VeggieTales: Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men
On March 6th, Robin Good and His Not-So-Merry Men will be taking on the rich and powerful in the town of Bethlingham.
The unblinking Robin Good (aka Larry the Cucumber) and his band of merry men help the people of Bethlingham by fundraising from the rich and giving to the poor. When the greedy Prince John begins stealing the townspeople's hams, donations go down so Robin's band decides to give robbing from the rich a try. They get caught and poor Robin has to rescue his friends and restore hope to the town, all while working through his own sense of hurt.
Kids will learn about faith, friendship and strength in this classic tale.

2012 GRAMMY Awards Tonight
Tonight, the nominees for the 2012 GRAMMY Awards will find out who won. With the new, slimmed down categories, Christian rock, rap, southern Gospel, country and bluegrass all got crammed into a Contemporary Christian listing. While this move didn't delete them (like Traditional Gospel and Contemporary R&B Gospel), it did effectively remove them from the running.
Congrats to Brandon Heath and Chris Tomlin. They both got three nominations. Other artists with more than one nod were Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary - they both walked away with two.
For those artists and bands that were too hard, too country or too anything else to fit into the "Contemporary" mold, you have my condolences.
