I don't know about you, but I'm a big fan of the Next Top Model franchise - I love America's Next Top Model, Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model (aka BINTM....hehe, BINT!), and I've even found myself tuning into Australia's Next Top Model from time to time, although I do tend to find the aussie one a bit *yawn*. Anyway, the point is - I like me some NTM. However, the most recent series of ANTM (the "Allstar" cycle) is really starting to grind my gears, to the point that I've almost given up altogether.
Why you might ask? Well, first of all it seems to get more and more ridiculous with every episode, and not in a good way. Seriously I think Tyra has lost her mind. I get that it's the "allstar" cycle so they've tried hard to make it a bit different, but in doing so they've taken it to the extreme and it's almost become a parody.
The tasks just seem mental - from the bizarre "write a song that contains the line 'Pot Ledom - thats Top Model backwards'" to the so-wrong-it's-almost-right feta salad bowl photoshoot, to the downright dumb video for Tyra's "novel" about a model called Tooke who lives in the mountains (or something shit like that). It's getting embarrassing. You can literally see the shame grow on poor Allisons' face each week.
Oh and did I mention that Lisa has made it to the top 3? Lisa?!! Need I remind you that she peed in an adult nappy/diaper during her cycle?! She peed. In a nappy. In front of other human beings. The bitch is crazy! And also, I hate to be a cow but....she is way too old!! I mean not literally old (I'm sure she's younger than me) but she looks haggard (that's what a crazy life does to you folks).
And finally, don't get me started on the fact that the dreadful Alexandra was classed as an Allstar....
Anyway that's enough from me - I'm away to watch a video of Angelea telling a bunch of Greek VIPs that she needs the loo (yep, that actually happened).

Unfortunately (or not depending on who you are in this story), the mommy was fairly sleep deprived and, much to the delight of the rest of her family (the little snots), she fell asleep once the game started. See the mommy snore and drool?
It wasn't long before the daddy and the girl decided it would be fun to try to throw whoppers (a perfectly good chocolate candy) into the mommy's open mouth. Meanwhile, the little boy decided it would be more fun to try to steal the pretty cotton candy from the little boy in the seat in front of him.
When a whopper pelted her in the eye and woke her up, the daddy cheered the mommy up by reminding her that it could have been worse. They could have not woken her up and had her put on the giant screen behind them for everyone to see. The mommy expressed her gratitude by sticking a whopper up the daddy's nose.
And because no family trip would be complete without it, the girl decided to fall down the stairs at the end of the night, narrowly escaping serious injury but managing to take out 2 adults in the process. Yay us! Er, I mean, Yay them!
And, um... I'm sorry. This seemed so much funnier when I thought about blogging it at 3 am Saturday morning. It's amazing the things that amuse you when you're begging a toddler to sleep.
The team lost but we still had fun. Because no matter where we go we somehow manage to make complete fools of ourselves.
And then there was Mr X. He took my camera and said he was going to just take a picture of Ichiro for me. 5 minutes later, he's giggling like a schoolgirl and he won't give me back the camera. When he finally showed me what he was doing, I nearly peed myself laughing. The following commentary is all his.
"Do these pants make my butt look big?"
"I'm too sexy for my glove..... Hey there Sexy Girlfriend!"
"I blow you keessseessss!!!!!!"
And I have 17 more pictures of Ichiro in strange poses on my camera that he took that night. My husband is the strangest person I've ever met.

"With this automated platform, Telangana and AP will become first states in the country to have technologically advanced Intelligence Departments," Plumsoft Solutions said in a statement.
"This cloud-based platform will centralise all employee data from across different government organisations, thereby, making background verification process and access hassle-free," it added.
The key efficiencies of this platform include reducing the background verification process from months to days and simplifying background verification process through online coordination between various concerned departments.
Besides, it includes real-time visibility into progress and work loads and eliminating duplication of information as all the data will be synchronised at one place, it said.
AP Intelligence Superintendent of Police N S J Laxmi said, "Employee verification is a critical part of recruitment process in government sector. Accurate result with minimum human interference was imperative. With Plumware's competency, our department can now update and monitor background verifications."
"With this automation, we can now utilise our resources more efficiently. Going forward, we hope to automate other similar processes," Telangana Intelligence Superintendent of Police N Shiva Shankar Reddy said.
Briefing on the tie-up, JVRK Sastry, CTO, Plumsoft Solutions, said, "With our cloud based platform Plumware, we have reduced errors and scope for security compromises which was a concern for the police department.
"Government employee details can now be uploaded on a common platform online instead of information exchange over posts or e-mails."
This platform will be deployed to respective police departments this year and is expected to cover details from across 22 locations initially, the statement said.

