"Truth for Truckers" *June 1, 2014* Psalm 1 "Testimony from Training"
Today this Psalm became especially meaningful as we sit here in Jacksonville, FL waiting for another load of freight during the last few days of my training period with Covenant Transport. During my early morning walk at another stop in Jacksonville where we spent the night I noticed a license plate on the front of a Peterbilt tractor that simply said JESUS! It was a blessing indeed in the midst of all this chaos and turmoil that I have been experiencing in an attempt to become an OTR driver for Covenant Transport.
Psalm 1 with its emphasis on God's blessing to those who take a stand and stay devoted to Him and His Word is more relevant to me now than ever, for if I continue to stick to my guns as it were concerning all types of moral and ethical issues found in this culture of truck driving, I'm sure the LORD will bless me for obedience to His commands. I am praying for Eugene Lake, my new and fourth trainer in only 17 days, that he will fully understand the Word of God concerning being a born-again Christian. Also I am asking the LORD to get me to my truck without going on the bus as I have brought my computer with me and extra luggage. In addition, I need my medicine to be renewed in about 10 days and will have to return home to get it, so I'm asking the LORD for His working there.
'Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and in His Law doth he meditate day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, its leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous, for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.'
These are the principles, the truths that must regulate every obedient child of God, and here in this business the tests are manifold and increasingly intense because of the temptations to cheat on the logbook, the various vices that are abundant to truckers in the truck-stops i.e. prostitutes, drugs and gambling, and also the corruption and filth that is on the CB radio if you use it as you must in certain city and stop situations.
Nevertheless, the LORD is able to deliver and keep my feet from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His glory, of that I am sure. However, in Romans 13:14 we are told to 'make no provision for the flesh' but instead 'put on the Lord Jesus Christ' which in this case I must exercise discernment and determine if this job/lifestyle is really for someone who wants to live for and serve the LORD!
Already today I have been tempted to agree with some statements and practices that I know full well are sinful if I partake or agree to these suggestions that 'all' truckers are expected to indulge in, especially in the sexual arena, and it seems that therein lies the great difficulty in separating from all this garbage. But, when I am alone and have the rule over where I spend my time and what I do when not 'under a load' things will be a lot different. For, the LORD says: 'There is no temptation taken you but such as is common to man, but God is faithful in that He will not suffer you to be tempted above that which ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.'
(I Corinthians 10:13) So, with this promise I will drive on!

text: This is unique because the Chicks really based their initial sound on the banjo and you rarely find one autographed. I've traded it with a gentleman who's going to change out the head and put it on a playable banjo! I can't wait to see what he comes up with and we have a surprise piece coming by the Dixie Chicks ourselves!

Omarion feat. Lil Wayne - Comfort
A new single has emerged from former TUG act Omarion who is now signed to Timbaland's record label. I've never been a fan of Omarion; dont have any albums, just a couple of songs - but that said I really like this song. Comfort which is produced by Timbaland is rumoured to be the first single off of his upcoming third album. I really like the beat, its nothing major by Timbalands standards but nice all the same. And Lil Wayne succeeds in ruining yet another song - I seriously fail to see the 'talent' in this guy - but whatever sells.

October 29, New York, NY (Washington Bangla Radio): A new policy paper on educational achievement and earning power of Asian Americans challenges the model minority stereotype of Asian Americans as universally high achievers. The policy brief, released by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) and written by Alejandro Covarrubias and Daniel Liou, highlights new statistics from Covarrubias and Liou's in-depth study "Asian American Education and Income Attainment in the Era of Post-Racial America," released by Teachers College at Columbia University.
"We find that race continues to leave a detrimental impression on the earning power of Asian Americans despite their high educational outcomes as an aggregated group," write Covarrubias and Liou.
"Research on Asian American educational and income outcomes is often presented in the same breath as Whites, in contrast to that of Blacks and Latinos, which encourages the model minority myth to spread," said Khin Mai Aung, Director of the Educational Equity Program at AALDEF. "This new policy paper, which dissects intersections of race with class, gender, and immigration status, indicates that Asian American students face the same obstacles to achievement and earning power felt by other groups."
The policy brief indicates that gender differences between Asian American men and women regarding earning power are even greater than compared to their White counterparts. Asian American men have significantly higher income outcomes than their female counterparts across almost all achievement categories (except for baccalaureate degrees), and Asian American men also have more professional/masters degrees (18.5% for men compared to 14.7% for women) and doctorate degrees (5.2% for men and 2.1% for women) than Asian American women across the board.
Class likewise continues to play a significant role in determining educational achievement and earning power. 96% of Asian Americans with a family income of $100,000 to $149,999 graduate from high school, compared to only 81% of those with a family income of $49,999 or below. At the collegiate level, 37% of Asian Americans with a family income of $100,000 to $149,999 attain a bachelor's degree, compared to only 24.5% of those with a family income of $49,999 or below.
"The stellar academic attainment of a limited group of predominantly middle-class Asian American students should not dictate the policies and needs for the overall community," said Aung. "We are hopeful that this data will encourage policies that seek equal opportunity for all Asian Americans."

Vietnam's spiritual possession ritual, Hau Dong, gets resurrected
May 28, 2017 21:09 IST
about the video
Previously frowned on by the ruling Communist Party, the ancient ritual of Hau Dong is enjoying a revival in Vietnam. Spirit mediums dance to loud folk music while appearing to transform themselves into different characters. They display changing personalities as if spirits have entered their bodies. Hau Dong dates back to the 16th century and its status was reaffirmed in 2016 when it gained recognition by UNESCO.
