…of Earth Man!<\/p>\n

Last Thursday and Friday, Oddwalk had the privilege of serving as emcees for the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows<\/a>‘ Earth Day celebrations with area school kids. About 900 each day came to give praise to God and marvel at God’s creation.<\/p>\n

Shannon, in the past had been Earth Man when he was emcee, so it was only natural when Orin was dubbed “The Other Guy” — it’s a bit of a long story related to the Shrine’s “World Youth Day” and you should ask us sometime. So there we were, complete with t-shirts, capes, and funny hats.<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

It turns out that it wasn’t so much “Earth Man and his faithful sidekick The Other Guy” but exactly the opposite way around. The Other Guy was extremely popular both days. Earth Man even got booed on one occasion.<\/p>\n

Praise God’s creation, and may we always work to keep it clean and healthy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
