How this Community came into existence:
Not too long ago, Jenna was working in a traditional pharmacy. She found herself deeply wanting to treat not only the symptoms of her client's illnesses but heal the CAUSE of the illnesses to ensure the conditions did not recreate themselves.
That was when she decided to follow the whispers of her heart and open a non-traditional holistic pharmacy that allowed her the ability to treat the whole person, the cause AND effect of their illnesses. She quickly found she was providing her clients the opportunity to live a fuller and healthier lifestyle that they truly enjoyed and were extremely grateful for.
Now, she has rapidly become the go-to source for everything body, mind, and soul in Midland, TX. Her priority is to ensure every person that is led to her is immediately on their way to authentic healing. To fulfill this mission, she has partnered with talented and devoted holistic practitioners that she trusts whole-heartedly.
To keep up with the high demand for her personal services, we created this "The Health & Happiness Community" where you will have the pleasure of interacting and learning from her weekly and have the option to hire her as your personal health and life coach (limited spots available).
The vision for this program is to create a loving and accepting community in Midland where we are learning from the best in the industry alongside a group of likeminded individuals who are also on their own healing journey. This expansive vision will ensure not only that our own lives are healthier and happier, but that the lives of the generations that follow are transformed for the greater good of all.

Aluminum Wiring Repair Online Seminar – Aluminum wire in your home can be dangerous to your family.
Aluminum Wiring Repair should be your utmost concern if you have aluminum wiring in your home.
The question is not, "Do I have fire hazards in my home as a result of aluminum wiring?"
Instead it should be, "How many fire hazards do I have as a result of aluminum wire in the walls of my home?"
In EVERY home we have affected aluminum wiring repair in, we have have found burnouts. A burnout is the dangerous overheating of an aluminum wiring connection where the damage can range from a simple browning of the insulation jacket around the affected wire to outright melting of the connections due to fire.
Simply put, these connections need to be repaired before a disaster results.
The problem is – there is a confusion about just how to repair them correctly.
Many different proposals are abound on the internet and recommended by even well-meaning electricians.
Also, accepting just any so-called "Approved" aluminum wiring repair connectors you see on the shelves of home renovation stores can prove to be dangerous to you and your family.
If you get all your questions answered, don't miss the FINAL WORD on aluminum wiring repair in a presentation entitled, "Aluminum Wiring Repair SHOCKER Webinar".
If you want to know the only two products proven by top scientists to work without fail, this webinar is for you.
If you want to know which 3 approved repairs promoted are PROVEN to fail on a regular basis, you won't want to miss this webinar.
If you want to know why you must use ONLY a aluminum wire trained master electrician to complete your aluminum wiring repair, this webinar is for you.
If you want to know where to find the right aluminum wiring repair electrical contractor for your job, this webinar is specifically for you.

Current Pakistan Team Captain, Bismah Maroof made her ODI debut on 13th December, 2006 against India and made her T20I debut on 29th May, 2009 against Ireland. She was also a part of the squad at the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup in Australia and was selected to play in the 2010 Asian Games in China.
She is one of only four cricketers in the ODIs, along with England's Charlotte Edwards, Ireland's Mary-Pat Moore, and Sri Lanka's Chamari Atapattu, to have been dismissed on 99. Currently she is the highest run-getter for the Pakistan cricket team. Apart from the national side, she plays for Asia Women XI in domestic circuit.
The dependable middle-order batswoman Maroof was a part of the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier as well as in the ICC Womens World Cup last year but due to hand injury, she has been ruled out and replaced by all-rounder Iram Javed.

My original thought was to just have them separated for this next chapter, with the chapter more like a series of scenes of the different things they have to do while they're apart, and then bring them back together in the next chapter after that, because, seriously, at some point I have to get on with it.
And I've been trying to figure out how the week of celebrations should go, because I still think that's the best way to tackle it, starting with a big ball on her birthday, then the wedding at the end of the week. I'm even thinking it could be a masquerade ball, because first, costumes are always awesome, and second, with masks and costumes, all sorts of subplotty stuff could happen without them knowing who exactly is up to no good. Although it should be totally obvious.
I think I've picked a dress to model her wedding gown on, too, but I may keep looking. Rather than come up with something off the top of my head, I'm planning to rip off some other royal's gown.
I've been helping D study for his history exam all afternoon, so I'm not really in the mood to actually put anything down on paper. Maybe I'll be in a mood tomorrow.

"Be careful when opening the overhead compartments, as items may have shifted during flight."
This familiar phrase by flight attendants upon landing seems a fitting description of market turbulence during the third quarter. An attack on Saudi Arabia's oil refining infrastructure (possibly supported by Iran) heightened geopolitical risk in the region, the on-and-off trade/tariff negotiations between the U.S. and China, decelerating global growth, Brexit, the inverted yield curve's "is it different this time" debate, and the seemingly ever-present Washington political intrigue with the latest impeachment inquiry all contributed to a rocky third quarter. Stocks (as measured by the S&P 500) had a mid-quarter drop of 6%, and the bond market hit the panic button, driving the 30-year Treasury yield below 2% for the first time ever. Fixed-income credit investors, however, were unperturbed by the commotion in the market as continued strong demand left investment-grade1 credit spreads mostly unchanged—and even spread declines for non-investment-grade borrowers. For the full quarter, stocks recovered their footing and climbed the proverbial wall of worry—producing positive results across all indices. Bond indices delivered solid quarterly returns as well, with year-to-date results (particularly for corporate bonds) near all-time highs.
Weitz equity and balanced funds registered gains in the quarter, and both relative and absolute year-to-date results, are very good. Please see Wally and Brad's Value Matters Letter and the equity and balanced funds' Quarterly Commentaries for detailed analysis.
Despite continued relatively low exposure to high yield bonds across our funds and lower duration than our benchmarks (defensive positioning), Weitz fixed income funds delivered good results for the quarter and year to date. Further detail about contributors to performance can be found in the fixed income funds' Quarterly Commentaries.
The graph below illustrates the decline of select Treasury rates over the past quarter and year.
U.S. Treasury Yields (%)
Source: Bloomberg
As mentioned, corporate bonds and other credit-sensitive securities had strong performance during the quarter keeping pace with Treasury bonds as credit spreads were mostly unchanged (except non-investment-grade bonds outperformed investment-grade bonds). A broad measure of investment-grade corporate bond spreads, compiled by ICE BofAML, remained unchanged for the quarter, closing at 122 basis points. Compared to a year ago, these spreads finished the quarter marginally higher (nine basis points).
Lower interest rates + declining credit spreads = heightened investment risk
The formula above, while true, does not suggest that credit investment risk has reached its maximum, especially since interest rates and credit spreads can conceivably move lower still. It does, however, speak directionally to the "math problem" facing fixed-income investors, as base interest rates (U.S. Treasuries) and corporate spreads have declined since the start of the current economic expansion. The narratives in the marketplace are that domestic inflows into fixed income will continue to be strong; buyers from overseas facing negative returns in their home countries will gravitate to the U.S. (where investment rates are still positive); and open-ended/unending quantitative easing (QE) by global central banks is inevitable. However plausible any of these scenarios are, today's rates and credit spreads leave less and less room for error, for example, from an inflationary shock resulting from massive deficit spending or credit hiccups from economic slowdowns or business failures. Over the long term, bond returns are driven primarily by the coupon returns on offer. Today's low rates and low credit spreads imply low forward returns.
The chart below illustrating the effective yield for the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield BB index demonstrates the "math problem" investors face. The index yield began the year at above 6 percent and fell below 4 percent, for the first time ever, in the third quarter. That investors would accept less than 4 percent return for highly levered, non-investment-grade bonds might require the bonds to be relabeled "not so high yield" and is reminiscent of Warren Buffett's stock market quote, "You pay a very high price…for a cheery consensus."

