Three Ways to Work Like Jesus.
Three Ways to Work Like Jesus.
Matthew 10:24-25
A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for the student to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household!
Jesus is teaching His twelve disciples (Matthew 10:1, 5), preparing them for the assignment He is sending them on. He knows the difficulties they are going to have. Jesus tells them to go about their assignment like He has been going about His.
Jesus is their Teacher and Lord. The disciples are to be like Him. Paul "got" this when he instructed the Corinthian believers, "Be imitators of me as I am of Christ." (1 Corinthians 11:1)
The lesson for us today is simple but impossible for us to do without the help of the Holy Spirit. We are to do our God-given assignments (husband, wife, father, mother, teacher, manager, friend, ambassador of Christ taking His message to those in our sphere of influence, etc.) just like Jesus would do them.
Reading through the New Testament instructs us how Jesus did His work.
Only three things I'll highlight here:
Are you doing your God-given assignment like Jesus would?
Jesus also wanted to protect the disciples from slander, name calling. He told them that some of those they were sent to would call them Beelzebul just as they called Him Beelzebul. Who is Beelzebul? He is the ruler or prince of demons (Matthew 12:24).
They tried to paint Jesus as a bad guy. Jesus tells His followers they will do the same to them. What are we to do when this happens? We are to remember who we are in Christ and what the Lord says about us.
Jesus didn't entrust Himself to people, but to God (John 2:24-25; 1 Peter 2:23).
Let's do the same.

Matthew 10:16-24
Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. 24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
Jesus prepares each of us for times of persecution.
In Matthew 24:10 Jesus looks into the future and instructs we who believe that a time will come when all nations will hate people who follow Him.
In our text today we are being taught what will happen when we are hated. We'll be handed over to the governing officials for punishment and death. Even our own family members will turn us in.
Jesus instructs us to remember our purpose when this happens. We are to bear witness of Jesus Christ so people might believe the gospel and escape the coming judgment for sin - eternal torment. He knows we will worry about what to say as a witness.
Jesus tells us not to worry. The Holy Spirit will speak through us in our weakness. We are to endure all that sinful man does to us right to the end of our lives knowing we will be saved.
When this persecution begins to happen it is okay to flee to escape the persecution. Note also that what happened to Jesus can happen to us. Jesus died to finish the work He was given to do. We need to be prepared to do the same.
The Apostle Paul left us an example to follow. Acts 20:24, "But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God."
The abundant life is not freedom from persecution and difficult times. The abundant life is having peace, joy, hope and love in the midst of the difficulties. Philippians 1:27-30 is a great word for us who are living in the last times.
"Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. 29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, 30 engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have."
May the Lord help us finish our assignment even in the midst of persecution and difficult times while living a life characterized by love, joy, peace and hope.

Endure to the End.
Endure to the End.
Matthew 10:16-24
Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. 24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
"Behold" is a word we do not use much anymore. It means, "Listen up." Jesus desires us to pay close attention to the instruction He is about to give. We need to take this instruction very seriously.
Notice where we are sent to work. We are sent to work among wolves. The howls of wolves strike fear into a person without weapons that is caught out in the open. We are sheep among wolves.
Since we are like sheep among wolves we need to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. The word wise means "to be prudent".
Prudent means to know the future results of our present actions (Proverbs 27:12).
The serpent thought through what his current actions would accomplish in the future when he tempted Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit in the Garden (Genesis 3:1). The same word is used of the unjust servant in Luke 16:8. He acted unjustly by decreasing what people owed his master so he would have their support in the future.
Jesus is commanding us to live now in a way that will accomplish our preferred future, to win as many to the Lord as we possibly can. We are to live innocent as doves. The word "innocent" means to be pure. Paul uses the word in Philippians 2:15 to describe what the Christian who doesn't complain in the midst of persecution will be like in a crooked and twisted (perverted) generation - "pure", "innocent".
As we go in among the wolves, people hostile towards Jesus Christ, we are to use every resource we have been given in Christ to win people to faith in Christ. We are to live lives free from habits of sin by faith in Christ so people get a clear picture of who Christ is by seeing how we live and what we do.
We are as equal to our assignment as a sheep is equal to living among wolves. Recognizing our weakness, we are to depend totally upon Jesus Christ as we go about completing what we are sent to do - seek and save the lost. We depend upon Jesus Christ by learning what He teaches us and living it out by faith in Him, that is, by attempting to obey Him relying upon Him to fulfill our attempt by His power.
Sheep plus Jesus are more powerful than a pack of wolves.
Compare how you are living with how Jesus is teaching us to live. Are there any changes or growth you need to make? Make them by using the divine power He has given.
We access the divine power by faith in the Son of God who loves us and gave himself up for us (Galatians 2:20).
Note: Begin making the changes now.

Are you living sent?
Are you living sent?
Matthew 10:5-15
These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay. 9 Acquire no gold nor silver nor copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff, for the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, greet it. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town."
Jesus sent the twelve to specific people, the lost sheep of Israel.
We know Jesus' purpose is to reach the world, every people group on earth (Matthew 28:19-20), but He sent these men to a particular segment of the people in the world. In John 17:18, 20 Jesus prayed, for the disciples with him and all those who would believe in Him in the future, that as the Father had sent Him into the world so He was sending them into the world. Each of us are sent by Jesus to a particular group of people to proclaim the good news and do the good works He prepared beforehand for us to do (Romans 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:10).
Who is your group of people?
Are you doing for them what Jesus sent you to do?
Jesus instructed the twelve concerning what they were to do. He gave them the power to do all He instructed them (Matthew 10:1) before He sent them out. Jesus has instructed us what we are to do among those He has sent us. He has given us the resources to do all He has instructed us to do (2 Peter 1:2-4; Ephesians 1:19-20; Ephesians 3:20; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 1:13-14).
Jesus provided a way for the twelve to be provided for materially without charging the people He sent them to reach with the good news and good works. Jesus provides for us to do the same. We don't charge people we seek to reach for Christ, we depend upon the Lord to provide what we need.
Are you doing what Jesus equipped you and sent you to do?
Ask Him to help you and He will (1 John 5:14-15). If we each do our part the whole world will be reached.
May you live sent.

