Learn to Let Go and Let God
Rely on the incredibly hard prayer that Jesus prayed.
The Bible is the perfect place to turn when you are going through rough times. "Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken" (Psalm 55:22). These are true promises, with the seeds of inner peace hidden in them.
But it's easy to misread these passages to mean that God is a magic problem-solver, a genie whose main job is to make us happy today. It's easy to assume that casting our troubles on God means He will take our troubles away. Sometimes, though, He doesn't.
Featured Product
The Daily Bible
Laid out in chronological order so you can follow the Bible just as it happened – like a magnificent epic novel!
I love the phrase "Let go and let God" because it sounds so simple. But there are times when we aren't clear what it is we're supposed to let go of. And there are other times we want to let go, we try to let go—and it just doesn't happen. Why?
Sometimes there's a difference in what we want to give up and what we need to release. We might be holding tightly to something we think of as good, like better health for a loved one or changed behavior in a wayward child. And though it's never wrong to desire good things, there are times when we have to let go of what we think is best.
Other times we grip tightly to assumptions about the way life "should" be. We think things ought to be easier or being a parent shouldn't be so hard. We fight what we're being asked to do—effectively resisting taking up our cross (Matthew 16:24) the way Jesus commanded. Sometimes what we must give up are our preconceived notions of how life is supposed to work.
But in every case, what "Let go and let God" comes down to is this: We need to let go of our own will. We must claim as our own the incredibly hard prayer that Jesus prayed: "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but Yours be done" (Luke 22:42). We need to let go and let God do what God wills. This submission will lead to peace and joy, even when the way is difficult. "Father, I place my life in Your hands!" (Luke 23:46).
Your Comments (26)
Thanks for the answer I was looking for . Everytime I would go in get prayer and God would speak to me through somebody he would tell me to stop. trying to things on my own when I thought I already. gave him the situation it. really. had. me confused. thanks again.
How does a nonbeliever who wants something to believe in learn faith in something like God? I have recently been through hell and back and I am so confused. I need help. I am lost on where to turn.
Wow...nobody answered you...let me try.
My journey started when I read , "Seek and you will find." Life is a product of what we search for, isn't it? Seek to learn the Word, Seek good teachers, pray for faith, protection, wisdom and discernment.
A very comprehensive, well written article.
Im gng thru spiritual warefare & Im so angry & tired of fighting I just want to die. Im tired.
I have had a difficult time letting go someone emotionally.It is affecting my life my health my ability to work steady. I need to learn How to let go & let God but I dont know how. Please help me.
I really could use some prayer. My faith is shaken and I'm struggling with some things in my life. At times I feel as if God just does not care about my problem.
I read your comment and tears came to my eyes. We all have been there and will be there again. Remember, he will never leave you nor forsake you. It's hard to remember when we are struggling. Read Psalms 27:1-2; this helped me ladt year when I was losing my grandma and has helped me since. Also Philipians 4:13.
I will be praying for. Praying that you get through this struggle and that you have peace. He loves you! Another verse that really helps me in struggles is Proverbs 3:5.
I know EXACLY how you feel. I was in the same situation, going through things and I was so close of giving up. I just wanted to die literally !! But tonight was the finale straw for me! I know Jesus and God is real !! So therefore I KNOW they have NOT forgotten about me nor turn away from me. Everything I was going through, every worry I had, I just gave it to Them and I feel GREAT!!! I know satan is going to test me and tempt me. He wants us to feel like crap, he wants up to think God and Jesus has giving up on us - don't give into it!!!! Stay strong! Pray! Read your Bible! Go to Jesus and God hard!! They hear you! It WILL get better!!
I was suffering and having problems from the sins I was committing and believe it or not, it was all a Blessing. Because of my wrong doings, it brought me back to Jesus and God.
I don't know what problems you may be going through, but please stay close to Jesus and God. Your faith is there, what little you have of it, hold on to it. Just keep Praying, AND GIVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS to Jesus and God. I will pray for you. Jesus Peace Be With You.
At times lately I feel the same way too- but he didn't forget about us. This dark tunnel we're in is for a purpose . And the purpose is to draw us closer to him. Only thing we believers need to do is let go and let god, preserve and stay in his word. And when we arrive from the tunnel and hard times, well be stronger in GOD and rich in wisdom. Just hold on, I know I am- I'm worst off on my own.
God gave me a song about this when I was deep in an addiction. Over and over God said, "Dan let go and let me handle this but I was determined to manage my life all to no avail. It was only when I surrendered to Him that my life was saved. I would be honored to share the song with you.
I realized after reading all your encouraging words I want to say thank you I realize with my own ability I have no control however God has the power to change minds and hearts please keep me and my family in prayer I'm going through a process and situation I realize only God can turn it around for my good and ultimately he get all the glory !!!
Please help me
Went to church Thursday had a horrible week angry alone , resentment I was told to leave my pass God has something new and better for me. I am trying, I won't give up. I know God is good
I've been told by a couple of prophetess that I should let go and let God. To be honest, I don't know what to let go of and I'm so confused. I've cried and prayed, prayed and cried, I'm seeking God in very solum way and he's said to me that I must trust Him whole heartedly. Truth be told, I trust Him, but in the mean time all hell is breaking loose in my home, my finances, my marriage. It seems that everything that could go wrong, is, and I stand on His word and promises, but in the process I feel so alone
God is right there with you. Remeber that you are more than a conqueror. Pray before you do anything and let Gods will be done. I believe that the Lord will lead you in the pathway of righteousness and make his way plan. Don't do what you think, but do as the Holy Spirit dictates to you. I am certainly praying that God will do exceeding abudantly above all you can ask and think in your life. Remember Jeremiah 29:11
What has changed in Denise's life since March? I hope it was a good outcome.
I need to learn what to let go. Husband had a stroke, feb 10. he was working. I have a sick children, now him, bills are on top of me. 6 months pregnant. sale avon, marykay. i just dont know where to start. What i know how to do i can not.

No one came to garage sale, no one came type fundraiser. So i just dont know. help me lord. please.
Be a prisoner of Hope in Jesus. He will answer you. You will see. God Bless.
be patient & keep fighting. i'm praying for you. he hears you he sees you.
The phrase, "Let go and let God" literally saved my life over a decade ago when a complete stranger said that to me when I was contemplating suicide. I will never forget the INSTANT feeling of crushing, black weight lifted off me and the light that exploded within me. I will never forget that moment when I was born again. Leslie James said he was a single dad and restaurant chef. He needs to add "guardian angel" to his resume.
Fast forward to last week. I've been dealing with a bunch of issues that were getting me down and caused a major fight w/my husband. I saw a bumper sticker that said "Stop worrying, God is in control." Man, I needed to see that! Indeed He is.
Finally it dawns on me what "Let go. Let God. " actually means. Thy will be done!!!! That last paragraph spoke volumes to me.
I really didnt understand the passage until reading this. Thanks. I really nd to read this today.
Thank you LORD for this message. Please rekindle in me the spirit of forgiveness and the will to let go and surrender to your will.

Chapter nineteen- I hate this place0 Reviews
I hate this place more than I've ever hated anything, ever. I hate it more than I hate him, and that's a lot.
He put me here, him and Brooke.
They've taken me to (Yeah, Blake was right) a mental institution.
I want to go back to jersey, to sleep all day and to have my best friends back, I don't want to be here.
I won't sleep, I won't eat and I won't speak; this is making them think theres even more things wrong with me but I don't care.
The longest I ever spent without sleep was four days, not eating was six days and not speaking was two years at one point.
But that was way before I got myself landed here, big deal I cut myself.
Would these people rather that I destroy my body or kill myself?
Yeah, destroy my body.
I hate this place! I want to be back in Blake's warm embrace, I want to look into his beautiful honeycomb eyes and I want to feel his lips against mine.
I want Ash and Joey to still be living and I want none of this to have ever happened.
These people here are giving me councelling but it's a waste of time, I don't speak to anyone. I just want to go home.
Frank visits me on the weekend, he tells me that I can come home in two days even if I don't talk to anyone, I just nod sadly and he doesn't need to hear me ask to answer my question,
"Blake is okay, he misses you, y'know? He's sad and he won't get out of bed and he's been crying a lot. We've (Jamia and I) managed to confiscate all his sharp objects or anything he can use to cut himself, and we've taken all the dangerous things out of the house now because he's started living with us. The media calls him 'our charity case' but we all know he's a lot more than that" I nod.
He takes my hands in his, "You can make it through Steph. Look at what Gerard did, come on, I know you're strong"
I look at him without expression, he kisses my cheek softly and says "I'll see you soon" before I watch him leave.
If this happened two months ago I would've been in hysterics because Frank Iero just spoke to me, let alone kissed me but now I just sigh and go back to the garden, I could sit here for hours on end and just think; get lost in my thoughts.
I'm not sure whether I was suicidal or I just was homesick, there was three things I knew for sure;
1. Ash was the best friend I ever had
2. I love Blake and
3. I hate this place

Local bars have partnered with Yuengling to start what they hope will become a new barcrawl tradition in , in the name of honoring our policemen and firefighters.
The pub crawl will start on July 21 at 5 p.m. and includes these locations: , , , , Slap Shots, , Albert's, and .
Yuengling donated 500 shirts for the "Bars and Stripes" pub tour that will cost $15 at any of the participating bars. All proceeds go to the police and fire departments.
Anyone wearing a "Bars and Stripes" t-shirt will get $2 drafts of Yuengling and Yuengling Lite all night. Yuengling also donated other prizes that bar crawlers can win through giveaways, and prizes for drinking at each bar.
"The police and fire department are always good to us. They're always there to help," said Cain's Saloon owner Joe DeMarco, who helped plan the pub crawl.
DeMarco said the bar owners were brainstorming a way to give back to the servicemen and started planning the event this June. Yuengling was sympathetic to the cause and great to work with, according to DeMarco.
Demarco hopes that each year the event will grow until eventually the pub crawl will generate thousands of dollars for the police and firefighters.
"They do so much for the borough. They're like unsung heroes," DeMarco said.
Representatives from the police and fire departments could not be reached for comment prior to the publication of this article.

Carrots are sold at only 50 p here which is quite cheap for carrots,I found good prices for the apples here as well which i was happy about.
Sunny Delight was also on offer at buy one get one free,some of the deals here were quite good and kept me happy.The downside was their is only 4 members of staff working here,2 are cashiers and the other 2 are around the supermarket but its hard to find help with a lot of people around.
I also noticed i paid up 3 p for each shopping bag,so if you are buying a lot of stuff from here the 3p cost can build up.Lidl however is quite on a lot of its good so you cant complain really.
I am on the Lidl email list so they email me once a week to tell me of the exciting new bargains, like pink wine for £3.16 (giggedy), and 8 cans of Carlsberg (500ml, not the baby ones) for £4.69 (I jest you not). Today though they told me I could buy a bra for £2.99. I think I'll pass on that one.
I have got a staple list of things I buy from Lidl now!
Chorizo - £1.79
Avocados - 17p
Antiwrinkle Cream with that Q10 stuff in (because I am old now) - £1.83
Wow the bargains just keep on coming
I had my first ever Lidl experience last night. Me and my OH popped in to purchase some cheapy fireworks on the way home so I thought I'd have a quick browse whilst there.
Overall I found the place a bit depressing, it was eerily quiet apart from a baby crying, no music or anything to make your shopping experience more pleasent. I don't think it's the type of place you can do your weekly shop but more the kind of place you can go to get cheap ingredients etc although I did notice they had lobster for £4.99 which I might just have to give ago although I fear I may end up will shell food poisoning after.
I don't think I'll be venturing into this store anytime soon as it was a bit soul destroying but it was late at night and its probably more the area than the place itself so I won't be ruling out going to another Lidl just yet so watch this space!
Although this is not my main supermarket, it is close to home and on my way home from work so when i need the odd item you would think you can nip in quickly and be home. OH no. There is never enough staff on the tills so if you have a few with full weeks shopping and you need one or 2 items you can still be waiting half hour. Also on one occassion after waiting a very long time, the manager went to the front to pay for his own bottle of water. Why was he not made to queue? I complained to be told he was busy....charming!!!! Other than that some things are reasonably priced and think it owuld do a lot better if the service was quicker and friendly.

As for the organ transplant, one has to have a donor first. In the US, organs are ususally rationed on a first come best use basis. And organs cannot be readily stored. So when an organ comes available, it has be be used immediately or they are worthless.
As for cost, the US cannot afford not to control healthcare cost and reform healthcare. As pointed out in the Business Roundtable study, costs are rising at several orders of magnitude greater than income.

Health Care Reform
First of all I would just like to say that I oppose President Obama's new Health Care reform, and this is for several reasons. I believe in a Free Enterprise system of Health Care, meaning that I do not believe that the government should be involved, specifically, in private businesses and whether they provide health care for their employees or not. I personally believe that health care is a privilege, and not a right. For those individuals that are struggling and not able to receive private health care, there are already several different social programs in which the government offers which are paid for by those who are capable of working and contributing to the tax vault of our country. So i do not see when there needs to be a reform. Those who are left without health care are not necessarily abandoned, because there are other options that are available to them currently.
President Obama's new health care system that he has presented to our country is that he will take the money from the existing Medicare Program, which is designed for the elderly and the sick and use it to pay for those who do not have health care. I noticed that some people were posting on here that they believed it "would be more fair for him to do this because it would benefit families who cant afford health care so that they don't have to worry", however I would have to disagree with you, and say that this is actually unfair. The money that is being given to those who do not have health care, is money that is being taken away from others. The elderly and sick individuals are the people who need health care the most, and in order for this reform to happen the government is taking money from one group of people and giving it to another. How is this fair? The current Medicare recipients have worked their entire lives, paid taxes and social security, and they are the individuals that deserve the health care. Not those who have not contributed. Also, as for small businesses, President Obama wants to make all employers pay, and if the employer refuses to do so, then they will be fined. The only way, in which this will be a benefit to anyone, is if the employer is capable of paying for the health care of their employees. But what happens if they are not capable? If a small business does not want to pay for health care for all of their employees, they should not have to do so, considering this would cause them to have to take out of the profits that they have made. Businesses obviously should be entitled to make the decision on their own, because the reason that individuals work, is to make profits. These profits go towards hiring more workers, feeding their families, buying products for their companies, having insure, and offering pay raises to their employees. In order to stimulate the economy, all of these things are needed in the small businesses so that they can expand. It is also stated that more than 50% of employers pay for part, or all of their employees health care anyways, so why would this reform be needed to force all businesses to do it, when most of them do anyways?

Well...Where does Medicare get its funding then? If you have a paystub, from any pay check that you have recieved, you obviously know that it is a mandate withdrawl of 7.85% paid for by the employee and 7.85% paid for by the employers...which is Social Security/Meidcare.This is mandated to be paid (or in other words...taken from) employees and employers.
Most importantly, the US does not have a free enterprise system of healthcare today. Healthcare markets are very regulated. Everything from physician training and certification to the marketing of prescription drugs is monitored and regulated by multiple government agencies. All of this industry induced and supported regulation has led to oligipolies that gives producers virtually absoulte control over pricing with statuatory legal pricing protections (e.g. Medicare Prescription Drug Bill with no bid provisions).
The Democrat approach uses government purchasing power to drive some competition into the healthcare market place. You can look at the Democrat approach as similar to Alexander's solving the Gordian knot.
As for the Democrats wanting to take money from Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage), Part C was implemented in 1999 by our dear Republican friends in congress was a giveaway of public funds to the insurance industry, adding little in the way of value to the elderly especially if they became chronically ill. Taking that additional funding which does not contribute to nor take away from Medicare core benefits does not leave the elderly without insurance.

The question is do we want to continue down the path we are on which will result in higher taxes, larger deficits, and more individuals uninsured or do we want to reform healthcare as proposed by Democrats by interjecting some good old free market competition and reduce expected healthcare costs by a 100 plus billion dollars and cover everyone in the process.
I suggest you take a look at the positions of the Business Roundtable, American Medical Association, American Association of Retired People, American Nursing Association.

...worrying that it might put the economy in worse shape than it is.
Among the Democrats, though, there is relatively little debate as to whether we should improve our healthcare system. On the other hand, there actually is debate as far as HOW to improve our healthcare system.
Unfortunately, some incredibly dishonest politicians, namely the GOP, have been trying to persuade people to believe that this means that some Democrats have chosen to align themselves with the GOP. This is a false characterization, but it benefits the GOP if they can persuade the American public to believe that have some strength left in Congress.
The truth is that the GOP has been completely castrated at this point. They are probably going to lose in next year's elections, and hopefully we'll finally be able to round up these criminals, and shove them into Guantanamo.
The Israeli government pays about $4,000 less per person for healthcare than here in the United States.
We should abolish fire brigades, by God! After all, weren't fire brigades the invention of Nero? Remember how Nero used to persecute the followers of Jesus? Fire brigades are a harbinger of the Antichrist!
We should abolish ALL emergency services! We are being taxed to death! Why in the Hell should I have to pay an arm and a leg out of my tax dollars to keep some friggin' moron's house from burning down because he left a paper towel on the stove? I would never do something that stupid, so why should I have to pay for the consequences of other people's mistakes?!
But hey, if you want it, then let it happen! The government will SPEND and SPEND and SPEND some more, and all of us who WORK for a living will PAY and PAY and PAY some more! And what are we paying for? We are paying for the incompetence and laziness of wasteful degenerates who will never amount to anything! That's what!
That's no utopia! That's a vision of Hell!!! And meanwhile, I have completely forgotten about the concept that I could be paying LESS, in tax dollars, under universal healthcare! I honestly don't give a crap! It is just sickening to any honest, working man to see people who will never lift a finger to help themselves being treated for some life-threatening disease!
Honestly! How could you do that??? They should be suffering in pain, not getting free healthcare!!! How could you do something so horrible to people who worked for their entire lives to get the same thing? Doing all that work just won't be worth it all of a sudden! WASTED!!! I feel like I wasted my time showing up for work every business day, for the only thing that motivates me to show any personal responsibility is the opportunity for personal gain! I never liked showing up for work because I never liked anyone there, and that's because I voted against all those laws saying my employer had to treat me okay! Boo-hoo-hoo!
My father never hugged me after I was six years old, and that taught me that I should stand up for myself! It taught me that losers will always be losers, and they will always get what they deserve! Now that you've got me so upset, I'm going to go home and beat my son and bounce him off the walls, so he'll grow up to show you a thing or two!

I think what you don't understand is that house that is on fire is your house. And the fire needs to be fought in order to save all of our homes.
I agree with you that taxes on the middle class are exorbitant and job pressures are mounting. However, that does not mean that health insurance and healthcare costs should not be controlled and the healthcare system improved and more competitive, else healthcare will become a thing of the past for middle class Americans as it will become unafforable. Additionally, government will be forced to default on its already existing healthcare commitments (see Business Roundtable study).
Healthcare costs today are high and growing because of all the special interest regulation forced on healthcare consumers by the healthcare industry. It is high past time for more competition in the healthcare industry that favors the working stiff and his family.

I agree with your argument that much of the information found on the Internet about health care has been misinterpreted. Although, I also believe that information taken from an actual speech, such as the information that I have researched about the health care situation is more reliable than a Wikipedia source. If anybody would like to watch the speech given by Congressman Mike Rogers, it is available on YouTube.

Below is a link to the referenced text, show me where it validates the claim that you attribute to Congressman Rogers.
The bottom line, the statement you attributed to Congressman Rogers is not correct. No where in the bill does it say that the comissioner has the power to disenroll individuals from their own plan. Why am I not suprised to see more false and/or misleading information coming from the anti-healthcare side?

There are facts that show that this Democratic proposal will in fact hurt our country's economy.
An additional concern with the Democratic Health Care proposal has to do with small businesses. The board of directors for the National Business Association has made it a goal to ensure that small businesses and the self employed are provided access to health care at a reasonable cost without endangering business growth or job creation. However, the Democrats proposed bill will create massive government bureaucracy, will burden small businesses, and will threaten choice options. With high levels of unemployment, increased taxation on small businesses to create health care reform, will actually cause further harm to our economy. This bill imposes a new 5.4% federal income surtax on many individuals and small businesses.

As a small business owner, I am well aware of foolish government regulations and burdens placed on the small business owner. However, I see no burdensome issues with the Democratic healthcare reform proposals on small businesses. For most small businesses, there will be no change at all except their employees will have healthcare. As a small business owner, improving the health of my work force is a good thing! Healthier employees are better workers.
What they did not say is that company's with payrolls below a half million dollars per year are exempt from this mandate. Presumably the owners profits are not part of payroll in a situation like a medical practice. A company that has a half million dollar payroll is larger than what I usually think of when I think of small business.
Maybe they should raise the mandate level to a five million per year payroll so the larger companies that are also too small to cope well with the mandate also are released from the mandate.
I am ambivalent and don't really like the approach taken. It is just too complicated and solves too little at too high of a price.

With the emphasis on healthcare, aren't we leaping happily onto the slippery slope of socialism (or fascism or communism or whatever the fuck you wish to call taxing the shit out of the rich in order to provide for the poor)?
Let's not get hung up on terminology. If it ain't socialism, then call it whatever you wish to call it. But is it a slippery slope into something like "Brave New World" where the gov provides happy pills and the sex is simply for the asking?
Take one of the sentences above and change a few words:
"However, that does not mean that (food and housing) costs should not be controlled and the (food and housing) system improved and more competitive, else (food and housing) will become a thing of the past for middle class Americans as it will become unafforable."
And we could do the same for any of the essentials for human living, coudln't we? The large and looming slippery slope towards ...ahh, everything free (or damned cheap) for everyone and anyone? ...all of it paid for by taxing the shit outta' the wealthy and using it to provide for the poorer people?
Interestingly, wouldn't y'all say that food and shelter is far, far more important than healthcare? So why ain't y'all fighting for "affordable food and shelter" ...paid for by taxing the shit outta' the rich?

Alex and Dixon on Signing day
When Alex and Myself signed up to each other's fate, recently, it was after many months of building trust and soul searching. For Alex – renowned control freak – allowing anyone into his small circle of trust was in itself the largest challenge. For me, I've been used to being the Managing Director almost ever since I left University in 1988. (Actually… I was Student's Union President for a year… but that's just being an MD with a massive socialist board of directors.)
Alex Chudnovsky (left) and Dixon Jones (right)
Agreements and partnerships done on a whim don't tend to work too well, in my experience. Also working with friends and family. Alex and I went to quite some length to make sure we didn't do this on a whim. We met in February for the first time – but we did share common goals for Majestic and we spent many, many hours in a coffee shop at Milton Keynes station, pouring over plans and legal documents, trying to get the goals to converge and setting up a strategy to bring Majestic to market. I'm sure that in working together, Alex and I will become the best of friends – but for now it is all business.

Hi Alex… just popping in to say hello… and it appears congratulations on the new partnership. All the very very best.
Enjoyed reading the blog… and seeing YOUR photo… mine will remain hidden – haha!!
Hope all is well. Simon

ACLJ: President Obama Violates Constitution with "Recess" Appointments
(Washington, DC) - The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, said today President Obama has violated the U.S. Constitution by by-passing Congress and moving forward in making a number of appointments.
"This is a brazen, unprecedented power grab by President Obama," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. "While the President is certainly permitted to make appointments when the Senate is in recess, these appointments clearly violate the Constitution because they have been made even though the Senate has not recessed. President Obama knows that. Instead of abiding by the Constitution, he's plunging forward - ignoring the separation of powers - in an arrogant and unconstitutional manner. We're examining all possible legal options concerning this issue."
The ACLJ will launch a national petition campaign tomorrow urging the President to abide by the Constitution - to stop unconstitutional appointments - and to retract those flawed appointments that have just occurred. You can read more about this issue in ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow's blog which is posted here.
Led by Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, is based in Washington, D.C. and is online at www.aclj.org.

Just Standing There
This seems like a pretty general thing but every once in a while, when I'm just standing there, it suddenly hits me - I am so freaking tall.
This realization happened a lot over the past few months because I was doing a play with only three other characters (all played by very short actors). There were a few times in the play when we were all frozen on stage and in those moments, I just felt tall. It was a constant reminder that there is just so much more of me, more skin, more bones. I just take up more space than other people. I hit my head a lot. I use more resources.
In those moments, it's hard not to try to shrink. I have to force myself to stand up tall. Sure I take up more space, but I also take up space that isn't being used (unless hats come back in fashion). I'm like the cabinet over the refrigerator (not to mention the fact that I'm usually the only one who can actually use that cabinet). So when I'm just standing there, I like to think of myself as someone with their own built-in step stool. I'm able to use all the space provided. I don't use more resources, I make use of all my resources like the Native Americans.
So I guess what I'm saying is tall people are like Native Americans with step stool attachments. Coming soon to an IKEA near you…

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
The Facts on Leptin: FAQ
Q. What about leptin supplements, such as those sold on the Internet? continued...
"Insulin resistance generates leptin resistance. The practical advice is: Get your insulin down," Lustig says. "How do you get insulin down? The best way is don't let it go up. Sugar makes insulin go up. We are overdosed on sugar in this country. I think that if we got the sugar down, our insulin resistance would improve and that would help with the weight loss."
Reducing high triglyceride levels helps, too, Lustig says. Too much triglyceride interferes with leptin's journey from the blood to the brain via a leptin transporter that allows the hormone into the brain.
"When you're insulin-resistant, you have high triglyceride [levels]. That's one of the hallmarks," Lustig says. "Triglyceride seems to block leptin transport into the brain. In order to make your leptin work, you have to let the signaling occur. The only way to let the signaling occur is to get your triglyceride down."
Q. Does leptin affect other parts of the body?
Leptin appears to have many functions that scientists are still exploring. "It didn't work as a weight loss agent, but there's now starting to be some other things that are really interesting about it," Atkinson says.
The hormone plays a role in heart and bone health, Lustig says. "We know that leptin is very important in keeping the immune system happy and that chronic inflammation occurs in the face of inadequate leptin signaling, and that's part of cardiovascular disease."
"We also know that leptin has direct effects on bone to increase bone health and bone mineral density, so when your leptin's working right, your bones are healthier and they accrue more calcium," he says.
Scientists are also finding some associations between leptin and certain cancers, Atkinson says. For example, some recent research suggests that leptin can promote the growth of melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
According to Atkinson, leptin may even affect women's fertility. "If the brain doesn't sense leptin, you won't be fertile. If you think back to our caveman days, when there were lots of famines, if you didn't have enough fat to survive a pregnancy, then you're better off not getting pregnant in the first place. Some people have thought that the leptin feeds back on the hypothalamus to keep the reproductive hormones working well, too."

Hawken open beta impressions and criticisms
If you're expecting some holiday downtime, there sure are a lot of free games to try out right now. The latest to enter open beta is Hawken, a free-to-play mech shooter (think action, not MechWarrior) from Adhesive Games. Its publisher, Meteor Entertainment, thinks it'll be the next League of Legends, which is a crazy high bar to target. It only just released, so Hawken still has some time to show us just how high it can jump, but I've voiced my early opinions on its mechs, guns, and modes in the video above.
You can download and play Hawken now at playhawken.com.

I don't think your a fake person. I like that you are trying to be vocal about your faith. I think that you are pretty amazing person for not letting thier hate have an effect on you. And I LOVE that your answer is "I will pray for you". I am actually going to join you in that prayer. Stay awesome! :)
You are so sweet!

How old is a Juvenile Lifer?
How old is a Juvenile Lifer?
The U.S. Supreme Court, in the case Miller v. Alabama, ruled that sentencing a juvenile to a mandatory sentence of life without parole is unconstitutional, violating the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The high court ruled that judges issuing sentences must consider the offender's level of maturity and emotional development. Mandatory life without parole sentences are no longer legal, however the sentence can be imposed at the discretion of the judge.
Pennsylvania has the largest population of juveniles 17 years old and under sentenced to life without parole in the United States-480. Philadelphia County has 150 juveniles sentenced to life without parole who are 17 or under. When Ed Rendell was the mayor of Philadelphia, he legislated that cases involving the death sentence or life without parole be tried by public defenders, not court appointed attorneys. Prior to that, judges appointed attorneys, often with little or no litigation experience. Even now, there aren't enough resources to use public defenders exclusively.
© Mary DeWitt www.marydewitt.net www.lifersontile.com
At what age is someone classified a juvenile?
The U.S.Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to mandatory life without parole.
The Pennsylvania Constitution states that a juvenile is a child up to the age of 21 years old.
In addition to featuring juvenile lifers 17 and under, this site will show 18-21 year olds, a small representation of many who deserve to have their life without parole sentences vacated. Roxanne Severcool was sentenced at 17 years old, but What about Cyd Berger, Marilyn Dobrolenski and Avis Lee and many who deserve the same opportunity?

"You are what you eat" is a very well known and slightly overused phrase. The problem with overused phrases is that we say them so much that they tend to lose their meaning. When you really take a look at the information, you start to realize what a huge impact nutrition has on brain function. Our brain needs fuel, but it needs the right kinds of fuel to function well. It is estimated that 20% of our caloric intake is used by our brain.
The brain uses carbohydrates for supplying glucose. Low glucose levels affect the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for our executive control function. When levels fall, our thinking becomes confused and foggy. In other words, you need food for thought. So when you don't take time to eat breakfast or you skip lunch, you are starving your brain and inhibiting your cognitive performance. Complex carbohydrates are the best because they break down slowly and keep glucose levels steady over a longer period of time. Glucose also influences the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine that is necessary for learning and memory.
Neurotransmitters are like chemical messengers in the brain that pass signals between neurons through neural pathways. Most neurotransmitters are made from amino acids that come from the protein we eat. In addition to learning and memory, they also affect focus, sleep and our moods. If production of certain neurotransmitters is reduced, imbalances in the brain can occur. For example, reduced dopamine levels can cause depression and low norepinephrine levels can negatively impact your metabolic rate, as well as the transfer of short term memory to long term memory.
The brain is composed mostly of fat, nearly 60%. For instance, myelin, the insulation surrounding the branches of neurons, is made up of fat. Eating essential fatty acids (EFAs), especially omega-3s, helps the brain maintain a healthy lipid balance and promotes flexibility in brain cells making it easier for information to pass between them. Omega-3s are found in cold water fish like salmon and sardines, as well as walnuts, almonds, avocados, soy beans and flax seeds. It is important to know that the body cannot manufacture EFAs, we can only get them by ingesting them. Our brain and the rest of our body must have these fats in order to regenerate and produce new cells.
As the brain ages, neurons (nerve cells in the brain) become susceptible to oxidative stress. Eating foods that are high in anti-oxidants can help protect these cells. Many fruits, vegetables and nuts are high in antioxidants. The USDA created a rating scale of Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, or ORAC units. Berries, black plums, cooked artichokes, walnuts, black beans, kidney beans, unsweetened cocoa powder and ground cloves are some of the foods with the highest ORAC values.
Neuroscientist Jim Joseph headed a series of studies on antioxidants at the USDA Human Research Center on Aging. He discovered that adult to middle-aged rats that were given food with extracts of strawberry and spinach did not experience age-related cognitive decline like the rats in the study that received standard food. Later studies used mice that carried a genetic mutation leading to increased amounts of the Amyloid plaques in their brain that are linked to Alzheimer's Disease. Some rodents were fed extracts of blueberries in their food for eight months, while the others were fed regular food. They were all tested after 12 months and the rats that were fed blueberries out-performed their counter parts. The amount of plaques did not differ between the two groups, but the blueberry-fed did not display any plaques-related decline. They also performed at the same level as a control group who did not have the genetic mutation.
This is by no means a comprehensive discussion of nutrition and the brain. Certain vitamins and minerals play an important role in brain health as well. The effectiveness of supplements is a much debated topic and the list of foods that are not beneficial to the brain is significant. Hopefully, though you have gained a better understanding of just how much what we eat impacts our brain, and the next time you hear "you are what you eat" you will have a new appreciation for the phrase.

Laurent Ferrier Updates Tourbillon Double Spiral, Releases Limited Edition In Stainless Steel (Live Pics, Pricing, Details)
The Galet Classic from Laurent Ferrier is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful watches in the world. You know the one - it's the one with a double spiral tourbillon that was named Best Men's Watch at the 2010 GPHG. The Tourbillon Double Spiral, or Galet Classic, was LF's first watch, and it's the one that inspired the incredible Galet micro-rotor, and at this year's Basel World, Laurent Ferrier introduced a re-worked tourbillon caliber. To celebrate, they showed us an 18 piece limited edition, in stainless steel. Yes, that's a Laurent Ferrier tourbillon in steel, people.

Brad Keselowski: Confiscated parts approved by NASCAR
Charlotte, NC, United States (4E Sports) – Contrary to earlier claims by NASCAR, reigning Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski maintained that the parts confiscated from his car and of his Penske Racing teammate Joey Logano last week at Texas Motor Speedway were approved.
Keselowski's claim will be tackled when the National Stock Car Racing Commission hears Penske Racing's appeal to the fines, suspensions and point deductions issued Tuesday.
"Obviously, we're in an agree-to-disagree stage between Penske Racing and NASCAR," Keselowski said Friday. "And, thankfully, there's a third group to settle those disagreements."
Keselowski and Logano were docked 25 points each while their crew chiefs, car chiefs and lead engineers as well as Keselowski team manager Travis Geisler were suspended for six point races and the All-Star race.
Suspensions will not begin until after the initial decision will be upheld during the appeal.
Keselowski claimed that Penske Racing's case was similar to what happened to Hendrick Motorsports last year when it appealed penalties against Jimmie Johnson's team for an illegal C-post.
Johnson won the appeal after most of the penalties were reversed on the second and final level of hearing.
"Yeah, there's definitely some similarities," Keselowski said. "I'm not going to say it's an identical situation, but there definitely are some similarities."
NASCAR maintained its ruling that no changes could be made to the rear-end housings late last season. The ruling was re-emphasized repeatedly during the offseason.
"I feel like it's pretty clear NASCAR's stance on those type of components," four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon said. "I feel like over the last couple of years they have really stepped it up on getting parts approved.
"They see something that somebody is doing, and if they don't feel like it is blatantly intentional against the rules, then there is usually a time frame where people start pushing the limited too far and then they make a rule," Gordon added.
Last year, Keselowski criticized NASCAR for allowing Hendrick Motorsports to adjust its rear end housing which allegedly resulted to unfair advantage.
After Keselowski's statement, NASCAR defined how far teams could push the rear end housing.

PHILADELPHIA—I feed Onyekwe, a senior from London, a textbook chest pass into the lane. An assist! I'm going to have an assist at The Palestra. But no! Onyekwe, a 52-percent shooter and the reigning Ivy League Player of the Year, back-rims a left-handed jumper.
It is my only disappointment.
Indeed, moments before tipoff, the joint is rocking. Every seat is occupied, with the crowd divided evenly among Penn and Saint Joe's partisans. Penn's pep band breaks into "Pinball Wizard."
Trust me. If Tommy were at The Palestra, that "deaf, dumb and blind kid" would experience sensory overload.
My neighbor along press row is Bob Lyons, a former sports publicist at La Salle. Witness to more than 400 games here, he published a book last year on Big Five basketball, "Palestra Pandemonium." Throughout the game, he regales me with stories.
Freshmen were ineligible when La Salle played at Niagara in 1966, and at halftime a tiny guard from the freshman team wowed the home crowd with world-class baton twirling. The following season at The Palestra, the baton twirler torched La Salle and its best defender, future Virginia Squire Fatty Taylor, for 52 points. The baton twirler was future Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy.
For more than 30 years, fans littered The Palestra court with streamers upon a game's first basket. Finally, in the early '90s, officials had had enough. Streamers were banned. Technical fouls were to be assessed. But Penn coach Fran Dunphy and Saint Joe's coach John Griffin decided the tradition needed a proper sendoff. So they encouraged their fans to bring streamers, and when referees assessed technical fouls to both teams, the coaches instructed their foul shooters to step over the line.
During the 1968-69 season, Frank McGuire brought South Carolina here for the Quaker City tournament, handing La Salle its only defeat that season. When McGuire's players complained about the spartan locker rooms, he told them, "If they were good enough for Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Bradley, they're good enough for you."
Penn recruited Dave Wohl as a football player. But strolling the campus he happened upon The Palestra, walked in and was smitten. He tried out for the basketball team and never returned to football. Wohl twice earned first-team All-Ivy honors, and in 1971, he, Corky Calhoun and Craig Littlepage (now athletic director at Virginia) led the Quakers to a 28-1 season that ended with an East Regional final loss to Big Five rival Villanova.
When Kentucky advanced to the 1992 East Regional at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, coach Rick Pitino first brought the Wildcats to the Palestra. He wanted them to feel the history.
Early in the second half, with Penn unable solve Saint Joe's man-to-man defense, Lyons points across the court. "There's Ed Rendell," he says.
Sure enough, four rows up sits Rendell, sworn in as governor four days earlier. Rendell, a Penn grad and former Philadelphia mayor, is also a Palestra devotee.
As if on cue, referee Joe DeMayo calls Penn's Andrew Toole for stepping out of bounds under the basket. Rendell bolts from his seat and screams at DeMayo.
It's that kind of night for the Quakers, Ivy League leaders and a probable tough out come the NCAA tournament. They shoot poorly and have no answer for the Hawks' talented perimeter of Jameer Nelson, Pat Carroll and Delonte West. Saint Joe's wins 66-48.
At the final horn I find Keiter, the former broadcaster. He's 83, long since retired to Hawaii. But he flew East to be inducted into the Big Five Hall of Fame.
Keiter cameoed in several episodes of "Hawaii Five-O," and he used to close sportscasts in Honolulu with Big Five scores, undoubtedly baffling the hang-ten crowd. But he is most remembered for Feb. 20, 1965.
Telecasting a Villanova-Saint Joe's game, Keiter became an unwitting player in a bomb scare that prompted authorities to evacuate The Palestra.
"I was right up there in the catbird's seat," he says, pointing across the court. "The cops kept pointing. 'You, too. Out.' The manager of our station called and told my statistician, 'Tell him he's not going anywhere. All across the city people are calling friends and neighbors to tell them to turn on Channel 6 because a bomb is about to go off. These are the best ratings we'll ever have.'
"So I stayed on. Two cops started climbing up the ladder and said, 'If you're not down in 10 seconds, we'll come up there and carry you out.' But the opening was very narrow, and we just pushed all our equipment over and blocked the opening. Even now, living in Hawaii, people come up to me and say, 'Tell me about the bomb scare.' "

Dr. Seuss
Theodor Geisel's pen name--Dr. Seuss--isn't exactly a vaulted secret. However, despite everyone knowing this to be one of the most famous author pseudonyms around, few know exactly how he came up with the name.
Post throwing a rather debaucherous party, Geisel was fired from his job as editor-in-chief of the college's humor magazine. However, he continued to write by signing off with his middle name Seuss. Many years later when his first book was published he threw in the 'Dr.' as a dig at his father who had always wanted him to pursue a career in medicine. We're not sure how funny papa Giesel found that but we can certainly see the humour in it.

This pumpkin jam reminds me of my grandmother, Nabiha Aftimos, who lived in a world that had not succumbed to speed obsession, cell phone dependency or internet. Whatever she made in the kitchen took time, and it was fine and natural by her. She used to make these types of sweets with bitter orange peels or kumquats rather than pumpkin.
I plucked the recipe from Chef Marlene Mattar's , one of my favorite Lebanese chefs for her serious and rigorous work. She says that this was served to visitors in the olden days with coffee. Most Lebanese homes now have a bowl filled with chocolate candies instead.
The technique used here is still practiced (mainly in rural areas) throughout Lebanon; it consists in dunking the cubes of pumpkin (or apples) in a water and quicklime solution overnight. The pumpkin cubes are then rinsed and cleaned off; this is to keep the cubes solid while cooking them in syrup.
One option is to add diced bits of these pumpkin cubes to a basic pumpkin bread, just for fun and a little pumpkin chewy taste.
I halved the recipe and reduced the sugar.
- INGREDIENTS: 35 pieces
- To soak the pumpkin cubes: 1 cup pickling lime and 6 cups water
- 1 lb pumpkin cubes, about 2″ in width (peeled)
- 4 cups water
- 3 cups sugar
- 1/4 tsp citric acid (sold in all Middle-Eastern stores in the spice section)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 sliver of lemon peel about 3″ long
- 3 pebbles of mastic, ground up till powdery with a teaspoon of sugar (optional)
- 2 Tablespoons of orange blossom water OR a couple sprigs of fragrant geranium leaves
1. In a large bowl, pour the pickling lime and water and stir to dissolve; let it sit for 15 minutes, then add the pumpkin cubes; stir again, and set it aside for 12 hours, stirring one more time. After that time, scoop up the pumpkin pieces and rinse them thoroughly.
2. Make the syrup: In a large pot over medium-high heat, pour the water, sugar and citric acid and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the pumpkin cubes, lemon juice and lemon juice and simmer for about one hour over medium heat until the syrup thickens. Add the geranium leaves towards the last minutes of cooking if using, or the orange blossom water or the mastic powder. Either one of these will add more aroma to the jam and it is not necessary to use all three (the recipe calls for all of them, I tried all and found that each cancelled out the other)
3. Transfer the jam into sterilized jars, seal and cool. Serve cold.
NOTE: Mrs. Mattar suggests serving these with almonds or pine nuts, previously soaked in water for 30 minutes if desired. She also suggests using other flavorings such as a teaspoon of anise seeds or a few cloves in the syrup.
NOTE: Pickling lime aka keless in Lebanon is easy to find here in general stores; in the US it is apparently found in Latino markets and called "Cal" or food-grade Calcium Hydroxide ( used for processing corn prior to making masa, for tortillas or tamales). Thank you Jane Elspeth for the info!

Usher 's eldest of two sons, Usher Raymond V , was rushed to an Atlanta hospital Monday afternoon, after nearly drowning in the family pool.
According to an Atlanta police report, the child was swimming when he became stuck in the pool's drain. After attempts to pull the child from the drain by the boy's aunt and a maid proved unsuccessful, two contractors working in the house pulled the boy out and administered CPR, successfully reviving the child, who was transported to the hospital conscious, alert and breathing.
Usher, who was not at home at the time of the incident went to the hospital to be by his son's side, according to the report, which said the boy was being held overnight for observation.
The scare marks the second accident to impact Usher's family. Last year, Kile , the 11-year-old son from a previous relationship of Tameka Raymond -- Usher's ex and the mother of the boy who nearly drowned -- passed away from injuries stemming from a jet ski accident.

Toffee Almond Oatmeal CookiesBy Jennifer McHenry on May 21, 2012I confess that I don't often bake with whole wheat flour. I think that's due more to habit than taste.

Our Girls U8 Academy is designed for players of all levels that aspire to receive advanced coaching from the BEST Soccer professional staff.
At each stage, the player will develop physically with co-ordination, strength and stamina; and psychologically, boosting self-confidence, resulting in a better soccer player. Our aim is to teach the player 'Brain and Feet" as they do in school with "Brain and Hand".
We relate all training activities to the skills that players see and perform in the game. All activities are heavily reliant on a repetitive style of coaching. Our ultimate aim is to: (1) make every player more technically efficient, (2) physically understand their bodies, and (3) psychologically strong. This will create a DOMINANT player that can have TOTAL CONTROL OF THE BALL AND THEIR BODIES.
