Revival: The Revelation of Resurrection!
Twenty-five years ago, my dear friend Joe Hammond wrote the following articles. We only recently rediscovered them. I believe they are still relevant to those seeking revival for themselves, their churches, and communities. -- Doug Reed
Revival. The very mention of the word brings a stirring in the hearts of believers. To some, the stirring is a deep hope for a return to an earlier day of glory. To others, the word brings memories of intense labor and strain to produce a religious experience that, at best, lasted for only a short time and then evaporated into disappointment and disillusion. To nearly all who hear it, the word Revival stirs the question, "How?"
Interestingly enough, the desire to "return to an earlier day of glory" and the question of "how" to initiate revival are both destined to produce frustration and disappointment. There is a strong movement among believers that desires to return to the "glory" of the early church. The reality is that God in His Wisdom did not cause us to live in that time, He brought us forth from His Heart for such a time as this; it is impossible to go back and what's more, He doesn't want us to go back.
If the Lord has no desire for us to rewind time, then surely, He must want us to DO something now! That may seem like the logical approach, but as you may have found by now, our Lord uses His view of logical as the Standard and is not at all impressed with what we may seem to feel is right in our own eyes. The formula for revival has been sought by man for generations. The tower of Babel was just such an attempt -- and so are similar attempts today. They have the same motive, man's not God's, and they provoke the same results, God's intervention to scatter and confuse the corrupted use of the power given to the soul of man.
What then is God's desire? How would He fulfill that desire? So often we have gone to Scripture to locate the "How to" experience and because we have gone with our motives in mind, we come away with a nice, neat, very logical set of procedures and principles that, if applied correctly, we think will produce Revival.
The Lord's Direction
The Book of Acts begins as Luke recalls what he witnessed,
What was the critical ingredient? Was it a series of "steps?" Or, perhaps it was a "purity of heart" brought by sacrifice and self-imposed abstinence. Apparently, it was neither. That which the Lord desires seems to be that He will have the liberty to initiate, to propagate and to consummate that which He has had on His Heart from the foundation of the world. It will be HIS work or it will not BE! The words after and seen and experienced in the above verses speak of a sequence, not a formula. The only thing that the apostles -- and we -- could do was to testify of what He has DONE. For us to think that we could initiate revival is to assume a most arrogant and dangerous stance; it is akin to offering strange fire as did Nadab and Abihu (Numbers 3:4). Surely there must be an example of God's heart for revival in Scripture; in fact, there are many. In the life of Elijah, God has given us a natural type or shadow of just such a spiritual truth and reality.
The Life of Elijah
In the first few words of 1 Kings 17: 1 we learn much about this man, Elijah. He was a Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead. The fact that he was a Tishbite tells us much in that it tells us nothing. No one seems to have heard of a Tishbite prior to that; and, it is not used again in any context other than "Elijah, the Tishbite." He was of a people about whom few knew anything at all; in other words, he was not from the "approved" group, sect, seminary or other identifying feature that causes us to accept or reject a person or their ministry.
The fact that Elijah was of the inhabitants of Gilead also tells us something. Gilead implies "a heap of testimony or witness" (Strong's 1568, 1587). It seems that Elijah was of a group that bore a specific testimony and, as we see in verse one, that testimony was
Elijah's testimony was of a living God, not just of a historical or future Deity. The testimony of his position relative to the Living God is also important: Elijah stood before Him - in His very Presence and yet at the same time before the kings of this earth. Elijah knew that he lived in two places simultaneously! It was from his heavenly dwelling that he brought the testimony of the Living God, not from his own, earthly, perception of how or why God was going to do this or that. He spoke for God from the Presence of God, not from the vanity of his own imaginations concerning God. Elijah simply said what he saw and did what God was doing. Sound familiar? (John 5:19, 20, 24-30) Oh, what a lesson for us in the church today!
Immediately after the declaration of the Lord to Ahab that there would not be dew or rain for these years, speaking of an appointed time of the Lord in which He was going to be quiet except for occasions that He would choose, the word of the Lord comes to Elijah commanding him to go and hide himself by the brook Cherith. His response is refreshing:
A Place of Commitment
Unlike most of us, Elijah asked no questions, nor did he appear to voice any complaints. Instead, he simply obeyed God. Note the attitude of heart that he apparently had in that obedience. The word Cherith implies "a place of covenant or commitment" (Strong's 3747, 3772). In going to Cherith, Elijah must have been aware that he was going to a place where demands would be made upon him to choose, with finality, between his own life and that which the Living God had for him. Scripture records that he dwelt there, that is, he went into what he likely knew would be a difficult, although temporary, situation with an attitude that he was to be there permanently; he was willing to be actively engaged by the now work of God and was not there to be entertained -- he was there to be changed, however long that might take!
Likewise, it is important to note the location of Cherith. The brook Cherith is located before Jordan. Jordan speaks of the place of crossing over into purpose or inheritance. We can be assured that before any of us will pass over into that which the Lord has ordained as His full purpose in our lives, we will spend time with Him at Cherith.
During his time at Cherith, the Lord Himself saw to the sustenance of Elijah. The Lord gave of Himself, the Bread (John 6:35), and shared with him the mysteries of God, the flesh (Hebrews 5:12, 14). But, more than that, the Lord gave Elijah of His own Life as he drank of the brook (John 7:37). Isn't it interesting to note that
Remember we said that Elijah knew that he lived in two places simultaneously? Where did this brook dry up? In the land -- not in the heavenlies. God was finished with the work at Cherith and sent Elijah to a place to refine that which He had done in his life. The natural water had dried up because God had used the Cherith experience to accomplish His purpose and was ready for Elijah to move on with Him. As James has said, Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are ... (James 5:17a); one of those passions is an affinity for the comfortable or familiar. The Lord knows we often will not follow Him unless it is of necessity; He is quite accomplished at creating those necessities. Have you ever had a brook dry up in your life? If you haven't, and choose to follow the Lord, you will! Although the natural water had abated, the heavenly stream continued to flow, and Elijah followed the Lord's direction.
The Church: The Place of Refinement
As before, Elijah's response was immediate: So he arose and went ... There he found the widow gathering sticks. She had her gaze fixed on the earth -- and not on the Lord in the Heavenlies. When Elijah asked her for water and a morsel of bread, she told him what he probably already knew.
It is here that we see the heart of God in sending Elijah to the widow. She is a type of the church that we see so prevalent today: one who has no Husband, one who has a little meal -- a bit of the Word, and a little oil in a cruse -- a measure of the Spirit. Notice this, the Word and the Spirit are not joined together to make Bread; it is only the Bread of Life Himself that can give and sustain Life. Today it is much the same. There are so many who long for the Life of God but are unwilling to do as Elijah directed the woman.
In that Elijah was there at the direction of the Lord and as His representative, his request was not out of his own selfishness to eat before the woman and her son; he was asking her to give of the little that she had first to the Lord and then for herself and her son. As Elijah had displayed obedience to the Lord's direction to him, so he received the same from the woman.
The Lord is Zealous for His Purpose
In the same way, our Lord provides for us in the midst of our poverty of spirit and our lack of belief. Just as the woman acknowledged to Elijah that she knew that his God was alive, so we have done the same thing as we say "How wonderful it would have been to live in the days when ..." Paul spoke of the timing of the eternal purpose that God has purposed in Christ Jesus, when he said,
It is that intent on the heart of God to which we must yield. The Lord has provided for us out of His mercy and loving kindness and kept us from perishing; He has never let His Word nor His Holy Spirit fail, even in the midst of our unbelief (2 Tim. 2:13). Why has He kept us in the midst of what seemed like desperate situations to bring us to a place where it appears the only way things will change is through the dying of all that we hold dear in our lives? Let us look again to the woman and her son.
Whose Attitude: Ours or God's?
There are some in the church whose actions would give credence to the accusation of the woman against the man of God. That which has been brought forth by the church without a Husband has indeed been of her own strength and by her own power; she truly is aware of her sin and knows her need to repent. There are those who have made it their mission to point out that sin and to slay her son(s). Instead, let us look to Elijah's response.
Even in the midst of his own humanity and acknowledging it to God, Elijah prayed for the son to revive and not to die. We have shared the development of the life of Elijah and seen by what Life he lived. It is worth noting that he did not deal with the son on earthly terms; rather he, like our Lord with us, took him UP to where he abode. He took him to a realm that superseded the shortcomings and the imperfections of the son's attempts to be religious and the mother's attempts to foster them. As the Lord called John to come up hither and see what would be after the limitations of the church realm had run their course (Revelation 2, 3, 4), so Elijah portrayed that by type as he took the child to where he abode that he might receive the LIFE of that realm and REVIVE!
Our Purpose Must Be the Lord's
Make no mistake, if our purpose is anything less, we serve our own motives and not those of the Lord. The Lord Jesus Christ LIVES by resurrection Life, not by some counterfeit that has been contrived to imitate it. Those that the Lord will use in this hour to bring His Life to the Church will have the same testimony as Elijah: They will come from out of nowhere; They will have a desperate desire for the Lord; They will stand in His Presence with confidence and genuine assurance; They will be intimately aware of the frailties of their own humanity; They will have the Lord's heart and the Lord's purpose foremost in their minds; They will, above all, come to give LIFE and to see the eternal purpose of God made manifest in this earth!
May the Woman, the Lord's Bride, say of us as the woman said of Elijah:

I have such a fun review to share with you today! Readers.com & Sunglass Warehouse which are sister companies got in touch with me to review their products, I jumped on this opportunity because I had never seen anything so unique in my life.
Readers.com provides great value, an unbeatable selection, and personalized service to make their customers happy. I was asked to try out the makeup readers they have which are magnifying makeup readers that help people with glasses apply makeup.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be for regular glasses wearers to do makeup and not be able to see clearly. These glasses are the solution for that.
First, we have The Carrie Makeup Reader from Readers.com
This pair of glasses allows you swivel the lens when you need to do the other eye, how cool is that! Most of the time when you are doing makeup on one eye it is either completely shut or half shut and you focus on your other eye to help you get through your makeup steps. These glasses allow you to see a magnified version through a glasses lens without it disrupting your makeup. This pair is something I would recommend to people who wear glasses put apply eyeshadow often and love to do their brows!
With Sunglass Warehouse, you can have the best of both worlds. Whether you're looking for a cool pair of polarized lenses for a short motorcycle ride or a pair of mirrored aviators for your weekend at the beach, they've got you covered.
Next, we have three amazing pairs of sunnies from Sunglass Warehouse
I had decided to get
Seneca - top pair shown
Laurel - middle pair shown
Devon - bottom pair shown
When I initially clicked on the Sunglass Warehouse website I was first of all shocked at the amazing and low prices for quality sunnies but I was also very happy to see a lot of the sunglasses had thin sides. I am a chronic headache sufferer and all sunglasses that have thick sides give me an instant headache. I have found that I really just have to stick to aviators now because of it.
Sunglass Warehouse had so many trendy styles to chose from but they also had thin sides which was an A+ for me. I have worn every single pair of these and have not once gotten a headache. They have on-trend styles for affordable prices, you really can't go wrong in my opinion.
Head over to check out everything that
have to offer!

Good morning everyone.I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Valentine's Day, When I got home last night from work my latest order from The Greeting Farm was sitting on my desk and of course one of the newest sets, 'Flutter Heart' was part of it. lol... I just had to take a whole 15 minutes and stamp up this cute little image of a boy and girl together. I think it may be on of my simplest cards that I have ever made and yet I think it is just adorable. It is more of a notecard size than a full card, but I think it is just fun as a little card to slip into a wallet or maybe a lunch bag for school...lol The card it's self measure 2&1/2 by 3 inches.
I was trying out some new stamping ink that AmyR likes to use for sentiments to get very clear stamps out of it. It is called Brillance-Graphite Black and I am sure that all of you have probably used it, but for me it was new and I just love how dark and clean the images and sentiments come out. I then went with some of the embossing powder once again. This time I used Magic Moon from Lindy's stamp gang and I am starting to get the hang of that as well..lol... I know I am not that good at it, but I am determined to practice and get better.
So, in the HEART of today I wanted to share a free hug with you all and wish you a very Happy Day indeed. :O)
I am going to head to bed as my desktop wasn't letting me load my pictures again, so I am on my laptop and hoping that this will be nicer to me. :O)
Have a great day and I will talk at you tomorrow.

