text: 5G economics: Is the Internet in danger of splitting? Examining the future of the Internet, 5G, and connecting the 3.5 billion people across the globe who don't have access. 09 Feb 2019 12:41 GMT Business & Economy, Internet, Europe, Environment, Venezuela In a bid to control the internet of the future, some say a kind of digital iron curtain is descending. The United States is on one side, while on the other there's China. Other countries are lining up, too. "There's a divide, it's not as simple as black and white, left or right," explains Adrian Lovett, president and CEO of The Web Foundation. "There's an original internet that's based on openness and permissionless space, which is associated with the pioneers of the internet; there's a European internet emerging, which has some of those features but elevates a focus on privacy and protection of individual citizens - perhaps at the cost of innovation; and there's a Chinese model, which is not only restricted to China, where the emphasis is on surveillance and social cohesion within that." "For the first time, more than half the world is online, and the other half are not. So there's a real problem for the 3.5 billion people who don't have access to the internet at all. We have to work on that. But for those who do, there's a whole range of different experiences," says Lovett. This is also a battle about 5G, or fifth generation wireless, the technology that increases the amount of data that can be transmitted wirelessly. "For half the world, 5G is a pipe dream. While some people are worrying about getting into their driverless cars in the next few years, half the world is yet to send its first email. So it's important to keep this in proportion," he says. For the first time, more than half the world is online, and the other half are not. So there's a real problem for the 3.5 billion people who don't have access to the internet at all. We have to work on that. Adrian Lovett, president and CEO of The Web Foundation "The Web and the internet were intended to be for everyone and if you're in a decreasing minority of your fellow citizens who are not connected when most of them (the world) are, then you're missing out on some pretty fundamental things like being able to access some healthcare services, to vote, to participate in public life in various ways. So, 5G is not the solution to those kinds of challenges; 5G needs to happen in the right way." "But we also need just as much energy behind insuring that everybody gets connected, including the hardest to reach, including women who are less likely to be connected than men and less likely to be active online, and including rural areas as well as urban parts in the world. So, there's a real job to do there, especially focusing on getting everybody connected." The battle for control over Venezuela's assets One of the main sources of money for Venezuela currently is an asset that lies outside of the country and is itself the centre of an international tug of war. Venezuela's cash cow, which generates most of its foreign currency earnings is a refinery, called Citgo. It's based in the US and there's a big fight brewing over who controls it in the future. Russia's Rosneft owns 49.9 percent of Citgo through a $1.5bn collateralised loan. The rest is owned by Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA. The cash it generates is crucial to President Nicolas Maduro and opposition leader Juan Guaido, who wants to replace the board. The US decision to sanction Venezuelan oil assets two weeks ago was a move designed to keep Citgo revenues out of Maduro's hands, which could present a challenge for Russian investments and claims. Venezuela assets (7:03) "We've had a bit of Russian investments within Venezuela during the Chavez and Maduro presidencies, so there will be a question as to what claims Russia is making, what role it's going to play, and how receptive all the other players in Venezuela are to Moscow's claims in that sense," according to Daragh McDowell, the head of Europe Research, and principal analyst on Russia at the risk analysis company, Verisk Maplecroft. "If there's a change of leadership and Guaido takes over, there will be potentially some sort of claim to dismiss a lot of the obligations made under Chavez and Maduro as illegitimate. Russia will naturally fight that legally." McDowell says that "the question of which claim will actually be out, in the end, is something that'll take a long time to resolve through international institutions, but this shows the kind of spoiler role that Russia can play in the country at the moment. It certainly doesn't have the resources to save Maduro at the moment or stabilise the situation in Venezuela, but it has enough of an interest to make any sort of transition difficult and that's the card that Moscow is probably looking to play over the coming weeks and months." According to him, the ownership of Citgo could turn into a legal tussle, "which is why we're seeing the limited Russian presence at the moment, why we're seeing private military contractors on the ground, why we're seeing this rhetoric from the Kremlin about the sovereignty of Venezuela and not wanting to back regime change ... it's a signal to the US, the EU and other powers that Russia does have interests in Venezuela that should be respected or compensated for somehow, or otherwise, Moscow can look at these legal options." Also on this episode of Counting the Cost: Venezuela health: A hospital in Venezuela has said 14 children have died this week following an outbreak of amoebiasis, a form of dysentery transmitted by contaminated food or water. Hospital workers there say there's a dire need for medicine, as Teresa Bo reports from the coastal city of Barcelona. Senegal currency: Senegal's currency has become a topic of debate before its presidential election at the end of this month. The CFA franc was introduced by France in 1945 and is used by 14 West African nations. Some Senegalese are opposed to it saying it is a legacy of colonialism, as Nicolas Haque reports from Dakar. Vanuatu climate: For the people of Vanuatu, rising sea temperatures, intense cyclones and erratic weather patterns are becoming a daily part of life. They are being forced to spend more money not only on protecting themselves, but also keeping their businesses afloat. And now, Vanuatu is considering legal action against big polluters thousands of kilometres away, as Andrew Thomas reports from Port Vila.Source: Al Jazeera Tell us what you think

Parents advocate group targets local schools
The Parent Education Action Network (PEAN), a local initiative designed to address disparities in the school system, is looking to help parents get more involved in their children's education by hosting a workshop later this month.
