Atlanta Boy Choir at the Monastery


For the past few years, we have enjoyed the Atlanta Boy Choir concert at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers. This year was no exception. The format changed this year, as the monks read scripture passages related to the birth of Jesus and the choir responded with song. The concert ended with an audience participation with The Twelve Days of Christmas. A very enjoyable evening!

Advertisements can drive you nuts !

Sometimes radio and TV commercials, or even billboards, have the opposite effect (at least with me they do)!
While watching football this past weekend, how many times did you see the fat-faced football player/actor drinking the Dr. Pepper, and acting stupid on the field? I'm not going to drink Dr. Pepper for a while.
Have you seen any Georgia Lottery commercial lately that wasn't idiotic?
I love their food and their business practices, but I'm tired of the Chic-Fil-A cow commercials. Also, stop with the misspelled words on the CFA billboards!
The holiday time brings out the worst in the jewelry store ads (although I don't mind the Tom Shane commercials - he may sound dry, but his message is okay).
All cellphone advertisements are bad!
The teasers on the local news promos drive me crazy!
I could go on and on, but it would just further elevate my BP !
