(CNN) – A leading Republican senator said Sunday he's willing to break the no-tax pledge promoted by activist Grover Norquist if Democrats are willing to help pass spending reforms on government programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said he believes capping tax deductions should be part of a plan to reduce the federal debt - a revenue-raising tactic that pushes against Norquist's Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which stipulates lawmakers who sign the document will "oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates."

"I'm willing to generate revenue," Graham said on ABC. "It's fair to ask my party to put revenue on the table. We're below historic averages."
The South Carolina Republican said he agreed with Norquist that tax rates shouldn't be raised, but that Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, was mistaken in his unyielding opposition to increasing tax revenue.
"I think Grover is wrong when it comes to, we can't cap deductions and buy down debt," said Graham, who added that he would "violate the pledge, long story short, for the good of the country."
Part of any deal involving a cap on tax deductions would have to include agreement by Democrats to reforms in spending on government entitlement programs, Graham said.
"To do this, I just don't want to promise the spending cuts. I want entitlement reforms. Republicans always put revenue on the table. Democrats always promise to cut spending. Well, we never cut spending," he said.
Graham's readiness to break the no-tax pledge comes after other Republicans, including Sen. Saxby Chambliss, have voiced similar commitments to raising revenue as part of a deal to avoid to upcoming fiscal cliff.
Chambliss, a two-term Republican from Georgia, said Wednesday that Norquist's pledge stands in the way of finding common ground on reducing the debt.
"I care more about my country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge," Chambliss told Georgia television station WMAZ, a CNN affiliate. "If we do it his way, then we'll continue in debt, and I just have a disagreement with him about that."
"If he wants to change his mind and become a tax increaser so we don't have to reform government, he needs to have that conversation with the people of Georgia," responded Norquist during an appearance on CNN's "The Situation Room" Friday.
Rep. Peter King, R-New York, said Sunday he agreed with Chambliss that a pledge signed decades ago shouldn't be considered relevant today, and that "everything should be on the table."
"A pledge you signed 20 years ago, 18 years ago, is for that Congress," King said on NBC. "For instance, if I were in Congress in 1941, I would have signed the declaration of war against Japan. I'm not going to attack Japan today. The world has changed. The economic situation is different."

