Weekend A La Carte (2/16)

A La Carte Collection cover image

What Are an Asteroid, a Meteor and a Meteorite? – Asteroids, meteors and meteorites have been in the news lately, and space.com explains the differences between them. (Space.com would probably gain a little bit more credibility if they would reduce the ridiculous quantity of banner ads on their site!)

The Beards of Ministry – “Face it, folks: the beard is back in a big way. Along with celebrities, bike messengers, and your local barista, pastors are no exception to the glories of facial hair.” Here’s a tongue-in-cheek infographic to brighten your day.

The Abortion Double-Standard – “In the last two weeks, Houston has been the backdrop for two stories that aptly reveal more of the double-standards set by abortion supporters. These harrowing abortion stories blatantly demonstrate the fallacies that accompany legislation and philosophies aimed at enshrining abortion as a right or a good.”

Love Game – This is a heart-warming story. “When faced with deciding between the two loves of his life, for Ben Pike, it wasn’t even close. Football would not win this time.” (HT)

Photographs of the Sun – There are some amazing photographs here. “Alan Friedman is a fascinating guy. By day he’s a maker of greeting cards and a lover of hats, but in his spare time he’s a self-proclaimed space cowboy who points a telescope skyward from his backyard in downtown Buffalo, directly into the light of the sun.”

Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayers and worn with thanks.
