Cucumbers are quite simply the worst thing that has happened to food since, well, disease. Strong stance? Yes, but 100% ACCURATE and undeniable. In short, cucumbers are to main courses what lemon is to dessert: an uninvited guest whose very presence makes you want to shake your fist in outrage.

Believe me, those scars are REAL. And never is the threat of fear scars more imminent than around the days and weeks leading up to Halloween, as every TV station busts out their own personal arsenal of scary movies. Here’s the thing – if I can’t rationalize my way out of why something scary in a movie can't possibly happen to me, then I cannot see the movie. Why, you ask? Because I’ll have nightmares for life. I’m still not convinced that I won’t die in some freak garage door mishap (s ee Scream)...or by gremlin, for that matter. In your anger do not sin:Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. – Ephesians 4:26-27 Idleness is something that God dislikes. It is the state of being lazy, inactive and without motion. Worse, it is also the state of being superficial, pointless and purpose-less – something that God didn't create you for.Yes, the principle behind "an idle brain is the devil's workshop" can extend to organizations and societies. Idle resources or workforce can lead to inefficiencies or other problems within a larger system. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. – Philippians 4:8 We often suffer more in our imagination than we do in reality. So you shouldn’t automatically think the worst, but rather deal with actuality instead of making ourselves mentally ill in our head. Idleness is the enemy of the soul; and therefore the brethren ought to be employed in manual labor at certain times, at others, in devout reading.” They may never actually use the word 'Megalodon,' but that is obviously the only logical answer to the question 'what ate this shark?' And it is predators like this (and really just the mere suggestion of their existence) that lead me to keep my feet on dry land. Let me be clear - I think sharks are absolutely beautiful and amazing creatures. And I believe they serve a purpose within their delicate ecosystems. But we do not.

And pray in the Spiriton all occasionswith all kinds of prayers and requests.With this in mind, be alert and always keep on prayingfor all the Lord’s people. – Ephesians 6:18 What do you watch on TV? Have you ever considered turning the TV off from time to time (and not just when you are sleeping)? Do you find yourself scrolling endlessly on social media? What types of music are you listening to? What about the conversations you are having? All these things will impact your thinking. The team begins its search off the coast of South Africa near Seal Island (obviously, a place where a bunch of seals hang out, despite the fact that every shark on the planet knows about it. Stupid seals.), where Colossus was last seen so many moons ago. It's there that the team decides to follow another large male Great White in hopes that it will lead them to Colossus' lair. It's also at this point that we learn Colossus runs with a dangerous posse, made up of at least two other Great Whites named 'Kaz' and 'Shy Guy' (think Regulators, but with SHARKS). Those two are spotted, but Don Colossus is nowhere to be found. Human beings feel events that we experience as negative much more intensely than we do positive instances. Perhaps it comes as no surprise then that we have a disposition to think the worst, or to evaluate things as being more negative than they truly are. That’s what we call a negativity bias.The phrase implies the importance of staying occupied with beneficial activities to prevent negative thoughts or actions. It serves as a reminder to use one's time wisely and productively. As Christians who were given salvation, forgiveness and life through the shed blood of Jesus Christ; we must realise that we are not our own anymore. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, "You are not your own; you were bought at a price." Tall guys NEVER want to date tall girls. Ever. Like never ever. Tall men appear to have an aversion to tall women. They avoid them like the plague. Rather, they seem drawn to the shorties of the world. Perhaps that’s because men LIKE to feel like giants any time they can, as opposed to most tall women I know, who want to stand tall, but not necessarily tower. Now, on the other side of the coin: To combat this, she turned it off...so she could keep her heart and mind in a good place. She was trying to follow Paul’s advice in Philippians. Maybe you should consider this too; it just might make all the difference. And it's this very specific brand of crazy that always accompanies the holiday onslaught that baffles me: the obsession with making THIS year's holiday season better than last, the one-upmanship and the refusal to be outdone. And so I give you the Top Three Holiday Offendersto watch out for this time of year:
