You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader: How Anyone, Anywhere Can Make a Positive Difference
Develop your genuine leadership ability when you understand that true leadership is not a function of title. Learn how to exercise little "l" leadership through developing power with people. This leadership presentation is based on Mark Sanborn's best-selling business book of the same name.
The Encore Effect: How to Give a Remarkable Performance in Anything You Do
A remarkable performance on stage commands an encore. The Encore Effect—Mark Sanborn's latest, high impact presentation—teaches you how to achieve the kind of extraordinary performance on the job that leaves your customers, colleagues, and community clamoring for more.
Up, Down, or Sideways: How to Succeed All the Time
Most organizations and individuals have a kneejerk reaction to changing economic conditions. They behave differently in recessions than during boom times by cutting or curtailing the activities that are most important for future success. They act even differently when the economy is moving sideways, often becoming complacent with mediocre performance. The problem? These changes in practices and attitudes are inconsistent and ill timed. Companies like this are playing catch up rather than leading and are whiplashed by significant changes in their markets and the economy.

Coffee Bay is untouched as the rest of the Wild Coast area - beautiful and untouched by modern rush. 4x4 will be a wise decision.

Glengarrif - unfound gem
Glengarriff is the perfect destination for anyone who wants to forget about the hum drum of every day life and wake up to stunning views as only the Wild Coast can deliver. Weather is not always great but even on windy days you can take a short trip to Gonubi or East London for some shopping.

Beautiful spot on the Wild Coast
Qora River Mouth is a beautiful spot on the Wild Coast. Very much unspoilt and with plenty of space for everyone. Not too many people adventure there, perhaps because of the road condition (unpaved) or because they don't know about it.

Stage 3 (AIDS) is the most advanced stage of HIV. It can be a life-threatening condition if left untreated.
If you are someone you know is experiencing HIV or Stage 3 (AIDS) symptoms, UNM Truman Health Services can help. We are committed to limiting the progression of HIV through patient-centered care.
What Are the Causes Stage 3 (AIDS)?
There is only one cause of Stage 3 (AIDS): HIV. HIV is a virus transmitted through semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, and blood. When HIV infection occurs, it multiplies in the body. Without medical intervention, the virus will continue to multiply and damage the immune system.
Understanding Stage 3 (AIDS) and What Causes Symptoms
Stage 3 (AIDS) stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. The condition can be understood by taking apart the name:
- Acquired: This means that you are not born with Stage 3 (AIDS). Stage 3 (AIDS) can only develop if HIV goes untreated.
- Immunodeficiency: This refers to the state of the immune system when an individual has acquired Stage 3 (AIDS). HIV is a virus that significantly damages the immune system. In its most progressed stage, HIV makes the immune system deficient and unable to protect the body from opportunistic infections.
- Syndrome: This refers to the medical term for the condition. Stage 3 (AIDS) is not a disease. It is a collection of symptoms and signs that result from HIV infection.
When a person is first infected with HIV, they may not present any symptoms. If the virus has progressed to Stage 3 (AIDS), there are multiple symptoms a person may experience. Stage 3 (AIDS) symptoms include diarrhea, extreme tiredness, persistent lymph node swelling, rapid weight loss, and skin discoloration.
The only way to know if you are experiencing Stage 3 (AIDS) symptoms is to know your HIV status.
Stage 3 (AIDS) is Treatable
If you know what causes Stage 3 (AIDS), the development of Stage 3 (AIDS) is 100% preventable. Medical treatment of HIV can stop the progress of the virus, protecting you from developing opportunistic infections. UNM Truman Health Services can connect you with doctors who specialize in HIV-related care to help you set up an effective medication regimen.
Contact Us for HIV Treatment
At UNM Truman Health Services, we are committed to providing our patients access to the latest medical, behavioral, and complementary therapies for HIV. Our goal is to help you reach an undetectable status. If you believe you may need HIV treatment, contact us today to schedule a free HIV test.

Jesus, fuck. I shouldn't have watched that.
Even after its companion got shot, the other one wouldn't run because it thought the human was its friend.
Fuck that asshole with a chainsaw.
Old People
Do we know what these innocent dogs of peace did to deserve such treatment? The description on the youtube video is noticeably vague on that point.
infinite zest
Ugh. It gets worse. Reading a few youtube comments, I sort of assumed it was past of a stakeout, like the dogs were trained to protect the suspect and were behaving violently, etc. but NOPE. A neighbor called 911 because two pit bulls were loose. And the one that was shot was 6 months old.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought for cases like this they wait to get animal experts. I understand the potential fear for two big dogs roarming around, but it's not necessarily like "there's someone in my house with a gun right now" sort of call. In fact, I thought that in animal emergencies, cops or fire department or whoever weren't allowed to carry standard firearms, just tranquilizers. I don't know. I'd like to see the whole video released. As hard as it was for me to watch this, I'd like to see if there was any earlier provocation, because this isn't any different than me killing an outdoor house cat because it started following me.
Not watching this, but it's pretty standard procedure for cops to murder dogs in cold blood for no good reason, from Ruby Ridge clear on up to that dog who recently got shot in Chicago in front of her six-year-old owner. It may even be a law at this point: if thou art a cop, thou SHALT shoot every dog thou seest, for verily they might elsewise bite thee.
Old People
I don't know the story that led to this incident, but I do know that users of this site seem to have a knee-jerk resentment of law enforcement. Google "dog attacks on police" to get a sense of the other side to this coin.
I was on a routine job with the Fire Dept, a CO alarm & odor of smoke at a suburban residence, when the owner's German Shepard lunged at me in a corridor. It tried to bite my leg and got a mouthful of my turnout gear. I was carrying the irons, and gave the animal a smart bop on the head with the butt of the axe. It retreated and its owner managed to retain control of it; the man then called me a "coward" and threatened a lawsuit. I told him to go right ahead and report me to the officer on scene, but I guess he never got around to it. I was shaking like a leaf afterwards, and I'm damn glad that I was effectively armored when this innocent and helpless animal decided to give me some love nips.
Dogs are like people in that they have a range of personalities, usually dependent on how they've been raised. As with a person, if they display aggressive behavior they should be dealt with accordingly. I'd really like to know the backstory around any shooting before I go calling for the cop's head.
The Great Hippo
Old People, if people here seem to have a knee-jerk resentment of law enforcement, that might just be because law enforcement regularly escalates to violence -- up to and including fatal violence -- in situations when violence is not necessary.
It sucks that that happened to you; it sounds very shitty. That's not what's happening in this video, though, and no background beyond 'the dogs had rabies' is going to be sufficient to justify it.
That dog *bit* you, and you *didn't* kill him. If a fireman, who actually does have a statistically dangerous job, and who is not presumably trained to handle situations like that, can implement an effective non-lethal solution to an actual attack, then surely a cop should be able to deal with a harmless puppy without escalating the ROE and shooting it in the face?
infinite zest
Yeah. I used to live next to this guy with a big rottweiler and she scared the shit out of me: all through the night I'd just hear "bang bang bang" on the door (protip: Don't own a big dog if you live in a tiny apartment.) Anyway I'd be out in the hallway as we had community showers and sometimes the dog was just out there, barking away at me until the owner came. If the dog had charged at me and I was cornered, I honestly can't say what I would've done to protect myself. If I left the community door open or something and she went outside, I probably would've called the cops too, A.) because it was a busy street and B.) because there were a lot of children around too.
And that's all that happened here. Two pet pitbulls got out and were roaming the streets and a neighbor called the cops. Like I said I'd like to see the whole thing, and any prior incidents that may have led to the officer's decision, but this seems pretty cut and dry: if the dogs were aggressive, they would've made a move immediately after the officer made the sounds. They were just walking into what looks like a pretty good spot for their capture and return.
I don't understand.
Old People
Reminds me of Guy Young from Eastbound and Down: "LOOK at me!"

