When you think of backyard ponds, there are various options you can explore to get the perfect water feature that will not just add life to your backyard, but also turn into a greener more natural refuge. Let us explore here a very simple way of making a reservoir that will definitely not cost you an arm and half. Rest assured, you can also involve your kids and make them part of this restoration routine for them to love the backyard addition even more. Adroitness should be instilled at a tender age and should begin right from the home!
Things you'll need:
- A big old tire
- Rocks of various sizes
- Shovel
- Jigsaw
- Tarpaulin or thick plastic sheet
- Gravel and buckets of sand
- Start off with marking the radius of your tire onto the ground. Then dig the sand off within the radius with a shovel to fit in the tire.
- Now cut the upper part of the tire and wrap the plastic sheet around it. Make sure the plastic sheet is super intact from top, down, right and left, around the tire and does not leave any unopened spaces.
- Now using the shovel, put the sand around the tire to fix it inside the ground. This should then appear to be a low-rise dome with a wide opening (that of the tire).
- Once you've fixed the tire with sand around it, the task comes down to fixing the sand. This is where the gravel will come in handy. Put the gravel on the sand around the tire and using a shovel apply pressure downward so the gravel clings to the sand. Make sure not to leave any part of the sand uncovered.
- You're almost done! Now you just have to place rocks of various sizes around the graveled-sand to taper off the edges and make it appear like a rockery landscape.
- As a last step, add greens around. Maneuver the soil for some grass to grow in your backyard and specifically plant some shrubs and flowers around the pond you just created to add in color.
- Once done, add water to it through a pipe and faucet.
- Add accessories around the pond, like a lamp or stone statues, to make it look prettier. You can also put fish in it which can be your children's best friends for the summer.
- Maintenance is the key. Learn how to change the water often. The smaller the pond, the trickier the ritual gets.

For advisors and broker-dealers, one certainty remains constant from year to year: the challenge of keeping pace with a growing compliance checklist. While the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule will continue to consume advisors' time in the New Year despite the recent 18-month delay of the rule's enforcement provisions, other high-priority items for advisors — and regulators — will be ensuring proper cybersecurity controls are in place, lassoing in troubled brokers, adjusting to an updated exam program and dealing with associated regulatory shifts.
Cybersecurity "is a business imperative," says David Tittsworth, former CEO of the Investment Adviser Association and now counsel at Ropes & Gray in Washington. "Why would anyone want to deal with a firm if they have reason to believe that the firm is not taking proactive steps to avoid cyberattacks and to protect client information?" he asked.
Industry officials also anticipate Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton making good on his promise to rein in bad actors in the advisory space through the agency's newly created Retail Strategy Task Force, as well as a potentially busy rulemaking year for the securities regulator. For Clayton, fiduciary rulemaking and cybersecurity are "two of his priorities" in 2018, Tittsworth says.
For broker-dealers, more changes likely are to be driven by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority — namely a revamped exam program — as part of the self-regulator's ongoing top-to-bottom review known as FINRA360. Former SEC Commissioner Steve Wallman, now CEO of online broker-dealer FOLIOfn, characterizes the FINRA360 initiative as "very significant," and says he's crossing his fingers that the review will produce "useful results."
Elliot Weissbluth, CEO and founder of RIA consolidator HighTower, stated at the MarketCounsel conference in December that advisors are constantly dodging "regulatory curveballs."
A persistent complaint HighTower hears from registered investment advisors — and strives to help them address — is: "'When I joined the business, I spent 80% of my time with my clients and prospects and I loved doing that, and I spent 20% operating my business," Weissbluth said. "Today, I now spend 80% of my time operating my business — most of it's not fun — and only 20% of my time either talking to my clients or prospecting. I'd like to change that balance.'"
The RIA executive added: "With the rate of technology change, the world of investing and the complexities that we have to deal with, the regulatory curveballs that come at these relatively modestly sized businesses … those repeated shocks to a business after a while take a drain on their enthusiasm."
Investment Advisor turned to some of the top regulatory minds to gauge the main tasks advisors and broker-dealers will be reining in after the New Year. Here's what they said:
Fiduciary Go-Rounds
While the Impartial Conduct Standards under Labor's fiduciary rule kicked in on June 9 — and Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta has said DOL is ready to lob enforcement actions for "willful" violations of those standards — Brian Hamburger, head of regulatory consulting firm MarketCounsel, said at the firm's annual summit in early December in Miami that the 18-month delay of the rule's "most critical aspects" until July 1, 2019, "may spell the end of the rule."
