text: Ok, my game now is 90% completed. The last thing (but also very important) is background for the screen. Would it slow down the game if i draw a big quad to fill the screen then apply texture to it? I tested in my computer and it still run normally, but when i tried in my school's computer: it's awful. So is there anyway i can create background without using "applying texture on quad" method?

ImmunoMod-A™ is specifically designed to help modulate a healthy, appropriate immune response for individuals with autoimmune conditions. Excessive chronic inflammation, which is seen in autoimmune conditions, is a pathophysiological contributor to many disease processes. Due to such things as age, chronically high levels of oxidative stress, infectious states, and exposure to various foods and environmental antigens, signaling proteins like NF-κβ – which controls the expression of many genes linked to inflammation and the immune responses – can become overexpressed. This provokes a pathological inflammatory cascade and subsequent immune imbalance through the overproduction of inflammatory cytokines.
Mechanisms of Action
- Activates the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) nuclear receptor. When activated, PPARγ not only stimulates the expression of genes involved in energy homeostasis, but also key regulators of the immune and inflammatory responses.
- Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting NF-κB and subsequent downstream cytokine production (including TNF-α, Il-2, and IFN-γ), as well as the COX 1 and COX2 enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism and inflammation.
- Modulates Th1/Th2 balance (T helper cells), to help support a healthy immune response.

Xpatloop made a second round interview with Daniel Penet, general manager of Buddha-Bar Hotel Budapest Klotild Palace
At Work, a lot of new Head Of Departments hired to open Buddha-Bar Klotild Palace and make it an elegant and fun place, in the musical production, Food & Beverage and Hotel fields.At home, a lot of discoveries of Hungary, Balaton Lake and surroundings with some nice Castle Hotels and beautiful horses, Danube and mountains around Visegrád with a nice bobsleigh track, Tisza To Lake and options for wake-boarding and water-skiing. And of course, a lot of walking in Budapest to discover the city, from Castle to Andrássy avenue up to Heroes square and further to Széchenyi bath, option is to do it with Segway Pedestrian Giropod or with bike… A lot of fun. Exceptional sunny weather has allowed a lot of outdoor activities.
Budapest is absolutely good place to live. It has all attraction of historical city, with a lot of activities available, and it is in Europe one of the best Value for Money. I still have a lot to discover out of Budapest and I will, but I have the chance to live in the center of the city, close to Váci Utca which is very active all time. I hope the beautiful Váci 1 shopping mall will open in 2012 as announced, it will bring another upscaled attraction to the City center.I love all terrasses opening now, there is a big seasonal break up with winter and it brings a very nice atmosphere in town.
3. What's the best party you've been to while in Hungary, and why?
Best Party will be the one at Buddha Bar soon, with DJ Ravin and his fellow colleagues, a chic and elegant place with Pacific Rim Fusion food selection. Good music still allowing friends to have conversation, and bar to meet new faces. Or party at the Klotild Lounge under the sky on our 6th floor, with stunning view on Budapest roofs, exactly where Underworld Hollywood episodes have been shot.
4. What's your favourite drink?
Sparkling water …
5. What hidden talents do you have?
I am afraid I do not have talent, experience comes with work and with keeping eyes and mind open. Having the chance to be a worldwide traveller for business reasons for so many years, I am learning from different people, different cultures and try to understand and use the best approach and practice from these different sources. And Hospitality in 5 stars Properties is a unique opportunity to meet all kind of individuals who had success in their lives, as business men and women, artists, car sellers, builders, … so many fields so can imagine. But all of them share a taste for lifestyle, and I am trying to inspire from their talents.
6. What was the most interesting travel trip you have ever taken?
I am really attracted by nature, so all exceptional natural scenes are interesting to me. From snowboarding Cerro Catedral in Argentina in summer (winter for South Hemisphere), to night diving in Maldives lost Atoll, Game driving with wild animals in South Africa … and walking in the streets of Paris, eating a Sacher Torte in Vienna, Driving Segway in the Budapest's Cattle, having a Mint Tea in Marrakech facing the Atlas Mountains … Each next trip is the most interesting I have ever taken.
7. If you were given a wish that could come true, what would you ask for?
Peace between cultures and people, take time to know the others and then you will see there are good reasons to be interested in them. Travelling is discovering and understanding, and often, intolerance is coming from not knowing others. Not being afraid of different people, because you met them is open door to worldwide understanding and collaboration between people.
8. What's the last book you read, and movie you watched?
Last book I read was … Buddha Bar Operating Process Book ! Last movie was "The Artist", who is taking the risk today to produce a film in black and white with no voice ? Thomas Langman did it, Beautiful story that can have a worldwide reach as it does not need words to express feeling and situations. Berenice Bejo and Jean Dujardin are just acting right.
