Oxfam attends Haiti government meeting to begin clarifying sexual misconduct allegations
Oxfam International Regional Director for Latin America, Simon Ticehurst, and Oxfam Intermon Executive Affiliate Unit head, Margalida Massot, met this afternoon on the request of Haiti's Minister of Planning and External Cooperation Aviol Fleurant to begin clarifying the exact allegations and investigations into the abusive behaviors of some Oxfam staff during the organization's humanitarian response to the 2010 earthquake.

Statement on Haiti including response to allegations that Oxfam staff used sex workers in Chad in 2006
Let us be clear: their behavior was and still is totally unacceptable – an appalling mark against the high values we set for ourselves at Oxfam.
Statement responding to allegations in today's Times that Oxfam failed to warn other NGOs not to re-employ those guilty of sexual misconduct in Haiti
We are appalled that individuals found guilty of sexual misconduct in Haiti were unwittingly employed by other aid agencies. We strongly believe that anyone engaged in such reprehensible behavior should be barred from working with vulnerable communities.

Oxfam's priority is to stand fully by the survivors of such reprehensible behavior - and to ensure that such behavior is absolutely rooted out of our organization. We stand firmly against the exploitation and abuse of women and girls.

Raymond James recruited a Wells Fargo advisor managing $115 million in assets, according to the firm.
Advisor Robert Clayson generated $800,000 in annual revenue while at Wells. He and senior registered client service associate Carolyne Wabuyele joined the Wellesley Hills, Mass., office of Raymond James & Associates, the traditional employee broker-dealer arm of Raymond James. Wellesley Hills is a suburb of Boston.
Clayson is a 43-year veteran of the financial services industry, and worked at Bear Stearns and Morgan Stanley, according to FINRA records. He joined Wachovia in 2004 and stayed through the firm's merger with Wells Fargo.
The announcement came a day after Raymond James named a former Merrill executive, Andy Waldbaum, as branch manager of its Beverly Hills, Calif., office, which opened earlier this year.

This week I started noticing a large-scale phishing attack against enom user accounts.
Emails are being randomly sent to common (e.g. sales@, info@, admin@ etc), dictionary and to randomly-gener ated addresses, and so will be received by a lot of people without ENOM accounts, including YNot Web customers. The mails are very well-written and look very legitimate. The first one I received left me scratching my head as I thought "but I have NO enom accounts." I'd mostly expect some confusion and some slight panic as the messages are warning of downtimes as well as "complaints" against you for inaccurate whois information.
The emails seen so far use subjects like the below (click for full letters that we have gathered):
- Inaccurate whois information.
- Warning: Inaccurate whois information.
- Your domain must be deleted today
The "from" addresses are randomly selected and may include:
- email@example.com
- email@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
The emails sent vary from merely mentioning maintenance and including an account login link, to enticing clicks by saying that your domain has been suspended unless you login and verify data. Links will take you to a non-enom site such as enom.comsys52.net which will store a person's logon details for later exploitation.
If you receive such a message, DELETE it. If you happen to be an ENOM user and have clicked on a link in one of these messages and entered account details(even if you weren't sure if you were an ENOM user and you entered ANY account information) , you have unwittingly compromised your accounts. Immediately change your login information to your ENOM account and contact ENOM to inform them that you have been the victim of a phishing attack.

We will showcase wines from regions with special soils, which show character and sense of place. The Mosel (Germany) is based on slate, Burgundy (France) is on limestone but Chablis (France) is more on chalk. Rioja Alta (Spain) yields amasing wines on alluvial and calcareous clay, Beltiug shows reddish clay spots, Tokaj (Hungary) is volcanic and Naoussa's (Greece) vines root in sandy clay.
You will find out more on the world's greatest grape varities that have been enjoyed for centuries and caused appreciation and charm among both wine connoisseurs and the uninitiated.
Wine-in-Business, the host of the event, will award its students who achieved outstanding results at the institute's Wine and Spirits courses in 2016.

It's not for me in far-away Australia to accuse Tiger Woods of telling porkies. Perhaps he's become a little forgetful as he prepares to play in the US Masters on April 8, but I couldn't help noticing when he claimed in a recent one-off tv interview that no-one in his inner circle knew about his liaisons with a string of women.
'I'm sure if more people would have known in my inner circle they would've stopped it. Or tried to put a stop to it, but I kept it all to myself,' the golfer told Kelly Tilghman of The Golf Channel.
Well, here we go again. Following my two earlier blogs suggesting that the Tiger Woods story was destined to run and run, rumours are now spreading like wildfire that the world's number one golfer and his lovely wife Elin Nordegren were involved in an argument shortly before he crashed his SUV at 2.25am.
As has already been reported, the National Enquirer is running a story claiming that Woods has been having an affair with New York socialite Rachel Uchitel, who was photographed checking into the same Melbourne hotel that he was staying at while he was playing in the Australian Masters earlier this month.
Only Tiger and his wife would be able to tell us whether the Enquirer story was behind his reason for driving from their Florida mansion in the early hours of the morning. But it is certainly curious to find such a high profile personality leaving his marital home at 2.25am and then crashing into a fire hydrant and a tree.
It must also be wondered why Elin reportedly dashed out of the house with a golf club in order to smash the back window of the vehicle to provide assistance.
When police arrived they found Tiger lying in the street with his wife beside him. According to reports, they have since told police they had been having a domestic disagreement before the crash.
He's back home now, having been treated in hospital for facial injuries.
Tiger's spokesperson has reportedly confirmed he met Rachel Uchitel in the past but denied they were having an affair.
So the story continues to run and run…
A baby girl who faced a slow, painful death as her brain MELTED, is on the road to recovery after an astonishing world-first experiment.
'Baby Z's' brain had begun to dissolve shortly after she was born 18 months ago because she had too much toxic sulphite in her system – an extremely rare condition for which there was no known cure.
Her prospects of survival were hopeless, but her parents and doctors in Melbourne refused to stand by helplessly and watch her fade away as the poison in her body ate her brain away.
Doctors and the little girl's parents – who cannot be named for privacy reasons – began searching the world for any kind of drug or treatment that might give the baby even the slightest chance of survival.
They learned of a drug that had been successfully tested on mice in Germany back in 2004, but it had never been tried on humans because there were many ethical hurdles to overcome.
What followed was a determined and courageous effort by the parents and doctors on opposite sides of the world to give Baby Z a chance of life by treating her with the drug.
With the baby's fate sealed if nothing was done, everyone contacted agreed she had to be subjected to what is now being described as 'the biggest long shot in medical history'.
The incredible answer to the brave experiment came in the words of Baby Z's mother, who told the Herald Sun in Melbourne that her little girl was now 'absolutely delightful and as stubborn as anything..she has just started saying a few words and is constantly moving around.'
She added: 'I refused to accept she would die. The procedure was a tiny bit of hope, but when you have nothing, that is a lot of hope.'
And pioneering neo-natologist Dr Alex Veldman, recalling one amazing day in his career, told how after within one month of receiving the special drug Baby Z just 'woke up'.
'It was really like awakening – it was just bang and she was switched on,' he said.
The amazing case which has given hope to other parents with children born with the brain-dissolving condition known as molybdenum cofactor deficiency, which poisons the brain and kills within months of birth, emerges from days of sadness shortly after Baby Z was born.
Her toxic sulphite levels were nearly 30 times higher than normal and were literally dissolving her brain. Doctors shook their heads – there was nothing they could do to stop the deadly process that had begun in her tiny body.
But they were not going to give up and three weeks after searching for answers biochemist Dr Rob Gianello found a research paper by German plant biologist Professor Gunther Schwarz, describing the experimental drug he had used on mice and saved them.
In Melbourne Dr Veldman began the process that would lead to Baby Z receiving the drug, speaking in detail to Professor Schwarz and appealing to the ethics committee at Melbourne's Monash Children's Hospital.
Next came an approach to the Office of the Public Advocate, who in turn called on special medical procedure powers to convince the Family Court to allow the unique treatment to proceed. Within an hour of the court's approval, Baby Z was given the drug.
Astonished doctors watched as, within hours of receiving her first daily dose of the drug, Baby Z's sulphite levels dropped from nearly 300 to below 100. And within three days the levels were 'normal' at around 10.
Baby Z had suffered some brain damage in the weeks it took to find a cure, but her parents say she is now improving.
Her recovery has given hope to other parents and researchers are now planning human trials with a view to making it available to all babies suffering from the same brain-melting condition.

Coffee Break at High Altitudes
Although it is not really in our focus – afte all, we look a little bit higher, at least up to the Moon -, we have always fancied the notion to get a high altitude balloon experiment launched. Well, on the 54th anniversary of Gagarin's Flight, we fulfilled this dream.
We were approached in March by Uniomedia, a Budapest based PR agency, working for Nescafé Hungary, with the question, whether we could help them to bring a Nesacafé mug with a little coffee shrug within close to space.
This looked quite interesting. After all, as we learned quickly, the Apollo 11 crew drank Nescafé on the Moon - http://www.nestle.hu/media/hirek/nescaf%C3%89-75-%C3%A9ves (this reference is for Hungarian tongues only; if You have some english sources, we are happy to hear from it!), so we said immediately "Yes, we can!" and put together everything within a week or so to be flight ready at 10 AM CET, on a hill close to Budapest.
To the skies!
Our first ever high altitude balloon launch was then a complete succes; all systems worked fine – the wind inclusive :-) -, and we perfomed a practically flawless high altitude flight, up to an estimated 36,000 meters, with stunning images.
We even found undoubtedly signs of animal life after landing on a wet planet.
Enjoy the flight!
And here is a short Werkfilm, too:

How deep does the fear of the Clinton machine infect the Democrat Party?
Pretty deep, if this New York Times item is representative. That, or perhaps it's an April Fool's gag, given the April 1 print publication date.
We asked three of the smartest Democratic strategists we know to imagine this situation: You are running the campaign of a liberal Democrat against Mrs. Clinton. You have $50 million to spend. What is your message? How do you run against her?
The piece may also highlight something of a problem for any journalist covering Hillary in 2016. If she's going to stroll to the Democrat nomination, just how candid can anyone be in exposing her flaws if they know they are going to be stuck relying on her campaign as a source over the long haul?
While it may be true that there's room to challenge Hillary from the populist Left and she may be vulnerable in a primary due to her hawkish foreign policy and problems connecting with voters – nowhere in the piece is there any mention of deleted emails, foreign governments donating to the now almost infamous Clinton Foundation, or any of the baggage husband Bill may being to a national campaign.
The argument that this scenario is for a Democrat primary so those issues don't apply doesn't add up. That would assume Democrats don't actually want to win the White House in 2016. In reality, it's because of all the bad press Hillary is getting that some critics are even pondering a possible primary challenge. Ignoring her significant vulnerabilities in a piece that purports to lay out a plan to defeat her without factoring in her weaknesses in a general election is a kid gloves approach to what might have been a serious exercise.

AUSTIN, Texas --Texas state officials say a four-alarm fire has caused "catastrophic" damage to the Texas Governor's Mansion in Austin. Governor's spokesman Robert Black says said no one was inside the 150-year-old home when the fire began shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday. He says the cause is not yet known.
The mansion had been undergoing a $10 million renovation and Gov. Rick Perry and his wife had moved out last fall.
Black says the damage to the mansion "is extraordinary, bordering on catastrophic."
He says more than 100 firefighters are at the scene and the roof of the mansion is very unstable.

Evening dresses on sale online sound like an incredible idea – not only will you be able to find a stunning dress that is perfect for your event, but it will be at a bargain price too. But can sale items really ever live up to the expectations we have of them?
Not everyone has a big budget when it comes to clothing, and that's especially true when it comes to buying items that may only be worn once and then left in a wardrobe for many months – or years – to come. So when a beautiful dress is on sale, it can seem like the perfect solution. Less money is paid, but the dress is just as lovely. Or is it? When you buy dresses online sometimes you just can't tell. But this is an old fashioned assumption, and certainly not one that should be considered today. Dresses are put on sale for all sorts of reasons. They might be old stock. They could be last year's style or colours, and not everyone minds that at all if they love the dress. Perhaps these evening dresses online need to make room for the latest fashions to come in. Yes, they could be slightly damaged or worn in some way, but if that's made clear to you and you are able to mend the issue with a little needle and thread, what is the problem? All in all, a bargain dress is just that – a bargain. And there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it makes the dress even better!
Wow That Dress Limited can be found online at http://www.wowthatdress.co.uk/. We have all the latest fashions in stock, so if you are looking for the perfect evening dresses on sale online look no further.

Glimpses of the Gospel in the Ukraine
Joel and Loriann are friends of ours working in the Ukraine to engage people with the gospel. Their testimony, below, is sobering and incredible at the same time. The opportunity for the sake of the gospel there is amazing and Joel and Loriann are a tangible reminder of what it means to live the gospel. We wanted to share their testimony as an encouragement to you and to remind you to keep the people and Church of the Ukraine in prayer during this critical time.
Daniel Cavanaugh – Vision4Living
Dear Loved Ones,
What an amazing week it has been! We literally could have sent out updates every hour or so over the past week and we wouldn't have been able to keep you all up to speed. Things have been happening so quickly around here. The bottom line is, the fighting and violence has ended here in Kiev and in most every other city in Ukraine. For this we are thankful!
However, before I get into all the changes taking place here, Loriann and I want to thank each of you who wrote with kind words letting us know you were standing with us. The letters of support and assurances of your prayers overwhelmed us. And to the many more who may not have written but have not ceased praying for us and for the people of Ukraine during these last weeks, we cannot thank you enough.
Our Sunday class this past week with the young people at church was very good. There was much relief that the fighting and violence had ended but also an acknowledging that even during the worst of these times, so many saw the Lord working in lives and waking up not only the Ukrainian church but the global church as well in prayer for Ukraine. A number of the young people asked, "Why did it take something like this to get us to start praying for our country?" (or for many Americans to start praying for Ukraine!) I was able to talk about how God is sovereign, and because He is sovereign he is in complete control over every situation. And even in the desperate, horrible times Ukraine has been going through, God has and is going to bring good out of it. I gave them Pastor Ron Dunn's words, "Good and bad run on parallel tracks and often arrive about the same time." No matter the situation, God is going to receive glory from it. This is what makes Him so trustworthy! And this is what we've been seeing in Ukraine since everything here has transpired.
As I'm sure you are all aware, Ukraine is under a new government now. Last weekend the former president, Viktor Yanukovych left the capital, Kiev for eastern parts of Ukraine. This was after he had signed an agreement with the opposition, which put an end to the fighting and was to transfer much of the president's power back to the parliament. By Saturday evening it became known that Yanukovych did not just travel to eastern Ukraine to attend a meeting but was in fact attempting to flee the country. As of today he is still missing. Due to his leaving the capital and in every sense of the word, the presidency, an interim-president was appointed. The new president then ordered the parliament to put together a new government (i.e. president, prime minister, cabinet,) by the middle of this week. Just last night the new president and cabinet was introduced to the people down on Maidan Square. This is a huge turn around from just one week ago! While Ukrainians know that there are many hard days ahead, for them this last week, and the changes it has brought, has been some kind of miracle. Even those who began the protests in Kiev last November, could never have imagined that the country would be where it is today. But as we know, this all came at a high price. There were 88 known to have died in the fighting on Maidan Square. Today these men and women are looked at as soldiers who died for liberty.
On Tuesday Loriann and I went down to Maidan Square to walk around, pay our respects to those who died, and try and get a sense of what this was all about. Before any of you start freaking out, Kiev and more specifically, Maidan is perfectly safe. The fighting has completely stopped and the government forces who were doing most of the shooting and killing have been disbanded and removed. While we were in downtown Kiev, we didn't even see so much as a police officer. The protesters are being very peaceful and now they have turned into the guards and security for the various government buildings and even standing guard in front of banks and other such businesses. While there are still thousands of protesters still occupying the square, they are not actively protesting anything right now, they are simply there to occupy and hold the establishing of the new government accountable. As you will see in the pictures we are attaching, the square, while still looking very much like a battle zone, has turned more into a living memorial than a protest camp. In fact this was something that surprised me while we were down there. There were literally thousands of people doing exactly what Loriann and I were doing; walking around, taking pictures, placing flowers at various barricades and memorial sites. Other than the guys who were still in their fatigues and body armor and who were holding their batons or bats, it was hard to differentiate between who was a protester and who was a visitor. The square and all of Kreshatik Street were still lined with tents and soup kitchens, indicating that people were not going to leave any time soon. Most of the big green army tents had signs on them letting you know what region or town in Ukraine the occupants were from. The soup kitchens were also manned and supplied by various cities and regions of the country. The soup kitchens were not only feeding the protesters but anyone could walk up to any of the kitchens and grab a plate of food or a sandwich to eat. There was a sense of camaraderie and togetherness while walking through this tent city within a city. Something else we sensed while walking was that people weren't ready to let go and move past these protests. There was a feeling of relief that the fighting had ended, a joy that the old regime had been dismantled, but also a feeling of needing to keep their Square just as it is (in all it's war zone ugliness) as a way of honoring it's dead. The Slavic people have always put a strong emphasis on honoring those who died in battle. We came away from Maidan Square feeling that this is what this protest camp had turned into, a battle field memorial for those who died.
The next few months leading up to the snap elections scheduled in May, will be very critical months for Ukraine. Even now there is reverse protests in some parts of eastern and southern Ukraine, those parts that have traditionally looked more to Russia than to Europe. There has also been some blatant saber rattling by Russia, which is none to happy at the way the events of the last week have played out. While peace and calm have been restored in the last few days, there is still great potential for further unrest and fighting.
So we ask you to please continue praying for Ukraine! We are not out of the woods yet. As we said above, the church seems to have taken these events as a wake-up call. This is a very good thing! Pray for the church as it mobilizes and seeks to help and assist not only in the social rebuilding of the country, but also the spiritual saving of men's souls. Pray also for the new government. As the new president said yesterday, this new interim-government will not be able to please everyone all of the time. It will seem like a lose-lose situation for them. Pray also that the outside influences (east or west) would stand back and allow Ukraine to decide it's own direction and not try to force, coerce or intimidate Ukraine in the direction that one side or the other wants. For hundreds and hundreds of years, Ukraine has been in the middle of a tug-of-war, pulled one way and then the other. And then lastly we ask that you would pray that the Gospel would find open hearts. Ukrainians are fed up with corruption; they are ready for a new way of life. Please pray that many would be open to the new and different life that can only be found in the person of Jesus Christ.
We again thank you for your prayers and support. More importantly, the people of Ukraine thank you.
With much love and gratefulness,
Joel & Loriann
Ep 2.21 | It's not Complicated
The End Is Near
For many years it seemed there was no end to the voices predicting the approaching end of the world. History has witnessed many of these, but the advent of the printing press, radio, television, and now the internet have given them a bigger platform and a broader hearing. But even with these, people, including Christians, have become somewhat inoculated and immune to the sensational cries of coming destruction or even Christ's return.
Sadly, it seems this is true regarding any sense of urgency about spiritual things and, in particular, the brevity of life. A Christian I heard about had on his desk the words, "It is later than you think". This served to remind him and others of the brevity of life and the importance of making life count. Doomsday scenarios notwithstanding, it is necessary for each of us to realize that "time waits for no man" (or woman), and that if we are to finish well, we must live with the end in view.
A survey of Biblical history reveals some significant personalities who began strong but ended poorly. King Saul began as a glorious leader towering above his peers but ended falling upon his own sword. Solomon inherited a kingdom which had seen the defeat of all enemies and ruled over unimaginable wealth and glory, only to leave a legacy to his descendants of immorality, idolatry, and, vanity. Hezekiah led a revival of Biblical religion that was unprecedented at the time, was humbled by the Prophet's prediction of his early death, then was graciously granted 15 more years of life by God. But as the years of that God-given reprieve neared their end, he squandered God's grace, acted foolishly, and exposed the people of God to dangers that would destroy a future generation.
By contrast, Joseph struggled with pride in his early years but was later used by God to rescue a generation and cast a vision for the people of God for generations to come. Daniel was taken captive by a pagan empire and made physically incapable of having offspring. Yet, he wielded power and Godly influence among the ungodly all of his adult life and lived an example of faith and Godliness for many generations to come. The Apostle Paul was a vengeful and vindictive persecutor of the first century church who had every intention of ridding the landscape of every follower of Christ. But, by God's grace, he became a follower of the Christ he persecuted, committed himself to bringing the Gentiles to Christ, and invested his life and the Scriptures in the lives of those who would carry the Gospel to the next generation.
All of this will move us, I pray, to remember "it is later than you think", to "live with the end in view", and "the end is near". These have become cliches but not worthless ones. James' admonition to realize life is a "vapor which is here for a moment then vanishes away" should drive us to God and ask Him for the grace to end well. The alternative is frightening and unacceptable. Therefore live every day before the face of God and end well.
By God's Grace,
Charles Cavanaugh
Ep 2.20 | A Final Look
Winter's Message
"Winter: a lingering season, a time to gather golden moments, embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour."
– John Boswell
This winter has lingered a long time. Everywhere I go – the bank, shopping, grocery, standing in line – everyone wants this season to be over. But can we, as the poem encourages us, make this season a time to gather golden moments?
As I look out my window upon the blanket of snow, I remember the verse, "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:18), celebrating the beautiful magnificence of God's landscape. "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow" (Psalm 51:7) – not forgetting those evenings that are more frequent because of the harsh winter, forcing us to stay in more; the meals together, spiritual conversations, and laughter around the fire.
It seems there are a few more idle hours because it's too cold to go and do and rush around. Those hours can become golden moments. This poem reminds me to enjoy winters sweet sentiments: reading that spiritual book that's been on your list, meditating on God's Word, praying longer and remembering those in need. "She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household is clothed with scarlet" (Proverbs 31:7) – using the idle moments wisely, trusting in her Savior.
Yes, winter has lingered longer, but the grass is peaking through, and winter will pass. If we spend this season lingering longer and gathering golden moments, our hearts should become more prepared for the Spring that awaits us. "And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones; and you shall be like a well-watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not." (Isaiah 58:11)

Are Servants Overrated?
What constitutes true servitude?
A genuine servant is motivated by the love he has for those he serves. Mind you, this does not imply that the ones you serve are lovable or that you feel a great emotion of love for them. But, to be a true servant, it requires the mind of Christ – a mind that is not consumed with itself but willing to lay down its life for the sake of others no matter what your position. Let's consider Christ's mind in Philippians 2:5-8:
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
Let's think about this for a moment:
Jesus Christ was the Son of God who created the universe – the third person of the Godhead who gave himself willingly without remorse or doubt. He gave himself for a people who had rejected Him and His ways – a people who not only rejected Him but despised and hated Him – even those whom had not even been born. And even in spite of all this, He took upon himself the form of a servant – with all its historical significance – so that you and I might know redemption!
Never allow yourself to be motivated by the response you may receive from those you serve. Many times you will find yourself discouraged because people either have not or refuse to see the value of what you are investing in their lives. Never make a decision to be the servant you are called to be based upon the emotion of the moment. Humble yourself and know that what you are doing is for the furtherance of the Gospel and the glory of Jesus Christ.
Servanthood affects every aspect of life…
…Especially leadership. When we think of true leadership or greatness, it is polar opposite of God's definition. Jesus said, "He that is greatest among you will be servant of all". True leadership is servant leadership. The Leader is not only there to give direction and vision but he also knows and understand the needs of those he leads. He positions himself – even if that is a lowly one – so he is not lording over those God has placed in his care. Instead, he meets those needs with compassion and care no matter how menial or subservient the task.
And last but not least, servanthood affects every relationship that we will steward in our lifetime. Our freedom in Christ releases us to serve those whom God has placed in our life: our fellow churchmen, family, co-workers and bosses, and the list goes on. We were not set free to be and do what we want rather we were set free to be and do what we could never do. Let us have the mind of Christ. May it transform our thinking and application. May we be as Christ who took on the form of a servant and became obedient even to the death of the cross. This is true servanthood.

Ep 2.19 | The Fruit We Seek
Building a Legacy
A line from a recent commercial says: "A legacy is not born. It's built. And it happens over time." Those who would leave a lasting legacy must be in for the long haul. A legacy for Christ is not built in days or even weeks, but years.
In parenting and pastoring the tendency is to place too much emphasis on short-term victories and failures. Temporary exhilaration or despair can easily cause us to lose sight of a vision for the future. This may lead to pastors and church leaders who keep looking for the next new technique or approach that will assure the growth of their churches and immediate success. It may lead to parents who tire of the grind and leave children to themselves or opt for "normal" family living.
Building a lasting legacy requires us to fight through the failures and setbacks of the present. It requires the spiritual stamina that only comes from constantly looking to Christ and His Word. Distractions and discouragements will come, but they cannot be allowed to deter us from the task of leaving a lasting legacy for Christ. Parents, the journey is a long one that will end all too quickly. Spend your days passing on a passion for Christ that will stand the test of time. Pastors and church leaders; buildings and budgets are necessary but may not be the indicators of long-term success – live, work, and minister with the next generation in view. Remember, "A legacy is not born. It's built. And it happens over time." May Christ by His grace help us to do it.
For His Glory,
Charles Cavanaugh
I don't want to forgive…
Consider the Cross
You will never understand true forgiveness apart from the cross. True forgiveness of our fellow man is an expression – a testimony – to the power of the Gospel in human form. When we realize the magnitude of the depravity of which we have been forgiven – the weight of our sin – then we will understand that forgiveness is not based upon the worth of a person but rather the love of God that is flowing through us. [Eph.2, Rom. 3:23, Rom. 5] The cross made it possible for our forgiveness and the ability for us to forgive others. Never lose sight of the cross because, in so doing, you will lose sight of what it means to forgive. God gave His only son to be mutilated upon the cross so that we might know forgiveness of every wrong. This must be our motivation, our foundation, and our lifestyle when it comes to the issue of forgiveness.
Bitterness is Real
However, we must not fail to recognize that bitterness is real and deadly. How do we deal with it? Is it a matter of perspective?
Forgiveness is a Miracle
In all reality, forgiveness is a miracle because no one – when seen through the mirror of our sin – deserves forgiveness. We have it all backwards. We fail to see that it was us that offended a holy God not the other way around. Judgment is what we deserve so, therefore, the fact that He would choose to forgive His people is a miracle. We do not and never will deserve that forgiveness. Anyone who continues to reject His gift of salvation cannot blame God but only themselves – condemned to eternal judgment. But thanks be to God that He has forgiven those whom He has called! Let us forgive as He forgave us! [Mark 11:25 & 26] Others may not deserve it, but neither do we.
Forgiveness is a Choice
God made an eternal choice to forgive His chosen race of their sin. Those of us who are of that race – who possess an understanding of the weight of forgiveness through the Spirit – must make the same choice to forgive all those who wrong us. We can do no less, because forgiveness does not happen by default. Otherwise, you do not know or understand the forgiveness that you thought you found at the cross.

Peppers are an anti-inflammatory superfood—but go red to reap the most benefits. Out of the three colors of bell pepper, red have the highest amount of inflammatory-biomarker-reducing vitamin C along with the bioflavonoids beta-carotene, quercetin, and luteolin, according to research in the Journal of Food Science . Luteolin has been found to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation. Beta-carotene is a carotenoid, fat-soluble compounds that are associated with a reduction in a wide range of cancers, as well as reduced risk and severity of inflammatory conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. And allergy research has shown that quercetin acts as a mast-cell stabilizer, which decreases the number of cells reacting to an allergen. Mast cells are responsible for releasing histamine during inflammatory and allergic reactions.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to disrupt inflammation cell signaling pathways by binding to the GPR120 receptor. [34] This benefit however can be inhibited or even reversed if the ratio of Omega-6 / Omega-3 is too high as Omega-6 serves as a precursor to inflammatory chemicals ( prostaglandin and leukotriene eicosanoids ) in the body. [35] [36] A high proportion of omega-6 to omega-3 fat in the diet shifts the physiological state in the tissues toward the pathogenesis of many diseases: prothrombotic, proinflammatory and proconstrictive. [35] Omega-6 competes with Omega-3 for the same rate limiting factor which is required for the health-benefits of Omega-3, directly reducing the action of Omega-3 in addition to pharmacologically counteracting Omega-3 benefits through its own action as a pro-inflammatory agent.
NSAIDS have antipyretic activity and can be used to treat fever. [75] [76] Fever is caused by elevated levels of prostaglandin E2 , which alters the firing rate of neurons within the hypothalamus that control thermoregulation. [75] [77] Antipyretics work by inhibiting the enzyme COX, which causes the general inhibition of prostanoid biosynthesis ( PGE2 ) within the hypothalamus . [75] [76] PGE2 signals to the hypothalamus to increase the body's thermal set point. [76] [78] Ibuprofen has been shown more effective as an antipyretic than paracetamol (acetaminophen). [77] [79] Arachidonic acid is the precursor substrate for cyclooxygenase leading to the production of prostaglandins F, D & E.

If the success of a football player is measured in the inches of his biceps or how many times he can flip a giant tire, then newly signed Jets safety LaRon Landry might as well schedule a session with a sculptor for his bust in Canton.
Unfortunately for Landry, whom the Jets introduced to the New York media on Tuesday afternoon via conference call, play on the field is what he will be judged on. The former Redskins safety, who was the No. 6 player selected in the 2007 NFL Draft, has been limited to just 17 games over the past two seasons. An Achilles injury first popped up in 2010, cutting into his season and then derailing him the next year as well.
He opted out of surgery which he says could have cost him the first six games of the season.
"Unfortunately midway through [last] season the injury moved kind of further down towards the bone type issues," Landry said. "It wasn't really an Achilles issue last year. The reason why I opted out of surgery is that it wasn't really an Achilles injury."
It's clear from both Landry and Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum that the player isn't quite ready to take to the field yet. While he said his attendance at offseason team activities (OTAs) and mini-camp is not an issue, Landry did dodge questions about how much he will be ready to participate saying he will be active "as much as possible."
Tannenbaum wasn't worried that his new signing might not fully participate in OTAs or mini-camp. He said the goal is to get him on the field for the season opener.
"We feel really good about LaRon, we feel really good about our medical department and we're going to work as a partnership to get him ready for opening day," Tannenbaum said. "Barring anything unforeseen we think he'll be ready to go."
The one-year deal helps fill needs in the secondary where Eric Smith was the only returning safety. Landry, who at the 2007 NFL Combine clocked a 4.35 time in the 40, is known as a run stopper and brings versatility to the position. He also brings a "gym rat" mentality to the team as he made waves last month when a photo of him appeared on Twitter showing clear muscle and size gains.
Rumors that the image was photoshopped or that Landry was on steroids began to circulate, but neither the player's history with injuries or the recent whispers about his strength gains scared the Jets away from their biggest prize of free agency. In turn, Landry fell in love with his new team, making the decision a simple one.
"It was multiple things. First of all, a great organization, well-rounded. A player-driven organization, all for the players and basically winning ball games. And that's what it's all about, winning ball games, going to the playoffs and getting a ring," Landry said.
"It's a player-driven organization so it's kind of like a no-brainer."

Cambridge Newspapers, part of Iliffe News and Media, has continued its expansion by buying four free titles from Johnston Press – but jobs could go.
The free weekly Town Crier series has editions in St Neots, St Ives and Huntingdon, and also publishes the monthly St Neots Community News. The series has a distribution of 43,000 and a readership of 64,000.
David Fordham [pictured], chief executive of Iliffe News and Media, told Press Gazette this morning the Town Criers would merge with the existing St Neots Weekly News, and Huntingdon and St Ives Weekly News.
When asked if the mergers meant editorial job losses, Fordham said: "It's too early to tell what the consequences might be." He added distributors were likely to be affected.
The new titles' name is expected to be the News and Crier.
It is the latest in a series of aquisitions from Iliffe – one of the few media companies buying any titles at present.
In November, Iliffe bought the Northampton Herald and Post series, comprising four titles, from Trinity Mirror.
In April, it launched a free weekly, The Nuneaton Observer, with Observer Standard Newspapers.
But in November, it announced plans to cut around 80 jobs at Cambridge Newspapers and Staffordshire Newspapers.
Further restructuring, involving the merger of LSN Media with Staffordshire Newspapers, and Cambridge Newspapers with Herts & Essex Newspapers, was announced in December.
On the new titles, Fordham said: 'We are very pleased to have acquired The Crier series of newspapers in what we regard as an important territory for us.
'Although trading conditions are extremely difficult at the present time, we firmly believe that over a period of time this acquisition will ultimately strengthen our publishing position in these markets."

The Scottish Government has opened up a consultation regarding Trish Godman's proposal for the criminalisation of the purchase of sex. This proposal would, if passed, make it a crime for customers to pay for sexual services. Also considered are the criminalisation of activities related to prostitution (e.g. advertising) and also the discussion of what constitutes "payment" (e.g. rent, drugs, debts, food, etc.) The potential impact of this proposal upon prostitutes and other sex workers would be drastic.
The "consultation" document can be found here: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/s3/bills/MembersBills/documents/20101122CriminalisationofPurchaseofSex.pdf
The consultation itself (8 questions) can be found at the end of the document. The due date is 18th Febuary.

Congress hails nuclear deal, opposition screams surrenderOctober 2nd, 2008 - 4:08 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Oct 2 (IANS) The ruling Congress termed it "historic" while the opposition panned it as a surrender to US imperialism. Reactions to the US Senate Thursday clearing the India-US civil nuclear deal with a resounding 86-13 majority were predictably diverse."It is a historic day. The deal is in the interest of India. It is a recognition of India as a superpower and the triumph of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's vision," said Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal, who has been vigorously defending the deal at many forums, said the passage of the nuclear deal by the US Senate would silence all critics.
"It is beneficial for everyone, whether rich or poor. Everyone wants power," Siba maintained.
While the Congress exulted, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) maintained that the government had stepped into a blind trap knowingly and would not be able to get out of it easily.
"We have acceded to the nuclear non-proliferation regime with the India-US nuclear deal. Our sovereignty has been mortgaged as all obligations (pertaining to the deal) are on India and all privileges are with the US," said BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
"The statement of the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has vindicated the BJP's stand that India can no longer hold nuclear tests and has lost its right to conduct nuclear test in perpetuity. This may be a victory for the UPA government but India has lost in the long run," Rudy said.
The Left parties, which withdrew support from the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government in July over differences on the nuclear deal, said they would step up their protests despite the US Senate's resounding endorsement.
"We will observe Oct 4, the day US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrives in New Delhi to sign the India-US civil nuclear deal, as Black Day and will protest the surrender to US imperialism," said Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader Nilotpal Basu.
A Vijayraghavan, the party's central secretariat member and chief whip in the Rajya Sabha said Prime Minister Singh had damaged parliamentary procedures and neglected the sentiments of people.
"The US has succeeded in clearing every democratic procedure in haste to finalise the deal which ultimately favours them but Manmohan Singh has undermined out parliamentary democratic set up and neglected the sentiments of the people," he said.
Rice, who played a pivotal role to secure the passage of the deal with numerous meetings and phone calls to lawmakers, is expected to carry the deal package to New Delhi Saturday.
She and India's External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee may sign the bilateral 123 agreement to operationalise the deal.

The falling rain did not deter hundreds of mourners from paying their respects Friday night to three officers who were killed in this week's shootings in Moncton, N.B.
People gathered to honour the memories of constables Fabrice Gevaudan, Douglas Larche and David Ross.
Mourners dropped off several flowers outside Codiac RCMP headquarters and signed a book of condolences set up next to portraits of all three officers.
People were visibly distraught as community members, police officers, emergency personnel and Canadian Forces members paid tribute to the fallen Mounties.
They also lined up to thank and embrace RCMP officers who were present at the memorial.
At one point, mourners broke into a quiet rendition of "Amazing Grace," CTV's Katie Simpson reported from the scene.

'So, why did you come along today?'
I'm sitting at a table with three other women, all a little older than me.
'Ooh, tea at the Midland, definitely. We came to one last year as well. It's so nice here!'
The others chip in.
'I read Rachel Cooke in the Observer.'
'And the subject matter, I like the sound of the book.'
Let's take these points in turn. The Midland is quite lovely, and I relish being here, on a Thursday afternoon, at a little table in the Wyvern Room. There are teacups and plates waiting, but we don't get the scones until we've listened to the talk.
Rachel Cooke is indeed a fine writer, and it's not surprising that she should be so appreciated here in the realms of Guardian-land. She also turns out to be a wonderful speaker, relaxed, fluent and funny. I could have listened to her for twice as long.
And the subject matter? Cooke's new book, Her Brilliant Career: Ten Extraordinary Women of the Fifties, may have explained the preponderance of ladies of a certain age filling the tables and listening with pleasure whilst waiting for their tea and scones. All I can say is, you men and youngsters really missed out.
Picture a woman in the 1950s and you'll probably come up with a housewife in a flowered pinny, mixing up a batch of fairy cakes whilst trilling about how wonderful her new vacuum cleaner is. In a book about the 'New Elizabethans', published in the year of the coronation, there were 42 men and five women. And these five included two actresses and a ballerina. Cooke went looking for a more representative sample.*
Was it, asked BBC Radio Manchester presenter Sam Walker, hard to find ten women to write about? No, the difficulty was thinning down the field. And these are, Cooke says, really eye-popping women: fearless, pragmatic and joined by a common thread of 'utterly rapacious determination.'
The main trouble in researching the book was the lack of printed material, according to Cooke. Histories tend to be written by men, and the women themselves have largely been forgotten, any books they had produced now out of print. "I spent hours in the British Library and newspaper libraries, and more persuading the families to talk."
The process of detection was as fascinating as the stories themselves. These women had enjoyed their war, "trousers, no stockings, and lots of sex," and the absence of men had given them the opportunity to get started in careers earlier generations were kept out of. They tended towards complicated private lives, and lived in what Cooke categorised as "pre-guilt days. They didn't agonise over their choices like we women do today."
As the scones arrived (and they were worth waiting for), I reflected that my mother, who worked full time and never wore a pinny, came directly in line from these women. It also struck me that we were all sitting here, listening to stories of inspirational women, surrounded by photographs of men engaged in sporting prowess. Sigh. There's still work to be done. I'm going to start by reading this book.
(I've just looked up the list from the BBC series 'The New Elizabethans', broadcast for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. It includes 47 men and 15 women. Two of these are royal, and one is Barbara Windsor. We need more books like this one.)

Experience #946 – Encountering my other grandmother - March 13, 2013
I got up in the morning and wanted to have an Out-of-body experience. My dreams had been vivid enough as they have been the past few days, so there was a good chance of becoming lucid. I went into a non-lucid dream. I find myself with my immediate family and other relatives. I was in a very large luxurious house. I heard an unusual discussion about the many pink rocks one of my cousins had bought. As I was listening I saw a vision of a huge pile of small pink rocks. Everyone there concluded that she had paid way too much for them, that it didn't have much value. My cousin felt disappointed. At this point I was just listening, thinking how silly, even the number 50,000 came up at some point.
I do not know how it happened but then felt myself laying down. I might have disappeared and re-appeared lying down. But I can't remember for sure how this transition took place because I wasn't lucid. It came to me to try to have an out-of-body experience. I felt a quick, sudden and subtle shift. I became aware I was in the non-physical. I stood up. I was in the same house. Everyone was still there. They were all gathered in the kitchen area as before. I was a bit further in the living room.
I stood there for a moment and said: "allow me to be attuned, allow to me feel what I need to feel"
I hovered in a vertical position towards the kitchen. In short, I could sense what people where feeling. Not that I could read their minds, more like knowing how they felt at their core. I took a mental note to see who was be more sensitive to psychic awareness in which my sister was first and a distant aunt was second. It's strange now that I think about it, but it crossed my mind at the time so I went with it. The objective way of trying to explain this would be that I tested how much awareness each person had to my presence. I was invisible to some i think, others didn't understand me, others ignored me completely and few acknowledge my presence. I hovered around this particularly large kitchen trying to make this determination.
I saw my grandma laying down for a rest in a small kitchen sofa. She had her eyes closed and was mumbling very softly as if talking in her sleep. I got closer to listen to what she was saying.
Grandma: Oonce I saaaw maaxiiimuus flllyiing
Me: Yes, I can fly too. Look!
My grandmother opened her eyes just enough to be able to see that I was floating. I flew around the kitchen counter an on top of the others. I landed next to my grandma after one turn.
Me: Do you want to know the reason why I am telling you this?
Me: Because you will be ready to fly one day.
I woke up. My other grandmother died about 15 years ago. Maximus could be a reference to my cousin.
Encountering my other grandmother
This is for discussion for Astral Projection, Out-of-body and Lucid Dream Experiences.

First of all I have to say this is the first time I ordered from autoanything. A great experience beginning with Roy my contact and the customer service, on par with Amazon, better because you get someone on the phone right away. Chat service is also the best. Tony was great. The Lloyd mats fit perfect. They dress up my car and would order them again. I made one mistake. I ordered for the front only. I should have ordered for the rear as well. I highly recommend buying from Autoanything.

Phoenix-based photographer Ernie Button has discovered a whole new world of photographic subjects: the dried up remains of whiskey at the bottom of the glass. It may look like photos from NASA, but these are not images from the hubble telescope – these are shots taken under a microscope. The results are truly incredible!
What's so amazing about these photos is the way they resemble landscapes and extra-terrestrial planets. I love when the world at small scale reflects the world at the largest scales. It really makes you stop and think about how crazy this universe really is. And that beauty is truly something worth sharing.

Penguins coach Mike Sullivan and Guentzel had several conversations about the amount of hockey the kid has played, all positive, all with a go-out-and-get-'em sort of ending. The Penguins' quick-strike offense struck again, and they won Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final 4-1 to extend their lead to 2-0 in the series. That ensured the upstart Preds of going home with nothing to show for their trip here. - Minnesota Wild assistant coach Scott Stevens has resigned after one year with the team, citing a desire to spend more time with his family in New Jersey.
The 22-year-old tied the game 1-1 in the opening frame and then sparked the third period avalanche by beating Rinne 10 seconds in.
Bryan Rust used Rinne for a boomerang, pounding a ideal "shot-pass" into the goalie's pad.
Rinne, 34, will have to rebound in a big way.
"We practice it all season". Ironically, his goal was waved off due to the play being correctly deemed offside. Then, 15 seconds later, Malkin also scored unassisted.
In order for Rinne to find his game and succeed, the defense needs to tighten up. "For me, I treat this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
"We're capable of playing even better than we did in Pittsburgh, and I thought we played some great hockey", Subban said.
"I think at the end of the day we're up 1-0", Bonino said. We were talking about that. Actually, no, I take that back.we already knew that one.
Guentzel, remember, came into this series in a brutal slump.
It's Aberg's second goal of the playoffs.
The fresh-faced, 22-year-old rookie who leads the National Hockey League in playoff goals - a hot streak that has him in the middle of the Conn Smythe Trophy conversation given to the postseason MVP - was once too embarrassed to shoot the puck.
Perhaps all we really learned last night is that these Predators, injuries and all, can MORE THAN play with this Penguins teams.and we learned the Penguins are a very opportunistic bunch.
"He seems pretty calm and cool on the outside", said Sidney Crosby, whose locker is next to Guentzel's. He's willing to do anything. It turned out to be the game-winner, Guentzel's second in a row.
The Clarksville Parks & Recreation Department and CDE Lightband will stream the game to a huge screen on the First Street side of City Hall.
Figure, only one rookie - Dino Ciccarelli in 1980-81 - has produced more goals; he had 14.
The Predators are also blowing away the Penguins in the faceoff circle, winning 62 percent of draws through 40 minutes.
Rookie Jake Guentzel fired a shot by Nashville's Pekka Rinne with 3:17 left in regulation to put the Penguins ahead to stay in a flat-out weird 5-3 victory. But it usually doesn't happen. He has won 14 majors, the last one the U.S. Open in 2008 at Torrey Pines just one week before his fourth knee surgery, which sidelined him for almost nine months.
Suffice to say, Saturday night and Game Three can't come fast enough. Now, Nashville is staring down a 2-0 hole, territory this team has not waded through on this run.
Country music star Alan Jackson will play a concert prior to Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final in Nashville on Saturday.
"We talked a lot about elevating our play", center Matt Cullen said of Pittsburgh's second intermission team talk. "We're going to feed off that energy and we're going to be ready". We want more. It's our game. Nashville finally pulled Rinne in the third period, but the damage had been done at that point. As in full of holes. The first-year Guentzel scored his playoffs-leading 11th and 12th goals, while Murray mitigated 38 shots into one goal. The group failed to score on six chances, mustering just two shots on goal in 10:58. That's eight goals on 36, or a.778 save percentage. He had gone to a place where he had made the big saves, where he had picked up the big win, where he was once again the best goalie in the playoffs.

