Seven Lenoir County residents visit orphaned children in Honduras to teach them about Jesus and help paint their classroom furniture
When Lisa Stillwell stepped off a plane about mid-day in Puerto Lempira in northeastern Honduras, she was frightened by what she saw.
�There were people standing out there with machine guns,� the 36-year-old Kinston resident said.
Stillwell arrived on June 18 with six other people with the peaceful purpose of bringing the Bible message to poor children at four orphanages.
�I wanted to teach them about the love of Christ � that was my purpose,� she said. �I wanted to teach them that Jesus was their friend.�
It was Stillwell�s first trip outside the U.S. and her first mission trip with the Neuse Baptist Association in La Grange � headed up by John Hoey, pastor and director of missions.
Hoey said this was the seventh trip to Honduras, a country of marshy jungle. The association also organizes trips to Mexico and St. Lucia.
�We just try to show the love of Jesus,� Hoey said.
Stillwell said she actually wanted to go to St. Lucia, a Caribbean island with resorts.
�Honduras was way out of my comfort zone,� she said.
Still, she felt �tugged� to go there.
�I wanted to go help the children, the orphans out there,� she said.
The travelers had to prepare Vacation Bible School lessons and get vaccinations and malaria medication. They each also had to raise about $1,500 in order to go.
Stillwell said she sent out envelopes to 100 prayer partners asking for donations. She also held a yard sale and participated in a flea market and auction.
The orphanages were a short distance by truck from the dirt runway where the group landed. They stayed at the House of Hope orphanage and mostly worked at Mama Tara orphanage.
The children are often abandoned by their parents, Stillwell said.
�(The parents) can�t afford them,� she said. �They just drop them off. It�s sad.�
With the help of a local interpreter, Gustavo Lepe, the group taught the children about Jesus. They also took part in a work project, refinishing tables and chairs for a classroom.
In addition, they helped the children sort soccer uniforms by size and put together a life book, or scrapbook, of photographs they had collected.
Besides one newborn, the children ranged from preschool to teens.
Hannah Deaver, 43, of Kinston said the experience was �eye-opening.�
She said the water needed to be boiled, and while some people have wells, others use a stream or even a puddle of water.
�We saw some of them washing dishes in a puddle,� Deaver said.
There are no seat belts or stop signs, the power is on six hours at the most each day, the telephone service is unreliable and there is no Internet, she said.
The local people cut wood to cook on an open fire. Food is expensive because the clay soil doesn�t produce well, so food is shipped from other areas, Deaver said. Farm animals run loose.
The people have wooden houses. One house had one room and 26 people living in it, and had three-tiered bunk beds and hammocks outside, she said.
�When you give them, like, a Bible tract,� Deaver said, �they hold onto it like it was gold.�
Her oldest daughter, Sydney Deaver, was able to go because she turned 18 while on the trip. Sydney said the experience reminded her of television commercials with children asking for money.
�It was real,� she said. �They really do need help. We should be grateful, even if we don�t have a lot. � They�re thankful for what they�ve got.�
Despite their stark poverty, the people take care of everything they own, she said.
Two weeks after arriving, it was time for the group to be trucked back to the airport. Not wanting them to leave, the children from Mama Tara walked to the airport.
Stillwell held back tears as she talked about 8-year-old Fernanda, whose mother had dropped her off at the orphanage because she didn�t want her.
�(Fernanda) was the one who grabbed onto me when I was walking toward the plane,� she said. �� I don�t know how to put it into words. You just love on them.�
Stillwell left the country with just the clothes on her back.
�I came back without a stitch of clothing,� she said.
Shortly before leaving, a local woman told Stillwell her house had been burglarized and her clothes were stolen. Stillwell told her all her clothes were dirty. The woman said she would take them, anyway. The local people wash their clothes using a scrub board.
�After I gave her the dirty clothes,� Stillwell said, �she was scared someone would think she stole them. � After I got back home and opened my dresser and my dresser was empty, I said I can live with an empty dresser any day as long as my heart is filled with Jesus.�
Other members also gave away their clothes, she said.
It was a two-week trip of hugs and tears. Sydney Deaver said the experience can teach young people how to work with older teammates and help them mature.
�I think it�s a great idea,� she said about other youth taking such a trip. �� It�s really a great experience.�
Hannah Deaver said the trip taught her patience.
�It was a great way to share the Lord,� she said, �just by being able to be kind to someone.�

Cloud computing is the latest technology in data storage to take the world by storm. In many companies, it is already being used with great success. It is here that Microsoft is one up against its competitors by launching Azure. To know about the product and to understand cloud storage better, one needs to undergo a Microsoft Azure fundamentals training course.
Over the next 12-18 months, a raft of new functionality will be rolled out to Windows Azure customers. These features will both make it easier to move existing applications into the cloud, and enhance the services available to cloud-hosted applications. The company believes that putting applications into the cloud will often be a multistage process. Initially, the applications will run unmodified, which will remove patching and maintenance burdens, but not take advantage of any cloud-specific functionality.

