The third week looks interesting.

And to think I-35 can be seen from my back yard . . . kind of.

A counter-culture initiative in cities along the I-35 highway is seeking to bring spiritual reformation in American culture.

For 35 days of the ”I-35: Highway of Holiness” initiative, at least 12 cities along I-35 will host 24-hour prayer rooms. The initiative is part of the Light the Highway movement and will be held Oct. 28 – Dec. 1 along the 1,500-mile length of I-35, with events from Laredo, Texas, to Duluth, Minn. – the ends of the interstate.

“We want to start to build a Highway of Holiness for God that unites our nations, from the Canadian border to the Mexican border, and eventually extends around the world,” said Cindy Jacobs, founder of Light the Highway, in a statement. Light the Highway is a movement to bring spiritual reformation to cities, then regions and finally nations.

Throughout the campaign, young people will hold “Purity Sieges” where they “lay siege” by praying at sites of impurity in their cities, such as abortion clinics and pornography stores.

Activities during the I-35 initiative also include a “Radical Evangelism” effort by Heartland School of Ministry in Irving, Texas.

A 19-year-old German woman has escaped from prison by hiding in a friend’s suitcase.

The fugitive hid inside the large case when her 17-year-old fellow inmate was released from the youth prison in northwest Germany on Friday, Lower Saxony ministry spokesman Dennis Weilmann said on Monday.

The girl simply walked out of the building with her friend concealed in her luggage, Weilmann said.

“Our staff are going to make sure they inspect big suitcases more carefully in the future,” Weilmann said.

Neither of the teenagers has since been caught. Both had been jailed for theft. The escaped prisoner had less than two weeks left to serve.
