'A Guy Like Me' | The Players' Tribune - The All-Star journey of a journeyman hockey player
If you are even a little bit of a hockey fan, then you should read this article. It will diminish the management of the NHL in your eyes... but it will teach you just how decent the men who play in that league really are. Thank you, John Scott for writing this article. You are indeed a class act. I hope you get voted the MVP of the All-Star game.

6 Jokes We Need to Stop Making
Even though I am not a supporter of the latest craze (transgenderism) because I do not believe it to be legitimate (God does not make mistakes and place people of one 'gender' into the body of the 'other'), I wholeheartedly agree with the general thrust and argument of this article. Conversation and debate can not be deemed to be off limits - but making fun at another's expense can clearly be seen as out of bounds. I apologize to one and all for the times when I did it myself. It's time to change my ways and strive to do better.
How about you?

I read the Pope's book yesterday. It's more of a 'booklet' than a book... but it's a good read nonetheless.

Sometimes I just shake my head and wonder how some people survive the daily trials of life...
This is an actual review from Amazon.com for a toilet brush. I kid you not. This is an actual picture of the item:
Below is the review:
1.0 out of 5 stars - Ouch
By Dottion December 8, 2014
Verified Purchase!!
Wow this thing was absolutely painful! I think I'm bleeding. I'll stick to toilet paper.
Here's the link to the actual review: http://www.amazon.com/…/customer-reviews/B005KDCMBM/ref=cm_…
Proof positive that some people are just too silly to be allowed to go without adult supervision!

My resolution for the New Year - to light a candle rather than cursing the darkness
Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy.... Anyone who desecrates it must die.' (Exodus 31:12-15)
You see, even our Bible has texts which when misunderstood, misapplied, or used out of context could be used to justify murder. The problem though is not in the text but in its misuse. So taking a single line of text from the Quran and claiming it justifies killing is just as stupid as Christians going around killing people for working on a Saturday claiming that God told us to do it! It's just NUTS.
To put my point a bit more prosaically, instead of cursing the darkness of Muslim extremists misapplying their sacred texts, light a candle and show them the error of their ways. This is what Pope B16 told us to do... and he hardly qualifies as a liberal radical!!
So why not join with me and help bring light into these dark corners where hatred and intolerance festers and breeds? I think it's a great way to help everyone see the truth a little bit better and in doing so, we'll make this world a little better for all of us... believers and non-believers alike.
