5 Ways reCAPTCHA's are anti-Love
Nerdy Post Warning
Anyone that has ever signed up for anything online is familiar with the goofy “CAPTCHA” things where you squint to type in weird characters proving you’re not a robot. CAPTCHA stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.” TOTALLY geeky, right?
Anyways, here are five funny ones that I saved while...

Soaking: An Unheeded Secret
This morning, my mother shared with me something out of Oswald Chambers that I thought was really good. A few weeks ago I wrote a post about “That Next Thing,” and received a surprisingly large response. I was disheartened, because it seemed like while Satan takes joy in deceiving us, I didn’t have a really amazing solution. However, I got excited when I read this:
We have to...

A Racist America?
I read an interesting thought today….
Since race continues to be such an impacting factor in the current administration and present Congress leadership, it sadly proves that America must not be ready for an African-American President.
While that is an inflammatory statement that is derogatory to basic American principle, lately it seems to have truth. We have seen multiple times now...

Rush Limbaugh on the Today Show
As many of you know, I like Rush Limbaugh.
The Today Show interviewed him and featured the interview in two parts on October 12 and October 13. Pretty fun interview. Love him or hate him, he pulls it off.

That Next Thing...
Monday, October 12, 2009
Dear Rhett…
Do you ever find yourself looking forward to that “next thing,” and then being totally disappointed when that “next thing” occurs in the most dull, anticlimactic fashion? I’ve experienced that a whole lot this week just personally in things I was looking forward to…
I sent a well-written letter to someone asking...

Isaiah 53:10
“Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.”
Stop and think about the depth such a phrase: “Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him…”
That is so horrid yet so beautiful and powerful.
The...

Why Obama Should Decline the Nobel Peace Prize...
There is a huge uproar over the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama. He was nominated only days after he won the election in January. Unfortunately, he hasn’t done anything to really bring about peace. There is an endless list of policies he has ATTEMPTED to instate…but few have actually had the chance to succeed.
I’ve come up with the most amazing PR...

I Want You to Want Me
Selfish, eh?
This afternoon, I received a desperate phone call from one of our Vice-Presidents pleading for me to work a miracle on his failing laptop (a PC). Unfortunately, I couldn’t do anything remotely from home, so I hopped in the car and drove all the way to the office forty minutes away. Three hours and a Chick-fil-a sandwich later, I had fixed the computer.
When I got home, Mom...

Wrestlicious - the American Dream?
I just read this article…
Jay Vargas was only 19 last year when he won $35.3 million in the Powerball jackpot. He lived in South Carolina and worked a no-end-in-sight construction job. At the time, he lived on his own, went to school, worked and paid his own rent, he said. Life was hard.
Then his numbers came in. His life forever changed.
“I was living large, at first,” he...
