Refreshing Prayer and Praise
First, "Praise God for Who He is and what He has done." "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Your name" (vs. 9). I feel I can praise Jesus best by reviewing all He has done for me in previous months and years. This always keeps me encouraged as I thank Him for all the many answers to prayer I've received, but I especially need to thank Him for precise things He has done for me. I can think of so many! I'm thankful for a loving husband and family, good friends, a wonderful church/church family, a warm and cozy home, food on the table, clothes on my back, good medical providers who help me by caring about my health and well being, a beautiful area in which to live that encompasses ocean, desert, forests and mountains - all nearby or within driving distance. Obviously, I'm most thankful for salvation and the joy that freedom in Christ brings. My list goes on and on, as I'm sure yours would, too.
I like to think about recent answers to prayer that the Lord has provided. I love to thank Him for the answers to small but important requests that come quickly. Our laptop wasn't working last night, so I prayed that the Lord would give us wisdom in discovering what the problem was and how to correct it. He did and it was a very simple solution! Yes, we could have taken our computer to the local Geek Squad, but I always believe in going to God first for our every need. And aren't we often surprised when the answers come so quickly? It's at times like these that I love to praise and thank Him for being right on time!
Have you ever praised God by some of the many names He's known as in His Word? I like Jehovah-Rapha, "God our Healer." Another favorite: Jehovah-Jireh, "God our Provider." He is the Anointed One, The Ancient of Days, The Bread of Life and the Bright and Morning Star, among other glorious descriptions.
Next time I'll be focusing on the second line of the Lord's Prayer, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done..." Please join me in thinking of new ways to thank and honor our King. Let's fill our homes with prayer and praise in 2012!
A pretty tea pot from a friend. The inscription reads: "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him." Psalm 37:7. The tea pot is from the DaySpring collection.

(third-person singular simple present screws the pooch, present participle screwing the pooch, simple past and past participle screwed the pooch)
- (idiomatic) to screw up; to fail in dramatic and ignominious fashion
1950s, from earlier fuck the dog ("fritter, waste time") (1935) (compare fuck around), later sense of "make an embarrassing mistake" (compare screw up, fuck up). Popularized by use by Tom Wolfe in The Right Stuff (1979), and film adaptation The Right Stuff (1983).
The term was first documented in the early "Mercury" days of the US space program. It came there from a Yale graduate named John Rawlings who helped design the astronauts' space suits. The phrase is actually a bastardization of an earlier, more vulgar and direct term which was slang for doing something very much the wrong way, as in "you are fucking the dog!" At Yale a friend of Rawlings', the radio DJ Jack May (a.k.a. "Candied Yam Jackson") amended this term to "screwing the pooch" which was simultaneously less vulgar and more pleasing to the ear.
The term, however, did not enter the popular lexicon until Tom Wolfe used it in his book about the space program, The Right Stuff, where it was used to describe a supposed mistake by astronaut Gus Grissom.

New York detective Nick Conklin is down on his luck and under investigation by Internal Affairs. He and his friend Charlie witness a brutal murder at the meeting between Mafia and Yakuza chieftains. After arresting a suspect named Sato, they are assigned to escort him to Osaka, where they promptly hand him over to his fellow gangsters, disguised as cops. Determined to pursue the escaped suspect, Nick and Charlie besiege the Osaka police for help. They are grudgingly granted observer status--no guns--and a minder: assistant detective Masahiro Matsumoto. Meanwhile, escaped suspect Sato has plans to bypass the traditional Yakuza hierarchy and go straight to the top, unless the New Yorkers can convince the Japanese to help them stop him.

You can try the IS at http://gamerz.cybercour.se/. Go there now. Open it in a new browser window, side-by-side with the window you're looking at now. Makes it easier to talk about.
You can hide the blocks on the right of this screen by clicking the – (minus) that's near the top of the blocks on the right:
Also, try shrinking this window, and the exhibition system window. They can get quite narrow.
Opened the other window? Good. Let's get going.
Business entities and content types
Check out the Projects page. You see a list of…, well, projects. (The data is fake Latin text.)
A project is a business entity. That is, something an organization wants to track. Banks track entities like customers, and accounts. Manufacturers track entities like customers, and machine tools.
Drupal calls entities content types. A content type is something the information system (IS) tracks.
Project is a content type, and each particular project called a node. Nodes are also called records, and instances. Instance, node, record… all mean the same thing.
