I Timothy 2:1-4 (NLT) I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.
In many court cases, attorneys will call on expert witnesses. Doctors or specialists in a variety of fields to testify on behalf of their client. These individuals are retained by either side – plaintiff or defense in order to sway jurors in their favor by proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Human reasoning can be a dangerous thing. People are bias. Objectivity tainted by a subjective perspective of life. Emotional impact causes us to feel rather than rely on the facts or truth sometimes. It can impair our judgment at times. The more influential the witnesses in a case the more likely it is for a ruling in your favor. These individuals called to testify are highly paid based on their qualifications. While the counsel may give passionate statements, these folks just speak the truth. Their words hold conviction as they relay what education and experience have given them. They have no side to take other than that of truth. No need to be emotional because at the end of the day they do not win or lose but continue about their daily life.
Each of us is called to be a witness. To share the Gospel of God's Love and illuminate the dark world in which we live as temporary residents journeying to our forever home. Are we expert witnesses? I wonder. During the past election, my Facebook Friends list grew a bit smaller. I had to unfollow many people who I have kept on my timeline for years. The debate grew ugly. The arguments became less about truth and more about agendas. Hate began to fester. There was no encouragement or kindness as brothers and sisters in Christ began to wage war amongst themselves. Please do not judge me for one click of the button. I did not want to get drawn in or begin to have bitterness in my heart so I disengaged instead. I do not have a dog in the fight as they say. Yes, I live in America. I pray for my country. Yet, I am just a temporary resident. My home is a Kingdom far greater than this place that I live. I have a purpose in my travels. It is to be an expert witness. I must decide who I am in Christ and assume my identity as Child of God to represent Him well.
I Timothy 2:1-4 is a great reminder of real worship. One of my very best friends is a worship leader. My son-in-law the same by profession and trade. When the Bible talks about "instructions about worship", this is the description given. To pray for each other. Ask God to help them. To intercede on behalf of others. To give thanks for them. Pray for all who are in authority. To live peaceful and quiet lives personified by godliness and dignity. This is good. It pleases our Savior. He wants everyone saved and to understand the Truth. In the words of Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men, "You can't handle the truth." I wonder if we can really handle the Truth appropriately. It is not about my rightness but God's Righteousness. His Grace that is all too sufficient needing nothing from me. Will my pride allow me to be an expert witness?
Revelation 12:10-12 (NLT) Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, "It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night. And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little time."
There are two things needed to defeat the enemy in our life. The Blood of the Lamb shed by Jesus Christ and accepted by us. The word of our testimony or truth by which we live. These two things are the essentials to overcoming. The Blood of Jesus is for the remission of sin. Everyone sins. Everyday people sin and no one is exempt no matter how they act or good they pretend to be. God's mercy is new every morning because it is a daily requirement. The testimony of our life is displayed in our attitude and actions. Those who are confident in the Truth will live by it and through it each day. This is not to be confused with the Law which condemns but the Truth of God's Love and Salvation who is Jesus Christ. The Word became flesh. He came to live out God's Love for us and die to pay the bounty for our sin. Now we are free to live and love like Jesus without regard for the outcome. We know how it ends. We win. We overcome. Victory is in Jesus Christ. Or is it?
We are overcomers because Jesus Christ overcame the world. However, there is a very real enemy. He cannot threaten us because he has no power over us but he can spend "night and day" before the throne accusing us. Jesus is on the throne next to Father God so each venomous slanderous word is consumed by the Grace of God given to us by Christ who faithfully intercedes for us each day. The enemy cannot snatch us from God's Hand or harm us in any way. Christ lives in us and we live in the Presence of God. However, his constant attacks and thoughts on our mind can destroy confidence in Christ if our faith foundation is not solid. We must live to solidify our faith in Jesus Christ. We must cast down every thought contradictory to Christ. We must not join the accuser or cast more stones at God's People. This is not the kind of testimony that the Lord is referring to. I don't need you to tell me everything I do wrong. I know the heaviness of my sin as I lug it to the Cross each day. People need to know is the gravity of God's Grace and potential of His Great Love.
John 8:4-11 (NLT) "Teacher," they said to Jesus, "this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?" They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!" Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?" "No, Lord," she said. And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more."
Unfortunately, religion can sometimes skew one's perspective. The woman caught in the "act" of sin and thrust before her accusers was dead wrong. The Law was clear. Her sin demanded her life. Jesus is life. He stood over the woman interceding in the flesh as He does now in Heaven. Let the one without sin cast the first stone. I am an expert witness. My sin left me naked and afraid exposed to a life of disappointment, discouragement, defeat and ultimate death. But God! Jesus came to my rescue standing between me and my accuser. He wrapped me in a robe of righteousness. He has been compassionate, caring and concerned each day continually showering me in His Love, Grace and Mercy. Helping me up when I fall. Holding my hand so I do not stumbling. Whispering truth to silence the lie of the enemy in my life. Who am I to do anything less for others? To be a constant source of compassion and encouragement. To love them unconditionally. To drop all the stones labeled with my expectations of them to fully embrace the grace God has given me to share with others. This makes us an expert witness. Not our rightness but His Righteousness that covers our living breathing soul for redemption sake.
Hebrews 7:24-26 (NLT) But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven.