How come Republicans ALWAYS accuse Democrats of spending money like water, yet under the Democrats the economy historically prospers, while under Republicans, the debt ALWAYS soars? Most recently witness our resurgence under Clinton, after years of Republican excess. The first time we had a surplus, in about 30 years. Bush gets in, the surplus is gone, and not just our economy, but the worlds economy tanks. Obama gets in, and slowing we claw our way out of the crater Bush left us in. It was quite clear at election time, that the Republicans wanted to snatch the White House, so that they could claim any credit for the turnaround Obama started. And don't give me any nonsense about Obama running up the deficit. If your house is cratered, it WILL take lots of time & money to rebuild, as surely as it takes time & money to rebuild what mad king George left of our economy. Go ahead flame this post, this last election says what most Americans believe, and it wasn't in twoface & his sidekick the joker.
Sen. Lindsey Graham needs to go , all he supports are wars and inflated military spending.
Another GW Bush yes man .
This represents a real-life watershed moment for the GOP. If they choose to take it. Right now, they have the opportunity to show who it is they really support. Their most recent Presidential candidate was an unabashed plutocrat- and it cost them the race, plus seats in the House and Senate. The GOP can "stay the course" and remain in the pocket of one lobbyist who represents the richest in America, or; they can side with the American people and reign in their 10 years of insane and wasteful spending- much of it on tax breaks for people who don't need them, or produce anything in the American economy.
My challenge to you all:
Write your Congress persons today- demand they renounce Mr. Norquist's pledge and to work across the aisle for the betterment of all Americans.
Elected officials shouldn't sign anti-tax pledges at the bidding of an individual whose major source of income is inherited wealth.
The Norquist pledge is patently anti-american as are all who sign it
Rep. King's point about the timeframe is very well said. The historical tie-in (war with Japan) really drives it home.
i think all business should sign a pledge not to lay off employees... Oh wait, that would just be silly wouldn't it...
The guy's trying to get his credibility back after being duped by FOX into howling about Benghazi. Yes, Lindsay, we don't always tell the public all we know. Surprised? At your age, you ought to know that. They are all going to have to dump Norquist and his stupid libertarian "starve the government" ideas before he sinks their boat, so he's just going to try to grab headlines by being first.
The Republicans in Congress have to accept 4 things:
1) They lost the election. And they lost to a president and a Democratic party that openly campaigned on raising tax rates for the wealthiest 2% of Americans.
2) The American people support raising tax rates on the wealthiest 2% of Americans. A full 60% of voters told exit pollers they wanted the Bush tax cuts to expire on those who make more than $250,000 per year.
3) Most Democrats in Congress - and about 80% of the American people - oppose any cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
4) If the country goes off the fiscal cliff, most Americans will blame the GOP.
@ Clyde–
I like the way you think. The congress/senate is paid way too much to do way too little. It seems like every time I turn around they're taking some kind of break for this or that. You're very generous w/ their vacation/sick time. I worked at a company where if you had to stay home sick, you used a 'vacation' day. They would like that even less.
Republicans,Democrates signing any pledge is an act of treason and should be handled that way.It goes against the Constitution and it goes against the constituents that put them there,the voter.You reps work for America not an anti tax rebel who's own idol in Reagan raised taxes 11 times and cut out many deductions .Reagan was also quilty of stealing from SocialSecurity to balance the budget in the "80s if you never knew as well as Nixon so to all you sanctumonious republicans your crookedness has been going on for years but never been punished!!So to Graham and all who want their jobs you'd better eat your pledge to Norquists and get working if you want a job after midterms because there's more of us wanting you obstructionistic republicans out than teapartiers that want you in,the choice is yours,work for America or get out!!
Republicans: you lost! Deal with it!
Good for him. The only manner in which people who signed that pledge in the first place should be "breaking" it is by resigning their position in Congress. Period. You go to Congress to use information, facts, historical record, evidence, expert opinions and a thoroughly objective understanding of the issues to make decisions in the best interests of the American public...NOT to promote and defend ideological absolutisms from having to bend or yield to the demands of reality. Anyone who signed that pledge shoudl be gone...no excuses, no rationalizations, no justifications and no apologies are acceptable.
Most of the rich people can live up to at least 100 years old because clearly they do have the money for doctor visits and such but the people who work day by day and are barely making it well those people do die much earlier so do thy get their benefits or retirement? That's why they wanna raise it to seventy.
"Norquist says he'll go after pledge-breakers"
Not to worry...plenty will be going after YOU, Grovey, if the attempt to make a fiscal cliff deal is thwarted by your mindless pledge. Prepare yourself.
Norquist can go and live on Gilligan's island along with Romney and Santorum and Bachman and Ryan and all the other stupid fringe GOP Tea Party losers. They will be happy there while the rest of us get on with our lives without them.
Oh Happy Day
Is this finally a Republican willing to be a statesman rather than just a puppet to Norquist? Of course, he wants something in return, but compromise is after all, the name of the political game.
@Sniffit: "Anyone who signed that pledge shoudl be gone...no excuses, no rationalizations, no justifications and no apologies are acceptable."
Personally, I think it's treason to put your loyalty to a person ahead of your sworn duty to the Constitution. It's especially laughable when you consider how all these Repub yahoos love to say that President Obama is a
"dictator" and George Soros "controls" the Democratic Party when so obvious it's Grover they are talking about.
We know Republicans will bend but that self rightous louse Harry Reid is not going to cut spending and we aren't going anywhere but off the cliff. The pain is going to roll down hill.
Lindsey, you and your republican cohorts lost! You don't get to dictate the terms of the fiscal curb deal. Live with it!
It's about time! Once this is done with, I'd like to see Congress pass a law that makes all pledges to anything other than the Constitution of the United States a crime of treason and pushing such a pledge be deemed sedition.
The reason the GOP needs to dump Mr. Norquist is that he is the proof that the GOP was the party of the 1%, and of fiscal obstruction- unless of course, they wish to continue losing elections.
I'm with Sniffit. Anyone that signed the pledge should GO!
"We know Republicans will bend"
HAHAHAHAAHA. Really? After the past 6 years of obstruction, fililbuster records, secret hold records, record-setting nomination delays, etc? We "know" the GOPers/Teatrolls will bend? Only bending I think we "know" they do is to get under CEOs' desks. It certainly isn't to compromise and enact sane fiscal policies.
Meanwhile, Grampaw McCain says he didn't really mean all those things he said about Susan Rice. He was just carried away by the lynch-mob mentality and 'everyone else is saying it' fever. Proves he's no leader, just a fervent follower. Everywhere I look, I see a Republican having a snit about the election. Move to Canada, losers. See how you like it there.