You can think of a content type as a set, and nodes as members of the set.
Here's the Projects page again:
It shows the same information about each project:
- Name
- Homepage
- Description
These are fields. Fields are characteristics of a content type.
Don't worry, that's the last of the new words:
- Content type is a type of thing, like Book.
- Node is one thing of a type, like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
- Field is a characteristic of all the things, like Author.
Different content types have different fields. Car has Make, Model, Year, etc. Computer has CPU type, Memory, Screen size, etc. Different fields, except that…
Every node of every content type has a title field.That's the only field a content type must have. The rest of the fields depend on the content type. A content type for dogs might have the fields breed, age, and weight, as well as title. A content type for university courses might have fields for course number, description, and number of credit hours, as well as title. Whatever the business wants to track, plus title.
A page for each node
Check out the Projects page again.
Click on one of the project names. You'll see a page for the project.
The theme is just a skin over the data.
Another example: sloths
Another example?
Say we want to store data about sloths. The content type is Sloth. Here's the sitch:
It's kind of like we have a spreadsheet for sloths. Each row is a node, data about one sloth. Each column is a field, data about a characteristic of sloths. Then Drupal makes a Web page for each node.
Only kind of like a spreadsheet. There are things that content types can do that spreadsheets can't. More later.
How to let users look at the sloth data? We make a list of all the sloth nodes:
The names are links. Click on one, and see the page for a sloth node:
That's a common design pattern. Show a list of nodes. Click on the name of a node to see its page.
BTW, what we've been calling a "list of nodes" is called a view in Drupalspeak. Let's use that term from now on.
OK, I lied earlier. There are four new words in this lesson:
- Content type is a type of thing, like Book.
- Node is one thing of a type, like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
- Field is a characteristic of all the things, like Author.
- View is a list of nodes.
Privacy detour
Back to Gamerz. Click on the Members tab in the main menu. Members is another content type. Notice the same pattern as before. A view of members.
Click on the name of a member, and…
Wait! We can't click on the name, and see the page for the node! What gives?
Business people think about the data, not the Web page
More slothiness. (I want to be a sloth in another life. Or Snorlax.)
Say a user wants to add another sloth. Here's the form they fill in:
Say they enter this data:
The user doesn't have to think about the Web page for Amethyst, or her place on the list of sloths. The user just thinks about the data. The name of the sloth, and her attributes.
That's what you want. Whether the content type is for customers, products, employees, whatever, the user thinks about the business, and lets Drupal do the tech stuff.
Based on the data the user entered about Amethyst, Drupal will create this page:
Drupal will add Amethyst to the list:
Drupal handles the details of storing and showing the data. The user thinks about sloths, not any tech stuff.
This is the difference between an enterprise-level system like Drupal, and make-an-easy-Web-site software. With make-an-easy-Web-site software, someone would have to manually change each list when anything happens. Ack! That's a lot of manual work.
Make-an-easy-Web-site software is fine for brochure sites. But when you want to build real business IS, it's not cost effective.
(If you were logged in as a student, you could submit an exercise solution, and get some feedback.)
A content type is something the IS tracks, like projects, members, customers, accounts, and machine tools. You can think of a content type as a set, and nodes as members of the set.
Fields are characteristics of a content type. Every node of every content type has a title field. But that's the only field a content type must have.
A common design pattern is to show a list of nodes. Click on the name of a node to see its page. The list is a view in Drupalspeak.

Wench! The Drinking Man's Thinking Game
Wench… a fast-paced card game of rules to remember and penalties to avoid!
The table hushes for just a moment while your opponents slide their cards into their hands. You've gripped a nice hand for going out fast, a hand flush with a single suit… Schoolgirl, Carpenter, and Unicorn! You're also charged with making sure no one puts their elbow on the table, a common and nasty habit. You look over and the opponent to your left is already in violation. Impulsively you call their name, and then realize… they might be the Rock Star. You've played before, a veteran of this ever-changing game, and you know if you don't applaud when you penalize them, you'll be penalized instead! "Nevermind," you say. Perhaps it is best to bide your time and see how the game develops… and then drop "Da Bomb!" Suddenly you're interrupted by the first turn of the game… an opponent saw you looking at that elbow, and they're playing the Fisher… a card you know will ruin all of your best-laid plans.
