Target, Starbucks, and Jesus Drop Names from Logos
By
Tom Davis
Target and Starbucks recently dropped their names from their logos. The Starbucks logo change reflects their belief that they are big enough to not need the name. They’ve transcended the need for letters–it’s so 20th century. Although many reactions to the Starbucks logo change have been negative, I believe this change attempts to connect to…

Dead Birds and Fish in Arkansas
By
Tom Davis
This just gets weirder and weirder. The post I wrote yesterday reported that 2,000 birds had fallen out of the sky dead as a door nail. Now, the report is over 5,000 birds and now that the autopsies are in, they definitely died from trauma. In all likelihood, internal bleeding from the fall. But still no one knows how…

Today, I’m leaving for Haiti with a few of my good friends, Jon Egan who is the lead singer for the Desperation Band and Meredith Andrews a popular Christian singer. What do we all have in common? We love orphans. We’ll be flying into the Dominican Republic then driving across the border to visit several orphanages in the outlying areas of…

We’ve all heard the nursery rhyme, “Chicken Little” where the main character is crying out that the sky is falling. Well, a real-life chicken little event occurred on Friday night, December 31, 2010. In Beebe, Arkansas, outside of Little Rock, 2,000 red-winged blackbirds fell dead from the sky. What makes this so strange is that…

I take a pilgrimage every year back through the previous year as I look forward to the new one. This is by far the most important thing I do the first week of every January. Success and failure have everything to do with how we pray, think, and act about what we want to accomplish.…

Apple and the BBC said, “We’re aware of an issue related to non-repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2,” Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said. “Customers can…