Keeping pace with the impartial conduct standards will "cause an uptick in compliance costs and time spent," says George Michael Gerstein, counsel with Stradley, Ronon Stevens & Young in Washington, who specializes in helping advisors and broker-dealers navigate the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA.
On Nov. 27, DOL officially delayed by 18-months the start of the fiduciary rule's Best Interest Contract Exemption and the Principal Transactions Exemption, and of the applicability of certain amendments to Prohibited Transaction Exemption 84-24 (PTEs), which deals with annuities. While supporters of the delay say that it will give the SEC time to step in, Micah Hauptman, financial services counsel for the Consumer Federation of America — a staunch fiduciary rule advocate — maintains that delaying the exemptions is "really stopping the rule from coming into effect."
During the extension, DOL said it would "consider public comments" submitted as part of the Department's July Request for Information and would review the criteria set forth in President Donald Trump's Feb. 3 Memorandum, "including whether possible changes and alternatives to exemptions would be appropriate in light of the current comment record and potential input from, and action by, the SEC, state insurance commissioners and other regulators."
During the 18-month delay (the original compliance date was Jan. 1, 2018) Hamburger says the SEC can "finally take on the [fiduciary] issue itself." Wallman adds that the "delayed conditions of the [fiduciary rule's] exemptions provide the opportunity to further improve and enhance the approach, the rule and the exemptive relief."
Leadership from the SEC "on fiduciary standards for all investors is the right approach as the DOL regulates retirement plans and individual retirement accounts, representing a large section of all invested accounts, but not all accounts," argues Wallman.
Both Gerstein and Tittsworth see Labor releasing a revised rule proposal in 2018 — with Tittsworth predicting that Labor will release the report ordered by President Trump in the first quarter and that the report will "provide an outline of potential changes DOL would like to see in its fiduciary rule."
Later this year, DOL will issue an Administrative Procedures Act rulemaking, Tittsworth opines, "with an opportunity for notice and comment." He also sees the SEC floating a proposed fiduciary rulemaking during 2018.
In addition, the industry is anticipating a new exemption in the revised DOL fiduciary rule, likely addressing clean shares — which first came via T shares (or "transactional" shares) and then share class Z, or "clean" shares — and were developed to allow level commissions that the broker could charge directly to the customer.
Gerstein says the new class exemption, however it's labeled, will be "aimed at incentivizing products that reduce conflicts of interest and enhance transparency."
More Bucking Straps
Labor Secretary Acosta told lawmakers in late November that DOL and the SEC are indeed collaborating on a uniform fiduciary standard rulemaking. However, some confusion surrounds the exact outcome, as each are held to different statutory mandates. DOL "must follow the strict mandates of ERISA, while the SEC must follow the federal securities laws, including the complicated provisions of Section 913 of the Dodd-Frank Act," Tittsworth explained.
"It's ironic to me that members of Congress have chided the SEC for not taking the lead in harmonizing SEC and DOL conduct standards but fail to acknowledge the different statutory requirements that Congress created for the two agencies," he added.
SEC Chairman Clayton indicated at a Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association conference in Washington in late October that the SEC's fiduciary rule would not "supplant" DOL's standard. Labor has "their process, we have our process, [and] we have to respect this," Clayton said, adding that "at the end of the day we're all going to operate in this" fiduciary space.
"The SEC has a responsibility to be a leader in this space, DOL has a responsibility, and the states have a responsibility," he explained. "We need to cooperate. Hopefully we'll end up in a place where the investor is satisfied."
Wallman of FOLIOfn argues, however, that DOL "can assist and fill in any gaps as needed," regarding fiduciary standards, "but the SEC should act now to set fiduciary standards in the 'advice' industry."
Leadership from the SEC on fiduciary standards "for all investors is the right approach as the DOL regulates retirement plans and individual retirement accounts, representing a large section of all invested accounts, but not all accounts," Wallman added.
Coordination among Labor, the SEC and the states also will guard against a "conflicting patchwork" of regulatory obligations, opined Gerstein. "If 2017 taught us anything, it is that these stakeholders going their own way leads to confusion and inefficient allocation of capital."