9. If someone wrote a biography about you, what would the title be?
A traveller on the road again …
10. What is the perfect pizza toppings combination for you?
No toppings, have it like it is
11. If you could trade places with any other person for a week, real or fictional, with whom would it be?
Return to kid's age, so many things to do and so little time …
12. On a scale of 1 to 10 how unusual are you, and why?
Probably 9. Quite difficult in environment asking you to follow rules and behave.
I Like direct approach and still a kid in my mind, but unfortunately my body starts to remind me I am not 10 anymore when I am pushing it too far.
13. What's the best website you've ever visited, and why?
Google Earth. Waow … You can spot almost any point of the planet. You understand the geography, positioning … Great job
14. Who do you admire the most, and why?
My daughter … because she is intelligent, beautiful, have a great future and sparkling eyes and mind. And because she is my daughter, as any father about it.
15. What do you like best and least about living in Hungary?
Quality of life, reasonable pricing, reliable organisations and people are really good to experience.
On the other side, driving is sometimes crazy, with a few individual acting as if they are Schumacher racing for being first on race. A few real dangerous ''pilots''.
16. What has made the biggest impact on your life so far, and why?
Sadly my divorce, was unexpected shock. And happily my divorce, because I started a much better life with much better balance and values.
17. If you won USD 30 million, what would you do with the money?
Give half of it to children foundation ? Buy an Hotel ?… Buying a beach house in Bahamas ?… Buy a super car, yatch, private jet ?… Maybe travel all year around with the sun like a bird, but in 5 stars please … I may not have enough money to last very long. I do not know, and I do not play any lottery so I am afraid I have no chance to win these 30 million USD. And yes, what would I do with them ?…
18. If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
On the Road again, again …
19. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
So many good places … Italy for the life style, South Africa for the wild beauty of the nature, Morocco for the temperature and the good living, Argentina or Canada for the extensive forests and lakes, France for the food, Australia for the low human concentration, New York to be at the source of human creativity, etc …
20. In ten years from now what will you be doing?
Hopefully be in Hospitality business somewhere around the Globe. This is what I know and what I love.

Andrew Bailey pitched 1.1 innings and closed out Boston's 4-3 win on Friday night.
Mike Petraglia, WEEI:
According to three sources inside Fenway Park, Alfredo Aceves tore off his jersey while making his way from the bullpen back to the clubhouse in the moments after Boston's 4-3 win over the Royals ...The Red Sox will not miss Aceves when he's gone. According to Fangraphs:
After Aceves dressed in the clubhouse, he stormed into the office of manager Bobby Valentine and slammed the door behind him.
According to one source, he requested a meeting with Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington and was denied at a time when Cherington was working to finalize the blockbuster trade sending Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto to the Dodgers. On Saturday, Aceves was suspended for "conduct detrimental to the team" ...
Among 147 qualified relievers ... Aceves ranks 130th in ERA (4.60) and 118th in FIP (4.23). He's blown seven of 32 save chances, and after [Thursday's] fiasco he's now 140th out of those 147 qualified relievers in WPA (-1.23).

A sister treats a patient at the Mother of Mercy Clinic in Zerqa, Jordan. (photo: Nader Daoud)
Today is day two of our "Celebrating Women" campaign. In honor of the courageous women in our region, today's picture comes from the Mother of Mercy Clinic in Zerqa, Jordan. This clinic is run and staffed by the Iraqi Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena. Last year 3,600 children received immunizations from the clinic. In December, Msgr. Kozar blogged about his visit to the clinic and the great work and beautiful spirit of the sisters who run this clinic:
We left Amman for densely crowded Zerqa, where we had an appointment to visit the Mother of Mercy Clinic. Perhaps the word "clinic" is a misnomer; this facility teems with activity and offers a multitude of services to a huge number of poor, almost all of whom are Muslim.
I have to tell you, the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena, who run the clinic, are dynamos and command tremendous respect by the hundreds who come each day. Though the facilities are old, humble and crowded, the service provided is exceptional. On a typical day, the dispensary or emergency room might see between 100-140 patients. Additionally, there may be hundred mothers with their infants lined up for vaccinations. There are only two full-time doctors on staff, but they are complimented very well by a trained group of nurses, technicians, midwives, assistants and other helpers who make the delivery of services something to behold. I think our huge mega-hospitals in North America could learn a thing or two with the efficient management style seen here.
But most of all, there is a loving spirit demonstrated by the four sisters who work here and the dedicated staff that collaborates with them. Ra'ed mentioned that most of the staff have been employed at Mother of Mercy for many years, and while they could make greater sums elsewhere, they have made a commitment to stay and serve the poor.
