Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

AT LAST ...

... A TV SHOW FOR PEOPLE WITH MORE THAN ONE BRAIN CELL!

Today I'm grateful for Digital IO or whatever it's called, that makes recording things so much easier than it was with those new-fangled VRC things!!!

Because while I'm still recovering somewhere in darkest Northport, I won't be missing the first episode of what looks like being one of the most interesting new TV shows in the fall line-up.

The fact that it's hosted by my friend Dr. Michael Guillen, no stranger to CATMO and our guest preacher on Easter '05, really helps. He is a great communicator and I am sure that Where Did It Come From will be as informational as it is entertaining, because Michael has this ability to use his brilliant mind to communicate the most complex of facts in an understandable way.

We've been talking about this series whenever we have got together for almost two years now and tonight it finally kicks off. Here's some of the promo blurb -

WHERE DID IT COME FROM
Hosted by Former “Good Morning America” and
ABC News Science Correspondent Michael Guillen, PhD

The concept of the luxury high-rise apartment wasn’t born in the modern metropolis of Manhattan, Roman architects came up with the idea more than 2,000 years ago.

Long before the United States and the Soviet Union were locked in an arms race, the ancient Greeks found themselves developing increasingly powerful weapons of mass destruction to overcome their enemy's growing defenses. Our modern calendar would not be what it is today if the great Maya civilization had not created astronomical calendars by meticulously recording the movements of the sun,moon, and stars. From high-rise apartments and sports stadiums, to ship building and weapons of mass destruction and more, WHERE DID IT COME FROM? follows host Dr. Michael Guillen, former “Good Morning America” and ABC News science correspondent, around the world each week as he explores the past to find the ancient roots of modern technology.

WHERE DID IT COME FROM? – a new series -
premieres Thursday, September 7 at 8pm ET/PT on The History Channel.


Smart cookie that Michael is, he got the History Channel to ferry him all over the world to put this together and though it seems to have been a long time coming, tonight we'll discover it was well worth the wait.

By the way, if you're an early riser you can catch Michael on Fox And Friends tomorrow morning at 6.40am.
