I asked you to ask, and you girls came through for me, providing me with several posts' worth of blog fodder! So, here goes, the first set of questions and answers (with more fun to come!)
From Melissa, As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
The first profession I remember aspiring to was a waitress. I informed my dad of this momentous decision at Red Lobster, no doubt inspired by the quality of service provided by our young teenaged waitress. My dad wasted no time informing me that perhaps I could set my goals just a little higher…
I also wanted to be a nurse, this desire fueled by my love for the Clara Barton novels. However, I began to reconsider after nearly throwing up when my mom asked me to salt and pepper some chicken breasts.
As a girl, I also dreamed of being an astronaut and a novelist–but not at the same time. As I grew older, I cared less about the what and more about the image. I really, really wanted to wear power suits, read the Wall Street Journal, and carry a briefcase.
Now, of course, I do none of the above, a prime example of 1 Cor. 2:9
Among Elle's questions is the following: How did you meet your husband?
My husband and I met in Sunday school. Really. My parents had moved to my husband's hometown in Georgia the summer after our freshman year of college. A couple of summers after their move, my (future) husband and I were both home for the summer, he from Auburn, me from Baylor. He had a girlfriend at the time, one of my sister's good friends, but conveniently enough they decided to "date other people" just in time for him to ask me out before I had to go back to school in Texas.
Here's a story that's always amused me: when he did call with the invitation to dinner and a Braves game, I panicked as I well knew his (former) girlfriend and my sister were such good friends. So I asked him to hold as I raced upstairs to ask my sister's advice–advice consisted of "Go out with him. Just don't tell anybody I said so. And if you don't go out with him, I will!" Actually, my mom and my sister both were (are) great fans of his, warning me "Don't you hurt him, Lisa."
Of course, my mom was over-the-moon thrilled I was going out with a Georgia boy, something she had been praying for quite specifically. For my part, I was a little hesitant, having recently sworn off men in general, deciding they weren't worth the heartache and nor the drama.
But my man, he persevered and won me over, heart and soul. Actually, my soul belongs to Jesus but "heart and soul" sounds far more poetic than just merely saying he won my heart…but you know what I mean.
Speaking of Texas, Linda wants to know: What you miss about Texas. 🙂 And what you don't.
It's been decades (literally!) since I've even been to Texas, much less lived there. But, upon reflection, I miss: the bluebonnets. James Avery jewelry stores. The breeze (it may be hot as Hades, but there's always a breeze). What I don't miss: the hot as Hades temps. The flatness. The lack of trees.
So, there you go. The first installment in the You ask; I'll answer series of posts. Want to ask a question of your own? Ask away and I'll answer (maybe)!
Look for more questions and answers forthcoming…

Network Marketing As Passive Income Business
In chapter two of the book Business Quadrant Wealthflow Theory, I discussed the concept of passive income business. As a reminder, it is a business that does not require your material participation before you earn. The 5% people that make it in network marketing built it as passive income business.
Network marketing companies that focus on passive income put more emphasis on recruitment. Their compensation plan reward distributors more for number of people they recruit rather than product sales. In the business quadrants, passive income business falls on the right side of the quadrants.
Many people who join network marketing dream of making it to the top five percent who become wealthy. However, only a few of them are willing to make the sacrifice to get there. Your ability to build a network marketing passive income business will determine if you succeed or not in creating wealth.
There are two scenarios where network marketing function as a passive income business.
#1 Network Marketing As Passive Income Home Business
This is represented by the top right quadrant of the business quadrants, Q3. As discussed in chapter three, your ultimate goal in business is to build a passive income business. The same should be the case with network marketing. There are two situations that describe those who fall in this quadrant.
- If you setup a training center in your home
- If you run online training platform from home
#2 Network Marketing As Passive Income Office Business
As discussed in chapter two, passive income office business is any business you work outside of your home that produces passive income. This is represented by the fourth quarter of the business quadrant Q4. There are three scenarios that describe people who fall in this quadrant.
- The first scenario is if you own a training center outside of your home
- If you use outside venue
- Start a network marketing company
Final Thoughts
Truth be told, many who enter into network marketing business do so with the wrong motive. They think network marketing is a business for the lazy people. They join, hide under their upline and expect the magic. Think of how to utilize the business quadrants wealthflow theory if you have tried and fail or if you are just considering the opportunity.
If you are currently unemployed, you may have to start with network marketing active income business. When you have raised some money, think of how to use part of the retail profit you are making to build the passive income aspect of your business.
If you currently have an active income job or small business, use part of the income to build a network marketing passive income business. Study carefully how to apply the business quadrant golden rule of wealth to network marketing. If you plan your approach properly, you may start earning enough income to quit your job.
Find the right network marketing company, launch and build your network marketing business.
Once you have chosen your opportunity, stick to a plan. Give it time. Don't think you're going to be rich in six months, because you won't. Exercise patience. Focus on your skills. Work hard. Stay consistent. And…don't take things personally.

Abstract: I will describe the current state of research concerning the classification of (strongly rational) holomorphic vertex operator algebras (VOAs) of central charge c=24 (dubbed Schellekens' list). Moreover, I will explain how (probably) all 71 cases on Schellekens' list can be obtained as cyclic orbifold constructions from the Leech lattice VOA in analogy to the construction of the Niemeier lattices from the deep holes of the Leech lattice.

Nancy Riegelman
In drawings and paintings in acrylic and graphite, Nancy Riegelman documents her own respiration process by drawing a fine line for each breath she takes during a set time period. The artist typically works from the middle of her surface outward, creating a series of concentric rings. Worked primarily on white canvas or paper, Riegelman's performative markings present a meditation on the passing of time. "The finished work is the accretion—really a kind of aesthetic 'stream of consciousness'—of thousands of separate gestures, each with its own aesthetic and emotional content," she says. Riegelman also produces solid wooden sculptures whose platinum finishes resonate light. Her work has been compared to that of Yves Klein and Carl Andre.

Hoorah, you've lastly discovered on a primary identify you possibly can each agree on. After months of looking out, weeks of list-compiling, and hours of arguing, you've lastly discovered the one. It's good. You've examined it each method you possibly can think about, and it has handed with flying colors. It sounds nice along with your surname, it may well't be shortened to something resembling a impolite phrase, and it doesn't imply rest room in Japanese.
As you and the daddy-to-be breathed a collective sigh of aid, you immediately realised you'd solely half completed. "What in regards to the center identify?" you exclaimed in unison, preventing again the tears. All of a sudden you had been again at sq. one, or it felt that method not less than. Worry not, listed here are some ideas that can assist you in selecting a center identify in your child:
- Select a sentimental identify – if there's a particular buddy or member of the family, maybe one who's now not with you, then this a good way to honour them. The added bonus is that in case your favorite uncle was known as Gravel, it's solely going to be your child's center identify so not many individuals will realize it.
- Be impressed by the nice – sports activities personalities, world-changing politicians and nice historic figures can all present inspiration. Bradley Wiggins has undoubtedly spawned just a few namesakes since his spectacular summer season of sport in 2012. It's additionally potential there can be just a few additional child Margarets following the dying of Margaret Thatcher.
- Take inspiration from the humanities – for those who or your companion have a favorite character from a guide or movie, you can identify the child after them. The identify Jessica proved standard final 12 months, and this may very well be all the way down to the success of the US sitcom New Lady. Equally, when Titanic got here out, Rose and Jack had been each climbed up the child identify charts.
- Make it truthful – for those who selected the primary identify, maybe it's truthful to let the father-to-be choose the center identify. Or vice versa. That method you've each had enter into the identify. In case your bump could have an older sibling, you can allow them to select the center identify.
- How does it sound? – it's completely okay to pick out a center identify for no different purpose than it labored with the first and final names. You don't have to have a protracted backstory as to why the identify was chosen, you possibly can simply say it sounded good.
- Don't have one – this may appear controversial, however center names aren't obligatory. Some folks assume they make a reputation sound extra full, however for those who don't agree then don't spend hours fretting over it. Not everyone has a center identify.
In case you have discovered a reputation you each like, then that's all that issues. Tell us what center identify you've chosen.

England breaks record as Red Hawks top Trojans
From staff reports
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — The Catawba Valley Community College women's basketball team defeated Fayetteville Tech 84-65 on the road Saturday, giving head coach Tisha England her program-best 83rd coaching victory at CVCC.
England passes mentor and first-ever Catawba Valley Community College women's basketball coach Tommy Edwards for the most women's basketball coaching wins at Catawba Valley.
"I could not be more proud of my girls for fighting through adversity and settling down to get the victory," England said. "Tommy (Edwards) is a great person, who built this program, and it's my desire to continue the success in the classroom as well as on the court."
Four Red Hawk players reached double digits in scoring during Saturday's game, including a team-high 18 points from sophomore guard Shaniya Lester.
Tanisha Wall (16 points), Zharia Brown (15) and Nikkyana McCaskill (12) also reached double figures in scoring for CVCC (11-3, 6-0 in Region X play).
The Red Hawks will try to add to England's new record on Tuesday when they travel to Greensboro, N.C. to take on Guilford Tech. Game time is set for 6 p.m.

Everyone knows about C.P. Snow's 1959 lecture at Cambridge University, The Two Cultures. In it, Snow decries the destructive divide between the cultures of the humanities, especially literature, and the sciencesbut he also notes other divides as well. From the perspective of a life that has spanned academia, entrepreneurship, science and engineering, and even some of the humanities, our speaker will venture some observations on these other divides and the barriers they present to human understanding and progress. Less heralded in Snow's lecture were his critique of British education, but some of these comments are highly relevant today and will also be elaborated.

In early 2015, The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) released new findings from a survey about public participation in the arts. The report reveals some surprising findings about the impact of arts and cultural industries on GDP, as well as the attitudes, motivations and barriers for attending the arts at different life stages—the first time the NEA has published a report on this type of data. The following article by Smith & Howard's nonprofit team, discusses the NEA's report and highlights some of the ways Georgia's arts & culture organizations are working hard to engage the public.
According to NEA's report, the leading barriers for attendance the arts include:
- Lack of time: 47%
- Cost: 38 %
- Access: 37%
- No one to go with: 22%
More specifically, 60 percent of those with children under age six said lack of time is the greatest single barrier to attendance. The NEA noted, "This finding could inspire arts providers to develop more family-friendly program options." Others noted that the location was too difficult to get to, a significant problem for seniors and those with physical disabilities.
As an Atlanta CPA and advisory firm with a strong arts and culture practice, Smith & Howard is an advocate for overcoming these barriers and building strong support of our outstanding arts organizations. The good news is that many of Georgia's arts and culture institutions are already addressing these barriers with exciting initiatives to boost participation and make locations more appealing.
Examples include:
- Atlanta Ballet: Expanded its programming to engage audiences in different spaces, such as the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Piazza at the High and at the Serenbe Playhouse via their "Wabi Sabi" series.
- Woodruff Arts Center: Received a $6.6 million grant to support "Art from the Start," a new three-year program intended to provide families and students greater access to the center's core arts and education work. The program includes designated family days with special access to the work of the Alliance Theatre, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and free admission to the High Museum of Art.
- High Museum of Art: The High has been hosting events on the Sifly Piazza through its "Plaza Activation" program that are outdoors, free and open to the public. They have included Spinning Tops, the Atlanta Ballet's Wabi Sabi (mentioned above) and the very popular Mi Casa Your Casa that drew over 100,000 visitors.
- Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre: The Centre's ArtsBridge Foundation offers an educational program for school-age children interested in theatrical arts.
This is but a small list of the ways Atlanta's arts and culture organizations are working to overcome the barriers to engagement. Each of these organizations is accessible via public transportation.
The Arts and GDP
One doesn't usually equate the arts with the nation's gross domestic product. Yet that's exactly what the NEA was measuring as part of its research. In partnership with the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis, the NEA conducted a first-ever, in-depth analysis of the arts and cultural sector's contributions to the GDP. The estimated findings reveal that the arts are a bigger driver of GDP and jobs than previously estimated.
Findings include:
- In 2012, arts and cultural production contributed more than $698 billion to the U.S. economy, or 4.32 percent to the U.S. GDP,
- In 2012, 4.7 million workers were employed in the production of arts and cultural goods, receiving $334.9 billion in compensation, and
- Arts and cultural spending has a ripple effect on the overall economy, boosting both commodities and jobs. For example, for every 100 jobs created from new demand for the arts, 62 additional jobs are also created.
To bring the numbers to a state level, one study examined the economic impact of more than 300 arts and cultural organizations across Georgia. The result was close to $400 million and that number is trending upward. Without a doubt, a robust arts community is important in attracting big businesses to Atlanta. The arts are an integral part of the state's economy, generating revenue in sales tax collections but also providing employment as Aurora Theatre founder Anthony Rodriguez recently shared, "We are a strong economic driver for our communities."
At a time when Georgia funding of the arts ranks lowest in the country on the amount of state budget per resident that goes to arts (6 cents per resident vs Mississippi at 61 cents and Tennessee at $1.07 per resident) it is vital that our community gets involved. We can engage in our outstanding arts organizations in a number of ways, including financial support, membership, volunteering and attendance.
Serving many of Georgia's arts and culture organizations not only is good business for Smith & Howard, it allows us to help those organizations make smart financial decisions that enable them to achieve their goals. For information on the services Smith & Howard provides to arts and culture (and other nonprofit) organizations, please contact a member of our nonprofit accounting team at 404-874-6244.

