Practical Application?

Okay, so I'm trying to figure out the practical implications of "God speaks in a big event" from the story of Elijah at Mt. Carmel to communicate to a bunch of teenagers on Friday night. That or some sort of personal story to make it more relatable (which is SO NOT a word, but hey, it's my blog, and I can use it if I want!) to their lives. I've got some ideas, but nothing is sparking in that "that's it" manner yet... so if you have ideas... let me know!

In the News

Okay, so I have a news story to tell you. I was listening to the news on the radio this morning, as I got ready for the day, and something caught my attention.

Apparently the major issue in the morning traffic commute was a herd of buffalo on a highway between Calgary and a small town just north of the city that many, many people commute from. What other city in the world of over a million people can you still find the major traffic issue being a herd of buffalo? It cracked me up, made me chuckle internally my whole train ride into work.

In other news, I found this article about high school dropouts in New York, and the successes in helping them graduate and succeed very interesting. Check it out.
