Significant Books of 2009
Keith Mathison, who has read every theology text and commentary ever written, provides a roundup of significant books from 2009.
Fishing: Canadian Style
A little glimpse of Canada for you. Do I need to provide the disclaimer “Don’t try this at home?”
Are You SAD?
My friend David Murray, who clearly has the best accent in the Reformed world, has released this short little video which addresses Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Matt Chandler
Matt Chandler’s church has released an update after he was told the results of the pathology tests. “On Tuesday, Dr. Barnett informed Matt and Lauren that the findings of the pathology report revealed a malignant brain tumor that was not encapsulated. The surgery to remove the tumor, the doctor said, was an extremely positive first step; however, because of the nature of the tumor, he was not able to remove all of it.”
Christmas Cheer
A few goofy Christmas-themed comics.
Free Shipping @ Amazon
By way of FYI, today is the last day you can order items from Amazon and have them shipped for free with a guarantee that they will arrive by the 24th of December. Today’s deals are not all that interesting, I suppose, though a Columbia fleece throw for $11 isn’t too bad. I feel like I should apologize for all the Amazon updates lately, but I really love the place and love combing through it for deals.

“I feel like I should apologize for all the Amazon updates lately,”
That made me chuckle.
I signed up for the “Deal of the Day” email at your prompting but they haven’t been that great, such wide variety and cost of items.
(Disclaimer: I work for Pat Morley at Man in the Mirror)Pat Morley also wrote a great short piece, “To Anyone With a Broken Heart.” A short excerpt: “What is breaking your heart today? Maybe an injustice — by you or against you. Maybe you’re grieving, or need to grieve, what could’ve been…” But it goes on: “God loves you very much. He has good plans for you. If I were a pastor, the sign over the door of my church would read, ‘Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’”http://www.maninthemirror.org/weeklybriefing/wb351.htm
Those were cute comics, but someone (Tim) is apparently suffering from White Witch confusion — those were all about winter, and none about Christmas. ;-)
