A La Carte is running a little bit late today because I was recording a podcast. Busy day! Stay tuned a few minutes from now and I’ll also be posting an interview with John MacArthur.

Don’t Call it a Comeback - The Jude 3 Project has the first review I’ve seen of the book I contributed to. “Don't Call it a Comeback is a uniquely accessible and entertaining theology text. That's right, it is probably the theology text with the overall coolest title in the history of Christian publishing!”

Behind the Wheel - Andree Seu: “My son who lives in the heart of Philly says it's no good now with everybody packing a cell phone and moving their lips as they walk down the street alone: ‘You can't tell who the crazies are anymore.’”

Custom Domain Suffixes - This article deals with a new development on the Web and one that actually has very far-reaching implications. “The pillar of the basic Web address - the trusty .com domain - is about to face vast new competition that will dramatically transform the Web as we know it. New Web sites, with more subject-specific, sometimes controversial suffixes, will soon populate the online galaxy, such as .eco, .love, .god, .sport, .gay or .kurd.”

A New Kind of False Intimacy - This blogger suggests that Facebook offers us a new kind of false intimacy.

Please Don’t Use Google! - Andy Unedited wants writers to stop using Google. “Why should writers and speakers stop using Google as a supposed source of statistical authority? Much like using dictionary definitions…” You’ll have to click the link to read his reasons.

The cell phone story is funny. With bluetooth, it has opened up a whole new world of people waving their arms and talking loudly .

Aw, that’s sad, Rebecca. I think your story is repeated every day all over the place wherever technology is substituting for face to face relationships. I hope you can find some people to connect up with. Have you tried inviting a couple or three ladies over for coffee?

And this may be way out of line for me to point out, but a church pastored by a woman (even if it is your mom-in-law!)?

Rebecca, I can’t say that I know exactly what you feel like, but at my former “church” (it’s not a church) I felt in a similar way. It is different now, at the church that I’ve been a part of for almost a year now. The Lord has used times like these in my life to deepen my dependance on Him. Regardless of any rejection or feelings of loneliness, He is always there.
