Warning! For those who are extremely sarcastic, cheesy, have a tendency to push the limits with jokes or are really good at pushing people’s buttons…STAY OUT of Brighton, Michigan. Effective Jan. 17, 2009, there will be a law that makes it “unlawful for anyone to insult, accost, molest or otherwise annoy any person in public.”

Of course, this law is subjective and the police officers will make the call if you’re annoying or not. Let’s hope you’re not as annoying as these guys.

We will be having service today, but if you cannot make it because of the snow, please don’t worry. God still loves you. Drive carefully and stay warm!

Colson was indicted for conspiracy to cover up the Watergate scandal in 1974. Before he ended up in prison, his friend gave him a copy of Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. Colson became a born-again Christian and has started a very esteemed Prison Ministry. His full article on the Illinois governor is worth a read.

After we were all done, we were hanging out and the teachers from the Xian school did a head count. That was when they realized that one of their kids was missing. He couldn’t have been that hard to find, all 30 of the school kids were wearing the same multi-colored striped shirt. We started rushing all around the park, but he was nowhere to be found.
