Topic: THEY SAW EXACTLY AS GOD TOLD THEM
Text: Numbers 13:21 – 25 Memory verse: Numbers 13 verse 23
When the Almighty God says something, there is no reason to doubt Him. When Jesus spoke to His disciples about heaven during His earthly ministry, some may have doubted as some still doubt the reality of heaven and hell but when He took John the beloved and showed him what he recorded in the book Revelation, the doubts disappeared. God gave the approval to spy out the Promised Land as we read yesterday so that all their doubts about what He told them will end.
The Twelve Spies went quite through the land, from Zin in the south, to Rehob, near Hamath, in the north (Numbers 13:21) and saw the land as God described it. Probably they did not go altogether as a body because it would have created suspicion and they would have been in more danger and taken up if the Canaanites knew how near the Israelites were to them; but they may have divided themselves into several companies, and so passed unsuspected, as way-faring men. That would have been the wisdom the spies applied.
They took particular notice of Hebron (Numbers 13:22) probably because there, was the field of Machpelah, where the patriarchs were buried (Genesis 23:2) whose dead bodies did, as it were, keep possession of that land for their posterity. They saw the sons of Anak there; where they should have received the greatest encouragements but there they met with the greatest discouragements just because of giants (Anak).
Satan has ways of discouraging us. Where God has kept blessings for us, he will go and plant what will discourage us. That these men saw the Promised Land as God told them through Moses should have encouraged them. Many of us are easily discouraged by what we see or hear despite all the promises of God for us in the bible. Many of us have enjoyed the goodness and mercies of God severally but it have not changed our mentality about God's grace, providence and protective arm. Having enjoyed the mercies of God, we shouldn't be downcast when sickness, trials, temptations and problems of life comes our way.
Food for Thought: God is ever faithful to His word. He doesn't change. Therefore do not have any reason to doubt.
Prayer: Almighty God, grant me the eyes of faith to see things the way you see them in Jesus name. Amen.

Since its inception, the Hilliard Youth and Family Commission (HYFC) has had little funding and even less public recognition.
Since its inception, the Hilliard Youth and Family Commission (HYFC) has had little funding and even less public recognition.
That could all change if city council decides to reactivate the group as a city commission in 2009.
Officially formed by city council in 2001, the Youth and Family Commission technically ceased to exist as a city commission on Dec. 31, 2007.
Current Council President Brett Sciotto, who authored the legislation creating the HYFC, said the group's original goals were simple.
"At the time, we envisioned an organization that would work in the community to build what we referred to affectionately as assets," Sciotto said. "They essentially would build values and skill sets and different kinds of knowledge into the community for the purpose of building better children, to make sure they have the right kind of environment as they grow up and to make sure Hilliard is a community that is family-friendly."
Sciotto, said his original legislation creating the HYFC included a sunset clause that would prevent council-created committees from existing in perpetuity.
While the HYFC has officially expired as an active city committee, the commission has been kept alive by the Hilliard Family YMCA.
The group is yet to earn non-profit status but has survived with minimal outside financial support.
"We did fund some of these operations early on but it has been a while since the city has put any money toward this," Sciotto said.
Today the HYFC has developed a strategic plan and prepared an operating budget, which it presented to members of City Council's Recreation and Community Involvement Committee.
HYFC board member Jill Smock said her group has emphasized involving youth in the community to help them become better citizens.
"We have a youth council that has representatives of all the schools from the sixth- through the 12th-grades," she said. "They have been probably one of the most active pieces of the commission. In the beginning it was really an adult-driven commission."
Smock said the HYFC's major projects have been the "Parents Who Host Lose the Most" campaign against hosting teen alcohol parties during special events such as high school graduation, and the HYFC's participation in National Family Week activities in September which promotes families eating dinner together to improve communication among family members.
"We've looked for little grants here and there but basically, we're about at the end," Smock said.
Smock said the HYFC has about $2,000 but estimates an additional $16,000 would be needed to fund proposed programming for 2009.
"This was our child way back when and we kind of spun them into the world and they need some support again," Sciotto said. "I really think that this is probably the right move for city council to consider in January, an ordinance that reinvigorates them as a commission of the city and then consider their strategic plan and budget for some level of funding out of council's community programs budget. That allows them to take the next step with their programs."
Council vice president William Uttley agreed. "At first blush, this is the type of program that I envision our community projects going for," Uttley said. "There are a lot of benefits to our community in general. I fully support considering this."
"They've done a lot of good things and I don't think they have gotten the backing they deserve," Sciotto said.