These Are The Official Cases for the Google Pixel 3 lineup
The Pixel 3 and 3 XL have arrived, and similar to last year, Google's got a solid selection of official cases that are launching alongside its two new phones. If you're looking to protect your Pixel 3, these are among the top cases that should be on your shortlist.
Soft and lovely
Google Fabric Case
Google's fabric case was one of the best you could buy for the Pixel 2 last year, and with the Pixel 3, that point holds true once again. The case costs $40 for both the 3 and 3 XL and is available in Carbon, Indigo, Fog, and Pink Moon.
Fully customizable
Google My Case
Want a case that's as unique as you? With Google's My Case, you can create a fully customizable case with either your own photos, a Google Maps view of a certain location, or different designs from a collection of artists.
Leather luxury
Bellroy Leather Case
Bellroy is known for expertly crafting exquisite leather goods, which is why Google has teamed up with them yet again this year for their premium leather cases. Made using "gold-rated LWG tannery leather", this thin leather case comes in three beautiful colors and perfectly hugs every curve of your Pixel 3.
Up your camera game
Moment Photo Case
The Pixel 3 already has an incredible camera, but with the Moment Photo Case, you can make it even better. The case itself offers basic protection, but once it's installed, you can attach any of Moment's camera lenses. This bundle comes with the case and a wide-angle lens.
Looking good
Sonix Clear Coat Case
This case from Sonix lets some of your Pixel 3 shine through while dressing it up with one of three unique patterns. You've got ruggedized 360-degree protection, precise cutouts for everything, and a price tag that won't hurt your wallet too much.
Clearly durable
Incipio Under Armor Protect Verge
Incipio's case combines a great clear design with super-durable protection on all fronts. The tough rubber bumper surrounding your phone offers more than enough coverage from drops, falls, and more.
12-feet of protection
Tech21 Evo Check
If you're a real butterfingers and need something that'll guard your Pixel 3 against just about anything, the Tech21 Evo Check is a great fit. It's rated to keep your phone safe from up to a 12-foot drop and does so without adding any unnecessary bulk.
Wallet case
Bellroy Leather Phone Wallet
Combine your phone and wallet into one with Bellroy's wallet case! Made out of genuine leather, this case has a flip cover that houses secret compartments for your cards, a SIM removal tool, and more.
Toughest there is
OtterBox Defender Series Screenless Edition
For people that are really, really bad at always dropping their phones, we recommend getting the OtterBox Defender for the Pixel 3. OtterBox ran the case through over 24 "rigorous assessments" over the course of 238 hours to make sure it can withstand anything. They're not playing around.
The Google Pixel 3 is shaping up to be a fantastic device, and if you want to make it even better, one of these cases should help you do the trick. One of these cases isn't necessarily better than the rest, so find what suits your taste/style the best and just go for it.

It forever seems as if life just got busier. Whether you've always had a kind of full-on agenda, or you're now just starting to realize that you have a lot of your plate, you may be starting to feel the strain of trying to juggle it all. With working on your dream home, working your job, and even throwing kids into the mix, life can get tough. No, not just tough - hard to manage! And you can forget about a social life! But then what? Are you supposed to be on the go from 5am until 11pm and just deal with it? Definitely not! If you want to work on making things feel a little easier, then see if any of these services can make your work-life balance easier to achieve.
Cleaning Services
When you've had a hard day at work, the last thing you want to do is come home and clean. But at the same time, you want a nice house that's well kept together. So something has to give. If you're not of fan of cleaning all week until the early hours, then don't. Hire a cleaner instead! You can often get someone in to clean your home for a few hours a week at a really great price. The small investment will mean you have one less thing on your list!
Food Deliveries
If you're forever forgetting about grocery shopping, and you have even less time to think about preparing a nice meal, then you're definitely going to want to work this out. Okay, so you might not want to cook a gourmet meal every evening, or even head out to dinner night after night, but you need and easier solution, and fast. That's where recipe boxes come in. With all the food you need and simple recipes to follow, cooking is made easier. To find the best, see independent.co.uk for details in their review.
Rubbish Removal
Next up, let's talk trash. Because if you've ever realized that yours just seems to pile up without any kind of real reason too, then you may need a rubbish removal service to help you out. And yes, this is a thing, you only have to see dirtcheaprubbishremoval.com.au for more info on how to make it happen. So if you're tired of the smell, don't let it bring you down, get someone else to get rid of it instead.
Laundry Services
And we all know that you're not going to have time to be worrying about laundry on top of everything else too. So take a look into laundry services. You may even find that the cleaning company you enquire with can take care of it for you - and your ironing too!
Lifestyle Assistance
If you've always got a long list of errands to run, then you may even need a lifestyle assistant too. And again - yes that's a thing! You can hire a personal assistant to help you out in life. From running errands and organizing to planning trips and even helping you move - they could be exactly what you need to get your work-life balance back on track.