Although the daily news can often shift investor sentiment, we understand that fundamentals matter more than headlines. Our fixed-income investment philosophy is straightforward. We believe the key to winning is not losing. Permanent losses of capital are a bane to long-term compounding—and especially so in fixed-income investing. We certainly do not ignore the macro but understand the pitfalls of trying to guess market moves. Caution has arguably always been our calling card in managing fixed-income assets on behalf of clients. We want to be adequately compensated for any risks we assume. We are index agnostic and select assets one at a time. We concentrate in the ideas that we believe best offer attractive risk-adjusted returns, taking into consideration the general level of interest rates and the credit quality of each investment.
We intend to stick to our knitting and be persistent in our hunt for investment opportunities. We may often resemble prospector Yukon Cornelius of 1964's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer when, during his hunt for gold (or was it peppermint?) he regularly exclaimed, "Nothin'!" We know every time we say no ("Nothin'!") to an investment, we enhance our overall understanding, which ultimately leads us closer to the right yes. Our version of "life-sustaining supplies" (kudos to those who know Yukon's) are: fundamental analysis, security selection, favorable risk-adjusted return profiles, and consistent and thorough credit surveillance.
Please see all fund commentaries on our website for additional information regarding third-quarter portfolio activity and current positioning. We look forward to taking advantage of any valuation disparities that will invariably develop (the one constant in markets is change) and hope to continue to earn your trust.

Okay, I am going to be brutally honest; regular ladies just don't turn me on any more. I used to date girls from work, but since discovering Belmont Park escorts of https://charlotteaction.org/belmont-park-escorts, they just don't do anything for me anymore. I am pleased that I have discovered the hot girls of Belmont Park as I can now finally have some adult fun without commitment. I would so much rather be young free and single, and have a good time with the raunchy and sexy ladies of Belmont Park. I never knew what the Americans meant when they said raunchy, but now I know, and these girls are raunchy!
So, what does raunchy mean? Well, it means that a lady is really sexy but at the same time she has many other attributes. The attributes include a certain way of dressing, and talking. Raunchy girls express themselves differently, and every time they open their mouths, something comes out which sounds sexy no matter what they are talking about. The girls at Belmont Park escorts have perfected the art of sounding raunchy, and I just love it. Most of them have that sort of voices that sound sexy all of the time, and that really turns me on as well.
What else goes with raunchy? Well, lingerie certainly goes hand in hand with being raunchy. I have met escorts before but I have never meet escorts who have been able to indulge my lingerie fantasies. The Belmont Park escorts wear some of the most amazing lingerie, and I can't take my eyes of their gear most of the time. It is sexy beyond belief, and every time I see them, I feel like seriously over indulging myself. They are more than sexy, and this is what makes so raunchy in my opinion. I am sure that many other chaps who have the pleasure of dating them, feel exactly the same way.
Even their apartments and boudoirs are raunchy! The first time I entered the boudoir of Belmont Park escorts, I could not believe my eyes. This place was full if sexy images and kinky toys to indulge your every pleasure. At first I did not know what to do with myself but now I have learned just to chill out and relax. I let the girls take the lead, and I know that they will skillfully indulge my every pleasure. It is a bit like a very sinful playroom for adults only, and I defy any man not to get turned on.
Will I date Belmont Park escorts forever? Maybe not, but for the time being, these little vixens have got all of my attention. You can indulge every delight with the raunchy ladies of Belmont Park, and they will fulfill every pleasure that you ask for. I have some serious adult fun on my dates, and I have to say that I never thought I would be able to enjoy myself so much in the company of a lady. So, if you are looking for some raunchy company, look no further than the raunchy ladies of Belmont Park.…

Renewed confidence within the secured loans industry
Renewed Confidence Within The Secured Loans Industry
Over the course of the last three years, the home loans range, which includes mortgages, remortgages and secured loans have gone through a period of complete turmoil. It was a feature of mortgages and remortgages, during this period, that they had low interest rates.
This was mainly due to the fact that the Base Lending Rate of The Bank Of England was reduced to half of one percent, which was introduced in an attempt to kick start the economy, although this turned out to be a vain hope.
The low rates also did little to encourage people to apply for mortgages or indeed loan remortgages, and this was caused by the dramatic fall in property values. Everyone felt so unsure of the future that they had no wish to take on a mortgage to become a homeowner.
Likewise, those who were already homeowners, preferred to remain in their current home rather than move to another property due, not only to the plummeting of property values, but also because of the general uncertainty of the times that they were living in
Now that property prices are stabilising and rising, interest rates have already been hiked up by lenders, such as the Abbey.
Applications for a remortgage went down in the same manner as had mortgages.
This is not surprising, as remortgages are simply mortgages that replace the current mortgage with another from a new mortgage provider. A better mortgage deal can be achieved by remortgaging.
Secured loans were more adversely affected than the other two home loans, and fell so dramatically that lender after lender and broker after broker exited the market.
Things for the secured loans sector were looking dire for over two years, with the abolition of 100% equity plans and even 125% LTV secured loans which were available previously from a number of lenders, including First Plus and Paragon.
Self declarations of income were done away with for self employed borrowers, who were now compelled to produce accounts when applying for finance. There have been a number of improvements in secured loans during the past few months.
The first of these was the re introduction by Link Loans of self certs for self employed homeowners who can apply for a homeowner loan providing they have been trading for at least six months, can provide three months bank statements and have a maximum LTV of 60%.
The Cardiff based secured loan lender, Nemo, has increased both the LTV for employed and self employed applicants by 5% to 85% and 75% respectively. The most recent sign of renewed confidence was shown today, again by Link Loans, who have increased their maximum loan value from 30,000 to 50,000 which is a signiicant show of confidence.
Secured loans of 100,000 or more can be obtained from other providers.

