The above image is the set of new girls and their 1st runner ups scaring it up at our towns annual haunted house. Each year the Queens are given a room to do whatever they want as long as they promise to lose the pageant look and scare the living daylights out of the community. I like to think they did a fab job :)

Mountain Safety
Safety comes always first - especially in the alpine environment. That's why we put together a couple tips for our guests.
Behaviour rules in emergency situations
- Stay calm!
- Call for help: cell phone, shout, whistle etc.
- Take care of the injured person, make sure the area is safe!
- Never leave the injured person!
- In case of a storm: avoid exposed and dangerous places (summits, ridges, fixed rope routes etc.) - find shelter!
Emergency Call
☎ 140: Mountain rescue
☎ 112: European emergency call (works with every cell phone & in all networks)
Emergency calls are not possible without network coverage. Find a better location and regularly try to dial 112 (or use the SOS emergency call function on your cell phone).
The Emergency call app of the Tyrol Mountain Rescue helps when sending an emergency call and simultaneously reports your own location! Free download on iTunes store or Google Play Store: "Notfall App Bergrettung Tirol"

The washing of the hands is primarily a symbol of the interior purification necessary before offering the sacrifice of the Spotless Lamb. A good and humble priest, conscious of his unworthiness, must feel at this point a certain trepidation, for he knows that as "another Christ", he must be pure of mind and body and blameless in his actions.
According to St. Thomas Aquinas (De anima iii) the hand is the "organ of organs" in which the power and activity of man is concentrated, used for either good or evil. In recalling that Pilate used that power to deliver the innocent Christ to death, we may pray: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who, though declared innocent by Pontius Pilate, didst hear without opening Thy divine lips, the outcries of the Jews to crucify Thee; grant that I may live innocently, and that the malice of others may not trouble me. Amen."
In union with the priest and the other faithful, we propose to incline our wills to always do good so as to be counted among the innocent of heart who approach the altar.

For my advanced google search I chose an article that describes the causes and effects of glamorization regarding social media. It goes into detail on why we as a society need to stop romanticising these serious issues. Talking about this subject as a whole, it summarizes how it started, and why it needs to come to an abrupt end before the effects take a more serious turn than they already have. By making mental illness something "cool" to have, you take away from the real issues at hand. These "trends" have never been a healthy way of coping for any individual involved. Social media is one of the main reasons these issues have gained such a giant popularity among young individuals. The path to putting them to a stop is opening up the conversation, as well as educating others on the dangers at hand. To quote the author, "No amount of pastel quotes on Instagram or artsy photos of pills on a plate or a gun shooting flowers will alter the fact that mental illness isn't an art form that you can "perfect." It is an experience that can make every day painful."

The President's final State of the Union is this Tuesday, Jan. 12 at 6 p.m. PST. His plan is to address the nation on what his Administration has deemed critical pathways forward: Economic Progress; Acting on Climate; Engagement in the World; Health Care Reform and Social Progress and Equality.
A continual issue that has plagued this Administration is how the nation and the Department of Veterans Affairs is taking care of those who answer the call of this nation.
The quick response was the Joining Forces Initiative, and then the appointment of a new Veterans Affairs Secretary, Bob McDonald, the former CEO of Proctor and Gamble.
While unemployment numbers are cycling down for some veterans, the issue of viable employment continues to be an issue, as does delayed claims, insider cronyism and rising suicide rates.
But, the nation's warfighters will have to take second seat to climate change. This president has deemed that, "No challenge poses a greater threat to our children, our planet and future generations than climate change."
The skills and abilities our veterans have developed could be an instrumental and powerful contribution to helping this president and this country build a new foundation for prosperity or provide innovative ways to protect our planet. Just look at how we emerged from WWII.
However, you first have to understand what assets you have available to help solve the challenges.
If this Administration could be effective in ensuring that those who answer the call of this nation don't have to fight when they get back home for what they rightfully earned, we could solve a lot of challenges in the United States. When a nation invests billions in training young men and women and then distracts that talent with bureaucratic roadblocks instead of leveraging that talent to help solve some of the nation's problems, you have leadership that has failed to recognize one of their greatest assets: those who serve this country.
Bottom line: It is time for tactical solutions and not platitudes. This Tuesday's State of the Union will prove to be more of the same.

