HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY

I just wanted to take a minute and wish everyone a Happy thanksgiving. As we all sit around the dinner table thinking of all the things we are thankful for, Family, Friends, A job, A place to live, the food on the table that we are about to eat, let's not forget to give thanks for those who are and have served in our military to protect our way of life. Also let's not forget all the Police and fire fighters that are working today to keep us all safe.

Happy thanksgiving everyone

Look out NASCAR

 

DRL: Drone racing league

I wrote this article awhile back, and I must say Drone racing has really gotten even bigger. So I thought I would share this article with all of you. 

That's right the drone now has a racing league, those things we all love to fly is now growing into a major sport.

Although the sport is only about two years old it is growing very fast, and with sponsors like ESPN, Disney XD and the Air Force to name a few, it's a good bet this new sport will be around for awhile.

Now, before you rush out to buy a drone to race in the DRL, you should know that they only allow their drones which they make to be raced. According to the CEO of DRL this is done so it's a level playing field and everyone has a chance. Here is a video of the CEO of DRL and what he had to say.

When it comes to drones, I for one would love to race a drone. Now you don't have to join the DRL to race, just buy your own drone and then go someplace safe and race it or get with friends and everyone can race.

Sleeping

 

America, what will we miss

Well, here it is, my newest digital remix art piece. This was a hard one to do, not because of the technical stuff, but because of the song that inspired this piece. The song really seems to hit me hard.

Title: Sleeping
Inspired by: Casting Crowns / While you were sleeping

Story: The story is simple, just look at the lyrics towards the end of the song:

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night

Watch Out Flash, There's a New Super Hero on the Scene (Sort of)!

 

The Flash, Superman, Spider-Man – we've all got our favorite superheroes. But what if I told you there's a new contender for the title of "fastest man alive," and they're not from a comic book? Forget capes and lasers, this hero is all about hard plastic, rollerblades, and a serious need for speed.

I stumbled upon this incredible feat of human ingenuity while searching for new and extreme sports. Apparently, a daredevil in Europe has created a hard plastic suit with rollerblades attached, allowing him to "fly" down roads at incredibly high speeds, just
inches from the ground. Reports suggest he's reached speeds of up to 80 mph, passing cars and trucks like they're standing still. The videos are mind-blowing!

My initial reaction, like many, was: "How do you stop?" One video showcased a technique that skiers would recognize as "snow plowing." While it doesn't look overly complicated, it's clear that you need a decent amount of space to slow down, especially at those kinds of speeds.

This is the ultimate combination of skateboarding, rollerblading, and street luge. Imagine the rush of being that close to the ground, propelled forward at such an incredible pace. It must be one of the most exhilarating feelings imaginable.

Frankly, it's mind-bogglingly extreme. This is undoubtedly one of the most amazing things I've come across in the realm of action sports. It's so incredibly cool that it's instantly shot to the top of my "things to try" list (though maybe I'll start with something a little less intense first!).

If you're looking for an adrenaline rush like no other, keep an eye out for this incredible new sport. The future of extreme sports may just be zooming past you at 80 mph, and it's definitely one to watch!

Three Fingers

 

The Blame Game

In the realm of human interactions, blame has become a prevalent tool used to deflect responsibility and avoid accountability. From childhood mischief to global conflicts, the act of pointing fingers has become an ingrained habit that often overshadows true introspection.

Childhood Blame Games

As children, we often resort to blaming others to escape punishment or avoid taking ownership of our actions. My brother and I were no exception. We would eagerly point at each other or the neighborhood kids, desperate to shift the blame away from ourselves.

Adult Blame Culture

Unfortunately, this childish behavior persists into adulthood. Politicians, for instance, engage in constant finger-pointing, accusing each other of being the root of society's problems. This blame game creates divisions and hinders progress, as it fails to address the underlying issues at hand.

The Three Fingers Rule

To counter this toxic habit, a simple yet profound lesson can be learned from the 'Three Fingers Rule.' When we point a finger at someone, we must remember that three fingers are pointing back at us. This serves as a reminder that our own actions and behaviors contribute to the problems we face.

God's Teachings on Blame

The concept of personal responsibility is also echoed in religious teachings. In the Bible, God instructs us to 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone' (John 8:7). This verse highlights the importance of self-reflection and accountability.

In Romans 2:1-24, God further emphasizes that we are all guilty of the same sins we accuse others of. By judging others, we condemn ourselves, for we are equally flawed.

The Lesson for Us

The lesson is clear:

before we blame others, we must first examine our own lives. If our own houses are not in order, how can we point fingers at others?

By focusing on cleaning our own homes and resolving our own problems, we reduce the time we have to engage in blame games. This shift in perspective promotes personal growth, accountability, and ultimately, a more harmonious society.

In conclusion, the 'Three Fingers Rule' is a valuable reminder that blame is a double-edged sword. It not only fails to solve problems but also perpetuates a culture of division and inaction. By embracing personal responsibility and focusing on self-improvement, we can create a world where blame is replaced by accountability and progress. I must say this, this has been a hard lesson for me to learn, and I am still learning. But each day that I focus on God, I get a bit better. I really want to encourage you to take a look at what God has to say about where you might be right now. I'll be praying for you, we're all in this together.
