Day's tally

[crowdog66]

Four finished pages, and almost two pages of true color flats on Hardy Boys. Not bad, considering that I had a meeting interrupt the day and that I'm feeling fairly under the weather with depression.

Came across this gem of news on Witchvox.com, at http://www.witchvox.com/wren/wn_detail.html?id=14076:

Ala. Church Youth Swallow Live Goldfish
Author: AP   Source: ABC News

The First Assembly of God Church has a Fear Factor ministry that lets youths swallow live goldfish in order to teach them about fear.

"We need to be realistic about what the Bible says about fear and not be afraid to share our faith in school," youth minister Anthony Martin told the TimesDaily in a story Thursday. "We can't let that fear rule our lives."

Martin said the ministry's participants are between the ages of 14 and 21 and that they had to get their parents to sign a waiver to be involved.

In teaching the lesson about fear, participants in last week's round were asked to pull a number between one and three from a bowl that would indicate how many live Comet goldfish would be swallowed.

You can access the full article at the link above, as well as a message board dedicated to the subject.

I just find it a tad ironic, since it's people like this that sometimes accuse us Pagans of abusing animals...

Okay. Off to bed.
