Daily Good Stuff 180

It’s Thursday and I think it’s safe to say that I’ve had a decent week. It could’ve gone better but whatever. Let’s get down to another round of good stuff!

A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination  and hard work. Colin Powell

“Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.” John 14:21

Ain’t that the truth? Well, it is for my life. Shoot, it’s 1 am as I write this.
One day, the teacher walks into her classroom and announces to the class that on each Friday, she will ask a question to the class and anyone who answers correctly doesn’t have to go to school the following Monday.

On the first Friday, the teacher asks, “How many grains of sand are in the beach?” Needless to say, no one could answer.

The following Friday, the teacher asks the class, “How many stars are in the sky?” and again no one could answer. Frustrated, little Johnny decides that the next Friday, he would somehow answer the question and get a 3 day weekend.

So Thursday night, Johnny takes two ping-pong balls and paints them black. The next day, he brings them to school in a paper bag. At the end of the day, just when the teacher says, “Here’s this week’s question,” Johnny empties the bag to the floor sending the ping-pong balls rolling to the front of the room. Because they are young kids who find any disruption of class amusing, the entire class starts laughing.

The teacher says, ” Okay, who’s the comedian with the black balls?”

Immediately, little Johnny stands up and says, “Bill Cosby, see ya on Tuesday!”

Nice! A little forced, but still a good joke.
Mark Wahlberg (yes, that Mark Wahlberg) has finally become a high school graduate at age 42. He wants kids to finish too:
His Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation has partnered with other organizations to provide resources to young people who commit to finishing high school.
Good for him.
So a few police officers cut in line to buy Grand Theft Auto. Only problem was, they weren’t cops. Wait, the folks were outside waiting for the store to open. These guys show up, get inside before opening, and run off with copies of the game. Yeesh. And that’s not even it. Check out the rest of the story.

Born on a Wednesday, I guess I have a special connection with this day. So, are you ready to get this party started? Then let’s do it!

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. Norman Vincent Peale

It is to a man’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. Proverbs 20:3

That’s me and my sisters. Eventually this meme will catch on. Right?
At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny, a child in the Kindergarten class, seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam’s ribs.Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and asked, “Johnny, what is the matter?”

Little Johnny groaned and responded , “I have a pain in my side. I think I’m going to have a wife.”

Have a fantastic day!

The DALANEL Facebook Network

As you know, I am a page on Facebook. DanteWrites is the name. I recently mentioned that one of my pages “Nothing But Jokes” would become active again. In all, I have five pages that I manage, as well as another one that I am part of, although the page isn’t mine. I’m wondering if you heard of any of them:

  • DanteWrites
  • Nothing But Jokes
  • I Am A Great Person of God
  • I Think Dante Is Awesome
  • 3 Nelson Kids

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I have resumed posting at “I Am A Great Person of God”. I have no plans for bringing back to life the other two pages so we’re left with the jokes, me, and people of God. Basically, the result of this blog came from those jokes and person pages. I started out on Facebook and came here.

I guess you can say I’m going back to my roots.

These pages will have an identity. It’ll be called something like this: The DALANEL Facebook Network. Essentially, since they are all under the same wing, and they are related to what I post here at DALANEL, I’d figure I make them all related. The people that like one page will constantly hear about the others. For a full experience, you would like all three pages.

It’s going to happen.

Of course, the likes of each page will be combined to label my Facebook following. And, ultimately, they will be led to this blog. Everywhere I go, I link myself back to this blog. This is the headquarters of my internet presence.

So, make sure you “like” me and my network today!

Daily Good Stuff 178: Love

No, I’m not waiting until Valentine’s Day to do this. We need love every day, don’t we? So, let’s do it. I’m sure you’ll love it.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action. Mother Teresa

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

Hey, love is everywhere! Let’s get a joke:

Dante’s Opinion: Are There People Who Aren’t Afraid of Anything?

Before we get to the question, I would like to welcome you to the first post of Dante’s Opinion. Just a quick review of what it is in case you don’t know: Dante’s Opinion is where I search the internet for questions that people ask on sites like Yahoo! Answers and answer them here. Today, we’ll kick off the feature with a couple of questions.

The first one is asked my Matt:

I know that there are people who aren’t afraid of the dark, horror movies, and death, but are there those who aren’t afraid of anything? Like some kind of chemical thing in their brain that makes it so that fear just doesn’t register? I understand that fear is a survival instinct that’s part of your fight-or-flight instinct, but are there people who just don’t get scared or don’t panic at all?

I want to say no. I don’t think such a person exists in a normal state. Perhaps if the person were a sociopath. But, even then I don’t think so. For that person, certain emotions may not register. But, I think fear is just a part of life. At least, this life here on Earth. I think I can vary as well. Some people may get scared but just have great composure. Like, a fire fighter. He’s probably a little scared for his life but he’s still able to keep it together to fight the fire. So yeah, I think there’s a little bit of fear in everybody.

Our next question is by Imperial Rex:

Would a sentient alien (extraterrestrial) be able to accept Christianity as their religion?

Oh wow. First answer is yes. I’ll tell you why. This only makes sense if you believe that God is all powerful and created the universe. Now, in all of God’s power and glory, I believe that there may be other life forms on other planets. And, these aliens probably have experienced Jesus in a way. I could believe that. However, upon more consideration, there is one thing about humans: We’re made if God’s image. So, are there other creations on other planets that are also made in God’s image? This simple question that Rex asked can go so far but I’ll sum it up here:

It’s all up to God. If God decided that Earth wasn’t the only place where you can be saved…or I should say, if He feels like Humans are not the only people that can be saved, then so be it. We’ll probably never really know until we meet extraterrestrials and see what they live by. Really good question and I might dedicate an entire post to this.

So that’s it. That’s Dante’s Opinion. If you have questions you want me to tackle, go to my Ask Dante page and we’ll go from there. As for the answers I provided here,

They’re just my opinion!

Daily Good Stuff 177

So, we made it to another DGS. Have you heard about my new blog feature: Dante and Basketball? If it becomes successful enough, it could end up being “Dante and Sports”. But, let’s start small, ya know? Anyway, on to the post.

A young woman was having a physical examination and  was embarrassed because of a weight problem. As she  removed her last bit of clothing, she blushed. “I’m so ashamed, Doctor,” she said, “I guess I let myself go.”

The physician was checking hers eyes and ears. “Don’t  feel ashamed, Miss. You don’t look that bad.”

“Do you really think so, Doctor?” she asked.

The doctor held a tongue depressor in front of her face  and said, “Of course. Now just open your mouth and  say moo.”

This isn’t weird news…even if it does sound weird. No, we’ll say this is good news. For two years now, this guy, on his birthday, stands out in the street giving out money. Yup. Giving it away. This year was $750.

Here’s some creepy news. If you hate clowns, turn back now. Apparently, there’s a clown stalking a town. Yes, a town. Where? Northampton, England is where. Trust me, I’m not clowning around.

And you thought I wouldn’t slip in a corny joke!
