Bitcoin repeats gold-standard errors
I cannot judge whether bitcoin represents a technological breakthrough, but I am confident that the pseudo-currency's popularity shows widespread economic amnesia. If bitcoin ever became a real currency, it would suffer from the crippling problems of the gold standard.
The underlying problem is the belief that the electronic token's independence from the government is a good thing. This libertarian notion could hardly be more wrong. Money is a common good for the whole society, and in the contemporary world governments are the pre-eminent social guardians.
It is true that under dire circumstances people might have to resort to an inferior monetary substitute. If a government collapsed or totally trashed the monetary system, then some privately issued money could be the least bad alternative. In such apocalyptic times, though, a software protocol which relies on secure electronic communications would not be first choice. Gold, which is tangible and not subject to hacking, is more plausible. So are old baseball cards.
But for the sake of argument, assume that bitcoin or something like it did actually become the leading currency in a monetary dystopia. People would learn soon enough why non-government money works badly.
Deflation is an obvious issue. Price declines are inevitable when a finite supply of bitcoin money, a feature of the software, meets an expanding supply of purchased goods and services. That would be uncomfortable. Consumers might delay purchases as they wait for prices to fall, workers might chafe at regular annual wage cuts, and creditors would be even worse off.
But in itself, deflation does not discredit non-government money. People and banks could adjust to the new monetary reality, as the Japanese have to the country's 0.3 percent average annual decline in consumer prices since 1998. Alternatively, a different non-deflationary electronic currency could be created; one which added steadily to the supply of money. If the addition was in line with GDP growth, prices and wages could be roughly flat in normal times.
Yet times are not always normal, and neither bitcoin nor some putative "growcoin" – nor any sort of limited-supply money – can cope with unexpected bad news. Historians of money know the story well. Before governments started to issue money purely by fiat, the supply of money was limited by the supply of gold or silver, supplemented by public or private notes which were theoretically backed by some valuable asset. Whenever people decided to hoard their hard currency and reject paper notes, there was trouble.
The spur to the monetary fear might be war, crop failure or a bust financial institution. Whatever the cause, the sudden increase in caution automatically created a sudden decrease in the money for spending. The economic theorists of hard money said that wages and prices would also fall automatically, so the shrunken supply of currency would still be adequate to keep the economy running. In practice, the adjustment was always much too slow. Goods became unaffordable, unemployment rose and production fell.
John Maynard Keynes called it the paradox of thrift. The British economist was analysing the Great Depression of the 1930s, the last big money-prodded general decline. Keynes taught, and the world learned, that governments could and should counter bad news by ensuring that there was always enough money available to keep spending constant.
As the slow recovery from the 2008 recession shows, the policies haven't always worked perfectly. But they could not work at all in a bitcoin economy, because there would be no authority which could decide how much new money to print. Indeed, the knowledge that governments could not create new bitcoins in a crisis would only increase thrift. Just as in the 19th century, a little bit of bad news would spawn a large economic crisis.
The problem would be worse now than then, because the economy relies so much more on bank-created credit. Whether banks use dollars, euros or bitcoins, they lend out most of their deposits. The loans increase the supply of spendable money, because the loaned sum is added to the total while the deposits which fund the loans are not subtracted.
The arrangement is always potentially unstable. If the borrowers cannot repay too many of the loans or if depositors want to withdraw their money too fast, the bank may fall short of funds. A failure, and an ensuing panic, can only be avoided if banks can find cash elsewhere.
The ultimate "elsewhere" is always the government, which can create new funds out of thin air. Government rescues are not ideal, but better than any known alternative. In a bitcoin or growcoin world, the government would have nothing to offer. Frequent bank runs and financial panics would be unavoidable.
Charitably, the popular interest in bitcoin can be interpreted as a sign of ignorance of economic history. More realistically, it is a sad statement of a loss of faith in a monetary system which has not worked as well as promised. Unfortunately, bitcoin is no more than a high-tech version of an even worse system.

Well written and thought out. However, please allow me some remarks:
1) Notwithstanding its great quality, your post takes another 'either or' perspective. I would rather welcome a post that theorizes on a world where both bitcoin and national currencies co-exist. Is this really impossible? What has to be done to create a win-win situation?
2) You are certainly right in saying that it is better for the ecomomy to have a flexible money supply. But should the state of an economy really be the single most important measure for humankind? Who is the better human: the one who goes shopping to keep the economy going or the one who tries to save our natural resources for our children?
Thanks for your opinion in advance