Queen Elizabeth II attended a London reception to celebrate Commonwealth Day on Monday, her first public appearance since she was briefly hospitalized for a stomach illness.
The monarch appeared in good spirits, although earlier in the day she had to cancel her engagement at Westminster Abbey. Buckingham Palace officials said the 86-year-old queen was still getting over a bout of gastroenteritis that led to her first hospitalization in a decade last week.
Wearing a mint and silver ensemble, Elizabeth made a brief speech at the ceremony held at Marlborough House in central London. After that she signed a new charter setting out the Commonwealth's values and commitment to equal rights.
The document, agreed upon by the group's 54 member states, commits them to upholding principles, including democracy, rule of law and gender equality.
Earlier Monday, Prince Philip, the queen's 91-year-old husband, attended the service at the abbey, where he was joined by 2,000 guests, including Commonwealth ambassadors.
A prerecorded annual address by the queen, who heads the association of countries, was played in the abbey.
The queen had to cancel several engagements, including a visit to Rome, last week because of her stomach bug. The one-day hospitalization raised concerns about the general health of the queen, who has rarely taken time off her duties due to illness.
But the palace says she remains in robust health.
"The queen hopes to undertake some of her official engagements planned for the rest of the week," the palace said.
Elizabeth carried out more than 400 official engagements in 2012 — ranging from weekly meetings with the prime minister to ceremonial gatherings such as the reception on Monday.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 7, 2013) – Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Vice President of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs Sascha Haverfield, Ph.D., issued the following statement today:
"PhRMA remains deeply concerned about the impact of sequestration on the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) ability to fulfill its critical public health mission by fostering timely patient access to safe and effective new medicines.
"PhRMA continues to work with lawmakers of both parties through the ongoing appropriations process towards the release of sequestered FY2013 prescription drug user fees and to prevent the sequestration of these fees in the future."
"These prescription drug user fees cannot, by law, be used for any purpose other than to support FDA's human drug review program. Their sequestration does not decrease the nation's deficit, but only serves to exacerbate the severe budgetary constraints of a historically underfunded agency. This is detrimental to patients, regulatory science and public health."
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading innovative biopharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to discovering and developing medicines that enable patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. Since 2000, PhRMA member companies have invested approximately $550 billion in the search for new treatments and cures, including an estimated $48.5 billion in 2012 alone.

Around 200 jobs were secured today after HMV's administrators offloaded the retail group's last remaining music and entertainment venues.
HMV's majority shareholding in G-A-Y Group, which comprises a number of bars and Heaven nightclubs, has been sold to the founder and other shareholder in the business, Jeremy Joseph.
The sale comes amid speculation that HMV's administrator Deloitte could announce the closure of between 60 and 100 HMV music stores this week, resulting in the loss of around 1,500 jobs. According to the Sunday Telegraph, HMV will be left with a business of between 120 and 160 shops.
Having sold a number of music and entertainment venues last year, including the Hammersmith Apollo, HMV was left with the G-A-Y bars and Heaven nightclubs.
Mr Joseph said:"HMV made a strategic decision to sell certain businesses, which included the sale of their shares in G-A-Y, almost a year ago.
"I am delighted to have acquired 100 per cent ownership of the business that I founded 20 years ago and to have secured the future of my 200 employees."
Deloitte joint administrator Rob Harding said: "We are pleased to have completed the sale of HMV's shareholding in G-A-Y to the natural purchaser of this stake so shortly after our appointment.
"This will benefit the creditors of HMV and we wish Mr Joseph the best in the beginning of a new era for G-A-Y."
HMV went into administration last month, putting more than 4,120 jobs and 223 stores at risk, but hopes of a rescue deal have been raised after restructuring firm Hilco - the group behind HMV Canada - bought the company's debt.
It is thought that Hilco has opened negotiations with suppliers and HMV's landlords as part of a plan to salvage the group.
Hilco reportedly wants to rescue about half of the stores in the UK as it looks to repeat the strategy that has seen it turn around HMV's Canadian arm, which it bought in 2011.

I wanted to have a good swing and try to win the game," Uribe told reporters. "I had a big swing."Hot-hitting Los Angeles are enjoying a first playoff run since 2009 and will face either St Louis or Pittsburgh, currently tied at 2-2 in their series, in the NLCS. I didn't try to look for that pitch. I wanted to have a good swing and try to win the game Juan Uribe, Los Angeles infielder The Braves appeared on the verge of forcing a decisive Game Five at home after bouncing back from Sunday's 13-6 defeat and cooling the Los Angeles offense for much of the contest.Atlanta starter Freddy Garcia stood up to Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw as both pitchers lasted six innings and departed with the contest knotted at 2-2.Braves pinch-hitter Jose Constanza delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh but Atlanta's losing pitcher David Carpenter could not hold the lead. Yasiel Puig set up the comeback in the eighth with a lead-off double, and Uribe followed with his second homer in as many nights.Kenley Jansen got the final three outs to clinch the triumph for the Dodgers and set off wild celebrations on the field.It was a promising start for Los Angeles when Carl Crawford smacked solo home runs in the first and third innings, his third homer in two games, for a 2-0 edge."I'm just trying to stay square, stay short, and not do too much," Crawford said. "I ran into a few balls that got out, so I'm happy about that."However, Atlanta managed to tie the score in the fourth.Chris Johnson went 3-for-4 with an RBI in the losing effort.The disappointment is nothing new for the Braves, who have not won a post-season series since 2001.On the mound, Kershaw was pitching on short rest and struck out six batters while surrendering two unearned runs.

This Friday, April 5th, kicks off the 15th Annual Festival Of Film Noir at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Things get moving fast with a Cy Enfield double, Try And Get Me (aka The Sound Of Fury) and Hell Drivers. The Film Noir Foundation's newly restored print of Try And Get Me should be a stunner- not available on DVD, this is rare glimpse into Enfield's U.S. career which was prematurely derailed due to HUAC blacklisting bullshit. Hell Drivers is a Rank Organization picture featuring Irish beauty Peggy Cummins, best known for her roles in Gun Crazy and Night Of The Demon.
Saturday brings a great pair of Hollywood damage tales in Sunset Boulevard and The Other Woman. Needing no introduction, Sunset Boulevard's brilliance never seems to diminish, it's depiction of desperation and delusion seems applicable to every generation of former greats and their hangers on. The Other Woman features the criminally under rated Cleo Moore as a scheming second string actress who gets involved in a blackmail plot that goes awry. Those of you unfamiliar with Ms. Moore should check out the Bad Girls Of Film Noir, Vol 2 DVD set, we often have used copies for sale at the Hollywood Amoeba.

WINNIPEG - It's the dog days of summer, but there's still snow to be found in the city nicknamed Winterpeg.
Jim Berezowsky, manager of street maintenance for Winnipeg, says there is still snow at the four dump sites used by the city.
He says the pile at the Kenaston site is still about 18 metres high.
Usually the snow melts by the time summer is over, but Berezowsky admits sometimes Mother Nature needs a little help.
If it's not melting at the expected rate by the third week of August, the city will send in equipment to break the pile up so that it melts faster.
In late August or early September, crews then move in to clean up the leftover debris and move it and the remaining sediment out to the landfill.
The aim is that by the end of September, the snow dumps are clear and clean and ready for another winter.

I tasted both the Original Hard Apple Cider and the Spur & Vine Hopped Apple Cider at a media preview a few months ago. Both were great, and I especially enjoyed Spur & Vine, which is cold conditioned with Galaxy hops.
Yesterday, Square Mile announced a recall of its first production run. Full details are in the press release below.
Square Mile Cider Company Announces Voluntary Recall of 2,500 Cases of Hard Cider Products
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - July 19, 2013 - Square Mile Cider Company (SMCC) today announced the voluntary recall of 2,500 cases "Square Mile Original Hard Apple Cider" and "Square Mile Spur & Vine Hopped Apple Cider."
The recalled product was sold in retail locations in California, Oregon and Washington. It is limited to the following two products packaged on or before May 15, 2013:
- 22 ounce bottles of "Square Mile Original Hard Apple Cider" with the markings "Hand Picked" and "Hand Pressed" on either side of the logo.
- 22 ounce bottles of "Square Mile Spur & Vine Hopped Apple Cider" with the markings "Hand Picked" and "Hand Pressed" on either side of the logo.
SMCC is voluntarily recalling the products due to concerns that cider from the company's first production run may be refermenting in the bottle, which may cause the bottles to burst under certain circumstances and can lead to potential flavor inconsistencies. Consumers who may have purchased the affected product should dispose of it immediately in an outdoor trash receptacle.
"As a handcrafted, small batch cider maker, we take all packaging and product quality concerns very seriously. We are working with our wholesalers and retail partners to remove all affected product from store shelves as quickly as possible. We are also confident that we have identified the problem and want to reassure our consumers that we stand by the quality of our products," said Lorin Gelfand, brand manager for SMCC.
To date, no consumer illnesses or injuries have been reported.
Consumers with questions about the quality of their SMCC products may call the company toll-free at 1-855-371-0895 (8am to 4pm PST), visit our website at http://squaremilecider.com/contact, or write us at 929 N. Russell St., Portland, OR 97215.
About Square Mile Cider Company
Square Mile Cider Company crafts hard cider varieties from Northwest grown apples in celebration of the pioneer spirit and those who travel into unknown territory with only hope, pride, and determination. Square Mile Cider Company derives its name from the original Oregon pioneers who were granted one square mile of land to stake their claim and build a future. It was on these square mile claims that some of the original Northwest orchards were planted, and where Square Mile Cider Company chose to stake its claim. Square Mile Cider is a subsidiary of Portland, Oregon-based Craft Brew Alliance.

Below is Russell Glasser's final response in this debate:
Russell's Final Response
This is a Christian blog that covers all sorts of issues: worldview, apologetics, pastoral, counseling, etc. The purpose is to glorify God, edify His people, and save the lost through the sound proclamation of His truth.
After a long-winded post about the supposed lies of Glasser, you nearly conclude with this:
"If atheism depends on materialism, and yet immaterial logic exists, then atheistic materialism is irrational, untenable, and impossible. If nature is uniform, and yet atheistic materialism claims that the universe is a random accident, then atheistic materialism is irrational, untenable, and impossible."
How ironic and hypocritical. Atheism does not depend on materialism. Full stop. Your argument falls apart because the atheistic rejection to this dishonest claim was explained to you at least twice. Your misuse (in spite of your denial as such) of the term random chance (now you're calling it an accident) is obfuscation at its worst. You completely and totally shifted the burden of proof onto Russell as the while not once defending your own position. You wrote a lot, but said very little. Despite your frequent back patting and self-congratulatory tone, my vote is for Russell. The merits of faith and in particular the Christian faith should stand on its own without have to demonstrate why atheism is irrational, etc. Until someone can offer a good reason to believe in your version of God (or any other version for that matter) I will remain an atheist. And given that many folk have no problem describing themselves as atheists, it hardly qualifies as an irrational or impossible position to hold.
I simply do not have the time to reply to most of these. However, I will note that most forms of atheism in the West are materialistic. Russell admitted to being a materialist. My syntactical usage of "random" and "chance" was correct. On the contrary, Russell said very little, committed many fallacies and demonstrated to the world just how groundless atheism truly is. Your claim that many people classify themselves as atheists, and this somehow makes it rational is absolutely absurd. Thank you for reading the debate. I do hope that you see through Russell's flimsy arguments and appreciate the philosophical problems that atheism has. Good day.Delete
instinct in animals is immaterial too, and yet a materialist consistently believes in instinct. If atheism depends on materialism, and yet immaterial instinct exists, then atheistic materialism is irrational, untenable, and impossible <=How in the world do you make this leap? If nature is uniform (...is natural selection uniform?), and yet atheistic materialism claims that the universe is a random accident (what does imaterialism have to do with the universe being an accident?), then atheistic materialism is irrational, untenable, and impossible. <==How do you ever get here from starting with the process of mental abilities (this is NOT logical)?
"materialism" does NOT mean you are forbidden to understand how most brains work.
First, you might want to do a little research into the mind/brain relationship. Do you really think that mind and brain are the same? Your lack of precision on this explains your comment. Instinct is a matter of brain chemistry. Reasoning is not. Read some books on information theory and then perhaps you will rethink this statement. Concerning the materialism and uniformity point, I shifted away from immaterial logic back to nature's uniformity. Hence it was a summary of the two arguments that I made in the debate. I apologize for any confusion.Delete
I understand clearly the mind is the product of the brain much like the software/hardware analogy. Is the software/hardware the same? No but that doesn't mean the mind is supernatural anymore than fire being supernatural to it's source. So instinct is not related to brain chemistry? Are you saying if electrodes were hooked up to the brain during an instinctive reaction we wouldn't get a reading (from brain chemistry) similar to when a logical decision is made? But we're getting away from the point....the point is that instinct is *immaterial* but what does that have to do with proving an atheist's point as being incorrect?Delete
Pastor Feinstein, I'm sure it's been pointed out several times to you, but you are simply abusing the terms here.
When materialists talk about "randomness" or "chance" in the universe, they mean undirectedness, not that a water molecule will spontaneously change into an airplane. There is nothing directing a water molecule to go this way or that way, but it will always remain true to its "nature" as a water molecule. This is what uniformity means; in this sense, it is not the opposite of "random."
The laws of logic are not "things" that exist external to the human mind - they are processes by which the mind describes reality.
You make a false distinction between "God creating logic" and "Logic being produced by God's mind." This is the same thing; how does God's mind produce logic?
God is not necessary merely because you've defined him to be so. You must first demonstrate God's existence, then demonstrate his necessity.
BTW, there is nothing preventing the universe from being necessary, because science has shown that it is possible that the universe could have been self-caused (read some Stephen Hawking). Your assertion that the universe can't be necessary because it isn't self-caused is incorrect and scientifically unfounded.
Finally, I've heard that you are not allowing comments from disagreeing atheists in order to prevent your blog from looking bad. I hope you will prove my fellow atheists wrong by posting this comment. I'd appreciate your reply.
Richard, I appreciate your comments, but you fail to account for a number of things. Stephen Hawkings in no way proved that the universe can account for itself. In fact, his "space-time theorem of general relativity" simply provided a greater need for a necessary being. Second, I did not abuse the terms. I did not accuse atheists of believing water molecules will act randomly. My point was that many of the well-known atheists claim that the universe is one giant accident that came into its current form through random processes. So somehow 14 billion years of random (rather than uniform) processes created all that we see, and somehow it produced a uniform nature. Well, if you want to back track this and deny it, and like Russell claim that you don't believe this, then fine. However, you have a bigger problem. If the universe is uniform, then randomness does not truly exist. If the universe is directed, what is it directed by? How did it get directed? How do you know this? There are so many questions that show your position to be folly. Furthermore, I do believe that the points made about contingency vs. necessity proved my point that God does in fact exist.
Concerning the nature of me approving certain comments, I will not approve obnoxious ones. If someone tries to make a point, I have no problem with it. However, I am also limited that I cannot reply to all comments. If 1,000 atheists flood this with comments, I am not sure what I will do about that. You got to me early, so I was able to reply. You have a good day.
There are a number of issues with your arguments, but I would like to second the criticism associated with your distinction between God "creating" logic versus "Logic being produced by God's mind." You are just playing word games here, which seems to be the case with many of your arguments. Attributing your own favorite definitions to different words does not change their actual meaning, and it is a disingenuous way to engage in debate. I see you have done this with a number of words, some of which Richard Zili has pointed out.ReplyDelete
I did not attribute my own definitions to change meanings. You and the other atheists are the ones who are ignoring proper syntax in this case. Also it is absurd to accuse me of playing word games. There is a huge difference between saying "God created logic," and "Logic is a product of God's mind as the original person and thinker." Please, become more philosophically precise. I was not disingenuous at all. Furthermore, how can an atheist ever say anything (such as being disingenuous) is wrong? If there is no God, then there are no standards. God does exist, and thus standards exist. I have kept to those standards. Russell's many logical fallacies and direct misquotes of me (on multiple occasions) demonstrates to me that it is your camp that is disingenuous.Delete

