Hero by Superchick

Those of us on the Inpop email list received a letter from Max on behalf of Superchick today. Go here to read it.
I’ve heard the song Hero quite a few times but I’ve never really listened to the whole thing. LOVE it. It’s right on. I was thinking of the “swimming buddy” concept Monday when I first heard about the Virginia Tech horror but I couldn’t put it into words but Max did. Thanks, Max!

Now go download Hero.

Seasonal Coolness, or “My Mom is Cool”

I love this new theme. I wish I had seen it sooner! Not that I’ve had time for anything extra lately!

Didn’t get my Christmas letter done. Doesn’t matter because I didn’t have time to do Christmas cards anyway. I think I’ll still send them, but next week.

I felt compelled to ask my Mom for help with the quilt because the house is going to hen. (”Hen” = A kinder, gentler exclamation which my grandfather used.) The quilt may or may not be done by late Christmas Eve, in time for Mrs. Claus and the Claus Mother In-Law to deliver it and a couple of things the nieces and nephew left behind after our family party tonight.

Read Classic Authors’ Works Online

Notice I did not say “Read Authors’ Classic Works Online”. That’s because there are more than classic works found on Literature.org - The Online Literature Library. At least I have never heard of Lucy Maud Montgomerey’s The Golden Road, for example. I’m not exactly literature literate so may that is a classic and I’m just clueless.

There’s also a free Shakespeare site. It’s called No Fear Shakespeare. It has Shakespeare’s original wording and it has a modern English translation. Golly, it’s almost like talking about Bible versions!

The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church

Today (still Sunday, the 12th, here) is the International DOP for the Persecuted Church.