Deep-red Prescott demands resignation of state Rep. David Stringer over racist comments
Prescott Mayor Greg Mengarelli reads a statement calling on state Rep. David Stringer to resign from the Arizona Legislature over his racist comments. Dustin Gardiner, The Republic | azcentral.com
PRESCOTT — The Prescott City Council voted Tuesday to demand the immediate resignation of state Rep. David Stringer over his use of racially derogatory comments.
Mayor Greg Mengarelli said Stringer's comments, widely seen as supporting white nationalism, don't reflect the Prescott community he represents and have harmed the city's image.
"His abhorrent words do not reflect our city or our community and while we condemn them, that word, any word, is not strong enough to express our disdain," Mengarelli said.
"As proud members of this community, we are horrified that the opinions expressed by Mr. Stringer exist."
The council's 6-1 vote came five days after The Phoenix New Times published recordings of comments Stringer made to Arizona State University students last month.
Among other remarks, the lawmaker said, "African-Americans and other racial groups don't … blend in" after coming to the United States and that, unlike immigrants of European descent, they "always look different."
He said such differences create "tensions" and "burdens on our system."
Stringer, R-Prescott, has also said he views immigration of nonwhite people to the country as a threat to national identity, a view also reflected in an online opinion column he wrote last year.
In June, he came under fire after he was filmed saying immigration is an "existential threat" that will change the face of the United States because "there aren't enough white kids to go around" in public schools.
Stringer didn't respond to a request for comment after Tuesday's Prescott council vote.
The council's vote doesn't have a binding legal effect. Nevertheless, it was a rare and significant symbolic act in the deeply red community, one that's unprecedented in recent history.
Residents in the audience stood and clapped after the vote. One apparent Stringer supporter left beforehand, shouting that the meeting was a "public hanging."
Following the vote, Arizona House Speaker-elect Rusty Bowers stripped Stringer of his vice-chair position on the Judiciary Committee. A sentencing reform committee that Stringer had been set to chair was dissolved.
Stringer also was removed from the House Education Committee, but remains on the Government Committee.
Councilman: Voters knew Stringer's views on immigrants
Councilman Phil Goode cast the lone opposing vote. He said the vote wasn't within the scope of the council's duties and noted Stringer was easily re-elected by the area's voters on Nov. 6.
"They re-elected him by a large margin with an understanding of his concerns about assimilation of immigrants that were widely published last June prior to his November election," Goode said.
He said while he doesn't condone Stringer's words, the council's move could cost them Stringer's support on issues at the state Capitol.
Stringer represents Legislative District 1, which spans a largely-rural swathe of central Arizona. It stretches north from Anthem to Prescott and Chino Valley.
Stringer won re-election with 33.5 percent of the vote in a four-way race for the district's two House seats. He received more than 67,000 votes — twice as many as the closest Democrat.
The other council members struck a much different tone. Billie Orr, the city's mayor pro tem, seconded the resolution calling for Stringer's resignation, saying that inaction isn't an option because "silence is complicit."
Mengarelli said he hopes the step will lead others to demand Stringer step down from the Arizona House of Representatives. He said he also hopes the House will begin an ethics investigation.
An ethics investigation could lead to Stringer's expulsion. He could also face a recall election, though no effort has been formally declared.
Progress Now Arizona, a progressive advocacy group, is circulating a petition calling for his resignation. "A man with such deep-seated racist views has no place representing Arizona," said Josselyn Berry, the group's co-director.
Stringer stripped of chairmanship for 'vile' comments
Bowers, R-Mesa, hasn't announced any plans for the House to investigate Stringer, though he strongly criticized his words.
"His remarks don't reflect the sentiments of the Arizona Legislature, the constituents we represent, and the policies we enact," Bowers said in a statement last week, calling the statements "vile."
Bowers declined to comment Tuesday on calls for Stringer's expulsion, though a spokesman said he would continue to monitor the controversy.
Numerous Arizona leaders and organizations have called for Stringer's resignation.
That list includes several prominent Republicans such as Gov. Doug Ducey, Arizona Republican Party Chairman Jonathan Lines and Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk.
Ducey, Lines and Polk all called for Stringer's resignation after his June comments.

- Arizona lawmaker: Immigrants represent 'threat' to U.S. due to lack of 'white kids
- Arizona GOP calls on Stringer to resign over 'aren't enough white kids' comments

Italy's soccer legend Francesco Totti officially left AS Roma club, stepping down from the role of executive he has served in the last two years, the former player announced on Monday.
His decision put an end to over 30 years of professional career in the Italian soccer.
"I resign from my role as executive of AS Roma," Totti told a much-expected press conference held at the Italian National Olympic Committee headquarters here, and live broadcast by state-run RAI TV.
"I had hoped this day would never come, instead it has arrived," he added, claiming his decision had much to do with the way the club was run in the latest years.
The former player said the club's management, and especially current American president James Pallotta, excluded him from any relevant decision.
"It was not my fault, and I say this because I have never had the change of being involved in a technical project," Totti pointed out.
"This is a goodbye and not a farewell, because it is impossible to keep Totti out of Rome, at least if we look at things from the outside."
"I am going to take other leads now, but I will always be ready in case another property will be ready to strongly rely on me," he stressed.
Francesco Totti retired in May 2017, aged 39. The veteran midfielder and second striker is considered the best player the AS Roma has ever had, and is still much revered by an overwhelming majority of its fans.
A born-and-bred Roman, Totti had in fact a very special bond with the major football team of the Italian capital.
Born in San Giovanni neighborhood, Totti joined the youth team of AS Roma in 1989, at the age of 13, and never left the club. In May 1993, he debuted in the major League at 16, playing with the so-called Giallorossi --Italian for Yellow-Reds from the club's home colors -- through 25 seasons, 786 matches, and 307 goals.
Totti ranked second in terms of caps (615) in the Serie A League, after AC Milan's Paolo Maldini and before Juventus' Gigi Buffon.
He also marked the third highest figure in the history of Italy's soccer in terms of number of matches played with the same team (786), again following Paolo Maldini (902 matches) and Inter-Milan's Javier Zanetti (858).
In his long carrier with the club, he helped AS Roma win one Italian Serie A League title, two domestic Coppa Italia titles, and two Supercoppa Italiana titles.
After leading his team to its third and last Serie A title in 2001 (the previous one dating 18 years back) Totti was acclaimed by an estimated one million fans at the Circus Maximus and across the streets of Rome during a night of emotional celebrations.
He also served in Italy's national team from 1998 to 2006. He won the FIFA World Cup with the Azzurri team Germany 2006.
During his press conference on Monday, Totti explained the AS Roma board did not involve him in any crucial decision concerning the team's future.
"Considering the current conditions, I deemed it right and due to take such decision (to resign)," he said.
"They were aware I wanted to give much to the team, yet they never wanted me, and kept me out of everything."
Totti added he virtually had "no relationship" with AS Roma current consultant (and former technical director) Franco Baldini, and he "never will."
"One of us had to leave, and I stood aside. Too many people are having a say in too many things, and this is never useful."
In the 2018-2019 season, won by Juventus, the AS Roma finished sixth and did not manage to achieve a place in the next Champions League.

