Thought free tidbits for Thursday! I know I’ve been pouring it on lately wit
h serious stuff here and serious stuff there. But today I want to just kick back and share a list of genuinely useless information that will most likely do nothing more than amuse if it even does that. I found these nuggets out on a website that had supposedly short, funny stories. If you Google a search on “useless information”, you come up with 1
,280,000 hits out on the information highway or internet as it is commonly called. That pretty much sums up what these tidbits are all about.
I do pray that you have had a good week thus far and that you’ve taken time to look around and find all the things you have to be thankful for. I am scheduled to teach at the African American Church tonight as well as this next Sunday and I’ve been working on some lessons about the challenges involved in living life by the Book. Sometimes we think we are mostly challenged when we are dealing with trials, troubles, and difficulties. However, I believe living by the Book is a 24x7 calling that is difficult in this world in the good, the bad, the ugly, the ver
y best, and all other times we experience. But, that’s a topic for another day. Now let me move on to the entertainment portion of today’s blog. In passing, I have no idea how these so-called facts were sourced, so be aware they may or may not be true. May God bless and I’ll see what I can find for Friday. …More later.