I wrote this article for PANDAS in the hope that one day there won't be such a thing called stigma when it comes to mental health.
I suffered with depression prior to my pregnancy because we found out we couldn't conceive naturally. I felt like the world had come crashing down around me. And I was very low. We planned our fertility treatment and ended up having IVF. I became very anxious; I basically lived in a bubble through my pregnancy. I would over analyse everything, I wouldn't eat anything unless I prepared it or if I told someone what to prepare. I read the labels on everything. I wouldn't over exercise. Because I was told it's better for baby to lay on your left, I was so scared to lay on my right side during my sleep that I hardly slept. I prayed everyday that we would make it to the end and meet our little girl. But at the back of my mind I was worrying about what my life would now be like. Did losing my "Pap" mean that I got to have a baby. There is an old myth that when you lose a loved one a baby comes along. He was my closet relative and this played on my mind throughout.
I was anxious, irritable, agitated, tired from lack of sleep, nervous, low and spent a lot of time crying.
I had all different sorts of ideas running through my head. How can I care for a baby? What if this happened, what would I do? Is this it for the next 20 years. Then I'd think: I can't wait, all those cute clothes and day trips out.
It was exhausting.
During my pregnancy I suffered with severe morning sickness and had to have medication. I was diagnosed with pelvic girdle pain and saw a physiotherapist. The IVF and pregnancy certainly took its toll on me both physically and mentally. I had a few scares through my pregnancy regarding my baby's heart rate. This did not help my anxiety at all. I expressed to the medical professionals my levels of anxiety and that I was concerned about my delivery. I was exhausted from not sleeping with worry. I didn't think they would get her out, due to previous Gynae problems. I was told it was just nerves and not to worry. "Every mum feels like it. Every mum gets nervous."
I was not asked about my mental health during my pregnancy. I was always told it is first time mum nerves. My advice would be to other parents, don't accept this if you feel low. Then please seek help.
After a rough pregnancy my baby decided to come a few weeks early.I had mixed emotions, I thought finally we would get to meet and this worry will be all over with.
That's what I thought anyway.
I couldn't have been more wrong.

I bought my 23" cinema display a few months ago in may and ended up taking it back to the apple store I bought it from because it had an uneven backlight. There were two bright spots on the edges. Very annoying when trying to watch a movie. They tested it and said that it was fine and that the reason i was getting this is because my graphics card was older. For the time being, I was using a custom pc. Now I have my mac pro and I still have this problem, even with this new radeon 1900xt. Is this a common occurence with these displays. Should I call apple about getting it fixed or replaced.

There's a new subscription box service in town and they go by the name of Sol Theory.
I randomly got a comment on one of my Instagram photos asking if I was interested in working with a brand called Sol Theory. They promote that they are a monthly subscription box for trendy eyewear, fashion jewelry and beauty. After doing some research, I saw the brand truly is fairly new and that they have ambassadors all over social media. Not just people with millions and millions of followers either, they literally are reaching out to women from all different backgrounds to try out their service and that I thought was pretty dope. With that being said…
I've decided partner with Sol Theory and bring these products to my followers. The good thing about Sol Theory is that they have several different options, all are reasonably priced. I don't know about ya'll but summer time chi is coming up and WHO wouldn't want to have a fresh pair sunglasses for everyday of the week during the summer? Click here to give Sol Theory a shot, your first box is 20% off!

Keep It Flowing
This story appears in the June 2001 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Ok, so the gradual increase in SBA lending might not show the kind of stellar growth the financial community has come to know and demand. Given the current market, however, it should be comforting just to know Uncle Sam is still around. The numbers for 2000 show an upward trend, with total SBA-backed financing, including loans and venture capital, reaching $17.96 billion in the fiscal year. That's an increase of more than $1.5 billion over 1999. Of that figure, SBA-approved loans accounted for $12.37 billion.
Those are respectable numbers, considering how much money was available to small businesses from other sources in 2000. But even the SBA's Mike Stamler characterizes the growth as "small," particularly when compared with the jumps witnessed in the early '90s, when there were fewer commercial institutions making loans to small businesses. Today, commercial banks are adjusting their loan standards to increase small-business lending, and entrepreneurs are enjoying more borrowing options and tend to go to the SBA only when they can't qualify for a nonguaranteed conventional loan, says Stamler. He calls the SBA the lender of next, if not last, resort.
That may be why the dollar amount of 7(a) General Business loans increased a mere 4 percent last year. It's growth, sure, but nowhere near that of the Microloan program, which increased by more than a third from 1999 to 2000. The Certified Development Company (CDC) loan program for 504 loans, on the other hand, is the only category that showed a slight decline, down from $2 billion in 1999 to $1.8 billion.
Patricia Ferm, president of SBA Loans 4 U Inc., a Jacksonville, Florida, consulting firm that provides help for small businesses trying to get government-sponsored loans, says 504 numbers may be down because lending institutions tend to recommend 7(a) loans because they're more profitable for the lender. In many cases, though, CDCs are better for entrepreneurs because they allow qualified borrowers to lock in 20-year fixed rates while putting only 10 percent down. The problem, says Ferm, is that they're not being told about it.
The jury's still out on just how 2001 numbers will fare. President Bush's proposed budget would cut SBA appropriation by roughly 40 percent, and that could be cause for concern. But the SBA isn't planning to cut programs, and Stamler maintains that substantial room for the cuts can be found in SBA programs without sacrificing quality of service to small businesses. Still, entrepreneurs might not be happy with the "modest fee hike" that will be charged to borrowers for 7(a) loans greater than $150,000 under the Bush plan. Stamler points out, however, that CDC loans experienced a similar change in 1997. They were put on a zero appropriation diet, so the program was supported by fees that decreased over time. "It's a way to continue to fund the programs at a level that's equal to or higher than this year's in terms of program levels and still take into account the budget pressures in Washington on all departments," he says.
As of March 2001, total SBA lending was trailing figures from the same period in 2000. Stamler says it's difficult to say exactly why, or what it indicates for the rest of the year. "How many, in the face of warnings about the direction of the economy, have decided to forgo or postpone the spending they needed to borrow for?" he asks. Another factor is whether commercial lenders are going to pull back conventional lending more over this year, perhaps in response to warnings from the Fed about increasing nonperformance in loans, says Stamler. "Typically, then we see more applications from small businesses for SBA guarantees."
But as for entrepreneurs putting growth on hold in tough times, it's hardly a foregone conclusion. Or at least it wasn't for Mike Rogers, 33, president of Apopka, Florida-based Spectrum Printing, who just got a 10-year fixed-rate CDC loan to expand his nearly 5-year-old business by purchasing another nearby printing company. "We've been growing each year, and we saw a way to continue that," he says. "[The recession] was a consideration, but if it does happen, I don't think it'll be a long-term thing. And my business is."

