My brother Luke has a friend, Thomas, in Germany who just started a BLOG. Luke forwarded to me the link to it, but translated in English. That was humorous enough, but I noticed in the sidebar that "Luke and Jen" translated to "Hatch and Jen".
Anyhoo, upon clicking that link I found this hilarious translation:
I like of poison...
But, I must admit, I like cake A plumb bob more!!!
I'm telling you, I was laughing so hard when I first saw this, I nearly peed myself.

Small world
I joined (okay I crashed) brunch with my parents, a couple from their church and the guest speaker that attended their church today. There seemed to be a lot of chat about Belleville (where I've been once, briefly) and the churches there. I remembered then, that the couple my parents have recently gotten to know are from the Belleville area.
Flash back to August 2005, when I was in Belleville area, I asked this Paul guy where to go to church there, since it's his hood. He told me the name of a church, which I didn't make it to since I had to pack up my campsite at the campground he told me about and make it to my daughter's soccer game, but he told me he was singing that weekend if I did make it.
Flash forward a little to where Paul confessed to me that all didn't go so well with the singing as he had a technical malfunction at the junction.
Today, I discovered that said couple, Sharon and Harry Hitchin (sp?) not only knew Paul, but they told me what a wonderful singer he is (I can confirm this as I heard him with the Chaps), but they mentioned the last time they heard him sing and the techincal issues that plagued.
Confirmation that God's world is small and yet overall is so big.

Change
Why is it that we, as a huge generality, are so afraid of change? We are so comfortable in our present surroundings and situations, that we're not at all interested in rocking the boat.
Consider me and my job. I work as a receptionist in an accounting firm. I love talking to people daily, so you would think all is tickety boo, but it really isn't. This isn't a job that leaves me feeling fulfilled at the end of day nor does it make me feel financially fulfilled, but that's another story.
So, I'm considering going to school . . . again! Problem is, I'm afraid to upset my comfortable (at least not uncomfortable) life. I'm so afraid of the unknown that I'm not sure I'll take the leap of faith.
Please pray with me that God will make His path known. I believe that He has made it clear that He will not provide another job unless I get some more education, but I don't know if that means He wants me to remain in my present job.
HELP!!!

Theme song from the movie "Babe"
There's a catchy melody which is repeated throughout the movie Babe. I've always liked it very much. Yesterday, on my classical radio station that I've been listening to online at work I heard the melody done with organ and a brass fanfare.
My question, if anyone has the answer, is whether this tune was stolen for Babe or whether what I heard yesterday was based on the movie, i.e. which came first the tune or Babe?