Back to School: Giving Back to Youth
September 7, 2018
For the second year in a row, members of the Mary's Woods Back to School Backpack Program, have raised money to purchase backpacks and school supplies for the foster children at Youth Villages.
Due to the generosity of Mary's Woods residents, plus additional discounts offered by Costco and Office Depot, this year the group purchased 52 backpacks and supplies for the kids who range from elementary through high school.
"High school is a particularly important time in the development of a young person," said Ron Sloan, who with his wife, Diane, helped organize the effort. "Students want to fit in. Without a backpack, many foster kids carry their books and school supplies in garbage
bags, which immediately identifies them as being different."
For kids living in foster homes and those waiting to find a family, being different can often lead to problems developing friendships and can have a negative effect on academics.
"These backpacks will go a long way in boosting self-esteem," added Diane, "and of course, helping students achieve in the classroom and beyond."
Mary's Woods has a proud history of nurturing intergenerational friendships. From the St. John the Apostle mentor program to the recent Grandkids Camp, the MW Backpack Program is yet another example of our community helping youth in the Portland-metro area.
The group will donate the backpacks and supplies to Youth Villages on September 24.

[WARNING: There will be SPOILERS for the Supergirl TV series ahead.]
There may be comic fans who don't know his name, but if you've followed an animated DC Comics property or comic book crossover events, you've seen the Martian Manhunter. The fact that he's not as well known the world over as his colleague Superman, Batman or The Flash is just one bit of proof that he's severely underrated in his own time. But that didn't stop fans from wondering if the alien being known as J'onn J'onzz would be joining Zack Snyder's big screen Justice League.
It seems that ship has sailed, but another has arrived in its place, with the green-skinned alien making his debut in the world of CBS' Supergirl TV series. The show's version of the hero is a bit of a departure from his classic origin, but there's no doubt his arrival will get the diehard fans talking - and the casual viewers wondering what all the fuss is about. With that in mind, we thought it wise to lay out the essential bits of Martian Manhunter history, and explain why he makes the rest of DC's biggest heroes seem like little league-ers trying to make it in the Majors.
Here is our list of 10 Things You Need to Know About Martian Manhunter.
10 He Was Introduced in 'Detective Comics' in 1955
As famous as the Martian Manhunter may be today, he came from surprisingly humble beginnings, making his debut in a backup story of "Detective Comics" #225 by Joseph Samachson and Joe Certa. No, not as a supporting character in a Batman tale, but as the accidental result of "The Strange Experiment of Dr. Erdel." The doctor in question was trying to build a cutting edge communications device, but built an interplanetary teleporter instead. When he turned it on, out popped the green-skinned Martian taken from his home and family against his will. So, what made him stay on Earth? Well, his appearance was a bit of a shock to Dr. Erdel (understandably), causing the elderly scientist to die on the spot.
As entertaining as it may be to imagine the entire origin story of a future Justice League legend being a complete accident played out over a few seconds (and then imagining it again, and again), the Martian didn't dwell on his predicament. Instead, he figured his family would get to work on bringing him home, and began to focus instead on solving crimes under the disguise of John Jones, a detective in Middletown, USA.
9 He's Considered The Last of His Race
The Golden age origin of J'onn J'onzz was, like most dc superheroes introduced at the time, eventually updated into a far richer, more archetypal story. Early stories claimed he wads teleported away from friends and family, and even communicated with them back on Mars from time to time. But as the years went by, reboots and reimaginings made J'onn's origin far more tragic: he was the last surviving Martian, and had been for some time, living in isolation on Mars until he was teleported to Earth. And it was only his twin brother, Ma'alefa'ak he had to blame.
Among his Martian society, nothing was more sacred than the race's communal psychic community - when every member of the race is gifted with telepathy, a new level of culture, family, and oneness is to be expected. So when J'onn learned that his brother, a Manhunter (policeman) like him, was charged with the highest crime imaginable - mind rape - he did his best to defend him. But Ma'alefa'ak was found guilty, and his punishment was severe: he was be stripped of his psychic powers, and have his memory of every possessing them erased. Filled with rage, he aimed high with his revenge, determined to kill each and every Martian who possessed the skills he did not.
His answer was a plague passed telepathically, causing every Martian to burst into flames when trying to use their powers. Ma'alefa'ak figured he would be the only one immune, but his twin brother J'onn survived - his wife and children, however, did not. The two did battle and believed eachother dead, leaving J'onn with nothing but memories of his family and people, until he was called to Earth. Other Martian survivors or criminals have cropped up since, but it doesn't change the fact that J'onn is the last embodiment of Martian peace and honor.
8 Shapeshifting is His Specialty
We'll get to the rest of J'onn's superpowers soon - and there a lot of them - but the first one that most heroes or Villains are likely to encounter is his ability to shapeshift, taking on the appearance of whoever he desires. He originally took the human form of a dying detective to stop crime while hiding, but has since used the power to distract, mislead, or infiltrate countless organizations, including the Justice League. But the process is a bit more complicated than just "changing what he looks like": J'onn, like all Green Martians, is able to not just change what he looks like, but modify his body on an even chemical level. That means that aside from the ability to disguise himself as any human being or animal to blend into a crowd or landscape, increase or decrease his body mass as need be, and even take a monstrous form, he can adapt his physiology to any environment.
Chase an enemy to a planet deadly to oxygen-breathing organisms? Fine, J'onn can modify his body chemistry to be fed by whatever element is most plentiful. His mind is the only real limit, since all Martian strength comes from their mental power and concentration. It's this mental focus that Batman realized was more important in battle than even J'onn realized. According to Bats, Martian shapeshifting was used almost as a reflex, as constant analysis and dissection of an opponent's fighting style meant J'onn's body could react on the fly, forming the advantage needed.
7 He's The Most Powerful Being on Earth
When we hinted that the ability to completely modify his physical form on a physiological level was just the tip of the iceberg, we weren't kidding. In addition to that case of 'Martian mind over matter,' J'onn has almost every mental or psychic ability ever introduced in comics, including the skill to read minds, control minds, project illusions into minds, manipulating or reading memories, and knowledge transference from one brain to another. His mind-reading powers are so advanced, he has even opened his consciousness to every mind on planet Earth - at once.
He also is a telekinetic, granting him the gift of flight, as well as the option of controlling and moving objects mentally. From there, it's simplest to say that he has every ability possessed by Superman: superstrength, invulnerability, X-ray vision, super-breath, and the ability to fire beams of energy out of his eyes.
If that wasn't enough, add the ability to change his body's density to phase through objects, become invisible, and in one case, regenerate his entire body from his severed head. Add in a keen detective instinct, and you can see why Batman considers him the Dark Knight and Man of Steel rolled into one - and why Superman has referred to him as "the most powerful being on Earth."
6 White Martians Are His Sworn Enemies
