The Believing Thief
A Sermon
(No. 2078)
Delivered on Lord's-day Morning, April 7th, 1889,
At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington
"And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."Luke 23:42-43.
OME TIME AGO I preached upon the whole story of the dying thief.* I do not propose to do the same to-day, but only to look at it from one particular point of view. The story of the salvation of the dying thief is a standing instance of the power of Christ to save, and of his abundant willingness to receive all that come to him, in whatever plight they may be. I cannot regard this act of grace as a solitary instance, any more than the salvation of Zacchaeus, the restoration of Peter, or the call of Saul, the persecutor. Every conversion is, in a sense, singular: no two are exactly alike, and yet any one conversion is a type of others. The case of the dying thief is much more similar to our conversion than it is dissimilar; in point of fact, his case may be regarded as typical, rather than as an extraordinary incident. So I shall use it at this time. May the Holy Spirit speak through it to the encouragement of those who are ready to despair!
No terror clothes his brow;
No bolts to drive our guilty souls
To fiercer flames below."
He comes to us full of tenderness, with tears in his eyes, mercy in his hands, and love in his heart. Believe him to be a great Saviour of great sinners. I have heard of one who had received great mercy who went about saying, "He is a great forgiver;" and I would have you say the same. You shall find your transgressions put away, and your sins pardoned once for all, if you now trust him.
The next doctrine Christ preaches from this wonderful story is faith in its permitted attachment. This man believed that Jesus was the Christ. The next thing he did was to appropriate that Christ. He said, "Lord, remember me." Jesus might have said, "What have I to do with you, and what have you to do with me? What has a thief to do with the perfect One?" Many of you, good people, try to get as far away as you can from the erring and fallen. They might infect your innocence! Society claims that we should not be familiar with people who have offended against its laws. We must not be seen associating with them, for it might discredit us. Infamous bosh! Can anything discredit sinners such as we are by nature and by practice? If we know ourselves before God we are degraded enough in and of ourselves? Is there anybody, after all, in the world, who is worse than we are when we see ourselves in the faithful glass of the Word? As soon as ever a man believes that Jesus is the Christ, let him hook himself on to him. The moment you believe Jesus to be the Saviour, seize upon him as your Saviour. If I remember rightly, Augustine called this man, "Latro laudabilis et mirabilis," a thief to be praised and wondered at, who dared, as it were, to seize the Saviour for his own. In this he is to be imitated. Take the Lord to be yours, and you have him. Jesus is the common property of all sinners who make bold to take him. Every sinner who has the will to do so may take the Lord home with him. He came into the world to save the sinful. Take him by force, as robbers take their prey; for the kingdom of heaven suffereth the violence of daring faith. Get him, and he will never get himself away from you. If you trust him, he must save you.
Next, notice the doctrine of faith in its immediate power.
And trusts in his crucified God,
His pardon at once he receives,
Redemption in full through his blood."
"To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise." He has no sooner believed than Christ gives him the seal of his believing in the full assurance that he shall be with him for ever in his glory. O dear hearts, if you believe this morning, you shall be saved this morning! God grant that you, by his rich grace, may be brought into salvation here, on the spot, and at once!
The next thing is, the nearness of eternal things. Think of that a minute. Heaven and hell are not places far away. You may be in heaven before the clock ticks again, it is so near. Could we but rend that veil which parts us from the unseen! It is all there, and all near. "To day," said the Lord; within three or four hours at the longest, "shalt thou be with me in paradise;" so near is it. A statesman has given us the expression of being "within measurable distance." We are all within measurable distance of heaven or hell; if there be any difficulty in measuring the distance, it lies in its brevity rather than in its length.
We scarce can say, 'He's gone,'
Before the ransomed spirit takes
Its mansion near the throne."
Oh, that we, instead of trifling about such things, because they seem so far away, would solemnly realize them, since they are so very near! This very day, before the sun goes down, some hearer, now sitting in this place, may see, in his own spirit, the realities of heaven or hell. It has frequently happened, in this large congregation, that some one of our audience has died ere the next Sabbath has come round: it may happen this week. Think of that, and let eternal things impress you all the more because they lie so near.
Furthermore, know that if you have believed in Jesus you are prepared for heaven. It may be that you will have to live on earth twenty, or thirty, or forty years to glorify Christ; and, if so, be thankful for the privilege; but if you do not live another hour, your instantaneous death would not alter the fact that he that believeth in the Son of God is meet for heaven. Surely, if anything beyond faith is needed to make us fit to enter paradise, the thief would have been kept a little longer here; but no, he is, in the morning, in the state of nature, at noon he enters the state of grace, and by sunset he is in the state of glory. The question never is whether a death-bed repentance is accepted if it be sincere: the question isIs it sincere? If it be so, if the man dies five minutes after his first act of faith, he is as safe as if he had served the Lord for fifty years. If your faith is true, if you die one moment after you have believed in Christ, you will be admitted into paradise, even if you shall have enjoyed no time in which to produce good works and other evidences of grace. He that reads the heart will read your faith written on its fleshy tablets, and he will accept you through Jesus Christ, even though no act of grace has been visible to the eye of man.
I conclude by again saying that this is not an exceptional case. I began with that, and I want to finish with it, because so many demi-semi-gospellers are so terribly afraid of preaching free grace too fully. I read somewhere, and I think it is true, that some ministers preach the gospel in the same way as donkeys eat thistles, namely, very, very cautiously. On the contrary, I will preach it boldly. I have not the slightest alarm about the matter. If any of you misuse free-grace teaching, I cannot help it. He that will be damned can as well ruin himself by perverting the gospel as by anything else. I cannot help what base hearts may invent; but mine it is to set forth the gospel in all its fulness of grace, and I will do it. If the thief was an exceptional caseand our Lord does not usually act in such a waythere would have been a hint given of so important a fact. A hedge would have been set about this exception to all rules. Would not the Saviour have whispered quietly to the dying man, "You are the only one I am going to treat in this way"? Whenever I have to do an exceptional favour to a person, I have to say, "Do not mention this, or I shall have so many besieging me." If the Saviour had meant this to be a solitary case, he would have faintly said to him, "Do not let anybody know; but you shall to day be in the kingdom with me." No, our Lord spoke openly, and those about him heard what he said. Moreover, the inspired penman has recorded it. If it had been an exceptional case, it would not have been written in the Word of God. Men will not publish their actions in the newspapers if they feel that the record might lead others to expect from them what they cannot give. The Saviour had this wonder of grace reported in the daily news of the gospel, because he means to repeat the marvel every day. The bulk shall be equal to sample, and therefore he sets the sample before you all. He is able to save to the uttermost, for he saved the dying thief. The case would not have been put there to encourage hopes which he cannot fulfil. Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, and not for our disappointing. I pray you, therefore, if any of you have not yet trusted in my Lord Jesus, come and trust in him now. Trust him wholly; trust him only; trust him at once. Then will you sing with me
That fountain in his day,
And there have I, though vile as he,
Washed all my sins away."

