Chapter 26 finds us walking with David into Saul's camp. The Lord has placed everyone in the camp into a deep sleep, so no one wakes when David Abishai walk into the camp of the man trying to kill David. In fact, they walk right up to Saul's bedside. Abishai wants to kill Saul right then and there and be done with all this madness of hiding out in caves. David, however, refuses to let Abishai kill Saul sharing that he believes God will handle Saul on his own. They settle for taking some of Saul's personal items with them and leave the camp. Outside the camp, David moves far enough away to be heard, but not attacked and calls out to Saul's company. They reveal that they were in the camp and have taken some things. David points out that he could have killed Saul, but didn't. Saul invites David to return with no hard feelings. David just wants Saul to leave him alone. The chapter ends with David sharing his hope that the mercy he gave to Saul will be blessings upon himself in escaping tribulation and Saul telling David how what David does will prosper.
The Ziphites, King Saul, David, David's spies, Ahimelech the Hittite, Joab's brother Abishai, Saul's army, Abner, and the Lord.
Key Verse
""Behold, as your life was precious this day in my sight, so may my life be precious in the sight of the Lord, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation." Then Saul said to David, "Blessed be you, my son David! You will do many things and will succeed in them." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place." Verse 24
Cross References
Genesis 32:28-30 "Then he said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed." Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.""
When I read the Psalms David wrote I have a consistent thought, "At least I don't have it this bad." He speaks so dramatically, and my life is never that threatened or challenged.
Until I have a bad week, or someone dies, or we have yet another person upset because Lebanon did not live up to their expectations and we must have made it that way maliciously. Then I start to speak just as melodramatically, saying things like, "No one wants us here, they wouldn't care if we were dead!" "I feel paralyzed." "I'm trapped."
Can any of you relate?
Imagine an enemy that has been chasing you, trying to murder you, and making your life miserable. Maybe it isn't a person. Maybe it is a circumstance, an addiction, spiritual, or something else that came to your mind and just doesn't fit a category.
What is trapping you? Keeping you in a cave instead of the castle you were promised?
What if you could walk right up to that enemy while it/he/she was sleeping? Would you want to get rid of it in one fell swoop?
This reminds me of a story in John:
"One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?"" John 5:5-6
Do I want to be healed? YES! OF COURSE!
And I know that some of my circumstances are not being removed because God is preparing me. David is going to be King, God has promised that. And David has the faith and confidence in God to sit back and wait for the kingship instead of taking it by force. He wants to take the throne the right way. I want to be healed the right way. I can't do it on my own, and I need God. So, I will continue to live as David did in blessing my enemies in hopes that God will bless me and remove the cave living. And not hoping in the way we have come to say it, but in the knowing it is going to happen, believing it is just around the corner.
Jesus in the Old Testament*
*The similar themes of chapters 24 and 26 are obvious—both recount episodes in which David has an opportunity to kill Saul but refuses to do so because Saul is the "LORD's anointed" (24:6, 10; 26:9, 11, 23). But what about chapter 25? Here David has cause and opportunity to avenge himself on the wicked Nabal, a man much like Saul in some respects but not enjoying anointed status. Only by the intervention of a wise woman, Abigail, is David prevented from bloodying his hands (25:23-35). In due course, "the LORD struck Nabal, and he died" (25:38). The clear teaching of both Old and New Testaments is that believers should never exact a personal vengeance, but should "wait for the LORD, and he will deliver" (Prov. 20:22). *
Proverbs 20:22 "Do not say, "I will repay evil"; wait for the LORD, and he will deliver you."
Romans 12:19-21 "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Hebrews 10:30 "For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
Deuteronomy 32:35 "Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly.' For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone and there is none remaining, bond of free."
*While "vengeance" can sound negative, in the Bible vengeance predominantly has to do with the establishment of lawful justice, and God is its rightful agent. The believer can have confidence that, at the right time and in the right way, the "God of vengeance" will "shine forth" (Ps. 94:1), and full justice will be achieved.*
Seeing God clearly, without cultural blinders, is challenging. We sometimes build our own ideas of justice, and in America and Lebanon both it is extremely easy to forget God. To forget He really did create all of this, and that all of it belongs to Him. Sometimes I think we start to believe we know better than God, that we have a better handle on justice than he does. This isn't true. God is in charge of all justice, and He knows sin without a second thought. He is not tempted by it, while we spend a lot of time trying to justify our sins and explain them away like Adam and Eve in the garden. Let's seek the God that was willing to sacrifice His own Son because He knew how terribly we have sinned and were going to sin, and He knew we couldn't fix it. If we keep our eyes fixed on Him, we will learn Truth and Justice and Grace, and that they are not separate, but exist together.
Psalm 94:1 "O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!"

