- This is NOT the final days of the decade!!! The decade will end on December 31, 2010 and the next decade will begin on January 1, 2011. Decades, centuries, and millennia begin with year 1, not 0, because there was no year "0" to start with. Think about it, when you count on your fingers, do you start with 0 and end with "finger number 9" or do you start with 1 and end with 10?
- Bible reading plans online (especially for you iPhone users) here.
- Read humorist Dave Barry here. [Thanks, Mike]
- Why does no one America care that Iranians are on the streets protesting (and dying) for democracy? We're steadily forfeiting our rights and freedoms, perhaps we'll soon pass them going the other way.
- Please come to our youth lock-in on New Year's Eve. We just got word that one of the larger groups canceled on us, so there's plenty of room and plenty of fun!
- My family is love with our new kitty, Mellie. She's a sweetheart and healthy too!

Woops, you're welcome.

A a decade is a period of ten years. So every year begins a NEW decade or ends the OLD decade.

Another problem is calling the 70s a decade (for example) in reference to 1970-1970 since 1970 is actually in the 1961-1970 decade (unless you are referring to 1961-1970 of course).