Do you know your gifts of grace to give out?
Matthew 10:1-4
And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. 2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Jesus picked twelve men to be apostles to train and be founders of the Church (Mark 3:14; Ephesians 2:20). Those Jesus called He gave the capacity to do what they were called to do. The apostles were and are called to start churches. They have the capacity to cast out unclean spirits (demons), to heal every disease and affliction (weakness).
The Apostle Paul tells us that the signs of a true apostle are signs, wonders and mighty works. He instructs us that the apostle uses his gift for the sake of the believers' faith and knowledge of the truth (2 Corinthians 12:12; Titus 1:1). The true apostle preaches the true gospel. Signs and wonders without the true gospel reveal a false apostle (Deuteronomy 13:1-3; Revelation 2:2; Galatians 1:1:8). We know that the original twelve are not the only apostles, but that God gives apostles as gifts to build the Body of Christ as He desires (1 Corinthians 12:11, 28-29, Acts 14:14; Galatians 1:19). Those who call themselves apostles must be tested by the local church (Revelation 2:2).
We can learn a principle of how God works among us from this passage of Scripture. God first calls us to our assigned work and then equips us to do it. He calls His servants by name. Each of us who have become believers have been given gifts of grace to be used to build the Body of Christ (Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10; Ephesians 4:8b,11).
Are you using your gifts to build the Body of Christ? Do you know the work God has called and gifted you to do?
Ask God. If we ask anything according to His will, we know that we have what we ask (1 John 5:14-15). By the way, age has nothing to do with doing God's work. He assigns each of us work to do no matter what our age.
May you give out your gifts of grace.

Do you want to see a plentiful harvest?
Matthew 9:35-38
And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
Jesus diligently sought to do what He was sent to do. In Matthew 15:24 Jesus stated He was sent to the lost sheep of Israel. He went throughout all the cities and villages.
We need to ask ourselves the following question, "Do I know the people I was sent to?"
Jesus knew what He was to be doing as He went to the people He was sent to. He was to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom and heal every disease and affliction.
We need to ask ourselves, "Do I know what I am to be doing among the people I am sent to?"
Jesus saw the need of the people He was sent to.
Again let's ask ourselves, "Do I see the need of the people I have been sent to?"
Jesus saw He needed help to reach the people He was sent to and enlisted those around Him to pray asking the Lord to send laborers to meet the needs of the people.
One final question, "Am I asking God to send the help that is needed to meet the needs of the people I have been sent to?"
If you do not know the answers to the above questions, then we need to be asking the Lord to show us and to send the labors to get the needs met.
Don't quit asking until you get the answers you need.

Do you believe in demons?
Do you believe in demons?
Matthew 9:32-34
As they were going away, behold, a demon-oppressed man who was mute was brought to him. And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, "Never was anything like this seen in Israel." But the Pharisees said, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons."
What is a demon?
A demon is a created angel that rebelled against God after being created about 6200 years ago. Revelation 12:3-4,7-9 reveals to us that Satan and one third of the angels rebelled against God and were thrown down to earth to deceive and destroy people. The Apostle Paul tells us clearly that our battle is not against flesh and blood (people), but against the powers of darkness, Satan and his demons (Ephesians 6:12).
The Apostle Paul instructs us that people who are disobedient to God follow the prince of the power of the air, the spirit at work in them (Ephesians 2:1-3). The prince of the power of the air refers to the devil and his demons. In 2 Corinthians 4:4 we are told that Satan, the god of this world blinds the minds of unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel in the face of Christ.
What can demons do to humans?
In Matthew 9:32-33 the demon was able to keep a man from talking. In Luke 8:26-29 we are told that the demons caused a man to live among the tombs naked and to have enough strength to break chains he was bound with. Satan bound a woman with a disabling spirit for eighteen years causing her to be bent over unable to straighten herself (Luke 13:11,16). Demons were able to cause a boy to have convulsions and throw himself to the ground (Luke 9:39,42).
Satan is able to move people to attack and kill people, cause natural disasters and take a person's health away (Job 1:13-20; 2:4-7). Satan is able to speak untruth into our minds according to 2 Corinthians 2:11. The Greek word translated "designs" or "schemes" means "concepts of the mind".
Our passage shows us Jesus has power over Satan and demons:
Religious leaders attribute the acts of Jesus to Satan. The Jewish religious leaders were called children of the devil by Jesus (John 8:44).
We, as believers in Jesus, need to remember who our battle is against. We forget way to easily. We battle Satan and demons who at times work through people. We do not battle against people.
We need to remember how to win the war against the devil and his unclean spirits (demons). We win the war by living according to the truth by faith in the Son of God.
If you answer, "Yes", to those questions, then you will win the war against Satan. If you answer, "No", then you are being defeated by Satan.
With Jesus you have power over demons and satan.