When Jesus was on trial, he did not defend himself. He went to the Cross completely innocent saying very few words – he endured the torture and horror of a brutal death…quietly. In Acts 24, Paul is brought before Felix by his accusers. He did not riot or raise a ruckus. He was brought to Felix because of lies and accusations that were not true. Paul shared the truth but did not argue or cry out for justice. He remained imprisoned instead. Jesus does not need you or I to defend Him. He doesn't need us to argue His Case. Jesus commanded us to love one another. It is not my role or position in life to point out other's sin or dissuade them from it. It is certainly not my job to tell them how to live. The testimony I have is simple – I once was lost but Jesus found me. He loves me. Now I am going to love you like Jesus does. Look in your hand – are there stones with people's names on them? If so, release them and ask God to fill your heart right now with overflowing love and overpowering grace for that person in Jesus Name.
I Peter 2:11-17 (NLT) Dear friends, I warn you as "temporary residents and foreigners" to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. For the Lord's sake, submit to all human authority—whether the king as head of state, or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right. It is God's will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. For you are free, yet you are God's slaves, so don't use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God, and respect the king.
Are you an accuser or affirmer? The expert witness offers love, grace, and encouragement based on our faith in God's Love for us. Envy, bitterness and accusations come from insecurity in our own heart concerning His Love for us. I can fill a bucket with water. However, I cannot share it with others if there is a hole in it. By the time, I get to them the water has run out. We do not live in competition for anything but as God's Children our inheritance including every blessing and promise is secured for us in Jesus Christ. His Sacrifice set me free to love without condition or consequence because His Love overpowers every other force. It brings fulfillment and contentment in me that results in overwhelming satisfaction allowing me to love other people without any expectation of reciprocation. It draws my attention from self to serving others. My life should not be controversial. It should relay the confidence I have in Jesus Christ, the Power of His Blood and Testimony of His Love lived out before others. I must be an expert witness. To do so requires more of Him and less of me.
I John 5:5-8 (NLT) And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. And Jesus Christ was revealed as God's Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross—not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony. So we have these three witnesses— the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and all three agree.
…When these three agree…it leaves no room for me.

This year has been one roller coaster ride for Ronda Rousey. After losing to Holly Holm at UFC 193, another shock awaits Rousey, but this time it is infact a good news.
Ronda Rousey has been awarded the WWE Slammy award on Monday following her appearance at WrestleMania 31 in April, which has been voted as 'This is Awesome Moment of the Year'. The votes are purely fan based.
Rousey made the appearance in the ring with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at WrestleMania 31 and the former UFC champion helped tackle WWE executives – Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
Ever since her appearance at WrestleMania 31, fans have been wanting to see more of her in a professional wrestling ring. In which, Ronda's appearance in the WWE had also helped her gain amass tons of publicity.
However, neither Rousey nor Johnson physically accepted the award. But since the award is based on fan votes – it looks like even after Rousey's defeat – she still has lots of fans worldwide rooting and supporting her.
Rousey has previously talked about making another WWE appearance possibly at WrestleMania 32 in Dallas next year but judging after her recent defeat to Holm, it looks like she will take some time off to make another appearance at a professional ring. Also, her commitments to shoot two movies while recuperating from injury will hardly allow her any free time.
Rousey infact plans to start her movie shoots by early next year. After which, she will then focus on her rematch with Holm.
UFC co-winner Lorenzo Fertitta hinted that the rematch between Rousey and Holm might happen at UFC 200 in July next year at MGM Properties' newly built arena in Las Vegas.
Either way, Rousey can heave a sigh of relief after finding that she has not yet lost her charm and persona even after losing her UFC 193 bout to Holly Holm.

If you think you may be suffering from sleep apnoea it is really important to visit your Doctor. They can discuss your concerns, give expert advice, and help you to find a treatment that works for you. The sleep apnoea questionnaire below is similar to one that a Doctor may ask you to fill in.
Making positive lifestyle changes can usually help to improve, or even cure, sleep apnoea. The lifestyle changes Doctors recommend for people suffering with sleep apnoea are things like:
- Reducing the amount of alcohol you drink, especially just before bed
- Cutting down on the number of cigarettes you smoke, or stopping smoking altogether
- Losing some weight
- Getting more exercise
The standard sleep apnoea treatment prescribed on the NHS is CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure). CPAP is a machine and attached mask (as pictured below) that works by increasing air pressure in your throat.
This helps to keep your airway open, stopping it from collapsing and helping you to breathe normally. CPAP is effective for most people, but studies show that up to 60% of patients stop using their CPAP machine. This is often because people find CPAP uncomfortable or difficult to get used to.
The good news is that there is an alternative to CPAP that can work for many people. Mouthpieces like the Snoreeze Oral Device were invented in the USA. In the 30 years since their invention, there have been many trials testing how well these mouthpieces treat sleep apnoea. There is now lots of clinical evidence proving Oral Devices work as well as CPAP for most people suffering from mild to moderate sleep apnoea. Many people prefer using Oral Devices as they are easy to use and don't have many side effects.
How does the Snoreeze Oral Device work?
When you stop breathing during your sleep, it can be really worrying. But the Snoreeze Oral Device can provide an effective solution to your problem.
Snoring treatments like Snoreeze Throat Spray and Oral Strips work for many snorers. They treat the tissues of your airway to reduce the vibrations that cause snoring. But for people with sleep apnoea, treating the tissue alone is not enough. The Snoreeze Oral Device can treat both loud snoring and sleep apnoea by working on the muscles of your airway. The Snoreeze Oral Device is an adjustable mouthpiece that gently holds your jaw forward, or stops it from falling backwards as you sleep, as shown in the diagram below.
This returns your airway to its intended shape, preventing it from narrowing or collapsing and at the same time increasing the size of the air space behind your tongue as shown in the diagram below.
This allows more air to freely pass to your lungs without interruption, so you can breathe easily and quietly while you sleep. This should improve your quality of sleep, so you wake up feeling refreshed and back to your normal self.
