Stuff to mention:



--The wonderful Grams of Talk...to...Grams! has given me another award! Well, actually it's more of a club than an award. I've been inducted into Blogaholics Anonymous. This is one award you can feel free to give yourself, so go ahead, add the button to your sidebar if you like. As Grams says, it's fun.

--As Linda of 2nd Cup of Coffee points out today: American Idol comes back tomorrow!

--Did you get to check out the new version of Jane Austen's Persuasion on PBS? I didn't...but Carolyn of Radical Womanhood did, and she tells why she prefers the 1995 version.

--A new survey of the unchurched by LifeWay Researchis getting the attention of media and the blogosphere. Among the findings:

--78% of the "unchurched" said they would be interested in hearing more about Christianity from someone.

- When asked whether Christians they knew talked about their faith too much 71% disagreed.

Hmmm.

--A Cowboy’s Wife is having a contest on her food blog! You can win a Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer and she’ll ship anywhere so everyone is eligible!

(Wow, I would sure love to have one of those mixers!)
