'Give Us a Shot': N.C. Church Hands Out Shot Glasses at Bars

Sunday , January 13, 2008
CHARLOTTE, N.C.  —

To get people to attend his new church campus, Robbie McLaughlin is sending his message out to where the people are.

Next Friday, staffers from Next Level Church of Matthews will go to bars in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte to hand out shot glasses which ask patrons to "give us a shot" and bear the slogan, "Real church for real people."

The idea is to draw people to the Ballantyne campus, which opens next month.

McLaughlin is the pastor, and said he is confident that it will be controversial, but he said the goal is not necessarily to impress people who already go to church. He said it's to impress people who don't.

Next Level is a nontraditional church that encourages members to dress casually and snack on coffee and doughnuts during services.

McLaughlin said the idea has caught on, and in two years, the church has grown from a handful of members to more than 700.

Hey, SlingSlaw - any thoughts on good choral music to accompany Dunkin' Donuts?

Guess I'd better turn on the television and find out about this major snow storm that was supposed to materialize overnight.  Is it still on the way?  It certainly ain't here yet.  This "alarmist" trend in weather reporting is so annoying!

"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"

Observation:

If you don't recall the plot details from T-II, you can get a bit lost. They attempt to fill in some backstory but it barely succeeds.

It was fun to watch, however.

The special effects never worked for me even when I was a kid. Godzilla and friends were always men in costumes running through toy cities. Them were laughable and non scarey.

Then there are the films with regular size animals placed inside toy size sets like Nightof the Lepus. (The only reason I saw it was its stars were Janet Leigh and Deforest Kelly

There was a Jungle ant movie from the 50', with Charlton Heston and Eleanor Parker, about ants cutting a swath thru south American. These ants were so smart that when Chuck put a moat around his hacienda, they chewed leaves off the trees and floated over the moat.I remember it also because the alter boys from the parish were on vacation and this was the movie night movie, ideal for 50-60- screaming adolescents.

TOD:

I don't remember any scary insects but "The Birds" still gives me the creeps and the leeches clinging to poor Bogart in "The African Queen" are certainly cringe-worthy!

On the other hand:

The insect-oid larva in Five Million Years to Earth (AKA Quatermass and the Pit - 1967) are pretty creepy.

Which makes today different, how?

I was all prepared for 5 to 6 inches of snow this morning. When I went to bed last night it was raining and all the weather reports said that was a precursor to the expected bad snowstorm. I put out my Wellies and a thermal undershirt to wear under my flanned shirt and jeans and I had my real winter coat with the hood and the big scarf. I got up at 5:30, looked out the window and saw...nothing. The rain had stopped and the streets were damp but that was all. Now I'm not wearing my Wellies, just tennis shoes, a flanned shirt and jeans. It's almost 40 degrees and no sign of snow. It is supposed to get colder this week but who knows what will really happen.
