It's done

Well, it was good while it lasted.

 

The Giants suck…still.   We aren’t making the playoffs.  I was suckered in again.  How can they play so well, and then suck so bad?!

 

A buddy of mine told me to just forget about them and the 49ers.  The Barry Bonds deal did him in and he totally gave up on the Giants and 49ers, fantasy baseball and everything!!!  He said life is so great now he doesn’t have to worry about them anymore.

 

I asked him if it hurt when his balls were cut off.

 

Okay, I didn’t ask him, but I was wondering…just kidding, he’s a great guy.  But nevertheless…

Funny Verse Time

So I'm reading 1 John and I come across this totally funny Scripture. I don't think that it was Our Lord's Brother's purpose in writing this, but it comes across a little awkward:

6We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 1 John 4:6

Am I the only one who thinks this could be totally manipulative? "IF you don't listen to us, you must not be from God." HA!!!

I never here this critique of Scripture, cause I'm sure not many non-Christians read that far. But man, that is pretty bad logic. So funny.

Wichita's Biggest Loser

Alright...So the secret is out. I tried and tried to find the original email I sent Mrs. Shideler, but I must have deleted it. Nevertheless, they had an article online and in the Wichita Eagle today.

So funny!!!!

I can totally use the accountability. Enjoy.


Do you have what it takes to be a big 'loser'?
BY KAREN SHIDELER
The Wichita Eagle

Ken Rawson of Wichita came up with an idea: The Eagle, he thinks, should have its own version of television's "The Biggest Loser," and he wants to be a contestant.

"I've got to make a lifestyle change," he wrote. "I have three kids and a sweet wife, and I want to model a healthy lifestyle for them. And the extra accountability could only help."

We think he has a great idea.

Here's what we have in mind:

We'd like to profile five people (Rawson and four others) who are willing to go public with their weight-loss attempts.

We won't make you go through boot camp or use our products and sponsors (heck, we don't even have products and sponsors).

We figure you already know how to lose weight -- eat less, exercise more -- so the particular approach you take is up to you.

We're more interested in how you get to your goal than in how many pounds you lose.

To participate, you must be willing to have your "before" and "after" pictures taken and share your successes (and failures) over three months. We're hoping that might inspire other readers in their own efforts.

If you think going public would help you be accountable, and you'd like to be considered, e-mail Karen Shideler at kshideler@wichitaeagle.com with "weight loss" in the subject line. Include your name, a daytime telephone number, and a few sentences about why we should pick you.

P.S. We don't have a $250,000 grand prize to offer; we think your weight loss is the real payoff. But we will give one of the five -- chosen at random in a drawing -- a $50 gift certificate to go toward clothes in a new size.

Fun story to come later, but for now, I made a new blog for my new journey towards weight loss.
