Coffee Break

The Espro Press – I’m a fan of my Chemex, and the next in line for my coffee brewing method is my Hario V60. But this press looks like it might be worth a shot, especially if it filters out all the gunk that my normal French Press doesn’t.

The Art Of Pickpocketing – This is a pretty cool video explaining how one Vegas performer snags things from his victims on stage. But it also goes to show just how easily a street pickpocket can grab something before you know it.

Dramatic Iceland – One of the places I’ve always wanted to visit is Iceland. This stunning time-lapse video of this winder fairy tale only makes that desire greater. The shots of the landscapes, cityscapes, and Aurora Borealis simply amazing.

Beauty Is For Everyone – Great art is meant to be shared. And the designers of Central Park, in New York City, had that thought when they created a space in the city for people to use, to share, to enjoy. It’s true… Great art is a generosity.

The Importance Of The Genealogies Of The Bible – I’ve loved the genealogies listed in the Bible for a long time. These passages, while seeming pointless, carry a lot of information in their lists. This brief article gives another reason to enjoy them.

A Surrogate Mom’s Courage – This article popped into my email inbox literally as I was writing this post. It’s such a dramatic story, hitting so close to home in our culture today, that I felt it was something worth sharing. While this lady made the wrong choice in becoming a surrogate mother, she did the right thing with the child in the end.

Self-image, the concept we have of ourselves, must begin not by looking in the mirror but by looking into the face of God. – Sam Storms