J'onn J'onzz is considered the last survivor of his Martian race... but that doesn't mean he's the last surviving Martian. You see, the population of the planet Mars (prior to the plague) was divided into two groups: the Green Martians, and the White Martians. In the history of fantastic moral tales, the Green Martians were the wise, peace-loving society that stood opposed to the greedy, slave-owning White Martians. When each respective race cloned themselves to create a workforce for the planet Saturn (just go with us), the Greens considered these beings their equals - where the Whites considered them slaves worthy of cruelty.
That was just one reason why the two Martian societies came to civil war, with planet Earth being caught in the crossfire. But the Green Martians won the day, banishing their enemies to the Still Zone (which may or may not be the famous Phantom Zone from Superman's Kryptonian mythology). On look at a White Martian is all you need to see that they're intended to be the villains in almost any encounter, and most comic stories play out that exact way.
5 Fire is His Only Weakness
If you were wondering how anything could possibly harm a superhero who makes Superman's power set seem lacking, there is, of course, one exception: fire. In the early days of the Martian Manhunter, fire was only effective against the alien hero when he was actually in his natural form (offering yet another reason to live in hiding). But it isn't just that fire burns J'onn J'onzz, it disrupts the most pivotal weapon he has: his mind.
The comics would later explain that the aversion to fire wasn't just one of self-preservation or a dislike of blisters. As the comics would later reveal, Mars wasn't always populated by two different species, but one type of being who preceded both of them, known only as The Burning. These creatures were bathed in flame, hungering for more planets and peoples to conquer, and spread like a wildfire across the universe. The Guardians of the Universe - the same group of celestial beings who created the Green Lantern Corps - formed a permanent rift in the species (dividing them into Green and White), instilling a fear of fire to make sure they would never realize the extent of their power.
The result: when J'onn (or any Martian) is exposed to flame, the very core of their being is shaken, sending them into a mental panic that typically renders them unable to even hold a solid form, melting into pools of liquid. It's a troubling explanation, but when J'onn accepted this fact, his weakness to everyday fire was ended once and for all.
4 His Green Arrow Team-Up Redefined 'The Brave And The Bold'
It should already be clear that J'onn J'onzz and Superman have a lot in common, from their origins, powers, and respective cultural histories. DC Comics put that fact to good use in the years that followed his creation, since the executives were concerned that using Superman in each and every "Justice League" issue or story - along with his own series - would run the risk of readers growing bored of the same old heroics. So it's fair to describe his role as an ally or charter member of the Justice League as a Superman substitute in practical terms, using the same powers the Man of Steel probably would have in the same situation.
But the popularity of the Manhunter from Mars was hard to ignore, and even though he hadn't yet earned a standalone series, he was teamed up Green Arrow for their own adventure, without DC's famous faces helping sell copies. The adventure shared with Green Arrow (who, himself, was created as Batman substitute for the very same reasons) saw the two heroes track down a supervillain suspect, mind-controlled into doing battle before the job was done. It was a winning combination, and "The Brave and The Bold" would remain a team-up title for the remaining 149 issues (with Batman sadly taking the spotlight all to himself).
3 He Became a Key Member of The Justice League
J'onn J'onzz was no stranger to the Justice League before ever becoming a full-fledged member, but it wasn't until 1987 that he finally got his time in the spotlight. Under writers Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis, the slumping "Justice League of America" series was replaced with a brand new version of the team, with a greater emphasis on the sense of humor and quirky personalities modern comic readers would expect. The Martian Manhunter was there from the start of this "Justice League International," taking on the role of the often confused, out of touch alien being for the zany supporting heroes to bounce off of (but also had the stated eccentricity of being particularly fond of Earth's Oreo cookies). It was this comic series and its spinoff which updated his origin to the modern version, and cemented him as a founding League member.
In the DC Animated Universe, J'onn was an even more important and integral member of the team, as the one who actually formed the stars of the Justice League cartoon series into a single team. Reaching out to each member telepathically, J'onn would prove particularly skilled as the League's Monitor, keeping watch over the planet and all its inhabitants from the Watchtower floating in Earth's orbit. Who needs communicators when you have a telepathic Martian relaying order and information from one team member to another? His origins and powers would be tweaked from the comics version, but for those who grew up on the animated series, the Martian Manhunter is synonymous with the Justice League.
2 His 'Martian' Appearance isn't Actually Martian
So if he has the ability to become any human being or animal he can imagine, but reverts back to his Martian form when fighting crime as himself, then that must be his 'true' form, right? Wrong. As much sense as that would make, the comic writers came up with a more complicated - but more interesting - explanation. When J'onn first appeared in Dr. Erdel's laboratory, he modified his appearance into something of a compromise: he was still wearing traditional Martian clothing, but adjusted his appearance to something more humanoid, based on Dr. Erdel's idea of what a Martian should look like. Thus was born, the bald, green-skinned, broad-chested Martian fans know and love.
But it is not J'onn's true form - a fact that he's been open about in nearly every comic series in which he's appeared. The 'real' J'onn is up for debate, since he has occasionally admitted that even at home on Mars, his birth form was saved only for private (getting another glimpse at how a society would form when each member can look exactly how they want to). But to keep things simple, the birth form of a Green Martian is far more alien, with extended skulls, thinner bodies and limbs, and definitions of beauty less tailored to that of humans. Modern comics starring J'onn have stayed closer to this idea, wisely replacing his bare-chested, high-collared costume to something a bit sleeker.
1 Supergirl's Version is Making Some Serious Changes
As movie fans hoped to one day see a version of Martian Manhunter brought to life using modern special effects and prostethics, ideally in a big screen Justice League, the makers of CBS' Supergirl series were developing their own version in secret. The overall design sticks fairly close to modern styling, but the origin story and alter ego concocted for the TV show kept fans completely in the dark. J'onn's human disguise, Hank Henshaw, threw fans completely off the scent, since the character is already known as Cyborg Superman (a half-human, half-machine copy of the Man of Steel).
That blending of comic book characters may be seen as sacrilege by some, but the core of the character seems more faithful than not. J'onn came about his identity as Hank Henshaw in a similar way: with the real Henshaw being lost on a mission with Supergirl's adoptive father Jeremiah Danvers in tow. J'onn J'onzz was their target, and Jeremiah ensured he wouldn't be captured. It cost him his life, but J'onn emerged in Henshaw's place, hiding in plain sight and working to keep humanity safe from all extraterrestrial threats. The names and details may have changed, but the overall effect is the same: as "the sole survivor of his planet," this Martian Manhunter finds a new name and cause - now to see if Kara gets him in touch with her cousin Superman, or keeps his help all to herself.
We're eager to see what CBS has up their sleeves for this new take on Martian Manhunter, or if Warner Bros.' shared movie universe will find a role for J'onn J'onzz once their stories go cosmic. We hope that this list of essentials has given curious fans enough information to get excited about what may come next (and offered a quick reminder for lapsed Justice League fans). But with promises of a Martian Manhunter series woven through Supergirl, fan hopes have never been higher.

