I am your God!
"I" pulled back the curtain, thinking I would see God, but what I saw was Man!
It is not <GOD> that works in mysterious ways, it is Man!
And Man's ultimate goal is not to save "us", but to eat all of "our" fruit (LIFE) from the inside out.
I have had dreams in which I have been trying to get them to see us as more than a tree, but all but one, see us as a crop that they planted for the exact purpose that they are using us for and that is it.
They do not love us, they do not hate us; we are nothing to them, but a good crop. They do not care that we feel pain or suffer. They do not care that we laugh and do good deeds.
The only thing they care about is coming into the dormant body of life old and leaving young and if they can get us to bow down to them, by bending to their will while "we" are here, then that is a bonus game that they get to play.
In my dreams I was able to get one of them to listen. He was very important though, like a Sr. VP or the son. He saw a spark of active "LIFE" in "me" and "we" talked, as I tried to get "HIM" to talk to "THEM".
This is what he told me: they are able to do what they do, because they are not working with active life lines. They are working with life lines that are nearly dead; Life at the end of their ropes. Then one of them got a brilliant idea, to take a dormant sleeping life line that had not been born yet and use that life line to feed off of and that has worked wonderfully, as their harvest has been bountiful.
The only potential problem with this course of action was that the "LIFE", even though "it" was detached from <GOD>, may some day, be born a new "LIFE".
That is the spark he saw and he told me, that they cannot destroy us after the harvest, if we can prove "LIFE"!
He told me that being able to evolve of our own free will is proof of "LIFE" and you cannot murder a "LIVING", because all hell would break loose and fall atop of Man.
The difference between change and evolution is clear. I will use this example; I always had a switch when it came to alcohol. Once I drank, the switch was flicked to the on position and I could not tun it off. Many will think that my ten years of sobriety would be proof of permanent change, but this is simply a change in action, which must be forcibly kept in order to maintain the change. This is not evolution!
Evolution would be when the body changes of its own free will, so as to remove the switch, so my body would not be so weirdly sensitive to alcohol. That would be an example of evolution.
Another example of evolution, would be the body healing itself from cancer or the body waking up and being able to see the men and women standing all around them or being able to sense the men and women, who dwell within.
Being able to sense that they are stealing my unborn life.
All it is is one tick on the clock and a new day is born!
One final note; you can force a body of life into re-birth by shocking it with truth, the only problem is that many forms will be lost, due to an inability to handle such a strain, but I have internalized most, if not all of the pain and I think the fall out would be minimal.
Fallout – Bodies turning themselves off, after finding out the truth of what man has done to us and what we are being used for.

The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy has launched a CPA Experience Verification service to provide CPA licensure applicants from the U.S. and abroad with a more coherent, standardized experience validation and verification process.
To apply for the Experience Verification service, applicants must pass the Uniform CPA Examination, and meet the educational and experience requirements for licensure (as outlined by the specific U.S. Board of Accountancy).
"The launch of the Experience Verification service directly aligns with our mission of enhancing the effectiveness of the Boards of Accountancy," said NASBA president and CEO Ken L. Bishop. "It is a much needed service for international and domestic CPA candidates."
NASBA's Experience Verification service is available in Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C. and Wisconsin.

Guest post by Christine Lindstrom of Lindstroms on the Road.
It's time once again for Thanksgiving in America. (The Canadians have already had theirs.) In true American fashion, each year we choose to show how thankful we are for the blessings of the year by attempting to consume them all in a single meal. (Just joking… sort of.)
Thanksgiving conjures images of a large extended family gathered around a table filled with turkey, stuffing, and platters of other delicious and festive foods. Young and old are dressed in their Sunday best and trying hard to save room for pumpkin pie. It's like a Norman Rockwell painting.
But what do you do when you live in an RV the size of the dining table in that painting? How can families on the road celebrate this iconic American holiday? Chances are, the reality will be far from the painting, but a memorable Thanksgiving celebration is possible wherever the road takes you.
Find Community
Friendships formed on the road grow fast and deep. We have found a community of other families on the road that have become like family to us, so it feels natural to celebrate family-focused holidays, like Thanksgiving, together. We first found our "tribe" on Thanksgiving, when we didn't want to celebrate alone. Through social media, we found a nearby group of families sharing Thanksgiving dinner that invited us to join them. We ended up spending the next three months together.
There are several networks to explore if you're looking to connect with other families this Christmas. Fulltime Families is a great place to start!
Join a Campground Potluck
Many campgrounds organize a Thanksgiving potluck dinner on site somewhere. Talk to your campground hosts to see if yours is one of them. Usually registration is required and there are often deadlines to sign up so don't wait until the last minute to find out.
This is a great chance to get to know your neighbors and have a multigenerational celebration. Retirees who are missing their far-away grandchildren are often thrilled when families join them for the holiday. It's convenient to stay on site and walk. This is also an opportunity to sample traditional Thanksgiving dishes from different regions of the country, where the menu might look different from what we're used to.
Visit Family or Friends
When your house is on wheels, you can choose to move it to celebrate holidays with extended family or friends that you might not see otherwise. While the November weather might not be optimal for RVs in all parts of the country, it is possible to spend Thanksgiving with loved ones if that is a priority. Find a campground nearby or park your rig in the driveway if possible.
One of the best things about full-time RVing is the freedom to go wherever you choose. Why not use that freedom to gather with family at friends for the holidays?
When we really stop to consider everything we're thankful for, a great response is to find ways to give back and help others. Consider spending the day volunteering.
Serving meals at a soup kitchen or shelter is a common way to volunteer on Thanksgiving, but in some areas it's so common that these opportunities are full. There are many other needs and ways to volunteer. Deliver meals through Meals-on-Wheels or a similar local organization. Visit a nursing home or hospital (with permission of course) to help encourage those who are sick or lonely this holiday. Join a "Turkey trot" race to help raise money for a cause that's near to your heart.
Visit www.volunteermatch.org for help in finding the perfect volunteer opportunity for you and your family on Thanksgiving.
An Educational Celebration
If you are spending the Thanksgiving season teaching your kids about the history of the holiday and early American history in general, you can cap it off with a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in the place where (according to tradition) it all happened: Plimoth Plantation. More than just a meal, Thanksgiving dinner at this Plymouth, Massachusetts living history museum involves Pilgrim role players and Native interpreters. The event sells out quickly, so plan ahead to enjoy this unique experience.
You might also enjoy a Thanksgiving reenactment at the Virginia Thanksgiving Festival, hosted by the Berkeley Plantation. This reenactment is held every year on the first Sunday of November at the site where they argue the first English Thanksgiving dinner happened, in 1619, a year before the Mayflower pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. The event features tribal dancing, a parade, and period games, music and crafts.
If these Thanksgiving events are out of reach, remember to take the opportunity to read books about the history of Thanksgiving, both fiction and nonfiction, watch a documentary, or write in a gratitude journal. There are many natural educational opportunities all around us at this time of year!
Opt Outside
The day after Thanksgiving, commonly known as "Black Friday," has become synonymous with big sales and shopping. Instead of asking employees to work all night to open their doors at 4AM, however, some stores are closing their doors altogether and asking their employees to "Opt Outside".
They are encouraging other Americans to do the same. After a day of feasting, let's trade retail therapy for nature therapy and get some exercise and fresh air. Spread the word in social media and tag your posts #optoutside.
Have a wonderful holiday celebration, surrounded by loved ones, new and old, doing whatever brings you joy. Happy Thanksgiving!

We all agree that not everyone shows their age to the same degree. The environment, stress, diet, medication, illness, heredity and lifestyle are considered defining factors. However, we also know of areas of the world where inhabitants seem to remain ageless and actively contributing in society well beyond the norm.
Expeditions to China and Ecuador's rain forest by Betty Mahan, an Educator and Dr. K. Sotomayor of The Research Group, located rare and exotic herbs used in the Anti-Aging Wrap solution. Although the formula is a secret, we can tell you the contents include certain key elements already proven successful in other Suddenly Slender Inc. products plus bio-essences from the new imported herbs.
The challenge and breakthrough came from developing new technologies that maintain over two dozen separate ingredients that are fully active, compatible and in perfect combination in the solution. The long awaited result is the most invigorating, healthful, anti-aging process in the world today. The wrapping process remains the same with all the active stand up wraps, regardless of the solution type. The client is measured and wrapped. After an hour of light exercise with solution reapplied every 30 minutes, the client is re-measured.
Look 10-30 inches slimmer in 1 hour...Guaranteed!

Don't let short-term volatility detract from your long-term plans
Abraham Lincoln said, "Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most." Alas, investors have indicated in recent weeks that what they want now is safety. From the beginning of May through the end of the first week in June, investors withdrew $36 billion from equity funds and poured $32 billion into bond strategies.1 Admittedly, it would be irresponsible of me to render an opinion on these investors' all-too-predictable reactions to the recent news flow and market gyrations. I would need to better understand what each of them and their families want most.
If what they truly want most is to avoid all market drawdowns at any cost, then they probably wouldn't have been invested in equities to start. I'm willing to speculate that many of these equity-selling investors had been targeting growth in their portfolios to fund the things they really want most: to finance their children's education, to support and enhance their children's true skills, to fund philanthropic efforts, to build comfortable lifestyles in retirement, and more.
If that's the case, then in recent weeks many families have likely been breaking from their long-term plans because of a few bad trade headlines. That's unfortunate for a few reasons.
Three reasons to maintain a long-term view
First, in the first 11 trading days of June, the market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, was up 5.11%.2 May's price losses have almost entirely been recouped, at least for those investors who stuck around for the near-term recovery. This should come as little surprise to investors. Historically, the best days and weeks in the market (example, June 2019) have tended to group with the worst days and weeks in the market (example, May 2019), making it a fool's errand to attempt to time the market.
Second, markets have tended to perform well after peak redemptions. Typically, by the time most investors attempt to get defensive, it is often too late. Case in point, the average one-year S&P 500 Index gain following peak equity fund redemptions after the 1987 crash, the early 1990s recession, the 1998 Asian currency crisis, the early 2000s recession, and the 2008 financial crisis is 21.7%.3
Markets have tended to perform well after peak redemptions
Source: FactSet Research Systems. Peak redemption months for equity flows are 10/31/87, 10/31/90, 8/31/98, 7/31/02, and 10/31/08. All returns are total return and calculated cumulatively on a monthly basis. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Third, a primary underpinning of this elongated cycle has been accommodative monetary policy by the world's central banks, designed to reflate the economy and global financial markets. I believe the ongoing "trade war" and May's coincident tightening of financial conditions likely serves to extend the Federal Reserve's more-dovish monetary policy stance indefinitely, thereby likely extending the cycle. Already this is the longest cycle on record dating back to 1854 (when Lincoln began his failed Senate campaign). To call it the "unloved cycle" may be understatement. Each passing year has brought yet another event that worries investors — European debt crisis, fiscal cliffs, debt ceiling debates, elections, Brexit, and more — only for markets to reach new heights. The same US macroeconomic backdrop of slow growth, benign inflation, and accommodative monetary policy that propelled markets higher to this point has not changed.
Define what you want most from your portfolio
I believe investors would be well-served to define what they want most. They should work with their financial advisors to define the purposes of their money, to articulate their missions, and to allocate their capital in manners that are aligned with their well-articulated long-term goals.
If investors are truly targeting growth in their portfolios, then they should be prepared to cope with inevitable gyrations in the market and not break from their well-structured plans. Or as Lincoln said, "Be sure to put your feet in the right place, then stand firm."

Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich are pushing to have two northern New Mexico sites designated as public wilderness areas.
"The Rio San Antonio sits 200 feet below a plateau and creates a unique riparian area and amazing recreational opportunities that boost the local economy," said Sen. Udall.
Senator Udall addressed the Senate Wednesday making a case for why the areas around Ute Mountain and the Rio Grande del Norte deserve environmental protections.
The proposal is part of a bill introduced in the Senate last month, which would expand wilderness preservation and improve public lands across the United States.