So, your solution to having printed too much money is to let "the government" print even more money.
I don't buy it.
Creating money from thin air does not produce wealth, rather, it robs savers and discourages investment into production capacity.
When Bitcoin prevails, the ability for the central bankers to enrich themselves and their chosen few (cronies) by running the proverbial printing presses will be gone. That's what originally attracted me to Bitcoin.
Your entire rant sounds like a contrived fear tactic to me. For example, if gold is so bad, why do central banks own so much of it? Sounds hypocritical to me: "We'll trade in gold. You common people use these slips of printed cloth that we're able to devalue…"
It's fun watching Bitcoin demonstrate, in the real world, that the "deflationary spiral" is at best highly exaggerated, and at worst is but a fallacy. Not only do people spend Bitcoin, even though they think it may be worth more in the future, but in fact the entire Bitcoin economy is becoming increasingly dynamic and active since it started.
An objective observer will notice a world of profound growth and innovation… though it runs counter to popular economic doctrine.
It is incumbent for the Edward to research the topic before judging, for it is only what a reasonable person would do.
As Edward points out Bitcoin is deflationary. However, due to not understanding the technology he has not realised a solution has already been presented.
Historical approaches required creating more money, which creates inflation. Bitcoin avoids this pitfall via infinite divisibility. Liquidity is provided without diluting existing holders. This requires most economists to "think outside the square". Please do so.
It does no credit to Edward that money printing has widened the Gini coefficient the world over. Debt based fiat is an imperfect solution. It awards seniority over meritocracy, on a permanent basis.
It is sad that economists comment on the supposed ignorance of others from a position of ignorance themselves.
Ok lets get started. Even though I have the flu today, and am not feeling well physically, I can still return to refute almost all of this hogwash written by someone who obviously does not know anything about Bitcoin. The gold standard was an error ? What planet are you on ? Tricky Dick Nixon took away the gold standard from The American Dollars, I remember the day it happened. It was the worst mistake in a slew of governmental errors, including running up an 18 Trillion dollar debt on the country's charge card, and starting a completely useless, Trillion Dollar War in Iraq, while borrowing more money from China, to name a few. ( There's more. ) A 1 dollar bill costs the same to print as a 100 dollar bill. ( It's an assigned value ) What exactly is backing the US fiat dollars now ? The answer is simple trust and the ability to borrow. How is an 18 trillion dollar deficit a tangible asset ? ? ? Does inflation exist in your little governmental office ? Talk to the people of Greece about how stable their fiat dollars became recently. The gold standard was " crippling ? " If you people at Reuters actually believe the nonsense in this article above, it's time to stop hiring these bank oriented hacks, to describe malarky. ( I work for free. )
All the " policies " from 2008 worked perfectly ? Sure, banks and corporations that were " Too Big To Fail " got huge bail outs. Sure that would work, then why don't you tell me why the FDIC still has NOT ENOUGH MONEY for large scale bank failures ? What's to stop another housing bubble from happening ? I watched while mortgage companies bet on mortgages one month, and one month later, bet against them. Are there any " policies " to prevent that from happening again ?? What Keynes did, was give the government the ability to write a blank check, and fill out the value later. This was a mistake of utmost proportion, and it is the reason we now have a 'buy now and pay later' society.
He is not incorrect. Bitcoin was designed to be deflationary. It was also designed not to be the primary currency, but a supplementary currency to serve as a hedge against too much loss of value in government-regulated fiat currencies. It's an experiment that will run for as long as people have faith in it, and in a way, it's a pure 'free market' experiment.
Some alternative coins, like PPCoin, are designed to inflate at a moderate pace of approximately 1 percent per year, and without a cap on the total.
You logic is sound. Governments (central banks) can do ill with money supply but they can also help the economy. However, you swim upstream in the timing of your article. The pain of 2008 is still fresh in everyone's minds, bitcoin prices are at an all time high and the day after your last article that 'no-one accepts bitcoin' Overstock.com (Amazon subsidiary) announced it would accept bitcoin.
Your article ignores something else with fiat money supply. When the banks extend further loans without further deposits (fractional lending) they seemingly extend the credit to the ultra-credit worthy only – i.e. the 0.1% and the corporation that made them so. With the hypothetical situation of bitcoin as the international currency there may be less wealth in total but there there will not be a natural perpetuation of the 0.1% super rich.
This article starts off with saying that he can't judge whether Bitcoin represents a technological breakthrough. You cannot evaluate Bitcoin is you don't understand the breakthrough which is a decentralized consensus system. While Bitcoin can be used to achieve some political goals, like the Internet, it is not a political thing, it is a software tool that can be used for many purposes. You also discuss Bitcoin as an either/or scenario but it will be a choice among many things. Banks, currencies, and governments won't collapse simply because Bitcoin exists. discussing a world where Bitcoin is a dominant currency is an interesting discussion but it has to be taken in the context of the technological advance that it provides.
At last, after a night of pure physical sickness, I have come back to put the cigar in the mouth of this wooden indian here, by saying ; " The people who own Bitcoins are scattered throughout the world. They come from all walks of life, some rich, some not so rich, some from China, some from Europe, some from South America, and some are Americans. To say that all these people are ' anti – government ' is purely ridiculous."

Without government backing how could bitcoins be anything more than the token currency you occasionally hear about among small town merchants?
What about the question of counterfeiting? It might be easy for people who know the ins and outs of computer technology and programing?
"I cannot judge whether bitcoin represents a technological breakthrough"
And that is the first fail, which is why you came to the wrong conclusion. A proper examination of the protocol will have revealed to you that liquidity problems associated with hard money can be resolved. How? Read the paper and do some RESEARCH.
I agree with blaqfather above.
In addition:
a) I think the currency aspect of BTC is best seen as a commodity exchange. The BTC codes are like prime numbers in the sense that they are there to be discovered.
b) A financial infrastructure based on BTC (read commodity) will eventually lead to a trust model anyway. People will not be keeping their lifes savings on a flash disk. Secure datacenters will be banks, much as today's retail banks are just dressed up secure datacenters.
c) BTC therefore presents the *opportunity* to actually return to a gold standard, and central banks should look to BTC, or cryptocurrency, as an alternative to SDR in a global banking union, because a return to physical gold is not feasible.
d) Finally, BTC is not just a currency. It is also a settlement system. It is also an escrow system. It offers the ability to tie together exchange of promises with exchange of currency using multi-party cryptography instead of trust.
Fiat money is controlled by the shadow government. The central bank's devaluation of my US dollar asset by trillions every year will come to an end when I insist in keeping my cash reserves in crypto coin. The crypto coin market will stabilize, it continues to grow day after day. That we remove bankers from the world is a very good thing.
When people realize that they can get paid in crypto coin instead of a constantly devalued dollar, the US dollar will be a dead man walking.
@USCitizentoo – Why should crypto coin be any more stable than a government backed currency? The value of the bitcoin still has to be compared to the mainstream currency and there isn't much reason why they shouldn't move together? Prices don't depend on what they are paid in?
1) Crypto coin cannot be devalued by a central bank single authority. Did you vote to have the US dollar devalued by trillions yearly? I didn't. Therefore by that measure alone it is more stable. (2) The value of a crypto coin is directly proportional to it's utility. In that regard crytpo coin has far more utility than a paper dollar bill. For example a crypto coin has a public ledger (accountability), and can be traded anywhere without restrictions by governments or banks (accessibility). (3) Crypto coin is a new paradigm. There can be no explanation of it in the old paradigms. It is simply the democratization of money.
The internet is global, bitcoins are on the internet. There is not much more to say about why it is not just a token currency heard among small town merchants. Overstock.com is accepting bitcoins, eBay, Amazon, and Google are soon to follow.
Your questions regarding the counterfeiting are not unfounded. However, even knowing the ins and outs of computer technology and programming, that will not help a hacker create their own bitcoins. The protocol is based on a public ledger which has record of every bitcoin in existence. The only way for a criminal to obtain bitcoins is by hacking into your account which is no different from a bank robber holding a bank at gunpoint.
Netizens seem to think Bitcoin can be both investment and currency, but by doing so it becomes neither. Why was gold a currency for so long? Because it was uncommon and had a fixed price. If Bitcoin was to be a serious currency, it should have had its value set to the average of a basket of currencies. Right now Bitcoin remains merely a curiosity with no intrinsic value.
Gold had a fixed price? It's somehow misleading – while golden coin almost supposedly always cost it's weight in gold, from our 'fiat' POV 'value' of that coin fluctuated a lot as prices were not fixed. Notion of 'eternal' value compared to current money was from generally lower speed of economics these times – and that foreign-minted coins were as good as local ones (though since High Middle Ages governments took trouble to lower usage of foreign ones).
As for inflation – did you ever heard words 'debased coin'? Gov'ts in trouble added other -cheaper- metals like silver etc.
BTW silver was used for lesser-value coins and it's funny to note that 'Groschen' coin went from "Denarius Grossus" with very high value to current derigatory word meaning "coin of smallest value possible" ('cept Poland where it IS coin of lowest denomination,'grosz').
@chyron "Gold had a fixed price?"
Yes, $35 an ounce for a long time; research "Bretton Woods system." The actual price could not vary much because one needed to find a large deposit and extract it before the supply of gold could increase; this took time.
This stands in stark contrast to Bitcoin which has doubled or halved in price in a single day, but you and the other Bitcoiners continue to bleat about deflation / debasement. I'll take deflation / debasement over halving any day. And yes, gold has skyrocketed in price, but never to the extent that Bitcoin did and only because of shills like Glenn Beck.
Not to mention how hackers have created bots to "mine" Bitcoins. Yeah, that's real stable.
Bretton-Wood was other way around – it was USD with fixed value of 1/35 ounce of gold and was figue leaf over pushing USD as THE international money.
Afair it was doomed the moment France and others offered USA to exchange their (french and german) USDs for gold.
Since the big depression 1930 the economical system has changed. The balance between sellers and buyers has changed as well. Nowadays huge corporations dominate the markets counting on the dependency of their customers. Some of these bigger sellers certainly have a good time during a period of deflation.
Currencies are not declared.
Bitcoin is not independent of government. That is a myth.
An article based on a rare event "monetary dystopia" can only describe a rare outcome.
Governments are hardly social guardians. That's the perception of someone in Govt.
Gold can be easily hacked. Just cook the books on a gold EFT and there you go…
Bitcoin has no borders, no central authority. Bitcoin lets anyone make their own deposits and withdrawals into their own backed up wallet, sans fees or tellers.
The world has many currencies. Bitcoin is ideal as a world currency living and breathing in the multi-billion member social networks.
But, most of all, its software. The most relevant question was neither mentioned or addressed in the article. All software evolves. What is Bitcoin going to become? that is the relevant question.
In my humble opinion, establishment bootlickers are very hostile to bitcoin because it doesn't yet give them an opportunity to manipulate the money supply. The existing system is good for corrupt people because the Fed can dole out massive sums of money to favored banks first.
I don't find the author's argument, what little of it that exists, convincing at all. Governments are ostensibly the pre-eminent social guardians, but in reality is the most destructive organization that currently exists.
Usually appreciate Hadas intellectual rigor. Appears he's talking to something different this time.
"I cannot judge whether bitcoin represents a technological breakthrough"
Very first sentence therefore disqualifies you from any further definitive statements. To wit: I cannot judge whether the wheel represents a technological breakthrough as I can easily run faster over these rocks than I can push this stupid wagon I made.
"but I am confident that the pseudo-currency's popularity shows widespread economic amnesia. If bitcoin ever became a real currency, it would suffer from the crippling problems of the gold standard."
It's impossible to be confident in any rational sense of what WILL happen in the future – yes, even death and taxes. That is simply fact. By saying otherwise does not make it so. Innovation is about true intellectual curiosity and the foundation of innovation is intellectual open-mindedness and passion for fixing what is broken.
Clearly, the current model is broken. Go innovators. Make the world a better place as usual.
What follows in Hadas's narrative is just absurd in terms of cogent logic. Just a sample:
"The ultimate "elsewhere" is always the government, which can create new funds out of thin air."
Nothing is ever 'always'. And it's obviously absurd to posit that governments can 'always' create new funds out of thin air. Hadas states this as fact to somehow claim as truth in support of an argument. Governments clearly CANNOT always do anything if those governed decide otherwise. Who's ignoring history?
"Government rescues are not ideal, but better than any known alternative."
Really? Not intellectually rigorous. Or thoughtful. Or even true. How about functional government where society-crushing 'rescues' are even needed. Come on. Where's the rigor?
"In a bitcoin or growcoin world, the government would have nothing to offer. Frequent bank runs and financial panics would be unavoidable."
God. No need to say anything here. See above logic.
"Charitably, the popular interest in bitcoin can be interpreted as a sign of ignorance of economic history."
Charitably this is absurd. 'Can be interpreted as a' parakeet too. More opinion proffered as fact. Not fact. Only intellectually honest statement, I don't know what will become of bit whatever coin, but it's considerably more fair to state that fiat 'coins' will eventually fail. Simply because THEY ALWAYS HAVE for basically the same reasons. And not because of 'crops'. Math is fact. Not opinion disingenuously representing itself as the 'popular interest'.
"More realistically, it is a sad statement of a loss of faith in a monetary system which has not worked as well as promised."
Sad? It's called a market. It's called the collective free will of thinking people. Please. Rigor.
"Unfortunately, bitcoin is no more than a high-tech version of an even worse system."
Yea. Just like the wheel.
Edward, you quite aptly make the argument from the standard positions, however it is one that makes sense only in a society committed to arbitrary value being ascribed to any individual human being and inherent inequality in the weighting of value. such philosophy and position affects any means of currency, whether wampum shells, shillings, gold, bit coin, unicorn eyelashes, etc.
I would like to raise a question – if the demurrage currency of Silvio Gesell and others could work as a digital currency.
What's wrong with competition from BitCoin that makes transactions cheaper? Isn't that the nature of the capitalistic market? The problem with this article is that it assumes that BitCoin is going to take over the world – it's not. But crypto currency is going to change the world. There might be a future crypto currency that evolves from BitCoin into an ideal, but we're not there yet. Interest in BitCoin is hardly 'a sign of ignorance' – rather an article judging something new which disturbs the current world order as a complete replacement of modern currency – that's definitely a sign of ignorance.
While the article raises valid points, I don't think there will ever be a "bitcoin economy". The dollar and other fiat currencies aren't going away.
For that reason, I don't think bitcoin should be compared to existing state managed currency. It should be compared to other "fixed" commodities like gold. Gold fluctuates, but in the long run it only goes up in price compared to fiat currencies. This is because all currencies experience inflation caused by a steady introduction of new money.
I think electronic currencies (there are many) will be used for trading where electronic transactions present a problem. The obvious example are criminal enterprises, tax evasion, and money laundering. But not everything is sinister even in that category. Say the Red Cross wants to send money to a children's hospital in North Korea. Banking transactions are monitored and will be seized by their government. So they might use bitcoin instead. Government is not always the good guy.
The gold standard was an error ? What planet are you on ? Tricky Dick Nixon took away the gold standard from The American Dollars, I remember the day it happened.
You don't remember leaving the gold standard unless you're at least ninety years old. What the U.S. left during the Nixon Administration was the gold window, which operated for purpose of the foreign exchange markets, not the domestic economy.

