Things I Recommend

• Brandi Carlile's Cover of "The Times They Are A-Changin'" :: Available on iTunes on the Serve2 (Fighting Poverty & Hunger) album.  I don't even care if it's for charity (surely I'm glad it is); I bought it for my ears!
• Freschetta's newest pizza line, Pizza Amore :: pre-sliced (so one pizza lasts for four meals, read: cheap pizza!) + fresh toppings (so my mouth is happy) = happiness.
• Recycling :: don't take it for granted
• Um, Josh Ritter yo.
• WorkingPreacher.org :: Dr. Fred Gaiser (who is, quite frankly, incredible) helped me write this week's sermon.
• Sending your Grandma a Christmas Poinsettia :: On sale now at Bachman's!
• Enjoying sunshine and 70 degree weather in December.  I checked the MN forecast; it's 8 degrees there.
• Alfred Lord Tennyson's "In Memoriam" :: "For merit lives from man to man, and not from man, O Lord, to thee."  Only 131 more verses to work through.
• The new Maira Kalman collection The Principles of Uncertainty.  Brilliant.