Tech Barrels
In 2017, SEC Chairman Clayton announced that the agency's EDGAR system of public filings had been hacked sometime in 2016, with two individuals' names, birthdates and Social Security numbers being accessed. In response, Clayton launched a new Cyber Unit as well as an internal review of the hack, and in mid-December took the first step to shore up the agency's cyber controls by modifying how mutual fund companies electronically file detailed information about their funds via Form N-PORT. (See "Regulatory Texas Two-Step.")
While the agency will continue to perform due diligence on its cyber practices in the New Year, industry firms can rest assured that SEC exams will zero in on their cyber policies. Indeed, Wallman answered an affirmative "yes" when asked if cybersecurity is his biggest technology fear in the coming year.
"FOLIO maintains a highly aggressive posture on cybersecurity," he said. "We began as, and remain, an entirely online firm, so cybersecurity has always been top of mind for us. We include our cybersecurity preparedness activities whenever we make changes to our business model, or upgrade our systems or services."
Cyber-related misconduct in the securities markets "is an incredibly important, and perhaps should be the most important, area of focus for the SEC," Wallman argues.
"The SEC's regulatory oversight is critical to individual firms' efforts to combat criminal cyber activity. Both are necessary to protect investors, as well as an increasingly digital financial services industry," he explained.
Tittsworth agrees that cybersecurity will continue to be "one of the most important, resource-intensive and time-consuming" issues that asset managers and other industry players must grapple with in the New Year and beyond.
"On the one hand, asset management firms must be cognizant of the SEC's stated intent to ensure that all registrants take their cybersecurity obligations seriously," Tittsworth warned.
Given that the SEC's Cyber Unit is within the Enforcement Division, one looming question is whether the securities regulator "will bring enforcement actions against firms for failing to take reasonable steps to mitigate potential cyberattacks and to protect sensitive client data and to notify clients if and when a breach occurs," he states.
Wallman believes that the federal government generally — not just the SEC — "must do much more to promote cybersecurity standards and stop cybercriminals. Otherwise, the current state will quickly become far worse for all of us."
The "technology and potential threats are escalating and changing rapidly and will require substantial, continuing cooperative and dedicated efforts by both government agencies and the private sector," Tittsworth adds. But he cautions that the SEC "should be very cautious in pursuing any rulemaking that could impose stringent requirements that may be outdated before they go into effect."
Lassoing in Bad Actors
Brad Bennett, former head of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's enforcement division and now a partner at Baker Botts in Washington, says advisors and broker-dealers should pay close attention to the SEC's Retail Strategy Task Force. Clayton has stated publicly that he's stunned by the amount of retail fraud that still exists.
Stephanie Avakian, co-director of the agency's enforcement division, said during an industry event last year that the task force will use data analytics to root out misconduct "occurring at the intersection of investment professionals and retail investors," namely mutual fund share class and wrap-fee account abuse.
The retail task force will zero in on "the many ways that retail investors intersect with the securities markets and look for widespread misconduct," Avakian says, drawing on the agency's "experience in the retail space and elsewhere to identify strategies that have worked well for us across all kinds of cases, particularly those in which we used data analytics and technology."
Clayton also announced late last year that the agency is creating a website that will contain "a searchable database of individuals" who have been barred or suspended as a result of federal securities law violations. "This resource is intended to make the prior actions of repeat offenders and fraudsters more visible to investors," he said.
The database will serve "as a key tool when making decisions about who an investor or a firm should do business with," according to Wallman. "In our highly regulated world, information is key. We support more information being in the public domain. Most financial services firms aggressively identify and avoid employing or dealing with 'bad actors.' A centralized, searchable database will augment their efforts."
Ryan Parker, CEO of Edelman Financial Services, sees "regulations [as] necessary for maintaining the integrity of financial services, and for weeding out bad actors and bad activities that would otherwise undermine the entire industry."
FINRA Ropes
Launched last year after FINRA CEO Robert Cook's listening tour, the FINRA360 initiative has resulted in the self-regulator making new investments in examiner training and offering new compliance tools for broker-dealers, a newly consolidated enforcement program, as well as the delivery of a first-of-its-kind exam findings report.
Cook told lawmakers last year the self-regulator was exploring ways to give investors and research firms access to "bulk data" on broker-dealers that employ brokers with a history of FINRA violations.
The regulatory scheme "that has evolved since the 1970s was built on factual assumptions that do not apply well to today's world," said Wallman. "Streamlining, and even eliminating requirements, that can free up firms' resources to focus on more relevant and timely issues in a fintech-driven marketplace is a win-win for everyone."
