Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day here in the United States. That means the post office and banks are closed. So with nothing else to do, enjoy these interesting bits from around the web.

Coffee Break

The Quantified Coffee Drinker – I hear lots of things about coffee, and how it affects people’s day, their sleep, their attitudes, and more. Here is a brief study one person did about how his coffee drinking habits affected his sleep. The results are interesting.

Movie Title Typos – What happens if you remove one letter from a movie title? Have you ever thought about that? Apparently, someone did. And they created a series of fake movie concepts on the result. Some of these are pretty funny. I think my favorite is Obocop.

Maggot To Fly Transformation – This video is both fascinating and slightly disgusting at the same time. But it is cool to look at how these tiny creatures transform from one form to another.

Your Messy Desk Is Ruining Your Career – One of my pet peeves is when my desk is more cluttered than it needs to be. There will always be a certain amount of things that need to stay on my desk in order to stay within the realm of my attention. But there can come a point when it becomes too much. And that is the point of this article.

The Still, Small Voice – One of the events found in 1 Kings is one most people are familiar with. It’s when God spoke to Elijah in a still, small voice. This brief look at that text gives some great devotional thoughts concerning God’s love for us, through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

Heaven Will Never Be Boring – I feel that there is a lot of misconception about what heaven will be like, partly due to the flood of “near-death” or “I visited heaven” books out there. But heaven will never become boring, and here are a few reasons why.

This one word “grace” contains within itself the whole of New Testament theology. – J. I. Packer
