Bringing Up Baby Too Fast
"The smock market is in freefall - the coming breed of mothers want their children to look like adorable miniature versions of themselves. What better accessory to tote around than a tiny fashionista? Children are the new handbags."
Is Michelle Obama "Letting Down the Team?"
Dr. Mohler writes about Michelle Obama. "As for Mrs. Obama, she has made her position clear -- she will devote herself first and foremost to being the wife of the President and the mother of their children. She is willingly and eagerly choosing the role of 'First Mom.'"
American Airlines Now Charging Fees To Non-Passengers
You've got to love The Onion. "Arpey said that non-passengers of American Airlines should expect to pay a small fee when making Greyhound bus reservations, choosing to drive to their final destination, or simply being a citizen of the United States with a valid Social Security number. Arpey went on to note that some additional charges would also apply, including a $15 fee for every piece of luggage customers have inside their bedroom closet, and a one-time payment of $40 for any American whose name is Greg."

Christianity Today offers a review of Sovereign Grace Music's Psalms CD.
Deal of the Day: TomTom One
GPS systems seem to be the gift to give this Christmas. Amazon has the 4.3-Inch Widescreen version heavily discounted today. Looks like I'll be returning the one I bought for someone and replacing it with this (and saving a few bucks along the way).

TimDo you get some sort of 'commission' if we order the TomTom from your site? How do we go about doing that so your site benefits?Let me know soon so I can order before they run out. What a great deal. I have been looking for one for a long time but just didn't want to pay so much. Thanks for the link.
Thanks for the info on the TomTom. I clicked from your site, and now I have a nice Christmas present for my husband!
Jackie - If you click the link and order anything from Amazon, Amazon will trace the referral to me and throw a couple bucks my way. Thanks for asking!
D'oh! I went to my Tuesday morning meeting and, by the time I got home, Amazon had sold out. What a bummer. I guess $129 is still a pretty good price...
I respect Dr. Mohler but... now he says being a stay-at-home mom is good and great and denounces the feminists for deriding Michele Obama's choice. Yet in this posting on Washington Post's OnFaith page http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/r_albert_mohler_jr/2008/09/a_tale_of_two_offices.htmlhe defends Sarah Palin for tackling the tough job of VP and being a mother and chastises the feminists for going after her. What gives?! Ahhh... I love the smell of Christian situational ethics in the morning. It's never about being consistent, it's always about promoting an ideology at the expense of integrity. And they wonder why the younger evangelicals are leaving the political fold...
From the little that I know, it seems that Mrs. Obama is a more admirable women than Sarah Palin. Mrs. Obama has chosen to do what Sarah Palin has not.
Ooops! I typed "women" rather than "woman".
