If someone pulled a product off the rack at the local grocery store and saw an expiration date from nearly 50 years ago, it would be shocking and appalling to an extent that the shopper might immediately drop it, recoil in horror, and likely kick it aside. If that reaction is so universally understandable, maybe [...]

Thank you, Sir. May I have another?
There is a tacit understanding on Wall Street that gloating is not necessary or appreciated when winning, and that whining is categorically unacceptable when you’re losing. It’s that tempestuous little thing called “risk” and sometimes she smiles upon you and sometimes she doesn’t, but she doesn’t come with a money back guarantee. Never has. Never [...]
Prepared For The Real Thing – Sunday Thought For The Day
WRITTEN BY: Joe Stowell (Our Daily Bread; 5/20/12) Through the years, quite a few people have predicted the return of Jesus at a specific time.

While awaiting a routine medical procedure in a local hospital, I noticed a wall plaque showing Christ on a cross. Later, a nurse asked me several administrative questions, in-cluding, “Do you have any spiritual needs you’d like to discuss with a chaplain?” I said that I appreciated her asking that question, which I found unusual [...]
I’m glad obama thinks he’s funny
Every time I see the clip of obama at the jobs council mtg saying, “shovel ready jobs weren’t as shovel ready as we thought,” watching him on the panel in ribald laughter, as he sits there chortling at how clever he was – it makes my blood boil. That clip should be played every day. [...]