What's more, "aggressive implementation of the recommendations that could come from such a [FINRA] review will help both investors and financial service firms," he points out; as an online broker-dealer and fintech company, FOLIOfn sees "firsthand how technology can be a huge game changer for financial-services companies."
New FINRA360 undertakings in the New Year should include FINRA keeping pace "with the industry on issues such as simplifying disclosure to accommodate a world where investors and advisors do everything on their mobile devices," Wallman explains.
"FINRA can do this by being a leader on issues such as the role a broker-dealer has in an electronic world and what kind of entities can play in the space with or without broker-dealer registration," he said. "We think this is particularly critical for small-cap companies and crowdfunding type efforts."
FINRA should also start to provide investors "with guidance" on Initial Coin Offerings/Blockchain, according to Wallman, describing what they are "and the risks of investing" in them.
As in years past, keeping up with compliance chores — old and new — will consume a great deal of time for advisors and broker-dealers in the New Year. It's time to saddle up, check the gear and prepare for a wild ride.

Larger Palmer resource, more growth soon
Maiden indicated, barite resource does not include AG Zone
Last updated 10/12/2018 at 4:38am
Constantine Metal Resources Ltd. has substantially increased the resources at Palmer, including the first indicated resource and inaugural estimate of the barite that makes up a large percentage of this zinc- and copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit in Southeast Alaska.
According to the new calculation released on Sept. 27, the South Wall-RW deposit at Palmer now hosts 4.68 million metric tons of indicated resource averaging 5.23 percent (539 million pounds) zinc, 1.49 percent (154 million lb) copper, 30.8 grams per metric ton (4.2 million ounces) silver, 0.3 g/t (40,900 oz) gold and 23.9 percent (1.12 million metric tons) barite.
In addition, the deposit hosts 5.34 million metric tons of inferred resource averaging 5.2 percent (612 million lb) zinc, 0.96 percent (113 million lb) copper, 29.2 g/t (4.5 million oz) silver, 0.28 g/t (436,000 oz) gold and 22 percent (1.17 million metric tons) barite.
This marks a roughly 36 percent increase in total resource compared to the 8.1 million metric tons of inferred resources averaging 5.25 percent (940.4 million pounds) zinc, 1.41 percent (252.6 million lb) copper, 0.32 g/t (83,600 ounces) gold and 31.7 g/t (8.3 million oz) silver, calculated in 2015.
"We are very pleased to report that this latest update significantly expands and enhances the resource base at the Palmer project," said Constantine Metals President and CEO Garfield MacVeigh.
Upgrading a portion of this deposit to the higher confidence indicated category will assist Constantine and joint venture partner Dowa Metals & Mining Co. Ltd. in studying the economics of developing a mine at Palmer, which will begin with a preliminary economic assessment currently underway.
"We are excited to incorporate these positive developments in the preliminary economic assessment, establishing the path forward for this important high-grade base metal asset," MacVeigh added.
AG resource coming
The new resource calculation does not include the high-grade mineralization that the company is drilling at AG Zone, a silver-, zinc- and barite-rich target about 3,000 meters southwest of the South Wall-RW zone.
The 2017 discovery hole at AG cut 9.2 meters of massive barite-sulfide averaging 312 g/t silver and 0.9 g/t gold.
This year's drilling continues to expand this exciting new zone of VMS mineralization at Palmer
Further drilling at AG identified stacked strata-bound zones, including a high-grade silver-gold upper zone and a zinc-rich lower zone.
Highlights from this year's drilling include 12.5 meters of 1.8 g/t gold, 217 g/t silver and 5.2 percent zinc in hole CMR18-109; 28.8 meters of 0.5 g/t gold, 141 g/t silver, 9 percent zinc and 3.5 percent lead in CMR18-110; and 21.3 meters grading 0.5 g/t gold, 92 g/t silver, 1 percent zinc, 0.4 percent lead and 55 percent barite (BaSO4) in CMR18-114, the most recent hole reported from AG.
So far, this year's drilling has outlined AG Zone for about 450 meters along strike. The deposit is open toward Jag, a high-grade zinc-lead-silver outcrop about 100 meters to the southeast, and toward Waterfall, a target being drilled this year about 1,000 meters to the northwest.
