Christ's Church for Brooklyn, our church plant, will take part in the Worship in the Spirit of Justice service in Washington D.C. on July 10. We will worship near the White House with other Christians from around the nation. Nope, we're not interesting in a constitutional amendment on homosexuality or the overturning of Roe v Wade but we will be calling on President Bush "to provide moral leadership regarding Darfur. We will recall President Clinton’s words about our failure to intervene in Rwanda eleven years ago; we will challenge President Bush not to let the genocide in Darfur continue on his watch." Are you even aware of what's happening in the Darfur region of Sudan? I wasn't until a while ago so check out this site for what's going on over there. If we are going to say that Sadaam was bad for Iraq and its people then we better be ready to step up and say something about the hundreds of thousands that are being killed in Darfur.

Can anyone stop Mo Rivera. He's the closer for the New York Yankees and while the Yanks have struggled this season, Mo has not. His ERA is 0.91. Teams have not scored a run on him in his last 18 appearances. There is nothing like him coming out of the bullpen in the top of the ninth at Yankee Stadium. The crowd goes wild at the sound of Metallica's Enter the Sandman.

Laura just finished her first William Faulkner book. She is partaking in Oprah's Book Club this summer. They are reading three Faulkner books. Laura just finished the first, As I Lay Dying. An exert from this magnificent and monumental work:
In a strange room you must empty yourself for sleep. And before you are emptied for sleep, what are you. And when you are emptied for sleep, you are not. And when you are filled with sleep, you never were. I dont know what I am. I dont know if I am or not.