Best Songs from Marina and the Diamonds' Froot
The Top Ten Best Songs from Marina and the Diamonds' Froot
Best song on the album hands down
This song is perfect
A Masterpiece. - mood333
This song is awesome! I sing it in the shower every day!
This song made me cry. I watched her perform live, and teared up when she played this song. It's about finding happiness. I've been a fan for years, and I remember when she was depressed, fighting with herself, and now here she is, accepting herself. She went from singing ''It's my problem if I have no friends and feel I wanna die'' to ''Finally, I have found a way to be happy".
BEST SONG EVER - PrehistoricAztec
Ahh this song is amazing! And it's so true
Pure perfection! Marina's amazing vocals combined with thought provoking lyrics! 💖 - kaitlynrad11
Savages should be number one. It's the best on the album. Humans have been monsters these days, we've been committing horrible crimes, and we've had destructive mindsets.
<3 this, and <3 Marina for writing this song, and writing this beautiful, one-of-a-kind album, it's my favourite, other than The Family Jewels
The 80s electronic sound, the contrast of the deep and acute versions of Marina's voice together in make an original, sweet, electronic and addictive song. I literally can't stop listening to it, someone help me.
This song is iconic. I could listen to it forever without getting sick of it. It's a weird and wonderful song that Marina has given us.
I just love singing the line "Livin la loche vida..."
A beautiful, moody song, which is about finding solitude and peace
This Song is awesome! - mood333
Love the track sm
It's such an upbeat song, yet the lyrics are so sad.. I LOVE IT..
This song is my bop! AH LOVE MARINA
This is the best song off he album
It sounds so happy but the lyrics are not so--
i love it in everyway and I find myself listening to it everyday
I mean, I'm so into this song, the way she changes her voice during the song is amazing, I really don't get why this song is so underrated!
A very depressing, dark song, which is about the want to live forever. I find it interesting how the album starts with 'Happy' and ends with 'Immortal'
"But if the Earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours and you were mine"
I've ALWAYS loved these lines the most. But I could never really relate to this song personally until I met my boyfriend, the love of my life. I have never wanted to be immortal. I find that notion depressing. Or at least I did. And then I met him and well, "If I could buy forever at a price, I would buy it twice" because this life is the only time I'll know him and I never want that to end. When we die, I believe in an afterlife and he doesn't. So, I wish I could buy forever twice to always be with him. - theOpinionatedOne
But you can do better than that
I don't get why Solitaire and this one are so underrated?! They are REALLY good. - mood333
God, why is this so underrated? It's so beautiful. Her vocals are heavenly, and the guitar solo just makes the song better. I wish she performed it when I saw her live at NNT
Should be in top 5
Why didn't she perform this during NNT? Honestly, it's one of the most underrated songs on the album.
The Contenders
I looove this song! So underrated
Definitely my favourite from this album!
''Do you really want me to write a feminist anthem? I'm happy cooking dinner in the kitchen for my husband.'', oh how I adore this song
The lyrics are so good :D

text: Each year, more automobiles and drivers are on the highways. This can lead to an increased likelihood of a car accident. If you get in a car accident, the auto insurance you own can make a big difference in how much you have to pay. But why do you need insurance and just how much do you need? Coverage requirements will differ by state/province, but usually include the following: Liability: This type of insurance will pay for the damage that you have caused. These damages can include bodily injury, and property damage. If you are sued, it also pays your legal fees. State laws usually mandate minimum amounts, but higher amounts can be purchased and are very beneficial. Personal Injury Protection: This is required in some states and is optional in others. It pays you or your passengers for medical treatment resulting from a crash, regardless of who may have been at fault, and is often called no-fault coverage. It can also pay for lost wages, replacement of services and funeral expenses. The minimum amount of this insurance is typically set by the state. Medical Payments: This type of coverage is available in states that are not considered no-fault and will pay no matter who is responsible for the accident. All necessary medical or funeral expenses will be covered under this type of policy. Collision: This pays for damage to your car caused by a collision. Comprehensive: This type of insurance protection covers all damages not caused by a collision. This could include fire and wind damage, vandalism, and theft. Uninsured Motorist: If you are in an accident with an uninsured driver or a hit-and-run driver, this type of insurance will make sure you are covered. Under-Insured Motorist: This pays for damages when a driver with insurance is injured in an accident caused by a driver who does not have the right amount of insurance to pay for the full amount of the damages. Other types of coverage, like car rental and emergency road service, are also available. Your auto insurance payments varies based on the company and will depend on multiple factors, including: *Your selected coverage *Your vehicle's make and model * Your driving record * Your age, sex and marital status * Where you live Don't wait around to buy auto insurance; you shouldn't drive a car without it. Review your needs, research your options, and with the support of your insurance agency, make the decision that fits you best. Auto Insurance Clermont

The 1996 birth-year product of Brighton, Michigan is headed to Cortland, N.Y. to play for the SUNY Red Dragons effective the 2017-2018 campaign.
Schebel said he really enjoyed his time in the NOJHL and playing for and winning a championship with Powassan.
"The staff treated me with the upmost respect and gave me the tools I needed to be successful," said Schebel. "My billets did everything they could to make sure that I was well fed and had a good place to call home. It was a special team that will not be soon forgotten."

|Hello! I may find it hard to split my time between here and TrekEarth, but we'll see what happens. I've been experimenting with adding painterly and artistic styles to my photos, so I'm hoping to show some of my work here on this site.
I feel that, often, the FEELING of a place is as important as its photographic reality, so this site should provide means to show the different kinds of reality that can be shown photographically and artistically. Often, photorealism is not effective at showing the "reality" of a place or person at all, and other factors become much more important, so I'm very happy to see this site exist.
You can other photos of mine at my main photo site , TrekEarth , TrekNature , and at Digital Photography Challenge Prints and my DPChallenge Profile page
I look forward to seeing and learning from your work!

L-arginine is an amino acid commonly sold in supplement form and obtained naturally in the diet. L-arginine-rich foods include plant and animal proteins, such as dairy products, meat, poultry, fish and nuts.
In the body L-arginine is converted in nitric oxide (a compound that relaxes the blood vessels). L-arginine is also necessary for the production of protein and helps rid the body of ammonia (a waste product). This amino acid also stimulates the release of insulin.
Dietary supplementation with L-arginine has shown to be beneficial in many studies. The most prominent clinical trial took place in The High Desert Heart Institute, one of the most prestigious heart institutes in the United States. Each patient received extensive diagnostic testing which generated approximately 7,000 points of data.
Health Benefits of L-Arginine Supplements:
Stress, poor diet and high level of LDL cholesterol promote inflammations in your arteries that leads to arterial plaque formation increasing blood pressure and homocysteine levels. Researchers at the University of Penn State and Stanford University
Medical Center found and cardiologists at The High Desert Heart Institute confirmed that oral supplementation of L-Arginine decreases blood pressure and homocysteine levels in patients who are exposed to stress. Supplementation with L-arginine is therefore advisable, as it is helpful in reducing high blood pressure and inflammation in the cell walls of the blood circulation. Many studies also indicate that L-arginine may help with the following conditions:
Several small studies show that increasing intake of foods high in L-arginine may help ease symptoms, increase exercise tolerance, and improve blood vessel function in people with angina. Learn about other natural approaches to angina treatment.
Congestive Heart Failure
L-arginine may improve cardiac performance in people with congestive heart failure, according to a 2000 study published in Clinical Cardiology. However, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) caution that L-arginine should not be used in place of standard treatments prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Erectile Dysfunction
There's some evidence that L-arginine may benefit men with erectile dysfunction. In a 1999 study published in the journal BJU International, for instance, 50 men with erectile dysfunction took either 5 grams of L-arginine per day or a placebo. After six weeks, more men in the L-arginine group showed improvement compared to those taking the placebo.
Like the drug sildenafil citrate (Viagra), L-arginine is thought to enhance the action of nitric oxide and—in turn—relax the muscles surrounding blood vessels supplying the penis. As a result, blood vessels in the penis dilate, increasing blood flow, which may help maintain an erection. The difference in how they work is that Viagra blocks an enzyme called PDE5, which destroys nitric oxide, and L-arginine is used to make nitric oxide. Unlike Viagra, L-arginine is taken on a daily basis for erectile dysfunction. Also read Natural Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction.
Other Common Uses for L-Arginine:
- colds
- dementia
- hair
- high blood pressure
- intermittent claudication
- interstitial cystitis
- male infertility
- migraines
- preeclampsia
Some people also use L-arginine to boost the immune system, improve athletic performance, and shorten recovery time after surgery. Studies show that L-arginine can be effective for managing inflammation of the bladder, relieving leg cramping and weakness caused by blocked arteries (a condition known as intermittent claudication), and improving kidney function in kidney transplant patients taking cyclosporine. What's more, taking L-arginine in combination with ribonucleic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) may reduce recovery time, protect against infection, and promote wound healing after surgery.

Mason Engineering Students Are Mentors in Robotics Competition
January 23, 2014
George Mason University Honors College student Jordan Newton, roped into joining her high school robotics team as a sophomore, was just along for the ride when she headed to her initial FIRST Robotics competition. In fact, her team's 120-pound robot might have been more enthusiastic about attending the event than she was.
"I thought, okay, it's a robotics competition. It's going to be golf-clapping and boring with a bunch of engineers who don't know how to talk to each other," says Newton, who attended Deep Run High in the Richmond, Va., area.
What Newton encountered that day at a FIRST event — flying machinery, clamorous cheering and dancing, flamboyant customized team T-shirts and buttons, the manic flurry of activity in the working area known as "the Pit" — changed her life. Thanks in part to her efforts in helping her team succeed that day, robotics became her passion, the foundation of her social life and even helped shape her decision to come to George Mason to major in computer science.
"I just had a feeling that I mattered and that I contributed something important," says Newton, now a Mason freshman. "It made me feel really good about myself."
That love for robotics and its unlikely pageantry will be on display March 27-29 at the Patriot Center when Mason for the first time hosts the U.S. FIRST Robotics Greater D.C. Regional. More than 1,200 high school students, mostly from the National Capital region, will vie to earn their teams a berth to nationals next month in St. Louis. (FIRST stands for "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.")
Those competitors, from 10 states, also will get a firsthand look at Mason, whose Volgenau School of Engineering ranks sixth nationally in return on investment for engineering majors. Newton and many other Volgenau students will volunteer at the event, which all told will attract thousands of participants, family members, volunteers, corporate sponsors and other guests. Admission is free and open to the public. The competition runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
"Working with the FIRST Robotics program is a win-win for education," Volgenau Dean Ken Ball says. "The hands-on training and problem-solving skills that students develop while participating on FIRST teams is invaluable. We're excited to welcome some of the best and brightest students in our region to our campus and invite them to consider Mason's world-class programs for their future education."
It was at just such a competition that Newton discovered how valuable she could be to her high school robotics team, Team 1086 Blue Cheese. Initially, her contribution had nothing to do with designing, building or programming a robot. The so-called "sport for the mind" is not all about the technologically savvy one-upping each other. It's far more inclusive than that.
Just about any student roaming a high school hallway has a skill that would contribute to a robotics team, whether it be using hardware or software, public speaking, business and marketing, designing and creating artwork for team products, updating the team website, writing press releases or pamphlets, fund raising, performing community service and outreach, or, in more of an athletic role, engaging the robot as a "human player."
"Even if you don't know anything about engineering, we need every skill that you can offer," Newton says.
Awards at competitions are given in a variety of categories, from spirit and imagery to the particularly coveted Chairman's and Engineering Inspiration awards. The teamwork, dedication and communication skills that participants learn are just as important and transferrable as the technical skills.
Robotics teams are dependent on volunteer mentors and corporate sponsors, so participants often are able to work side by side with professionals in the science and tech field. This can lead to help with college — FIRST participants have earned $19 million in scholarships this school year — or even pave the way for future employment.
Those mentors, volunteers and corporate sponsors will be out in full force at the Patriot Center. The event could not take place without them.
"Probably the best thing that I got out of FIRST was the experience working with the mentors," says freshman civil engineering student Abigail Armuth, who attended the same high school as Newton and who wears her Team 1086 Blue Cheese hoodie around campus as a conversation starter. "Some of them were real engineers. So it wasn't necessarily working on the robot but the encouragement and support from the volunteers. The robot is just the tool. Without the mentors, none of it could have been possible."
Parents, most of whom did not grow up with the opportunity to participate in robotics, often have to be exposed to the pursuit before they can understand it. Once they do, they all tend to make the same observation: Gee, I wish we'd had this when I was a kid.
Many current high school students do have that option, and 68,000 nationwide, competing in 54 regional events, are taking advantage of it. Others wish they still could. A year removed from competition, Newton has graduated to mentor.
This week at the Patriot Center, however, her heart will be in the Pit.
"I feel like FIRST has given me a mission to go out and get these kids started in something earlier than I got started," Newton says. "We're trying to make engineering and science and technology cool for everyone. We already think it's cool. We're trying to make the other people think it's cool, too."

I have had to change my money box slightly, to fit in with buying a house… still think it needs to be a little bit bigger haha 😀
On the 1st December 2015 the government launched a new help to buy ISA. This is amazing for first time buyers like me, so what is it?
The help to buy ISA is basically a savings account where the government will top up your savings by 25%. However, there are certain rules that apply, for instance if you have already paid into another cash ISA this tax year you can't open a Help to Buy ISA until 6th April 2016 (which sucks, because this applies to me) this would mean I couldn't make the most of it at all because we are hoping to be moved out around April time. Don't fear there is a way around it, Nationwide let you transfer your current ISA into a Help to Buy. Although, they were most unhelpful when I went into their branch, that I almost didn't want to transfer my ISA to them because of how rude they were, but I don't have any other choice until April!
If you haven't paid into an ISA this tax year, then the possibilities are endless for you. Lots of banks are offering it, at the time of writing this I would recommend going with Halifax, as they have a 4% interest rate whereas most of the others only offer 2%.
To open a Help to Buy ISA you have to pay an initial deposit of £1,000, the minimum amount you need to save is £1,600 in order for the government to give you a 25% bonus, meaning they will give you £400 for FREE! Then every month if you deposit £200 (that is the maximum per month) into your ISA, you will get an extra £50 from the government. Hooray for free money! 🙂
The maximum amount in total you can receive is £3,000, however to get the full bonus you will need to be saving for just over 4 and a half years… that's a long time, there's no way I can wait that long! I will be happy with anything I can get.
The best part is the fact that the bonus is for each individual person and not each household, it means that Karl and I can save separately then put our money together at the end.
Another thing I better point out is the fact that you won't see the bonus in your bank account, you won't get any interest on it and you won't be able to withdraw it. The bonus will go straight to your mortgage lender and you will only get it once you go to buy a home. This must be before 1st December 2030.
This scheme is only available between now and 30th November 2019 for new savers, but if you start saving for instance on 29th November 2019 you are allowed to carry on saving for however long you like. So hurry and don't miss out!
I hope this helped, I am still learning myself as this whole process is very new to me. With the rising cost of house prices these days you want to try and get on the property ladder ASAP as they will just continue to rise. I'm sure this new scheme will help a lot of first time buyers.
Here is a link to a website which you might find helpful: moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/a-guide-to-help-to-buy-isas
Thanks for reading and speak to you soon.

Speakers Bureaus -- Holy Grail or Waste of Time?
For many aspiring or beginning pro speakers, their #1 question is "How do I get booked by speakers bureaus?" Some pro speakers get a tremendous amount of their business from speakers bureaus, while others refuse to work with bureaus — and both of them are correct. So the first question to answer is, do you want to be booked by speakers bureaus?

