Donating for Money

Searing pain, it lasts about 0.002 seconds, I tell myself to man up, don’t be a baby. Dammit.  I think of my wife who’s given birth to three kids, two without any epidural, and my arm only hurts more.  For a split second that seems to go slowly by, it’s still hurting.  What the hell’s wrong with me?  Come on, there’s a little 90-pound, pink-haird punk rock girl, a grandma with a grandma blanket…

Lochte Loses a Million Bucks

Lochte Loses a Million Bucks

What happens when you travel to another country, falsely accuse its citizens of armed robbery, and then lie about it publicly on every media outlet possible?  If you’re Ryan Lochte, your deep-pocketed sponsors rip up the checks and stop paying you.

And if you’re Lochte, that ends up taking one day to lose about $1 million bucks.  So sad that he let it come to this, and what’s crazier is that…

Smell Like a Chicken...YES!

Smell Like a Chicken…YES!

Randomness for your Monday, courtesy of http://bit.ly/2bKigcZ…

Did you see the latest craziness coming from KFC?  How badly are they trying to get us to buy their chicken, and WHY would anybody want to smell like fried chicken all over their body?

But you may want to consider going ahead and slathering this all over your body, because at least it serves as sunblock.  But before you do,…

SOTD: Isaiah 53:5

This one hit me hard and made me thankful for all God has done for me.  He gave me Jesus, and he gave all of us Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Have a great rest of your day!

Second Scripture of the Day

Second Scripture of the Day

Normally it’s just one for the day, but I guess I’m in the need for a little more peace from up above.  So I found another one that really hit me and brought me some extra joy…

“Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.”

1 Peter 5:10 AMP

Have a very wonderful day,

SOTD: 2 Chronicles 7:15

SOTD: 2 Chronicles 7:15

Scripture of the Day

Coming from second Chronicles, I loved today’s verse because it called me to be aware of the blessings around me, and that prayer is one of those blessings.  Prayer can be simple and direct and it has more of an impact this way.

“Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.”

2 Chronicles 7:15

Bernie's 38 Year-Old Wife's Mom Kidnapped???

Bernie’s 38 Year-Old Wife’s Mom Kidnapped???

What a strange headline to read today coming from an already turbulent part of the world.  As crime issues continue in Rio de Janeiro with the Summer Olympic Games nearing, signs around the densely-populated city speak of unsafe conditions for visitors at a time when Rio is hanging on to hope of being a great host city.

And now the new story coming out of Brazil is that wife of Bernie…

Terrifying Video of the Power of Lightning This is just an absolutely insane and scary video of just how deadly lightning can be.  Take a look at this video out of Chicago and think about your parents always telling you to never hide under a tree in a storm. Yeah, that's really good advice right about now...

Today's Scripture - Hebrews 10:24

Today’s Scripture – Hebrews 10:24

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”

I should have started my day with this one instead of almost being completely through the work day.  Hope this helps send love out to all those in the world – we need it and we need to share in it.

Wishing you a great day – and night.

Lewis Hamilton's Momentum and Curb Sensors - F1

Lewis Hamilton’s Momentum and Curb Sensors – F1

Lewis Hamilton continues his upward climb against Nico Rosberg in the World Championship yesterday at the GP of Hungary.  He’s got the lead now and wrestling it away from him is going to be a tough task.

Hamilton got the lead at the beginning of the race and was much too dominant to let Rosberg back into the picture.  He trailed by 1 point going into the weekend and now leads by 6 against a…

Holly Holm’s Loss – What’s Next?

Jackson Wink MMA took another crushing blow with Holly Holm’s loss at UFC on Fox in Chicago this past weekend.  Valentina Shevchenko bounced up from a first round knockdown by Holm, who connected on a ferociously fast left-right-left of punches that never really surfaced again for the duration of the fight.
