The one question that every blood bought believer in the Lord Jesus Christ must ask themselves is "Why Paul"? Why did the Lord, after already having 12 apostles (from the Nation of Israel) commissioned by the "Great Commission" to take His name and His Word out unto the gentile nations (after Israel believes FIRST...Mat 10:23, Luke 24:47), commission this OTHER man named Paul to take His name to the gentiles (Mark 16:15, Acts 9:15)?
The Bible makes it clear that all the confusion amongst Christianity today can be attributed to the fact that the church the Body of Christ does not recognize the separate, distinct, and unique apostleship, ministry and message of Paul. My use of "our" and "your" when it comes to Paul's Apostleship is one that I take from the Apostle Himself.
In Romans chapter 11:13, Paul states, "For I speak to you gentiles, inasmuch as I am THE apostle of the gentiles, I magnify mine office". Note that he does not say that he magnifies or exalts HIMSELF, but his God given OFFICE as "our" Apostle. A quick study of the first few verses of Paul's 13 epistles Romans thru Philemon will show the student of scripture that Paul begins each and everyone of them with "Paul an apostle by the commandment of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" or something very similar to it. It was the will of God to make Paul our Apostle. The question is why?
Well, when Paul, as Saul of Tarsus was saved on the road to Damascus, PURELY by God's grace thru faith alone (Acts 9), he was the leader of the world's rebellion to what God was doing in the earth thru Israel (Acts 8). According to the Jewish, Old Testament
prophetic scriptures to the Nation of Israel, at the time when both the religious leaders of the Nation of Israel (in which Saul was the leader), along with the rest of the world/nations both rejected God, His Son The Lord Jesus Christ, and His Holy Ghost, God would no longer offer His longsuffering and forgiveness, but pour out His wrath without mercy (Ps 2:1-4, Ps 110).
This is where we were in history when Stephen saw the Lord Jesus Christ STANDING at the right hand of God the Father, when He was said by the prophets, to sit down UNTIL He made His enemies His footstool. In Act 7, the leaders of Israel rejected God again and stoned his prophet Stephen, a man full of the Holy Ghost (the unpardonable sin of Mark 3:29). When they did this, they laid there clothes at a young man's feet named Saul (Paul), as to honor him, and killed God's man Stephen. God now, according to prophecy, would pour out His wrath on a Christ rejecting nation/world. But instead of pouring out His wrath, he did something that the prophets did not foresee, that is, He poured out His GRACE instead! It is this dispensation of Grace, that has been going on the last 2 thousand years, that Paul was raised up to proclaim to the nations/gentiles.
Look for example at Ephesians 3:1-6, "For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was committed to me for you-ward, how that by revelation He (Christ) made known unto the MYSTERY...which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men..." It was this revelation of the Mystery of Christ that God kept hid til it was revealed to our Apostle to be given to us. Nowhere in the Old Testament did God EVER reveal that He would save gentiles WITHOUT going thru the Nation of Israel. Any mention of gentile salvation in the Old Testament was thru Israel's RISE, not their fall! But when Israel rejected God's Son, thus their salvation, God had a secret plan called the Mystery of Christ to fulfill His purpose. It was this hidden message that He gave to our Apostle Paul to give to us. This is what Paul means when he says in Ephesians 3:8, "...The UNSEARCHABLE riches of Christ...". It is these riches about God's Son that can not be searched out and found written in the Old Testament!
Paul calls it in Rom 16:25-26, "The preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the Mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest". In 1 Corinthians 2:6-9, Paul says that God kept it secret in order that Satan would not know it and try to stop it. Not only has God saved gentiles without the nation of Israel, but it is also thru this preaching of the Mystery of Christ that God has reclaimed the gov't of heaven (usurped by Satan...Job 1:6, Job 2:1, Job 15:15), as he will reclaim the gov't on earth thru believing Israel someday (Genesis 1:1, Romans 11:25-26, Ephesians 1:9-10, Colossians 1:16-17). Paul says in Romans 15:15-16, that HE is the minister of Jesus Christ to us gentiles. In 1 Cor 4:14-17, Paul says that we as gentiles ought to follow him and his teachings of Christ. In 1 Cor 11:1, he says we ought to follow him as he followed the Lord.
In Gal 1:11-12, he says that his preaching of Christ was not from man, but from Christ Himself. In Gal 2:6-9, he teaches Peter, James, and John (the head apostles to the Nation of Israel) HIS info, and they stopped the "great commission", which was NEVER to go to gentiles UNTIL Israel was saved FIRST! But Paul says in Romans 11:11, that thru Israel's FALL, salvation has gone to us gentiles. God's dealings with the world has changed from the Jewish "Gospel of the kingdom" preached by John the baptist, the Lord during His earthly ministry to Israel, and the 12 Jewish apostles (Mat 10:5-6, 15:23-24). The gospel for today, that Paul calls "my gospel" (Rom16:25), is the "Gospel of the Grace of God"...Acts 20:24.
By the way, Paul did not even QUALIFY to be an apostle under the great commission because one had to be with them from the beginning of John the baptist's ministry all the way thru to the Lord's ascension (Acts 1:21-23). He also committed the unpardonable sin...blaspheming the Holy Ghost speaking thru Stephen!
No, Paul was a separate, distinct, unique apostle sent to us gentiles. Look at Col 1:25-26, Paul says that he is the minister of God for this present dispensation of the Grace of God (Israel was under the Law...Romans 6:14). In 1 Timothy 2:5-7, Paul says that he is the
preacher, teacher, apostle of the gentiles. In Titus 1:1-5, Paul says that his message is a "due time" testimony of Christ in which he is the preacher, as opposed to everyone else.
HOW TO STUDY rightly dividing the word of truth
In this day and age, a Christian can go to a bookstore and find a mass of resources regarding, "how to study God's Word". Without a doubt, many of these can provide insight in connection with many things regarding God's Word, for instance: geography, measurements, cultural characteristics, and the like. Yet, these are more study aids and resources about things in the Bible than books on "how to study" the Bible.
There are books that provide steps to study the Bible, steps designed to provide you, if followed, with an understanding of any given passage.
There are also systematic theology books that compartmentalize doctrines for you. Commentaries are also a main source for many as they study God's Word. The question becomes with all these "how to's" and resources to understanding the scriptures, is this how God tells you to study HIS WORD?
When a Christian, with honesty of heart, asks this question and desires a godly answer the very thing they are seeking, "how to study", will be found in God's Word. There are some vital issues concerning "how to study" found in God's Word itself, which He Himself provides for us. One of the biggest issues is set forth in 2 Timothy 2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." The apostle Paul was the only one that God gave the instruction to study, as well as, "how to study". The reason for this is because due to God's purpose and ministry to Paul demanded for those who would study His Word to separate or divide some things from other things.
If Paul wasn't in the Bible there would be nothing to "rightly divide" one from the other. Due to the nature of the ministry God gave Paul and "the hidden wisdom" contained therein, as well as, the diverse nature of the information given to Paul compared to the information previous to him starting in Acts 9, it is necessary to "rightly divide the word of truth". Therefore, Paul is the sole receiver of God's instructions to "rightly divide", because of the ministry given to Paul. Without going into great detail let me provide a general summary of what is involved in "rightly dividing the word of truth".
The right division of God's Word recognizes God's two-fold plan and purpose through the ages or time. This two-fold plan and purpose is broken into three separate time periods or what God through Paul calls – "time past", "but now", and "the ages to come". God's two-fold plan and purpose involves two entities of His workmanship: 1) True Israel (believing Israel), and 2) The Body of Christ. These are two different, separate, and unique entities of God that He planned to not only create, but utilize for His plan and purpose of His universe.