Mother of Mercy is located right beside a huge Palestinian refugee camp, which houses about 80,000 inhabitants. You can imagine the volume of traffic to the clinic on some days, which lies within a compound that includes a parish church, dedicated to St. Pius X, and the parish school.
Another indicator of how beloved the sisters are is the fact that in every instance, save one, all the Muslim women with their children and infants felt very comfortable in allowing me to photograph them. Being cautious, I let one of the sisters accompanying me to ask their permission to take their photograph. I must tell you, the faces of both mother and child were prize-winning smiles, thanks to the sisters.
To learn more about the Mother of Mercy Clinic and the work of the Dominican Sisters, read Mothering Mercies from the May 2009 issue of ONE. To learn how you can help support the work of sisters like the Dominican Sisters, join our Causes page or give on our website.

CHICAGO -- If the lofty expectations were weighing on Anthony Rizzo, he sure didn't show it in his Cubs debut.
Rizzo had two hits and drove in the go-ahead run in his first game with Chicago, which rallied for a 5-3 victory over the sliding New York Mets on Tuesday night.
"That's how I play the game, really relaxed," Rizzo said. "Everybody always tells me it looks like I'm not even trying. I like hearing that a lot."
Rizzo doubled home Steve Clevenger with two outs in the fourth, making it 4-3 and sending the Mets to their fourth straight loss -- matching a season high.
"He didn't act like much of a kid tonight, that's for sure," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "That was pretty impressive."
Rizzo was called up earlier in the day for his highly anticipated Cubs debut. He reached on an infield single in the first when his smash eluded shortstop Ruben Tejada and bounced to first in the third, advancing two runners and sparking Chicago's three-run rally.
Add in a flawless performance in the field and it was pretty close to an ideal opening act.
"Those are the little things that go unnoticed in baseball that you've got to do to win day in, day out," Rizzo said. "It's just playing baseball."
The touted Rizzo hit .342 with 23 homers and 62 RBIs at Triple-A Iowa. He made his big league debut last season for San Diego, hitting .141 in 49 games before being traded to Chicago over the winter.
Dillon Gee (5-6) struck out six in five innings for the Mets, but gave up four runs and nine hits. The right-hander is 1-3 with a 3.69 ERA in his past six starts.
"It just seemed like everything they hit was getting through somewhere," Gee said. "I wasn't able to settle down and find that rhythm."
New York's David Wright went 0 for 3 with a walk and a sacrifice fly, ending his hitting streak at 15 games. It was the longest active streak in the majors.
"We didn't run the bases, we didn't play good defense, we didn't drive in runs we need to drive in," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "We didn't pitch very good. It's the worst Dillon's pitched in a while, nothing was working. He battled through it, got us five innings."
Luis Valbuena, Darwin Barney, Clevenger and David DeJesus joined Rizzo with two hits apiece for the Cubs, who finished with 12 hits overall.
Valbuena doubled home a run and Barney had a run-scoring single as the Cubs overcame another poor outing by starter Randy Wells.
Wells, subbing for injured right-hander Ryan Dempster in the rotation, lasted just three-plus innings. He was charged with three runs and six hits with four walks.
"Same old story, walking the pitcher," Sveum said. "Those kinds of things aren't acceptable."
Four relievers combined to shut out the Mets over the final five innings. Scott Maine (1-1) threw two scoreless innings for his first big league victory.
"I just tried to keep it close and was able to, came out the next inning and did the same thing," Maine said. "The guys after me tried to keep it close as possible and everybody did their job tonight."
Carlos Marmol worked around a leadoff walk and finished for his fifth save of the season. He became the fourth Cubs pitcher to record 100 career saves.
Josh Thole had two hits and drove in a run for the Mets, who stranded 12 runners, leaving at least one man on base in every inning except the first, and Kirk Nieuwenhuis was caught stealing in that inning.
The Mets established an early two-run lead with four straight two-out singles in the second. Thole and Gee each drove in a run.
Chicago rallied with three runs in the third, aided by a pair of walks.
Game notes
Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said while the club is still gathering information, his "initial understanding" is CF Marlon Byrd's 50-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs will not affect the amount of money the club is responsible for on Byrd's contract. Chicago traded Byrd to the Red Sox on April 21. ... Collins said there is still no timetable for the return of OF Jason Bay (concussion). Collins said a return before the All-Star break is conceivable, but optimistic. ... Mets 1B Ike Davis was ejected in the eighth by first base umpire Manny Gonzalez after arguing a safe call on a pickoff attempt.

