The photograph purportedly showing a “frozen spider web” actually shows an ice sculpture created by Kenyan journalist and sculptor Michael Kaloki and Timo Koivisto of Finland in 2011 for the Art Meets Ice competition at the Helsinki Zoo.

Good morning (or good night, whichever suits)! I was reminded – on Facebook of all places – of this excellent Bible passage (Philippians 4):
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

John 11:35 “Jesus wept”. The shortest verse in the bible and perhaps the most meaningful.
I know I have made Christ weep so I don’t post the verse in judgment but rather in true sadness that our pope has politicized his holy seat. I am disappointed in the man.

It’s obvious you haven’t driven to Florida during love bug season. They are small black flying insects, about the size of flies, that hook up end to end to mate and fly around. That is why they are called love bugs. They get very thick in the air at this time and they cover the front of the car as you drive and hit them. You have to clean them off the windshield every so often to even be able to see. And, you don’t DARE run the windshield wipers. That just smears bug guts so thick you can’t see. They guts will damage the paint on the car if they are not cleaned off pretty soon.

I don’t even want notices given. I just want them to go hunting, at this point.
If your pants are down so far that half your underpants are visible, you’re a target.
If one of your pant legs is hiked up to the knee, while the other one is down, you’re a target.
If you dress and comport yourself like Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell, you’re not.
Easy to live… or Eazy-E, to die.
In my dream world, living the stereotype would have severe consequences.

Apple just dropped a bombshell about the FBI’s ongoing investigation of the iPhone that belonged to San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook.
During a conference call with reporters on Friday afternoon, Apple executives who requested anonymity revealed that the Apple ID password associated with the recovered iPhone in the case had been changed “less than 24 hours after the government took possession of the device,” reports BuzzFeed News.
