Coffee Break – 01.21.2013

Coffee Break

The Great Coffee Wave Of Vilnius – What goes great with a cup of creativity? Coffee, of course! I found this image on DCILY of a wave made of coffee, inspired by a famous Japanese woodblock print. Pretty cool.

Stop Motion Movie Made With Moleskines – I’m a sucker for a cool journal. I love writing, and use both Moleskine and Field Notes journals. When I saw this stop motion video made entirely with Moleskine journals, I was pretty excited. It’s delightfully creative.

30 Things You Might Not Know About CS Lewis – CS Lewis is my favorite author, hands down. I love almost everything I read by him, and have most of his works on my shelves. One day, I want to find a copy of his letters and read those as well, and I’d love to visit the Kilns, Lewis’ home in Oxford. These facts are pretty fun.

23 Reasons To Be Joyful – One of my favorite letters in the New Testament is Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Paul Tautges has identified 23 statements from these four short chapters that give us reason to be joyful. It’s a great starting point to look for more.

Three Is The Loveliest Number – One of the most often asked questions I hear is about the concept of the Trinity. It’s a mystery to most, and for good reason, it’s complexities are mind-boggling. But does it have to be so difficult? In this Christianity Today article, the answer is no. While there are layers upon layers about the Trinity that this article doesn’t, and can’t, address, it is still a though-provoking article, worth a few minutes of your time.

333,964 Murders In 2011 – That’s the number of official abortions performed by Planned Parenthood released in their annual report. That translates into one life ended every 94 seconds. This saddens me greatly. The American genocide continues.

The measure of our love for others can largely be determined by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them. – A. W. Pink
