PLAYERS: Tim Tebow, Rex Ryan, Greg McElroy, Mark Sanchez, Woody Johnson
TEAMS: New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals
TEAMS: New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals
Tim Tebow hasn't been healthy enough to see the field for a month, yet New York Jets coach Rex Ryan insists Tebow remains the No. 2 quarterback. Meanwhile, Greg McElroy, Gang Green's third-stringer, is the only quarterback not named Mark Sanchez to run New York's offense in a regular season game this year. The healthy and capable McElroy replaced Sanchez in the second half of New York's win over the Arizona Cardinals a couple weeks ago.Thursday, Ryan was dancing around an answer as to why Tebow at No. 2 is the best scenario, especially since Ryan admitted Tebow wouldn't be running the Wildcat anymore. Heck, Tebow won't even be in as the personal punt protector, which has been his biggest role thus far. It has to be one of two things, or both: the heavy hand of owner Woody Johnson's economical interests and Ryan's sentimental connection with Tebow.Ryan is a smart enough football guy to understand that the only benefit to having Tebow as the backup is b...

Graceful Exits1 comments Posted by marcha at 4:47 PM
There will be times that you'll have to do early quit time not only at work but also in after work socials. Reasons may vary, from having to go to another function, an emergency at home, or worse, escaping a situation gone awry.
So, how do you make a graceful exits? The best thing to do is leave. Give an excuse they won't remember it anyway. What's important is that you leave and never put yourself in a compromising situation. Say thank you to everyone for the wonderful night. Be polite, no matter how out of control things have become.

Etiquette on After Work Socials0 comments Posted by marcha at 4:06 PM
After work gimik is fun when our colleagues have already become our friends. We can relax and just be ourselves. But what if we're new to the company, or if the big boss suddenly wants to tag along? The night out then becomes another exercise in professionalism, and in as much as you're allowed to have fun, you also have to be aware of the messages you will be sending to your colleagues, clients, or superiors. Here are some guidelines;
Always show up – it's a first step. Make an effort to get involved in casual conversation. This indicates that you have an interest in your colleagues and have something in common with them.
Stay away from controversial topics these includes politics, religion, personal money matters, and sex related topics. Be friendly and open but try not to cross the line between openness and personal space.
Be careful about giving gifts, giving gifts is not expected, unless there really is an occasion (a birthday perhaps) and you are close to the celebrant. Otherwise, it may be misinterpreted as a bribe.
Be pleasant and friendly Smile say good evening to each person that you meet, no matter what kind of position she holds in your company.
Pay for your own food it's only decent that you pay for what you've consumed.
Keep in mind the nature of the gathering this is the most especially true for spur of the moment types after work gatherings

Make the Most of What You've Got0 comments Posted by marcha at 6:59 PM
Changing your look to be noticed at work need not be an expensive endeavor. We sometimes need a change – a revamp in our looks. You already have what it takes, you just need a little help in maximizing your assets.
Make yourself more visible. Get noticed by your boss, your clients, and by the people in your industry. Become a regular customer at the restaurant where you have your business lunches. Develop your network of contacts by attending industry events. Get your name on the mailing list of organizers so you can be invited to these events. Develop a referral system so you can refer people or have them drop your name at these organizations or events. You can also involve yourself in local charities and community activities so you can meet prospective contacts and at the same time make yourself an asset.
Spice up your wardrobe. Two outfits are all you need to get noticed. One should be in a dark mutual color. A black dress can take you anywhere. Pick a classic tailored that can take you from a luncheon meeting to cocktail party with style, just dress it up or down with accessories.
The other must have in your wardrobe would be in colorful and fun dress for casual lunches and weekend events.
And don't forget to pull your outfit together with the right posture that signals confidence and attitude: stand up straight, roll your shoulders back, stick your chest out a little bit and tuck your hips under.

Keep your Family Safe when using Electricity0 comments Posted by marcha at 6:50 PM
- Do not allow children to play with extension cords, switches, plugs and other electrical wires.
- Always keep an eye on children when an electric appliance is being used.
- To prevent a short circuit, never install extension cords with nails or staples.
- Do not hide extension cords under rugs or furniture.
- Do not overload an extension cord.
- Never put a knife, scissors or any sharp tool near an appliance cord.
- As much as possible, never use any electrical appliance or device near a bathtub or a sink.
- Do not touch anything that runs on electricity when your hands are wet.
- Stay away from water during a thunderstorm since it is a good conductor of electricity.

Wanna know what the truth is in COCONUT FRUIT?0 comments Posted by marcha at 11:03 PM
Coconut is a simple dry nut known as a fibrous drupe. And lots of uses and benefits that you can get from tree to roots. Coconuts have a bad reputation in other part of the world. That's because the meat of this fruit is composed of 90% of saturated fat. That sounds unhealthy right? But the science has a different story. Coconut oil is an excellent skin moisturizer and that it kills germ. The primary saturated fat in coconut meat cream and oil is lauric acid which lowers markers of heart disease rich by improving your ratio of total cholesterol to good HPL cholesterol, reports scientist in Netherland. Like olive oil and butter, coconut oil is ideal for cooking because heat doesn't cause its fats to oxidize a reaction that can create unhealthy free radicals. Most of the saturated fats in coconut are "medium chain" fatty acids these fats are preferentially burn for energy, instead of stored as belly fat. Coconut oil has also antimicrobial properties which may help fight off infections and pathogens, according to recent study from
Fresh coconut water, which is found in young green coconut, contains potassium, sodium and glucose and is very palatable. In fact scientist in

Foods that Sweeten Your Sleep0 comments Posted by marcha at 6:23 PM
Sleeping is the best rest ever but how can you enjoy your sleeping time if you hard to get it especially to those working people like me. I have some simple delicacies that can help you to sweeten your sleep without gaining pounds.
It's time to have a light snack or a quick sip on these simple remedies. Be sure to have these at least 2 hours before your sleeping time. Fancy some tea? There is no specific proof yet to back it but chamomile tea is believed to be relaxing and soothing drink that may put some people to sleep. But if your prefer something else you might want to try dairy products like milk and foods like bananas and peanuts. Which are good source of TRYPTOPHAN. Tryptophan is an amino acid that your body converts to melatonin and serotonin two things that help you induce sleep.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Having seen VGL and talked to Russell when I got his autograph (feel free to be jealous now), it was totally worth it. VGL was just plain awesome, and while it was mostly things I had already seen/heard from WoW (if you played every zone and/or watch even a trailer for the game, you've seen/heard it), there was something amazing about seeing it live. The choir and symphony are usually local, so wherever you see it the majority of the performers are from that town. There are some hokey parts, but overall it was stunning and awe-inspiring. It made me want to go home and play WoW with the volume WAY too loud.
The rest of the show was great as well. I particularly enjoyed the "retro" gaming part. Now, every performance can be slightly different, with different games featured, but it was worth it. Also, if there is a major university in the town, they often have student tickets available through the school that are much cheaper, especially if said university is supplying the choir like the school here did. If you have a chance to see it, go. Also, their website has many tour dates, they may have one near you if you can't get there. Don't miss it!
PS Russell's favorite music in the game is Grizzly Hills if I remember correctly :)

Alright, this movie will make some people cry. Let's face it. The world is not perfect. Tragedies happening everyday; however, not every tragedies crush our hearts. After we suffered pains, we go on. This story took place in Wuhan, 1938. Partially based on a real story.