In this photograph taken before the Victorian restoration completed in 1896, the pulpit is attached to the Norman Chancel arch. During the restoration the pulpit was moved to the left. To enable this, the Peacock monument was moved to the North aisle. Behind it was discovered the doorway to the rood screen.
The fine pulpit is 17th century Jacobean, beneath the misleadingly dated 1718 sounding board which is later. As may be seen in the next slide, the pulpit was originally 1 metre (3 feet) to the right on the Norman pillar of the Chancel arch. To fit the pulpit in this earlier position the Norman pillar was badly hacked about. The rood screen doorway, seen on the upper left, was discovered during the 1896 restoration. It was covered by the Thomas Peacock memorial which was moved to the North aisle at this time.
The font is Norman, but much of the base dates from the 1896 restoration. It is said that this original Norman font was dug up either from the church grounds or from under the floor during the 1896 restoration. This original plain font had been replaced centuries ago and, because of the 9-sided font canopy, it is assumed that the font was also 9-sided. Such a shape is very unusual. The splendid oak font cover is modern, made by Reeth craftsman Philip Bastow.
The round arched Norman window is one of the few remaining parts of the 12th century church. It was a window to let in light but the tower, first built in the late 12th century, blocked it. Originally this Norman window was longer, but it was shortened to make the archway into the tower Above the Norman font is a 15th century font canopy. It is unusual in being 9 sided. Presumably the previous 15th C font also had 9 sides. The canopy is very similar to those in Ripon Cathedral and may have been made by the same people. Though now fixed, originally it could be raised & lowered and one of the pulleys may still be seen in the roof. Fonts used to be covered because it was common to bless the water on Easter Eve and keep it there, but people tried to take the water believing it had 'magical' properties.
The plaque commemorating the completion of the restoration of the church in 1896.
This pulley block is high in the roof near the Chancel arch. It is believed to have carried a trendle, an iron hoop carrying candles, which illuminated the figures on the rood screen across the Chancel arch.
The area for children.
The area set aside for prayer.
A candle may be lit and prayers left on the red board will be included in the next Service.
A fine simple medieval lectern.
It has been suggested that this may have originated at Bridlington Priory (though there is no definite evidence to support this).
The chained volume in the glass case contains a Bible commentary by "William Burkitt, late Vicar and Lecturer of Dedham, Essex."
The inscription on the fly-sheet reads: "For the Use of the Inhabitants of the Parish of Grinton. To be read at any time, especially before Divine Service begins. 1752." This much thumbed volume required rebinding in 1864. It is the 12th edition.

Zoroastrians still keeping the faith alive in Australia
As a member of, arguably, the world's oldest and first religion to believe in one god – and one of the smallest in existence – there were great hopes that Mr Medhora would marry another Zoroastrian.
Although the religion's motto is "good thoughts, good words and good deeds", and it encourages moderation and tolerance, it does not approve of conversions or evangelism.
That means increased pressure on young people to marry within the religion.

Are you aware of the concept of 'emotional cheating'?
As the name suggests, this term describes the act of breaking an emotional bond with your partner.
With emotional cheating, there is no physical betrayal. Still, it is possible for people to have emotional affairs that cause just as much hurt as a physical affair.
Here in this article, we look at defining what exactly it means to emotionally cheat on someone as well as how to know if you are emotionally cheating.
We'll look at what you can do when your spouse is caught or owns up to emotionally cheating.
As you can imagine, most emotional cheating occurs behind your back. That's why I want to recommend a tool to help catch out a shady partner.
It's an intelligent and powerful communications tracker.
When you enter a few of your partner's most basic details into this tool, it can begin to create a database of information regarding his communications history.
You'll find out who he's calling, who he's texting, what's apps he's using, what contact details he has registered, and that's just the beginning.
If any emotional cheating is taking place, this tool will make it completely obvious.
It's a completely discreet tool, so the cheat won't know he's been caught.
Still, with this information to hand, you'll be in the best possible position to deal with the situation in the correct way.
Read on to learn what emotional cheating is and how to react if it's taking place in your relationship.
What Does It Mean To Emotionally Cheat On Someone?
Emotional cheating on someone is a blurry part of infidelities and being unfaithful to a partner. The reason being is that some people will only consider cheating as something that includes kissing someone else or having sex with someone else. Emotional cheating does not include this, but it can include developing romantic feelings for someone outside of a relationship.
Within that remit of developing feelings for another person, there is a huge scope of what can go on. A person can start to have a crush on someone else, without any intention of taking it further than that. They know to act on any of their feelings will be a greater form of an emotional affair or emotional infidelity. But if you are in a relationship with a person who develops a crush on someone outside of your marriage or partnership, you would still be hurt to know that that your partner has managed to find another person attractive.
Emotional cheating or an emotional affair can be more than just a crush however. An emotional affair can include two people interacting with one another in a romantic sense – discussing feelings, telling each other that they are falling in love with them, and simply enjoying each other's company in a way that is more than pure friendship. What an emotional affair and emotionally cheating on someone won't include here is any physical sides of romance – from kissing to sex.
At some point, emotionally cheating on someone outside of your relationship will most probably include some form of deception or secrecy. To emotionally cheat may sound confusing at first given that there are so many levels to how far a purely emotional relationship can go, but at the crux of it, there is usually some form of betrayal on the part of one person's behavior.
How Do You Know If You Are Emotionally Cheating?
People get easily confused with whether or not they are partaking in an emotional infidelity as it really tests the boundaries of their current relationship with a person. Below we have listed some questions to ask yourself, to see if you have been having an emotional affair or have been emotionally cheating. The questions ask you to look out for key signs that can indicate that you have been unfaithful to your partner in an emotional sense.
1. Do You Feel Guilty?
A big question to answer if you are worried that you are emotionally cheating is to look to whether you feel guilty about your behavior. If you do, then the likelihood is probably that you have been having an emotional affair with someone else – whether those emotions are reciprocated or not.
Guilt is a good way of ascertaining whether your actions have been those of someone emotionally cheating as it shows that you know that your behavior could hurt your partner's feelings. This is fundamental to know as it's a good way of keeping your actions in check. Emotional cheating or emotional infidelity can be such a confusing area, but if you try to ensure that your actions or feelings for other people won't hurt your partner, then you will always be on the right side of the line.
2. Do You Have An Attachment To Someone Else?
Answering this question can really help you understand the connection you have between both your partner and the other person to whom you may be having an emotional affair with. If you think that you have a connection with a person that is beyond the usual realms of being with a friend, then the likelihood is that you have formed an attachment that is more romantic than your partner would be comfortable with.
Sometimes it can be difficult to ascertain whether you simply just have chemistry with a person, which can sometimes be mistaken for an attachment. To some, that chemistry could be a form of emotional infidelity, but for many, emotional cheating will be someone looking to build on that chemistry and form an attachment or a serious connection with them. It is, again, a blurry boundary – so it's good to go with your gut feeling in times like this. If you think the relationship you have with a person has started to become more serious than it should be, it points to you being part of an emotional infidelity.
3. Do You Look Forward To Spending Time With Another Person?
If you are still unsure as to whether you have been emotionally unfaithful or not, as you do not know whether the attachment you have formed is a serious one, answer whether you look forward to spending time with the other person outside of your relationship. This can be a very quick question to answer with a yes or no question.
This can take out any confusion for you if you are uncertain as to whether your actions are an emotional infidelity or not. An attachment to a person can be hard to define sometimes, so asking yourself if you are looking forward to seeing him or her is easier to grasp.
4. Are You Keeping Secrets From Our Significant Other?
Another hard and fast question to answer is whether you have been keeping secrets from your wife or husband to cover up your actions or feelings. This can be a key sign that you have had or are having an emotional infidelity with someone else outside of your relationship.
Keeping a secret from your partner is never going to be a healthy aspect of a relationship, as it's key to be honest with each other at all times. With reference to having an emotional infidelity, if you have ever kept a secret about your true feelings for another person, or what you have done with another person or whether you have even been texting or messaging another person romantically, then you have most likely been having an emotional affair.
What Do You Do When Your Spouse Is Emotionally Cheating?
Finding out that your spouse is emotionally cheating can be a very tough time for a relationship. It's possible to be happy again, but it takes some proactive decisions and actions from both parties in a partnership.
1. Talk To Each Other
One of the best ways to improve your relationship when you have found out that one of you have been emotionally cheating is to talk to each other. Opening up the lines of communication between one another is key to working through the issues in your marriage or partnership so that they don't happen again.
Knowing how each other is feeling is fundamental to you both being happy and content.
2. Be Honest
When you open up the communication in your relationship, you both need to be honest in the process. Without being honest, and laying all your feelings and ideas on the table, you won't be able to work through all the problems you have and resolve them. Being honest can be painful to your other half sometimes, but it is essential to do so that you both have the best chance of moving forward.
3. Look At Your Relationship
In being honest with one another, you are giving your relationship the best possible chance of being in a happy and healthy relationship again. However, being honest with one another will identify problems between the two of you and you need to tackle those issues head-on. Be as analytical as you can with why those problems arose so that you can ensure that they don't cause problems in the future for you again.
4. Go To Couples Therapy
If, when you talk to each other about how emotional cheating has affected you, you find that you do not improve your relationship, it may be a good idea to go to couples therapy. A therapist is a good way of working through problems as they allow you both a safe space to air your views.
Emotionally cheating on someone means you start a relationship in a romantic way without the physical side of things taking place. This can manifest itself in many different ways – for example, through actual dates or simply the want to sleep with someone else outside of the relationship.
You'll know if you are emotionally cheating if you are honest with yourself. If you are going outside of your relationship or marriage for a love interest from another person, whether you are sleeping with them or not is emotional cheating.
People emotionally cheat and have emotional affairs because their current relationship falls short for them somehow. There could be issues in your current relationship with communication, intimacy, or attraction perhaps, which is why you could be looking for emotional connections elsewhere.
The problem with emotional cheating is that it has a lot of blurred lines. If you have romantic feelings for someone else, it may not be cheating, but it could definitely suggest there are issues in your current partnership which may benefit from your addressing.
Emotional cheating can sometimes be a purely mental thing. It does not always need to end up in two people meeting up. If you are texting someone with romantic sentiments, then this is a clear indication of emotional cheating taking place that has moved from just the mental emotional cheating.
The Bottom Line
Emotional cheating can be a difficult time for any relationship. When someone has an emotional connection with someone else outside of the relationship, it can play havoc with your confidence and your happiness. It is a natural reaction to start double guessing both yourself but also your partner's every action.
Whether it is you or your partner that emotionally cheats, it is possible to move forward and be happy in your relationship again. However, it takes hard work and dedication to resolve any issues that you have between the two of you – both because of the emotionally cheating but also before the emotional infidelity took place too. Emotional affairs can often be a symptom of something else that is wrong a relationship, so it's a good idea to work through those issues to ensure that affairs don't happen again.

After weeks of not being able to ride to Hug Hill, it's possible again. There's still some slippery and melting snow on part of the climb but I gladly walked my bike through that stuff to make it to this special vista.
Then, I visited a trail camera that sees just a few flurries of activity each year. It's a trail camera site that tests my patience, as I find memory cards full of squirrel photos most of the time. This time, I hit the JACKPOT!
First, I discovered that it was a place where the mountain lion, who killed a deer behind our house on the night of 4/24, visited in between bouts of feeding on the carcass. Here she was, lying in the sunshine. She appeared to be posing for my trail camera. She's such a beauty. I wish she didn't have ear tags and a collar on her.

Alot of people have recently gone natural to prove a point: we're happy to be nappy; proud to be natural; etc. But I decided to stop perming my hair because I'm cheap and I have no patience for hair salons. I got tired of spending $60 bucks for a hairstyle that may last a few days. I can't sleep on my hands either, so it was just a waste. So I decided to let what God gave me come on out and this was the end result. If you like it cool. If you don't, I could care less.
As far as hair politics go, I wish more Black women would be proud and comfortable enough to wear their hair how it naturally forms from their head. I know it's easier to manage straight hair, but you can go for days and not do a thing to your fro. People NEVER know when I'm having a bad hair day! ha! But we never discuss the standard of beauty that was created that led to us perming our hair: white womanhood was the standard, and thus it became our standard to live up to. But if you realize, we have never been able to uphold standards of white feminine beauty, our hair, our bodies, our dress, our existence is opposite of that. We need to embrace our own unique beauty and create our own standards, our own norms, and create our own set of politics (if you want to).
I also stop wearing hair weave because it makes me itch - that's it (although it does smell funny (the cheaper it is the funnier it smells)). I think it's beautiful (sometimes).

After jumping out to a hot start in out of conference play, the Rams (12-4, 4-3) dropped 3 of their first 4 games in the Colonial. The first of which was a 1 point heartbreaker just an hour down 64 East against William and Mary.
VCU Lead by as many as 17 points that game, including a 13 point halftime lead they were unable to close out as David Schneider hit a game winning free throw with just seconds remaining.
The black and gold get their first chance at redemption this Wednesday night, 7:30 at home against the Tribe (which will most likely sell out, so pick up your tickets tomorrow at the Siegel Center box office or by calling 828-RAMS).
Tony Shaver's team is playing some of the best basketball in the history of their program including two road wins against ACC teams: a 10 point win at Wake Forest, and an equally impressive domination of Maryland.
The Tribe sit atop the CAA with an impressive 6-1 conference record (14-3 overall).
If the Rams want to have any chance at winning a regular season CAA crown (and a Friday night bye come CAA tourny time), it all starts this week with rematches against William and Mary and the Huskies of Northeastern.
This Wednesday's matchup should be electric as students return from winter break.
VCU follows that game with a road game at the never crowded Matthews Arena in Boston, Mass.
Both teams are top 100 RPI teams, William and Mary currently sits at 27th, Northeastern at 64th.

Why Valassis Communications Shares Dropped
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Valassis Communications were taking a hit today, falling as much as 11%, after reporting a weak fourth quarter.
So what: The direct mail specialist said net income dropped slightly in the quarter, from $34.3 million, to $34.1 million, though earnings per share improved from $0.76, to $0.85, but missed estimates by $0.10. Revenue declined 3%, to $579.4 million, and sales in its targeted neighborhood segment dropped by 15% on lower demand. Management guided 2013 EPS at $3.50, slightly below expectations at $3.52.
Now what: As the post office's recent announcements indicate, physical mail is fading away, and the USPS's plan to eliminate Saturday delivery should only hasten the demise for companies like Valassis. At a forward P/E of eight, the stock is cheap, but it's cheap for a reason. As further confirmation of its impending decline, the company has promised to spend most of its free cash flow on dividends and share buybacks, indicating little opportunity for operational growth. I'd stay away from this one.

At 5:40 a.m. Thursday, an Evesham police officer located a suspicious package in the lobby area of the Municipal Complex.
Police say the suspicious package was addressed to the Evesham Municipal Court Judge and had wires protruding from the side, appearing to be a bomb.
As a precaution, police evacuated the complex, closed New Road, and called the New Jersey State Police Bomb Squad.
Once on the scene, the bomb squad detonated the package and deemed the device not to be an explosive.
Anyone who has information is asked to contact the Evesham Police Department at 856-983-1116.

We, the Board of Directors of the Frisco Heritage Green Residential Association, have employed Manning & Meyers, Attorneys at Law to do our collections for delinquent home owners. We have been happy with their progress and plan on working with them well into the future. We have found Manning & Meyers to be prompt in their actions. When we require a collection activity on a case, the first steps have begun in a matter of hours, not weeks, as seems to be common for most collection firms. When we have questions regarding a particular collection case, we have the ability to call up that case online and view its history and case notes, or the ability to call the firm and have them answer our questions. Our emails and phone calls are always promptly returned by an attorney. In all, Manning & Meyers has been professional and dependable. We highly recommend their firm to any homeowners association.
As the collections manager for Select Management I find Manning & Meyers to be strong in their communication, execution, and are intellectually multifaceted. Their online resources are accessible; providing accurate account status and history for open or closed cases. The attorneys are dedicated, hands on, and proactive with Homeowners. A valuable asset is Casey Meyers who is a silent leader and self-starter. Anytime I have questions regarding individual cases the response is immediate and he will take the time to explain the circumstance and offer direction. Manning & Meyers will continuously monitor their accounts from the beginning to a definitive end. They are highly recommended.
Manning & Meyers has received the Gold Award for pro bono work from the Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program (DVAP) for both 2015 and 2017. The Gold Award is the highest honor given to a law firm office with 50 lawyers or less that accepted and closed the most pro bono cases. The firm's attorneys and paralegals completed more pro bono hours, on average, than any other law firm in Dallas with less than 50 attorneys. DVAP, a joint program of the Dallas Bar Association and Legal Aid of Northwest Texas, provides free legal services to those citizens of Dallas County, Texas living at or below poverty level. DVAP focuses on recruitment, training, and supporting volunteer attorneys who donate legal services to income-eligible clients. Manning & Meyers is a proud supporter of DVAP.

