evel kneivel

the greatest stunt man of all time, evel kneivel. he made a career jumping his motorcycle over insane distances. i loved him as a kid. he was a hero for me. he had so much courage. even after crashing his brains out he would get back up and try again. he never quit.
i missed a chance to meet him this week. we were scheduled to be taping the crystal cathedral tv show on the same day but he was bumped to the following week. why was evel on the crystal cathedral? dr schuler was very excited as he told me the story. 2 weeks ago, evel called dr schuler and told him that he had decided to become a follower of jesus christ. thats right, evel kneivel became a believer. this is big news. he has been a hardcore dude for a long time with a reputation for the wildside. he had a personal encounter with jesus and his life his transformed. the story will be on the crystal cathedrals hour of power in a couple of weeks.

Was this Evel Senior, or Junior? I can't remember if Dad is alive or not. I remember when I was a kid, me and my cousins used to play with the "Evel Kneivel" action figure. Had the little motorcycle and a track with a ramp. We played on that thing for hours.

It's always good to hear about someone finding their own peace and balance in life. I'm happy for him. Hope I get to see the story.

i have heard of him , but dont know how he looks like. the same went with Lance Armstrong.



ok, i read all these comments on the "Contest", and would like to say, "I was the one who started the Contest" just something fun.

Irish, i was gonna comment sooner or later on the Brocks subject.

With all respect and it has happen to me and everyone, there are times where we say things and then continue what we started.

I know that this is Brocks blog. and HE MAKES THE DECISIONS REGARDING COMMENT CONTENTS...AND HE HAS BEFORE.!!

I DONT KNOW IF U HAVE NOTICED BUT THERE WHERE TIMES WHEN PEOPLE WOULD COMMENT ADVERTISING THEIR PRODUCTS AND SPEAKING FOR MYSELF CAUSE IT HAS HAPPEN TO MY BLOG, I WOULD LET IT SLIDE.

BUT WHEN THE CONTENT'S LINK CONTAINED DEGRADING SITES...THERE IS WHERE I WILL STOP IT.

THAT'S DISRESPECTFUL. SOME COMPLETE STRANGER DOING THAT. IT WILL BE DIFFERENT IF THE PERSON CAME IN A NICE WAY AND SAY "HEY,EXCUSE ME I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU GUYS AND WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE"

2ND IS THAT, WE ARE NOT COMPLETE STRANGERS, WE ARE ALL FRIENDS. WE ALL SHARE OUR THOUGHTS ON THEIR TOPICS AND THEN WE BUG OUT OR WE "TRIP" FIRST THEN WE COMMENT. WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS. I WILL ALWAY THIS FROM MY FRIENDS. FROM A STRANGER OK, BUT HE/SHE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING THAT IS NOT NICE.

I'M ALSO OUTSPOKEN AND TELL IT LIKE IT IS. I DONT KNOW IF YOU WOULD ALWAY THIS B/W YOUR FRIENDS.

I WOULD. U SEE DIFFENT VIEWS.

I THOUGH FOR A MINUTE OF THE CONTEST BEING DISRESPECTFUL, BUT WE ARE FRIENDS AND IF A STRANGER STARTED IT, I...I WOULD CONSIDER IT.

THAT'S MY OPINION.

JUST ONE LAST THING. AS U MAY KNOW. THERE ARE THINGS THAT TO SOMEONE MAY SEEM DUMB, OR WIERD,,BUT TO OTHERS NOT.

FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE WORDS THAT PUERTO RICANS SAY THAT ARE BAD WORDS FOR MEXICANS. AND THIS GOES FOR ANY COUNTRY, OR PLACE.

LIKE BISCOCHO: FOR PUERTORRIQUENS IT MEANS CAKE. FOR MEXICANS IT MEANS SOMETHING ELSE.
THIS IS PUERTORRIQUENS WORD FOR CAKE AND MEXICANS IS PASTEL.

I HAVE LEARNED TO BE OPEN AND LEARN DIFFERENT CUSTOMS. WHEN A MEXICAN TELL ME, " THAT'S A BAD WORD FOR US MEXICANS" I SAY, " BUT FOR ME ITS NOT!" I DONT HAVE TO USE YOUR WORD. WHY? ( BUT WITH RESPECT)I SAY LEARN DIFFERENT WAYS OF SAYING CAKE IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

MY OPINION. AND I RESPECT YOUR TOO.

BUT I DO APOLOGIZE TO BROCK AND AUNY IF THIS IS DISRESPECTING TO THEM,