I can hold it in no longer.
First things first, ship Faberry if you really want. I don't care. But do not try to convince me or anyone else that this is a cannon ship. There are people out there who genuinely think that these two are secretly in love and will one day end up together. I see no sense in this.
1. Quinn is Rachel's bully. She has been for years, and it doesn't matter that she's stopped now, that does not create the foundation for a healthy relationship.
2. Quinn has used physical violence against Rachel. This even more emphasises my 'not a healthy relationship' point. Let's say they get together. What's going to happen when Quinn really loses it with her again? Is she going to slap her? Oh, but that'll be okay won't it, because they're both girls, which makes violence fine.
3. Rachel is with Finn. No matter how much people don't like it, she is clearly very devoted to him, to the point she was willing to reconsider her future plans, not give them up, she never once said that, but reconsider.
4. Quinn and Puck, it's always been there.
5. They have absolutely no chemistry. Just none.
6. Apparently, Rachel saying 'I can't stop thinking about Quinn' means she is in love with her. Her friend had just been in a near fatal car accident that she blamed herself for. Fuck, even if they were still sworn enemies, of course she was going to be thinking about her.
7. 'Gayberry' was a reference to both Kurt and Rachel as one collective person. Rachel is not in the closet.
8. 'Stop making out with Berry' was just Santana being Santana. We saw the entire scene, they were clearly not making out.
9. They have completely different interests and want different things out of life. Rachel wants to run away to New York and live out the big dream, whereas Quinn will be happy to settle down in Lima and do the family things. A reason, may I point out, that most Faberry shippers hate Finchel. You cannot hate on one ship because of one issue and support another that clearly has the same problem.
Also, I would like to mention while I am here, the people that think Rachel has treated Quinn worse than Quinn has treated her. Yes, there was Finn, but Rachel genuinely had feelings for him, she could see him and Quinn were awful for each other and it was blatantly a relationship only there because it was what was expected. Maybe she shouldn't have done it anyway, because Finn was with someone else, but excuse her for not being that fussed about the feelings of a girl who had bullied her for years. Can't say I'd be too worried myself. And also, on several occasions, Rachel has been prepared to put aside their differences and help Quinn out. Except for in the recent developments of season 3, Quinn has never before done this for Rachel.
I myself am a Pezberry shipper, so it has nothing to do with hating a ship because it isn't cannon, or because they are both girls. I can accept Pezberry because at least Santana has apologised. I can ship it, because they have clashing personalities that would lead to adorable protectiveness from Santana and endearing bossiness from Rachel. And I am also not deluded enough to believe my ship is in any way cannon. I know it's just a fandom thing and I deal with it.
My problems with this: You're saying that bullies cannot have a healthy relationship with the people they have bullied,...

Syd gets this look of dawning enlightenment across her face as the Excessive Electronica of Ominous Ominousity plays. Next thing you know, Syd's down in the Subbasement of Dreams and Desires telling Vaughn that they can get Kasineau to come to them. The Rambaldi Solution. Remember that little vial of liquid that took Shovelhead two damn episodes to unsuccessfully steal? Yeah. That one. Kasineau wants it and Syd thinks they should give it to him.
Captain Forehead then pays a visit to Devlin to discuss Syd's potential plan of action. Now, because we ALL know what the damn "solution" is and what it's used for, I'm just going to cut to the chase on this scene and tell y'all that Syd is suggesting that they go to Kasineau and pretend there's another vial and try to sell it to him. Look. Her plan is MUCH more complex than this but, like, it's so convoluted and bizarre and requires, like, NINE PAGES TO EXPLAIN, so, uh, here it is in a nutshell. Warning: this will be boring and completely unfunny, but it'll be concise, okay? Don't bitch at me because the writers apparently have ADD and watch too many early-seventies spy capers.
Deep breath.
Kasineau thinks the vial is still at SD-6. Syd wants to pretend there's another one. Vaughn wants to know how they'll do that. There's a museum in Algeria that Sloane thought had possession of some Rambaldi artifacts. Sloane sent a team to steal them. The mission failed and Sloane had the team executed before they could talk. So, for all intents and purposes, there still exists a supposed cache of Rambaldi artifacts in Algeria.
Another deep breath.
Syd wants to break into the museum and steal a bunch of shit and then start spreading rumors about what exactly was taken and let Kasineau get wind of the booty (yes, somehow, that sounds rather gross, doesn't it?) and think that someone has possession of another vial of Rambaldi goo and of course he'll want it and of course Syd and Vaughn will contact Kasineau about a black market sale.
Whoo. That was a doozy. I'm winded. Looks like it's time for Julio, my wayward houseboy with six-pack abs, to bring Mistress a refreshing cocktail. Julio! Vodka and tonic for the Mistress! And be quick about it, or no Skinemax for you later tonight.
Devlin's not really interested in backing an operation that involves stealing precious items from a museum. Vaughn assures him that they'll sell all the items back to the museum via back channels, whatever that means. The whole point is to get Kasineau to notice the theft and think they have a duplicate ampoule. The kicker? Vaughn wants to go with Sydney. Devlin's all, I don't think so Desk Boy. Vaughn's all, but I lurrrrrve her. Oh, and she'll be working for us, not SD-6, so she'll need backup.

DIY Lacey Christmas Ornaments. These ornaments can be made with either clay or dough. Just get any type of lace (vintage style crochet leaves the best impressions) and roll it into the dough. Cut out the ornament and make a hole for hanging. Bake it then paint it or leave it plain.
Well, now that the turkey has digested and we've gotten Thanksgiving out of the way for another year let's get into Christmas mode.
I absolutely love this decoration. It's perfect if you don't have room for a tree, but still want to display ornaments and it's perfect even if you have a tree. Just get an old screen and hang the ornaments from it in the shape of a tree and hang on the wall, or prop against the wall. If you want to reuse it you can glue the ornaments on or make it into a shadowbox.
Tired of the same old wreaths on the doors? Go to your local craft store and get a wooden letter and glue either real or silk leaves onto it. Nobody else in your neighborhood will have one just like you!
The Costume is Right! How simple is this DIY costume? Wear whatever clothes you want, slap on the price tag name badge, and make a cardboard screen with a number on string. The hardest part? Keeping that "winners" pose all night.
Ever wish you were Barbie? Well now you can be the makeup Barbie head thingy…ma bob. Wear something strapless and cut a piece of cardboard to fit over your shoulders. Cover it with pink fabric and attach makeup to it. Throw on the blonde wig and you're good to go.
Want to be picture perfect for Halloween? Why not go as a famous piece of art? To make the frame cut a piece of thick foam to size and cover with fabric. Attach a backing and leave the bottom open so you can get into to frame.
How cool, and simple, are these black and white era costumes? Just wear all black, white, and grey tones! Make sure your hair is sprayed with the wash out black and wear white/grey/black tights and make up. These remind me of that movie Pleasantville from 1998.
Halloween time is upon us. Time to think about DIY costumes. What about this abduction costume? The child's head and arms are in the pjs, his feet are the alien's feet.
If you have a big family like I do then you know how hard it is to remember every birthday and anniversary. This cute sign will make remembering those dates simple! Use circles for birthdays and hearts for anniversaries and never forget a date again.
Make cute bows out of the back pockets of your daughters jeans. (It's not like they actually use the pockets anyhow…)

This morning, our missions team was given the opportunity to sleep in and many took advantage of that opportunity after a long week of ministry in beautiful El Salvador. It is quiet here in the courtyard of our hotel and it's an incredible time for me to reflect on the work that's been done, the relationships we've built, the places we've seen, and the souls that have been transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In our own country, Christian evangelists are often painted as domestic terrorists forcing their religion down the throats of any passers-by. But in this nation, the people are hungry for the Word of God. They desperately want to own a copy of the Scriptures and it is inspiring to watch them begin flipping through its pages in the villages we visit. My prayer is that the Lord would help me to never be lacking in zeal but maintain my spiritual fervor as I seek to serve Him (Romans 12:11).
Unlike previous trips to El Salvador (according to our veteran team members), yesterday's mission was the farthest we have traveled into the mountainous jungles. In fact, we traveled for three hours in our buses to a neighboring city at the foot of the San Miguel volcano, and then moved our supplies and people into flat bed trucks rigged for standing passengers. Only these vehicles were able to move our large ministry force into the jungle via dry riverbeds, dirt paths, and low-hanging thorny vines. During the rainy season, the village of Candelaria where we arrived is inaccessible and rarely receives visitors from outsiders, but they welcomed us warmly and we began to serve them at Mountain of God Baptist Church (Iglesia Bautista Monte de Jehova). From God's perspective, 277 people received medial evaluations, 96 saw dentists, approximately 100 pairs of glasses were distributed, and somewhere between 15 and 20 people made the decision to follow Jesus Christ and receive His free gift of forgiveness.
If I were honest with myself, I would tell you that I was disappointed initially by the seeming lack of response. But that's not really the view from the Mountain of God, is it? You see, we are called to go and make disciples, we have been commissioned with the ministry of reconciliation, and we are the bearers of Good News. Thankfully, we then have the privilege of seeing the Lord work and speak into hearts: we get to leave the results up to Him. Because the rainy seasons limit people's travel to and from Candelaria, the pastor of the church has a captive audience that is thoroughly being ministered to. Nevertheless, there are many unbelievers yesterday who heard the Gospel again and seeds were planted with which the church can follow up. So let's try to look at the BIG PICTURE: thousands of men, women and children have been able to receive desperate medical attention, hundreds of teeth were pulled to prevent rot (even as we gave out candy by the handfuls), medications were distributed to the tune of tens of thousands, physical sight was restored by glasses, and spiritual sight was restored for approximately 200 people who experienced saving faith in Christ. Not to mention, hundreds of children were ministered to and saw the love Jesus has for them through us.
It is now nearly time to leave our spiritual family here to begin our journey home. Honestly, our team is already looking forward to next year and hope that YOU will consider coming on board in our adventure proclaiming the Gospel and serving Salvadorians. I, for one, WILL be returning with mi esposa (my wife) by my side next time. It will mean so much to be home but this is a wonderful place to share with her and the rest of my family. Please allow me to thank you for your prayers and thoughts on behalf of our team. Continue interceding for local pastors and churches here as well as the people who have yet to respond to the Gospel. Pray for our safe return as the team returns to Minnesota, North Dakota, Texas, Tennessee and Virginia. Most importantly, I echo the words of Jesus to you today that you pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send laborers into the fields because there is much work to do and so few workers. Will you be the next laborer?
P.S. I want to personally thank the translators (including Katie Thompson) and local pastors (Ed, Clemente, Jonathan, Freddy, Pedro, and so many more) we have worked with who help to bridge the communication gap and make the Gospel resonate with native people. We appreciate your service and love for God's Word and the sheep He is searching for. In addition, I'd like to mention our co-laborers on this trip from the US: Becky, Marty, Howard, Dianna, Grace, Madison, and Alex...it was one of my greatest pleasures serving with you this week. To Jonathan White, your leadership, strategic logistics, and advance preparation have made ministry in El Salvador a great experience. Finally, David and Sharon, we love you both and we appreciate your ground-breaking vision for this country. We appreciate you all very much and look forward to seeing you all again soon. Dios les bendigas a todos ustedes.
Lost things can be a real frustration. Just think about the last time you left your car keys in the refrigerator when you were already late for a meeting. But lost people can bring fear and dread to our lives. After an incredible day of ministry at Bello Horizonte just outside Comasagua, we returned to our hotel to regroup, clean up and recharge for tomorrow. But we lost a member of our mission team – two members went for a jog in the city and were separated. One took a wrong turn and ended up miles from home. People left behind were confused and angry. Some cried. Others prayed. And everyone simply wanted to see our whole group together again, safe and sound. As of 9:50 PM, local time, we celebrated in front of our Villa Real hotel and reunited with our lost teammate - Because that which was lost was now found.
God loves to find lost people. Dr. Luke shares three stories that Jesus taught to illustrate this love in chapter 15. He begins with the parable of a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine sheep to find one lost lamb. Next, Jesus tells us of a woman with only 10 silver coins who searches her home to find just one that becomes lost. But his final story is one of the most memorable and beloved in the entire New Testament. It has often been called the parable of two sons, or even the story of the prodigal son, but I prefer the title, "The Parable of the Loving Father." Jesus explains that when one lost soul is found, the celebration in heaven is far greater than any earthly rejoicing over sheep, or coins, or even sons. When even one sinner repents and follows Jesus, the angels throw a party even bigger than a reunion with a long lost, jogging missionary!
Yesterday at Jeshua Ministries in Comasagua, 250 people heard the Gospel of Jesus, 90 people met with dentists, and 160 received medical treatment that may have otherwise been unavailable to them. At Bello Horizonte, 277 people heard the Gospel from various "preachers" including Pastor Jon, Katie Thompson, Bill Austin, and Pastor Ed. Eighty-eight folks received much-needed dental care and 189 were seen and treated during medical consultations. In addition, relationships continued to be built on the soccer field. To God's glory and because He loves finding lost people even more than we do, 66 people have confessed faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord!
I am incredibly thankful to be here in El Salvador preaching the Gospel to hundreds of Salvadorians each day. It is truly awesome to witness a great harvest of souls that God has long been preparing. To say that Bello Horizonte ("Beautiful Horizons") is a truly breathtaking place is an extreme understatement. There are no words to describe the view from these mountains and the picturesque valley that serves as the backdrop to the village where we ministered. But the people here are so spiritually hungry and many are deprived of some of the most basic human needs. As we continue to work this week in various locations, please intercede on behalf of our team and our new Salvadorian brothers and sisters. As you pray this week, please also lift up Madeline, a young girl we met today who needs treatment for a very serious and aggressive fungal infection on her scalp. We are doing what we can to see that she is properly treated but pray specifically that the infection has not reached her bloodstream and that we will be able to secure the appropriate course of treatment for this beautiful young lady.
Quote of the Day: "Praise God – He's back!" (Deanna Austin) — in San Salvador, El Salvador.
