Denae sent me this picture a few days ago with the caption, “Dada!”

I read this in Tim Keller’s book, The Reason for God:
In response to doubt about the early eye-witness testimony regarding the resurrection of Jesus, Pascal stated: “I believe those witnesses that get their throats cut.”

Watch Deepak Chopra and Bishop Carlton Pearson face-off against Mark Driscoll and Annie Lobert on ABC Nightline Face-Off.

I’ve been interested in personal productivity and Getting Things Done for a while, and have recently implemented it. So far, so good. It seems like a recurring theme among those interested in productivity regarding how to get rid of stuff on your to-do list is to either dump it or to never put it there in the first place. I like this quote from GTD (although I never, ever want to slack on parenting):
“You’d lighten up if you would just lower your standards. If you didn’t care so much about things being up to a certain level – your parenting, your school system, your team’s morale, the software code – you’d have fewer things to do.”
It does feel good to just make a conscious decision to just accept the fact that some of the things I’ve been “meaning to do” are just never going to get done. So. Be. It.

I found this picture at lifehacker. Do you think you can go a whole weekend without checking e-mail?