"There is excellent opportunity to continue to expand the current resource, to add to the resource base with the planned maiden resource estimate for the AG zone, and to make additional deposit discoveries," said MacVeigh.
2.29 million tonnes barite
What this resource does include is a maiden NI 43-101-compliant calculation of the amount of barite in the South Wall-RW deposit.
At 2.29 million metric tons – 1.12 million metric tons in indicated resource and 1.17 million metric tons in the inferred category – this industrial mineral has the potential to be a significant contributor to the overall economics of mining at Palmer.
Making up roughly 23 percent of the overall mass of the South Wall-RW deposit, most of this barite would need to be handled during mining, whether as waste rock or a saleable product.
Metallurgical work carried out this year demonstrates that simple additional steps to the mineral processing plant proposed for Palmer can recover 91.1 percent of the barite in a clean, high-grade concentrate that exceeds the standards for oil and gas drilling, the largest use for the mineral.
"This may have very positive implications with the potential to both enrich gross metal value per tonne (metric ton) and provide significant environmental and operational benefits by reducing waste," said MacVeigh.
Constantine has commissioned market experts to evaluate wholesale barite prices for different North American oil basin markets.
Preliminary estimates range from US$170 to US$225 per short ton, or US$187 to US$248 per metric ton.
The study will also include an analysis of transportation options and cost to access the most likely of these markets. Alaska, with its oil and gas fields on the North Slope and in Cook Inlet, would be a good market for Palmer barite.

About this Event
(Formerly 'Taste of QTC Supper') Our Information Night in September is a chance for you to get answers for your questions and to discuss your options.
Vibe us out or get straight to the point with your burning questions, Taste of QTC is your chance to get to know QTC, or find out more about what theological study is like.
QTC is a theological college that provides training for those who want to go into gospel ministry, or for those who want to be better equipped in knowing and sharing the truths of the Scriptures, serving in your local church, or sharing the gospel in your everyday life. We exist to see Jesus Christ glorified as his church is strengthened and the gospel proclaimed to all nations. We take what we're doing seriously because God's glory is the blazing centre of our universe!
All our lecturers are passionate about the gospel of the Lord Jesus, and want nothing more than to see people like you equipped for ministry in the local church, here and around the world. It's also why we work so hard to make sure our team is highly qualified academically and experienced in ministry on the ground. For us, studying theology or reading the bible can never be an end in itself. We do these things so that we might know God and serve Jesus Christ more effectively. We long to see the widest range of people equipped to serve Jesus Christ here in Queensland and beyond.
Our community is made up of all kinds of people. We have students who've been studying for years and others who've never studied at a tertiary level before. Queenslanders whose blood runs maroon sit next to immigrants from NSW. Indigenous Australians study alongside students from Africa, Asia and beyond. Together we sit under the authority of the Bible to encourage one another in our understanding and application of God's word.
We long to see the gospel go to the four corners of the earth, starting right here. Students are constantly encouraged to "do the work of an evangelist" even as they study, and as we pray for the work of the gospel in the world, we encourage all our community to think through our responsibility to take the message of Jesus Christ across every border and boundary. We're also passionate about local church ministry and we offer a huge range of options to see people equipped as local pastors and ministry workers as well as committed local church members. Our prayer is that God would enable us to train generations of gospel-driven leaders to serve the church in our increasingly challenging world.
For those who can, we'd love you to come and study full-time with us here for one, two or three years because we believe it's the best and most effective way for you to be equipped for ministry. We also realise that for many people that's an impossibility, so we offer flexible options for study. You can study part-time and take advantage of our night classes and our online units. We offer every level of study from basic training of members of local churches through to PhDs. Whatever option you choose, we'd love to have you as part of the QTC family, and pray that in God's mercy he will continue to work in our lives and equip us to serve our Lord Jesus Christ together.

An enthusiastic crowd of over 150 people attended the annual meeting of the Progress Center for Independent Living one recent Saturday afternoon at the Mohr Community Center. Celebrating the Forest Park-based, non-profit organization's 20th anniversary, the annual party served as an opportunity to share information, promote advocacy, and empower people with disabilities.
Consumers of the Progress Center, who seek services through the organization, visited several booths offering information on voter registration and rights, paratransit information, and the West Suburban Access News Association, which provides information about programs and services for persons with disabilities.
Community organizer Sam Knight reminded consumers about the "I'd Vote" initiative, encouraging people with disabilities to register and vote in this year's election. "The best way to advocate the rights of people with disabilities is through elected officials," Knight said. "And the only way legislation can be changed is if we are registered voters."

Business Continues at State Capitol, Pence or No Pence
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - As the Republican National Convention is being held in Cleveland this week, the talk in Indiana is focused on Governor Mike Pence being selected as Donald Trump's running mate. Now that the national spotlight is on Pence, does that mean fewer things get done at Indiana's statehouse? Not necessarily according to state Senator Karen Tallian (D-Portage). Tallian said during the next few months Pence will be paying attention to the race for the White House, but she said business will continue in Indianapolis.
"The agencies will continue to do what they're doing," she said. "There won't be much leadership, I think, out of the governor's office, in terms of directing what they're doing. So it's not like government is going to shut down but I don't think we'll see any big policy changes."
In announcing the selection of his running mate, Trump said Pence will stand up to America's enemies and that the two of them represent the "law-and-order candidates."
Tallian doesn't believe Pence will help Trump win the White House, but she said if Democrat John Gregg is elected to replace Pence, it might advance legislation that she said is vital for Indiana.
"The Democrats have a lot of bills that we have pushed over the years that don't get hearings because they're not on the Republican agenda, but nonetheless if John Gregg gets in, maybe someone will give us a hearing on the minimum-wage bill," she added.
Tallian feels Gregg, who narrowly lost to Pence in 2012, has a very good chance of becoming governor. The state Republican committee is meeting July 26th to make its selection as to who will run against Gregg.

The following was what I was filled with during this past night. I call it a vision – as it came about without any pre-thought and it kept repeating all night long. That told me I had to write it out and send it to the WGEN list.
When you pray – WHO do you pray to? I ask that because in my life I have met and talked to many who pray to someone or something other than God the Father. It seems to be denominational Doctrine that causes people to pray to someone or something OTHER than to God the Father. My understanding of scripture is that we are commanded to NOT pray to anyone other than God the Father and we are NOT to set up graven images or anything that gets in the way of God the Father.
The second commandment, recorded in Exodus 20:4–5, reads, "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them." Likely, this refers back to the first commandment, "You shall have no other gods before Me," and specifically forbids the creation of idols. But it is equally dangerous to create an image of God Himself. God has given us reminders enough of His power and glory (Romans 1:20) without man attempting to use created things to represent the Creator.
Functionally, there is no difference between a "graven" image (Deuteronomy 4:16) and a "molten" image (Exodus 34:17). Both are man's attempt to define and confine the power of God who works over creation. Both are the result of greed and covetousness, along with the fear that God does not have the worshipers' best interests at heart. Graven images, whether an idol, a crystal, or a charm, are attempts to limit the power of God and reduce it to a small package that we can control. As with any kind of worship, the object of adoration inevitably controls us.
Jesus instructed His disciples on HOW TO PRAY and WHO TO PRAY TO:
Matt. 6:1-4
1And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3Give us day by day our daily bread.
4And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
I can find NO mention in scripture telling us to pray to Mary or to some departed Saints or to some denominational leaders. In fact I find the opposite. That is denominational Doctrine that promotes those kind of prayers.
Deut. 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deut. 12:32 "Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it.
REV.. 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
I remind all that there is only ONE way to God The Father and it isn't via some statues, beads, crosses, head coverings, beards, or all the things that man has devised to appear to be Holy.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I know many folks make New Years resolutions – let me suggest that this year you resolve to check all those denominational doctrines with Scripture – the HOLY BIBLE, not the denominational books.
Every year I am questioned about my failure to *celebrate* holidays. I used to go thru the outward *celebrating* – all that buying and wrapping and pagan based practices that are supposed to be the way to *celebrate* holidays. Then one day I decided to find where it is in Scripture that I am to put up a tree or color eggs and hide them – and all the other practices that go on with these holidays. I looked and looked and found none to back up such practices… so, I stopped doing it and spent my time on those designated days in prayer – in my prayer closet if you will. I no longer go thru the faux worship of the commercial holidays. No more Santa stuff or Easter Bunny stuff (LIES) but my time is spent in prayer and worshipping the Reason we are told those holidays are meant for. So many are based upon pagan celebrations and then at a point in time they were masked to please the *christian* community.
