There has been quite a lot of weighty stuff in A La Carte over the past couple of weeks. So I saved up some humorous links that may just let you begin your weekend with a laugh. Enjoy!

Innocent Abroad – John Mark Reynolds took a trip to Canada and his reflections are all kinds of hilarious. “Canada is very big. It is much bigger than Connecticut and Rhode Island combined!

Guilty – This video will make your morning.

A Scary Nose – If the dog didn’t make you laugh, maybe the baby will.

A Little Old – From the New Yorker:

A Little Old

There ain’t much fun in medicine, but there’s a good deal of medicine in fun.

  • What Grieves the Heart of God

    What Grieves the Heart of God?

    What pleases God? What delights his heart? And what displeases God? What grieves his heart? If asked, I think most of us would assume that if we ever grieve the heart of God it will be through denying the gospel or committing a grave moral scandal. Or if we do so as a local church,…