I need to let all of the atheist's know that I will not be able to respond to each comment. As a result, I will not publish each one. The nonsensical insulting ones will be disregarded.
There are few points that I would like to make. First, some atheist said I violated the rules by posting final comments. Really? Russell and I never agreed to that. We agreed to how many of each other's posts we would link on our blog. My closing remark was one way that I honored my end by letting my readers see Russell's final response. For my readers, I posted my final comments. Russell is not going to link it. So people need to get their facts straight.
An agnostic friend of mine stated these types of things well. He said the great thing about the internet is it gives everyone a voice. Yet, the bad thing about the internet is it gives everyone a voice. Most of the comments that have been sent fall under the second line. It reflects people who are unwilling to form rational arguments. The comments that are posted are the ones that reflect the first line. However, I must remind everyone that I debated Russell, not each of you. Keep that in mind. If I do not respond it is not because you stumped me.
"I did not say God created the laws of logic. I said they are a product of His mind."
What's your distinction? Is it the difference between "create" and "produce" or is it that God didn't produce logic, His mind did it?
This sounds a bit like saying "I did not say the carpenter created the chair. I said it was a product of his hands."
Can you clarify?
Matt, I did not create my mind. It is an attribute of personhood that is intrinsic to my being. A carpenter producing a a chair is entirely different. Because I am a person, I have a mind. Likewise, because God is the necessary, self-existing person, He has a mind. Logic is simply the laws of thought. Since God's thoughts are original, logic is original to His mind. In us, logic is derivative because we are derivative. I am not sure if there is any easier way to explain this.Delete
"There is a huge difference between saying "God created logic," and "Logic is a product of God's mind as the original person and thinker."
Should you have the time and the inclination, I would be grateful if you could clarify the 'huge difference' you mention, since the two statements sound equivalent to me.
well "God created logic" seems to implied that that God is over logic and logic is not a part of that God but separate; "Logic is...person and thinker" seems to implied that Logic is how God thinks, so inside him.
Anyway, that is how I understand the nuance.
I tried to explain it to the comment ahead of yours. Maybe my use of the word "product" is the problem. Logic is a natural function of minds. The mind does not create the logic, but instead logic simply describes the way the mind reasons. Since original logic (not our derivative version) are simply the laws of God's mind and His reasoning, it would be incorrect to say that God fashioned logic like He fashioned the world. Since God is the original person with the original mind, logic is a function of His infinite mind. Hopefully that helps to clarify.
Stephen, in this debate and any other pre-suppositionalist debate or argument I have yet to see someone demonstrate that any being is necessary.
All you did was insist that this being is necessary. There is just such a wide divide here between you and othe pre-sups and any number of other groups (including atheists). How do you come up with what is necessary? Why do you get to classify things as contingent and necessary and how do you determine what goes into the latter category?
None of this is explained in your posts, although I suspect you think it is. It's all hand-waving to me.
Contingent. Look it up. I said many times that contingent is caused, sustained, and determined by factors outside of itself. I am contingent. I am caused by my parents and trillion other factors outside of me that I have no control over. I am sustained (food, gravity, oxygen, etc.) by a trillion factors outside of me. I am determined (by God, genetics, etc.) by many factors outside of me. As a result, I bear all of the traits of contingency. Our solar system, galaxy, and the universe itself all have the same problem. You cannot have an uncaused contingency. Necessary is something that is uncaused, unsustained, and undetermined by anything outside of itself. Everything we experience in this world is by definition contingent. Yet, there had to be the first of each kind of contingency, and that first was caused (by definition). When we work our way back to the beginning of the universe itself, a necessary being is necessary since we cannot have an uncaused contingent universe. There is no hand-waving here my friend.Delete
I have two simple questions.
1: Do you think that "God" is a distinct identity from "God's mind?" If so, what are the other parts of God that are distinct from his mind?
2: What is the qualitative difference between "X created Y" and "Y is the product of X?" It seems like you are saying, "This machine does not create widgets! Rather, widgets are a product of this machine." I don't see a difference between those two statements.
I must apologize to my atheist friends. Given the amount of comments that are coming in, I as a lone man cannot answer each one. Although I would love a free discussion, it is not truly a discussion when hundreds attempt to debate one man. I walked into this trap myself, being new to blogs. For all of the atheists that put thought provoking and genuine questions, I am grateful. However, I cannot debate all of you. I have too many other responsibilities. I can assure you that answers do exist for your questions/objections. Some of them I did answer in my responses to Russell, and others I did not.
Given that this is becoming too time consuming for me, I am going to suspend the comments for the time being. Maybe when Christians start posting as well, it will generate discussions between the two groups. However, as a single man I cannot sustain this. Once again, thank you for your interest.
New comments are not allowed.