NOTE. Sleep apnoea is a medical condition that can have serious consequences if left untreated. Not all cases of sleep apnoea can be treated by CPAP or an Oral Device. You should consult a doctor if your symptoms persist. If CPAP has been prescribed by your Doctor, you should talk to them before switching to an Oral Device.

Rental leases serve as legally binding contracts. A lease agreement can involve apartments, short-term car rentals, car leases, or property such as recording equipment. You should read and understand all agreements. If you disagree with a section, then voice your concerns before signing the lease because it is difficult to void the lease afterward.
Basic Terms
Rental agreements contain common terminology. For example, a lease should specify pertinent parties such as the landlord and tenant. The agreement also should state the subject matter that forms the basis of the contract. For example, an apartment rental agreement should include the specific location of the apartment unit. Analyse the terms to understand when the agreement begins and ends as well as what penalties will arise if you terminate early. Other terms should include the payment, such as monthly or daily rental fee, plus any relevant deposit or down payment. Many times, agreements contain restrictions or limitations that cannot be waived. An apartment lease might not allow pets or animals unless the landlord provides written consent.
The state you live in may require certain clauses or phrases in a rental agreement that are not valid in another state. If you are drafting a rental agreement, check to make sure that you include essential phrases. For example, a California rental agreement should describe repairs for which the landlord is responsible. If a repair is the responsibility of the landlord, then the tenant must provide written notice identifying the needed repairs. Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1174.2, a tenant cannot avoid paying rent unless the landlord commits a substantial breach of warranty (regarding habitability).
After signing a lease agreement, an applicant might undergo a credit, background or reference check. For instance, landlords can deny prospective tenants and car rental companies can reject applicants after running credit checks. There are federal and state laws designed to protect applicants. An example is the Federal Fair Housing Acts, which governs tenant discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, and disability. If you have questions about an agreement, consult with a licensed attorney for clarification.

The condition of lawn mower blades has as much to do with the quality of the cut as the health of the lawn.
A dull blade will tear the grass rather than cut it clean. Torn grass is susceptible to fungus, diseases, insect infestation, as well as stressing the lawn.
Sharp blades are a necessity. This can be done yourself with a simple grinding stone. Or pay a local machine shop to do it for you.
Checking the balance of the blade is also very important. Unbalanced blades cause vibration and premature wear of your lawn mower. They will make your stripes look bad too.
Don't bother trying to straighten a badly bent blade or use a cracked blade. Just replace it. Blades are cheap and it isn't worth damaging your mower or lawn.
After market blades are cheaper and just as good as the manufacturers. We are talking strips of metal, not some high tech piece of equipment.
I'd recommend sharpening your blades after every 8 hours of use.

What is a Shareholder Reference Number (SRN)?
A Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) is used to identify your Issuer Sponsored Shares listed on Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). Issuer Sponsored Shares are maintained by the issuing company – usually through an appointed share registry (not through the CHESS system, which is the standard broker holding subregister system of the ASX).
You'll have a different SRN for each company you own shares in, and you'll need your SRN to sell those shares. Your SRN can be found on your shareholding statement or other communications from the share registry and will be pre-fixed with the character I.
To sell your Issuer Sponsored Shares, please call us on 0800 727 732 with your SRN and ASB Securities client number.
We will need to check that the names and addresses of both your CHESS account and shareholdings match to ensure your trades can go ahead. We can then load it before you start trading.

High Expectations
If my topics are becoming redundant, it's because people keep doing the same things, so I have to keep these thoughts in rotation....
Never be the woman who demands a man to think about her ⚠.
We tend to create expectations for people we barley know. We expect them to be considerate of our feelings. We expect them to reach out to us often. We expect them to make time for us. Why? What if this person does not want the same things or have the same plans? What do you want that is opposed to what he or she wants? What did you misinterpret?
Sometimes it's not the men, it's the women who have premeditated expectations or demands of him. (Yes, my sisters, we must take some blame for our heartache.)
Sometimes it's not the men, it's the women who have premeditated expectations or demands of him. (Yes, my sisters, we must take some blame for our heartache.)
The only expectation I have of a man is for him to be a man per his own definition. 🔀: Then it is my discretion to accept the man as he is because I refuse to invest time into changing someone who has his own thoughts and plans. ⛔: Unless you are already committed to one another and both identify that things need to change, the "We need to talk" can fall on deaf ears. ℹ : And the list that you want to discuss, go over, and revisit is probably last on his mind, he may entertain it but, it's not his focus. Especially, if he has many things going on in his life that doesn't require you.
Many incidences result to: She says they're dating but, he says they're just hanging out. She is more involved than he. Pay attention to your perspective in conjunction with his.
I have discussed with several friends about their experienced and I never just look at their side of the story. I consider the other the possibilities of their thoughts or feelings and my response is not always in favor of my friends.
You shouldn't have to ask "What are we?" (I've only ever asked that once. I was 18 then.) A man who knows what he wants or doesn't want will make it clear. And if things aren't transparent, he may still be figuring out parts of his life, you can chose to hang on or you can continue your life unaffected. And if you can subdue your 'crazy' then you can do both.
The only time I had certain expectations of a man was when it was clear that we were in a relationship and had plans to grow together. And friends who knew me through this part of my life knew I went through the hell and high water! 📉😤

SN: I am not ashamed to say that many of my pictures are filtered, background blurred, blemishes faded, color adjusted, etc. So when people give me compliments, many times, my instant response is, "Thank you but, I don't wake up like this." Social media has allowed us to live under tainted glass. Every now and then, I like to show photos without my 'mask' and usually on the weekends I do leave the house au naturale.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - A Michigan Court of Appeals judge ordered the City of Grand Rapids to release five phone recordings between police officers who investigated a wrong-way crash involving a former Kent County Prosecutor. Released Wednesday, the calls reveal an attempted police cover-up.
