PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION:
WELCOME TO THE SHOW!
I worked really hard last night to come up with this – and I’m excited that it’s now ready to go. It’s the (JOCK SHOW) Play At Home Game! It comes complete with everything you see here. Including a tiny microphone, a tiny pair of headphones, and a tiny boss holding a tiny cattle prod.
BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
“Oh, the depth and riches of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out.” --Romans 11:33 New International Version
Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. — Psalm 90:2 and 4
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor. — Ecclesiastes 7:12
HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE, PRAYER & THOUGHT
(From VerseOfTheDay.com)
Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. — Ephesians 5:15
Thought: Living with urgency doesn't mean living recklessly. It means living with a holy abandon to honor God and with a holy passion to make each moment count for righteousness. That means we must be intentional about our choices, taking care that we use our moments wisely as we live a life of character different from the world around us because we are dedicated to Jesus.
Prayer: Fill me with wisdom, O God, that I may honor you with my choices and use of time today and everyday. Protect me from the deceptive influences of the evil one and grant me a holy and productive use of the time you bless me with each day. In the name of Jesus my Lord, I pray. Amen.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
Why do we call someone who'll write almost anything for money a "hack?"
Well it's not because they sometimes feel like taking an axe to their clients. The origin of the word lies not in a sharp temper--or wit--but rather in the animal kingdom. Hack is short for "hackney," a word that since the 13th century has meant an ordinary horse, an animal that was not a thoroughbred or war horse used by a knight but rather just an everyday nag useful for mundane tasks. In other words, a horse that did the drudge work. After a century or so the word also came into use for a horse that could be hired out. By the 16th century it was being applied to people who did work for hire. Two hundred years later hackney became hack. So if you're a hack, you're considered "nobody." I hope that doesn't hack you off!

NEW NEWS KICKERS…
Police in Connecticut (Manchester) arrested two people after an argument at a buffet got out of hand. Police say an argument over crab legs at the buffet escalated into a physical confrontation. One of the suspects lost a tooth. ***WhichI’d suspect would make it difficult to eat those crab legs you were arguing over–soI guess the other guy wins!
A survey of cell phone users found that almost nine in 10 say they encounter others using those phones in an annoying way but only 8 percent thought their own use of cell phones is sometimes rude. ***It’s the exact same ratio as people who think they are great drivers while all other drivers are idiots.
Two men arrested after a traffic stop in Florida recently were found to be carrying more than 500 grams of cocaine wrapped up in a cereal box. ***Now THAT is whatI call Frosted Flakes!
A new underwater Airbnb has visitors literally sleeping with the fishes. According to ABC, the web site that lets you rent rooms worldwide now offers a bedroom inside a shark tank at an Aquarium in Paris, France. The room is surrounded by the glass walls of a tank that is home to 35 sharks. ***Unfortunately, all that water means while you’re in bed you always have the urge to pee.
Schools around the country are adding yoga programs, which have proven to help reduce students’ stress and anxiety levels. But Bullard Elementary School in Kennesaw, Georgia, has decided to make changes to its yoga classes after Christian parents complained about the Hindu origins of the exercises. *** Yet these are the same people that are completely fine on Halloween giving kids candy in out of their car trunks in the church parking lot.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie claims that Donald Trump is “not a racist.” ***Gee, I wonder who Donnie might be considering as a VP.
NEWS KICKER EVERGREENS…
Medical research from leading hospitals and universities across the U.S. has shown conclusively a belief in God really IS good for you, making you healthier and happier, and helping you live longer. Duke University’s Harold G. Koenig, M.D. say "Studies have shown prayer can prevent people from getting sick — and when they do get sick, prayer can help them get better faster.” After an exhaustive analysis of more than 1,500 reputable medical studies, Dr. Koenig found that the studies “indicates people who are more religious and pray more have better mental and physical health.” ***MARLAR: On the reverse, people who are anti-religious seem to get sick at people even talking about God–but that’slikely a personality problem.
Ever thrown money around when an attractive woman was watching? Men are more generous around attractive women, according to a recent study. British researchers found that men contributed more winnings to charity when they were being watched by a beautiful woman than when they were playing alone or being watched by another man. Men may be showing off to potential mates according to the report. ***MARLAR: In other words, “Hey, Baby – here’s how much money I could be blowing on YOU instead of these ORPHANS…”
Swedish scientists say they have developed a way to keep people from remembering horrible events. ***MARLAR: Here in America we already have that – it's called Happy Hour.
A Norwegian study has found that divorce rates are far higher among “modern” couples who share the housework than in those where the woman does the lion’s share of the chores. In what appears to be a slap in the face for gender equality, the report found the divorce rate among couples who shared housework equally was around 50 per cent higher than among those where the woman did most of the work. ***MARLAR: Yess! Validation for my lifestyle!
