There is no place like home, as we come back to the world famous "House of Drift" Irwindale Speedway to end the 2018 Pro2 session. Unlike the Pro drivers having 8 rounds throughout the year, Pro2 drivers only have 4 rounds. There is no room for error and anything can happen. Only the top 8 overall drivers will have the chance to get their Pro license for next year.

This post last updated August 19, 2015, to reflect changes from Martin.js v0.3.1.
With Martin.js officially out of beta, I thought I'd show off some of its niftier capabilities. Martin.js can do basic photo editing, like you would do in Photoshop, but with a few lines of code, you can also manipulate photos interactively, and animate, all in browser*.
*Of course, for best results, view in Chrome.
← Dark | Light →
← Black & White | Vibrant →
In the above example, I'm just calling two built-in methods —
.lighten() and
.saturate() and adjusting the amount based on the slider. These methods create
Effects that are applied to a canvas layer and can be stacked on top of each other. Read more about
Effects in Martin.js.
In addition to the built-in
Effects, it's relatively easy to create your own — it just takes a little knowledge of how pixel data is displayed on the screen. Each pixel contains four values that describe how it's displayed: red, green, blue, and alpha (transparency).
By looping through all the pixels in a photo (which sounds overwhelming, but can actually be done relatively quickly), you can not only retrieve the
rgba values, but also manipulate them. Martin.js comes with an easy way to do this — the
.loop() method.
A trivial but impactful example would be to overwrite the pixel's red value to be 255 (the maximum, on a scale of 0-255). To do this, we first have to register this as a new effect, and then apply it to our canvas.
An effect can also be applied interactively when the user mouses over the photo, creating a spotlight.
The key in the above example is to remove and re-apply the spotlight with each mousemove. Otherwise, the
Effect will act recursively, quickly turning every pixel black. Read more about
Events in Martin.js.
A number of effects from Photoshop or other photo editing programs can easily be recreated, for example the gradient map.
A gradient map will clamp outlying color values to a predetermined range. If your map is from blue to yellow, then dark values will appear blue, light values will appear yellow, and anything between will be coerced to that spectrum (that is, greenish, as in the above example).
A gradient map can also invert a photo, mapping dark to light and vice-versa. And while it can completely invert the image, as in the immediate above example, it can also invert some values but not others, as in the example above that, where red is inverted but blue and green are left untouched.
Effects can change based on data other than user interaction and existing pixel data, such as time. By using
requestAnimationFrame(), we can easily make animations from photos.
In the above example, a new
Effect takes a time parameter, which is incremented with each available animation frame. It loops and increases the pixel's red, green, and blue values, lightening them. The amount it lightens each value depends on the pixel's x value (in any pixel column, they are all being lightened by the same amount) and on the time. However, red, green, and blue all act differently based on the time parameter — the blue "wave" is faster than green, which is faster than red — causing the rainbow-like color shifts we see.
These are just a few examples of what can be done with Martin.js. Check out the project on GitHub, and if you make anything cool, let me know on Twitter!

Legislation Could Bring More Oversight to Guest Farmworker Program
OLYMPIA, Wash. – A measure in the Washington State Legislature would establish more oversight for a federal program that allows farms to recruit guest workers from other countries.
The bill would create an office of compliance for the guest worker program, known as H-2A, and require employers to pay a fee for worker applications.
The Employment Security Department (ESD) requested the bill, saying the program has grown more than 1,000 percent over the past decade, but has been unable to get more funding from the federal government.
Rosalinda Guillen, executive director of the farmworkers' rights group Community to Community Development, says H-2A workers face retaliation for protesting working conditions.
"These growers and labor contractors that bring workers in blacklist workers who complain," she states. "So, yes, we think that the growers prefer the H-2A program because it's a totally controllable, captive labor force."
Guillen says her organization receives complaints from guest workers about pay and poor housing and labor conditions. She notes that workers aren't able to form a union and protest because employers can send them back home for doing so.
The ESD expects 30,000 H-2A workers in Washington state this year. The Senate version of the bill, SB 5438, has a hearing Thursday in the Committee on Labor and Commerce.
Ryan Ogburn is the director of visa services with WAFLA, an Olympia-based farm labor organization. He says this measure will create unnecessary regulations for farmers.
"They're facing lower commodity prices, higher labor costs, higher operating costs, lower global markets," he points out. "So it's just kind of a perfect storm of more regulation, more taxes, more costs for these employers, these farmers who are trying to get by, especially the smaller farms up here in Washington state."
Edgar Franks, civic engagement coordinator with Community to Community Development. disagrees that the state has a worker shortage and says this bill will give ESD the funding needed to analyze this issue.
He says domestic, unionized farmworkers like those in Familias Unidas por la Justicia are overlooked for H-2A workers, who can't form their own union.
"The only thing that exists is that there's a shortage of farms that are paying workers what they owe," he states. "So, the industry is really pushing back against anything that brings fairness for farmworkers, whether it be domestic workers or H-2A workers."

…with Five Tips for Starting Your 2020 Business Branding on the Right Foot As 2020 swiftly approaches, the team at...
It's a well-known business truth that brands become stagnant if they aren't open to change. For this reason, reviewing your brand strategy is now common business practice, but any changes you make should have a business objective behind them.
To identify whether change is necessary for your brand and where updates need to be made, ask yourself the following questions:
When a brand is successful, the answers to most of these questions will be 'yes', although an indicator that your brand strategy needs updating is when that 'yes' is followed by a 'but'. For example, if the answer to the brand language question is 'yes, but I feel that the language could be more personal', this is an indicator that your company has evolved and the branding needs to catch up.
In this instance, a brand refresh may be more valuable to your business than a complete rebrand. Refreshing your brand rather than starting from scratch provides you with an opportunity to not only refine your visual identity, but also to redefine what the brand stands for and how these core values are communicated both internally and externally.
A brand refresh is an evaluative process where we identify the challenges and opportunities for your business and make subtle refinements to reinforce its position in the marketplace. This ensures your brand continues to be relevant without damaging the equity you've worked so hard to build.
Situations when a brand refresh is appropriate include:
In the brand refresh process, we define the elements that are working and those that aren't pulling their weight, and we also reassess where the business is currently at and where it is going. This allows us to make small updates to the visual identity and brand language.
The recent Qantas brand refresh is an example of a company strategically modernising its brand. Since Qantas was founded more than 80 years ago, it has refreshed its identity just five times. The latest refresh was unveiled to coincide with the airline's launch of a new fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners, signalling to consumers that the company remains modern and dynamic ahead of its upcoming centenary.
A brand refresh is an opportunity to align your branding with your business strategy. You will see the best results from your brand if you take the time to define your ongoing business objectives prior to the refresh process.
During a brand refresh, we refine your brand strategy and review each element of the brand to ensure you are effectively and consistently communicating your brand promise and brand story.
Refinements made during a brand refresh project may include:
The result of this process is a more cohesive identity that better reflects your business. It also provides you with a strong framework to continue developing your brand as your business grows.
The rebranding process is a lot more in depth. It signals a change of direction for a business and can involve the creation of a completely new identity, brand story and even a business name. This process is suited to businesses that need to reinvent themselves because their business or market has changed so much that the current brand is no longer adequate.
When a brand carries a lot of equity, a rebrand can be unnecessarily disruptive to the business. Unlike rebranding, which rebuilds a brand from the ground up, a brand refresh refines your brand to better reflect who you are, what your offer and what you stand for.
To see a brand refresh project in action, see the work we recently did for Little Tokyo Two – a series of co-working spaces that had grown up and needed a stronger identity and set of brand guidelines.

Fanboys have been waiting more than two decades for this moment, and oversize children have longed for it since they first discovered the meaning of "Kung-Fu Grip" in the '60s and '70s. During the Super Bowl on Sunday (February 1), the world got its first glimpse at the live-action "G.I. Joe" movie, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra." So what did you think?
To be honest: As a die-hard fan of the '80s toys and cartoons, I saw little besides a title card that made me think this was "G.I. Joe." No Cobra Commander, no "Yo, Joe!," no distinctive uniforms, colorful costumes or tongue-in-cheek public-service announcements. If a franchise has been successful for 45 years, why does it need such a massive overhaul that only seems to make it feel more generic?
Then again, my wife, who is not bogged down with any preconceived notions of "G.I. Joe," watched it, looked over at my disappointed face and said: "It looks like a cool action flick!" Maybe in the case of this August release, not knowing is half the battle.
Love it or hate it, here's our shot-by-shot breakdown of the good, the bad and the Baroness:
Shot 1: A foreign sports car pulls up at a fancy mansion.
Shot 2: An establishing shot of a character's leg, stepping out of said vehicle. If it isn't the most overused cliché in all of moviemaking, it's certainly in the top two.
Shot 3: Hey, it's Sienna Miller as the Baroness! The chief intelligence officer for C.O.B.R.A. has a predilection toward tight black outfits, plots to take over the world, and evil men in masks. Thankfully, she's wearing her eyeglasses in this scene.
Shot 4: Hundreds of evil CGI submarines.
Shot 5: A better view of Baroness in her black leather outfit, and a first glimpse at the control room of M.A.R.S. (Military Armament Research Syndicate). There, she stands at attention behind Laird James McCullen Destro XXIV (or Destro to his friends). Played by Christopher Eccleston (the invisible dude from "Heroes"), this appears to be an early scene in the movie, before the Scottish weapons dealer dons his signature steel mask.
Voiceover: "When I'm finished, the world will never forget." Really? Is that Destro's voice? I guess the brogue is interesting, but it certainly couldn't be any more different than Arthur Burghardt's voice in the classic cartoon series.
Shot 6: Green, CGI, mossy-looking things munch away at the Eiffel Tower, dropping it on its side. Clearly, Destro's evil plan is to get revenge after dropping several hundred bucks at Le Jules Verne restaurant only to sit among tourists and eat mediocre French food.
Shot 7: "Make the call," urges Dennis Quaid as Hawk. Since Quaid is so fond of describing his Hawk as a cross between General Patton and Hugh Hefner, we can only assume the serious-looking lady in the background is about to tear her shirt open, and that "the call" is some sort of sexual thing.
Shot 8: "From the director of 'The Mummy.' " Insert your own joke here.
Shot 9: "Mount up!" screams Marlon Wayans as Ripcord. By far the most controversial of the "G.I. Joe" castings, Wayans' take on the somewhat-obscure, serious-minded H.A.L.O. (high altitude, low opening) paratrooper is reportedly to provide comic relief in the film. We can only pray that Wayans' jokes don't include midget special effects, a diaper and rectal thermometers.
Shot 10: Channing Tatum in battle fatigues as Duke, preparing for battle. "Technically, we don't exist," Duke says. "We answer to no one."
Shot 11: A very quick shot of Snake Eyes (Ray Park, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace") leaping out of a plane.
Shot 12: Oh wow, they are making a sequel to "Wanted" after all! That's so cool. They can bring back McAvoy and Angelina and ... wait a minute, this is still the "G.I. Joe" trailer, right? Then why do those two guys have the superhuman ability to leap through the windows of a speeding bus, and not just go "splat" against the side of it? Maybe just because it looks cool?
Shot 13: The Baroness does a little John Woo double-gun-offensive move, while a pair of Cobra Vipers flank her.
Shot 14: Somebody leaps off a speeding motorcycle, just before it's hit by enemy fire.
Shot 15: Someone else is on the wing of a plane, firing a machine gun. The uniforms all look so similar that it's hard to tell which character is which. I haven't seen this much black leather since the last time I went to the mall and accidentally wandered into Wilsons.
Shot 16: Scarlett (Rachel Nichols, "Resurrecting the Champ") is fleeing an under-attack area, pulling a possibly wounded Breaker (Said Taghmaoui, "Vantage Point") behind her.
Voiceover: "And when all else fails, we don't," Duke continues.
Shot 17: Two figures do somersaults around launched missiles. It looks to be the same folks seen jumping through the bus earlier. Are they Vipers? Power Rangers?
Shot 18: Meet the Joes! From left to right: Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, "Lost"), Breaker, Duke, Hawk, Ripcord, Scarlett and Snake Eyes.
Shot 19: Destro confronts Hawk in some sort of government building, in front of a security station (good thing he's not wearing the mask, because that would be real tough to get through a metal detector). "What did you say your unit was called?"
Shot 20: Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) go toe-to-toe. As any Joe fan knows, the quality of their beloved confrontations could make or break the movie.
Shot 21: Hawk's response to Destro: "I didn't."
Shot 22: Oh, no way! They're making a fourth "Matrix" film? Clearly, that must be the case, because here's a figure in black with the ability to slow time and take three steps to climb over a vehicle being thrown at him in midair? Wow! Oh wait, that's just Snake Eyes.
Shot 23: "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"
Shot 24: 8.7.09

