Blatantly plagiarizing an idea from Caffeinated Thoughts, the posts I used to call smart links will, for the time being, be called 7 Items of Interest.  Shane, the author of Caffeinated Thoughts, does 20, but my attention span is to short.

So here is my first 7 Items of Interest.

1.  ON THE FIRST WORDS OF KIDS

Why are the first words children say momma and dadda?

Hmmm, do you think we as leaders need to be repeating ourselves?

2.  SPOTTED ON A PIECE OF TOAST

I get a kick out of God being seen in an eggplant or some such thing, but this is really funny.  An atheist seeing the big bang in toast.

3.  FANTASTIC PHOTOS

I think some these would make some great slide backgrounds.  Check out 35 Beautiful Examples of Rain Photography from Smashing Magazine.

4.  NO WONDER THEY CALL THEM CRACKBERRIES

35% of Blackberry users would pick their PDA over their spouse.  Hmmmm….this can preach a lot of ways, no?  FYI, I am in the 65….but I have never tried the Iphone.

5.  NOW THIS IS ONE UNORTHODOX BEAUTY PAGEANT…NO WAIT…UNORTHODOX WOULD BE JEWISH

Have you heard about this?  It is the nun beauty pageant.

6.  FREE JOTT ALTERNATIVES

Jott, the voice to email web app I love(ed), is now charging a fee for anything beyond their basic service.  That might still be enough, but if not check out these free Jott alternatives.

7. CHURCH SIGN OF THE DAY….SO FAR
