• Clapping 5 times in the clap clap clap-clap-clap rhythm in a room full of kids will get their attention, and they will repeat it adoringly.
• Phil Wickham wrote Great Things because the church he was the worship leader of, Harvest Christian Fellowship, was needing more upbeat songs.
• The British pound is the oldest currency still in use today.
• There’s such a thing as Geographic Tongue, where inflamed areas on the surface of the tongue can take on a map-like appearance. Marcia experience this recently on her tongue, and it does look curiously geographic.
• The boys allow me a little lenience with taking photos, but only to the point where it impacts their play time. Then they start heckling me as to how long it’s taking me to take their photos.