text: It's almost a cliché, but the Cable Car cocktail at the legendary Starlight Room atop the Sir Francis Drake Hotel is truly to die for. Served in a cocktail glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar, the Cable Car consists of spiced rum, curaçao, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Its reddish-brown hue contrasts beautifully with the cinnamon -- the colors really do hearken back to the rust tones of the streetcars -- and the flavor is neither too sugary nor too alcoholic. It's the perfect drink for the best time in the Starlight Room: between 6 and 8 p.m., when the atmosphere is low-key, the sun is setting, and San Francisco spreads out below in panoramic beauty. If you've only got an hour or so to kill with visitors, or if you just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the streets, you could do much worse than to flag down one of these Cable Cars.

Well, Sony just unveiled its PlayStation 4. For the most part. Now, everyone wants to see what Microsoft has to offer with their next-generation Xbox. According to a number of developers and other industry professionals, we may find out as soon as April.
It looks like Ustechs, who is a platform holder that has worked with Microsoft on a number of media briefings, has registered the domain XboxEvent.com. Interesting timing, don't you think? Well, hopefully we will see something from Microsoft soon.
I know I am already salivating over the PS4. We will see if Microsoft has anything better to offer. And if they do, it will be hard to choose between these consoles.

Bulbophyllum Elisabeth Ann a pale clone
Bulbophyllum Elisabeth Ann is the cross of Bulb. rothschidianum x Bulb. longissimum. Different clones can vary in the way that they resemble their parents. Most people prefer those clones that show the rich red color of the rothschildianum parent. I have several clones I brought some time ago, this is the most pale of the lot. Unfortunately the yellow color is not bright and it is noticeable only when one looks at the plant closely, the pink color tends to overshadow it.
Labels: Ann, Bulbophyllum, elisabeth, hybrid, longissiumum, orchidee, orquidea, pinkm orchid, red, rothschildianum, yellow

ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Justin Verlander and Cole Hamels were both acquired in midseason trades by teams looking for championships.
Verlander and the Houston Astros needed only two months together last year before winning the World Series. The Texas Rangers are still trying 2½ seasons after getting Hamels.
When the Astros open their title defense on the road against the Rangers on Thursday at 2:35 p.m. at Globe Life Park, the formerly traded aces will be starting against each other.
"Just the two names on the back of the jersey would make you want to show up for this matchup," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "For hitters, it could be very challenging."
Verlander is pitching on opening day for the 10th time in 11 seasons. The 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner started nine of the last 10 openers for the Detroit Tigers since 2008.
"It's a full-circle moment," Verlander said. "Just being out there Game 1 of the season, everybody is so high on expectations and so excited about the upcoming season, the unknown, what's going to happen with their team. It's a unique atmosphere."
Verlander had spent all 13 of his big league seasons with Detroit before approving a trade to Houston just seconds before the Aug. 31 deadline to be eligible for the Astros postseason roster. He went 5-0 with a 1.06 ERA in five September starts, including 11 strikeouts in six innings at Texas in his last regular-season start, and was 4-1 in six postseason games.
This will be the fourth career start on opening day for Hamels, the World Series 2008 World Series MVP for Philadelphia, which won the NL pennant again in 2009. This will be his second opener for the Rangers since he was acquired from the Phillies in July 2015.
The Rangers, who came up short in their two World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011, won the AL West in 2015 and again in 2016. They slipped to 78-84 last season, when division rival Houston won 101 games.
Hamels and Verlander both were traded with contracts through 2019, though this is potentially Hamels' last season in Texas.
The only way Hamels could have guaranteed the $20 million option the Rangers hold for 2019 would have been with 400 combined innings pitched in 2017 and 2018. (The deal has a $6 million buyout). He is 252 short of that going into this season after being limited last year by a strained right oblique.
"Ultimately when I signed the deal, I always said it was a seven-year deal. Mentally, that's how I live by it," Hamels said before spring training. "It's a matter of doing what I know I'm capable of doing. … They've got to make the tough decisions. It's a matter of me just making sure they have to make it."
Some other things to know about Lone Star State season opener:
Houston, favored to win another AL West title, was 21-9 during spring training — only Boston had more wins (22). The Rangers had the fewest spring training wins with nine, and were 0-10-1 in their last 11 games in Arizona.
Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre is starting his 21st big league season, the only active major leaguer with at least 20 seasons. He has 3,048 hits and 462 homers. Bartolo Colon, a 44-year-old pitcher with 20 seasons, has a minor league contract with Texas and expected to be added to the big league roster to pitch the fifth game of the season.
This is the third time the Rangers play an opener at home against the World Series champions but the first at their current ballpark. They opened the 1974 season against the defending champion Oakland Athletics and 1978 against the New York Yankees.