Welly Wine Review: Discover RieslingsResident wine expert and Head Sommelier of The Forest Side Hotel, Charles Carron Brown gives us the low down on Rieslings.
So, what's the big deal about Riesling?
Somebody asked me the other day what was my favourite grape variety above all else? I'm not going to lie, I did have to think about it for a second or two and then it suddenly came to me that it was indeed Riesling.
Riesling is one of those grapes that is beyond misunderstood. Known to many as the very sweet wine from Germany with a bad reputation – think labels such as Black Tower and Blue Nun; eventually the German wine makers took this on board and have been making much drier wines ever since that not only taste magnificent but pair beautifully with food, as well as maintaining low alcohol contents, some as low as 9%abv!!!
I love Riesling because of its sheer diversity and flavour profile which changes significantly depending how long you leave it on the vine and indeed what climate it is grown in. It's amazing to think that just a few weeks maturing in the Mosel or Rheingau in Germany can increase sugar levels to the point of turning a crisp dry white wine into one of the world's greatest dessert wines.
I can remember when I really got into Riesling. It was back in my days at The Ritz, London where I was introduced to the merits of this awesome grape and I quickly saw its potential for many different occasions; food pairing, aperitifs and even just enjoying a bottle on a summer's evening.
A lot of the coolest Riesling's I have tasted in recent years however have actually come from the New World; Australia and New Zealand to be exact. Australian Rieslings from the Claire Valley are being made to such a high quality these days by producers such as Jasper Hill and Jim Barry that they are finding their way onto wine lists up and down the UK and guests are slowly starting to realise that it isn't all about the sugar. Many people ask me for your typical New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and the first thing I often ask them in return is if they are willing to try something new and go on an adventure. Sigh – I even had to do this with Wellies & Wine very own Editor Sarah Edwards who was obsessed with the usual – yawn – Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from NZ. If the answer is yes why not, then I pop out a New Zealand Riesling from a winemaker like Felton Road, and the guest is usually startled by the fact that it is possible to drink something other Sauvignon Blanc (not that there is anything wrong with that by the way – each to their own ;-), and have a wine that has this incredible freshness and acidity which can be drunk with pretty much anything you put with it.
At The Forest Side, we have many different Rieslings all over the list, and it will always be my go too for any luncheon in the sunshine or a picnic up in the fells on a sunny day. Why not book our latest lunch offer at just £29.50 per person and I'll introduce you to one of our Rieslings? Below is a selection of some of the best that I have ever tasted over the years:
Trimbach, Clos St Hune, Alsace, France, 2009
Jasper Hill, Georgia's Paddock, Heathcote, Victoria, Australia, 2014
Riesling Kabinett 'Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl' Dönnhoff 2014
Felton Road, Riesling, Dry, Central Otago, New Zealand, 2015
I implore all wine lovers to get your hands on these wines and discover the delights of what Riesling has to offer – I promise you won't be disappointed.

At Bosch, we believe in keeping your personnel and property safe and secure at all times. This is not only a question of installing the proper hardware, but also the assurance that alarms are triggered when needed, and video data is recorded and safely stored. This means you can always review what happened, regardless of time and place. With the IP 2000 family, we offer a cost-effective solution especially designed for small retail businesses and homes.
With the IP 2000 portfolio, Bosch has raised the bar and set new standards in security and data management for small retail businesses, like jewelry stores, bakeries, cooking shops, fashion stores, hardware stores, and homes. The entire Bosch IP 2000 portfolio integrates seamlessly with software and recording solutions from Bosch and other vendors. 3rd party integration, ensured by the ONVIF conformity of all Bosch IP cameras and the Bosch Integration Partner Program (IPP), greatly simplifies the interoperability of video surveillance products. Our IP 2000 family offers models for either more visible or discrete indoor video surveillance. By smartly combining cameras and recording solutions you can tailor and scale your IP video solution to perfectly fit your needs.
The TINYON IP 2000 WI (wireless) and TINYON IP 2000 PIR offer a cost-effective 2-in-1 security solution. They combine a built-in, passive infrared (PIR) sensor and a 720p HD IP video surveillance camera for easy identification of events or intruders, day and night. The PIR sensor enables the detection of any motion within a five meter range. Depending on the light levels, a motion alarm triggers the built-in white light LED, ensuring the highest quality of video images known from Bosch. Besides motion detection, both cameras offer a built-in microphone to trigger sound-based alarms. Together with the built-in loudspeaker, users can establish a remote two-way communication channel to address and verify possible security situations. In areas without evident network cabling the wireless model can be used as a stand-alone solution or added to an existing security installation.
All cameras are equipped with Content Based Imaging Technology (CBIT) ensuring that captured images are tailored to the content of the scene. Depending on movement and varying light intensity, the camera settings are continuously and dynamically adjusted. This ensures perfect exposure of objects of interest while reducing bitrate by up to 50%*. Consequently, your storage costs and network strain are reduced significantly without compromising on video quality.
* intelligent Dynamic Noise Reduction (iDNR)
You can safely store video data in the cloud, on a network video recorder like the DIVAR IP 2000 from Bosch, or on a built-in SD card (depending on the camera model). Any of these methods give easy back-up solutions for safe storage of relevant video data on all models. When required, you can easily access your video data and control your cameras using one of the free viewing clients, like the Bosch Viewing Client (BVC) or the Video Security app.
Limited bandwidth previously made it impossible to stream HD video on mobile devices. Dynamic Transcoding delivers both smooth live video streaming and instant access to HD images when needed, regardless of available bandwidth. This means you can now use your mobile device (together with the free Video Security app) to access camera controls, live video streams and HD images anytime from anywhere. Dynamic Transcoding also allows you to instantly retrieve the correct video data from hours of recorded material. To gain all these benefits, simply expand your systems with either a DIVAR IP 2000, DIVAR IP 3000, or VIDEOJET XTC XF.
For over 125 years, the Bosch name has stood for quality and reliability. The IP 2000 cameras clearly demonstrate the advantages gained from our years of experience in the field of safety and security. These benefits are combined with the latest cutting edge technology used in high security risk projects – advanced features such as Content Based Imaging Technology, a Common Product Platform, Dynamic Transcoding, the latest sensors, and much, much more. To guarantee peace of mind, all IP 2000 cameras come with a full 3-year warranty. Our cameras are designed to precisely suit your safety and security needs. Products that make sense for the life you lead and the work you do – they are literally "Invented for life".

While it's nice that this feature had finally been added, as Candace has so helpfully pointed out, let's just take a moment to consider it was proposed as coming soon two years ago. I posted a request about this almost four years ago.
Maybe coming soon is a subjective term. But he is my continuing issue with this: constant contact markets a communication tool for communication professionals. However, up until the company started rolling out this new feature there was essentially no communication at all about it even though it's pretty basic and had been requested by dozens of not hundreds of users.
Some of us might not still be irritated about this had CC simply given us anything but crickets about this for years.
Hello @LittoralSociety Thanks for the feedback about this as it can help us make changes to our processes in the future. I'm very sorry that you felt like there wasn't enough communication on this feature in the past. Would something like a notification on the post be helpful to you?
How is it 2019 and you still haven't added a search feature?!! We are a Chamber of Commerce who not only runs our own campaigns, but run on average 2 a day for our members, which means nearly 700 campaigns to search through! I can't spend all day looking for an eblast from six months back, but it would be so easy to search it by business name or event name, then copy it , update it and go! What's the hold up Constant Contact??
They added the search option a while ago. If you go to Campaigns, there is a search bar right at the top. Good luck!