Hard Questions the Church is Asking (6 of 7)
March 31, 2010
Why are you a Christian? How do you know Christianity is right?
Here are the many areas as reasons why you believe. This one is a bit longer, so hang on.
- I believe because my parents believe.
When I was younger, I thought this was a very lame reason to have faith in God. As I study Scripture and grow in my understanding and experience with faith, I have come to appreciate the influence and power of 'family' in spreading faith in God. There are still many cultures around the world that deeply respect the decisions of others and it has a profound influence over people's decisions. The Bible teaches that parents are expected to teach their children about faith and pass on their faith in God to their children (Deuteronomy 6; 2nd Timothy 1). Many would even consider this way of spreading faith to be oppressive. But today, in the church at Northside, we figure out life and faith on our own as one of the highest noble goals.
- I believe because I have considered the evidence.
There are many today who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior because of the evidence they cannot ignore. Just yesterday, I met a man that chose to follow Jesus all the way to baptism because of the facts he had researched about the life of Christ. After being presented with the evidence (we call it apologetics) about Jesus, he was convinced and had nothing else to do but dedicated his whole life to God. Pretty cool, right? Many of you share a similar story. Josh McDowell (check out www.josh.org) and others have dedicated their lives to spreading the gospel by presenting it in a logical and systematic way. God has not left us with a mindless, make believe faith. Many Christians are strengthened in their faith by examining the evidences.
- I believe because of the work of God through His Spirit.
I believe that conversion (belief, repentance, confession, baptism) is ultimately a work of God through His Spirit. God uses the family. God uses the evidence around us. God uses His Spirit to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and the judgment to come (John 16). One day Jesus had this very insightful conversation with a man in John chapter 3. In this exchange Jesus teaches that everyone that is 'born-again' must be born of the Spirit. This was somewhat a new and thought-provoking idea in Jesus' day. It is important to remember that we should share the truth about Jesus as we pray for God to reveal Himself. This is why I always pray for the people that I am meeting with. Always. Do you?
I am sure that there are many more reasons as to why people choose to follow Jesus with their entire lives. I just listed the three most common ones I see.
One thing to remember – family history does not make a particular belief system right. There are many faith systems that are not true. This is why we need to pass on the truth about Jesus to our own families and help others around us that the truth that can be found in God's Son.
I think regularly why I'm a Christian. My faith is a direct result of all three listed above. I am grateful that God uses many different methods to prove Himself over and over. Feel free to send me the reasons why you believe at email@example.com. I'd love to hear from you. Happy Easter church, praise God for an empty grave!
51 year old oven dies and lives again!
March 30, 2010
We have a built-in oven in our house that was installed when the house was built. That oven is now 51 years old. It is amazing to me that an appliance that old still works. I think you could classify it as an antique, which makes me wonder if someone might classify me as an antique. I'm sure some of our younger people at church may think so, but I'm pretty sure that some of us "more mature" folks wouldn't see it that way.
My son-in-law turned the oven on a few weeks ago to bake a pizza. It was my son-in-law, not me! The heating element caught fire and it burned out. Yes, the smoke alarms went off! Okay, they go off when I'm cooking too, but for a different reason! Usually in my house, where there is smoke, I'm usually cooking! But it wasn't me! HONEST! Don't worry, it was a small fire – contained in the oven! But none-the-less "old-faithful" was dead! No more pies, cakes, cookies, meatloaf, pizza! OUCH! I like to eat too much, what would we do? We had been talking of "remodeling" the kitchen for years, but it just wasn't a good time for us to do that. And when you begin to remodel, not only is it costly, but it would involve an extensive project for us that would involve at least 2 rooms.
Good News! Our 51 year old "built-in" oven is back from the dead! (*I am in the resurrection business, you know!) It's amazing what a $3.81 part and a little wiring ingenuity can do! Of course, this does mean that the kitchen remodeling project will have to go onto the back burner now! Sorry Paula!
I'm glad that God is in the resurrection business too! That's what Easter is all about! We get "broken" too! I'm so glad that God just doesn't throw us out for a newer model when we sin! In fact, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Rom 5:8) God is patient with us, not willing that any should perish! (2 Peter 3:9)
John 11:25 (NIV) Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;
We can live again after we die in Heaven, a perfect paradise! That's what Easter is all about! That's why Easter is the biggest celebration each year! We can live again! And that's a whole lot more exciting that an "old oven" being resurrected! I hope you'll join us for one of our 5 Easter Worship Services Easter Sunday morning at Northside Christian Church!

