Lincoln - 22 November 2011

Lincoln again?
Yep. Linkin’ again!

As in linking to noteworthy articles from other blogs and websites.

Making the Most of Turkey Time by David Mathis

What if God had more for our kin this Thanksgiving than the Macy’s parade, tryptophan-induced naps, and NFL football? What if we saw our gatherings with extended family not as [...]

Scripture Pickers

“Scripture is like a river, broad and deep, shallow enough here for lambs to go wading, but deep enough there for an elephant to float.” –Gregory Dialogus

This is from the beginning of Paul’s letter to the Colossians. What a [...]

On a Dark and Stormy Night

It was the night of July 5, 2003 as I walked to my tent at 11:30 p.m. I was on vacation with my family. The kids were both asleep in the old farmhouse with my wife, but since I have allergies to dust, I chose to sleep in a tent in the yard. We had [...]

This morning, a Christian friend of mine at work brought in some mail he received. It was not sent to him by name, but to his address. It was from the Fatima Center in Constable, New York. There was a copy of the Fatima Crusader magazine, a two-page letter and a donation [...]