The gift of Counsel aids and perfects the virtue of Prudence. Recall in the post titled, Prudence's Principle Workings Part I of III, where we discussed Counsel's role in the decision making process: Counsel addresses the means to the end (or the intention) and the circumstances. Counsel provides the conscience with advice as to whether or not the means to the desired end is morally appropriate. The "advice" is instruction from God on action to be taken. That is why the advice will always be error-free. Without Counsel, a person would not be able to make a prudent, error-free decision. Therefore, when God created man He, always knowing what we as humans need, endowed within us the Holy Spirit's gift of Counsel. This gift will always instruct us by providing us with knowledge of what is right and what is wrong, thus forming our consciences. In essence, through the gift of Counsel, the "morality code" is implanted into our DNA. For example, no one needs to tell you that it is wrong to take an innocent life, because your conscience has already informed you that preservation of life is a good thing and the taking of innocent life is evil.
What happens when we ignore our consciences, and thusly ignore the gift of Counsel that is trying to instruct us? We make decisions filled with errors. We make mistakes. We sin. Do we want to make error-filled decisions? Do we want to make mistakes? Do we want to sin? The answer is no. Deep down in our core beings, we want to be good, because we were made by God to be good. So, I encourage you today, to take whatever error-filled decisions, whatever mistakes, whatever sins you may have committed, and simply acknowledge them and be truly sorry for not listening to the Holy Spirit's Counsel in the past. Ask God for forgiveness, and open your heart and mind to His Counsel.
What happens when you seek the Holy Spirit's Counsel? We'll address the answer to that question in the next reflection on Counsel. Don't miss it!

40+ Weeks & Here We Go!!!
As you all read this, I'm already in the hospital! I'm writing this at 3:23pm on
5/17 waiting on DH to get home so we can head to the hospital. I had the
mindset that my induction would be scheduled for next week so today (Friday)
would be my last day of work for 12 weeks, we'd enjoy the weekend (I already had
in mind what all I wanted to do) and then it would be baby time!!! Well, as you
all know, kids change everything!
I went in for my 2:30pm appointment,
peed in a cup and they hooked me up to a non-stress test. Baby looks good, I was
having a few BH and baby was moving. Then the NP came in and asked if I'd been
having headaches. I told her no but that I had noticed the swelling had returned
and I could barely fit my feet into my tennis shoes this morning. She informed
me I'd gained 8 pounds!!! since last week and I had protein in my urine...not a
trace amount but real protein. She went and checked with my doc who said go
ahead and send her to the hospital to get induced tonight. I think I
took the quick change of events pretty well. She went on to check for dilation
(none) and told me to head to the hospital. I asked if I had time to wait for my
husband to get home and she was like yeah but don't dilly dally.
I called DH who thought I was kidding. I told him not to rush but don't take his time
either. I came straight home and let the dogs out so they could get some fresh
air then went to charge up the laptop, phone, camera, I-touch, etc...I made up
the bed and put pillows on our guest bed, wrote a note to my mom asking her to
do laundry and bring me some clothes when she got to the hospital. Then I sat
down to send some last minute work emails I'd planned on doing tomorrow and then
typed this up while waiting for DH. I hope he gets home in time so that I can
take a shower and he can shave my legs!!!
I can't even begin to explain how I'm feeling...excited, nervous, scared, excited!!! I'll do my best to keep you all posted but we've got to keep our family informed first! Say some prayers
for Baby A, DH and me because I know it's going to be (and probably already
has) a LONG day.

I Finally Remembered a Picture!
I finally remembered to have DH take a picture!!! Despite the "magic dinner" of pork steaks and corn on the cob Saturday night, which is the same meal my mom ate that sent her into labor with my sister and I, Baby A decided s/he was still content where s/he was!
On Sunday, Mother's Day and Baby A's due date, my sister and niece came over. We hit up Babies-R-Us and scored some sweet deals at Costco. Then my dad and grandma joined us and we had lunch at Outback. After they all left, I was about to head in for the night when I remembered to grab the camera. Here I am in all my pregnancy glory at exactly 40 weeks pregnant:
And this is also the outfit I wear pretty much every other day :) The pants and top are both from my sister. The pants are at least 8+ years old because they are Old Navy maternity pants she wore when she was pregnant with my niece! I told her I was keeping them because they're pretty comfy.
Come on Baby A, we're all SUPER ready to meet you!!!