World Cup 2014 Recap
The World Cup is an event which occurs every 4 years. It is celebrated by people all over the world because soccer, or futbol, is highly popular. The 2014 World Cup was more festive than past tournaments. This was due in large part to the host country, Brazil. Brazil is a country which is steeped in soccer tradition. Each child starts playing the sport from a young age, and they grow up idolising members of Brazil's national team. However, the host country's team would eventually fall, as its best player, Neymar, was carted off of the field with a broken back. This story was only a small part of the wildly successful tournament.
Perhaps the most shocking game of the tournament took place between Spain, the reigning World cup champion, and Holland. After Spain opened the game with a goal to go up by a score of 1-0, Holland proceeded to dominate the match. Holland's attacking style was too much for Spain. Some people argued that Spain was tired from winning a previous tournament. All fans watched in amazement as Holland beat Spain by a final score of 5-1. Fans felt humiliated, and many of them called for the immediate ouster of the national team's coach. The game's signature moment came from Holland's Robin Van Persie, who shot a diving header for the score.
The World Cup final was a hotly contested affair between Germany and Argentina. As the final game progressed, shots came from both sides, but they either sailed wide of the target, or each team's goal keeper made great saves. The defensive stalemate finally ended when attacker Mario Goetze corralled a pass, and one-timed it with a brilliant shot into the back of the net. The goal put Germany up 1-0, and they would go on to win by that score. Many people saw the Argentinian defeat as a huge failure, mostly due to Lionel Messi's absence from the offence.
Lionel Messi is one of the most famous soccer players in all of the world. He and Christiano Ronaldo consistently vie for the title of best player. However, Messi was noticeably nuetralised during the 2014 World Cup final. His blazing speed and nifty footwork did not materialise in time for Argentina to steal the victory. A few of his shots on goal sailed just wide of the net. Interestingly, some people criticised Messi for being lazy on defence. They felt as if he should show more effort during the transition phases of the game, tickets were rare and only a few outlets were available to purchase these highly sought afterfootball tickets. Messi certainly did not live up to his billing as the best player during the final game of the tournament.
Brazil did a great job hosting the World Cup. The festivities and lively atmosphere made it great fun for all who traveled to witness it. A major drawback to the tournament, however, was the stifling heat. Record heat and humidity required several games to be stopped for periodic water breaks. Fans also suffered in the blazing sun as they watched the matches. Most will confirm that it was well worth it.

Xuanyuan Jian series
Group DescriptionXuanyuan Jian (traditional Chinese 軒轅劍, simplified Chinese 轩辕剑, "The Sword of Xuanyuan") is the largest and longest-running series of Taiwanese-made role-playing games, traditionally set in different historical time periods and referring to various Chinese legends and historical events. Created by DOMO, the development team of Softstar Entertainment, the series began its existence with Xuanyuan Jian (1990), one of the first Chinese-made role-playing games.
Background and SettingThe title refers to the Yellow Emperor (Huang Di), the legendary founder of the Chinese civilization, whose real name is said to be Gongsun Xuanyuan (公孫軒轅). According to Chinese legends and historiography, he lived in the 27th century BC, and wielded a powerful sword, which he used to defeat the warlord Chi You, thus heralding the birth of the Chinese nation. The series' lore further develops this concept, stating that the Sword of Xuanyuan was passed through generations of heroes, but also frequently captured by evil warlords and used by them to further their goals. The sword itself appears in every installment of the series, wielded either by a player-controlled character (as the game's ultimate weapon), or by one of the adversaries.
Xuanyuan Jian games are set in various time periods of the Chinese history, e.g. Qin Dynasty, Three Kingdoms era, Tang Dynasty, and others. In some of the games the setting is pre-historic and/or mythological. Supernatural elements abound in all the games, often used as plot devices to give fictional insights into real events of Chinese history.
GameplayLike most Chinese-made RPGs, Xuanyuan Jian games utilize a Japanese role-playing template, characterized by predominantly linear plot advancement, turn-based combat mechanics, and simple leveling-up systems. A recurrent story- and gameplay-related element is the so-called "Wooden Armor" (木甲) technique, which traces its origins to the famous real-life Chinese philosopher and scientist, Mozi (墨子, 470 BC – 391 BC), who also appears as a character in some of the games. Mozi was known for creating elaborate mechanical constructions; in the series, he and his pupils possess the ability to animate wooden creatures. These often appear in Xuanyuan Jian games, often as enemies, sometimes as playable characters, having their own gameplay abilities and affinities.
Another recurrent gameplay element is the Spirit Fusion Pot (煉妖壺, "Lian Yao Hu"), created by the goddess Nüwa. The player uses this pot to combine items and fuse monsters, which can be captured by certain characters who possess a corresponding battle technique. These monsters can be then summoned during combat, aiding the player-controlled party. In some Xuanyuan Jian games, this element has evolved into the Heavenly Book (天書) feature: the player has access to facilities that produce items, weapons, and armor, and require the presence of captured monsters and collection of raw materials.

Oprah Winfrey is promising big news on her TV talk show, but you'll have to wait until Monday to find out.
Winfrey said on Thursday that she is having her own reunion on the program, The Associated Press reported. She didn't say who would be present at the event, other than it has to do with something she found out about.
"I thought I'd seen it all," said Winfrey in a promo segment. " But this, my friends, is the miracle of all miracles.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I was given some news that literally shook me to my core. This time, I'm the one being reunited. I was keeping a family secret for months, and on Monday you're going to hear it straight from me."
According to the AP, Winfrey is the daughter of unwed teens Vernon Winfrey and Vernita Lee , and was reared by different people such as her grandmother, mother, father and stepmother in Mississippi, Wisconsin and Tennessee. Winfrey herself became a teen mother whose child died afterward, according to a story told by a relative in 1990.
An unauthorized biography of the talk show host by Kitty Kelley last year claims that Vernon Winfrey is not the biological father of Oprah. The author says she knows who the real father is but won't say until Winfrey finds out on her own.
Winfrey is no stranger when it comes to staging reunions on her program—among them were reuniting the cast members from the movie "The Sound of Music" as well as the actual Von Trapp family members depicted in the film; the Osmond family; and Seal and his foster sister.
The media icon recently premiered her own cable network OWN in early January.

As some of you might recall from Tea Love's Facebook, I recently attended a spa event in my downtown Cranford, New Jersey area held by a new store, Artemisia. They cite themselves as an "Artisan Gift Shop featuring American-made, Fair-trade eco-friendly and organic gifts for Beauty & Home." What I found most exciting? They sell organic tea there! Of course, I plan on going straight over there after getting my pay check.
While perusing their tea collection (all loose tea), a woman approached and asked what the difference was between loose tea and bagged tea. The store's owner, Wendy, explained to her some of the basic reasoning. Needless to say, I stood nearby bubbling with excitement, barely able to contain my know-it-all-ology of all things tea-related. I kept my mouth shut or I would have gone on an hour-long tangent about tea sprinkled with plenty of shameless plugs for my blog.
But there are a few reasons to choose a loose tea over a bagged tea.
Bagged teas, granted, are great for expediency and less mess. After all, what is better than just taking a tea bag, throwing it in some boiling water and running out the door? And on top of that, you do not need to clean out two tea pots; you only need to wash out your tea mug and you are done. But the issue is that tea bags contain what is known as tea fannings, or dusts. What do I mean by this?
Leave the computer for a second and go get a tea bag. Open the tea bag (you might want to be careful here, so you do not get tea all over your keyboard). Look inside that mish-mosh of, well, whatever is in there. Most of the times, you cannot distinguish between the items in the mesh bag. Brands like Mighty Leaf does have tea bags that are rich in contents and you can tell the difference, true, but most tea bags are just the fannings. This does allow you a faster brew, but you lose the flavor or get too much flavor, depending on the tea. Not only that, some teas that can be steeped more than once often cannot be unless it is a loose tea.
Loose tea leaves allow for a richer flavor and allows the tea leaves to actually open. You are getting the best quality this way. You can also easily blend your tea, which is an added perk if you care to experiment. The down side? The best way to drink loose tea is to throw it into a separate tea pot, allow the tea to brew and pour that into a tea mug. You make twice the mess and you take up more time this way. You can throw it into a tea ball but the tea leaves do not have a chance to open, thus robbing it of its flavor. Honestly, brewing the former is worth it, I do promise you that. But yes, it is a bit more of a hassle. I suppose loose tea just keeps you brewing tea the way it was meant to be – slowly and surely, a product to be savored.
Both loose tea and bagged tea do have expiration dates. After six months, tea tends to lose its flavor and after a year of improper storage (not storing the tea in an air-tight container), it will become stale. Proper storage is key.
I am fully guilty of throwing in a tea bag into a mug and running around in the mornings but if you want a better cup of tea that you can sit down and enjoy, go after loose. It will be well worth the effort.

{nl}On Friday, April 30, a very special visitor came to the campus of Alice Lloyd College, accompanied by local missionaries Hazel Huff and Donna Dudte. Alice Loyd (spelled with only one L), a missionary originally from Washington, D.C., had known of Alice Lloyd College for quite some time, but had never visited campus. Alice learned of ALC during her studies at a Baptist college in Columbia, South Carolina. Each week, her prayer group would pray for the continued success of Alice Lloyd College. After college, Alice Loyd began her career as a missionary and served for 38 years in Ireland. Once she returned to the United States, Alice continued her missionary work. A missionary retreat held this past weekend at Camp Nathaniel gave Alice Loyd the opportunity to visit the college she had been praying for many years ago.