The crash happened Nov. 19, 2016: former Kent County Assistant Prosecutor Josh Kuiper allegedly drove the wrong way down a one-way in Grand Rapids intoxicated. Officer Adam Ickes, who responded to the crash, and former Sgt. Thomas Warwick and Lt. Matthew Janiskee spoke to each other discussing how to cover-up their crash report using a city phone line '3407' they believed was not recorded. The officers initially let Kuiper go, even though he was apparently intoxicated and injured another man getting into his vehicle during the crash.
"The whole incident is appalling," said Grand Rapids Police Chief David Rahinsky Wednesday, immediately after the tapes were released.
"It undercuts our credibility in the community. It discredits what we've worked so hard to create, which is trust and transparency. It doesn't represent the hard work of the men and women in this department."
Phone calls and radio traffic from the night of the crash were already released. In the calls, Janiskee tells Ickes to call 3407. Police say that line is usually used for sensitive information, like the names of victims. However, officials now say the line has been recorded for years and is still in use. Wednesday the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled on the lawsuit MLive filed against the city, ordering the recordings MLive initially requested via the Freedom of Information Act be released.
In the five phone call recordings, the three officers are heard laughing at points about the situation, and then discussing how much and what paperwork would need to be done for the incident. The attempted cover-up plan went further when former Lt. Janiskee said he texted his wife, who works at the Kent County Prosecutor's Office. He told Sgt. Warwick that night:
"I said that [Kuiper] was involved in an accident, going the wrong way, he got a ticket and 'had been drinking' was checked on the box, here's the report number. So that's basically how it's going to look when she reads it. She'll ask me about it and I'll just give her a look like, 'uh huh.'"
When Sgt. Warwick asked if Lt. Janiskee's wife would dig for footage on this incident, the Lt. responded: "No. 'Cause I'll f---ing tell her not to."
"That's extremely troubling," said Chief Rahinksy, in response to the officers speaking about involving a prosecutor.
"That portion of the conversation I'm afraid is going to solidify any conception that someone may have that the system is rigged against some, and rigged in favor of others."
Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker also tells FOX 17 he has not listened to the tapes and did not know about the incident until about 18 hours after the wrong-way crash. He added that he, Monica Janiskee, who is married to former Lt. Janiskee, and former Kent County Prosecutor Bill Forsyth "did not advise, consult, or recommend any course of action to the Grand Rapids Police Department when they were dealing with former Assistant Prosecutor Josh Kuiper."
He added Monica Janiskee never responded to her husband's text the night of the Nov. 2016 incident.
You can listen to the five calls below, and read their transcripts here: Call 1, Call 2, Call 3, Call 4, and Call 5.
Note: there is some strong language in the calls.
Call 1 audio - Ickes to Janiskee and Warwick
Call 2 audio - Ickes to Janiskee
Call 3 audio - Warwick to Janiskee
Call 4 audio - Warwick to Janiskee
Call 5 audio - Warwick to Janiskee and Ickes
Rahinsky also said as soon as he heard these tapes, he and city officials immediately suspended the involved officers; contacted the City Attorney; asked State Police to investigate; then presented this to the Kalamazoo Prosecutor, who later declined criminal charges against the officers.
Janiskee was fired from the department and is suing the Grand Rapids Police for privacy issues regarding the tapes in U.S. District Court in Kalamazoo, claiming he was illegally recorded. Warwick was demoted and suspended for 160 hours. Ickes was also suspended for 160 hours.

There's has been a lot of talk in the industry in the last couple years about document capture being accessed as a service. So, what exactly does that mean? Basically, it's the ability to execute on-demand capture. In one popular emple, this involves being able to invoke processes like automated data extraction in the middle of a workflow process.
"Traditionally, document capture systems are deployed at the front of a document-centric workflow, "explained Ike Kavas, founder and CTO of innovative capture ISV Ephesoft. "A document enters a capture platform, it is classified, meta data is extracted, and then a workflow is kicked off.
"However, as we go to market, we are seeing companies that have workflows, related to document management or some line of business, who want features like content-based classification, data extraction, and PDF conversion, in the middle of their processes. For example, a contract arrives in the middle of an ongoing project and the customer needs meta data extracted from it."

He has been there for me and my sister by choice for years before marrying my mom.
He was there through my surprise pregnancy, abusive marriage and subsequent divorce. He was there while I learned how to parent a premature baby, and walked me down the aisle at my second wedding. To be completely honest, I wish he'd been the one to give me away at my first wedding.
I have seen him work tirelessly to care for his dying mother, all while still supporting my mother through a difficult career change. He constantly validates and supports his children's passions, and revels in his grandchildren. He loves his family deeply.
But last week his heart betrayed him.
Dave is the last man I would ever expect of having a heart attack. He is extremely health concious and exercizes daily. But Wednesday of this last week, he was in surgery, having a quadrupile bypass.
He is slated to recover, and is in good spirits. But the thought of losing him has scared all of us.
I've been focused on so much, work, school, parenting, and writing. But now he needs me.
I've been taking care of the house and animals while he's been in the hospital so my mom doesn't have to leave his side. I've been gathering estimates from repairmen since their back fence fell down in this past weeks storm.
The man who has given so much for us needs us more than ever now.
This will be my last post for this competition. I wish you all the best, and ask that Gary accept my sacrfice.
