This young Chinese girl performs Richard Clayderman's "Souvenirs d'enfance," on what looks to be a talent-search style TV show, with no fingers on her right hand. If this doesn't inspire you to quit sweating the small stuff, we're not sure what will.
The Bible is a peculiar book, and it's hard to get straight information about it. If you're one of those people with a nagging feeling that you should know more about the Bible than you do -- or even if you can recite chapter and verse (but don't know that those chapters and verses come from a 13th century archbishop of Canterbury and a 16th century Parisian, respectively) -- then these five basic things will catapult you to a new level of biblical literacy. Though I might be handing you clunky corrective eyewear instead of sexy kitten glasses, I promise that they will change the way you look at the Good Book, clarifying and focusing your understanding.