Recently, I've been asked to configure an external Lync watcher node. The documentation doesn't do a good, IMHO, in describing such a scenario in detail and doesn't comment on ports. If you don't want to go through all the steps below, please make sure you are using 443 when creating the configuration. Port 5061, which is mentioned in the original doc is only usable internally. Port 5061, in the Edge server, seems to be in use for Federation,so, no good.
Create accounts and enable Lync with Enterprise voice
Steps, according to the original Lync guide
To configure a computer to act as a watcher node, you must first complete the following prerequisites:
- Install System Center Operation Manager and import the Lync Server 2013 management packs. You must also first verify that the watcher node computer meets all prerequisites for installing Lync Server 2013.
- Install the following items on the watcher node computer:
- The full version of .NET Framework 4.5
- Windows Identity Foundation
- Windows PowerShell 3.0
After the prerequisites are met, you can configure the watcher node by following these steps:
- Install the Lync Server 2013 core files on the watcher node computer.
- Install System Center Operations Manager agent on the watcher node computer.
- Run the Watchernode.msi executable file.
- Use the CsWatcherNodeConfiguration cmdlet to configure test user accounts to be employed by the watcher node.
Installing the Lync Server 2013 Core Files and the RTCLocal Database
To install the Microsoft Lync Server 2013 core files on a computer, complete the following procedure. The RTCLocal database will automatically be installed when you install the core files. Note that you do not need to install SQL Server on the watcher nodes. SQL Server Express Edition will be automatically installed.
To install the Lync Server 2013 core files and the RTCLocal database:
1. On the watcher node computer, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
2. In the console window, type the following command and press ENTER. Be sure to enter the appropriate path to your Lync Server setup files:
D:\Setup.exe /BootstrapLocalMgmt
First, near the end…
After rebooting, all good:
To verify that the core Lync Server components are successfully installed, click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2013, and then click Lync Server Management Shell. In the Lync Server 2013 Management Shell, type the following Windows PowerShell command and press ENTER:
Note: The first time you run this command, no data will be returned because you have not yet configured any watcher node computers. If the command runs without returning an error, you can assume that the Lync Server setup completed successfully.
If you see information about your PIN policies, the core components have been successfully installed.
SCOM Agent with certificate
Your agent won't be part of the domain, so you'll need a certificate (or a gateway server) to allow for communication.
Agent Ports
Network flow
All you should need between your agent and the EDGE server is 443.
Set as proxy
Authentication Type: Credential
Step by step
If your watcher node computer lies outside the perimeter network then you must follow a slightly different procedure in order to configure that watcher node to run synthetic transactions: in particular, you should not create a trusted application pool or a trusted application. That means that you will need to complete two separate tasks:
- Update the membership in the computer's RTC Local Read-only Administrators Group
- Install the watcher node configuration files
Updating Membership in the RTC Local Read-Only Administrators Group
If your watcher node lies outside the perimeter network, you must add the Network Service account to the RTC Local Read-only Administrators group on the watcher node computer by completing the following procedure on the watcher node:
1. Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Manage.
2. In Server Manager, expand Configuration, expand Local Users and Groups, and then click Groups.
3. In the Groups pane, double-click RTC Local Read-only Administrators.
4. In the RTC Local Read-only Administrators Properties dialog box, click Add.
5. In the Select Users, Computers, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box, click Locations.
6. In the Locations dialog box, select the name of the watcher node computer, and then click OK.
7. In the Enter object names to select box, type Network Service, and then click OK.
8. In the RTC Local Read-only Administrators Properties dialog box, click OK, and then close Server Manager.
You must then restart the watcher node computer.
Installing the Watcher Node Configuration Files
Your next step is to run the file Watchernode.msi:
(Download from http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=35842)
1. Open the Microsoft Lync Server 2013 Management Shell. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2013, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.
2. In Lync Server Management Shell, type the following command, and then press ENTER (be sure to specify the actual path to your copy of Watchernode.msi):
c:\Tools\Watchernode.msi Authentication=Negotiate
Note: As mentioned previously, Watchernode.msi can also be run from a command window. To open a command window, click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. When the command window opens, type the same command shown in step 2, above.
The Negotiate mode is used any time the watcher node cannot be set up as a trusted application pool. In this mode, administrators will need to manage test user passwords on the watcher node.
Configuring Watcher Node Test Users and Configuration Settings
After configuring the computer that will act as a watcher node, you must:
1. Create the test accounts to be used by these watcher nodes. If you are using the Negotiate authentication method, you must also use the Set-CsTestUserCredential cmdlet to enable these test accounts for use on the watcher node.
2. Update the watcher node configuration settings.
This section covers the following procedures:
Configuring Test User Accounts
Configuring a Basic Watcher Node with the Default Synthetic Transactions
Adding and Removing Synthetic Transactions
Viewing and Testing the Watcher Node Configuration
Configuring Test User Accounts
Test accounts do not need to represent actual people, but they must be valid Active Directory accounts. In addition, these accounts must be enabled for Microsoft Lync Server 2013, they must have valid SIP addresses, and they should be enabled for Enterprise Voice (to use the Test-CsPstnPeerToPeerCall synthetic transaction). If you are using the TrustedServer authentication method, all you need to do is to make sure that these accounts exist and configure them as noted. You should assign at least three test users for each pool that you want to test.
If you are using the Negotiate authentication method, you must also use the Set-CsTestUserCredential cmdlet and the Lync Server Management Shell in the watcher node as Administrator to enable these test accounts to work with the synthetic transactions. Do this by running a command similar to the following (these commands assume that the three Active Directory user accounts have been created and that these accounts are enabled for Lync Server 2013):
Set-CsTestUserCredential –SipAddress "sip:firstname.lastname@example.com" –UserName "domain\watcher1" –Password "P@ssw0rd"
Set-CsTestUserCredential –SipAddress "sip:watcher2@ domain.com" –UserName "domain\watcher2" –Password "P@ssw0rd"
Set-CsTestUserCredential –SipAddress "sip:firstname.lastname@example.com" –UserName "domain\watcher3" –Password "P@ssw0rd"
You must include not only the SIP address, but also the user name and password. If you do not include the password, the Set-CsTestUserCredential cmdlet will prompt you to enter that information. The user name can be specified by using the domain name\user name format shown in the preceding code block, or by using this format: user name@domain name. For example:
-UserName "firstname.lastname@example.com"
To verify that the test user credentials were created, run these commands from the Lync Server Management Shell:
Get-CsTestUserCredential -SipAddress "sip:firstname.lastname@example.com"
Get-CsTestUserCredential -SipAddress "sip:firstname.lastname@example.com"
Get-CsTestUserCredential -SipAddress "sip:email@example.com"
Information similar to this will be returned for each user:
UserName Password
——– ——–
domain\watcher1 System.Security.SecureString
Configuring a Basic Watcher Node with the Default Synthetic Transactions
After the test users have been created, you can create a watcher node by using a command similar to this:
New-CsWatcherNodeConfiguration –TargetFqdn "sip.domain.com" –PortNumber 443 –TestUsers @{Add= "sip:email@example.com","sip:email@example.com ", "sip:firstname.lastname@example.com"}
–TargetFqdn is the address of your Lync pool, accessible from the watcher node or internet, which in this case will be your Edge server. Note port 443! That's the important part!
This command creates a new watcher node that uses the default settings and runs the default set of synthetic transactions. The new watcher node also uses the test users email@example.com, email@example.com, and firstname.lastname@example.com. If the watcher node uses TrustedServer authentication, the three test accounts can be any valid user accounts enabled for Active Directory and Lync Server. If the watcher node uses the Negotiate authentication method, these user accounts must also be enabled for the watcher node by using the Set-CsTestUserCredential cmdlet.
Viewing and Testing the Watcher Node Configuration
If you want to view the tests that have been assigned to a watcher node, use a command similar to this:

The storage boxes with very low sides designed to slide under beds make great litter boxes because they're so roomy. And the deep boxes work perfectly for "high sprayers." Just cut down one side so it's easy for the cat to get in and out.
I have to admit I've cut more than my fair share of holes in Rubbermaid storage tubs. I've used them for cold weather cat shelters, feeding stations and litter boxes. In fact, some of my handiwork is on display now in the powder room. That's where Sizzle's favorite box is. It's a large Rubbermaid storage box with one side cut way down so he has lots of room and can get in and out easily.

Looking For Good Luck? Find A Black Cat!
I'm feeling a bit guilty tonight. I missed National Black Cat Day. But then, every day is black cat day for me. I love them. I love to look at them because they're so beautiful. And they're usually the nicest cats. I don't think I've ever met a black cat who didn't turn out to be a cherished friend.
Black cats can bring us good luck, too. Dig into the folklore about black cats, and you'll find that they're not always thought of as omens of impending disaster. So if a black cat crosses your path, consider yourself lucky. Although he's just on his way to someplace he considers important, he may send you good fortune as he strolls by.
Fairies And Witches And Black Cats
Blame Celtic mythology for all the dire superstitions about black cats. They started with a fairy named Cat Sith, who could make himself look like a huge black cat. Among the creepier things he did was steal recently deceased people's souls before the gods could claim them.
And then there's the idea that black cats were witches' familiars, and some witches could even shape-shift themselves into black cats. Scary, but...
Black Cats Can Bring Us Good Luck
If you're superstitious, black cats can be very lucky, too. But it could depend on where you are in relation to the cat. Some people believe that a black cat walking towards you will bring you good luck, while a black cat walking away is taking your luck with him. In Germany, a cat crossing your path is good luck, but only if the cat is walking from left to right.
Sailors thought a black ship's cat would protect them. And fishermen's wives believed having a black cat at home would keep their husbands safe.
Oh, and in Scotland, having a black cat on your porch is a sign of future prosperity. In Japan, a black cat living with a single woman could bring her many suitors. In the English Midlands, giving a black cat as a wedding gift can bring good luck to the bride.
Honestly, I don't believe any of these things. I'm not superstitious. But I do believe black cats are good luck, if only because they bring me such joy and because so many of them have become my close friends.
Today's Recommendation
The Healing Power Of The Purr
Who would've thought? All I need to cure my aching back is a purring cat. I certainly have an abundance of those! Katie would be the best choice though. She always knows exactly where my back hurts. And that's where she sleeps... and purrs.
But it turns out that it's not the comforting sound of the purr that heals, so much as the gentle vibration. Think of a purring cat as an ultrasound treatment on four feet.
Chickens, gorillas, ring-tailed lemurs, rabbits, raccoons, guinea pigs, squirrels and elephants also purr. But you probably wouldn't want to snuggle up to an elephant or gorilla when you need pain relief. That's where cats come in.
Farewell, My Feral Friends
After almost eight years as "head cat mom," this afternoon I said goodbye to Harmony Hall. I sat in the woods at the cats' now unused feeding station and lost myself in memories of the feral friends who came and then went, sometimes all too soon, from my life.
There was sweet, petite Mrs. P and her spunky look-alike buddy, Groucho. And Blaze. And Torti Love (we never did think of a good name for her). And Molly, who came and went from the group and then came back again. And there was the handsome, bright orange Raider. And our beloved Mr. P, a rotund and almost friendly orange and white tux. How I miss them all...
My journey with my feral friends actually began nearly 20 years ago. A friend was visiting at Harmony Hall and discovered 30 cats in the parking lot. They were everywhere… on cars, under pickup trucks, lurking in bushes, lounging in the parking lot…. And there were cats of all sizes and colors, although most were orange or orange and white. They had a feeder, but my friend offered to help and said she wanted to get the cats neutered/spayed.
With some help from Metro Ferals of Maryland, Barbara managed to trap all 30 cats and load them into her soccer mom van for the trip to the spay/neuter clinic.
For years, Barbara fed the cats by herself. I really did not want to be involved in her colony because I had other cat projects, but I would feed occasionally when she couldn't get there. Finally, with some urging, she recruited volunteer feeders so she wouldn't have to go there every day.
But managing that colony was never easy. With every new manager at Harmony Hall came new rules. First the cats "had" to eat behind a row of pine trees. Then, Barbara was supposed to feed them under a construction trailer. Next stop was behind the Dumpsters.
After years of jumping through hoops. she moved the cats off Harmony Hall's property to a patch of woods in what turned out to be a homeowner's yard. But even that wasn't good enough for the manager who came along eight years ago.