Since its inception in 2015 PEAN, has brought parents, community leaders and other organizations in the community together to build partnership with priority schools in the local district. A priority school is a school among the lowest 5 percent of Title I schools in the state based on the achievement of all students in terms of proficiency on the statewide assessments.
According to a list posted on the N.C. Public Schools website, between 2015 and 2017, 11 schools in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district were listed as "priority" or "failing." PEAN is looking to change that narrative with its For Parents by Parents Parent Academy.
The goal of the free, year-round parent engagement initiative is to help each other become full partners in our children's education by providing education excellence for all children by informing parents about the importance of their roles, uniting families and school, and giving parents a fuller sense of their rights, and responsibilities. The year-long initiative will provide free workshops for parents and children, peer parent partner support, transportation, cash stipends and warm meals.
The first session of the For Parents by Parents Parent Academy will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at the local NAACP headquarters, 4130 Oak Ridge Drive.
For more information or to register please contact Nakida R. McDaniel at 336-830-4522.

2010 LARGE-SCHOOLS GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Edwardsville's Mary O'Keefe
Club basketball softened the trauma, but the jump from St. Mary's girls basketball straight varsity for the Edwardsville Tigers was quick to toughen Mary O'Keefe.
Edwardsville's Catholic schools compete in a conference where all the members begin with Saint. The daily practices with the Tigers weren't so charitable with O'Keefe put up against 6-foot-2 senior all-stater Anya Covington.
Every day, O'Keefe was faced with bigger, stronger, faster. She had to get better or get left behind. O'Keefe got better.
"That goes back to her being behind Anya her freshman year and just taking a beating everyday," Edwardsville coach Lori Blade said of O'Keefe's ascension as a junior to The Telegraph Large-School Player of the Year.
Covington is now playing Big Ten basketball at Wisconsin, where she averaged 5.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 15-plus minutes per game for the 21-11 Badgers as a sophomore. And O'Keefe has filled the role as leader in the lane for a Tigers team that has produced three straight 31-3 seasons ending with Elite Eight berths.
The 6-foot O'Keefe averaged 13.0 points and 5.2 rebounds a game while earning first team All-Southwestern Conference recognition for the second straight season. And she credits her time playing with Covington and then Megan Sharpe, the 2009 Telegraph Player of the Year, for showing the way.
"Anya is a great player and I was very fortunate to have her here in my freshman year -- and then Megan my sophomore year - to be leaders for me and teach me how to play varsity," O'Keefe said. "It was helpful having them because it got me into it quicker, which I needed. ... It showed me that I had to work hard if I wanted to play for this team."
As a junior, it was O'Keefe's turn to play mentor.
"This year, it was good from the standpoint that roles changed for her to be a leader down in the post, and also she had to step up and do more, which she is very capable of doing," Blade said. "Mary's done a great job stepping up and providing leadership and everything we needed for the younger kids."
Younger kids were many for the Tigers, who next season return their entire roster from a senior-less squad that went 14-0 in the Southwestern Conference.
"Especially with how many freshmen we had, we knew we had to stay on task to get everything done," O'Keefe said of a leadership role she shared with junior starters Caty Ponce and Cierra Gaines.
O'Keefe's role on the court could change again as a senior. With 6-2 freshman Emmonnie Henderson expected to take on increased responsibility and 6-2 sophomore Leigh Kesper returning, along with 6-3 Taylor Robinson possibly in the mix, O'Keefe envisions more time away from the basket.
"If we go big, I'll have to be able to go out and guard quicker people and be able to shoot out there," O'Keefe said. "So my focus is just to keep trying to push everything out farther and get better at that."
That has already been work in progress for O'Keefe, a strong shooter who hit 53 percent from the field and 66 percent from the foul line last season.
"She has grown each year, exactly like I would want kids to do," Blade said. "The good part of Mary is she has great range and great touch. She has extended her range a little bit.
"Mary had not been the focal point of defenses until this year, so that ability has been nice for her development. ... With the kids that we return, I don't think that teams will be able to focus just on Mary or any other one kid next year. That will help us as a team and help Mary tremendously."

Dining without a plus one this evening, I was seated at a table with only the parents and partner of Noisette Bakery's founder, Sarah Lemanski! As well as being excellent company, they also gave me some of the lowdown on how Sarah founded the business after pursuing her lifelong baking passion.
Our 'world map' placemats showed the four countries sourced for the ingredients for each of our evening's four courses: Burundi, Spain, California and Uganda. Also on the map was a brief description of the dishes' key ingredients.
Each course, matched with a drink pairing, was accompanied with a menu card detailing the inspiration behind each dish on one side, and on the other side, a 'Hero' ingredient with details on the supplier. Guests had a choice of an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink pairing. Of course, I went for the boozy option.