When food editor Jonathan Gold of the LA Times sat down this past April to select the paper's first restaurant of the year, he decided to do something bold. He didn't choose an elegant LA bistro where plates are crafted like landscapes, with pools of brightly colored sauces and shrub-like arrangements of carefully manicured microgreens. He didn't choose a hip up-and-coming foodie hotspot – you know, vegan Korean barbecue tapas where all of the food is local, organic, and brought into town on a burro. Instead, Gold chose a burger joint. And not just any burger joint, but a burger joint in the distinctly non-foodie LA location of Watts.
The restaurant the Gold chose is called LocoL, spelled l-o-c-o-l. LocoL* is the brainchild of food truck wunderkind Roy Choi and Michelin-starred chef Daniel Patterson. The restaurant is their David-sized attempt to bring down the Goliath of the fast food industry. With LocoL, Choi and Patterson are bringing a chef's eye and palate to fast food, creating dishes that people want to eat but with healthy, sustainable, ingredients. They believe, as their website says, "…that wholesomeness, deliciousness and affordability don't have to be mutually exclusive concepts in fast food," and "…that fast food restaurants can truly empower the communities they currently underserve."
Last weekend, I visited LocoL Watts as one of five Zoe Fellows from Saint Mark's who had traveled to Los Angeles on a learning expedition. The Zoe Fellows, just to remind you, are five members of Saint Mark's who are participating in a grant project with Princeton Theological Seminary to explore new ways of partnering in ministry with young adults in our community. This trip was an opportunity for us, along with teams from eleven other congregations, to explore the varied ways this kind of ministry can take place. And as a part of our exploration, two of us got to visit LocoL.
The first thing to know about LocoL is that the food is delicious. Our group sat in the LA sunshine sipping lemonade and eating burgers and fries and collard greens that tasted like heaven. As we enjoyed this wonderful, rich, real food, we met with one of the assistant managers, who talked about his life in Watts and why this restaurant is so important in his neighborhood.** He told us of his co-workers, many of whom were out of work before being hired for jobs for which they had little to no experience but who now, after being trained in the kitchen by Roy and Daniel, are cooking incredible food for the people in their own community. Our host also talked about the place of LocoL as a sanctuary in the heart of a neighborhood shaped by violence. There are any number of rival gangs operating within blocks of the restaurant, gangs made up of men and women who have pledged their lives to each other in violent desperation. In these lives, there is room for only one community; there is only the gang, a family forged in the fiercest brutality and bloodshed.
And yet. And yet, within the walls of LocoL, these opposing groups, these enemies, find a place where they can put aside their animosities, literally lay down their weapons, and simply inhabit the same space together. LocoL is a safe haven, a neutral zone, a place where all sides come together and eat. Gang members who would never walk on the same side of the street, let alone be in the same building, can sit together on the back patio under the LA sunshine, drink lemonade, chew on a burger with an artisanal bun and homemade ketchup, and, for just a few moments, forget that they have vowed to forever hate the person chewing on a burger at the opposite table. LocoL is a place all of the gangs see as their own, a place worth coming to, a sanctuary worth protecting.
Now LocoL didn't get to be this way just because of the food – the food is great, but savory, smoky collard greens does not a sanctuary make. No, this place is a safe haven, our host said, because "it provides something that we're not used to having." LocoL is "untouchable" because it offers the men and women of Watts a gift they are not used to getting. Because at LocoL, they are seen as people worthy of good things. At LocoL, they are recognized as those who have been broken and bruised by the society in which they live, that they are people, primarily people of color, who continue to be tragically underserved and underrepresented. Some of them have made bad decisions in response to the need and fear in their lives – who among us has not? – but at LocoL, all are welcomed in as family. LocoL offers the people of Watts something beautiful, something rich and real, made just for them, because they are a people who could really use some mercy in their lives. And so LocoL says to them, here, all of this is for you, so come, take and eat.
LocoL is a restaurant I think Paul would have appreciated. Because Paul too was dealing with rival communities – the Jewish Christians and the Gentile Christians in Rome, who were duking it out over who were the "real" Christians in the hood. How much easier might it have been for Paul if there had been a LocoL in Rome where he could have delivered his message to them in person – sat down over a burger and fries and said to these people, C'mon, guys, do you really think that God has turned his back on these faithful Jews whom he has nurtured and loved and blessed all these years? Not a chance! But does that mean that there is no place for these new Gentiles that have recently moved into our neighborhood? Of course not! There is a place for all of you here. God built this Church for all you. God planned for this, offered up his Son that you might find a place where all are seen and welcomed and fed, where all are family.
And then Paul would have leaned over the half-eaten fries and looked into the eyes of these beautiful, broken people. And here in this place, he would have said, God sees what you need. God sees that what you most need is mercy. God knows that you are disobedient, that you have all been selfish and cruel and judgmental. God sees that you have all made bad decisions in response to need or fear, but my friends, listen, to me – this is good news. It is not the easiest truth to hear, for who among us likes to be reminded of their sin? And yet, in the middle of this seemingly bitter truth lies this delicious morsel of Grace: that this gift of God is irrevocable. God's gift of extraordinary mercy is irrevocable. God's gift of identity, of holy calling that invites us into a better way of being in the world is irrevocable. God's gifts of forgiveness, grace, and love are irrevocable. There is nothing we can do to make God close up shop and move out of town – not then, in first-century Rome, and not now, in twenty-first century America.. The gifts of God are irrevocable.
If in these times we are called to find the courage and the footing to speak out in the name of the one we follow, if we are called to find the heart to reach out in the name of Jesus Christ to those who have been bruised and broken by this society in which we live, if in these times we are called to, in the words of the prophet Isaiah, "maintain justice and do what is right," as I know we are, then we must first see ourselves as recipients of that irrevocable Grace, how sweet the sound. We must see ourselves first as those in need of mercy, as those standing in the need of prayer. We must first "receive thankfully the fruits of his redeeming work," so that we can "follow daily in the blessed steps of [our Savior's] most holy life." If we skip this step and start pointing fingers and casting blame, we risk finding ourselves walking with gangs shaped by pride and self-righteousness. But when we see ourselves as those most in need of God's gift, when we can fall down at the feet of Jesus and ask for mercy, for a few crumbs of Grace, knowing that we are unworthy of it but that we will receive it nonetheless, then there is hope. Then there is hope that we can speak real truth born of real love, then there is hope that we can feed the hungry and comfort the frightened. Then there is hope, and we are in the right place, in the very heart of the place we were always meant to be, and that we will be able to speak a word into the world – a world of love and grace and justice, that will be itself irrevocable. Then we find ourselves deep within the very heart of Christ, where "all races meet, their ancient feuds forgetting, the whole round world complete, from sunrise to its setting." May God be merciful to us and bless us.

**Unfortunately, our host's name is lost to me in the swirl of information deposited in my brain after four more days of such visits. His name I may have forgotten; his story remains.

Headache? I didn't remember I had it..! With such an amazing view who would have it? You have the choice, it is all yours, I stayed there for 20 more minutes just being one with that moment, no worries about anything or anyone just being.
Then the sky turned gray like a storm was coming, the wind was strong and the clouds looked heavy, the sun hid away, the smell of wet soil again stroked my nose, what a tasty smell I don't know about you, but many times when a kid I had to taste it because the smell was so nice and my mouth watered...!!
What window Am I seeing through now?The view changed in just a blink of an eye you could see how fast nature changes without asking me!!! Readjusting and refocusing my mind agreed this was also beautiful closing my eyes again kept enjoying being one with it.
My soul has found a place where to be reborn where to recharge when the battery is almost running out of power… the bench outside in the front yard…!
There is no need to go the Tibet to find peace in your heart is already there where you least expect it, sometimes you spend thousands of dollars looking for a Spiritual Teacher to learn, hoping he or she can give you that awareness that evades you and every time you think is closer… surprise is gone like the movie "gone with the wind" at least it is what it has happened to me in the past.
Now here lying down in this old wooden bench I get to the truth is all about what window am I seeing though.
God Bless you all.