In "time past", God formed and Fathered the nation of Israel into existence starting in Genesis 12 with Abram. The majority of space to follow, in the Bible, is given to His program with His nation Israel – Genesis-Acts 7. God communicated at this time through prophecy, or, what He made known through the mouth of all His holy prophets "since the world began." (Acts 3:21) However, in Acts 9 God did something unexpected and un-prophesied; He put on hold His prophesied program, raised up a brand new apostle, the apostle Paul, ushered in this dispensation of grace in which we live, and committed to Paul "the mystery of Christ", that which God kept secret since the world began (Eph. 3:1-12), as well as, all the instructions, commandments, and information we need to understand today.
This Dispensation of Grace started with Paul (Acts 9:1ff; 1 Tim. 1:15-16) and will end with the rapture of the body of Christ (1 Cor. 15:51ff; 1 Thess. 4:13-18). The time in which we live is referenced by Paul as "but now". The information is not of a prophetic nature; therefore, you cannot understand what Paul was given by the information contained in Genesis-Acts 7, because it was a "mystery" and "unsearchable". Paul was given "the mystery of Christ", that which God hid in Himself since the beginning of the world (Rom. 16:25; Eph. 3:1-12). After the rapture of the body of Christ God will resume His prophetic program with Israel and fulfill all His plans, promises, and covenants with her and the world through the believing remnant of Israel, as they pertain to them (Roman 9:1-4). This time period Paul references as "to come" or "the ages to come".
The context and information used at this time is found after Paul's epistles in Hebrews-Revelation. This time includes the tribulation and great tribulation periods, the millennial kingdom, and great white throne judgment. Lastly, "the ages to come" also involves "the mystery of His will" or "the dispensation of times" (Eph. 1:9-10) which will take place after the great white throne judgment where He will "gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him" (Eph. 1:10); in other words, God will gather: the world through Israel on this earth with that of the body of Christ in the heavenly places, together under the imperial headship of the Lord Jesus Christ. God will have thus "…having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." (Col. 1:20)
It is needful therefore that we "rightly divide the word of truth". Recognizing and acknowledging God's two-fold singular plan & purpose to reconcile all things back to Himself. This two-fold singular plan & purpose to reconcile all things (things on earth and things in heaven) back to Himself is recorded on the pages of God's Word and demands we study in like manner. Recognizing these differences in our study, keeping them separate where need be, and also acknowledging the similarities between God's two programs is all part of "rightly dividing". This takes "study" and being "a workman" resulting in whether we are and will be "approved unto God" or not. For further consideration of this essential issue, if God specifically gave the apostle Paul the instructions to "study" and how to study, one could logically and naturally expect Paul to be doing this very thing in his epistles.
Look Up,
Pastor Josh Strelecki
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of
bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit
itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God,
and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together." -
The following study contains thoughts in regards to the passage above. These thoughts assume the
fundamentals of right division and the divine design of godly edification. Therefore, it adheres to the right
division method of study, but also recognizes the method of edificational study.
The issue of "inheritance" is an important one. The issue of "inheritance" is important for multiple
reasons, most vital to believers because it describes details of "the life to come". Details of what takes place
when we die and shortly thereafter. Many aspects of "inheritance" will be considered, but not all. In
connection with the above passage it is my understanding that there are many things the reader and student of
God's Word should know before they ever get to Romans 8:14-17. These things include and are not limited to:
the Davidic Covenant, the doctrine of the Christ and His inheritance, the New Testament, and key issues found in
the previous chapters in the book of Romans.
It is my understanding that this issue of "heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ" does not take place in
a vacuum; it is intertwined with, connected to, and generated from other issues. These issues we must briefly
look at if we are to handle this passage and receive any deeper measure of understanding other than that which
can be had simply by the verses themselves. It is my understanding the reader and student is responsible for
any previous information found in Romans and/or from Genesis-Acts. When Paul brings up the issue of "sons of
God" and "adoption" it is supposed to make us "cry" something; therefore, we must have some understanding
of some things before we get to Romans 8:14-17. In fact Paul doesn't explain the significance of being "the sons
of God" here, he expects you already know. The issue of "sons of God" has come up prior in Romans a few
times, all in regards to God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. (This alone is evidence that as all believers are sons, so
too are all not only "heirs of God", but also therefore "joint-heirs with Christ".) One of those times is in Romans
1:1-4 which concerns the gospel of God, which concerns God's Son as He was "made of the seed of David
according to the flesh." Therefore, in understanding what being a "son of God" holds for us, we too, as God's
sons and daughters, must understand some things in connection with God's Son and the doctrinal content that
describes that issue which was given during David's time, primarily through the Davidic Covenant.
The Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7; entirety of the Psalms) is generally set forth in 2 Samuel 7, but
declared by David in the book of the Psalms. Fundamentally, the Davidic Covenant sets forth God enfleshing
Himself in the seed line of David, to do for Israel what Israel could not do for themselves. Within the Psalms God
sets forth what His Son will do, what He will do with His Son, and His inheritance, etc. Even though the
Twin Cities Grace Fellowship
2 | P a g e
declaration of doctrinal details of the Davidic Covenant is found in the Psalms, 2 Samuel 7 will be profitable to
set forth in general, the matter at hand, in regards to Christ's inheritance.
2 Samuel 7:11-16, "And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and
have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which
shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I
will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit
iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But my mercy shall
not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine house and thy
kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever." Here there're 4
fundamental matters: 1) God will be a father to David's seed and David's seed will be a son to David's God, 2)
God will establish His Son's throne, 3) God will establish His Son's throne FOREVER, 4) God is going to make
David's seed His house; in other words, God is going to enflesh Himself in the seed line of David (aka – Christ
made of the seed of David according to the flesh).
As Romans 8:14-17 is in the context of being a "son of God", which hearkens back to the Davidic Covenant these
matters must be dealt with most fundamentally. The matter which I want to point out is numbers 2 & 3: the
issues of God establishing the throne of David's seed and doing it FOREVER. Two fundamental matters are
involved in the inheritance of the Christ: 1) eternal life, and 2) a throne or ruling and reigning.
As the Davidic Covenant is further spelled out and declared in detail in the book of the Psalms these two
fundamental matters become even more prevalent.
In Psalm 2, the psalmist describes the cooperation of the Jews and Gentiles against God's anointed.
Prophetically, this takes place during the Lord's earthly ministry and continues on after His death, burial, and
resurrection. In :6-7 God explains, "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree:
The LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." God has not only raised Christ
from the dead, but has "set" Him in a position of reigning. As God described He was pleased with His Son during
His earthly ministry, the day God is speaking of in Psalm 2 is when He raises Christ from the dead and sets Him.
Therefore, Christ's inheritance is twofold, both the issue of being the "begotten from the dead" and being "set"
as king upon God's holy hill.
In Psalm 16:10-11, "For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore" we find the same twofold breakdown. God will not "leave Christ's soul in hell", also the
issue of His body will not see corruption and not only will He have life, but will be shown the "path of life…at
God's right hand". God's right hand being a prominent position of authority.
Twin Cities Grace Fellowship
3 | P a g e
In Psalm 110:1, "The LORD said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy
footstool" and in the verses that follow we see the twofold issue as well. Christ will have "the dew of thy youth"
(:3) and He will "sit thou at my right hand".
It is evident therefore, that Christ's inheritance is made up of resurrected life and a position of authority. This
would make sense, sense Adam, the first Adam was made in a position of rulership, that the second Adam
would need to provide justification of life because of the first Adam's fall and Himself reconcile the authority.
Further information can be found in 1 Corinthians 15. These are but a few passages dealing with this issue, but
may they suffice it for now.