As a youth pastor, my favorite times are investing in the lives of teenagers and subsequently having the opportunity to sit at the "Cool Kids Table" at Wendy's. I love when groups of teens are laughing so hard that we're all having trouble breathing and drawing some stares from the folks around us too. Laughter is good medicine and this is especially true when a missions team including folks from every age group have been busy doing Kingdom work throughout the day. It has truly been a great pleasure developing new relationships and celebrating our camaraderie on and off the field.
Our day began before the sun has sense enough to rise, (o'dark thirty AM) and one team did not arrive back in the hotel until after 8 in the evening. But all of us would happily do it again to see the more than 40 Salvadorians confess faith in Jesus Christ – Praise the Lord! Plus, there may be nothing more beautiful or death defying than watching the sunrise over dormant volcanoes from a bus barreling up a mountain on a gravel road. But upon our arrival in the town of Comasuaga, approximately 250 people from the community were able to partake in services ranging from pharmaceuticals, doctors, dentists, eyeglass fittings, clothing distribution, and haircuts. Every participant heard a clear Gospel presentation from various preachers teaching us all a very important lesson about the Gospel – God has called us all to preach (Romans 10)...but He's called a few to pastor too. Even the soccer players in our group can rejoice in knowing that we have "beautiful feet" as we take every opportunity to bring Good News to Salvadorians!
Another, smaller team conducted a soccer clinic at Beautiful Horizons church with more than 60 children equipping every student with jerseys, socks, and more. Bill and Deanna Austin shared a testimony and Gospel presentation planting many seeds for a future harvest. Before the day was over, four team members including Pastor Ed (Salvadorian church planter and missions team coordinator), myself, Gary Graham and Madison (from Tennessee) stayed in Comasuaga to participate in a church service where more local friends decided to follow Jesus Christ and became members of our family of God! During the service, Gary Graham Jr. was asked to share his testimony which powerfully moved in many people's hearts and lives. I was also invited to preach. It has been an interesting transition learning to work with interpreters and is a humbling experience to say the very least. But to God's glory, He speaks to hearts and we can leave all the results up to Him.
Tomorrow, we will return to Beautiful Horizons church for another medical clinic and hopefully to finish up our soccer tournament. We covet your prayers as we prepare to engage the people of El Salvador this week with the Greatest Story ever told – Jesus come, killed, and conqueror over death! Pray that hearts will remain open to the Gospel and the our team remains healthy, rested, and spiritually renewed each day so that we can continue to pour into others. We love you all and look forward to sharing even more in the days to come.
P.S. Quote of the Day: "That guy speaks like extra-fluent Salvadorian!" (Ben White) * By the way, Salvadorians speak Spanish and "extra-fluent" seems a little redundant – haha!
So, have you ever just felt like a tourist? Kinda like the guy in your neighborhood who still wears his Mickey Mouse ears around town 6 months after the family vacation to Disney World?
Okay, so maybe that's a stretch...but El Salvador is a bit like a new planet. Roadside vendors selling papusas and fruit, 31 people squeezed into the bed of a mini-Nissan truck, and heavily-armed police escorts through the city at all times (for which we are incredibly grateful). But all this began to make me think about a passage we studied not long ago with the RBC teenagers from I Peter that called believers "sojourners" - strangers in a foreign land. As one fellow missionary aptly put it after stepping onto Salvadorian soil, "Today, we are the aliens." And yet, isn't that precisely how we should feel as followers of Jesus Christ?
We should look different and sound different as God-followers so that the people around us cannot help but think us strange - like aliens of the human race. The Christian's true citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20) so wherever we find ourselves and in whatever political disarray may abound, we can always be encouraged knowing that Jesus is still on HIS throne! Plus, as ambassadors of heaven we ALL are responsible for preaching the message of reconciliation to a lost and dying world in need of our Savior - whether you are home with your family or thousands of miles away.
Please be in prayer for our team here in El Salvador representing Ramoth Baptist Church and Jesus Christ. Today, a great deal of preparations were made for our various ministries in two different locations tomorrow. One team will be sharing the Gospel and conducting a soccer camp while another team will help organize a medical clinic and ensure that every person given aid will have the opportunity to know the Great Healer Himself. After a long day of flying, adjustment, and relationship-building we are all ready for some much-needed rest but we covet your prayers this week.
Also, please intercede for Cecilia and her two children Marsella and Daniel who are the first Salvadorians we met and shared the Gospel with on the plane ride this morning. Cecilia heard the truth and now we simply ask that the Lord intervenes in her heart and leads her to follow Him like so many El Salvadorians will do this week. But that will happen only when we PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!
And now for a laugh and the Quote of the Day: "Just how many rubber chickens do we need anyway?" - Thomas France (A.K.A. "Roommate")
Greetings from El Salvador! We held our last clinic today in the city of Apopa with Tabernacle Baptist Church as a sponsoring church. It was an amazing day filled with God's presence. To God's glory 42 people confessed Jesus Christ as Lord which brings the total number of those receiving Christ to 271 for the week. Jesus saves to the uttermost and this team has shouted it from the housetops and proclaimed it from the mountaintops. Hallelujah!
The place that we served today was an incredible place. The poverty is beyond belief and the spiritual hunger is apparent. The first order of business was for a Gang Intervention Police team to make a sweep to be sure any gang members dispersed or agreed to be good boys. It was a safe and blessed day. Total numbers seen in the clinic approached 400 with 200 plus getting glasses, 90 seeing the dentists and 60 receiving haircuts. All heard the Gospel and many were saved.
Let me share a personal story. Before we left Apopa today a young woman cam up to me and asked if she could have a dollar for milk for her baby. Her request was so small but I had no money in my pocket so I asked Bill Austin for a couple of bucks which he gladly supplied. Think about this…15 years old with a 14 month old baby…no father for the baby….she was raped. My heart is broken. Yet, in the midst of the most severe poverty she has the hope that is in Jesus Christ! Her story can be multiplied many times in the lives of so many we have met and seen.
You should come with me on the next mission trip to this El Salvador! Your life will never be the same. No one on this team could have imagined all that God would do! We serve an awesome God!
See you soon! Home on Saturday! Yay! I am looking forward to being in my pulpit.
Pastor Brent Vickery
Greetings from your mission team in El Salvador! It has been a wonderful day and I look forward to sharing with you about all that God has done today. First and foremost I hope and pray that you can rejoice with me that 229 people have confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior so far this week.! Hallelujah! God has truly been at work in the hearts of people and I can't wait to share more when I return.
Today we had clinics in the city of Las Planes with Pastor Jonathan and his church family. It was the smallest attendance of the week but God used it miraculously and we saw at least 16 people receive Jesus as Lord of their lives. The clinic was supposed to be held in a school but that arrangement was cancelled somehow so we moved to the church which is in a remote, high altitude area near San Salvador. In addition to those saved, about 191 people saw the doctors. 150 received pharmacy products. 89 saw the dentists.100 plus received eyeglasses and more than 50 haircuts were given. In addition, as a part of the 16 saved today, I was able to share the Gospel at a police station where five more officers trusted Christ!
Heres a brief word about the each team member from Ramoth…
Pastor Brent…preaching…helping where I can…..one on one witnessing with translator.
Terry Vickery….haircuts, eyeglasses, loving on children.
Corbin Vickery…..blood pressures in clinic, eyeglasses, pharmacy….testimonies
Bill Austin…Eyeglasses, witnessing, sharing Gospel in groups…testimonies
Deana Austin…Sonbeam the clown, witnessing….anywhere needed.
Connie Knowles…working with dentists, one on one witnessing, sharing.
Janice Peoples…BuBu the clown's helper…anywhere needed….sharing Christ.
Seth Thompson..sharing the Gospel in Groups, eyeglasses, soccer, and anywhere needed.
Katie Thompson….sharing the Gospel in groups….haircuts….eyeglasses…dentists…
Gary Graham Jr…testimonies, sharing the Gospel one on one, haircuts
Matthew Drinkwater….soccer, sharing Gospel one on one…testimonies…..pharmacy
Benjamin White….pharmacy, eyeglasses….any labor needed.
Jonathan White…logistics, witnessing, security
There is so much more and if I left something out I apologize but I can tell you that these folks are dynamite. There is no way to describe how God is opening doors through this team and we are learning that unlimited opportunities exist for future ministry. My prayer is that every life is changed for the glory of God and that every team member will return over and over to share Christ with the people of El Salvador.
Pray….we are in Apopa on Friday. It is our last day of clinics. Pray that many will be saved. May our Lord bless you richly.
Till the whole world hears…
Pastor Brent
Greetings from beautiful, wet, hot, El Salvador! It is with great joy that I write a brief summary of our day in Mariona with Pastor Carlos and his church. We had our clinics in the church and 300-400 people came to participate. To God's glory 17 of them received Jesus as Lord and Savior and many more were touched by the Word of God. Final numbers look something like 325 for doctors, 300 for pharmacy, 151 for eyeglasses, 30 haircuts and 17 for salvation. God blessed us all richly and we will have many stories to tell.
Personally, I have been very busy. I preach during the day at the clinics but Pastor Clemente has been taking me to preach during the day to police officers and at night to different churches. This has been an awesome trip in that out team has been able to more than ever before. A special thanks to Bill Austin, and Seth and Katie Thompson as they have stepped up to share the Gospel to groups that come to the clinic when I am away preaching or need to take a breather.
On another note, it was awesome to go with Gary Graham Jr and Corbin Vickery to a Baptist church in Apopa last night. Both young men shared their testimony before I preached and it was my joy to listen as the Holy Spirit touched many through their words. Where do I begin when I speak of this team? Really, I don't know! Every person has touched lives and have shared the Gospel of Jesus, Christ! To God be the glory!
-that many souls will be saved in Las Planes tomorrow at Pastor Jonathan's Church.
-that the team has physical strength to finish the journey well. We are exhausted but trusting in our Lord.
-that our enemy will gain no foothold to hinder the work of God.
-that believers will be strengthened.
Until the Whole World Hears!
Pastor Brent
Greetings in the strong and mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! It is with great joy that I write these words to you! Today, to God's glory alone, we saw 115 national law enforcement personnel come to saving faith in Christ! Can you imagine that? Hallelujah! This team gives God all of the glory and we recognize that we are witnesses to an outpouring of the Holy Spirit! Praise His name!
Let me give you some information about the clinic today. We set up in the national police headquarters and training compound hoping that law enforcement personnel would come to be blessed by the doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and eye care folks. When the day was over almost 400 personnel responded with more than a fourth of them responding to Christ! Hundreds saw the doctors. A hundred saw the dentists. 200 people received glasses and so much more. Also, as a part of my day I was invited to preach to a group of officers at another headquarters. What a joy it was to meet with and fellowship with such strong believers.
By the way….everyone on the team either works in medical, dental, optometry, clothing, or evangelism. Everyone has a job. Many exchange jobs each day so that they can experience everything the clinics offer. Also, the days are long and the weather is scorching but God is good!
For tonight's spotlight on someone I want to talk about Seth Thompson. Since he has been here, that quiet, solid man of God has served the Lord in the clinics, futbol, and any other areas he could find. At every turn he has been faithful to be a godly example as he has shared Christ with all who will listen. Tonight, I smile as I write, as he preached the Word of God yesterday at the clinic in Soyapango and 4 people responded in faith to our Savior. My eyes swelled with tears as I rejoiced with him as he shared the Word of God. We are blessed to have Seth and his dear wife, Katie, at Ramoth.
Finally, pray for the team as we continue to minister to the people of El Salvador. Here is a brief list:
1. Pray for people of Mariona and Pastor Carlos Hernandez as we have a clinic there tomorrow, the 10th.
2. Pray for the almost 200 who have trusted Christ!
3. Pray for safety and health for the team. A few folks have been pretty sick. Please don't worry as everyone seems to be recovering but definitely in need of your prayers.
4. Pray for boldness for the team.
I love you all and can't wait to share the Word of God with you on Sunday! Until the whole world hears,
Pastor Brent Matthew 28:18-20
What a day! Wow! You would have had to be here to believe it. Our team went into a neighborhood controlled by one of the notorious gangs of El Salvador, MS 18, and saw more than 45 people confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. Honestly, we will probably find out that as many as twice that number trusted Jesus when such things are revealed in eternity.
The clinic was set up in a church in Soyapango and shortly after 9a.m. the people began to show up in great numbers. When the day was done there were 400 people who saw the doctors after going through registration. In addition, 192 people received eyeglasses and 78 folks saw the dentists. O yes, 348 prescriptions were filled. It was an unbelievable day as our Lord showed up in a miraculous way.
Preaching the Word of God was a great joy and the Lord added to his church many who were saved. I am reminded that "whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" and that certainly applied to the clinic in Soyapango. At this point I want to simply describe how we do a clinic. First, the people register and file into a large room or worship center. When 25-30 people have sat down, we begin to preach the Gospel to them after which we give an invitation. After meeting those who receive Jesus, we do it all over again. Today, the Gospel was preached to over 400 people with many receiving Christ. Preaching was finished and that group is them dismissed to the clinic.
For my people spotlight tonight, I want to talk about Sonbeam the Clown(Deanna Austin.) She was a blessing to so many today under difficult circumstances as the temperature soared. Believe it or not, she led someone to Christ and still managed to avoid passing out under all of that makeup and clothing she calls a costume. One more thing…she has a great new helper form Ramoth whose name is BooBoo(Janice Peoples). Never, have a seen a clown and helper so dedicated to sharing the truth of God's Word. This is one proud pastor.
Please pray about several things with me:
-Pray as we go to National Police Headquarters to put on a clinic tomorrow. We expect hundreds of officers and their families to participate with many trusting Christ as Savior.
-Pray for boldness to share the Gospel and for physical strength for the team.
-Pray that each person on the team will be drawn closer to Jesus through their obedience to the Great Commission.
Until the Whole World Hears….
Greetings from El Salvador which is translated "The Savior." What a beautiful Sunday it has been as your mission team has been faithfully sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with hundreds of people in Belo Horizonte. Today was our 2nd day in that village and we saw amazing things happen for the glory of God alone.