http://www.myfoxdfw.com/story/26818734/dog-owners-dispute-offi cers-account-of-shooting-pit-bull-to-death
"I raised my duty weapon to the ready position – pointed at the growling dog's head. As soon as I lifted my pistol, the dog began coming up the hill, continuing to growl and display its teeth… I fired three shots at it."
yes, because dogs know what firearms are and what it means to have something pointed at them
Adham Nu'man
Not defending this guy's actions in any way, but when I was a kid I had a toy gun (which didn't shoot anything) and I pointed at a non-aggressive dog that was about 20 meters away and that fucker went batshit insane and came right for me.
That guy
I'm not defending the cop who's probably lying but, fluffy:
Billy the Poet
Feed that fucking pig to a dog.
Yep, fuck this. Once again calling out to Boomer: DON'T WATCH THIS BUDDY
What the fuck do you have to do to get fired as a cop?
Beside ratting on another cop.
That's pretty much it.
No, come on, this doesn't happen.
their fucking tails were wagging...
Tail wagging in dogs is a sign of excitement, not friendly intent. Watch a bit of YouTube's wonderful assortment of dog attack videos and you'll see plenty of them with dogs wagging away as they maul the living hell out of someone.
It depends on the posture; stiffer and higher can signify aggression, limper and lower signify fear or submission. Happy dogs are usually somewhere in between, but you have to look at the whole body posture.
Walking while Pit Bull.
Not watching this. :-(
Are you legally justified in shooting a man if it's to protect your dog from being murdered?
How as the cop supposed to know the dog didn't have a gun?
American Standard
Refuse to watch this. Cops are trash.
Well, the dog was brown.
Case closed, go back to your homes. Officer Dogkillski, 2 weeks paid vacation for your brave and heroic actions.
I hope that cop gets his fingers chopped off in a car accident.

December 20, 2015 – From this United States city that is always the venue for countless major boxing events, Las Vegas was again in the spotlight for staging the 2015 Miss Universe Pageant in a night of glitz, glamour and unfortunately, controversy.
Mr. Steve Harvey, the pageant's host mistakenly proclaimed Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo as the pageant's winner and after a few minutes, bravely yet in all humility admitted that he has made an honest mistake in announcing the true winner of Miss Universe 2015. Thus, an innocently stunned Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, claims her title.
It is a given fact and truth that in any live television show, anything can happen, either good or bad. It is also true that nobody is perfect and we are bound to commit mistakes, honest mistakes, just like what happened to Mr. Steve Harvey. However, we salute Mr. Harvey for facing the horrible situation he has caused in front of everybody on the planet, so to speak. He even showed the card bearing the names of who is Second, First Runners up and the new Miss Universe.
We at Kabayan in Kuwait, try to understand the shock and possible hate from the Colombians and maybe, the Latin American population over this unfortunate incident, because Colombia is a regional sister country, whereas the Philippines is in Asia.
But we appeal to everyone to be calm; Filipinos like us can rejoice for as long as we want but we can also wish Miss Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo all the blessings that may come her way after yesterday's pageant.
The Philippines' first Miss Universe winner was Gloria Diaz in 1969 and second, Margarita Moran in 1973. Runners – up are as follows;
1963 – Third Runner-up Lalaine Bennett / 1975 – Fourth Runner-up Rose Marie Brosas / 1980 – Third Runner-up Chat Silayan / 1984 – Third Runner-up Desiree Verdadero / 1994 – Top 6 Finalist Charlene Gonzales / 1999 – First Runner-up Miriam Quiambao / 2010 – Fourth Runner-up Venuz Raj / 2011 – Third Runner-up Shamcey Supsup / 2012 – First Runner-up Janine Tugonon and 2013 – Third Runner-up Ariella Arida.

