I have become in a show called ”30 Days.” It is a TV show done by Morgan Spurlock from ”Supersize Me” (you should watch it too). I watched 30 Days online at hulu.com. Here is the premise. A person lives 30 days in the shoes of someone else. To date I have seen the episodes on binge drinking, anti-aging and minimum wage. I recommend them only for mature audiences. Definitely a good opportunity for Christ and Culture.

Please join a group of worshipers from around the city as we gather at Shea’s Express on June 7th (6:30 to 8) to worship together…

Here’s a map:

I was touched by this story that I heard on NPR this morning. It’s about a guy, Julio Diaz, who was mugged by a teenager with a knife as he got off a subway in New York City. The events that happen afterwards were inspirational.

I recommend listening to the story instead of reading it. Click “Listen Now” near the top of the NPR page to hear Diaz tell the story:

Diaz replied, “Well, haven’t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”

“Yea, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.

Some Huntsville folks are putting together a relief trip for Lakeshore, MS. The trip will be 18-23Feb08. The cost is $50. See information below

This trip is being done by the Southern Baptist disaster relief group. They do a fantastic job with these types of projects. I’d be interested to know if any of you jump on this.

John Peck from the Huntsville Times wrote a 16Aug07 story entitled, “City’s trails a 20-year effort.” In it he quotes National Geographic Adventure magazine’s September 2007 edition saying that Huntsville is one of America’s “top adventure towns.”

Peck said, “National Geographic Adventure, which claims 2.3 million readers, chose Huntsville in a state-by-state survey of areas where adventure opportunities abound. The magazine hit the newsstands Tuesday. Hiking and mountain biking trails were singled out in a brief summation of Huntsville’s selection.”
