Random Thoughts 8/21/06

• Don't forget, tomorrow is Doomsday! August 22 is an important day for Shia Muslims, some of whom connect to Armageddon. Iran's president says the 22nd will be the day he'll give his final answer on nuclear development, which is odd because Iran made a statement today that they intend to continue their nuclear work. So what happens tomorrow? We'll see.
• My boys have discovered BOZ, the Green Bear Next Door. It's not Veggietales but it seems pretty good. Who knows, it may turn out to be a favorite.
• Speaking of Veggietales, you may have heard that they went bankrupt a few years ago. It's true and you can read about Big Idea's collapse and Phil Vischer's departure from Big Idea here. It's sad but inspiring at the same time; the guy who brought us Bob the Tomato is still hard at work bringing God's message to our children.
• I just heard a good quote on the news about France's efforts (or lack thereof) in Lebanon: "It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic." Bingo.
• Next Sunday is "Friend Day" at our church. Don't forget to invite your friends and make sure you arrive early enough to meet them when they get there.
• This Friday is the draft for our Fantasy Football League. We have a trophy and twenty teams, divided into two conferences of ten each. We have our own websites and this is the fifth year we've been playing. We're in the process of changing the structure of our league so that more people can play next year. It's been a great way for guys from the church and our friends to have a lot of fun.
