|Confidence in the Prophetic Gift
Read for This Week's Study:
Ps. 41:9; Isa. 53:4-6; Matt. 23:28-31; John 5:39; Acts 10:9-16, 44-48; 17:11.
Memory Text:
Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper (2 Chronicles 20:20, NKJV).
|Some folks were interested in joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church. They had come to accept the teachings of the church through their study of the Bible, but had questions about Ellen White. After all, with so many false prophets and false teachers out there, they wanted to be careful. Knowing their concerns, and understanding them, the minister said to them: This is something you have to come to on your own, through a personal conviction of the Holy Spirit. Take time to read her writings. Some things will resonate clearly with you right away; other things you might have questions about. But just read the books yourself and then come to your own conclusion about them. In the end, her writings are really the best and ultimate testimony regarding their origins.
The Week at a Glance:
Why must the Bible be our final doctrinal authority? How important is Bible study in our lives today? What happens when people ignore the prophetic word? What role should miracles have in establishing our faith? Why do people rebel against the prophetic gift?

Biblical Authority
What parallels do you see between the experience of the disciples after the Crucifixion and the early Advent believers after the Great Disappointment in 1844? Luke 24:1327; Acts 10:916, 4448.
The disciples experienced their great disappointment at the Crucifixion. They had hoped Jesus would redeem Israel; as they watched Him ride a donkey into Jerusalem in fulfillment of Zechariahs prophecy, they were certain that He would set Himself up as their king, drive out the Romans, and establish Gods kingdom on earth. Only after His death, when He had opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures (Luke 24:45, NKJV) did they see for the first time that He had come for a different purpose. In other words, even with all those years of Jesus being in their midst, even with His plain testimony, they made mistakes, they still didnt understand what the Scriptures had taught. Jesus pointed them to the Bible, and on that they were to base their beliefs.
Read Acts 1:6. What does this say about how even after Jesus was with them after the Resurrection, they still were carrying false ideas about what His coming meant?
The early Advent believers also experienced a great disappointment because of William Millers mistaken view that the sanctuary in Daniel 8:14 was the earth. And just as Bible study and Gods supernatural interventions had helped the disciples to shed their mistaken views, so, too, did the early Advent believers come to a new understanding of the sanctuary truth through their study of Scripture and by Gods guidance in the prophetic ministry of Ellen White.
In the end, however helpful the prophetic gift was, our pioneers were determined to base doctrines on the Bible without using the prophetic gift as a doctrinal authority.
Today, too, the strength and certainty of what we believe as Seventh-day Adventists must be based on the Word of God alone. Once we are certain of our doctrines from the Bible, and work from that firm base, we can truly have confidence in the prophetic gift.

Into the Word
Why did the Bereans study the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true? Why did they not trust his words? Acts 17:11.
Because Paul preached Christ from Scripture, showing that He was the promised Messiah, those who heard him with an open mind where driven to study the Scriptures for themselves to see if these things were indeed so. In other words, even Pauls words werent good enough. They had to be confirmed by the Bible.
What do the following texts tell us about the importance of the study of Scripture? Prov. 2:1-6, Isa. 34:16, Matt. 4:4, Rev. 1:3.
Ellen White consistently lifted up Gods Word and encouraged church members to study it. I recommend to you, dear reader, the Word of God as the rule of your faith and practice, she wrote in Early Writings (p. 78). In the introduction to The Great Controversy she wrote, In His word, God has committed to men the knowledge necessary for salvation. The Holy Scriptures are to be accepted as an authoritative, infallible revelation of His will. They are the standard of character, the revealer of doctrines, and the test of experience.Page, 9.
Why did the prophets throughout history admonish Gods people to read and study Gods Word? The reason is simple: God gave His word to men as a revelation of Himself. Every new truth discerned is a fresh disclosure of the character of its Author. The study of the Scriptures is the means divinely ordained to bring men into closer connection with their Creator and to give them a clearer knowledge of His will. It is the medium of communication between God and man.Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 69.
Ellen Whites writings are never to be used in place of the Bible; on the contrary, she spent her life trying to get church members to read the Bible and make it the rule of faith for their lives.

Pointing to Jesus
Jesus said: You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me (John 5:39, NKJV). What do the following Old Testament texts tell us about Jesus? Ps. 16:9, 10; 41:9; Isa. 53:46; Mic. 5:2.
Jesus said, Abraham rejoiced to see my day (John 8:56), Moses . . . wrote about Me (John 5:46, NKJV), and David [called Me] Lord (Matt. 22:45). He began His ministry in the synagogue at Nazareth with the words of Isaiah, The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor (Isa. 61:1, NKJV). Jesus then said, Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing (Luke 4:21, NKJV). Jesus knew that the Old Testament was replete with references to Him. He was the central figure in Israels hope.
The biblical authors from Moses to the apostle John directed their readers to the One who would come first to save His people from their sins (Matt. 1:21) and a second time to deliver them from the presence of sin (Rev. 21:4).
Following in the footsteps of the biblical prophets, Ellen White consistently pointed people to their Savior Jesus Christ. Whatever may have been your past experience, however discouraging your present circumstances, if you will come to Jesus just as you are, weak, helpless, and despairing, our compassionate Saviour will meet you a great way off, and will throw about you His arms of love and His robe of righteousness.Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, p. 9. And she admonished ministers to make Christ the center of everything. Put Christ into every sermon. Let the preciousness, mercy, and glory of Jesus Christ be dwelt upon until Christ is formed within, the hope of glory.Evangelism, p. 186.
Repeatedly she emphasized that Jesus was very real to her. I know my Saviour loves me, and I love my Jesus. I rest in His love, notwithstanding my imperfections. Manuscript Releases, vol. 4, p. 245. Jesus was the center of her ministry. The object of all ministry, she said, is to keep self out of sight, and to let Christ appear. The exaltation of Christ is the great truth that all who labor in word and doctrine are to reveal.Selected Messages, book 1, p. 155.
|Forgetting for a moment about doctrine and theology, ask yourself this basic question: How well do I know Jesus? What does your answer tell you about yourself and your spiritual life? What changes might you need to make?
|March 25
The Blood of the Prophets
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets (Matt. 23:28-31).
What do Jesus words have to say about the attitude that many have had toward the prophets? What lesson can we draw from these words for ourselves?
Despite all the evidence for the integrity and validity of Ellen Whites ministry, even among us there are those who are, in a sense, spilling the blood of the prophets. Among us, as in ancient Israel, there are those who in various ways, subtle and sometimes not so subtle, are working to destroy confidence in the prophetic ministry of Ellen White. It has been that way from the beginning, and we can be sure it will be right up to the end, as well. Just about every charge leveled against her and her works are similar to the charges leveled against the prophets of old and against the Word of God itself.
Reasons for these attitudes vary (see Fridays lesson). Some people have elevated her writings to a level that is inappropriate, and so others have reacted to that, sometimes going too far in response. Others have a false understanding of how inspiration works, and because her writings do not fit that understanding, they have turned against them. Some speak, perhaps, out of ignorance; others, perhaps, from mean-spirited hostility. Fortunately, we arent to judge motives or hearts. We simply have to be able, as Peter wrote, to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear (1 Pet. 3:15). In the end, each one of us will have to make a choice, ourselves, regarding the voices we listen to and believe.
|What is your own attitude about the writings of Ellen White? Why do you hold them? Think through your reasons for those attitudes. Are you open to change, if need be?
|March 26
The Gift and Miracles
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them (Matt. 4:24).
Think about the ministry of Christ when He was here in the flesh. Time and again, Jesus performed miracle after miracle. Whether turning water into wine (John 2:111), feeding the five thousand (Matt. 14:1421), healing the sick (Matt. 4:24), or raising the dead (John 11:145), Jesus punctuated His time here on earth with miracles, a powerful testimony to His divine power.
Read Luke 24:13-27, the story of Jesus and the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. What did He point them to in order to persuade them that Jesus of Nazareth was, indeed, the Messiah? Why is that answer so important to us, particularly in the context of the prophetic gift?
Despite all the miraculous things that Christ did while here, He pointed the two disciples to the Word of God and from the Bible alone worked to teach them the truth about His death and resurrection and what it all meant.
This point shouldnt be overlooked. Over the years, there have been numerous accounts of the miraculous ways in which the Lord worked through the ministry of Ellen White. Some of these accounts are more easily verifiable than others. Either way, in the end, our belief in the manifestation of the gift should not rest on accounts of miracles and so forth. Though they might have a role, the ultimate test must always be the Word of God and how the gift harmonizes with the Bible. Miracles are fine, but they are hardly the final test and mean nothing if the teachings are unbiblical.
As with the inspiration of the Bible, questions remain about the manifestation of the prophetic gift in the life of Ellen White. Yet, the gift speaks for itself and gives the best testimony and witness regarding itself. Theres little that we, or accounts of miracles, could or should add. More than enough evidence has been given for anyone to make an informed decision regarding the gift, regardless of the unanswered questions that we who see through a glass, darkly (1 Cor. 13:12) might still have.

Further Study:
|Read Ellen G. White, Attitudes Toward the Testimonies, pp.
40-48 in Selected Messages, book 1.
Opposition or indifference to the writings of Ellen G. White usually is the result of: (1) a failure to read enough of her writings to recognize and understand her overall and well-balanced instructions; (2) a failure to understand the proper relationship of her writings to Scripture; (3) a failure to recognize the true nature of divine inspiration; (4) a failure to recognize the principle of time and place in connection with the counsel she has given; (5) a failure to acknowledge that her counsels are still relevant today; (6) a failure to recognize that while sufficient evidence is given to convince the honest in heart, the Lord does not remove the opportunities for doubt; (7) an unwillingness to make a personal sacrifice of some cherished habit or practice that seems out of harmony with the counsels given in the writings of Ellen G. White.
Most opposition to the Spirit of Prophecy would disappear: (1) if people would stop using some pet sentence or paragraph as a club with which to hit somebody else; (2) if everyone would apply the counsels to themselves instead of trying to apply them to someone else; (3) if we would not quote her without knowing where the quote is found (there are too many apocryphal sayings in existence); (4) if we would not discuss something she wrote without having studied everything she wrote on a particular topic (partial knowledge can be more dangerous than no knowledge at all); (5) if we would recognize that peoples failure to live up to or carry out the counsels that Ellen White has given has nothing whatsoever to do with the reliability of the visions and instructions.Based on Denton E. Rebok, Believe His Prophets (Washington, D.C.: The Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1956), pp. 309-312.

|I N S I D E Story
|The Drunkard and the Tailor
by FULGENCIO CHALUFOIA
I was a drunkard, and my drinking robbed me of everything. But a humble tailor helped me find my way back from the edge of hell.
I live in Mozambique. I kept my drinking a secret until I was married, hoping that I could stop. But I was powerless to stop. After we were married, my drinking only got worse. Sometimes I was so drunk I beat my wife, and she threatened to leave me.
I went to a witch doctor, but he could not help me conquer my addiction. Finally my wife had enough; she left me.
Desperate to stop drinking, 1 bought a Bible and began attending church. One Sunday on my way to church, I met a tailor working in his roadside shop. "Where are you going?" he asked.
"To church," I replied.
"Why are you going today?" he asked. "Yesterday was God's Sabbath day." Curious, I stopped. The tailor told me that God had the answer to my drinking problem and offered to teach me the Bible. The tailor could not read, but he knew the Bible. He sat down beside me, opened a notebook filled with Bible references, and pointed to one. "Look up this verse," he said. I found the Bible verses and read them. Then he explained what they meant.
We read many Bible texts, and the tailor explained each one to me. Finally he told me to read Exodus 20. I read the Ten Commandments, and suddenly I realized that the Bible was filled with new truths that I had never read before.
I asked the tailor what church he belonged to, and he told me the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He invited me to worship there the following Sabbath. I promised to be there as I continued on to my church to tell my friends what I had just learned.
The next Sabbath I found the Adventist church and worshiped there. In that church I found God's grace and the power to overcome alcohol and tobacco. It took some time, but with God's help, I never smoked or drank again.
My drinking had cost me everything-my job, my wife, my home. But God has given me my life back. I am happy in Jesus, and I have invited my friends to find Jesus as well. So far at least 15 of my friends have discovered God's truth and joined the Adventist church because I shared with them what God has done for me.

On November 23, 2011, a suspect only identified as Nicholas was intercepted in Pakwach while trying to dispatch 10 pieces of Ivory weighing 27 Kilograms, Warthog and Hippo teeth. Wrapped in small packages, he handed them over to his in-law, a charcoal transporter for delivery to Kampala. One Okello was to receive them in Kampala. Despite being concealed in the charcoal, the enforcement personnel recovered the items in addition to arresting Nicholas. He was handed over the UWA Personnel.
And on, January 27, 2012 URA enforcement personnel recovered 10 Kilograms of Monitor Lizard skin, which were being ferried out of Uganda via Lake Victoria. However, the person, who was exporting them, disappeared.
The other items including 99 pieces of polished Ivory, were recovered in recent incidents and have since been in the URA warehouse pending hand over to UWA.
On 4 April 2009, 100 pieces of ivory weighing 35 Kilograms were recovered from a Kampala bound bus along the Mbarara-Masaka highway.
On 21st December, 2010, a Chinese National, Li Wejian was arrested at Entebbe International Airport while trying to export jewelry and other pieces made out of Ivory. The items were confiscated and he was immediately deported to China.
On 15, July, 2011 enforcement personnel at Katuna, South Western Uganda recovered 54 Kilograms of Ivory, which one Keita Mousa had smuggled from Bujumbura to Kenya via Kampala.
On 9, January, 2011, enforcement personnel at Mpondwe at the Uganda-DRC boarder recovered 250 parrots, which were smuggled to Uganda. They were handed over to the Uganda Wildlife Education Center.
URA's ROLE VS A VIZ WILDLIFE
The East African Community Customs Management Act prohibits trade in items like Ivory.
While monitoring imports and exports to ensure compliance with regulations, URA assists institutions like UWA in the fight against trade in wildlife.

Discover some of America's natural beauty on a Tennessee River cruise. Winding for 886 miles in a U-shape across four states, (Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi), the river's name is believed to be a derivation of the 18th-century Cherokee village, Tanasi, which was formed upon its banks. Like its sister rivers the Ohio and the Mississippi, the Tennessee River carries a rich and varied history.
The Tennessee was originally navigated only by flatboats, thanks to a shallow upper course filled with short rapids. During the Civil War, the north-flowing lower section of the river was vital to Union troops who used it to invade the western Confederate region. Cruises often visit important Civil War sites such as Shiloh National Military Park.
These days, the broad, blue river is a key component of one of the world's greatest irrigation and hydropower systems. It is home to an important series of locks, dams and reservoirs, whose waters typically widen to small, calm lakes just before each of the nine locks.
Boats pass beneath eye-catching bridges like the bright blue John Ross Bridge in Chattanooga, TN, or the "Steamboat Bill" in Decatur, AL, where you'll also find Wheeler Wildlife Refuge and the North Alabama Birding Trail. You might also cruise through the Tennessee River Gorge, a 27-mile-long river canyon downstream from Chattanooga, flanked by richly colored woods and home to ospreys and bald eagles.
Cruises on the Tennessee River are often part of longer itineraries that also sail the Mississippi or Ohio Rivers. These cruises provide terrific value for your vacation dollar, as accommodations, onboard meals and some excursions are covered in one affordable upfront price.
River cruises are rated according to the quality of the vessel and its accommodations, the number of included amenities and activities both on and off the ship, the class of hotels used for land portions of itineraries, and the level of service delivered. The river cruises below are categorized according to the industry rating scale (budget, first class and deluxe). Click any cruise name for the itinerary, dates and prices.

This is the time of year when the Girl Scouts have their cookie drive, and my wife had ordered some (as usual – she's always spending money on "worthy causes"). On Saturday, the wife and kids went into town to do some shopping and she said they'd be gone 'till after suppertime, so I was on my own for the whole day! It's VERY infrequent that I get a day to myself at home, and planned to use the quiet to back up my hard disk and do some general clean-up around the room that the computer is in.
And so it went for about an hour, when I started downloading some GIF pictures. I didn't recognize the name of some of them, so spent a few moments perusing the pictures of the naked ladies in all their glory, doing what naked ladies do best! Then it occurred to me that I could pull out some video-tapes of some hard-core porn flicks and watch them for awhile, since I was alone. Usually, it's late at night when all the kids are in bed that I get a chance to see them, and usually the wife gets bored and goes to bed anyway, so I haven't watched them in a long time, and this seemed like as good a time as any to let my mind wander off into fantasy world. So I found where they were hidden and grabbed a cold beer on the way to the VCR. I put in the tape and got it started, then built a fire in the fireplace, thinking I'd cozy-up on the floor next to it with an Afghan and pillows and watch about 6 hours of fucking on television.
About 10 minutes into the first movie, the doorbell rang. Living in the country, about the only time we get anyone at our door is the church groupies on Saturday afternoons, and they're usually hard to get rid of, so I decided to leave the movie on with the sound turned up. That should really piss 'em off.. they'd be so embarrassed, they'd leave in a HURRY!!
So I unlocked the door and began opening it, listening in the background to some loud moaning and groaning, with occasional dialog such as "…FUCK me… OOOOHHHH YEEESSSSSSSS…" etc., etc., etc….
However, to MY embarrassment, it wasn't the church people after all! It was the mother of one of my daughter's friends, delivering my wife's order of Girl Scout cookies! She had her arms full, and since it was in the mid-30's outside, I asked her to come in and set the cookies down on the table near the front door. Needless to say, when she realized what the sounds were that she was hearing, she turned a deep shade of red!
Then she asked what I was watching. I told her about how I turned up the sound to piss off the church groupies that usually came around on Saturday afternoons, and so forth. She thought that was as funny as I thought it was gonna be. Then she asked which movie I was watching. When I told her, she said she hadn't seen that one herself. Her husband usually rented porno-movies for "special" nights at her house, when their daughter was staying over-night at a friends' house (usually mine!).
So, being neighborly, I asked her if she'd care to take a few minutes out of her rounds to watch some of the movie. Her response was that our cookies were the last to be delivered, she'd been on the rounds for a couple of hours and was kinda worn out, cold, and was ready to relax. She'd planned on going on home, of course, but, "…why not?"
Now, I didn't know her very well, had only met her on a couple of occasions, usually in dropping off my daughter at her house, or she dropping her daughter off at mine, and those were only for a few minutes. She seemed like a nice enough lady, for sure, but I'm usually quiet, shy, reserved, and not much for small talk. I really didn't expect her to say "yes" to my offer! Questions raced through my head about what I'd tell my wife if they ever talked about how this lady watched porno-movies at my house….
She took off her coat and handed it to me, so I hung it in the closet in the hallway near the door while she walked into the family room where the movie was blasting away. When I got there, she was sitting on the edge of the couch, elbows on her knees, hands cupping her chin…and the biggest shit-eatin' grin on her face…and red as a beet! I turned down the volume to a reasonable level and asked her if she wanted to join me in a beer, or if she'd prefer a glass of white wine instead, or maybe a Pepsi? She opted for the wine…her husband might get a little suspicious if she came home with beer on her breath after delivering cookies!
When I came back from the kitchen with the glass of wine, she had gotten a little more relaxed and was leaning back on the sofa, eyes glued on the television where "the blond" was deep-throating a huge cock. When I stuck the glass of wine in front of her face, the grin reappeared with the blush. She didn't say anything, but took the glass and sipped at the wine, while I sat in "my" chair half-way across the room and grabbed my can of "Blue," then focused on "the blond" doing her thing. I couldn't help but think of this stranger sitting less than ten feet away watching this movie on my television with me…. I couldn't even remember her name! (It was Linda) Occasionally, as scenes would change, I'd glance over to her to see how she was doing. Our eyes would never meet, but I could sense her movements…her hands would approach her pussy, or she'd seem to rub against her tit with her upper arm, or something subtle like that….
This went on for what seemed like a long time, but was probably only ten or fifteen minutes. Then, her voice broke the ice in the room when she asked for a refill. Startled, I jumped out of my chair and seemed to grab the glass out of her hand and headed for the kitchen. As I reached into the 'fridge for the wine bottle, I realized that she followed right behind me…. I asked her what she thought of the movie so far. She replied that, in her opinion, this kind of movie didn't really do much for her, that she watched them with her husband because they seemed to do a LOT for him, and that she could take them or leave them.
I asked her if I should turn it off, and she emphatically said "NO! Please, leave it on! I've been looking for an excuse to get to know you better, and I'm glad your wife isn't home." She was now near enough to me that I could almost feel her without touching. I didn't know what to do next! How should I act? It had been YEARS since I'd had an affair with another woman against my wife's knowledge…it lasted almost 2 years before she found out…. What with working a lot of hours, and keeping up with the 8 acres of lawn, and keeping four cars maintained, the computers, etc., I hadn't given a lot of thought to "other women" in a long time! Well, yes I had, but had not taken any initiative to get to know anyone since we moved to this remote location almost ten years ago. Besides, I was younger then…what possibly could this near-stranger want with a seemingly-loyal husband of her daughter's friend's mother?
My head was swimming with a lot of doubts and questions when I felt her hand on my zipper. I realized I hadn't yet poured the wine, and nearly spilled it as my zipper was slowly being pulled down, but I managed to fill the glass and push the cork back onto the bottle. Not knowing whether or not she wanted it now, I picked it up and sheepishly turned toward her. With her left hand on my zipper, her right hand surrounded mine on the wine glass, and she slowly lifted it to her lips, looking deeply into my eyes while she downed the whole thing! Then our hands together set the glass on the counter and she moved them to her breast, as she moved ever-so-close to me and reached her lips toward mine.
We kissed. Slowly, she removed both her hands and surrounded my body with them, rubbing up and down my back. I reached my arms under hers and pulled her tightly to me. We continued kissing, sucking now on each others' lips, tongues fighting for space, breathing heavily…as I realized my wife and I hadn't kissed like this since we were first married.
She broke the kiss and slowly moved down my chest and on down to my belt, undid it, opened my jeans and lowered them. I wasn't wearing any shorts (never do on weekends), and she seemed surprised at that, letting out a little gasp! As her lips surrounded the head of my now-hard six-inches, I looked at this lady, I think, for the first time. I'm 5'7″ tall, and when we kissed she was several inches shorter than me, so she must have been about 5'2″ or 5'3″. As I looked down at her, she was looking up to my eyes, watching the expression on my bewildered face. She had my cock deep into her mouth, going back and forth, up and down it's shaft, sucking, licking, kissing it's head, all the while her eyes looking into mine, those beautiful big blue eyes seemed to smile. She was enjoying this as much as I!
Only in my wildest fantasies had anyone ever done this to me, for me…and here it was happening for real! My wife would NEVER consider doing anything like this! The only time we "had sex" was in bed with the lights off, usually in the missionary position, or sometimes, rarely, she'd get on top and ride me. But in the kitchen? In broad daylight? Giving me head? In the middle of the afternoon? NEVER!
While my mind raced on, thinking of my wife, Linda lifted my left leg to pull off my jeans, then the right, then reached up and unbuttoned my shirt, all the while she never let my cock out of her sucking mouth. Now, here I am stark naked standing in the middle of the kitchen on Saturday afternoon with a practically-strange neighbor-lady sucking my dick!
Eventually, the sensations began to have an impact on my brain and it occurred to me that I should return some of this great immense pleasure to her, so I reached down and gently took her by her upper arms and lifted her back to a standing position, where I firmly planted my lips onto hers and resumed the wonderful kissing she had aborted earlier. This time, however, I reached down and lifted her sweat-shirt up toward her shoulders. I unfastened her bra clasp, broke the kiss, lifted off the shirt, pulled the bra down her shoulders and off her arms, kissing my way down her neck to her right breast, finally stopping at the nipple. I gently bit it and heard her let out a slight moan, so I kissed my way over to her left nipple and did the same thing, with the same result. While sucking and nibbling at that nipple, I unfastened her jeans, lowered her zipper as slowly as she had done mine, then carefully eased the jeans over her round little ass and on down to the floor where she immediately stepped out of them.
Now clad only in her white bikini panties, shoes and socks, I began a slow descent toward her blond mound, my hands working on the nipples that my lips had just left stranded. I managed to get the top of her panties with my teeth and eventually had them pulled down to her thighs far enough to be able to bury my tongue in her moist slit. Not only did this strange lady look beautiful, she tasted wonderful as well! The last time I'd tried to eat my wife, she smelled like she hadn't bathed in weeks, and it was not very stimulating! But this woman had an aroma that said "sex"! I felt like a teenager with his first piece of pussy! My tongue worked her clit, each hand was squeezing a boob or pinching a nipple, and my ears heard an approving moan that was asking for more and more! I felt Linda's hands push on the back of my head while her hips ground toward my face, when she let out a scream of pleasure that told me I'd done my job! She was trembling and breathing so heavily, I wondered why my wife and I had never tried such an adventure.
When her spasms subsided a bit, I removed my tongue from her clit and lowered my hands to her hips, and raised up to face her again. She kissed me hard, her tongue probing my mouth almost like that of a snake. Her eyes were closed and she had me in a bear hug so tight that her nipples almost dug into my chest, and my upright cock was planted firmly against her abdomen…I was almost fucking her naval! She then released me from the hug and backed away about two inches, opened her dreamy eyes and, backing up, pulled me back toward the family room where another porno movie was now showing, her smiling eyes never leaving mine.
We got to the sofa, where she again sat on the edge of the cushion, pulling me down toward her. Again we kissed. I was kneeling in front of her, between her and the television, lips locked, her arms tightly around my neck. Then she pushed me backward and sat precisely on the tip of my still erect member, she still wet from her earlier orgasm and my tongue. But she didn't allow me to penetrate her pussy beyond the head. Her hands now pushed against my shoulders as I leaned back, eventually to lay on the floor with her towering over me, her tits sort of dangling in front of my face, my cockhead just barely between her cuntlips. Again, I looked into her eyes, wondering what she had in mind. This woman had the sexiest eyes I'd ever seen! And those sexy eyes were looking deeply into my own!
I heard a woman on the tube yell out an orgasmic scream just as Linda's pussy engulfed my own rod. She just kind-of sat there for a few minutes, almost milking my cock with her pussy-muscles. It felt tremendous! She then slowly moved up and down the shaft, still squeezing and releasing with her cunt, especially as she got to the head of my dick. We had been going at this for almost an hour and I hadn't even thought about cumming until I felt those cuntlips milking my cock, but I managed to hold off when she eased back down it until it was buried all the way in. Her eyes were now closed, her head back, her lips forming the biggest smile I'd seen on a woman's face. She was truly remarkable…pretty, a beautiful woman, the smoothest skin I'd touched since I'd first touched my wife when we were barely twenty, and this woman had to be at least our age of 40! How did she keep so slim and trim?
As she rocked slowly up and down, side to side, gyrating her pelvis, our pubic hairs meshing together, I could feel my cock throbbing against the inner walls of her being. I wanted to stay in this position forever. She was so HOT inside! Her boobs, probably about 34-C's, swayed with her bodily movements. I thought about how much I'd like to tit-fuck those beauties! But instead, I buried my nose between them, kissing her chest between them, holding myself up with my elbows as she leaned toward my face, her hips continuing the rhythm against my groin. We were a perfect "fit"!
Then she started bucking and trembling and almost pouncing up and down on my shaft. I tried to counter her thrusts with my own, and the sounds of the slapping of her wet cunt against my groin were overwhelming! I couldn't hold back, nor did I want to try! I could feel my balls about to burst, and pulled out of her pussy so I could cum! She yelled "WHAT the FUCK do you think you're DOING? PUT THAT BACK WHERE IT BELONGS!" She then reached down and grabbed it and, lining up her hips, sat back down onto it just as I exploded! At the same time, she screamed and fell onto me!
We just laid there for a few minutes, letting our breathing gradually return to normal. Then, I reached across the floor and grabbed the Afghan that I was going to curl up with, and pulled it over her nakedness. She raised her head above mine, looked once again into my eyes, smiled the biggest smile again, then collapsed once again against my chest as I wrapped my arms around her and closed my eyes, not wanting this moment to ever pass.
Unfortunately, it had to. After what seemed like an eternity, but was probably about fifteen minutes, she slowly pushed herself up and off, my still hard cock slapped against my abdomen when it was released from her hot cunt. With the Afghan draped over her body, she turned and moved down once again to my dick and licked her juices from it, then put it, in its proud entirety, all the way into her mouth. Not sucking now, just sort-of slurping with her lips, wrapping her tongue around it as she moved up and down it. Then she stood straight up! So I got to my feet and tried to reach her to hug her once more. She backed away, her eyes on my dick, her hands at her side, a look of wonder on her face, she said "How do you keep it so hard for so long? My husband's goes limp the instant he shoots his load?" I stammered, "Well, I don't know, actually, that usually happens to me, too…I don't know…um, ah…."
Then she raised her eyes to mine once again, smiled, and practically jumped into my arms as though we were long-lost lovers meeting at a train station after World War II or something. She was SO hugable! And that's precisely what we did, hug each other for a long, long time, her head against my shoulder, arms wrapped around my neck, my arms wrapped around her slim body, my right hand cupping her ass-cheek, giving it an occasional squeeze.
Then she said, without moving, that she'd never planned this, that it just "happened," and that I should not think any less of her because of it. I thought to myself, how could I think less of her because of such a beautiful experience? And what came out of my mouth was "Oh, darlin'… oh, my oh my,…" and that was all!
She broke the embrace, pushed herself away and RAN to the kitchen to retrieve her clothing. I just stood there! My cock was still standing at attention when she came back a few minutes later fully dressed. She was staring at my jolly roger when she handed me my jeans, then kind-of giggled a cute little giggle.
"That'll be twenty bucks," she said, nonchalantly, still smiling.
"Huh?" I responded, somewhat startled.
"For the cookies!" she replied, with another chuckle.
So, I reached in my jeans for my wallet, pulled out a twenty and handed it to her.
She looked back down at my erect penis and said, "What are you going to do with THAT?"
I answered, "I don't know, but I'm sure it'll be gone before my wife gets home!" She then reached down and wrapped her left hand around it, and said, "Where'd you hang my coat?"
I glanced toward the closet, where she led me by the dick, not letting go until after she'd gotten her coat off the hanger and was ready to put her left arm into the sleeve. She then looked once more into my eyes and said, "Thank you, it's been the most wonderful Saturday afternoon I've ever had." She then turned her back to me and walked out the door. I just stood there and watched as the door closed behind her.

Why do I schedule things first thing in the morning? I thought one of the perks of being a stay-at-home-mom was staying in your p.j.'s and never having to wear make-up or fix your hair if you didn't want to. But for the second morning this week, I'm running low on time because of getting ready for early morning appointments. Not complaining, just saying I'd like a few more of those p.j. days!
Oh, yes, she did fix her own hair.

A feud between Lady Gaga and DJ Calvin Harris, who has worked with artists such as Rihanna, Ne-Yo and Florence Welch, broke out via Twitter recently after an interview Calvin had with BBC Breakfast.
He told the host that he declined the opportunity to work with Mother Monster on her music back in 2008, claiming that at the time he was just too busy with other projects. But it somehow came out that he wasn't too impressed by her.
Although the Twitter battle was over in the matter of a few hours, it caused a lot of buzz among fans. So Calvin sat down with 92.3 NOW/New York to clear the air.
"It all came from this thing four years ago…It was a remix request that her label sent me. I wasn't in the studio at the time, so I said I couldn't do it," said Harris.
"And then it came back last week," continued Harris. "[It was reported] that I said 'no' to a collaboration request, which wasn't the case."
Clearly offended by what was reported, Gaga tweeted:
Seems to be trendy lately to talk shit about "lady gaga" when your albums/singles drop. Y'all should live off your own hustle. #Ido
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) October 29, 2012
According to Gaga, she never even contacted the Scottish DJ to work on a collaboration.
never even emailed you @calvinharris I guess it's hard to believe I write + produce my music.cuz I'm a woman I don't know about EDM right?
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) October 29, 2012
But Harris quickly explained the situation and apologized for the misunderstanding. Glad that the issue was resolved, Gaga also apologized and congratulated Harris on his new album.
@calvinharris thanks for the apology &explaining. My apologies too. Congratulations on your album. Wish you well. Cheers.
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) October 29, 2012
Glad that's all cleared up. Twitter to the rescue.
-Maria Bonello, 92.3 NOW/NYC

There's a silver lining to the Great Recession: Prices on everything from coffee to cat food are falling to unheard of levels.
For those who still have jobs, the low prices are a huge boon, and for those who are out of work, paying less for necessities can make it a little easier to get by. Items rarely discounted - like Tiffany engagements rings - are now. The two biggest purchases most people make - homes and new cars - are selling at steep price reductions.
"This is the new normal," says Donald Keprta, president of Dominick's, a supermarket chain in the Midwest, which just cut prices by as much as 30% on thousands of items. "We aren't going back."
Retail sales remain sluggish, and more than half of the people surveyed recently by America's Research Group and UBS said they are shopping less. But when they do shop, most go to stores with lower prices or wait for sales before returning to their favorite retailer, according to the survey.
It isn't just retail prices on everyday items. Hotel rooms cost travelers nearly 20%, on average, than last year, the biggest decline since Smith Travel Research began collecting data in 1987. Home prices have dropped 30% from the peak in 2006. Overall, prices are tumbling at the fastest rate in decades.
The government's Consumer Price Index, which measures the average price of goods and services purchased by households, has fallen 1.5% over the last 12 months. The reading for July showed a 2.1% annual decline, the biggest since 1950.
U.S. & World
"The deals are unbelievable," said Karen Wiolmes, a Rhode Island mother of two as she browsed a supermarket. "We put the money I save toward something else."

Photos by Frank Bodenmüller
The 2008 Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano kicks off this weekend in Manavgat, Turkey.
A total of 120 Elite riders are entered for the first marathon event, which will follow a 90km circuit along the foothills of Manavgat.
All the top Marathon riders will be at the start line on Sunday: the winner of the 2007 World Cup,Thomas Dietsch (Gewiss Bianchi), Alban Lakata (Dolphin-Trek Mountain Bike Racing Team), Marzio Deho and also Julio Carlo Da Silva (Gewiss Bianchi). It is also worth mentioning the presence of Miguel Martinez, the 2000 Olympic Champion and multiple World Champion.
In the women's competition, the 2007 World Cup winner, Pia Sunstedt (Sweden), is definitely the favourite. Only Austria's Fabienne Heinzmann (Dolphin-Trek Mountain Bike Racing Team) and Switzerlands' Esther Süss appear capable of providing her with serious competition.
The riders' aim is clear: win the first World Cup of the season, receive the new leader's jersey and above all win points that are important for the overall victory of the Marathon World Cup.
This year, the World Cup consists of two legs, Manavgat and Ornans. This competition in France will close the season on October 5th 2008.
The winners of the World Cup in Manavgat will have the honour of wearing the new leader's jersey. For the first time, the leader's jerseys are identical for all the disciplines ˆOlympic cross-country, marathon, downhill and four-cross.

½ C flour
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp garlic powder
4 lbs short ribs
2 lg Carrots, chopped
1 Onion, chopped
3 Celery sticks, chopped
8 cloves Garlic
1 -2 T Poblano Pepper, finely chopped
2 C Red wine
2 C Veal stock
28 oz can San Marzano Tomatoes, pureed
6 oz can tomato paste
1 T chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped (to desired heat level)
2 T Molasses or agave
3.5 oz bittersweet or Mexican Chocolate, grated
1 Cinnamon stick
bay leaf
10 dried apricots, chopped
30 toasted almonds
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained, optional
*potato skin recipe to follow
*sour cream
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Pat ribs dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then lightly dredge in flour spice mix. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pot over medium high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown ribs on all sides in batches, turning occasionally, about 6-8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a bowl.
Add carrots, onion, celery, garlic, and poblano peppers to pot and sauté until onion is translucent. Add wine, tomatoes, and paste. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, for another 6-8 minutes and allow the sauce to thicken a bit. Add all remaining ingredients (except beans) and ribs back into the pot. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Add more chipotle pepper in adobo if you want more heat.
Cover pot tightly with foil and braise ribs until very tender, 3 to 4 hours. Skim off any excess fat from surface. Using tongs, remove the ribs and transfer to cutting board. Remove any loose bones, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick from sauce and discard. Using an immersion blender puree sauce in pot. (alternately use a blender and return to pot after) Add black beans if desired. Allow to heat through. If serving whole….return ribs to pot until ready to serve. If serving over potato skins or in tacos…carefully cut the membranes off each piece of meat. Remove all bones. Using two forks, pull short ribs apart so it has a shredded appearance. Transfer meat to a bowl and cover with desired amount of sauce. Leftover sauce can be frozen in an airtight container.
*If making these as short rib potato skins:
Potato Skins:
10 Russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and dried
Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and bake them in the middle of a preheated 400°F oven for about an hour. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, halve them lengthwise, and scoop them out, leaving a 1/4-inch shell and reserving the potato pulp for another use. Turn oven up to 425°F. Brush potato halves with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake them in the middle of the preheated 425°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown. Serve the potato skins filled with short ribs, and top with sour cream and chopped cilantro.

Wednesday 24 Sep 2014
This week on the show, Graham Norton is joined by Twilight superstar Robert Pattinson, Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon, House star Hugh Laurie and comedian Shappi Khorsandi.
Hot from the premiere of the new movie, Water For Elephants, Reese and Robert talk about the insanity of people camping out for 32 hours to see them.
Graham reminds Robert that in a previous interview, whilst talking about working with Ty the elephant star of the film he had said: "She is the best actor I have ever worked with."
Acknowledging Reese's (mock) indignation, Robert says: "I am continually saying the wrong thing and it's come back to haunt me, especially as I am now sitting next to the other best actor I have ever worked with."
Admitting they had both fallen in love with their four-legged co-star, Reese says: "She is amazing, thoughtful and communicative." And Robert says: "I genuinely thought we had a real bond, a little something going on."
Talking about performing her own stunts for the movie, Reese says: "The first couple of times I did it I was terrified, some of the things we were doing were insanely dangerous. We didn't have safety equipment, but it was amazing and incredible."
Denying she tried out the stunts out on her own pet donkeys, she says: "No, they are for putting in the car and taking pictures of."
She also confirms the rumour that the elephant farted in her face: "I was standing underneath her and I couldn't see anything and then I thought I heard a gun shot and I hit the floor, I came out from under her and I was like, 'oh my god what the hell was that?'"
On working in the US, Robert says: "When I first went to LA it was very easy to convince people I was a member of the royal family. I told people I went to RADA with Prince William. People would think, 'You're English, I completely believe you.'"
Talking about her fans, Reese says: "One girl said, 'I only have one question for you. Can I smell you?' I just thought it was completely bizarre. My fans are invested in my personal life, they give me love advice, which sometimes works out and sometimes doesn't! I met a guy called George yesterday, he said he likes my new husband… he's never met him."
Robert adds: "I think I have a much more simplistic reaction with fans – they like screaming. There is an overwhelming amount of energy, they've only got one thing to say and its screaming – it's really powerful."
He also reveals he had an over enthusiastic fan and says: "I was doing a movie in Spain and at the time only had one fan. She was hanging around outside my apartment for ages so I invited her out for dinner. She took me to her parents' restaurant, which was miles away and I had to pay for a taxi, we had disgusting food and I had to pay for the meal. She never came back again… it was the strangest thing."
Robert, playing down his heartthrob status, says: "My sisters were abusive – they used to give me a pony tail! They don't see me as a heartthrob and say if I hadn't discovered hair gel I was just the tall guy that got to buy alcohol for them."
Hugh Laurie pops in to chat about his new blues album and on his new career as a musician, says: "It's a dream like experience. I'm looking forward to reading about it in five years time when it will feel real. It's what I've always wanted to do absurd as it may seem. I've had this amazing opportunity to reinvent myself and I took it with both hands." On his gigs he says: "They were the three most frightening experiences of my life."
Confirming the album release was delayed because of the Royal Wedding he says: "We did push it back a little bit to make way for the nuptials." And, with tongue firmly in cheek, adds: "We didn't want to steal the limelight."
On the huge international success of House, Hugh says: "It is rather large, rather substantial, I can't account for it. It is such a densely wordy show that I can't imagine how it gets translated well enough. House is so idiomatic, so extremely witty and well written it's extraordinary to me that people are prepared to get into it."
Shappi makes a plea for her lost cat to come home and talks about her tour and benefit gig at the O2.
Hugh performs You Don't Know My Mind from his new album live in the studio.
And, finally, Graham pulls the lever on foolhardy members of the audience brave enough to sit in the red chair.

Banning For Off-Topic Trolling
Liberal trolls believe, apparently, I should simply copy and paste the front page of Firedoglake and Talking Points and Daily Kos and that I'm required, as all readers are required, to discuss precisely what the liberals think we should be discussing today.
I'm tired of seeing off-topic baiting about the Libby trial we're avoiding (newsflash: it's been covered, but there's no verdict yet) and now, of course, the new issue we're all avoiding, the subpar treatment of wounded fighters at Walter Reed.
Does anyone believe the liberal trolls really "support the troops," by the way? If that's the case, it's odd how their first priority is making partisan hay, rather than actually trying to, you know, increase awareness of the issue.
This is my blog, and I get some degree of input as to what's covered here. If Mureigo wants to influence the public discussion, I suggest he start his own blog and start doing so, rather than hijacking my blog and trying to mau-mau me into writing the blog he'd like to read.
Further attempts by liberal trolls to spam threads with the crap they read on liberal blogs will be met by banning.
That's the way I roll.
That's not to say that people can't discuss whatever they like, generally, in the threads. Hey, have fun.
But I'm sick to death of lefty trolls attempting to dictate that this become, essentially, a leftwing blog, and their determination to spam any thread they think isn't sufficiently catering to their partisan needs.
Do it again, you get banned. That simple.

Area hospitals report they are prepared for the storm as it approaches, and some remain in business as usual although patients appear to have been cancelling appointments.
At Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester, some patients were bumped to have appointments earlier in the day and some workers were allowed to go home early.
The hospital has generators in case the storm takes out power, a spokeswoman said.
Gina M. Smith, director of emergency management for UMass Memorial Medical Center, said the command center is staffed in case of any emergencies. There are generators ready and there is a power plant at the main campus.
"We're pretty comfortable on power," Ms. Smith said. "We have extra fuel for generators and supplies have been stocked at each site."
Thomas Nutile, a spokesman for Harrington Hospital said no cancellations were made at the hospital's facilities in Southbridge and Webster.
"We do not plan to shut down and we are open," he said.
Day Kimball Healthcare Services in Connecticut closed these services at noon today: All Day Kimball Physician Practices and Physician Services of Northeast Connecticut, all Day Kimball Healthcare Centers; the Behavioral Health Clinic; Outpatient Diagnostic Imaging Services at Day Kimball Hospital; Outpatient Laboratory Services at Day Kimball Hospital; Franklin Home Health; The Walk-In Center at Lathrop Road in Plainfield, Conn.
The Day Kimball Hospital will remain open for business as usual including the emergency room.

SeaMonkey 1.0 is out!
As I said a while ago, I'll stop using Mozilla Suite as my browser when SeaMonkey 1.0 or Flock 1.0 comes out, whoever comes first. Well, it seems that SeaMonkey won.
As we can read here, this version was released yesterday, and it has some exciting features, from which I find the most interesting the "drag&drop reordering of tabs". I now wonder if Linux distributions will choose to define seamonkey as a replacement of mozilla suite or if they'll define it to be a fork, and thus maintaining both browsers. I hope they choose the first.
In the meanwhile, those developers could get some time in doing a better logo, since this one sucks in a black background, as you can see...
