In addition to some of my ministry and personal posts, I'm going to be starting a "A la carte" post; hopefully doing them three times a week. These posts will be dedicated to bringing to you some of the ministry and spiritual (sometimes academic) resources that I am using or have discovered. I'm hoping this will help my readers in their ministry or personal life. If you have requests as to what you would want to see here, just leave a comment here or contact me using twitter, email, or facebook - links are on my home page.

This is a great web site that I have been looking at to get resources for children's ministry. It's a 100% free web site with a lot of stuff. Click HERE to check it out.
It was started by one guy at a small church and now gets 5 million hits a year - unreal. It just shows how much desire there is out there for children's ministry stuff.

My specialty over the years is Luther studies - it's really a love. Luther is more quoted than he is read (all the good ones are). For those of you who are interested in what Luther had to say about theology, life, faith, etc. You can click HERE. All laypeople should educate themselves on the historical theological figures. This is a great place to start.
As some of you know, I have bi-polar disorder. I'm subject to long bouts of depression throughout the year. I taken medication for that as well as anti-psychotic medication. Since being diagnosed in 1997 I have taken an interest in the relationship between mental illness and religion (church, faith, etc). Christianity Today has a special page dedicated to this - you an find it HERE.
It's a topic that is often not talked about in faith communities - maybe we should start :)