State lawmakers and advocates objected Tuesday to what they say is President Donald Trump's latest assault on federal protections for transgender people.
Connecticut is the latest state to join an alliance opposing a Trump administration proposal to repeal and replace an Obama-era regulation prohibiting health care providers from discriminating against transgender people. The new rule would eliminate an expanded definition of sex which recognized gender identity as an avenue for sex discrimination.
Under the Trump administration proposal, health care workers could object to performing procedures such as gender reassignment surgery, and insurance companies would not be required to cover all services for transgender patients. The public comment period for the new rule ends August 13.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services rule would impact approximately 12,400 transgender people in Connecticut, state officials said.
Eva Gold, a Connecticut 13-year-old, said the proposal is disheartening because it means transgender people like herself would not have equal rights under the law.
"This would mean that I would not have blockers or hormones," Gold said. "This is important to me because these services and medications make me my whole self."
Gold said transgender people have one of the highest attempted suicide rates in the country — a national study estimates that approximately 41% of non-binary youth have at one-point attempted suicide. Gold said she is among that group.
"I felt out of place. I was made fun of daily and discriminated against so I tried to take my life because my body did not match who I am," Gold said. "How would you feel if your loved one took their own life because they couldn't get the emotional or medical support they needed to live their best life as their authentic self?"
Sen. Richard Blumenthal said he expects 29 of his colleagues to co-sign a letter objecting to the proposal.
"This administration, in effect, wants to turn back the clock, roll back the law and enable rampant systemic discrimination," Blumenthal said. "The consequences here are severe and immediate. One out of every four transgender people reports some serious discrimination based on their gender identity. This is not some hypothetical problem in the future."
Tony Ferraiolo, a North Branford resident and advocate, said he knows what it feels like to be denied health care because of his trans status, and echoed others' predictions about the dire consequences of implementing the proposal.
"Eliminating the general prohibition on discrimination based on gender identity, as well as specific health insurance coverage protections for transgender individuals will literally kill members of the transgender and non-binary communities," Ferraiolo said.
"We can't go back to the days when health care providers and first responders could stand around a trans person and watch them die."
Diana Lombardi, executive director of the Connecticut TransAdvocacy Coalition, said the health care coverage at risk is not frivolous but medically necessary and supported by the American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association and the World Association of Transgender Health, among other groups.
Lombardi said a 2015 survey revealed that the majority of transgender people in the United States get their health insurance on the open market and not through an employer.
"We are concerned about health care providers being able to invoke religious exemptions and refusing to give medical care to us. There have been a number of cases where medical providers refused to provide care and resulted in death or serious injury," Lombardi said. "In Connecticut, one woman was denied health care when she went into the emergency room and they found out she was trans. They told her to go home and take two Aspirin. She later found out she had a broken hip and spine."
State Attorney General William Tong said the Obama-era regulation struck a balance between individual liberties, particularly the rights of the LGTBQ+ community and religious liberty, while but new federal regulation seeks to upset that balance by prioritizing health care providers' right to deny care on religious grounds over a transgender person's right to health care.
Tong said that his office will stand with the multi-state coalition, which includes Massachusetts and New York.
Prior to the Trump administration, transgender people with health insurance in Connecticut were protected by both state and federal law. In this latest rollback of federal protections however, there will no longer be a federal umbrella of protection, leaving self-insured plans at risk.
The Affordable Care Act forbids discrimination based on race, national origin, disability, age or sex in health-related programs that receive federal funding. The language includes gender identity as an aspect of sex.
A coalition of states and religious health providers challenged the law in court, however, and in December 2016 a federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked that portion of the regulation. The judge, Reed O'Connor, based his decision on the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision of 2014, ruling that the plaintiffs in the current case, three Christian-affiliated medical groups, should have the "religious freedom" to turn away transgender people.
O'Connor has yet to issue a final ruling, however, and a preliminary injunction remains in place.
The U.S. Justice Department agreed with O'Connor in court filings this year, and the Trump administration rewrote the rule. However, the new proposal would additionally eliminate protections for LGTBQ+ patients, patients who have had or are considering abortions, those with limited English proficiency, and populations that already experience worse health outcomes, said Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz.
Bysiewicz said a pattern is emerging in the Trump administration's series of federal rollbacks that target transgender people. She said the administration's gutting of anti-discrimination prohibitions at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the ban on transgender people serving in the military are just a few examples of the pattern.
"I just want to put this in context because this is a constant battle against discrimination that we are fighting at the state and the federal level now," Bysiewicz said. "What the president is trying to do is to institutionalize discrimination in yet another federal law and so we are here today to stand up and forcefully and clearly say that transgender people in our state and our country should have equal access to health care."

May 2, 2019 – This World Press Freedom Day, CPJ remembers the at least 1,340 journalists who have been killed in relation to their work worldwide since 1992. We salute the bravery of those who continue to risk their lives to bring us the news.
In 2018, CPJ recorded 54 journalists killed for their work worldwide. Of those, 34 were singled out for murder, which is an 88% increase from the previous year. This year, we have already confirmed five journalists killed for their work in Ghana, Honduras, the UK, Libya, and Mexico.
At least 250 journalists were imprisoned across the world simply for doing their job, according to CPJ's 2018 prison census. We have also found an uptick in journalists imprisoned on "false news" charges, with 19 cases in Egypt, followed by Cameroon with four, Rwanda with three, and one each in China and Morocco.
The world's worst jailers of journalists continue to be Turkey, China, and Egypt. The three countries combined were responsible for more than half of those jailed around the world.
Join CPJ and press freedom organizations around the world in calling for the release of imprisoned journalists, justice for those killed, and acknowledging that journalism is not crime. Join the conversation by tweeting #WPFD2019 or #PressFreedom.

Are Prenuptial Agreements Limiting Spousal Maintenance Enforceable?
By: M. Scott Gordon
Generally speaking, premarital agreements (also known as prenuptial agreements, or prenups) tend to be a good idea if they are entered into willingly by both parties and when they outline conditions that are fair to both of the parties involved. But what happens when two parties enter into a premarital agreement that eliminates spousal support, and by the time the couple files for divorce, the agreement no longer seems fair? And can couples even enter into a premarital agreement that eliminates spousal maintenance in the first place? These are important questions, and in order to understand the relationship between premarital agreements and spousal maintenance, you will need to have an understanding of what can go into a premarital agreement, and when it can and cannot be enforced.
Can a Premarital Agreement Include Spousal Maintenance?
The first thing you might be asking yourself: is it legal for two parties to contract about spousal maintenance when they are creating a prenuptial agreement? And if so, can they agree to eliminate spousal maintenance altogether? Under the Illinois Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (750 ILCS 10/), parties can indeed include information in their prenuptial agreement concerning spousal maintenance. Specifically, the statute states that "parties to a premarital agreement may contract with respect to . . . the modification or elimination of spousal support."
What does this mean in practice? Parties can place a clause in their premarital agreement that specifies how spousal maintenance might be paid, or what type of amount both parties agree upon, in the event of divorce. At the same time, the parties can agree that, in the event of divorce, there will be no spousal maintenance awarded. While spousal maintenance can be eliminated in a prenuptial agreement, the parties can not limit a court's power in awarding child support.
What Happens if Circumstances Change?
If there is an existing premarital agreement that eliminates spousal support, what happens if it is markedly unfair to the spouse in need of support at the time of the divorce? We can provide a hypothetical example. For instance, imagine that two parties decide to get married when they are in their early 20s. When they are planning for their marriage, they agree that spousal maintenance should be eliminated from their premarital agreement since both parties plan to have lucrative careers during the marriage. As it turns out, the couple later decides to have children, and they decide that it makes sense for one of the spouses to stay home with the kids. Spouse A becomes the primary earner for the family while Spouse B spends most time at home raising the children. The children grow up, and Spouse B never returns to her career. After decades of marriage, the spouses decide to divorce, and Spouse B needs spousal maintenance in order to get back on her feet.
The statute actually has a specific provision to address scenarios in which spousal maintenance was eliminated from the premarital agreement legally, but that elimination does not make sense at the time of the divorce. Under the enforcement section of the statute (750 ILCS 10/7), the law makes clear that "if a provision of a premarital agreement modifies or eliminates spousal support and that modification or elimination causes one party to the agreement undue hardship in light of circumstances not reasonably foreseeable at the time of the execution of the agreement, a court, notwithstanding the terms of the agreement, may require the other part to provide support to the extent necessary to avoid such a hardship."

