This is one of those stories.It started in Winchester, Massachusetts, 43 years ago, when Rick Hoyt was born. Somehow his umbilical cord became wrapped around his neck, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs.The doctors told Rick's parents that he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life. But Dick Hoyt, Rick's father, didn't believe it. He noticed the way Rick's eyes followed him around the room. When Rick was 11 they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University and asked if there was anything to help the boy communicate. "No way,'' Dick says he was told. "There's nothing going on in his brain.'' "Tell him a joke,'' Dick countered. They did. Rick laughed.Turns out a lot was going on in his brain. Rigged up with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor by touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able to communicate. First words? "Go Bruins!'' And after a high school classmate was paralyzed in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out, "Dad, I want to do that.'' Yeah, right. How was Dick, a self-described "porker'' who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. "Then it was me who was handicapped,'' Dick says. "I was sore for two weeks.''That day changed Rick's life. "Dad,'' he typed, "when we wererunning, it felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!''And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon. "No way,'' Dick was told by a race official. The Hoyt's weren't quite a single runner, and they weren't quite a wheelchair competitor. So, for the first few years, Dick and Rick just joined the massive field and ran anyway.Later, they would find a way to get into the race officially: In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the qualifying time for Boston the following year.Then somebody said, "Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon?'' How's a guy who never learned to swim and hadn't ridden a bike since he was six going to haul his 110-pound kid through a triathlon?Still, Dick tried.Now they've done 212 triathlons, including four grueling 15-hour Ironman Competitions in Hawaii. This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992 - only 35 minutes off the world record, which, in case you don't keep track of these things, happens to be held by a guy who was not pushing another man in a wheelchair at the time.&lt;a name="video"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;But to really appreciate the greatness of this love story, you have to watch the following video... presented here, courtesy of YouTube.

several weeks,its been crazy busy, from church activities,to family affairs to soul searching..ask why? i have been soo sad with my walk with our Lord Jesus Christ, I haven't reading much and soaking myself with GOD's omnipresence, just keep stalling around and been soo stagnant deep inside, i need some holy spirit filling or else i'll be spiritually dead and i dont want that to happen.Been feeling pretty damn stupid trying to force myself to get in tune with GOD,but alot of disturbances deep down inside that a stupid ME allowed to manipulate ME again..Trying to get some solutions from pretty substandard resources (you know what im sayin?) let me point it out, been soo much busy with my laptop,trying to watch too much TV and hey ive been into gluttony lately..which is a pretty BIG sin..i let those things that i mentioned consumed me.and you know what its pretty darn good but its not fulfilling.&lt;br /&gt;Now i came to realized that those are the things that stop me from being more intimate with my LORD and SAVIOUR.&lt;br /&gt;I came to realized that i settle for lesser things, things that the world offered which i know its very tempting to give in..(ive been there) those are the things that stop me from looking at the bigger picture.those silly substitutes makes me realized that only GOD can fill those holes in our lives, we are designed to have holes that everytime we leaks we need some filling from our GOD. but? we always look for some substitutes that never really satisfy us?&lt;br /&gt;I pointed out some of the substitutes that i thought would fill me but it didn't...&lt;br /&gt;what about you my friend?&lt;br /&gt;what are those substitutes that you've been trying to patch those leaking holes in your lives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

PRAISE GOD, it has been a great experience for everyone and specially for us, arrived there in quality inn in belville ohio around 4, stayed in room 210 to be exact, the marriage retreat is such a nice way to meet some married couples and build some relationship with them, things that really stands out in me in the retreat is, the atmosphere is great, the retreat is very laid back, and this is not the kind of retreat that teaches people how to be a great husband and how to be a great wife in step by step procedure,(&lt;em&gt;and kinda nudge your wife or husband that did you get it?did you get no.1?2?3?) coz in reality we can't be perfect)&lt;/em&gt; its about knowing who really GOD is and how GOD design marriage.&lt;br /&gt;Now i want to give an illustration,marriage is like a triangle, GOD is on top and husband and wife is on the other side, the more we walk closer to GOD the more we get close to each other, the more we walk away from GOD the more we get too far apart.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