Course one: Raspberry semifreddo with brûléed pink grapefruit, pink grapefruit curd, brown sugar angel cake and poppyseed crisp
The first course was served with the most unique drink I've ever tasted. It was a cold brew using coffee from the East African country of Burundi, Harewood Gin, Square Root tonic and pink grapefruit. It was mostly sour to taste but with sweet under notes, and matched the sweet and sourness of the dessert perfectly. The brew had an aftertaste that was almost liquorice-like. The first course was purposefully created to 'mirror the first meal of the day, breakfast. Think toasted poppyseed pumpernickel with raspberry jam, grilled grapefruit, brown sugar and that first coffee of the day.' Clever.
Course two: Brown butter baked pain perdu with apple butter, celery salt ice cream, toasted walnut crumb, bruyere honey syrup and bee pollen
The sweetness of Walnuts, honey and apple were the strong flavours for this course. The plate was inspired by honey from the Aragon region of Spain, the beautifully baked pain perdu (French toast), absorbing all the flavours presented. The honey used in this dish was sourced from local suppliers Stickeys. The main focus for the suppliers is the health and well-being of their bees, which unsurprisingly results in delicious honey.http://www.stickeys.co.uk/shop/
This course was matched with a Vodka Appletini with apple juice, elderflower and lime juice. Served in a martini glass with a slice of apple, the drink again complimented the flavours on the plates.
Course three: Miso caramel brownie, chocolate cremeux, passion fruit jam, caramelised white chocolate and miso rice crumb
Local Brewery Northern Monk made it onto the next course with their Passionfruit & Mango IPA. The IPA was so good an extra can was shared on our table!
The brownie made this course richer than the previous two. Four different chocolate products from Californian supplier Guittard featured on this plate. Established in 1868, the company 'pays the utmost attention to careful and ethical sourcing whilst crafting the best chocolate they possibly can, working closely with environmentally responsible producers to create a quality driven supply chain.' https://www.guittard.com
The Brownie was deliciously indulgent with a more-ish layer of salty-sweet miso caramel. The passionfruit jam brought a refreshingly lighter fruity flavour to the plate.
Course four: Cacao non and vanilla labneh with cocoa cracker, smoked vanilla shortbread and salted honeycomb.
There were two separate elements to the final course of the evening: a twist on the classic cheese and biscuits, and a bedtime favourite milk and cookies. The course was paired with a glass of Adega D Palmela Moscatel De Setubal, a sweet Portuguese aperitif. The 'Hero' ingredient this time was vanilla.
The cheese and biscuit element had sweet, smokey and sour flavours going on, with the sourness from the Labneh, smokiness from the smoked vanilla shortbread biscuit, and the fruity bittersweet cacao nibs.
The vanilla used in this course hailed from the fairtrade Ndali Estate in Uganda. 'The pods grown on the estate are shade grown, making them some of the highest quality in the world.' Over 600 smallholder farmers are now in operation on the estate http://ndali.net There are a lot of great initiatives that estate owner Lu is involved with, about ensuring long-term sustainability, improving local agricultural policies, and supporting local schools.
Finally, to finish the course off, what is there not to love with a glass of cold, nutty, vanilla milk and a hot gooey chocolate chip cookie.
I managed a quick chat with Sarah at the end of the evening, who told me how much fun they had developing the menu. By using their experienced palates and knowledge, the flavour combinations were instinctive and natural to them.
The menu was inventive, exciting, balanced and intriguing, utilising high quality and ethically sourced ingredients from both around the world and close to home. Our taste buds danced in a sensory overload.
I wait in anticipation to see what else will be happening at North Star and Noisette Bakery in the near future. A Coffee Academy is in operation from the premises, where you can obtain various qualifications in coffee brewing. There's also a potential work trip to Uganda on the horizon.
I most certainly will be back at North Star; in fact, I'm planning on heading down there this weekend for a lazy bank holiday brunch.

Tylt: The Best Power Accessories For Your Smartphone...
High quality design, paired with exceptional value, clearly defines Tylt. One of the major problems with cell phone users (which is pretty much all of us), is that they are now used for so much more than phone calls and texting. Emails, Internet surfing, listening to music and working with apps (downloading), especially with higher speeds with 4G, all drain our batteries quickly. Our cell phones eat up their power quickly, and leave you helpless.
Our favorite thing about Tylt cables is that they are truly tangle free. They can be used over and over and retain their perfect shape. Great performance mixed with an excellent, dependable design. There's nothing more you'll need.

Who else does that??? And while you are still wearing your Allen Edmonds, those wearing competitive brands will be on to their second, third, or fourth shoe already.

What's best than a break in your city during Paris Fashion Week?
Alix and I decided to stop by the Handsome Hotel, a new lovely 3-stars Boutique-Hotel in the center of Paris 1, near Les Halles.
15 min away from home, but already far enough to feel on a weekend.
We shot in bedroom #6, perfectly decorated by Dorothée Delaye & Daphnée Desjeux.
I truly loved the lights, the dark green mood and the vintage phone.
A really cosy Hotel where you just feel good. I'll be back soon.