We loved to hate Russell Hantz as a sneaky, back-stabbing, sore loser on three seasons of CBS' Survivor.Now the wily Texan will turn his telegenic talents to flipping houses in his home area of Houston.The new A&E show Flipped Off debuts at 9 p.m. April 9, with his older brother Shawn as project manager and "the beautiful and savvy real estate agent, Kristen."As good as he was finding the hidden immunity idols on Survivor, maybe he can find those property gems and turn them for a profit.Read on for A&E's news release:Here's the A&E news release:A&E premieres a new original real-life series featuring Russell Hantz of "Survivor" as he enters the high-stakes world of house flipping in the volatile Houston real-estate market. "Flipped Off" premieres Monday, April 9 at 9 PM Central on A&E.Flipping homes has never been an easy business, and since the collapse of the housing market it's never been more dangerous. Time is the new enemy as flippers race to rehabilitate properties before renovation costs climb too high and market prices fall too low. This is the type of risk that attracts Russell Hantz, the Master Manipulator from three seasons of "Survivor," where bold moves can make or break you, and the dollar bill is the bottom line.Throwing down cold hard cash on a house that you just viewed takes brains, intuition and a whole lot of guts. However, Hantz isn't working alone. Determined to be one of the biggest house flippers in Houston, he's bringing along his big brother, Shawn, as his project manager as well as the beautiful and savvy real estate agent, Kristen. The brothers butt heads more than a pair of rams in a staring contest but giving them some semblance of balance is Kristen, who isn't afraid to slap some sense into the Hantz brothers when their egos get in the way of making money.
I don't know about buying a house from him but for sure I will watch this!
Il watch an episode of it and see if its good.
I'm "flipped off" that he got his own show.

Is it just the heat, or does it seem to others that government has devolved into little more than a sophisticated form of panhandling?
Rather than actually providing services to taxpayers, the primary function of many highly paid local positions seems to be seeing how much money one agency can wrangle out of another.
Rather than designate one among a handful of key local officials to be overall coordinator of emergency services, the County Commission wants to hire a full-time coordinator so he or she can pursue federal money for such things as snow removal.
Wasn't the reason for having an emergency coordinator to ensure that police, sheriff, fire, and ambulance workers pull together in times of crisis?
Wouldn't it make more sense to simply designate a top official from one of those branches to coordinate with the others when an emergency strikes?
Does our ability to cope with disaster get better or worse if, instead of a person experienced in dealing with emergencies, we hire someone whose expertise is in filling out paperwork to recover road workers' overtime when it snows?
God knows Marion and Marion County need work on streets and roads. Why is it the first cost taxpayers must endure is not for repairs but for a grant-writer to see what money can be eked out of the state or federal government?
And why would the state make money available to rebuild bridges only on dirt roads?
Do our legislators, who already seem to spend inordinate time devising inane rules to ensure handguns always are present in public buildings, have nothing better to do than think up odd provisos that force local governments into spending more and more time panhandling for unneeded scraps?
The federal government apparently wants to undermine local auto dealers by providing vehicles at cost — but only if the vehicles are used for police, not medical responders. What sense is there in any of this?
We're not about to suggest that the city or county unilaterally disarm themselves in the ongoing intergovernmental war to panhandle for bigger shares of state and federal money. We are suggesting that the overhead needed to operate this bizarre game of grantsmanship is one of the reasons taxes at all levels are higher than needed.
Instead of worrying about policy, all government wants to do is grow larger. Opposition to the Keystone pipeline and support for wind farms had very little to do with environmentalism or efficiency and much more to do with potential revenue the county can or can't cash in on.
Although some still lament windmills' incursion into the bucolic beauty of the Flint Hills, wind power is no more economically viable than the pipeline. Both depend on huge subsidies and complicated sweetheart deals cut by lawmakers with the involvement of multi-national mega-powers.
The key difference is that the county was barred from cashing in on one deal but smartly allowed to stick its snout in the trough for the other.
In the end, rather than encourage government to save and focus on needed work, the system urges local officials to panhandle for scraps then go even more deeply into debt to pay for what's actually needed.
J. Wellington Wimpy, who would gladly pay tomorrow for a hamburger today, would be right at home in local halls of government. Unfortunately, we see no way around it.

Georgia, like the nation, is faced with a challenge of changing the way education is delivered so that all children graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in post secondary education and the world of work in a 21st century. Georgia's schools need educators who know how to create learning cultures that foster the acquisition of knowledge and the communication and innovative problem solving abilities students will use throughout their lives.
The University System of Georgia understands the critical role of partnerships in developing well-educated students. The focus of the USG strategic plan, to "develop more intentional partnerships with K-12 education and the Technical College system", places a high priority on partnerships. As part of the Alliance of Education Agency Heads, the USG works collaboratively to ensure all students have the educational opportunities they deserve and need.

