“Useless Friday Info”

It’s that very special time of the week when people all over our great nation complain about their thirst.  And then my phone starts to ring andI hear those words, “Where is the week’s edition of “Useless Friday Info”.

And to quench that thirst………I’m going to throw a bucket of the good stuff you’re way!

“Opossums are immune to rattlesnake venom.”

“Clocks made before 1660 had only one hand-an hour hand.”

“Frank Sinatra always carried a roll of dimes.”

“The body creates and kills 17 million red blood cells per second.”

“A snail has two pairs of tentacles on its head.  One pair is longer than the other and houses the eyes.  The shorter pair is used for smelling and feeling its way around.”

“Abraham Lincoln is the only U.S. president facing right on an American coin.”

“A ten gallon hat holds 3/4 gallon or 3 quarts.”

“The wealth of America’s John D. Rockefeller was estimated at $900 million in 1913, equivalent to $189.6 billion today.”

“Elephants trunks hold up to 1 1/2 gallons of liquid.”

“The last time a cigarette ad appeared on television was December 31, 1970.”

“Michigan law prohibits chaining an alligator to a fire hydrant.”

Three unbelieveable days

Crossroads has had the privilege of hosting Lifeway and their best selling author Jennifer Rothschild this week. 

Last night officially started three days of taping for a new Bible Study by Jennifer titled, “Me, Myself & Lies”.  We’ve been really pleased with the way things have gone so far and we have to say that we’re looking for God to continue to use Jennifer and her family in some amazing ways.  Last night as we were about to have dinner I was reminded of how when God provided us with such an amazing facility we said we wanted to make sure that it impacted the cause of Jesus around the world.  No doubt that this will happen through Jennifer and her ministry.

We had a couple of special guests to show up last night and be apart of all that was going on.  Many of you will know Kathy Troccoli who has been singing for years.  She has had an amazing impact on the lives of millions as she has shared the message through her music.  Also we had Lisa Whelchel who many of you will remember from the television series “The Facts of Life”.  Both of these ladies were included in an amazing night and from what I hear all the ladies that attended were very excited and couldn’t wait to come back over the next two days.

I’ve included a few pictures to let you see what things are looking like at Crossroads.  I know the quality is not too good but I didn’t have a flash.

Crossroads New Entrance

For those of you who read the blog and attend Crossroads, we want  you to know that our new North Greenwood entrance is open.  I’ve included a picture that I made early this morning. 

This new entrance will soon be our primary entrance.  Great things are going on around Crossroads and make sure and tell someone today!