procedure describes how to set up a new, empty hard disk so
that it is ready for an operating system to be installed on
it. This process includes partitioning and formatting and
results in a bootable hard disk. The procedure covers configuring
the hard disk as a single large partition or splitting it
into multiple, smaller partitions. The procedure provides
specific instructions for using the FDISK program and is based
on the Windows 95 OEM SR2 (Windows 95B) FDISK version with
FAT32 support.
Check Version Number: At the DOS prompt, enter the following
command: "ver". The system will respond with the
version of DOS/Windows you have booted. Make sure that this
matches whatever you want to install on the hard disk. For
Windows 95 OEM SR2 the version number will be "4.00.1111".
Plan Partitions: Decide how you want to partition your hard
disk. In particular, for large hard disks under Windows 95
OSR2, decide if you want to set up your hard disk with a single
large FAT32 partition, or several smaller FAT16 partitions.
(You can of course mix these). I provide instructions for
doing either of these, but cannot tell you how to set up your
system. You must decide based on what makes sense for you.
For assistance in making this decision, and more general information
on partitioning, cluster sizes and related issues, refer to
this section. Most people today prefer to set up a new system
using a single FAT32 partition.
Run FDISK.EXE: From the command prompt, enter the command
"fdisk". If you have a disk large enough to warrant
the use of FAT32, you will be asked if you want to enable
"large disk support". Enter "Y" if you
want to enable FAT32, or "N" if you do not want
to enable FAT32. If you do enable this, any partitions over
500 MB that you create will be FAT32. Note that if you do
not enable FAT32, you will not be able to put your entire
hard disk into one partition if it is greater than 2 GB in
you decided to place your entire hard disk into a single partition,
then follow this step:
from the FDISK menu "1. Create DOS partition or Logical
DOS Drive".
"1. Create Primary DOS Partition". FDISK will verify
drive integrity. Then it will ask if you want to use the maximum
available size of the disk for the primary partition and set
it active. Enter "Y". The system will allocate the
whole disk to the partition, and that's that.
Press {Esc} to exit FDISK.
If instead
you want to set up your hard disk with multiple partitions
(or if you don't have Windows 95 OEM SR2), follow this step.
In order to make the process easier to follow, I am going
to use an example below. In the example, a 3100 (binary) MB
hard disk is being partitioned into four partitions of 1000
MB, 800 MB, 700 MB and 600 MB respectively:
Partition Hard Disk (Multiple Partitions): Follow these steps
to set up your hard disk:
from the FDISK menu "1. Create DOS partition or Logical
DOS Drive".
"1. Create Primary DOS Partition". FDISK will verify
drive integrity. Then it will ask if you want to use the maximum
available size of the disk for the primary partition and set
it active. Enter "N". The system will show the size
of the entire disk in MB.
the size of the primary partition. In our example, this would
mean entering "1000". The system will tell you that
it has created the primary partition, and will assign it the
drive letter "C:".
{Esc} to return to the FDISK menu.
"2. Set active partition". Select partition 1. FDISK
will report that it has set partition 1 active.
{Esc} to return to the FDISK menu.
from the FDISK menu "1. Create DOS partition or Logical
DOS Drive".
"2. Create Extended DOS Partition".
When prompted, press {Enter} to select the entire remaining
area of the disk for the extended DOS partition. FDISK will
report that it has created the extended DOS partition.
Press {Esc}. FDISK will automatically prompt you to create
your first logical DOS volume within the extended DOS partition.
the size of the first logical partition (the second partition
overall). In our example you would enter "800".
FDISK will create the partition, label it "D:",
and then say "Logical DOS Drive created, drive letters
changed or added". Don't touch anything, just wait, and
FDISK will prompt you for the next volume.
the previous step for the remaining partitions (in our example
there would be two more partitions to create, the 700 MB and
600 MB ones). When all of the partitions have been created,
FDISK will report "All available space in the Extended
DOS Partition is assigned to logical drives".
{Esc} to exit FDISK.
with the procedure:
Reboot: Reboot the system using either the Reset button or
the "three-fingered salute" ({Ctrl}+{Alt}+{Delete}).
Make sure the floppy disk is in its drive, since you still
need it. Note that you may get "Invalid media type reading
drive C" errors while rebooting. This is normal at this
7) Format Primary Partition: From the "A:" DOS prompt,
issue the following command: "format c:/s". Do not
forget the "/s", as this is what will make your
C: drive bootable. You will get a "scary" warning
message such as "WARNING, ALL DATA ON NON-REMOVABLE DISK
DRIVE C: WILL BE LOST. Proceed with Format (Y/N)?". Since
of course there is no data presently on drive C:, just enter
"Y" and the system will format the hard disk. The
program will show you its progress as it formats and at the
end will prompt you for a volume label. Enter one if you wish.
8 ) Format Additional Partitions (if necessary): If you set
up multiple partitions, format the additional partitions now.
This is done in almost the same way as formatting the primary
DOS partition, except that you leave off the "/s".
So normally you would be entering "format d:", "format
e:" and so on, until all the partitions have been formatted.
The prompts should be the same as in the preceding step.

A man once found a recipe
For how to cook a single pea.
All 'sauté this' and 'char-grill that'
And 'trim the pea of all its fat.
Then leave five hours in marinade
Of saffron-scented lemonade,
And bake it with some donkey's cheese
At quite precisely four degrees'.
The man read all. He scratched his head.
Then simply ate the book instead.