Tis the season, hunnies!! This color guide revolves around "hints of red". This is my absolute personal favorite family of all because it introduces people to the world of warmth in a non-commital/non-scary kind of way. Scenerio: let's say you've been a blonde or a brunette forever but you're suuuuuper bored with your color. And let's say you want to venture out and try something new! "Hints of red" would be a great way to test the waters because, again, you can try this out using a gloss or temporary color before going with a more permanent option. Glosses and temporary colors will fade out nicely over the course of 6-8 weeks so if you decide warmth isn't for you, you don't have to keep it– just let it go away. Ask your colorist about a gloss or if you're buying a temporary box of color to use at home, look up the reviews and make sure it fades nicely. When I talk about hints of red with my clients, I use fun descriptive words like apple cider, pumpkin latte, cinnamon stick, and copper penny. They're not quite reds, but they have more warmth than anything in the gold family. These are all a bunch of "almost colors" that never fully cross over into the red family. BUT… this color should come with a warning– it's extremely addictive and a total gateway drug to real reds (which are the next hair post). Here are some things you should know when considering "hints of red".
- Contrary to popular belief, reds are actually GREAT for those with pink/redness to their skin. Red tones in the hair will often "upstage" the red tones in your skin and make blemishes, acne and rosacea less obvious. I speak from experience– I have red hair and I have a lot of pink/red in my t-zone and the it downplays the tone of my skin. When a client is going through a really rough time with their skin, I tend to take them to the "hint of red" if not red family because all of the sudden the hair color pops and the redness in the skin takes a back seat. I know this is a sensitive subject for many of you, but believe me, this is something can really help. The red tones of the hair does not make the red tones in the skin stick out more. It's magic and it's one of my all time favorite tricks for helping someone through a hard moment/trying to repair their skin.
- Conserve that color! You paid for it and if you like it, you should try to keep it! Use a color conserving shampoo instead of your normal shampoo. My favorite is this one but it gets very expensive, so if you're on a budget, try the cheaper version here! I like to get both and alternate!
- What if you hate it? If you try a having a "hint of red" and you decide you hate it, use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a week to make it fade a little faster. One I really like is this.
- Who can wear hints of red? Pretty much anyone can wear hints of red. I would suggest putting a tiny bit of color on your brows though. You never want to be that girl with warm hair and grayish/mousy brows. It pulls everything together and makes it look so much more natural. Don't leave the color on your brows the full time. You just want to take the ashe away, not make them too warm. I tend to apply mine with a clean mascara wand (called a spoolie) and leave them for 10-15 min max.
- Play with your makeup. The makeup you used before may not be the right makeup after you get your "hints of red". Maybe instead of black liner, you try a dark brown. Or maybe instead of lipstick, your new go to becomes a gloss. Who knows! Play around. Go to a counter and ask for advice. If you were terrified to wear an olive based shadow before, maybe now is the time! My favorite makeup tones for red hair tones are bronzes and rosy pinks. Luckily a rich cherry red lip still works with red hair so feel free to go bold there.
Next up: Full on REDS! All types!

Although most Americans would strenuously deny that we slavishly follow European trends, the U.S. is straining to become more secular. We talk a good game. We abandon church sermons and services to devour S&M novels, which become blatant bestsellers, openly reviewed and discussed. We scrap the squalid adult stores of yore to erect "romance emporiums," which become sexy shopping magnets for couples and young women.
Unlike the Europeans, however, we remain manacled to Puritanical ideals and to earlier Judeo-Christian traditions regarding sexuality and gender. Believers, nonbelievers, or "decline to state," we are still under the thumb of an ancient deity who thunders, "Thou shalt not!!" to a whole array of sexual actions, beliefs, and thoughts.
Ever wonder what the world of sexuality and sensuality was like before Judaism and Christianity laid such a heavy imprint on human behavior?

May 04, 2009
By Roey Gilberg
LOS ANGELES -- Paul S. Otellini, president and CEO of Intel Corporation, paid a visit to UCLA Anderson on April 22, 2009, addressing a packed house in Korn Convocation Hall as part of UCLA Anderson's "Distinguished Speaker Series." His talk, titled "The State of Technology Amidst Global Economic Turmoil," touched on a wide array of topics, from his journey through the ranks of Intel, to Intel's present and planned undertakings.
Otellini began by discussing the decision-making process, a theme he would return to several times. "One of the first things I learned was the importance of making good decisions," he said. As an example, he recalled Intel's strategic shift from producing memory chips to microprocessors in the mid 1980s, a difficult but ultimately successful move for President Andy Grove and the rest of the company's leadership at the time. He then imparted to the audience the lesson he took from that crucial period: "Take a critical view of what you're doing," he advised. "Don't be emotionally invested." Otellini also discussed changes he made to Intel after he was named CEO in 2005. After analyzing the state of the company, he decided restructuring efforts were necessary. "Intel became fat and bloated," he said.
On the heels of Intel's recent $7 billion domestic investment initiative, Otellini discussed the company's commitment to investment and growth even during difficult economic climates. He recalled that after he unveiled the initiative at an economic forum in Washington, D.C. earlier this year, President Obama called him personally to thank him for a sorely needed piece of good economic news.
Otellini spent the last part of his talk continuing to dispense personal guidance to the audience. With regards to looking for that first job out of school, he cautioned against a lifetime of job-hopping, and instead recommended choosing a company in which you can see yourself working long-term. "Make the first decision as if it's the last decision," he advised, noting that he has been with Intel since 1974. He also suggested that everyone has something to offer if you make sure to pay attention. "Learn from those around you," he said.
Notable attendee was Charles E. Young, Chancellor Emeritus of UCLA and formerly a member of Intel's board of directors for over 30 years.
