I Like this Judge!

The Sound is a bit off, but the message is powerful. It takes about 6 miuntes to watch.

Special Guest Speaker

Sunday we will have as guest Don and Vera Wells. As many know, the Wells are an icon in the state of Arkansas. The thing that they are most remembered for is their work on building the camp grounds at Mountain View. Back then it was Ozark camp of Opportunity (now camp Kohoka) They will be attending Ladies Retreat over the weekend and speaking at NLR Sunday.

Pardon the boating analogy, but...

I had the privilege to attend "Boat School" on the Arkansas River this past weekend. While the pictures may not be dramatic, it was a time where those who are in the business of rescue come together to practice and learn from each other the finer points of water rescue. Any thing from a barge fire to a boating wreck to a swift water rescue were covered.
I thought after I left the classes, how much effort do I put into learning how to toss a line to lives I come in contact with who need it? I understand my role when it comes to the spiritual, I am not the Captain of the vessel only a deck hand, but I want to be trained and ready to assist whenever I am asked to respond.

Herod's Tomb Found?

[By STEVE WEIZMAN - AP]

JERUSALEM (May 8) - An Israeli archaeologist on Tuesday said he has found remnants of the tomb of King Herod, the legendary builder of ancient Jerusalem, on a flattened hilltop in the Judean Desert where the biblical monarch built a palace.

Hebrew University archaeologist Ehud Netzer said the tomb was found at Herodium, a site where he has been exploring since the 1970s. Netzer said a team of researchers found pieces of a limestone sarcophagus believed to belong to the ancient king. Although there were no bones in the container, he said the sarcophagus' location and ornate appearance indicated it is Herod's.

"It's a sarcophagus we don't just see anywhere," Netzer said at a news conference. "It is something very special." Netzer led the team, although he said he was not on the site when the sarcophagus was found. Stephen Pfann, an expert in the Second Temple period at the University of the Holy Land, called the find a "major discovery by all means," but cautioned further research is needed.

Remember Mother's Day

Next Sunday is a celebration Mom's and the memory of Mom.

Some interesting things about Mother's day.

• Mother's Day is now celebrated in many countries around the world. Australia, Mexico, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Belgium, Russia, China, Thailand, all have special celebrations to honor Mothers, but not in the same way or on the same day as the United States.
• Eve is credited with being the "Mother of All the Living," in the Bible.
• Mother Goose is one of the most popular of all children's entertainers. Her books and stories have been loved for many generations.
