Misc. blurbs...

• I was watching the Today show the other day before going to work. The topic was "secrets." Apparently some guy has written a book about America's secrets. They also have a website, http://www.postsecret.com/, with secrets that people have shared. It's rather humorous. So what do you think is the #1 secret Americans keep? Would you believe, peeing in the shower!? I would have never guessed that one!

• While watching our local news this morning, they had on Hunter Smith. If you're not an Indianapolis Colts fan, you might not know that Hunter Smith is the kicker for the Colts. Anyway, he was on with a new CD he produced called Connersvine. It's a contemporary Christian CD. I thought that was pretty cool. Two thumbs for positive role models for our kids!

• I had to share this e-mail I got from my sister-in-law today. She writes, "This morning, I was waiting in the Starbuck's drive-thru to get my morning drink. Usually, I'd just order a tall or grande, but since we were up most of the night with Owen, I needed something more powerful. So, I order a venti drink, along with a bagel since I was running late this morning. It's a long line, but by the time I get up to the window, the barista tells me that the person in the car in front of me just paid for my whole order. I have absolutely no idea who it was...I don't think I work with her and honestly, I wasn't even paying attention to the car in front of me. Anyway, it absolutely made my day and made me think that such a simple act could make someone else's day too. So, next time I'm in a drive thru, I'm going to do the same. Just a neat way to make someones day." How cool! That's true, the simplest acts of kindness can mean so much! You may never know how a simple word, action, card, prayer can have an impact on someone else.