When the apostle Paul therefore describes being an apostle of Jesus Christ to share the issue of the
gospel of God, which concerns His Son "which was made of the seed of David and declared to be the Son of God
with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead" then we can expect therefore
for Paul to both bring up "life" and "reigning". However, we also can expect Paul to administer them in their
proper sense and sequence. "Reigning" and a throne forever, although the ultimate goal and objective hinges
upon "life". It would be "life" that God gives first granting access to "this grace" which is abundant to provide
the necessary means to "reign". Paul proceeds to set forth the details of the gospel of Christ and how we
become beneficiaries of justification unto eternal life. To become a beneficiary of the first aspect and therefore
access to the second aspect we respond to the death, burial, and resurrection for our sins by faith and faith
alone. At the moment we believe we are 'at-one' with Christ. We therefore, receive the gift of eternal life.
Even though Paul doesn't use the terminology, much like other times and times ahead in Paul's epistles, God will
set forth the concept and then name that concept. When we are justified unto eternal life we therefore inherit
"life". We not only receive "life" by and through Christ, but we also "live with Him" as taught in Romans 6. In
fact, as a consequence of receiving eternal life, we partake in that life now, thus are "crucified with Him" and
"live with Him" having the privilege to bear fruit unto holiness and the end being everlasting life (Rom. 6:14-23),
thus describing fundamentally, the fruit we bear now in this life, has impact upon the life to come. We are
therefore, upon the moment of faith in Christ, "heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ".
As God's children, His sons, we are "heirs of God" and because we are not the first or only child, son or
daughter; therefore, are "joint-heirs with Christ". When one is involved with an "inheritance" as part of a family
with a father and siblings, not just one child, but with many siblings or at least one other, it is natural, very
natural, to look at the inheritance in two ways: the inheritance from the father's perspective and the same
inheritance in the perspective of having siblings and therefore coheirs (my understanding coheirs and joint heirs
have different shades of meaning). In other words, it is natural to perceive the inheritance one receives from
the father, but also natural to perceive the inheritance in light of who you share it with. By definition a "jointheir"
is one who jointly inherits with another heir the right to inherit a person's money, property, title, etc.
Therefore, as we inherited "life" and "live with Him" because we inherit together this "life" we are "joint-heirs
with Christ". Christ is an "heir of God" providing us to be "heirs of God" with Him, thus making us "joint-heirs
with Christ". In other words, in order to have "eternal life" we must jointly share it with Christ, for it is His life,
promised to Him by His Father, as "THE SEED". Yet, we also are counted as "THE SEED", being in Christ, through
Twin Cities Grace Fellowship
4 | P a g e
faith in Him. As He is "THE SEED" and we in Him, we are joint-heirs with Him. However, this isn't the point of
Romans 8:16-17, for we should already understand this by the time we get to Romans 8:16-17, it is the
information within the realm of being "heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ" that the Spirit is going to fulfill
the purpose of bearing witness to our spirit, by taking this understanding and adding to it the information after
the semi-colon (;); that is, "if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together."
Life in Christ and living with Him, jointly sharing in His life is not all of the inheritance. This portion or aspect of
the inheritance we jointly share, the moment we trust Christ. Even though justification unto eternal life gives us
access to the second portion or second aspect of the inheritance, it does not come automatic. This secondary
aspect of the inheritance is contingent upon something, just as it was and is for Christ. The contingency is found
in numerous places, one of which is in the New Testament. According to a will and testament the testator can
describe any portion, aspect, or all of the inheritance as freely given or place a condition upon all or part of it.
For example a testament can explain that all the inheritors will get equal share of an aspect of the estate. If
there are 4 inheritors and 100 acres of land, each inheritor will get 25 acres of land as part of their inheritance,
etc. Nevertheless, the testator can place conditions upon other aspects of the inheritance. For example, let's
say there are 2 inheritors now, to inherit the running of the testators business. Yet, the condition upon the
running of the testators business is conditioned upon finishing college with a bachelor's degree. Then it is
incumbent upon the inheritor if they desire to inherit the running of the testators business, or this aspect of the
inheritance, to go to college and graduate with a bachelor's degree. In fact, due to the stipulations of the
testament the inheritor cannot run the business unless this qualification is met. It is my understanding that the
details of the New Testament, don't describe this in great detail, for the testator would do this (the gospel
accounts), but do provide for a condition aspect of the inheritance, per, Jeremiah 31:34, "and they shall teach
no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know
me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:…" Here we find an equality (know the
LORD), but within that equality provision for hierarchy. It is my understanding the hierarchy is based first upon
how well they "know the LORD". This "knowing the LORD" or this "knowledge" would provide them the
necessary instructions to qualify them as "greatest of them". One therefore should expect the testator, the Lord
Jesus Christ to talk about how one will be "least" and how one will be "greatest", of which He does in the gospel
accounts. He also does this in regards to "the mystery" through the apostle Paul.
It is my understanding the aspect of Christ's inheritance of reigning according to the Davidic Covenant had a
condition upon it of "suffering". "The sufferings of Christ" as told by the mouth of the prophets, David being
one of them in the Psalms, would ensure and grant Christ a position of authority upon resurrection from dead;
in fact, the position of the "first begotten", "the firstborn". Death being a stipulation for resurrection not to
reign, but suffering unto death a stipulation for reigning. I will note briefly 1 Peter 1:6-12 to validate that the
prophets spoke of this issue.
The writer of Hebrews also describes this issue in the entirety of chapter 2. Hebrews 2:9-13, "But we see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that
he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by
Twin Cities Grace Fellowship
5 | P a g e
whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through
sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not
ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church
will I sing praise unto thee. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which
God hath given me."
Making "salvation perfect through sufferings" is an expression describing the 2 aspects of the inheritance and
the conditional placed upon perfection of salvation. Therefore, it should be no surprise as these things are dealt
with in Israel's program in both the issues of the Davidic Covenant regarding "redemption" and the New
Testament in regards to "the spirit of holiness" that it is, for the Apostle Paul to preach these matters per "the
gospel of God" concerning His Son which was made from the seed of David and the Son which is declared to be
with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. It should come to no surprise
then to find Paul an able minister of the spiritual things of the New Testament and a preacher of the gospel of
God to teach us as beneficiaries of them by God's grace the twofold aspect of our inheritance and further detail
of "our inheritance" first by talking about "the creature" and our involvement of it in Romans 8.
In summary, it is my understanding that the two-fold aspect of "the inheritance" is supposed to be understood
by the Davidic Covenant and the New Testament. As Paul introduces both of these issues in the opening 5
verses of Romans 1, we are to expect them to come up in Romans. We therefore, see the two-fold issue come
up in Romans 5:17, with "reigning in life" by the reception of "the abundance of grace and the gift of
righteousness", "the gift of righteousness" providing "life" and "the abundance of grace" to be something we
access providing for us opportunity to "reign in life". It is "this grace" that Paul wants to "abound" in Romans 6
learning that our baptism into Christ's death, burial, and resurrection has granted our fruit unto holiness and the
end everlasting life to be produced. Our new identity in Christ thus gives us the privilege as "sons" (Romans 8)
to partake in the further conditional aspect of the inheritance.
This conditional aspect does not provide us to be a "joint-heir", but rather as a "joint-heir with Christ" to inherit
eminence, fulness, glory. This eminence, fulness, and glory is consistent with "reigning in life" in Romans 8:17
and thus God's grace has provided us the privilege of "suffering with Him" in order to be "glorified together".