39 Weeks!
...or 40, whatever, right? Today I had what I'm going to call my 39 week check-up. BP was still elevated but stayed in the same range as usually. Baby was active. No protein in my urine but there was lots of sugar, uh-oh busted! One of my co-workers mom made what I like to call "Un-ladylike brownies" and she'd brought me one. I ate lunch late and had the brownie with it so I was totally busted. Oops! No dilation though :( Even though I went to acupuncture on Monday, nothing.
She told me that the hospital I'm delivering at is usually very busy and you have to schedule an induction at least 10 days in advance. She grabbed the calendar and asked me what I thought. I said, "Well, I'll be 41 weeks on the 20th..." to which she replied, "No, on the 17th." I said I thought my due date was May 13 and she told me that my IF clinic told me that but they'd changed it to May 10 (today apparently!). I went back and looked at my 10 week blog post and no, they told me May 13 too. Anyways, the 20th is the earliest you can schedule so the nurse was going to call and see what she could set-up. We're still hoping to go before then but at least we know if I don't go, when I am. Funny because this baby really MIGHT be born on my FIL's birthday!
The doc told me since I wasn't dilated that if I am induced, it could be a VERY long labor. I'll check in and they'll put some type of string in by my cervix to try to get things moving. They'll leave this in for 12 hours and then re-evaluate. She said the question is, if they induce and after 24 hours nothing happens then does she send me home or do we go straight to a C-section? Once things are set, I'm sure we'll review more info at my appointment next week.
So the plan now is...we wait. I keep monitoring my BP and baby movements and hopefully go into labor on my own. I haven't really tried any old wives tales. I've only done acupucture which the doctor there told me that since I wasn't dilated at all that it might take a few sessions. Normally, I'd be all up for more sessions but she just raised her rates to $50 per visit so multiple visits is not an option. Side note: the trip to L&D on the day of my shower is probably going to cost us $250 for the exact same stuff they do at a normal doctor's visit: protein check and monitor BP.
My family's old wives tale is this: the night before my mom went into labor with both my sister and I, my dad grilled her pork steaks and corn on the cob. So this is what DH is making for dinner on Saturday night in hopes that this baby gets moving! Please keep us in your prayers, mainly that both the baby and I stay healthy and s/he decides to come soon.

38 Weeks!
I'm home from my 38 week appointment, chilling in the recliner covered up with a baby quilt and I'm happy. My doctor has decided that my BP is a chronic issue (although always low prior to pregnancy but it was high the first couple of visits) and since I haven't had any protein in my urine the last couple visits that she's going to let me go and not induce next week-woohoo!!!
Baby A's heart rate was in the upper 140s and my BP was 138/80. My BP has been lower this week and last night, I was super excited because I could see me knee!!! I'm still not dialated any but checking for it this week was WAY better than the last 2 times, maybe I'm getting used to it but I also wasn't nearly as nervous today as the last 2 visits. It's supposed to be the LARGEST full moon of the year this Saturday so we'll be trying all those labor inducing wives tales.
DH is happy I'm not getting induced because 1. we don't really want to be induced and 2. he's working on a big job at work so now he can hopefully help finish it. I'm glad I'm not getting induced but at the same time, I'd kind of built it up in my mind that Baby A was coming next week. I'm not totally uncomfortable, although pretty close, but I'll be happy when Baby A is in my arms and I can love on him/her. I would really like to take some time from work, like working some shorter days but I found out this week that it will take away from my maternity leave.
Random Thoughts
*As I'm getting close and I tell people that the baby could arrive any day, they all look at me and say, "But you're so small!" I laugh because only when I'm pregnant have I ever been called small!
*The new donut shop had peanut butter donuts as the donut of the day today! I was so excited and bought a dozen to take to work and no one was there to enjoy with me!
*Every week, I plan on posting a belly pic but as soon as I get home from the doctor's I usually get straight into my pajamas. I'll do my best to have DH take a pic this weekend although I may not get out of my pajamas all weekend because, aside from a couple hours at work, I don't have anything planned.
*I'm down to 2 pairs of presentable pants I can wear to work. I no longer wear an underwire bra, it's just sports bras so that means only tshirts and I had to borrow some bigger tshirts from my BIL. I also got some from work too. So basically, I'm wearing the same outfit every couple of days at work. I'm hoping DH will help me shave my legs tonight so I can wear shorts tomorrow because it's like eleventy billion degrees here.
That's all for now, please keep us in your prayers.

