Have not heard of any of the players going on to the big leagues of curling but they have fun. -- MabelMabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122873995483573876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-25981314478812127652016-06-28T15:23:02.025-05:002016-06-28T15:23:02.025-05:00If we find out they are using ped's (performan...If we find out they are using ped's (performance enhancing drugs), this sport will lose all credibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-73413546398553035382016-06-28T08:54:29.302-05:002016-06-28T08:54:29.302-05:00In reality, if history is our guide to the present...In reality, if history is our guide to the present, we will have very grave issues facing us in the years to come. The world is near the brink again, with tension between nations, economic, political, and social instability, and enough military technology to assure us of catastrophic casualties. As I watch the moral weakness of our country and culture imploding around us, I see no reason to be smug or satisfied with the direction of our nation and the world. While many millions stare into their smartphones and are consumed with social media and minor dissatisfactions of life, the real and grevious changes to our way of living are drawing closer. I say....we must all turn very very close to our God, because knowing Him and worshipping Him is the only certainty we can draw upon in the days ahead. I am no prophet, but I am a student of history, and history does repeat itself.John Joseph Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596324816480709495noreply@blogger.com