Love to you all.
Every sound freezes me in place, frantic for for a place to hide. I've never been outside at 2am before. It's dark and cold. My back pack weighs me down when I jump behind a bush to avoid being seen by a cop. I don't want to go back. I've just turned 14 and the fingerprint bruises are still fresh on my skin where my father's hands have been.
I told him I was afraid of him after he hit me. His anger exploded, a geyser of searing insults. If one of his students had said that about their father he would have to report it to the authorities. How dare I say it to him.
I snuck out the window that night to run to my mother's house, crying when I left my sister and brother behind.
Another cop car comes by and I rethink my plan of running. How would his anger affect them if I was not there to bear the brunt of it? How would my grandmother react to finding me gone in the morning, the window of her bathroom left ajar?
I turn back.
The window sill cuts my palm open as I climb back in to the house, the red blood damning evidence on the white metal. Another wound that I stay silent about for two more years.
I can't catch my breath. The blood is pounding in my ears, my husband's face towering above me. His body leans toward mine, blocking the exit to the house. My hands are shaking holding my suitcase.
I tell him I am afraid of him. I want a divorce. In response he backs me into the bedroom.
He takes my suitcase away. He takes my clothing away. He takes my voice away.
He does not take my fear away.
Afterward, he lies sleeping. I dress, gather my belongings, and leave.
I kept the mantra repeating in my brain, ignoring my hands shaking on the wheel as I drove to work.
You can do this, he's just a blow hard. If you didn't make him angry you would be just fine.
Two years of near constant abuse from my boss had turned my daily commute into a nightmare. Every inch closer to the parking lot made me more nauseated. I swallowed hard as my skin prickled with cold sweat and kept driving.
"You're incompetent and useless." His voice began to interrupt my thoughts. "Get the fuck out. What is wrong with you. Are you special needs?"
I began to panic, his voice crashing in my mind like an endless ocean. "You're worthless, you're terrible, you're -"
I felt the crunch of my tires on the gravel and the tilt of the car as I broke free of the panic, just in time to see the telephone pole and ditch I had been aiming my car towards.
I immediately corrected my car's trajectory and pulled over to the shoulder.
I sat in silence for a moment before bursting into tears.
I had purposely aimed for the pole.
I called my doctor for an emergency appointment, called in sick and never went back.
"I will, Grandmama, I have to go now, but I'll see you soon. Love you!"
I don't want to hear these words right now. Seeing my grandmother in this nursing home bed is too much, too painful. I kiss her forehead, all too aware of the contusion on her brow, and the pain in her arm from a recent surgery. The guilt hits me immediately when I leave. I could spare a few more minutes, no one would mind if I was a few minutes late, but I don't go back.
A few days later I get a call from my mom, who has my daughter overnight. My grandmother has been in the ER 3 times in the last 24 hours. My mom is going in to advocate for her admittance rather than this back and forth from ER to Rehab Facility. I ask if I should come, but I am assured that its ok. Grandmama will be going home on Tuesday, nothing to worry about.
24 hours can change so much.
My husband is driving us home when my mom calls again. "Grandmama is going home tomorrow, it will be harder for you to visit when she is an hour away again, could you stop by the hospital to wish her well?" I can tell that something is wrong.
Logan speeds all the way there.
The family has gathered in the fifteen minutes it took me to get to the hospital. I open the door with my customary "Hey pretty lady-" and thats as far as I get before the tears come. My grandmother stares vacantly at the door, face slack and unmoving. Her breathing is shallow and punctuated with little sighs. I swallow my shock and go to hug her, to hold her hand, to tell her I love her.
My daughter walks into the room behinds me, and for a moment, my grandmother is back, a smile completely changing her face. But still no words. My mom whispers to me that she will be going home with a hospice nurse tomorrow. I nod my understanding, and turn away with a lump in my throat.
This isn't a get well visit, this is a goodbye visit.
That night, I toss and turn. I can't shake the grief, and the feeling that something else is coming. I finally sleep, mildly comforted by the knowledge that tomorrow my grandmother will go home as she has asked to do so many times.
I'm beginning to dread phone calls.
My cell begins to buzz insistently at work. My mother again. Grandmama is not going home. The doctors say she will not survive the trip, I start to cry while she speaks. I can hear my step-father in the background, telling his mother that it is ok to go, that she doesn't have to hang on. I tell my mother I am on my way. Thank goddess for my wonderful, understanding boss.
I make the hour and a half drive in fourty-five minutes.
I hold my grandmother's hand, listening to her struggle for breath. It is difficult to listen to the gasping. Each exhale is punctuated by a gurgling rattle. My mother tells me that the last time Grandmama had any response to anyone, was her smile for my daughter.
My tears drip on to the paper thin hands in mine, and think of all the things my grandmother has done in her life.
Rasing her sister's children
Becoming a Nurse
Coming to America
Losing her husband
Raising two children alone
Volunteering at the place I now work
And so much more...
Her breathing slows, and she slips away.
"Life is too short, Mija, focus on the now." I can hear her words echoing in the beat of my heart, and in every moment that I hold her hand.
This entry dedicated to my grandmother Elsa. I love you always
But then I had a little surprise my junior year and so I dropped out.
Then I decided that I would get married. 7 years and hundreds of pounds of heartache later, I was a single mom. Forever turned out to be more like for now, just until someone better comes along.
I resolved that it would just be me and my child. Us against the world. My anger burned bright, singeing those closest to me.
But fires burn out. And sometimes the answers you look for are on a different path.