Divorce Papers
There are several papers you need to start a divorce:
The Divorce Petition
The main document necessary to start a divorce is the divorce "petition", the application. There is a combined form for divorce and civil partnership dissolution. This makes it a bit confusing about ticking the right boxes in some places. There are also notes for guidance on this link.
You must read the instructions and the form very carefully so as to complete it correctly, for example in part 1 you need to write the names as they are now, while in part 2 they need to be copied from the marriage (or civil partnership) certificate, even if they were spelled wrongly or a middle name was missed out by accident, for example.
- Page 1 should be self-explanatory.
- Part 1 must state all details. If you do not have the other's address, you should seek legal advice about what to do about that. Often a bit of internet research will track someone down and you can then at least contact your spouse (or a member of their family) via social media or email. If they also want to get divorced and you can explain to them that you need their address for the court form, in most cases they will let you have it.
- In Part 2 you must copy the details from the marriage or civil partnership certificate exactly as they are there. If, for example, you wrote "registry office" instead of "register office", your divorce could be rejected.
- Part 3 deals with jurisdiction for divorce or same-sex civil partnership dissolution for gay and lesbian couples. Tick one box in the first line and insert the address where you last lived together. If you are married and you rely on one of the grounds for jurisdiction in the EU Brussels II Regulation, tick the first box after the address; if you are civil partners and you rely on the equivalent ground, tick the second box. If you are both habitually resident in England and Wales you can tick the box for that line; otherwise, you will need to copy the ground for jurisdiction into the next text box from the guidance notes. Only if none of those apply, and they would also not apply in any other EU country (except Denmark), can you rely on any of the grounds below the box, namely that one of you is domiciled in England and Wales; or, for civil partnership and same-sex marriage only, that you registered/married here. The English Family Court would deal with the divorce or dissolution then if, for example, you cannot dissolve your relationship elsewhere. Domicile is a complicated legal concept and is not the same as where you live. You must seek legal advice from a specialist in international English family law if you are relying on domicile. If your case has any international dimension, for example, if one (or both) of you lives outside England and Wales (even in Scotland or Ireland), is not British or there is property abroad or you have in the past lived abroad, you should definitely contact a specialist in international family law to advise you on your particular case. If you do not do that, you could find yourself heavily disadvantaged later on. In that case, please contact us to arrange an appointment (see below).
- Part 4 deals with previous court proceedings. Be careful that you tick the right boxes here. It is best to read the text with the boxes ticked to check you have done it right. If you rely on five years' separation you also need to complete the second part.
- In Part 5 tick whether you apply for divorce, civil partnership dissolution or separation and then tick the right box for the fact you rely on.
- Part 6 has a box for the details of the fact you rely on. You do not need to write much here, just enough to satisfy the fact. The box is deliberately kept to a limited size. There is absolutely no point in writing anything about any behaviour (if that is your fact) which took place more than six months ago (or six months before the separation if you are separated) unless it is continuing. Of course the behaviour can be from after the separation, so if you have separated and you are now both seeing someone else, you cannot rely on your own sexual relationship with someone else, but you can write something like:
"The respondent has had sexual relationships with other people and the petitioner does not feel that he/she can continue to live with the respondent."
- You do not have to fill the box! The same applies to adultery (check the definition here – you cannot use adultery for civil partnership dissolution!):
"The Respondent has committed adultery with another man/woman [who the petitioner knows but wishes not to mention/unknown to the Petitioner] and this is continuing/on or around [date]."
- If you rely on separation, you need to write something like:
"The petitioner realised that the relationship had run its course on or around [date] and moved out of the joint home on [date] [and for two years' separation and consent] and the Respondent consents to the divorce."
- Part 7: List details of your children and tick column (a) if both of you are the parents and column (b) for any other "child of the family", usually children of one of you who have been living with you as a family all or part of the time (step-children for example).
- Part 8 deals with any special assistance you need at court, e.g. interpretation or disabled parking.
- Part 9 is for the addresses which the court will put on its system to send the court documents out. If you later move, you must tell the court. Make sure the addresses are complete.
- Part 10 section 1: You will need to read this carefully to ensure you tick the right boxes.
- Part 10 section 2 only applies if you have a solicitor, because if not you do not have costs (only the court fee). This only relates to the costs of the divorce itself, not of any other issues, such as a financial claim. In most cases the court will order the other party to pay costs if the divorce relies on adultery, behaviour or desertion, but not if it relies on two or five years' separation.
- Part 10 section 3: Here there is a request for all of the financial claims which are available. It is standard practice to tick those which apply and it does not necessarily mean that you want to pursue these claims. It means that if you agree on a financial settlement (or that you do not want to make claims against each other and want the court to dismiss them) the court has power to do so. It also means that you can make the application later even if you have re-married or registered a new civil partnership (although you would not then be able to claim for maintenance for yourself). The court will only deal with financial claims if either party starts separate financial proceedings, which are tagged on (ancillary) to the divorce.
Marriage Certificate
You will need your marriage certificate to start a divorce. If you do not have it any more, you can get a copy from the Register Office where you married or from the General Register Office. You can do this online once you have registered or over the telephone. There is a separate fee for an expedited service. You can ask the General Register Office to send the new marriage certificate directly to your solicitor if you have one.
The Family Court will keep the marriage certificate. If you think you may need it later, you should get another one.
You cannot send a photocopy to the court. They need the original, although in some urgent cases you can deliver this later. You should talk to your solicitor if you have difficulties getting hold of your marriage certificate.
If you married abroad and the marriage certificate is in a foreign language, you will need to get a certified translation. This can be expensive.
In some countries you can get a multi-lingual marriage certificate from the place where you registered. This looks a little bit like an EU Passport, often with numbered boxes and the description for each number on the back of the page in many languages. There is an example here.
Statement in Support
Once your spouse has returned the completed acknowledgement of service form to the court and you have a copy, you need to complete the statement in support to apply for the decree nisi (or the conditional order in a civil partnership dissolution). The statement in support is a court form you will have to fill in. You have to be very careful to answer the questions correctly or your divorce or same-sex civil partnership dissolution may get rejected because there is a legal rule behind each of the questions. Here the help and advice of a solicitor can be very useful. You have to use a different form depending on which fact your divorce or civil partnership dissolution relies on:
- adultery,
- behaviour,
- two years' desertion,
- two years' separation and consent or
- five years' separation.
If your spouse has signed the acknowledgement of service form (rather than a solicitor only on their behalf), you need to attach a copy of the completed acknowledgement of service form and complete the bits about recognising their signature too.
There is a statement of truth at the end, so everything must be absolutely correct. If it later turned out that you did not tell the truth, you could be fined or imprisoned for it.
You then send the form to the court together with your application for a decree nisi or conditional order (another court form). There is no fee.
Application for Decree Absolute/Final Order
There is a simple form for this.
There is one other document, which your solicitor (if you have one) needs to draft showing whether or not they have advised you about reconciliation. It has no discernible function..