Canadian Blood Services' Progress Report Shows a Decade of National Collaboration Is Working to Save More Lives
OTTAWA, ON--(Marketwired - September 09, 2016) - Canadian Blood Services alongside partners in the Canadian Organ Donation and Transplant Network have released a report detailing a decade's worth of data on national organ donation and transplantation performance. The Organ Donation and Transplantation in Canada: System Progress Report 2006-2015 includes the most current Canadian statistics on deceased and living donation and transplantation performance. Produced in collaboration with national, provincial and territorial partners, the report examines donation rates, transplant rates, access to transplants across the country and how transplantation benefits patients and health-care systems.
"While we are starting to see the benefits of collaboration in programs and services for patients, there is still variability in access to organs among jurisdictions," said Dr. Graham D. Sher, chief executive officer of Canadian Blood Services. "With the consistent implementation of factors that contribute to high performance, there is opportunity to establish a world-class organ donation and transplantation system in Canada -- one where patients have equal access to transplants regardless of where they live."
The report shows that Canada is getting closer to its system performance goals and that there is a lot of evidence to support building on the momentum in Canada to further advance organ donation and transplantation.
Between 2006 and 2015, the number of transplants increased by 23 per cent, but Canada still has a shortage of organs with approximately 4,600 patients currently waiting.
"An organ transplant provides far better health outcomes for many patients when compared to other therapies like kidney dialysis," said Dr. Peter Nickerson, Vice-Dean (Research) and Distinguished Professor, Flynn Family Chair in Renal Transplantation, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba and medical advisor, Canadian Blood Services. "For example, a kidney transplant can double the life expectancy of a patient with end stage kidney disease, and increase their quality of life."
Transplants not only provide patients with far better health outcomes, they generate economic benefits for health systems.
Both deceased and living donors can donate organs. According to the report, deceased organ donation is at an all-time high in Canada, with B.C., Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia leading the way.
"Because provinces with the largest populations are also some of the highest-performing deceased organ donation systems, a majority of Canadians have a much greater chance of receiving an organ transplant," said Dr. Sam Shemie, Division of Critical Care, Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University Health Centre, Professor of Pediatrics, McGill University and medical advisor, Canadian Blood Services. "One reason for Canada's growing rate is an increasing number of donations after circulatory death and the establishment of related programs in many provinces."
Report highlights
Canada's provinces are at different stages of implementation of these key factors, which is contributing to variation in deceased donation rates.
About the collaboration
This report was produced in collaboration with national, provincial and territorial partners, including critical care, organ donation programs, transplant programs, national organizations like the Canadian Institute for Health Information, The Canadian Institutes of Health Research and other research partners including The Canadian National Transplant Research Program, Canadian Society for Transplantation, and health charities. This powerful group of partners is linked and focused on collaboration and leadership to improve donation and transplantation in Canada. Known collectively as the Canadian Donation and Transplant Network, members are ongoing partners in improvement and through the Organ Donation and Transplantation Expert Advisory Committee, have produced this first national progress report.
The research community plays a central role in developing, informing and advancing leading practices in this field. Research is foundational to system improvement and innovation. Canada has a history of world-class transplantation research thanks to the efforts of investigators and institutions that contribute at the national and international levels.
The Canadian donation and transplantation network would also like to acknowledge and honour the donors and donor families who have given their most precious gift. The collaborators on this report also acknowledge the thousands of patients in need of a transplant and those who have died waiting.
Canadian Blood Services collaborates with health systems to report on performance as part of its ongoing role in organ donation and transplantation. It maintains national patient programs and services for organ listing and organ sharing, and the Canadian Transplant Registry. Working with governments, academics, health professionals and health administrators, Canadian Blood Services continues to develop a more coordinated and integrated system for organ listing and allocation across the country. It also plays a leadership role in national programs for professional education, leading practices and knowledge translation for clinical practice, and in public education and awareness initiatives.

You can also choose to travel by bus as they are available in all the major centres. A bus service company known as the Greyhound Canada provides bus services and stops by at all the locations. You can also try from the other services such as the Red Arrow which runs between the cities of Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Jasper, Banff and Calgary.
By Rail
The sole passenger rail service in Alberta is the VIA Rail. It travels all the way to Edmonton from British Columbia, Vancouver, Saskatoon and Saskatchewan. However, no passenger rail services are offered in Calgary.
If you are willing to spend your next summer vacation in Canada, Alberta Travel is the best option for you with the highest amount of sunshine and the scenic natural beauty that you will be able to cherish throughout your stay. Apart from the sceneries, you will be able to indulge in a wide range of outdoor activities such as caving, mountain biking, fishing, hiking, horse riding, rafting and wildlife viewing.

I can't take much more
I haven't written for a while and before that I didn't write much either so you may just assume that I'm new. I never used this forum as I intended to when I made my account, and never made any friends (guess you can be asocial even on the web). This was basically my failed attempt on trying to fix myself up.
I have suffered from social anxiety for a long time and for about one and a half years I have been dealing with a struggle that I am unable to talk about, which caused me to develop obsessive/anxious/paranoid thoughts. The cause for this is physical, and something I have absolutely no control over. Some days it kills me every second over and over again (I really don't want to dramatize, since that's not my style, but it is hard). It is better now, like it has been better many times before and every time it got worse again. I'm scared that one day I won't be able to get up again (metaphorically; I am not ill or anything).
For about two weeks now I've been completely drained of energy/mentally tired and generally feeling quite hopeless. I'm scared of the future, and I am afraid I might have reached the boundary where I won't be able to take anymore.
I have found myself indirectly reaching out for attention as I am not able to console anyone directly and really quite unable to talk about anything beneath the surface.
Then there is all those pragmatic struggles of choosing schools and stuff (it-is-your-f*ing-future-hey-isn't-that-exciting) and I have good reasons to assume that I will become a social outcast again. I have a lot of plans for the future; too many to ever make all of them come true. I value knowledge, I really do, and learn is all I have been doing to keep myself from falling apart. I know there's more. I know there's a life out there but I'm finding myself unable to take it. I'm just a teenager (15) and I have heard more than enough lectures about hormones and how it will all get better. But I'm simply tired and I need someone to talk to; not a psychologist or anyone connected directly to my life, as the effects of talking to such people will, I'm afraid, be too much to bear.

Dave Miller's book
Dave Miller's book, Richland Hills and Instrumental Music: A Plea to Reconsider, deserves a fair hearing by anyone who would like to think through this issue.
Dave is a good friend, a careful student, and well-qualified to deal with this discussion. Thanks to Paul Sain and the brethren at Pulaski, thousands of copies have been distributed quite widely. They need to be.
Miller's handling of the disciples teaching in the Temple is worth the price of the book.
We are to buy the truth, and truth is not always cheap. It is easy for people to accommodate the popular in our culture and not ask the harder question: what does God will? You see, it costs to do what is right rather than what is popular.
Go to apologeticspress.org to find out more about Dave. Books will available quite widely.
With thanks to Dave Miller,

What the autonomous Richland Hills Church of Christ does under the leadership of its elders is really between them and God, is it not? If we are autonomous, then why are folks trying to tell their leadership how to lead? Or could it be that we are not really as autonomous as we have led folks to believe in times past?
It seems that the prevailing idea here is that a church can be under the oversight of their elders as long as their elders line up with the prescribed orthodoxy and when they do not, then it is time to throw autonomy out the window!
- Matthew said...
Dave taught me at Brown Trail School of Preaching. He is a great man. I truly respected him. Also, I picked up your book "Let the Heavens be Silence." Did not know you wrote a book about this stuff. Looking forward to studying it. Thank you for your ministry and letting me know about Dave's book. I will check that out too.
Also, I have written some stuff about Spirituality in my blog. Give it a check out too.
- Phil Sanders said...
Dear Anonymous,
I certainly believe in the autonomy of each congregation and the right of elders to oversee their congregations in matters of expediency.
The problem with this situation is that Rick has sent a book to every congregation in the country arguing FOR instrumental music. He is the one who has made this a brotherhood-wide issue.
I don't expect any eldership to line up with my opinions. I do expect them to obey the Lord's teaching on music, the Lord's Supper, and every other matter.
When they rebel and ask everyone to join in their sinful behavior, it is indeed time to speak.
- Phil Sanders said...
the book is Let All the Earth Keep Silence. I want the Lord to speak and to be quiet enough to hear when He does so.
God bless you, my friend, I still think we need to have lunch soon.
So Brother Phil, are you not going to allow any more comments on this thread? Just wondering...
- Phil Sanders said...
Dear Anonymous,
I will happily allow fair-minded and signed comments. I don't appreciate cowardly anonymous posts that do not edify me or the readers.
If someone wishes to make sarcastic, unfair, or harsh remarks, let them make it on their own blog. This is my blog, and I will publish what I think best.
- preacherman said...
Do you think this will stir up more trouble within the brotherhood? Does is divide the church more than it already is? In what way does this do you see this book help bring unity within the bortherhood Phil? I really want to know.
- Phil Sanders said...
No, I don't. I believe Dave's good book will bring clarity to an issue muddied up by Rick Atchley. What I do not understand is why you think that Atchley's insistence on change to be like the denominations is not divisive. We've had unity on this subject until he and others started sending out sermons, articles, and other information encouraging unsettling views. Who has caused this rift. Not us.
Further, we have an obligaiton to speak out the truth and to call error for what it is.
I don't we are creating the division any more than John the Baptist or Jesus caused division by calling men out of sectarian error.
We can all unite in singing. It is the introduction of self-made religion in the form of instrumental music that is causing the division.
I do appreciate your comments on this subject because so many today desire to make good men the bad guys - but that is not anything new -men have been calling good evil and evil good for a long time.
It will refine the church...
Kindly?? Hmmm, what you said didn't seem too kind to me.
You are right about me being a coward. I am not afraid of the issues or of your replies, but frankly I am afraid of what folks on the far right will do to retaliate when someone disagrees with them. I have seen it before and it is ugly. And the tone of your last reply, to me, proves my point. I don't expect you to publish this post and I am through with this. I was hoping we could have an honest dialog but when you feel the need to control what is said, that takes away the chance for honest discussion. But like you said, it is your blog and you can do with it what you wish.
- Phil Sanders said...
I do not publish everything, because I have been the recipient of much anger, bitterness, and hatefulness from the left.
I am not on the far right. I began this blog defending myself from some unfair charges made by the right.
I stand against the introduction of self-made religion on both sides, the far right and the far left. Both groups are reactions to each other.
I have recently been called a Pharisee, a legalist, and consigned to the hot spot in the hereafter by the gracious, loving left. (No one understands grace like them.)
I am interested in everyone hearing the names I have been called, so I don't publish those.
- Kent said...
Brother Phil-
It breaks my heart to hear that you have been called names. Christians should never resort to that over petty disagreements. Even though I do not agree with you I can see that you love the Lord and desire with your heart to follow him. That is more than we can say for most. So, keep up the good work.
The tone of these comments and the tone of this post in general illustrates to me why this book was a bad idea. The fact is that I seriously doubt that this book will sway opinion either way. Those who are against instrumental music made up their minds long ago. Those who do not think it to be wrong made up their minds long ago. For me, we need to be spending our time and our energy on formulating strategies for reaching the lost, as you talked about in a recent post. While we are arguing about this same issue that has been around for over a century now, there are people out there who are not coming to know Jesus. If we could put this argument aside we might actually be able to do something about this. My issue with the book is in the amount of money it cost to write, publish, and mail out. I have no doubt as to the belief of Brother Miller. I am sure he is a fine Christian gentleman and a lover of God. But, it seems to me that that money could have been spent in areas that are more in need than this one.
Thank you for the dialogue. I appreciate your willingness to throw yourself out there even though you know you have those who disagree. I also would encourage all people to approach these discussions with open minds. And approach these issues knowing that people on the other side of the issue from you are not bad people. Rick Atchley is not a bad person. In fact, I know Rick to be a devoted servant of God. I don't know you personally, Phil, but I can see that you love God just as much as Rick and others.
Thank you.
Kent Benfer
- Phil Sanders said...
thank you for a great post, the kind I like to publish. This whole matter is heartbreaking. I am deeply grieved. I could not agree with you more that we need to be evangelizing. The devil is tangling us up with this side issue.
I believe strongly in evangelism, and my evangelism handbook (go to www.God-answers.org to download a copy) is perhaps the best thing I have ever done. I would also point you to the "Upon the Rock" Bible studies. A friend of mine and I are working on a project using these studies now. I will let you know more in the future. Believe me, this is far more where my heart is. This blog was set up to deal with other issues, but my heart is in taking the gospel to a lost and dying world that thinks "whatever" about my Lord. I am deeply concerned with a generation that has no clue about the Lord.
It is disappointing to me that some brethren like Rick are so caught up in pushing popular religion. I am not convinced their way saves that many souls. I can think of a handful of "progressive" congregations in the Nashville area (that permit the instrument in their devotionals) that have not grown significantly. In fact, some have greatly shrunk. So I am not convinced that changing cosmetics is the answer to this dilemma.
Church growth comes through God's blessing, loving people, working hard, and reaching out. You have to get them through the doors, give them something, and follow up.
But no matter how good your efforts, if people do not know the truth and obey it, what have you done???
Thanks again for a good spirit,
- Kent said...
It just seems to me as though we should worry about getting everyone in the door first and then worry about these other issues later on. Once everyone has heard about Jesus, then we can focus on the more peripheral matters. That is my perspective and what I try to focus my congregation on, a congregation that split a year and a half ago because of debates over similar issues.
As for Richland Hills, I would not be so quick to claim that there efforts do not work. They do truly great ministry. They have adopted a local elementary school where many children are in need and they help them. They have a massive community service center where people who are in need in the DFW community can come for help. They are heavily involved in church planting and missions as well. They do great work, the Lord's work. I would dare say that they are introducing more people to Jesus Christ than the vast, vast majority of Churches of Christ are. They are just in a different place than others are in terms of worship. And this was not a decision, as I understand it that was made quickly or lightly. It was a decision made after years of prayer and faithful study.
The bottom line, though, is that we need to worry about ourselves and what we are doing. Let God worry about all others. We need to be asking the question, "Are we doing the most with what God has entrusted us with?" God has entrusted us with a mission to take the gospel to all the world. If we are focused on other things then we won't be able to answer that question as we or God would like. I am convinced that one of Satan's ploys is to get us to focus on others and what they do and to forget about our own responsibilities.
Best of luck to you. Even though I am more on the left (as you put it) and you are more on the right than me, I truly hope that you and your church are successful in bringing people to Christ and in helping others because there is so much hurting going on out in our world.
- Phil Sanders said...
At first your suggestion of letting others deal with it because there are so many other problems sounds good, but a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.
Atchley and Russell wrote a book in order to get everyone else aboard. They are not waiting. The devil doesn't wait either. If IM is wrong, then it is necessary to speak now.
As to introducing people to Christ, I have to ask, what kind of Christianity? One that looks amazingly like denominational churches. If we convert people but do not teach them to observe "all" that Jesus commands, we have not done our job. The latter also belongs to the Great Commission. Our job is not done by getting them wet.
One can look at many denominational churches and community churches that do good deeds and draw a big crowd but have little to do with teaching them the truth.
I recall vividly the church growth argument used by the Boston movement sometime back. We were told we gotta change and be like them. Then their fruit withered.
I dare say that you take 4000 sound faithful brethren in middle Tennessee, and you will find them producing as much fruit as Richland Hills--all without IM or seventh day Lord Suppers.
As to efforts, I preach to 10,000+ people every week throughout middle Tennessee via a television program. I am often meeting folks who watch that aren't associated with churches of Christ. Our website has hundreds of visits daily--and from as many as 95 countries in the last year.
I can point to several middle Tennessee churches that are bursting at the seams and have not compromised one whit. This is a remarkable contrast to the handful of progressives that have dramatically shrunk in this area.
thanks for your kind posts, Kent. I know you care. I deeply appreciate that.
- preacherman said...
I believe if we are autonymous we should leave the leading up to other Churches and tell them how to worship. It should be up to their leadership. I believe that Christians should strive for unity. I believe that you don't see the Roman Church tell the Corithian church what to do? & vice versa.
- Phil Sanders said...
the reason Dave responded is because Richland Hills sent out books and other materials quite widely. They wanted us to join them. We are responding, telling them why we will not join their self-made religion, their sinful behavior.
We did not look for someone to fight. They are the ones who initiated this.
I would have say that Colossians 4 is an example of one congregation telling another congregation "what to do". Or at least suggesting they follow a path that is Scriptural.
I think this "autonomy" that we value so highly has led us (American Christians) to believing that it may even go so far/high as heaven.
I understand the concept of being autonomous but I think it would be hard to find it in its strictest sense in the Bible.
I think we could also add:
1 Thessalonians 5.27
Galatians 1.1
2 Corinthians 1.1; 9.1-5
to that list of scripture that has one congregation or a group of congregations instructing, encouraging, admonishing, teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training another congregation or congregations.
And I have to agree that RHCoC's desire to export their doctrine opens them up to global scrutiny.
"Am I my brother's keeper?"
- Keith said...
Thanks for the Post, the church I have attended for 15 years split largely because of the teaching of Rick Atchley. The group that left were former elders and were twisted by these and other teachings. They meet together and now use instuments regularly. I have requested Millers book and have reviewed some of it on line. I plan to approach those who left with the hope of them reconsidering as well. By the way, I pass the Richland Hill church on the way to work, and their sign last week said Instumental Sunday, I think they now worship with instumental music all the time.

Definition of anti-de Sitter space
- The simplest spacetime with positive curvature is called de Sitter space, after Willem de Sitter, the Dutch physicist who introduced it. Many cosmologists believe that the very early universe was close to being a de Sitter space. The far future may also be de Sitter-like because of cosmic acceleration. Conversely, the simplest negatively curved spacetime is called anti-de Sitter space. It is similar to hyperbolic space except that it also contains a time direction. Unlike our universe, which is expanding, anti-de Sitter space is neither expanding nor contracting. It looks the same at all times.

text: Until two years ago i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life, i came to the University of Tennessee in 2002 straight out of high school with an idea of getting a business degree…and when i got tired of that i turned to a history degree…and when i got tired of that i considered dropping out of school and moving home with nothing to show for the last four years of my life, but i decided to give it one last chance and started to explore this world of graphic design. What i found out was that the first four years of my college career were in fact not wasted, they got me to where i needed to be. Hating business classes and struggling through history classes just made me realize those were not the right paths for me. I had to find out what was not for me tin order to find out what was. To make a long story short, i changed majors once more; to graphic design and i have loved every minute of it, even the days without sleep and the additional financial aid i have had to get and working my tail off, it is all worth it, because it is something i truly love.

My issue is that it almost seems like every Xbox and Playstation Gamers and a whole bunch of developers out there, are completely oblivious that there is also a market with Nintendo consoles. I'm not saying this to start a fan war here but all I'm saying is to acknowledge that Nintendo is still around and it does have its loyal fan base and also the best selling handheld console to date. So please when ever you are talking about putting a game on consoles don't just say playstation and xbox, include nintendo in there too please.

Finding speed only half the battle
LEXINGTON, Ky. - You have to catch a trend early to maximize your chances for profit. Ask anyone who purchased Microsoft at $117 a share, then rode it all the way down to $64. Or any collector who bought an expensive Beanie Baby, or a rare Pokemon trading card at the peak of their popularity.
Last Sunday I noted that an interesting early trend was developing on the Churchill turf course. The leader at the first call had won three of the first six races on the turf for total payoffs of $40.80, and a remarkable $6.80 ROI for each $2 bet. I proposed that there would be a number of opportunities to profit if the trend continued. The best ones would be horses with early speed who had tired on Keeneland's turf course, which favored closers. The switch to Churchill's speed-favoring turf course would make them serious threats to take their fields all the way.
Since I wrote that article, nine races have been run on Churchill's grass course. Four of them were won by the front-runner. One other finished second. These winners paid a total of $40, an average payoff of 4-1, and a $4.44 ROI. If you eliminate the four longshots at 18-1, 24-1, 29-1, and 90-1 from this group, the results are even more impressive. Four winners from five races on horses at 5-1 and under. Those same $40 payoffs boost the ROI on this smaller group up to $8.00. But despite these great stats, locating the right speed horses was not an easy assignment.
Let's take a closer look at those nine turf races. The first turf race run after my article was printed was on Saturday, Nov. 3. The fifth race was a five-furlong turf allowance sprint. The contenders with the most speed were Boo's Brass Lady at 9-2, and Island Echo at 10-1. I preferred Boo's Brass Lady. She led by a head at the second call, then tired and finished fourth. Island Echo, who appeared to be in tough against that field, rated back in third, wore down the leaders, then held on to win by a neck. She paid $23.40. Woody Haze looked like the lone speed in the 10th, a 1 1/8-mile allowance race. Patient Pat Day gave him a good ride while clear on tepid splits, but Woody Haze faded back to finish second.
On Sunday, Nov. 4, the contender with the most early speed in the fifth, a 1 1/8-mile turf allowance race, was No Deadline, the 8-5 favorite. Unfortunately, No Deadline was rated back in third, and settled for a fourth-place finish. The seventh race, a one-mile, two-other-than allowance, fit the profile. Ensign D C had shown speed, then gave way grudgingly at Keeneland and at Kentucky Downs. Both turf courses assisted closers. I liked him at 10-1. The race was won by a front-runner, but it turned out to be Even the Score, who paid $12.80. Even the Score had shown early speed in most of his races but they had all been run on the dirt, so he hadn't been fighting any track biases. And he had shown much less speed than usual last time when he was in mid-pack, 8 1/2 lengths off the pace at the first call at Keeneland.
The next turf race was run on Wednesday, Nov. 7. The fifth was a 1 1/16-mile two-other-than allowance. Ever With You looked like the lone speed, and fit well with that field. Ever With You toyed with her field early while on a short lead, then drew away to win by 5 3/4 lengths, with some gas left in the tank. Her $13.20 payoff was an overlay. The eighth, a one-mile optional claiming race, was hard to figure. I gave the edge to Buff, the contender who had shown the most tactical speed. In an unforeseen tactical switch, jockey Calvin Borel tried deep-closing tactics with him, and he rallied from sixth of seven to finish second.
Thursday's fourth race was a one-mile allowance on the turf. Hi Tech Honeymoon led throughout and paid $6.60. The problem for bias-oriented handicappers was that she had not been closer than mid-pack at the first call of any of her four career starts, and she had been seventh of nine, 7 1/4 lengths off the pace last time at Keeneland at this same distance in her turf debut.
Conscience Clear had the most tactical speed of the contenders in the sixth race, but had been settling for minor prizes too often this year with an 8-1-4-1 record. He did so again when he finished third. There were two front-runners in the eighth, a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming race. I gave Please Sign In the edge over Silent Emotion on the basis of recency. Please Sign In had run well on Oct. 28, while Silent Emotion had been off for nearly two months. Silent Emotion led all of the way, and paid $7.40. Please Sign In was second throughout.
Anyone who handicapped and bet on those nine turf races with the early speed trend in mind had a legitimate chance to make money. But when the dust settled, it turned out to be very difficult to capitalize on the trend. But if the bias holds, there should be a few more cashable winners still yet to come.

Caught in a Debt Trap
Lord Adair Turner explored the UK's economic situation during his annual address
Adair Turner, the former Chairman of the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA), has warned that the world is caught in a 'debt overhang' during his annual lecture at Cass Business School.
Lord Turner argued that policy makers and commentators have systematically failed to understand how deep deflationary pressures are. He said this pressure is caused by two things; the first he called debt overhang and deleveraging; and the second, long term secular trends.
"The fundamental reason why we had such a huge crisis in 2008 and, in particular, why the recovery from it has been so slow and difficult is the growth of private sector debt in the advanced economies as a percent of GDP. That percentage in 1950 was 50% and it rose relentlessly to reach 170% by 2008".
Since 2008, there has been no aggregate deleveraging at all, explained Lord Turner. On a macro-economic level, this refers to the simultaneous reduction of debt levels in multiple sectors, including private sectors and the government sector.
Instead, he argued, debt has simply shifted from the private to the public sector and across the world from developed to developing countries, in particular China.
Lord Turner said: "We are caught in a debt overhang from which there will be no escape without some mix of default, debt restructuring or permanent monetisation".
The full lecture is available to watch on our YouTube channel.
Adair Turner has combined careers in business, public policy and academia. He became Chairman of the UK Financial Services Authority as the financial crisis broke in September 2008, and played a leading role in the redesign of the global banking and shadow banking regulation as Chairman of the International Financial Stability Board's major policy committee.
Lord Turner is now a Senior Fellow of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, a global economic research foundation committed to the development of real world solutions to the economic and social challenges of the 21st century.
His new book "Between Debt and the Devil - credit, money and fixing global finance" will be published by Princeton Press in September 2015.

At first I felt badly for the upcoming swarm of information. Especially considering I learned recently of someone who unfriended me on FaceBook as a result of my surrogacy blogging. But then I realized I didn't like her all that much to start with, and poo poo on those who don't want to know every detail. Don't read them then. But I'm going to write them.
The journey feels a bit like a duck swimming right now. To those on the outside things look like they're swimming along smoothly. Just beneath the surface though, there is paddling like hell to make it all look so easy to those on the shore.
For example. I am about to get on a skype call for a side project related to my journey. But I can't tell you all what it is. Yet.
For example. There was a potential hiccup in our road yesterday. But I'm not going to talk about it here. Ever. Just know all is well now.
Here are the things I can talk about.
Leaving the BlondestersI'll only touch lightly on this now, because it will have it's own blog later... but I get 5 days off! Most surros I read are all, "I miss them soooo much. Can I bring them? Can I go home early?" NOT. ME. I love them, yes. I'll miss them, maybe. ;) But I certainly am not the lamenting mother crying in the corner. I'll be the one lounged by the pool (pre-transfer) and couch surfing (post trasnfer) with a book and NO time outs, diaper changes or tantrums. PEACE.OUT.
Flight StressI am a bit on edge about getting our flights to LA booked. All the flights I want are close to selling out, and procedure at the GG offices have kept them from making any reservation yet. And I fly out in like 48 hours. I'm not sure why we couldn't use our heads instead of the rule book and reserve this when my lining was ready to go 10 days ago... or when it was clear B would have her retrieval as scheduled 4 days ago. Or yesterday evening when the RE cleared me. Sigh
Lupron Mandy, RetiredLast night was my last Lupron injection. As this is the drug that keeps my ovaries quiet, it means I now have to be on pelvic rest (no orgasm) until further notice. I'm told that could last as long as 10 weeks pregnant... for a total of 11 weeks pelvic rest. Sorry, Chris. While I am happy about tossing out a bottle of hormones and tossing those unused needles, I'm sorry it comes at your expense.
You'll notice the actual procedure and transfer don't make my list. Because I'm not worried about them. B has beautiful eggs. I have a beautiful ovaries. I'm just not worried about the procedure at all. That, at the least, is a wonderful feeling.

2-Day Photo Diary: Misibis Bay Getaway2:30 PM
As you all know if you follow me on Instagram and have read my preview post , I've had a quick getaway with my girlfriends at the beau...
As you all know if you follow me on Instagram and have read my preview post, I've had a quick getaway with my girlfriends at the beautiful Misibis Bay in Cagraray Island, Albay. It was one of the agenda of my birthday friend, Azi, as she had a few days vacation here in the Philippines. Just an overnight for the girls, that's how it was. So, my friends booked a good for four overnight stay for us that they've sourced at Deal Grocer. And I'm sharing with you all the happy and beautiful moments we had at Misibis Bay.
The weather is terribly hot during summer and while rain is starting to drop lately, the temperature is still too hot. Our weekend of stay was blessed with sunny skies. Hooray! Just a perfect setting for these four friends bonding with unlimited girl talks anywhere inside the resort's luxurious ground and amenities.
Topics are the usual: what we do lately, problems and crises we're in, men in our lives, the kids, family, and the planet earth. Haha. Picture this - four women talking their heads off.
We woke up very early coz our flight was around 5am. I was so sure of what wardrobe and footwear I'll bring on this trip, which are just repeats of my previous beach getaways. Except for the footwear I shared on my IG feeds lately. Yeah, it's new. Excited? Haha. Too excited that in my conservation of energy to carry all my essentials I decided not to bring my wallet, which got a tummy of its own and weigh about 4 pounds. Barya lang kasi ang laman, kaya heavy. Lol. So, I have some cash and credit cards with me and it's very light. Great idea! Yeah right. I forgot to bring any ID card which I just remembered halfway to the airport, around 3:40am on time scale. Oh my geeee!!!
The good husband saved the day! On his wallet, he has one of my ID cards for some membership I had. Forget how badly taken my photo on that ID was, I'm too proud to wave to anyone that it was my face on it at the airport that early morning! #thereishope #always! Haha.
Here's the continuation of our camwhoring. After all, that's what our cameras are for.
Since we arrived too early, we used the morning exploring the amenities of the resort. The pools are enough to entice us to do nothing but stay under water once we've settled our things on our suite and had enough photos to document our bulges. Haha. I mean, our memorable stay.
For the pool photos, we can't swim like mermaids. Some helpful staff of the resorts took them for us. They're friendly and supportive of our "picture, picture" moments. Lol. Thank you to the cool staff!!
And thanks for reading Wishing Belle! Just remember that every good things start with an ardent wish. *wink *wink
Till my next post, folks!

text: Apple just pushed the security update that has been all over the internets today. One interesting thing I noticed was the login to iCloud required your: iTunes email and password, a phone number, and for you to create a PIN number. Honestly, I didn't really read much about the updates but I figured it was important enough to call your attention to it. It's a critical one, so you need to update your systems and don't forget about your iOS devices too!

Children's dental care near Dallas, TX is concerned with addressing
children's oral hygiene, keeping their teeth healthy, and preventing
toothaches. However, there may come a time when your child needs to visit the
kids' dental clinic for a mild or severe toothache. Read on to learn when you should call
your pediatric dentist for a toothache.
As you can see in the video, some toothaches are a result of normal teething.
This is most often found in babies and toddlers who are still getting
their baby teeth. This type of toothache is normal and can be comforted
with a cold compress. However, your child may need to see the dentist
if his toothache persists. This may be a sign of tooth decay, which might
require a dental filling. If you are very concerned about your child's
toothache, then call your pediatric dentist for more recommendations.

As Europe's biggest lottery, EuroMillions also has its name linked to a number of fascinating winner stories. From the small prizes amounting a few euros to the big life-changing jackpots, EuroMillions winners keep coming up every time the numbers are drawn. Until present day, the record jackpot for EuroMillions stands at an awesome €190 million, which is also the European lottery's jackpot cap. This amazing amount has been won twice – first in August 2012 by a British couple, Adrian and Gillian Bayford and then again in October 2014 by a Portuguese ticket holder. The list of top EuroMillions winners includes some lucky fans from Spain, France and Ireland as well.
Adrian and Gillian Bayford, UK – €190 million
Gillian and Adrian Bayford remain the biggest EuroMillions winners to date, after scooping a €190 million (£148 million) back in 2012. Prior to the windfall, Gillian was working nights in a hospital and Adrian was taking care of his second-hand record shop to make ends meet. Did the jackpot change their life? For sure! Read more about Gillian and Adrian Bayford.
Anonymous from Portugal – €190 million
This lucky EuroMillions winner decided not to reveal his identity when claiming his prize. All we know is that the ticket was bought in the district of Castelo Branco at the Sobedis store in the Alegro shopping center and featured the winning numbers of the EuroMillions draw held on Friday, October 24 2014 – 3, 9, 20, 30, and 42 and Lucky Stars 1 and 6.
Anonymous from Spain- €190 million
The SuperDraw of September 15th 2017 was followed by a long rollover streak. The results? The jackpot cap and record was reached once again! The EuroMillions lottery displayed the top €190 million prize not once, but twice: and on October 6th the jackpot was finally won. The ticket matching the winning numbers was purchased on the Spanish holiday island Gran Canaria. The winning numbers of the draw on Friday, October 6th were 1, 9, 15, 19 and 25, with Lucky Stars 1 and 7.
Chris and Colin Weir, UK – €185 million
Back in 2011, the winning numbers 17, 19, 38, 42, 45 and Lucky Stars 9 & 10 were bringing Chris and Colin Weir a life-changing EuroMillions jackpot of €185 million (£161 million), which placed them on the same level of wealth with the beloved couple David and Victoria Beckham.
At that time, this was the largest prize ever won in EuroMillion's history. The Weirs's name remains an important one for the European lottery not only as one of the biggest EuroMillions wins, but because of the charitable initiatives. Immediately after their windfall, they donated a £180,000 home to their neighbours. The following year, the mega rich Scots helped the 13-year-old Kieran Maxwell, who lost his leg because of a rare and aggressive cancer called Ewings Sarcoma, to buy a more advanced prosthetic limb. These are just some of the good deeds in the lucky EuroMillions winners' portfolio.
Anonymous from France – €169 million
One lucky guy from France was matching the winning numbers of the draw on November 13, 2012 – 11, 16, 21, 24, 29 and Lucky Stars 2 & 6. The winner who preferred to remain anonymous was described by the FDJ representative as a self-taught man who come from a modest family and has not had the chance to get a formal education. When claiming his prize, he talked about creating a charitable foundation to help people in need.
In an interview he gave to Nice Matin a year after having scooped his win, the lucky winner confirmed he made a some charity deeds, but he also spent some money on traveling, discovering the world as well as on a few art investments.
Anonymous from Belgium – €168 million
A EuroMillions fan from Belgium won the mouth-watering jackpot of €168 million, on October 11 2016. With a single ticket, on which he spent no more than €15, he made the right choice when choosing the numbers 5, 12, 20, 24, 37 and the two Lucky Stars 4 and 11. He did not let out too many details about himself, but we know he is father of 4 and originally from Albania, country he fled to escape the war in Kosovo. When claiming the prize, he spoke about sharing a part with people in need! Thanks to his winning, Belgium not only gets a new record as the biggest national jackpot ever, but jumps to the fifth position EuroMillions biggest Jackpots shortlist!
Anonymous from Portugal- €163 million
A SuperDraw and 10 rollovers pumped up the EuroMillions jackpot to €163 million, right before the lottery's draw on October 13, 2015. This time the top prize was scooped by a lucky Portuguese fan who took advantage of the national lottery's rules and decided to remain anonymous. The numbers that made his fortune: 4. 30, 34, 46, 49 and Lucky Stars 7 & 8.
Anonymous from France – €162 million
Another French winner, coming this time from Calvados, hit the EuroMillions jackpot on September 13, 2011. Who said 13 is not a lucky number? Together with the draw's results (9, 28, 30, 32, 49 and Lucky Stars 9 & 10), the date of 13 brought the lucky EuroMillions fan an awesome fortune of €162 million. Upon claiming his prize, the French EuroMillions winner said that "his priority is the completion of a real estate project and that he also considers investing in the French economy."

Town board members delayed a vote last week on a controversial new development but said any decision they make won't be swayed by campaign contributions from a member of the development team.
Davidson resident Jane McWilliams raised the issue at Monday's meeting, asking board members if any of them had received contributions from Mike Schutrum, a member of the Glenwood Development team, and whether that could influence their votes. Commissioner Charles Jeter and Brian Sisson acknowledged that they had received contributions.
"If you receive (total) contributions under $3,000 you don't have to report it," Jeter said in front of an overflow crowd. "But I received a $400 contribution from Mike and his wife. But, as many others can attest, I don't always vote the way my contributors want. "
Sisson did not say the amount of his contribution, but said he didn't have to file, either. None of the other three commissioners answered the issue at the meeting, but commissioner Sarah McAulay grew agitated at the question.
"I think it is fair to bring it up," she said to McWilliams. "But I don't think it is fair to make accusations. And your three minutes (to speak) are up."
The development includes 162,000 square feet of office space and at least 118 townhomes near the intersection of N.C. 73 and Davidson-Concord Road. The development also includes 10 waivers from town code, including a waiver that allows it to have attached housing.
Commissioner Ken Lucas said later last week that he didn't have to file because his campaign was also under $3,000. Attempts to reach McAulay and commissioner Ron Julian were unsuccessful. Lucas did not recall receiving any contribution from Schutrum, and said he did not meet him until after he was elected. He said he believes none of the commissioners have been influenced by others.
Schutrum said any contributions he made were not given to influence the board.
Schutrum said the project is still viable and said that there would be less development than on the Davidson side of N.C. 73.
Monday's meeting brought out the opposition to the project, which would bring in more economic development to the town but has neighboring residents upset. Eight residents spoke at the meeting, and objected to the development.
Three valid protest petitions have also been filed, meaning any rezoning would have to pass by at least a 4-1 margin. Commissioners delayed their vote last week . No vote is expected before the Nov. 3 meeting.

Learn How to Plan the Best Container Gardens for your backyard
Container gardens are an excellent way to brighten up every corner of your yard or patio and are ideal for anyone living in a unit. You are able to grow anything from flowers to vegetables to fruit trees if you have the right container and position.
It is also possible to have a window box container garden. It is important to remember that the plants are only getting the nutrients from the soil in the container, so it is vital that you feed them good quality fertilizer to achieve a good result. If you use a slow release fertilizer try to add some fish emulsion ever few weeks to give your plants a boost along.
It is essential to water plants in container gardens as the container dry out quickly. Mulching with good quality mulch is also a way to keep the container moist.
There is a large selection of container that area able to be used for your container gardens. Many nursery outlets and hardware store have a good supply of all size of containers. However it's not always necessary to purchase expensive pots to have a successful container garden.
Recycling any old container that you may have lying around to give a different look to your garden. An old wheelbarrow is an excellent item to fill with good quality soil and can be planted with either vegetables or flowers, depending on your preference. An old bath is also a very good container to use.
Be sure to have a layer of rocks in the bottom to allow drainage for your plants. If you are very enterprising, you may also make your own containers from concrete. Not all container have to be on the ground. Hanging pots work well for certain type of plants.
The right size
It is important when establishing container gardens that you use the right size container for the plants that you wish to grow. Overcrowding of a container will result in plants fighting for room to grow and to obtain their share of the sun and water. Light weight pots are necessary for some plants as you may wish to reposition them elsewhere if they look to be struggling to survive.
By mixing a variety of flower plants when establishing container gardens you will produce a riot of colour. If you like flowers, then plants like petunias, violas and geraniums are all excellent types to use in container gardens
It is also possible to grow vegetables very successfully in Containers. Tomatoes are always an easy variety to have in your container gardens. A mixture of lettuce plants in a small container will give you a good supply for summer salads. By using container gardens for your vegetable plantings you lower the risk of poor drainage, pests and disease.
If you are a fan of succulents, try growing them in old besser blocks. They don't require a lot of water and you can mix a few different varieties in one pot.
Fruit Trees:
Whether you have a small yard or just a patio or balcony, fruit trees are able to be grown in pots. There is a number of varieties of dwarf fruit trees on the market that will suit any position.
Always ask for helpful tips from your local nursery or any of your friends who are keen gardeners. If you do that you are guaranteed to have established some very successful container gardens.

I am right there with your husband. All I can say is its difficult. He needs to connect with a higher power. Not sure what faith he has or has not but his is a connection that I think is important. He needs to know that everyday Dr's and researchers are working so hard to find a cure. Remind him that people are praying for him.
Try meditation, try spiritual books and DVD's. I am a research junkie and its my background but I find great hope and strength in reading and sharing data on cancer discoveries.
Its hard to feel good when in pain and despair.
Can you think of anything he can do to help someone else? Or a Hobby?
We are at our best when helping others.
Good luck but I know where he is and I know where you are because I have been a caregiver too.