Do you need a miracle?
Do you need a miracle?
Matthew 9:27-31
And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David." 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord." 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, "See that no one knows about it." 31 But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
Please notice the two blind men.
What were they doing?
They were following Jesus and loudly making their need known to Jesus. They were asking for mercy.
What is mercy?
Mercy is to be greatly concerned about someone in need. The blind men were probably saying, "Jesus we are blind and want you to be so concerned about our blindness that you use your power to make us see."
What was Jesus' response?
He asked the men if they believed or had faith that He could make them see. They responded in faith believing Jesus could make them see.
Jesus touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith be it done to you." The blind men could see. Jesus had mercy upon them. Jesus was sent by His Father to heal the blind, do miracles and free people from demonic control (Luke 4:18-19).
We ask the question, "Why doesn't Jesus heal the blind and do miracles today?"
Why did Jesus sternly warn the blind men not to tell anyone?
Jesus came to preach in many towns and did not want to be hindered by crowds of people from going to the other towns (read Mark 1:35-39).
What is the Lord saying to us through this passage of Scripture?
If we have a need we are to bring it to Jesus knowing Jesus cares about our need. We need to believe that Jesus will help us. Since Jesus ascended back to the throne of God, we come to Jesus by means of prayer.
Hebrews 4:16, "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Whatever we ask according to His will, we know we have what we asked if we ask in faith (1 John 5:14-15; James 1:6). A prayer that is according to Jesus' will is recorded in Mark 1:24, "I believe; help my unbelief!" We know what God's will is by reading the Word of God.
It is God's will to help us in our time of need. Whatever your need, go to God in prayer. He will have mercy on you and give grace (His resources) to help you in your time of need, Hebrews 4:16.
What is your need now?
Ask God for help. Look for God's help. It is coming!

Look to Jesus.
Look to Jesus.
Matthew 9:18-26
While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." 19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 20 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, 21 for she said to herself, "If I only touch his garment, I will be made well." 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well. 23 And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. 25 But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the report of this went through all that district.
Matthew 8:17, "This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases." As we read about Jesus healing people we need to remember this was to fulfill Isaiah 53:4 and prove He was the suffering Savior who died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. He came to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).
We can learn a lesson from the ruler and the woman with the discharge of blood. They had problems no man could solve. They took their problems to Jesus.
We need to exercise the same type of faith. When we have a problem people cannot solve, we need to go directly to Jesus. He will always help us.
We need to exercise caution and not dictate how He should help us, but leave the solution to Jesus. He will solve the problem in a way that will bring Himself the most glory and increase our faith. He will always give us the strength and peace to abide by His solution.
John 11:5-6,14-15 teaches us a great lesson. Jesus heard His friend Lazarus was sick and waited two extra days before going to him. In that period of time Lazarus died and Jesus said for the sake of His disciples He was glad He was not there.
He wanted the disciples to believe. As we read on in the story about Lazarus, we find that the family did not understand why Jesus delayed. Jesus' delay allowed Him to do something greater.
When we come to Jesus in faith and He does not act in accordance with our thinking, He has not forsaken us, but is doing something greater.
When my son was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, I told him that God was able to heal him and we should ask for God to heal him. I also told my son that God may decide he would bear more fruit and bring more glory to God by living with Cystic Fibrosis. Our Lord will always work in our best interests to produce faith in us and for His glory.
Bring all your problems to Jesus. Call upon Him in your time of trouble and He will help you.
May you go to Jesus today.

How to be Humble.
How to be Humble.
Matthew 9:14-17
Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" 15 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made. 17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.
The practice of the Pharisees was to fast twice a week (Luke 18:12). The fast was meant to be a way of humbling oneself before God for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). The Pharisees fasted for all people to see how righteous they were.
However, the Pharisees did not fast to humble themselves before God. Jesus rebuked the practice of the Pharisees and told them to not let people see they were fasting and to truly fast to humble themselves before God (Matthew 5:16-18).
In the Old Testament there was one day a year only that God instructed the people to fast, the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27). There were also other times of fasting to gain God's help.
Joel, the prophet, called his people to fast as a way of humbling themselves before God in the face of impending judgment (Joel 1:14; 2:15). Ezra proclaimed a fast to humble the returning exiles before God to gain His favor and protection (Ezra 8:21). Esther proclaimed a fast to humble the Jews before to gain His favor as she went in to the king to make a request to save the Jewish nation (Esther 4:16). The Jews in exile practiced fasting in the 4th, 5th, 7th, and 10th month to humble themselves before God so He would return them to the Promised Land.
God spoke through Isaiah to tell His people an external fast without internal obedience is not humbling oneself Isaiah 58:3-6). Fasting was merely a way to humble oneself before God to gain His grace to help in times of need.
Jesus said that since He was present with the disciples, they did not need to fast, but rather to feast since He was with them. He said they would fast when He was taken away by His death on the cross and before He came to dwell in them on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ was poured out on the people who believed in Him. In Matthew 28:20 Jesus said He would be with us until the end of the age. Romans 8:9-11 and Colossians 1:27 are two places that inform us Christ is in us and thus with us.
Jesus told us that since He died on the cross, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and came to live in us that old practices would change. We relate to God in new ways in the New Covenant God has with us in Christ. We don't offer animal sacrifices, but spiritual sacrifices (Hebrews 13:15-16).
We don't fast to humble ourselves, we acknowledge our dependence upon God and obey Him by faith in Jesus. The Apostle Paul explains this new way of serving God in Christ in Romans 14. What counts now is loving God and people. John explains how we express this love in 1 John 5:2-3. We are able to do this by grace through faith (2 Corinthians 12:9; Galatians 2:20).
So how about you? Are you seeking to humble yourself before God by external means only or are you acknowledging your dependence upon the Lord by obeying Him by grace through faith?
We have received grace to be pardoned from the penalty of sin and grace to be free from slavery to sin. We access this grace in our daily living by faith in Jesus. We attempt to obey Him and He fulfills our attempt with His power.

A Note on Self-Care
Self-care is essential in recharging our spiritual batteries. It can come in the form of alone time, journaling, or any activity that you find soothing. But how can you tell if your energy is getting low and it's time to rejuvenate?
When Your Self-Confidence is Low
No one is perfect. That's pretty universal, but when you began to compare yourself to your favorite social media personalities or self-deprecating has become a staple in your
speech, it's time for self-care. Confidence requires daily upkeep. What was uplifting yesterday may become detrimental today, so remember that it's always okay to step away from society's demands and give yourself a confidence boost. How? Well that's up to you.
When You're Feeling Uninspired
Burn-out is a bummer. Ideas can be hard to come by at work and activities that you love have completely lost luster. It's almost as if a dense fog has descended and you just don't want to do anything. It's time for self-care. Explore something new or journal, but allow yourself time to be selfish and climb out of your funk. Keep in mind, that self-care is at your own pace, so don't feel rushed to spring back so fast.