Mangaluru May 22, 2016: Senior Congress Leader Janardhana Poojary has said that the results of the five state elections have proved that Congress has gained an upper hand over the BJP as far as per centage of votes was concerned.
Addressing the Press at Congress office on Saturday May 21, Poojary said that the results have shattered the BJP hopes of creating a Congress free nation. While congratulating the BJP for forming a government in Assam, Poojary said the percentage of votes clearly showed the Congress dominance in Assam by securing 31% of vote share over BJP's 29.5%.
If the Congress is the second largest party in Kerala with the BJP winning just one seat, Poojary said the BJP failed to secure even a single seat in Tamil Nadu where the Congress is in second position. In West Bengal too, as against the 3 seats secured by the BJP, the Congress has secured 44 seats. in Puduchery BJP once again failed to win even a single seat while the Congress secured 15 seats, he said.
It is a shameful defeat for the BJP in two states where it failed to secure even one seat, Poojary said and questioned Modi by saying "Where is the BJP?."
"Modi is known for misleading people through his false promises. He has no control over the party. Voters of five states have decided to make BJP free nation," said Poojary.
Stating that Sonia Gandhi should continue to head the Congress, Poojary said it would be better for Priyanka Gandhi to take charge of the party campaign in Uttar Pradesh.
Regarding the recent bundh over Yettinahole, Poojary appreciated the positive response of the people towards the voluntary bundh."This is the first instance wherein Dakshina Kannada observed a voluntary bundh," he said adding Siddaramaiah need to withdraw Yettinahole project or else the people of Dakshina Kannada will definitely fight back, warned Poojary.
He criticized Social Welfare Minister Anjaneya for describing private schools as brothels and then making a quick u-turn and said it was a shameful and disgraceful act by the minister.
Poojary also lambasted Health Minister UT Khader for describing BBMP corporator NR Ramesh as "insane." It is better for the minister to hold his tongue before making any statement, Poojary advised.
It may be recalled here that NR Ramesh has alleged that the state government was misusing National Health Mission scheme by submitted fake bills and has also claimed UT Khader's involvement in the racket.
TK Sudhir, Corporator Appi and others were present.

It gets me below one of the zeros - which people use for filtering potential dates ... So it opens up more options :)
And it really is only a couple of years - and I'm pretty sure I can get away with looking a couple of years younger than my actual age !
The trouble is that when you check into a hotel / hostel ... the reception staff normally take your passport details - including your date of birth ...
And when you see that same receptionist on dating apps shortly afterwards ... your economy with the truth is totally busted !!

- Cristiano Ronaldo Jr has opened his goals account in Juve debut
- The eight-year-old netted double brace after sealing his switch from Real Madrid
- His father is yet to score despite making 3 Serie A appearances for Juventus
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo is still waiting to net his first Serie A goal for Juventus but his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr has already opened his goals account on Saturday, September 1, 2018.
The former Los Blancos superstar is yet to score in the Italian topflight after three matches after his massive switch from the La Liga in the summer.
However while the 33-year-old the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is searching for the way to the goal, Junior is scoring for fun.
READ ALSO:Liverpool star Sadio Mane sighted washing toilet after his goal against Leicester
The eight-year-old, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr who was previously on the books at Real Madrid, netted double brace in his first for the Juventus Under-9s.
Reports in Italy claimed last week that Ronaldo had teamed up with the 'Pulcini' and enjoyed support with step-mum Georgina Rodriguez in the stands.
Interestingly, other star players that include Andrea Barzagli's son Mattia and Claudio Marchisio's son David equally defend the colours of Juve youth side but will likely lose the services of David following his dad's exit from the La Liga champions.
On the other hand, it is a different scenario for the older Ronaldo with the A team where the current world's best player is struggling to find his scoring boots, although Juventus have recorded three successive victories out of three for a maximum 9 points.

