- Announcement heard today: "Students and staff, we're going down slowly. It's not your computer, it's the county." Sounds about right, and there's nothing you can do about it.
- Kindergartner asked: "Where did everything come from?" Heck if I know.
- We learned that we had the world's most boring speaker at the school assemblies today.
- Women love gossips. Hearing, talking and spreading them. I'd rather daydream.
- We survived 8 years of Bush, you too will survive Obama.
- I started running again exactly a year ago. The key for me is to maintain a balance and keeping it fun while motivating myself every day. I also try not to take it too seriously like a lot of runners tend to do. If it ain't fun, make it so. Or else, what's the point, right?
- If it's not fun-change it. If it's not funny-mock it. If it's not working-make it.
- Prayer=Glorified Begging. 50% is still your best chance when you pray.
- Have a happy National Day of Reason:
“A secular democracy should have no place for a National Day of Prayer proclaimed and conducted by government. The federal government is supposed to show no favor among religions, or between religion and irreligion, and surely a National Day of Prayer is contrary to that fundamental principle. The National Day of Reason is important for two reasons. First, it is a private grassroots initiative, not a government program. Second, the National Day of Reason is important because unlike prayer, reason works. Most of the great cultural and technological advances that make modern life what it is exist because human beings employed reason. Prayer has had a far less enviable track record.”
Ronald A. Lindsay, CFI’s president and CEO, added “Reason can unite both the religious and nonreligious. Indeed, it is only through the use of reason that we can find common ground and solve the problems that confront all of us. Prayer divides, not only the religious from the nonreligious, but as history has demonstrated, one religion from another.”
