Iceberg Art – God is the world’s best artist. Here he displays some of his work in icebergs.

Giveaways – My friend Becky keeps giving away awesome stuff through her site (well, let’s be honest–it’s awesome if you’re a woman; guys probably aren’t quite so interested).

Christian Audio Sale – Christian Audio is having a 72-hour sale on Randy Alcorn’s books, one of which is priced at just $0.98.

Why Morning People Rule the World – I enjoyed reading this article which tells why morning people rule the world. “Morning-ness is perceived as a sign of activity and zest, whereas evening-ness implies laziness and loafing….