I live in Russia. In my city homophobes have beaten my friends of gays, they did not hide sexual orientation. One of them – now in hospital in very unhealthy condition. The qualified medical aid in a civilized country is very necessary for him. The police does nothing. Money resources are necessary for medical restoration of my friends and their legal protection. I have decided to ask the help in the country which has presented mankind democracy and tolerance. To find the help and sympathy in Russia could not.

Dice-K shows what's up: Matsuzaka dazzles in first live hitters stint (Jeff Horrigan, February 25, 2007, Boston Herald)
It seemed to matter little to Daisuke Matsuzaka that catcher Jason Varitek was telling hitters which pitch was about to be thrown yesterday when the Red Sox' newest star threw to batters for the first time since coming from the Seibu Lions.
As is the case in all live batting practice sessions, the catcher tipped off Jacoby Ellsbury, Kevin Cash, Bobby Scales and Luis Jimenez on whether Matsuzaka was to throw a fastball, curveball, slider or changeup.
For the most part, the youngsters still couldn't get a bat on the ball. [...]
Matsuzaka threw 44 pitches, including 20 out of the stretch and two pitchouts, and only had two hit well. Cash lined a fastball off the left-center field wall on a hop, while Ellsbury lashed an opposite-field hit down the left field line on a changeup.
"The thing I noticed most was his slider," Ellsbury said. "I knew it was coming and I still missed by six inches."
We remain dubious that he is really going to maintain above-average velocity into the late innings, but if you've seen film of him pitching it's the ability to throw that filthy slider and the screwball or change or whatever the pitch is that he makes break in the opposite direction that makes it seem likely he can succeed at this level. Posted by Orrin Judd at February 25, 2007 7:35 AM
Well, we was facing Sawx hitters, er, batters. Too bad that won't be the case when it matters.
Toolbelt-wise, the kid is Satchel Paige. What a pleasure it will be to watch him out-think the overpaid millionaire set.Posted by: Palmcroft at February 25, 2007 1:11 PM
I must admit that I'm looking forward to seeing him pitch. It seems to be the change too, much more than the slider, that will be the key to his success or not.
Apparently it was the change that convinced the Sawx to shell out the 55 mil for him. It reminded them of Pedro.
And it's not the break on the change, but the fact that it looks exactly like his fastball coming out of his hand, and yet has a msssive separation in speed, that is the key.
I will point out tho, per Raouil above, that it wasn't just that he was facing Sawx hitters, but that he was facing minorleaguers, only one of whom -- Ellsburry -- is ever likely to be a major leaguer (and Ellsbury hit him hard of course) that is notable.
Doesn't speak much for the Sawx confidence necessarily that they couldn't put 1 major leaguer in against him. Instead they created a show for the NESN/Globe circus, and made it almost a cinch that the kid would look great.
Meanwhile Phil Hughes faced Giambi, Matsui -- lefties no less -- and several other big league hitters in his first bp stint with the Yanks. And wowed them.Posted by: Jim in Chicago at February 25, 2007 2:38 PM

Teatro delle Maschere at Puppet Showplace Theatre: Stacey Polishook as Columbina, Eric Bornstein as Il Dottore, Ian Thal as Arlecchino. All photography by Cherie Konyha Greene
This is the photo of the troupe, and I stress troupe, while they are not the only ones involved (Jonathan Samson made a notable contribution over a period of only three days), Stacey and Eric have been my primary collaborators for since late August when we decided to create a new commedia dell'arte troupe, and I think we've created something special (sadly, Stacey is going is soon to be leaving to study abroad for a few months.)
What I really want to show you, however, is my new Arlecchino costume made by Cherie Konyha Greene. Some of you might recall my musing that I might need a new clothing for the hungry zanni who was always appearing in my kitchen when polenta served. Cherie immediately volunteered and we started sharing costume ideas. In dressing Arlecchino we wanted to factor in something closely resembling what an actual peasant of the Italian renaissance might have worn, and so we decided to start with the peasants seen in Francesco del Cossa's (ca. 1430- ca.1477 or 1487) fresco The Allegory of March or Triumph of Minerva:
From there, I wanted something distinctive that would identify the costume as my Arlecchino. I got the idea of replacing the traditional diamond or triangle patterns with squares, while substituting the regularity with asymmetrical and overlapping patterns, drawing inspiration from Piet Mondrian:
Or Theo van Doesburg:
I gave Cherie some sketches and the results were this:
And from behind:
So spanning five centuries of art history!

