A La Carte (June 1)

The Problem with Personality Tests – Yes, indeed. “Everyone wants to believe that the mere possession of a particular personality type gives them some sort of privileged access to or claim upon reality, society, or set of skills.”

Jesus Isn’t Looking for Flashy – “Sometimes it crosses my mind–aren’t there more lofty callings I’m equipped for? What about the other gifts God has given me?”

A Pocket Guide to the Papacy – I enjoyed Chris Castaldo’s review of a new book titled A Christian’s Pocket Guide to the Papacy: Its Origin and Role in the 21st Century.

Just one more week and my graphic artist will return. When she returns so will the quote graphics.

    Maybe We Make Meditation Too Difficult

    Of all the Christian disciplines, it is my guess that meditation may be the least practiced—though I suppose fasting might have something to say about that. Most people diligently make time to read the Bible and pray. And yet, while most people have good intentions when it comes to meditation, it so often seems to…
