The Ultimate Missionary Vehicle

So I was driving on Golf Road the other day and saw this beastly looking truck pull up behind me. I'd never seen anything like it so I let it pull ahead of me to get a better look. It's called The Earth Roamer and in my opinion it is the ultimate missionary mobile. I'd love to roam the earth in this baby.

This is the vehicle of my dreams, but with a pricetag of $200,000-230,000 and rising gas prices it's only a fantasy. Can you imagine cruising taking this thing to the outermost reaches of the planet in God's service?  Find out more at www.earthroamer.com.

Have you heard of Pétanque?

I was recently reading a short article on the yips, muscle spasms that affect athletes when doing fine motor skills. It is most commonly associated with golfers when they're putting, but I read that it can also affect pétanque chuckers.

Being an insatiably curious person, when I come across a word I've never heard of before, I have to know what it is. That's one of the reasons I'm so thankful for the Internet. It lets me get it out of my system in minutes.

Anyway, it turns out that pétanque is a game that originates from France and involves players trying to throw hollow metal balls and land them as close to a small wooden ball as possible. I thought to myself, "Big deal...wake me when it's over." That is until I saw this video on youtube. It's amazing that you can take the simplest thing and people will find a way to bring it to the highest level and gain such mastery over the required skill set. Some of the highlighted throws are just unbelievable if you think about it.

Cool Resource for Continuing Education

Have you ever found yourself wanting to go back to school just for the joy of learning but not to earn a degree? I came across a really cool company that offers audio and video courses in a wide range of subjects by some of the top professors in the country. Check out The Great Courses. The prices are actually pretty reasonable and there are a ton of courses I wish I had the time and money to take. Enjoy!