Post by Whitney Heckathorne, Marketing Manager
Do you cover your ears when commercials blare on TV? Do you reach for your remote to turn down the commercials before they even start? Do you find yourself shrieking "TURN THAT DOWN!" during every commercial segment? (And is your shouting even louder than the commercial itself?) Well friends, you're not crazy and you're not alone.
Earlier this year, The Harris Poll partnered with AdweekMedia to find out:
- If America thinks commercials are louder than the show; and,
- If the loud commercials are bothersome.
And it's no surprise that the answer is "yes" to both questions. However, the part that made me blink twice is the fact that such great numbers of Americans say it bothers them—93 percent! (If only we could get this kind of agreement on health care, right?)
Well, this annoyance certainly hasn't gone unnoticed; back in December, the House of Representatives passed the Commercial Advertising Loudness Mitigation Act (the CALM Act, for short—cute, huh?) to make it so the volume in commercials cannot be any louder than the volume in the corresponding TV program. The legislation still has to pass through the Senate, but I know I already feel more CALM knowing something is being done.
So you might be asking yourself—WHO turns up the volume on these commercials? This clip is from CBS's Early Show back in December—take a look and find out.

Re: Converting RC Disel engine to Sterling power cool piston
Lee, you should have no trouble using that cylinder, you may need to lap/polish the piston a little, it should just slide through the cylinder under its own weight, and stop when the end of the cylinder is blocked off. I presume you will take the counter piston out, and feed in via the compression screw hole. There may be wear in the bottom part of the cylinder compared to the top where the counter piston was.

My dearest Lily will shortly be turning 5 (holey cow!) and has shown the cutest interest in helping me with household chores. I honestly think she would get a kick out of having her own responsibilities and would definitely take a lot of pride in it. She so wants to be a little mommy! So that got me thinking that she might be ready for some assigned chores of her own to do on a daily basis. Obviously nothing too strenuous for her little body, but enough for her to have fun and learn what responsibility is about. I sat down one night and created this cute little chore chart just for her. I tried to keep it sweet, simple and easy for her to use and be something that would be pleasing to her big inquisitive eyes. And of course, I thought I should share it with my readers.
There are 2 versions, the one I made for Lily and a second that can be for multiple children or be more of a gender neutral. Oh and it is personalized, but I would still love to share it with you. So please just drop me an email with your child's name, the list of chores you would like on it and any color changes you desire. I will email you back with your FREE customized little bean chore chart for you to print! Email email@example.com
Instructions: tape on fridge, wall or kitchen cupboard and use colorful pencil crayons to scribble in each flower or happy face when the chores get done! Easy shmeezy!

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT: Track Testing!
June 27, 2008
Last time our 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT was at a track, James posted a video of me 'hot' lapping it, full of equipment, around a shortened version of the Streets of Willow. This time, though, we've done things the right way. We ditched the cones and the water bottles, attached test equipment, and fitted the driver's seat with one of our professional test drivers.
And drive they did! Full results of our track testing after the jump.
0-30: 3.2
0-45: 5.5
0-60: 8.8 (0-60 with a rollout, like a drag strip -- so more aptly, rolling - 60: 8.4 sec.)
0-75: 13.5
1/4-mile: 16.6 @ 83.4 mph
Comments: Some wheel spin from standstill and the steering tugs a little. Gears 1-3 keep the engine on the boil, but 4th is a bottomless pit- dropping revs @ 2,000 rpm.
60-0: 133 feet
30-0: 33 feet.
Comments: Consistently squishy pedal with multi-threshold feel. Plenty of dive and the rear gets awfully light / skittish, ABS is noticeably attempting to distribute brake force.
Handling: (ever the forte of the minivan)
Skidpad: .70 G
Comments: Lots of roll -- so much in fact that the inside front tire comes off the ground (especially in clockwise direction). Steering remains light despite load.
Slalom: 57.9 MPH
Comments: ESP shuts off completely. Steering is slow off center and body motions are too. Light steering is a good thing here, and it's usably precise. Quick turn-in for such a large minivan.
As tested weight: 4,750 lbs

Fantastic Beasts takes place 70 years before the events of Harry Potter, with Oscar winner Redmayne as magizoologist Scamander in the central role.
Scamander's travels around New York with pal Jacob (Dan Fogler) see him cross paths with the wizard Graves (Colin Farrell) and other supernatural forces.
The project has been largely kept under wraps, so little is known about Katherine Waterston, Ron Perlman, Ezra Miller and Samantha Morton's characters.
JK Rowling has penned the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts, which reunites her with Harry Potter franchise director David Yates – who helmed the final four films in the franchise.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits cinemas on on November 18, 2016 in the US and the UK.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Could my shoulder be dislocated? "
I have had pain in my shoulder for almost two weeks now. I can move it but it feels heavy and it eases it when I raise it. My shoulder blade muscles and the musle from my neck to the top of my shoulder feel pulled and the back muscle also spasms. It's really painful most of the time but sometimes here recently it goes away for a while. My shoulder also pops sometimes. My upper arm musles also hurt but not as bad as they did when it first started.
Shoulder pain can usually be pretty tricky to diagnose because of the complicated nature of the shoulder joint. I recommend that you contact your physician. For the sake of explanation, I will explain the shoulder joint anatomy. The shoulder joint itself can be thought of as a horizontal 'ball and socket' configuration similar to a golf ball sitting on a golf tee (socket). The golf ball is formed by the head of the arm (humerus), while the socket is formed by the glenoid (which is connected to your shoulder blade. As with a golf tee, the glenoid is fairly shallow, and hence shoulder stability (i.e. ball stays on the socket) depends on several mechanisms. Firstly, there is a soft tissue lip that lines the rim of the glenoid (called the labrum), which essentially deepens the glenoid, allowing for greater stability. Secondly, the rotator cuff muscles are a group of four muscles that surround the shoulder joint, and are responsible for stabilizing the shoulder (imagine rotator cuff as four rubber bands that tie the gold ball to the tee) and for shoulder movement. Traditionally, the 'shoulder' can also include some of the larger muscles that also surround the shoulder joint, including the deltoid and the trapezius muscles. That said, dislocation represents the humeral head (golf ball) shifting completely off of the glenoid (tee). In this case, often shoulder movement at all is prevented, and the arm is usually held pretty strictly at the side of your body due to pain and a physical inability to to move the shoulder joint. Often an easy clinical way to see if your shoulder is dislocated is the ability of that same hand to touch the opposite shoulder; that is, if you can touch your Left shoulder with your Right hand, then your Right shoulder is likely not dislocated. I suspect that since you can move your shoulder, your shoulder is likely not dislocated. Injury to the shoulder, then, can be due to tearing of your labrum or injury to your rotator cuff muscles, which can feel like popping. If these conditions apply to you or someone you know, please contact your physician or call 911 in cases of emergency.