The Astounding Evidence for God's Existence: Philosophy/Morals (Part 4 of 4)
March 29, 2010
"…since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them." -Romans 2:15
How do we know right from wrong? How do we know that there is such a thing as right and wrong? Did over time they just evolve out of nowhere or are they written in our hearts given to us by a moral lawgiver? These are some of the questions that will be answered as we conclude our look at the evidence for God's existence this month. First, let's look at the basis on the moral proof argument.
First, when we discuss right and wrong actions, we are engaging in the field called "morality" or "ethics." The definition of morality is the standards of conduct that are generally accepted as right or virtuous. Ethics then is just the system of morality that governs how a person or group should behave. The entire moral proof can be summarized in three simple, short sentences:
1) Every moral law had a moral lawgiver.
2) There is a moral law.
3) Therefore, it had a moral lawgiver.
Every moral law had a moral lawgiver. We know that laws do not emerge on their own; they must be given or legislated. The laws that govern the United States did not appear out of thin air; countless hours were spent on formulating and issuing them to our society. Another example is medical prescriptions. They are not prescribed by themselves; they need prescribers called "doctors." So we also know that the moral law written within us needs a lawgiver and this lawgiver we know as God.
So how do we know that laws did not just evolve over time? Moral principles are discovered, not invented. Moral reforms such as abolishing slavery, giving women the right to vote, and giving civil rights for African-Americans make no sense unless objective moral law exists. Even if it took several centuries for the abolishing of slavery that does not suggest that mortality just evolves over the course of human history. Rather, it readily suggests that moral principles can be discovered and are worth pursuing, even at the very high cost.

Do not be afraid
March 25, 2010
What if God said to you, "do not be afraid?" What would go through your mind? How would you react? Fear is an amazing emotion that can take the strongest person and send them into a spiraling, out of control, unstable bowl of mush. Over the years I have been on roofs, hanging off of a 40 foot ladder, in dark and deep underground tunnels showing no fear. Not many things bring forth fear except for the messy flu; I do not like things to return when they had been swallowed earlier. I am afraid of something happening to my family when I am not there. Sometimes I have no fear of telling others who Jesus, though struggle with letting others know who He is to me.
Do not be afraid, but trust in Him. Do not be afraid, rely on Him. Do not be afraid, He will protect you.
Now you have been told three times to not be afraid. God told Ezekiel three times in chapter 2 verse 6: "And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house." God told him three times in this verse and Ezekiel never wavered even when he would have to stand up and represent God with His truth. Ezekiel had to step up and confidently enlighten others with the truth of who God is and His expectations. Can we not waver and confidently as we represent God? This fear sometimes stymies our attempts to live out our life for Him, it is a chain that can be used against us and ultimately against Him. He is telling you right now, so do not fear but live your life out loud.
Hard Questions the Church is Asking (5 of 7)
March 24, 2010
Where is the line between being responsible for your family (financially), and giving it all up for the Lord?
Let's begin with the idea of being responsible. I don't know everyone's definition of what responsible is, what it looks like. It is true that it would probably be irresponsible to force others to care for the basic necessities of your family because you have given away all of your income. The apostle Paul warned Christians in the ancient city of Thessalonica to work hard in order to care for their own family and other families in need (1st Thessalonians 5:13-14).
I haven't known a family that was so dedicated to giving everything away to the point they became dependant on others to care for them. I'm not saying it's never happened, I'm saying it's rare. Most of us live under the pretense that we are taking care of the needs of our family. In reality, that creates an excuse to continue our self-centered living.
As followers of Jesus, we dedicate and commit everything we have for the advance of the Kingdom. It is wrong for us to believe or behave like we still have the right to hold greedily to our time, abilities, possessions, and income. God's Word warns that our problem stems from what we won't give, not from what we have.
I would love for you to start living like you believe God's kingdom is the greatest investment on earth (it is). We need to live like we believe the riches of this earth are only temporary (they are). We need to stop making excuses and admit that we are selfish (we are), that we're self-centered people struggling with the demands of Jesus. I will admit it (you can too).
The Bible teaches that if we don't want o honor God with all that we have (our money included), then we are free to keep it. We can hold onto and even enjoy everything we own. And when the final curtain falls, the temporary treasures we invested in will be our only reward. If you choose to hold onto your money, live it up. You better enjoy them as best you can.
Want another option? I do.
Give your money to God and trust Him for something greater. His promise is not just about heaven. It means that God is going to bless you in this life, on earth, if you choose to give to Him. How much should you give? Until it hurts.
Why did the Atheist go to church?
March 23, 2010
Honest, it's NO JOKE! I saw the question on a website! And of course, it made me wonder!!!! Why would an atheist go to church? Now on that same page I also saw –
1 Tip for a Flat Belly: Cut down 3 lbs Belly Fat every week just by using this 1 Weird Old Tip.
Get the latest in Hollywood Scandals & gossip – Updated daily!