The team saw 300 plus people at the medical clinic, fitted 100 pair of glasses, pulled 30 more teeth and filled countless prescriptions. Clothes were shared with hundreds of people and a soccer tournament drew huge amounts of interest. Honestly, throughout the entire day, the only negative thing was the weather. You can't imagine how hot it was. O yes…we had a 5.9 earthquake tonight. It's just another day in paradise. God is good.
As a pastor it has been such a joy to see the folks from our church step up to the plate and share Jesus at every opportunity. Evangelism has been awesome and to date we have had the privilege of leading 36 people to saving faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ! I wish you could have heard the testimonies of the team tonight as they talked of sharing Christ and seeing folks come to faith. By the way, it has been a joy to preach the Word of God and share with folks personally but to see my "sheep" doing it brings joy unspeakable and full of glory!
Tonight, I want to talk a few moments about Gary Graham, Jr. What a fine young man he is. He is making a first class documentary of this trip which you will be able to enjoy but far more importantly he is ministering to people and sharing his faith in Christ. He has spent two days cutting hair and talking about his love for Christ to anyone who will listen in heat approaching 100 degrees under a tin roof. If that isn't enough, he has taught a young man named Jeremy to cut men's hair so that he can make a small living after Gary is gone. My heart is full as I think of that young man's deep faith and the influence that godly parents had upon him.
Finally, we covet your prayers. Tomorrow(Monday), we are going into Soyopango which is an area that is a hotbed of gang activity. Pray for safety and boldness as we conduct a medical clinic with the purpose of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for physical strength for the team and that each person will touch lives for the glory of God.
I am honored to be your pastor. Your loved ones are well and are being obedient to Christ. May God raise up a mighty army from Ramoth Church that will take the Gospel to the ends of the earth to the "least" of people.
Until All Have Heard,
Matthew 28:18-20
Buenos Noches from the beautiful nation of El Salvador. It is with much excitement that I sit down to write this blog entry as the day was filled with God's blessings and provision. Where do I even begin? Well, maybe this is a good place to start. It is 9:44p.m El Salvador time and I am reclining on my bed wishing Terry would get out of the shower. The weather was very hot and steamy and everyone is glad to be back to our hotel so that we can clean up and get some sleep. 5a.m. will come very early tomorrow.
The day started with the usual mission trip excitement…breakfast at our hotel was a bit late due to no fault of the owners. Therefore, we left 45 minutes later than we had hoped to leave for the 2 hour trip to the department of Comasagua and the town of Belo Horizonte. Considering the delayed start we should have known Satan was trying to derail us but it became obvious when the bus broke down and we had to wait 1.5 hours for a replacement. It reminded me that often times Satan means something for evil but God means it for good. The mission team bonded with the translators and many of the group was able to draw closer as friends and as servants of Jesus which prepared us for the day ahead..
Finally we arrived….. 2.5 hours late and set up our mission center in the local school. What had been a challenging day quickly changed into a mission team getting busy doing kingdom work. There were 258 people who saw the doctors at our clinic and 58 pairs of eyeglasses dispensed. O yes, for the first time we had dentists and they did almost 40 extractions which is very exciting. Haha. Don't you think so? Add preparations for tomorrow's soccer tournament and clothing give aways and you can imagine what it must have been like. Busyness is one thing, but this team is busy with a purpose. Because of their efforts we preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to hundreds of people and many came to faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ!
Let me say that I am so proud of our team. Each day I will highlight someone so that you can rejoice at what God is doing in them and through them. Today, I want to tell you about Matthew Drinkwater. What a blessing it is to see that young man serving our Lord and Savior. He is sharing his faith, playing soccer, taking video, and helping anywhere and everywhere he is needed. I sit here with a smile on my face knowing that this trip to El Salvador is being used by God to touch Matthew and call him closer to Himself.
Finally, I would ask you to pray for these things:
Until the Whole World hears! Update each day! Pastor Brent
Benediciones to my Ramoth Church Family! Your mission team sends you a warm hello from the nation of El Salvador. I am pleased to announce that we arrived safely in the country around 2pm Stafford time and that life has been a whirlwind since we landed.
Our arrival at the airport was uneventful apart from the fact that most of our team had never seen the Pacific Ocean before. That was pretty cool until the pilot banked hard left and folks remembered that they were flying. After receiving our visa and clearing customs we stepped out into the El Salvadoran wet season and were reminded that it is brutally hot in Central America.
The Hotel Villa Real San Salvador is a warm and welcoming place even though a bit rustic by American standards. To be honest with you, most Americans could learn a whole lot from El Salvadoran people concerning kindness and hospitality so I think Sara(owner) and her staff are doing it right. Once settled it was time to organize the week's activities and purchase the meds needed for seven medical clinics.
7p.m. was quickly upon us and we headed to El Camino Baptist Church in Soyapango for a wonderful time of worship. The church was celebrating their 13th anniversary from 6pm to 12 midnight and we were blessed to be a part of it. There was a praise band with six members who were police officers and who were fully armed. Wow! That was different but the worship was tremendous. Kelby, from Tennessee, and Bill Austin, from our church, shared testimonies after which I preached. Before we left, the church served us a great Salvadoran meal after which we arrived home around 10:30 as we have to be up at 5a.m. to travel to Belo Horizonte. While there we will be doing medical clinics, eyeglass fittings, evangelism through preaching and a soccer tournament. The joy is that we get to preach to every person. Hallelujah.
What a day. I am exhausted so I think I will turn in. Please pray for us to be bold in sharing the Gospel and that many will turn to Christ! I also ask that you pray for safety as El Salvador is a dangerous place. Ah yes, pray for health for the team because there are a few challenges that have arisen but all is truly well.
More tomorrow night….
Til the whole world hears,
Pastor Brent Vickery
Dear Ramoth Family,
It is Thursday evening in El Salvador and it has been a day that this team will never forget. We traveled through the town of Comasagua to a village named Beautiful Horizons. Honestly, it is probably the most beautiful place I have ever seen and yet it is by far the most impoverished place I have visited on this or any other day in my life. To God's great glory we were able to serve about 400 people through the medical clinic, eyeglass fitting, clothing donation and Gospel preaching ministries where many came to the Lord and all were blessed.
Let me tell you about the Pastor of the church in Beautiful Horizons. His name is Walter and he has been pastor of the church for 4 years. His family lives in San Salvador and he gets to see them only three days per week as His wife works and his children are in school in the capital. Each week he makes the trip over extremely mountainous roads to serve a village of 1200 plus other local areas with total compensation being beans, rice, and corn from his congregation. His story is such that called him out of a full time evangelistic ministry to reach Beautiful Horizons while being apart from his family and receiving no pay. To say the least, his people love him to death. Can you imagine worshipping in a building that is block, metal and mud and living in a community where there is zero inside plumbing in any home? You simply can't imagine unless you have been there.
After we returned for the village I preached the Word of God at a mission church in the capital. God is Gracious and the fellowship we enjoyed is wonderful. Tomorrow we are headed to Sonsonate which is almost due west of the capital. Pray that out Lord will bring many people to Himself. Blessings in Christ!
