May I rant for just a few seconds? When you’re driving down a busy, congested road (like Oak Street in Conway), and the traffic is so backed up that you can’t get through the intersection while the light is green, then don’t stop in the middle of the intersection and get stuck there during a red light. It only makes the congestion worse…
This has been a complimentary public service announcement.
Thank you, drive thru…*
* Actually, don’t drive thru, if the intersection is backed up.
I came across some video parodies of the Mac vs PC commercials, which instead discuss Creationism vs Evolution. While these do make a point, they aren’t a full debate on either side, so don’t get your feathers ruffled if you disagree. Besides, if you believe complete evolution, it’s not like this is your religion, that you should get all offended if someone disagrees. (Right?) This is humor — laugh and move on. (Thank you, drive thru…)
First up, is theory:
Next is evidence:
Last but not least, hope:
I try to do what’s right in life. But tonight, I might have sinned.
I have some neighbors who like to sit outside, especially during these fall temperatures. And I try to not provoke my neighbors to jealousy or envy. But tonight I decided anyway to grill burgers and hot dogs. That’s one of those situations where the neighbors would smell the meat grilling and realize it’s better than whatever they’re having. I didn’t mean any harm, though…
The Bible has answers for all of life’s problems, if you dig deep enough. Just to illustrate how extensive its in-depth coverage is, let me present an example you might not have noticed before. Did you know the Bible tells us that meat is better than vegetables? Yeah, it’s true. Check this out, from Proverbs 15:17:
Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened calf with hatred.
That is, you’d rather have a fattened calf (meat) for your meal, but if it comes with hatred, it would be better to eat a less desirable meat-less salad if there was love with it. (Yeah, you have to parse it, and it’s just an implication, but it’s good enough for me.)
Now, I realize this isn’t an issue to most people. But just in case it was, now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
(Please note that I’m taking a somewhat humorous approach to this, if it wasn’t obvious.)
I have just come across the best weight-loss plan ever. It’s not like most of the other ones you hear about. There are all kinds of books and videos about how to lose weight, and some programs even provide you with the food you should eat. There are plans that tell you to not eat carbs, or to not eat certain other foods. There are drugs for sale to make you lose weight regardless of your lifestyle. (And if those drugs do work some, they can’t be healthy for you. I’ve seen one commercial that says a certain percentage of each pound you lose is fat; but what is the rest of it?)
Most of those plans cost money to participate in, and while they may work for a while, they don’t keep working after you get off of them. I’ve heard that most people gain the weight back after these special “crash” diets.
I’ve found a weight loss plan that works and it actually saves you money. Yeah, you read that right. It costs less to follow this program than it does to eat like you are now. I know, this may sound too good to be true, but hear me out.
By now, you’re probably wondering what the catch is. But there’s not one. It really is the best plan, in that you will lose weight, you will save money, and you’ll develop a healthier lifestyle. Do you want to know what it is?
EAT LESS,
EXERCISE MORE.
What do you think about that? There are no enrollment fees, no monthly fees to pay, no special foods to buy, no personal trainer to pay. And it’s scientifically proven to work! If you consume less calories than normal and burn more calories than normal, you will lose weight. And you can make this a normal part of your lifestyle, so the results are permanent. And by eating less, you are saving money. So it’s a win-win situation.
Now isn’t that simple? All it takes is some self-discipline…
