    A La Carte (March 23)

    My family had a quiet weekend—but I expect that is true of the great majority of people who read this site.

    I’ve been writing various Christian publishers to ask if they’d be willing to discount some books for kids—something that may help out their parents in this time.

    I said yesterday that despite the urgency of the epidemic, I am trying to find articles on other subjects. That was especially difficult to for today, but I did find at least a few.

    One thing I attempt to emphasize in these daily A La Carte articles is variety—a variety of authors and a variety of subjects. The variety of subjects has been a challenge lately since, for good reason, we are flooded with articles on COVID-19. So bear with me as I share some of them (and a…

    We are mostly hunkered down here in Toronto, doing our best to track and follow the changing government recommendations.

    We are in unfamiliar and unprecedented times, aren’t we? As we hear growing news of lockdowns, quarantines, travel bans, and cancelations, isn’t it good to know that our God is sovereign? As R.C. Sproul said, “If there is one single molecule in this universe running around loose, totally free of God’s sovereignty, then we have…

    A La Carte (March 9)

    Last week I wrote about my trip to Greece and Italy later this week. Sadly, I’ve had to cancel it, less out of any great fear of contracting the virus, and more because many of the things I wanted to do and see have been shut down by it. It’s a strange time, just now……

    Yesterday my son texted Aileen to ask, “How do so many people know it’s my birthday?” So thanks to all those who saw him down at SBTS and said “happy birthday.” Also, I suppose this is proof that he doesn’t read my site! Today’s Kindle deals include a few good books, just like most other…

    I mentioned on Saturday that a pilot friend was taking me to spend some time in his airline’s flight simulator.

    Weekend A La Carte (February 29)

    What am I up to on this fine Saturday? A friend who is a pilot has invited me to spend a couple of hours with him in one of his airline’s flight simulators. That sounds like some next-level geekery to me. So off I go… Today’s Kindle deals include the usual Saturday list of Christian…
