An Unforgettable Christmas – It is so true: “Kids learn to love what brings their parents delight.” There is direct application for the Christmas season.

Embiggening English – It has been many, many years since I’ve watched an episode of The Simpsons. But I did enjoy reading this article about its impact on the English language.

Ligonier – Ligonier also has some good books on sale today for $5 each, and they include a favorite: R.C. Sproul’s The Truth of the Cross. There are several other deals as well.

The Everything Books – “Amazon won the book war. In a series of rare interviews, the company tells us what’s next.”

The Thank You Project – “Ten years after a tragic car accident, Kellie wants to find the heroes that saved her son’s life and thank them.”

    With Our Eyes on God

    Life inevitably faces us with grievous trials and terrible troubles. None of us remains unscathed and undamaged as we make our way through this fallen world.