It's been years since I last maintained a personal website. Why? Sadly, because of the rise of social media, and content walled-gardens. A few weeks ago, I discovered Known, a new, open source CMS. Known acts as more than just a CMS, enabling users to create a single site that captures all of their content from social media and walled-gardens like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
Known was born out of the IndieWeb movement, which focuses on resurrecting the web of the past, where your content is owned by you, not by an ad-driven corporation. The IndieWeb crew have developed a series of standards and specifications to encourage what they call POSSE, or Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere.
Surprise, It's Markdown!
This site that you are reading right now is created with Known, and fully supports IndieWeb standards like Micropub. In fact, this very post was created in Editorial for iOS and published via Micropub to this site via two workflows.
The Future is Open and Bright
I am thoroughly enjoying being able to microblog, create long form posts, share photos, and otherwise participate in the open web again, while maintaining my ownership over my own content in a single, canonical, self-managed site on my own domain.
The future of the open web is looking up!

New Delhi: After much dilly-dallying, the Sports Ministry has included Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa in the TOP scheme, putting an end to the controversy surrounding the doubles duo's complaint of bias against the Ministry and chief national coach Pullela Gopichand.
Besides Jwala and Ashwini, the men's doubles pair of Sumeeth Reddy and Manu Atri, ranked 21st in the world, have also been included in the scheme.
"Badminton players Jwala Gutta, Ashwini Ponnappa, Sumeeth Reddy and Manu Atri have been selected under the TOP Scheme," the Ministry said in a release.
"These players are entitled to receive funding from NSDF for training and competition in preparation for Rio Olympics 2016," it added.
Renowned Malaysian doubles coach Kim Tan Her was also roped in by Badminton Association of India (BAI), giving him a five-year contract in July.
The Ministry said that the doubles players can now chalk out their plans for the preparation of next year's Olympic Games to be held in Rio de Janeiro.
"In a communication sent to these players, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has asked them to start making their training plan in consultation with the Chief Coach of Doubles and list out their requirements," the Ministry said.
Six shuttlers -- London Olympics bronze-medallist Saina Nehwal, P V Sindhu, P Kashyap, K Srikanth, Guru Saidutt and H S Prannoy were the first to be included in the TOP scheme in April this year. After that Jwala and Ashwini also had requested for their inclusion in the scheme.
It was only in July that the Sports Ministry decided to include the celebrated doubles pair in the TOP scheme with a ministry official then saying that their names will be part of the next list of athletes.
"I am happy that we have been included now. It will motivate us further and help us better plan our preparation for Olympics," Jwala had said.
"It's unfortunate that we had to fight it out. Nobody wants it that way, I always believed that we deserved that place. There are 70 athletes being supported by the ministry and not to find a place in there was shocking, something we could not digest."
Ever since the six shuttlers were included in TOP scheme, Jwala and Ashwini had repeatedly expressed their displeasure against the Ministry and Gopichand, who is also in the TOP committee, for not including them in the scheme.
Jwala and Ashwini won the 2011 World Championship bronze medal besides winning the Commonwealth Games gold and silver medal in 2010 and 2014 respectively. They have also won the bronze medal at the Uber Cup and Asia Championship last year.
Manu and Sumeeth clinched the Belgian International challenge in Lueven, Belgium last Sunday. They had also won the Lagos International title in July besides reaching the finals of the US Open Grand Prix Gold.

I have a big screen TV in my den, but I also have this big-ass blank wall in my living room that is like 18 feet tall and 14 feet wide, and I kinda wanna project an appropriately big-ass screen onto it. I think that would be cool. What about party games? Or appropriate food? Does anybody have any good formats for a competition to guess the winners? Maybe I should rent one of those movie theater popcorn machines...
Anyway, send your ideas my way!

The meme above refers to the discussion during that debate about the transcripts of numerous speeches that Hilary Clinton gave to the large banks. For each speech, she hauled in at least $225,000. A fair number of observers are asking Hilary to release the transcripts of those speeches. So far, she has refused. She demurred at the New York debate and said that she would release the transcripts if every other candidate that did speeches at big banks would, too.
It is a fair question to ask someone who is running for president: will you release the transcripts of speeches you gave for big banks who happen to have a great deal of influence on public policy? We would like to see if the policy positions you share with the big banks are the same as the policy positions that you shared with us. If those two sets are not congruent, perhaps your unwillingness to share them is a reflection of your fear of what they will do to your campaign. These are all questions we should ask of any candidate for public office, especially the highest office in the land.
To his credit, Bernie Sanders has not given any speeches to the big banks. He simply is not interested in the money, and he has not created entanglements that would compromise his judgement. This is what leaders do.
It was reported that during a recent speech, Hilary Clinton's campaign set up a white noise machine to keep reporters from hearing her speech. From a privacy standpoint, this is a pretty smart thing to do. From a political standpoint, this appears to be an overt effort to obscure from the public, policy positions intended only for a small private group of individuals intending to buy influence. Is that leadership?
When Bernie gives a speech, he makes it loud and clear before large crowds. He wants television coverage for his live events, but has had trouble getting it. The mainstream press has been willing to show an empty stage vacated by Donald Trump instead of showing Bernie Sanders giving a speech to more than 20,000 people in a stadium packed to capacity. He doesn't need a white noise machine because he's a leader who is unafraid of the impact of his message on his campaign.
Hilary voted for the Iraq War. Bernie did not. The vote was 77-23. Bernie was the only independent in the Senate for that vote, led the opposition to the war and voted against it. Hilary voted for it along with 76 other members of the Senate and of them, and there were 29 Democrats and 48 Republicans who voted for it. 21 Democrats voted against it along with one Republican. Those who voted against it did the unpopular thing and were on the right side of history. They were not convinced that there was enough evidence to justify the war. That is leadership.
During that same debate, Hilary Clinton attempted to take the high road on gun control. She talked about Sanders voting 5 times against the Brady Bill for the time limits. She claimed that a significant number of guns from Vermont have made their way to New York. When it was revealed that only 1.2% of the guns the get to New York actually came from Vermont, she was asked why she put out that statement. She demurred again by saying that a lot of guns in New York are from out of state, but never explained her motivation for putting out that statement.
Maybe she's a strong supporter of gun control, but she sure seems to like selling arms to foreign governments with really bad human rights records. Especially when the Clinton Foundation gets a hefty donation from an interested party. I know, this sounds like a plot line from House of Cards. International Business Times has reported that as Secretary of State, Hilary authorized an arms deal worth $29 billion to Saudi Arabia. Two months before the deal was approved, Boeing gave $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation. I guess that cinched the deal.
Saudi Arabia isn't the only country on the shortlist. Mother Jones covered the same issue and has compiled a nice list of 20 countries that are implicated in the same kind of pattern:
The Saudi transaction is just one example of nations and companies that had donated to the Clinton Foundation seeing an increase in arms deals while Hillary Clinton oversaw the State Department. IBT found that between October 2010 and September 2012, State approved $165 billion in commercial arms sales to 20 nations that had donated to the foundation, plus another $151 billion worth of Pentagon-brokered arms deals to 16 of those countries—a 143 percent increase over the same time frame under the Bush Administration. The sales boosted the military power of authoritarian regimes such as Qatar, Algeria, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, which, like Saudi Arabia, had been criticized by the department for human rights abuses.A true leader is willing to thrust policy positions into the spotlight for open debate. A true leader doesn't take a position because it's popular. A leader takes a policy position that he or she believes in and shares it with everyone. And that leader makes every effort to ensure that policy positions are consistent with action and that they are consistent across the board. That is what I see in Bernie Sanders and that is why I support him.