Christmas is a week away. If you're like me that means you've been going full speed for the last week and all the things on your to-do list are starting to pile up as you try to squeeze them into an ever-diminishing amount of time.
In the middle of the holiday hurry, it's easy to forget that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. It's become cliché, but when you combine our Christmas busyness with the secular trappings of the holiday, we really can miss the true meaning of Christmas if we're not careful.
So every year faithful curmudgeons yell at us to "Remember the true meaning of Christmas!" Or, "Don't take Christ out of Christmas!" Or, "Jesus is the reason for the season!"
And that message needs to be heard. It's a good one. At HERITAGE, in our own curmudgeonly stand, we're focusing on justice and righteousness this Christmas—no lightweight fluff here.
But let's not forget how valuable the merry-making and tinsel are, too. Christmas is earth-shattering, life-changing and God-revealing, but Christmas should be merry and bright and fun and silly and relaxed, too. So put Christ first at Christmas—remember the reason for the season—but then banish your inner curmudgeon and don an elfish grin and relax. Rudolph and Frosty and the Grinch deserve your attention, too.
Here are three ways you can do that over the next seven days.
Intentionally slow down. Unplug, disconnect and enjoy Christmas with the people around you. And stop worrying about work or other responsibilities. Here are two things that might help you.
Each morning of the holiday, make a list of things you're going to do that day. AND, make a list of things you aren't going to do that day. Sometimes identifying what you won't do or don't need to do on a given day is just as important as making a list of the things you need to do.
So if you have a big project at work or some things to do around the house that are nagging at you, flip a few days or a week forward in your calendar and schedule those items for another day. Just knowing that you've reserved an appropriate time to get them done can help you stop worrying about them today.
If you're staying home for the holidays, intentionally schedule some activities. Get up and get out. Don't over-schedule yourself, but make plans for a movie or a night out or just to stroll around the outlet shops. Treat yourself and your family to activities that make the holiday season special, and make sure you do more than stare at screens this Christmas.
Finally, cut loose. Have a little fun. Enjoy your family. Enjoy your friends. Laugh with Clark Griswold and cry with George Bailey. Cheer on your football teams. Eat too much. Act like a kid again. Engage these days with wild-eyed wonder. Just celebrate.
After all, there are few things more worthy of your unabashed celebration than Christmas.
There are plenty of things wrong in our world. We have plenty to worry about. But at Christmas we remember that God is with us, that God is in control, that God is love, and that love wins in the end.
At Christmas we celebrate a God who comes to earth to make things right—for us, for our families, and for our world.
Thousands of years ago, a man named Isaiah said this about the coming Messiah.
His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forever more.
Isaiah's hope then is our hope now, and it is the promise of Bethlehem's manger. There's never been a better reason to celebrate.
Merry Christmas.

Hello Artist Gang friends, Fiona here with you today to share a little watercolor scene I have painted.
I love to paint with watercolors, I find it so relaxing. I love the way they mix with each other and I'm not too phased that I can't always control what I want them to do.
In fact, i like that they can be so random .. and do their own thing. It's the surprise that I like. Unlike acrylic paint that I can pretty much make do what ever I have in my head, watercolor is so much more free.
I have used one of Donna's stencils to create a little forest scene. It is called "Lilac Buds" but they also make great little trees.
I hope you enjoy the video and I'll see you all again soon.

I am a self-confessed art-a-holic who lives in South Australia. I have always been an artistic person right from a very young age. I've been blessed my whole life to be surrounded by encouraging and inspiring artistic women including my mum and my grandma who were both amazing oil painters. I attribute my adventurous nature to their continuous encouragement and support.I discovered scrapbooking more than 15 years ago when my children were much smaller but only recently have I returned to developing a more expressive style in my art. I still love my scrapbooking but I really like to stretch my creative rubber band and delve into new artistic territory. My recent passion has been with exploring eco art options and incorporating lots of recycled, re purposed and nature items into my art.

Status: Sipping a diet coke, listening to Jazz music in the background, and watching the snow twirl around in circles outside.
"The weather outside is frightful," to quote a much-loved Christmas song. It reminds me of days gone by, when I lived in Michigan. The winters were dreadful; much snow, blowing, and ccccold temperatures. This is what Colorado is like today.
The mountains are now in my perv u after 3 days of (much needed) snow. I'd like to think it's stopped, but by the looks of it . . . I'm not so sure.
Status: Taking a minute to entertain the idea that the beds needs to be re-made due to a recent bout with the washing machine.
It also reminds me that Christmas is here. It really didn't take much time to get here, as I have felt the year went by quicker than normal. Presents are bought but not wrapped, and the gift cards for the nieces and nephews are signed but not sent. These items will be taken care of within the next week or so. How about you? Shopping done? Presents wrapped? Don't forget your trash man, mailman, and UPS man. They too service us through the year with not much recognition. (note to self — take care of trash man, mailman, and UPS man)
The writing that takes place in my loft today feels good. Much needed time with Shelby is something that can't be put off. She's talking loud and clear, even through all the blowing that's going on outside my window. She's being naughty, but somewhat nice. I'm excited to see where this story leads me (us) as we spend some more time in Vegas, baby.
Status: The click of the dryer signals it's time to re-make the bed.
So I encourage you to stay warm. I'm sure you're on the radar for some of this white, fluffy stuff. It's headin' your way, Mr. Weather Dude says.
As I always say,
Write On!

