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

    Life most certainly brings its challenges. Some of these are just little ruts along the way, some are deep and dark valleys, and some are lower still—the kind of rock bottom experiences that are so dreadful we wonder if we will be able to endure them with our faith intact.
