Turkey is most glorified in you when you are most stuffed with it.

Proof this is my first turkey: “What’s a roasting bag?”, “I can’t just cook it on a cookie sheet?”, “It has to cook 3.5 hours?! Drat.”

File Under: Also, rare I plug fashion blogs, but check out hers. I hear she’s big in Austin. And Texas is big. So that’s really big. (Not calling you fat, Indy.)

Not to be confused with the trailer for the upcoming Tim Burton/Johnny Depp remake of Alice in Wonderland, Paramore’s music video for “Brick by Boring Brick”.

If you’ve yet to, you should check out Mystery Google.

It’s a pretty fun idea. It basically shows you the Google search whatever the person put in before you. (I guess it could get pretty sketchy, but I started typing things like “the Gospel”.) Enjoy.

The uncanny Andrew Faris walked into my house today, and the first thing he said to me was, “Have you read the Challies post on the Ultimate Christian Novel?” He insisted that I, immediately, sit down and read it.

I don’t regret abiding.

Amish. Vampires. Of the Tribulation.

Run, don’t walk, to read this post.

John Piper posted this to the Desiring God ministries blog.

It’s beautiful. I’ve been thinking a lot about prison ministry lately. Bearing in mind, it isn’t to call all ministry into question, but it’s strange to think how there can be a self-serving aspect to ministry. But in a place like prison, those things disappear. Because, by and large amid Joes-on-the-street, who really cares if a Death Row inmate meets Jesus? And to that end, it can be a real place where one could be truly “in secret”. Like a giant inner room. And you can be certain the door will be locked behind you.

It’s a pretty amazing to see the work, the restoration, even amid a place of sheer hopelessness. To see how God is working for “the least of these” (if you will).
