COMPLETELY off topic, but something that just amazed me: did you know that you can catch Hep-C from dried blood that's up to seven days old?!?!?!?!

I'm a geriatric counselor, and I really don't like to use gloves (the human touch & all) with my clients, but after hearing this, I'm ready to wear a haz-mat suit for my next nursing home visit!!

On Topic

They showed news clips tonight from the Sago Baptist Church, and they were holding a memorial service. I expected all sorts of sad, dirge-type songs, but they were really positive. I would hate to have someone lose their faith due to something out of their control.

I also didn't realize how close to Philippi this was. The junior- and senior-high kids at my church work year round to raise money to help the truly poor of this area. They then take 2-week turns there, cleaning for older people, mending fences and stuff like that. It's really great to see such young people giving of themselves like that!
