Wednesday March 21, 2007

Weird: Animal rights activists in Germany want to kill a baby bear rather than have him “brought up suffering the humiliation of being treated as a domestic pet.”

Church: Trevin Wax asks some good and interesting questions about multi-site churches.

Humor: Cute. And funny.

Debate: Al Gore has been challenged to a debate. I’ve got a shiny nickel that says he won’t accept the challenge because that would be to admit that some people disagree with him.

Film: The Nativity Story is now available on DVD. Christianity Today discusses why it flopped.

Iraq: An interesting perspective on the Kurdish portion of Iraq.

Du Jour: Mark Dever reflects on two painful lessons.

Books: The New Attitude blog has a good article on how to recommend books without ruining souls.

Humor: Maybe sheep aren’t as dumb as we thought.