Steering and suspension components are vital to your driving experience. They are responsible for your ride comfort, directional stability, and also influence tire wear. Worn, loose, or misadjusted steering and suspension components can also shorten the life of your tires. Worn tires will affect fuel mileage as well as your vehicle's grip on the road in all sorts of conditions.
Tie rod ends, ball joints, and center links are just a few of the typical steering and suspension components that require regular inspections and maintenance. Tie rods connect the left and right wheels to the steering mechanism while ball joints allow your wheels to turn freely and remain as close to vertical as possible in their movement up and down over the road surface.
While many vehicles on the road today have "sealed" components that require no lubrication but still require periodic inspections for damage or wear, many vehicles do have "serviceable" components, which means that they require regular servicing in the form of lubrication. Lubing your steering and suspension components is fairly easy. This article will show you how to lube the steering and suspension components correctly.
Part 1 of 3: Lift your vehicle
Materials Needed
- Creeper
- Floor jack
- Grease cartridge
- Grease Gun
- Jack stands
- Rags
- Vehicle owner's manual
Note: Be sure to use a floor jack with the appropriate weight capacity to lift your vehicle. Be sure the jack stands are of the appropriate capacity as well. If you are unsure of your vehicle's weight, check the VIN label which is usually located on the inside of the driver's door or on the door jamb itself for your vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
Tip: If you don't have a creeper, use a piece of wood or cardboard so that you don't need to lie on the ground.
Step 1: Locate your vehicle's jacking points. With most vehicles being low to the ground and having large trays or belly pans under the front of the car, it is best to do one side at a time.
Jack the vehicle up at the recommended jacking points instead of trying to raise it by sliding the jack under the front of the car.
- Note: Some vehicles have a clear marker or cut out under the sides of the car located near each wheel to indicate the proper jacking point. If your vehicle does not have these indications, consult your owner's manual for the proper jack point locations.
Step 2: Secure the wheel. Position the wheel chocks or blocks, in front of and behind at least one or both rear wheels.
Raise the car slowly until the tire just loses contact with the ground.
Once you get to that point, find the lowest point underneath the car at which to place a jack stand.
- Note: Be sure to place each jack stand in a strong spot such as under a cross-member or chassis to support the car. Once positioned, slowly lower the car onto the jack stand using the floor jack. Do not fully lower the jack and keep it in the extended position.
Part 2 of 3: Lubricate the steering and suspension components
Step 1: Access the components below your car. Using your creeper or cardboard, slide yourself under the car while keeping your rag and grease gun handy.
The serviceable components such as tie rods, ball joints, will have a grease fitting on them. Look around the steering and suspension assemblies to make sure you spot all of them.
Typically, on each side, you will have: 1 upper and 1 lower ball joint as well as an outer tie rod end. Towards the middle of the car from the driver's side, you may also find a pitman arm connected to the steering box and center link (if so equipped) which connects the left and right tie rods together. You may also find an idler arm on the passenger side, which supports the center link on that side. You should be able to easily reach the driver's side center link grease fitting while servicing the driver's side.
- Note: Due to the offset design of some wheels, you may not be able to get the grease gun onto the upper and/or lower ball joint grease fittings easily without first removing the wheel and tire assembly. If that's the case, follow instructions in your owner's manual for proper wheel removal and reinstallation.
Step 2: Fill the components with grease. Each of these components may have a rubber boot around them. Once you connect the grease gun to them and pull the trigger to fill them with grease, keep an eye on those boots. Ensure that you do not fill them with grease to the point that they may burst loose.
Some components however, are designed to allow some grease to escape when full. If you see that occur, that's the indication that the component is full.
Generally it just takes a couple of good squeezes of the grease gun trigger to put as much grease in each component as needed. Repeat that process with each component.
Step 3: Remove excess grease. Once you have lubed each component, wipe off any excess grease that may have come out.
Now you can raise the car back onto the jack, remove the jack stand, and and lower it back onto the ground.
Follow the same process and precautions for lifting and lubricating the other side.
Part 3 of 3: Lubricate the rear suspension components (If applicable)
Not all cars have rear suspension components that require routine lubrication. Typically, a car with independent rear suspension may have these components, but not all. Check with your local auto parts professionals or use online sources to see if your car has serviceable rear components before you jack up the rear of your car needlessly. If your car has these rear components, follow the same directions and precautions as for the front suspension when lifting and supporting the vehicle before you lubricate any rear suspension components.
If you are not comfortable with performing this process on your own, get a certified professional, such as one from YourMechanic, to lubricate the steering and suspension.

