Well, it’s the New Year -- again.  Time to make those resolutions that we usually don’t keep.  Did you know that a little over 97% of the people who make New Year’s resolutions abandon them within thirty days after starting?  Oy vey!   97%!  With a failure rate like that, why  even bother!?! The main cause for not keeping our first of the year resolution is setting goals that are unreasonable and just not us!  I mean let’s face facts, how many of us actually get up at 5 a.m. to jog 3-5 miles or head off to the gym for that work-out before work?  Yea, I’m sure there are some out there, but I’m talking to the 97% of us who don’t!   There is hope for us who fall into that 97% bracket.  And no, it’s not making resolutions to watch more TV,  gain weight and never making it off the couch longer than it takes to get our beverage or make a bathroom run!  Although, those seem to be the easiest resolutions to keep!  No...

 Inside a home on Powell Avenue, in the Jacobs neighborhood on Christmas Eve, the stockings were hung ready for Christmas. However, under a small Christmas tree, there were no gifts in sight. Outside, an undercover operation was going on as several LMPD officers pulled up to the home.  READ MORE SOURCE:   http://www.wdrb.com

“We (the African American community) have not had proper leadership since Martin Luther King,” Man Up chairman MeShorn Daniels told those gathered shortly before noon. “All the religious leaders we've had? Where are they?” “People like Al Sharpton do not speak for the black community and I know he does not speak for me,” said Midwest Church of Christ Pastor Jerry Stephenson. “We want you in West Louisville. We will honor you in West Louisville.” READ MORE Source:  Wave TV-3 Louisville

Wanted to share this with all of you this Christmas Eve 2014.   Please feel free to pass it around on your social networks.   *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* What Are Policemen Made Of?  By Paul Harvey Don't credit me with the mongrel prose: it has many parents-at least 420,000 of them: Policemen. A Policeman is a composite of what all men are, mingling of a saint and sinner, dust and deity.    Gulled statistics wave the fan over the stinkers, underscore instances of dishonesty and brutality because they are "new". What they really mean is that they are exceptional, unusual, not commonplace. Buried under the frost is the fact: Less than one-half of one percent of policemen misfit the uniform. That's a better average than you'd find among clergy! What is a policeman made of? He, of all men, is once the most needed and the most unwanted. He's a strangely nameless creature who is "sir" to his face and "fuzz" to his back He must be such a dipl...

I hate to be the one to defy sacred myth, but I believe he's a she. Think about it. Christmas is a big, organized, warm, fuzzy, nurturing social deal, and I have a tough time believing a guy could possibly pull it all off!  For starters, the vast majority of men don't even think about selecting gifts until Christmas Eve. It's as if they are all frozen in some kind of Ebenezerian Time Warp until 3 p.m. on Dec. 24th, when they - with amazing calm - call other errant men and plan for a last-minute shopping spree. Once at the mall, they always seem surprised to find only Ronco products, socket wrench sets, and mood rings left on the shelves. (You might think this would send them into a fit of panic and guilt, but my husband tells me it's an enormous relief because it lessens the 11th hour decision-making burden.) On this count alone, I'm convinced Santa is a woman. Surely, if he were a man, everyone in the universe would wake up Christmas morning to find a rotating musi...
