Bedtime Stories

Good Evening Friends it’s time for a quick late-night edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’ on this glorious Wednesday night.

I just got home from Life Group at J.T.’s and Anne’s house. Food, Fellowship, and God. That’s how we roll on Wednesday nights, and it all leads back to Him – The Lord Almighty – Up Above. There is no other bigger, better, and more powerful than Him. We believe. We receive. We have taken Jesus at His word. We have accepted His control of our Life. We are acting in obedience to His instructions. It is all about Him.

Pastor Paul left a voice mail for me at home this afternoon while I was at work. He told me to call him as soon as possible. I did so as soon as I got home. He had an interesting and exciting opportunity that he wants to share with me later this month. I’m 100% sure that I want to take advantage of this incredible experience to further my progression on God’s fantastic journey, and I’m about 90% sure that I can take a few days off from work to do it. I’ll find out for sure tomorrow at work when I complete a leave form and turn it in to my supervisour. If he accepts and approves it then I’m there !

Be sure to catch this blog in action tomorrow afternoon. I’ve got your ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ for you sometime after 4 PM. It’s a common bathroom product that kills germs dead, but can it also kill blood-sucking mosquitoes dead on contact ?  We’ll find out together tomorrow !

Until then I wish you all a safe and peaceful Wednesday night. A new day arrives in the morning, and it’s another glorious opportunity to chase that daylight and seize every moment that comes your way. Do it all for Him.

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Kristina M. !

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

This is an Internet hoax:

DON’T FLASH HEADLIGHTS AT ANY CAR WITH NO LIGHTS ON!!

Police officers working with the DARE program have
issued this Warning:

If you are driving after dark and see an on-coming car with no headlights on, DO NOT FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM! This is a common ‘Bloods’ member ‘initiation game’ that goes like this:  The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights, and the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his ‘target.’ He is now required to turn around and chase and spot that car, then shoot and kill every individual in the vehicle in order to complete his initiation requirements. Police Departments across the nation are being warned. Their intent is to have all the new bloods nationwide drive around on Friday and Saturday nights with their headlights off.

In order to be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that their lights are off.

Make sure you share this information with all the drivers in your family!

Please forward this message to all your friends and family members to inform them about this initiation ritual. They are also known to drive with high beams on and will do the same as indicated above.

This Internet hoax has been in existence since 1998, and fresh new variants of it keep appearing in E-Mail Inboxes worldwide to this date. What was an Internet hoax in 1998 is still an Internet hoax in 2008. Hit that [DELETE] key upon receipt of it !

Bedtime Stories

And so we have right here right now the Tuesday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Zicam.

My unexpectedly long Good Friday / Easter Sunday holiday weekend will soon come to a close as I pray to God and lay myself to sleep in about 2½-hours. I’ll get about 6 hours of sleep tonight, and then I’ll wake up at 5 AM tomorrow morning and be at work by 6 AM. I’m looking forward to getting back to my desk at work and catching up with everything there. Once upon a time I dreaded going to work, but now I adore it.

I saw the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Endeavour over the eastern skies of Homestead tonight just after 8 PM. It was so cool watching the Space Shuttle play tag team with the ISS up in Earth’s orbit from practically sea level.

I bought my very first atomic radio-controlled clock today. It picks-up its signal from the NIST signal out of Fort Collins Colorado. I now know exactly what time it is, and I can set my watch and VCR clocks to its precise time.

FedEx delivered my fresh new 2GB iPod Shuffle from Apple late this afternoon. Now I can get to work and fill that thing up with today’s hottest Christian rock, pop, and hip hop hits !

And that’s how I roll tonight with my ‘Bedtime Stories’. Be sure to catch this blog in action again tomorrow for some more cool stuff, and don’t forget that Thursday night is ‘Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ night. Until then remember this:

Zicam – Get over your cold faster.

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Nancy !

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

The following E-Mail was recently circulated all over my workplace. It is a chain-letter with numerous fallacies including exaggerated, incorrect, and bogus information. Variants of this chain-letter have been in existence on the Internet since 1999. The bottom-line is that this is a classic example of a ‘denial-of-service’ chain-letter in which the main intent of it is to bog down E-Mail servers and Inboxes and decrease available Internet bandwidth worldwide. Any E-Mail that encourages you to forward it on to all of your friends is known as a ‘denial-of-service’ E-Mail. Virtually all of these types of E-Mails are Internet hoaxes. They should be deleted upon receipt of them. Do not forward them on, or you will merely add to this ongoing problem on the Internet.

Subject: Dropping Gas Prices

THIS IS NOT THE ‘DON’T BUY GAS FOR ONE DAY’, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the “don’t buy gas on a certain day” campaign that was going around last April or May! It’s worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next summer, and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?

We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn’t continue to “hurt” ourselves by refusing to buy gas.

It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you’re probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.19 for regular unleaded in my town.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 – $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can’t just stop buying gas.

But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here’s the idea: For the rest of this year, DON’T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It’s really simple to do! Now, don’t wimp out on me at this point…keep reading and I’ll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) … and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)…and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers. If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it….. THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That’s all!

(If you don’t understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people…. Well, let’s face it, you just aren’t a mathematician. But I am, so trust me on this one.)

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!

I’ll bet you didn’t think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Keep it going!!!
