KOTV had a story tonight about how the River Tax Yes people were going to have a hard road to travel to convince people outside Tulsa to vote yes for the tax. They showed a 23 year old male who had returned to Tulsa after graduating from OU. He made a statement that there was nothing exciting to do here; that there weren't any young people here. When I heard that statement, I thought of the seeker sensitive church movement. Isn't that there same claim? That the only way to get younger people in is to have programs for them, to play with and manipulate their emotions? We know there's no substance in the seeker sensitive churches; could we say the same thing about the Yes River Tax movement?

Hello Michelle
I’m writing to people who list ‘The Hardy Boys’ in the ‘Favourite Books’ section of their blogger’s profile.
I have a blog called THE BRICKS IN THE CAVE and I’m posting a chapter a day there of an illustrated adventure story - which is also called THE BRICKS IN THE CAVE (!).
When I first wrote it, I reckoned boys aged 7 - 11 would form its greatest readership. None the less, I’m hoping other people will like it too!
It can be found at

It strikes me that it would be a good idea to ask those who like The Hardy Boys if it is the kind of thing they would have enjoyed when they were younger (and whether it appeals to them at whatever age they are now!).
If you do have time to take a look at it, I would be very interested to know what you think. I have already had some thoughtful comments from Famous Five fans and your opinions would be equally helpful when I approach a publisher. (And just as useful to know if this wouldn’t even be relevant!)
I can be contacted at
bricksinthecave@googlemail.com
As well as through the blog itself.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