Maybe those were some of the reasons an atheist would go to church! I'm not sure. I know we don't cover those topics! I haven't been able to find those in the Bible! Although, while the church might cover many topics, I pretty sure none of those would be a 'real' reason for an atheist to go to church. Now I did hear one time that Atheists have their own holiday! April 1st – April Fools Day! Because:
Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Why would an atheist go to church? If it were a joke, I guess a good answer would be to get to the other side! And that would be absolutely correct! "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad." (2 Corinthians 5:10) So, like it or not – we are all eventually going to get to the other side of life. It would be a very good answer, indeed!
I had boss one time tell me that he was in a fighter plane in the war. When the plane came under fire, the gunner, a self-proclaimed atheist, was so scared that he started praying! And because he was so nervous, he held down his microphone button so that everyone heard the "atheist" praying! I remember my boss telling me that when it came down to a real life and death issue there were really very few real atheists!
Why would an atheist go to church? I believe an atheist would/could go to church for the same reason that many go to church in the first place! They are looking and seeking! They know the way they have been living just isn't doing anything good for them. They need hope! They need life! They are hopeless and helpless!
Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Acts 17:27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
So, "Don't give up!" If you have an atheist in your family, if you have an atheist friend or work with an atheist, "don't give up!" They will have some of the same Innate human needs as any one would have. Don't be afraid to share your life and hope with them! Don't be afraid to invite them to our Easter services! They might just take you up on it! They might just find what they are looking for! I mean, why else would an atheist go to church?

The Astounding Evidence for God's Existence: Intelligent Design/Science (Part 3 of 4)
March 22, 2010
"We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations." -Biochemist Franklin M. Harold
Today more than ever it is believed that science is the highest form of knowledge. Science is seen as rational and the absolute truth. If it can't be tested by the scientific method; then it cannot be true or rational. Faith and science are seen as two completely different worldviews at odds with each other. The truth of the matter is that science actually supports theistic belief. Over the last fifty years or so, with the advance of technology research methods we're beginning to see how truly remarkable life is with fine-precision and complexity.
The design proof, popularized by William Parley, is the second of three major proofs for the existence of God. Like the cosmological proof, the design proof can be stated in three simple sentences:
1) Every design had a designer.
2) The universe has a design.
3) Therefore, the universe has a design.
Every design has a designer. This is a very obvious statement that no one dares to debate. Every building, painting, piece of clothing, or computer program comes from the mind of a designer. Intelligent design doesn't come together at random any more than a dictionary could come from an explosion from a print shop! Design simply states a designer is responsible.
The universe has a design. How do we know this? By looking around and observing the universe. The design we see is intricate and complex. One example of this is by looking at a single-cell animal. In a single-cell animal there is the same amount of information as one thousand volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica. If it reasonable to believe that computers, cameras, and cars need intelligent causes like humans to create them, then why do people find it so hard to understand the need for an intelligent cause of human existence? We've become blind to the truth all around us; ignoring it and accepting lies. "Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." -Romans 1:19, 20. We have no excuse not to see that everything before us was specially created for a unique purpose in mind. God has made it clear that He is behind the design of life!

Keeping the Message Simple
March 18, 2010
Oh, many years ago (okay back in high school) I was part of our local Junior Achievement group. After the business selections and making and selling candle sconces, so thankful for those with a big hearts toward the high school students, looking back I can not believe anyone bought one. During that year I was selected with several others to represent our area at the National Junior Achievement awards dinner in Cleveland. I was selected to escort George Mecherle Jr. from the airport, to his room, and finally to the stage where he was to accept an award on behalf of his grandfather, George J. Mecherle, the founder of State Farm Insurance. During that time I met the master of ceremonies for the event, Walter Cronkite, the legendary news anchor. As I talked with Mr. Cronkite I was mesmerized by his voice, articulation, and mannerisms. He brought excitement to a young man as if he were about to announce a major event that just happened. He had my attention even if we really never watched him on TV.
So how can Walter Cronkite grab my attention and draw me into the message of the moment, which happened to simply be what we were eating for dinner that evening. His message was simple and plainly stated but hooked me. Roll many more years back and another message was clear, simple and plainly stated. We, the Pharisees, can not get along with Christ. He must go. Somehow the simple message that needed to be conveyed by a few was able to affect so many to confuse who Christ really is. He came and lived a perfect life so how could a few articulate Pharisees convince the crowd to crucify Him? It was not necessarily because of who He was but what He was doing and sharing. Convinced that their voice was about to be lost, He must go. We have many moments to share and lead others to know who Christ really is, our voice does not have to be explosive, mesmerizing, or articulate to convey the simple truth that Jesus died for me, He died for you, and conquered it all by breaking free from the chains of death. Don't over think this, simply live it.
Hard Questions the Church is Asking (4 of 7)
March 17, 2010
If being a Christian is the only true way to God, why is there so much resistance in this world to the Gospel?
Think about the question for a moment…….if the Christian way had very little resistance, it would mean that being like God was easy, natural, undisciplined. If the Christian way was easy, then what Jesus did on the cross was a piece of cake. I'm a firm believer that the church was/is at its best when it was persecuted, martyred, illegal, and unpopular. The church in Acts faced anything but acceptance, and she was beautiful in God's eyes. Jesus says in John 15:`8 that if the world hates us, take comfort that the world hated Him first. We're going to face resistance.
As much as I want the message of Jesus to spread, I am aware that the audience is usually full of unwilling participants. I think I would have a difficult time facing the resistance around me in my life if Jesus' words promised me an easy time sharing His unique and convicting message. Jesus doesn't call us to "pick up our lazy boy and chill", He calls us to pick up a cross and follow Him. The world is going to have a problem with that.
The good/hard news is that Jesus clearly promised us that since the world hated Him first, the world would also hate His followers (you and me). We are sent to remind people that they are sinners and if they do not get their lives reconciled to God through a commitment to Jesus, they will be punished for their sins and separated from God for eternity.
The Scriptures call that place hell.
When you think about how raw and penetrating the good news about Jesus is, and how self-centered people are, wouldn't you be surprised if there was no resistance? Wouldn't you wonder if there was something wrong?
Truthfully, I am never surprised when people choose to live their lives on their own terms and reject the way of Jesus. It breaks my heart, but it doesn't catch me off guard. But sometimes, I meet people that hear about Jesus and gratefully embrace God's grace by choosing to follow Him. And that's why we continue to be the church in every area of our lives.
There is a very clear teaching of Jesus that we all should remember as we witness to those close to us – the way of the world is wide and leads to destruction and almost everyone chooses this way to live, but the way of Jesus is narrow and only a few will find it (paraphrase of Matthew 7:13-14).
What if you look healthy, but you're not?
March 16, 2010
Recently a very healthy looking man came up to me as he was leaving church. He told me that he wanted me to do his funeral. I said "sure", but did not expect that day to come for a long time. The problem with this man is that even though he looked perfectly healthy, but he was not! He had been diagnosed with terminal cancer! He looked like the picture of health! He showed no sign of sickness or fatigue. He still worked, but his days were numbered and they were short! Very shortly after that conversation, I visited him in hospice care and then conducted his funeral service.
I don't mean to be morbid, but I do want to make a comparison between that situation and the health of many churches. (Since this is kind of a church-like blog!)
Thomas Rainer, a church growth expert and author of several books and publications states that he has seen this countless times. His team would go into a church for a consultation, and would begin interviewing church members. They would hear from many of the congregants that their church was healthy and thriving. They began to see common warning signs. They would begin to conclude that the apparently healthy body was not really healthy at all.
The church was sick. Some of the churches were really sick. Here are five warning signs that his team saw in these apparently healthy churches. Though the list is not exhaustive, these five issues were common. Some of the churches had a one or two on the list; some had all five.
Five Warning Signs
1. The church has few outwardly focused ministries. Most of the budget dollars in the church are spent on the desires and comforts of church members. The ministry staff spends most of its time taking care of members, with little time to reach out and minister to the community the church is supposed to serve.
2. The dropout rate is increasing. Members are leaving for other churches in the community, or they are leaving the local church completely. A common exit interview theme we heard was a lack of deep biblical teaching and preaching in the church.

