So I give you your…

Like them or hate them, it doesn’t matter. Because of Gun ‘n Roses you all can have a free Dr. Pepper. Think I’m kidding? Read this:

 Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy is a reality.

The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008.Chinese Democracy, infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday.

“We never thought this day would come,” Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper’s vice president of marketing, said in a statement. “But now that it’s here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper’s on us.”

Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper’s website. They’ll be honored until Feb. 28.  [USA TODAY]

So thank you Axl Rose for my free Dr. Pepper. 

Go here to redeem your free coupon : http://www.drpepper.com/ (remember contest starts Sunday, so you can’t get your free coupon today…). Myspace or twitter your youth group…

And if you’re interested in listening to the newest Guns ‘n Roses album: Chinese Democracy (one of the longest awaited albums – 17  years in the making)… it’s been streamed on myspace.

Here’s my rant and question of the day…

Pho (pronounced Fuh) is one of my favortie things to eat. Pho is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup dish. It’s one of the best things to eat on a cold, wet, fall day. For more on Pho, go here.

Do yourself a favor. Get the phone book, look up Vietnamese restaurants,  go get yourself some Pho and thank me later.

You have any favorite fall dishes?

Just when you thought we only had two real options for president… I give you a third choice.

“Deep Do-Do” is what some are calling it. Others are referring to it as “TEOTWAWKI” — The End Of The World As We Know It.

The stock market heading south for the winter and the economy diving into the toilet,  has brought out a new breed of blogger: the urban survivalist. From stocking up on rice and beans to plans to build bunkers or schemes to move to South America and buy farms, this fear has driven many to extremes.

To check out a few colorful blogs try these:

For some reason, I’m not bothered by the state of the world. Back at the Catalyst conference, I recall Dave Ramsey saying something that really put things into perspective – “If God is on the throne, what do we have to worry.” Sometimes we forget who’s in charge… And if anyone should be freaking, it’s me. I’m a missionary that relies upon donations/support of individuals to fund my salary and ministry. I should be afraid, but I’m not. It’s all the Lord’s and the trouble starts when I begin to think otherwise.

But I will say this, if these times do spur us to live greener, and less consumeristic – then good.

Those are my thoughts, but how do you feel about the state of the world today?