Till All the World Hears…….
Hello everyone! It is with great joy that I am able to tell you that mission work in El Salvador is going well. Up to this point the team has ministered in San Salvador, Victoria, and San Marcos. Tomorrow we are traveling west from San Salvador to a town called Comasagua. Before I tell you about a few highlights of the day I want to thank you for your support and for praying.
Today, we had the wonderful privilege of preaching the Gospel to approximately 385 people who came to our mission point in San Marcos. Many came to faith in Our Lord and all heard the Good News for which we give God all of the glory. The sick are being doctored. Those with eyesight problems are being examined and equipped with glasses on the spot. Hair is being cut. Clothes are distributed. It is truly amazing to be part of such a well run and focused mission endeavor.
Now, I want to share a story that is both funny and sad at the same time. A man sat down to get a haircut and he told the barber to please kill the fleas when he finds them. Well, that is a bizarre request and when the haircut was over he got up out of the seat praising God that the fleas had been taken away. Don't you feel blessed that your life is a bit different from his? Yet, he could teach us all a lesson in gratitude….
The afternoon was eventful in that myself and other team members went to Baptist Medical Center in San Salvador to try to get help for a little boy who was born with a severe skin disease. In fact, I have never seen anything like it. Anyway, we met the hospital administrator and to God's glory she is going to arrange to help this child. If that is not enough, she is coming to the mission on Friday to see how she can be involved. O yes, she helped a homeless man the mission had brought her for surgery last year. When the small amount the mission was asked to pay was paid it brought the hearts of the mission and this doctor together. Unbelievable things are going to happen through her I believe.
Headed to bed in San Salvador….blessings to all. Pray that the Word of God will touch lives!
Till the Whole World has heard!
Pastor Vickery
Galatians 2:20
Wow, where do I begin? The mission team that I am a part of was in Victoria which is in the state of Cabanas' in northern El Salvador for the last 2 days. To say the town is remote would be an understatement and with that being said it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen with its natural beauty only eclipsed by the beauty of its people.
The work done by the team in 2 days is pretty staggering. 400 people saw the doctors and were given medicine at no cost. 165 people received prescription eyeglasses and many of them left in tears having been given the ability to see much better. Clothing was given to over 200 people and 94 haircuts were taken care of. Last, but certainly most importantly the love of Jesus was share with more than 400 folks with many coming to faith.
Please continue to pray for the team as we will be serving tomorrow in San Marcos with no tents or shelters which will allow the "almost" equatorial sun to take its toll on us Americanos. It is expected that 400 plus people will come and we will share Jesus and minister the Word of God to them.
A quick note about spiritual warfare…the Catholic Church threatened to "shut us down" because we were preaching the Gospel and soon after that a cult put out flyers about healing through witchcraft with the Virgin Mary's picture on it. The enemy is alive and well but our God is infinitely greater. Please pray as many are coming to faith in Christ!
I must say goodbye for now. There was a guy on the team who snored so loud last night that several of us decided to sleep outside. That man cut down an entire section of tropical forest. Honestly, I am tired and ask you to intercede on behalf of this team. It is truly a joy to serve Jesus with you.
Monday, 12:44a.m El Salvador time.....Hello everyone! Sunday was an amazing day as I preached twice in local churches and did some discipleship work with our mission team concerning prayer. My hope is that we will all grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, while on this trip together. The evening was taken up with celebrating a team member's birthday and putting the final touches on preparations for our mission work Monday through Friday.
Monday morning at 6:00a.m will find us heading into a very remote area in the north of the country called Cabanas where we will be in the city of Victoria. Please pray as we begin meeting the needs of hundreds if not thousands of people. Pray specifically that God will open hearts to receive the Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ! Pray that there will be no opposition from the local Catholic priests. After our day today we will spend the night in that Victoria so that we may do a second day's work in that area.
My next update will be late Tuesday night, as I will not be back to the city of San Salvador until late Tuesday. By the way, it is Thanksgiving week and my hope is that each of us will thank God for who He is and for His bountiful blessings to us. You and I are rich beyond measure in so many ways. Give thanks. Until late Tuesday night, I bid you farewell, giving thanks to God for you and your partnership in the Gospel. The fields are ready to harvest...in Virginia, El Salvador and to the ends of the earth.
Pastor Brent Vickery
Galatians 2:20
Hello from El Salvador whose name means "the Savior" in Spanish. It is good to finally be sitting at the computer for a few moments because that means I am drinking some of the best coffee I have ever had. No, seriously, I want to try to give you updates on what is happening so that you can pray for the mission work that is ongoing.
Our trip was wonderful with very few bumps other than the fact that 5 of 21 suitcases that were filled with mission supplies were lost in transit. To God's glory, the airport found them and they just arrived where we are staying. Now, the team can go about putting everything together for this week of outreach and evangelism.
Today has been an experience that all of us will remember for a long time. It was our joy to worship with a mission church in one of the poorest sections of SanSalvador. They rolled out the red carpet for the team, yet it was us who were blessed beyond measure. Worship was wonderful and the fellowship was incredible. Preaching was such a blessing and an evangelist named Ed Nerio did a masterful job translating for me. The pastor of the church, Raul, was in tears after the service and asked if I could come back and preach a crusade for him. Please ask God to bless mission Sinai as they reach out to their world in this city of 2.8 million. When the 4pm hour comes we will be going to another church in San Salvador where the pastor has asked me to preach on the subject of being committed to Christ and His Church. Please pray.
Tonight will be busy. The mission team is getting everything ready for the work this week. There is medicine to treat 2000 people, eyeglasses for 500, clothes for up to a 1000, and at least 2000 tracts and Bibles. O yeah….we will be providing food for hundreds along with 2000 haircuts. The team will be up past midnight preparing and praying for the task at hand. Please pray.
Personally, I will have the privilege of sharing Jesus with 2000 plus people this week and I am so appreciative for this opportunity and consider it a blessing. Each day hundreds of people will come to our mission location and before their physical needs are met, I and Josh White, who is a student at Liberty, will share Jesus with groups of 40 up to 15 times per day. Please pray as we invite the Salvadoran people to trust Christ.
We will be moving around to four different locations. Following is a schedule;
Monday-Tuesday..State of Cabanas'….Victoria City…Pray for Pastor Pablo and his church as they try to reach a town that is 98 percent Roman Catholic. We will spend the night in Victoria City and minister there for a 2nd day. It is very remote…in a mountainous volcanic region.
Wednesday…We will be in the city of San Marcos with pastor Milton Perez and his people.
Thursday…We will be in Comasagua with Living Water Church and Pastor Walter Diaz.
Friday…We will be in Sonsonate with Shechem Baptist Church and pastor Jorge Burgos
Saturday….I am headed back to Virginia….and I can tell you that I am already anticipating preaching the Word to you….the greatest church in the world…this coming Lord's day. I love you all!