On the British BBC, shadow Treasury minister Cathy Jamieson said:
"These figures show the full scale of David Cameron's cost of living crisis.......Working people are not only worse off under the Tories, we're also doing much worse than almost all other EU countries."
In the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, one of their financial columnists Harry Geels writes about the ongoing "impoverishment" of Holland, which according to Geels actually started in the 1990s and was partially caused by accepting too low of an exchange rate for the Dutch guilder, when it joined the new Euro in 2000 (to understand the background of this too low exchange rate, Dutch readers can read his report "De Wisselverlieszaak" (or "The Case of the Exchange rate Loss".)
As so often is the case, economics influences politics, and Oxford University economics professor Simon Wren Lewis, describes the similarities in political trends in both countries,
where support for the far right is increasing, even though the far right has not had a meaningful influence in those countries for a long time. According to a recent Dutch poll, the PVV (i.e. the Freedom party) with its leader Geert Wilders would double its seats from 15 to 29 in the 150 seat parliament, and replace the governing VVD (i.e. the right of center Liberal Party) as the largest party. The Liberals of Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte would lose 21 seats reducing their current 42 to 21 seats.
In the UK, the UK Independence party (i.e. UKIP) has emerged in the meanwhile as a viable right-wing threat to the governing Conservative Party of prime minister David Cameron. Wren Lewis describes why the support for the right wing is growing in those two countries - and not for example in France -:
"In both the UK and the Netherlands we have recession and fiscal austerity, where the recession has been associated with marked falls in real wages as well as increases in unemployment. In both cases I would argue that there has been no effective opposition to fiscal austerity from the political centre, which helps encourage support for the political extremes."
And he ends up by blaming the "stupidity of the pro-cyclical fiscal policy' (i.e.austerity measures during a recession) for those economic problems, a policy which is supported by most of the European political establishment and the current governments in the Netherlands and the UK. But this same policy is opposed by an interesting mix of the majority of economists questioned and the upcoming extreme parties on the right (and on the left.)
Although I agree with Wren Lewis that the current fiscal policies seem not to be working (for example, the situation in Greece, Portugal and Spain doesn't seem tenable much longer for the local population,) I'm not sure whether I agree with his analysis that the right-wing will increase its power in the Netherlands. Clearly, the Dutch electorate is not happy with the economic situation, but over the last 10 years they have shown a volatility in the polls, which doesn't always translate into actual votes for the extreme parties. Secondly, if what Wren Lewis claims is true for the Netherlands, then the far right should be much stronger in coutries with bigger economic problems and higher unemployment levels, such as Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy etc. Whether UKIP can really become a major party in the U.K. also remains to be seen, considering the challenges of the British plurality voting system. Also, one can wonder how far right this party is: they're basically occupying the Conservatives' territory. I think it's too early to believe that the tale of two countries, in the Netherlands and the UK, is accurate and indicative of a wider European trend, but clearly the clock is ticking for the economic policy makers.

However during his time in the NBA, Robinson was always questioned. Did he have too many outside interests? Did he actually love the video game? Could he carry a group to a title? Was he soft?
Joe: Should I continue to play and wilt away as a shell of my former self while destroying whatever team wanted to pay me? Shoot my biggest rival in the kneecaps in retaliation? Or stroll away and count my countless dollars and countless tattoos? Ok. Perhaps I had one less option than Leon Hall Jersey does.
First we'll start with the Denver Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets got 2 good gamers in the offer but they're sending mixed messages. Last season Marcus Camby had the best season of his 12 year profession but the Denver Nuggets chose to send him off to the L.a Clippers for practically absolutely nothing. At the time it seemed the only need to make the trade was to discard Marcus Camby's agreement.
Carlos Boozer, for example, might have computed that there will be more alternatives a season from now and he's probably right. Earlier proclaiming that he would pull out of the last year of a deal paying him over $12 million, Boozer will remain in Utah for another season.
Sports wristbands are necessary for both sports. Due to the fact that gamers in these sports who are tailored with as such will have a more courageous aura on them, it's fascinating. Personalized wristbands with your sport group's logo design on them are an excellent device. They will avoid sweat, to enhance your efficiency on the online game. These days, team logo design can be embroidered onto the sports wristbands. Embroidered wristbands can be cleaned and re-used as sometimes as you want, because the embroidery will not fade. Some moms and dads and clubs also sell these custom-made wristbands at halftime or prior to/ after the game to raise funds. In any case, these sports wristbands are great for creating school pride.

