Hey gang,
Time for another installment of Fun Thursdays.

Today, I ran across a game on miniclip.com entitled Quick Fire Pool

It involves a time limit of two minutes and you have to pocket as many balls as you can within that time limit. Here is the skinny on the game:

You get 10 seconds extra for a pocketed ball.
You get 20 seconds taken away for your first scratch.
If you scratch again on the following ball you get 40 seconds taken away.
Once you are down to one ball remaining, you get a new rack of balls.

Try and beat my high score of 11025.

You can play the game by clicking this link here.

One of the hardest sins to deal with at times can be pride. Pride can rip us apart and leave us feeling full of ourselves and then drop us to the lowest darkest places of humanity. Check out this quote from Benjamin Franklin regarding pride:

“There is perhaps no one of natural passions so hard to subdue as pride. Disguise it. Struggle with it. Stifle it. Mortify it as much as one pleases. It is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself….Even if I could conceive that I had completely overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility.“

How have you let your pride get in the way of what God wants to do in your life lately?

What can you do to avoid that?

Okay,
I do not support organized fighting like this, but the saying “pride comes before the fall” was never truer than it was for the guy in this video.

Here’s a little flash game I found this week entitled “Run.”

You simply move your character (arrow keys) and jump (space bar) to avoid holes.

Oh, and try running on the wall and see what happens!

Alright gang,

I thought we would start something new and have some fun on Thursdays. Today’s random activity is “Create your own band”.

Here’s how you do it:

1) Band Name: Random Wikipeda Link

2) Album Title: Random quote generator (take the last four words from the first quote on the page)

3) Album Art: Flickr Interesting Photo (pick one)

So, here you have it:

My band is called Balafi (which apparently is a small town in central Ibiza in the Balearic Islands of Spain.)

the title of our most recent (and genre-smashing, to be honest) album is A Stranger Than Fiction.

and, of course you know, since you are eagerly anticipating the album, but here’s the cover art:

For anyone who wants to play along, you can put your band and album name in a comment.
