You may remember the fellow we wrote about a few years ago who was angry and fed up when a person stole a delivered package off of his front porch. Thus, the “Glitter Bomb” was born.
He’s baaaaaack with Glitter Bomb 4.0.
To be honest, the project is amazing, but he also touts other revenue generating things he is doing, and while understandable, it is somewhat irritating (in our opinion.)
The bottom line is that people who steal other peoples’ stuff off of their porch -especially this time of year – are complete and total scum.

Something different today as we are tired of writing a bunch of negative things.
A group called “WayNation” puts out positive videos featuring different Christian artists.
They periodically host what they call “Guess the….” where various people and artists gather for a “contest” to see who can guess the song before their opponent does.
This is their Christmas Song “battle.” (It’s fun to play along.)
Can you guess these Christmas classics before CCM legends, Michael W. Smith & Steven Curtis Chapman? Also, watch Wally take on Marc Martel of “How Many Kings” fame.

To say it has been a strange year is an understatement. Like many people, we often focus on what is wrong in our little world rather than what is good. Even with social distancing, masks, politics and the whole lot, we still have a lot to be thankful for.
We here at Raised on Hoecakes hope that you, your families and friends pause for a few moments today to consider and be thankful for all the blessings in your lives. We want to thank all the people who make this little corner of the blog-o-sphere happen as well as those who stop by and read the posts.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

This popped up on our Youtube feed and we found it fascinatingly beautiful.
There are parts where the echo slightly overwhelms the vocals, but that’s okay. It is still wonderful.
The Bethel College Choir sang in my grain bin!
Have you ever sung in a grain bin? We were honored to have the Bethel College Choir to come sing in our brand new grain bin. The acusticks [sic] in the grain bin are better than you would expect!
Long ago we decided that we would never do a fundraiser for this blog. We have always gladly assumed the costs associated with the hosting, domain name, etc.
However, we think we need to create a fundraiser in order to procure this:

This B-17E “Flying Fortress” is extremely rare, being one of the few Seattle built Boeing B-17’s surviving to date. Most of the other surviving B-17’s were built under license by either Lockheed or Douglas. (more…)

The next time you hear how evil the United States Marines, or all military members are, remember this.
A woman stranded in floodwaters in Washington, D.C., last week was rescued by a bus full of U.S. Marines who helped push her vehicle through the rising water to safety. (more…)