Notice the groups of information in Romans 8:16-17 and how they are bracketed by the punctuation marks,
serving how we are to group the information and think of it, both as a whole and in component parts. He first
starts with "children of God":
{and if children, then heirs;}
{heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;}
{if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.}
In the realm of our inheritance as "children of God" we are "heirs of God" in relation to God; however, in relation
to Christ we are not heirs of Christ, but rather as children, as sons, as He is, we are "joint-heirs with Christ." This
Twin Cities Grace Fellowship
6 | P a g e
is what "bearing witness" provides for, taking one step by step, advancing their thinking in what they already
know to provide the next step that is unknown to them. It is my understanding from both the Davidic Covenant,
the New Testament, and from Paul's ministering of those things in his gospel thus far in Romans one should
already know, "that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ;", which is why the Spirit is bearing witness; however, what one doesn't know fully, but would expect it if
they understood the matters previously listed, is that "if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also
glorified together." In fact, one cannot do anything "with Him" unless they are first made a "joint-heir with
Him". In other words, "suffering with Him" is a privilege that becoming a "joint-heir with Him" provides. In
other words, "suffering with Him" is contingent upon being a "joint-heir with Christ" not what makes us a "jointheir
with Christ". Nevertheless, it is within our "joint-heir with Christ" status that we have access to partake in
being "glorified together" upon "suffering with Him". It is the "glorified together" issue that is not only
contingent upon being a "joint-heir with Christ", but also upon "suffering with Him" as "heirs of God, and jointheirs
of Christ". This not only keeps in line with the Davidic Covenant, the New Testament and therefore the will
and testament, but also Romans and most importantly the context and order in which the information is given.
One short-hands themselves, God, and Christ when "the suffering with Him" is made a contingent for being a
"joint-heir with Christ". Rather, the contingency is as a "joint-heir with Christ" to "suffer with Him" THAT
(purpose clause), not to be a "joint-heir with Him", but THAT WE MAY BE "glorified together". This "glorified
together" issue is what Paul will further develop. It is this "glory" that is parallel to "reigning with Him" and not
becoming a "joint-heir with Christ". Again, being already a "joint-heir with Christ" grants us access to being
"glorified together". This is why Paul says what he says in 2 Timothy 2:8-13,
"Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: wherein I
suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all
things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: if we suffer, we shall also reign
with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us: if we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny
As far as a few additional matters, this makes sense therefore, when Paul explains in Ephesians 4:13, "till we all
come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of Christ:" It is a measure of stature (eminence) of the fulness of Christ that we are
after, a measure of glory, a weight of glory we are after (2 Cor. 4:17). Christ has the "preeminence", but we can
"obtain" a measure of that and thus be "glorified together". This makes sense of other passages like Ephesians
5:5, Philippians 3:14, Colossians 3:24; as well as, 1 Corinthians 15:22-32, 35-41, 2 Cor. 3:18. This also makes
sense in regards to Christ being mentioned as "the firstborn" of two issues in Colossians 1.
We all inherit jointly Christ's life and a new glorious body, the issue becomes within that joint-heirship is what
"measure", what "weight" of glory, if any at all. This is why there is a two-fold issue of our new glorious body, it

is glorious compared to our current body, but it will also be decked with further glory based upon our "suffering
with Him" manifesting us in qualified positions to reign (hence 1 Cor. 15:35-41).
One should also take into consideration when determining whether there is two inheritances or two aspects of
one inheritance the issue of God's inheritance. Paul calls God's inheritance just that, "His inheritance in the
saints" (Eph. 1:18); yet, His inheritance consists of "saints", His inheritance includes two realms of His creation,
the heaven and the earth, but it is His inheritance, singular. When we received life, when we will receive a new
body, and when some receive a "weight of glory" we will not view it as our inheritance(s), but our inheritance
and all of it was because we are "joint-heirs with Christ", the matter again is to what "measure", to what degree,
if any at all.
Look Up,
The Judgment Seat of Christ & Reward
Reward, prizes, and competition can be gruesome, unfair, and cultivate
selfishness and an ego in this world. We should automatically know then when our
heavenly Father speaks of "reward" and "the prize of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus" that its obtainment is given based upon His own standard, rather than the
"wisdom of this world".
It should be noted that "the judgment seat of Christ" along with "reward" and
"loss" do exist (Rom. 14:10; 1 Cor. 3:12-15, 9:24-27; 2 Cor. 5:9-10; Php. 3:14; 2 Tim. 2:5).
Yet, the event of "the judgment seat of Christ" and it's "reward" and "loss" are not
obtained until after the rapture the church, the Body of Christ. Therefore, it can be
plainly understood along with the corresponding passages that "reward" and "loss" are a
by-product of something we do in "the life that now is". It can also be said, the "life that
now is" can profit us "in the life to come (1 Tim. 4:8)." In other words, our Christian life
means something and certain things we do or don't do are rewardable by God or not.
Every Christian will stand before "the judgment seat of Christ" because of who
God has made us to be "in Christ" when He not only justified us unto eternal life, but
also sanctified us unto functional life by making us "dead indeed to sin and alive unto
God (Rom. 6:11)." In so sanctifying us and making us members of "the new creature"
He has made it so that we can now live unto Him and be used by Him to replace the
current holders of the positions of governmental rule in the heavenly places, in order to
reconcile those positions unto Himself.
The capstone of our sanctified position in Christ is the issue of God dealing with
us as "sons". In dealing with us as "sons" God is dealing with us as one's who He expects
to labor together with Him in what He is now doing, and in doing so look forward to
eventually entering into His business with Him. This is what receiving "the adoption of
sons" (Rom. 8:14-15; Gal. 4:1-7) is all about. God has provided us the honored privilege
to be educated by Him in His ways and work and to do so with the intention and
motivation of entering into His business with Him. God has brought us into that greater
intimate relationship with Him; therefore, educating us in His mind, ways, and work.
He is enabling us right now to labor with Him in things that He is doing with the very
pointed intention of us entering into His business with Him of reconciling the heavenly
places unto Himself.
It is in this context of us receiving "the adoption of sons" that "the judgment seat
of Christ" is not only brought up, but has its' ultimate objective. The objective being the
evaluation when it comes to determining how well His "sons and daughters" can enter
into His business and how much responsibility they can handle in it. At this time God
Twin Cities Grace Fellowship
2 | P a g e
will evaluate our response to His desire and provision to educate us in His mind, ways,
and work and on the basis of the evaluation He will determine how much responsibility
we are qualified to handle in His business.
The basic nature of the evaluation will be us "giving an account" of ourselves to
God in connection with what He has said that He wants us to do in view of Him
sanctifying us "in Christ." The essence of what God wants us to do is to be "godly"; in
other words, think like He thinks, live like He wants us to and labor with Him in the
things He is doing in this dispensation. Our Father, being the Father He is, has
graciously and fully provided us with the doctrine we need to be educated in "godliness"
(1 Tim. 1:3-4). 1 Corinthians 3:10ff describes each of us as "God's building" with "the
foundation" being who God has made us to be "in Christ Jesus" which is doctrinally
found in Romans 1-11: the rest of the blueprint or pattern for the structure of our "godly
edifying" being in Romans 12-Philemon. When we build upon the "foundation" of who
God has made us to be "in Christ" we build with either "gold, silver, and precious stones"
which are materials that are meet to the nature of the "foundation" thereby glorifying it,
adorning it, and honoring or when we do otherwise, either by not specifically following
Paul's blueprint "as the wise masterbuilder" or by following and educating ourselves
with "the wisdom of this world" we then build with "wood, hay, stubble" which are
contrary to the nature of the "foundation" thereby defaming and dishonoring it, which
materials will not be permitted to remain forever. If we build "godliness" upon the
foundation of our justified and sanctified position "in Christ" we "shall receive a reward"
in that day. If we do not do so, our "work shall be burned" and we "shall suffer loss"; no
reward because the work was not proper, along with the loss of what had been built.
A "reward" is compensation for work done that has pleased the one who gave you
the opportunity to work for him or with him. The exact nature of the "reward" is not
described in this passage, but is defined later in 1 Corinthians 9:25 when Paul says, "and
every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to
obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible." A crown is associated with being
in a position of authority and rulership or privilege over others. In view of the fact that
in God's plan and purpose for us as stated in 1 Corinthians 6 that we "shall judge the
world" and "that we shall judge angels"; and in view of the fact that being the church the
body of Christ we are "the fulness of Him that filleth all in all" in connection with the
governmental positions in the heavenly places; the "reward" of the "incorruptible"
crown has to do with particular positions of authority we are worthy to fulfill and occupy
(See Eph. 1:21; Col. 1:16 for more about the positions).
