Lighter reading

I decided to catch up on U.S. Politics, and found this interesting article about a group of Christians who have a slightly different approach to the presidential campaign. With their "Jesus for President" motto, they encourage Americans to think about what it really means to follow Jesus, from a political point of view. "[Claiborne] is quick to say the call of Christ has more to do with how people live their lives on November 3 and 5 than how they vote on November 4."

And here's a news story that gave me a laugh. It's like something straight from a Disney or Pixar movie. http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/07/01/netherlands.circus/index.html?iref=mpstoryview The CNN headline reads: Giraffe gathers troops, leads great escape from circus