Play Space Design: Thinking Outside the Box
Growing up, we had one playground in the area that all kids flocked to. It was not within walking distance from my house, so when my mom packed us up and hauled us to the Community Center, it was a real treat. I specifically remember a turtle climber looking thing that you could get underneath and» Continue Reading
Why Natural Play Is Important
When I was growing up, I was never indoors. I was the proverbial "Tom Boy." I climbed trees, made mud pies, and played in the yard. But the best part of my childhood was the little patch of woods behind my house. It was about a hundred yards from my back door. On hot summer» Continue Reading

Hmmm, let's see if this thing worked
It is 10:38 am on April 15th. I hope your taxes are done. Ours have been done and spent at least a month ago because of that crazy van fire.
Yay! It worked.

It's been 6 weeks since I broke my toe (or since Jeremy broke my toe, depending on how you see it. LOL) Anyway, on Sunday I wore my nice shoes with the wide inch high heels (only ones I have) and was able to get around all during Sunday School and Morning service. My foot was aching a little afterwards so I put my pink and purple lite-ups on, but I was happy to finally be able to completely dress up for church. I always felt a little funny wearing those flashing lights with my skirt or nice slacks.
He didn't change it. Today is the 14th. After this post, I used my website caretakers login and password and figured out how to change the time. I was right, it was set on the wrong time zone.
My Mom gave us some water to drink on the way home. I still have a few bottles in the van. I had just opened one up to water down Noelle's juice, put the cap on, and just set it on the floor behind my seat before leaving the other day. When I took off to merge into traffic, it fell over. James yelled, "Mom, you just made a waterfall!!"
Yes, the pun was intended. He immediately cracked up which made Jeremy and I realize he knew exactly what he was doing and we couldn't help laughing with him.
My website caretaker better add some categories sometime. AND somehow the date is wrong, so he better fix that too. I just posted this and today is April 13TH.
She writes beautiful poems and paints wonderfully. What a talented young lady! She's only about 10 years old. God has given her something very special.
She's 2 years old today. She had a fun little birthday party at a park and all the kids seemed to love playing there. We got her an Animal Baby magazine (it's made so that it won't tear up with the little ones looking at it.) and the first one came last week. She loved it and my kids all enjoyed looking at it too while we were there. She remembered me this time and let me hold her and gave me hugs and kisses. It was wonderful!
By the way, if you ever want to go through my archives from my previous URL, they are over on the side under OldSite.
Hmmm, I wonder why it came up on April 10 for the date? I'm sure I posted this on the 11th.
My very pregnant sister has her birthday today. If I know her husband and MIL, they will not let it go without doing something. I got her a present, but I can't tell because as you all know, she reads and occasionally posts here. She'll find out what it is in about a week or two. I got it over the internet since we are so far away from anything except Walmart (which is about 30 min. away) out here. We are traveling down there tonight and tomorrow we'll be having her daughter's birthday party. Tabitha will be 2 on Monday. I'll post then also, probably. Until then, Goodbye!
March 28 – My Dad's Birthday
We had arrived down there at 5 am on the morning of the 24th and rested that whole day. My brother, his girlfriend, and her 4 children were there in between moving from one house to another, so it was a houseful. On Saturday the 26th, we drove around on the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at a few places to get out and take pictures and let all 9 children stretch their legs. On Sunday (Easter), we all got dressed up and went to church in the morning. All my girls had pretty hats (or bonnets, in Noelle's case) and James had a new suit with vest and tie. My three older kids really enjoyed the children's program that my parents' church had. It was really cute. All the kids had lines even the little 4 year old boys. My Dad and I went hiking in the afternoon on part of the Appalachan trail. We went up to the top of a ridge and took a nice look around at the mountains and little town. Now to the day of this post… On this particular day, as I said, it was my Dad's birthday. Both of my parents took off work in the afternoon and though we didn't really do much, we did bake a cake and have a little bit of a party. My present to my Dad was coming down and just being there with my kids. The kids enjoyed singing to him and eating the cake. I found out that you can not make instant pudding with soy milk. It just doesn't work. We had ice cream for those who could eat it and sort of a chocolate liquidy pudding tasting stuff for James who is allergic to milk.
April 3
We got back the day before at about 10 pm. It took us quite a while to get home due to a lot of rain, gusting wind, and LOTS of spring break traffic. I can definately tell you one thing… gas prices are NOT keeping people from taking trips. The kids liked Louisville, Kentucky the best out of the whole trip. They saw the giant Louisville Slugger at the baseball bat factory, the cranes that load the barges on the Ohio River, and where they are building a lock and dam. They want to go back and take a tour of the factory and play at a park near the river that they noticed. Noelle got sick with a bad case of bronchitis (it was almost pnuemonia) while we were still down in NC, so Jeremy stayed home with her today so I could go to church.
April 5
Noelle was awake at 4 am today. I found out why this afternoon… she got her first AND second teeth today. They are on top left and bottom right, so if the other two front teeth don't come in soon, she's going to sure look funny for a little while. If you don't remember her age, she is almost 16 months old.
April 6
Yesterday, my 2 and a half year old, AnnaBeth, officially started potty training. No more diapers during the day!! Woohoo! She's doing good. She went through only two pairs of underwear yesterday and she's still in the pair she put on this morning now and it's mid-afternoon. I'm very proud of her.
Ok, I have to admit. I wasn't the one who instigated this. She was. She just decided she wanted to wear panties since she's been going on the potty fairly well this last week and the diaper was getting annoying. Without telling me, she kept going in, pulling down her pants and taking her diaper off, go, wipe, and then coming to find me to put her diaper back on. Now she can go in, pull down her pants and underwear together, go, wipe, and then pulls them back up. I also think trying to get the diaper off sometimes took too long and she wet before she got it off.
Today, April 7
Yay! I'm finally able to post again! I hope you enjoyed my long update. Noelle seems to be getting better from her bronchitis, though I'm not sure whether the fussiness she's been having is from that or from some more teeth. I guess time will tell.
The Walk For Life is coming up for the local Crises Pregnancy Center and I'm in charge of getting my church involved. I also need to get pledges for myself and see if I can recruit some of the wonderful youth I work with. I know some people may fuss when they find out it starts at 10 am on a Saturday when they are used to sleeping in, but I can be quite persuasive with them if I want. If anyone wants to sponser me, just give me an e-mail. It will be on May 14th.
Well, I guess this has been long enough. If I think of anything else, I can post it on another day.
This is julie's web administrator. I'm the guy you can blame for her site's sudden disappearance. I am almost done picking up the pieces. We will be getting her new layout and her old archives back up soon. Watch this space for future progress and if you think I'm taking too long just complain at this email.