The game of Wench is played by 4-8 players, more if you're a little crazy! Its 52 cards are brilliantly splashed with original art by artist Monte Michael Moore, known for his work in Playboy, for LucasArts, and Wizards of the Coast. Cutting edge game developers at Myndzei add game play that is easy to learn, difficult to master, and impossible to dominate. Because the game is well-balanced and a little random, it turns out differently every time, and anyone can win!
When played with penalties such as losing a jelly bean to the pot, a sip of your favorite tasty beverage, or just about anything you can imagine, Wench becomes a game of calculated defense on the way to an empty hand. Once you've emptied your hand, the player with the most points in their hand is the Wench, and has to pay a new penalty all players agreed on at the beginning of the game. They might have to drink milk standing on their head, or sing a nursery rhyme while doing a jig. Whatever will teach them their lesson, and that's part of what makes the next game of Wench that much more interesting.
You know the basics, now get in the game. Then when that girl who catches your eye winks at you, you can confidently say yes when she says, "Come play with me."

As an executive, you make countless decisions on a daily basis. Of all the decisions you make, however, one hold the greatest potential to impact your company's success: assigning the right people to management roles.
According to the 2013 Gallup State of the American Workplace report, "When you name the wrong person manager, nothing fixes that bad decision. Not compensation, not benefits — nothing."
Why does the choice of manager hold so much weight — especially in today's workplace? One reason is that American companies are facing a serious problem: employee disengagement. Because first-line managers have the most day-to-day contact with employees, they have the most power to influence employee engagement.
Employee disengagement: turn that train around
The 2013 Gallup report says that only 30% of the U.S. workforce is engaged in their work. On the flip side, that leaves a rather astounding 70% disengaged and, therefore, "not reaching their full potential." Disengagement can cost companies — both in productivity and in profits.
That's the bad news.
The good news: Great bosses cultivate a workplace environment that breeds employee engagement — and can do so rather quickly. "Choosing the right managers in an organization has an immediate effect on employees' engagement," according to Gallup.
Even better: Effective leadership skills can be learned. Through executive coaching and leadership development programs, managers can discover powerful strategies to increase employee engagement. They can also learn to become more accountable for their team's attitude and performance.
The following are a few examples of strategies that managers can use to cultivate an engaged workplace:
Focus on strengths — People like to feel good about their abilities and contributions to an organization. Managers who focus on their employees' strengths can practically eliminate active disengagement, according to Gallup's research.
Find ways to connect — Another crucial ingredient in the recipe for employee engagement is personal connection. It's important that managers find ways to connect with each employee, respecting employer-employee boundaries, but recognizing team members as "real" people.
Appreciate differences — Effective managers understand that age, gender, tenure and other variables all play a vital role in shaping a team member's experience, and that every interaction with an employee has the potential to influence his or her level of engagement.
Naming the wrong person to a management role can trigger a downward spiral of disengaged, unmotivated and nonproductive employees.
In many instances, it can send an employee straight to the exit door. Employees often leave their jobs because of their manager, not because they are unhappy with the job itself. This dynamic underscores the importance of hiring the right candidate for — or promoting the most qualified team member to — a management position.
The problem is, Gallup finds, raw management talent is rare.
Focusing on fit more than on experience tends to yield better results. Not everyone is a right match for your company or organization, nor is everyone cut out to be a manager. As a matter of fact, a 2014 Gallup study revealed that one in ten people possess the talent to be a great manager.
Zappos' CEO, Tony Hsieh, understands the power of connection, and encourages managers to get to know employees on a personal level. In an interview published on Entrepreneur's website, Hsieh said that while many companies have policies that prohibit socializing outside of work, Zappos encourages managers to grab a drink with employees because "… in a lot of ways, that's where you develop personal connections."
He also believes in empowering individuality among Zappos' employees. "A lot of people [act] different on the weekends versus the office. It's like they leave a big part of themselves at home. We encourage our employees to be themselves. We want them to be the same person at home and the office."
When people bring their "best selves" to work, and are recognized for their unique contributions to a company's culture, mission and bottom line, it's an almost surefire formula for a win-win success story.
The impact of a highly engaged manager
ANN INC., parent company of well-known women's fashion retailers Ann Taylor and Loft, set out to determine whether choosing managers with the right talent for the role or with high engagement in their job had a greater impact on store performance. The analysis confirmed that talent matters most, but engagement accelerates it.
"Finding people with the right talent and engaging them are essential elements of maximizing performance — but of the two, getting the right person in the right role makes the greatest difference … The study found that engaging less-talented workers doesn't get the same results as engaging more-talented workers."
"While we did not anticipate that engaging managers with low talent would lead to exceptional performance, we did expect it to lead to better performance. Instead, we found that store performance dropped by 5.9% for managers with low talent and high engagement compared with managers with low talent and low engagement. In other words, without the innate talent to be a great manager, engagement did not result in better performance. For ANN INC., talent was the critical ingredient."
"The good news for ANN INC. is that once the talent to be a great manager is in place, engaging that high talent accelerates exceptional performance. The study confirmed that managers with the combination of high talent and high engagement outperformed those with low talent and low engagement by 23.5%."
Four key areas of employee engagement
While the majority of American companies struggle to "get it right," Gallup's best clients — winners of its 2013 Gallup Great Workplace Award — deeply integrate employee engagement into four key areas:
1. Strategy and Leadership Philosophy: "The best leaders understand that there is an emotional undercurrent to everything they do, which affects how they conduct business every day. They take a strategic, top-down approach to engaging leadership teams and then cascade engagement through the ranks of managers to employees on the front lines."
2. Accountability and Performance: "Highly engaged organizations hold managers accountable — not just for their team's engagement, but also for how it relates to their team's overall performance."
3. Communication and Knowledge Management: "Leaders in the best organizations take a strategic approach to aligning their employee engagement communication efforts … They use every opportunity, touchpoint and available communication channel to reinforce the organization's commitment to employee engagement."
4. Development and Ongoing Learning Opportunities: "The world's top-performing organizations start engaging employees from the minute they show up on the first day … They take leaders' and managers' development seriously, and focus on the development of individuals and teams."
Highly engaged organizations do not happen by accident, Gallup emphasizes. "… It takes proper execution, hard work and perseverance to master the integration of each of these critical four components."
It also requires naming the right people to management roles.
Today's non-traditional work environment now extends beyond the confines of an office building. According to a recent Forbes article, one-fifth of Americans now telecommute, with the number expected to increase by 63 percent in the next five years. While this variation from the traditional office arrangement offers many unique benefits — to employees and employers alike — it also poses unique challenges, particularly when it comes to employee engagement.
Citrix, parent company of GoToMeeting.com, suggests that managers take a few simple actions to ensure productivity and mitigate remote employees' feelings of exclusion or isolation:
- Host virtual meetings to keep remote workers involved
- Stay connected via phone calls or, even better, online chat tools
- Schedule office visits, whether at regularly scheduled meetings, annual office parties and/or training sessions
Our take
Through all your years of business school, the importance of selecting the right people for management roles was likely never given the emphasis it deserves. The good news is that it's never too late to invoke positive change in your leadership team.
People generally start a new job with a sense of optimism. But if they don't feel that they have any real power to make decisions, contribute ideas or make an impact, they tend to quickly become disengaged.
Managers should provide employees with opportunities to contribute directly to the organization — and to be recognized for it. The most effective companies empower employees at all levels to make decisions and take action. Zappos is a great example of a thriving company that embraces employee engagement.
Executive coaching can help turn mediocre managers into strong, effective leaders. In gaining deeper insights into factors that motivate their team members, managers can learn how to cultivate an environment that encourages employee commitment, promotes a positive collective attitude and, ultimately, contributes to their company's long-term success.

And so here I am about to embark on a great journey. A great journey of love, opportunities, abundance, and service. How did I get here? What decisions did I make to bring me here? Well I can say that it's been a process. A process of mine for the past few months now, but much of it has been coming to a head only quite recently, with all the best still yet to come.
I wanted change this year. I asked for change this year. In fact, I thought I would scream and tear my hair out if all remained the same. I begged for change.
And so the floodgates opened…
I have to say that this universe truly obeys our command, and showers us with exactly what we ask for, and then some. When you make up your mind to do something, those universal gears start creaking, shrieking, and turning just to make it happen. Put it out there, and "Your wish is my command", it replies.
So here I am in a new apartment, a new town, a new job, a new living situation (two of my sons have flown the nest), and facing new opportunities. It's a brand new world, a whole new reality. So much I left behind. How did I get here?
The month of June brought many changes (or should I say challenges). They say change is good, but so much change all at once can make you lose your footing. You sometimes forget who you are, but I suppose this makes it easier to become someone else, someone new. After all you may change your location, you may change your job, you may change what you wear, you may change what you eat, you may even change how you look, but if you haven't changed your inner being have you really changed anything at all?
And so here I am now working towards my biggest hurdle, my biggest challenge in 2013- a change in identity.
As if the decision to go from a full time job to part time wasn't challenging enough. I have taken a major pay cut and wonder how I will manage to keep my head above water.
As if the decision to work in Manhattan vs. my years of sheltered suburban commuting wasn't hard enough. My time here in New Jersey has truly turned me into mush.
As if being dumped by someone who I thought was the man of my dreams (What little we know 😉 ) wasn't heart-wrenching enough. Was it something I said? Something stuck in my teeth? Perhaps my portfolio wasn't up to par?
As if the apartment search wasn't trying enough. Couldn't find the right apartment, in the right neighborhood, for the right price, for the life of me. And suddenly the clouds did part and the perfect place just fell right into my lap.
As if saying goodbye to two sons who would no longer live with me wasn't sad enough. Though it's great to be responsible for two less individuals. 😀
As if the crash of my PC wasn't devastating enough. All my files were lost and then some. But it gave me the perfect excuse to buy an iMac, so I can learn new skills and now do so much more with graphics, music, and movies. Yippee!
As if the move wasn't grueling enough. I packed an entire 2-bedroom apartment by myself and then restored it back to its original condition (or forfeit my security deposit). And later the unpacking and reorganization of personal belongings began and so on and so forth…
But what is all that? Is it all nothing compared to what I am about to face? A dear friend of mine has contacted me and presented me with an opportunity I could not refuse. But here's the catch- for me to excel in this marvelous opportunity I have to change my ways. I have to change my total being. I have to change who I am and how I see myself. I have to do a complete overhaul, renovation, or a total rebooting of my system to where I operate under a new OS. This is the call of the hour.
All the changes last month have prepared me for this grand endeavor. After all I'm still standing aren't I?
Then this too shall pass and this new individual shall emerge. No doubts whatsoever.

The use of word processing can greatly improve your overall productivity. Even if you don't use a computer, most typewriters now have some form of word processing built in. And although there are great differences between word processing typewriters and word processing software for computers, almost all allow you to create documents—edit and format these documents—and print them. Other features include spelling checkers, style and grammar checkers, mail-merge features, and the ability to store documents electronically.
The most common word processors found in businesses are microcomputers equipped with word processing software. When the word processing program is run by the computer, the computer becomes an intelligent typewriter with the ability to create, edit, format, and store documents.

I am looking forward to 7 November 2010, cos that's when my senior, Elson Soh 苏奕铨, will be releasing his full album! He's in the midst of recording songs right now and I know that his album will be a great success. Why? (other than his vocal prowess) Simply because of the following few reasons:
Reason 1:
All his songs are all self-composed, and the melody coupled with lyrics from 黑夜老师. Perfect combination.
Reason 2:
He can play quite a number of musical instruments! The piano, the guitar, drums, er-hu, violin and even the cello!
Reason 3:
他有一双会电人的眼睛. Lols, I am serious. And I am not the only one who has mentioned this before too. Okay to put it in another way, he has eyes that talk.
I admire his passion towards making good music, and then sharing it with everyone around him. And I truly appreciate it whenever he shares music-related stuff with me and helps me with my guitar/piano when I have any queries.
Here's a picture with him during his birthday celebration @ Swee Lee Cafe this year.
And recently we just did a video for OMY to celebrate their 3rd birthday.
He's serious when it comes to making music but there are times when he combines that with the "fun" element as well, using his sense of humour. The video below is one good example.
Hilariously good, ain't it!
Anticipating 7 November 2010.
Are you?

Meet Tyler Johnson
- By Brian Thompson
I had the chance to interview Tyler Johnson of One Glance Ministries and Dead Raising Team Ministries. Tyler is in the upcoming film DEADRAISER that was released October 2014. We got to learn about Tyler and his wife Christine's adventure from starting their ministry to where it is today. Tyler and Christine were on staff at Healing the Nw ministries before moving to Texas for three years and have now returned to the Pacific Northwest. Both Tyler and Christine are ordained Minsiters through Healing The NW Ministries.
HTNW: How did One Glance and DRT (Dead Raising Teams) come about?
Tyler Johnson: "DRT was started because some of us had been praying for the dead and one of our team members had a success. Bill Johnson from Bethel Church heard about it and did a podcast called "Eat the meat, spit out the bones" and in the beginning of the podcast Bill tells the testimony of the successful resurrection from our team. After that people began contacting us to come and pray for deceased people and hence DRT was born.
One Glance ministry was started because we needed a name for speaking engagements and a website. With the encouragement of Marc & Lydia Buchheit, they helped by sharing speaking engagements and getting us more exposure. The name One Glance comes from a verse in the Songs of Solomon that states "With one glance of our eyes we ravished his heart". We wanted our ministry to be about connecting with the Lord and intimacy with God. We felt Tyler Johnson Ministries didn't make the statement we wanted and I think it sounds stupid.. haha"
HTNW: What were some of the challenges you faced getting started?
TJ: "The biggest struggle we faced was how to make ends meet. Christine and I didn't know exactly how that was going to happen but we knew we were called to do this. So we just started and did it, I was working little jobs and there were times that things were really tight but inevitably it worked out. God has always been faithful to come through with finances. Its just wild, its crazy what he does. I love it when people do ministry and work a full time job. For me I knew I specifically wasn't supposed to do that and just trusted the Lord with the outcome of that. That seems to be the biggest hurdle for people and when we try to have it all figured out before we take the leap is when we get stuck. Instead we just leap especially if Gods telling you to and he'll catch you. "
HTNW: Did you have all the answers when you started?
TJ: " No… haha. And I still don't"
HTNW: What were some of the challenges from starting with DRT and getting to the DEADRAISER film released October 2014?
TJ: "The Dead raising teams lead to the DEADRAISER film. Johnny Clark the one making the film had heard that we were doing dead raising trainings. He heard that we were actually trainings and not just preaching about God raising the dead but we were actually wanting other people to get lit up by the gospel and go after it for themselves as well. The other things that kind of drew Johnny's attention to me is that I had written a book called "How To Raise The Dead" and he respected that because it wasn't just someone professing beliefs but someone actually doing something about it. Having written a book and training people how to do it instead of just sitting on my butt. So thats part of what lead him to ask me to be apart of the Deadraiser film.
I would say that the biggest challenges whether it be with DRT or the movie or anything is being sure to stay encouraged in the Lord. When you're encouraged in the Lord your not worried about being famous or successful. When you're not encouraged in the Lord you will probably get really really depressed and become visionless and wonder what the heck you're doing with your life. If I had any advice for someone wanting to start a forerunner ministry or even something not as front lines would be to stay encouraged in the Lord. For us many many times I have questioned everything and wanted to give up on everything. When I would get to the end of my rope the Lord would clearly show me he hadn't released me from that and I am always so glad that he would remind me of those things because when things are going good they are going really good. Theres a lot of challenges in ministry but in the end its such a blessing and honor to be apart of. I think just staying encouraged in the Lord just like David did. As well as being brutally honest with the Lord where you're hearts at. Because He is safe and He can handle it. He wants to encourage people right where they are at, but unless you can be honest with how you feel especially with the Lord you won't have that placed be touched. Things like recalling when people got healed, testimonies and things like that are really important. Having a good Journal to write things down when a miracle happens and then being able to look back on it is absolutely pivotal. You won't make it without the power of testimony. Testimony is a form of prophecy, it just has the spirit of encouragement and spirit of Jesus all over it. Another thing I would do is that when someone would give me a prophetic word I would write it down on a card and I don't mean every flaky little prophetic word but the ones that you feel juice on and the ones that are mysterious on cards and when I have gone through a really hard time I pull those out even if I don't want to and read through them. If you you really take the time to read them and hear what those things have to say you will be encouraged. Surround yourself with like minded people. I don't mean people that always agree with you but people that know your heart and want to strengthen you and believe in the message that God has given you and are behind you. I don't give like the typically "you gotta pray more" stuff because I think all those things I mentioned can be a form of prayer. Even spending time with people can be a form of prayer because you can get prophetic words from people without them even trying. I've had homeless people speak from the voice of the Lord for me. I don't think its as cut and dry as saying pray. Just really opening your heart to the Lord and being really raw with him and letting him through scripture and prophetic words and the testimonies encourage you."
HTNW: What would you like to say to other ministers that may being feeling that tug from God to go into their own ministry?
TJ: "Do what you want to do not what you think you need to do. If you're feeling a call from the Lord it should give you joy to think about it, it shouldn't be burdensome. If thats how you feel then what are you doing waiting around. I just think that a lot of the church, that people are motivated by duty and we're not contributing to the church or the world when we do things out of duty. I started the Dead Raising Teams because I knew what it was like to lose a loved one. I saw the absolute nothingness of revelation in the church towards life and death. It made me want to go out there and speak the truth about that stuff. When I teach and preach and pray for people its a joy. When stuff starts to not be a joy, its not that its alway fun but when the underlying Joy has left me then thats when I need to quit that ministry. I wish more ministers did that, that more ministers would quit the ministry because then we wouldn't have some many people motivated to make their next paycheck, but we would have people out there wanting to touch and heal a broken world. So I would say if someone is really feeling a call from the Lord then they will want to take that leap if they are just wanting to do something because thats what spiritual people do they probably aren't going to do a darn thing .. haha. Thats because its not real, so I check myself quite often to make sure its real. I don't care what it is whether its roasting coffee or tasting wine. I don't care what it is, whatever it is you love to do, do it and heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons you know what I mean? You can do those things anywhere it doesn't have to be a formal setting of ministry in a pulpit or anything."
HTNW: What piece of advice that you wish someone had given to you when you started?
TJ: " My one piece of advice that I wish I had is do not care what people that are critics of your life say about you. You will never ever make everyone happy. There will always be someone nagging and complaining even if you're doing something that is non controversial they will always be someone that has a problem. So don't care what people think that are critics. Anyone that ever changed the world caught grief. Its the one characteristic that of someone that changed the world. It doesn't matter if it was Luther, Steve Jobs or Mother Theresa. They all had enemies. Major enemies and they had to learn how to not care. I think there is a healthy aspect when you're free from the fear of man. It's not that you don't care or that you are careless. Its that you have healthy boundaries and you know you're calling from the Lord and nothing will stop you from that. We need more people like that. I've seen it many times when someone has a legitimate call and Religion shuts it down over and over again. I used to think that was leaderships fault but we can't blame our failure to continue on the mission on the people who aren't on board with us, you know what I mean? But this world is in dire need of people that would rather see people healed and saved rather than please their pastor. The church is so bound up by fear that its time that we just go for it. I'm telling you that right now there is a company of people that are rising up that would rather please God than man. "
HTNW: Some Notable Moments in Your Ministry
TJ: " Hmm… I don't want this to come across as arrogant or anything but there really is too many to list. Every miracle is unbelievable encouraging. But then theres little things as well that take you by surprise home much they impact you. I remember one time I went to the Healing Rooms (shelton) and I was on the verge of completely giving up. Because in my line of ministry people are shooting bullets at you all the time and it can get to ya for sure. I remember Rhonda had just started coming to the healing rooms. Rhonda and her daughter Naleena just started telling me how much the book i wrote "How to raise the dead" impacted them and that they would never be the same again. I remember earlier that day I was saying to myself that I would never write another book again because I was just so defeated. I heard the Lord speak to me when she was talking and he said" This is why you can't stop writing". It was huge and it was so well timed. I told her how much it meant to me but I don't think she had any idea. I felt like it kept me from giving up that day. Even thinking about it makes me tear up.
Some notable moments would be: Obviously every encounter with God was unbelievably encouraging. I've had Angels show up in the healing & prayer rooms in shelton ( Healing The NW healing rooms) When I got saved I had an encounter with Jesus. I've also seen things like the spirit of revelation come into the room and physically take the form of a baby. There was also a time when I was caught up to heaven and danced with Jesus in the streets of gold and all those things without those there wouldn't be any ministry. It all goes back to that intimacy with Jesus."

QRC celebrates first Graduation
New Zealand's newest Tourism and Hospitality Management educator has just graduated its first class of students.
Queenstown Resort College opened its doors in March 2006 offering the Swiss-based Diploma of Hospitality Management in association with the International College of Management, Sydney (ICMS) and César Ritz Colleges, Switzerland.
The first class of Hospitality Management students arrived on the QRC campus in April 2006 to begin their internationally-recognised qualification.
They have now become the College's first Graduates.
College CEO, Emeritus Associate Jan Fitz-Gerald says the students are 'pioneers'.
"These students took a risk and came to QRC when the College had only just opened because they believed in us. Now it is up to them to set the scene for future QRC graduates".
César Ritz Colleges President, Martin Kisseleff attended as the Guest of Honour and also gave the Graduation Address, where he spoke about hospitality being a 'craft'.