Hawaii Youth Symphony Announces A New Vision
HONOLULU (May 8, 2018) – Hawaii Youth Symphony (HYS) has announced an enhanced vision for the organization, building upon its tradition of helping children develop their fullest potential through orchestral music for more than 50 years. In addition to its acclaimed existing programs, new programs will roll out in the coming months—with an emphasis on ways to engage and inspire even more local communities while expanding opportunities to attract students from across the globe.
"A core principle of our vision is that making music is a right, not a privilege," explains Randy Wong, executive director of Hawaii Youth Symphony. "To meet that promise, we must create more avenues to empower children everywhere with the joy, skills and character building that can come from learning and appreciating music."
A refreshed take on the HYS logo and website will complement new initiatives, to include:
- Neighbor Island Programs supporting and complementing existing musical communities.
- Rural and Under-Resourced Community Programs serving communities in need of music education opportunities.
- Artistic Expansions Programs designed to attract more students locally and abroad.
The Hawaii Youth Symphonyplans to work closely with neighbor island communities to better serve localized needs throughout its programs. It will also leverage a uniquely positioned geography to reach participants across the Pacific Rim and Asia, fostering its position as a global force in the Youth Orchestra community. In addition to classical music education, new programs will include opportunities for keiki to explore a variety of music and instruments, further celebrating the rich culture of the symphony's island home.
"I'm delighted for what the future holds for our students through these important new initiatives and our ongoing programs," said Dr. John Devlin, Hawaii Youth Symphony's newly announced music director taking the helm next month. "Hawaii Youth Symphony's commitment to investing in the development of young people is at the heart of this journey as we navigate new and wider channels to make music education accessible to all."
Established as a non-profit organization in 1964, the Hawaii Youth Symphony promotes and celebrates the importance of music study for academic achievement and social-emotional development. Its programs service youth through orchestral music education, performances and community engagement. Each year, the organization serves more than 600 students ages 7 through 18 from over 100 schools statewide. For more information, call (808) 941-9706 or visit HiYouthSymphony.org.

X17 EXCLUSIVE - Jennifer Aniston Is House Hunting With Boyfriend Justin Theroux
Posted on Wed Jul 20th, 2011 2:45pm PDT By X17 Staff
Westside Estate Agency
Jennifer Aniston, 42, sold her Beverly Hills estate for $38 million a few weeks ago, putting her in the clear to buy a new home.
But Jen's not solo in her search ... X17online can exclusively report that she is taking boyfriend Justin Theroux, 39, house hunting with her!
Since Monday, the two have been visiting five to six mansions daily, including Ellen DeGeneres' Beverly Hills home with wife Portia de Rossi (above), which has been on the market since June for a reported $60 million!
Aniston's Beverly Hills home was originally priced at $42 million -- it was purchased for a reported $38 million by financier Bill Gross.
The Horrible Bosses actress is currently still living in that home, but is, our sources tell us, in a "rush to buy." She might have to be out of that house by the end of the month.
Or, maybe she and Justin are just in a hurry to take things to the next level ...

