Celebrity Pastors Podcast and Links

Good Morning, or Moaning, if you prefer. It is a cold, blustery, gray day here in the Northeast, as usual, and we’ve fought our way into the dawn with a shortish podcast about Carl Lentz, why God is probably blessing you if your life is difficult and disappointing, and why the pastor shouldn’t preach in a muscle shirt. I feel like it’s something–who knows what–but something.

Here is the NYT article we talk about.

Here is something heartrending by Challies.

Here is an old invention I sort of wish we could bring back, although it looks like it would be hard to keep tidy.

I just finished this book (though not the review that I’m linking) and I loved it, LOVED IT.

We dined on Duck and Gingerbread in honor of St. Nicholas yesterday and it was delicious.

This is funny and sad.

This is beautiful.

Here is a helpful class and a lovely Advent Lessons and Carols. The excellent sermon will be up tomorrow because of a technological something or other.

Have a lovely day! I’m going to clean off my desk because I’m about to be killed by a pile of books and paper.