Fourteen years later, I still wander the labyrinth of life. Nursing school is on the horizon, and my little surprise is in Middle School. My new husband's business is growing and I am working in a job that I love.
All things discovered far from my declared path.
I found my happiness, by getting lost along the way.
- Current Mood: happy
The migraine behind my right eye has not yet blossomed into full strength, but the steady rythym of my pulse echoes in throbbing bursts, clouding my vision with each heartbeat. I don't have long before I lose sight in that eye. I switch the phone to the other shoulder and begin to dig through my purse, hoping to find the pain meds before it's too late.
"I don't see why you can't just agree with me on this. You're such an inflexible bitch." My ex husband's voice rises to a screech as I shakily thumb the cap off the prescription bottle, and grab my water bottle.
Yes, I am the inflexible bitch. The one who adjusts timing of visitation when he's got a booty call, or when his parents telephone to add another few days to their already month long with my daughter. I bend to their whims and smile while doing it, knowing that arguing makes Kendall anxious and upset. I refuse to put her in the middle like I was when I was a child.
I straigten up, swallowing the pill down as my vision greys.
"I'm not going to have the layer revise it again. I do not need to tell you when I leave the city with her, I do not need to tell you when we go camping, my time is my time, and the activities that happen during it, are not to be dictated by you." I know this is retaliation for taking Kendall to a pagan family campout one county over last weekend. Enough bullying is enough.
"Well I want to pick her up Friday then."
My eyesight tunnels down until only the vision in my left eye remains.
"That's fine, you just have to sign the paperwork and it will go into effect immediately."
"Fuck you and fuck this. I should just take you back to court." I hear him slam down something that sounds suspiciously like a beer bottle on the other end of the line. "I'll sign the fucking papers. Just mail them to me."
"Will do."
I hang up the phone, and cross the call off my to-do list.
I sit in the quiet dark, documenting his slurred curses into an ever growing notebook of incidents. Last time it was telling Kendall he curses at her because she makes him angry. She had panic attacks for a week about it.
I can't do much but continue to document every call, every email, every tear he makes her cry.
Hopefully someday it will be enough to end her visitation, but until then I'll keep crossing every "t" and dotting every "i".
The vines and bushes I'd planted to keep my garden safe became unruly; thorns and brambles would prick and pierce the skin of those trying to enter to nurture the tender young plants beyond their green grasp. I'd let them grow tall, strong and unyielding, feeding them on paranoia and guilt.
I was safe from anyone trying to get in, but I'd trapped myself inside. The jungle that enclosed me grew and grew until it choked out the light and my garden and I began to die.
It was a slow realization. At first I enjoyed the refreshing shade and security the garden walls had provided me. I could tend to the roses that bloomed in vibrant colors in safety. I didn't notice the colors beginning to darken and fade as the sun was hidden. I didn't see the seeds I planted withering as they were starved for light. I did not know, until it was black and I was alone.
I ran to the thicket of wild branches, tugging at them bare handed, trying to break free, to feel warmth on my skin again. I succeeded only in bloodying my hands, and so I lay down and wept.
And wept.
And wept.
My husband, confident and jovial, offered me a ladder so I could climb over the verdant wall. But I could not see beyond the vines, so I refused, afraid to leave the garden.
My mother, strong and graceful, offered me gloves and pruning shears in order to clip my way free of my imprisonment. But the walls seemed so vast; I didn't know where to start.
My child, gentle and calm, lay down opposite the wall and whispered to me words of love and compassion, her voice finding small holes in the defenses I'd grown. She reached her hand to mine through a gap and grasped my hand, passing me a small lit candle to combat the growing darkness.
And in the light of her small candle, I found the handle of an axe.
I hefted it, feeling its sturdy weight in my hand and began to work, chopping my way through years of guilt surrounding abuse, rape, and more, until I'd cut a mighty hole in the brambles, and could feel the sun on my face, and my roses had the first hints of color again.
I have plenty more work to do to chop the rest of these walls down, but I'm ready to feed the garden again.
Here I go Again!
I have a hard time saying no. I hate confrontation, and am terrified of hurting people's feelings or alienating them. This is particularly difficult when said person occupies a position of authority. And right now that's the only thing keeping me in my coven.
I started studying Wicca and paganism when I was 14 years old. I hid the books from my uber catholic mother by stashing them between the mattress and the box spring of my bed. I devoured these books and practiced in secret, all the while still attending Mass on Sunday and singing in the choir.
I left the church when I was 21, and began working at a small pagan bookstore. I loved my time there, but still felt that something was missing. The sense of community.
As a solitary pagan, I felt isolated and miserable. So I went back to the church, and found myself hating it. This cycle would repeat itself several more times until a little over a year ago, when I finally found a coven to join.
The leader of our coven is a very charismatic man. Logan met him once, and refuses to come to another ritual where he is present. Logan warned me that my teacher is skeevy, and probably teaches so he can sleep with his students. I laughed it off. I couldn't see it happening. But I started hearing the stories of him cheating on his wife with members of the tradition, with students, his wife's fragility, his so called power. Everyone within the tradition seems to have heard of the rumors and yet, people dismissed the allegations idly.
Then one of my fellow dedicants started sleeping with him behind her husband's back. He called it initiating her into the inner circle of the coven, an exclusive group that would practice more serious and deeper energy work. I was also invited into the circle, but refused. I began to realize the truth of what Logan had said.
Lately it feels like things are falling apart. My friend seems like she's lost herself, like she's afraid to leave. She talks about how strong his energy is and how quick his temper flares. I ask her if she wants out, if she needs help. But she says those oh so dangerous words, "I love him." I still offer to help. His wife seems broken, gone. I can see pictures on the walls when we have classes of how pretty and vibrant she was at one time, but she seems an empty shell now. I try to talk to the other coven members, but they act as if nothing is wrong, after all, he sits on the Elder's Council, surely they would know if something was wrong.
I've started to distance myself, only to be met with hostility and my dedication to my religion questioned. I want to leave, but I am afraid to speak out. I don't want to rock the boat. I don't want the confrontation. But people are being hurt, people I care about. More and more girls have joined our coven and dedicated themselves to this tradition since my own dedication a year ago, and I have to wonder if anyone will do anything to stop it before one of them is the next object of his attention. It seems that no one else has the will to stand up to him, including the council.
So if I don't say something, who will?

Michele Hauf, Beautiful Creatures, paranormal, romance, demons, witches, werewolves, familiars, soul bringers, vampires
Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything
I been meaning to read this book for a while now, but never got it until now. Overall I really enjoyed this book, I liked that it is a bit darker than most YA book. It is very compelling and keeps you clued to the book from page one. The world and building was very well written, both the present and the flashback episodes that occur in the book. Though, sometime it was a bit confusing going back and forth at least the first few chapters. I enjoyed both Ethan and Lena characters, that were well build and rather likeable. I liked how the friendship formed and how that he stuck up for her and being there for her when no one else was. There were lots of twists in the story, which I enjoyed a lot. But also on the other hand there was a lot going on in this book and sometimes even a bit too much. But yet not overwhelming. Overall, I really liked the book and looking forward to getting to the next book. I rate it 4★
Some of my favorite quotes
"I'm just the librarian. I can only give you the books. I can't give you the answers."
"What is the opposite of two? A lonely me and a lonely you."
"Are you insinuatin' that my daughter is a liar?" "Oh, no, not at all. I'm saying your daughter is a liar. Surely you can appreciate the difference.
Available NOW
Retriever Bron Everhart had no idea that his easy "find and seize" mission would be complicated by his need to protect Kizzy Lewis who has just became a target for any other who desires the purgatory heart in this exciting paranormal romance. The Beautiful Creatures world always fascinates for me because Michele Hauf has her own creative flair that she imbues into her characters and the stories are full of intriguing creatures that I can't get enough of. Bron and Kizzy's story is quite different with some disturbing events that really adds a bit of a dramatic bent to the story that I sure didn't see coming but it's what the story calls far so it's all good.
See my full review at:
I don't know what your next favorite YA series may be, but it stands to reason that it could be written by a woman. I'm not saying that it will be, but the "Big 3" of YA are all written by women (and are featured in this post). We definitely can't be ruled out or sidelined anymore in this area. That being said, there are some great series out there, here are some contenders:
That I've read:
Heard good things about:
Problematic - this is a blog about feminism in books, so while these are huge, they do present some problems in this department that need addressing
Twilight - Stephanie Meyer - it's been said, at length, that this series presents problems in the abusive relationship department. The main love interest is controlling and that is definitely a problem. What makes the problem worse is the HUGE following that came after this series that made everyone sound like they want to be in an abusive relationship such as this. No hitting takes places, but there is a lot of controlling behaviors that no one should tolerate. I get that Edward wasn't a bad guy, but he was a bad boyfriend. Bella wasn't exactly a role model either. At the same time she wasn't much worse than Matt Donovan in the next series I'm going to talk about. It's hard to be the only human among supernaturals, I'm sure, but she never once got to make a decision that he didn't have to approve and she was always usurped when he didn't approve.
The Vampire Diaries - LJ Smith - just skip the books and binge watch the CW series on Netflix. The show is one of my favorites and cleans up a lot of the problems in the books. Elena is very similar to Bella in her passionate love for her love interest. It made me gag a lot. Her friends are easily duped into doing whatever vapid thing she is interested in. Okay, so that sounds harsh and I'm not trying to shame the characters. The problem is that they were hollow characters. What should have been intersections in their problems never seemed to bother them, so we mostly gloss over the fact that Elena is an orphan in the books. The show makes up for this by allowing her to be melancholy and react to this life-changing event as if her life has changed. I've said before that maybe it's my own problem for having watched the show first. The characters in the show have depth and complexity. No one is a perpetual damsel in distress or rescuer. Even the villains are layered. These books features lots of characters and it would be great if they didn't fit so well into those old, worn stereotypes. Also, the show may still be on television, but the books are from the 1990's. I don't remember if these stereotypes had quite hit trope level, but it's just a pass. Don't even bother, not in this day and age. You'll just be disappointed.

By Soraya El Kahlaoui (collaborator of The Monde Afrique, Casablanca), February 2, 2015
"I have known the most of the people who have contributed to spreading our cause through Facebook." The man has just come down from Alebban Mount, where he lives at 1500 meters above sea level. For over three years, Brahim Udawd, 32 years old, lives in a permanent camp. With other villagers persists in depriving access to water to SMI mining company, with which they came in conflict on July 2011. Brahim Udawd, like the others, has left his Imider's village and since then all his life is dedicated to activism. "A bit of fun and a lot of work", he melts a smile describing his daily life.
The beginning of Imider people's struggle against SMI broke out in July 2011. They were mainly the women of the village who have expressed their anger. They had no more water from the tap because of the excessive exploitation by the mine. In addition, the university students had not found a summer job, as usual, in the mine. Over time, the struggle has taken on a global dimension. "Today we are fighting for the life – insists Brahim – If our land is polluted, if our air is polluted, if we have no more water, if the mine robs us of all our resources, what will be left for the future generations?".
