A La Carte (June 17)

4 Ways to Reach a Child’s Heart – “Not just any fatherly involvement can reach the hearts of our children.” Rick Phillips describes the kind that can.

Children of the Moon – This is fascinating: “Albinos make up between 5 and 10 percent of the roughly 80,000 indigenous Gunas who live on the mainland of the Guna Yala region and its islands.”

Will You Forgive Me? – I’m far better at saying, “I’m sorry” than asking, “Will you forgive me?” For that reason this article challenged me.

When Does Adulthood Begin? – More and more people are linking adulthood not with age but with economics.

How Exciting Should Our Services Be? – Bob Kauflin is the go-to guy for questions like this. “The alternative to making our meetings more ‘exciting’ isn’t trying to bore people. But Sunday mornings aren’t New Year’s Eve celebrations. They aren’t rock concerts.”

A Self-Pity Refresher – “Self-pity: a self-absorbed, feeling sorry for oneself fueled by a high view of self, a low view of God, and an attitude of entitlement.”

A great company of saints witnesses to the fact that we can indeed flourish without romance, marriage, or children.

    They Won’t Because They Can’t

    If you’ve flown recently, you have probably made the same observation I have: No one pays attention to the pre-flight safety videos.
