think. taste. create. give.

A few posts from the past week that challenged me to Think, Taste, Create, or Give…

THINK.

Love and Prayer and Grace ~ a touching and challenging post on the difficulties sometimes encountered in adult friendships.  I’ve been going through one of these, so I found great encouragement in these words.

12 Ways to Glorify God at Work ~ from Desiring God “He has designed work for his glory and our good. But how might we glorify God at work?”

TASTE.

Key Lime Whippers ~ These creamy desserts, served in little tea light holders from Ikea, sound perfectly delicious and look simply beautiful.  I’m always looking for an excuse to make a road trip to Ikea or to have dessert, for that matter.  Two birds, one stone!

Grilled Corn ~ Can you believe that I have lived in Ohio for almost 7 years now yet I have never grilled corn?  Maybe this is the summer to give it a try!  Fresh corn will be at the Farmer’s Market before long.

CREATE.

Vintage-Style Red Scooter Birthday Party ~ This site has wonderful party ideas, and I thought this one was fantastic.

Tutorials for Photoshop Elements ~ an index of tutorials for PSE.  So many helpful posts collected in one place!

GIVE.

Waking up to Poverty & Injustice ~ something I wrote earlier this week after a very sleepless night.  Includes a few helpful resources for simple ways you can fight poverty & injustice.

Gaba Bible Institute (Uganda) ~ GBI is a Christian college promoting evangelical theological education in Uganda.  They’ve recently moved to a new location, expanding both their facilities and their ability to train more students.  A Campus Expansion Project and a Library Expansion Project are currently underway.  You can help!

TOMS Sunglasses ~ Have you heard of Toms’ new One for One Program?  Buy a pair of sunglasses, Give sight to one person through medical treatment, prescription glasses, or sight saving surgery.