Wendy I just love Wednesday mornings, you save me so much time! The coconut cream is a great price, as is the beetroot and corn - worth stocking up on if you use them. I smiled at your comment on the Nutrigrain - I always put their favourite cereals in Wayne's and the kids' stockings :)ReplyDelete
I will definitely be stocking up on those half price chocolates for Christmas gifts! I also use the Moccona jars to store dry goods in my pantry :)ReplyDelete
Hi Wendy, thought I would mention that all Cadbury bars are 85 c at Woolies this week also. I always make up our own chocolate stockings and this is a grat price!ReplyDelete
*great* price I mean! LolReplyDelete

Deal of the week! Ritz Carlton Residences Beaver Creek!
My fellow Passholders and future Passholders, here is a case study of how to WIN with Inspirato Pass. The above trip from January 13-16, if booked today, will be complete in 42 days from now. Pass subscription costs $2,500/month, or $83/day. 42 days of Pass costs us just $3,486. Now hold that thought for just a minute!
Let me introduce you to the deal of the week; a three night luxury getaway to Beaver Creek, CO.
This reservation is for Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch at Beaver Creek, ski-in ski-out 3 bedroom 3.5 bathroom penthouse overlooking the slopes at Bachelor Gulch. I'm going to assume that a great number of us members love skiing. And here's the great news, flights to Colorado are no more than 3.5 hours from most any destination in the continental US (you Southern Florida folks have a bit longer flight), making this quite convenient for most members. This penthouse sleeps six so call your kids, your friends, and make some plans to get to Beaver Creek!
I love Beaver Creek but I'm not going to focus on the destination here, I'm going to focus on the incredible value that can be achieved with this reservation. Getting back to the numbers…in essence this trip will cost you 42 days of Pass, as it will be that long until you can make a subsequent reservation. Yet, the estimated value is $12,673. That means that you are achieving a 3.64 value return multiple on your cost! That's extraordinary. Another way to look at it is that you are only paying 27.5% of the retail cost for this stay, a 72.5% discount. This is why Pass is so extraordinary! You will have already received over five months of subscription value with just this one trip. That's how you WIN at Inspirato Pass my friends! Now go grab that reservation before I do! 🙂
I understand that this requires planning a trip on somewhat of short notice. But shoot, it's only for 3 nights. Move some meetings around, call the dog-sitter, book your flights, and enjoy a ski getaway in the absolute prime of ski season. And if you don't ski, or if you place equal importance on your aprés ski experience, call your Inspirato on-site concierge, have them book your favorite spa treatments, and request that the following be waiting for you in your penthouse kitchen upon your arrival:
- Bottle of Maker's Mark or your favorite whiskey
- Organic, locally-sourced honey
- a couple of lemons for juicing and lemon rounds
- cinnamon sticks
Now, click here when you arrive at your Ritz Carlton penthouse and you're ready to kick off an incredible Beaver Creek winter getaway! Enjoy Pass members!
Happy Travels!
Check out Inspirato Pass here and get signed up! You could be on one of these amazing trips yourself in just days!
P.S. – I'd be remiss if I didn't point you to the other available reservations on each side of the Ritz Carlton Beaver Creek reservation. They are equally impressive, so poke around and find the best fit for you! And again, shoot me a message if you have any questions about how to filter and search to see these results.

If a family member posed as a homeless person, would you recognize him or her?
That's the question a new campaign -- Make Them Visible -- is asking. In a video produced by ad agency Silver + Partners and Smuggler for the New York City Rescue Mission, several people come face-to-face with their relatives and significant others dressed as homeless people. However, not a single participant recognizes their mother, brother or wife.
"There's only one person that didn't make it into the film -- because they couldn't handle the fact that they walked by their family," video director Jun Diaz of Smuggler production company told Fast Company. "It happened every time."
The jarring social experiment, staged in Tribeca and Soho near the mission's shelter, shows just how invisible homeless people are to pedestrians on the street.
"We don't look at them. We don't take a second look," Michelle Tolson, director of public relations for the New York City Rescue Mission, told The Huffington Post.
Tolson explained that the ad agency and production company hired actors for a documentary video and quietly contacted each person's family to see if they would be interested in being apart of the social experiment. While the family members were in on the ruse, the participants had no idea they were being set up, and only learned after the fact when they watched themselves walk past their "homeless" family member.
"The experiment is a powerful reminder that the homeless are people, just like us, with one exception," Craig Mayes, executive director of New York City Rescue Mission, said in a statement provided to HuffPost. "They are in trouble and in pain. And they are someone's uncle or cousin or wife."
Watch how each person reacts after the big reveal in Make Them Visible's video above.

The Lamb's Carol: Piano & Vocals
When an Angel comes and the shepherds call their flock, and they all cry 'Let us go,' this little lamb goes too and lies beside the baby, warming him with his fur. When the little lamb gives himself as a gift to the baby Jesus and feels him to be like a brother, we experience them both and all of us as the great family of creation.
And so the lamb becomes the symbol of "The Lamb of God". "Little Lamb, who made thee?" (William Blake).

|The Lesson
"Now just what, Matt", I said in my most stern and unflinching voice, " do you intend to do about the situation."
My 10 year old son stood, in billowy adult-sized Seal-Dry waders that seemed now to expose only a small neck and head, tears streaming down his face and sobbing, on the gravel bar in the Deschutes. I could see his fine but forgetful mind spinning through the choices, small in number and poor as they were. He was trapped , and I knew it, and the tears showed he was rapidly reaching that same conclusion. The question, and the tone in my voice removed one of his three options. Inside though, I felt about as tearful as he did. This was not going to be a fun day on the river.
The problem was that Matt's rod, Matt's new Orvis "Fine n' Far", 9'3" blank Christmas present, finished by Matt the week before, was leaning against a tree somewhere in our last camp about four
miles upriver. We had rapidly broken camp after breakfast to get moving early to secure our next and favorite campsite. After about 45 minutes of floating I pulled in to fish, and Matt had asked, "where's my rod?". When a thorough search of the boat yielded nothing, Matt thought it might be in the other boat,
which was out of sight downstream. Knowing it was either going to get a lot better, or a lot worse, I rowed hard trying to catch up, and finally did after another two miles. And thus two boats, four adults, and my older son, waited on a sterile and fishless bar, for Matt's decision.
Matt sobbed, wishing he could just melt into an immobile puddle of tears as sometimes was his habit previously in such a situation . But such a meltdown here would still be four miles from his rod. "I'm going to have to walk back and get the rod", he finally blurted, and sobbed harder now that his fate was sealed. I know he wanted to leave it, just write it off and wait for Santa's return trip, but I was not about to let that happen. Matt's forgetfullness, the result of a fine and uncluttered mind merrily dancing it's way through it's rosy future, needed a lesson. This would be part of the solution.
"O.K., now listen," I said, knowing I might as well reveal the worst all at once. "Get out of your waders and put on your socks and tennis shoes. Just follow the tracks back to the old camp, you can't get lost. Take a Pepsi or two, because it's going to be hot and dry. WE'LL BE CAMPED AT THE BOWER, YOU KNOW WHERE THAT IS, JUST BELOW THE LONG, DIAGONAL RIFFLE." I just added another four miles to his return, downstream walk.

