Wednesday November 8, 2006

Music: “Christianity Today” has a roundup of this year’s Christmas music.

Abortion: A friend passed along this story. “A Pennsylvania school is receiving heavy criticism from pro-life advocates for taking a group of students on a field trip to a local Planned Parenthood abortion business. More than a dozen teenagers from the Solebury School were bused to an abortion center”

Church: Rick Phillips has some good and wise things to say about Ted Haggard and the scandal surrounding him.

Technology: Fox reports that teens are less likely than any other demographic to use email. Instead they rely on social network sites and instant messaging.

People: Tuesdays are for testimonies over at Thoughts and Adventures. This week’s testimony is from Pastor Jeff Noblit.

Books: Crossway has updated their list of upcoming books through Spring of 2007. It looks like there will be some great titles coming from Wheaton, Illinois next year!

    So Many Dumb Ways To Die

    Do you remember the catchy little earworm “Dumb Ways To Die?” In what was undoubtedly one of history’s most successful public awareness campaigns, Metro Trains of Melbourne, Australia, reached millions of people around the world with their message of railroad safety. They did this through an irresistibly snappy song.
