More of a Good Thing

More on FREE HUGS today. Just yesterday, this video of a news story on Juan Mann was posted to youtube. I was a bit overwhelmed by the intensity of the feelings of those who posted responses to yesterday's post (if you are visiting for the first time, go back and watch the video). I was a little surprised by them, but I suppose I shouldn't have been. It brought me to tears, too. I don't listen to rock of any sort very much anymore, but I am definitely thinking of picking up the Sick Puppies album, or at least that song. Paired with the video, it sends such a strong message. I love seeing people reaching out in love for the sake of love. I wish something like this was going on where I live.

Maybe it's just me, but I think there is some significance in Juan Mann's name. It goes to show you that Juan Mann can make a difference. Amen?




I have been visited by several encouraging angels from the Lord today. He has truly blessed me through them. I may be pretty lonely most days, but the Lord hasn't forgotten where I am. Bless His holy name.

Have a blessed weekend,

Big J

Why are you feeling so lonely? I know what you mean though. I hope you and Jen are well. I hope you get over the ear pain soon too. Have a great weekend, brother.
