** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **  Winner of "Best Blog of 2011" for "The Quills"  . Previous winner of "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" Round 1. A big, heartfelt thank-you to all of my fans and supporters!  Welcome to the randomness, silliness, craziness, and all-around tomfoolery ā what a great word that isn't used nearly enough ā that is my blog. Don't get me wrong, it isn't always silly and crazy. Sometimes it's serious or sad but, more often than not, it's comical. Nonetheless, it is always entertaining. I try to see the fun in life. I'll add to it as much as I can so make sure you check back often.  Feel free to leave a comment or review to let me know you stopped by.  DISCLAIMER: If you are someone who gets offended easily, then you shouldn't go any further. I'm up-front, to-the-point, sarcastic and honest (sometimes brutally so). I tell it like it is, or the way I think it is. If you don't get offended very easily, then you've come to the right blog. All are welcome. The fun is free! My life is an open book blog. Hilarity and chaos ensue... ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
Day 5 Prompt for the "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" : Again...from the War Chest...Do you believe in miracles? Why, or why not? Iām probably going to go to Hell for saying this, but at this point, itās really go big or go home. Being the HUGE sports fan that I am, whenever I think of miracles ā or just hear the word āmiracleā ā I automatically think of this. [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] For those of you that donāt know, thatās from the 1980 U.S. Menās Olympic hockey team. That epic win in Lake Placid was one of the greatest moments in sports. I may have only been 3 years old at the time, but I can remember my dad and my brothers being ridiculously excited. Since I idolized them, I was excited, too, even though I had no idea what was actually going on, or how historic that moment truly was. However, I donāt think thatās what Fivesixer  was referring to with this prompt. I am a spiritual person. Iām also a religious person. I donāt go to church all that much, but I have a relationship with God that suits me just fine. In my opinion, you donāt have to sit in church every week in order to be a good Christian. Iām not knocking those who do ā not at all ā thatās simply my belief.I think my biggest issue with organized religion is that Iām very analytical and extremely scientific-minded. That being said, I have questions. A lot of them. If what the bible tells us is true then evolution is not. Evolution has been proven by science. The bible? Wellā¦have you seen or read The Da Vinci Code? I know itās fiction, but there are some valid points. Iād always thought that, which is why I probably loved the book so much when it came out. Some religious diehards probably view this as sacrilegious. Iām OK with that. Weāre all entitled to our own beliefs and opinions. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and I believe he was a divine man, but still just a man. I believe he was able to perform miracles, but that some of the stories in the bible are just that, stories. Miracles happen each and every day. Whether itās a childās laughter, a newbornās first cry, a loving couple saying āI doā, flowers in bloom, a bright, sunny day, the sound of waves crashing to the shore, love, laughter, sloppy, wet dog kisses, an amazing sunset, a beautiful rainbow, a starry sky. I could keep goingā¦and goingā¦and going. Miracles happen all around us if only we take the time to see and appreciate them. If you couldn't surmise by all the things I've written above, my answer is yes. I do believe in miracles.   In Other News  There was a police officer shot and killed in Philadelphia today. As you know, Chris is a detective with the Philadelphia police. Iāve dated cops before, but this hits home. Rest in peace, Officer Robert Wilson III. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Please take a moment to say a prayer in his name. http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Police-Officer-Shot-in-North-Philly-29...  Music, Music, Music  Could someone do me a solid and take this guy to church already? Please. And thank you.  [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
