My son successfully navigated my "MacGuyver obstacle course" featuring a lockpick set high out of reach, bomb-diffusing clues inside a padlocked bag, and a snap circuits "bomb" behind a locked bathroom door.

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts with this?

I'm honestly asking because, though I'm a student of the and I have no shortage of resources for understanding it at the academic level, I'm not terribly familiar with children's bibles. Are there any good ones?

Though this is from the fellow at VeggieTales, it sounds like he's at least trying to integrate some basic biblical theology, which is an extremely valuable contribution if so.

National Catholic Register has a piece by Rick Becker suggesting that Catholic students and their parents consider faithful PROTESTANT colleges over secular and CINO (Catholic in name only) ones. He makes a lot of good points.

Shoutout to this guy for writing a script to add a per-user dark mode toggle to Rocket.Chat.

It's a bummer that there's no native dark mode yet, but since this is open source software, I was able to add one, that somebody else wrote! I didn't even know you could add custom scripts to Rocket.Chat till I came across this.

Wow, what an awesome night! Let our first discussion through Plummer's 40 Questions on Interpreting the Bible tonight. I had everyone read the first four questions, hoping that will be enough food for thought. We spent all our time (and went late) on the first two questions: what is the , and how is it organized. It's great to be surrounded by such curiosity and wonder at God's Word!

It's almost embarrassing how little attention is paid to Tolkien's faith and how it shaped his fiction. The only ones who seem to pay more than a passing nod to it are Christian readers of Tolkien.

And as far as I know (haven't seen it), the recent biopic didn't help matters much.

Reading Tolkien/LOTR without a conscious awareness of how permeates every page is like kissing the bride with the veil still on.

Would you replace your existing internet provider with a community-based ISP, assuming that you'd (at the very least) keep the same speed? If so/not, why?

Got my my second copy of the Hymns of Grace hymnal from the Master's Press this week. I already own a leather copy, which is nice and durable to carry, but this cloth bound edition is more beautiful. Unlike other hymnals that are crowded with cruft, Hymns of Grace clocks in at a mere ~350 hymns (with another hundred or so responsive scripture readings), carefully curated to be theologically and doxologically rich. I'm thankful for this collection of exalting songs!

Found: A Seal That May Have Belonged to a Biblical Courtier - Atlas Obscura atlasobscura.com/articles/foun

> IN 586 BC, KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR II of Babylonia ordered the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem. The siege may have precipitated the exile of Jews to Babylonia and the creation of a Jewish diaspora (the exile may have also begun earlier), but the Babylonians failed to destroy all traces of Temple-era life. One such artifact has just turned up in an excavation, and it may have belonged to a royal courtier personally named in the Bible.

@masterofthetiger@theres.life I'm not theres.life, but I appreciate that it's around. Thanks for running it. Seems to be a disappointing dearth of Christians on the fediverse. Any tips on other servers or folks I should follow?
