A La Carte (8/8)

A La Carte Collection cover image

It was 13 years ago today that Aileen and I were married. We are celebrating by driving the 850 miles from Toronto to Chattanooga to spend a few days with family. Actually, we got a start yesterday and drove as far as Dayton, Ohio, so we’ve got just half of the drive remaining. We will pay a visit to the National Museum of the United States Air Force (I’m geeky that way) and then we’ll hit the road.

WORLD – World has a couple of things to check out–their iPad edition is now allowing digital subscriptions and they’ve also put together a gallery of their covers from the past 25 years.

Where Children Sleep – This is a really interesting photo gallery. “As much as the project is about the quirkiness of childhood, it is, more strikingly, a commentary on class and on poverty. But the diversity also provides a sense of togetherness.”

Ashtown Burials – Be sure to check out the trailer for N.D. Wilson’s newest book. It’s very, very well-done. My son really wants to read this book now. So do I.

The Glory of God – Fans of Christian rap will want to grab this free single from Shai Linne. It’s from a forthcoming album that will exult in the glories of God.

Death–What a Mystery – Conrad Mbewe mourns the death of his sister and writes about the great mystery that is death.

Evolution Refuted – From Answers in Genesis.

The law may express sin but it cannot suppress sin.

—Thomas Adams

    The Deepest Thirst of All

    The God who created us formed us in such a way that we are not meant to exist apart from him. To live apart from God is the spiritual equivalent of trying to live without food and water. It will lead only to weakness, pain, and death.