At the last count Ronaldo has drilled in 23 shots at goal in 360 minutes of football but is yet to hit target.
Ronaldo made eight stunning attempts to score against Parma on Saturday, but only effort was on target.
The Old Lady's held on to claim a precious 2-1 win with the pair of Mario Mandzukic and Blaise Matuidi getting the needed goals.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com previously had reported that Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was "angry" after ex-teammate Luka Modric claimed the UEFA's Player of the Year.
According to an ESPN report, the Bianconeri boss also wants the decision of the former Los Blancos star not to be present at the ceremony in Monaco to be respected.
The Portuguese informed the Serie A club early on Thursday, August 31, that he did not feel like travelling but failed to state his reason for not making the trip.

"And every step of the way His grace is making me
Every breath I breathe, He is saving me
And I believe."
~Andrew Peterson, The Good Confession
This week we were challenged by our pastor to tell our stories of how we came to faith. I wrote some of my story in a blog almost two years ago, and I want to share it again.*
I was born on a church pew.
Not really. But since I was little my parents have been involved in religious ministry – from hosting Bible studies in our home in Panama to pastoring a church for the past 25 years. I'm forever grateful to my parents for the seeds of faith they planted and watered in me.
Things got interesting one Sunday during the altar call. I was surprised to see my sister crying and walking to the front of church to receive Jesus. Not wanting to be outdone and risk appearing more sinful than my twin, I followed her, produced some tears and prayed to accept Jesus Christ into my heart. I was eight years old.
When the pastor baptized me I flailed, and he ended up dunking me twice. He concluded I'd be a good Baptist. My sister concluded I needed all the extra dunking I could get.
There were many, many times after that day I would pray the prayer repeatedly, just in case. "Jesus, I believe in You! I believe You died on the cross and rose again. Please forgive my sins, and come into my heart. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen."
Growing up as a preacher's daughter, my attendance was mandatory at Sunday School and VBS and youth group meetings. But I went gladly. Over the years I'd seen people lost, broken, grieving, angry, empty – and I saw them changed (not necessarily their circumstances, but their lives). I could not explain it. But I had no doubt in the power of God to transform, to give Life and hope.
In college, I came to love the words in my Bible. Those words became my lifeline when I lived in Ethiopia.
Marriage and motherhood have stretched, challenged, wrecked and re-built my faith more than anything ever could.
'Till sin be bitter, Christ is not sweet. I've long understood the doctrine of grace, and I've been encouraged by it as I've seen it demonstrated in the lives of others. But in recent years I experienced the way of grace in my own life like never before. I fell. I fell into a horrible pit, not only hurting myself but others around me. When I saw myself apart from God's grace, I found the ugliest heart and guilt so terrible, I could have died. But then the very nature of Christ reached through friends, through my husband, to love me. Amazing grace, I will never forget.
Some friends/readers have admired my faith, so here's my story. I am utterly unfaithful, and God has been ever faithful to me. I can tell you I'm like the father whose son had no speech, "Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!" I can tell you I'm learning that "without faith, it is impossible to please God", and all I want is to please Him. I can tell you that I love much because I have been forgiven much. I can tell you that I still pray with eight year-old faith: Jesus, I believe in You! Thank you for saving me. Again and again. Amen.

Tips for Learning
Be prepared to stop the video, rewind and practise anything you need to. You may find very early on in a video an exercise you cant do and so you will need to play these and become more familiar with them before moving on.
Depending on your ability and experience, getting to grips with something may take you anywhere between a few minutes and a few days to play. Dont be discouraged learning an instrument can be hard work, and many of the skills needed will take practice.
Try not to get frustrated if you make mistakes. With a combination of dedication and patience you will make progress and gain guitar skills!
As a guide you should try and play everyday for at least 20 minutes. Short and regular practice sessions are more productive than a long session once a week. Remember to practise things youre not good at and you will begin to improve.
General Tips
- Always practise slowly to start. Work on any detail and remember the points highlighted in the video.
- Focus on each hand individually if needed.
- Listen to the commentary, watch the video and use the pdf tabs to follow what happens in the lessons.
- Practice new skills in small sections try not to watch the video all the way through without playing.
- Try and always play with a steady rhythm.
- Dont play easy sections quickly, and then difficult sections slowly. Try and play at an even steady pace, as slow as you need to.
- Many of the exercises allow you to mix and match ideas so you can become creative and develop as your own player.
- Practise along with a metronome or drum machine wherever possible.