About Me
I'm in my eighteenth year of teaching--sixteen at Novi High School in Novi, MI, one at Southfield Lathrup High School and one at The American Community Schools of Athens, Greece. I've taught everything from Spanish to Debate to Creative Writing to Public Speaking to English 9, 10,,...I could do this all day. Currently, I teach AP Seminar, a team-taught class called The Incubator with Computer Science and Business teachers, and I spend two hours of my day doing MTSS writing and reading support with students who need a little more help to be successful in the regular ed curriculum.
I come from a long line of teachers. My mom taught for 30 years, my grandpa taught for 40 years, and I have countless aunts and uncles also in the family business. I grew up as the kid of a woman who was committed to the learning of her other "kids" , and I was surrounded by people who were constantly talking about and planning new things they could try in their classrooms.
Today, as a teacher and a parent, I'm doing the same balancing act. My biological kids know that sometimes mom plays Legos with one hand and grades essays with another, and my kids at school know that sometimes those essays come back graded with special 6 year old crayon artwork on the back because my daughter was "helping" me grade.
I feel fortunate to have a career that I love and a chance to to work with all of these special, interesting, hilarious kids everyday.

Josiah Finklea's Testimony
My name is Josiah Finklea, and I was raised in a Christian family that was very involved in church. When I was young I loved God, but never truly followed His ways. As I got older I went my own way, leaving God in the dust.
I started focusing on dark things, which left me angry and eventually depressed. I was caught in a cycle of anger and depression that swirled around me. My family was caught in my cyclone of ugliness. I lived a double life, being outgoing and kind at church, while at home being my family's worst nightmare. My parents gave me many chances to change, but I always threw it back in their faces. This carried on for many years.
About a year ago I started following God, but after a while I started spending less and less time with God, and more and more time with my iPad. Once again, I poured negative things into my life and became angry and depressed.
Recently my mother confronted me, telling me I was living a lie and that I was going to go to Hell. I realized something—she was right! After that Pastor Nic preached a sermon that was hitting me like a bat hitting a ball. I knew my heart was ugly and self-centered and I was far from God. I knew I would be roasting in Hell if I didn't change. I knew I needed to make a serious change, because the negative things in my life were controlling me. Jesus needed to be the LORD of my life!
So here I am. I have turned from darkness to God's truth. I gave my iPad to my parents (my mother took great joy rendering it inoperable), and I am seeking positive input while looking forward to a new life with God at the center. A life with joy not depression, love not anger, and the power of life in Christ instead of being paralyzed in fear and darkness.

