Impressive
Michael Phelps, the American Olympian swimmer, has already won five Golds and has been smashing world records. He has eleven Golds altogether from the last two Olympics. Even God is completely impressed.

Prayer
The conservative group, Focus on the Family Action, has pulled a video from its website that asked people to pray for "rain of biblical proportions" during Barack Obama's August 28 appearance in Denver to accept the Democratic nomination for president. Stuart Shepard, director of digital media for the group, says the video was meant to be "mildly humorous." And I find it to be mildly disturbing.

Praise
Police near Los Angeles say motorists stopped in traffic to gather up bills this week after a man on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle dropped a bag of cash, spilling it along the highway. I praise all of the motorist for helping him pick up his money.

Love
A 55-year-old Wyoming man tossed a computer through a theater door last week following a refund dispute. The man told police that "he had done the right thing in the war against injustice in the world." The incident started when theater employees refused to give him his money back after the movie projector malfunctioned while he was watching "Iron Man." This guy must truly love his comic book characters.

Disobedient
A Florida teen has been arrested for stabbing his father with a miniature sword in a haircut dispute. The l5-year-old admitted he stabbed his dad with the 10-inch sword because "he wanted to be left alone and didn't want to get his hair cut." The teen told cops he didn't care if his 47-year-old father was hurt "because he gave him more than one warning to stay away." Well, you know, boys will be boys.

Give
US Senate candidate Al Franken thinks America has been a "chump" when it comes to the rebuilding of Iraq. Franken says the government should rescind $7.1 billion that's committed but not yet obligated to Iraqi reconstruction, and spend it instead on highway infrastructure improvements in the United States. The Iraqs have $79 billion in a government surplus this year, while we have record deficits; maybe, the Iraqs should give us some money.

Strange
Two babies, one from Minnesota, the other form Iowa, were born Friday at 8:08 Am on 8/8/08, weighting 8 pounds, 8 ounces. The babies are doing fine, while the parents just got some new lottery numbers.

Fun
A women was arrested recently for driving around the parking lot of a Marathon, Florida, grocery store with her three-year-old granddaughter sitting on the roof of the car. The woman told police she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She added that she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg. Authorities say the woman told them she was giving the child some air and letting her have fun.  Most adults would think that the grandmother was acting dangerously, but most children would think that she is the coolest grandma ever.

Faith
While watching the opening of the 2008 Olympics, I had found a renewed faith in the human race but then Russia blew it.
