Round the Sphere Again

This week's Christian Carnival can be found at Attention Span. And it has a Gilligan's Island theme!

Chief Executive Mom discusses God's Eternal Decrees, a subject that always brings lots of discussion. Via Intellectuelle.

In Is God Santa Clause?, Allan Myatt of Imago Veritatis asks how people can "count the cost" if a gospel message doesn't include a little bit about what the cost might be.

The Crusty Curmudgeon discusses the problems he finds in what he calls Proof by mysticism.

Darren of Papercut Theology has a little bone to pick with his church's statement on grace.

Apparently it was strange question week in the search query department. First up is why were the puritans frowning so much? What I want to know is how would one know they frowned a lot? Photographs?

And then there's this: How do you know when you are dead? Hmmm....that's a toughie. Here's a clue though: If you typed that question into the search engine, then you aren't there yet.

Via the queries I learned this, too: My fifteen minutes of fame are over. Yesterday, if you searched for just "rebecca", I was number 1. Today I've slipped to the third spot.