This weeks DAWGTALK TOPIC OF THE WEEK is all about - knowing your dog!
This is an extremely interesting and important topic of discussion that is often times overlooked, neglected or even misinterpreted by the general population of dog owners and trainers. Thus resulting in humans choosing the inappropriate canine for their family and lifestyle which in turn can result in an array of behavioral issues, a lack of understanding and a poor lifestyle for all. Knowing and understanding your dog, (personality, breed, strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes etc..) is of utmost importance for a strong, solid relationship with your beloved canine companion.
Just like humans, all dogs are individuals with different unique qualities and traits, all making up who they are, or aren't! Even dogs of the same age, breed, genetic make-up and bloodline will typically have different personality traits, energy levels, strengths , weaknesses etc.. - and this is why it is super important to evaluate your lifestyle and what you're truly looking for in a canine companion as well as doing your research on specific dog breeds!
Truly knowing who your dog is will not only help you tap into their natural instincts as an animal, but will also give you a better blueprint on how to communicate, train and fulfill your dogs individual needs, thus resulting in a strong, human canine bond which , (in my opinion) should be at the top of your list of goals for you and your dog !
Dogs were originally bred to work alongside humans to perform specific jobs and tasks. That being said , almost every single breed is designed (physically and mentally) to excel in certain areas of work and ultimately all breeds crave leadership and a willingness to please humans. This is where the famous saying "Mans best friend" came about, and it couldn't be more appropriate.
Over time, the need for "working dogs" has slowly diminished to a select few that we typically see now a days - such as Police K9's , Service Dogs and Therapy Dogs. In today's day and age , Dogs are much more family pets which has it's advantages and disadvantages when bringing a new "pet" into your home. Though many of the breed standards have shifted and evolved , there are still many canines out there with working lines or close to it that desperately crave to do a job or sport.
n - a stock of animals or plants within a species having a distinctive appearance, genetic make-up and typically having been developed by deliberate selection.
How many of you actually know your dogs breed and what that breed was originally designed for ? Lets take a look ! Click HERE to search your dogs breed and read a little bit about the history of the breed, the breed standard, their general personality traits and which areas they are known for excelling !
When looking to add a new pet to your home , there are a few things to consider before choosing . How active is your lifestyle ? How many hours out of the day are you home ? Do you have kids ? Other animals? Do you live in an apartment or on 10 acres of land? Do you have visitors over regularly ? Are you looking for a hiking buddy or a snuggle buddy ? Obviously, there are many more areas to look into but these are just a few generalized areas to consider.
EXAMPLE #1: John is 25 years old, lives in Upstate New York with the Adirondack Mountains as his backyard. He gets up every morning at 6am , throws his running shoes on and hits the trail for a nice long run or hike to start his day. John works from home and only leaves the house to head out into nature (hiking, camping) or to visit friends and family at their lake-house nearby ,where he participates in swimming, boating , volleyball matches and any fun , outdoor activity. John is looking for a canine companion and he really likes the English Bulldog, he thinks they are so cute, wrinkly and entertaining and he has always wanted one (and they totally are) But , what John doesn't know is that the bulldog is extremely heat sensitive, exercise sensitive , known to have health issues directly related to heat and exercise and generally they are pretty lazy and low-key., unlike John. This breed may be very cute, but they are not meant for the extremely active , go-go lifestyle that John lives. So, What would be a better choice for John? There are many breeds that will fit Johns lifestyle but just to narrow it down, Lets take a look at the Labrador Retriever. This breed of dog is known for their higher activity level, adventurous nature, love for the water, a high drive to play, a coat of fur that is adaptable to variations in weather - and a very friendly nature . These characteristics and traits will be a better match for John's lifestyle (running, hiking, swimming, camping) because the needs of the dog will be met organically, which will create an understanding , balanced , strong relationship between John and his new pal for years to come!
EXAMPLE #2: Becky and Bill are a recently retired 60 year old couple living in a small ranch in a wonderful little neighborhood . Becky really enjoys knitting, reading and gardening. Bill enjoys short walks to the park to find a nice shady spot to read the newspaper. Becky and Bill have recently been looking for a canine companion and their dream has always been to get the infamous Golden Retriever , since they are so well known for their friendly nature and devoted personality. What Becky and Bill don't know is that Golden Retrievers will need MUCH more than a small walk to the park or an afternoon watching mom read. They are very active dogs with a history of retrieving hunted game - they will need daily physical exercise as well as a mental game or challenge (fetch, Frisbee etc..) A Golden Retriever would not thrive in a home and lifestyle such as this and in return there will be an imbalance in fulfilling the dogs specific needs thus resulting in your couch torn apart and visitors being knocked over by your 70lb out of control dog (for example). So, a better choice for this couple ? Well, Remember the lazy, low-key, goofy Bulldog from Example #1 ? Bingo ! The Bulldog is more than happy to snuggle at your feet while you read a book or knit and enjoy short walks to the park to hang under a shade tree. This would be the more appropriate choice for this family , resulting in a happy, strong relationship of fulfillment.
So, a lot of you are probably looking at your adorable, unique dog that you so generously rescued from your local animal shelter whom could possibly be a number of different breeds all blended together and thinking "hmmm which breed do I search for?!, What does my dog need or crave?!" This is where it can get a little tricky BUT you can still get to know your dog just as well as if you got him/her from a reputable breeder, and it's extremely rewarding at the same time. If you've already rescued a dog and you are having challenges in your communication process or if you are unsure your dogs needs are being fulfilled, take a step back and think a little more into things. Does your dog seem to have a natural ability to catch a Frisbee mid air ? You may have an awesome agility or sport dog partner on your hands ! Does your dog completely ignore you when outside with his/her nose constantly on the ground ? Your dog may have natural hound instincts and could make a great Search and Rescue Dog ! These are obviously very generalized topics, but my main point here is , don't entirely try to change or "fix" your dog and their problem areas without tuning in and getting to know them entirely first . So instead of becoming frustrated at your beagle for ignoring your "come" command when it's time to come inside , implement some more scent games for your dog into his/her daily routine to engage in with you to create a positive outlet for his/her natural instincts which will , simultaneously, build your relationship one day at a time , leading to clearer communication and a better foundation to tackle the problematic areas that need improving .
If you've yet to adopt a dog but are thinking about heading to your local shelter, there are a few tips and things to consider to set you up for success. Upon going to the shelter to rescue a dog, you should absolutely evaluate and take into consideration the above topics (your lifestyle, activity level, work day etc..) When you arrive at the Shelter , there will be a canine behaviorist and elevator to guide you through your meet and greet process ( most shelters) with potential adoptable dogs. It is of utmost importance to be 100% honest and to give the canine behaviorists detailed information about your lifestyle, as this will determine the dogs they bring you to meet. It is also super important not to impulsively choose the first dog you meet , or the dog that you feel so incredibly bad for because of the horrific backstory you were told about neglect and abuse , this happens far too often and many dogs end up in the wrong hands due to initial guilt and poor human emotion and judgement at the shelter. Ultimately, you may not know the dogs exact breed, but , the canine behaviorists on duty (most times) will carefully get to know each dog that comes into the shelter (energy level, temperament, health concerns, tolerance to kids, dogs, cats etc..) which will determine the overall individual personality of the dog to match you and your lifestyle !
After you get to know your dog, there are a vast array of hobbies, sports and fun activities to choose from for you and your dog to add into your daily or weekly routine to keep your relationship fun, engaging and to fulfill the needs of your particular dog ! Below are a few activities with links describing each individual job, task or sport. Check them out ! Remember, not every dog is cut out for specific sports and hobbies so be sure to have an experienced professional evaluate your dog to choose the correct sport or hobby that will be the best fit!

Jake's Bar and Grill
This is my personal favorite bar in the city. When you walk in, the inside is dark and it gives the appearance of a local dive bar. However, the back porch is awesome.They have a lot of t.v.'s outside and are usually willing to change the channel to accommodate out-of-towners. I highly recommend this place during the warmer months. The crowd is mainly college and young professional. Inside the bar there are a variety of pool tables as well as other various bar games.

Day: 163
Date: Tuesday, 03 October 2017
Start: Camped by the trail at Mile 1217.2, 6550 ft
Finish: Camped by the trail at Mile 1243.1, 4970 ft
Daily Miles: 25.9 PCT
Total PCT Miles: 2563.7
Weather: Cool, sunny and breezy
Accommodation: Tent
Breakfast: Pop tarts
Lunch: Gorp
Dinner: Rehydrated beef stroganoff with noodles
Aches: Feet very tired, but left ankle not so bad
Highlight: Encountering the first notable autumn foliage at lower altitudes this evening, reminding me of how long I have been on the trail.
Lowlight: About 15 minutes after I began hiking this morning, while it was still dark and I was relying on my headlamp, I encountered a very large tree that had fallen across the track and brought down some other trees with it. I tried to follow where other people had worked their way around the debris, but was soon crashing around in the wiry and thorny scrub on a steep hillside unable to find the trail again. Eventually, using my GPS I worked out which direction I should head to rejoin the trail, which I did a few minutes later, sporting a number of new cuts and abrasions, and having wasted 20-30 minutes.