Newer to the Canadian market, Persil arrived on the scene about a year ago, but this European laundry brand has been around for more than 100 years. As we learned in our testing, Persil ProClean Power-Liquid Original Scent laundry detergent can hold its own in the stain-fighting, clothes-cleaning arena.
To put Persil to the test, we stained white 100-percent cotton onesies with everything from grass to spaghetti sauce, and then hit the laundromat to see how well detergent alone tackled both fresh stains and stains left to sit overnight. Persil completely removed grape juice, baby formula, washable marker and sweet potato puree. None of the detergents we tested were able to completely remove spaghetti or coffee stains with a single wash, but Persil nearly did the job with spaghetti sauce, leaving only faint stains. Persil also significantly reduced grass stains with one wash. Our hands-on parent testers noted that Persil did a good job removing sweat, spit-up and urine, and they said that the detergent kept their whites white and brights bright.
All of our hands-on parent testers described Persil's fragrance as very strong, but most also said that the scent was very pleasant. (The one tester who described the scent as "somewhat unpleasant" typically uses an unscented detergent.) In our lab tests, we found that the fragrance mellowed significantly after clothing had been dried. If you like fragranced detergents, odds are good you'll enjoy Persil.
We didn't love that the measurement instructions of the back of the Persil bottle don't correlate to the measurements on the inside of the detergent cap. You could easily end up using too much or too little detergent, meaning clothes may not get clean enough or may have detergent residue on them post-wash. Plus, if you're using too much, the cost per load goes up from the standard $0.21 per load.
Overall, the majority of hands-on parent testers agreed that Persil ProClean Power-Liquid Original Scent is a high-quality product, and based on the cost per load, they also felt that Persil offered above average value. Of the testers who usually use a scented detergent, the majority said they would buy this product and recommend it to other parents. Combined with the results in general cleaning and stain-fighting, Persil is a very good choice in the original scent laundry detergent category.

"Your story should be written now while it is fresh and while the true details are available. A journal is the literature of superiority. Each individual can become superior in her own humble life." ~Spencer W. Kimball
Thursday, April 29, 2010
Keith is quite the talker. People always comment on how well and how much he talks. But I guess that is common for the oldest child. He is also a comedian. I laugh every day because of something he says.
Last night he was saying his prayers. Along with thanking Heavenly Father for his parents and grandparents, he also thanked Him for "dinosaurs and very scary dinosaurs." It was very hard to not bust up laughing.
He also is a lyricist. His favorite song is The Wheels on The Bus. However, the wheels don't go round and round. Nor do we sing about anything as silly as wheels. We sing about "the robots on the bus go crash crash crash.... the skeletons on the bus go clickety clack... the grandmas on the bus give lots of treats... the monsters on the bus go roar roar roar..." You get the idea.
Every day is Halloween with Keith. He goes trick or treating to his grandmother's room 3-4 times daily. She gives him craisins. His favorite things are a full moon, witches, ghosts, monsters, skeletons, owls, bats, and anything else that could possibly be seen as scary.
Nothing scares my little boy. And I too, wish every day could be Halloween. Best holiday ever!
He puts on his knight costume and runs around the house shouting "Let's vanquish the monsters!"
Here we go a vanquishing.

I love his version of "The Wheels on the Bus".
My daughter's favorite holiday is Halloween as well. She thinks it is way too cool that she gets to go to people's houses and they give her candy, a rare treat around here considering most is made of milk chocolate and she is allergic to dairy. I am constantly picking up her trick or treating bucket, it gets used daily, but usually it gets filled with legos and Barbie shoes...lol.

HA! not common for our oldest child. people always comment on how little brennan talks and if i'm "concerned" or if i think he is talking enough for his age. he has always made us wait a little longer for all of his milestones. we soak them up when they come.

Making excellent oral hygiene a habit is enough to avert most oral health diseases. Oral hygiene should be apart of your lifestyle and a frequent activity. A daily routine of oral care is necessary to clean the tooth of food bits or debris and plaque.
What are the consequences of poor oral hygiene?
- The primary result of poor oral care is tooth decay. When tooth decay does not receive immediate attention, it could worsen into tooth nerve infection, which causes unbearable pain. If left for long, the bones around the tooth will soon be affected, resulting in bone loss. In worse cases, you could suffer abscess, which may require the removal of the root canal or even the teeth.
- Another issue is gum disease, which can range from gingivitis and mild inflammation to severe periodontitis. If not treated early, it will cause loss of the bone surrounding the teeth, and ultimately teeth loss.
- Bad breath or halitosis is another common issue with people who have poor oral hygiene.
- Unknown to many people, poor oral hygiene is associated with diabetes, heart diseases, and complications during pregnancy. It is, therefore, necessary for people with cardiac conditions or diabetes to maintain strict oral hygiene. Couples preparing for pregnancy should also book an appointment with the dentist to resolve any possible dental issue. Maintaining proper oral health during pregnancy is necessary.
- Tooth loss in aged people makes it difficult to eat healthy meal courses, and a weak digestive system is a constraint for their overall health, causing health complications such as anemia.
- Young people without good oral hygiene may soon suffer a premature loss of teeth, degradation of the dental structure and ultimately malocclusion.
So how do we maintain good oral hygiene?
Keeping your mouth clean and healthy is simple and straightforward. Experts recommend brushing twice daily using a soft or medium toothbrush with peanut-sized toothpaste. Brushing should be gentle on the teeth and not vigorous.
Flossing should be done at least once per day.
When brushing your teeth, you should also remember to clean your palate and tongue. Doing this before going to bed will help lessen the build-up of microorganism in the mouth.
Once daily, wash your mouth with antimicrobial or mouthwash containing fluoride.
Also, don't forget to change your toothbrush every three months.
Eat healthily, reducing the number of sugary foods and drinks. Aerated and sour beverages also do your teeth more harm than good. They erode your teeth and make it sensitive.
At least once in six months, book an appointment with the dentist for a regular checkup and professional polishing and scaling of your teeth.
Paying regular visits to your dentist when you detect any minor discomfort, discoloration, or inflammation will aid early detection of severe issues before they worsen. Your dentist will also be able to recommend precautions or practices for better oral health.
Final Note
Prevention, we know is better than cure. Simple routines like these eliminate potential oral health issues and consequently avert expensive dental procedures in the future.

We may be only days away from Spectra Energy's high pressure, fracked-gas Algonquin Incremental Market (AIM) Pipeline going into operation. Mountainkeeper is working to stop the build out of all gas infrastructure projects because they will tie us to dirty fossil fuels at a time when we need to build a clean, renewable energy future. AIM is particularly egregious because as the pipeline spans three New York counties, it crosses two fault lines, passes only 105 feet from critical Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant Safety infrastructure, and travels just 400 feet from an elementary school.Read more
Help Stop Bomb Trains
Bomb trains carrying massive amounts of fracked oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota and tar sands from Canada, are cutting across New York State on the way to the Port of Albany and nearby transfer yards, and then down the Hudson River corridor to East Coast refineries.This boom in crude oil transportation is raising serious public safety and environmental concerns due to the extreme volatility of Bakken crude, the sheer volume of oil being transported, and the poor safety record of the type of tank cars used to carry most of this oil.

