Weekly News 4

Things have been crazy in Egypt. It’s to the point where Egyptian officials have detained a bird…because it’s no ordinary bird. It’s a spy! You need to read the article to understand what happens next.

In good news, one of the sources I use to find good news, Good News Network, is celebrating its 16th birthday. I just want to give a big thanks for all that they do. They helped inspire me to do this blog (although I had been doing this before I stumbled upon the site). Make sure you support GNN!

This guy has 6,000 barbie dolls. A man. With a pink room. Of Barbie dolls. What more do you need to know? I don’t know…I guess it’s better than collecting Ken dolls…? I don’t know.

I love stories like this. Okay, so a police officer ended up in some trouble while trying to make an arrest. So this homeless guy steps in to help. The police for now is his personal guard. I mean, like, they keep an eye on him that he always has shelter. Cool. Be kinda awkward if they ever have to arrest him…

When A Great Relationship Ends

Yeah, I don’t normally go all in on my personal life like this but writing is always a way to vent out feelings. And perhaps there’s a good message in here too. Recently, I have come to terms with the end of what used to be a fantastic relationship. As you may know, I have quite a few relationships where people are sisters to me. I guess I lost a sister.

Most of us have that relationship where you’re really close. You talk about everything and anything. The most serious and the most silly. By the way, this wasn’t a romantic relationship. She’s a family member. Anyway, we had great times and memories. But, over time, we drifted.

Once you have to actually schedule a time just to talk to someone, the relationship isn’t as strong as you’d like.

Yeah, I’ll be honest, and I say this even though I may seem like I’m not being truthful, but I feel like she didn’t do enough to keep things together for us. It takes two; I get it. But, I still feel like I gave it my all while she gave it only 50%. And, if she did give 100%, and it still wasn’t working, then the relationship still has to end. Either way, this conclusion seemed inevitable.

It seemed like this was destined to happen for the past two years. And yet, we still tried. But it was like trying to resuscitate a dead person. At some point, ya gotta call it. Pull the plug, bro. That’s what I did a few days ago. I finally said it’s over and there’s no going back.

Sheesh, this sounds like a breakup.

Fridayyyyyy! Alright last DGS of the week. Gotta do it right. Quote and scripture up first as usual.

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:13-16

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

It’s the middle of the week. I hope it’s going well for ya. Hopefully this post hits the spot.

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:1-3

Without labor nothing prospers. Sophocles

Well howdy there! Thanks for stopping by. Let’s get started.

Let deeds match words. Plautus

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
