Headlines

This won’t be one of the most exciting posts for my English readers but I wanted to share some of the headlines from VG (One of Norway’s largest newspapers) today which I felt like commenting…I always feel like commenting things but have so long spared you from having to hear my humble opinions…but TODAY…there were just too many headlines to let it go..so let’s begin…again, if you’ve got a google translator bar at the top of your page- use it to translate the written article and the only thing I can say about the video in this first headline is, just check out the dog…who cares what they are saying…

It might just be me, but I think little Pepsi is ADORABLE in an only-a-face-a-mother-would-love way……there is a charm with her and while I don’t think they should have had this contest at all, we’re humans and find our entertainment in many odd and not always nice ways…the way I look at it is, people don’t have to enter these things but they do…cause hey…it’s fun….right?

Here is an article which of course is great motivation to keep exercising but that wasn’t the first thing that struck me- I have actually had this thought before when witnessing an enormous woman (or man) together with a skinny man (or woman)- how in the world do they do anything physical together without crushing their partner? Now, of course this woman wasn’t doing anything romantic with her partner- in fact she was accused of killing him- but I think I’ve now found the answer to my question….and I’m glad I was a good girl today and worked out…would hate to crush the Captain!!!

Finally, an article about the miracle baby, Elizabeth, who was found 8 days after the earthquake in Haiti- alive and in pretty good condition. Elizabeth is only 23 days old and according to doctors the chances of her or any new baby surviving a whole week without water and food is highly unlikely- but here you have it folks….an honest to God miracle right before your very eyes…

I love stories like that…they give me hope that there is something bigger then all of us out there watching over us and these miracles are reminders of that.

 Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

Until next time….