Oil and Gas Invasion of New York
The Oil and Gas Industry is Invading New York – #1 in a series
Catskill Mountainkeeper is calling New York's attention to an unfolding crisis as the fossil fuel industry tries to turn New York into an oil and gas state. We must stop the numerous oil and gas infrastructure projects that are in various stages of proposal and construction that represent a grave danger to our environment and our health.

Help Us Go to Court Against Constitution Pipeline!
Just four months ago, you and I won a dramatic victory when New York State dealt an apparent death blow to the Constitution Pipeline by denying it a crucial water quality certification. But the Constitution Pipeline Company LLC -- the energy giant behind this fossil fuel monstrosity -- will not let the project die. The company has just filed suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals, challenging not only the State's decision but its very right to stop the pipeline.
Catskill Mountainkeeper has moved swiftly to intervene in this pivotal case and ensure that New York State's historic decision is upheld. Please make a special tax-deductible contribution right now to help us wage this all-important fight for our environment, our communities, and our climate.Read more
Millenium Expansion Proposed for Sullivan and Delaware Counties
Activists needed to fight the Millennium Pipeline Company's proposed Eastern System Upgrade Project, which poses an unacceptable risk to people, homes, and businesses right here in the Catskills!
This proposed expansion includes two new noisy, dirty and dangerous 22,400 horsepower natural gas compressor stations. One is proposed in Sullivan County, in the Town of Highland, and the other would be an addition to the existing Hancock Compressor Station, in Delaware County.
Breaking news on extending the film tax credit to the Catskills and Hudson Valley
We're so pleased with the wonderful news that last night the New York State Assembly extended the Empire State Film Production Tax Credit Program to the Catskills and Hudson Valley, a move that will encourage film production in our region and foster economic growth. The Senate already passed this bill earlier this year, and it is now awaiting the Governor's signature.
VICTORY! New York Rejects Constitution Pipeline.
In an amazing victory for our forests, waterways and communities, New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has formally denied the water quality certification as required by the Clean Water Act for the proposed Constitution Pipeline.Read more
Only days left to stop the pipeline. Are you in?
April 26 is looming large.
That's the deadline Governor Cuomo has to act to kill the Constitution Pipeline -- or else New York State will waive its right to stop this disastrous, climate-wrecking project.
All the Governor and his Department of Environmental Conservation need to do is deny the pipeline a water quality certification.Read more
Governor Cuomo and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) have the power to reject this pipeline once and for all, right now! All DEC needs to do is deny water quality certification under the Clean Water Act by April 26th, and the pipeline project is dead, period. This is New York's chance to protect our State's rights, our people and our waterways. SEND THE GOVERNOR A MESSAGE NOW!

Ryse Solutions Offers Fully Integrated Producer Responsibility Services
Well-known Canadian recycling and resource recovery pioneer Emmie Leung announced on June 20, 2018 that she has launched a new company, Ryse Solutions Inc., that is Canada's first fully integrated producer responsibility organization offering compliance services and material recovery solutions and advice under one umbrella.
Headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, Ryse Solutions is already up and running with the expertise, experience, equipment, and facilities to deliver integrated solutions to producers, manufacturers, packaging suppliers, importers, distributors, and retailers of products and packaging materials that are obligated under producer responsibility regulations across North America.
In addition to regulatory compliance, the new company will be able to use its network to help its customers identify and meet their own recycling and sustainability targets.
Ontario's new used tire regulation, set to take effect in 2019, is an example of changes in producer responsibility policy framework that is pushing companies to look at how they conduct their businesses in a more sustainable way – reducing and reusing material inputs and external outputs – while complying with regulatory obligations.
Ryse Solutions works with producers to provide compliance services and material recovery solutions and advice to meet the changing demands of regulation and sustainability goals.

$6 Tide Stain Release x 5
$4.99 Crest Rinse
-$3 Tide MFQ (P&G 6/5) x 4
-$1.50 Tide MFQ (P&G 7/3)
-$2 Crest MFQ (P&G 6/5)
= $16.49 + tax
(And I got back a $10 +UP Reward and $4.50 SCR == $2.00 total cost.)
I remembered when I was clipping my coupons Monday morning that you can only use 4 like P&G coupons per transaction (due to the wording written on them), so I used four of the $3 MFQ's and one of the $1.50 MFQ, in order to play by the rules. It still turned out to be a fantastic transaction, and now I'm stocked up on stain remover for a good long while!

"Not As Advertised"
"I know things have not turned out as you imagined they would. When you first set your heart on following Me, you were ready to give all to Me, and it seemed that as soon as you did, your problems, doubts, faults and stains would be washed away and your life would be full of strength and faith ever after. The words of your church leaders and founders told of a change of character, lifestyle, and becoming an example to all those around you. You were led to expect that after coming up out of the water, you would be like Me.
"I know your pain. I know your tears. I know your disappointment and discouragment. I know how you've wanted to just give up. I know the pressure of how you have to try to look like everything is okay and pretend that you're not actually just hanging on for dear life. I know you feel like there must be something wrong with you because it seems like everyone else changed magically when they were baptized.
"I am not going to tell you to try harder. I am not going to tell you that you have been a failure, because the truth is that I never expected those things of you at all. Those expectations were placed on your by the teachings of your leaders and your church's founders, and by a church environment where everyone was aspiring to meet the church's expectations and could not openly admit the truth.
"I have never wanted you to pretend. I have never wanted you to be like your church's founders. I have never expected you to stand before My Father without a mediator. I have never based My love for you on the perfection of your character.
"I gave you Myself on the Cross because I knew you could never ascend to heaven on your own, and I want to be with you forever. I didn't die so that you yourself could 'become righteous,' but instead I died to credit you with My righteousness. Your righteousness is not and will never be the standard by which I accept or reject you. I have already accepted you, I have already died on the Cross for you! And My love will never be removed from you. I died to set you free from your righteousness.
"I want you to be free! I want you to be free of thinking that your righteousness will save or condemn you. I want you to be free of the lie that you will have to stand before My Father without My intercession. I want you to be free of the environment in which you have to pretend that you are a 'spiritual' person and can't admit how you really feel. I want you to have rest.
"Come, rest in Me. You have already given Me your heart, and I accepted it gladly! Don't doubt your sincerity and don't think that you did something wrong or didn't give your heart to Me completely enough. Of course you didn't give me your heart completely! You can't! Only I can do that. I will undivide your heart in My time, in My power by My Spirit. That's My job.
"Come, take off the robe of expectations that your church has given you to wear, and rest in My righteousness instead."

6 Months of Therapy. Why I Keep Going
Oh mental health. It's a popular topic these days and I figured in light of everything going on I'd give you an update about me. If you're new to my therapy/mental health journey, I posted a video a few months ago discussing my process and decision to start therapy.
For the first few months, I attended an hour long therapy session once a week. I've since switched to once every two weeks to better fit my schedule and needs. It's so easy to go consistently because I have such a strong and supportive relationship with my therapist. It feels as if we're just two friends gabbing about life every session rather than it being a formal thing. It's so important to find someone you can really connect with.
For me, it took about two months before I really got comfortable with my therapist. It took time to tell her about my life, give her the ins and outs of my family, and warm up to the fact that we'd be talking about hard topics I usually avoided. It's only recently that I feel like we've really dove deep into the origins of my anxiety and panic attacks.
The thing about therapy is that it takes time. Anxiety isn't something you can just "cure." It's something that adapts, changes, and hangs out with you for your entire life. I keep going because I've seen so much progress already, but the work isn't done yet.
I think I'll always continue therapy is some form for the rest of my life. It's amazing to have someone to talk to about things I don't want to bother my husband with, or with petty things that would inevitably bore anyone else I tell them to. It's a great feeling to have someone who will listen to you without fail, never just waiting for you to stop talking so it can be their turn.
My anxiety is definitely not gone, but it's manageable now. I've developed techniques and methods to deal with the hard days, and now there are even more good days. So that's why I keep going. To work towards more of those good days.

I don't watch much reality TV. It's heavily edited, possibly scripted and is manipulated in a thousand secret ways. In fact, I'm not a fan of commercial TV at all, both because of the incessant advertising and the preponderance of anti-progressive political views.
So at first, Channel 9's TV hit reality show of the season, Married at First Sight, passed me by.
It was my son Sam who changed that. He's 23 and, like most young adults, has his own busy life so we're rarely together in the evenings. A few weeks ago, however, he slid sheepishly onto the couch and asked if we could watch MAFS. I was surprised he wanted to, particularly with me, but as I'm always happy to share an activity with him, we flicked it on.
Well, it was a mind-blowing experience.
There's a lot to say about MAFS and as anyone who watches knows, an enormous number of people are saying all of those things. On Twitter, Instagram and Facebook as well as in mainstream media and around every work water cooler, Australia has lit up in recent weeks with everybody discussing what's happening on MAFS. Will Tracy stay with Dean? Will Patrick's mum accept Charlene? Will Justin and Carly ever hold hands? Could Ryan roll his eyes any harder? And what's with Troy's crazy laugh?
My own growing interest in it has focused less on whether I care about these people's "marriages", and more on what can be learned from the show.
As a trained teacher, a passionate campaigner for women's rights, and a parent of young adult children MAFS is, for me, the perfect opportunity to talk to my kids about understanding other humans. Because in their intimate relationships, their friendships and at work, my kids will be better equipped to cope with life if they recognise undesirable character traits in others and learn to manage or avoid them.
It sounds immodest if I say my home is a fairly happy place. Of course, there are disagreements with four strong-minded adults living here (myself, my husband and our twin sons), but it's normally positive and supportive. I'm proud of that, but it means my kids haven't really been exposed to overly manipulative, self-absorbed or wilfully cruel people. They have encountered such behaviours during their education and in their jobs, but when it's are displayed in technicolour glory in their own loungeroom, they can learn much more.
For a long time, I've wished all Australian teenagers received lessons on respectful relationships at school. Teaching boys about respect for women, healthy relationships, enthusiastic consent and toxic masculinity, for example, would make much difference to their lives as men. And in a country where dozens of women are still murdered by their partners each year and thousands more injured or otherwise abused, teaching girls to recognise potentially controlling partners could improve their safety as adult women.
Such programs do exist around the country but they're of varying quality and duration and in most places aren't compulsory.
I honestly believe MAFS can fill in some of these gaps, particularly if accompanied by the right input from parents.
This is what happened for Sam and I. As the dramas played out onscreen, Sam and I would wait till the episode finished and talk. And talk, and talk. I've never discussed human behaviour or relationships with him as honestly before. He saw behaviour from women that he'll recognise more easily should he encounter it in his own partners, and he saw behaviour from men that he now knows is unacceptable should he ever be with other men talking about women. So he'll be able to both choose a better partner and BE a better partner as he grows older.
My daughter Laura doesn't live at home but she and I have also talked about MAFS. We met up last week, for example, and were both agog at how Dean would flatly lie and continue to lie even when his lies and gaslighting were caught on film. During episodes we sometimes texted each other our opinions and ideas about what was happening. I don't set out to educate her as she's an independent woman but for her, too, I'm happy she'll now be able to better recognise poor behaviour among her workmates and friends.
Of course, such learning may come at a price as reality shows are potentially damaging for those involved, and it makes me uncomfortable that Channel 9 may be making mega-profits from the contestants' misery. A couple of participants (including Davina and Dean) have suffered extreme abuse (including horrendous gendered abuse aimed at Davina) and I wonder how their futures will be affected by that hate.
The opposing argument, though, is that they're consenting adults and three previous seasons of MAFS would have shown them what could happen. Presumably, they think it's worth it: they want to be "stars", and who are the rest of us to say they can't have their 15 minutes of fame? I've heard Davina has increased her Instagram following enormously during the series, and perhaps she thinks her portrayal has been worth it for that alone. She wouldn't be the first to build a valuable career from an infamous beginning.
For those turning their noses up at MAFS, I get it. I also understand the contradictions and myriad potential problems associated with the show.
But on balance, I believe it's been positive and beneficial for the youth of Australia, and for anyone who wants to learn more about human interaction and benefit from that knowledge in their own lives. And for Sam and I, in particular, it's been amazing. We're sorry to see it end.
Bye, bye, MAFS. Our evenings won't be the same without you.

Casting has been revealed for the London premiere of five-time Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home at the Young Vic.
Kaisa Hammarlund, who was recently nominated for a UK Theatre Award for Sweet Charity at Exchange Theatre Manchester, will lead the cast as Alison, whose memories of family life Fun Home centres upon. Eleanor Kane (Assassins) will play Medium Alison.
Stage favourite and Olivier Award-winner Jenna Russell (Sunday In The Park With George, West End) will play Helen, with Ashley Samuels (Motown The Musical) as Roy, Mark and Jeremy; Cherrelle Skeete (Harry Potter And The Cursed Child) as Joan; and Zubin Varla (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare's Globe) as Bruce, Alison's father.
Based on Alison Bechdel's brilliant 2006 graphic novel, Fun Home explores the memories of Alison's uniquely complicated family at three different stages in her life – her volatile, brilliant, enigmatic father, mother and brothers – that connect with her in surprising new ways. Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.
Playing at the Young Vic from 18 June, Fun Home marks director Sam Gold's West End debut. Gold previously directed the musical on Broadway, where the show won five Tony Awards in 2015. It is the final show in David Lan's last season as Artistic Director of the Young Vic.
Casting for Small Alison, John and Christian will be announced at a later date.
The London premiere is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Fox Theatricals and Barbara Whitman. Choreography is by Danny Mefford, set and costume design by David Zinn, light by Ben Stanton, sound by Kai Harada, music supervision by Chris Fenwick, music direction by Nigel Lilley and casting by Julia Horan CDG.
Fun Home will play until 1 September, with tickets available through the Young Vic website.

Pet owners want healthy, balanced food for their pets. Taking on this challenge has made Selev Pet Industry a supplier of raw food materials for the best and best-known pet food brands.
Our internal quality protocols cover the acquisition of appropriate raw materials in good condition at abattoirs and cutting rooms to continuous laboratory analysis of all our production. As a consequence, our food quality and safety are based on two pillars:
Food traceability: We control the origin and processing of all our protein and fat production. Our raw material comes from discard from abattoirs and cutting rooms used for human consumption, thus sharing their original traceability references.
Ongoing production analysis: Our plant has an advanced chemical laboratory to analyse constantly and daily the protein index and the digestibility of our meals, their levels of fat and moisture, as well as the presence of histamines, ashes, peroxides and sulphuric acid. We comply with the HACCP (Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points) protocol from the first production phase until the product is warehoused and include repeated analyses of the same by NIR (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) technology, which is very fast and accurate.

text: DON FERIA/isiphotos.com Stanford in the NFL draft preview: part two April 26, 2018 0 Comments Share tweet Bobby Pragada Desk Editor By: Bobby Pragada | Desk Editor The NFL draft begins tonight, and several Stanford football players will hope to hear their name called at some point during this weekend. Yesterday I took a closer look at defensive tackle Harrison Phillips and tight end Peter Kalambayi. Today, I'll be covering the strengths and weaknesses of safety Justin Reid and cornerback Quenton Meeks, as well as a few other players who may or may not be drafted as they each look for a home within the National Football League. Justin Reid Justin Reid is no stranger to the NFL. His brother, Eric Reid, spent the last five years of his career just down the road with the San Francisco 49ers after being drafted in the first round out of Louisiana State University. Eric Reid is currently in the news as he remains unsigned as a free agent after continuing Colin Kaepernick's National Anthem protest during the 2017 season, despite being a Pro Bowl caliber starter. The Reids play the same general position, safety, with Justin showing flexibility in the backfield during his time with the Cardinal. In fact, it will probably be his experience and versatility that gets him drafted. I mentioned yesterday that Stanford has had players selected in the first round of the past three NFL drafts. Reid just might be the Cardinal's best shot to continue that streak, as the draft stock of Harrison Phillips continues to fall and Reid shines more and more in the eyes of scouts. His pro day, performance at the combine and team needs could all be reasons that he ends up going in an early round. Justin was invaluable to the Cardinal's success in 2017. He singlehandedly kept the secondary together, both as a leader and as a coverage and in-the-box safety. He had 99 total tackles, with 6.5 of them breaking into the backfield for a loss. He registered a sack in Stanford's massive win over Notre Dame, and had six total pass breakups during the season. He also led all Pac-12 players with five total interceptions, proving he has serious ball skills as well. He was named to the All-Pac 12 team and the AP All American second team and decided to forgo his final year of eligibility to enter the draft. Reid dominated at the combine, and despite being slightly smaller than the average defensive back at 6'0" and 207 pounds, Reid showed off the one characteristic that will probably be the most useful in getting drafted. He ran a 4.4 40-yard dash. Any defensive back with a 40-time that fast is well on their way to finding success in the NFL. His time placed him in the top 95th percentile of all DB's. He also ran a 6.65 3-cone, a top 90th percentile performance. Draft scouts agree that Reid functions as a prototypical defensive back in the modern NFL. His speed and athletic ability combined with his natural football instincts make him a scheme fit to drop into coverage in the slot or over the top. His biggest weakness is his tendencies to get beat by pure speed receivers, but good scheming should keep him safe in an NFL defense to do what he does best, stay composed and make plays with his excellent technique and intuition. Reid is now being mocked as a late first-round pick, particularly by teams with strong overall rosters but possible secondary needs. The most common locations tend to be the Carolina Panthers, where he could become a day one starter, or the New England Patriots, where he could learn the position behind Patrick Chung and Devin McCourty. He could also drop to the beginning of the second round, where a team like the Cleveland Browns could jump on the opportunity to take a possible future Pro Bowler to even out their roster. Quenton Meeks Quenton Meeks has everything that you need to succeed as a cornerback in the NFL. That's right, he's got a cool nickname — "Showtime." Meeks also has football in his genes, as his father served as the defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts during their Super Bowl XLI victory. Meeks has the mindset to come into the NFL and immediately make a difference on a team. Showtime did just that when he came into Stanford as a freshman, starting immediately and leading the team with three interceptions with his snaps on the field. He matured and became a leader in the secondary, partnering with Reid and the rest of the defensive backs to create a fearsome unit for opposing quarterbacks. In his junior season, Meeks had 65 total tackles, eight pass breakups and two interceptions, landing him a spot on the second All-Pac 12 team. At the combine, Meeks tested very closely to other Stanford defensive backs in draft history, namely one Richard Sherman. As Sherman was taken in the fifth round, and Meeks projects to be a third or fourth round pick, the similarities may not stop there. Meeks is 6'1", (Sherman is a little taller at 6'3") and weighed in at 207 pounds. One thing that jumped out off of Meeks' performance at the combine was his hand size; his hands are 10⅓", in the top 96th percentile of defensive backs. Meeks declined to run the 40, but did his 3-cone in 6.72 seconds. Meeks' size makes him a good cover corner for big-bodied wide receivers, of which there are plenty in the NFL. With good development, and solid safety play to assist him as a rookie, Meeks could truly shine in the right system. He lacks acceleration to catch up on misread routes but is disciplined with his hips and techniques. I could see him truly succeeding in a system like Buffalo, where he would have two all-pro safeties and a shutdown cornerback working across from him. Like Sherman in Seattle, he could grow into a massive player for his draft position. Speaking of which, Seattle could be a great spot for Meeks as well, as playing with Pete Carroll would be beneficial for both parties. Other landing spots include New England, to help replace Malcolm Butler, or Philadelphia, who still is seeking DB help. Other Stanford players: Stanford has a few other players with NFL eligibility who hope to make a roster next season. Two other Cardinal were invited to participate in the NFL combine, offensive lineman David Bright and linebacker Peter Kalambayi. There are questions as to their NFL ability, and they may end up falling all the way through the draft. David Bright did not end up competing in any combine events due to injury, but has been a solid line piece for the Cardinal during his tenure. He has served as a captain, played at four different spots along the line, and was a team captain. Bright might end up being drafted simply for his versatility and drive; he has a lot of football intangibles that coaches look for in a locker room presence. At the very least he will be signed to a roster for camp, with a chance to compete for a final spot on a practice squad or 53-man depth chart. Peter Kalambayi is an incredible athlete, but he is almost more of an athlete than a football player. He has so many gifts and flashes incredibly on tape for highlights, but other times he fades completely into the background. Scouts are concerned that as a fifth-year senior, any potential for football would have been coached out by David Shaw and the Stanford coaches. If he keeps his nose to the grindstone and works hard, he could prove to be a solid special teamer and backup rotational linebacker in a 3-4 system. Again, he could go undrafted and compete in camp for a spot, but his NFL future seems hazy and no surefire guarantee. There are also a few players for Stanford who were not invited to the combine. Chief among them is Ryan Burns, the ex-starting quarterback for the Cardinal, who has attempted to transition into a long snapper and has worked out for several teams. Watch for his name to pop up in the undrafted free agents after the draft. And for any NFL team looking to add fullback competition, keep an eye out for Daniel Marx, the solid fullback who blocked for Bryce Love last year. With the amount of heavy personnel that Stanford employs, Marx got a ton of experience, and has proven himself as a great blocker. He could find himself in a camp, or even on a starting roster. The NFL draft begins tomorrow at 5 p.m. Major sporting networks will have coverage, and as usual, David Shaw will join NFL network to break down the Cardinal prospects as well as all the other schools.

While statistics vary, it is commonly believed that close to half of all marriages will end in divorce. For those couples in Maryland with children, transitioning into a co-parenting relationship after a divorce can be difficult. This is often uncharted territory for parents, and many are still going through their own emotional reaction to the divorce while they begin the process of sharing parenting duties with their former spouse. It will take time and effort to settle into new roles as co-parents, and the following tips are offered in the hopes of easing that process.
Above all else, both parents must avoid speaking ill of each other in front of the children. This is a vitally important aspect of life after divorce, and an area in which many parents fail. Children create their own identities around those of both parents, however, and when one parent runs down the other, it can harm the self-esteem of a shared child. It also places children into the uncomfortable position of having to take sides. The best approach is to find things about the other parent to praise; if that is not possible, divorced parents should aim to simply remain neutral when discussing the other party.
Another important factor in successful co-parenting is the establishment and support of similar routines and rules between both households. Children thrive when provided with structure and discipline, and when the rules are not the same at Mom's house as they are at Dad's, a great deal of turmoil can result for both parents and children. By working together to create a solid base similarity on issues such as discipline, homework, bedtimes and curfews, parents still have plenty of room to create variations in other areas.
The bottom line in co-parenting is cooperation between parents. In the first few months following a Maryland divorce, this may seem like an insurmountable goal. However, parents who can set aside their differences and work to structure a positive experience for their children can reap a number of rewards. Not only will the kids experience a more peaceful and stable transition from a combined household to separate homes, but the parents can also benefit from knowing that even though their marriage may have ended, they are able to create and sustain a positive parenting partnership.

Top 5 Suresh Raina knocks in ODI innings
Suresh Raina has been drafted into the ODI side after his Chennai Super Kings teammate Ambati Rayudu failed to clear the mandatory yo-yo test and this will be Raina's best chance to stake claim to be a part of India's World Cup contingent.
The southpaw has not featured in ODI cricket since the South Africa series in October 2015. However, he has been a critical part of the Indian T20 side - against South Africa and in the Nidahas Trophy against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Here in this slider, we take a look at the top five Suresh Raina innings in ODI cricket in his career so far.
#5 100 vs England, Cardiff
England won the toss and elected to bowl first under cloudy skies in Cardiff and their bowlers vindicated the decision of their captain as they got rid of Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli rather cheaply.
Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane put their heads down and grafted a stand of 91 runs for the third-wicket.
However, when Rahane and Sharma were dismissed, Suresh Raina joined his captain MS Dhoni at the crease and it was the southpaw put up a show for everyone present in the ground.
He clubbed a century in 75 balls, which was his first three-figure score in four innings and it propelled India to 304 in their 50 innings.
England never got going and India won the match by a convincing margin of 133 runs.
#4 84 vs England, London
Another effort against England, another match-defining partnership with MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina bailed India out of trouble yet again in England back in 2011.
England won the toss and elected to bowl first again and had India in a spot of bother when they reduced the visitors to 110 for four wickets.
Suresh Raina then joined MS Dhoni and the duo put together a stand of 169 for the fourth wicket.
Raina played an innings worth 84 in 75 runs and this helped India post a total of 280 in their first innings.