Miles Today: 22.3
Mile Marker: 1,403.3
I didn't do the miles I should have yesterday, and I needed to make up for it today. However my lazy kicked in and I didn't get started until 8:30. By 11:00 DaVinci and Hop Along had closed the two mile gap between us. I hiked with them a while and discovered they were going into town today from an earlier point. My plan was to camp near town and go in tomorrow to save money, but splitting a room with them would make it feasible to go in tonight. They confirmed that wasn't a problem, and I refocused on adding another two miles to an already long day.
Around 6:00 we caught back up and DaVinci and Hop Along were both aggravated due to a major miscommunication. The owner of the motel said he could pick them up at the earlier road crossing if they called by 5:00. They did call by 5:00, but he said he didn't realize where they wanted to be picked up and wouldn't come get them. Now their choices were to hike another 5.5 miles making for a 25+ mile day for them or try to hitch into town. Hitchhiking is illegal in New York, and apparently they enforce it. Hitchhiking didn't seem to be working, so we started to hike in. Shortly after we were debating quitting, camping, and going in in the morning. We called and moved the reservation to tomorrow. About ten minutes later we all realized we budgeted water to go into town. The next water stop was at the town road crossing 4.5 miles away. We had no choice.
None of us were having a good hike the rest of the way up the mountain, but then a beacon of hope appeared. Vending machines! We had reached the top of the mountain, and it had a parking lot with vending machines. We all downed a drink and had the energy to make it the last 2.2 miles down off the mountain. We literally jogged a half mile of it. We called the motel, asked if we could have the room we canceled, and if they would come pick us up. She (husband and wife own the place) said she would come pick us up. I thanked her and let her know there would be three of us. She said in that case we would have to wait fifteen minutes for her husband to come get us instead. Five minutes later he calls and says there is no way three of us are staying in one room, even if we pay more. I told the guys not to worry, I would find a camp spot and get my own room tomorrow. They headed off, and I tried to figure out where to camp in the middle of civilization. There was no way I was going back up that mountain to get to a back country camping spot. I found myself a nice little spot behind the hill of the closed pool. Hudson River and train adjacent. Nice little piece of real estate.


text: Share this International Enforcement of English Asset Recovery Judgments Cooley Alert April 1, 2015 Cooley discusses the international enforcement of English asset recovery judgments. Civil proceedings brought by the state or a state entity are one mechanism to recover the proceeds of corruption, or to claim compensation for corrupt acts. Typically, substantial corruption cases are international in scope. The proceeds of a corrupt transaction are often laundered through and to countries other than the victim state; assets are typically held by companies and trusts incorporated or managed in offshore or other jurisdictions; and wrongdoers may be located in various countries. The international context means there are a number of countries in which civil claims can be made. It also means that corrupt assets may be located in a number of countries. If so, it is usually inefficient and costly to bring proceedings in each of those jurisdictions. It is often preferable to make a single claim leading to a judgment which can successfully be enforced in each country where assets are located. Read the full article (pdf)

Russia's economic recovery continued in May based on base sector data provided by Rosstat on June 20, which showed stable demand with retail sales growth and strong industry growth on the output side.
However, recent sharp upward revision of industrial production series that surprised analysts was coupled with an unexpected dive in real income in May that caught analysts off guard.
Retail trade expanded by 2.4%, indicating stable consumer demand that remains Russia's principal growth engine. Unemployment also fell to a new post-Soviet record-low of 4.7%.
But that made the stumble of real income, which dropped by 9% month-on-month in May and remained almost flat year-on-year inching up by 0.3%, an unexpected sharp decline from 4.4-5.7% y/y growth rate seen in previous months. Some analysts put the result down to a high base effect and say the fall is temporary.
On the output side, industrial output surged by 3.7% year-on-year, surprising the market that expected 0.8% y/y increase according to a Reuters survey. The sharp increase is due to revision of industrial output data announced by Rosstat this week, under which manufacturing output jumped to 5.6% y/y in May.
The retroactive revision surprised the analysts, who attributed to possible addition of previously classified military and defence manufacturing numbers, and doubted reliability of Rosstat reporting.
Nevertheless, the Ministry of Economic Development already said on June 20 that with the new dataset it could increase the GDP growth estimate for 2017 from 1.5% to 2%, and for the first quarter of 2018 from current 1.3% to 1.5%.
Commenting on May macro date, VTB Capital on June 20 also highlighted "a significant uptick in construction activity in May, which at 5.6% y/y is the highest growth rate in the last five years," but suggested investors wait for next month to see "whether this is the long-awaited improvement in construction activity or simply a one-off."
As for the revised manufacturing data, VTB noted significant changes in 16 (out of 23) industries of manufacturing, with the greatest contribution coming on the back of the more rapid and robust output growth in construction materials, basic metals, metal products, machinery & equipment and transport equipment.

Almond Meringue Cookies + It's Spring! (sort of?)/
Finally, after weeks of the same notification from Alexa, "41 degrees and cloudy with a chance of flurries", today felt like Spring. The last few weeks the days have been so grey it feels like we've been in an endless tug of war with winter. Opening the windows to let in a fresh breeze felt spectacular. Just what I needed to get into gear to finish off my last week of pregnancy on a super positive note.
More so than in previous posts, this year I feel like pressing RESET on everything. No surprise, really. At 38.5 weeks pregnant I am the size of a watermelon and nesting hard. My brain feels like scrambled eggs except when it comes to organizing closets, creating freezer meal plans, and reshuffling the pantry for baby bottle storage. Also, I channeled all of my neuroses and folded every single towel we own into a perfect square. I am told this is entirely normal behavior one week before your entire life changes.
In an effort to curtail irrational terrorizing of every linen closet and resorting of paper towels and pillowcases (for the third time in two weeks), I spent this week letting all my anxious energy out through transforming the apartment for warmer weather.
Over the last few days I arranged fresh flowers and put away everything that reminds me of winter: no more boots and no more puffy marshmallow pregnancy coat! Referencing seasonal posts from years past really helped me figure out what to tackle and stay motivated. In no particular order and with as much energy as my very round self could muster, I attacked each of the below. Hope this burst of warmth is as motivating to you as it was to me. Each post is linked so click away!
- Resuscitated our greenery and planted fresh windowsill herbs.
- Updated pillows and blankets for the warmer weather. No more dark and moody colors or heavy comforters and wool!
- Stocked the fridge and pantry with Spring friendly foods and greens from the market. Goodbye stew, hello fresh vegetables and fruit!
Then, once my home was relatively in order - I baked the best cookies of my entire life. For the record, cookies have never been my forte and they've never been my favorite. I'm mostly a chocolate chip girl and only on very rare occasions (somehow, cookies never satisfy a craving for me the way ice cream or brownies do.) That completely changed when I made these. I've made them twice since Passover (they're gluten/flour/leavening free) and vowed to never let my cookie jar be empty again.
Not too sweet, not too crunchy, not too soft. If I am the Goldilocks of cookies I finally found my perfect fit. Ok, I'm awful at analogies but these are SO good. Please forgive me, and make them this weekend!
Almond Meringue Cookies
- 3 cups almond flour
- 4 egg whites room temperature. reserve one for later in a separate cup.
- 1/3 cup buttermilk or whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- pinch of salt
- rough chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts
- Preheat over to 300F.
- Beat 3 egg whites and the pinch of salt in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. The trick to egg whites is that all of your equipment must be totally dry. Not a single drop of water anywhere! Like the desert but even less. (Thanks, mom for this tip! Only took me 2-3 years to ask why I couldn't manage "stiff peaks".)
- Combine all dry ingredients.
- Gently fold the meringue into dry ingredients.
- Add buttermilk and vanilla.
- Stir to combine into dough. It will be very, very sticky.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling chop up your toppings and remember the egg white you set aside in a separate bowl. I used pecans but honestly any nut or even chocolate chips would work.
- Scoop up slightly smaller than golf ball chunks of dough, roll into a ball.
- Coat cookie dough ball in egg white followed by topping of choice. Flatten into patty... or cookie. Cookies are a type of patty, right? Whoa.
- Place on greased baking sheet or parchment paper.
- Bake cookies for 15- 20 min, until edges are a bit brown. Cool and then eat. Duh!

Muslim men accused of transporting cows for slaughter killed in India
In India, cows are protected by the constitution -- inline with many Indian religions which hold cattle tobe sacred. In some states, it is illegal to kill or eat cows, in others it's allowed, and in others it's carefully regulated.
But in the past two years, over a dozen people have been killed and scores have been injured as mobs attack people, usually Muslims, who are accused of transporting or killing cows.
Murali Krishnan reports from northern India on the country's cow vigilantes.

Business Leaders
Are you a Business Leader? You can make dreams come true for kids in foster care and be a foster friendly business (like you might be with military families).
- Engage your workplace in the movement
- Make your business "foster friendly" (think Military Discounts for Foster Families!)
- Donate to help us reach the unique needs of every child
Over 26,000 teens age out of foster care each year in the United States. These are children who have been removed from their biological families due to abuse or neglect. They have typically been moving from foster family to foster family for a period of years and feel abandoned, unwanted and are left to face the real world without family support. Dream Makers inspires and empowers these teens by giving them an opportunity to dream about their future. These dreams may be an internship that connects them with an opportunity for the future, a practical gift to launch them towards their next step, a gift to learn a new skill, or an experience to gain confidence. In any case, it's their dream, and we want to inspire these kids to dream big! When you become a Dream Maker, you have the opportunity to let one of these teenagers know that someone cares and they are not alone. Your support can give them the confidence they need to change their future. DreamMakersProject.org

"A sweeping saga of passion, excitement, and danger...as a beautiful young woman and a rugged ex-soldier struggle against all odds to carve out an empire—and to forge a magnificent love."
Lettie McBride knows that joining a wagon train heading West is her chance to begin anew, far from the devastating memories of the night that changed her forever. She doesn't believe she can escape the pain of innocence lost, or feel desire for any man…until she meets Luke Fontaine.
Haunted by his own secrets, Luke would never blame Lettie for what happened in the past. One glance at the pretty redhead is enough to fill the handsome, hard-driving pioneer with a savage hunger.
Against relentless snows, murderous desperadoes, and raiding Sioux, Luke and Lettie will face a heartrending choice: abandon a lawless land before it destroys them, or fight for their Wildest Dreams.
An emotional saga from the "QUEEN OF WESTERN HISTORICAL ROMANCE" that will captivate fans of Debra Holland, Jodi Thomas, Diana Palmer, and Linda Lael Miller.
What readers are saying about Wildest Dreams:
"I laughed and cried and mourned the end of this wonderful adventure!"
"This is my idea of what love, marriage and family should be like."
"This book kept me thinking long after I had read the last page."
"I have not read a historical romance in years, and years. But, this one sucked me right in."
"If I were stranded on an island and could only take 5 books with me, this would be one."
What reviewers are saying about Wildest Dreams:
"It's a rip-roaring soap opera that lets the reader follow a couple's life together over the course of 25 years."
"Anyone seeking an emotional, sweeping Western saga need look no further…"
"I was swept away into Luke and Lettie's story and loved every re-reading minute of it, and they and their story has stayed with me again long after I have finished."
"Books like this aren't being published in the romance genre anymore — and it's a damn cryin' shame."
"In my opinion this book was everything a good western romance should be."
What everyone is saying about RT Book Reviews Career Achievement Award–winning and USA Today bestselling Author Rosanne Bittner:
"Power, passion, tragedy, and triumph are Rosanne Bittner's hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears."
"The strong flavor of the Wild West combines with a beautiful love story, creating a true saga of the era."
"Ms. Bittner has a way of bringing the pages and characters to life which pulled me right in from page one and I hated having to put it down for even one second."

The first week and a half of the expedition has taken me out of the San Juan Islands and westward through the Strait of Juan De Fuca. The coast in this section very rocky, with small cliffs lining most of the shore. There are also large sections that have flat stone shelves that stick out from the shore, covering and uncovering with the tides. These areas offer few places to land. Even small surf becomes plunging and dumps you right onto rocks if you get to close to shore.
Because of these features the past several days have been mostly about staying in the boat for long periods, judging where to best catch the current, and making miles while the weather is good. I have spent a good bit of time at least a mile off shore, sometimes more, but it has paid off with great boosts to my paddling speed. It has been well-worth the 4 or 4:30am wake-ups several days in a row in order to take advantage of the ebbing tidal current.
Watching the sunrise bright red between the clouds and the horizon has been beautiful each morning. It is a rare thing to be the only boat out on the water, quietly slipping past the coast as the world wakes up. I have also seen a lot of wildlife: countless seals, bald eagles each day, a large variety of ducks, and even some river otters. After one lunch break, a small seal followed me for almost a mile. It kept surfacing right behind my stern, made a sneezing-like sound, and then would dive with a loud splash. If I turned around to look, it would keep it's head above water and lock eyes with me for several seconds, then dive and splash. Was it wanting to play? Fend me off? I'm not sure. It did seem small, though, maybe one of last summer's pups.
Mostly the days have been grey with occassional rain, but always beautiful layers of mist in the lush green hills along the shore. On one of these grey days I paddled out through the break at Jordan River at first light and caught the ebb current headed northwest again. As I rounded Sombrio Point, I felt ocean swell for the first time on this trip. I had been encountering some longer period waves since coming around the corner at Victoria, but those were most likely wakes from the giant container ships cruising in the Strait of Juan De Fuca. This was different. I looked up from the chart and noticed the entire horizon bending upward, then gently dropping as I was lifted up on the crest of that wave. It was unmistakably the ocean, so different than the smaller wind waves I had encountered up until that point.
I was smiling from this change of environment when I heard deep barking noise coming from the point. I was too far off the point to see them, but the sounds of sea lions were clear through the mist. As I bobbed gently up and down on the swell I stopped to listen to their calls, and looked out at the grey meeting grey meeting more grey layers of the horizon ahead of me. It was as if the open coast was saying, "you are almost there... more of these things are in store for you."
Two days later I landed on a beach just north of Carmanah Point, which is the place where the charts switch from marking the big water off the coast as "Strait of Juan De Fuca," to "Pacific Ocean". It is also more of a wilderness than the earlier sections, with no roads coming anywhere near the shore for a stretch of about 40 miles. It was certainly feeling more wild than before: as I scouted the beach for a campsite I saw both wolf and bobcat tracks in the sand. I had not seen anyone else in a few days, just the wide horizon of the Pacific.
Correction: They were actually Cougar tracks. Too big for Bobcat, and none on Vancouver Island. Thanks to JF and others for the help!
There was also another tell-tale sign of having reached the ocean: big swell breaking on the beach as I got packed and on the water early the next morning. It turns out too big to leave. I spent an hour and a half getting tossed backwards by the breakers. After the fourth or fifth time getting surfed all the way back to the beach on an unexpectedly large set, I decided the ocean was trying to tell me something and I would be wise to listen. After setting up camp again, I climbed up onto a high rock outcrop and could finally see what was happening: huge closeout sets running the entire length of the beach were coming in every minute or so. They would rise up ten feet tall, curl over, and crash down with a booming noise that echoed around the small bay. These waves had been obscured when I was at my lower vantage point launching, but from up high it was so clear that my attempt had been in vain. I spent the next two days watching the surf and waiting for a chance to get back on the water.
On the third morning I was able to break out! Now I am in Bamfield, having made it 144 nautical miles so far (about one fifth of the total). It is exciting to plan the next few days of paddling. I could see the big mountains up ahead as I rounded Cape Beale today. I'm excited to see what is in store for me further up the coast.

