Ted.com: David Gallo Shows Footage of Amazing Sea Creatures
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Yesterday a friend of mine sent me one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen. It was on a site called Ted.com. I’d never heard of the site, or organization before. So I headed to their About TED page to see what they are all about. Here’s a little info from there:

Shooting at Unitarian Church in Knoxville, Tennessee
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008I need a new website to get my news from, one that will give me actual news. Any suggestions?
In the meantime, please pray for the Unitarian church in Knoxville, Tennessee, pray for healing of the injured, physically and emotionally, for peace for everyone who was present, for the children who witnessed hell in action.
How to Simulate Shipboard Life at Home
Monday, July 28th, 2008First off: I did not write this little list. When I was in the Navy, this was one of those things that floated around the ship for who knows how long. The copy I saw was set on a typewriter and photocopied (poorly) so many times it was barely readable. In order to preserve its [...]

You’re Under the Gun So You Take It on the Run - What is It with War Criminals?
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Maybe it’s just something I don’t understand about war criminals. Maybe it’s also something I don’t understand about human nature. If you’re guilty, why not face up to it? Okay, I guess some people are kind of cowardly and concerned with self-preservation.
What does the Government plan to do about gas prices: Raise the Gas tax?
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008The government gets a lot of money from every one of us living in this country. Just like a family, or a company, they need to support their systems based on their budget! If they can’t, cut unnessary spending, like repairing roads based on standards from 15 years ago when gas was affordable, because standards have changed as gas prices tripled.
Marc Sells Out and the Happiness of the Now
Monday, July 21st, 2008I’m a firm believer that everything, good or bad, happens for a reason. If I’d been who I am now, what basis would I have for learning from my mistakes? If I’d changed anything, would I have been led to the place I am now? Would I be married to the wonderful woman I share my life with? Would my sons have been born?
Praying for Gas Prices
Friday, July 18th, 2008Is it out of line to include gas prices in our prayers? Is that putting too much in the hands of God? The above video shows a group literally praying at the pump for God to lower gas prices. Then, journalists interview a priest for his opinions. Obviously some people think this is going too far.
