ANTWERP, Belgium (Reuters) - Mozart, an iguana with an erection that has lasted for over a week, (thanks to Viagra) will have his penis amputated in the next couple of days.

Veterinarians at Antwerp's Aquatopia had sought to treat the animal's problem, but decided removal was the only solution because of the risk of infection. The good news for Mozart and his mates is that male iguanas have two penises.

Mozart, sitting on the shoulders of his keeper as camera crews focused on his red, swollen erection, seemed unperturbed by the news.

"It doesn't bother him. He doesn't know what amputation means," said vet Luc Lambrecht, adding that Mozart's sexual activity should be undimmed by the operation.

As I've mentioned before, Saturday Night Live is on a downward swing and is need of an extreme makeover, HOWEVER the "Two A-Holes" recurring sketch is one of my favorites. Here is last week's installment.

I must confess that as of recently i have been blogging double-duty and I can no longer handle the load or stress of constantly creating and writing content like this. Let's just all be adults here and admit that it is not my SHAPE. Hence, this personal blog will rarely be updated and is thus in jeopardy of losing it's Allison Hibbard link status - which I must confess hurts - but is completely understood. Nevertheless, I must go with the blog that keeps the paycheck coming in, which, to be honest, really made this decision quite easy.

For those of you who care to venture over to my mistress-of-a-blog, feel free to visit www.ministrypastor.blogspot.com You might even come across a tip or two that you can put to use in your life and/or ministry - but then again, maybe you won't. Either way, no skin off my back.

All the best all.

No, not these! These are from God - so they are good. It's these that suck!



I hate Rainbow Sandals. I have now owned two pairs, only to have both of them fall apart. Sure Rainbow will repair them for free, but why can't someone make a pair of sandals that are awesomely comfortable and wont fall apart? Well, my friends, that someone has been found:



Fortunately for me, my brother runs a surf shop in San Diego [K-5 Surf and Sport] and he stocks several different manufacturers of leather sandals. I told him of my predicament, and he hooked me up with several different pairs of sandals from several different manufacturers. After thorough testing, Ocean Minded was the CLEAR FAVORITE! They are by far the most comfortable and most durable out of all of the sandals. So, do yourself a favor and go get yourself a pair!

At what point does anxiousness/nervousness/worrying become a sin? Is it always a sin? As I recently posted here, today is my first day carrying the "Minister of the Day" duties here at Saddleback Church and to be brutally honest – I was/am anxious and nervous. I’m not scared, because I know God is going to show up (let’s be honest – with me in MOD he’s going to HAVE to show up) but as with anything new, the unknown can be a little scary.

I've often heard that a little bit of fear and/or anxiety is a good thing - that it keeps one humbled and grounded. I've also heard Pastor Rick teach that if you are worrying or anxious it is because you aren't trusting God - and that is a sin. Pastor Rick's teaching makes it sound very black and white - but is there some gray area in between there somewhere?

I'm not trying to be a theologian here on the blog, just curious as to others thoughts - so comment away please.

Each and every Sunday, you will now find me dining at Los Primos restaurant, either for lunch or dinner or both. Los Primos is conveniently located inside the SHELL Gas Station at the corner of Bake Pkwy and Rancho Pkwy near the Home Depot in Foothill Ranch.

This fine establishment is not one that I have recently discovered as I have been ordering the deliciously scrumptious California Burrito there for several years, however I did just recently discover that on Sundays each and every combination plate is just $3.99!!! That's right, the combination plates, (a vast majority of which are $6.49 or higher) are just $3.99.

Need I say more? Hasta a Los Primos el primero domingo! (or something like that.)