The Astounding Evidence For God's Existence: Cosmology/Astronomy
March 15, 2010
"Set aside the many competing explanations of the Big Bang; something made an entire cosmos out of nothing. It is this realization–that something transcendent started it all–which has hard-science types…using terms like 'miracle.' " – Gregg Easterbrook
"In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth." -Genesis 1:1. When we first open up our Bibles this is what we read but do we ever sit down and really think about what the implications of this verse means? Do we truly grasp how amazingly profound it is that a God existed before time began and decided to display His glory by creating a physical realm that we call the universe? Philosophers, scientists, and people across all ages, cultures, languages, and tribes have asked the question: where did we come from? Some say it was all by chance and the universe came out of nothing. Others say the universe is merely an illusion and none of this is real. Yet another explanation is that the universe is eternal and has always been here. We'll briefly look into why these three assumptions are false and why the cosmological argument makes logical sense.
The first illogical theory of the universe is that it's an illusion. Simple logic will dispute this argument. An illusion by definition is something that's deceptive, or unreal. If it's an illusion it's not really there, we can't correspond it to reality. Since we can touch, see, taste, smell, and hear the reality of the universe around us; this theory doesn't have any substance to it.
The second illogical theory of the universe is that it's eternal. Again by looking at the law of Thermodynamics we can see that this is false:
- 1st Law: The total amount of mass-energy in the universe is constant.
- 2nd Law: The amount of energy available for work is running out, or entropy is increasing to a maximum.
In a Rut?
March 11, 2010
The other day the fire department that I volunteer with was going through a driver training scenario to practice and develop a comfortable feel for the large trucks. Since it was dark out, we could only see the cones and they provided the direction we were to go. As we all drove, we followed the path that had been set by the driver who had gone before. Afterwards as we cleaned up the area and picked up the cones, we found in the asphalt parking two ruts that have the same foot print of our largest truck. We had created two divots around six to eight feet in length and two feet wide. One great thing: we all followed the same path; not so great: we followed the same path and with all of the moisture in the ground, we created ruts.
Throughout the Bible we read the different moments that we are to follow Christ. He has set an example for us as you can read in 1 Peter 2:21 "To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps." Oh how I desire to follow His example and live my life out loud for Him. The path, the rut, that we are following Him that has been traveled by those who have discipled us should not leave a ho-hum feeling with no excitement whatsoever. He has this ultimate power and love for us that we so often take for granted, He wants you to follow and lead. God desires not to be part of our lives but to be our life. Live that life for Him.

I guess my rabbit breeding program has started a little earlier than I expected.

