Star Trek and Star Wars at Rally To Restore Sanity and/or Fear
I didn’t watch the whole rally … in fact, this was the only part. The debate was a little weak, but I still loved that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert got in an argument about Star Trek and then had R2-D2 show up! Forget the politics, that made it a win!

Caleb won an award!
At a school assembly today, Caleb won the ‘Mathematician of the Month’ award (there is one awarded per classroom)!

When did worship become expendable?
So, for the sake of debate, I will preface this with my opinion that everything we do in worship services and in our student hour on Sunday mornings is worship; we worship in our giving, in our listening and studying the Word, in our singing, our prayers, even in our fellowship.