Epicurus (341-270 BCE)
"Pleasure is our first and kindred good. It is the starting-point of every choice and of every aversion, and to it we come back, inasmuch as we make feeling the rule by which to judge of every good thing" –Epicurus
- Very important to science
- Atomism
- Founder of Epicurean philosophical movement
- Founded the Garden, a place of philosophical contentment
- No family, no children
- Died of kidney stones and dysentery, in terrible pain, but still embraced his value system:
- In his last letter, he wrote, "I have written this letter to you on a happy day to me, which is also the last day of my life. For I have been attacked by a painful inability to urinate, and also dysentery, so violent that nothing can be added to the violence of my sufferings. But the cheerfulness of my mind, which comes from the recollection of all my philosophical contemplation, counterbalances all these afflictions. And I beg you to take care of the children of Metrodorus, in a manner worthy of the devotion shown by the young man to me, and to philosophy."
Imagine if you will a lush garden full of fresh fruits and vegetables. Robed figures pass to and fro along the paths, stopping now and then to engage one another in pleasant conversation on science, philosophy, and art. In one corner a minstrel plays harmonious chords on his lyre. In another there is a discussion on freewill: the teacher explains that there is no reason to fear the gods and that human beings have complete freedom to choose their own path in life and to obtain happiness in the here and now. A cool wind blows as one breathes in the Mediterranean ocean-air amidst the beauty of Nature and the fellowship of friends and family. If you have imagined all of this, you have imagined Epicurus's "Pleasure Garden," a place where he and his students would congregate in the pursuit of achieving the most pleasant life possible in this world. 1
Hedonism (life = pleasure)
- He wrote " As soon as each animal is born, it seeks pleasure and rejoices in it as the hghtest good, and rejects pain as the greatest bad thing,, driving it away from itself as effectively as it can; and it does this while it is still not corrupted, while the judgement of nature herself is unperverted and sound. Therefore, he says that there is no need of reason or debate about why pleasure is to be purseued and pain to be avoided. He thinks that these things are perceived, as we perceive that fire is hot, that snow is white, that honey is sweet. None of these things requires confirmation by sophisticated argumentation; it is enough just to have them pointed out. "
- Ataraxia: Freedom from fear
- Aponia: Absence of pain
Happiness = Starting point of all decisions
Life Should Be Measured in Consequentialist Terms
- Happiness = good
- Unhappiness = bad
Four Types of Pleasure
- Physical – pleasure from the five senses
- Kinetic – pleasure from action
- Mental – pleasure not from the senses
- Castametic – pleasure from the state of being
- Of these, castametic and mental are the most important. The state of ataraxia can be achieved through philosophical contemplation rather than through pursuit of crass physical pleasures.
- Based on this conception of happiness, it is the philosopher who is the happiest of all people, for he chooses the stable pleasures of knowledge over the temporary and volatile pleasures of the body.
Four Recommendations for Good Life
- Avoid work
- Avoid (institutional) education
- Live a simple life
- Cultivate friendships
Categories of Desire
- Natural desire: The things that without we would die
- Unnatural desire: Those things we can do without
Hedonism Does Not Mean Just Physical Pleasure, but a Content Life
"When we say, then, that pleasure is the end and the aim, we do not mean the pleasures of the prodigal or the pleasures of sensuality, as we are understood to do through ignorance, prejudice, or willful misrepresentation. By pleasure we mean the absence of pain in the body and trouble in the soul. It is not an unbroken succession of drinking bouts and of revelry, not sexual lust, not the enjoyment of fish and other delicacies of a luxurious table, that produces a pleasant life. It is rather sober reasoning, searching out the grounds of choice and avoidance, and banishing those beliefs that lead to the tumult of the soul."
Fear of Gods = Bad
Gods exist, but
- they don't care about us
- no punishment
- no afterlife
Fear of Death = Bad
- People fear death, because it may be painful, lead to an unpleasant after life, or mean not achieving one's goals.
- But as long as you're alive, you are not dead. It is irrational to fear that which is absent.
- Life = ultimate project–no reason to fear it being incomplete.
- There is no after life. (Epicurus was a materialist).
- From this doctrine arose the Epicurean epitaph: Non fui, fui, non sum, non curo (I was not; I was; I am not; I do not care)
Epicurean Paradox
- God = omnipotent
- God = good
- Yet evil exists
- This denies the existence of a caring God
- The "Epicurean paradox" is a version of the problem of evil. It is a trilemma argument (God is omnipotent, God is good, but Evil exists); or more commonly seen as this quote: "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
- One of the first/ one of the most important humanists

Jupiter Energy Mudra with powerful detox breath to stimulate the pituitary gland and see the unseen
(2) Meditation to Strengthen the Inner Voice
MANTRA: Wha - Ho Guru with 10-segmented breath technique and chanting
Pancakes made with celery may sound a little strange, but wait until you taste them! They will purify your blood and strengthen your central nervous system.
1/2 tsp. Caraway Seeds
1/2 tsp. Oregano Seeds
1/2 tsp. Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
1/2 tsp. Celery Seeds
1 cup Finely Chopped Celery
1 cup Garbanzo Flour
1 tsp. Salt
Ghee or Oil (not olive oil)
Mix ingredients in a bowl, adding water to form a smooth pancake batter. Fry in ghee or oil just like you would a pancake! Serve with yogurt or sour cream.
Makes 8-10 pancakes.
Charanpal's Notes: As long as you get the right consistency with the batter, there's really nothing you can do wrong with these pancakes. Be careful not to put the pan on too high of heat (your oil will start smoking). I am in love with this savory pancake dish. I also add one tablespoon of fresh chopped ginger to my batter. Garbanzo flour might be hard to find out there for some of you. I've never made these with anything other than garbanzo, but I bet any gluten-free substitute would be good. I personally do not use sour cream topping, but I do enjoy these with cashew-yogurt, or cottage cheese and sauerkraut topping!! In addition, you can chop up an apple, shred some carrots, garnish with soaked almonds... the possibilities are endless!
