Ash Wednesday and Lent
http://adam4d.com/mtd/ Very interesting analysis of the modern church. I agree that much of what you see in a lot of modern Christian churches doesn't look like what you'd expect to see Jesus leading if he were here today.

I’ve got those voting booth blues
Every two years about this time of the year I wonder which is more dangerous: not voting or uninformed voting? Where are the programs in September/October to objectively inform voters of the options that they'll have when they are "in the booth" in November?

Their captors walk up and down the line – picking them seemingly at random and tapping them on the shoulder – ‘You, you, you and you… come with me’.
In the back of a warehouse truck, they are driven for miles across the scorching Nevada desert until they reach a hotel. There, they are forced to have sex with up to 25 men one after the other.
This was life for Korean-born American Chong Kim who, at 19 years old, was sold as a domestic sex slave in 1994 to Russian gangsters and held captive for more than two years.
