A friend sent me a link to a site called Birth Verse. You put in your birth date and are given a biblical verse where the chapter and verse are the month and day of your birth.
I ended up with the following from Proverbs (NIV):
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
and he who wins souls is wise.
Unfortunately the RSV isn’t quite as happy as the NIV:
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
but lawlessness takes away lives.
Thankfully the Douay-Rheims backs up the NIV:
The fruit of the just man is a tree of life:
and he that gaineth souls, is wise.
Honoring Russell Pawlak and the work he has lead – to restore and reclaim a part of Buffalo’s history. His story shows that determination, hard work, and a step-by-step approach can win more than just the day. From today’s Buffalo News: Restoration conductor hangs up his cap at Central Terminal – Russell Pawlak steps aside after 10 years as volunteer
Ten years ago, Central Terminal was an uninhabited and dilapidated relic in danger of the wrecking ball.
Today, the 17-story art deco former train station on the East Side is still a long way from full restoration, but it has become a popular site for community and offbeat artistic events.
The surprising transformation wouldn’t have happened without Russell Pawlak, the pitchman, marketer and, some people contend, visionary who grew up on Milburn Street, in the shadow of Central Terminal.
Now, after a decade of volunteer involvement, including the last eight as president of the Central Terminal Restoration Corp., Pawlak is hanging up his conductor’s cap…
Came across an interesting musical group from the Ukraine – Hydamaky. They do a blend of Ukrainian and Carpathian folk, reggae, and punk. As one friend pointed out to me – you have to suffer a lot to make music like this. Soulful, beautiful. Enjoy.
From Cyberbrethren: A Lutheran Blog – Not a Bad Lutheran, Just a Bad Person
On another Lutheran blog site, a blogger posted his confession that he does not much like the writings of Martin Luther, the paintings of Lucas Cranach, or the music of J.S. Bach. He asked, “Does this make me a bad Lutheran?” A person responded by saying, “No, it doesn’t make you a bad Lutheran, just a bad person.” I thought this was one of the funniest quips I’ve read on a Lutheran blog site in a long time.
This is really funny. I laughed quite a bit when I read it. I just had to share it with you. It also speaks to a common failure among the faithful – an inability to recognize and honor where we come from.
Anyone want to take a shot at humorous quips for other Churches or faith groups?

My hosting service had some major problems with the servers I was hosted on. I received an E-mail from Dreamhost today stating:
Because things were so bad, we’ve actually decided to go ahead and give you a three (3) month credit instead of just one.
I must say that I appreciate that, and consider their doing this to be in-line with the kind of customer service I would expect from a hosting service. It is the responsible thing to do and they are showing accountability to and respect for those who pay for the service. Well done.
My alma mater, Canisius College, will host the New York State Veterans Oral History Program on Tuesday-Thursday May 6th, 7th, and 8th at its archives.
Former New York Governor George Pataki established the program on Veterans’ Day 2000 to preserve the story of New York’s veterans in their own words for future generations. At the time the Governor noted, “The recollections and experiences of New York’s veterans are a precious and irreplaceable resource…(the veterans’) history is our state’s history.”
War has played an important part in the lives of many alums. This project will offer the opportunity for veterans and civilians who worked in the “war effort” of any war -World War II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq wars, as well as involvement in Kosovo or the Falkland Islands-to share their memories. Participants will receive a DVD of their oral history, which will be catalogued in the Canisius Archives, as well as the New York State Military Museum & Veterans Research Center.
Michael Russert, Military Historian, New York State Museum & Veterans Research Center will conduct the interviews.
To schedule an appointment or for more information please contact Kathleen DeLaney, Archives Coordinator, at 716-888-2530.