are primitive mammals. They have many characteristics of the
other mammals, but they also have features that are reptilian
in nature. Monotremes are the only mammals that lay eggs, and
they are the only representatives of the subclass Prototheria.
It is widely believed that mammals, including the monotremes,
are monophyletic, having evolved only once from the therapsid
reptiles in the late Triassic period.
Platypus is the representative of the family Ornithorynchidae,
and the Echidnas are of the family Tachyglossidae.
do not have teeth as adults, have several unusual distinguishing
anatomical skeletal characters, including the presence of cervical
ribs, absence of lacrimal bones and of auditory bullae. The
jaws are covered with rubbery, hairless skin, Vibrissae are
lacking, and a cloaca is present. The uteri are completely unfused,
mammary glands lack nipples. In males the penis is bifurcate
at the tip, and is attached to the ventral wall of the cloaca.
The word "monotreme" refers to the single opening
(or cloaca) into which the digestive, excretory and reproductory
tracts open.
Platypus is both semiaquatic and semifossorial, spends most
of its time in the water and feeds on aquatic invertebrates.
The Echidnas are terrestrial and also semifossorial, feeding
upon termites and other insects and larvae, which they excavate
with their powerful claws.
are known only from the Australian region (including Australia,
Tasmania, and New Guinea).
history of the Montremata is poorly known but is thought to
represent a line distantly related to the other living mammals.
A few fossil forms of each of the two living families have been
found from the Pleistocene of Australia. They may have evolved
from a group of therapsids that were distinct from those that
were the ancestors of marsupials and the placental mammals.

Residents invited to dispose of household hazardous waste and unwanted medications in Leesburg
LEESBURG – (RealEstateRama) — Lake County Solid Waste, in partnership with the Leesburg Police Department, is encouraging Lake County residents to dispose of unwanted household hazardous materials and medications in a safe and environmentally conscious way at an upcoming collection event.
The county's Household Hazardous Waste Mobile Unit will be collecting items from 9 a.m. – noon on Thursday, April 14 at the Home Depot parking lot, located at 10825 U.S. Highway 441, Leesburg.
Representatives will be on-hand to collect unused or unwanted medications in addition to small quantities of waste products such as lawn and gardening materials, photo and swimming pool chemicals, paint and related products, cleaning solutions, motor oil and used gas, batteries, fluorescent lamps, light bulbs and small propane tanks.
The collection event is open to Lake County residents with proof of residency.
Staff at the event will be offering convenient drive-thru disposal of items so residents won't have to leave their vehicles. Materials such as infectious waste, solvents, chemical laboratory waste and radioactive waste are prohibited.
Excessive amounts of hazardous materials will not be accepted due to limited space in the mobile unit. If residents have large quantities of items to dispose of, a special drop-off day may be scheduled at the Central Solid Waste Facility, located at 13130 County Landfill Road in Tavares, by calling 352-343-3776.

Working From Home with Kids: 7 Tips to Make it Work
This unprecedented time has brought forth a slew of challenges, one of which has been glaring for many: working from home with kids is hard.
And with summer here and many summer activities cancelled, how do you balance your work life and home life? Here are 7 tips from Metroplex Wealth – your source for retirement planning near Dallas – on how to maximize this time:
Allow Flexibility
Your schedule may look different during this time. Many it's not a traditional 9-5. Pay attention to when you have scheduled meetings and work around those times. Maybe your schedule is 2-hour blocks throughout the day. Give yourself flexibility to get some work done, then take the dog or kids out for a walk.
Create a Designated Workspace
For some working from home – full time or part time – is normal. For many, this experience has been new. Find a place in your home that can be a designated workspace, away from the noise where you can focus on the work at hand. Avoid setting up shop in the dining room or in a high traffic area of the home where distractions are plentiful.
Take Advantage of "Off Peak" Hours
Do you an early riser or a night owl? Take advantage of these "off peak" times when your family may be sleeping to get some extra work done. It's amazing how productive you can be in the early hours of the day on a full night of sleep!
Set Daily Priorities
Prioritize your tasks in terms of things that must happen today – and things that can wait. Tackle the "must dos" first, then as you work down the list, you can begin working toward accomplishing more. Assuring the tasks that must get done are completed will relieve stress and give a sense of accomplishment.
Give Kids Additional Responsibility
Kids can do more than we often give them credit for. Teach them how to do common household chores, make their own breakfast, or get their own snacks. Delegating these common interruptions will give them a sense of accomplishment – and give you more time to get work done.
Dress Up your Workspace
It's true that if we enjoy our workspace, we're more productive and more likely to spend our time there. Do what you can to make your new workspace feel inviting and productive. Add greenery by moving a common houseplant to your desk from another area of the home. Buy a few simple organization bins or shelves to keep your supplies organized. As we work on retirement planning near Dallas from our home offices, we find that these little touches can go a long way to better productivity.
Give Yourself Grace
Working from home with kids isn't easy. Some days are going to go well – others might involve your child in front a screen all day while you're hope for a little quiet time to get your work done. Give yourself grace, knowing this season will pass and your kids will likely remember this time with fond memories of their time at home.
If you're evaluating your retirement plans during this time and want to know how this current pandemic might be affecting your long-term financial goals, Metroplex Wealth would love to talk with you. Our team specializes in retirement planning near Dallas and can help with all of your financial planning needs.

Fast forward to today, and it is being reported that Fritz Nol has submitted its formal offer for Fisker to the Department of Energy. The government agency, which is still owed by Fisker most of a $192 million loan, has a say in the ultimate disposition of the company.
Green Car Reports has discovered that a Fritz Nol investor, Ingo Voigt, has posted on Facebook that the group has submitted its offer to the DOE.
"I am proud to tell you that we just sent our detailed offer including a signed LOI [Letter Of Intent] and short presentation of our restructing plan to the DoE on fax and mail," Voight's post read. "Now it's time to pray!"
Despite it being almost a year since Fisker last made a car, the company is yet to announce bankruptcy and remains confident a new investor or even a potential buyer can be found. In addition to Fritz Nol, a group led by auto industry veteran Bob Lutz, another led by Fisker's own founder Henrik Fisker, and Chinese automaker BAIC have all expressed interest, though none have formally announced their intentions. Perhaps Fritz Nol's offer will encourage the others to also make an offer for Fisker.
Stay tuned for an update.