up each morning knowing that ive got to hangout with hubby every minute of the day, he got 3 months leave from work for him to focus more in his final quarter,14 more days and he'll be marching to get his degree.As a wife, his succes is my success too.&lt;br /&gt;In regards with hubby's not working for 3 months some people seems very curious and had the guts to actually ask me, whos paying your bills? your rent? and some silly questions like asking me how much my hubby's income per month?per year? actually its none of their business i think soo,and oh by the way we still live within means and we dont indulge ourselves to buy things which we know for a fact that we can't get it right now, well we dont have &lt;a href="http://www.badcreditoffers.com/"&gt;bad credit credit cards&lt;/a&gt; though,but if you are one of those people who struggle with bad credit history then you should check badcreditoffers.com a site which offers &lt;a href="http://www.badcreditoffers.com/"&gt;credit cards for bad credit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;well i still can say that even though we dont have alot right now but we are storing up treasures in heaven, PRAISE be to GOD for all the things he has done,&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Higher scores indicate an advancement in knowledge, clear and capable thinking, high mental health, and pure thought free of interference. Your mind score is not bad, but could be improved upon. Your mental health is not weak, but you are not achieving full mental clarity and function. Learn how to unclutter your mind.

A healthy body contributes to a happy life, however many of us are lacking in this area. You have a rather good body score, which is an indication that you take care of yourself. There is room for improvement, however. Please keep doing what works. Eat right, exercise, reduce your stress, treat any illness. Doing these things will help ensure your body will be in good working order for a long time to come. &lt;a href="http://www.monkeyquiz.com/life/advice-body.html"&gt;Read advice from other quiz-takers on improving the body.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score is relatively high, which means you are rewarded by your beliefs. Spirituality is clearly important to do. Never let it slip, and continue to learn and grow. &lt;a href="http://www.monkeyquiz.com/life/advice-spirit.html"&gt;Read advice from other quiz-takers on improving the spirit.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Friends/Family: Your friends and family rating measures your relationships with those around you, and is based on how large, healthy, and dependable your social network is. Your friends and family score is not bad but can be improved. Maintain your current social net, while you try to expand it. Try new things and form new friendships. You will be rewarded greatly.Love: Your love rating is a measure of your current romantic situation. Sharing your heart with another person is one of life's most glorious, terrifying, rewarding experiences. Your love score is very high, which means you are in a very happy situation right now. Do all you can to keep it strong. &lt;a href="http://www.monkeyquiz.com/life/advice-love.html"&gt;Read advice from other quiz-takers on finding and maintaining love.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finance: Your finance rating is a score that rates your current financial health and stability.

Focus on long-term financial stability as your goal. &lt;a href="http://www.monkeyquiz.com/life/advice-mind.html"&gt;Read advice from other quiz-takers on improving your finances.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;IM TAGGING EVRYONE IN MY BLOGROLL&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4120780653400063742-6371196027345909901?l=brooksmj.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/feeds/6371196027345909901/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4120780653400063742&amp;postID=6371196027345909901&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/6371196027345909901?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/6371196027345909901?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/brooksmj/~3/3c7HXCnr1Zs/its-my-life.html" title="ITS my LIFE....." /><author><name>Jmb</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="03203604678945782546" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/2008/02/its-my-life.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C04NR3szfSp7ImA9WxZRGU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120780653400063742.post-3225027287919740787</id><published>2008-02-13T11:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-13T11:46:36.585-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-02-13T11:46:36.585-08:00</app:edited><title>hmmm...what do u think?</title><content type="html">i open my blog today and saw some comments of my tagboard, i was suprise, its ridiculous to let you know that i just laugh at it..thank GOD i have been soaked in his words this week about attitude and im learning a lot. so this situation is just a blah for me..&lt;br /&gt;here's the comment that ive got today from someone..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;09167149852: i dont like your blog. it sucks.free yourself from giving me a message in order to make your blog looks good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ccffff;"&gt;im not bragging my blog or anything, but thanks to this person who see the flaws in my blog, im sorry if it did not meet your criteria...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4120780653400063742-3225027287919740787?l=brooksmj.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/feeds/3225027287919740787/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4120780653400063742&amp;postID=3225027287919740787&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/3225027287919740787?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/3225027287919740787?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/brooksmj/~3/EDp-GUHD0Hk/hmmmwhat-do-u-think.html" title="hmmm...what do u think?" /><author><name>Jmb</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="03203604678945782546" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/2008/02/hmmmwhat-do-u-think.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkYDQH48fCp7ImA9WxZRFkQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120780653400063742.post-7890003609061148006</id><published>2008-02-10T18:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-10T18:49:31.074-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-02-10T18:49:31.074-08:00</app:edited><title>clearer view</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vz4uX0JgN64/R6-3i8y1sbI/AAAAAAAAAYo/Hv0t9yjPGjQ/s1600-h/t_543_06.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165549108680044978" style="DISPLAY: block;

