A La Carte (11/22)

A La Carte Collection cover image

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and family! I trust that you will enjoy a day of rest and fellowship and football and whatever else it is that your family enjoys on this day. Here are a few links if you intend to spend at least a bit of the day online:

Amazon has a large selection of music on sale. You can find albums by Chris Tomlin, MercyMe, Newsboys, and a lot of others (both Christian and non). Amazon sells music within the US of A only, so the rest of us get left out.

Hobby Lobby – Denny Burk provides context and then points to a profile of Hobby Lobby. “Hobby Lobby, the mega craft store, has lost the first round of their case against the government over the contraception mandate, and will be fined $1.3 million per day starting January 1st if they do not pay for contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients through employee provided insurance.”

Owl City – PluggedIn has an interview with Adam Young, a.k.a. Owl City. “Adam Young never asked to be a pop star. Oh, he’s not complaining. But when the shy kid from Owatonna, Minn., posted a few of his songs on MySpace for friends and family back in 2009, he didn’t expect a computerized ditty called ‘Fireflies’ to go viral. Now it’s his signature song. And he has just completed another world tour.”

The Church of England – I enjoyed this article from The Atlantic. It looks at the Church of England and its rejection of a proposal to allow women to serve as bishops. Not surprisingly, Carl Trueman also comments on the issue.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being Shannon – R.C. Sproul Jr. has a touching article on his daughter Shannon. “It was always my contention, living with a special needs daughter who could be called home at any time, that it was not her health issues that determined when should go, but my spiritual health issues.”

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

—G.K. Chesterton

    When the Shepherd’s Rod is … You!

    It is for good reason that so many Christians commit Psalm 23 to memory, for as it tells of the love of the Shepherd for his sheep, and as it describes the tender protection of his flock, it assures us that God is leading and guiding us through the dark valleys of our lives. “Even…

    A Trusted and Helpful Guide To the Bible

    One of the best things I have ever done is to get into the habit of reading through the entire Bible every year—or almost every year, at least. While this necessarily involves sacrificing some depth, it involves gaining breadth. As I have read and re-read the Bible, I have come to a greater familiarity with…

    A La Carte: Charlie Kirk Special Edition

    When articles about Kirk flooded my app this morning, I knew his death was proving to be especially noteworthy. For that reason, I thought it might be worth putting together this special edition of A La Carte. I do so simply to provide a curated collection of articles written by people whose writing I follow…
