Watch This!

Things don’t always work out the way we want them to, or the way we think they will. Sometimes we don’t even see it coming. We get hit with some form of pain out of nowhere leaving us feeling desperate and helpless. That’s the way life is. Still, it makes us wonder how God can let these things happen to us. How God can just stand by and watch us suffer. Where is God when it really hurts? Maybe God is actually closer to us than we think. Maybe it’s when we’re in these situations, where everything seems to be falling apart, that God gets an opportunity to remind us of how much he really loves us.

What has our nation come to when we can no longer let employers use creative and interactive ways to encourage and motivate their workers to better perform? Here is an employee who participated in a company wide motivating competition to help drive sales. Yes, this employee did happen to be female. And yes, the loser also was teased, forced to eat baby food and then drop dress slacks front and center, bare their buttocks and get paddled. And yes this female employee did happen to lose.

I don't understand why this woman was awarded so much money though. By handing her a small fortune, she'll have failed to learn the most important lesson from this all; positive work ethics. Not to mention that this judge has now set a precedence for to my wife sue me into oblivion. . .

"My God is a God who wants me to have things. . . He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block. I don’t know what kind of God the rest of y’all are serving, but the God I serve says, ‘Mary, you need to be the hottest thing this year, and I’m gonna make sure you’re doing that" - Mary J. Blige

Dear Mary,

You know you are my favorite daughter, I made you special, and I love you very much.I have to remind you, however, that you can't worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you'll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can't worship both money and Me. I seek out the humble and the meek and take a stance of opposition against the Proud. I give grace to the humble. I extinguish the proud. I desire for you to humble your heart to me. Don't focus on acquiring your bling. Focus on acquiring my wisdom.

Love,

Your Father.

I know I'm late to be jumping on the bandwagon here, but I can't help but write about this genious movie concept. I too have dreams of filmmaking and scriptwriting. Heck, I'm even working a script right now. Out of all the notions I've had as to what would be a great idea for thrill ride of a movie, I would have NEVER thought of this.


Ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes, is one of the most common suffered phobias worldwide. And after 9/11, who isn't terrified to get on a plane anymore? The plot is just absolute genious!

After contemplating this movie plot formula magic, I decided to try my hand at it. Here goes:

Nick is a convict on his way up the 4th floor in the district courthouse for sentancing. He faces life in prison for the murder of his wife. Sandra is the rookie police officer asigned to escort Nick to court. Their elevator stops in between floors and the two hear a hissing noice growing in volume. Prying the doors open, Sandra and Nick become overwhelmed by a swarm of hissing beetles. Armed only with a tazor and shackles, Sandra and Nick are forced to overcome differences, and defend their lives against. . . .Cicadas in an Elevator!

Secular Findings Don't Diminish Faith - Newsweek Society - MSNBC.com

I really appreciate the Rabbi's P.O.V. on this subject. As a Christian I feel like I stand alone in the crowd when it comes to this Da Vinci Code movie. I'm not afraid of it's release. I'm not even afraid the "cover up" it proposes to "reveal." It's a Tom Hanks movie. That's all.

A movie based on a fiction novel which in turned was based on some widely speculative possibilities. Speculation doesn't rock my faith. Speculation spurns curiosity which will cause people to take a deeper look into the bible.

So, I welcome you Da Vinci Code. Heck, I'm even excited about seeing the movie. Hopefully, seeing the movie and understanding how to apply the themes within it will better equip me to share my beliefs and faith to others who have seen it as well.

I don't know why all the fuss over testing to see if cell phones can cause cancer or not. As you can see from the image to the right, we've already figured out what frequency cell phones operate on and it is nowhere close to the range that is known to cause cancer.

People hear the word radiation associated to cell phones and assume that it's the same radiation that gave the Fantastic Four their amazing powers, or the same radiation that requires me to wear a lead vest during an x-ray while the radiologist hides behind a lead wall in a separate room.

In all actuality, you are in more danger standing out in the sun with no SPF then you are using a cell phone. Unless, of course, you're driving and talking at the same time. In that case, you're a dead man talkin'.

Did Jesus walk on water? Or ice? - LiveScience - MSNBC.com: "'We simply explain that unique freezing processes probably happened in that region only a handful of times during the last 12,000 years,' "

Jesus didn't 'magically hover' above the water? This completely undermines my entire faith! Seriously, although this may not have been an actual prophecy, many of the hundreds of prophesies about Jesus were fulfilled through UNmiraculous ways.

So am I suppsed to throw my hands in air in complete frusteration simply because Jesus caused or was apart of a unique freezing process that only hit that region a handful of times during the last 12,000 years? I don't think so. God works in mysterious ways.

Sometimes those ways involve temperatures dropping to 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-4 degrees Celsius) during one of the two cold periods 2,500 to 1,500 years ago for up to two days, the same decades during which Jesus lived.

With such conditions, a floating patch of ice could develop above the plumes, resulting from the salty springs along the lake's western shore in Tabgha. Tabgha being the town where many archeological findings related to Jesus have been found.

Either way, you know what it looked like to the 12 men in the boat? It looked like Jesus was walking on water. Of course, this prompted Peter to follow suit and jump ship and follow His Lord. And you know what those witnesses wrote in their accounts. That Peter walked on water as well. Not ice, not a sand barge, water. His feet hit the water and he at first, did not sink. They didn't mince words, Jesus walked on water.

Early tomorrow morning will mark an amazingly nerdy event. At three hundreths of a second after 1:02 AM, the time and date will read, "01:02:03 04/05/06." That's 1 2 3 4 5 6! It's incredible, it's geeky, it's incredibly geeky, and it also just so happens to be the prophetic time that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will give birth to their alien antichrist child, who shall also someday be named the L.Ron Hubbard re-incarnate. Let's see what happens!

Moussaoui Defiant After Jury's Verdict - NEWS - Comcast.net



Am I the only one who understands what this guy is doing? Moussaoui WANTS to die a martyrs death. This fate, in his religion, holds a promise of some enormous amount of virgins waiting for him when he reaches heaven. If he is 'captured' by us, and we kill him, we'll assure him that hope. The hope that he may finally acheive the martyrdom that he's dreamt of since childhood.

Solution: Do Not Sentence this man to death. Give him life in prison, and do everything we can to be sure he dies of old age or other such natural causes. Anything that robs him of the hope he so desparately strived to rob from innocent women and children.

In the words of the Soup Nazi, "No virgins for you, Moussaoui!"

Cruise reveals plans for a summer wedding MSNBC.com

“First the baby, then the film. Then, in summer, we want to get married. I won’t let this woman get away.” - Tom Cruise speaking to German tabloid, "Bild." (emphasis mine)

Well, there you have it. Cruise has finally let slip (in the Freudian sense at least) that Katie may not want to stick around. Apparently, he wants to hurry things up before she has time to think things through.

Katie, let me appeal to you an idea of mine. I hope I don't lose you here. I've come to the theory that you are in love with the Tom Cruise of Top Gun, Days of Thunder, Cocktail, and Mission Impossible. You aren't really in love with the in the closet, couch jumping, psychiatrist hating, Scientologist.

Once you've welcomed your baby into the world, Katie, and the marriage has come and gone, the wonder and mystery left in your life will be, "how in the world did I get stuck with this creep and his cult???" I'm not a supporter of Cut and Run, but I think it applies here. It won't be long before he has you locked up in the sauna on heavy doses of Niacin and vitamins until you AND your child are completely brainwashed and sub-dued. You've got to get the hell out of there.
