Random fact of Architecture (by Kendal)

For some (ok, most) of you, this is probably going to be pretty boring, but I thought I'd take that chance, in hope that someone finds it terribly interesting. :)
As I was brushing up on historical architecture for my upcoming humanities exam, I discovered something I had never noticed before. You may recall that there are three styles of columns in architecture: Doric (the simplest), Ionic (slightly more ornate, with "scrolls" at the top), and Corinthian (very ornate, with a multileved base). Here is an illustration:

 

Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian                               

                

So, here is my great discovery:



 

 

This is a close-up of the coliseum in Rome.  The bottom columns are Doric, the middle ones are Ionic, and the top columns are Corinthian- I can't believe I had never noticed before! I read that this was actually a fairly common thing in Roman architecture, although it seems the Greeks kept the styles separate. Who knew?

 

(Please don't be disappointed. I thought it was pretty cool...)

The Language of Heaven... (by Kendal)

If you haven't heard the world edition of Chris Tomlin's "How Great is Our God", you have got. to. listen. Like he said on KLOVE the other night- English is not the language of heaven- worship is.

My favorite part is when the two guys are singing together in different languages...I think Chris said one is singing in Spanish and the other is singing in Portuguese- SO COOL!
