Hexapus

4 03 2008

HexapusThe world is sometimes a bigger place than we think. Apparently there is a new animal just discovered. It is a six legged octopus, or if you are hip with numbers, a hexapus. Octopi can loose limbs and still grow them back, but this hexapus apparently only comes with six tentacles.

Researches are reviewing notes from many pieces of historical literature from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to Sphere to corroborate evidence.



Lectio with Youth

4 03 2008

We had our first run with the Lectio Divina this last Sunday night. I meant to get pictures before hand but it just didn’t work out. We took out all the lights and added about 50 candles. The only light we had was from candles and the projector. Yes, I know that is not what they used in ancient practices, but I went with it anyway because it kept us from fumbling with books or papers. I set up the media so that it ran itself. Once it was started, no one had to direct it any more than anyone else. That way, the staff was able to be just as involved in it as the teens.

I thought it was a really great night for us. Every student said they really loved it and I got the highest praise from one of our ADD junior high boys. He said that we should do it for longer the next time. So there you have it, God’s presence trumps ADD.