Boycotting strategies and civil disobedience
For Brahim Udawd, the Movement on the Road '96 upset his daily life. Today, his existence revolves around the struggle against the mining company. Boicotting strategies, civil disobedience, organization of village assemblies, these are the only words that he has by now in his mouth. For him it's impossible to return to a normal life until the situation in Imider will not be resolved.
Not without pride, tells how the militants of Nantes' "defensive zone" came to meet them to discuss struggles strategies. Amused, he accurately describes each of the techniques implemented by Zad to destabilize the police. "We must constantly renew the way we fight" he repeats incessantly. Moreover, in three and a half years, the movement has come a long way.
Today, the camp on top of Alebban Mount is solidly built. Each villager holds the sit-in in front of his small house, composed of a square room where you can often see drawings and quotes by Bertold Brecht. Also the women have their homes and they participate to keep the new village of the disobedients. In the future, even the hope to be able to install panels for solar energy.
Contribute to local development
Brahim Udawd insists on the a-political nature and the independence of the Movement. "Our only concern is to solve the Imider social problems" he says, and that's why they made a "diagnosis" of the seven villages of the Imider Municipality. "We identify the problems and we propose the alternatives, he says. For example, we suggested to group together the educational facilities and to establish a system of transport between the villages to remedy the lack of infrastructure. The old schools can also be turned into asylums".
For him, the mining company has the duty to contribute to the development of the local rural community, as compensation for its management. "One day the mine will go away, of the rest have already invested in many other countries in Africa, and nothing will remain to us. The SMI has to support the local development and ensure activities that may constitute an income" he says firmly. One thing is clear to these angry people: Imider has no reason to be the poorest Municipality in the region, while it is the richest in resources.

BOYNTON BEACH -- The madness that has surrounded the Tradewinds project for 18 months continued Thursday evening as city commissioners voted 3-2 saying, in effect, that their court settlement with the developer violated the city`s comprehensive land-use plan.
Attorney Sandra Sprague, representing Tradewinds Development Corp. president Michael Morton, noted after the 70-minute hearing that the city and the developer are locked into a binding court settlement signed by Circuit Court Judge Vaughn Rudnick.
That order, Sprague said, requires the city to amend its comprehensive plan and approve the zoning for Woolbright Place, a 115-acre development planned for a site on Woolbright Road west of Interstate 95.
Thursday`s session was a continuation of Tuesday`s commission meeting. At Tuesday`s meeting Commissioner Ralph Marchese, just appointed to replace Commissioner Bob Ferrell, indicated he might be opposed to the Tradewinds project.
Vice Mayor Carl Zimmerman made a motion to rescind the court settlement. But attorney Kirk Friedland, hired to guide them through the murky legal hodgepodge surrounding Tradewinds, was not at the meeting. Without his legal guidance, commissioners continued the meeting.
On Thursday, Friedland told them a motion to rescind was inappropriate. A motion to reconsider could be made only by someone on the prevailing side of the vote. Commissioners Dee Zibelli and Ezell Hester declined. They still support the project.
``It`s in court now. Let`s let it take its course,`` Hester said.
Both actions to launch the process of reversing the court-ordered settlement were effectively stymied.
Some homeowners in Leisureville and Lake Boynton Estates, who are seeking to reopen the court case by filing as intervenors in the original case, submitted a legal document to the commission.
A hearing on the residents` request to intervene and have the settlement dismissed, scheduled for Thursday, was postponed.
The document, a formality required before someone can sue a government body, asked commissioners whether they believe their action settling with Tradewinds violates the city`s comprehensive land-use plan.

Like every other day, I woke up in the morning. A couple of days ago, that is what I thought would happen. Unfortunately, 2 crazy girls Frida and her friend N.
Did curiosity bite you in the butt and made you wonder who is this N person? Don't worry, you are not the only one. I'm sure I'd be curious too, if I did not already know who it is. Lets just say it is an absolutely mind-blowing girl who asked me not to publish her name on the blog (By now, I'm sure you have this inner urge to stalk her. That applies only to caligynephiles). Using that word just made me feel good.
Since they convinced me to do an all night psychiatry revision, I did not sleep last night, If only I'd have realised that psychiatry can be really boring and disgusting when you read at 3 ~ 6 AM, I'd have went to sleep like every other day. By the time I realised what I've got myself into, I was well past the time where I could have had some sleep.
Different types of persistent irrational ideas, e.g.,
Irrational burdensome operation with thoughts, symbols, words or numbers
Irrational painful thoughts about possibility of dangerous or antisocial actions.
False belief, based on incorrect inference about external reality, that is firmly held despite objective and obvious contradictory proof or evidence and despite the fact that other members of the culture do not share the belief and cannot be corrected by reasoning.
(unspecific productive symptom of different psychoses)
False or unreasonable belief or idea that is sustained beyond the bounds of reason and of great personal value (may not be absolutely false but inadequately significant). It is held with less intensity or duration than a delusion but is usually associated with mental illness.
(productive disorder of subpsychotic level, typical for paranoid disorder of personality)
The subjective experience of one's thoughts occurring rapidly, each though being associated with a wider range of consequent ideas than normal and with inability to remain on one idea for any length of time (distracted and chaotic speech). Occurs in manic episodes, sometimes referred as pressure of thought
Slow thinking with poor associations, patient answers in one word and fails to understand complex sentences (Symptom of depression or clouding of consciousness)
A thought disorder where the irrelevant details and digressions overwhelm the direction of the verbal representation of the thought process. Eventually the goal of the thought is reached. It is characterised by over inclusion of details and remarks. It can be a symptom of mania, epileptic personality changes, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
