A La Carte (05/02)

Tuesday May 2, 2006

Conference: Laurie, aka Ordinary Mother, writes that even though she could not attend the Together for the Gospel Conference, she and her family are together for the gospel too!

Commentary: Al Mohler has an interesting little article dealing with “the high cost of speed.” “I know of no way to resolve this problem (and I don’t have the time at present for an adequate analysis, of course)…”

Music: YouTube has a neat video that plays Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor along with a scrolling score.

Conference Bonus: Paul has a roundup of some good quotes from the Together for the Gospel conference. Unfortunately he missed Mohler’s golden moment: “If you actually saw an angel, you’d wet your pants!”

  • Prayer

    Spread Too Thin

    With so much to do, we can easily begin to wonder whether prayer is an appropriate use of scarce time. Wouldn’t it be better to give my attention to something that would let me cross something off my to-do list?
