Christian Women Online is sponsoring a writing contest:
We are looking for essays that tell us how your mother, or a mother that you know has reflected the heart of our Heavenly Father in her life. The winning essay will be one that is both written well, and of most importance, one that reflects God as being the central focus of one's life.

--Is your name Elizabeth? Then you may want to mark June 28th on your calendar for a visit to Elizabeth, Illinois. They're going for a Guiness Book of World Records mention for the biggest gathering of Elizabeths. Apparently this little town was defended against an Indian attack in 1832 by several brave women named...yep...Elizabeth. (Which just happens to be my favorite female name, and the name I gave my own daughter.) Find out more here.

I thought these comments on "300" were pretty funny:
...the film ("300") takes many stylistic liberties. The most obvious one being Persian king Xerxes was not an 8-foot-tall Cirque du Soleil reject. The Spartan council was made up of men over the age of 60, with no one as young as Theron (played by 37-year-old Dominic West). And the warriors of Sparta went into battle wearing bronze armor, not just leather Speedos.

Hello Cindy!
I can't believe there's going to be a gathering of Elizabeth's for a world record... that's so funny! I know that it's one of the most popular names out there but I don't run across another Elizabeth very often. Isn't that odd?
I enjoyed those comments about 300. Incidentally I wrote a blog entry about it after I saw it, recommending it to all in desperate need of some eye candy. *meow* ;)
