Pennies make da wallet fat

Actually remember that year, but not because of the Knicks. I lived in North Carolina and the Hornets had Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, J.R. Reid, Mugsy Bogues, Dell Curry....and a point guard who would go on to coach UVA named Tony Bennett. Former Hokie Alan Bristow was the coach. They beat the Celtics in the first round, then faced the Knicks, who beat them 4-2. Knicks then faced Michael Jordan and the Bulls in the finals and the Bulls prevailed over Pat Ewing and Co...

A woman from my church has been praying for her husband's salvation for 31 years. Yesterday, he received Jesus as his Savior! And asked his wife to forgive him for his verbal abuse. God changed his heart. Glory be to God!

On November 16th, 2006, mechanic Bruce Van Natta went to his job working on massive logging trucks. Like any other day. But it would become the most incredible 9 months he'd ever known. He was just about to head home when the truck driver asked him to inspect one more leak under the engine block. The 10,000-pound truck was already jacked and one tire removed. Van Natta slipped under feet first to begin his inspection. A second later, the 20-ton jack snapped out of position, collapsing the cab across Bruce's midsection. Crushed him in half. In the brief moments of consciousness Bruce tried to wriggle free and cried out to God for help. Then he blacked out. Or did he? When Bruce came to he was standing over his own body. Saw the truck driver doing what he could until paramedics arrived. But there was something strange. Two shiny figures 8-feet tall stood over Bruce touching his midsection where the truck had smashed him. They were doing something he couldn't see, their arms wrapped up under the cab of the truck and beside the waist of his body. Bruce says, "I was definitely on the very edge of life and death. There were two thoughts in my head. One was, 'Shut your eyes and give up and die. You are just going to go to heaven anyway.' It was very loud. There was another voice in my head, much quieter. Much more of a whisper, 'If you want to live, you’re going to have to fight and you are going to have to fight hard.' The next thing I knew, my spirit went back down into my body just like a shot." He was flown by life flight to the nearest hospital, and doctors were certain he would never survive. Bruce's ribcage, pancreas, spleen, and 75% of his small intestine were near pulverized, and five major arteries had been severed. He had to undergo 5 major surgeries, all of which Bruce somehow survived. Surgeons removed all but 100cm of the intestine and did what they could to salvage his other organs. Bruce went from 180lbs to 126lbs, was promised months and months of therapy, and told he would have to find some way to live without his intestine. But God wasn't done with Bruce yet. "The Lord woke up a man in New York two days in a row. Someone that I met one time on vacation. He came and prayed for me in the hospital. Put his palm on my forehead, and when he prayed, he prayed the way Jesus taught us to pray. He spoke to the mountain, in this case my small intestine, 'I command you to supernaturally grow back length in the name of Jesus Christ.' When he did, I felt like 220 volts come out of his palm into my forehead, right into my body. I could feel my intestines moving around and up and down." When able to eat on his own again, Bruce regained 170lbs, astonishing the doctors. So they did X rays of his abdomen and found that his small intestine had not only returned, it DOUBLED in length. Almost 9 feet of small intestine. That's not all. "Over and over, the Lord kept confounding the doctors from the point of saying I shouldn’t lived. I should have bled to death. My intestines miraculously coming back. God was showing miracles were happening. My pancreas rejuvenated by itself. My spleen rejuvenated by itself. Miracle after miracle, God just showing up and showing Himself very real and very strong. He is a miracle worker." Bruce founded SweetBread Ministries and wrote a book, 𝘚𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘴. I don't have enough faith to be an atheist.

DISGUSTING Sacramento City Councilor and Congressional candidate Mai Vang, REFUSED to say the Pledge and TURNED HER BACK on the American Flag Her election is next week Don’t let this anti-American lunatic anywhere near Congress

@DaveScarangella Love it Dave!!

Wife complained I was wearing too many old shirts, so after the 1996 Orange Bowl one yesterday, I've decided to wear one I know to be four years newer :)

@DaveScarangella Was there when TGray and Banks both stormed the offensive line and that back galloped through the gaping hole effectively ending our chances in that game. That’s when we learned we didn’t have the horses like we needed and started building bigger and stronger

Was digging around the back of the closet and found this to wear today. Seems like they just played the game a few years ago :)

Love Jimmy’s Seafood’s posts. This is absolute common sense.

Remember the guy who wouldn't take the flag pole down on his Virginia property awhile back? You might remember the news story several months ago about a crotchety old man in Virginia who defied his local Homeowners Association and refused to take down the flag pole on his property along with the large American flag he flew on it. Now we learn who that old man was. On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg, Texas . That probably didn't make news back then. But twenty five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Cyrano, Italy, That same Van T. Barfoot, who had in 1940 enlisted in the U.S. Army, set out alone to flank German machine gun positions from which gunfire was raining down on his fellow soldiers. His advance took him through a minefield but having done so, he proceeded to single-handedly take out three enemy machine gun positions, returning with 17 prisoners of war. And if that weren’t enough for a day's work, he later took on and destroyed three German tanks sent to retake the machine gun positions. That probably didn’t make much news either, given the scope of the war, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a Colonel after also serving In Korea and Vietnam , a well deserved Congressional Medal of Honor. What did make news was his Neighborhood Association's quibble with how the 90-year-old Veteran chose to fly the American flag outside his suburban Virginia home. Seems the HOA rules said it was OK to fly a flag on a house-mounted bracket, but, for decorum, items such as Barfoot's 21-foot flagpole were "unsuitable." Van Barfoot had been denied a permit for the pole, but erected it anyway and was facing Court action unless he agreed to take it down. Then the HOA story made national TV, and the Neighborhood Association rethought its position and agreed to indulge this aging hero who dwelt among them. "In the time I have left", he said to the Associated Press, "I plan to continue to fly the American flag without interference." As well he should. And if any of his neighbors had taken a notion to contest him further, they might have done well to read his Medal of Honor citation first. Seems it Indicates Mr. Van Barfoot wasn't particularly good at backing down. If you've read this post and don't share it, - Guess what -You need your butt kicked. I share this with you because I don't want MY butt kicked anymore and I'm tired of seeing those who hate our country yet march in our streets, tear down our statues, burn our stores and loot our businesses have a free hand to do whatever they want. WE ONLY LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE! AND, BECAUSE OF BRAVE OLD MEN LIKE VAN BARFOOT!

@RealHacksawJim I used to love going to those little auction houses. We used to go to one in Abingdon,VA. You see some wild stuff for auction at those.

We found a neat little auction house in the historic town of Ridgeway, SC! A different way to spend a weekend afternoon!
