Don’t Waste Your Life! I read Piper’s book by the same title earlier this year and highly recommend it. Doug McHone suggests that listening to John Piper’s sermon, Boasting Only in the Cross, will “[put] a whole new spin on New Year’s resolutions.” In the message Piper hits on the same theme you’ll find in the book–don’t waste your life.

When you’re done with the first part of Piper’s sermon get the rest of it here–Boasting Only in the Cross (part 2).

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

We had a worship filled service this Christmas morning with our church family. It was great being together.

Here’s the tree in our living room today right before we shared presents with the children.

I’ve been using the social bookmark manager del.icio.us for a long time now and don’t know how I’d keep track of my bookmarks as efficiently without it. If you aren’t using del.icio.us yet or aren’t using it much, slackermanager.com has a good piece today on “The Several Habits of Wildly Successful del.icio.us Users“.

It’s another beautiful day in Northern Michigan. This is one of the many joys of living at Higgins Lake. We’re in a special snow belt–we seem to get a regular coating of the white stuff this time of year.