Campus Connections For a Perfect Future
You may not think of school as a place for networking; but in reality, it's a gold mine of potential connections. If you manage your time and studies right, these connections have the potential to help you secure your first internship, full-time job or even a future promotion. Cultivate these relationships now and you'll have the opportunity to help others as well.
Most professors are excited when they see a student is excited. They enjoy seeing someone who has the same passion and they appreciate those who go the extra mile. If you have a class that really interests you, make an appointment to speak with that professor. What else can you learn from them? What was their career path like if they did something before teaching? Can they recommend a career path, a company or an internship to you? A professor can be an incredible mentor. He or she can also be a reference for you when you begin to apply for jobs.
If you attend a smaller school, it can be easier to get to know your advisors. Similar to professors, advisors can serve as mentors. They may be able to recommend classes, internships or a career path based on your interests. They may have connections with alumni as well. If you build a good relationship with your advisor, they can also serve as a reference and speak to your dedication, follow through and ability to work under pressure.
Throughout the school year, there are often opportunities to interact with alumni. Some universities have panel discussions that include alumni and others have more casual events. You may also find that alumni volunteer at the university career center. They may practice interview skills or share information about internship or job openings and career paths at their company. Visit your career center to find out if there are any opportunities to interact with alumni. Ask questions. Learn from them. But most importantly, connect with them and stay in touch. Again, let them know what you're interested in so that you are the person they think of when they hear of an opening.
Career Fairs
Whether you're ready to look for a job or not, career fairs are a must. Visit the companies that interest you or those in industries that align with your major. Ask the representatives about their career path and what specific skills, classes or characteristics they look for in employees. Collect business cards and ask representatives if they would mind a follow up by email. Write a simple thank you email and then make it a point to check in every 3-6 months. You may eventually be ready to tell them you've completed certain classes or acquired certain skills and are interested in finding out if any internship or job positions are available. Connecting in advance shows you really want to be there and you are a determined professional.
Other Students
Whether your university is large or small, you will be surrounded by students. If you have the time to get involved in a club or group for your major, that is a wonderful way to make mutually beneficial connections. These students will likely be looking for jobs in the same industry as you. They may find a job opening that doesn't suit them, but pass the opportunity along to you so that you can apply. They may graduate or secure a job before you. If that's the case, they can notify you about openings at their company. Many companies actually have referral programs.
Good networking is all about thinking outside of the box and the best connections are made when you are genuine. Don't be afraid to ask questions, get to know people and express your future goals. You never know where one conversation will lead.

HONG KONG—The first of six race days of the Hebe Haven Yacht Club "Quest Yachting" Typhoon Yachting Series took place on Sunday June 8 with 61 boats taking part.
Typhoon Series races generally take place covering island courses outside Shelter Cove to match wind conditions and the categories of boats taking part. IRC-A and -B boats normally cover additional legs to that of their slower counterparts, but good boat handling and navigational capabilities are required for all classes.
Take for example the first of this year's races, visibility was very poor off Sai Kung last Sunday, probably as low as 800 metres so navigational aids were needed even for the more experienced sailors knowledgeable of local island layout.
Race-1 was due to start at 11am but wind conditions were only light and from weather predictions wind direction was expected to change as the day progressed, increasing the complexity of setting the courses. Race Officer Lesley Anderson finally got the IRC-A and –B boats away at 11.40am followed by three more waves (IRC-C, IRC-D and Sports Boats, and finally HKPN) at 5-minute intervals.
All boats followed the same course: Club Mark, Table Island, Steep Island Mark, Bluff Island, Bay Island, Table Island and finishing off Little Palm Beach.
Race-1 Winners
"Hua An" took line honours and 1st place in the IRC-A followed by "Signal 8", "Ambush" and "Vineta". "FreeFire" although registered for the series did not take part on this first race day.
"Lighthorse" was first across the line for IRC-B boats, but "Mojito" took first place on corrected time, "Sell Side Dream" came second and "Lighthorse" was placed 3rd.
"Dexter II", "Vixen" and "Gearbox" were placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively in IRC-C category. "Rampage" took line honours, but finished in 4th place on corrected time.
"Calamansi", a new boat to the Hebe yacht races took line honours in IRC-D and came second on corrected time, but it was "St Happens" that took 1st place with "Taxi" coming in 3rd.
The spectacular "Brace Brace Brace" was 12 minutes ahead of the second placed boat "Black Magic" in the Sports Boat category, but this only gave "Brace" 6th place on corrected time. "Black Magic" took 1st, followed by "Sidewinder", "Ricochet" and "Good Vibrations".
"Surfdude" took line honours in the 21 boat fleet of HKPN competitors giving her 2nd place on adjusted time. "Dea II" came 1st, with "JeNa PaBe" and "Jazz" in 3rd and 4th places respectively.
Next Races
The next races in the Typhoon Series take place on June 22 when two geometric races will be held. This coming Saturday June 14 is the start of the Hebe Haven Summer Saturday Series.

How Jesus Provides The Perfect Example As A Fighter Of The Faith
Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000 (message contributor)
Summary: While there are many battles not worth the effort, there remain some causes that are worth fighting for.
While there are many battles not worth the effort, there remain some causes that are worth fighting for. Paul writes, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Cor. 10:4-6) Christ-like weapons do not include prideful anger, arrogance or intellectual philosophizing. Instead, Jesus teaches us how to fight for noble causes in a way that exhibit all of His Godliness, wisdom and grace.
1. Jesus stood up to religious authorities that tried to discredit His reputation. The Lord maintained the highest level of dignity, truth and self-control in the face of stinging slander. Jesus said, "You claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub. Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out?. . . But, if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you." (Luke 11:19,20) Do not back down when people try to discredit you for a wide variety of motivations. Unflinchingly faced your critics with the certainty of whom you believe.
2. Jesus waged war against sin, corruption and greed. Jesus said, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed, a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." (Luke 12:15) The Lord knew the insidious nature of greedy people who think they can control others through the power of money and possessions.
3 . Jesus waged war against sin as an enemy of holiness. The root cause of everyone's problem is sinful desires. For this reasons Paul says, "The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace... The sinful mind is hostile to God." (Rom. 8:6-8) Everyone who is serious about improving their life must be a warrior against sinful impulses.
4. Jesus waged war against infidelity. The Lord knew that every person is tempted to stray from those whom we have pledged our faithfulness. Jesus said, "For this cause, a man and a woman shall leave their Father and Mother and the two will become one flesh."
5. Jesus waged war against rebellion, treason and disloyalty. Jesus said, "Render to Caesar, the things that are Caesar's, but to God the things that belong to God."
6. Jesus waged war against broken families. The Lord wanted every child to be loved and raised in the nurture and instruction from the Lord.
7. Jesus waged war against loneliness. When the Lord saw Zacchaeus, the infamous tax-collector who had betrayed his own people, He said, "Come down Zacchaeus, for I would like to stay in your house." (Luke l 9)
8. Jesus waged war against hypocritical criticisms. Jesus said to the Pharisees when they brought an adulterous woman to Him, "You are without sin, cast the first stone." The oldest and wisest Pharisees left first because they were convicted by His wisdom.
9. Jesus waged war against faulty judgments. The Lord said, "In the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Matt. 7:2)
10. Jesus waged war against apathy and indifference. The Lord said, "A new commandment I give to you that you love one another as I have loved you. By this will all men know that you are my disciples because you have love for one another." (John 13:34,35)
11. Jesus waged war against the devil and all that was evil. "Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. . . Jesus said to him, "Away from Me, Satan! ! For it is written,'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only."' (Matt 4:10)
