The Lottery Jaundice


            I thought I had seen it all until a week ago. I was driving behind this woman that would not speed up in the fast lane. I turned my blinker on, and went around her. As I took a glance out of the passenger side window (expecting to see her texting), what I saw made me scream at the top of my lungs. She was steering the car with her knees…AS SHE SCRATCHED OFF THE NUMBERS ON HER LOTTERY TICKET!!! I have watched countless people in front of me at the local convenience stores buy these things like its lunch-time! Not just the poor communities, but people who are dressed to kill, jacket/tie and all!! It is absolutely driving me berserk. I remember a friend of mine who, just for fun, would get one Lottery ticket a year: on his birthday. This being said, enjoy these great snips from the Dave Ramsey Show about your chances of winning at this scam called the Lottery. Perhaps, a new way of thinking will emerge in America if enough people hear and share these messages:

Lion of Judah

So, our good friend Snoop Dogg has now changed his name to Snoop Lion, and is redirecting his sights on a new reggae album. Odd. Every time someone in the city had been interviewed on what they would like to say to Snoop Lion, the cynical laughter and scoffing begins. Hey, perhaps his “reinvention” is sincere. His visit to Jamaica certainly seems to have revolutionized his way of thinking. One evening, I started laughing about it with my wife, and was struck by an idea I had to get down as soon as possible. I started thinking about the significance of the King of Beasts, the lions in our own lives. We are all familiar with that great scene from The Lion King , as Mufasa speaks to Simba from the heavens. “Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king.” This is an improbable spectacle of virtue, pride, and rule. It is almost a display of sovereignty, don’t you think? However, the lion that I actually wanted to talk with you is even greater. Aslan, the Lion of Narnia. ...

The Voice of Reason and the Voice of Men

Blockhead is going to go ahead and get his affiliate plugs out there early because I have a lot I wish to write about today. Hang in there with me, readers! First and fore most… Blockhead wants to save you some cash this New Year. I promise! Instead of several daily trips to Starbucks (often referred to as Five Bucks), why not consider your own fresh brew at home that looks more like 25 cents a cup? Then consider Koa Coffee from the Koa Coffee Plantation in Hawaii, “ where every bean is picked by hand, harvesting only when the beans are cherry red, and no mechanical harvesting that would mix in bitter green beans so that every roast is sure the have the taste of Aloha spot on, every time. Koa Coffee has always been dedicated to offering the finest Kona Coffee experience, while also sharing the beauty and Aloha of the Hawaiian Islands. 100% pure Kona Coffee from the Kona Coffee Belt is distinguishable from all other coffees by its unique island microclimate. ” The most beautiful fl...

Complacent Hearts

For the first time, I recently believed that I was ready to read, and thoroughly embrace, a book called Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge. After reading this book, a pastor from Atlanta, Georgia exclaimed in praise of this book, “I have fallen in love with Jesus all over again.” A pastor…Hmmm, if the impact of this book is THAT strong… “Am I ready to tackle this?” was the question I repeatedly asked myself until now. I have reached a chapter entitled, Disruptive Honesty, and would like to share some discoveries I have made and what has been weighing on my heart for a minute, now. It begins with a story from the Bible, as follows: “When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went and reclined at the table. But the Pharisee, noticing that Jesus did not first wash before the meal, was surprised. Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.” (Luke 11: 37...
