did you know these facts ?

DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?

I SURE DIDNT TILL NOW

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!

Make a personal reflection about this….
Very interesting, read until the end….
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man sow,
that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women
who mocked God :

John Lennon (Singer):

Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:

‘Christianity will end, it will disappear.

I do not have to argue about

that. I am certain.

Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him’ (1966).

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):

During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.

Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.

Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):

During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),

while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:’God, that’s for you.
‘

He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.

The man who built the Titanic

After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.

With an ironic tone he said:

‘Not even God can sink it’

The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic

Marilyn Monroe (Actress)

She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.

He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.

After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:

‘I don’t need your Jesus’.

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment

Bon Scott (Singer)

The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC.
On one of his 1979 songs he sang:

‘Don’t stop me; I’m going down all the way, down the highway to hell’.

On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Campinas (IN 2005)

In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend…..

The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:

‘My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.
She responded: ‘Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here…..It’s Already Full ‘

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,

the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact.
To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken
Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.

In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
PS: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone

So are you going to have courage to send this?.
I have done my part, Jesus said

‘If you are embarrassed about me,

I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.
You are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this.
No way!

I’M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T.D. Jakes ’8 Second Prayer.
‘ Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!

‘Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
‘

Pass this message to 8 people {EXCEPT YOU AND ME}.You will receive a miracle tomorrow.
I Hope that you don’t ignore and
let God bless you.

dumbest blonde joke of the day

Three blonde friends died together in a car wreck. They found themselves standing in front of the pearly gates with St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter heaven, they had to tell him what Easter was about.

The first blonde said, “Easter is a big holiday where we give thanks, have a big feast and eat turkey.”

“Nooooo,” said St. Peter. “You don’t get in.”

The second blonde said, “Easter is the holiday that we celebrate Jesus’ being born of the virgin and give gifts to each other.”

“Nooooo,” said St. Peter. “You don’t get in, either.”

The third blonde said, “Well, I know what Easter is all about. Easter is a Christian holiday which coincides with the Jewish Passover. After Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples, He was betrayed by Judas and turned over to the Romans. They crucified Him on a cross. After He died, they buried him in a tomb and put a huge boulder in front of it.”

“Very good!” said St. Peter.

The blonde continued. “Now, every year, the Jews roll the stone away and Jesus comes out. If He sees his shadow, we have 6 more weeks of basketball.”

St. Peter fainted!

July 4th family gathering at Mt. Cheaha

All today spent July 4th at Mt. Cheaha state park close to Oxford, Alabama. My family rented one of those stone pavilions for the day, and we had our own private place to gather. It was really nice, we had our own restrooms as well as area to park, lounge, etc. The other pavilions were situated next to us, needless to say were not so lucky they had to walk or drive over to our pavilion to use our facilities.

Today was in the 90s, but it wasn’t so bad. The wind blew through the pavilion so it made things cool. We bought barbque from Dad’s Barbque a local restaurant well known for the best barbque in Anniston. They have something for everyone including ribs, barbque sandwiches, pork, beef, chicken, etc.. They even have wonderful pies too. Later on in the day everyone went out to view the sights, including the tower and ledges, etc.

Tonight after eating more barbque, we all went back to the hotel and gathered around to chit chat. Afterwards went to get to our car and there was a kitten that found his way up in the engine. So we had to find a way to get him out. Successfully got him/her out, but he/she ran away before we could catch him. Then we saw some professional fireworks being presented..beautiful show ! Went home, now I’m tired.

Waterloo Band loved my pictures of the show

June 7th, 2008 I saw ABBA: The Show a musical tour performed by the coverband group Waterloo Band. Only a few surviving members of the actual ABBA group were there to perform. So days later I uploaded pictures I took during the show on my Myspace website. Today I got a comment from someone who owns their Myspace profile that they saw all the pictures of I took of them. All I can say is WOW !!! I was happy they saw my pictures of them and took the time to comment.

Spore Creatures for the DS

I reserved my copy of Spore Creatures for the DS lite today at my local Gamestop. It has a slightly different play than the PC version will be meaning it will focus on the creatures. So now wait in anticipation for the next two months until I get my hands on it. I also reserved another game for the DS as well. Final Fantasy IV. I then bought Final Fantasy Tactics A2, because while I was on a Final Fantasy shopping spree why not by another game in the series… Both already have 5 star ratings so I am hoping it will be sweet.
You know how sometimes when you purchase a game that you think will be sooooo cool you just can’t wait to get it home and play ? Well sometimes those games can turn out to be terrible graphics / story / gameplay wise. I just hope this won’t turn out to be like that. But I already made the purchase and I’m sticking to it. If by chance I don’t like any of the games, of course I can always trade them in for other games at Gamestop. I suppose it’s the buyer’s remorse thing kicking in, I will just have to wait and see what happens.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

I watched this funny movie today called Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. For those of you who do not know who Borat is, let me describe briefly. Borat is a movie about a guy from Kazakhstan who travels across the US with a camera filming a documentary. While in a hotel room he sees an episode of Baywatch and then he falls head over heels with Pamela Anderson. Then on he is determined to make Pamela Anderson his wife.  This movie is sooooo funny, I would rank it on up there with the American Pie movies that’s how funny it is.
