Freedom Bid in Floating '51 Chevy Truck | Reuters | Latest Financial News / Full News Coverage:

"But no one remembers anyone attempting the 90-mile crossing of the Florida Straits in a floating flatbed truck with 55-gallon (250-litre) drums strapped to its sides, tires still in place, a propeller attached to its drive shaft and a driver behind the wheel."

I laughed hysterically when I saw this on the countdown tonight. Two things I was sad about:

1. The fact that they blew the Chevy up at the end and sank it to the bottom (saw it on the TV)
2. The fact that one of the most creative attempts to get out of Cuba ever, and they had to go back to Cuba. It is too bad they could not have made an exception in this case.

Headline news from Sky News - BURGERS ARE 'DEVIL'S FOOD':

"'And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so man would live a long and healthy life,' the article reads.

'But Satan created MacDonald's (sic). And MacDonald's brought forth the double cheeseburger. And MacDonald's said to Man, `You want fries with that?'

And Man said, `Supersize them', and Man gained pounds.'"

Love it... too bad people can not take it in the manner that the vicar pulished it ment. Truth with a little bit of humor.

"Hold Up!" : Articles : HEARTLIGHT® Magazine:

"We had driven for 6 or 7 hours on all sorts of highway surfaces. Some of them were smooth and uncluttered. Some of them were full of cracks, holes, lane closures, and traffic re-routing. To my utter amazement, however, we reached the best surface of the day -- freshly resurfaced, perfectly striped, and in perfect condition. There was only one noticeable problem with the surface; we had to drive 20 miles with one lane closed and the speed limit reduced by 20 mph for no apparent reason. There was even a highway patrolman using radar to stop folks who fudged on the speed limit! Traffic backed up as the trucks had a hard time keeping up speed on the hills and all of us had to drive well below what should have been the legal speed limit on the best paved, striped, and shouldered highway of the 1100 mile trip! "

Love it and the comparison to us Christians.

One day when eating lunch with my son Carlos, then an adolescent, I asked him how it was that he was able to maintain his healthy self-esteem. He said he knew he was a good artist, and that one thing kept his self-esteem untouched.

Why is it so hard to find the one thing that we are good at.

CNN.com - Study: Kansas is flatter than pancake - Jul. 21, 2003
Your tax dollars at work. Did we really need to know that Kansas is flat as a pancake.

Vanessa Bryant shouldn’t stand by her man:

" Again, adultery is going to be Bryant’s defense, so his attorneys need Vanessa to go along with it, saying she supports him. Perhaps that’s why he was on the stage, that’s why a press statement by her was released."

You know people who are not Christians should not write about things Christian. Kobe asked forgiveness of his wife and God. To me that is all that matters. Why is this jerk making like this is a big show. She believes in her man, her fallen man, and is forgiving him, and helping him. Was she a victim - YES! Will she stay a victim - NO! She is doing what she can to help herself - forgivness, and to help her man. Did Kobe assult the woman, I do not know, but she has chosen to forgive him, and is standing by him. I think it is great that she is standing by him and forgiving him for what he has done. I know someone that has not forgiven me for what I have not done.

'Naïve' Bookkeeping - Christianity Today Magazine: "Christian Research Institute Accused of 'Naïve' Bookkeeping"
While I respect this man and intelligence, for years I have questioned privately why he would attack other ministries that did not believe like he did (Charasmatic/Word of Faith mostly). I always heard in that still voice inside me, God will take care of it. Well, for the one who has been attacking the others, he has been attacked from within, and found not to be so squeaky clean with his money. I take no pleasure in this, what he did was wrong. I only hope and pray that his message may now be tempered with the fact that he and his ministry have imperfections also.

Well, she finally did it. Annie, my sweet young 6 year old daughter has gotten my UNO crown away from me. She now holds the Morton Family crowns for Chinese Checkers and UNO. I guess I am getting to old to be champion any more (ha-ha). I am sure that one day, I will get these crowns back from her, but till then, she lets me know just who is the champion. Annie, I love you! Even if you are the champion.
