Project 365: 70 'Tile', originally uploaded by ninelives.1972.

This is the tile my brother-in-law and I installed today on our countertop in our attic. Tomorrow I will be grouting and finishing the plumbing.

I'm a Tropicana Juicy Rewards Insider!

Everyday Baby Steps - 10 hours 20 min ago

I'm happy to announce that I've been chosen to participate as an ambassador to spread the word about Tropicana's new Juicy Rewards program. Tropicana is one my favorites, and if it's one of yours as well you'll want to sign up for this program. The Juicy Rewards program allows you to enter codes from bottles or cartons of Tropicana juices and redeem them for points.

What can you do with your points? Lots of things! First, enter your zip code or geographic area to search for rewards close to you. Next, you can browse rewards or search by type of reward. There are coupons and discounts to all sorts of things like events, spa/massage packages, theme parks, and home services. There's something for everyone.

So if you're buying orange juice anyway, why not reward yourself? I can tell you that I'll likely be redeeming my points for that massage! Look for updates in future posts to see how I spend my rewards. Feel free to look around the Juicy Rewards site and tell me, how would you spend yours? Sign up and enter the code MOMCE-NTRAL, and you'll receive 1 free bonus point.

I wrote this review while participating in the Tropicana Juicy Insiders Ambassador program by Mom Central on behalf of Tropicana. I received 12 free Juicy Rewards points and a $50 Visa gift card to use in redemption of the points and to facilitate my review.

Bayonetta Vs Dante

Factpile - 15 hours 39 min ago
Suggested by ZomBninjasamurai Making her FactPile debut is the gun-toting witch Bayonetta. Matched up against site favorite Dante from the Devil May Cry series, this makes for an interesting match. I confess that I haven’t played Bayonetta at all so I don’t know too much more about what her powers are. However, Dante has proven before that [...]

The New Testament Challenge Companion--Day 46!

One Person at a Time - 18 hours 42 sec ago

Thursday, March 11, 2010 Reading for the Day John 1-2 and Hebrews 3-4 Focus on John 1:1

Jehovah’s Witnesses focus on John 1:1 as a verse in Scripture that shows Jesus wasn’t THE God, but that Jesus is "a god".  They make this statement based on their reading of the original Greek text of John 1:1.  In English we typically read:  In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  The Jehovah’s Witnesses “translate” it: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was a god.  They translate it this way because the word God in the Greek doesn’t have a definite article—a “the” in front of it, as it frequently does in the New Testament.  The problem with their translation is that we find many other places in the New Testament where the word God appears without a definite article and there is absolutely no doubt that those verses refer to the one, true and living God.  We can’t simply pick and choose when the word means God and when it means a god for the sake of our opinions.   The founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses couldn’t even read Greek, and yet he provided an English “translation” from it.  As followers of Jesus we don’t have to learn Greek in order to understand the Bible, but what we must do as we read God’s word in English is recognize that EVERY English translation is a commentary.  It shows the assumptions and sometimes the theology of the translators.  I like to compare several English translations when I'm reading the Bible, because then I get a fuller understanding of a text.  Since, I can read Greek, I’ll get out the Greek Bible when I have questions and see if the original language sheds any light.  Thankfully, the original language does NOT confirm the Jehovah’s Witnesses assumption that Jesus is merely a god instead of THE God.  As followers of Jesus, who believe that Jesus IS fully God and fully human, it’s important for us to understand the strong case that John chapter one makes for that truth!

Heavenly Father, Thank You for sending Jesus as the Word who became flesh and lived among us! Thank You for revealing Yourself to us in such a clear and helpful way.  Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may, also reveal You to others through Your love and grace in me.  This I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Wednesday Weigh In #Lifechange

Wednesday Weigh In #Lifechange, originally uploaded by ninelives.1972.

186

Okay, obviously beer, fish, and pizza help me loose weight. Seriously, we ate out everymeal this past weekend. But I did pay attention to what I ordered and ate. For example, at Willies (a local pub) I usually would order a large fish sandwich, I ordered a small and still walked out satisfied. At AppleBees I chose the 7 ounce steak instead of the 10, & the steamed veggies instead of the baked potato loaded with butter & sour cream. I also have been working a ton in the attic attempting to finish things up. I'm happy to finally be a loser. Even if it is only a few pounds.

That Massa is quite zany, and he's the latest example of the problems with commenting on what you read.

The truth is never easy to ascertain. I'm just looking for a good laugh anymore.

FactPile Flag

This conversation started in an older post “What Gives?!” and there were some great suggestions in there. Consider this to be the OFFICIAL thread on all things regarding how we will make the flag that represents this site. To be fair, we’ll let this run for a bit of time before we make some hard decisions [...]

War Vs Kratos

Factpile - Wed, 03/10/2010 - 5:00am
Suggested by Hitman H94 Here we have War from Darksiders making his FactPile debut against Kratos in what is certainly no easy match for either combatant. While I think War would be able to dish out some major blows, Kratos is just too much for him to handle. Kratos wins this match in 3 rounds. What say you?
