I'll second that. Also Drs. Benjamin and Gill-King in the Biology department.

The Navy game? 72

Fox Sports 1 gives us the nod as one of the most awesome helmets of the postseason. http://msn.foxsports.com/college-football/story/heart-of-dallas-bowl-north-texas-unlv-mean-joe-greene-best-of-the-bowls-010114 Maybe some comments about the game will prompt them to talk more about the play, and not just the helmet? (Which does still deserve a lot of talk.)

He's up and throwing on the sidelines. I think he'll be back.

Alright, I'm in. I've been getting text message reminders from the hubby all morning. Shirt size = Small

I second Kram's suggestion of Munich and Saltzburg. Although my favorite German city is Berlin. Save money by staying on the east side, and take mass transit to get around. The city has some awesome history (although you'll find that throughout Europe) and really interesting atmosphere. But if you're going to Munich, go to Marienplatz around 7am one morning and listen to the bells and enjoy the square before it gets crowded.

My father served as a Minister of Music when I was growing up, so I've got quite a lot of experience with Sacred Harp Hymns, new hymns, and contemporary music. I think they all have their place. Those songs you call old hymns, some were originally drinking songs. Fanny Crosby (Blessed Assurance, I Am Thine oh Lord, etc) often used secular tunes. The Salvation Army did it as well. The whole point is remaining relevant in the evolving culture. Good churches are constantly trying new ways to reach the lost. I'm not saying it's all effective or completely pure in motive, but the best part is that God can use anything, regardless of how much we humans mess it up. Contemporary and traditional services both have their place because they allow people to worship in the way that best speaks to them. Some of the additional buildings that churches build seem unconventional but are designed to meet people where they are. For instance, the church we attend built a new sports complex a few years ago. It was built to serve a community need for more safe places for children to get involved in sports because all the church leagues in the area had waiting lists. The complex is free and open to the public, and while there is a small coffee bar in the main house, we added it so moms could sit and talk while watching their kids play. Church members of all ages are encouraged to go to the complex and build friendships with people who use the facilities. So it's truly an outreach ministry. All that to say that some of those buildings really do have a higher purpose and while they may not be for you, they can reach others.

We also got a call from a guy on the track and field team. We weren't home, so he left us a message, but it was very personable and sincere. I wish we'd been home to talk to him. It was a nice way to come home, and sure beats a bunch of telemarketer calls on the machine. Thanks, Athletic Department and the young man who called us.

I hate to be the board grammarian, but it should be 'You're going to score fewer points than us.' But I still like the sign.

Happy birthday THOR!

No, sperm and oocytes are gametes that contain only half of our requisite chromosomes. They are of human origin but are not human.

We can't find it either...

We had our first child about 18 months ago. At 8 weeks we heard his heartbeat. For me, at that moment he was truly alive. At 12 weeks they were able to predict gender with 97% accuracy. If a tiny human, with distinct internal organs like mine and a heartbeat like mine can be seen at 8 weeks post conception, I just don't understand the argument that life begins at birth. I personally don't believe abortion is right, but I also don't believe it's appropriate to tell someone else what is right for them. And I believe that should extend to the government as well.

How are more people not in love with Poppy's Kettle Corn? That stuff is super addictive. I also think a smaller serving option is a good ideav.

That's really going to suck when he gets out of school and on every single job application has to say that he's been convicted of a felony...