Introduction (Minimum of 5 Sentences)
How Do you Organize a Persuasive Essay?
Example Persuasive Essay
According to The Merriam Webster Dictionary (2011), plagiarism is the act of "stealing and passing off the ideas or words of another as one's own".
A. Grabber
B. Elaboration: statement and description of the issue to be discussed
C. Thesis Statement: Point of View + Three Main Ideas
Body Paragraphs
A. Topic Sentence (including topic + main idea)
B. Supporting detail (example, statistic, etc...)
C. Statement of Common Ground
D. Statement and Rebuttal of Opposing Position
E. Concluding Sentence
Concluding Paragraph
A. Thesis Restatement
B. Summary of Arguments
C. Provide a Final Thought - Prediction or Recommendation
Potential Topic: Why Students Shouldn't Plagiarize
academic illiteracy
serious consequences
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. Not only does it involve stealing other people's ideas, but also lying about it afterward. Plagiarism most often occurs in the academic world, and generates many negative effects for students, teachers, and even the original authors.
Thesis statement: Students should not plagiarize because it is dishonest, reflects academic illiteracy, and has serious consequences.
Topic Sentence:
Firstly, students should not plagiarize because it is unethical.
Body Paragraph #1
Concluding Paragraph
Some Tips
Thesis Restatement:
Students studying in college and university should avoid plagiarizing because it is fraudulent, demonstrates weak academic skills, and leads to severe personal and academic consequences.
Summary of Arguments:
Students who copy the work of others are simply dishonest and are committing the act of fraud. They also reveal their inability to meet the demands of academic research and writing. Most importantly, students who plagiarize can face failed assignments, course grades, and even course expulsion.
Provide a Final Thought - Prediction or Recommendation:
Interestingly, avoiding plagiarism and all of its negative consequences can be avoided by simply citing. Acknowledging that information has been borrowed and providing the source is usually enough to prevent plagiarism.
Clincher: As the famous American poet Criss Jami (2008) once said, "when you have wit of your own, it's a pleasure to credit other people for theirs."
1.Take a position. Know your argument and which side you will take. It is very important to know the purpose of your essay before you begin writing.
2.Know your audience! Decide whether they will agree with you, disagree with you, or remain neutral.
3.Research your topic! You must provide SPECIFIC and CONVINCING evidence. Think about going to the library or talking to experts. You will need to go beyond your own knowledge to write a convincing persuasive essay.
4.Test your thesis statement. Make sure that your thesis does not merely present a fact. A good thesis is debatable and has two sides.
5.Disprove the opposing argument. Try to understand contrasting arguments and counter them with evidence. Why? Because it shows that you have done your research and have looked at all sides of the issue.
6.Use facts, statistics, quotes, and examples to prove your argument.
Supporting Detail 1:
Students who plagiarize take credit for work that they did not do. A lot of time and effort is needed to write or create something original. To simply take another person's ideas and claim ownership of them negates all of their hard work.
Supporting Detail 2:
Moreover, plagiarism is the same as stealing. It is morally no better than stealing a car or any other form of property - they both belong to someone else and can't be stolen without serious repercussions.
Statement of Common Ground:
Most people would agree that research takes a lot of time, and synthesizing information from different sources can be a hassle.
Statement and Rebuttal of Opposing Position:
Some students might argue that all words and ideas have likely been said or thought before. Therefore, plagiarism is unavoidable and not dishonest at all. This argument is completely invalid. Indeed, all ideas have very likely been thought of before; however, their sources can often can be located quite easily with a little research. When the object of essay writing is to prove a point of view with examples, facts, and statistics, there is no reason why even "common sense" ideas can't be cited properly.
Concluding Sentence:
Therefore, plagiarism should be avoided because it is a form of academic dishonesty.

Kingswood residents are being encouraged by their Labour councillors to have their say on proposed traffic calming in a number of local streets. South Gloucestershire Council has a policy that its schools should be covered by a 20mph speed limit. This approach is in line with guidance from the Government, which is encouraging local authorities to introduce 20mph speed limits or zones in residential areas being used by people on foot or bicycle.
Development funding has been secured to introduce a 20mph speed limit and review waiting restrictions on roads in the vicinity of the Beacon Rise Primary School, and to install a speed table on Hanham Road.
The purpose of the scheme is to reduce traffic speed on Hanham Road adjacent to Beacon Rise Primary School. The proposed scheme would reduce the speed limit from 30mph to 20mph in the vicinity of the school and introduce a 75mm speed table adjacent to the School entrance, together with reviewing waiting restrictions on the surrounding roads.
The roads affected by the proposals are Beaconlea, Court Road, Dundry Close, Gunning Close, Hanham Road (Part), Jays Close, Mount Gardens, Pettigrove Road, Quarry Road and Tippetts Road.
Speaking about the proposed scheme, local Woodstock Ward councillor Andy Perkins says:
"Speed on Hanham Road is a concern and my colleagues and I encourage local people to respond to the consultation that the Council is currently running. A 20mph zone sounds like a good idea, but we have found, through surveys, that the same speed limit in Kingswood town centre is widely flouted. Enforcement will be the key issue, and Government cuts to the police will make this even more difficult.
If the Council decides to go ahead with a speed table outside Beacon Rise, it really must sort out the drainage issues. Contractors were supposed to have put in proper drainage when the existing build-out was put there about 10 years ago but they didn't. The Council subsequently stuck down a bit of tarmac to deflect water, but we need to have a proper solution this time.
The proposals would require some changes to local parking restrictions, although these are at a minimum. It is difficult to strike the right balance in streets built many decades ago when car ownership levels much lower, but we do need take action to keep our streets safer."
The consultation runs until 31st July and is online HERE

the queen apparently hadnt been to halifax in 16 years, and she chose 3 days while we lived here to come visit. our good luck eh? even better...she stayed at the government house in downtown halifax...literally 4 doors down from us. the night before her arrival they had barricades and police on duty. the excitement was in the air.
her trip started off with the local weather staple...rain, which scared away many potential well-wishers. so, her arrival at the government house for that day was very uncrowded, which was perfect for us. we bounced down our front steps 5 minutes before and got a front row spot across from where her motorcade pulled up and she got out. X was able to be only a few feet from the queen of england when she waved to the crowd. very cool.
she was heading out to tour the naval ships celebrating the centennial of canadas navy.
(naval ships in halifax harbor; X is bored)
and, on her final morning, X and i were able to see the queen leave. scads of people were in front of the house to see her off this time. her final photo opp was to plant a tree on the government house lawn and then be sent on her way with a row of bagpipers piping. again the queen was a bit too far away for pictures (plus, shes way short!), but i was able to catch a glimpse of her green suit and hat though. thank goodness.
such a unique thing to be around town for. i was never really enamored with royal family stuff, but it was definitely something special to watch her come and go each day.

