Sunday Stars for October 26th

There’s a strong, cold wind outside today, so we’re spending time inside with the newspaper. If you’re stuck inside, why not take a look at some of the links I’ve found this week on Google Reader:

• Dig your own root cellar – I wonder if the neighbors would think something’s up, if I start digging a big hole in the backyard, and filling it with a trash can…
• The Art of Thank You Note Writing – in a world where civility is at a premium, we could all use a lesson in the fine art of writing thank-you letters.
• The List of Good Words – if a friend of yours is feeling down, take a read of this article from Craig Groeschel and try it out.
• The Art of the Jack-O-Lantern: The Mental Floss website pulled together this compilation of pumpkin carving websites – some are VERY elaborate!
• Awakening Our Thirst for God, Part One and Part Two – If you’re feeling a little spiritually dry, here are some ideas for re-awakening your desire for God.
• Zoomed-In Food Art – all I can say is, someone has a LOT of extreme time on their hands.
• Easy Low-Carb Fried Rice – I’ve missed eating Chinese food since being on a low-carb diet, but this is a recipe I just may have to try out.
• 7 Burning Questions about Halloween – Again, the folks at Mental Floss answer all those those trivial questions you’ve wanted to ask but never have.
• 2nd-grade Student Council Speech – Read the last line of this, and agree with me that there’s hope for coming generations.
