I lived in Des Moines for about five months with a college friend of mine while I was engaged. While I was there my friend and I attended Lutheran Church of Hope off and on. I came across two videos they posted on facebook from their Easter service last weekend, and I wanted to share them with you (can't embed them, so I have to make you click on the links).
The first is probably my new favorite video/song, and you can check it out HERE.
The second is of Simon Estes, a world-renowned singer, performing one of my long-time favorites, "Were You There?"

Colin the Complainer
One of my favorite sports radio personalities is Colin Cowherd. After baseball's opening day a couple of weeks ago, he did a segment ridiculing the sport for taking itself too seriously. Opening Day is like a national holiday for sports fans, even though sometimes the weather is uncooperative. A couple of quotes from Colin:
"It makes no sense to take your kid to a Yankee game, drop $350 for tickets, and it's freezing. It's just bad business."
"Why should I have to sit in 35-degree weather?"
Even though I'm a big fan of Colin, this is one of those times when he's being completely stupid. First of all, any business that can charge you $350 for an outdoor event in freezing weather and SELL OUT should be considered GOOD business, no? If there were 25 people there, sure, bad business. Second of all, complaining about how you "have to" sit in 35-degree weather is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard of. No one has ever held a gun to Colin's head and demanded that he pay for tickets to a sporting event and then attend it. No one. C'mon, Colin. Isn't it like being a frequent customer at McDonald's and complaining about how bad their food is? The solution is simple: STOP EATING IT!

What on earth for?
Someone clipped the following comic strip from the newspaper and left it sitting on my desk at work. It makes me think I talk about my lack of enthusiasm for running more often than I thought.
