::music::Please Come Home for Christmas by The Eagles on 94.1 The Sound's Holiday Station at 941thesound.com
KTSO The Sound 94.1FM tends to be my preferred station for listening at work in the mornings. In fact, just this morning, I got a helping hand from Jamal, who defected to my area from Brad's. Why? "Because he's got some grooving tunes over here!" That's right!
...sometimes, something as simple as a crazy song can make this insane world seem sane again...
I came across a very interesting article...for what it's worth. If you're ADD like me you can just read my excerpts below, but the whole thing isn't that long and is rather interesting.
Rice and Kirkpatrick were raised Roman Catholics but for much of their adulthood strayed far from their faith. She wrote erotic novels. He was president of both Paramount and Disney.
Independently, they both became born-again Christians and, eventually, a somewhat unlikely — or, as they believe, divinely ordained — pair of collaborators. At around the same time, Kirkpatrick became one of the founders of the Christian multimedia company Good News Holdings.
Good News Holdings describes itself as "advancing the kingdom of God" with an ambitious range of media endeavors, financed and supported by some of the most prominent and politically connected conservative Christian groups in the United States.
Kirkpatrick says the company will introduce a channel next year on the satellite service DirecTV. Good News Holdings plans to build a $150 million television and film studio near Boston. And in partnership with Tyndale House, the Christian publisher of the "Left Behind" series, the company will publish novels that it intends to turn into movies.
When Kirkpatrick describes the company's mission, he often quotes its chairman, George Barna. A slender 50- year-old with riveting blue eyes, Barna is a pollster and author who contends that American Christians have lost touch with the Bible.
Barna, whose studies indicate that the mass media have more influence on Christians' values than local churches do and that spiritual character is substantially formed by early adolescence, contends that deploying the power of the mass media to help save children's and teenagers' souls is a critical cultural battle that Christians must fight.
one more thing: i love having smart friends. somehow, i guess i have the feeling that having them as friends will cause some of it to rub off on me. like this excerpt from an email i recieved today:
get some sleep. or not. just get some coffee to fill your synapses with caffeine to stop the activaty of adenosine, which results in an icreased activity of the neurotransmitter dopamine or adrenaline responsible for the "caffeine kick in"=}