One Last Month to Make it Count!
Can you believe it, summer is almost over. Did you get to accomplish everything you planned? Did life sneak up on you, such as unexpected bills, a loss of a job or did your situation change? Well, the busiest 2 months of summer are over, with literally weeks until school starts up again. There's a lot of juggling finances as you finish off your summer trips, buy school clothes and rush to the store to buy up all the school supplies you can get your hands on. For the kids the hustle and bustle has just begun, but for the single parent this is just a normal month. How often do we have a busy month like this and we don't think twice about it. It's a regular routine for us, we work, we buy, and we're broke. There's no "ifs", "ands" or "buts" about it. We work hard, play less and fall into an eternal cycle of Single Parenting. Half the time we don't know which end is up, just as long as those kids are fed, the bills are paid and we can get to work on time.
Now, stop for a minute and consider something here. In the last month and a half, how many hours did you actually spend doing something that was enriching your mind? By that, I mean doing something in your life that allows you to gain more knowledge, more insight in your life or meditate on the surroundings in which you dwell. This summer I had a very interesting class through the University of Phoenix online. It was more stimulating than anything and it allowed me to sit back in my own life and see how things are run. Although suggesting school for everyone is not feasible, there are many different ways to enrich your mind while taking care of the kids and maintaining your busy life. Here are a few that I came up with that may be fun to try!
There are so many different things one can do to increase your brainpower. I encourage you to seek out fun and exciting ways of enhancing your intellect while maintaining your Single Parent way of life.

Since suspicions are rife that pork barrels of public officials are being misused amid the P10 billion pork barrel scam that is being played up against the political opponents of the administration, civic groups are now demanding a probe on President Aquino's bigger P25 billion discretionary funds.
The activist fisherfolk alliance Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said the Commission on Audit (CoA) should pursue a comprehensive audit on the P24.8 billion-pork barrel Congress had allotted for Aquino last year.
Pamalakaya vice chairman Salvador France made the appeal a day after Malacañang announced that the Office of the President will keep his pork barrel amid mounting calls demanding the abolition of pork barrel given to lawmakers and the Office of the President.
France said his group is supporting the demand for the abolition pork barrel currently given to senators and congressmen, including the President's Social Fund (PSF).
"The Filipino taxpaying public including the urban poor who pay P3.60 in expanded value added tax for every kilo of rice is entitled to an honest-to-goodness audit of the pork barrel transferred to Aquino's presidential account in 2012. The CoA should establish how the President spent his pork last year and present a honest accounting of public funds spent by the ruling political party in Malacañang," France said.
The Pamalakaya leader lambasted Aquino for refusing to heed the legitimate demands of the people to have presidential pork abolished along with the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) of lawmakers following the discovery of P10-billion pork barrel scam by CoA.
France said PSF is a potential source of money which the president and his allies can use for corruption since this kind of pork barrel is free from public scrutiny and government audit.
According to Pamalakaya, the Office of the President's pork barrel in 2012 included the P2.695-billion in intelligence funds, of which, P666 million was earmarked for National Security Monitoring including requirements for the Presidential Anti-Organized and Syndicated Crime and Transnational Crime Campaign as well as P600 million for confidential and intelligence expenses which are released on approval of the President.
The group said in 2012, the Office of the President also sought P224.68 million budget for travel expenses alone.
Pamalakaya said Aquino exercises discretionary powers on the intelligence funds of the Office of the President, contingent funds, calamity funds and unprogrammed funds. About P1 billion pesos was given to President Aquino for contingent funds.
Pamalakaya said the contingent fund was administered by the Office of the President and used exclusively to fund the requirements of new and/or urgent projects and activities that need to be implemented during the year. This fund may be used to augment the existing appropriations for local and foreign travels of the President, but in no case shall it be used for the purchase of motor vehicles."
The group said the Office of the President also received P14.2 billion for disaster management use, apart from entry from the calamity fund, which went up to P7.5 billion in 2012 from P5 billion in 2011. Daily Tribune