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations. – Psalm 100
We humans are worshippers. We will worship. It is not something we have to muster up; worship comes naturally to us. What or whom we worship varies. Followers of Christ are drawn to worship God by His Spirit and in response to the Truth we find in Scripture. When the church gathers, we worship.
The church coming together in corporate worship can be a glimpse of Heaven. We are often led in worship by someone (or a team) entrusted by the church with that responsibility. It is not a light thing to lead a people into worship. There is ever the threat of moving the people's focus from God to the worship leaders themselves. A glorious choir, cool band, or winsome worship team can put on a really good show and our attention drifts from God…to them.
We have been blessed over the years by worshipping God with other believers in many situations. In congregations of thousands and in a small living room with another family. With worship led by one person on guitar and with a great choir and orchestra. In our own heart language and in Arabic, French, and other languages. In times of leanness of spirit and times when our hearts soared with gratitude to God.
Part of our gratitude goes to those worship leaders who help us shake off the cares of our lives for those moments as we gather. They lead us, through their own prayers, music, and servant attitudes, to train our hearts toward God and fix our eyes on Him. Holy perspective follows.
One of those worship leaders who has been a delight to us is Keilan Creech. He is a young singer/song-writer, and we had the privilege of worshipping under his leadership for a couple of years. He grew up in Brazil but currently studies and works in Richmond, Virginia. We don't see him often, but when we do, I tell him, "We will always be able to say 'we knew you when'…." One day, you will know him as his music career takes off, and I'm thinking he will be the same Keilan Creech we know, who loves God and loves the church.
His album Dying for a Change plays regularly when we're at home, and on our phones and in our car as we travel. Nathan Mills played electric guitar on that album and is now one of our worship leaders in the house church where we gather to worship. We are in a different season from the days of church of hundreds with Keilan and his team leading worship, but we continue to be blessed as church gathered, led in worship of a GOD who makes our hearts sing.
Worship with me:
Light Shining Out of Darkness by Keilan Creech (adapted from poem by William Cowper)
God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sov'reign will.
When the sky is grey
And all hope seems lost
There is light shining out
of darkness
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
When the sky is grey
And all hope seems lost
There is light shining out
of darkness
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Ariel Leaf discusses her show, Died in a Trailer Park/Woke Up a Mermaid, a series of stories pulled from her life.
Though Ariel's Fringe-For-All preview was tantalizing and gives little away, she goes into more depth here on the stories she's chosen and the arc she and director Ben Layne are creating. And while Ariel has dipped into autobiographical writing before with Teach Me Tonight, this is her first full-blown solo storytelling work.
Died in a Trailer Park/Woke Up a Mermaid runs August 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10 at Huge Theater.

Who Is Sexier: 4minute vs. SISTAR?
The two girl groups, 4minute and SISTAR, who are releasing albums soon, will go head to head with their lovely and sexy charms this month. On April 9, 4minute released their third mini album, "Volume Up," while SISTAR releases their first mini album, "Alone," three days later, on April 12.
The two groups, who are releasing their album around the same time, also had similar jacket covers. Both groups wore dresses with deep slits in the bottom that showed off their beautiful legs. On April 4, a photo of 4minute was revealed with dark smokey makeup on, which sort of made them look like seductive vampires. The very next day, SISTAR unveiled a photo of themselves with bold makeup and leather outfits, which showed off their alluring and sexy charms.
The two groups are both planning to accentuate their captivating beauty onstage for their new songs. In the introduction of 4minute's new song, "Volume Up," a saxophone, which isn't often used in girl group music, is played. It makes the song more engaging and interesting. SISTAR also has a smooth sound to their new song, "Alone," which allows you to see each member's charm.
A representative from 4minute's agency, Cube Entertainment, said, "When you see their stage, you are going to think of words like 'exceptional' and 'provocative.' They have prepared a powerful change." As well, a representative from SISTAR's agency, Starship Entertainment, said, "SISTAR's charm was originally their 'healthy sexiness,' however, now they are planning to show their sophisticated charm and look with their bold change."
Which group do you like better — 4minute or SISTAR?

What Open Door posts on Facebook - September 2012
As we start the month of September and hopefully enjoy a long weekend, we pray for safety for all who may be traveling, enjoying recreation, doing something with family and friends, etc.
We are thankful for God-given jobs and the opportunities to serve in various capacities. For all the people who labor to provide for their homes, families and children we thank you for your diligence and pray for favor with your employers and in your employment.
We especially remember those working in the ministry. We often give a hearty "Amen" to the Bible's description of the "work of the ministry". We are grateful for those serving in this way - both those in the public eye and those who do the jobs no one sees.
Regardless of your place of service, you can do it as unto the Lord. We can honor Jesus in the way we serve our employer, help our fellow workers, in the attitudes we display, and show forth that we want to be a blessing.
So we thank you for laboring to be a blessing, and we hope these verses will be a blessing to you.
