Coffee Break Banner

The Caffeine Causality Loop – This is reality some days. Most days, I don’t drink more than a cup, maybe two. But other days, pots and post aren’t enough to help me out. And then this happens.

Stop Motion Bookcase – This is one of the coolest stop motion videos I have ever seen. The bookcases look pretty awesome. The concept is great. And the book he reads at the end to the children is perfect.

17 Years Later, LEGOs Wash Ashore – In 1997, a container ship lost a massive amount of the cargo it was carrying. One of those containers contained 4.8 million LEGO pieces. These pieces have been washing up on the beaches near Cornwall, UK, ever since. This is a simply fascinating article.

Logos 6 – I have been using the Logos Bible software for the past couple of years. I purchased it when I switched from youth ministry to preaching. I love it! I wonder how I managed without it sometimes. Recently, Logos 6 was released, and it is better than ever. ChurchMag has a great article about it, but you can also go right to the Logos website to find out more.

6 Evil Effects Of Sin – Tim Challies has a weekly post called “Reading Classics Together.” Right now, he is reading Overcoming Sin And Temptation by John Owen. In this post, a synopsis of chapter four of the book, he reviews six effects that occur when we refuse to do battle with sin.

10 Sermon Introduction Mistakes – As a minister, I’ve been reading more and more on the concept of preaching, reviewing my old homiletics books from college, finding great articles online, and buying newer books to read as well. Here is a great post on the sermon introduction.

Adversity is like a strong wind. I don’t mean just that it holds us back from places we might otherwise go. It also tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that afterward we see ourselves as we really are, and not merely as we might like to be. – Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha
