"I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy and swindlers or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world. But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders? Donât you judge those who are inside? But God judges outsiders. Put away the evil person from among yourselves."
Hannah gave women the example to follow. It is God who opens and closes the womb and He knows the ache and longing of a woman who desires motherhood. I know those of us who have struggled or are struggling with infertility would do well to keep looking up and remember our Creator above what we can create.
They're the "Christians" who proclaim the soveignty of God! And allow space in their lives for tolerance of other religions who's gods are "equally soveign".
They're the "Christians" who claim God's word is true and right! And hand the mic over to women pastors & homosexuals to give their story about the true, unfailable word of God.
They're the "Christians" who believe God should rule over their lives. And the government should be the vehicle to that; from healthcare to your paycheck to your family planning to you children's upbringing to your retirement - the government is the hand of God in our life.
And that's Wisdom speaking. I'll add only that drinking is not a sin, being an alcoholic is. Eating is not a sin, but gluttony is. Speaking is not a sin, but lying is.
1 Corinth 10:30-31: "If I partake with thanks, why am I slandered because of something I give thanks for? Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for Godâs glory."
Psalm 1:1 "How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path of sinners or join a group of mockers!"
Jude 20-23 "But you, dear friends, as you build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the LOVE of God, expecting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life. Have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; have mercy on others but with fear, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh." That is a wonderful message of love, wouldn't you agree?
Frank, Christopher & Been Watching ð
Been Watching, well, I have had those moments often, usually with pointless, mundane things. Once however I was able to pull a friend back from being beaned with a fly ball. I don't know what those are but they're weird.
It was tough going from two incomes to one... until we realized exactly HOW we were spending the money God was entrusting to us. So much was on stuff and unnecessary. Those kids belong to God & He always affords what He buys, so to speak. I have yet to meet a family that could not keep Mom at home (with the exception of a father who had been in an accident & physically could not work his construction job). It might be tough. Sometimes you struggle and "do without". But I know, and in quick order, one's faithfulness to God's family plan will bring success, happiness and fulfilment in ways never imagined! Nine babies later and God continues to provide exactly what we need, when we need it.Prov 10:22 & 30:8

open || week 41
"A person can only move forward, she thinks. A person should only move forward."
— Elisabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge
My week was full of goodness; a weekend away with amazing woman, walks along the river; body moving, Basil sniffing and weather which rivaled springtime. Most of the pots on the deck were emptied and tucked away for the winter. Even though the geraniums were still blooming, I know winter is on her way.
"Traits don't change, states of mind do."
— Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge
Sunrise and the view from the deck of the house we rented.
"People like to think the younger generation's job is to steer the world to hell. But it's never true, is it? They're hopeful and good - and that's how it should be."
— Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge
Tree art and spiderwebs. . .
Stew with sour cherries, mushrooms and wine. . .
"Don't be scared of your hunger. If you're scared of your hunger, you'll just be one more ninny like everyone else."
— Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge
The memories of the weekend held me though the week. So much talking and being heard. Walks on the beach, good food, some fancy cocktails and a knitting lesson. How was your week?
I think Olive Kitteridge is in my top five. . .

The Energetic Chiropractic Method is a revolutionary chiropractic approach that works with the body on a vibrational level. The concept of Energetic Chiropractic emerged alongside the current understanding at the leading edge of science, that what we perceive as physical matter is in fact energy and all energy expresses information based on the frequency of its vibration or its tone.
When this concept is applied to the human body, it is viewed as a rapidly transforming, dynamic network of energy and information rather than a fixed anatomical machine. Integral to the control and coordination of this network of energy and information is the nervous system. This highly sophisticated system not only controls and coordinates the function of the entire body, but it is also the interface with which we interact with the world outside of us.
The nervous system responds to, interprets and adapts to information from within the body itself and also with information from the much larger external environment. This information is continually relayed to the brain where an estimated 320 Gigabytes per second is processed and sent out to every single cell in the body. The structural and behavioral expression of our cells is therefore a direct reflection of not only the function of our body itself but also how we perceive our experience of the external environment.
Chronic, long-term experiences of stress create interferences to the free flow of energy and information in and around the body. These interferences are an expression of the stress response and the body's adaptive challenges. The interference patterns created by the compounding effect of these stress experiences over time leads to an unbalanced state, which is reflected throughout the entire body-mind system: the bio-energetic field will express an incoherence; nervous system function will be altered; the biochemistry of the body will become imbalanced; and the physical structures of the body from macroscopic to microscopic will store tension and distort.
"To know a person's experiences from the past examine their body now, to know a persons body in the future examine their experiences now."
— Deepak Chopra
The Energetic Chiropractic Method begins with an analysis of the entire body-mind system in order to locate the patterns of interference within its field of intelligence. Globally, the bio-energetic field is scanned for vibrational disturbances and the body is assessed for overall tension by observing restricted breathing patterns and postural distortion patterns. At the local level, the soft tissue is palpated for tension and tonal differences, and the motion of the joints are assessed for restricted movement.
The distinction between the Energetic Chiropractic Method and structural chiropractic approaches lies in the practitioner's choice of entry into the interference patterns stored within the body-mind system. Whereas structural approaches introduce a high force into the spinal system with the intent of cavitation and restorative joint motion, Energetic Chiropractic introduces very specific, lightly applied sustained pressure contacts directed toward the nerve-muscle interface in order to arouse an inborn adaptive response by stimulating neural reflexes for the outcome of reducing nerve interference patterns.
The outcomes that are achieved with the Energetic Chiropractic Method focus on engaging a process of change rather than managing an episode of symptomatic relief. The target of care is to reset the neural control mechanisms, which facilitates the unwinding of tension patterns and the entrainment of new postural habits. This is a progressive process in which we continuously evaluate the changes in the body-mind's adaptive response to promote self-regulation and healing from within. It is intended for each adjustment to build upon the successes of the one's prior to create a lifetime of health, wellness and vitality in the most natural of ways.

Don't Give Up - Psalm 135:14 (NIV)
"For the Lord will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants."
When I visit the Native Reservations on the Olympic Peninsula, one of the first things I notice is houses in need of paint and repair and broken down cars. But I also notice that the people are always friendly and easy to talk. When you take the time to listen to their stories, you may find out the truth about living a Reservation life day by day.
One of the reasons for the broken down cars and homes in ill-repair is that the income per family is about $700 a month, and often times even less. Many of the Reservations are isolated, and there are no jobs available. In spite of this, they remain loving people who typically have a good sense of humor - even though many of them are living with generational depression, due to traumatic events from the past. Drugs are easy to get. Suicide is higher on the Reservation for young people than the national average, because of addiction, broken homes, and the feeling of hopelessness.
But many of the elders are believers in Jesus, and they have a strong relationship with the Lord, and by having them as a big part of the family and community helps the children and youth on their journey through life.
Jesus died on the cross for all of us, not just some of us, and because of His sacrifice and love, we all have hope and eternal life forever in Him.
I am always thankful for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who You have sent to us to teach us each day of our lives.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Deacon Tom Benzler (Ioway) - Olympic Peninsula, Washington

MOTIVATION MONDAY: Words/
Words have a way of affecting who we are, what we think, and what we believe. I just heard a speech the other day on the concept of the Power of "I Am"-- a topic and mentality I've been actually personally practicing and preaching the past few months.
When you get up in the morning, it's easy to start off your day looking in the mirror and seeing all your flaws, saying negative things, & putting yourself down. "I am so ugly", "I am so stupid", "I am nothing special". What we don't realize though is that when we do this type of negative speaking, we're voluntarily inviting those "I Am" beliefs into our lives.
We don't even know it, but our words have great power-- what we speak into existence is what will come looking for us. Words, both used on ourselves and shared with others, can be compared to electricity-- capable of either lighting up a room with brightness or being used to hurt with darkness.
Yet, the beautiful thing about words is that WE get to choose the ones we use and the "I Am"s we want to be associated with. If you continually say to yourself "I am blessed", then watch blessings head your way. Yet, if you continually say to yourself "I am so unlucky", then you're willingly inviting disappointments to follow.
We've all had things in our lives that have pushed us down, made us feel like we don't measure up, & have helped us easily accept those negative "I Am"s we so constantly use on ourselves. Yet, no matter what obstacles you're facing, if you want to invite the right things into your life, you need to start SPEAKING the right way. In order to change how you want your future to be on the outside, you have to first change the mentality you have about yourself on the inside.
So for this Monday #inspilaine, start off your week not focusing on what you currently are, but what you WILL BE. Once you believe in the things you want to see within yourself, everyone else will see it too and the world will bring you all the blessings you've been looking for.
So.... WHO ARE YOU? 🤔💭💖

Red Pepper Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach Recipe. As a child I literally only ate pasta and grilled cheese until I was seriously 15 years old.
If I kept it going, I probably would have turned into a noodle. At least that's what everyone used to tell me. I was almost impossible to take to dinner unless there was a simple pasta on the menu or a grilled cheese. Considering what I've turned into 15+ years later, this is really weird to me. I mean I am an equal opportunity eater nowadays, but like I said, that wasn't always the case.

On Saturday, we had a family ravioli situation happening…and these were the results. Delicious, buttery pillows of caramelized mushrooms, cheese and extra saucy rosemary butter sauce.

Wellbeing is a key issue for any business, but it's an especially important focus for small businesses. Small businesses make up a huge part of the UK's economy. In 2017, there were over 5.6 million small businesses in the UK, with between 0-49 employees. This group accounts for over one third of UK turnover. In fact, 96% of businesses have fewer than ten employees.
The impact of absence
For a small business, people are the greatest source of business difference and advantage. This means that illness can have a huge impact. Picture this scenario. If there are ten employees in your company, and one person is off sick, you're down to 90% operating capacity straightaway. Include another person who needs a morning off to attend a GP appointment, and you're down to 80% capacity.
If absence means that present staff have to pick up extra work, this can increase workload pressure. Moreover, employees who work in a small business often have multi-disciplinary roles. This means it's less likely that you will have people with the know-how to pick up the extra work. This increased pressure could lead to stress and other health issues, and then potentially, more time off. You can see how the impact grows quickly, affecting your business' performance and productivity.
Putting a price on absence
Absence can be a significant cost for any business. For a small business, the impact on the bottom line could be even greater – taking into account lost days and reduced productivity. The latest CIPD/Simplyhealth Health and Well-being at Work report reveals that an employee takes, on average, 6.6 days off sick every year. Based on average weekly earnings, this can cost £726 per employee, per year.
Three-point action plan
To help support employee health and wellbeing, and improve absence, there are some simple steps that small business leaders can take. Here is a three-point action plan to get started:
- Encourage employees to be open and talk about their mental health. Take the lead by increasing awareness and decreasing stigma around mental health in your business; make it OK to talk. Employers are often the first port of call for someone struggling with their mental health, so effective signposting is crucial in helping employees understand where they can go for further support.
- Consider the design of jobs in your organisation and allow flexibility. Working from home or remotely, if possible, or allowing employees to shape their working day around personal commitments, can help remove stresses and redress work-life balance – in turn, improving overall wellbeing.
- Our physical environment has a huge impact on wellbeing. Air quality and light exposure are both important factors for our physical health, and improving your workplace environment can be one of the easiest measures to take. Something as simple as bringing some plants into the office can improve air quality. You can also encourage employees to get outside on their breaks, or even introduce walking meetings – being outdoors can sometimes inspire the best ideas.
The Federation of Small Businesses published a helpful guide on wellbeing in small businesses – check it out for further info and tips for improving wellbeing.

How Much of What Kind
by Joan Frank
December 2017
"Please don't worry about asking—you should. One should always do what they can for their career."
That's what Elizabeth Strout told me two years ago when I wondered—apologetically—whether she might blurb my then-new novel. Elizabeth had to decline that time, pleading work of her own. But she'd previously given a lovely blurb to an earlier story collection of mine.
Her words reassured me that I was not monstrous to have ambition: a fear that still lurks, I think, in the hearts of many writers. One should always do what they can for their career. That was the payload to hold close. Most writers sense it instinctively. The nature of the world at hand, pleasant or not, commands it.
The tricky part? Deciding how much self-promotion, and what kind, may be good—for the writer, and for her readers.
I've seen writers I truly, deeply admire announce their awards and accolades so constantly on Facebook that soon I find myself (with the best of will) sick of them—actually groaning aloud to be staring once more at their book's cover, an article about them, or photos of them jauntily sampling truffle fries and Malbec in sexy international cities they're being paid to tour.
I doubt I can again stand to see the words "honored and humbled." For heaven's sake (I scold the writers aloud, alarming anyone else in the room). Enough already. We get it.
I also sense that it's difficult to slam on the brakes in the midst of that overdrive to push, to do everything to help gain one's work visibility. Maybe the habit's a form of gluttony. Or paranoia about dead-endedness; about invisibility. We've been required by publishers, editors, and agents to take up the drum-beating task. Competition, they tell us, is hysterical. There's no longer a choice. Suck it up, and act. We're so constantly, fiercely primed to do whatever it takes to flog our work, I can itemize a sample list off the top of my head:
Establish a web presence. Write a blog. Create a Facebook page for the book. Create one for yourself as an author (not as a private citizen). Make a book trailer. Tweet your head off. Post every review: every award, translation, sale of rights. Design product tie-ins, contests, giveaways. Throw a book-themed party. Arrange interviews on television and radio. Skype. Give readings. Speak to classrooms, book clubs, libraries. Schedule a tour and hit the road with as many cases of the book as you can squeeze into your car's trunk. Sleep in the car if you must.
Relatedly: Finance it all yourself. Unless you've got hot buzz escorting you straight out of the gate, you'll probably have to.
Some writers can afford to hire publicists. None, among those I've asked, has yet confessed to me that they felt actively dissatisfied with their publicist. At the same time, I never sensed that whatever any publicist accomplished felt clearly measurable to these authors. So the question "is it worth it?" still floats - assuming one has money for it in the first place.
Some writers simply can't stomach self-promotion. They hang back, bitter or sad or fatalistic. Others see no reason not to fling themselves into the game like acrobats. I imagine there's little they would not do, including sing the national anthem at a ballgame.
It seems reasonable to assume that a working writer must strike a bargain with herself about what she is willing to do to help her work gain visibility; that these choices will likely be made on a case-by-case basis―but that also, she'll stay mindful of some bottom-line of oversaturation, of Enoughness: awareness of the moment when readers will turn away, numbed by the ubiquity which can morph into something close to satire―like a Woody Allen film where everybody at the dinner table has turned into a rabbi.
The supreme paradox? Most writers are not only not sparkling entertainers by nature, but rather their stark opposite: intense introverts who can't wait to run away, slip back into pajamas and thence, their Happy Place: surrounded by books and papers, in bed or at the beloved desk.
For each of my own eight books, I believe I did pretty much all I could within bounds of money, taste, and optimizing relationships. But at some self-evident moment, as the window of novelty starts to shrink, I've packed up my booth in the marketplace and (crazy-relieved) slunk back into quiet, private life—and with that, of course, new work. I do sense that most writers long for this moment—gaspingly glad when it arrives. Especially the pajamas.
Is it monstrous to have ambition? The question faces in two directions: for observers of the drum-beating author, I think, it's a philosophical debate about when exertions start to work against her. For the author herself, the practical translation is "how much of what kind, for how long?" The answers emerge—always—individually, fine-tuned by personal style, and by levels of what writers might call the Ordeal Threshold.
Surely the fundamental logic of shepherding completed writings from birth into the world is solid. Even some of the most famously miserable, messed-up artists on earth had naked ambition for their works. We write (or paint or sculpt or dance) to speak to somebody, even to just one other somebody. And in the chaotic noise of the present world, getting heard takes much more doing. Elizabeth Strout's words can remind us.
The lesson?
Get out there. Get the basic promotional work done. Fine-tune it to your taste.
And then have the wits, dignity, and faith to go away―until the next book.

Uzbekistan - Giving something back
Giving something back
Uzbekistan needs foreign investment, foreign recognition and foreign scrutiny. Responsible tourists can contribute in all these areas by becoming both observers and ambassadors. Think about where and how you spend your money, remembering that family-run guesthouses, local restaurants and co-operative craft workshops are the best way to put your money into the local community.
If you want to volunteer in Uzbekistan, an internet search will reveal a small number of NGOs working within the country, most of which are in the environmental and social sector. Most western NGOs were expelled from the country in 2005–06 following international criticism of the Andijan Massacre. The work of the remaining NGOs is strictly controlled and their workers are often viewed with suspicion by the authorities. It is not uncommon for NGO workers to have their visas terminated suddenly.
Counterpart (www.counterpart.org) works with local NGOs around the world. In Uzbekistan it is involved in disaster response, humanitarian commodities distribution, leadership and enterprise development, and small reconstruction projects. It seeks donors, volunteers and corporate partners. Medical Teams International (www.medicalteams.org) has a field office in Uzbekistan. It works primarily in two areas: emergency medical service training, and outreach and rehabilitation programmes for disabled children. It also provides medical supplies to under-stocked hospitals and clinics. Volunteers with professional backgrounds in medicine and dentistry are particularly sought, though there are also volunteering openings for non-medical support staff.
SOS Children's Village has an office in Tashkent (79A Nukus; tel: (071) 120 3783; email: email@example.com) and works with orphans throughout the country. It is always in need of extra hands and donations of spare cash, toys and children's clothing.

MAJ-2 - What Was Jesus Really Like?
Please feel free to download audio and video for personal listening or teaching. Please do not alter any content. All material is copyrighted and intended to be used in its entirety and is free for distribution under these terms. To save, simply click the button and the download will begin.
After Jesus had calmed the tumultuous seas the disciples responded by
saying and they feared exceedingly and asked among themselves, "Who
can this be that even the wind and the seas obey Him?" Mark 4:41
Today in our series of lessons 'More About Jesus' we want to ask
and let the Scripture answer that very question. Who is Jesus Christ? What
was He really like? What's His nature? Are the images and ideas that
people often have about Jesus in accord with His life in Scripture?
As we think about the life of Jesus Christ, we especially want to ask
and emphasize the nature of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What was
Jesus really like? What is His nature that we read in Scripture? Does that fit
with the way society often thinks or portrays the Lord Jesus Christ?
You know there are basically four views that people will hold about
Christ. There are some who would say that Jesus was a liar that His
miracles were false and fake, that He was not God, that He did not live a
perfect life, and that everything He said was not true. Whether that person
is an atheist, agnostic, or believes in some other religious background they
might hold the view that Jesus was a liar.
A second view that some might hold is that Jesus was a great leader
like Moses in the Old Testament or like Joshua who led God's people into
the promise land. Jesus was a good physical earthly leader. The
Beatitudes, one of the greatest speeches ever given, the Sermon on the
Mount, probably one of the greatest sermons ever, John 6:15. They want to
take Jesus and make Him a king or leader, but it ends there. They see Him
as just a leader, just a physical leader, just like other leaders in the world
A third aspect or third mindset that some people have about Jesus is
that Jesus was a lunatic. That is in John 6 when Jesus said things like, 'eat
my flesh and drink my blood' He was crazy. In John 3 when Jesus said,
'You have to be born again.' How can you be born again? In Mark 3 when
Jesus said 'whoever does will of God is my mother, my brother, my sisters.'
They think He was just a crazy. That the things He said not true, that He
was even a madman some would say.
And then, there's a fourth view. A view that Jesus and the Scripture
want us to hold and that is that Jesus is Lord. This is the view that most, if
not all who believe in the Bible and Christianity, would ascribe to. Acts 2:36
probably one of the key verses in all of Scripture proclaims, "Therefore let
all the house of Israel know assuredly God has made this Jesus whom you
crucified Lord and Christ," or in the words of Paul Acts 9:6, "Lord what
would you have me to do?"
So let's take some time today and think about the character and
nature of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Scripture with a twofold
purpose in mind. Number one as we think about these principles, I want to
learn more about the true nature of Jesus, so that I can gain that
knowledge and understand who He is better. I want to have a better
appreciation for Him.
A second purpose we have in mind is that I want to shape my life into
the life of Christ. I want to let Jesus truly be seen in me, Acts 4:13. I want to
let the light of Christ shine by following His teaching, Matthew 5:16.
So who was Jesus on a personal level? Jesus was a man who
believed in prayer. Notice the words of Mark 1:35 the Scripture records,
"Now in the morning having risen a long while before daylight, Jesus went
out departed to a solitary place and there prayed." Notice the details of this,
'in the morning He got up a great while before daylight,' in essence He set
His clock and got up early. He went out to a solitary place. He escaped all
the hustle and bustle of life. Why did He want to get up early? Why did He
get away from everything? "And prayed." Jesus was a man of prayer.
When you think about Christ and the prayers that He prayed throughout the
Bible, whether be John 17 and the Lord's Prayer, Matthew 6 and you have
the disciples' prayer, His prayer to the Father Luke 22:44, all these show
that in times of difficulty He prayed. Jesus even spent all night in prayer,
one night in Mark 6. He was indeed a man who believed in the power of
You know when you look throughout the Bible at people who were
great men and women of God; they were people who realized the
importance of prayer.
Let me give you a couple examples. I want you to take your mind
back to the time of great persecution, a time when God's people are in
captivity. There is a prophet and his three friends by the name of Daniel.
They are taken from their home and placed in the area of Babylon. They
are taken in essence into a castle we might say, and there Daniel and his
friends are told, 'Don't pray to any other gods. When you hear this sound of
the gong in essence, when you hear the sound, everybody is to pray to this
image that's been made of the King.' What did Daniel do? Daniel heard that
sound. As was his custom in early days with his windows open toward
Jerusalem, he prayed and fasted three times that day. Did it cost Daniel
anything? You bet it did. When people found out Daniel disobeyed the king
to obey God, and when they realized prayer to his God was that important
Daniel ended up in the lion's den.
You remember how that story went. There was not a lion in that den
that could hurt Daniel, for God took care of him. Daniel was taught from
childhood to pray. Daniel thought it was so important that he would rather
be thrown into a den with ravenous lions than not pray to God.
Paul and Silas are examples of prayer in the New Testament. The
place is Philippi. They have been put in a dark, deep dungeon. In that
dungeon, they are there for preaching and teaching about Christ. And in
essence, they hurt people's money, because they cast out an evil spirit of a
woman who was demon possessed. When they're in prison the Bible says
in Acts 16:25, 'that they were praying and singing hymns to God and the
prisoners were listening to them.' What a powerful impact that had! Even so
much so that God shakes the doors of the prison. They are eventually
released. The jailer obeys the gospel. He becomes a Christian. But you
think of men like Ezra, Nehemiah, Daniel, you think of great men and
women in the Old and New Testament- these are people of prayer.
Friend if I'm going to learn from the life of Jesus, I desperately need
to be a person of prayer. Hear the words of Luke 18:1, Jesus taught us a
powerful lesson. "Men ought always to pray and never lose heart." What
does it mean to lose heart? To get discouraged, to get down, to almost feel
like giving up. Do you ever feel like that? Does this life ever get you down
to the point that you think about almost want to give up? What must you do
in situations like that? "Men ought always to pray." James 5:16 tells us why,
"The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man overcomes much." That's
why Christians ought to "Pray without ceasing" 1 Thessalonians 5:17. This
is why we ought to strive in every way to humbly approach the throne of
God. Hebrews 4:16, "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace
that we might find mercy and grace to help in time of need." Friend there is
help to be had at the throne of God. It offers encouragement. I can ask God
for help. 1 Peter 5:7, "I can cast all my cares upon Him, He cares for me."
And so when we think about Christ and His life, what a man of
prayer He was! We need to utilize the strength and the tools that God gives
us in accessing the throne of God in prayer.
Secondly when we think about Jesus and His nature and His
person, let's realize as well that Jesus was indeed a logical individual.
Jesus was a man of logic. What do we mean by logic? Sound reasoning.
We mean not making rash decisions, not acting just off of emotionalism,
not going just off a whim, or whatever society might want to do. We're
talking about logical answers leading to a logical conclusion.
An example is in Matthew 9:12-13. Jesus said these words to them,
"Those who are well have no need of a physician but those who are sick.
Go and learn what this means. I desire mercy and not sacrifice. I did not
come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." Now what he heard
was he had gone to the very people who needed him most: the tax
collectors, the sinners. And the supposedly the righteous people of that day
began to complain, 'He's the master. What in the world is He doing over
there in the slums with those people?' in essence. Jesus heard that and He
made a very logical response. You don't go to the doctor if you feel well.
You go to the doctor if you're sick. 'I'm the great physician. I came to call
those who need it to repentance.'
Now you just stop and think about that. Let me give you this
illustration. Let's say you wake up and you feel great. 'I feel great, the sun
shining, it's a wonderful day! I better call the doctor!' Is that the way you
think? Of course not! You don't get up feeling great, sun shining, you're
ready to go out and approach today, and say 'I better go call the doctor.'
No. Who calls the doctor? Someone who is sick. Those who are well don't
need the physician. These people thought they were well, and Jesus is
saying 'Why do you need me? The people who are sick are the very ones
who need me.'
Friend as I think about the logical nature of Jesus as He does this
over and over again, many times He will answer questions in such a way,
the Scripture records, that didn't even question Him anymore. They didn't
even know how to ask any questions by the time He was through
answering. But as a think about this, the Bible teaches that God has given
me and has given you the ability to reason, to look at the logic, to
understand, and come to the correct conclusion. Isn't that what God wants
us to do? 1 Thessalonians 5:21 the Bible says, "Prove all things, hold fast
to that which is good." God says, "Come let us reason together," Isaiah
1:18. It doesn't anger God if we have questions, Isaiah 41:21. There were
questions that were asked, and God says 'Ask those questions,' in
essence. But we have got to look to the right source for the answer. What
is that source? Acts 17:11 says, "These were more fair-minded than those
who resided in Thessalonica; the Bereans were, because they searched
the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so."
Friend God wants me to use the intellect, the reasoning power, that
He gave me to come to the conclusions revealed in Scripture.
Now let me just mention a couple of those. Sometimes I hear people
say, and it's not a logical idea, but we hear people say it. We hear people
sometimes say, 'You know God really doesn't care what church you go to.
Just go to the church of your choice and God will be happy.' Now is that
logically what the Scripture records? Friend it's just not. Jesus said, "I will
build My church." Who built it? Jesus did. How many churches? His. "I will
build My church," that's Matthew 16:18-19. The Scripture records in
Ephesians 1:21-23 that the church is the body. Church is the body, the
body is the church- those are synonyms. Ephesians 4:4 says there's one
body. 1 Corinthians 12:20, "There is but one body." Colossians 3:15, "You
were called into one body." Over and over again in the Scripture we hear
the statement, 'there's one body.' If the body is the church and there's only
one body and Jesus only promised to build one church, then logically there
is but one church.
What about as it relates to the plan of salvation? Sometimes I hear
people say things like, 'Just say the sinner's prayer and you will be saved.'
Friend, you know what's amazing? I don't find the sinner's prayer in the
Bible. Billy Graham went around the country telling people just to pray the
sinner's prayer. 'Lord Jesus I ask you come in my heart and save me now.'
You can't find that in the Bible anywhere. You can read from Genesis 1:1 to
the very last word of Revelation 22, you don't find that. I hear people
sometimes say, 'All you have to do to be saved is believe,' and yet James
2:24 in those exact words says, "Faith only will not save." What does one
have to do to be saved? You've got to believe in Jesus, John 8:24. You've
got to turn from sin, Acts 3:19. You've got to confess with the mouth, 'Christ
is the Savior,' Romans 10:10. And the Scripture teaches that you must be
immersed in water to be saved. Ananias came to Saul of Tarsus who asked
the question, 'Lord what would you have me to do?' And the answer was,
'Arise and be baptized, wash away your sins calling on the name the Lord.'
And so, I want to use the reasoning power, just as Jesus did, to come the
correct conclusion as the Lord Himself also did.
When I think about the nature Jesus, let's also realize that Jesus
was a man of great power. Listen again to Mark 4:41 after Jesus has
completely calm the tumultuous sea, which the disciples thought was about
to wreck the boat, here's what's recorded. The Bible says, "And they feared
exceedingly and said to one another, 'Who can this be that even the wind
and the sea obey Him?'" Think about many of the miracles that Jesus did:
Taking the few fish and loaves of bread and feeding 5000, raising dead
Lazarus, and you can think of a host of other miracles. Healing people from
a distance as He did with Jarius' daughter, the woman who had the flow of
blood in Mark 6, and on and on you think about that the miracles of Jesus,
and you can see the power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was
indeed a powerful person.
Friend I would ask you to think about this with me, what was the
purpose of Jesus' power and His miracles while He was on Earth? Was it
just to show His power? Was it just for people to look? In a sense it was to
show Jesus as the son of God. But friend the miracles and the power of
them were not just for physical gratification alone. What was the purpose of
miracles in the Bible? Mark 16:20 and Hebrews 2:3-4 clearly teaches that it
was to confirm The Word. Jesus spoke. He claimed that He was the Christ.
He claimed His message was from God. He taught people to repent and
obey the gospel. He preached that message. How did people know that
was the right message?
Let me give you another illustration. Let's say we're living in the New
Testament day and age, and two people rise up and both of them say 'I
have a message from God.' One preaches one message and one preaches
a totally different message. How am I going to know beyond a shadow of
doubt who's right? This man over here said he had a message from God,
and he proved it by raising somebody from the dead. This man over here
said he had a message from God, and he took a few pieces of bread and a
few fish and he fed 5000 people. And they took up 12 baskets of
fragments. I don't have to wonder which one was from God. This man over
here, no proof. What's the purpose of Christ's miracles? To prove He was
the son of God. That's the purpose of signs and miracles in the New
Testament. And the sign in and of itself was never just to be a sign alone, it
always taught a lesson.
For example John chapter 11 Jesus cried out, "Lazarus come forth."
And a man that had been dead for many days, and by that time was
stinking, came forth from the grave. What lesson did He teach? "I am the
resurrection and the life." Jesus took those few fish and few loaves of
bread, and He turned it into enough food to feed 5000 people. What did He
teach? "I am the bread of life, follow me and you'll never hunger or thirst
again." The withered fig tree, when Jesus saw that fig tree and it was
claiming to produce figs. He was hungry and wanted eat something from
that it. It claimed to do something that it didn't. Jesus cursed it. What was
the point of that? If you're going to claim spiritual fruit, you have to produce.
If you're going to claim you're a child of God, you have to bear fruit. You
can't just claim it. You can't just wear the garments and look the look, you
also have to walk the walk and talk the talk. It's not enough just to say
something, claim something; you also have to do that.
Then as we think about the nature of Jesus, I want you to see Jesus
as the perfect ideal person in the New Testament. The words of Mark 7:37
probably could not sum up the life of Christ any better. The Scripture
records in Mark 7:37, "And they were astonished beyond measure saying
'He has done all things well. He makes both the death to hear and the mute
to speak.'" When I think about Christ that perfect person, what a great
statement in Mark 7:37. "He's done all things well." In what way was Jesus
that ideal or perfect person? Jesus was perfect in that He never became
contaminated with sin. "God made Christ who knew no sin to be sin our
behalf. He was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin," 2
Corinthians 5:21. Hebrews 4:15, He committed no sin. 1 Peter 2:19-21 He
did everything perfectly in accomplishing the will of God. God cried out from
heaven in Matthew 17, "This is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased."
He pleased the father in what He did. And friend, He's the perfect example
for us to follow.
We can talk about Christ and His perfection, and we realize our own
imperfection. I realize I've sinned. You realize if you're of an accountable
age, you've sinned. What does Christ as the perfect person do for me and
you? Friend it raises the bar. It helps me to have a goal to reach. It gives
me somebody to look up to. It gives me a type of an example that I want to
follow. I want to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Do I do that perfectly? No.
We step aside sometimes. We fall from time to time. But, I know where
those steps are. I know what God wants me to do. I know the kind of life
Christ wants me to live. It indeed encourages me in that aspect.
Here's a perfect example for us to follow. It teaches us about the
nature of Christ, and it's that Jesus was a man of proper priorities. Look in
Mark 8. I want you noticed the questions asked, the rhetorical questions
asked, by Jesus in Mark 8:36-37. Scripture records, "Jesus said, for what
will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? or
what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" What makes this Jesus
being a man of proper priorities? Jesus asked, 'What will it profit a man if
he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what will you give in
exchange for your soul?' Jesus held as the highest priority the soul of man.
If you could gain the whole world and you lost your soul, what good would
that do you? What could you give that would be of more value than your
soul? Friend the principle is the importance of the soul. Jesus held first
things first. He had proper priorities, and throughout His life He taught us to
do the same.
For example as I look at Jesus as a man of proper priorities, and as I
view my life and strive to live for Him, Jesus taught us, 'Seek first the
kingdom of God.' Where is the priority? God's kingdom. The kingdom is the
church, Matthew 16:18-19. Therefore above all else, the church should be
right at the top of my list. Jesus taught us our priority should be looking up.
Colossians 3:1, "If then we were raised with Christ, seek those things which
are above for Christ is." Don't look down; don't get caught up in the here
and now. Don't let the world bog you down, rather if you've been raised
with Christ keep your gaze pointed up. Look up toward Heaven and the
goal. Jesus taught us to live is him, to live is Christ. Philippians 1:21Paul
taught us, "For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain." There's my priority,
seeking first the kingdom, looking up, keeping my gaze focused on Heaven
living for Christ every day, and truly living as a sacrifice.
Now we mention this because as you see in Scripture and as you
look at the world around us too many times other things get in the way and
become our priority when they shouldn't. Let me give you an example.
Luke 10:38-42 you have the story of Mary and Martha. Jesus comes to
their home. Martha there is distracted with much serving. Serving is good,
but not according to what Mary was doing. Mary set at the feet of the
Savior. She learned, and Martha became disgruntled. She said to the
Savior, 'Tell my sister, in essence, to get in here and help me.' Jesus said,
"Martha Martha you're worried and troubled by many things, one thing is
needful and Mary has chosen the good part which shall not be taken away
from her." Mary chose to set the feet of Jesus. Martha chose to go to the
kitchen to work. Both were good. Which was better? Study, sitting at the
feet of Jesus was a top priority.
Let me give another example and this is such a memorable one. Luke
12:15-21, you've got the story of a man there who had a great crop year.
Do you remember this man? He had such a great crop year, in essence, he
said to himself, 'You've got to tear down your barns and build bigger barns
so that you can put all your crops in.' And he did that. But you know what
he forgot? God said to that man, "You fool this night will your soul be
required of you. Then whose things will those be who you acquired?"
Here's the point, so is he who is rich but not toward God. That man had a
great crop year and there's nothing wrong with that. He was a good
businessman, maybe he needed to build bigger ones. He said to his soul,
'You've got many goods stored up for many years,' take it easy in essence.
But you know what he never did? Thought about his soul. He thought about
his ground, he thought about his crop, he thought about working, he
probably took care of his family, but he never took care of his soul. What a
horrible priority that man had. Everything but his soul he thought about.
Friend let's take just a moment and let's think about our soul for a
second. At the Gospel of Christ and the Lord's church, we want you to
know that more than anything we're concerned about your soul. We're not
concerned about your wallet. We're not concerned about other things. We
are not concerned about money that is not our emphasis. More than
anything in all the world as we think about the life of Christ, we're
concerned about people's souls.
We desperately want you to go to Heaven. If you've never obeyed
the gospel our priority is to encourage you, to motivate, and to challenge
you. Won't you become a Christian?
Friend we ask you to seriously consider, maybe you've been caught
up in the world and the wrong priorities. What's going to happen when you
breathe your last? What's going to happen when Christ comes back and
you're not ready?
Are you a Christian? If not here's what you need to do. You
desperately need to think about your soul. And as you read the Bible, we
encourage you to believe in Jesus as the son of God. Believe with all your
heart, Acts 8:31-35. Would you be willing to repent and turn from sin? Acts
3:19 Why not make that great confession that Jesus asked? He is the
Christ the son of God, Matthew 10:32-33. And would you do what Jesus
"Unless a man is born of water and the spirit he cannot enter the
kingdom of God," John 3:5.
We hope and encourage you to think about your soul. Join us again
as we study 'More About Jesus.'

Frequent Quiltmaker contributor Scott Flanagan designed Sodalite Cabins for Quiltmaker's January/February 2018 issue, and graciously offered to share some tips for picking fabrics and using a die cutter to make his large 100" x 100" bed quilt with our readers.
It is wonderful to be joining you all today! The January/February 2018 issue of Quiltmaker features one of my all time favorite patterns, Sodalite Cabins. It combines my love of sampler-style quilts, star blocks and the traditional log cabin into one striking quilt. I have been getting a lot of comments and questions about this quilt as well as requests for tips and tricks for making it. So, I thought I would share that information with all of you!
The quilt is designed to be scrappy in nature so you can use a LOT of different fabrics. For my quilt I purchased 13 half-yard cuts of blues, 13 half-yard cuts of creams, 3/4 yard for the inner border, and 3 yards for the outer border and binding.
There is a LOT of cutting involved in this quilt and I wanted to speed it up as much as possible. My favorite AccuQuilt die is the Log Cabin. It cuts everything you need to the perfect size. I could be biased as it was designed by my friend and boss Leslie Main, but it really made cutting the log cabins a breeze. I also used the 2-1/2" (2" finished square die) and 2" Finished Half Square Triangle Die to help speed up the cutting on the Star blocks.
Let's tackle the Log Cabin blocks first. There are 52 blue/cream Log Cabin blocks and 12 all-cream blocks. I tried using just a cream square instead of the all-cream blocks, but with all the other piecing in the quilt those blocks looked very stark without any seam lines. If you want to leave those blocks solid though, you will need 12 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" squares.
If you are going to use the GO! and Log Cabin die, start out by cutting 52 6-1/2" x 10-1/2" blue rectangles and 76 6-1/2" x 10-1/2" cream rectangles. You will want the 10-1/2" to be cut on the length of fabric to ensure accuracy when rolling through the GO!. You will only be using the first 8 logs of the die. Lay up to 6 layers of fabric on the die and start cutting! In no time you will have all your Log Cabin patches cut out. Follow Step 2 instructions on page 24 for sewing the Block W's and X's; they should measure 8-1/2" x 8-1/2".
Next is the 8 small 8" finished Star Blocks. For these blocks you need 2 shades of blue for each Star. For die cutting the Large Star points you need 4 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles, and for the small points you need 4 blue 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" Half Square Triangles. Follow Step 2 instructions on page 24 for sewing Block Y's; they should measure 8-1/2" x 8-1/2".
On to the 4 Medium 16" Star Blocks! Again make each star different: every star in the sky is different and it will add texture and visual interest to the project. For each star you will need 3 shade of blue. Make sure to lay out your choices before cutting. You want to make sure there is good contrast in each round. Follow Step 2 instructions on page 24 for sewing 4 Section 1's and assembling into Block Z. The Block Z's should measure 16-1/2" x 16-1/2".
Now to tackle the Large Central Star. For this star you will need 7 shades of blue from light to dark. When I made my sample I actually started with this star first as I wanted to make sure I could use my favorite blues in it. Then with what was left I made all the other star blocks.
The Instructions on Page 24 will walk you through making all the different combinations of triangle-squares you need to make for Units 7–16. Watch when you go to make Sections 2 and 3 that you make them mirror images of each other. It is easy to sew on autopilot and get the triangles turned the wrong direction.
Once you have all the blocks created go to your design wall (or floor, or bed) and lay out the whole quilt. Take a digital picture and walk away for a few minutes. Then come back and look at the picture and see if anything looks out of place. I quite often find a block that is turned wrong in the picture before I see it when looking at the actual quilt. The picture will also help you to see if you need to move any blocks around because all of one blue ends up in one corner.
You are now ready to assemble your top, add borders, quilt and bind it!! And in the matter of a couple paragraphs, your quilt is done! OK, so maybe not that fast, but one can always wish.
I have attached coloring book-type pages for the Log Cabin and Star blocks (click here to download!). You can color the blocks as you want your quilt to look and also use them to help keep track of what fabric you want where!
If you have any additional questions, or want to send me a picture of your completed quilt, find me on Facebook at 4th and Main Designs.
Happy Quilting!

Beautiful quilt! The fabrics used certainly bring out the colours of Sodalite, the gem stone, for which it is named.


text: On last year's vivid The Lights From The Chemical Plant, Texas-to-Nashville transplant Robert Ellis showed off poetic American songcraft recalling James Taylor and Paul Simon, folk and classic country roots branching into pop-rock with a deep twang. His fourth LP takes that impulse further. "California," about a modern Tom Joad leaving a wrecked relationship for her promised land, imagines Steely Dan covering Fleetwood Mac; "Amanda Jane" is a modified bossa nova with pedal steel. Ellis' sly, unsparing wit still defines the music: "The high road is closed for repairs/And nobody cares about songs anymore/My enemies are passing me by," he sings forlornly, string section in tow, on "The High Road," an iconoclast sworn to that road anyhow.

Save VS Splurge: Body Oils
As the weather transitions from Winter to Spring my skin has definitely felt the change. In the cooler months my skin tends to get quite dry and I definitely want to hydrate and nourish my skin before showing it off in the warmer months.
One thing I did differently this year was use a body oil all season. I would apply it all over my body after my shower and my skin would soak it up straight away, leaving it hydrated and soft!
In this post I am going to share some of the body oils I like to save and splurge on for beautifully nourished skin all year round!
Save: Bio Oil
This multi-purpose oil is a must for all families. From dry skin to stretch marks and scars, it's no wonder Bio Oil is the number 1 selling scar and stretch mark product in 24 countries since its global launch in 2002.
Splurge: Ouai Rose Hair and Body Oil
I love anything and everything rose scented so it was no surprise that I fell in love with the Ouai Rose Hair and Body Oil. After applying it to my body I would use any remaining oil from my hands and take it through the ends of my hair.
Body oil sprays make application super easy and mess free!
Save: Essano Rosehip Body Oil Spray*
I am a huge fan of Rosehip Oil and this spray is one I reach for on the regular.
Splurge: Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Body Oil
I love that there is a Body Oil to match my favourite fragrance: Coco Mademoiselle. This is a dry oil which sprays as a fine mist and leaves the skin satiny soft and smelling amazing!
Your skin will be glowing like a goddess with a shimmering body oil. Spritz or apply onto the arms, legs and décolletage for instant sun-kissed skin all year round!
Save: NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Multi Purpose Dry Golden Oil
This is the most beautiful shimmering body oil which creates luminous and radiant skin in seconds. It is perfect for layering over a fresh tan for a golden glow and is enriched with Vitamin E and a unique ultra-concentrated composition of 6 Precious Plant Oils (Macadamia, Hazelnut, Borage, Sweet Almond, Camellia and St John's Wort) to nourish and repair the skin.
Splurge: Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil
After trying this at the launch of the Sephora Bondi Junction store last week I feel in love! This lightweight, shimmering body oil spray creates the most beautiful, shimmery veil over the skin and the scent is incredible. It reminds me of the beach in summer and is described as a bouquet of white florals in a golden, amber-sandalwood embrace, as tempting as a white-sand beach.
