SEPTEMBER 7 "DO YOU LIKE A GOOD REDEMPTION STORY...OR NOT?!"

     Arnold Schwarzenegger made headlines back in 2011 when he revealed to wife Maria Shriver that he fathered a child with their housekeeper Mildred Patricia Baena. The boy, named Joseph Baena, was 14 at the time, and Schwarzenegger reportedly hadn't known about him for years until the resemblance became undeniable.
     Shriver, whom Schwarzenegger has four children with, filed for divorce after being married for 25 years. However, the marriage has not officially ended on paper, something the actor and former California Governor talks about in his book Total Recall.
     In an interview with Men's Journal, Schwarzenegger said that he has since "repaired the damage" with his children — Joseph included. The 70-year-old Celebrity Apprenticehost even revealed that they now have a "healthy relationship."
     Joseph, a student at Pepperdine University in California, just turned 20 last week, and his bodybuilding dad posted an Instagram photo of him lifting weights in true Schwarzenegger fashion. The caption reads: "Happy birthday Joseph! You're a fantastic son and a great training partner. You get stronger and smarter every year and I'm so proud of you. I love you."

     There's something sinister in you and I that screams out "no, this is not how it should go, you shouldn't do all he did and live happily ever after. His life should be falling apart, his son should have him, Maria Shriver should leave him".

God loves a good redemption story, however, I'm not so sure if you and I always do.

OCTOBER 15 "RE-UP - MARRIED AGAIN!"

Paul Chudnow, 71 and Phyllis Chudnow, also 71 decide after 50 years to get hitched for another 50. The mood was lighthearted before the 7:30 p.m. service. "I figured if you can last 50 years, you might as well look for another [50 years]," said Phyllis Chudnow, 71, who will be married to Paul Chudnow, 71, for 51 years in June. "It's something to celebrate," Paul said. The couple lives in Fort Lauderdale . What happened 50 years ago I’m sure is very special to this couple, but even more special, even more meaningful, is that 51 years later, whatever they felt, whatever moment they had, 51 years ago, it’s still going on 51 years later! This couple, “has it going on” beyond what any deluded teenager thinks about “how they have it going on”, this is the real deal!

MAY 13 "EVOLUTION VS. CREATION"

WHY VENUS SPINS THE  WRONG WAY -AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west. Not that it happens often: a day there lasts a little more than 243 Earth-days, actually making it longer than a Venusian year, which is only about 224 Earth-days long. Many scientists believe that the long days are a result of the sun's strong pull on the planet. But scientists are still puzzled by Venus's retrograde, or backward, rotation. Evolution teaches that creation started by the "Big Bang Theory"; thence sending all sorts of particulars flying through the explosion through the momentum of a blast. If that were the case, the momentum of the blast, if we can somehow take a grand leap of faith that the blast created planets (big leap I know) than we can only conclude the planets would all be spinning in t...
