Christmas, Bears, Bullet Points

Y'all, 

In a time of economic stress, you know what doesn't cost a thing?  Bullet points.  So lets use 'em.

• Sunday Morning Christmas Spectacular -- Practice for the Christmas concert starts tomorrow, and will actively supplant Sundy Skool for the next couple weeks.  This means that Ms. Tina needs as many of your bright, shining faces as possible.  There are Star Boy spots available, but I'm sorry: Dan already called Lucia.  
• Another Bullet Point!
• Bears/VIKINGS Game -- Ok, when I put this on the calendar, in October, there was a genuine feeling that this could actually be a game worth watching.  Things have changed.  HOWEVER, we're gonna ignore the pop-warner quality of the Bears offence and have fun anyways.  Here are the details:
• Who: All High-Leaguers, and anyone who's met a High-Leaguer.
• Where: the Almquist residence (click the event on the calendar for a map).
• When: 3pm till the game's over (6:30-7:00pm).
• Why: Even if you don't like football, we'll provide snacks, drinks, a taco smörgåsbord, and games to play once the Game gets boring to watch (a.k.a. "halftime")
• Bullet Sub-Points?!  This is too much fun.
• ALSO, I need a head-count so I know how much food to get.  Leave a comment below if you're gonna be there.  Bring your friends, your family, your parole officer (Zac), whomever.    

Ok, that should do it.  Email me any questions you may have.  I'll be at my computer all day writing a 20-page paper on the facial invalidity of Section 48 of Title 18 of the United States Code, so interruptions will be welcomed.

Special "Reflective Tape" Edition

Y'all,

We're gonna meet at 4pm tonight, instead of the usual 6pm.  People will be decorating the Church for Christmas, and this way parents who want to partake in the decorating won't have to make two trips.  High Leaguers will be posting Coat Drive fliers throughout the neighborhood, so bring your walking shoes and reflective tape.  Ok, see you soon.

Y'all,

Print off the file posted under the downloads section and bring it with you tonight.  That's all you have to do; we'll go over it all together.  See you soon.

Y'all, 


This is a reminder that your Deep Freeze applications need to be turned in to Glady this Sunday: 
      

~~YOUR DEEP FREEZE APPLICATIONS~~ 

~~NEED TO BE TURNED IN TO GLADY THIS SUNDAY~~

See, that wasn't so bad.  Just fill them out, and let them ride to Church in your pockets.  Here is Dave's Favorite Picture of the Early Part of the Afternoon.

Dan's (Usually, but not in this case) The Man

I Knew it!.  Okay, I didn't know it, but I suspected it.

To save you from completely losing faith in your justice system, I looked into one of the cases we talked about last night.  It was the case where a thief broke into a home while the owners were out of town, and got stuck in the garage for a week, surviving off dog food and/or mustard packets.  I think Dan brought it up, but that's neither here/there.  The case is urban legend, as noted at The Stella Awards website (its the Darwin Awards of lawsuits).

Unfortunately, and in Dan's defense, the site showcases a myriad of cases that are both ridiculous and true.  We'l call this one a draw.

Free Will, Moral Deteminism, and Pan Flutes

Y'all,

Tonight's talk will follow closely on the heels of last week's debate.  Last week we queried, "Should Christians vocally proselytize their faith?"  I don't want to brag, but we managed to settle an Age-Old question in under an hour.  And so, recognizing the sheer gravitas of such a brain trust, we owe it to ourselves -- to humanity --  to press onwards.

FOR TONIGHT: (A) Download the material from the downloads section.  It is a 17-miniute audio clip, and you will likely need iTunes to play it.  If you don't have iTunes then you are the last person, and NASA has been searching for you with a big telescope. (B) Print out and read the handout, and ponder the question "Do we have free will?"  Be prepared to discuss it.

Sorry about the late posting; I forgot I needed to upload the handout.  Not like everyone's busy celebrating a Bears victory or anything.  Too soon?

This is how to handle the question, "Do I  need a pan flute?"  It is unrelated to the rest of this article.
