This was much more difficult that I thought it would be!
It was sooo.. good for me to complete this 40-day sugar fast while thinking on scripture and how I can apply these principles :)
I really enjoyed the way the book flowed and I loved Wendy Speake's insight and encouragement. I think everyone should read this book at least once.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the encouragement, the health reasons, and for the many truths found between these pages.

Quick Tableau Builder
This is a quick game that is as close to a Civilization game can get in 30 minutes or so. Players could end up taking long turns, if they are overthinking their turns. Enjoy, the fast pace of the game and just play tactically, not strategically. There is quite a bit of luck in which cards show up, but it shouldn't matter. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, neither should you, just enjoy the short engaging brain tickle this game gives.

With all the ridiculous shit that happens in these movies, the most unrealistic part is how much Gal Gadot thirsts over Vin Diesel....
Nice to see (some of) the original cast back together, but Fast & Furious is unfortunately a forgettable entry into the series. There are of course some fun action scenes but the well portrayed sense of family and friendship from the first movie isn't translated too well here, and it's ultimately lost under a shambling plot with a boring villain.
Still enjoyed it mind, and it's low key hilarious how Vin Diesel's growly mumbling becomes a little more inaudible with each passing movie.

It's finally happened...I think....I think I...like these movies
All joking aside, Fast Five is a well paced, and well executed action film. The humble street racing elements of the first few movies have been pretty much dropped at this point. There's a bit where Vin Diesel and his crew are taking down a whole army of bad guys with military grade weapons, and I just found myself thinking "how the fuck did we get here" and you know what? I'm not even mad.
Also, Diesel shouting "THIS IS BRAZIL" right in Dwayne Johnson's inexplicably sweaty bald face is next level unintentionally hilarious and I love it.

California wild fires
A fast paced story set in LA, California. A snarky psychokinetic that really just want to open a restaurant but instead works for a super-secret off the books government agency. With her three coworkers, she has to prove that she didn't in kill anyone even though even shows she's the only one who has the ability to do so.
The characters are amazing, from the angry ex-con to the incomplete paraplegic hacker and everything in between. Teagan is trying to balance her life, career and powers while trying not to get arrested for murder.

Ten year old Marty loves his brother Steve. But Steve has been acting very weird recently and Marty is about to reveal the shocking truth as to why...
Written from the perspective of Marty this is a well written and gruesome little novel of how situations can quickly escalate and spiral out of control. Fast paced, the darkest of humour and plenty of blood and gore keep this twisted story going at full pelt for its brief 137pages. Highly recommended for those that have a strong disposition and cast iron gut!
