DALANEL

Changes to Wednesday Word and Thursday Thoughts

These are minor tweaks.

For Wednesday Word, I am officially making video length no more than 10 minutes. The original rule was no more than 20 minutes. Also, I am no longer adding my commentary. So, video and done,

For Thursday Thoughts, I’ll be adding an image of a quote, along with the typical three quotes.

What I’m aiming to do with DALANEL is to make this a quick stop destination. Each post here is short and sweet. Videos are no longer than 10 minutes. Just a few quotes to chew on; nothing overwhelming.

I try to get this stuff up in the morning so you can start your day off on a positive note. I really want to settle in these daily posts so I don’t anticipate too many changes besides these little tweaks.

Tuesday Testimony: Saved from a terrible accident

From Testimony Share:

I just want to share a testimony with everyone. God is alive. I was recently in a car accident, my car rolled over and flew over a fence and then landed on my side but stood back on its wheels immediately. I got out of that accident without a scratch. I saw the whole thing happen and I remember saying to God.

“God please protect me, take the wheel.”

I got out and looked at how badly damaged my car was, and I did not have a scratch, not even one. God is truly alive people. He lives within us, he is with us everyday, he protects us. I needed to share this miracle with you. God is Alive and he protected me. I should’ve been dead but because it was not Gods timing, I am alive and well. Praise God, he deserves the glory. Amen

Monday Motivation: Share a Joke

It’s okay to laugh, ya know.

I want you to share a joke today with a classmate…coworker…friend…neighbor on the train…somebody.

Here’s mine:

There was a Minister whose wife was expecting a baby. The Minister went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when the Minister’s family expanded, so would his pay check.

After five or six children, this started to get expensive. The congregation decided to hold a meeting again to discuss the Minister’s pay situation. You can imagine there was much yelling and bickering. Finally, the Minister got up and spoke to the crowd, “Having children is an act of God!”

In the back of the room, a little old man with a full beard stood up, and in his frail voice said… “Snow and Rain are also ‘acts of God’, but when we get too much, we wear rubbers!”

Like this one? I GUESS you can share it. I encourage you to search for one on your own though. Search on this blog or my blog designated to hold jokes.

DALANEL Continues to Fight for Good

DALANEL has always been a weapon of mine to counter the negativity of the world. I try to bring a positive spin to the world.

Currently, these are the ways I attack:

  • Monday Motivation
  • Tuesday Testimony
  • Wednesday Word
  • Thursday Thoughts
  • Fearless Friday

Each post provides a unique spin on things. I create Monday Motivations on my own. Testimonies, Thoughts, and Fearless are outsourced. Wednesday Word is a combination of the two.

I’ve spent years molding this blog and its features to carry this vision. I will continue to. The idea that I’m making an impact is a good one. 1,600 people can’t be wrong, right? That’s how many people follow this blog. Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, WordPress, Email, and LinkedIn. Many people, many backgrounds. But, they can appreciate what is going on here.

I’m hardly the only site with the same purpose in mind. However, I’m pretty sure I’m the only guy doing it the way I am.

I recently read a story of a girl, with the help of her little sister, who killed their older brother. He locked her in a closet. Apparently, this is what the parents did to punish her. The parents had left, and big brother was in charge. His sister…I GUESS, needed to be disciplined and big bro did what he saw his parents do. Lock her up.

Thursday Thoughts: Oliver Herford, Henry Moore, George Bernard Shaw

Many are called but few get up. Oliver Herford
I think in terms of the day’s resolutions, not the years’. Henry Moore

Wednesday Word: Stay Focused on God

This video was one of the funniest I’ve watched. Let’s take a look.

His lovely wife though. Look, let me go over my commentary and I’ll end with her.

As our friend was saying, there are a lot of things that can distract us from God. God says no other gods before Him. We can get caught up in other idols like money, people, things…ourselves. Deep. Don’t let yourself say “aw, it’s not as far to say idolism”. That’s what the enemy wants you to believe. His goal is to make sure sin seems like no big deal so that we continue it.

Getting in God’s word will help us focus on Him much better. Daily meditation on Him can only help. Give Him time of day as we give other things time of day that we probably shouldn’t.

Alright…so as the video was going on, I couldn’t help but notice that the wife spent time looking as if she was dozing off. So, it didn’t surprise me when she suddenly disappeared from the video. Look, I’m not saying she quit on the video to take a nap. But…just watch it again. Look at her when her head is down. Meditation? Um…y’all let me know though!

I had a good laugh.
