Yesterday The TICKET was playing the heck out of a commercial for some sort of church ministry, but it caught my attention because it kept mentioning a classmate of mine from college that isn’t Matt Chandler. Regarding that friend, I remember a classmate of his saying how in a Bible class each student was telling the testimony and he was the only one that didn’t face a struggle or hit rock bottom before accepting Christ.
The deadliest school disaster in American history happen in Texas back 1937 because of a natural gas leak and killed 295 students and teachers. It was one of Walter Cronkite’s first assignments as a reporter and Adolf Hitler even sent his condolences via telegraph.
If you watched Argo you might find this CBS Evening News story about what the inside of the former U.S. Embassy in Iran looks like now.
I have a feeling years from now there will be a story about the close bond between George W. Bush and Barack Obama and it all started with that plane ride to Mandela’s memorial service.
CBS11 had attorney Jerry Loftin to add commentary to the wealthy teen drunk driving case. That guy sounded like Dr Phil and even had certain catch phrases that mad him sound like the Dr Phil of lawyers.
I think I married the one woman on Earth you doesn’t like to take pictures of her husband playing with her kids.

Random modern presidential quote, “As a matter of fact, no president should ever try to impose religion on our society. The great… the great tradition of America is one where people can worship the way they want to worship.And if they choose not to worship, you’re just as patriotic as your neighbor. That is an essential part of why we are a great nation.”
I’ve always been touched by the story of the ten Amish school girls that were shot in Pennsylvania seven years ago. People poke fun of the Amish, but they are certainly devout and true to their faith. After the shooting I remember the grandfather bringing family members in to the scene of the crime and telling them that they must not have hate in their heart for the killer and they must forgive. On the night of the killing, the family of the victims visited the killer’s mother and offered support and they even attended his funeral. How many of us ‘normal’ folk would have the heart and courage to do that? The CBS Evening News had an update on the story and the shooter’s mother continues to be touched by their act of forgiveness and visits one of the victims often.
I live the Chevy Santa commercials and so glad they brought them back another year.

Something I could name 100 of by memory alone? Numbers from 1 to 100.
Great quote on religion in America, even if you did make me go look up who said it. 🙂
