I recently discovered a new type of jelly bean. If you’ve ever sampled a box of Jelly Bellies, you know how many interesting flavors they offer, and some of them are pretty tasty. (Some of the flavors are pretty unusual, such as buttered popcorn, toasted marshmallow, and coffee.) A friend of mine recently gave me a bag of Jelly Belly beans, but they were called “Belly Flops”. In the bag were all kinds of beans that most people would say are “imperfect”. They are oddly shaped, all different sizes, and some are stuck together. These are the candies that didn’t measure up to the standards of perfection at the factory. But, someone had a brilliant idea! Although they look different, they taste just as delicious as a “perfect” jelly bean! They deserve to be eaten and loved just as much as any other candy! So, these “jelly beans with special needs” get the same opportunities as the “normal” ones! And the Jelly Belly company has turned their problem into a profit! Way to go, guys!

Have you been to The Shack yet? If not, please let me urge you to go!! If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then read on…
The Shack
By William P. Young
This is the best book I have read this year. That is saying a lot, because I read tons of books! It’s not like anything you’ve ever read before, so be prepared to think outside the box. This book could quite possibly change your life.
If you enjoy listening to audio books like I do, you can find The Shack on ITunes for a VERY low price. Wow, I didn’t mean for this to sound like a commercial! I just wanted to tell you how excited I am!

I think Chick-Fil-A is the best fast food place in the world. In fact, I don’t think it belongs in the “fast food” catagory. Their chocolate milk shakes are incredible! Their chicken sandwhiches and waffle fries are steller. I would eat there twice a week if I didn’t care about my dress size.
I just thought you might like to know how I feel.