Coffee Cups
Over a year, use of a KeepCup reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 92% compared to disposable cups.
It is estimated Australians use 1 billion disposable coffee cups each year. That's approximately 2,700,000 paper coffee cups thrown out every day! Even though paper cups can be recycled, the best choice is to use a reusable coffee cup, thereby not creating any waste whatsoever.
The KeepCup brand of reusable coffee cups is our preferred choice:
- Compared to ceramic mugs, KeepCups take less energy to produce and are light weight and durable so can be easily carried around with you.
- The cups are designed and manufactured in Australia so are supporting local industry and have lower carbon miles.
- The cups are made from recyclable plastic and also meet OHS requirements for those who make the coffee.
Another Australian alternative are Frank Green, who make reusable drink cups and bottles. Some come with in built technology to pay via the cup itself! Frank Green is 100% designed and manufactured in Melbourne.
*The reason UoM can take coffee cups in the recycling (unlike so many other places) is that our recyclers have a more complex sorting system for the mixed recycling, and have indicated that they can take the coffee cups.
They are sent off for recycling with other similar materials such as milk cartons. Recycling laminated paper coffee cups involves pulping the cup in water to separate the polyethylene layer from the paper fibre.

In This Episode: Say hello to my co-host (and long-time assistant), Clare Angelica.
"This is Episode 1 …so we'll probably flub it up!" I said in the opening. But you know, for our first try, I think it's a pretty decent effort. 🙂
Not just another pretty face, Clare is a smart, thoughtful gal who can hold her own in a conversation — pretty much what I need in a co-host for the Uncommon Sense Podcast. While she definitely has an uncommon amount of common sense, she has never done "radio" before, so she's a bit tentative in her debut here. I suspect, though, in another episode or two, she'll really be making her presence felt.
I took this pic of her just before we started recording, and she retaliated by taking the camera and shooting back the other way. Fair enough! (I'm still waiting for my mic boom to be delivered, dang it….)
Show Notes
- Clare's web site is ClareAngelica.com (note there's no "i" in Clare!)
- Clare's women-pirate-romance book (about strong, independent female pirates who can kick men's butts) is actually a trilogy, available for $2.99 each on Kindle and $19.99 in paperback:
- The Siren's Sea: Revenge (paperback)
- The Siren's Sea: Redemption (paperback)
- The Siren's Sea: Reawakening (brand new: paperback not out yet).
- The This is True-related web sites mentioned are, of course:
- Randy's Random — my fun memes site for which Clare creates many of the graphics
- Honorary Unsubscribe — the usually-weekly feature in True
- Spam Primer — how to regain control of your inbox, and
- Get Out of Hell Free cards.
- Clare also mentioned the Get Out of Hell Free button, which is a follow-on to the Doesn't Play Well with Obliviots button.

