1. Choosing Home launches their new site on June 1st with a housewarming party. To participate, go here to find the details for the Wednesday, May 25th deadline.

2. I won the Challies giveaway for this month, and nobody asked me for an acceptance speech. The prizes were Amazing Grace: The History & Theology of Calvinism DVD and the Luther DVD. My DVD collection just grew from 0 to 2. The giveaway was courtesy Monergism Books. If you’re sad you didn’t win, you can buy yourself a consolation prize there [end commercial]. Winning this contest makes up for missing our church’s annual ornament exchange last year.

Speaking of acceptance speaches, Dr. Mike forgets to name the little people who don’t delete Dr. Mike’s witty comments on their humble blogs. Us little people are the reason he won a Warnie Award. I just know it. Congratulations, Dr. Mike!

3. Thanks for all the what-to-do-with-a-sole-sock ideas. My soul is thankful to those who gave me permission to just pitch them. (Actually, they’ll go to my husband’s wood-staining rag pile.) Freedom! Now, what to do with the Tupperware type stuff with missing lids…

4. My feminist friend, Alice, has started a new site Evangelical Update. The stated purpose of her site is to be a “resource for lefties who want to understand Christian Evangelicals.” Stop by and say, “Hello.” Long-time readers will remember her as “Not Crunchy” and as a great lady to have a conversation with.

[Update: Speaking of conversations, Rev. Ed posts a conversation with Alice here. This is a good first post to read if you're unfamiliar with the saga.]

5. Real post to follow later.
