I’ve been having a hard time deciding whether to post interesting links or funny things on Saturday — so I am combining them. 🙂

Here are a few things that caught my eye this week:

• Dangers Facing Over-Churched Kids and 9 Strategies For Reaching Over-Churched Kids, HT to Challies. I don’t know that “over-churched” is the right term, and I don’t think keeping them from so much church is the answer, but I do agree that they need to see the reality of a walk with Christ and not just get absorbed into the Christian “culture” with little or no real faith of their own.

• Gospel Balm for a Control Freak Like Me, HT to Diane.

• These hydrangea cupcakes are So. Cute! HT to Lizzie.

• No Knead Refrigerator Rolls look like my kind of bread. I may give them a try some time.

Then, I was cleaning out some files on an old computer that we’re going to get rid of, and found this that my oldest son sent me ages ago. I am not a cat person, but I still think these are funny:
