The Real Problem with Bruxism (Grinding Teeth)
Even though bruxism (teeth grinding) is typically viewed as an extremely annoying habit, it is also generally seen as a harmless bad habit. Nothing could be further from the truth (than the bit about it being harmless, that is) because grinding your teeth - over time- can severely damage both teeth and jaws. Bruxism can also transform your bite relationship.
The habit of grinding teeth causes abrasion to the chewing surfaces… an abnormal wear and tear, which will prematurely age and loosen teeth. This, ultimately, opens the door to more problems such as hypersensitive teeth. In addition, Bruxism can lead to headaches and chronic jaw or facial pain.
So if somebody you know has been driving you up the wall with their bad habit of teeth grinding, do yourself (and them) a favor by letting them know the risks and recommend that they see a dentist in Chicago for Bruxism treatment. Sometimes, those suffering this condition are unaware that they are grinding their teeth or that this is causing a problem for others - let alone themselves.
On the other hand, what should you do if it's you with the teeth grinding problem
If you hear popping sounds when you open and close your mouth, if your jaw is sore, if your teeth look abnormally short and/or worn down, or if you notice small dents in your tongue… you might want to schedule an appointment to visit a dentist for Bruxism.
Teeth grinding is a treatable condition often caused by an inability to cope well with stress or anxiety. We all react differently to these important parts of life, and there are treatments available for the unhealthy reactions (such as grinding your teeth) which can result in more health problems and more stress. A popular and effective therapy that is often used in this scenario involves the use of a special piece that is worn in your mouth while you are sleeping. Other effective treatment methods that are less intrusive may involve biofeedback and behavior modification, such as tongue exercises and learning how to properly align your tongue, teeth and lips. Your dentist will let you know which Bruxism treatment options are most appropriate for your unique circumstances, but behavioral modification is almost always an underlying factor in the most effective treatments available.

U.S Banks Told To Prepare For Total Collapse!
Martial law is being prepared for a staged banking collapse in the late October. This is a Red Alert! Only exposing the fact that this is staged will make them back off. Let's get to work exposing the Banksters-this is not a game it is WAR!!!
1 comment:
The plunge protection team is still alive and functioning behind the scenes. The stock market and commodities market are being manipulated to give impression of strengthening economy. The reality is that banks and financial companies are using computer generated trades to stimulate the markets. The illegal manipulation of the LIBOR indicates the influence of banking system in Europe. Unfortunately, the bankers are not being regulated and they can precipitate and effectuate rises and declines in any all economies. Demand fiscal accountability from candidates.ReplyDelete

Backing up data to a Cloud is a way of benefiting from a digital safe for all your data. But there are some important things that have to be considered such as price, PC/Mac server compatibility, and whether it be for personal or professional use, or operating client software.
For individuals, the most well-known backup options are Skydrive and Dropbox. Though these are more storage and sharing options, rather than true backups. A true backup software would be capable of:
- Analysing files for backup
- Backing up files even if they are in use, which is always the case with the software installed on servers, but not always with "standard" PCs and Macs
- Only backing up files which have been altered since the last backup rather than backing up everything each time
- Restoring all or part of the data set in a simple fashion
And Macs?
In the world of Macintosh, Apple launched iCloud almost 2 years ago. As Cloud backups go, iCloud is a convenient and easy to use personal backup. For those who operate over a mixed Windows/Mac OS X environment, a big advantage is that iCloud software comes installed as standard on a Mac, and can be easily downloaded and installed for free on a Windows PC. iCloud offers 5GB free, which isn't much, but you can buy an extra 10GB for £14/year which is still an acceptable price, although 50 GB extra (55Gb in total) costs £70/year.
The drawback of iCloud is that it is assigned to a single user account, which means that all the data is accessible to everyone that configured said account. Not very suitable for a professional network, unless it were possible to use iCloud on Windows Server… But Apple hasn't mentioned that…

We can without a doubt say that amid the previous couple of years, there is an expanding of the knowledge among individuals with regards to their hormones and their capacity. The hormones are in charge of the direction of everything in the human body, beginning from our general mood to the way we age over the years.
Actually, hormones have an extraordinary part in how our body looks and feels. For instance, the cortisol is a hormone discharged into the body subsequently of stress. Whenever discharged, it causes irritation and oxidative anxiety.
The chemical cleaners and processed foods that we utilize on a daily basis can put extra pressure on the body which thusly triggers the arrival of cortisol, prompting hormonal imbalance. This causes weight maintenance and raises the danger of diabetes and heart illness.
There are numerous customary items available that are considered to regulate hormones like cortisol, however shockingly; they contain unnatural fixings which can cause many symptoms. Along these lines, the best thing you ought to do is settle on a natural treatment.
For many years, Ashwagandha Root has been used in Africa and India. This extra healthy herb is considered as the wellspring of youth. This amazing root has numerous medical advantages. It can ameliorate the immune system, moderate the aging procedure, and make you looking vivacious and energetic. Adaptogen, the dynamic compound in Ashwagandha has effective anti-aging properties. As should be obvious by its name, it can adjust to what the body needs.
Thus, in the event that you are worried, or have hyperthyroid issues, for example, Graves Disease, Ashwagandha can be extremely helpful in reducing hormonal creation. Likewise, in the event that you experience the ill effects of lower hormonal creation, for example, delivering less testosterone, men maturing or Hashimoto's sickness (hypothyroid issues), Ashwagandha will likewise work to raise hormonal creation.
Ashwagandha can be exceptionally helpful for treating:
- Stress
- Anxiety and/or depression
- Endurance
- Immune Deficiency
- Diabetes
- Inflammation
- Acne
- Sexual potency
- Stamina and vitality
- Low Energy
- Ashwagandha and Cancer
It is truly astonishing that Ashwagandha can viably treat and anticipate cancer. Despite the fact that this is not experimentally demonstrated yet, many tests indicated positive outcomes. Ashwagandha offers strong immune boosting and antioxidant properties that can lessen destructive cells from appearing and spreading.
It can be extremely compelling for patients going to chemotherapy, on the grounds that the harmful compound utilized as a part of chemo can just devastate the immune system of the patient and inevitably prompt ailment and even deadly diseases. It is demonstrated that tumor patients who took Ashwagandha once a day experienced more prominent vitality levels.
You should simply add 5-10mg to some warm milk (substitutes like nut milk or a smoothie are worthy current alternatives). You can likewise utilize capsules, yet make a point to buy without gmo, Organic Ashwagandha in light of the fact that they are most effective and most secure.

So, this is my last Hump Day Post for this year.
2015 sure has had a few surprises for me! We did a seven and a half months caravan trip around Australia and really appreciated how BIG our country is!
They say life's a learning curve, well, I sure learned many things during our time away. Like:
- Mr Oz and I can take each other's company 24/7
- Seven months is too long a trip
- Confined space (like a caravan) is no problem
- Extreme HOT temperatures is debilitating
- I missed my family and friends
- We'll never see ALL of Australia – it'll take a lifetime of exploration!
So, I just thought I'd share a gallery of Oz with you. There was a time there, when I had a melt down and took great comfort from you. I want to say a big 'Thank You' for your support at that time. It made the world of difference to me!
I'd like wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Love, Peace and Joy – may your God be with you during the festive season.
I hope to see you again in the New Year!
Take care!

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is a civil rights group that promotes a racial and progressive agenda.
The NAACP message contradicts what civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. stood for. Dr. King advanced the American notion that men should be judged by the content of their character. By contrast, the NAACP promotes a race-first agenda that seeks to elevate minorities in school, politics, and the workplace based only on skin-color. The NAACP advocates for affirmative action programs that regularly discriminate against white and Asian Americans.
History and Mission
The NAACP was formed partly in response to the horrific practice of lynching and the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois. Appalled at the violence against blacks, a Mary White Ovington and Oswald Garrison Villard (both the descendants of abolitionists), William English Walling, and Dr. Henry Moscowitz issued a call for a meeting to discuss racial justice.
The NAACP is America's oldest and largest civil rights group.[1] With approximately 500,000 members worldwide, its mission is "to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination."[2]
In order to combat what it views as racial inequity, the NAACP actively lobbies for the "enactment and enforcement of federal, state, and local laws securing civil rights."[3] The NAACP is composed of several departments. The NAACP Legal Department focuses on court cases of broad application to minorities, such as perceived discrimination in employment, government and education. The NAACP also works to improve public education at the local, state and federal levels. Each state has its own NAACP chapter.
Ties to CommunismAt times in its history, the NAACP has been closely associated with radical political networks. In 1922, the NAACP began receiving grants from the Garland Fund. The Garland Fund was run and influenced by communist supporters such as William Z. Foster, Benjamin Gitlow, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Scott Nearing and American Civil Liberties Union founder Roger Baldwin.[4] In 1938, NAACP members participated in the Soviet-controlled World Youth Congress. During the 1940s, the NAACP was affiliated with the Communist-involved World Federation of Democratic Youth.[5] In 1946, the NAACP supported the establishment of the Communist-dominated Progressive Party.[6]
NAACP In the CourtsIn 1954, the NAACP successfully argued for color-blind justice in the seminal Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education. More recently, however, the nature of the NAACP's crusades has changed. While claiming that its "primary focus … continues to be the protection and enhancement of the civil rights of African Americans and other minorities," the organization now supports racial preferences rather than equal rights.[7]
The shift was articulated by Thurgood Marshall, who, as NAACP Chief Counsel in 1954, argued in his brief for the Brown case that "[d]istinctions by race are so evil, so arbitrary and invidious that a state, bound to defend the equal protection of the laws must not invoke them in any public sphere."[8] But as a Supreme Court Justice in the 1960s, Marshall told fellow Justice William O. Douglas in a conversation about racial preferences: "You [white] guys have been practicing discrimination for years. Now it's our turn."[9]
Today, the NAACP supports racial gerrymandering, "a system whereby Congressional voting districts are drawn along racial rather than geographic lines, so as to ensure the election of black representatives in those districts."[10] Furthermore, it favors redistributive economic policies both at home and abroad. According to the NAACP, it is "dedicated to closing the gap of disparities faced by people of color across the globe by promoting fair and equitable human rights and economic justice."[11]
In October 2004, after several complaints were filed, the Internal Revenue Service investigated the NAACP's tax-exempt status. The IRS said the NAACP may have violated the restrictions on political activity when it "distributed statements in opposition of George W. Bush for the office of the presidency."[12] By law, a tax-exempt organization cannot show support or disapproval of any political campaign. Despite this apparent violation, following a short-lived investigation, the IRS dismissed the charges.[13]
Voting RightsThe NAACP opposes voter ID laws, claiming they are really efforts to disfranchise minority voters.
The NAACP often uses incendiary rhetoric to oppose voter integrity measures. NAACP President Benjamin Jealous has, for example, compared voter ID laws to now defunct Jim Crow laws that promoted legal racial discrimination.[14] Jealous has also charged that voter ID laws enacted since 2010 are a racial backlash against the 2008 election of President Barack Obama and that these laws stemmed from "the worst and most racial elements" of the Tea Party.[15]
In an effort to quell voter ID laws, and to present its opinion on democratically enacted state-level voter integrity measures, the NAACP set up the "2012 This is My Vote" web site.[16] On this web site, the NAACP claims that "[v]oting rights are under attack. Our nation is in the midst of the most aggressive attempt to roll back voting rights in over a century."[17]
In its list of talking points, the NAACP makes multiple dramatic and unsubstantiated claims. According to the NAACP web site:
- "In 2011, America saw an unprecedented and coordinated attack on access to the ballot box, an attack likely to dampen voter participation among African-Americans, other minorities, younger voters and the elderly."[18]
- "The greatest coordinated legislative attack on voting rights since the dawn of Jim Crow more than a hundred years ago was in response to record turnout among minority voters in the 2008 elections."[19]
- "New voter identification laws are nothing but reincarnated poll taxes and literacy tests, designed to disproportionately suppress the voting numbers of people of color."[20]
State legislators, however, say the sole purpose of voter ID laws are to combat vote fraud and have nothing to do with race or voter suppression. For example, in July 2012, Texas attorneys defended their state's new voter ID laws against U.S. Department of Justice complaints saying, "photo identification at the polls is needed to combat a culture of election fraud plaguing the state."[23] Likewise, in a court filing, South Carolina's attorney general explained that its state's elected officials passed a 2011 voter ID measure "for the purposes of preventing instances of voter fraud at the poll and enhancing public confidence in the integrity of the electoral process."[24]
United Nations DelegationIn March 2012, a NAACP delegation met with officials from the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland to complain "that a co-ordinated legislative attempt is being made by states across America to disfranchise millions of black and Latino voters in November's presidential election."[25] The stated purpose of the NAACP delegation's visit was to "call on the UN body to launch a formal investigation into the spread of restrictive electoral laws, particularly in southern states."[26] Hilary Shelton, NAACP Washington, D.C. bureau director, explained "we do want the council to come in and observe, to see what's going on in the United States and have that outside look in, that fresh perspective on this disenfranchising processes, to do a report that will be shared with the United States so we could utilize it in a very informed way."[27]
However, in June 2012, a delegation from Project 21 (a project of the National Center for Public Policy Research) met with UN assistant secretary for human right Ivan Simonovic and another UN official at UN headquarters in New York City. They were informed that the UN has no intentions of investigating American elections per the NAACP's demands.[28] According to Project 21 member Horace Cooper, "[t]he NAACP's misleading claim that the U.N. was somehow concerned about voter ID laws in America was proved to be bogus. Not only is the Human Rights Council not treating the matter seriously, but they weren't even really aware of the NAACP's meeting."[29]
Attacks Against the Tea PartyIn July 2010, the NAACP approved a resolution condemning what it called "racist elements" within the Tea Party.[30] Charges of racism against the Tea Party circulated after African-American congressmen said they were heckled, spat at, and assailed with racial slurs by Tea Party supporters during a demonstration at the U.S. Capitol. As of September 2010, there is no video evidence to validate these claims.
In fact, journalist Andrew Breitbart has offered a $100,000 reward for video evidence of a Tea Party member using racial epithets at this rally.[31] Despite hundreds of cameras and recording devices around, as of September 2010, the reward remains unclaimed. The NAACP demanded that Tea Party officials "expel the bigots and racists or take responsibility for their actions."[32] Tea Party officials reminded the NAACP that they failed to encourage "civilize discourse when Republicans were in the White House."[33] They also accused the NAACP of being "professional race-baiters."[34] The NAACP made an illogical leap from accusing a few Tea Party members of racist remarks to accusing the entire movement of being racist.
Project 21, a national network of black conservatives and an initiative of the National Center for Public Policy Research, compiled statements from African-Americans who condemned the NAACP's attacks against the Tea Party. On July 17, 2010, Deneen Borelli, a Project 21 Fellow, debated NAACP Senior Vice President, Hilary Shelton, on Fox News' "America's Newsroom."[35] During the debate, Shelton claimed that he had attended a Tea Party event and witnessed racism.[36] The National Center for Public Policy Research discovered that a few days before, Shelton had in fact stated on national television that he had never been to a Tea Party event.[37] Borelli charged the NAACP with playing the "race card," calling the NAACP's resolution a "last-ditch effort to push their (NAACP) agenda for plantation politics."[38]
FundingThe NAACP has received funding from the AT&T Foundation,[39] the Bauman Family Foundation,[40] the Carnegie Corporation of New York,[41] the Annie E. Casey Foundation,[42] the Freddie Mac Foundation,[43] the Ford Foundation,[44] the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,[45] the JEHT Foundation,[46] the Joyce Foundation,[47] the W.K. Kellogg Foundation,[48] the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation,[49] the Open Society Institute,[50] the David and Lucile Packard Foundation,[51] the Rockefeller Foundation,[52] the Sara Lee Foundation,[53] the Scherman Foundation,[54] the Verizon Foundation,[55] the Tides Foundation[56] and Boeing.[57]
In the 2010-11 fiscal year, the National Education Association (the largest labor union in the United States) donated $25,000 to the NAACP.[58]

Depo-Provera - I was thinking about getting off the depo but was wondering if my periods will go?

Responses (2)
I have been off Depo 14 months now, having been on it for around 17 years.
My periods came back after about 3 months, but were very erratic & got heavier as time went on. Over the 17 years I've had a couple of breaks off Depo, & this has been the same problem, each time. Doctors tried D&Cs, but they would only lighten the periods for a short while, & then they returned to being heavy & almost constant.
The only thing that has worked for me, is a natural tincture called Agnus Castus. I take it in water/cordial each day, & it has settled my periods into a pattern & they are no longer heavy. Milk Thistle has also worked for me to prevent heavy, clotting periods. I was very sceptical, but now couldn't be without the A. Castus, although no longer need the Milk Thistle.
Everyone is different, but at least these options might be worth a try, should you find your periods return to the way they were.
Hope that helps x
where can u buy the angnus castus.thanks
Hi there
Amazon is where I get mine from, but most health stores tend to sell it.
I buy the 'A. Vogel' brand.
Hope that helps.

Many people see a "soul" in the bible as the what the Greeks saw it as. The "Ancient Greeks used the same word for 'alive' as for 'ensouled', indicating that the earliest surviving western philosophical view found the terms soul"(wikepedia)
The bible never refers to the soul as a dualistic definition.
THe bible claims that God made the body from "dust"and his"breath" and that made a "living soul" which means a living person.
I tried to find more information in the comments but no explanation was forthcoming. So I'll just use this round for acceptance and wait for Pro's opening argument to get a better handle on what he wants to debate.
nadlor1 forfeited this round.
Nadlor has forfeited. I'll make a brief case for the duality of soul and body.
When Adam became a "living soul," that does not mean he became a soul when he started living. All living humans have a soul. The soul is created when the human is, at fertilization. However Adam's creation was different. He was not conceived in the normal way; he was made from the dust of the earth. Therefore God had to breathe breath into his nostrils for him to live otherwise he couldn't survive. When he started living he had a soul.
Paul taught that our soul is separate from our body. In 2 Corinthians 5: 6-8 that while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord. But we will be pleased to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. Also, Jesus gave the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, who were dead and in the afterlife, Lazarus in Abraham's bosom and the rich man in Hades. Then when the Lord returns, the dead in Christ will be raised first (1 Thessalonians 4:16). Our soul will live on while our body is buried in the Earth, and at the end of time we will be raised to live in the new Heaven and new Earth.
Anyway, as Pro has forfeited please vote Con.
In Ecclesiastes 12:7. it says "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." So this means that"The body turns to dust again, and the spirit goes back to God, who gave it. The spirit of every person who dies--whether righteous or wicked--returns to God at death."(Amazing).
So let's see what the spirit is in a biblical view.
"The body without the spirit ["breath," ] is dead." James 2:26. "The spirit of God ["the breath which God gave him," is in my nostrils." Job 27:3.so this means that "The spirit that returns to God at death is the breath of life. Nowhere in all of God's book does the "spirit" have any life, wisdom, or feeling after a person dies. It is the "breath of life" and nothing more."(Amazing).
And no where in the bible does it refer spirit as "soul".
So again what is a soul.."And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7.
the soul is body plus breath.So I say again that the soul only lives with two things.Body(dust) and Spirit(breath of Life).
The soul can die though "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:20."According to God's Word, souls do die! We are souls, and souls die. Man is mortal (Job 4:17)."(Amazing).
Now I will show my opponents errors.
1."Paul taught that our soul is separate from our body. In 2 Corinthians 5: 6-8 that while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord. But we will be pleased to be absent from the body and present with the Lord."
"Paul knew the Corinthians would not be confused by his language in 2 Corinthians 5 about mortality being swallowed up by immortality, because he had already written his first epistle to them explaining when that immortality would be put on. "… in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump… this mortal must put on immortality. THEN shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." 1 Corinthians 15:52-54. When would death or mortality be "swallowed up?" "THEN," Paul said. When is THEN? "In the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump." How can anyone stumble over the plain language of these verses?"Paul was longing for that change from the earthly mortal body to the glorious immortal body. He stated that the change would take place on the resurrection-translation day. His chief hope seemed to center upon being translated without ever being "unclothed" in death. He yearned to "be clothed upon" by translation at the coming of Jesus, so that he be not found "naked" (in the grave). Translation would mean that mortality would be "swallowed up of life."
Nevertheless, he hastened to express confidence, as we have just pointed out, in the certainty of a resurrection when death would be swallowed up in victory (1 Corinthians 15:54). In either case, whether by translation or resurrection, he would be "clothed upon" with the immortal body. Either mortality would be "swallowed up" by being translatedor death would be "swallowed up" by being resurrected.
Paul does not linger over the "unclothed" state, because his hopes rested in the new body to be received at Christ's coming. He could not be "forever with the Lord" until that change took place "in the twinkling of an eye." The interim sleep of death in the grave held no appeal for Paul, since it would seem but a fractional second of utter oblivion to the one who died. Looking beyond the uninviting nakedness of death to the land of life, Paul ruled out any possibility of a state between death and the resurrection when disembodied spirits could be present with the Lord. "(Amazing).
2.Also, Jesus gave the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, who were dead and in the afterlife, Lazarus in Abraham's bosom and the rich man in Hades. Then when the Lord returns, the dead in Christ will be raised first (1 Thessalonians 4:16).
"Jesus "said to them, 'Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.' Then His disciples said, 'Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.' However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. Then Jesus said to them plainly, 'Lazarus is dead.'" (John 11:11-14 NKJV).
He also said, "This is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day" (John 6:39).
Jesus says the dead really are dead. They are not yet in heaven, nor are they yet in hell. They are "asleep," awaiting the resurrection "at the last day."(Amazing).
Although this may be long this explains what truly what the bible teaches.Throughout the whole bible the soul counts as mortal.And if the soul is consider the spirit then why does it say the soul will surely perish.
So i conclude that soul means person and not the duality of ancient Greeks.It may seem hard to understand but in the early church of christians,the church adopted paganism."Over time, as Christianity spread throughout the Hellenic world, and with a number of church leaders having been educated in Greek philosophy there was a fusion of the two modes of thought.
One early Christian writer of the 2nd and early 3rd century, Clement of Alexandria, demonstrated the assimilation of Greek thought in writing: "Philosophy has been given to the Greeks as their own kind of Covenant, their foundation for the philosophy of Christ... the philosophy of the Greeks... contains the basic elements of that genuine and perfect knowledge which is higher than human... even upon those spiritual objects."(wikepedia).
Therefore, dualism was never taught in the Bible until the early paganistic christians.
Pro claims that I have misinterpreted some verses but I will argue that it is, indeed, Pro who has demonstrated a lack of understanding of Biblical verses. As this is the last round, I will not offer any new arguments. I will simply respond to Pro's arguments.
Pro uses Ecclesiastes 12:7, but this works in my favor. As I explained, the body and soul are separate. The body rots away here on Earth while the spirit, the soul, returns to God.
Pro also misinterprets James 2:26. The "spirit" is not the breath. James is saying what is in accordance to my position, that the spirit (soul) is what gives the body life. They are separate. The body without the soul (or spirit) is dead.
In fact, Pro is completely misrepresenting the Bible and misquoting these verses. We are warned throughout Scripture not to add to the words of God. Job 27:3 says "As long as my breath is in me, and the breath of God in my nostrils..." Read the verse in its surrounding context. Job is saying, "as long as I'm alive, I still speak no wickedness or deceit," etc. Pro is completely misrepresenting the Bible.
I have already shown why Adam became "a living soul" in my previous round. A human has a soul when they begin life. We begin life at fertilization so we get our soul then. Adam was not conceived like a normal human, so God had to breathe breath into him (because he needs oxygen to survive), so as soon as he began living he had a soul.
Yes, souls can, technically, die. The Bible talks about two deaths, the physical death (where the soul is separated from the body), and the spiritual death (where a soul who dies in their sins is separated from God eternally, sentenced to Hell). (Hebrews 9:27, Revelation 20:14, Revelation 21:8).
Regarding his rebuttals to my previous round arguments:
1. This does not negate my argument. Our bodies are mortal but our souls are immortal. As I explained, there is a second death in which souls die (they are separated from God eternally). The way we "put on immortality" is to trust in Christ for our salvation, because only then can we avoid the second death and be truly immortal.
2. Again, Pro has misrepresented the Bible. The Lazarus in Jesus' parable was different from Jesus' friend Lazarus. The Lazarus in the parable is found in Luke 16, and Jesus' friend Lazarus who died was in John 11. Jesus told a parable, which was a fictional account to express a spiritual truth. Now, some do believe that the story of Lazarus and the rich man actually did happen (one piece of evidence being that Lazarus was named specifically, and in no other parables did Jesus use a specific man's name). Even if the account of Lazarus and the rich man was non-fictional, this is still a different person.
Jesus' friend Lazarus died and was dead for four days. By saying that Lazarus was "asleep," He was not saying that all dead people sleep until the resurrection. Jesus was going to raise Lazarus up! So in a way Lazarus was sleeping, because, as Jesus said, "I go that I may wake Him up." Lazarus was not going to remain dead, so in a way, He was only sleeping.
Finally, pointing to Clement of Alexandria (and he did not source this, so I have no idea in which work Clement would have written this) is simply an appeal to authority. Let the words of the Bible speak for themselves, and I believe that the meaning is quite clear that there is a body that is alive only insofar as the spirit (or soul) still dwells in it, and once dead the spirit goes to God and the body dies.

It's been a strange two weeks. While I've been productive in the sense of book plotting, I've been too exhausted and busy to get to my other creative outlets. I'm behind on everything. Emails piled up, and the to-do list is overflowing. Self-employment is a 24/7 peddling job that never really ends, but some of the backlog will clear and I'll be back to normal by the end of the month.
I knew this part of the curve would happen, there's a little discouragement and frustration, and a dent in the optimism.
While I realize its temporary and has a lot to do with the shift in scheduling, creative timing, and summer needs, it's still tiring. The last two weeks have also been quite hot for the area, so I've tried to shift up my writing window to earlier mornings and evenings, then siesta in the middle of the day with low energy work so I don't overheat.
Me and my farmer's market partner, Mabelyn of MB Botanicals, have signed up to do the Manzanita farmers market a few times before the season ends to test it out. The Tillamook market has been so good to us, that it's worth taking the show in the road. This is great news, but also a lot of prep and extra energy. Still, it's temporary as the season ends at the end of September. Then I'll need to find a different venue through the winter.
On the writing note, I'm making satisfying progress. In the realm of website upkeep, business marketing, and creativity, there's a lot to get done. I need to transfer my web hosting service and refurbish the site, but it's tough to do when I have access to internet an hour at a time only a few days a week.
Some upward notes are that my plans for sustainability before my 40th birthday are well under way. You can read more about that in the 39th note to self.
I'm also happy to announce that I booked three more classes through the Tillamook Library system. I'll be teaching Beginning Self-Publishing, and Advanced Self-Publishing in Pacific City, and Manzanita. I'll post the dates soon.
Also on the workshop plans is a day conference in Manzanita at the Hoffman Center with Jessica Morrell at the end of September. More on that to come as well. I hope when my website transfer is completed, I'll be able to have a calendar of events on the main page.
August has felt baked, a little overcooked and stagnant. It will break up and get moving again soon, but until then, I'm hunkered down to finish act two of Scold of Jays, so I can bust into Act 3 come September. That will keep me on track to get Scold of Jays out for beta by then of September, so I can start prepping for Nanowrimo, and the next book in the series! This year's Nanowrimo will be all about book 4 and a chance to super-charge the story arc. I'm so excited!!
How excited you ask? Well, I'm so excited about Nanowrimo this year that I'm already prepping the cook and freeze menu to work on through October. I'm currently cleaning out my freezer, rotating through the old stuff and making room for frozen nano meals. I'm funneling development notes, pin boards, and glossary info as I write Scold of Jays, to be able to pick up a development package for book 4 November 1st, and start burning through 50K words in count for a 30-day writing binge.
If I schedule it correctly, I'll have Scold of Jays in developmental editing while I'm writing and blocking book 4, so that December-May, the manuscripts can alternate through beta, developmental, and polish and hopefully publish about six months apart. Crossing fingers. It will all depend on cash flow and timing, so hoping for the best.
The title of book 4 will be release to my Patrons in December! Patrons will get the first glimpses of development and plotting, as well as two early release chapters from Scold of Jays.
So even though August feels a bit down, things are happening, life is trucking along, and rhythms are adjusting. Knowing this was part of the curve makes it a little easier. Knowing it will pick back up and smooth out makes all the hopeful difference.
In the meantime, please be patient with my slow updates, and direction shifts. Hopefully, everything will be back on track by September.