If you're wondering, "how are we going to know what to do and what are we to
know to fill these positions since everything will be new to us?" our present education in
"godliness" is the very thing that trains us for occupying and functioning in those
positions. Briefly note 1 Corinthians 6:11ff when Paul strongly reproves them for going
Twin Cities Grace Fellowship
3 | P a g e
to law with another and for not exercising their own wisdom and judgment among
themselves to settle the matter, the basis of his reproof is they are not exercising right
now the very same kind of wisdom and judgment God is going to expect them to
exercise in the future when they as saints "judge the world" and "judge angels". In light
of Paul's reproof they are supposed to look upon their present ability to make godly
decisions and judgments regarding these "smallest matters" and "things that pertain to
this life" as training and practice, so to speak, for the godly judgments to come. Again,
God has built into the doctrine for our "godly edifying" the very issues of training,
practice, and equipping for the future, that furnishes us with the knowledge and ability
to function in one of the positions of governmental rulership.
It is a truth therefore that in regards to the reward we are to "strive to obtain" and
"strive lawfully". The issue of "reward" is based upon the Cross-work of Christ and the
full measure of what it provided for. A believer can be rewarded with such a position if
they "strive to obtain". If one so has the desire and strives according to the doctrine of
"godliness" found in our edification. In other words, if one strives lawfully according to
the doctrine of godly edifying which provides one to think the way God does, live the
way God lives, and labor with Him in what He is doing in this dispensation of grace they
will be rewarded with a position of authority and responsibility in the life to come that is
meet or fitting to their striving in godliness in the life that now is. It should be noted
being motivated by the Cross and being motivated to obtain the prize as our Apostle
Paul did are one in the same, for it was the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ that
made it possible not only to justify you, but to provide knowledge of "the measure of the
stature of the fulness of Christ" giving you the capacity to measure up to such fulness.
Simply put, although Christ died to justify you and you can live any way you think or
want, He died to justify you and to live His life in you which is rewardable by Him. The
reward is a by-product of the effectual working of the doctrine unto godly edifying;
therefore when we "strive to obtain" our godly edification provides the qualifications to
obtain it and motivates to "strive lawfully" following the instructions set forth in our
edification like esteeming others higher than ourselves (Rom. 12:3): the epitome of the
thinking and heart of any saint who will be rewarded with a position of authority and
responsibility. For their heart and mind will need to match the One they will be ruling
and reigning with, the Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed and only Potentate. I don't know
about you, but I want someone like that over me. May we not allow "the course of this
world" and Satan's plan of evil against our edification to "beguile" or "spoil" us of our
reward and as Paul instructs, "…be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed
by the renewing of your mind…"
Twin Cities Grace Fellowship
4 | P a g e
May we all run to obtain and strive lawfully for the prize the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus, thinking of others in order to obtain; knowing full well we run not like
the world, nor to obtain what the world has to offer and follow our edification that
transforms us instead of the world that conforms us.

Microsoft, looking for the next generation of technology stars, found a few in the company's annual event that brought to Seattle groups of high-school and university engineers .
Microsoft, looking for the next generation of technology stars, found a few in the company's Imagine Cup competition, which honored the winners Friday.
The annual event brought to Seattle groups of high-school and university engineers who had built everything from adventure games to virtual-reality software designed to simulate the perspective of someone suffering from dementia.
Winning teams in three categories each earned a $50,000 cash prize and a place in Microsoft programs designed to help developers and startups get off the ground.
The grand champion was a crew of university students from Brazil.
The eFitFashion team, hailing from São Paulo, built algorithms that customize clothing patterns based on a user's measurements and connects the buyer with tailors and seamstresses in an online marketplace.
The motivation behind the product, said team member Bianca Letti, was to provide people with clothes that fit and save time for the people making them. They spent three years on the effort. With Microsoft's support, "We can show the world that our project can have a global scale," Letti said.
Steve Guggenheimer, the Microsoft corporate vice president who leads developer outreach, said the contest is a natural way to reach out to young technology talent. "It's nice to have the next generation come and interact with us," he said.
The contest, in its 13th year, drew about 330,000 entrants, Guggenheimer said.
Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella, back from a trip to Kenya to celebrate the launch of the Windows 10 operating system, took the stage wearing a T-shirt bearing a popular new icon for employees and fans of the company: a cat holding a Microsoft flag riding a fire-breathing unicorn.
"What you started is going to grow," he said to a room full of competitors, judges and employees. "It isn't going to grow because of some investors … It's going to grow because of your passion, your dreams."

You could use it as a purse strap.ReplyDelete
I'm a relatively new follower and will post some ideas too!ReplyDelete
Try painting it and using it as trim around a mirror or picture frame. :o)ReplyDelete
How about stretchy legs and arms for a clown.ReplyDelete
I am a followerReplyDelete
Ringlets for a doll or stuffed toyReplyDelete
I always use to say my best friend had telephone cord hair, and would use it for a doll, like Tamara mentioned. Though, depending on how thick and intact the casing is, you could pull out the color coated wires and use them for jewelry making or other adornments on crafts.ReplyDelete
My first thought was a purse handle too, but not just plain. I would do a fabric tube to cover it, & use it as a base for the strap. That way it would look a little nicer & not just stretch out on you.ReplyDelete
Another idea would be to use it as a sippy cup "leash." Cover it with fabric, but with the fabric longer than the unstretched cord (so it'll scrunch up over the cord), then attach VELCRO or ribbon to each end to attach to the cup/bottle/whatever and the other end to the stroller/high chair/whatever. The fabric will keep it from stretching too far, but the cord will be a little stronger than using regular elastic.ReplyDelete
...and thanks for stopping by my blog. Now I am a follower!ReplyDelete
Oh this is an interesting game! First thing that comes to mind is to secure a bag in a wastebasket. I have a wastebasket that the garbage bag often slips down and keep thinking I need something easy to slip around the top of it to seceru it in place, but easy enough to take off and on so taking the garbage out and inserting a new bag isn't a problem.ReplyDelete
I'm a follower now too. So glad I found you!ReplyDelete
You could cut off individual rounds of the spiral, wrap them in fabric, yarn, or thread & have adjustable rings.ReplyDelete
Humm this could be a cute matt to a picture, take the glass out of a frame insert picture and then have the phone cord around.ReplyDelete
I'm a new follower!ReplyDelete
make a phone cord necklace :)
add a cute fabric flower on it to doll it up!
How about spiraling it up and securing each spiral on top of the last with hot glue for a vase or pencil holder?
Fun blog! Found you on Sew Much Ado's linky party.
Cut into about four lengths (different lengths) and glue spirals together to make solid hollow lengths. Then with floral wire, wrap around each length in the middle to make a row of individual bud vases that are all attached. You'd probably need a base to make it stand - if you have any small suction cups, they would make good bases glued into the bottom of each length of phone cord vase. Otherwise, some sort of object with a flat base and a peg to go into the base of the vases would work. It makes sense in my mind - but it's hard to explain it just right without drawing a picture!ReplyDelete
I am thinking you could cover it with fabric (or dye it) and use it as a purse strap.ReplyDelete
I am now a follower.
So this seems silly, but the first thing I thought of when I saw it was "dog leash". My dog is constantly exploring without permission :)ReplyDelete
You could add it to an "I spy" bag or treeReplyDelete
How about using it as a garland of sorts and hanging things off of it?ReplyDelete
color it and twist it around a pair of flip-flopsReplyDelete
my kids would love to use it as a bungy cord for their toys.ReplyDelete
I agree with Bree! Put fabric around it! Thanks for linking up to Hoo's got talent and I can't wait to see what you do with this!ReplyDelete
I hate cords! So what you could do is use this on your cords to keep them all together and easier to hide.ReplyDelete

2017 Red Stick Mom of the Year Finalists
We received some amazing nominees for our second annual Red Stick Mom of the Year campaign … nominated by husbands, fiancés, daughters, sons, sisters, and friends … all who have made a difference in the lives of others and who motivate and inspire those around them. Selecting the top finalists from all of the nominations proved to be a very difficult task.