So, I ask each of you to examine all these holidays – practices – and ask yourself WHO IT IS YOU PRAY TO. Scripture warns us against worshipping IDOLS and to only preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ – none other – I find NO DENOMINATIONAL DOCTRINES mentioned in Scripture. I find, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." It says preach THE GOSPEL – not the Denominational Doctrine of some certain denomination.
Do not blindly follow these denominational doctrines – go to the SOURCE – the Holy Bible – and if it isn't there you should consider what else is not being correctly taught and preached by that denomination. On Judgement Day you are not going to be able to lay blame on some denominational doctrine or false teachers.
Make your New Years Resolution to study the Bible and to ask Jesus Christ into your heart and to become Born Again so that you will spend eternity with Jesus and God the Father. You need to put the KEY into the ignition and turn the engine on. God never steers a stopped car – He only steers it when it is moving.

New You
Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. -2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
Many people embrace religious philosophy rather than a new heart. A member of our family graduated from college and seminary, earning a Ph.D. But after all that, in a tent revival meeting, he realized he had not truly received Christ, and was born again. The genius of the new birth is that you become a new creation.
As in natural birth, spiritual birth launches us on a process of growth that encompasses the total heart – the spiritual and the physical. You might have launched a new lifestyle of good diet and exercise habits last January, and maybe you achieved weight-loss and fitness goals. Now you're at the end of the year.
But you still must commit to continuing the process of healthy growth that doesn't stop until you're in Heaven. Perhaps you failed, slipping off your diet, neglecting personal time with God, forgetting your exercise regimen.
The miracle of grace is that there is always a time and place for beginning again. Stay on the course of renewal in Christ for your total person. He gives new lives for old!Read More

An abrupt change
36 Comments »
I've heard there's been some snow – any near you yet? Good to see something other than smoke, I bet!
Comment by Mama's Empty Nest — September 19, 2017 @ 10:09 am
Great news! Very relieved to hear it.
Happy for you. I know that feeling exactly. We've had several rainy days and the smoke has backed off. So good to breathe the cleaner air again.
Comment by wordsfromanneli — September 19, 2017 @ 12:04 pm
We haven't received a whole lot of rain, but enough to make a big difference (along with the colder temps).
It's been so good to see a bit of moisture. We all love a sunny day, but this summer it was too much of a good thing.
Comment by wordsfromanneli — September 20, 2017 @ 8:27 am
I'm glad to hear it! That's a beautiful scene.
Comment by New Hampshire Garden Solutions — September 19, 2017 @ 2:49 pm
I'm so glad to hear about the improvement (in the fires)
The fog/mist over the river makes for a very moody scene and well worth a photo. I imagine all the local residents around the major fires are hoping for an early snowfall this year.
I've been enjoying the photos of the snow at higher elevations, and hoping that you were profiting from the higher moisture levels. It's so nice to see such a lovely photograph, and to know that in your neck of the woods, at least, there is some autumnal change happening. We have to wait a while, but if the temperatures would drop even into the sixties, there's so much moisture around that we'd at least have ground fog. I really like the way you've captured the reflection of the trees despite the fog.
Comment by shoreacres — September 19, 2017 @ 8:13 pm
I've seen snow on the mountains here over 7,000 feet but haven't yet had a chance to hike up to it. Hopefully in the next couple of days. The temperatures and the humidity are good but the fire crews still have work to do before they are off for the year. It will be interesting when the fire area closures are lifted and I can hike up into the burn and see what it's like up there too.
Glad to hear that the fires are being brought under control! Holding thumbs that they'll be entirely extinguished soon.
Comment by de Wets Wild — September 19, 2017 @ 8:33 pm
So glad the smoke has cleared!
Comment by Brian Sostrom — September 20, 2017 @ 11:15 am
That's good news. Long may it last!
Hi Montucky, So glad for your area! Nice to have the cooler foggy weather and less smoke and terrible threat of the fires. Have a great day tomorrow!
Comment by wildlifewatcher — September 20, 2017 @ 6:24 pm
Glad to hear things have calmed down …. 🙂
Comment by Teresa Evangeline — September 20, 2017 @ 8:10 pm
Bring on the rain! Great news ..
Comment by Julie@frogpondfarm — September 22, 2017 @ 1:36 pm
Yes, an abrupt and wonderful and COLD change. 😉
That's great news re: the fire.
Excellent photo. Foggy weather are general in Finland in fall when the weather is warm. So it is now even in Helsinki.
Beautiful photo. Thats such a relief
