Travis has a video for you that shows some of the intense damage that Tropical Storm Fay did here in South Florida – to a kite surfer !

See Travis and Blake chillin’ in seclusion at a house down by the river !

Last Saturday LL Phil J presented his TOP 5 reasons why he attends Life Pointe Church (or rather the TOP 5 reasons why Life Pointe Church is so totally awesome – since we don’t actually attend a church per se – we are the church).

Bill realized that he’s gotten old. I can relate.

David ‘Ritz Crackah’ turned 18-years-old this past week, and he wanted the entire world to know about it !

Rebecca is back at her other home on campus at Florida State University. Go ‘Noles !

Luciana celebrated her husband’s birthday this past week.

Meanwhile up in Weston – Pastor Nathan finally received some negative comments with his ongoing surveys, and he really appreciates it !

THANK YOU my fellow bloggers for coming back strong during this past week ! Let’s keep doin’ it.

The Second Day Of School

Once upon a time I went to this school …

Saint Matthias Catholic School, Lanham Maryland

… that’s attached to this church …

Saint Matthias Catholic Church, Lanham Maryland

From September 1973 through June 1975 I was a Catholic School student for my 1ST and 2ND grades. My two teachers made quite the impression on me – literally and physically. I still remember them to this day. Sister Mary Laura was very strict, and Sister Mary Josephine was a lot of fun. I don’t think that I ever saw the former crack a smile, and the latter always seemed jovial. Back then it was quite common for teachers to scold their students with common classroom objects hitting your bare skin. My how times have changed !

My first Communion occurred on Saturday February 15TH 1975. It’s one of those dates that I shall remember forever.

I was pulled out of Catholic School following the completion of the 2ND grade, and I attended public schools for the next 10 years after that (1975-1985). We (my family) continued to attend the Sunday morning service at the church for a year or two after I stopped attending school there, but then we pretty much dropped out of the church scene as well.

It would be another 30+ years before I regularly attended another church.

Driving Hoaxes Internet

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

This – my friends – is yet another Internet HOAX !

Beware folks. This is news you can use.

THIS HAS BEEN CHECKED ON SNOPES

A friend’s son came over yesterday – he had to go to Canada for work last week. One of the other engineer’s traveling to Canada with him, but in his own car had something happen… that I need to share.

While traveling he stopped at the roadside park, similar to what we have here with bathrooms, vending machines etc. He came out to his car less than 4-5 minutes later and found someone had gotten into his car, and stolen his cell phone, laptop computer, gps navigator, briefcase….. you name it.

They called the police and since there were no signs of his car being broke into – the police told him that there is a device that robbers are using now to clone your security code when you lock your doors on your car using your key-chain locking device. They set a distance away and watch for their next victim. Since they know you are going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom and have a few minutes to steal and run.

The police office said… to be sure to manually lock your car door-by hitting the lock button inside the car, that way if there is someone setting in a parking lot watching for their next victim it will not be you.

When you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting… it does not send the security code, but if you walk away and use the door lock on your key chain- it sends the code thru the airwaves where it can be stolen.

I just wanted to let you know about this… it is something totally new to us…and this is real… it just happened this past Thursday June 19th to his co-worker…

so be aware of this and please pass this note on… look how many times we all lock our doors with our keys… just to be sure we remembered to lock them…. and bingo the guys have our code… and whatever was in the car… can be gone.

This came from a friend……

This is very troubling what lengths people will go to to steal what doesn’t belong to them! I do almost 100% of the time lock my car on the door lock inside when I exit the car. Little did I know that is the best way to lock your car.