Children found a family: Maxim in born 2012 and Nicholas born in 2015
Brothers are in a new loving family
5-years-old Maksym is the most curious child ever. While we were setting up the cameras and light stand for shooting, this cheerful boy was touching all the constructions and camera lens. According to the child minders, Maksym feels like getting some new information, so he likes to try something new all the time. The boy is pretty artistical, but at the same time he's modest. This child is in love with going down a slide, and he loves it even more than traditional riding on a merry-go-round.
Maksym has already been taught reading, so he is interested in books about magic and witchcraft. What's more, the boy adores stories about princes and princesses. Maksym is outgoing, so he makes friends with boys and girls easily. The favourite game of the child in the open air is playing soccer and running. Maksym is kind, active and gentle.
Mykola is 2-years-old, and he needs family a lot! He's a very active boy who loves all the people. The boy likes playing outdoors. Also he's interested in playing musical instruments, especially the ones made especially for children. The other day Mykola tried to paint and he liked that very much. At the same time, he's pretty calm and sedulous. The child adores playing with tinker toys, and it can take him the days to build toy blocks.
Mykola's got 2 brothers (2012 birth year and 2010 birth year).
We hope this child is about to find his family very soon!
If you are interested in adopting, please read the memo to the potential adoptive parents, guardians, and foster parents; you can also contact Children's Affairs' service of the Zaporozhia State Administration by telephone (061) 239-01-56 quoting brothers Maxim № 0240503 and Kolenka № 0296822.
Other children who dream of finding a family
If for some reason you are currently not able to adopt (for example, you are a student and do not have a family of your own yet) you are still able to help children at a boarding school (an orphanage with your financial support. Ways you can help include: planning and participating in excursions and trips for children; visiting a child in an orphanage; or helping purchase developmental toys, books, construction sets, and sports equipment.

2013 A True Story Of A Pastor's Bible Research Discipleship
The special ministry of a pastor's discipleship
By: An Anonymous Iowa Pastor
In 1974 the pastor of First Baptist Church in Keokuk, Iowa took an interest
in a well known man in the community, who had recently come to Jesus for salvation.
The man was nearly 30 years old, from a Roman Catholic background and attended
a very formal, non-Bible preaching church.
The pastor, like many people in the area, had noticed a change in that man,
because he was a radio personality and that change was being shared over the air,
not intentionally but naturally.
The new Christian didn't know why, but he welcomed Pastor Reeve's seeking out
a friendship, and the two became good friends. The pastor invested his time, taking
interest in the man's work and life. They traveled together, had meals together and
all the time the pastor taught the new believer. For five years, before the pastor left
for a new assignment, the two men were close.
The new believer came to realize he needed to be in a Bible preaching, soul-winning
church, and moved, but not to First Baptist. My pastor friend never said a negative
word, and never put pressure on his friend to join the church he served. Early in that
time the pastor taught the new believer the importance of Bible study and memorizing
And one day while the man was visiting in the pastor's study, the pastor said, "You
need to pray; surrendering to God, telling Him you'll do whatever He asks." The man
thought that that sounded okay, so he got on his knees next to the pastor's desk and,
out loud, prayed that prayer.
Within the week the pastor contacted the broadcaster and asked him to give a public
invitation at an evangelistic effort in town. The man balked. The pastor said, "Do you
remember the prayer you prayed in my study?"
Several other things came up, like counseling people wanting to accept Jesus, and
every time the man hesitated the pastor would say, "Do you remember that prayer you
prayed in my study?"
One day another pastor in town went to the radio broadcaster and asked him to
actually fill the pulpit and preach at his church while he was on vacation. It didn't take
the man fifteen minutes to arrive at the pastor friend's study, --- scared to death,
to ask what he should do. He said, "Do you remember the prayer…"
"BUT," the young believer interrupted, "this man wants me to PREACH! I can't preach!"
"Do you remember the prayer…."
"NO, NO, NO! That was okay for some stuff, but not this. I can't preach!"
"Do you remember the prayer you prayed in my study? Yes, you can do this,
because it is not you. You told Jesus you would do whatever He asked you to do,
and He is now asking you to fill that pulpit. He will handle it through you."
In slowly surrendering to this challenge the man asked, "Okay, then what should
I preach?" He was asking for a subject or an idea.
But the pastor, in his wisdom said, "The Bible. People need to hear the Word of God.
They don't need your thoughts or ideas. They don't need the most recent headlines.
They need to hear directly from God in His Word. Preach the Bible."
So, in a bit more than three years after I was saved, I stood in a pulpit with my
Bible opened to Romans 12, and preached my very first sermon.
And the Lord did what the pastor said He would do. I wasn't afraid. I was very
nervous, but that was good. And God worked.
After my pastor friend left Keokuk another pastor, Angus McDonald challenged
me to enter the ministry as an evangelist. And while I resisted, I could never shake
hearing my pastor friend say, "Do you remember the prayer?"
Angus' words were, "Look Mike, you have a talent. The only question is; are you
going to use it... or bury it?"
So with no formal education I became an evangelist. God put other pastors
in my life to teach and guide me. Now, as an evangelist, and in my thirtieth year
as a pastor, when a test comes, I can still hear my Pastor friend asking: "Do you
remember the prayer?"
Fellow Pastors, if God gives you a chance to disciple a new believer, do it.
The impact God can have on that man through you is unlimited. I know from
firsthand experience.
Virgil Reeve's Postscript: This story is clear evidence that an average
person can take Bible research seriously and become a disciple of Jesus
Christ with the five qualities that are defined on the "Home" page of
our www.studiedbible.org website.

Bible Reader "Researching Feedback" Introduction
Only after we are in the eternal presence of Jesus Christ, the ultimate Judge
and "the Living Word," will we really know the truth about how important
the "Written Word of God" was in our world, in our Christian communities,
and in our own personal and very private lives.
We will all probably be amazed to discover that "the world's best seller"
is probably also "the world's least read book" in history.
& Who do you know that had read the Bible all the way through?
& Who of us have read the Bible as much and as often as we would like?
& If the Bible is the least read in our own personal lives, how embarrassed will we
all be in heaven to stand face-to-face with the "Master Teacher" and then have
to give an account for how little or much of the Bible was applied with
life-changing results?
& How Christ-like have we become by using God's Word?
Hopefully this series of articles will provide a stimulus to add to our interest
in reading, studying, researching, and applying the truths of God's Word in
ways that might not otherwise happen. You may be challenged, or you might
even be "turned off" by some of what might be considered controversial
in the content. Listen to the Holy Spirit with the Scripture that is quoted
--- that is the most important part. The other ideas may or may not have value for you.
Probably the most awesome challenge in this material will occur at the end with
the "Bible Reader 'I.Q.' Test!" Few people like to be tested. For those who
dare to give it a try, you may want to take it now and then in a few months for
a second time to see what difference reading and researching God's
Word can make in our lives over time. Welcome aboard!

even your first option (Ideas for using a Bible without helps). But I also am a work in progress.

Hi Virgil, I did a "10 second drill" on your site and think it is very attractive.
Good layout. Nice graphics.
It looks like something for "serious" people who have a desire to know the Bible
and need a good guide. …
Keep at it. You are polishing a diamond here and I think it looks and sound better
all the time.
This can be helpful to many people God is motivating to look deeper into His Word
with the kind of great helps you have so well developed.
That is my two cents worth.
11-18-10 ~ Retired Pastor and Denominational Executive
What you are doing on your web site with How to Study the Bible is very
relevant for the average lay person. They would be greatly benefited.
The more people, both Christian as well as those not yet saved, we can
get into a serious study of The Word, the better they will be, the better the
local church will be and the greater our world will be.
In this very difficult and challenging time in our world's history, the answers
to our questions and problems continue to be revealed in His Word...
to those who study, learn and apply.