Oh my, hahaha! Mmmm, rabbit stew anyone?ReplyDelete
Well they are rabbits :)ReplyDelete
Our bantams did that too - got away under the inaccessible flaxes and turned up with 18 chicks for one and 13 for the other. We had no problem finding homes as it turned out (except for the odd eaten rooster!)
Strangely enough, those flaxes were gone next season....
viv in dunedin
Sounds like my experience with gerbils many years ago. I bought one and the next day I had ten. I like to have never found homes for them all. I had no grandchildren at that time,and was working public work, so I really had no desire to have that many gerbils. Today, I might be willing to tackle the job.ReplyDelete
Funny. I say, "YAY FOR PROCREATING." I mean, you *are* a midwife, right?! ;-)ReplyDelete
They have been busy haven't they. Cute though? :)ReplyDelete

Bashaw residents rally around family who lost everything in suspicious fire at motel they've operated for years
A central Alberta community is still reeling from a fire that destroyed the home and business of a local family, leaving one person dead and others in hospital with serious burns.
In the absence of clear answers, the community is joining together to support them.
"I tried to (speak to him) but there's no answer from any of them," said Connor Wein, a close friend of Prabvir Tiwana, the youngest of two sons in the family that lived in and owned the Bashaw Motor Inn.
"They're good, they get along with everybody, everybody liked them. They helped out whenever they could," said Wein, who went to junior high and high school with Tiwana when the family first arrived in town about six years ago.
Fire crews were called to the motor inn early Sunday and found the building engulfed in flames. Three people who escaped the burning building were rushed to hospital. One has since been released while the other two were still being treated Tuesday. The unidentified body of one person was later found in the wreckage.
Police continued to treat the area as a crime scene Tuesday, but have released few details of their investigation. RCMP forensic teams could be seen sifting through the remains Tuesday, using heavy equipment to lift and photograph fallen walls.
An autopsy, initially slated for Tuesday afternoon, has been re-scheduled for Wednesday.
When asked if he could think of a reason for anyone to target the Tiwana family — including Prabvir, his older brother Rajvir and their parents — Wein was at a loss.
"I don't think they'd ever do anything to harm anyone," he said.
His father, Dale Wein, was equally stumped.
"The boys are very respectful," Dale said, recalling times he'd heard Prabvir admonish other kids his age for using foul language in front of girls at a party. "They're very well brought up."
"The four of them are a very, very tight-knit family," added Annette Wein, Connor's mother.
"We've had business dealings with the dad and both the boys and they seemed as honest as the day is long," said Marion Hartel, who works with the Weins at the Bashaw farm supplies store.
They said Prabvir is studying at the University of Lethbridge, playing for the school's basketball team with goals of becoming a doctor while his older brother Rajvir had already finished school. In the summer, they volunteered to run a basketball camp for local youth.
Their charitable acts are now being remembered by neighbours as they scramble to help the family.
A GoFundMe page inched closer to its $10,000 goal Tuesday while the local fire department accepted donations of food and money.
"The food bank drive was already set. We do it every year for fire prevention week," said Dorien Dejonge, a lieutenant with Bashaw Fire Department.
"Because this happened at the same time, we thought we'd try to raise some funds for the family, too, as they've lost everything, they've lost their home, their business, their belongings, they've lost everything that was theirs."
"The place is their home and their business. So we knew they would have nothing to continue," said Jackie Northey, who set up the GoFundMe page the morning after the fire.
"Businesses come and go, but in rural Alberta families are mostly entrepreneurs and they live where they work. So when we lose businesses we lose families, we lose youth and so there's always a greater loss than if it was just a business," Northey said. "My understanding is it will be a while for them to heal."
The identities of the victims have not been released. The RCMP continues to investigate.
Anyone wanting to donate can do so at the GoFundMe.com/TiwanaFamily or by bringing food and cash donations to the Bashaw Fire Hall.

With Zucchini being in season, I have been finding TONS of recipes for ways to use them up. This recipe was one I found at Rachel Ray's website: http://www.rachaelraymag.com/recipes/salad-vegetable-recipes/cheesy-zucchini-boats/article.html. While I didn't do more than read the recipe once, now that I look at it again, I realize it is almost the same! If you need ideas for weekly meals, you can sign up to get e-mail with a menu planner and shopping list from her website (http://www.rachelraymag.com/). While I haven't used these yet, I do get some good ideas for some dinners during the week.
Slice the zucchinis in half lengthwise. Place them in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 3 minutes, until the centers are slightly softened.
With a knife, cut into the zucchini, leaving about 1 cm of the "boat" skin. I made a guide line down the middle and at an angle on each side. With a spoon, gently scrape the flesh out and set aside (do not discard).
Blot the water out of the zucchini shells and place them on a greased pan.
Chop the zucchini flesh into smaller, 1/2″ pieces. A rough chop will do.
In a skillet, heat 1/2 tbsp of oil. Add the zucchini and cook down. Transfer the zucchini to a strainer and push out as much liquid as possible.
In a larger skillet, heat 1/2-1 tbsp oil. Add onion, zucchini, garlic, and any other desired seasonings (I used Mrs. Dash Table Blend). Cook until onions are tender. Turn off heat and add the sliced tomatoes. Set aside.
Turn the broiler on. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the filling mixture and stir well. Add the mixture to the zucchini boat shells. Top with shredded cheese.
Broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned. Serve warm with garlic toast and marinara sauce (if desired…I thought it was tasty!)