A team of objective judges will determine the Red Stick Mom of the Year from the finalists below, and the winner will be announced on Sunday, May 7th!
Top 10 Finalists
Katie Foret
{Nominated by :: Jada Bruce} Katie is a mom to 3 beautiful children. When she was pregnant with her youngest daughter, Gia, her sister was killed in a tragic plane crash leaving behind two children – Smith and Addie. Without hesitation, she adopted her sisters children, and has raised them as her own. She is also the wife to a LEO, works in the NICU at Woman's Hospital, and is a fitness instructor! She's definitely one of those moms that make you say "I don't know how she does it." She's a beautiful person inside and out and is most deserving of this beautiful honor.
Andrea Stick
{Nominated by :: Jessica Madere} My mom works so hard for her kids, and their friends. She took in friends when their families were not taking care of them when we were young. She watches my child during the week to save me on daycare. She will do anything for my brother and I, and anyone she meets. She and my dad flooded in August, and she is still struggling with contractors to get her home back. The stress of dealing with no show contractors, things getting broken, and still taking care of us, gets to her some days. I would love for her to get this award and give her the pick-me-up she needs to get through the rest of this rebuilding process. She is so humble, asks for little, and does a lot. She deserves to be recognized on a bigger scale than normal. My friends and I always make sure to thank her for all she does, but this would just be amazing for her! Please, please, consider her. She deserves the recognition that I alone can't give her.
Brandi Wheat
{Nominated by :: Ashley Hawthorne} I have never known a more loving and kind mom than Brandi Wheat. She selflessly gives of herself to care for her three children, support her husband, and even extended family. Brandi's daughter has albanism and a vision impairment. She champions this little lady with grace. I admire deeply how she has taught Emma to be confident despite this uniqueness. If Brandi is not teaching in her classroom, she's fixing a meal for someone who is sick or volunteering to help her community excel. She is often found at the ball field cheering on her rising baseball stars! Everyone who knows Brandi, knows she is a superhero.
Leslie Gamino
{Nominated by :: Brittany Reid} Where do I start. She is the Mother of 4 kids. Her last two kids that were born in 2014 were twin girls. They were born early which caused complications with them both and they stayed in NICU for a long time. After 8 months of fighting Hannah passed away. The other twin Isabella had a small brain bleed at birth which ultimately resulted in her having Celebral Palsy. Leslie does eveeything in her power to make sure Isabella gets the best therapy possible. She's in therapy 2-4 times a week and even traveling an hour to try out a new therapy that will cost a lot but she wants to give her every chance she can. So she's making shirts to help raise money for it. She does all this while still making sure her two other children get to and from school, baseball practice, cheer practice, get their homework done and get the love and attention they need. I don't know how she does it some days but she always does. She's a great Mother and I'm lucky to call her my best friend.
Janet Craft
{Nominated by :: Lauren Williams} 500 words is not enough. My mother is the definition of love and selflessness. She sacrificed everything she had to provide my sister and I with the best start to life. Raising us while my father worked to provide for 4 people. She very recently quit her job to stay home and help to care for my medically fragile son while my husband and I work full-time. Helping us to bring him to appointments and therapy, as well as assisting us in paying for early steps to give him the best start to life, as well. She also serves as an advocate on anencephaly boards to help other families whose children have been diagnosed, after having a stillborn of her own. She never does anything for herself and she deserves something like this. Something I wish I could give her that we no longer have the money to provide. Our family wouldn't be where we are today if not for her. While she never had to chance to make a historical impact on the community, moms like her need to be recognized. Behind the scenes, helping where they can. And being OUTSTANDING while doing it.
Amanda Tucker
{Nominated by :: Layci LeBlanc} Amanda is my sister in law, she has three beautiful girls 5, 3, and 1 and is pregnant with baby number 4. She and her husband are very hard working people who treat themselves to NOTHING as they live a very simple but fun life. They are church members in their community and just recently got back from a trip to Mexico volunteering at an orphanage (with their girls). Amanda is a beautiful person both inside and out and when she isn't working at her job (as a nurse) she is a very busy mom always doing fun activities with her girls. She deserves this and more and I truly hope she gets to treat herself this Mother's Day! Thank you for considering her.
Rachel Stallworth
{Nominated by :: Laura LeBouef} Rachel is my daughter's first grade teacher at Westdale Heights. In addition to the 23 kids in her charge every day, she has 4 girls of her own, ranging from 3 to 11 years old. She is a phenomenal teacher. But her gifts reach far beyond that. My kid has ADHD. Rachel has worked so closely with my family all year, including nearly constant text messages, emails, and pictures during the day; Rachel knows I worry about my daughter not eating during the day due to her medication, so often sends me pictures from the lunchroom of her eating. She does this sort of thing for ALL children in her path. She does little girls' hair in elaborate styles if she knows they are having difficulty at home or if she thinks they just need to feel a little more special that day. She runs the extended day program and THEN a free fitness class after hours 3 nights a week. All are welcome. I have never met a real-life hero before. Now I have. She is a magnificent force of nature. My entire family is better for knowing her.
Karen Songe
{Nominated by :: Danielle S. Meador} A mother is one who loves her children unconditionally and paves the way for future generations through being an impactful role model, and I am proud and fortunate to say that my mom Karen Songe exemplifies these attributes. One of my mom's greatest accomplishments is being a very involved and supportive grandmother even while re-building her own life. Despite losing her home and everything materialistic in Katrina and being flooded again and having to re-build her home from The Great Flood of 2016, she has still been a remarkable mother and grandmother. Every weekday morning before the sun comes all the way up, my mom starts watching both of my children (4 years old and 8 month old) while my husband and I go to work. Each day my mom sacrifices her "free time" to provide irreplaceable time with my children. Because of my mom, my children have never had to go to a day care, even while she struggled to coordinate many jobs with contractors to re-build her home. I know my children have benefited from this time with her as they are able to grow up in a very loving environment and get priceless one on one attention. I too have benefited tremendously from her selflessness as I am able to go to work with no concerns about my children's well-being because I know how good of hands they are in.
My mom Karen Songe not only deserves to win Mother of the Year for 2017 she has always deserved this honor since the day I was born. As a child, my mom was always there for both me and my sister and was always selfless. My mom adapted to our interests; for example, she had never been to a soccer game before, but when we became interested she quickly took on the role as a soccer mom. She made countless sacrifices throughout our years growing up. Instead of pampering herself, my mom provided financial support and more importantly support by being there for me, which allowed me to excel in scholastics and eventually get my PhD in Chemistry without ever having to take out a loan for school.
In addition to the difference she has made in my life, she has also been a vital part of the community. Most recently, my mom has volunteered her time to work at St. Mark's Catholic Church Fair. Not only have these examples shown her many characteristics of being a loving, kind-hearted mother and grandmother, they also show how great a role model my mom is. My mom's dedication to her family and community gives encouragement to other mothers that no matter what life brings, be it hurricanes, floods, or other trials and tribulations you can always be a strong woman and wonderful and impactful mother. I love my mom; God has definitely blessed me to have Karen Songe, mother of ALL years, as my mom!
Macy Garrane
{Nominated by :: Rachel Leger} Macey deserves to be Mom of the Year, because not only is she a wonderful person inside and out, she's also a fabulous single mom. I don't see how she does it! She became a mommy in 2014. The father isn't in the picture anymore, he broke her heart in more ways than one. She didn't deserve the pain he caused her, no one does. She picked herself up and pulled herself together after many tears were shed and she felt she couldn't go on. She did it for Emmalee. She has become such a strong, independent mama. I look up to her a lot. She is so strong and brave. Macey would do anything and everything possible to make sure her beautiful daughter, Emmalee has everything she needs. She is raising such a sweet, beautiful little lady! I think Macey definitely deserves to be 2017 Red Stick Mom of the Year!
