Amazing Animals — And No Bull!

Amazing!

This is quite interesting.

An example of how the brains of some animals are hard wired.

The bull does not recognize anything below a certain height as threatening.

Who would have thought this would be the case?

 If I ever find myself in a bull ring, I will know exactly what to do.

Did anyone know this?  I didn’t.  Enjoy the video.

A New Experience — Drag Racing in NC!

Friends: Linda and I are in the NC mountains for a few days’ vacation. We went to a drag race the other night, primarily so we could watch the fireworks show at the end. The fireworks were put on at 10 pm after about 10 different drag races. As we were leaving, we were asked, “Why are you leaving? Now it’s time for the ‘big boys’ to race?!” Here are two videos I took. Enjoy!

The Theology of Calvin . . . and Hobbes (Entertainment)

What is entertainment? Entertainment is not wrong. Living one’s life for entertainment is wrong and a waste of one’s life. I believe it was Norman Cousins who said, “If and when American society collapses, historians of a future date will look back and say, ‘They entertained themselves to death!” Your thoughts?

The Theology of Calvin . . . and Hobbes (Reading)

How’s your attitude toward reading, if you don’t mind my asking? It is so much easier to let the blue light of the TV wash over us, stealing away our minutes and hours and . . . lives.  I’m not anti-entertainment, and I do think there’s a lot of enjoyment in reading. Most of us are not in danger of the following classic librarian’s curse:

For him that stealeth a Book from this Library, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck with Palsy, and all his Members blasted. Let him languish in Pain crying aloud for Mercy and let there be no surcease to his Agony till he sink in Dissolution. Let Bookworms gnaw his Entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not, and when at last he goeth to his final Punishment, let the flames of Hell consume him for ever and aye.

The Theology of Calvin . . . and Hobbes (Role Models)

We need good role models, don’t we? And we won’t usually get solid role models from the entertainment world! It’s one of the many reasons why we need God’s Word, the Bible. And we need real life, godly, consistent human examples before us. And that’s you . . . and me!