I spent a lot of time barefoot growing up. Sure, I had shoes for school, church, flip flops, etc. But as soon as I got home, shoes were off, regardless of my being indoors or out in the backyard. This is fairly common for a lot of people, specially if you live in a hot weather climate.
As an adult, my feelings towards shoes haven't changed much. I still spend most of my day barefoot around the house. If I have to wear shoes, these are my current choices:
1. A pair of walking shoes for everyday. Since they're basically the only shoes I wear year round, I usually buy nice, quality shoes with good foot support.
2. A pair of snow boots for bad weather.
3. Not really for going out, but a pair of old Crocs that I wear from time to time when I'm cleaning and don't want to track dirt from room to room.
…..and that's it. I have a couple pairs of flip flops vegetating in the closet that see the light of day every other leap year. I don't go fancy places that require fancy shoes, so my footwear shopping happens whenever my everyday shoes pretty much begin falling apart.
The thing about being pregnant, is that your body changes in more ways than one.
A friend of mine shared this article the other day: "10 Reasons Why Women Who Hate Being Pregnant Should Talk About It More".
I have met women who have said that being pregnant was the only time in their lives when they felt truly happy. And I'm happy for them. I fully fall into the category described in the article linked above. I wholeheartedly agree that talking about what happens during pregnancy needs to happen more and more. I worked with young women at a rehab center who were pregnant and had no idea about what was happening to their bodies. To say that some of them were shocked is to put it lightly.
I've been pregnant 4 times, and so far the actual process hasn't exactly been a happy one 100% of the time:
The first two ended in ER tears and tragedy.
The third, EB, was a stressful time. Between the memory of the two loses, the weight of gestational diabetes and the ups and downs of pregnancy itself, I was pretty high strung throughout the nine months. When EB ended up in the NICU on day two, I just about lost my mind (he recovered quickly, thank God, not sure about my mind).
The fourth is still in progress, and I'm so ready for June to get here.
I love my children. The ones in Heaven, the one currently snoring next to me and the one trying to test the physical limitations of my ribs.
I can deal with the cravings, having to pee every five seconds and I have no problem with saying no to alcohol. I can deal with the back pain and night sweats. Hair in strange places is sometimes amusing, and feeling those kicks can be pretty cute.
As your body changes during pregnancy, some things change that might not occur to you, like your feet. My very comfortable walking shoes now hurt me at every step. I've been wearing my old, work-around-the-house Crocs and even those are starting to bother. At least the weather is warming up and I don't have to worry about walking through snow nearly barefoot. The pain got so bad, that I couldn't move without limping heavily. The OB referred me to Orthopedics, who unfortunately can't do anything about it, since I can't have an x-ray until after delivery. With EB, it was carpal tunnel during pregnancy and for months after delivery. I still have some very attractive hardcore wrist braces from those days.
As a long-time migraine sufferer, I hate that I can't take the meds I need to kill a headache. Specially when my son wants to play with me and I'm in too much pain to even open my eyes. I lucked out in the morning sickness department, as I pretty much had none. Migraines, on the other hand……ergh.
The first time you're pregnant, although all the information on what to do is coded into your DNA, your body is in a bit of a shock. It's the first time it's had to grow a human. The second (and third, fourth, etc) time….your body knows what to expect. And it goes all out.
Which is why women who're pregnant for a second time show a baby belly earlier. Things swell faster, get bigger, joints loosen up more than before. Actions such as coughing, sneezing and even eating become painful. I ate two slices of toast the other day and then spent the next four hours feeling like I'd eaten an entire Thanksgiving turkey with all the popular sides.
And oh, my goodness, do I ever miss breathing. It's funny how you take something so basic for granted until it's gone.
As the weather has warmed up, I've been wanting to take EB out to the park so he can run amuck, but between the aching feet, the exploding head and the inability to fill my lungs with oxygen, it's near impossible to keep up with him. And this kiddo is fast @_@
Nope. I do not enjoy being pregnant. There's no adorable mother-to-be glow about my person.
What is parenting like? These guys have great answers (beware, some might have language not suitable for kiddos): Fowl Language, Story of this life, Perfection Pending.
Soon, there will be two kiddos running amuck through the house, who will do their absolute best effort in driving me even more insane than I could ever fathom.
Is this whole thing worth it? Yep. It most certainly is.

Poor Eric. He is constantly tinkering with our stuff. If it's not the computer, it's usually my phone which has been everywhere from the bottom of the toilet to being chucked across the room. I laugh to keep my sanity. :D
In other news, it has been way too long since I've done a Confession Friday, so it's happening. Right now.
I confess that I have two birthday parties to throw next month, including a big first birthday, and I'm just now getting started...what the heck is wrong with me? This will be, and I promise - for real this time, the last year for a while that we're having parties for birthdays. Next year we're going to Disney, and that's IT. Haha.
I confess that I have been so emotional lately. GoodNESS. Any little thing on facebook sends me into a first class ugly cry. Sobs.
I confess that Eric and I are seriously thinking about going into the bucket selling business. Light up buckets, that is. :D Eric especially loves the idea, because he wants the nickname "Mr. Bucket."
I confess that we are chugging our way up the debt free chart....
Choo choo! Ready to pull this bad boy into the station and be DONE.
I confess that I'm a terrible cook. There. I said it. Been trying to deny it for years, but it is what it is. Do like to bake, though!
I confess that if the school asks us for money for ONE MORE THING...I'm gonna give it to them. My kid gets to go to school for free, despite lack of any state funding. And one town over we'd be paying $200 a month per kid for the same program at a public school. Thank you, Red Bud. You rock.
I confess that I'm considering changing up a huge family tradition this year a bit - gasp! We always go to the Belleville Eckert's farm for pumpkin picking, but I thought it might be fun to try the Millstadt location for a change. Hey locals, which one is your favorite??
All because of this video they posted this morning. :)
I confess that I've been wearing my hair in braids almost every single day. I just don't feel like doing it when I take Evie to school. I'm sure I look like a 12 year old while carting my three kids around, haha.
I confess that nothing irritates me more than whiiiining. But the way Reagan says, "Mamamama mooom" when he's upset...it makes me smile. Oh, I'm so doomed.
I confess that I have the best friends ever. Seriously. I am still getting cards and encouragement after our rough last week. Love you!!
Evelyn says: I confess that... I'm going to try to be a good girl. :)
I confess that I sorta missed Confession Friday. Might have to bring it back as a regular thing again. :)
I honestly don't know what this weekend holds for us, but I hope it's a good one. The weather promises to be perfectly Fall once again...appropriate, since the first day of Fall is Sunday - wahooo!!!
See you in the next season! :D

Unique Favor or Bridesmaid Gift
For the ladies perhaps?
For the strapping gents!
I plan on giving these beautiful mugs as gifts at my wedding. This could get pricey if you are having an average to larger wedding. But, if you are having a small wedding like us (50 people!) then you may want to spend a few hundred dollars to get your guests a nice gift! You may be able to find less expensive versions on websites like Etsy, Ebay or Poppytalk Handmade.