The tricks in the game are too numerous to list, and they take judicious advantage of the discrepancies between inline skating and other devil-may-care sports. The first time my character grabbed a pole and swung around on it, it was so freaking cool that I giggled. You can put those tricks to use on almost any surface you encounter in your travels, in any combo you choose, to create dazzling sets that will earn you beaucoup points.
The multiplayer mode is great for hanging out with a friend or two and talking trash. Usually I hate multiplayer on consoles; the teeny split-screens make me want to throw my controller at the TV. I can never tell which player I am. For some reason I didn't have this problem with AI; the screen was split in half length-wise. And, seeing a monkey on your shoulder while you skate circles around your buddy is just priceless.
Other than the music and some minor menu screen complaints, my only other concern was that I couldn't really tell any difference between the players' stats except for the custom characters whose points I built up myself. Additionally, all the guy characters are profiled in the booklet, but the chick skaters were made up. Also, can someone please explain the Boob Jiggle Technology phenomenon to me? I can appreciate a bouncy rack like anybody else, but until ladies get some equal time in the objectification department, I will not be amused.
In any case, Aggressive Inline is definitely worth every penny. It takes full advantage of the PS2's graphics capabilities and also offers a nearly infinite amount of gaming options that will be sure to tickle your extreme sports fancy.

[Diwan-i-Khas & terrace with Samman Burj on left]. King's Palace, Agra Fort.
Photographer: Unknown
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1880
Photograph showing the Diwan-i-Khas and the Mussaman Burj (at left) at Agra Fort, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1880s, part of the Bellew Collection of Architectural Views. Built by the Emperor Akbar (ruled 1556-1605) between 1565-79, the great red sandstone fort at Agra dominates a bend in the Yamuna river. It is a strong military edifice which is also embellished with fine architecture. Beautiful pavilions and balconies grace terraces overlooking the river. The Diwan-i-Khas or Private Audience Hall was built in 1635 in the Shah Jahan period. It is of white marble decorated with inlay work and carved reliefs. Its facade is made up of five cusped arches and its open colonnades lead to a hall enclosed on three sides. The Mussaman Burj is a fine octagonal balcony, famed as the spot where Shah Jahan supposedly caught a last glimpse of the Taj before he died.
Agra, known to have had a fort since at least the 11th century, rose to prominence in the early 16th century under the Afghan Lodi dynasty of Delhi. It became the Mughal capital in 1526 when Babar (ruled 1526-30) defeated Ibrahim Lodi (ruled 1517-26). The capital later shifted to Delhi under Shah Jahan (ruled 1628-58), who gave Agra its most famous monument, the Taj Mahal.

What's happening here? A peculiar allergy to standing by unpopular Church teachings? a classic exhibition of feet of clay? spines of jello? Pray for our Church leaders. If they spend more time on their knees and pondering God's Word, they may be less impressionable by the grandstanding politicians surrounding them; more concerned with pleasing God than men, filled with the fear of God and less fear of crouching tigers and hidden drag queens.
More of the same from Michael "Jeremiah" Voris doing what he does best: offending all of us with the inconvenient truth, about what he now regularly (and perhaps appropriately?) refers to as "The Church of Nice" or, more interestingly, the "American Patriotic Church" (after the "Chinese Patriotic Church," which, in contrast to the Chinese "Underground Church," accepts state-appointed bishops and goes along to get along with anything that comes down the administrative pipeline from Beijing).

