Retirement

Hmm, should we officially retire this blog?

There seems to not be much activity anymore...

But there definitely seems to be activity in the

weather for the next 10 days...RAIN!

Spring (I WISH!)

I wish I could claim that these were from my yard, but alas, a friend from work so kindly brought them over. They are the only "spring" I have so far considering everything else is at this stage...

I sooo miss the South....

Hillsong

First Wednesdays at Church of the Highlands are always worship nights. There was a rumor that Darlene from Hillsong would be leading worship, so you can imagine our delight when the Hillsong band showed up for two hours of praise and worship last night! They are playing in Atlanta Monday, so it's pretty awesome that they were able to swoop down to little old Birmingham, AL and treat us...

First Underground Masterplan

Someone awesome told me about this, and I wanted to share the news...

Apparently Helsinki, the recently announced World Design Capital for 2012, is to have the world's first underground city plan. The majority of the Finnish capital's centre can already be accessed through various underground links, and there are already a surprising amount of existing venues and utilities. These include central bus stations, which are located below street level and high-energy consuming data centers. Apparently the city has already over 9 million square meters of underground spaces!
With, as it seems, more to come....

New In Town

A Restaurant called "Mix." Sleek white interiors, a huge selection of breads and pastries, it's quickly becoming a favorite in Birmingham...

Cursive writing anyone?

Inspired

Initiated by Andrew and Lydia Thomson, a creative small group has turned into a free-for-all Bham gathering that is now hosted at SC headquarters. We meet about once every other month on a Thursday and share anything we get inspired about: Inspiration Thursday. The people that come now have no idea it was originally a COH small group. And that's what I like about it...

Good crowd:
