1996 McDonalds Hamburger
I teach a workshop titled Healthy Choices for Children. It’s a class for parents seeking solutions to how to improve the way they eat. It’s about the alternative food market, organics, and the top ten food additives to avoid and why, menu planning and more. It’s a 3 session fabulously informative interactive class.
Below is my absolutely favorite prop.
People are always astounded when I share this.
I have used this as show and tell for a very long time.
This is a hamburger from McDonalds that I purchased in 1996.
That was 12 years ago.
Note that it looks exactly like it did the very day I bought it.
Times Are Tough
Jersey Sunday
 FLINT, Michigan — There were jerseys and gym shoes and chants for their favorite teams. And the congregation shared high-fives during the sermon as if their team had scored a winning touchdown. This was no normal Sunday service at Flint’s Church Without Walls Ministries, 6202 Dupont St., as sports gear replaced fancy hats and tailored suits.

This was no normal Sunday service at Flint’s Church Without Walls Ministries, 6202 Dupont St., as sports gear replaced fancy hats and tailored suits.
This was Jersey Sunday, an effort to relax the normal routine, lure young people to church and address the violence hitting the congregation’s northwest Flint neighborhood.
Churchgoers were encouraged to wear sports jerseys, and they did, showcasing Flint Northwestern Academy, Carman-Ainsworth High School and other local schools, as well as teams in the National Basketball Association and National Football League.
Sunday’s service drew about 100 adults and children, a healthy increase over typical attendance at this time of year, officials said.
