Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.

Here you go Max. Not exactly like your picture, but looks just as fun. A little pricey, but I suspect cost will come down some as they go along.

I find this to be very heartening. It takes a few minutes, but they get to talking about the shootings in Charleston. That was the really good impactful part. I may check this book out "Unified."

Bridger is a hero. How brave is this young man? Hey, all. Please, share my nephew’s story so that it gets as much exposure as it can. We know that our little hero would love some words of encouragement from his favorite heroes. On July 9th, my six year old nephew Bridger saved his little sister’s life by standing between her and a charging dog. After getting bit several times on the face and head, he grabbed his sister’s hand and ran with her to keep her safe. He later said, “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me.” After receiving 90 stitches (give or take) from a skilled plastic surgeon, he’s finally resting at home. We love our brave boy and want all the other superheroes to know about this latest hero who joined their ranks.

While the incident was sad, the actions of one person reminds us that it is not just humans dealing with all this mess. God is surely in the mix.

“I just witnessed the same lady from that video accidentally step out into traffic on Patton Avenue, going towards downtown Asheville, as she was walking with traffic coming from behind her…the Asheville Fire Department truck that you see in the background is the vehicle that she stepped out in front of,” Rowell wrote. “There were over a dozen bystanders that had come to see what was going on…and then there was 1 lady who was praying out loud & I mean praying very intensely…begging God to please let this lady survive.”

Rowell concluded, “And that 1 person was the Black lady standing right in front of me in this picture. Praying & praying & praying and in tears for coincidentally the same woman who was yelling the N word with such hatred in her heart. Just sayin.”

Looks like a great option because I can carry my float tube in the back to go fishing :lol:

This is who we are. Do not let the media convince you otherwise.

Not sure if this is true, but a good story so I am posting it. Fact check THAT facebook! :lol:

A wise teacher once brought balloons to school, told her pupils to blow them up and write their name on one. After the children tossed their balloons into the hall, the teacher moved through the hall mixing them all up.

The kids were given five minutes to find the balloon with their name on it, but though they searched frantically, no one found their own balloon.

Then the teacher told them to take the balloon closest to them and give it to the person whose name was on it. In less than two minutes, everyone was holding their own balloon.

The teacher said to the children, “These balloons are like happiness. We won't find it when we're only searching for our own. But if we care about someone else's happiness...it will ultimately help us find our own.”

I'm thinking this is brilliant, powered by wind and ingenuity.