Being a recent LEGAL immigrant I can not yet vote, but I am enjoying the process of American politics. Coming from the Philippines we Filipinos are big fans of America, so the outcome for President of the United States is very important. Hubby and I have found that a great way to stay up to date with all the primary happenings,&lt;a href="http://www.electionqlips.com"&gt;ElectionQlips&lt;/a&gt; a fantastic place to get yourself involved in the current affairs of our nation. My husband is a student of American history and he has told me how important it is for every voting citizen to be informed so we can elect quality leaders. The ever-growing way to stay informed in this generation is the world wide web, so log on to ElectionQlips and get yourself ready to vote and vote wisely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://tinyurl.com/2dj9hf" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QlipMedia (http://www.qlipmedia.com) has just launched the public beta version of ElectionQlips (http://www.electionqlips.com), a new destination to discuss all that is Election 2008. Readers can share their comments with the community and leave comments on Presidential Election themed video posts using their recorded voice, free-hand drawing, and images to let everyone know what they think and how they feel about every point in the posted debates, ads, punditry and stump speeches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the nation’s attention increasingly focuses on the outcomes of the ongoing primary elections and the general election to follow this November, viewers of ElectionQlips can stayed tuned to all the exciting action, including voice and video comments of their fellow citizens. And anyone can bring their wit and wisdom to bear on the debate of the moment, commenting to their heart’s content with their own voice and images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blogosphere has always been about giving a voice to common ‘netizens’, while democratizing the dissemination of the news and opinion. But heretofore that voice has been confined to the two dimensional world of the written word. The broad appeal of video has added a third dimension, a layer of contextual relevancy just not possible with the written word alone. Blog commenting has been similarly constrained by the same technical barriers. ElectionQlips brings multimedia blogging full circle, giving blog commenters the ability to post live, multimedia comments right on the videos they’re viewing in their own voice, using their own doodles and images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• 100+ million blogs in existence&lt;br /&gt;• 1.5 million blog posts per day&lt;br /&gt;• 1 blog with multimedia commenting capability&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ElectionQlips users can take their election debate with them by sharing the link and embedding the player anywhere. On the video timeline, it’s easy to bring out all the facts with every detail ofthe debate through point-by-point analysis. The density of comments at every point let’s one see what’s hot and what’s not in every debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goal of ElectionQlips is to make it possible for everyone to participate in any debate, discussion and controversy using their own voice. Commenting on blog posts is a common enough, ElectionQlips gives an edge over other contemporary election blogs, especially with respect to sharing your comments and opinions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About QlipMedia:&lt;br /&gt;QlipMedia makes QlipBoard, a tool that combines videos and images with drawing, highlighting and adds your voice is the easiest way to talk about anything and turn any video into an instant discussion room.

She gave him nothing but the best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through&lt;br /&gt;the difficult times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The girls 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, 'I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'No way!', replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word. His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, 'I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?' 'No!', replied the 3rd boyfriend. 'Life is too good! When you die, I'm&lt;br /&gt;going to marry someone else!' Her heart sank and turned cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, 'I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?'&lt;br /&gt;'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!', replied the 2nd boyfriend. 'At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.' His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The girl looked up, and there was her first boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In truth, you have 4 boyfriend s in your lives:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth.When you die, it will all go to others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you where ever you go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue&lt;br /&gt;with you throughout Eternity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thought for the day:&lt;br /&gt;Remember:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;When the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided&lt;br /&gt;to see beyond the imperfections.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4120780653400063742-3273168799716276731?l=brooksmj.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/feeds/3273168799716276731/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4120780653400063742&amp;postID=3273168799716276731&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/3273168799716276731?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/3273168799716276731?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/brooksmj/~3/fBYj6x41fEQ/read-and-learn.html" title="read and learn" /><author><name>Jmb</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="03203604678945782546" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/2008/01/read-and-learn.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DU8BQH49fCp7ImA9WxZSF00.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120780653400063742.post-8045534955617821259</id><published>2008-01-30T07:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-30T07:44:11.064-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-01-30T07:44:11.064-08:00</app:edited><title>sit back and relax</title><content type="html">The other night as my husband and I were on our way home from church he saw a sheriff pass us in our hometown, and then the sheriff turned around to trail us.  Just as we were turning into our driveway the sheriff turned his flashing lights on.  I was really really scared I didn't know what was happening.  Jacob was calm he knew the exact problem, one of our headlights had gone out that weekend.  I asked him what was wrong a couple times before the sheriff got up to our car window to talk to us and hubby responded its because of the headlight, but I was so worried I didn't even him hear him say that.  I still didn't know what was going on.  Turns out though all it was, was the warning for not having all working lights on the vehicle.  Hubby says getting pulled over by the authorities is a good reminder to keep up with all of the issues a responsible car owner needs to care for.  For one, he got the headlight fixed the next day, two, we are trying to figure out a better deal for our car insurance.  In Ohio not having car insurance can get you in big trouble.  I'm wondering if its the same in California.  Cost-U-Less &lt;a href="http://www.costulessins.com"&gt;drive insurance&lt;/a&gt; is one of Cali's car insurance options.  They have been doing business since 1980 based in Northern California but now Cost-U-Less is expanding all over the state.and if your in Southern california dont worry they have ten locations namely, Anaheim, Palmdale, Long Beach, Whittier, Pomona, Torrance, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Victorville, Tarzana and Lancaster.I know there are a lot of Filipinoes out there on the west coast and obviously many Hispanics too.  So if you are in those groups or just a blond surfer dude with the need to take care of all their car issues look into Cost-U-Less.  For me I'm glad my hubby got pulled over, it helps me realize how important being a responsible driver is.