"We cannot standardize all aspects of service delivery, since customers are individuals, this means that we need to train professionals who understand how to identify customers preferences, intercultural communication, teamwork, respect and tolerance. And not to forget we need to train entrepreneurs, who understand well the business principals and produce sustainable profits to be able to make further investments. Queenstown competes with top resorts in Europe, Asia and the Americas - to compete, one needs to benchmark and gain experience within the competitive environment".
Only in the second full year of operation, the College is proud to have had full intakes in January and April this year, with good numbers already enrolled for the year's two remaining intakes; July and October.

Ink | Top Shows: Lukas Nelson, Bottle Rockets, Girl Talk
The best tracks on Willie Nelson's new "Heroes" album are the duets with son Lukas. The striking pairing reveals that Lukas' voice is even more pinched and forlorn than his famous father's. Lukas' previous performances in this area have indicated that he offers worthwhile variations on his dad's music. "Wasted," the latest album with Lukas and his band Promise of the Real, is loaded with roots-rock songs that echo familiar themes, including social justice and the celebration of marijuana. Yet his formidable talent as a vocalist and as a guitar slinger won't leave fans pining for Willie on Wednesday at Knuckleheads.

Snowdon Mountain Railway
Visit the highest mountain in the UK outside of Scotland and take in the glorious pure air and stunning scenery – no climbing required as Britain's only rack-and-pinion railway does the hard work for you and takes you all the way up the mountain!
Snowdon History
Snowdon has long been the scene of human exploitation, for minerals and tourism and this has not been without cost to the landscape. The summit has been home to two hotels and a visitor centre with cafe that have had some of the worst reviews possible. Happily, with their demolition and the building of a brand new visitor centre the summit is once again a place to savour and enjoy.
Snowdon Mountain Railway
The uncoupled engine pushes the carriage up the mountain giving its passengers more and more astonishing views. Snaefell on the Isle of Man and Ireland's Wicklow Mountains are two of many highlights of this fabulous emerging panorama. The summit station is the highest in Britain and at 1065m its just a short walk from the summit.
It's All Downhill
Having breathed in the glorious air, explored the Visitor Centre and admired the spectacular scenery once more it's time to make your way down the mountain. The Llanberis Path is the recommended route down for families and has no real steep inclines – there's a cafe at the half way point to so you can all stop for refreshments!
Flora and Fauna
Snowdon Mountain offers the chance to examine a great deal of wildlife, from the pretty little yellow four-petalled Tormentil to Sundew in the wetter areas. In the summer you can see Wheatears, notable from their white bottoms and tiny little wrens flying about!
Highlight of the Day
Reaching the summit and looking out across all the world!

New Delhi: There were some adjustment problems for sure but that did not prove to be a deterrent for India`s first blade runner Retd Major Devender Pal Singh who completed the Airtel Delhi-Half Marathon on Saturday with a personal best timing of 2:45.00.
"There will never be an ideal situation for anything, whether it be sports, race or life. You have to cater for some sort of adjustment," said Singh.
"It definitely put a lot of challenge, but once you are in the sports field, there is no excuse," Singh said.
Interestingly, the phenomenon of `Blade Runner` became popular with South African quarter-miler Oscar Pistorius, who is known as "the fastest man on no legs".
Pistorious became a household name after qualifying for the World Championship finals of 400 metres earlier this year.
Singh, whose blade was funded by the Indian Army, surpassed his previous best timing of 3:15.00 clocked at the Mumbai Half-Marathon last year by half-an-hour.
For Singh, who came back from the brink of death during the Kargil war, the inspiration, however, comes from the life itself.
"Life itself is a challenge. When I was informed about amputation of my leg, not even for a single moment did I feel disheartened. I took it as an immediate challenge," revealed Singh.
The retired Major from the Dogra regiment lost his right leg during the Kargil war in 1999. He suffered 90 per cent disability as per the Army service conditions.
Singh is looking forward to run a full marathon and represent India in the Paralympics.
"I am looking forward to compete in the full-marathon. It will be an honour for me if I can represent my country in the Paralympics," said the armyman, but insisted that he was running for a cause.
Singh, who has Facebook community named `The Challenging Ones`, said "I am taking it as a cause. I wanted a platform where we can reach out to the challenged ones, as you call them, and motivate each other. I want to attract more and more people towards sports and adventure."
Singh revealed that his intention behind the run was to prove it to himself before inspiring the others.
"I wanted to prove that to myself. It is your mindset which shapes your vision. Your mind should control your body and not the vice-versa," Singh, who now works for a private bank, insisted.