One of the ways that I healed from an emotional unhealthy mindset was listening to messages and mini sermons several days throughout the week. Sunday is a great blessing and all, but when it came to feeding my spirit and renewing my mind I needed more.
Being Alone Ain't Good
If man truly believed that God is the same as He was and the same as He will always be yesterday today and forever, then how come when He says in His word "The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Genesis 2:18
Build On The Rock
I've seen so many people try to build their loving relationships without Christ. This is impossible to do. You may stay together but being in love is so much better. I mean being alive isn't enough, you have to be living! A man spends his life in jail, he's alive but living, not. Most of us want more out of life, that's why we do our best not to commit crimes that will land us in prison for life!

6 Biblical Lessons on Relationships
After 35 years in ministry and 30 years of marriage to Serita Jakes, Bishop T.D. Jakes has outlined key life lessons learned from these two great institutions.
The following are 6 sample "Lessons from the Heart" excerpted from "The T.D. Jakes Relationship Bible: Life Lessons on Relationships from the Inspired Word of God."
I Don't Love my Lover
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
What You Can Learn from Pain
Author Michelle McKinney Hammond shares how to get past disappointment by listening to your pain
Boundaries in Relationships
People with low self-esteem have their major difficulties in relationships with others. This is because they are unable to establish healthy boundaries or limits with people. The reason, for this inability, is that with low self-esteem comes a variety of irrational thoughts, emotions and actions which leads people to lose themselves in relationships with others. This absorption of self into others leads to a loss of personal internal control. People with low self-esteem have a weakened "internal locus of control" and become dependent on a strong "external locus of control." They become victims to being controlled by how others think, feel about and act towards them. People with low self-esteem are dependent on others' approval and recognition and are therefore fearful of rejection by and conflict with others. It has been estimated in the self-esteem literature that over 90 percent of us are suffering from low self-esteem at one degree or another. Therefore most people in relationships are currently suffering from low self-esteem or recovering from it.
People with low self-esteem often have the irrational need to have "perfect" relationships and as a result they are often in competition for control to make their relationships be the way they think they should be. This competition results in the relationships' health deteriorating and eventually the relationship partners finds themselves in vacuous relationships with deep resentments and hurts. The partners find that they resent the others because of the belief that after giving and giving and giving they have nothing left of themselves to keep the relationships alive and well.
With healthy boundaries established, you will be able to establish and maintain a healthy intimate, physical, emotional and "Spirit filled" relationship with your relationship partners.

Way back in 1999, on January 11th, I took a deep breath and launched my little pattern company. Ten years later, in June of 2009, I launched my web site, and started my blog.
Wow, what a ride it's been!
At the 10-year mark, I introduced a Welcome Banner pattern to celebrate; and again, at the 15-year mark, I introduced another Welcome Banner pattern. So guess what?
Now that we've reached the 20-year mark, I couldn't let it pass uncelebrated, so I'm introducing another Welcome Banner pattern to celebrate 20 years!
This pattern was one of the bonus projects included in my first-ever Block-of-the-Month program, which is now out of print. Rather than let it languish in the archives, I've revived it to use for celebrating our 20th anniversary.
You can do the center portion using your favorite method of appliqué, and adding the borders is super quick and easy. The pattern is available as a PDF pattern in my Etsy Shop, and like the previous celebratory Welcome banner patterns, will always be only $5. Forever.
And since 20 years is kind of a big deal for me, I'm having a give-away!
I'm giving away 20 — yes, 20 — copies of the pattern (in PDF format — so it will get emailed to you), and all you have to do if you want to have a chance at getting one, is leave a comment on this post. If I get more than 20 comments, I will draw randomly for 20 winners. Your odds are pretty good for this one! I'll draw for the winners on February 12th.
And just for reference, here are the two previous Welcome Banners . . . this one for our 10th anniversary:
And this one for our 15th:
All these patterns are available in my Etsy Shop, always for only $5.
Thanks for reading and visiting! Thanks for being around to help us celebrate 20 years!
And the WINNERS are . . .
