But It's the Prom!

This is one of the best reads I've ran across in a while. I appreciate all that Brother Steve Higginbotham does in the kingdom; I'm especially grateful for his handling of this issue. I'll be running this in our bulletin next spring.

Well, dancing certainly has not become any more moral over the years. If anything, the modern dance is more sensuous today than it ever was...So then, what then has changed? What has changed are the attitudes and respect (or lack of) God’s people have for His will. Some apparently seem to be more willing to justify their “pet” sins than they are willing to justify God’s high moral standard.

How to Be on Time Every Time

Lifehack.org ran this back in the middle of May. It has some good helpful advice. I still struggle with being on time and with estimating how long tasks will take. Have a great weekend.

Leadership

Listened to a Catalyst Podcast yesterday. In the intro, there's this quote by Andy Stanley:

Leadership is a stewardship. It is temporary. And you're accountable.

Fun & Helpful Flickr Tool

I love the online photo community Flickr. It's a great place for finding and uploading digital copies of interesting photographs. We even have an official Midway Youth Flickr Group.

I ran across a site called Tag Galaxy the other day that makes finding useful photographs both easy and fun. Enter a photo tag, and start clicking on various "subtags." Eventually you can view the photos on the globe containing all the tags you selected. You can even open individual photos in Flickr.

Stuff Christians Like

Stuff Christians Like (SCL) is one of my favorite blog reads of the moment. It is a humorous approach to the daily lives of those who profess to follow Christ. Essentially, it is an attempt to "make fun" of some of the eccentricities of Christians. Some of them reflect important truths while some are about as random as it seems possible. Obviously, I don't agree with all of the conclusions and "theology" found within the posts, and it's likely you won't as well. Nevertheless, it is refreshing and worth contemplating...and laughing at.

A recent favorite: #250, The unicorn hymn or worship song.

ESV Study Bible

It's been a while in the making, but it's about time for the release of the ESV Study Bible. It's not scheduled for release until October 2008, but there's info out about it (and even a sample of Luke's gospel).

ESV Study Bible Preview at Bible Design & Binding (one of my favorite "time-wasting" places)

Currently, Amazon is running the ESV Study Bible at 36% off. Of course, you'll have to wait until October before it ships. It's available in several bindings, not just the hardcover pictured here.
