Wow, did you know Daniel was a vegetarian? NIV:

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 23:37:43 -0500

⁸ But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. ⁹ Now God had caused the official to show favor and sympathy to Daniel, ¹⁰ but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.”

¹¹ Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, ¹² ”Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. ¹³ Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” ¹⁴ So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.

¹⁵ At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. ¹⁶ So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.

Live on the Green in Nashville

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:02:14 -0500

Nashville has a great new live music initiative called “Live on the Green” where they will be featuring free concerts on the courthouse square between August and October. Check it out online at http://liveonthegreen.net or @liveonthegreen on Twitter. Here’s a clip of Mayor Karl Dean announcing this series at local radio station Lightning 100 recently:

“We are clearly music city and one of the things we need to do is embrace that as part of our identity as a city and having more live music downtown is a major goal of mine.”

Mayor Karl Dean - 7/4/2009

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

…

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
