Facebook notifications now worthless

I used to follow Facebook notifications closely. In a moment of insanity I even had them SMS'd to my phone.
Now, I am deluged with annoying gaming invites that can't be shut off unless I block old friends, and I probably won't do that. I've learned to almost totally ignore the little red pop-up on the top bar.
Facebook, by taking advantage of my loyal spirit to old friends, even if they are gamblers, has made notifications worthless.
No wonder their stock value is falling so rapidly.
After checking in on the status of my Facebook friends, I spend a lot of on Google Plus, which is currently, along with all my other Google products, become my best go to news source.

Horse Drawn Carriage

In February of 2011 Mary and I went to The Frankenmuth Ice Festival in Michigan. One of the most picturesque views was the elegant horse-drawn carriage. I came across this picture while wandering through my old emails.

Huge Spike in Page Views

After posting 13 chapters of The Gift Parables last night, which was warmly received with almost 400 page views, The Shepherd's heart Journal had a huge spike in page views, 1366 page views between midnight and 2 am. Combined with yesterday's 475 page views, God was good.
I am even more humbled and amazed when I look at my page views on my remaining blogs, which I am no longer posting, but moving the posts to my flagship blog, The Shepherd's Heart Journal. Today's views for ALL 10 blogs: 4775.

Silence is Golden

Silence is Golden. Duct tape is Silver.

THE FORCE!


Duct tape is like THE FORCE!  It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.  ~C Zwanzig

Liam's Response

My grandson Liam's response to watching his older brother Mathew practice soccer the first time? He cried. Didn't understand why he could only watch. 

I fought the law..


My grand son Zach already shows a strong resemblance to his policeman father.



Dean Winter's Mayhem: The Blind Side

You love my post on Dean Winters as Mayhem. I've admired his abilities since he played John Conner's almost step dad in a heroic role on the Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Terminator. but this kind of comic timing? Who knew?

If I agreed with you


If I agreed with you, we'd BOTH be wrong!

Speaking of Paranoia.. look at the ads Google placed on my blog. They're listening!

My Blood Kin, Easter 2012

I'm in the process of consolidating my blogs, moving them to my flagship blog where the daily views and searches are much higher.

This is a nice picture of my daughters and grand children on Easter Sunday 2012.
