We're in the middle of finals week at the UofA. This is a good time of year in campus ministry. The schedule slows down and time is given to hanging out with students and making plans for the summer and next fall. So rather than some deep spiritual thoughts, here are a few things I've read lately ....
************
Just when you thought our world couldn't get any more strange, here is an article entitled, "The Silent Scream of the Asparagus." It is about the Swiss government's efforts to pass laws protecting the rights of plants.
************
Here is Time's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the world. I was a little disappointed to find that I knew less than a third of them. How many names do you recognize?
************
Here is an interesting article on what Muslims in other parts of the world think about the west. Gallup did a poll in 35 Muslim countries that explored their beliefs and attitudes about us. It is an interesting read.
************
Finally, read about the man who attached over 100 helium balloons to his lawn chair and flew almost 200 miles. I'm not sure if that is crazy or brave.