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. ~ I Corinthians 3:9
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. ~ I Corinthians 15:58
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. ~ Hebrews 6:10
This hymn reminds us that the world does not just need to see us going to church, but they also need to see Jesus is us:
While passing thro' this world of sin,
and others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within;
Let others see Jesus in you.
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you.
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true;
Let others see Jesus in you.
Your life's a book before their eyes,
They're reading it thro' and thro'
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you?
Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave and true,
and lead the lost to life and Christ.
Let others see Jesus in you.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: ~ I Peter 2:9
A Job Well Done
As we come to Labor Day, the subject of work comes to mind. It often has a negative connotation because of what happened in the Garden of Eden. Yet before the fall, Adam still had things to do. He had dominion and anyone who has been in charge of anything knows that a lot of effort will be forthcoming. Granted, Adam did not have to wrestle with creation and the curse like we do now, but even so, there is honor in work done as to the Lord.
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. ~ Hebrews 6:10
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. ~ Ephesians 4:28
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. ~ I Corinthians 3:9
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ~ James 1:25
Regardless of our individual experience and feeling toward work, in this life there is just some doing that needs to get done. In our scriptures above we can see that there is a Godly aspect to labor.
As the title indicates, we like to hear that we have done well. We enjoy the satisfaction it gives us and especially when we see fruit of that labor. Our lives, the lives of others, can be benefitted and ministered to for the better ~ and the kingdom of God can be promoted and demonstrated.
As the scripture says, we all want to hear our Savior say: Well done!
Thus a Godly perspective on our work gives our laboring a good appeal.
As Jesus was growing up we find this scripture:
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. ~ Luke 2:52
What a great prayer to pray - that we would increase in wisdom and stature, and the we find favor each day with God and with man. What a prayer to pray for your children as they are growing up.
It is interesting to see the story of Jesus before this verse - He was about the heavenly Father's business and He was submissive to His parents. Lord we pray this would describe our children as well.
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. ~ Psalm 5:11-12
From Psalm 34:
1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
When something is magnified, we do not do it to change it. We do it in order to see it clearer, to understand it better, to get a better view of all its intricacies, to discover secrets that may be hidden.
Likewise when God is magnified in our sight and understanding, we can see a clearer picture of all He is and has. We can therefore both enjoy the things He has for and better flow with His plan and purpose for us. When He is magnified, others around can recognize and benefit from our loving God.
In the course of a normal day, do we take the time where we do something to improve ourselves, to learn, to grow and develop in any way? So much of our days are taken up with the routines we have developed often just to get us through - whether it be our job, family, home, or personal life. We get to the end of our day and we are just grateful we made it through. It's as if we are just treading water.
If you were an outside analyst called in to assess that person's life, on the one hand you could say they are holding their own but yet they are not going anywhere and you do not see much progress.
As our children age, we note the natural/physical growth that just comes on its own. We know that growth in other areas has to coincide in order for this young person to be successful: mental, social and intellectual skills and abilities must be developed.
As Christians we recognize the absolute need to grow spiritually - which will help us to use all our talents and abilities in the right way. We need good character, morals, and discernment to properly assess the situations that come before us.
As we become adults, we pray that we have the skill and abilities necessary for success. We note a particular passage that we all need today:
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. ~ Hebrews 5:13-14
We remember Jesus and the temptations in the wilderness. He was skillful in the Word of Righteousness and overcame temptation - using the Old Testament!
We note the following verse that speaks about Jesus:
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ~ II Corinthians 5:21
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. ~ Romans 3:28
After coming to faith in Christ, we are told to walk worthy of the Lord:
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; ~ Colossians 1:10
To put away iniquity:
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. ~ II Timothy 2:19
We are often confronted with the statement: Everyone sins and you cannot expect to do the right thing all the time.
A good response: I can always try!
Imagine coming to your teenage son or daughter and saying: I know you will not do the right thing all of the time.
Their response: I can always try and I plan to!
You will hug them quickly for that response. It is a sincere heart attitude that will be first and foremost in getting our actions to the right place.
Don't we love it when we see that in our children? God loves to see it in His children as well.
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. ~ Isaiah 60:1
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. ~ II Corinthians 4:6
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. ~ Matthew 5:16
In both the Old and New Testaments, we see that God wants His people to shine. Notice what is to shine - His light in us. It is not our intelligence, good looks, or personality that we should be shining. Granted they can be used for good, but it is dangerous to boast in them.
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; ~ II Corinthians 3:5
When we make the effort to glorify and honor God, we reap the benefits and blessings.
For those of us going to church today, may we make the most of our time. When we leave the service we should be able to say that we gave our best.
May we also say we gave our best when we come to end of Monday.
The point is that we always want see God's best - it should then be our goal to give Him our best as well.
We were reminded as we had Communion yesterday of how precious it is. We have been made partakers of Christ. We have the privilege of remembering Him and showing forth His death - declaring to the world that the price for sin has been paid!
We do not partake lightly. We earnestly desire to participate worthily knowing that it is indeed His body and blood that made the way for us.
Therefore we greatly rejoice and bow in reverence, and as the week begins we are determined to walk worthy of the Lord, be fruitful in the work of the Lord, and increase in the knowledge of God ~ Colossians 1:10
We write today in remembrance of 9/11. We recognize the direct impact it had and still has in the lives of people. We pray especially that these people will be able to move forward. The memories will continue, but they do not have to live at the 9/11 address that impacted their families and lives.
We know that emotional and inward hurts are very real. A pill, powder, or injection will not bring healing or relief. We note particularly the words of Jesus:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised ~ Luke 4:18
God well knows what inward hurt and turmoil will do to people. It is awesome to think that a main mission of the Spirit of God upon Jesus would be to heal and release those who are hurting on the inside.
How we earnestly pray for that manifestation in those who will minister and those who desperately need it. May this hope of healing and rescue from torment rise in the people who are depressed or in distress.
We pray heavenly Father for a great outpouring this day upon the lives of those who need You in regards to the 9/11 attack and aftermath.
The day after 9/11 many realized that life with all of its usual challenges would go on - now coupled with the devastation of the attack we had been through.
As we come to this 9/12:
Do not let the gloominess of this present day, in the world around us, detract from the light that we should be living and walking in.
Certainly gross darkness is covering the earth – God has already warned us about that. But from the Word of God concerning us, we see things like this:
(Mat 5:16 KJV) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
We are called children of Light
We are to be a light to those in darkness
We are told to put on the armor of light
We are light in the Lord
We are called Saints in Light
(1 Th 5:5 KJV) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
We have been called into His marvelous light (I Peter 2:9)
It would help us greatly when we deal with the darkness (usually daily) to remember that it is a different kingdom from the one in Christ. Though we may deal with it and be in it, it should not be in us.
Remember: Do not doubt in the dark, what God has shown you in the Light.
All around us we see the results of man's imagination. It would be nice if all of it was good. But we know that imagination and the thoughts of man can run both ways.
Our point is that it can be used for good - and we enjoy wonderful things because of it.
May we use our imagination to see ourselves doing the Word of God. That can be a good first step. All of us at some point acted on something for the first time. Example: Remember the first time you were called on to pray in public - perhaps say a blessing or give a benediction.
We have all been there and truth be told we may have done it in fear and trembling. But if you kept at it, you likely can do it now without a second thought.
So today if there is something you would like to do from the Word of God, a good first step might be to imagine yourself doing it, picture yourself doing it, ask God to develop that into your thinking and motivation.
It is an excellent way to be spiritually minded, and it is a good way to get started regarding acting on the Word of God.
We write today about growth and maturity - both are necessary. In the natural we see children grow physically and we know that they must mature. We know what happens when that is out of balance.
Spiritually as well people can grow in knowledge and ability; yet wisdom is needed to put what we know to proper use.
Jesus noted the following in Mark 4:16-17:
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
This "root" brings maturity and stability in our lives when storms, persecutions, and difficulties come in our lives.
Anything we develop in takes effort - both naturally and spiritually. Even the things that might be said we have a natural talent in will take work, practice and diligence in order to be more than just average.
We know in the natural there are ways to do things that bring the good result that we want. We just don't tell somebody on the job - just do it any old way that is good enough. You'll never experience any excellence like that. So we endeavor to learn from foundational principles, moving on to deeper things, getting around those who are experienced and getting their advice and counsel, and finally there is the learning by doing. We step out at the level we are and get to work.
We understand it very well from a physical standpoint (just be able to physically do something). In our children we recognize this when we see them growing in wisdom, in their decision making processes, and what we might call common sense. Finally we should recognize this spiritually in our lives as well.
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: ~ Ephesians 4:14-15
As we noted above, let us step out and get to work.
A scripture we have noted before:
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. ~ Proverbs 15;1
The point we make today: Be sure and be ready to give an answer!
This is critical today when Christian faith is being openly challenged and so many people are looking for the truth.
It should be our prayer and desire to give the answer that will bring the truth and light of the gospel to others.
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: ~ I Peter 3:15
Because it is Sunday, we just wanted to write about some hymns:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day
~hymn by Isaac Watts & Ralph Hudson
Let others see Jesus in you ~ hymn by B.B. McKinney
Mercy there was great and grace was free
Pardon there was multiplied to me
There my burdened soul found liberty
At Calvary
~ hymn by William Newell
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
~ Isaiah 26:3
Yesterday as we looked at our new life in Christ we noted this familiar passage:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ~ Romans 12:1-2
These verses are for those who are serious about following the Lord. So often in looking at the subject of new life in Christ, we emphasize what Christ has done for us. That is certainly the basis of it and we are eternally grateful for it.
But these verses tell us things that we need to do - and it will "take some doin" in this day and time.
Yet we know God will help us as it was His idea to start with. He has given us this new life and we should show Him our desire to live it out.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. ~ Ephesians 2:10
We have definitely seen violence, upheaval and uncertainty in our world in recent days. We therefore are thankful for the surety and certainty of our God and His Word to us.
Consider that Paul wrote two letters to the Corinthian church. There would surely be trying and uncertain times for them in the days ahead. The last verse He wrote to them:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. ~ II Corinthians 13:14
Let it be also with us dear Lord - grace, love and communion with the Godhead three-in-one.
May the reality of it be demonstrated to bless as many as we possibly can.
The call for Christians to pray has been sounded particularly in light of the world situation. We are reminded of the words of Paul in regards to where to start:
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. ~ I Timothy 2:1-2
Our leaders determine the course our country takes in so many areas. We must keep them in prayer. We pray especially verse 4 for them:
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Our leaders need salvation and need to know the truth in every situation in order make wise decisions. This is true for everyone - ourselves included.
May God's Spirit direct our praying and keep reminding us of the great necessity to pray.
Some interesting verse in regards to strife:
It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. ~ Proverbs 20:3
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. ~ James 3:16
There are many scriptures regarding the subject and it is interesting to see the surrounding verses and the context in regards to these scriptures.
And we note this one:
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. ~ Genesis 13:8
What a verse for this day and time! We know there can be heated discussions with passionate points of view. But may we be just as quick to say: Let there be no strife between us!
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. ~ Romans 12:18
We can be known as those who will speak their minds and stand up for the faith. We can also be known as those who will avoid strife and seek to make peace if at all possible.
The word "fortitude" has been described as having a "fort-attitude". This makes us think of protection and something standing between people and an enemy.
We are told to put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand ~ Ephesians 6. As long as the fort is standing, it can do its job. For us as well, we are told to continue to stand.
Though at times it would seem difficult to stand, the scriptures in Ephesians 6 show us that we are not to stand in our own strength. It says to stand therefore and then lists the armor and weapons that God has for us. After all the armor is listed we see verse 18:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
We need to understand that this is part of the arsenal as well. We pray God would show us how to effectively use what He has given in this day and time. Remember that God gives these things to us in order to win and to successfully stand - not to be defeated.
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. ~ Psalm 5:11-12
Many are familiar with George Barna and the Barna Research Group. They have done a number of studies concerning religion and Christianity. A common topic involves the impact of 9/11.
Their headline in 2006 was: Five Years Later: 9/11 Attacks Show No Lasting Influence on Americans' Faith
The story went on to say that after a surge in church attendance for a few weeks, fervent speeches, and singing of "God Bless America", people's religious lives essentially returned to a pre-9/11 state.
While the statistics paint a "sad but true" picture, an attack of any kind is not a basis for faith or an influence on it. Granted, it get's our attention and should wake us up. But our faith should be on the Solid Rock - Jesus and the Word of God.
Barna's research also shows us a pattern just like we see with the children of Israel - They sought God more in tragedy and tough times than they did when things were good.
This should not be the case with Christians. Yes we have a very present help in time of trouble, and we are told to come boldly to the throne of grace when we need help.
But the blessings of God should compel us the more to come before our heavenly Father, seek His face, and rejoice in His goodness. It should not take the "bad times" to bring us to our knees.
We enjoy being with God because He is good and His mercy endures forever.
May we endeavor to change these statistics mentioned above. May we be a people who show forth His praise because He has called us out of darkness and into his marvelous light. ~ I Peter 2:9
Don't you appreciate when people give their best - or at least when you know they are trying to? Their heart is in the right place, they are open to good advice and counsel, and you never have to question their loyalty.
May Jesus find each one of us to be as described above.
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. ~ Hebrews 2:1
We all we need reminders - many write reminder notes and sometimes forget where we put the note. Perhaps this is an indication of just how busy we are.
We know our natural lives are full - we have plenty to do. Reminders help us to prioritize that which is most important.
We should recognize this benefit spiritually as well. If we are good Bible students, we often know the things we should and should not do. Yet a good reminder will keep us from letting things "slip".
The Bible gives us a full plate as well - because it's all about this new life, how to act in this present life, and eternity. So it is no wonder that we need spiritual reminders to keep us on track.
On Sunday we did a song from Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Waiting on the Lord does not have to be something passive - it can be very active. Picture the scene when someone is waiting for a phone call. They are making sure that the call can get through - they check the line for a dial tone. If they get a call from someone else, they will quickly end it. They may do a few things right around that phone area while waiting but they are not going anywhere. Their focus and attention is waiting for that call.
They are in action mode. That call will determine a course of action and how they will proceed. They are just waiting for the information so they can get going.
This is a good way to "wait" upon the Lord. We are not reclining in our chairs with chips and dip. We are set to go and just need the "go ahead". We should seek various ways to show the Lord that we are actively waiting for His directions.
Wherever we are and in whatever circumstance, we can be a witness for Christ. We can be salt and light. We can have something to say and something to do.
Often it seems that out of the blue we are in some circumstance with a lot of characters and a lot of drama. Further it can be one that is just natural with people's emotions and what looks like a lot of immaturity. Wow - isn't that the world up close and personal.
It is in these times when we desperately need to ignore the flesh and hear from God about the right way to respond. May this be our prayer and determination.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. ~ Proverbs 25:11
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. ~ Colossians 4:6
Psalm 51 is a great Old Testament scripture when we need forgiveness, when we need to repent, and when we need the love of God. We note three verses below:
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. ~ Psalm 51:10-12
God has always wanted to forgive, pardon and cleanse us. We see this throughout the Bible since the fall of man.