North Carolina Criminal Statute of Limitations Laws
State laws place limits on how much time prosecutors have to file criminal charges against suspects. These time limits are called the criminal statute of limitations. Most states have different limits for different kinds of crimes, but North Carolina is unique in this regard. North Carolina's criminal statute of limitations is two years for most misdemeanors, and there is no statute of limitations for felonies or crimes classified as "malicious" misdemeanors.
Learn about North Carolina's criminal statute of limitations in the table below. Related resources and information can be accessed using links the following this article or by checking out FindLaw's Criminal Law Basics.
North Carolina General Statutes Code Section
15-1, et seq.: Statute of Limitations
There is no statute of limitations for felony offenses. North Carolina has a Structured Sentencing Act that classifies felonies based on the offense. Examples of felonies include the following:
There is no statute of limitations for malicious misdemeanors. Generally, malicious means with willful malice or bad motive. Prosecution for all other misdemeanors must be brought within two years. Misdemeanors are also classified based on the length of permissible punishment (Class 1A, Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3, with Class 1A having the longest potential sentences).
If you have been accused of a crime, you may want to contact a North Carolina criminal defense attorney for legal advice and assistance with your case. Defendants may also seek assistance from the Office of Indigent Defense services if they cannot afford to hire a private attorney.

Renowned for its wine, this hilltop town retains its splendid city walls and magnificent fortress
Montecarlo is a charming town immersed in the hills of the Lucchesia (Lucca region), characterized by its extensive rolling vineyards and significant wine production. Perched on a hilltop, the beautifully preserved historical center is still ringed by splendid city walls. The town's symbol is an imposing fortress, the Rocca del Cerruglio, constructed between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. A massive and formidable triangular-shaped structure, it comprises a semicircular-shaped main tower, known as the mastio, and two square-shaped towers that connect it to the curtain walls, the Tower of the Apparition and Tower of Saint Barbara.
Montecarlo's top sights worth seeing include the Collegiate Church of Saint Andrew (Chiesa Collegiata di Sant'Andrea), the not-to-be-missed parish church Pieve di San Piero in Campo, dating back to 846, and the tiny but enchanting theater Teatro dei Rassicurati, which was frequented by the composer Puccini.
Nature lovers can lose themselves amongst the silence and greenery on trails through the region's vineyards and olive groves, such as the inviting path to San Martino in Colle, which reveals an enormous ancient oak tree more than 500 years old growing on the hilly slopes. According to legend this was where local witches gathered to perform their rites, which is why it is now known as the "Witches' Oak".

Last week on The OfficePosted by Jaclyn at 8:49 PM
After Stanley snaps at Michael during a meeting, Toby tries to convince him that Stanley needs to be dealt with. Dwight buys Andy's car. Pam's forced to wear old glasses instead of her contacts.
I wasn't too impressed especially with all the changed they are trying to make.
I just didn't think this was one of the best episodes, Ryan is trying to mess with and/or fire Jim, they were about to fire Stanley. I know there has to be some plot and some suspense to make the show good but everything just came at once. I think I have missed to many epsisodes because there are some things missing. I know he said something about going over Ryan's head. I did see some of last week when they were all together in New York. In my opinon they can get rid of the Ryan character and maybe even Angela I never cared for her character it's more annoying than funny in my opinon even though the actress does a really good job playing that character.