Sunday - January 12
Saturday - January 11
Spent all day in the ER with my 4 yr old yesterday. His knee was swollen. They ruled out infection, and since there's no apparent injury we are going to the ortho Mon. Worried it could be something serious... like juvenile arthritis... And b/c he was refusing to walk, I carried him around all day and now my back is sore. Kiddo is almost back to normal. Workouts did not get done. Maybe tomorrow. Raining all day here anyhow.

Commented on ∞chan /don/ brings up a good point
Clearly the person who posted this has not seen the Freddy's threads on /vg/.
It was all dumped on the /vg/ thread, too, where people started to like it for about an hour or two and then a bunch of fat fetish and vore stuff was dumped, causing people to hate it. I think it all originates from Tumblr, since 4chan prefers Chica/Bonnie and Foxy/Mike.
You know, I'm the one who made the original Chicken Titties image.

This was before the character was finalized. He didn't even have a name for her at the time.
We playing this game again, old sport?
Technically, I do believe that's true, grammar included.

General consensus is female. Because, you know. The name.
I'll take "Things That Never Happened" for $200.

Commented on Five Nights at Freddy's
There's a free demo. Try playing it. The scare factor comes from the tense atmosphere. You don't get that from watching Let's Plays.
Look at her feet on the poster in the security office. Those are not a duck's feet.
It's funny because I've written four Bonnie/Chica yuri stories.
Commented on Five Nights at Freddy's
All you guys are here getting spooked and I'm just sitting in /vg/ writing fanfics about Chica and Bonnie being lesbians.
Weird to see art here that I don't recognize from the /vg/ threads.
Commented on Five Nights at Freddy's according to my fanfiction
Well, as it is this is an in-joke with /vg/, but it's about the way I've written Freddy as somebody who watches old Hana Barbera cartoons to observe them and master the art of acting like a buffoon; kind of like how Thrawn examines the art of his enemies to learn about them. Somebody else came up with that interpretation, but I'm pretty sure I was the first person to use it in anything.
Uploaded an image to Five Nights at Freddy's.
I wrote a thing based on this:
Some guy did a narration for it, too, but I don't have a link to it.
I actually wrote the script for Mob Boss Freddy.
Galil has a different stock. Plus I don't know why he would be using an Israeli gun.
Why does that M4 have a forend like a pump-action shotgun?

An autumn tradition in my family, our annual walk on the "Battlefield Road" retraces the footsteps of Paul Revere from Lexington to Concord. Here, in addition to autumn splendor, we enjoy presentations in Revolutionary firearms and, my favorite, colonial cooking.
Fall was a time of bounty in colonial New England. But with no refrigeration, it was also time to prepare for the long, hard winter, preserving food by pickling, salting, and drying. Not only women, but also children were expected to partake in this provisioning process, with evenings by the fire spent stringing vegetables and fruits to be dried. As one who is always game to instill a sense of history in my children, and perhaps kill an hour or two in the process, I decided to give it a try.
Photographs by Justine Hand.
Above: Each October at Hartwell Tavern, a preserved 18th century house and gathering place along the Battlefield Road, historic reenactors demonstrate authentic methods of colonial food preparation and preservation.
Above: Strung using a large needle and kitchen string, fresh and dried mushrooms hang in the sun at Hartwell Tavern in Lincoln, MA.
Above: Back at home, we gathered supplies. Beans and mushrooms are easy to dry and are therefore a good option for beginners.
Above: With their small fingers, children are ideal candidates for stringing vegetables. They also really enjoyed it! Here, Oliver, age 7, strings green beans.
Above: Solvi, age 5, works on mushrooms.
Above: After one strand each, Oliver and Solvi were still raring to go, so they switched vegetables and started again.
Above: There is almost nothing more charming than the sight of your children stringing vegetables. (Photo opps galore.)
Above: After our vegetables were strung, we simply found a sunny, dry spot (our kitchen window) in which to hang them. Then all you do is wait.
Above: A few days later we decided to try drying apples.
Above: After a couple of weeks we had dried food. The results, though not pretty, were still pretty satistfying.
Above: Stored in sterilized antique canning jars, our dried vegetables should keep all winter.
Above: For more authentic colonial food preservation and other handy household tips, the folks at Minute Man National Park recommended the improved "The Servant Directory or House-Keepers Campanion," available from G. Gedney Godwin, Inc.; $7.75. (When reading, it is helpful to note that the letters that look like "f"s are, in fact, "s"s.)
Unlike my recent foray into colonial candle making, which was fun but labor-intensive, drying vegetables in the tradition of our fore-mothers was quite easy.
- Step one is to procure your fresh vegetables from your garden or farm stand. If you are growing your own beans, it is recommended that you leave them on the stem as long as possible. (As I learned from Blind Pig and the Acorn's excellent experiments with colonial foods: dried beans are also called "leather britches.")
- Gently wash your vegetables and thoroughly dry them, since any moisture may introduce mold. It is also recommended that you blanch vegetables such as beans, to really kill the germs that can cause mold and decay.
- Using a large needle, such as an embroidery needle, and some kitchen string or sturdy thread, begin stringing your vegetables or fruit. Be sure to knot the ends so your food stays in place.
- After your strand is complete, select a warm, well ventilated, and moisture free space in which to hang your vegetables. Many colonists selected a place in the kitchen or under the eaves in the attic. (Some websites even recommend the window of your car, parked in a sunny spot.) The idea is that it should be warm enough to dry the vegetables quickly, but not so fast that the outsides become hard and lock moisture in. Obviously, like anything, this involves some trial and error, but lucky us, ours turned out great the first time.
- Drying time depends on the dryness of your spot. In my kitchen window, it only took two weeks. One of the reenactors at Hartwell Tavern said it took her mushrooms four weeks to dry.
- Dried vegetables will look shriveled. Beans should be pretty hard, mushrooms and apples will still be spongy.
- After your vegetables have dried, place them in a sterilized container and store in a dark, dry place.
- Use the concentrated flavor of your dried vegetables in soups or casseroles all winter.
Carrots, onions, broccoli, peas, almost any vegetable can be dried. I found the most comprehensive list of which veggies to use and how to prep them from Colorado State.

Why a girl avoids eye contact?
Does anyone knows why would a girl avoid eye contact during a conversation? It does not happen before neither after but just when there it is a close encounter.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Whenn you look in a girls eyes, it feels like your looking right into us. Like you can see what were thinking and feeling when we don't want you to.
I kind love your feedback a lot about avoiding eye contact. Would you mind if I add you in my contact list?
Nope add away
I agree:) It is INVASIVE It CAN feel cool, however if I'm actually thinking about the guy I feel like he can see thru me I actually feel like he is looking straight at me BECAUSE he knows &he has power of knowledge,its a very intense thing & I do not want him understanding me before I doon the other hand I love eyes if I like a guy his eyes are so captivating its hard not 2 stare If was feeling guilty for thinking ABOUT thinkig about him...I would avoid his stare :)
What Girls Said 8
well, if I'm conversating with a guy and I'm not looking into his eyes its because he just so cute and hot and every time I do look at him its like electric emotion that's great don't get me wrong but it can make me feel nervous in a good way...so I may avoid eye contact..
The only reason I can't look a guy in the eyes is because I get really nervous or uncomfortable. But sometimes it's pretty much cuhs I feel insecure.
she may just like you, but is shy. This happens to me with guys I really like. Is she likes this with just you, or other guys too... If it's just you, she's definitely into you, or is at the least made nervous by you.
normally, when I'm talking to a really cute guy.. I can't look at him. I don't know why. I guess it's because if I do, I'll end up messing up what I'm saying, & I don't know it's awkward when I'm talking and just looking at his eyes, haha I really don't know.
well for me personaly its because I'm really shy and it just makes me uncomfortable as hell
Sometimes I do it subconsciously. It's just part of my mannerisms when I'm joking around or something lol. Otherwise, I only do it when the conversation gets uncomfortable -- like if it's really personal.
well I personally don't like full on eye contact. when someone does that to me I get uncomfortable. But also I get shy, so I feel that I need to look around when I'm talking, because I'll soon become nervous and lose all train of thought.
usually, if I don't keep eye contact with a guy I'm interested in, its because I start getting shy and don't want to say something dumb if because I'm distracted by him. or sometimes, I get a little insecure because I feel like he's just staring at me and its so much easier to judge me that way lol if that makes any sense
