there are lots of guys on this site who know most of the very precise tech specs for all things pontiac & are quick 2 point out any errors others mite post. 1 point that many people disagree on is WHEN Jesus was crucified. was it on good friday, as many believe? don't think that term is in the Bible. it did say He was raised the third day. so it seems He couldn't have died any later than thursday. i prefer 2 consider the most important stuff--like--He DID die on the cross for us--He DID go to hell & suffer the punishment for our sins--He DID defeat satan for us--He DID rise again from the dead--He DID walk & talk with people on the earth for 40 days after His resurrection--He DID ascend back 2 heaven, where He ever lives 2 make intercession for us with God--& most important 2 me He WILL come into your life & live in you thru the Holy Spirit IF you'll just ask & receive the benefits of what He's done for you. tech specs(refs):matt 17:23, acts 2:30-32, 1cor 2:8, rom 8:34, 1cor 15:3,4, acts 1:3, rom 10:9-13, john 3:3,16,17.

when i came in yesterday, TJ said "i saw the Easter bunny again." there seems 2 be a never ending supply of bunny rabbits that live in the patch of woods along the dirt road leading up 2 our house. we see them often, especially at nite. i've noticed on tv & radio that there are Easter egg hunts & special appearances by the Easter bunny from local churches 2 the white house. our local dragstrip even planned a big hunt at the sat race(but it got rained out). i reckin a rabbit layin chicken or choc-in-plastic eggs ain't much different than a fatman & deer flyin at Christmas time. but as the sayin goes "don't forget the reason for the season"--Jesus arose from the dead, He's alive today, & He'll come into & change your life for the better if you'll let Him!

march madness continues. the commentators said it was the biggest upset they had ever seen in the history of womens college b-ball! it was definately the best game i can ever remember seeing. baylor was defending champs--had a 32 game win streak, & i suppose the tallest player ever at 6' 8", who the commentators said was probably the best woman player ever. they were 24 point favorites. NOBODY gave louisville a chance 2 win. another 1 of those david & goliath match-ups i've mentioned. but, somehow, the coach talked his players into believing they could defeat the giant! he devised a plan & they worked it 2 perfection. at 1 point they had made 15 of 21 3-point shots--even tho they had averaged less than 6 for the year. & on defense, they held the best player in womens b-ball almost scoreless in the 1st half. emotions ran hi--tempers flared--& it was close at the end--but the underdogs never gave up--& held on for the victory! this game will preach all by itself without me adding a thing. again i say WOW!

The Danica Haters thread was interesting to me - tho I've quit cliking on it. I suppose because TJ used to race, I've always liked to see the girls do good in the man's world of racing. But you DH'rs are rude and crude. This gal has and will make millions, is now known worldwide and has, and will, draw in a lot of new racing fans - whether she ever wins a NASCAR race or not. You haters seem to not only think she shouldn't be allowed to drive, but have tried to degrade her to a 2nd-rate hooker, at best. I had to quit reading ya'lls trash talk not long after it started. I personally think that grown men should be ashamed of themselves for publicly badmouthing someone to the degree some of you haters have. But that's just my own personal opinion and I know it ain't even worth 2 cents to some. (So, just save your badmouth rebuttals) Thank God once again that we live in the good old USA, where free speech is still allowed and protected (regardless of how trashy it may be)

We used to like Shirley Muldowney. We saw her race in person back in the day (I'll show our pics again.) We enjoyed keeping up with her rivalry with Don Garlits and later Connie Kalitta. She was the 1st woman to make a 5-second pass in 1975; she won lots of Wallys and 3 points titles and even had a movie made of her life. You can see all her stats on her website - quite impressive. How about those Force sisters - Wallys and #1 qualifiers at 300+ mph. - not too shabby. And Erica Enders has shifted a prostocker into the winner's circle. You won't hear me badmouthing any of the ladies who try their hand at racing - I'm all for it! I can still recall a few TJ-haters from the old days (mostly the Chevy dudes she'd beat). They'd talk ugly and sling gravel and wrenches in the pits - but that's ok - TJ still picked up a check most of the time, when the dust had settled.
