Science: National Geographic interviews creationist and Christian Francis Collins.

Technology: This guy nicely sums up my feelings about Macs. “Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.”

Pastors: Paul finishes a short series on the pastor as leader.

Photo: Interesting photos of a rare phenomenon.

Sports: The Christian Post highlights an interesting quote by Tony Dungy after winning the Superbowl.

Friday October 28, 2005 Halloween: Apparently when it comes to pumpkins, White is the new orange. Du Jour: Laura touches on something I’ve been thinking about lately. “I’m coming to realize that surely, reading/skimming the amount of information that reaches my brain on an average day does me far more harm than good.” Politics: This…

Are You Binding the Wound or Aggravating It?

One of the privileges we have as Christians is the privilege of caring for one another—of blessing one another in our difficulties and comforting one another in our sorrows.

When Christians Crash and Burn

The pictures quickly made their way around the world—pictures of an aircraft lying upside down in the snow just beyond runway 23 at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. On February 17, Delta flight 4819 landed hard, shearing off the right wing and flipping over before finally sliding to a stop. Remarkably, despite the crash and subsequent…

There is something satisfying about complaining, isn’t there? Even though we know it’s sinful, we still find a sick satisfaction in it. For some reason, airing our grievances seems to be a form of therapy. It does not take much to reveal the discontentment that lurks just beneath the surface of our lives. I can’t…