John Of God ~ Casa de Dom Inácio ~ Abadiânia, Brazil
I will be guiding a group this year to visit the world-renowned, full trance medium and healer, João Teixeira de Faria, otherwise known as John of God.
You may have heard about John of God, or Medium João, as he prefers to be called in Portuguese, from Oprah Winfrey, Wayne Dyeror maybe even Gabriel Bernstein. I came to know about this incredible man, through the experience of Wayne Dyer, who was diagnosed with leukemia prior to his visit with John of God. I heard his interview with Oprah Winfrey and was super intrigued to learn more. Then, a few months later, I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Dyer speak at a Hay House event in Atlanta where he went into great detail recounting once again, his experience with John of God. That same day, I had also learned that a close friend was planning a visit of his own to this very special place in Brazil, known affectionately as the Casa. I too was planning on visiting on my own, since I know a little Portuguese and am a well-experienced traveler. So once he told me he would check things out for me, I definitely knew I would be going within the next few months, and I did.
I must admit, I got so much out of my first visit. I received visions through dreams and even deep intuitive communication from the Entities, or beings of love and light that heal through John of God, some being St. Ignatius of Loyola, Dr. Augusto de Almeida, and Chico Xavier. But on subsequent visits, I did have the aide of a guide because the shifts I was seeking were much deeper. I found the Casa protocols to be a bit confusing even though I could understand the language. That's part of the reason why I like to help people with their Casa experience. There are many details that can be hard to take in while visiting for the first time on one's own.
Initially, I went out of curiosity and a desire to heal some deep-seated anxiety that I had suffered from for years, but honestly, I wasn't sure why I was going. Since my first visit in 2013, I have now been back 7 times for myself, and for others, including my mother. My experience has been unique each time, and my healing continues long after my visits. It's a process, a gentle unfolding. The healing usually doesn't happen overnight, at least, it didn't for me. But it's different for everyone. Some have experienced 'miraculous' instantaneous shifts whether they be physical or emotional in nature. I have seen and heard things that I would never have thought possible; truly amazing stories. This place is nothing short of incredible and I would love to share my journey with you. To learn more about my visits to John of God, you can check out this blog post, or even better, Susan's post about our first trip.
Also, you can find the Casa guidebook and protocols here.
Trip Dates:
January 28th – February 11th (with an option of staying 1 week or full 2 weeks)
1 week: $1222 double occupancy + $100 for single occupancy
2 weeks: $1777 double occupancy + $200 for single occupancy
**Full payment is due by November 25th
~Why stay 2 weeks? Think of this visit like a visit to the doctor. You will receive your initial healing with instructions including possible bedrest and herbs. The following week will give you a chance to see the entities again for a "follow up visit" to fine-tune your healing process and allow you to go deeper into your own healing. I would strongly recommend staying 2 weeks if you can and that is why I am offering a great price for that second week.
Cost Includes:
Beautiful yet very basic accommodations at a local pousada within short walking distance to the Casa.
All meals are included. Food is fresh and local with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options!
2 bottles of blessed Casa water
Guided trip to the sacred waterfall + taxi
1st crystal bed session
Guidance, group and personal time with Mara before, during, and after your visit.
Not included:
Airfare to and from Brazil (I will provide assistance with booking your tickets if needed.)
Visa for entry into Brazil (This is required for all US passport holders. I will provide assistance with obtaining a Brazilian tourist visa.)
Casa herbs (if prescribed by the Entities)
Spending money
Tips (drivers, etc)
Casa Donation (Healing sessions from the Casa are free to everyone, however, the Casa operates solely on donations. Please bring what you feel is appropriate. This is strictly optional. Your name and address, etc. will not be collected. There is drop box for donations only.)
~I'm planning informational sessions in the Atlanta area, for those interested, but needing more information. Please contact me to be added to the list. Further details will be posted here.

too many sick people
I'm so exhausted today! I came in 15 mins early, only had time for a 30 min. lunch and left 45 mins late and me and my fellow office nurse STILL had stacks and stacks of charts on our desks.
I even offered to pick up my daughter and bring her back to the office with me to get ahead a little but my boss told me to go home.
I honestly think my Doctor has too many patients....and we don't have the man power to cover them all.
Also, I've noticed that the Endocrinology/Hormone biz has the highest maintenance type patients. I spent an hour on the phone today with just one couple....sorting out their issues with this and that.
Daily reminder.......
Don't forget to stop by Nursing Voices and NursingJobs !!!!
Tell them Jo sent ya!
Pretty pretty please! ( iphone.....people! iPhone!)

