Kareem Salama is a Muslim American country music singer.
Hear a sample of his music at his website.
If you really want to see a cute picture of him as a kid in a cowboy hat, be sure to click on the bio link.
Maisie DeVore raised money to build a swimming pool for neighborhood kids by recyclying aluminum cans.
This may be old news to some, but it was new to me. Basically he’s going to stay at the church, but not as pastor because of heart problems.
You can read the letter he wrote to the church here.
And the church’s website has an FAQ page about his new role.
In January this year, Wim Hof ran a half Marathon (21 km) above the polar circle in Finland. He wore only a pair of shorts and no shoes. The ground (snow) temperature was 35 below. In a few months time, he’ll try something similar on Everest’s north side. The expedition, led by Dutch Werner de Jong, will try to set a new world record as Wim attempts to climb parts of Everest wearing only shorts. This is not your regular stunt. Wim already has 9 world records, and has trained hard for many years to withstand cold, much like some monks do in Tibet.
Wim can actually regulate his core heat to control the temperature of his skin. Something of a medical enigma, Wim is able to withstand cold that could kill or seriously injure other people.
