A La Carte (6/6)

Du Jour: J.D. Wetterling points out what looks like an interesting daily read, "A Word for the Day" by J.D. Watson--a daily one-page exposition on a year's worth of the most important Greek words in the Bible.

Books: Just last week I read a report that Christian book sales fell last year. Now the Christian Post is reporting that they have actually risen. A report "showed that religious books had grown strongly in 2006 with a net increase of 5.6 percent in net revenue compared to 2005."

History: Yahoo reports on the unveiling of the diary of a Jewish girl from Poland that dates from World War 2. She writes, "The little faith I used to have has been completely shattered. If God existed, He would have certainly not permitted that human beings be thrown alive into furnaces, and the heads of little toddlers be smashed with gun butts or shoved into sacks and gassed to death."

Sports: I've been amused by the controversy over the logo for the 2012 Olympics--clearly an terrible logo, and one that cost a staggering £400,000 to create. No wonder the Olympics always lose money!
