I was reading through Christianity Today's Top Ten Stories of 2007 earlier today. The editors have listed the 10 events, people or debates of the last year that have shaped us.
1. Taliban takes Korean short-term mission team hostage, killing two.
2. Atheism tops the bestseller charts
3. Presidential campaigns start early, with some faith surprises
4. Ruth Graham promoted to glory
5. Anglican Communion fractures over Scripture, homosexuality
6. Three Christians tortured and killed in eastern Turkey
7. Lions of the Religious Right pass away
8. Francis Beckwith returns to Catholicism
9. Campaign to oust NAE’s Richard Cizik fails
10. Supreme Court upholds 2003 federal partial-birth abortion ban
Did they botch the list? What would you have included in the top ten? Leave a comment with your suggestion.

Now this truly brings new meaning for me to the message of 'The Potter' in the book of Jeremiah, Ch 18. I blogged about going through my family's garage yesterday and yet another thing I found was beautiful (HA!) pottery that I made years ago in middle school. I made a candle holder, bowl and an ashtray? The funniest piece of all is a plaque that I made for myself that reads "Great Heroic Ability award presented to Terrace Crawford," which now serves as a base for the bowl. Now THAT is funny folks!

I spent some time yesterday going through the family garage to see what I had "packed away." Among the most interesting things were old yearbooks, old clothes (which are now in the garbage), a Steven Curtis Chapman life-size cardboard cutout, old Wrestling paraphernalia (I'm still a fan, but may sell the stuff) and an old report card (almost all A's and B's! - pictured on right - and a few E's and S's, which is the extreme opposite, I believe, by today's grade system).
I thought it was hilarious to see the teacher's comments on the back, especially the "Oh no! What a terrible fall in Science!" I thought Math was my weakest subject... but every comment is in regards to Science!
