While these stories are not technical and not DIRECTLY theological (Thanks to Rob Bell we know everything is spiritual), I had to share them.

First up is:

…a rare dolphin beating. Yes you heard me. A group of fishermen came upon a Ganges River Dolphin, “had never seen a creature like it” and beat it. They had second thoughts and tried to sell it as a rare fish, when that didn’t work, they left it on the steps of a museum. I guess they realized they were onto something just a little to late in the game.

I just want to say, who does that? Really? Its stinking 2008 people, who does that? Who finds a rare enough creature to potentially instill awe and wonder and just beats it to death? Also, know that this picture is not of that specific dolphin or one of those fisherman, I just got it on the web to be all illustrative of my message.

Second in our story is:

…a baby is thrown from a 4th floor balcony during a fire and survives. This one undoubtedly caught my attention because I have a little girl about this size. But seriously, WOAH. Can you imagine being the parents, having to throw their child to the people on the ground? I don’t know about that one. Like I said, the child survived, no word specifically on the parents, but some people were killed in the fire. I will let the pictures to the rest of the talking.
