Amatuer Christian Wrestling

Here’s a unique ministry for kids, Amatuer Christian Wrestling, or better known as Wrestling for Greater Gold.

From the Wichita Eagle:

The members of Greater Gold Wrestling Club will do a double-leg takedown on opponents, press them in a bear hug and muscle on a headlock — all in the name of Jesus Christ. Greater Gold is one of about 180 USA Wrestling-Kansas youth clubs that teach the sport to children ages 5 to 17. But it’s the only faith-based club not affiliated with a church or religious school, said Mike Juby, state chairman of the organization.

The physical and spiritual Deep Ellum

Michael Tate commented the other day on KERA 90.1 FM on the future of Deep Ellum.

When we say “Deep Ellum” we’re really talking about two different yet related things: there’s the Deep Ellum neighborhood, a physical part of Dallas; and then there’s a Deep Ellum spirit, an essence that transcended the streets and storefronts.

Tate predicts the area will evolve into a new McKinney or Uptown district in the future.

Gary Knell, President and CEO of Sesame Workshop was on KERA’s Talk Show (later changed to Think with Krys Boyd) today at noon.

I only caught the tail-end of the program, but it sounded like an interesting show on one of my favorite shows growing up.

You should be able to catch a podcast of the show online.
