To follow up on what not to name a church centre (from Dr. Jim) . . . how about what not to name a Christian blog? On a sidebar, the author offers one definition of a glory hole (a furnace used to make glass), but is perhaps unaware of another meaning. If you too are [...]

Have you seen this little guy yet? Apparently some couple timed a photo in a nice national park picture and a squirrel “crashed” their nice shot.
