“How fun!” I find myself exclaiming this many times throughout the week. Here are just a few things that touched me or made me smile:

We’re posting on Thursday this week in honor of Good Friday and Easter.  How Fun! will return to its normal Friday schedule next week.

Getting the holiday meal on the table takes a little orchestration. I find it helpful to make a little chart that tells me what time I should put each dish in the oven. This way, everything is ready to go at the right time. Hopefully. Yeah. Ed whipped up a chart for this very purpose. Click the image below to download the PDF file to your computer. Let me know if it helps with preparing your holiday meals!

Have you every read The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel?  It’s a fantastic book with lots of evidence that supports the biblical account of who Jesus was.  It’s been turned it into a DVD documentary. Brittany at 17 Hours is have a wonderful giveaway for this very DVD.

I saw this video from Rend Collection at The Good Life. It is worth watching the whole thing. We serve a God of celebration!

I want to thank Outside the City Gate for the book Love Idol by Jennifer Dukes Lee that they are sending me from their giveaway.  They give away a free book every week!  I think that there will definitely be some things for me to learn from this book.

Have a great weekend! Remember Philippians 4:8. “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