|Gender and
Read for This Week's Study:
|Mark 5:25-34; Luke 1:26-38; 8:1-3; 10:38-42; John 4:4-30.
Memory Text:
|"Then Mary said, 'Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word' " (Luke 1:38, NRSV).
|Women were, one way or another,
intimately involved in Christ's ministry, even from the start. Mary, His
earthly mother, gave birth to the infant Jesus. Of course, only a woman could
have done that, but her example of faith and submission remains a powerful
one for all who would seek to be a disciple of Jesus. Then, all through the
Gospels, we can see the crucial role of women. From Mary the mother of Jesus,
from the woman who touched His garment and was healed, to the woman at the
well, and others, it is clear that a woman open to the prompting of God's
grace could be a follower and disciple of Christ.
In an attempt to gain more insights into what it means to be a disciple, this week we will take a look at how Jesus interacted with some women.
This Week at a Glance:
|What incredible things was Mary, Jesus' mother, asked to accept on faith? What does the Bible say about the role of women in the ministry of Jesus? What can we learn about discipleship from the story of the woman at the well?
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, February 2.
|January 27
"Be It Unto Me"
Read Luke 1:26-38. Try to place yourself in the position of Mary. What can we learn about her character from these verses? What very difficult things was she told to believe?
Even in an ancient society, where the concept of the supernatural was much more readily accepted than it is in many of our modernistic, scientific cultures, the angel's words to Mary must have stretched her faith to the limits. First, she would be pregnant though still a virgin. Had that ever happened before in the history of the world? If that were not hard enough, her child would be the son of God. Her question, "How shall this be?" was natural and normal enough. But once the angel pointed her to the miracle of her cousin Elisabeth, who conceived in old age (Luke 1:5-25), and then gave her the powerful reassurance, "For with God nothing shall be impossible" (vs. 37), Mary responded with an affirmation of faith and acceptance.
Read prayerfully and carefully her response to the angel: "Be it unto me, according to thy word" (vs. 38). What kind of attitude does this reveal? What kind of model of faith does Mary's example provide for us?
After centuries of theological discussion on the question of the Incarnation (the coming of Jesus in humanity), the subject remains an incredible mystery. Imagine how much this young woman did not understand about what was happening to her. And yet, even with all she did not know, she surrendered herself in faith to the Lord and wanted His will to be done.
|As with Mary, we are asked to believe in things we do not fully understand. Compare your spirit to the spirit of faith Mary represented here. How open are you to trusting God on the things you just do not understand?
|January 28
Female Followers of Jesus
Luke 8:1-3 describes Jesus' second Galilean tour. Besides the twelve original disciples, who else accompanied Jesus on this tour?
Luke is very explicit that women accompanied Jesus on His missionary tours. This should not be surprising, because Luke's Gospel emphasizes the salvation and the release Jesus brought to the outcasts, the women.
"Luke is the only gospel writer to record many of the details of the early life of Jesus, and often does so from the viewpoint of the women most concernedMary, Elisabeth, and Anna. . . . It is as if Luke were saying the gospel of the kingdom of heaven was as much for women as for men, and that their part in its proclamation was equally important."The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, pp. 769, 770.
Jesus' act of allowing female disciples was unique. Various religious movements in that time did not include women. Some teachers said that women were emptyheaded, were not to be taught, should not be seen in public with men, and should be confined to the home and domestic arts. Yet from the earliest pages of the Gospel right up to the end, women, in one way or another, were involved in the life and mission of Jesus.
Read Matthew 27:55, 56 and Mark 15:40, 41. What more do they add about the role of women in the ministry of Jesus?
Having been healed of various maladies, some of these women showed their love and devotion by assisting in His work and providing for His sustenance. Some of them might have been widows since they were part of the missionary tour and had sustenance to provide for the needs of Jesus and His disciples. Whatever the specifics, the Word of God shows that women played an important role in the earliest days of the church.
|Read Galatians 3:28. Looking beyond the immediate context, what should these words tell about how contrary to the principles of Christ prejudice is? Examine your own heart. What attitude and prejudices might you be holding that are contrary to God's Word?
|January 29
"If I May Touch His Clothes . . ."
Read Mark 5:25-34, the famous account of the woman healed from a distressing malady. Though the story does not portray the woman as a disciple per se, she displayed the kind of faith so necessary for discipleship.
