Worm in Woman's Brain

Worm in Woman's Brain: In case you're looking for something else to be thankful about, here's the story of a woman who found a worm burrowed into her brain. Doctors thought she had a brain tumor, instead they found the worm. If you can stomach it, there's a video of the worm being removed.

hummm...is this the "flesh-eating" worm in hell of which Mark 9:44-48 speaks?

Could this then be an accurate use of "hell on earth" for this women?

PS: Dear reader, please excuse faulty logic above as pure jest.

Quote from the article: "Once we saw the MRI we realized this is something not good,"

I'm sorry, but the way that's stated seems comical to me.

Sensational media. I am a medical missy doc in India. This is so common that we don't even bat an eye here. It almost never needs surgery and it is not caused from eating infected pork (at least not directly). Many inaccuracies, but hey it made it more gripping.. that is what media is all about today right? (Esp. Fox)_.

Could this be the cause of the migraines?

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.
