Since I just spent a whole day in a crowded room with about 1000 miserable looking people, I thought I'd share with you this conversation that I had with a juror who was sitting at a table reading her bible.

The following information is from The Voice of the Martyrs media.

King Astyages raged at him. “You have perverted my own brother, my wife, and some of my children! You have disturbed the worship of our gods! The priests of Ashtaroth cry for your blood! If you do not stop preaching this Jesus and sacrifice to our gods, you shall die a most painful death!”

Thank you all for joining us this week for our carnival. We missed last week, but we are back this week with some great entries from our faithful bloggers.

One of my coworkers recently shared some information he learned from book Jasper Beckett wrote about North Korea. On August 10, 1945, a few U.S. colonels were given 30 minutes to decide the Korean border after the peninsula was taken from Japan. They decided on the 38th parallel, and the Soviets agreed. This border remained until the end of the Korean War, when a new demarcation line was drawn in 1950.
