The more I watch Browns games, the more I wonder I think I suffer from self-abuse I have 30 books sitting in a pile, recently purchased, and currently unread With the way my year has been going, I have forgotten what it felt like to smile and laugh India on my mind; My mind on India Looking back, India was well worth the trip Ever notice there is almost always a break-up between The Bachelor or Bachelorette and the winner of that TV contest? Hard to believe that doesn't work out. Best new TV shows this past year was The Flash and Blackish Anything really good ever happen between the hours of two to four AM? God does show up in the most unexpected of places Other times, it can be hard to see where God is When did we become a society of parrots rather than deep thinkers? Three things I would love to do: Have my own sports talk show on radio or podcast; own a comic book store; and host a horror movie show on TV I want to be the kind of Christian that makes the devil work ...