Randy: OK… Welcome to Uncommon Sense, the This is True podcast. I'm Randy Cassingham and this is episode one, so we'll probably flub it up. Yes, there's somebody there laughing. So I would like to introduce my cohost. She'll be here most of the time. It's Clare Angelica from clareangelica.com, who also happens to be my assistant. Why is it you have your own website, Clare?
Clare: I'm a writer.
Randy: Yeah?
Clare: Yes.
Randy: What kind of things do you write?
Clare: So far fiction — historical fiction, romance.
Randy: Historical, romance, fiction. Next thing you're going to tell me it has to do with pirates or something.
Clare: It does. Women pirates.
Randy: Women pirates, ooh.
Clare: Independent, strong women.
Randy: Do they fight male pirates?
Clare: They kick their butts, yeah.
Randy: All right. … She just said, "Can I say that?" Yes, you can say "kick butt." Can't say "kick ass" though.
Clare: We'll have to edit that out.
Randy: Well, we're not going to do much editing. If we really flub and I just did a flub myself, but I'm not going to try to fix every little flub. We're pretty much going to do live tape where we just go with the flow, and if there's something really bad happen like my pager goes off or something crazy like that, we'll probably edit that out.
Clare: Fair enough.
Randy: But other than that, I think we're just going to go with it. One thing I think we forgot to add is that when people go to clareangelica.com, they'll probably spell it wrong.
Clare: They probably will. It's spelled C-L-A-R-E.
Both: Angelica.
Randy: Yeah, I think they can figure out Angelica. If they can't, they don't deserve to go to your site.
Clare: That's right.
Randy: So you're also my assistant. You've been doing that for some number of years now. You took a year off and moved away and then realized the error of your ways and moved back.
Clare: I did. I had to come back. I missed you.
Randy: Yeah? I was the only reason?
Clare: No.
Randy: Okay. But, you actually didn't get your job back immediately when you came back.
Clare: I didn't. It was a few months, not too many.
Randy: All right. What should we talk about for the first episode?
Clare: I would like to know about how True got started.
Randy: You don't know that story? You didn't read all my blog posts and catch up with all that?
Clare: Well, I was five when it started so I'm a little behind. I probably didn't know how to use a computer. We might not even had one in the house.
Randy: Five years old when This is True started. Just before we started recording, I took a picture of Clare so that I can pop it up in the episode page. She, of course, took revenge and took a picture back but we'll have that and you can see what a five-year-old Clare looks like. Oh, actually, you're not five years old anymore. It's been a few years.
Clare: Just a few. Yeah.
Randy: Actually this week starts This is True's 24th year, which is kind of mind-boggling to me. I can do the math and it sounds like you're about 29.
Clare: 28.
Randy: Oh, so you're not quite to your birthday yet.
Clare: Don't age me yet. I got a year. Well, less than that.
Randy: Yeah, right. All right. How did This is True get started? Well, I was working at NASA Jet Propulsion Lab at the time and most people around the lab, I shouldn't say most people, but a lot of people, had bulletin boards, and they would put up their favorite cartoons. What I put were clips from the newspaper, and I would clip out these weird stories and just clipping them out and putting them on the bulletin board wasn't good enough for me. I would usually highlight some particular thing in the story just to bring attention to this point of what was this guy thinking or whatever, and I would hand write comments off to the side. And that's what became the taglines to the stories. Instead of highlighting things in a 500-word story, we rewrite the stories with a stylized way of doing it, get it down to probably about a hundred words and then the tagline is added to the end. That's how it started on a bulletin board at JPL.
My secretary would just love these clips. When I put up new clips, we'd get little crowds of people showing up. "Oh, there's new clips. Oh, boy. Let's go take a look." My secretary was one of the ones that would just be hysterical reading these things, and she would say, "You got to write a column." I thought, "Eh." Yes, I have a journalism degree and I went into journalism school with the idea that I would be a columnist, and then I got reality in journalism school and found out you had to cut your teeth as a reporter to be able to get your own column and doing feature writing. You know what? I went to journalism school but I did not want to be a reporter.
I put that on hold and that's how I ended up at JPL in the first place because I was doing technical publishing there until I found out about this Internet thing in the early '90s and figured out or had the realization that I can put this Internet thing to use and just go completely around the newspapers, go completely around editors and syndicates and go directly to the audience on the Internet and publish it by email and I can be a columnist.
Clare: You've since published, what? Are we in eight books now? We're a little behind.
Randy: Oh, boy. She's going to the guts right away! Man! … So, it's Clare's fault. Clare is the one that's actually catching me up on publishing. There's supposed to be a book for every year of the columns — just pile them all together. In the early days that was about 500 stories and headlines per year. Now that we're doing more stories per week, it's more like 6 or 700 stories per year. But, I haven't been keeping up with the publishing, partly because in the old days — back in '90s (you know, the old days), publishing a book was a little bit difficult in that it was printing presses. The only way you could make it pay was to do about 3,000 copies of the book. It was cheaper to do it that way because you're doing it in volume. A book was X number of dollars to print and then Y number of dollars to ship it to you. Clearly we had upfront thousands of dollars to print a book, and then you had to store them, because you're getting 3,000 copies. That's about two pallet loads of books. You had to have a place for that.
It was okay for the first volume, the second volume, the third volume. I got up to six volumes. And it was like, 'I don't have any more space for these books. How am I going to have 10 volumes, 20 volumes, or now 23?'
So I just said, "OK: We've got to stop this." I'm putting out thousands of dollars in inventory, first of all, and then trying to figure out where I'm going to store all these stuff. Then we moved in the middle of all this and we had to pay to move all these books from Boulder over here to Ridgway, and realized this isn't the way to do it. So I pulled back for a little bit and meanwhile, instant printing came along where we could probably about triple the cost of the old method, we could do as few as 10 copies.
So now I don't have huge amounts of inventory and, in the meantime, of course, eBooks came along, too. There's no inventory cost for eBooks. We can just load them up to the server. If somebody buys one, they can download it. Drop it into their book reader, or tablet, or even their phones, and read it there. So we have two options now: we've got the eBooks and we've got the instant print books that are just basically when we need some more books, we say, "Hey, send us 10, or 20, or 30 more." Don't have thousands of dollars tied up in inventory, and we can ship them off one at a time when people order them. That's what we're catching up on now that all that technology is in place, so that's where you come in and you've been prepping the books, and I've been falling behind on getting them actually off to the printer so that they can be ordered and that's another story about travel and being too dang busy.
We are catching up and we will have more books coming out soon.
Clare: You always know when I'm editing because I'm laughing and it's generally the taglines. The stories also are very entertaining but the taglines, I always have to read them, share with you why I'm giggling.
Randy: Yeah, I'm sitting here working and I hear Clare giggling over there. I was like, "OK: Are you working on a meme for the Randy's Random site? What are you doing?" She's saying, "Well, I just read this story." I was like, "Which one?" 'Cause I want to laugh, too! But it's a fun job, it sounds like.
Clare: I enjoy it. I'm happy to be back.
Randy: Good. Well, I'm glad to have you back and not have to train somebody else.
Clare: Randy, you mentioned Randy's Random. What other websites do you have going on?
Randy: Over the years we've done a lot of websites. Some have come and gone, but the stalwarts right now are Randy's Random, like you mentioned, which is a meme a day site, the HonoraryUnsubscribe.com site which is an archive of the …basically obituary at the end of each issue. This is True is about dumb people doing dumb things and the Honorary Unsubscribe is the relief to that comical tragedy. It's about somebody cool who really did cool things. There's the Spam Primer because as an email publisher I realized spam was going to be a big, big problem — and it has been — and GetOutOfHellFree.com, which is an interesting sideline when one of my readers back in the year 2000 said, I was going to hell for one of my taglines. The Get Out of Hell Free card is my response to her. Since 2000, more than two million of the cards have been sold.
Clare: It's a lot of fun to hand out.
Randy: That's one of your benefits! In lieu of pay, I give you cards to hand out to people.
Clare: They usually get a chuckle.
Randy: Usually.
Clare: I like the expression, too, when they first look at the card.
Randy: Right. About 99.5% of the people laugh or like the card and slightly less than 1% say, "I don't get it." Or, "What does this mean?" Or, "Are you a preacher?" Or something like that. I was like, "No."
Clare: They like the GOOHF button, the Get Out of Hell Free button. That gets a lot of comments when I wear that.
Randy: There's that one, and the original button actually is … Do you remember?
Clare: The obliviot button.
Randy: Yeah. Yeah. I think it says, "Doesn't play well with obliviots." Which was an afterthought to make that a button. I think I made it a virtual button and just posted it on Facebook and people said, "I want that!" I had to quick find a vendor to make buttons and, boy, the first … I think I had 500 made. The first 500 went out the door in about a month and I had to have more made. It's just crazy. But I have fun wearing that one, too.
Clare: Yeah, that's another fun one.
Randy: All right. Well, I think that's probably good enough for the first episode. I want to keep them to 20 or 30 minutes and I'm not really looking at the clock but it feels like about 20 minutes. You had fun with this?
Clare: I did.
Randy: I had fun with it, too. This is True is supported by patreon.com.

Watch out Siri, Evi may be taking over!
Amazon has reportedly bought a voice recognition app called Evi, as well as the company that created it, for $26 million according to TechCrunch sources. Evi, the Siri-like app that runs on both Android and iPhone, looks to possibly join Amazon's portfolio with another voice recognition company that was purchased back in January called Ivona. If you look at these purchases, it would make you wonder if Amazon is looking to develop an new device. A smartphone perhaps? Even if not, the Kindle platform would be perfect for such an app.
So what does the app really do? Evi uses natural language text to recognize what the user means, as well as their intent. It has an ontology of tens of thousands of classes and almost a billion so-called facts (machine understandable bits of knowledge) and, according to its creators at the former True Knowledge, can infer trillions more when needed. It can also look to Yelp for local searches, external mobile friendly websites, APIs, traditional search, etc.
When calls to Amazon PR, backers at Octopus Ventures, and the founders of Evi were made, a spokesperson for Octopus said: "On this occasion Octopus will decline to comment on this specific portfolio company." Records show that all of the Evi Technologies Ltd. directors have been replaced by Amazon's UK legal representatives, and all of Octopus Ventures' funds refer to the disposing of their shares in Evi Technologies (all of this is confirmed by the Octopus Ventures annual report.)
In the beginning, Evi was quite controversial, being threatened to be pulled from the Apple App store for being too similar to Siri, then being allowed to stay. So what is next for Evi? Could Amazon have a new smartphone in the works, or maybe they are looking to implement on current devices? Let us know what you are thinking in the comments below!