Position: Click here.
Map: Click here for Google Map
After my late night, I wasn't up quite as early as planned and started hiking about 6:00am. It was still dark and quite cold, and I could have done without the time lost finding my way around a fallen tree (see above). However, after that little adventure, the rest of the day was relatively easy and uneventful hiking, with the trail staying between 5000 ft and 7500 ft. Most of the time I was in forest, but in a couple of places the trail followed the top of treeless ridges which gave good views.
The grades on the trail were good all day, and it was mostly soft underfoot, helping me make good time. I reached my target for the day, a trail junction, soon after 6:00pm, and told myself I would stop at the first flat tentsite I saw. The trail continued along the side of a ridge, and it was 6:40pm before I found somewhere flat enough for my tent. I set up camp quickly in what daylight was left, happy with my day's effort. I now have just over 22 miles to Bucks Lake Road along which I will hitchhike the 15 miles to Quincy, my final resupply town, where I have booked two nights in a motel so I can have Thursday off. With luck, I will get to the road around 5pm.

By Christopher Orozco, Team Member Relations Manager
I have two questions for you. First, what's that one thing you've always wanted to do? Second, why aren't you doing it? Maybe you have a list of several things you've always wanted to do. Even better. With those thoughts in your mind, I'll offer you this; the world needs your talent. The world needs what you have to offer.
I have dreams, just like you. And everything worth doing always started with a simple thought. A desire to do something that's worthwhile and has meaning. Our thoughts have the power to create, but we should be mindful that our thoughts can either work with us or against us. We can choose to be unrelenting as we work towards what we want the most, or we can choose to let our thoughts hold us back. In the case of the latter, we're choosing fear.
See Purpose in Desire.
Fear can sometimes be overwhelming; I've known that feeling well. But it's in how we choose to respond to that fear that will be the deciding factor in creating a future of our own design. When fear starts to sink in, we can think back to our initial desire to do what we're working to achieve. More importantly, we should remember why we want to achieve what we're working on. Rediscovering that purpose can be the spark that helps you break through any level of fear that attempts to keep you from pushing forward. The desire to create meaning for others, and to help change lives for the better, can be the catalyst that helps us be relentless in pursuing our dreams. Never forget why you're doing what you're doing, and never forget the impact you can create through your talent.
Have Faith in Your Vision.
Faith is the enemy of fear. There's simply no competition there. As overwhelming as fear can feel sometimes, faith is an unrelenting ally in overcoming that adversity. And from adversity, we can find we're stronger than we ever were. This relates to remembering the purpose in what you desire to achieve. See where you want to be, and never lose sight of why you want to be there. The faith and love from our family and friends can also be so powerful, and keep us on track as we push forward. One of the greatest pieces of wisdom ever given to me was to know my value. And I encourage you to know your value. When we truly understand our value, and everything we have to offer this world, we're provided with the confidence to work towards making dreams a reality. We then understand what we're capable of. Have faith in your vision, and be confident in knowing you're working on something for the right reasons. Don't settle for the confines of your comfort zone. And in the spirit of that courage, ask yourself, why not me?
Action, Every Day.
Good intentions are a good start, but they are not where positive impact takes place. That calls for us to take action, every single day. You've already discovered the desire to do something meaningful, and faith in your value and abilities will give you the confidence to move forward, but our actions will always speak louder than anything else. These do not have to be grand gestures on a daily basis; they can be small steps towards doing something positive to make an impact in the world. A great friend once gave me some of the greatest advice, and yet it's so simple; do the work. When we want something, do the work. And while you're doing that work, have the courage to be fearless in creating your own path. This world is so diverse, and there's so much opportunity to do things differently. Never settle for things as they are. Don't be afraid to revolutionize the way things are done.
So, again, I ask what's that one thing you've always wanted to do? And I ask you, why aren't you doing it? There are lives out there searching for a voice to help them break through their own barriers. We can be that voice. There are lives out there looking for inspiration to move forward towards their own goals. We can be that inspiration. There are so many things needing to be changed for the better. We can be that change.
Why not us?

