Man, it’s the day before Christmas. I guess you have some last minute shopping to do so let me get this post done so you can get out there.
Okay, now this round of good news warms my heart. An 11 year old uses his birthday to honor his late sister by feeding the homeless, which is something she was all about.
When homeowners Kurt and Elizabeth walked into their kitchen, they were not expecting their usually skinny bottle of virgin olive oil to have a bump just below the mid section.
“I didn’t understand it.”, said Elizabeth as she held her husband’s hand tight with one hand while wiping a tear with the other. “I looked at Kurt and I could tell we were thinking the same thing: We have to get this checked out. So we went to a doctor. I was so anxious. Was it a tumor? Were we going to lose our little…”
Elizabeth ended up sobbing before finishing the quote.
The rest, as they say, is history. Doctors confirmed that the bottle of virgin olive oil was indeed pregnant.
“I couldn’t believe it. I just couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen a lot of corny Christmas stories about some ridiculous miracle. Never thought I’d be a part of it.” said Kurt as he was in the local hardware store looking for paint for the nursery.
The bottle’s identity is being kept a secret because the story’s author doesn’t want to single a brand of olive oil out. It said that an angel told it…or her…her that this would happen.
“Kurt had just finished pouring some of me on some meat; I think it was for spaghetti, and then there she was. A beautiful angel had come to tell me I would be with child. Here I am, a virgin, about to conceive. I never even had the talk!”
Companies and brands like Ripley’s Believe It or Not are reported to be in constant communication with the family concerning endorsements and even a sitcom on NBC.
When asked when the baby would be due, the oil said “any day now” while some how rubbing her belly with no hands. The bottle also denied an appearance on the Maury Povich show saying that she “ain’t got no baby daddy.”

I’m back. Please, stop clapping. You’re making me blush. I know you missed me.
Okay so my stuffed animal just told me that it’s the news you’re interested in. That’s fine; I never liked you anyway. On with the image:
It’s Friday and this is the start of probably a stressful weekend. I can’t even promise I’ll be posting on Saturday. You already know I don’t post on Sunday. But, I’m gonna fight through it.
One of those few quotes that make me think. I’ve got a couple of stories for ya.
First, a donation of blankets will keep some homeless people a little more warm this winter:
Thursday is here. Let’s celebrate!
And now for the news. Mmm…smell that? Smells like a good time! Or feet!
Hey, so, as most of you know, I wrote a book. This is one of the chapters from my book. At the end, you have the option of watching the episode from the video series covering the book. This will be the Wednesday Word for the day.
When we look at money, we think that it’s the only way to function in this world. And yes, we need money to pay for the bills, food, a place to live in and other things. Because of the importance of money, we can end up looking at money as our life line. We start to idolize money. We start thinking money can buy peace and happiness and ultimate success.
That’s just not true.
One of the famous miss-quotes of the Bible is “Money is the root of all evil” Before I explain what the actual saying is; let’s go over how this is wrong. For one thing, God wants us to prosper here on earth, even though our time here is short. While God doesn’t need money, He understands how the world works and is able to supply His children with the resources to survive. And since money is a big necessity, he gives us what we need.
There is no reason why you would have to believe that money is the root of all evil when God himself encourages us to get it.
So then what’s the correct saying?
