In the news:
Church May Finance Ministry by Selling Its Windows

Dwindling income and attendance have prompted the church to consider selling its Tiffany windows to fund its ministry.

ELIZABETH, N.J. -- At the turn of the last century, this city was a thriving industrial powerhouse and the congregation at St. John's Episcopal Church reflected the city's success.
The church's most prestigious families commissioned 10-foot-tall stained-glass windows from Louis Comfort Tiffany to adorn its massive stone walls. Today, the church's 100 or so members don't come close to filling its 700 seats. The once-hefty endowment has dwindled, and donations from the congregation cover the utilities and little else. Which leaves the windows.

My opinion is that true worship does not require elaborate or costly settings that could put a financial burden on the congregation.

K so i've basically got this art thing again. It's on shopping centres and the artist i've got is called Richard Estes (photo realism) and i have no idea what to do at all. I can basically do anything. I've got an A3 piece of watercolour paper, but I can use any materials and I have time to go get anything else like a canvas or whatever.
My teacher thinks I should be doing something with reflections.
Any ideas pls?

Now, don't get me wrong, I love Tolkien. I love the history he made for Middle-earth, and the detail he put into it, but to be honest I find reading 'The Lord of the Rings' a little tedious. His style seems a bit stilted to me, and the constant stops for poems and songs kind of drives me a little nuts. And we all know how 'exciting' the 'Silmarillion' is for so many fans! ;) So I'm wondering if I'm a bad Tolkien fan for not liking his style of writing, or if I'm not alone.

Tobias says that on September 18, 2007 humanity will experience a quantum leap in consciousness. On September 18, 2007, Tobias says that everything will be moving at such a fast rate that consciousness will no longer follow the old linear path. Instead, there will be a quantum leap in consciousness that allows for a new level of creativity, invention, scientific discovery and personal transformation. He has said that nothing in particular will happen on that day but everything after that date will have new potential to humanity.

I was just reading about the plague and how it got to Europe due to the travelers, carrying the oriental rats in their loads unknowingly. But why exactly did this happen? Was God trying revive and reform the continent? Was it just an ongoing impact of sin in history?

Here is a riddle for you brainiacs. My light-bulb went off and I've found myself in a chaos! 5 points and a pat on the back for the one who can save me.

If absence of light is darkness, then what is the absence of darkness? Light? Nothing? Darkness again? All? None?
Going outside the literal meaning of words; if the lack of light is lack of light; is lack of lack of it, is or isn’t something? Here are few possibilities I've thought of, none of it answers.

If darkness doesn’t exist and is ‘’nothing’’, then what about the ''possibility'' of the light? if the possibility of light would alter nothingness, if we can simply make darkness disappear, how can it be nothing? How can we make ‘’nothing’’ disappear? Isn't nothing already nothing? So then darkness is not ''nothing'' but it's a ''possibility'', a possibility of light. And since we can't create or disappear, then we can not consider darkness as nothing either.

However I really want to crack into the buisiness, I know A TON of other people want this too and you probably think I am like everyone else, but I want this so bad.
