KarmaTube offers an inspirational short film about two challenged athletes, one American, one Ghanian, and how their paths cross in improbable ways to mutual benefit. You might want to have a tissue handy while you watch. Gives each of us even more reasons to be thankful this season!
Just in case you missed the Facebook update. Copenhagen will dominate a few of the upcoming episodes.
Don't want to miss stuff like that. My Facebook page is waiting for you:)
My cycling team mate Dan Cole posted a text about Darwin today (here) and referenced an interesting article in Science (here) that highlights the differences of how evolution and the creation according to Genesis is viewed in the U.S. vs countries such as Sweden.
Per the article over 80% in Sweden accepts the evolution theory and only 40% in the United States (20% unsure). Read the article - it's very interesting and confirms many of my own observations of the "subtle" differences of living in the U.S. vs. Sweden. For example, I may be wrong but I don't think there has ever been a political party in Sweden that used creationism as a part of a political platform as a major party has done in the U.S. This also reminds me about when one my class mates in high school in Sweden answered an exam question with references to the creation when the science teacher was looking for the evolution theory. We did learn about the creation in our religion class as well, and it was actually taught simultaneously with the science class. I was fortunate to get at least somewhat balanced and informed view. I hope this also will be the case for the children in the future. Religion, politics, and science are all important, but I'm of the opinion that they at least in the educational system should be taught independently from each other and without external pressures and agendas."Thou awakest us to delight in thy praise; for thou madest us for thyself, and our heart is restless, until it repose in thee."
Book I, 1 of St. Augustine's "Confessions" "Therefore it says, 'Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.'" The Apostle Paul in the Letter to the Ephesians (5:14)Is it bad that I'm already on my 5th bottle of Glögg and it's not even December?? There is a store close by that recently started to sell alocholfree glögg. I was super excited but I noticed quickly by the dust on them that it was only me who bought it. So I had to do something & the solution is that I now support buy all the bottles on the shelf everytime I go to there. It works, but I'm starting to run out of room at home, so if you are in the neigbourhood please come in for some hot glögg.
