While I am a staunch Christian, I didn’t like this version of the life of Jesus.  It didn’t flow, it was choppy and all over the place .  It seemed to highlight many significant events from the “New Testament” instead of telling a complete story.  I’m not sure why they made “Son of God”.  Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ” is hard to follow.  There is also another older TV mini series (“Jesus of Nazareth”) that was excellent.  “Son of God” is a spin-off of the History Channel’s mini-series, “The Bible.”   In” Son of God” I found several differences between scripture and the movie.  When Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave, he never went into the cave.  Jesus simply shouted “Lazarus, come out!”  (John 11:43).  This really doesn’t change anything but movies like this teaches people who may not know what happened.  I also didn’t understand why Jesus (played by Diogo Morgado) was always smiling, even…

This is probably the most bounty like island I’ve ever been in my live. I’m talking about white sand, blue water and palm trees! All this you can find on Bamboo Island (Koh Mai Phai) in Thailand, this island is part of the Phi Phi Islands. When you travel to Koh Phi Phi you can ask an fisherman to take you to all kinds of places like Maya Beach, Monkey Beach and this beach on Bamboo Island. You have to take a boat trip on the ocean in a little boat (it was kind of scary but it’s worth it) and than you get to this paradise!

We arrived on this side of the island, it was very quiet there was almost nobody there! Our fisherman told us to relax here and swim for a while. He would wait for us on the other side of the island to pick us…

When I as in Scotland we did all kinds of Scottish things like playing Highland Games, taste whisky and try out Scottish food. One of the Scottish dishes we had was this dessert called Cranachan. I didn’t had a good first impression of Scottish food considering I only had eaten haggis but this dessert was actually really good!

It is a mixture of whipped cream, whisky, honey and fresh raspberries, with toasted oatmeal soaked in whisky overnight. I didn’t taste much of the whisky though, the dessert was very sweet! 

Have you ever had Cranachan?

Comcast Corp customers are about to get improved streaming service from Netflix after the two companies announced on Sunday an agreement to give Netflix a direct connection to the broadband provider.

.

This agreement means that Netflix will deliver its movies and TV programs to Comcast’s broadband network as opposed through third party providers, giving viewers faster streaming speeds for watching movies and TV programs.

The deal could also mean that other broadband providers like Verizon and AT&T will have to strike a similar arrangements, known in the industry as interconnect agreements.

Maybe it’s because this movie was foreign with English subtitles or maybe it was because it just wasn’t that good but to my surprise, I didn’t like The Grandmaster.  I found so many of the scenes in this action film drawn out to the point I thought the movie was frozen.  The Grandmaster was about the man, IP Man played by Tony Chiu Wai Leung, who trained Bruce Lee.  It started out with a bang — two rival gangs fighting down to 1 man, The Grandmaster.  He was a fantastic Kung Fu fighter and good looking to boot.  After that opening, it started to go downhill.  The subtitles changed so fast, you didn’t have time to read everything, which is a common problem with foreign films.  My eyes started to burn from the strain.  I found myself staring at Zhang Yongcheng played by Hye-Kyo Song, for several minutes at a time, even…

4-11-14 will make the one year mark of my daughter Kaitlyn taking her own life. During this time I have had the emotions of feeling I was going to die, wishing I would die, grief, horrendous pain, disbelief, believing I was actually living in hell, questioning life and the horrible things that happen on earth, questioning everything I ever thought to be true, not caring about anything much less myself, eating, and basically living the most horrible existence that I could ever imagine. I quit my job, have not worked since, have for the most part disengaged myself from almost every social encounter that I’ve ever taken place in. No more church, fewer visits to family, for the most part I don’t even know who I am anymore.

I’ve tried to go back to work after a few months. Once I tried at a veterinary office (I’m a nurse but…