Notice the interesting contrast between how she approached Jesus and how Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, did (Mark 5:22, 23).
What were the differences between their approaches? At the same time, what was the one thing they apparently had in common?
As far as we can tell, this woman had not seen Jesus before. According to the text, it was when she had heard of Him that she came. Someone had witnessed to her, telling her of this Man, and she moved ahead in faith, even without seeing anything for herself. This was her first act of faith (see also John 20:29, Heb. 11:1).
No question; according to the texts, the woman was desperate. Levitical law deemed her unclean. People were not to come in physical contact with her. If she had been married, she would not have been allowed intimate relations with her husband; in fact, technically, she would not even have been able to touch her own children. All this for twelve years!
What was the next great act of faith on her part?
However secretly the woman sought to act, Jesus turned it into a public display. She told Him (and everyone listening) what had happened. By giving her own testimony, she did her first act as a disciple. Now that the whole event was known publicly, how much easier it would be for her to tell others about what Jesus had done for her. She had come to Jesus because she had heard about Him; she now could tell others about Him as well.
|Why must we continue to trust in the Lord even when healing, as or when we want it, does not come? If we stop trusting, what have we left?
|January 30
Troubled by Many Things
In order to be a disciple, we need to know Jesus personally. We must have a close relationship with Him. This can come only by spending time with Him. In our busy lives, with so many important things vying for our time, how easy it is to get caught up in things, even good and important things, and let our relationship with God slip.
Read Luke 10:38-42. How does this episode reveal how even good things can distract us from what is most important? What message for you can be found in the story of these two female "disciples"?
Mary heard His word. No one can be a true disciple who does not hear His word. The text said, too, that she sat at His feet. First-century teachers sat on high stools while their students sat at their feet on lower stools or the floor. To sit at one's feet means to adopt the posture of a disciple or learner. That she sat at Jesus' feet meant that she was His student (compare Acts 22:3).
In contrast was her sister, Martha. The Greek text says that she was "drawn away" by much serving. In one sense, this could be understandable. After all, the Master had come to their house, so it was their responsibility to tend to their guests' needs. At the same time, her plea that her sister help also echoed customary conventional values and expectations. Mary's place was in the kitchenthe part of the household designated for womennot in the dining area with the men.
Yet Jesus did not rebuke Mary; He chided Martha. He named her twice, perhaps showing concern. Martha's complaints were justified, but Jesus' rebuke reminds us there are issues more important than other necessary things. We all need to take heed, for sometimes we allow the urgent to crowd out the important, or the good to exclude the vital and necessary.
|How can you find the proper balance in your own life between things that must be done and spending time at the feet of Jesus? What adjustments might you need to make? At the same time, can one ever be too much like Mary and not enough like Martha? If so, how?
|January 31
The Woman at the Well
Read John 4:4-30. How did Jesus go about winning the confidence of this woman and, essentially, turning her into a disciple?
The process of winning the woman of Samaria deserves the most careful study on the part of all who set out to win others to Christ.
There were four main stages in this process: (1) The awakening of a desire for something better (vss. 7-15); (2) The awakening of a conviction of personal need (vss. 16-20); (3) The call for a decision to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah (vss. 21-26); (4) The stimulus to action appropriate to the decision (vss. 26-30, 39-42).
Imagine what must have gone on in the mind of this woman. First, this stranger, a Jew, shows her unexpected kindness. The next thing she knows, He reveals to her some of her deepest and darkest secrets, something that most likely no one but she knew. Her response, "Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet" (vs. 19), is a confession, not only of her own sins, but that Jesus is Someone special. Notice, too, that when the woman sought to change the subject, Jesus did not press her anymore with her sins. Instead, He picked up on her conversation and used it to point to more truth, ultimately leading her back to Himself, this time not as a prophet but as the Messiah. Impressed by Jesusno doubt mostly by His knowledge of her secretsthe woman believed Him.
Look at how she witnessed to her own people (vss. 29, 39). What so impressed her about Jesus? Might there not have been a bit of a confession in her own witness? How effective was this witness?
The Lord changed this woman, apparently no bastion of purity and piety, into a powerful witness for Himself. What lessons can you draw from this story about (1) not judging the hearts of others, and (2) forgiveness and grace even for the worst of sinners?
|February 1
Further Study:
|Read The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, pp. 607, 608, 656, 657,
669, 670, 785, 786, 940-942; Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages,
pp. 524-536.
"The 'one thing' that Martha needed was a calm, devotional spirit, a deeper anxiety for knowledge concerning the future, immortal life, and the graces necessary for spiritual advancement. She needed less anxiety for the things which pass away, and more for those things which endure forever. Jesus would teach His children to seize every opportunity of gaining that knowledge which will make them wise unto salvation,"Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 525.
