Alice in Wonderland was fantastic! Definitely a must watch. What more when Johny Depp is being so pretty in that movie. Seriously, of course, his acting was the best but he looks really pretty and charming. I've always love him for his talent and good looks :)
Awish was sleeping the whole time and I constantly kissed him on the cheek. I just can't resist his cuteness. Daddy said he'll reformat everything in my laptop. Because using Ubuntu was fun at first but now, with no flash player, no MSN, no sounds, no movies, I'm starting to get frustrated with this laptop. I asked Daddy to turn it back to Windows but forgot that I got to have a cd external. Which, of course, I don't have. Tried Daddy's external but couldn't work because it's Mac's. So now I'm still stuck with Ubuntu. Maybe soon? I hope. I want to rebuild everything for my laptop. As everyone knows, my laptop was my brother's before he got his current Macbook. You see, my brother loves to like, stick things on his umm, things. He has patches of stickers on his guitars, on his mac's body, everything! This poor little laptop wasn't an exception for being his sticker victim. That was how my laptop became a guitar hero's board. My plan is to get rid of all the guitar hero stickers and substitute it with more glitters! You know the ones you get on your phones? Yeah, I was thinking to stick them on my laptop. Wait till you see it, it'll be amazing, I just know it. I'm so excited! I tend to excite alot lately. I don't know why.

Healing Through Attachment in the Couple
Work, sex, money, kids, time, and mess. Surely if you and your partner could just agree, your relationship would be better. Not quite.
Relationship difficulties aren't about the logistics, but instead about how we relate to each other — how we connect to each other. PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) was founded by therapist and neuropsychologist Dr. Stan Tatkin. PACT helps couples:
1) Understand the ways in which early childhood experiences shaped how our partner experiences him/herself, the world, and others, including us;
2) Develop a user manual such that we know how to read and respond to our partner's needs;
3) Cultivate a "couple bubble" marked by secure functioning in which pro-relationship, rather than pro-self, choices meet the needs of each partner and the couple.
PACT promotes loving, safe, and secure relationships through its use of attachment theory, affect regulation, and neurobiology. PACT sessions typically last between 2 to 3 hours and many couples notice rapid shifts in their relationship. Thus, only a few sessions are often all it takes.
PACT is appropriate for couples at every stage of connection from newly dating through together for decades. PACT can also be used to help individuals who are single approach dating with mindfulness.

2019 Toyota Highlander Moline IL
Remember back when everybody was concerned about what would happen when the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve 1999, heading into the year 2000? It was a weird time, but Toyota wasn't worried. They were too busy building a new utility vehicle that would very quickly become the incredibly popular Toyota Highlander, and just two decades later the 2019 Toyota Highlander in Moline IL would be turning just as many heads as the original model.
After a fairly substantial mid-generation facelift for the 2017 model year, the new Highlander hasn't undergone many changes at all. Even still, it makes a great option in the midsize crossover segment, offering a great blend of performance, efficiency, utility and so much more. It's packed with outstanding content that's sure to help you enjoy every experience you have on the road.
Specs & Features of the 2019 Highlander
Let's first touch on performance. Powered by a 3.5L V6 engine, the 2019 Highlander is capable of generating 295 horsepower alongside 263 pound-feet of torque, while achieving 21 miles per gallon through the city and 27 mpg on the highway. In the lower, more inexpensive trim levels, a smaller 2.7L 4-cylinder engine replaces the V6 to offer 185 HP, 184 lb-ft. of torque and 22 mpg combined fuel efficiency.
Although performance is a key spec regardless of segment, more important to a crossover like the Highlander is space. Behind the back row of seats is just 13.8 cubic feet of space, which is about the size of a sedan trunk. However, dropping those back seats flat opens up a whopping 42.3 cu. ft. of space, meaning that most likely the only time you won't have an overabundance of space to utilize is when you have to squeeze passengers into that back row. If 42.3 cu. ft. still doesn't cut it for certain loads, then you can drop the middle row as well to open up 83.7 cu. ft.
These specs & features only begin to scratch the surface, so if you're interested in learning even more about the 2019 Toyota Highlander don't hesitate to give us a call right here at Hiland Toyota.

We're worth it! Right???
I just finished a Dutch blog on my new blogsite, Als je begrijpt wat ik bedoel, about being worth it. It was something my GF wrote about in her new Dutch blog site (sometimes things are easier written in your own language), Een nieuwe weg. The name of my blog means "If you know what I mean" and hers is " A new road".
Some recent happenings made GF wanna blog again, but now in Dutch. I thought it was a nice idea and started a Dutch blog as well. I find myself now busier than ever, as I feel the urge to blog about the same kind of topics (though often slightly different in the way they go). Now I still have some time to do it, but I do feel that in the (near) future I will have to choose. Either write in Dutch or in English. But I guess I will then just follow the flow, follow my feelings and write in the language that is right for that occasion. Ah well…
But being worth it. I just wrote a long bit about it and as stated above, I have no idea if my brain just wants to write this same kind of blog again, but in English, or maybe I might make a different turn somewhere. So if you are interested, and you are able to read Ducth, I ask you to just check my Dutch blog out as well.
When are you worth it? When is someone else worth it? How can you add worth to someone or yourself? That value, is it like a market value? Down one day, up another? Or is it more stable? More dependable?
Some advertisers really work this line: because you're worth it. How would they know what you are worth? Of course, there is the literal way of seeing it and the figurative way. The one sells their product to people who believe in it. The other just doesn't make any sense.
How can someone just say that you are worth it without knowing you? That someone could be speaking to a murderer, rapist, abuser… Are they worth the same as a victim to one of those crimes, to a one-parent family doing it's best to make ends meet, to anyone and no one in perticular.
I have to admit, I have said to people, lovers and/or friends, that they were worth something I did for them making them thank me. I have said it to only a few people as when someone is really worth it, they are often very dear to me. They have been there for me when I needed them. As have I been for them, when needed. It's all about knowing and trusting people. People who haven't let me down, who have treated me with all respect, honesty and by all means open… People who have touched me, my heart, my life. They are worth a lot to me. Can they mess up their worth to me? And this question could also be asked of me, could I mess up my worth to them?
In my honest and humble opinion, I could mess it up. I could do even more than that. I am honest, open and direct. And those are both my best as worst points. So with that, it would be more than possible for me to upset someone enough…
And of course people who have gained my trust, became worth more, so to speak. I value their opinions more than others, I respect them because of who and how they are. But they also know me well, know my "do's and don'ts", so to spreak. Or write in this case… And if they would do anything that is on my "not to do list"… It would mean nothing good. But what is even closer to me than a dear friend? Yes, a faithful lover. And who knows my lists, my wishes, my silly quirks and all best? Yes, that lover.
So what should I do if that faithful lover isn't as faithful as I hoped she was? What if I wasn't worth the truth and really, I wasn't even supposed to find out that I wasn't worth it??? And of course, knowing me and who I am, I would find out. Some things sooner and others later. But the truth will out, as I believe I mentioned in my blog yesterday.
Why wasn't I worth it? Why did she believe telling lies to me, over and over, was her best option?
Her biggest problem in all this may just be me. Well, who and how I am and live and see the world. Because I have always sucked at social interventions, I have always been better in observing. I observe so much, I see so much, notice so much. And the better I know someone, the more I seem to think to know about this persons' habits. And sometimes, knowing all this through all those observations, it can work as a detection system. And unfortunately, also a lie detector, or so it seems. I have blogged about being honest in the past. And I have blogged about some issues that GF and I had in that past. And I have blogged a bit about the problems we still have now. And as one who has read those posts might be able to state: we have a problem. Well, more she has a problem. And because we're together, it's my problem as well.
She appearantly loves to lie. All white lies, well most of them, all meant to protect her, to alude me. Most are made because she made mistakes she wanted to cover up. And then there are the ones where she lied to me to be with others. As far as I know, never anything sexual or something as bad as that, but still… It really hurts. It put down my faith in her. It blew away my trust in her. But underneath it all, there is still this wonderful young lady, sometimes a girl,stuggeling to get through the day.
She made me feel like I was worth sh*t when I found out. And, again as I blogged about it before, I had talked about this before with her. I had tried to explain why honesty is SO important. I talked, cried, yelled and got mad. I had tried it all. And now, once more, I got confronted with her lies. And she got mad with me because I didn't trust her. I think it was more that she got mad because deep inside she knew that asking me to trust her was wrong. I am still wondering if she would have ever come clean with all she had lied to me about in the past. I am still flabbergasted about the amount of lies she made me believe. Even when confronted…
Am I worth it?
I know she is working on it and I want to support her. For her sake and for mine. Because if she ever lies to me again, both she and I know that the wedding is off. I know she is a good young lady, I know she is raised in a certain way. I know so much, but appearantly, I don't know it all. Or some things I think I know might still be uncovered lies…
Is she worth it?
Is she worth all these sleepless nights, or nights filled with nightmares? Is she worth all these troubles, all these doubts and this really big ache inside of me? I still tend to believe and say yes. I have promised I would be there for her, all the way, so I can not simply let her fall. But she needs to do a 180 in a new direction in order to make it worth it. To make us succeed. To make us come out of this a million times stronger then we went in this. Well, when I got us into this by trusting my feelings over her words…
Are we worth it?
Yes, I believe we are. I will fight for it, I will stand strong until my legs can't take me anymore, I will remain open and honest as I have always been. And I hope all this is good enough motivation for her to do change. To stop the bad stuff from happening ever again. To help both me and herself understand on how we got this far. How she got herself, and me with it, so deep in this sh*t. I want to get out. I need to get out. But I want her at my side when we do get out. One step at a time…
Because we're worth it!

The 23rd Annual New Orleans RV Show wrapped up Sunday (March 9) with a healthy 14% increase in attendance compared with 2013. According to a press release, the three-day event was held at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner, La.
"This was our strongest New Orleans Show in about five years, with all participating dealers reporting very good results," said Bart Caple, spokesperson for BAC Productions LLC, noting the show posted strong numbers despite competing against the New Orleans Boat Show at the Superdome.
Caple reported that many in attendance were still new to the RV lifestyle. "Our preliminary research showed that 57% of the attendees were at the show for the first time while 63% did not own an RV," he said. "It reinforces the fact that public RV shows are important to the industry, helping bring people into the marketplace."
Area dealers said they enjoyed steady traffic and sales during the event. Comments included:
• Walter Scott, owner of Scotty's Camper Sales, New Iberia: "We had a great show. There were a lot more serious buyers this year than the last few years. We're very pleased. Our best show in several years"
• Hoytt Adcock, president, Blanchards Trailer Sales, Baton Rouge: "Such a great turnout. Many buyers and soon to be buyers attended this show. We were very pleased with our sales. Much better than last year."
• Jeremy Bradley, general sales manager, Dixie RV Superstores, Hammond: "There were better quality attendees this year. There were also many first time buyers who attended. We did very well with entry level Class C motorhomes as well as travel trailers. Overall, it was a great show for us."

Across the Pond: Jordan Smith Interview
British artist Jordan Smith spreads her wings as a recent art school graduate and finds new potentials in her artwork. In this recent interview with Jordan I sat down to find out what inspires her and how she discovers herself as an artist.
Jordan Smith is a recent graduate from University of Wolverhampton with her Masters Degree in Fine Art. This British artist is jumping head first into her life as an artist now that she has completed school. Her work usually involves different, multiple conflicts and oppositions that combine abstraction and the use of text. The multiple layers of painting are applied by staining the canvas to create her desired forms in an organic manner. Her work recently has begun to experiment more with the surrounding space at it looks to interact in the environment it is placed in.
1. Have you always been an artist?
Yes. From school and then university, I have always loved art and creating things, it's the only thing I've wanted to pursue over anything else. I couldn't imagine being anything else.
2. Are you a professional fine arts artists or do you do other work?
I wish I could say that I am a full time artist; but I have a 'day job' to help pay bills!
I currently work in fashion retail as a Visual Merchandiser. I wanted a job that allowed me to be still be creative and use my artistic skills. It is a bit like being a curator in terms of layout and display of products. It can sometimes sound glamourous but it's very physical and I have a lot of unsociable hours.
I also complete many commissions, which can vary from portrait drawings to leather jacket paintings for wrestlers. Anything creative that someone needs I like to be of assistance!
3. Did you study art in University, if so what was your concentration?
I studied a BA Fine Art at the University of Wolverhampton, and also went on to complete a Masters in Fine Art there also. I'm hoping to complete a Phd at some point in the future; but for now I want to just make a mass of work to find who and where I am as an artist.
4. If you could meet any artist who would they be?
Dead - Pablo Picasso
Alive - Gerhard Richter
Both are incredible influential, I am almost always in awe of their work when I view it first-hand so it would be great to discuss work and maybe see their studio. I find seeing works and artists within their studios so fascinating!
5. If you could take 6 months off to work on your artwork somewhere anywhere in the world, where would that be?
Paris. In a large attic studio, with a balcony, above a patisserie - all of the croissants! Does it have to be six months?!
I've only been to Paris once when I was about 17 for a school art trip. I literally fell in love with everything there; the buildings, the food, the galleries just the overall Parisian atmosphere. Which may be to do with the added glamorisation of the city through films and literature; either way it is beautiful and would love to work there at some point in my career
6. What are you most inspired by?
I am inspired when I'm in conversation with other creatives; artists are often seen to be in solitude, hidden away in their studio never to interact with people. Though I find it more motivating to be with other like-minded people discussing our work, art or anything in general.
Films, music and writing are also influential to my practice. Overall, I think I am truly inspired to create when I'm happy, and have a general good life balance. I find dependant on what music I'm listening to when painting can have an direct influence on how and what I paint too.
7. If you had any piece of advice to artists just starting their careers what would you say?
Create! Stop overthinking and make work. Sometimes striving for perfection and overthinking leads to not producing anything at all. Art is about progression and development; it is very rare that someone has success without a back catalogue of hard work.
Having bad work is better than having no work. You can't talk about or improve on anything if you have no work.
-Saying that I think I may have to take my own advice from time to time!
8. Why do you prefer abstract compositions?
I started out actually, painting and drawing portraits and figures; but after each new body of work I made, they began to develop into more abstracted figures. Which continued to just develop into more form-like; unrecognisable as figures (but with the intention of them still being figures while creating them). Now more so they have just become abstracts, while I experiment with installation/sculpture and painting.
I love it when they can be a little ambiguous and each person looking at them can all get a different response from them. The viewer brings themselves and their experiences into the painting, trying to decipher it. Rather than a typical figure or landscape where the artist has already given you the answers.
9. What role does color play in your paintings?
I use colours to help encourage the physical sensation of the work and to portray to the spectator of possibly the scale of the work (in terms of my larger pieces). The colours that I use are sometimes an unconscious decision or a factor from something I've been inspired by.
I've recently reduced the amount of colours I use in paintings too which I think it could be to do with the emphasis on the gestures or the sculptural aspect so that they weren't 'too busy'.
10. What is it like to be a female artist?
I used to think labelling myself a 'female artist' would automatically brand my work in a stereotypical way (anti-man, body issues); but to me I was just an artist making work, my gender didn't really come into it.
Having a gender neutral name can often lead people to assume that I am a male artist. This affects me at some level, I don't know entirely know why this is; as I feel I want people to know my paintings are made by a woman. Maybe it is to do with the male dominating Abstract Expressionists which my work can often sit quite close to in similarities or that I am a female and them viewing it as male might change their viewing experience of my work? I'm not sure I'm still trying to work it out.
I do feel happy to create work as a female artist; but gender doesn't really come into it when I initially create the work.
"Stop comparing yourself to others."
-Jordan Smith

Surrounded by the lofty peaks of Grandfather, Hanging Rock, Beech, and Sugar mountains, this ski resort bills itself as the "highest town in the East." The massively ugly condo tower you'll see on top of Little Sugar Mountain (not a part of the Sugar Mountain ski resort) is the only scar on the scenic beauty of the area. At least something good came of the monstrosity—it so outraged local residents that it prompted the passing of a ridgeline law preventing future mountaintop development.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Net stocks led a broad market decline Tuesday, as investors shunned Lycos' proposed marriage to USA Networks. A power outage, meanwhile, knocked out the Silicon Valley hub of wholesale Net provider UUNet.
Internet stocks fell across the board: portals, access providers, online traders, commercial-site operators, all felt investors' sting. The Goldman Sachs Internet Index $gin dived 8.4 percent, while the Amex Internet Index $iix slid 6.7 percent, dragging the Nasdaq down 3.91 percent. The Nasdaq suffered its third biggest one-day point drop ever.
Some of the biggest losers:
--Ticketmaster Online CitySearch Inc. (TMCS) tmcs , off 15 1/2, or 26.8 percent, to 42 1/4;
--Lycos (LCOS) lcos , down 33, or 25.9 percent, to 94 1/4;
--AmeriTrade (AMTD) AMTD, +1.27% , which slumped 14 15/16, or 18.7 percent, to 65 1/16;
--theglobe.com inc (TGLO) TGLO, +8.11% , which lost 9 3/8, or 16.4 percent, to 47 7/8;
-- and Network Solution (NSOL) nsol , 26 1/8, or 15 percent, lower to 148.
Bay Area blackout
While Internet stocks spiraled lower Tuesday, some web users were temporarily unable to get accurate reads on what was happening because of trouble at UUNet. Spotty Internet access was reported in the San Francisco Bay Area throughout the morning and early afternoon, though service is now back on track.
Problems at UUNet,an MCI WorldCom subsidiary, lasted for about two hours and were isolated to the Palo Alto area, said spokeswoman Megan Lamb. She attributed the Bay-Area wide power outage to severe rain storms.
"Sometimes natural disasters happen," she said.
Yet some customers say Internet disruptions with UUNet are not uncommon. One technical support official at a Bay Area internet service provider, who asked not to be named, said: "That's actually been happening more often than I'd like to think in the last few months."
Lamb said she was unaware of such problems. MCI WorldCom (WCOM) WCOM, +0.23% shares dipped 2 5/16 to 76 3/4.
Carnage is widespread
While Internet companies got pummeled along with the rest of the market, the decision by Lycos to accept a buyout offer from USA Networks greased the slide in Net stocks. Investors were not happy with the deal, a complicated three-way transaction that also includes Ticketmaster.
The deal proved a boon to USA Networks (USAI) USAI, +0.29% shareholders, however. See full story.
Other search engines also sustained big declines. Yahoo, (YHOO) yhoo , the only remaining independent portal operator, fell 17 7/8 to 140 3/4. Excite (XCIT) xcit swooned 8 to 85 1/8. Infoseek (SEEK) SEEK, +9,900.00% dropped 7 7/8 to 57 1/4. And CNET (CNET) CNET, +0.00% tanked 25 3/4 to 98 1/2. AOL (AOL) AOL, -1.75% , the largest provider of online service with 16 million customers, tumbled 11 to 148.

After going through the Arab section of the old City it was noticeable how much more chilled people were in the Jewish quarter

Loved seeing this historic place.
All the quarters were interesting and had their own character but I really liked this one.
The Jewish quarter is filled with history. A good place to be to watch people. Learn of their faith.

U.S. Open champion Roger Federer was asked tonight whether Novak Djokovic was ready to unseat Rafael Nadal as the second best player in tennis.
"I guess Nadal is still No. 2, but it's getting closer," he said. "It probably depends who finishes better at the end of the year."
"No. 2, No. 3, doesn't matter much," he continued. "It's No. 1 that matters."
And there's no one else close.

Ferrari has not one, but two examples of the 812 Superfast on display at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
Finished in a special red shade called Rosso 70 Anni, the first one may not be as striking as the yellow example spotted a couple of weeks ago, but its head-turning ability is there, and just in case you missed it, there's a second one, with a Grigio Caldo Opaco body color.
Developed to celebrate the brand's 70th anniversary, the new Ferrari 812 Superfast is the most powerful production machine the Prancing Horse has ever come up with (LaFerrari is a limited edition). It uses a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that delivers 800 PS (789 HP) and 718 Nm (530 lb-ft) of torque to the rear wheels, through a tweaked 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
This is the first Ferrari to introduce the Electric Power Steering (EPS), and it also benefits from the Virtual Short Wheelbase (PCV) 2.0 system, which combines the electric front steering assistance with the mechanical concept based on tire dimensions and rear-wheel steering, making it more agile.
Ferrari's display of power in Geneva includes some special Tailor Made offerings, such as a 488 GTB inspired by the 290 MM driven by Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1956 Mille Miglia, finished in Rosso Corsa and with a Blu Laguna and Giallo Modena livery.

Grab a cuppa and possibly something to eat. This is going to be a long blog post and you will be hungry by the end of it. Also, if you're vegetarian then I'd recommend looking away now. This is not a post for you.
Back in Tokyo and, of course, lunch equals ramen. But this time we put a variation on a theme and went for burnt miso ramen.

Elizabeth R. Smith
Elizabeth R. Smith studied art and illustration at Western Washington University and completed the University of Washington Natural Science Illustration Certification in 2013. Her work focuses on plant and animal subjects in a variety of media, including watercolor and graphite. She prefers working with subjects that she can see in person, including local wildlife and the residents of Woodland Park Zoo, where she is a frequent visitor.

How did you get to gorillas?
When I was a child I discovered gorillas at the zoo and through nature shows on television. They were memorable then, but seeing them now through adult eyes is a more touching experience.
What do you think makes gorillas so special?
When I visit the gorillas at the zoo I feel strongly that I'm sharing a moment with them. It isn't a matter of me observing them, but of both of us observing each other. We gaze at each other and I wonder what they're thinking. Do we amuse them? Irritate them? I can see intelligence in those eyes and I'm sorry that I don't know how to communicate with them. This sense that gorillas and humans can almost speak to each other seems to infect many zoo visitors who grow deeply attached to the gorilla residents and make regular trips to visit them.
How do you think your work can help gorillas?
All of my artwork is motivated by a love of the natural world and a desire to share that love with others. I hope that my portraits of gorillas will engage the viewers' curiosity about the individual gorillas and about the genus as a whole, improving the chance that those people will support conservation efforts on the gorillas' behalf. The world would be a lesser place without these beautiful creatures.

How does the reduction in stomach acid help progression of cancer?
- Researcher: Professor Mark Pritchard
- Institution: University of Liverpool
- Award Amount: £198,467 for 3 years from March 2013
- Cancer Type: Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer is a common and life-threatening disease, which nearly always develops in people who have had a long-term infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. One of the pre-cancerous stages of the disease is called "atrophy" which destroys some of the acid-producing cells in the stomach. As a result, the pH within the stomach becomes higher than normal, making it less acidic and more alkaline (known as hypochlorhydria). Studies in mice have shown that this elevated pH allows other microorganisms, such as bacteria, to start growing in the stomach, where they would not normally survive. It is believed that the presence of these bacteria contributes to the development of cancer within the stomach. Curiously, however, long-term use of acid-suppressing drugs does not have the same effect. Professor Pritchard is therefore going to use his new Worldwide Cancer Research grant to study the stomach environment in mice that develop cancer following Helicobacter pylori infection, in the hope that the studies will identify molecules that indicate those people who are more likely to develop cancer. If he identifies such molecules, these could be used to develop a better screening programme for patients who may be at risk of developing stomach cancer.

Big Goals
We have reached the last month of the first quarter of 2019 already!! I really do believe time is speeding up and sometimes I wonder if I am getting left behind. ;) In January you probably like I did some reflection on the previous year and set some new goals for this year. Last year I set some pretty big goals for myself both personally and in ministry. Some of those goals I met, a few I didn't even come close. Chances are you are in the same boat if you set some goals. Does the fact that we did not meet some of our goals lead to defeat and surrender? It shouldn't. The Lord is teaching me in this season that we need to celebrate the victories that we have won through Christ and humbly confess our failures and short comings to Him and depend upon His grace and strength to do better.
So 2019 I have set some pretty big goals for myself including the completion of a book on pastoral theology, reaching my goal weight, making more time for my wife, and reading 30 books this year. (Have you heard of Goodreads? I invite you to join me here. It is a great place to keep track of your reading but also to see what your friends and colleagues are reading.) Through prayer, hard work, and dependence upon the Lord I will meet these goals this year for His honor and glory.
Calvary Free Will Baptist Church has been going through a process of revitalization and has assembled a 20/20 Vision Taskforce to help our church be intentional about healthy ministry to our church. We have hired a church consultant, Bud Brown, with Turn Around Pastors Inc. In 2018 during the evening services of 5th Sundays our church has taken time to talk and discuss our church and our preferred future. God is doing great things in our midst and He is NOT finished. We believe that better days are ahead for the ministry of Calvary Free Will Baptist Church. To that end we have committed to a renewed sense of purpose. The mission of Calvary is to be a Bible-believing family of believers that seeks to share God's love, spread the Gospel, and equip believers to impact their world. The work of our taskforce has helped us to zero on a focus that will be expressed this year as: Reaching Up, Reaching In, and Reaching Out. You will be hearing more about this in the coming days. Right now though would you join me as a partner in prayer? Pray for the following immediate needs:
- A fresh stirring of God's Spirit to permeate all that we do as a church
- Committed laborers to help us in the harvest.
- Ask the Lord to raise up leaders and workers.
- Financial resources needed to help Calvary be all that it can be
Our leadership team and 20/20 Task force is asking our church to commit to working together see the following this year:
- 10% increase in our Sunday school, worship, and midweek attendance
- 10% increase in giving
- 80% of congregation regularly engaged in ministry inside and outside of the church.
So I have shared some of my goals and our church's goals. What are your goals for 2019?

New Testament Survey Part 1
During our Wednesday night Bible study and prayer time we are going through a series of lessons surveying the New Testament. I will post the notes here each week shortly after.
New Testament Survey, part 1
Background, Overview of the New Testament
"In the years that preceded the coming of Christ, God had been active in the lives of men and the affairs fo the nations." (Walter Dunnett, New Testament Survey: Broadening Your Biblical Horizons, 2003: 5)
The Hebrews Preparation and Participation
Israel was "chosen to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exo. 19:6).
Nebuchadnezzar's taking Judah captive - the Dispersion
Hebrew Old Testament was translated into Greek in the city of Alexandria Egypt between 250-150 B.C. This is called the Septuagint and is sometimes referred to as the LXX in reference to the 70 men who took part in the translation and editing of the work.
Also during the second century BC 2 sects of Jews seemed to have popped up: the Pharisee and Sadducees.
Pharisees the larger of the 2 groups. Predominately made up of students of the Old Testament. Very orthodox in their character. Taught the sacred nature of the entire Old Testament, the resurrection and judgment of the last day, affirmed the existence of angels and spirits. (The Sadducees denied all of these important doctrines.)
Saduccees were the powerful political leaders, including the High Priest and other community members.
2. The Greek Preparation and Participation
Alexander the Great realized an ambition for one language and one world as we swept across the known world and conquered it between 334-323 BC. To cement his victories he made the official language of all of the places he conquered Greek. This became the common language of the world during this time. This common language made it possible for the early church to reach people in Greek with the Gospel message.
3. The Roman Preparation and Participation
Rome is noted for having organized the world into a great empire extending from the western end of the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River in the Near East. They established a system of local government of provinces and districts that were closely supervised by local officials that reported to Caesar. Law and order was the name of their game.
Law and order - this emphasis backed up by great military power made possible the days of peace during the reign of Caesar Augustus. It was during his reign that the census was called for that brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem.
System of Roads contributed greatly to society as a whole and made travel much safer and easier.
Moral and religious decay - the Empire was notorious/synonymous with debauchery. The philosophies and religious teachings of the day left the people empty and wanting more.
The principal ruling family in Palestine in the years of the early Christian era was the Herodian dynasty. Herod the Great was king of the Jews, reigning from 37-4 BC. Herod Antipas, one HTG's sons Herod Antipas (4 BC-39 AD) served as Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea. This was the Herod that John the Baptist accused of wrongfully marrying Herodias (matthew 14:1-12). He was called "that fox" by Jesus (Luke 13:32) and it was he who was involved in the trial of Christ in Jerusalem (Luke 23:7-12).
Herod Agrippa I, the son of Aristobulus and grandson of Herod the Great, succeeded Antipas and ruled over Galilee, Smaria, and Judea from AD 37-44. Murdered James the son of Zebedee and imprisoned Peter (Acts 12:21-23)
The last of the Herod's to rule during the New Testament period was Herod Agrippa II (AD 50-100). He appears in Acts 25 and 26 in conjunction with Paul's trail before Festus in Casarea. He acquitted Paul of the charges against him, and yet Paul appealed to Caesar and was sent to Rome.
Composition of the New Testament
Contains 27 books within 3 categories: History (5 - Gospels and Acts); Epistles (21); and Apocalyptic (1). The New Testament is not arranged in chronological order, but arranged by these divisions and the books are placed in regard to their length rather than the date they were written. Many scholars hold that James was the earliest of the New Testament books, written about AD 45. Galatians likely was the next, and Paul's first in about AD 47.
January 31, 2019
I am going to try to do better this year with blogging regularly. I have started and then stopped too many times to count. Partly because I get busy, partly because I wonder if I have anything to say. Regardless, 2019 will be a start of a renewed effort to write regularly. I would like to spend this first blog post talking about my wonderful trip to Ukraine this month but there is something much more pressing that I must address today. (I will be sharing Sunday evening at Calvary at 6 pm and we will be live streaming it here: www.facebook.com/calvaryfwbcolumbusga, and I will write here soon about it.)
This week though I must address an issue that I never would have dreamed would be necessary. I am not talking about the nonsense going on in Washington DC. Rather I am talking about the unfortunate events that transpired this week in New York and Virginia. Early this week New York celebrated the overturning of a ban on partial birth abortions in the name of women's health. It is now legal in the state of New York to terminate a pregnancy up to the point of delivery, and the abortion does not even have to be performed by a licensed physician I am told. A similar bill is under consideration in Virginia. What surprises is not that the decisions were made to pass in what in my opinion is a horrible bill rather it is the depravity of mankind seen in politicians and others cheering its occurrence. Have we really gone so far as a country that we celebrate death? You see the issue is not a Republican or Democrat issue. It is not even a man vs woman issue. It is an issue of life. Life is given by God, but the state of New York has, seemingly successfully, declared that politicians know better than "God" about what is good and right. History will show us other wise, just as it has countless times in the past. In the past abortion proponents have declared they desired the procedure to be a safe, rare occurrence. However, events now show this was not the case. And it will not stop with just infants.
It will not be long before the government will sanction the killing of others. When you start to travel down the road of devaluing life, there will be no stopping point. Before long when senior citizens become a burden on society that it too great to bear these same people will cry, "mercifully assist them in ending their pain and allow them to die." When government finds those who threatens it power and it can not silence them by other means, simply take their life. Life no long seems to have much value in the eyes of much of society. However, for the Christian and the Church we must stand up and say that God does declare that life has GREAT value. If for no other reason (though there are others) than God gave it. All life is a precious gift from God. As the Church we must stand against the progressive movement within our country that seeks to further devalue life. We must pray that the hearts of the politicians that are pushing these bills would realize the seriousness of their actions and they would repent. We must pray for our brothers and sisters in these states to have the courage to stand and speak against the message of death and suppression of life. We must through our example show that life is precious and a valuable gift from God. We are at a crossroads we will either declare "Life is precious" or "I do not care what you do just don't bother me." Which is your choice? I am choosing life!

A Lesson From Hy-Vee For Church
I worked for a local grocery store throughout high school in Sioux Falls called Hy-Vee. It is an employee owned regional store that is concentrated in the upper Midwest. Hy-Vee was always a customer centered store. As employees we were expected to be friendly. If a customer needed help finding an item, we took them to the item. We smiled - in fact that was the slogan back then. Why do I mention this? It is not just to walk down memory lane.
My niece Kelsey graduated from high school last week and I was blessed to be able to return to attend the graduation. While back home I visited a Hy-Vee (in case you were wondering it was the one at 26th and Marion Rd in Sioux Falls.) I was shocked at what I found. The stores have grown to include much more than they did in the late 80s and early 90s. (Though they are still frying up some great fried chicken.) The stores seem brighter. They were a lot larger as well. But there was some other things that I noticed. Something more important seemed to have changed though. The focus on customers and customer service seemed to have at least taken a back seat, if not vanished.
I shopped at about 5 pm, it was quite busy in the store. There were SEVERAL employees working this Friday afternoon. What is so shocking is how those many employees worked. I passed no less than 15 employees through various departments. (I walked the entire store looking around.) Not one single employee smiled, asked me how I was doing, or if I needed any help. I even walked past one manager two times looking for protein shakes. He never looked up from stocking his display. I finally was tired of hunting the protein shakes and found an employee. I asked her where the protein shakes were. "In the health section." Clearly I did not know where that was or I would have found the crazy shakes 20 minutes before hand. I wandered for a bit more and finally happened upon the health section and protein shakes.
There are several lessons that I took away from my shopping trip that day. One of them that I want to talk about today on this blog relates to church. Walking into this new grocery store, not knowing where anything was, not knowing anyone that worked there was sort of an intimidating venture. I definitely was a bit apprehensive and frustrated at how hard it was to find some things. The employees, including the managers, had become so comfortable with their routines and list of jobs to complete that they ignored the very reason for them being there - their customers. You see not only did no one speak to me, no one spoke to anyone. Could this be how it is for people when they visit church for the first time? I dare say, "Yes." I am occassionally guilty of it. Folks in my church are occassionally guilty of it. We get wrapped up in the things we are doing, we forget why we do what we do. At Calvary we want people to feel welcomed when they come. We recognize that it is a stressful and intimidating thing to visit a church for the first time. That is why we have guest parking right at the front of our building. That is why we have greeters to welcome people. That is why members of the congregation speak to one another and especially those that are new. A smile, a welcome hand shake, and the other things that we try to remember help us to present the message "You are wanted and welcome here at Calvary. We love you. Jesus loves you. We are glad that you came." When churches (and grocery stores) lose their focus on guests, it won't be long until they are out of business - just ask the Shakers.

Stand For The Truth
Time Magazine recently ran a cover story that asked the question "Is Truth Dead?" While many in our society want to question truth, we need to understand the reasons for raising the question in the first place. Christians understand that there is absolute truth and recognize that God's Word - the Bible - contains that truth. God's truth is certainly found in other places as well though. I believe it was Augustine that proclaimed "All truth is God's truth." Certainly God is the author truth, not of lies and falsehood. That is where the rub comes in. You see if society recognizes the reality of truth, they must also recognize the reality of God. However if truth is made to be relative or even non-existant then the problem of God is solved - He just simply does not exist. In our current cultural situation, where truth is left to the individual we are seeing some horrible and terrifying results of this ungodly cultural trend.
Something else has transpired as we have wrestled with the matter of truth though. We have lost a sense of civility and decorum. This can be seen throughout our nation from the Capital all the way through America's Main Streets. If someone does not agree with you they are the enemy. They are evil. They must be silenced or destroyed. This crazy philosophy has no place in the Kingdom of God or in any civilized society. Because we are made in the image of God, whether we choose to acknowledge that or not, we are of great value and worth. So are all other human beings. For that reason alone, God's people are called to love and be kind to others. We must remember that the "Golden Rule" is a biblical standard, not a postmodern pop-psychology phenomenon.
The Church must remember this truth as it interacts with those who are Christians and those who are not. Unfortunately salvation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit do not always mean that Christians behave in a Christ-honoring and loving way like they should. One of the frequent criticisms of the church is hypocrisy. Jesus put it another way. "How can you love God who you cannot see when you don't love your brother whom you can?" When we are not able to show love and grace to our fellow man, perhaps it is because we have not received it from God ourselves. We cannot share something that we do not have.
Church - Let's be busy speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) this week.

An Exciting Opportunity
I have been invited to come to a Christian Bible college and seminary in Ukraine to teach a group of pastors for a week in January 2019. I am very excited about this. I will be teaching a course on pastoral leadership January 11-18, 2019. You can help support this mission trip by clicking the link below. Any size gift would be greatly appreciated. More than finances though, would you join me in prayer? Help me pray that finances will be raised, I will have clarity as I develop lessons and sermons.
God is so awesome to use His people who are willing vessels. When we are walking with Him and surrendered to Him He will bring various opportunities our way. Some may be in "far, far away lands." Most though will be right in our back yard. We must always be ready to say a word for the Lord and to lend a helping hand for the Lord to those in need. What opportunities is the Lord opening up for you?
You can also support electronically under Online Giving on our church website, or send a check made payable to:
Calvary Free Will Baptist Church

Shacking Up A Storm
A new Hollywood movie came out in theaters last weekend based on the book The Shack by William P Young. The book caused a great stir when it was released a few years ago. A storm of controversy is brewing about the movie as well. The basic background to the story is a man's young daughter was kidnapped and presumably killed while the family was on a campout at a park. It understandably causes problems within the family, especially between the mother and father. One day the dad gets a letter inviting him to Shack. He ends up going and there meets "God." And this is what the controversy is about. The book and the movie both portray the Father and the Spirit as women. Jesus is still a man.
There are a couple of points that I want to make to maybe contribute to the discussion surrounding the movie. Before I do though let me say that I have read the book but have not seen the movie and I am not sure that i will. As we talk about this movie we must remember at the very outset it is NOT a Christian film. I do not know the state of William Young's relationship with God. I do think that the film does not claim to be an evangelical, conservative story. It is certainly not. It is a Hollywood movie tale about the themes of love and forgiveness - something that certainly Christians should have something to say about. We should not expect non-Christians to believe like Christians. (You have had your head in the sand if you think they do.) There is another fact though that merits discussion. All people are made by God in His image. As the psalmist declares, "I [we] am fearfully and wonderfully made." Because God created and formed us, we all have some common characteristics that are true of all people. One of those common traits is an interest (either positively or negatively) in spiritual things. Very few people are truly neutral about spirituality. Some are absolutely against spiritual anything. Some wonder if there is a God why do we not see more of Him? We were created as spiritual beings so this movie/book touch something that all of us deal with. Everyone has to wrestle with questions of who God is and the relationship that we are to have (or not have) with Him.
I think that this film (as the book has done) opens some doors to have conversations about spiritual matters. As an evangelical Christian there are some things that I believe about God that are very contrary to this story. However, that does not mean that I am not willing or able to have a conversation with others that have some differing ideas from the story. That is good and healthy by the way. A good book or movie should get people talking. Perhaps if we talked more and argued and belittled less we would have more time for forgiveness and love - things that Jesus lived and preached about a great deal.

Any attempt on the analysis of world literacy patterns is seriously handicapped by the unavailability of comparable data for all the countries of the world. Till recently, for much of the less developed parts of the world, data on literacy and education was not available. Further, because of the differences in definition and in enumeration procedure, no actual figure can be accepted with complete certainty. A relatively more accurate estimate on literacy rates are available for the developed countries of the world.
However, as most of these countries have attained universal literacy, they seem to have discontinued publishing data on literacy. This is evident in the Human Development Report of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for the year 2003. For working out the indices of human development, the report has considered a rate of 99 per cent for the industrialized countries for which literacy data are missing.
Probably, because of this, the report does not provide world's average literacy rate. However, by providing comparable data for 175 countries, the UNDP has made the geographers' task much easier. The present analysis of the world literacy patterns is based on the estimates given in Human Development Report, 2003.
Table 6.1 presents the latest estimates on literacy and education aspect for the select countries and for major world divisions. Although estimates are available for 175 countries, the table includes only a select list of countries to highlight the contrasts in the literacy level between the developed and the less developed regions of the world.
The patterns in literacy level by individual countries are shown in Figure 6.1. As against a situation of near universal literacy among the industrialized countries of the world, the developing countries, on an average, report an overall literacy level of only 74.5 per cent. The LDCs report a further lower level of literacy.
The world's average adult literacy that was 77.1 per cent in 1997 (Chandna, 2002:344) is expected to have crossed 80 per cent mark at the present time (the report of 2003 does not provide figure for the world average). Thus, literacy transition in the world is fast approaching the advanced stage. As is expected, more males are literate than females. The Human Development Report of 1999 puts the rates at 84.3 per cent and 71.1 per cent for males and females respectively. One comes across a much sharper sex differential in literacy in the LDCs.
As Figure 6.1 reveals, the lowest literacy rates in the world can be seen in the west-central parts of Africa. In Niger, for instance, the adult literacy rate is barely 16.5 per cent. In other words, nearly 85 per cent of the adults in the country are still illiterate. In the adjacent countries of Mali and Burkina Faso also illiteracy rates are equally higher. In terms of education index, these countries occupy the lowest positions in the world. 'Education Index' is based on adult literacy rate and the combined primary, secondary and tertiary gross enrolment ratios of an individual country (for details see UNDP, 2003:341).
The index varies from over 0.90 in the developed countries to as low as 0.17, for instance, in Niger. Among the rest of the countries in western Africa, the situation is marginally better, though literacy rates remain below 50 per cent in all the countries. Countries like Angola and Mozambique in the south and Ethiopia in the east also report more than half of the adult population as still illiterate. In the rest of the continent, literacy rates are comparatively better.
In Asia, the situation is somewhat better. However, countries like Yemen, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan have literacy rates of less than 50 per cent. It can be seen that countries with a substantial proportion of Muslims in their population, in general, report a lower rate of literacy. In Asia, Japan and Singapore stand quite distinct from the rest of the countries with respect to literacy rates. Japan, like any other industrialized country of the West, has already attained universal literacy among its population.
Singapore is only marginally behind Japan. In China, though literacy rate is higher than many other countries, literacy transition will take yet another decade or so for its completion. India, the second largest populous country after China, is far behind the other developing countries. India's literacy rate is markedly lower than that in Sri Lanka – its neighbour. Other countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand etc. also have higher literacy rates than in India.
In terms of literacy rates, the South American countries fare far better than the rest of the developing world. In some of the countries from this continent, the adult literacy rate is only marginally short of the rates in the industrialized countries of Europe and North America.
In Argentina, for instance, 97 per cent of its adult population is already literate. Uruguay, another country in the continent, has almost attained universal literacy with only 2.4 per cent of its adult population who cannot read or write. Some other countries with more than 90 per cent of literacy rates are Colombia, Chile, Venezuela, Paraguay and Ecuador.
Likewise, among the Caribbean and Central American countries also, literacy rates are very high. Barbados, a very small country in the Caribbean, reports a literacy rate of 99.7 per cent. Costa Rica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago are also fast approaching a situation of universal literacy.
The preceding discussion reveals a marked contrast in the levels of literacy between the developed and less developed parts of the world. As against universal literacy in almost whole of Europe, North America (excluding Mexico), Japan and Singapore in Asia, and Australia and New Zealand in Oceania, in a major part of Africa and in a number of countries in Asia, literacy transition is still in its early phases.
The industrialized countries account for a disproportionately higher share in the world literate population. In fact, literacy transition in the world had first begun in the industrial countries of northwest Europe. From here the transition gradually spread to the rest of Europe and other industrialized countries of the world. United Kingdom was perhaps the first country in the world to have experienced the process of transition in literacy. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, over half of the adults in England and Wales were illiterate. By the year 1850, the share of illiterate adults came down to 45 per cent.
The transition was more rapid in the second half of the nineteenth century, and by the year 1910, the incidence of illiteracy was almost eliminated from the country. Less than 5 per cent of its adults that were still classified as 'illiterate' were mostly concentrated in the old age groups. In southern Europe, literacy transition had a late start. For example, in Italy, the proportion of illiterate in the age group '10 and above' was as high as 75 per cent according to 1861 census.
Over a period of nearly a century, the country was able to achieve universal literacy. Similarly, in Greece, illiteracy rate that remained above 60 per cent in the age group '8 and above' till 1907, declined to the neighbourhood of 25 per cent in 1951. Towards the east, in the erstwhile USSR also, the transition began only towards the close of nineteenth century. In the year 1897, nearly 67 per cent of the country's population aged 9 and above was illiterate but by the middle of the twentieth century illiteracy had completely disappeared.
Literacy transition in the industrial countries was accomplished in about 75 to 100 years. With the completion of transition, literacy differentials in these countries have completely disappeared. Although, separate data for rural and urban areas are not available, it can safely be argued that even rural areas in such countries have attained universal literacy.
Another aspect of literacy differentials relates to male-female gaps. In the industrialized countries, the gap between male and female literacy rates has long been eliminated, while the same in the LDCs is alarmingly wide. In almost whole of Africa and in a large part of Asia, male literacy rates are still higher by more than 20 percentage points than female literacy rates (Nagle, 2000:437).
Female literacy rate constitutes only 70 per cent of male literacy rate in the LDCs, on the whole. Remarkably, in South Asia, this share is as low as 67 per cent. Even in the western parts of Asia, among the Arab states, the gap between male and female literacy rates is of the same magnitude. It is expected that a similar differential exists between the urban and rural areas of these countries. Future literacy gains for the world as a whole, therefore, would depend heavily on the extent to which highly illiterate segments of these countries get involved in literacy transition.

Arsene Wenger feels that new striker Lucas Perez will quickly settle at Arsenal and predicts he will be vital for their season.
The 27-year-old Spanish striker was signed from Deportivo La Coruna in a reported deal worth £17.1 million and the Arsenal manager was keen to praise his new striker's ability.
"I'm confident. He has pace, good technical levels, is a good finisher and he has the ingredients to be a success," said Wenger. "It's always a little bit of a gamble to come from one country to another, with different challenges, but I believe it was a gamble worth taking. I'm excited about that."
Wenger also added that he was confident the much travelled striker will integrate into Arsenal's style well with his link up play with his team mates and defence beating runs.
"I'm happy because I believe he has the qualities to integrate into our team very well"
Perez arrives to Arsenal off the back off a fine goalscoring season in Spain with 17 La Liga goals and was the standout star of a Deportivo side that avoided relegation. He joins Arsenal hoping to improve the North London side's striker options with Oliver Giroud their only fit senior centre forward.
Arsenal's Answer To Vardy?
With many pundits remarking how he is a late bloomer in terms of his footballing talent, many experts are comparing him to Jamie Vardy. Wenger believes this is down to him only recently being played as a centre forward.
"He's a late developer in this position because he has always played on the flanks. He's got a good eye for goal and had an outstanding season last year in a team that didn't create too many chances."
Perez Admires Ex-Gunner
In an interview with Arsenal's official website, Perez told the website that he has always been an admirer of Arsenal's style and former stars, including Jose Antonio Reyes.
"Well, obviously everyone knows about Arsenal's legendary players, such as Henry and Bergkamp," said Perez. "I really admired Reyes, who's a fellow Spaniard.
"[There's] Pires, Vieira too… that was a wonderful time for Arsenal and everyone knows all those players. People know all about them in Spain and that history of having legends at the club is part of the reason Arsenal are so popular."

I am going to attempt to find a Wifi signal at the tattoo parlour. Fingers crossed, because if I do, I will be able to bring you live updates of Meagan's tattoo.I don't know if I will be able to get any wireless access, but I'm going to try.
If you are interested, you might want to check in around 7:15 tonight. If I haven't posted by then (or 7:30 at the latest), it will not be as live as I had hoped. Either way, it will be posted as soon as possible.
I hope at least some of my readers are anticipating this event as much as I am. I'm pretty excited about the whole thing, and I know Meagan is, too!
Have a great evening, I'll post ASAP!

There are many alternative therapies that attribute medicinal properties to plants – aromatherapy, flower therapy, herbal medicine, to name but a few... The healing properties of plants has long been the subject of much debate – mostly, no doubt, because no one can prove empirically whether such properties exist. Aromatherapy has become a familiar addition to today's beauty parlours. Many of us accept that essential oils (derived mainly from plant materials) may improve health – physical, emotional or mental. In Flower Therapy (established by Dr Bach in the 1930s) there are 38 wild flowers that are believed to contain properties that can heal emotional, as well as physical, symptoms. The theory being that many physical symptoms have their genesis in the sufferer's emotional or mental state. The link between emotional and physical well-being is nothing new, but do flowers really contain substances that can alleviate the former to heal the latter? It's an intriguing theory and one that's worth exploring... If you want to find out more about the therapeutic properties of plants and flowers, why not sign up to one of ADL's home study courses?