We are grateful for the invitation to grace and mercy in the New Testament. Yet we must never forget the tremendous price paid and what Jesus went through to secure redemption for man. We should consider it trivial:
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; ~ Titus 2:11-12
May we always treat God's grace with the utmost respect.
This past Sunday we continued in our study of the new life in Christ. We again noted Romans 12:1-2 in regards to the things we need to do:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
We made note also of other scriptures. First regarding Jesus:
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. ~ Matthew 17:2 This account is also given in Mark 9:2
And this scripture regarding us:
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. ~ II Corinthians 3:18
The word "transfigured" in Matthew and the word "changed" in II Corinthians are both the same Greek word: metamorphoo. We recognize this from a transformation in nature.
We used the analogy of the caterpillar to the butterfly and showed numerous pictures of each. Caterpillars can look nice with splendid colors and decorations. But the world of the caterpillar is quite small and limited - he cannot go very far. On the other hand, the butterfly has been set free so to speak. The world of the butterfly can be quite large indeed and he has the opportunity to explore and be part of so much more.
It is interesting also that the caterpillar does not have to its own work to change into the butterfly. It is essentially done for him. But if you have ever seen a video of the process, you the know that the butterfly must exert a lot of energy and effort in order to emerge and launch into his new life.
In like manner, Jesus does the work of transformation in us - we cannot do it ourselves. But then as the scriptures teach, we must exert effort and energy in order to walk out this new life and to go from glory to glory and from faith to faith.
Of course this analogy is not completely perfect in relating the natural to the spiritual, but it is interesting and fits in a lot of ways. We can gain insight especially as the scripture uses the word to change that we see so drastically in the caterpillar.
Our goal once again is to be pleasing to our Lord and to demonstrate His life in us as much as possible.
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. ~ Romans 6:4
It is amazing that we are at the end of September and fall is here. On the 29th of the month we look at the last verse of Psalm 29:
The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
This verse talks about two things that so many people are looking for. May God's strength and peace not just bless our lives for our comfort, but they allow us the opportunity to go and bless others who need this reality.
Let us go and intentionally do something good!
We mentioned yesterday how time has flown and we have used up 3/4 of the year. It reminds us of the scripture that equates wisdom with redeeming the time:
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. ~ Colossians 4:5
The next verse is quite interesting in light of the times we are in:
Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
The older we get, the more we seem to recognize how precious time is. May we all the more seek to put our time to good use - to wisely speak and wisely do.

Homeowners have always been facing dilemmas day by day, different ones all the time, and there have been a few of these dilemmas that would usually take homeowners by surprise, and one of them would be those pest infestations that many are annoyed with. Many of these homeowners with pest problems will most likely try to deal with the problems themselves instead of seeking help, which is why majority of them end up with disastrous outcomes. If you hire pest control services, you will most certainly get more benefits and you can also have it the easier way, rather than when you just try to handle the pests and keep them away all by your own strength, skills, and knowledge.
They get you your own plans to better deal with your problem
The good thing about Watford City Rodent Control companies is that they do not just use that one same plan for every other cases they deal with, with regards to their customers, but they always make sure that their plans will suit the kind of problems their customers have. We all have to know that every problem needs to be dealt differently and that there is no absolute resolution to all the others, which is basically the reason why the pest control companies are careful about the plans they give out to you and they make certain that the plans they give will be effective for you to lose those pests.
Your own safety
The bad thing about these over the counter pest treatments is that they have the potential to further harm you than protect you from pests because of the chemicals found in them, which is why sometimes, the best thing to do is hire a professional to do the job for you. The good thing is, you wont have to worry about those dangerous chemical pest treatments down the drug store because there are now pest control companies to help you shoo those pests away without causing you harm! You are guaranteed that these companies will not make use of products that they know can destroy the environment or harm your family members. You don't have to worry about people making mistakes while doing their job in your home, because these people are very much knowledgeable about every single thing related to pest control. If you do not want to commit more and more mistakes and would always be careful and concerned about the welfare of your family, it will be best that you hire or avail the services of the professionals, for they can deal with those pests better than you.
How much should you be ready with?
You need to know that you must have at least a reasonable amount of budget before you actually try to make use of a professional's services at http://landsharkservicesllc.com/pest-control-services/.

Galway-Cavendish and Harvey Township is changing it's name to the "Municipality of Trent Lakes".

In a council meeting held on the 5th of February 2013, township council approved the new name, subject to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs giving its blessing.
The popular choice -- based upon votes for residents -- was for the township to assume the name Buckhorn, although Trent Lakes was
the second most popular. Other potential names included Bedrock, Hall's Bridge and Cathacoma.
The township is the third in Peterborough County to rename itself in recent years. The first was Cavan Monaghan Township (formerly Millbrook-Cavan-North Monaghan) while most recently Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield took on the name Selwyn.
