Zombie Turkeys: Dark Humor How an Unknown Blogger Fought Unkillable Turkeys (The Life After Life Chronicles Book 1) byAndy Zach The leader of a group of turkeys, “Tom” has been infected with a zombie virus. He is enjoying his new strength, proud of the rising body count and happy with the access to more and more hens. Sam Melvin is a reporter for a small local newspaper “The Midley Beacon”. His editor Lisa sends him on a mission to find out about an infection of herds of wild turkeys with a strange disease. They have become aggressive and soon become murderous, attacking and killing farmers and their families. When the farmers fight back they discover these turkeys rise up despite missing body parts and continue the attack. They have become Zombie turkeys.

Sam and Lisa publish articles and create a sensation as well as helping locals put together it tip line on how to get the turkeys to stay dead. They fall in love and marry then turn the pursuit of turkey defeat into economic success with an internet hit, merch and sports events and a great white shark all in the name of the Zombie Turkey outbreak. There is twisted comedy and adventure as the couple travels seeking ways to prevent zombie turkeys from overtaking all of America. A bit dated now, but this includes a trip to the White House where the Obamas and Secret Service and in on the battle. Eventually a method is found but I won’t spoil it, but all in all it’s great fun and funny too.

My Christmas List – Continued – What’s on Yours?

From my family, I asked:

Chimay beer
Fragelico liquor
Grand Marnier liquor

But I don’t really need any of this. Other people have greater needs, so I encourage people to give these gifts in my name. Or yours.

All of these items are from GFA (Gospel for Asia/Africa) World, a Christian non-profit organization that helps the poor, widows, and orphans, of Asia and Africa.

Goats

$170 per pair, click to give.

Goats may or may not have been there to greet baby Jesus, but they sure are a great way to show His love to families in need. These animals provide meat and milk, and they can be sold for a good price. Increased income means more money for things like food and blankets, but it can also enable families to send their children to school, making a lasting difference in the fight against poverty.

Chickens

$15 per pair. Click to give.

Your gift towards chickens can help supplement a family’s income and get them on their feet financially. Hungry families can eat or sell the nutritious eggs, or they can hatch chicks to increase their flock and later have more eggs and chicks to sell. And every day, this gift can serve as a walking reminder that God sees them and He cares about them.

Blankets

Suggested gift: $25. Click to give.

Most families in the impoverished areas in which GFA serves have little or no insulation or heating in their homes. Those who sleep on the streets are even more exposed to the cold. For $25, you can help provide a blanket large enough to cover a whole family—mom, dad and little ones—with a tangible expression of Christ’s love!pres

My Christmas List – Winter Clothing

Passion of Christ’s love!

Suggested gift: $50. Click to give.

Harsh winters force many people indoors, hindering villagers from finding jobs and limiting pastors’ ability to minister. Winter clothing packets help GFA missionaries stay healthy and able to minister during cold seasons. Winter clothing distributed to the poor protects the vulnerable—especially children—from freezing cold.

Depending on the region, a winter clothing packet may include:

A Blanket
A Sweater
A Jacket
Other Warm Items

My Christmas List – Outdoor Toilets

Suggested gift: $540

Share the cost: $54 Click to give any amount.

More than a billion people worldwide have no choice but to go to the bathroom out in the open, which poses many risks, especially for women and girls who venture into open fields under the cover of darkness. Private outdoor toilets spare families from disease found at communal waste grounds and protect the dignity of men, women and children.
