God's Will

Martina McBride has has many emotional songs. This one is titled "God's Will."

Print out the lyrics before you watch the video so you can kind of follow along with the video at www.lyrics007.com/print.php?id=TXpNMk1qWXo

Funny hub

Funny Hub (www.funnyhub.com) is an online humor database featuring thousands of funny pictures, videos, jokes, animations and online games.

A couple of funny videos to watch include the classic "Office Rage," which I've seen several times at www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages/office-rage.html

A good picture is "Hitchhiking Inmates" at www.funnyhub.com/pictures/pages/hitchhiking-inmates.html.

Warning: There are some suggestive pictures on this site, so if you're easily offended, bypass that particular photo quickly.