Before the 1st Visit
What will happen before a typical initial visit?
Before the initial office visit, Dr. Erlich will schedule a phone consultation so she can learn about your child's issues and discuss your goals and expectations from the visit. Dr. Erlich will be able to provide further explanation about your upcoming visit and answer general questions at this time.
During the days before the initial visit, please pay attention to your child's diet and keep a 3-day diet diary. Be sure to thoroughly complete the patient questionnaire, and bring it to the first visit. This will provide Dr. Erlich a tremendous amount of information and save valuable time during the visit so you can have a more complete discussion and education.
If your child has a complicated medical history that cannot be adequately conveyed on the questionnaire, please provide medical records to help clarify this information. You can request your medical records directly from your pediatrician and bring them to your initial visit. This will ensure that we have your records at the time of the visit. Please understand that your pediatrician's office is busy and may need adequate notice before providing you with the records. Plan to request records at least 2 weeks prior to your initial visit to Healing the Whole Child.

Lansing Town Supervisor Ed LaVigne says the first lottery to fill subsidized apartments in the Milton Meadows project was held Wednesday, but it's not too late to apply. That is just one of the projects that, after years of discussion, is now starting to fill out the Town Center area in South Lansing. In addition to the 72 unit Milton Meadows project, Salt Point Brewery is poised to close on 3 1/2 acres closer to State Route 34B, and the old Egan's Market building behind the Rogues Harbor Inn may be turned into a sort of health and fitness mall.
The road from 34B to Milton Meadows has had its first coat of pavement applied, and a sidewalk leads to the new development. LaVigne says the final paving will be completed after the buildings are complete.
"They won't put the top coat on until the buildings in the back are done," he says. "That way they don't beat up the road with heavy machines."
Cornerstone Group of Rochester representatives said last year that they plan to have all the units completed and rented this summer. LaVigne says people interested in renting there may call him for a copy of the application or contact numbers for the developer.
Once the road has been completed and certified by Highway Superintendent Charlie Purcell as meeting town standards for road construction Cornerstone will convey ownership of the road to the Town. In February the Town Board voted to name the new road 'Louise Bement Lane' in honor of Lansing Town Historian Louise Bement.
The final piece of road work will be moving the outlet of Woodsedge Drive to line up with Louise Bement Lane. That will mean moving the end of the road a few yards to the west to form a four-way intersection with 34B. New York State Senator Pam Helming secured a State and Municipalities (SAM) Facilities grant in March of 2018 that would pay up to $75,000 for materials needed to move the road.
With the new road mostly installed other properties on the 153 acre town property can begin to fill in. Since opening in May of 2018 Salt Point Brewery has outgrown the little building next to Rogue's harbor Inn, and in April the Town Board voted to sell 3 1/2 acres to the owners. Two of those acres are wetlands, and the remaining land will house a new brewery building that will include a restaurant and brewery, plus a large parking lot.
"We hope to close with Salt Point brewery this week or next week," LaVigne said Wednesday. "The owner is presenting a preliminary site plan at the June 22nd Planning Board meeting to start the process."
"We're essentially in step one of site plan review. It's simply an informal way for an applicant to have a conversation with the Panning Board about their vision," says Lansing's Director of Planning C.J. Randall. "It is to show some preliminary renderings, an elevation, a sketch on an underlying map. One question is how the Town Center Trail will continue through the property. Will it continue as more of a paved surface? How wide will it be? There are a lot of questions to be teased out. This is a great chance for the applicants to start the conversation and help refine their vision into reality."
LaVigne says that the natural gas moratorium has presented challenges for the Town and Village of Lansing in terms of development and local job development.
"The natural gas moratorium really hurt us," he said. "With Macom leaving we now have to make up the loss with small businesses. If Macom had stayed it would have been 220 jobs. That's huge. Because of the ripple effect that one job generates three others."
Some of those businesses may be part of a kind of health and fitness mall planned for the old Egan's Foodliner building. Since the grocery store closed in 1994. Since then it has either stood empty or housed a handful of uses, the most recent of which is a practice space for the Ithaca League of Women Rollers roller derby teams.
"They want to put shops in the old Egan's Market building," LaVigne says. "They want to but a beauty salon there, and maybe a tanning salon, maybe an exercise business, maybe a laundromat."
The Tiny Timber, LLC project that was brought to town officials in 2017 is on hold, but LaVigne says it may still come to fruition. The original proposal was to build 10 homes in the first phase. Assuming the market is receptive they would build 20 more in phase two, and 30 more in a third phase. They estimated the homes, which would be for sale, would be in the range of 1,000 to 1200 square feet. The developer's option to purchase the property has not expired at this point.
"That has been revisited. I think their team has reorganized, but they're still interested," he says.
LaVigne stressed that the Request For Proposals (RFP) that was sent to potential developers in 2017 is still open, and the Town is very interested in selling more of its land to potential businesses and developers.
"We're still aggressively trying to be open for business," LaVigne says. "The RFP is still open for people who want to submit proposals for the town land. We're still trying to bring businesses in here."
