Interview with USA Today about 'A Christian look at Twilight'

Today I was interviewed by USA Today's Maria Puente about a two-part article series I wrote some time ago about the "Twilight" movies. It was an interesting experience and we spent about an hour discussing the pros and cons of the Twilight books and movies. Maria says the interview should be out in USA Today the first week of July.

Here's part 1 of the series Maria Puente and I discussed for the USA Today article: "A Christian look at Twilight books & movies - Part 1" 

Update: Here is the USA Today article I am quoted in. You sure can't tell Maria and I spent an hour on the phone discussing my Twilight articles!

Choking on Honey: What to Do

Image
Choking on honey: What to do Honey is a thick, viscous fluid which can become trapped in a person's airway. While there are many articles written about using honey to remove obstructions from the throat, there is not much, if anything, written about what to do if someone is choking on honey. I had an experience where I was choking on honey and called the paramedics. I couldn't even speak by the time I had someone on the phone. By the time the paramedics arrived, the honey had dissolved enough for me to begin gasping for air.  The main thing is to NOT PANIC and not inhale it deeper while it is thick. Honey will slowly dissolve and thin out. Coughing helps to break it up if you can slowly suck in enough air to get a cough out.    Also see: Dr. Morgan Wills: What to do if choking on honey - Nashville Skin, Health & Beauty Examiner

'Naked and Afraid XL' and Mean Girl Cliques

Image
I just finished watching the third season of "Naked And Afraid XL." I respect these people for leaving the comfort, safety and security of home to face unknown hardships in remote and inhospitable places. I wouldn't choose to do it, so my comments should be viewed knowing I realize I could not do what these people have done. In addition, I am aware that most of the action and dialogue takes place off camera. All my impressions are compliments of a cameraman and a film editor and the scenes they chose to share. A lot happens that that I am completely unaware of. With these two disclaimers in mind, let's talk about Mean Girl Cliques on "Naked And Afraid XL." Every girl comes up against them in elementary school. They become a force to be reckoned with in junior high and have usually become more sophisticated and somewhat nicer in high school. Even boys know their wrath, but the cruelties of Mean Girls are normally reserved for other girls. Not so on...