2019 Defense Stats
2019 Defense Projections
2019 Fantasy Outlook
The past couple seasons were oddly quiet for Norman, who came to Washington with a reputation as a big-play gambler with a brash personality. He hasn't quite been the dominant force the team was hoping for when it signed him to a five-year, $75 contract, but he's at least been good enough to avoid negative attention, finishing 2018 with three interceptions and three forced fumbles. While he may not be a dominant cover man, the 31-year-old cornerback doesn't have any glaring holes in his game and remains a crucial part of the Washington defense. Norman will look to make it five straight years with at least 56 tackles and multiple forced fumbles. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a five-year, $75 million contract with the Redskins in April of 2016.
No lock to stay in D.C.
Norman isn't a lock to remain with Washington for 2019, Matthew Paras of The Washington Times reports.
The Redskins can free up $11.5 million in 2019 cap space if Norman is designated as a post-June 1 release. Of course, the team would then have a glaring hole to fill at cornerback, without any obvious in-house options to replace a player who had 64 tackles (40 solo), three interceptions, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery while starting all 16 games in 2018. The 31-year-old may not be a dominant cover man at this stage of his career, but he's still one of the better players on a middling roster with a cap hit that's right around the new norm for high-end cornerbacks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
Contrary to popular opinion, Norman hasn't been asked to consistently shadow a team's No. 1 receiver in Washington, and he's even been exposed by some of the league's top athletes in recent seasons, starting with Odell Beckham and A.J. Green. It's consequently not a stretch to say he isn't living up to his status of being the league's highest-paid cornerback. However, there's no denying that Norman has handled a heavy workload for the Redskins over the past two seasons, nor that he can make quick work out of any non-elite wideout that may come his way. This has seemingly prevented quarterbacks from passing in Norman's direction very often, which played a role in him failing to log a single interception in 2017. With that said, he's averaging 65.5 tackles per season in the nation's capital and recorded at least two picks in each of the past three seasons, so we don't expect him to lay a goose egg in that category for a second consecutive season.
After making a name for himself in Carolina, Norman's first season in the nation's capital was relatively quiet. His 67 tackles, 19 passes defensed, three interceptions and two forced fumbles were eerily similar to his numbers from his breakout 2015 campaign. However, the first handful of games last season Norman did not shadow the opposing team's best receiver, something that he is fully expected to do in 2017. No matter where he is on the field, Norman consistently manages to make plays and there's no reason to believe that trend will change this season.
Norman projects as a true shutdown corner in defensive coordinator Joe Barry's Cover-3 defense and joins a pass defense sporting the likes of Ryan Kerrigan, Junior Gallette and Preston Smith on the front end as well as Bashaud Breeland, DeAngelo Hall and David Bruton in the secondary. In 2015, Norman amassed 56 total tackles, 18 passes defensed, three forced fumbles and four interceptions, where two of which went for touchdowns. However, Norman may be hard-pressed to replicate those numbers he posted in Carolina that saw him finish as the 19th-ranked fantasy defensive back in standard IDP scoring, particularly in the touchdown and forced fumble categories, and his decision to take a side gig as a television analyst can only affect his focus and productivity in a negative way. Norman will need a lot of things to break right to once again post top-20 fantasy numbers at his position in 2016.
After an impressive rookie season and subsequent sophomore slump, Norman resurfaced as a more consistent figure last year. In totaling 48 tackles and two interceptions, Norman started 10 of his 14 games played and is expected to occupy a starting cornerback position once again this season.
Following a 12-start rookie year, Norman appeared in just seven games last season, making zero starts. He'll compete for playing time this season, likely serving as a reserve at cornerback while featuring on special teams.
Norman was really thrown into the action after Chris Gamble was placed on IR with a shoulder injury following Week 7. The rookie started 12 games for the Panthers and held up fairly well, likely solidifying him as at least the team's third cornerback next season.
Will provide depth in the defensive backfield.

A Standard Serving of Financial Data
Ninth Wave breaks down data barriers across divisions and systems by seamlessly spanning checking and savings accounts, bill pay and 401k's, large financial institutions and Fintech startups, minimizing the complexity of sourcing and delivering financial data through a universal standard.
It's a new day for financial data.

Our Story
There is a big difference in the world of finance between the data universe and universal data. The former comes with a deadbolt. The latter, a key.

The day after Christmas, I walked out of the spa with an asymmetrical bob, ready to start a new year. The weather was a little chilly, but the sun was shining. I waved to three older ladies parked on my left, and they waved back and smiled warmly. I put my car in reserve and started pulling out a couple inches away from the wall. I was pretty close to a silver truck in front of me, but I didn't give it a second thought. My car has a pretty short front. The first few times seeing your car being so close to another was nerve-cracking, but it became nothing after a while.
And then, crash.
My first thought was that I can't believe the three sweet ladies are witnessing this. I hoped they're okay. I hoped they aren't scared by it. My second thought was: drive away. No one would notice. I looked back and double-checked there was no damage on the back of the truck. Trucks are strong, they should be okay.
Google says that an average person gets into three car accidents in their life. Hitting a parked car probably doesn't even count. Of course getting into an accident is always a possibility no matter how careful you are, but I never thought it would happen to me. Or at least, not this early.
I'm seventeen and I got into my first car crash.
I remained ridiculously calm for the rest of the afternoon. I even went back to the library and finished a YA novel about college rejection (We Regret to Inform You). I seriously considered not telling anyone, which was totally what I would do a year ago. But in the end, I decided to talk to my host family, because we have a foundation of trust and I don't want to hide anything from them. Also, one year away from being an adult, I should take responsibility for my own action.
But things only get worse.
When I came home from working out the next day, I couldn't open my passenger door. As unobservant as I was, I didn't realize that there was a crack on my car front until then. Because we planned to meet someone for lunch, I got into the shower and started panicking. What should I do? I regret not leaving a phone number on their car. What if there is some damage done on the truck and I just missed it?
After telling my host parents, they called the hair salon and asked if they heard anything about it. They promised they will tell us if they anything new arises. I wouldn't want the other car owner to pay for any damage to their car. My host dad told me that it probably costs a couple thousand dollars to fix my car.
But I'm glad I handled the situation maturely (and didn't have an anxiety attack). The other day I was texting my friend and she said she was proud of me for doing the cool adult thing because so many people would just pretend that it doesn't happen and not pay the other car owner's repair bill.
Of course, I hope this never happened, but any incident can be a potential a life lesson. I'm grateful that it happened when I'm seventeen instead of twenty-one because this experience would be so much scarier if I'm doing this alone.
Thank you for reading this post! I hope what happened to me won't ever happen to you guys. Have you ever been in a car accident?