Sheila Guthrie
{Nominated by :: Carson Guthrie} My mom should win mom of the year because we have been through so much since losing our home in the flood in August, it was so scary to wake up to the water in our house and my mom was so scared to find my twin brother and sister almost under water in their cribs. She was so scared her self but made sure to stay strong for us and take care of us. I helped too and it felt good. We were not able to go back to our house after the flood and that made us sad but my mom made sure we were happy and made that best of it. We had to move to a new town and right away my mom made our new house feel like a home. I'm only 11 but I know my mom would do anything for us.
Not only will the winner be crowned the 2017 Red Stick Mom of the Year, but she will also win the fabulous prize package giveaway valued over $450 including …
- A Tank from Lululemon (value of $58)
- A $50 Gift Card from Bistro Byronz

I went here last night for a friends birthday and had a brilliant time. I have actually been meaning to go for a while but as it isnt open on Sunday, when I have been trying to use it for a certain dinner I havent managed to go.
We had a table of 9 of us and here there is a set menu for £15.99 a head. Starters tend to be potato skins, pate, soup and mussels (unfortunately they didnt have any mussels left). I had the potato skins which were very good. They came iwth a generous helping of salad. Other friends had the pate which they were slightly dissappointed with as felt it could have been better given the size of the restaurant.
For mains you have a selection of steak (£2.50 surcharge), burgers, salmon and vegetable enchilladas. I had the burger which although was very small very good, it comes with again a good helping of salad and chips so it is actually the perfect sized portion.
We didnt end up having pudding as we had a birthday cake so we just had teas and coffees.
The joy of this place is that its BYO and they only charge £1 corkage for wine and 50p for beers. Out total bill came to £184 (service included) so we ended up paying a little over £20 each of a 3 course meal and plenty of wine!
The restaurant is tiny but its great for a big party of people going out for dinner. Think it may be a slightly different night if you are a table of 2 in amongst 2 big parties though.

They do a really cheap set menu. The steak is good and worth paying the couple of quid extra for. Starter and desserts are nothing special. Restaurant is very hard to find - up an alley off one of the lanes off Rose Street.
As it's a cheap and cheerful kind of place, you book a table for a predefined time block and need to vacate the table by a certain time. Not a problem, so long as you know.

Edit: Additional to below Review
Recently arranged large group dinner here and it's also under new management since my last review.
This place does the basics tremendously well and having been in a couple of times recently I can say with absolute certainty that it's well worth a visit. Perfect pre-night out grub.
Double burgers might be a good idea though as the regular burger is a bit small. Also the dime bar dessert is top notch and has to be tried.
Been here twice for work nights out. BYOB so very handy. Tiny place mind you. I doubt it could fit more than 22 people. good steaks, good burgers,
It's down an alley behind George St. so it does look ropey from the outside but it is a charming wee spot with lots of funky titanic etc memorabilia on the walls.
Entertaining place with good humoured staff. They've seen it all so you can be a bit rowdy if the place is empty.
Like it, will go again.

I totally agree with Andy's review above, the set menu is really good value but the restaurant is very small so you would need to book in advance. It is also up a very narrow spirally type staircase which is not ideal for those not fully mobile or fully sober!
I enjoyed the food and it was certainly good value, the menu is not very varied - just a few dishes, but for about £15 per head for 2 courses who is complaining & surely everyone likes steak. Although be warned, unlike most places who seem to find judging when a steak is cooked difficult, my boyfriend asked for his rare and it was so rare it was almost still a cow - it is the first time I have known him order rare and send it back to be cooked for longer!

Modesto police have arrested a suspect in the stabbing death of a Hatch Road convenience store clerk on the night of May 4.
That night about 11:15, a man came into Hatch Food & Gas and got into an argument with clerk Jagjeet Singh, 32, over the sale of cigarettes, police said. The man left the store and drove away.
About half an hour later, Singh was stabbed outside the store.
At a point in the investigation, police thought the initial man who went into the store returned with a second man, dressed differently, who stabbed Singh as the clerk was closing the business.
But detectives received information that the man captured on surveillance footage in the store, wearing a tank top and khaki shorts, and the man outside, wearing a beanie and jacket, were one and the same: 23-year-old Lester Portillo.
A search warrant was served Thursday afternoon at Portillo's southwest Modesto residence, where he was taken into custody. He was later booked into the Stanislaus County Jail on suspicion of murder. He is being held without bail.
No second suspect is being sought. "The clothing change was a little bit different for us," MPD spokeswoman Heather Graves said Friday morning. "Who does that? Apparently, this guy does."
The call after Singh was stabbed was for medical aid for a man who was possibly having a seizure. Paramedics discovered the clerk – in the U.S. only 18 months – had been stabbed. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Singh is survived by family in Modesto and in India, including his wife and two sons, ages 7 and 9, in his home state of Punjab. A fundraising account has been set up on Fundly.com in his honor.
As the investigation continues, anyone with information on the case is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 209-521-4636. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward. Tipsters may also text information to Crime Stoppers at 274637. Just type "TIP704" along with your message.

Hoary Marmot
Marmota caligata
Yukon Government photo
Also known as: Whistle pigs, Whistler
Fast Facts
|Distribution in Yukon
|0.5 m
|5 kg
|8-12 years
|Golden Eagles, foxes, Wolverine, bears, wolves, Coyotes
|S4 (Apparently Secure)
|G5 (Secure)
|Yukon population estimate: Not determined
- Appears to be a large, bulky ground squirrel
- Grizzled grey fur with black or brown splotches
- Medium sized fluffy tail
Hoary Marmots are only active for 4 months of the year and hibernate from September to April. They are social animals, living in small family groups known as colonies as large as eleven members. Summer life consists of mostly feeding, lazing in the sun, watching for predators, and playing.
Most grasses and sedges, as well as leaves, and flowers.
Sights and sounds
Den in the alpine
Front: 2.5 cm long Hind: 3 cm long
Mammals and People
- Marmots were only occasionally hunted by First Nations of Yukon and Alaska.
- Today Hoary Marmots are protected from hunting in Yukon, except by First Nations people.
Viewing Opportunities
- Head up for a hike into the alpine to look for marmots. Listen for their call -- a loud, long, steady whistle – to narrow down your search.
- Marmots are not too shy of humans so you can sit and watch a marmot feed or sun bathe for quite a while.
- Marmots enjoy the warmth of sun so you'll increase your chances of seeing one if you're hiking on a sunny day.
- Roads that cross alpine regions, such as the Top of the World, Dempster, and Haines highways provide a reasonable chance for a sighting.
- The best access to excellent marmot viewing is on Keno Hill.
- WARNING: Please keep your dog on a leash when hiking through marmot habitat! Marmots are not shy and not fast, and can easily fall victim to dogs.

The glitz and glamour of Hollywood was at the Middledrift Multi-Purpose Centre when Nkonkobe Municipality held its annual Miss Nkonkobe Beauty Pageant 2014/15 on the 6th December 2014. The choreography, entertainment and stage presence of the contestants were all of the things seen on major pageants and television.
This was a wrap of a journey from school visitations, auditions and a two weeks grooming camp in search of a rough diamond that will shine the best amongst others. Miss Nkonkobe is not just a beauty pageant but an educational program aimed at promoting moral regeneration, patriotism, leadership, community service and basic understanding of local government. It also instills self-confidence, self-worth, self-awareness and self-actualization in young ladies which are needed in order to ensure the grooming of young leaders with visions.