"One of the characteristics of the Gospel of Luke is its frequent references to Christ's ministry for the womenfolk of Palestine and the ministry of some of them on His behalf. This was something new, for the role of Jewish women in public life had been a relatively minor one, although in isolated instances, prophets like Elisha had ministered to women and been ministered to by them."The SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, p. 769.
Discussion Questions:
| Go back over the story of Mary being told about
becoming Jesus' mother. Again, think about what amazing things she was told
to believe, things she could not possibly understand. Think about many of
the things we Christians are told to believe that we cannot possibly understand.
And though we do not understand them, we still have faith and even reasons
to believe them. Bring your thoughts to class and, as a class, talk about
these things and why we can and should believe them, regardless of what we
do not understand. How can we help others who are struggling to believe in
things that, in the end, have to be taken on faith?
At a time when, in most countries, the membership of the church seems to be predominantly female, why should the church not discourage female discipleship?
Jesus was revolutionary, transforming, liberating, innovative, restorative, sensitive, and supportive. No one was ignored, marginalized, or ostracized in His presence. Contemporary disciples should emulate Him and model His example for all classes, cultures, genders, peoples, and nations. How can you help your local church be a place where all are welcomed and can find a role in service?
|I N S I D E Story
by DANIEL PEREZ
Only a few of the teenagers attend the little mission school on our island in southern Philippines. Most are embarrassed because they can't read or write and don't want to be teased by their younger siblings who attend the mission school. So these teenage boys spend their time diving in the coral reefs and catching fish. They keep us supplied with fresh fish every day.
We teachers wanted to reach these young men, but we were not sure how. Finally we decided to try to engage them through sports. We told the boys what we wanted to do, and they helped us clear an area to make a simple basketball court. We found a metal ring to use as the hoop and pooled our money to buy a basketball. Then we taught them to play. They enjoyed the game and soon played quite well. We formed teams to encourage them.
We went swimming with them and invited them to eat at our cottage. Sometimes we worshiped with them in their Mosque. We became friends.
During a group massage session we held for the boys, some of them opened their hearts to us. They talked about problems they faced, and we listened. Little by little we realized that they noticed we don't smoke, don't drink fermented coconut juice, and don't eat shellfish. Their religion forbids these things, but they do them anyway.
One day they expressed their questions to us. "Teacher," one said. "You are different from most Christians we know. You don't smoke or drink alcohol or eat pork as most Christians do. Our elders tell us that smoking and drinking alcohol is bad because it destroys the Masjid [temple] of Allah.
"We Muslims worship on Friday, and most Christians worship on Sunday. You Adventists are a bridge between Muslims and Christians, and you worship on Saturday. Thus, you live the life of true Islam. That is why we respect you as you live up to what a true child Of Allah should be. Thus, we will call you Chrislams, which means Christians who live as Islam."
We were humbled as we realized that our actions had spoken so clearly what our mouths couldn't say to these sincere and open young sons of Islam. Pray for them as they search for the path to the living God. Pray for the student missionaries who teach these children of Allah to truly live for Him.
Our mission offerings help support Mountain View College, which sends student missionaries throughout southern Philippines.

Various outlets, including Us Weekly and Britain's Heat magazine, have reported that the pair will tie the knot in India in a lavish ceremony, which will last for almost a week.
Heat reported that the guest list includes pals Rihanna (who recently hosted Katy's bachelorette party in Las Vegas), former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, David Walliams of HBO's "Little Britain USA" and UK talk show host Jonathan Ross. The guests will be flown in via private jet, Us Weekly reported.

According to both mags, the couple will take part in a host of Indian traditions for their nuptials. Heat reported that the pair would have their hands tied together with special threads, and Russell will have a red dot made of turmeric powder put on his head by Katy's relatives.
Additionally, Katy's bridal gown is also expected to pull from Indian tradition.
"Katy wants to wear a sari," a friend told Heat.

While the wedding date is approaching, Russell is keeping as quiet as he can about it.
"I'm trying to preserve it, to keep it a beautiful thing," he said at a New York Times "TimesTalks" event on Tuesday, according to Us Weekly. "I think people get the wrong idea on how we want the wedding to play out. Love between two people is the most spectacular yet ordinary thing in the world."
Reps for Katy and Russell did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Access Hollywood.
In related news, Katy has been announced as one of the headliners for "VH1 Divas Salute the Troops" alongside Nicki Minaj and Hayley Williams of rock outfit Paramore. The ladies will perform for the service people at Miramar, the Marine Corps Air Station near San Diego.
