Precious Beyond Words – Randy Alcorn expresses his love and admiration for Sono Sato Harris who went to be with the Lord just two days ago.

Iceberg Art – God is the world’s best artist. Here he displays some of his work in icebergs.

Giveaways – My friend Becky keeps giving away awesome stuff through her site (well, let’s be honest–it’s awesome if you’re a woman; guys probably aren’t quite so interested).

Christian Audio Sale – Christian Audio is having a 72-hour sale on Randy Alcorn’s books, one of which is priced at just $0.98.

    Not too long ago, there was a trend in which people would see how close they could come to being hit by a train without actually being hit by a train. That’s about as stupid a game as I can imagine. Play stupid games, win stupid games, as the kids say. But researching sin when…
