Boneheaded advice of the day comes from the "American Diabetes Association." Understand, their "goal" (to the extent that they have one) is to manage diabetes, not fix it. This means they want to keep you in a diabetic state so that you keep purchasing government-subsidized birdseed instead of food, and, therefore, keeping you dependent upon pharmaceuticals. Here is the bonehead advice, from this website : (under the heading of "What is a Healthy Diet?")

A reader wrote me an email, and (with all due respect to the many who have taken the time to comment) this one is the best question I've had so far on this blog. Usagi, In the Bible, the idea of " loving your neighbor as yourself " is a common theme. I think the idea was that most people will take good care of themselves. But what about people who are self-destructive or harm themselves deliberately? Does that mean they can treat others like crap, since they really don’t care about themselves? Best. Question. Ever.

From a reader: So sum it up, keep it short. What do you suggest for healthy living? Good question. Diet 1. Paleo / Primal : no grains or starchy vegetables - plenty of meat and vegetables . 1. Warrior Diet (plan) - also known as Intermittent fasting - eat a large meal each evening. 1. Resistant Starch . Exercise Walk (or jog) every day. Lift something heavy at least once per week.

My kids are big fans of WWE wrestling. We subscribe to the WWE Network, and frequently watch WWE pay-per-view events. Recently, the WWE had a house show in Jackson, TN. I was able to attend with my son. My daughter was busy that day, earning a horseback riding badge for the Girl Scouts. The boy and I scored front row seats! Match 2 - Darren Young & The Great Khali def. Brodus Clay & Titus O'Neil:

I had the following conversation with a person who was defending the actions of a young girl in her custody. The names have been changed. Also, I have edited out superfluous commentary which is not needed to understand the crux of this conversation. Hetty: "So I am wondering why you told Carl that Haylee doesn't deserve to be his girlfriend?" Me: "Get it straight... Haylee decided to call it off. Carl needed to know not to chase after her in some silly game." Hetty: "But... if a girl doesn't have her ' games ' as you call them, then what does she have left?" Me: "I don't know... courtesy? Honesty? Integrity?" .

A few days ago, I saw the following message on Twitter: "If you don't believe the Gospel, it doesn't matter how sincere your faith in God is, you're lost." I do believe that whomever wrote this has no clue. No clue what the Gospel is. No clue who God is. No clue how salvation works. .
