Mini Moo

Posted At: 7:46pm by Sandra Ostapowich

I've always thought a miniature cow would be the coolest thing to invent. 

We've got teacup pocket-dogs and itty-bitty kitties, miniature horses, relatively smaller potbelly pigs - all who can live in our homes as our beloved pets.  I even read an article recently about a blind woman who used a specially trained mini horse as a service animal since she's Muslim and they don't keep dogs. 

But mini cows...that'd be really cool.

(Earlier this evening, Isaac borrowed a notepad and made me some lists to give me some suggestions on how to do my job at church.)

Manly Men Don't Want Girly Worship

Posted At: 2:38pm by Sandra Ostapowich

LONDON – A new survey has suggested that men who go to church would like less hugging and holding hands and more singing of anthems and “proclamational” songs.

A survey of 400 readers of U.K's Sorted, a Christian magazine for men, found that 60 percent of men did not like flowers and embroidered banners in church. Around 52 percent also said they were not too keen on dancing in church either.

Mommas, Don't Let Your Daughters Grow Up to Read Twilight

Posted At: 8:51pm by Sandra Ostapowich

Here's another interesting review of the Twilight series, written by a friend of mine from back in college - Emily Hinton Dunbar, currently living in Hastings, NE.


Stephanie Meyer’s incredible popular and lucrative Twilight book series is very scary. And not on account of the vampires and werewolves. It is scary to think that the two main characters, Bella Swan (human) and Edward Cullen (vampire) are the new standard in romance to millions of teenage- and, Lord help us, tweenage girls. The series is a sexually charged though technically chaste, beauty and the beast tale in which the beast is prettier than the girl. There’s a lot of longing and heavy breathing, but no action—except the action action (fast cars, fights, superhuman feats, etc). It is no wonder it is as popular as it is; however, its subtext about teenage girls and ideal relationships is truly frightening.

Dude, where's my phone?

Posted At: 7:24pm by Sandra Ostapowich

I don't have a land line, it's just my cell.  And sometimes I lose it in my house or articles of clothing.  I feel kinda dumb IMing a friend and asking them to call me so I can find my phone. 

Here's one way to solve that dilemma - for free, AND without anyone finding out what a doofus you are!