Cambodia's Preach Khan Reach (PKR) FC marked their entry into the M-League with a sluggish 2-1 victory over Penang in Saturday's FA Cup first round match.
Prior to the team's arrival in Kuala Lumpur two days ago, the players did not train as they were more interested in partying following their 2-1 victory over NagaCorp FC to retain their Hun Sen Cup on Feb 12.
Coach Sam Vandeth said his players partied continuously before boarding the flight to Kuala Lumpur.
"My players did not give their best today (Saturday) as they were tired. We partied a lot after our success in the Hun Sen Cup," Vandeth said at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Saturday.
"We are, however, happy to make a winning start in the FA Cup. Malaysian football is on the rise and we are honoured to be playing in this tournament.
"My team only had two days of practice before this match. We will be better prepared for the second round."
After making several schoolboy errors inside Penang's penalty box, PKR finally took the lead in the 28th minute through Phanny Ratha before Prak Mony Udom added their second by latching onto a through pass before flicking the ball over goalkeeper Shukor Abd Malek in the 86th minute.
Penang captain Hasmawi Hassan scored a consolation goal two minutes before time.
PKR will face KL SPA FC in the two-leg second round tie on March 2 and 10, while Penang make their debut in the FAM League on March 4.
FA Cup results: Sime Darby 2 Sabah 0, Felda Utd 0 Pahang 1.

So, I am biased. Sue me.
The Uncommon Reader is the perfect novella. Alan Bennett (beloved author of the most perfect and revered History Boys) asks an uncommon question: what if the Queen of England started reading? How would it impact her? And on a different scale, how would it impact her nation?
The emphasis is both psychological and cause-consequence. As is usual with Mr. Bennett (ha ha), the narrator's voice is often the funniest. Observation and a hint of Irony are wittingly used to further the story. One cannot help but laugh when one is reading dialogues such as these:
'I'm just kicking the tires on this one, ma'am, but it would help if we were able to put out a press release saying that, apart from English literature, Your Majesty was also reading ethnic classics.'
'Which ethnic classics did you have in mind, Sir Kevin? The Kama Sutra?'
Sir Kevin sighed.
Albeit a short read, The Uncommon Reader is an uproarious tongue-in-cheek jab at monarchy, the English and non-readers. I recommend it to all but mostly to those who appreciate a good joke.
'Oh, Norman,' said the Queen, 'the prime minister doesn't seem to have read Hardy. Perhaps you should find him one of our old paperbacks on his way out.'

I posted recently about designating Mondays as a snippet day, then preceded to read two books that presented no snippets, a very rare thing, though they were interesting period pieces. (Well...it's not Monday, I know, but I am snippet-ing none the less. I think I am too loose for designated days.) Zorba, however was full of snippet-able lines. Here are two.
I think this snippet captures the essence of the 'Boss' character very well:
The stars were traveling round, the hours were passing—and, when I arose, I had, without knowing how, engraved on my mind the double task I had to accomplish on this shore: Escape from Buddha, rid myself by words of all my metaphysical cares and free my mind from vain anxiety; Make direct and firm contact with men (humankind), starting from this very moment. I said to myself, "Perhaps it is not too late."
Earthy as Divine:
The imperishable force which transforms matter into spirit is divine. Each man has within him an element of the divine whirlwind and that is how he can convert bread, water and meat into thought and action. Zorba was right: 'Tell me what you do with what you eat and I will tell you who you are!"
I am off to the Chiropractor today to work on hips that have gone astray, which are giving me a pain in the neck, literally.
Happy Tuesday to you all.