A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked."Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. ?Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied." The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table.There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies -You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

growing up in the Philippines my family once rented a movie with Sylvester Stalone called Rambo First Blood, we liked it so much we rented Rambo Second Blood. I know what your thinking, thats entertainment with a lot of blood. Its true it was more of a movie just for my Papa to watch, but all my family watched the Rambo movies together so its one of those childhood memory things. Today the new RAMBO movie came out in theatres and I had told my hubby a few weeks ago I wanted to see it. So we made a day of it, we had some Tim Horton donuts, then attended the noon showing of RAMBO on opening day. The movie was the best, hubby is suprised I think that, because he thinks its one of the bloodiest movies he has seen, so he liked it. But I mean the storyline was really inspiring to me. John Rambo is living a very simple life in Thailand. Then a missionary group approaches him to get a boat ride up river into civil-war-torn Burma seeking to help the people there. The boat ride and dangerous trip to Burma was like a "journey of faith" in my mind. I ask myself if God called me to a mission like that would I go? Things go bad for the missionaries and Rambo saves them of course. All I can say, if you can stomach the very heavy violence then this RAMBO movie will push you to ask a lot of big but good questions of yourself. I thank my hubby for taking me to this movie because it reminded me of good moments with my family back in the Philippines and gave me better perspective for my daily life now. Thank God for real life John Rambo's who fight to make this world free.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4120780653400063742-5217492442496255500?l=brooksmj.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/feeds/5217492442496255500/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4120780653400063742&amp;postID=5217492442496255500&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/5217492442496255500?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/5217492442496255500?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/brooksmj/~3/StDCHbrUBkA/live-nothing-die-for-something-from.html" title="Live for nothing Die for something (from the movie RAMBO)" /><author><name>Jmb</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="03203604678945782546" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/2008/01/live-nothing-die-for-something-from.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;AkcNQ388eCp7ImA9WxZSEUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120780653400063742.post-8041992181644287180</id><published>2008-01-24T10:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-24T10:08:12.170-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-01-24T10:08:12.170-08:00</app:edited><title>got awarded...</title><content type="html">&lt;div align="center"&gt;Im thankful that people find this site as a friendly one! and thanks &lt;em&gt;GRACIE&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;RICH&lt;/em&gt; for letting me know that! thanks for the award&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vz4uX0JgN64/R5jSqz23f2I/AAAAAAAAAWs/TtdmeQE9Jnw/s1600-h/friendly%2Bsite%2Baward.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5159105006069579618" style="CURSOR: hand" height="96" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vz4uX0JgN64/R5jSqz23f2I/AAAAAAAAAWs/TtdmeQE9Jnw/s400/friendly%2Bsite%2Baward.jpg" width="146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;now to all my friends in this blogosphere world, you all! are friendly and i treasured you in my heart, you are one of the many reason why im still here in this blogging world..you guys inspire me!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;im passing this award to jenny,matamis,nova,rosemarie&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vz4uX0JgN64/R5jSkD23f1I/AAAAAAAAAWk/r6sUjKedxWw/s1600-h/friendly%2Bsite%2Baward.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4120780653400063742-8041992181644287180?l=brooksmj.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/feeds/8041992181644287180/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4120780653400063742&amp;postID=8041992181644287180&amp;isPopup=true" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/8041992181644287180?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4120780653400063742/posts/default/8041992181644287180?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/brooksmj/~3/2CEiYRb1xQU/got-awarded.html" title="got awarded..." /><author><name>Jmb</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="03203604678945782546" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://brooksmj.blogspot.com/2008/01/got-awarded.html</feedburner:origLink></entry></feed>