I was reading part of Cuddlebug's draft book report, in which he was supposed to list the main characters and write a sentence about each of them:
me: "Cuddlebug, this says, 'Nora is Linda's son'"
(having flashbacks to the days when he and Bearhug used to get "he" and "she" mixed up, wondering if we're somehow having the same issue with "son" and "daughter")
CB: "yeah"
me: "Linda's son?"
CB: "yeah"
me: "Nora's a girl, right? So shouldn't she be a daughter?"
CB: "I don't know how to spell 'daughter'"
LOL, I guess that explains it ;)

Here Be Monsters
Micro Misery, New and Improved!
In the last post I tried to address the giant miasma of misery that has settled over our country, it's politics, and it's government. I suggested that we break up and settle into a bunch of smaller, like-minded countries. Too bad that even if it happened you'd likely still be miserable. After all, our entire economy and way of life fucking depends on it.
American wealth is largely built on our ability to sell each other crap, We give a lot of bullshit lip service to being a Christian nation but in reality we worship the great and petty god Commerce. Shopping centers are our temple and Amazon is our Lourdes. To be American is to Consume and in order to know what to Consume we have Holy Advertisers and Marketers. How many ads do you see/hear in a day? Hundreds, thousands, maybe more. Every company, in fact our entire economy, needs you to buy their products. And guess what? The very best way to accomplish that is to make you feel terrible about yourself. If you don't think you're a miserable piece of shit our whole world tumbles around us like a house of coupons.
You aren't good enough. Your clothes are ugly and outdated. Your hygiene is even worse. Your breath and body stink. If you just had a new Iphone or a BMW you might be worth something, you colossal waste of space. Think about it. Every single god damned day you're bombarded with the same message, both subliminally and explicitly. You suck. You need products to make you less loathsome. If you don't buy something you'll be miserable.
A hundred years or so ago a company couldn't sell any more floor cleaner. In a fit of genius they invented halitosis and sold their floor cleaner as 'mouthwash' to an insecure populace. Today that's known as the Listerine Effect. True Story. Now the whole economy relies on your misery and so it insults you a hundred times an hour. To be happier on a macro level we need to disconnect from each other and stop worshiping government power. On a micro level we need to disconnect from advertisers and stop worshiping Commerce. That's why we need to Saor Alba, Vaya con Dios, & Viva la Revolucion.

The purpose of homework is to reinforce the math and reading skills taught during the school day.
The children will have nightly math homework in the "Little Math Workbook." It is also important for the children to memorize the math facts (1+1=2). The children will be given two study sheets containing the addition facts. It may be helpful to make flash cards for your child.
I also encourage you to read with your child for 15 minutes each night and review the reading Target Vocabulary words in the study copybook.
The children will receive a homework sheet for the months of September through December. After those months the children will copy their homework from the blackboard. The homework assignments are always included in my weekly letter.
Please remember, if your child is absent, it is important that they complete the schoolwork they missed at home.
Homework should not be an unpleasant experience for you or your child. Please contact me if your child is experiencing difficulty completing the assignments.

Surface Spirituality
Contributed by Brian Atwood on Mar 3, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: Help for the hurting heart.
True spirituality is discussed a lot but seldom experienced in today's world. Jesus faced the same problem. So the Lord used parables, stories of familiar things, to point out how unfamiliar people truly were with spirituality.
Here in His famous story of the farmer scattering seed Jesus masterfully describes four different categories of spirituality. Three out of the four types are psuedo-spirituality and only one type is genuine.
Every one of us belongs in one of these four groups.
The first type is SURFACE SPIRITUALITY.
"A farmer went out to plant some seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them." (Matthew 13:3b & 4, NLT)
Later Jesus interpreted this type of hearer for us:
"The seed that fell on the hard path represents those who hear the Good News about the Kingdom and don't understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches the seed away from their hearts. (Matthew 13:19)
There were many people in the huge crowd to which Jesus first spoke these words who no doubt fit in this category.
They came to this spiritual meeting to hear the greatest preacher in the history of the world yet went away unfulfilled because they simply didn't have a deep enough understanding of what Jesus was saying to be truly converted.
Jesus even explained the reason for their difficulty.
"That is why I tell these stories, because people see what I do, but they don't really see. They hear what I say, but they don't really hear, and they don't understand. This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah, which says:
You will hear my words, but you will not understand; you will see what I do, but you will not perceive its meaning. FOR THE HEARTS OF THIS PEOPLE ARE HARDENED and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes - so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them." (Matthew 13:13-15)
"The hearts of these people are hardened", Jesus said, and it has affected their ability to see, hear and understand spiritual truth.
Their understanding is so shallow that even when the seed of the Word of God is placed within their grasp, it cannot take root, remains on the surface and is snatched away by "the evil one".
These are the people with closed minds to the gospel. Minds closed, not because of intellectual inability to understand and believe the gospel, but because of a hardened heart.
There are several reasons why people harden their heart toward the gospel, but one very important reason is often overlooked. Hearts are often hardened because they've been hurt, walked on like the footpath in Christ's parable, and they are trying to protect themselves from any more hurt.
When I was a teenager I was spiritually stirred by the book, "The Cross and the Switchblade" by David Wilkerson. It is the story of Wilkerson's venture into the gang infested streets of inner-city New York.
Recently I re-read some of Wilkerson's old "Teen Challenge" literature. In it he and others who work with him described how so many of the inner-city gang members had tough exteriors but inside their hearts were broken. Their hearts were hardened because their hearts were broken. They felt unloved and their rebel behavior was their attempt to cope.
For instance, here's one dramatic story.
Back in the 1960's, a young man committed a horrible crime in a New York city park. An old man was resting on a park bench reading a paper, and this 16-year-old boy pulled out a huge butcher knife, and stabbed the man about 130 times. When the police finally pulled the boy off the body, he was still stabbing him. As they arrested him they tried to find out why he had done this.
For the longest time the boy wouldn't say a thing. The police finally said to him, "Look, who was this guy?" He said, "I don't know." They asked, "Well, what did he do to you?" "Nothing." "What did he say to you?" "Nothing." They said, "You mean you just went up to a total stranger, who didn't do or say anything to you, and killed him?" "Uh huh." With disbelief they asked, "Why did you do that?"
The boy said, "Do you really want to know? I've got an older brother, and he's really smart, and he's a great athlete, and he's good looking and he's talented and he's everything I'm not. My mother keeps on saying, "Why can't you be famous like your older brother?, and I know there's no way I'll ever be famous by being talented or smart or anything else. I just figured if I couldn't be famous that way, I'll be famous some other way. So I thought of the worst possible thing I could do and I went out and did it. At least my mother will remember me now..."