VCN- The Office of the Government has issued a document on the direction of the Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue agreeing with the Ministry of Finance's proposals related to a unified application for regulations on entry border gate in Decision 15/2017 /QD-TTg as well as obstacles in applying to goods sent via postal and express delivery services.
Accordingly, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Finance to specifically guide the implementation, ensure the unified application, remove obstacles in the implementation and achieve management target.
In addition, the Ministry of Finance needs to study and supplement the concept of entry border gate to draft revised the Government's Decree 08/2015/ND-CP providing specific provisions and guidance on enforcement of Customs law on Customs procedures, inspection, supervision, and control, and report to the Government as per regulations.
Previously, during the implementation of Decision 15/QD-TTg, both local businesses and local Customs have encountered problems relating to regulation on "entry border gate"-Is it a place where goods is imported or place of destination on the bill of lading?
The Ministry of Finance proposed a specific explanation of the concept of "entry border gate" in the direction that only allows shipments with the place of destination shown on the bill of lading as seaports and airports to be transferred Customs branch. If the place of destination shown on the bill of lading is an ICD, the Customs branch transfer will not allow.
In particular, "a, For transportation by sea or air, the entry border gate is the place of destination shown on the bill of lading which is seaport or airport (excluding ICD); b, For transportation by railway, the entry border gate is the international railway station where goods arrive; c, For transportation by road or river, the entry border gate is the border gate where goods are imported into the territory of Vietnam.
For buoy, inland waterway and ICD of Phuoc Long Port Co., Ltd and My Dinh ICD: Continuing to follow the guidance of the Prime Minister (recently, the Prime Minister has signed Decision 38/2017/QD-TTg regulating on the Customs branch transfer for imported goods to My Dinh ICD, Ha Noi which takes effect from October 5, 2017- reporter said).
For goods sent via postal or express delivery service, due to lack of legal documents stipulating the post office or express office as the border gate (goods is normally transported by air or road, then transported to post office or express office), there are problems arising when implementing Decision 15/2017/QD-TTg. Specifically, if Customs procedures are implemented at the Border Gate Customs Branch, this will make it difficult for the consignee, affect the business operations of the express enterprises, and raise time and costs.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the characteristics of express and postal goods are small and odd packages, mainly for non-commercial purposes such as Gifts, presents, samples, and goods for production requiring the fast delivery and quick clearance time.
Therefore, the Ministry of Finance proposed that the goods in the list stipulated in Article 1 of Decision 15/2017/QD-TTg including cigarettes, cigars, alcohol, beer, goods subject to animal quarantine, aquatic quarantine or phytosanitary sent via postal and express delivery services are carried out at the post and express office Customs branches.
In the past times, implementing Decision 15/2017/QD-TTg (from 1st July 2017), the Ministry of Finance (the General Department of Vietnam Customs) has issued some documents to remove obstacles for local enterprises and local Customs.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho will ask Real Madrid for Raphael Varane and Alvaro Morata in exchange for David De Gea, according to an exclusive on Saturday.
Mourinho will play "hardball" with his old club this summer in a bid to get as much as he can from the La Liga giants.
Real are believed to be desperate to secure the signing of De Gea this summer and they are willing to pay as much as £60million to get hold of the 26-year-old.
They almost landed the former Atletico keeper two years ago for £30million, but the deal fell through on transfer deadline day when a dodgy fax machine was blamed for De Gea staying at Old Trafford.
And last summer Real did not activate a £30million get-out clause in De Gea's, which expired in June 2016,
Now The Sun report Mourinho will ask for Morata, 24, and Varane, 23, with the aim of getting "at least one player thrown into the bargain".
The prospect of landing former Juve striker Morata is a more real one than that of landing Varane, who is rated very highly in Madrid.
Manchester City have placed Manchester United target Antoine Griezmann at the top of their summer wanted list, according to a report.
Pep Guardiola wants the France international to team up with Gabriel Jesus with the future of Sergio Aguero in doubt, report the Daily Mail.
United are rumoured to be in pursuit of Griezmann, 26, who has been guarded over his future after a penning a new deal last June that runs until 2021.
Griezmann is believed to have a €100million buyout in his Atletico Madrid contract but that will not put off either of the two Manchester clubs or Chelsea, who are also rumoured to have an interest in the striker.
There is very little substance to the latest report, but if City do lose Aguero in the summer then they will no doubt spend big to bring in a replacement.
Griezmann has scored 26 goals in 50 games for club and country this season.

text: "So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:34 [AMP] We all have limited 'RAM' in our brains. We have a limited capacity with which to process the multitude of decisions which plague us every day; from what to wear, to where to take our companies next. And we recognize the need to delegate decisions and responsibilities to our subordinates, if it is in the office; or help, if it is in the home; so that we can concentrate on what is truly important. Beloved, Jesus recognizes that too, more than you realize. And that is why He tells us to take things one day at a time, for indeed sufficient for each day is its own trouble. But more than a mere comforting word, there is a compelling reason why Jesus tells us to relax; and that is because He has already taken care of the big things for us. He has already sorted out the pressing matters, so that we no longer have to worry about them, and can focus on living our lives. So what exactly has Jesus sorted out? "When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high," Hebrews 1:3 [AMP] First and foremost, Jesus sorted out our eternal salvation. For us who believe, our sins have been purged, once and for all, so that now, we are right with our Father, pleasing in His sight, loved and favored, for eternity; because, "Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." Matthew 26:27-28 As a sacrifice, Jesus, the perfect lamb of God, was more than enough of a sin offering for us; and this was not decided upon by man, this was decided by God our Father. "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5:21 So when He was beaten, bruised and then crucified, He took upon Himself, the collective punishment of all of us who believe, for all time, for "Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole." Isaiah 53:4-5 [AMP] So all the bad that you rightly think should come your way because your life has not been perfect, have all been nailed on Jesus; all the afflictions which you rightly feel should be yours, have all been borne by Him. Even every curse pronounced by God Himself in the latter half of Deuteronomy 28, have all fallen on Jesus on our behalf. Such is the love of our Father, such is the love of Jesus, and indeed "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." John 3:16 [AMP] And as if that was not enough, the eternal life we get, because we believe, is not one that is lived in abject poverty, not in the least; because "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12-13 "For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him." John 3:17 [AMP] So beloved, if you are still living in worry over your sins, Jesus has taken care of them all. If you are worried that God is angry with you, He no longer is and never again will be. If you think that you ought to be afflicted, you probably should be, but that will never happen to you anymore. Because, "As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103:12 Even if you wanted it, God has no righteous reason to visit your sins on you anymore because they have all been punished in the person of Jesus. That is why, "When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high," Hebrews 1:3 [AMP] It has all been dealt with. So then, for us who believe, God our Father loves and is for us, therefore "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 There is nothing left to say but to enjoy the sin-free, guilt-free life that Jesus came to bring. Because this is what is in that life that He came to bring. "And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds; the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. Then all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations and not borrow." Deuteronomy 28:1-12 For remember that He said, "I come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10 And how do we unlock this privilege? "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." John 14:13-14 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Mark 11:24 Beloved, remember, "For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust." Psalm 103:14 That is why He knows how much 'RAM' we have to deal with life's challenges. Furthermore, we were not made to toil; this was why we were made, "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." Genesis 1:26 So live life the way our Father wants us to. Focus on the blessings laid out before us to enjoy, and leave the rest to Him. Jesus has taken care of everything.
