POPSDon't end up simply having visited this world When it is over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world. -Mary Oliver From New and Selected Poems

POPSMystery on Fifth Avenue This is such an strange tale. Imagine your architect designing a mystery into your walls and furniture for you to discover one day. It's long but worth it.

POPSEngland vs.Britain vs. UK I'm asking for help here from my friendly clippers. Is England considered a country? Is the United Kingdom considered a country? Is Northern Ireland considered a country or a province? This Wikipedia entry is confusing. The UK includes Northern Ireland, whereas Great Britain (or Britain) does not. Right? Thanks for helping me understand this better.

POPSTwitter Hall of Shame Because I live under a rock, I found many interesting things on this list. Poking around the links led me to some very good articles. I learned a lot about how companies can use Twitter to interact with their customer base, as well as ways to screw that all up.

POPSSchool policy was to swim naked The whole article is pretty interesting. I wonder what brought about the policy change? LOL. Wow. The author attended this school in the 60s. It is interesting how the men older than him seemed to have less of a problem with it all.

POPSFireproof From the movie's website (totally clip-proof, haha): As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment: "The Love Dare." Wondering if it's even worth the effort, Caleb agrees-for his father's sake more than for his marriage. When Caleb discovers the book's daily challenges are tied into his parents' newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened. While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, "How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?" When his father explains that this is the love Christ shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. And with God's help he begins to understand what it means to truly love his wife.

POPS$7 in Africa will... I can't clip the video, so please go to the main page and watch. A young mother came for help for her baby named Alikho (which means "No Hope"). She changed his name to Lelethu, which means "Jesus is our hope." Seriously, how heartbreaking that she had named her baby Alikho.

POPSCan't we all use a hug? I love the running hugs. The very best way to have joy is to give it. I know these videos have been clipped before, but I thought some Clippers might need another hug.
