Worst Church Art Contest!
What with all the trouble in the world and in the Church I figure it’s time for another contest. Please send digital photos or scans of the worst church art you can find. Feel free to consider art in the church as well as in bulletins, newsletters, etc. The program at my church really caught my eye today because it looked like it was printed by a computer from about 13 years ago.

Here’s the weather report for tomorrow from a local station:
Sunday Night: Mostly cloudy skies with a chance of snow after midnight. Lows: 20-28.
Monday: Chance of accumulating snow. Snowfall amounts still uncertain. Snow mainly during the morning, ending during the afternoon. Highs: 33-38.
“Snowfall amounts still uncertain?!” You mean, “I’m going to get canned if I say 1-2 inchese and it turns out to be 8-10!”
Another snow event on the way
Time for all us Metro area residents to stock up on toilet tissue, bread, and milk. This time tomorrow all of us with common sense will be home making toast while there is parade of idiots on the road turning their SUV’s into very expensive toboggans. Here’s a clue people: four wheel drive doesn’t mean four-wheel stop!
Say it isn’t so!
Amy Welborn is giving up her blog! Her reasoning is quite understandable. I’m posting it here since she promises to delete her blog later today.
I began it for a purpose, and that purpose has been fulfilled. It’s taking up too much time, and I’m experiencing a real pull to direct my energies elsewhere. I was going to put it on hiatus for Lent anyway, and now, but there is a project for which I got a strong, specific idea in early December that I really want to give some serious attention to (besides the Bible study guide), and I could be doing that in the time I blog. Thought I’d have made real progress on it by now, but I haven’t, and I need to. I have that much faith in the idea. I don’t want this one to be just one of the other good ideas that I’ve started and not been able to finish. I’m almost 43, and it’s time to get serious about another direction in my career. I don’t know what I’d do if, as has happened every time in the past, a year were to pass and I had one more lost project on my conscience, all because the pull of posting links to weird articles and posting my inconsequential thoughts was so tempting! What it is is that blogging has a weird way of both expanding and contracting your vision. You hear the experiences and insights of other people, but at the same time, the temptation is always there to just think in terms of those who making up the blogging community. I need to free up my brain and my imagination. So, this will be up for a few more hours, then…farewell to the 1600+ who come here every day. Or the 160 who come here ten times a day. Whatever! God bless.
I hope she will still be posting over at HMS!

I agree with Mark Steyn’s commentary much more.
