Weekend A La Carte (5/14)

A La Carte Collection cover image

I woke up early this morning to take my daughter to breakfast at Denny’s–pretty much her all-time favorite daddy date. We walked outside and there, lying on the ground in the middle of the road, was a coupon for 20% off any order at Denny’s. We took it as a sign.

Publishers WinChristian Retailing rounds up a few of the Love Wins responses that are already in the works.

Bulletin Bloopers – Thom Rainer collects bulletin bloopers and in this blog post he shares a few of his all-time favorites. Example: “The pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregation would lend him their electric girdles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday morning.”

Bagels and Donuts – I feel like I can only get away with posting links to this kind of thing on a Saturday. I found this one rather amusing.

Gospel Seeds in Uganda – Matt Schmucker reports on an amazing experience he had in Uganda.

The Creation-Evolution Debate – C. Michael Patton has a brief but helpful round-up of the different views of the origins of the world.

Space Pictures – National Geographic has a gallery of some new and amazing pictures from space.

Grace finds us beggars but leaves us debtors.

    The Deepest Thirst of All

    The God who created us formed us in such a way that we are not meant to exist apart from him. To live apart from God is the spiritual equivalent of trying to live without food and water. It will lead only to weakness, pain, and death.
