Dog -The Bounty Hunter - A Changed Man

Have you ever heard of "Dog-the Bounty Hunter"? Dog is currently a bounty hunter. 

He works at a bail bond place in Hawaii. In the 1950s , Dog was part of a motorcycle gang and

believe me , he was messed up. He received the nickname "Dog" by his fellow gang members.

One day he was at a horrible party and this guy turned a cross up side down . See, he still kinda 

believed in God from his younger years (11,12,13). Anyways, he stood up to the guy and the guy walked

away. His nickname was "Dog " because that was God spelled backwards . Soon ,he quit the

gang. But way after that, he got truly saved and got married .Then he had children. Then some 

of his children grew up and became bounty hunters . I thought that that was a wonderful example 

of how people change. But, he still needs to change his hair ... :) Now he has his own show on A&E .

The Key to Midde School Worries and Hard Times

Today , I was worrying about the pains of middle school . It is not so much about the work, but the social part with the kids. Middle schoolers

have different personalities. Any trouble experienced can be summed up in on saying. It took me all year to generate this.

" No great sailor has gone without a tough storm . "

- John M. Bowling, Jan. 3 ,2009

God is preparing you for a tough task, but you still have the sensitivity inside to complete it.

A Letter from HRH Queen of Belgium

A few days ago I received a letter from Palace DE Brussels . Receiving letters from royal residents (even if they are disappointing) is like a hobby to me. And it is pretty cool. All you have to do is to look up" official web site of the monarchy " and it will pull up the official web sites of all kinds of monarchies . Then you select "contact us" and get the address. After you do that, write a proper letter . Then you place it in a envelope and take it in the post office. It only costs about $1.50 . The web site of the UK monarchy is the most common . Then (as you see on the left) is the Belgium monarchy . This one was cool because they sent me the official portrait of the family on genuine photo paper. Monarchies that do that are usually very wealthy. They receive thousands of letters per day asking for photos. Can you imagine how much money that would cost? I will list the web site and the address below .
