A La Carte (December 30)

Is Evolution Biblically Acceptable? – I’m glad to see Rick Phillips taking on this huge question.

Officer Rafael Ramos – CNN: “Rafael Ramos was an unusual cop. He saw the streets of New York as his ministry. In fact, he was just hours away from becoming a lay chaplain and graduating from a community-crisis chaplaincy program before he and fellow New York police Officer Wenjian Liu were gunned down in their patrol car Saturday in Brooklyn.

A Bad Business Model – “Imagine if you could only fill up your car with one brand of gasoline. Once you bought the car, you were trapped — try any other brand, and your car wouldn’t even start. It sounds crazy, but this same business model is proliferating across industries from coffee machines to cleaning brushes.”

Disassembling a Rolex – I found this video strangely fascinating–stripping a $8,000 watch to its smallest component and then putting it back together.

Kara’s End – Those who have been following Kara Tippett’s blog will want to read this update.

Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you’re not saved yourself, be sure of that!

    Prime Day Deals for Christians

    Amazon’s annual Prime Day deals are here, and for those of us who use Amazon anyway, it’s a time to get some deals. You’ll find items on sale across all categories. Of course, my interest is in books and, thankfully, there are lots of great deals to be had (in printed, not Kindle editions).