I have no idea when my mother died. I was there. I planned and attended the funeral, but apparently I have totally blocked the date. If my life depended on it, I would not be able to remember her date of death. I'm guessing it was somewhere between 10 – 15 years ago.
I went through some semblance of the "normal" grieving process, and after awhile, I only thought about her on occasions, which became further and further apart. My thoughts of her usually occurred at some family gathering when we were reminiscing.
But yesterday, Mother's day, the sadness exploded. The hostess asked each person at the table to introduce themselves and relate a story about their mother. My insides froze. The sadness welled up in my chest until I couldn't talk. I was caught totally off-guard. I had no idea where the sadness had been hiding. Plenty of Mother's days have gone by since my Mother passed, and the only time I remember it invoking sadness was when I spent my first Mother's day without her.
As my turn approached, I had to find my voice. I didn't want to cry in front of these strangers. I was barely able to tell them my Mother had passed and it was not a good day for me. Naturally, that was a downer for everyone, because they had all been relating wonderful experiences about their Mom's. But everyone, including me, recovered.
I guess it just means that she is still with me. She is still in my heart and soul.
Stay tuned.

A harsh arming competition takes place in our environment every day. Various pathogens seek to trick the human immune system and the latter – undertakes their guile and reacts accordingly as well as memorizes the danger. This archaic, however elegant, mechanism of immune response was developed by complex organisms way before the human species entered nature. We also keep the "memories" of previously encountered microorganisms till the end of our lives. However, due to a rapid alternation and development of microorganisms, our natural defence system is not always capable of protecting us from the threats the germs possess. Luckily, we have developed a great help in this matter – vaccines, which have become a controversial object of interest for so called modern experts of everything. So for once and for all, how do the pathogens cause infectious diseases? Are vaccines truly dangerous, as is often implied by the anti-vaccers? What do the cow disease, vaccines and the wiping of deadly virus from the surface of the earth have in common? All the answers to these questions and much more will be revealed in our Science Espresso discussion on the 29th, August.

Today, our house was shown for the seventh time since we listed it for sale (and the fourth time in the past two weeks after our price reduction). Maybe we will receive an offer soon?
This week was definitely a challenge! I spent five days away from Jennie & Daphne as I traveled to Atlanta for business training. On the bright side, it did fly by rather quickly (great food, long days in class, and a little shopping & hockey). I don't understand how full-time consultants who travel each and every week do it. Spending time with my family is so very important to me.
In three short days, I will be 37 years young. It seems like only yesterday I was 36 years & 361 days old. Oh yeah, I was.
New photos of Daphne coming soon:
Until tomorrow,
Dave T.

Random thought number one:
As I looked around and listened to everything at the Fiesta Bowl a week or so ago, I had the thought , I wonder why we can get so worked up and excited about a ballgame and why we are not allowed to or not motivated enough to get just that excited about the Good News and about telling people about Jesus? Any thoughts? Let me know. I have plenty of opinions on the subject but would love to know yours.
Random thought number two:
As you can see if you are reading this blog, a lot of my entries are about Will getting ready to leave for college and his last year here at home. Well, I have to say that trend will probably continue for a while. ha. We are now thinking about taking senior pictures, debit cards, FAFSA applications, football scholarship money, registering for the draft, and a million other things to do before he drives off from here. We are heading to Harding in a few weeks for his official football recruiting visit. The boy is so excited that he cannot see straight. I am happy for him. Life is moving on.
Random thought number three:
How do you waste your time? I am sorry to say that I am a grand waster of time. It is one of my biggest problems. I usually start out with great intentions. List of to do things, etc. I have found though that if I do not get the big and important things done first that I am not disciplined enough to get them done later in the day. I have a HUGE struggle with staying off the computer. It is an eater of my time and I get lost in it. Here is what I am focusing on in order.
Get up...Bible study, make breakfast, 5 min. devo. with boys, WALK- I feel so much better when I do this one, laundry, THEN computer time and everything else on the list. I have to start with the Bible study first or I just don't get it done. And what a blessing it is to start the day with God. My days just don't go good when I don't listen to Him and talk to Him first. I then have something of worth to say to my children. (Now, the days I have to go to work are are a REAL challenge. My hat is off to you wonderful women that have to work everyday and still get it all done!) Blessings on you!!
Psalm 5:3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
I love this scripture. He is telling me that HE hears my voice. Awesome.
I had a conversation this morning with Will about the difference in serving God because you just want to so you won't get in trouble and just trying to follow the rules or... serving God because you want to glorify and please him as King David did. Being in love with God and knowing Him versus just trying to do what your parents tell you to do spiritually but not knowing Him.
One works and the other does not. Our biggest challenge as Christan parents is to teach them to have their own faith in God and not to just know Him through us. I pray that we can all be led by God to instill in them that longing to be after His heart and to know Him intimately. Thoughts anyone?
Random thought number four:
How to help two very different and in some ways alike, wonderful young men see their gifts. Wes compares himself to Will all of the time and it is a struggle for this Mamma. For now we are just letting them fight it all out. (Need to fix that broken molding on the door coming into the kitchen that Will busted running from Wes. Also...thanks Uncle Bill for fixing Will's bed that broke when Wes form tackled him on top of it a few months ago.) On going challenge... not to scream at them all of the time. Oh well.
Now...just some random pictures to go along with the random thoughts. I love you guys.
The grandkids last July in the Bahamas for GrandJan and Daddyburl's 50th Anniversary. We were full of getting ready plans this time last year for that trip. What fun we had.
Will helping to teach class in Zambia on the medical mission trip three years ago. My how time has flown. That trip changed Will's life. His desire since then has been to be a vocational missionary. Larry Henderson has also had a huge empact on Will's life. Being a missionary like Larry and his example of living has also inspired Will.
New Orleans stop on the way to cruise last summer. The mighty Mississippi.
