These are my favorite parts from an article about “Prostitution Day” in Amsterdam:

“It is especially interesting for women. If they learn what we do here they will realise it is not a big deal if their husbands or boyfriends want to come here.”

“This day is to help break down taboos around prostitution and to create more understanding and respect,” he said.

“People who work in the sex industry don’t get enough respect,” said Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who now runs the red-light district’s information centre.

An interesting article at the Telegraph by Philip Johnston talk about the CCTV cameras that abound in the emerging Orwellian England. I sure hope America follows suit with this insanity as we are trying to do with England’s wonderful gun control laws.

Today in church we were shown a video clip built around the audio description of Jesus, given by the late S. M. Lockridge. The video is part of a growing collection of for-free and for-fee resources available to those in ministry from Sermonspice.com. Although this particular video cost $10 if you want to use it in a public service (and well worth the price), you can view the video online for free. That’s my King also!

Kansas’ concealed-carry law took effect January 1, 2007. On January 19, two armed men burst into a gas station owned by Dean Yee. According to police, they demanded money from Yee while holding him at gunpoint. A customer inside the store, however, had a concealed-carry permit. He shouted for the robbers to drop their weapons. When they refused, he shot one suspect before the other fled. Station owner Yee feels lucky to be alive. “I would have been shot in the chest,” he told 27 News. Kansas Sen. Phil Journey, R-Haysville, added, “Hopefully this will put other criminals and thugs on notice that Kansas is a different state today than it was just 20 days ago.”