The death toll from powerful storms sweeping across south-central America is rising.
At least 18 people have been killed as tornados wiped out entire neighbourhoods in Arkansas.
Winds ripped houses off their foundations and flipped cars on top of the rubble in the small town of Vilonia in central Arkansas.
The fatalities are the first of this year's tornado season. At least one person was killed in neighbouring Oklahoma.
Rescuers and homeowners continue digging through rubble.
Scott Barrier, a Vilonia resident said: "It took all of our trees. We had a big motor home and moved it into the house, busted out the windows."
The severe storm system continues pushing its way across the country. People living in the Midwest and South bracing themselves for severe hail, high winds and tornados.


text: ANNUAL REPORT 2016 The annual report 2016 of the Brussels Commissioner's Office presents a detailed description and deep analysis of the policy carried out since 1st January 2015. It also covers the achievements of 2016 and touches on the outlook for 2017. Belgian tax return: how does it work? During the month of May, Belgian tax authorities send out the tax return forms in brown envelopes, to all tax payers. Depending on your situation, filling in these returns can be quite complicated! Below are some guidelines from the Expat Welcome Desk. The 2017-2018 edition of Expats in Brussels is available now! Are you living or working in Brussels? Or are you planning to do so? The new Expats in Brussels Guide, edition 2017-2018 is available now! Legal guarantee: what are your rights? Have you bought a TV, a fridge... which doesn't work correctly? Contact the seller quickly and use the legal guarantee that covers all consumer goods. Below, the Expat Welcome Desk explains the usefulness of this legal guarantee. Buying a property: where to start? Legislations and practices involving property acquisition differ from country to country. In Belgium, negotiations between seller and buyer are of great importance. It is therefore advisable to collect all the essential information before committing to the purchase. The Expat Welcome Desk provides you some tips. Several changes come into effect in 2017! Since 1st January several changes have taken place in various areas of Brussels life: the registration of residential tenancy contracts; the level of penal fines; the maternity leave for self-employed women; a BE HOME rebate; and the procedures for household garbage collection. New rules for sorting your garbage! From January pay attention to your garbage collection because the days and schedules are going to change. And there's another change: a new orange bag for organic waste. The Expat Welcome Desk summarises the important points below. Car accident? Practical advice A road accident can be a frightening experience and you may find it difficult to stay calm. Being an expat in Brussels and perhaps not fluent in the local language only adds to the problem. But it is important that you try to keep a clear head and follow the right procedure… How to obtain permanent residency If you have been living in Belgium for a number of years and intend to stay living here for a long time or you want to acquire Belgian citizenship, it may be time for you to go down to the "commune" and apply for a permanent residency permit. Le Quartier européen sera mieux desservi à partir du 11 décembre ! Comme chaque année, la SNCB adapte son service de trains le second dimanche de décembre, en parallèle avec l'ensemble des pays européens. En décembre 2016, c'est principalement l'offre liée à la desserte suburbaine autour de Bruxelles qui est élargie. When do you have to register with the commune? Registering with a municipality is always a compulsory formality for newcomers; furthermore, it must be done within a fixed period of time, depending on the duration of your stay. An administrative detail? Not really, because if you do not respect this time period, you risk certain penalties. The Expat Welcome Desk explains. How to run a tourist accommodation in Brussels Would you like to rent out your apartment or part of it, either independently or via a site such as Airbnb? A new regulation in Brussels stipulates that all tourist accommodation must be registered beforehand and monitored.


text: The line up for the 3rd round of the 2008 Dresden Olympiad has been publish . Surprisingly German decide to play their 1st board GM Arkadij Naidtsch (FIDE 2678) and rest Igor Khenkin. Malaysia on the other hand decide to field experience FM Mok Tze Meng and IM Jimmy Liew on board 3 and 4 and rest the young padawan - NM Edward Lee . Probably the strategy is the experience player ( Mok and Jimmy) would play solidly and pick a draw. I personally would prefer NM Edward Lee to give him chance to compete with top ellite player but in team events every single ( or half ) points is important!

Much like other house enhancement jobs, getting a roof replaced can price a lot of money. It is possible to consider a "roof over", therefore you can place new shingles throughout the old ones. Nevertheless, it could cause a complete lot of possible dilemmas down the road. Listed below are 10 suggestions to help you create the right decision when changing your roof.
1. Measure your roof size
You will get a roofing contractor gauge the roof. They will present an estimate based on the size of the roof. Additionally you need to realize the word square, that is the quantity of material necessary for covering one hundred square feet.
2. Ventilation
Ventilation is an issue that produces your roof stay longer. Consequently, we declare that you make sure that your roof has ventilation that is proper. It will help you get a grip on the heat associated with the rooms in summer. In addition to this, proper air flow will help you avoid dampness in wintertime.
3. think about the shingles
Your work is not just to remove the shingles that are old. It's also advisable to repair the underlying timber. Your specialist should address these problems into the repair agreement you will signal. It isn't smart to place new shingles throughout the old timber as this could reduce the life span regarding the roof that is new.
4. Protective coverings
You should not obtain the shingles affixed straight to the wood associated with roof. What you need to do is choose the barriers that are protective particularly ones being made of durable coverings for security against water and ice. This will be more important in an area where you obtain a lot of snow or rain.
5. Inspections
In the event your roof is functioning correctly, home shall remain secure and safe for years to come. Make sure you get your house examined from time and energy to time.
6. Wind opposition
While evaluating the roofing product, quality and installation, be sure you look at the performance and guarantee for the item in strong winds. Using this factor under consideration is more essential where you receive tornadoes, hurricanes or other climate habits.
7. Installation contractor
It's wise to employ a bonded or licensed contractor. Your contractor should be insured. They should provide a material or labor warranty. The contractor should have the license and follow local or local laws. Actually, your contractor should be dependable and may have a lot of experience doing the type that is same of.
8. After sale service
After sale solution is an important element of our roof replacement project. Does your contractor offer a warranty? Does the guarantee include work, product or parts? What's the duration of the guarantee? In a nutshell, you might ask most of the concern regarding the warranty before hiring the contractor.
9. Price
Pricing is maybe not an issue which should influence your hiring choice. While rates normally important, we declare that you give more crucial that you other important factors, such as experience and reliability regarding the contractor before you make your choice.
