Three Things New

Three things I learned/heard this past week.
1. Shia LeBeuf became a Christian while filming a movie. As a believer myself I sincerely hope this is true, but I admit skepticism because his professional reputation was in the toilet, and this does sound a little bit like jailhouse profession of faith. However, I know God works through all kinds of ways and I’ll leave it to Him to know the sincerity of Shia’s conversion.
2. Amal Alamuddin, new wife of George Clooney *gasp* changed her last name to Clooney. When I got married it never occurred to me to do otherwise, and I even kept my middle name much to the shock of my new in-laws. They assumed I would put my maiden name as my middle name. But I didn’t, and my parents didn’t expect me to.
3. The difference between a graveyard and a cemetery – the graveyard is attached to a church and a cemetery is not. I learned this bit of trivia from a tour guide on carriage horse tour in Charleston last weekend. I’m not sure I agree completely with the article I attached here, they paint a pretty dismal picture of a graveyard.
So there – I learned at least three things this week. None of them are earth shattering or life-changing, still they were interesting enough to me to take note of them. What three things did you learn this past week?
Well I guess I didn't know the difference between a graveyard and cemetery and I should have. I thought they were interchangeable.
I too had no idea about the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery. That will make for a good trivia question. When I married many moons ago, I wanted to take my wife's last name. She was totally against it, opting instead, to take my family name. Like you, she too kept her middle name.
O, by the way, thanks for keeping me in your "Inner Circle Blogs". I'm honored!