Apart from winning the crown, Nkonkobe Municipality awarded the winner with a one year full university bursary towards a course of choice - showing its commitment towards developing young people and encouraging the importance of education in South Africa
Bongiwe Kavi was crowned the fairest of them all with Mandisa Ntuli, Aviwe Dasha taking 1st and second princess respectively. They walked away with a variety of prices including laptops, external hard drive, printer, mp3 and others. The evening ended on a high note with a performance by Ntando to a full crowd which sent them off the roof with excitement. He performed his much loved songs including Nguwe, Umntu onjani lo and others to an ecstatic crowd.

... been late getting the shot and all I've had to do is a UA pregnancy test get the negative results and I get my shot and that's that. I scheduled my appointment for my shot on a friday instead of the monday prior which would be 12 weeks to the day I received my last shot Nursing said it was fine no other details unfortunately I had to reschedule that appointment for the following Monday again nursing said fine. I figured I would have to do a test and thats it. Well turns out Dr. was concerned. that if i have had recent unprotected sex i would have to wait 2 weeks to get my shot or get my shot and take safyral 2 pills that day and 2 pills 12 hours later . Which is what I chose. If I had to wait because of my schedule there would be a good chance I would have to reschedule a few times which would leave me without birth control for who knows how long..The 2nd dose of safytal has me in bed sick after vomiting and feeling nauseous most the day. Can doing this hurt me and how long will i feel like this?

The doctor must protect you and himself. There is a protocol to follow... perhaps the nurse was at fault for allowing the pregnancy test first and then giving you the shot. What the doctor did was correct and following protocol.
But actually, if you are going to be late getting subsequent shots perhaps another form of bc might work better for you... or don't be late because of the pills you have to take to ensure you aren't pregnant.
You won't feel bad for much longer, okay? Just know in the future this is going to be the protocol if you are late getting the shot and then this very unpleasant process will be repeated...
Are you sure the "nursing" staff are nurses (RN's)? A lot of personnel that people think are nurses are not really nurses and havent been educated as nurses. If they were knowledgeable nurses, they would have warned you that you were at risk of pregnancy by going over due for your injection. You cannot count on a Depo-Provera injection after 13 weeks to provide reliable birth control. Essentially after 13 weeks, you need to treat as if the person was not protected at all. You were at risk for pregnancy by going overdue so you need to be careful to not do so again if you want reliable protection OR if you have to delay your injection, you should use condoms as back up protection until you get your shot an for seven days after unless you are in the first five days of your period. He is doing the right thing and treating you as at risk for pregnancy and basically providing hormones as emergency contraception. Even though since you have been on the shot for six years and it is unlikely you would get pregnant, the possibility exists. If you dont want to go through this again, dont be late for your next scheduled injection or use back up protection.
Large doses of hormones do have greater side effects and that is what you are having is side effects. It shouldnt last too long once you are done with the regimen.

Engineering and Technology
This paper is about engineering and technology dealing particularly with intelligence. My area of focus is the use of computers in the modern day technology. Computers have evolved severally in different ways. Compare the first computer to be invented. It used to be as big as factory machines used in the processing of goods. Today, the computer has evolved to desk tops, lap tops palm tops etc, what is next is not yet known. Maybe the one to be invented will be very small. Take for example, the phones of today. They exist in varying sizes (Goldberg, 2000)
If the today's technology is adopted, then they will provide extraordinary advantages such as in the transport system to provide safety for both people and assets. Today, one can have which half the size is of his or her hand. This makes it more portable, efficient and effective. This leads us to an era called an intelligence era (Goldberg, 2000)
The Graphical User Interface has made the computers to be widely used today. Complicated cordinations and processes have become so easy by just a click. Consider the car phones that depends on devices that cordinates to verbal words. By just speaking, the phone just picks the words and translates them appropriately. The wireless mobile money transfer has made the transactions easier and efficient. People can therefore transfer money from one country to another thus the unnecessary delays are eliminated. It is due to technologies that life has been made better through efficiency, reliability and safe therefore quality life (Noor, 2010).
Another example where computer and technology is applicable is the communication between people and robots, wearable computers making human beings to beware of their environments. A person may use the robots to carry out an activity in the factory.
Technologies therefore offer efficient ways for human beings to manipulate computers, systems and devices for both works and games giving it an accelerating pace of development. Take an example, a man using both voice information and gestures with a robot to relay information to a robot which depends on the vision systems, scene interpreting navigation, knowledge capability and activity recognition to carry out the instructions of the person and the work assigned. This has increased the move at which the technology has advanced in translating the information to the world (Noor, 2010).
Let me discuss in details the human and technology interactions which uses interface to communicate between or among the robots. Interface is simply a link between systems or devices and people thereby facilitating understanding. It changes the digital signals radiations that cannot be seen into medium that can be interpreted into human senses hence facilitating system to system contact which later decrease the mental load on the client. This has led a more advanced and ordinary interfaces which has increased of interaction which resembles human movement, vision, voice and gestures .Later on there will be an improved merge of the human body and electronic devices leading to emergence of organic user interfaces on the clients' skins, biometric sensors and finally brain machine interfaces which connects directly with the brain.
The technology to come will therefore ensure dependable way of relaying information any place, whichever time and with anybody-enabling faultless knowledge from device to device and seen environment which will enhance connectivity among devices working all together. The continual use of infrared, ultra sound sensors and miniature cameras will always expose devices at all levels. As a result, human interface with a computer has become a very significant technology today and many years to come.
However, there are rising new challenges associated with this latest technology:
First, it requires a lot of creativity amongst the engineers due to demands of human values. This will require engineers to cope up with the emerging human demands which can slow down the process of developing the technology.
Secondly, it requires the intelligence digital engineering ecosystems to effectively develop integration and exploitation to merge with the rapidly changing new technologies. The emergence of large population of robots, vibrant aggregation of humans, which will exploit the human capabilities (Noor, 2010).
Thirdly, the emergence of the ecosystems, it therefore follows that the environmental auditing must be carried out to assess whether it will it will have negative or positive environmental impact. This will require a lot of finance and time.
With emerging technologies, the interface must therefore be pushed to acquire the desired. The recent technology has come up with the areas on speech and touch to enable the devices on computers to see, listen, talk and act properly on behalf of the client.
This can be seen as interesting but the long term effect will be felt across the world. If the current technology is the only way to go, then there will be a possibility of human beings being replaced in many sectors in the economy (Darigo et al., 1998).
Technology will always kill humanity. Nowadays a machine which used to be operated by many people can be operated by one person only assisted by some more modified machines. Take for example, a load which weighs thousands of tonnes which used to be carried by many people can now be carried by one machine such as one robot can carry as so many loads as it can. This has led to many people rendered jobless hence the impacts on the society such as increased poverty and crime (Darigo et al., 1998).
Another major feedback to the advancement of this kind of technology is the finances involved and the time it takes to develop fully. The technology will take so much time to match the required standards which will be more acceptable in the society. This will involve the purchase of the computer based devices and other related machines to help in the coordination o the robots and the source of command. Compare the recently made robot in Japan which can satisfy the sexual urge of an individual. Technology has gone to an advanced level such that these biological processes which once physical have gone mechanical
Finally yet importantly, there must be an involvement of relevant authority such as the United Nations (UN), which can decline the use of such robots. Take for example where these human-computers are used to attack at times of war, the extent to which destruction will occur will be high since the machines are immortal and only follows a command from the source. This will therefore disadvantage the other rival, which doesn't use this technology (Darigo et al., 1998).
From these, it therefore means that human beings will continue to invent more and more to make work easier. The more the inventions are done; human beings come up with different discoveries. This will continue for ever. With the continued quest for war, more human like machines which are efficient will be invented to take part in war so as to replace human beings. With the emergence of computers more inventions will come up and more human like machines will be invented making this kind of technology not only to be the first rising one but also the first to be adopted.
