Friday Links Roundup: The REAL Game on Saturday

Did you know there are football games tomorrow? I know, with the lack of media coverage, it would be easy to miss that Florida and Alabama play tomorrow. I hope that wasn’t a shock to you.

However, we know that one of those teams will play for the BCS national championship. So, why watch? There’s no drama there.

The REAL game is between Texas and Nebraska! If the Cornhuskers pull a major upset, they will earn a BCS bid and quite possibly open the door for TCU to play for a national title. Now THAT’S worth watching!!!

On to the links for this week:

1. I often speak about the way the modern media treats parents. Stan Mitchell picks up on that theme in a great way in “What Do We Communicate?”

2. God doesn’t ask us to be mindless robots. He commands us to be thinking people. Jeremiah Tatum reminds us of the importance of using our minds in “Thinking Caps.”

3. I love the Bible School program, and anything practical to help that program work well is welcome. Matt Dabbs published a great reminder called “The Benefits of Taking a Break from Bible School Teaching.” If you have any “say” in a Bible school program, please read this one!

4. Justin Gerhardt posted a powerful video this week. It is about 5 minutes in length, but it is well worth your time. Trust me, this one will make you think a lot. Enjoy “A Letter from Future You.”

5. With gift-buying being a priority this time of year, I love articles like this one. Christian Personal Finance posted “5 Ways to Show Love to Your Kids Without Spending a Dollar.” (I did one of these last night with the kids, and it was awesome!)

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and that you take time to serve God in some way this weekend. Make sure you don’t forget Him on His day!