Virgil.. Your website is awesome!
I find it easy to navigate around, and the directions are clear and precise.
I have several Study Bibles and daily feast on the Word as my new schedule
11-20-10 Winfield, IL Treasured website friend's input from our first e-mail
I LIKE the new "abbreviated" format.
It is concise, to the point and will more likely be read.
As long as the font is the same on the entire page it will be more appealing.
Good job!!
11-27-10 College Church - Wheaton, IL Homaker & Bible Study Course Author:
I have just spent some time going through your wonderful new website.
It is a huge accomplishment and seems to me to be really needed!!
Concerning the layout, it's well organized and easily followed.
It seems like a lot of women I've been in Bible study with (as well as
some published women's Bible studies) want us to read the Bible and
apply it to our own personal lives, without first asking what the text
+ They want to ask, "What is God saying to ME through this passage?"
+ without asking with the author intended to say or looking at the
+ or reading any outside commentaries.
I love the way you link over and over the "study" of the Bible with
the personal aspect (which some people don't see).
Also, you make the "study" part seem fun, not onerous, by showing
us the wealth of information most Christians already possess in the
study Bibles that they already own.
Thanks so much for sharing your new website with us!
I think it could really help a lot of people.

"I have begun a ritual (in the morning) as time allows and have started in the

I pray for the Holy Spirit to open my eyes that I may behold WONDERFUL things
from God's law!!!)
I had no idea the NLT had a parallel version! I am doing my Bible research the
old-fashioned way: BIG TABLE with KJV, NKJV, NIV, NAS, NLT, ESV, Amplified,

[4] An Amazing Individual Bible Reading History Record
I was very excited by this report of woman in our Decatur pastorate who
almost never missed a service --- Sunday AM & PM and mid-week.
She was quiet, un-assuming, and very sweet-spirited.
While visiting in her home I reluctantly ventured to ask, "Have you
ever read the Bible through?"
Immediately she said: "Oh, yes.... every year since I was nine years old."
I was non-plused and in awe. I was also curious to know what the total
was. I responded:
"I am not in the habit of asking a woman her age,
but I would really like to know how many times you have read the Bible
"Simply and humbly she answered: "Seventy-six!" You do the math!
Is that not an inspiring story? Her Christ-like life and spirit was a
quiet testimony to the impact of a lifetime of faithful reading of
God's Word.
I have told this story times without number.
I want to thank her again "W-I-G-T-H!" (When-I-Get-To-Heaven!)

A Fifty Year Bible Student & Ladies Group Study Leader - Oak Park, IL.
"Thank you for introducing me to the New Living Translation Life Application
Study Bible.
I have found it to be priceless. It immediately became a vital part of my
morning devotions along with my NIV Study Bible which had regularly been
instrumental in helping each day start in the right direction for me.
I have found that without detracting in any way from Scriptural authority
this new translation has simplified the meaning of some more obscure verses.
It has given a clearer understanding of the true intent of the biblical passage.
The notes below have added significantly to the impact of applying in my
own life the truths revealed.
Since receiving my copy, I have enthusiastically recommended it to several
others who, in turn, have ordered copies and who have expressed
appreciation likewise for its spiritual enrichment in their lives."
University of Alabama Graduate Student
"Dear Uncle Virgil, … Thank you for taking the time to send me the link
to your new website. . . . Recently, the Spirit has stirred within me a
passion for reading God's Word. I've known Christ since I was nine years
old, but until now had never devoted any significant time to searching
the Scriptures. I therefore find my discovery of your website evidence
of God's hand at work. ...
I currently use three study Bibles: The LASB (NLT 96), The Apologetics
Study Bible (HCSB), and The ESV Study Bible. I currently use the ESV as
my go-to Bible (I've come to prefer its more literal translation), but I
regularly consult the other two as well. ... I began using multiple study
Bibles fairly recently. My first study Bible, the LASB, belonged to
"Nonnie" (maternal grandmother) and it was one of her favorites (it is
one of my most treasured possessions). I've used it for quite a few years ."
[6] An Inspiring Classic Personal "Studied Study
Bible Story"
Virginia Retired Nurse & Housewife - Life-long Bible Student
Evelyn's shared her Study Bible Story with us. She listened patiently as
I shared my own personal passion for the LASB-NLT Study Bible.
Her response was to reply politely:
"I already enjoy using the NIV Thompson Chain. I will not part with it.
I do not need another Study Bible. I have worn the covers off and have
had it re-bound."
Study Bible. I expressed appreciation for her fine record of research Bible
history and her obvious devotion to and love for God's Word.
(Few people ever have to re-bind their Bibles.)
She then agreed to hear my "sales pitch" about the seven research features
of the LASB. I encouraged her to "Double Her Study Bible Pleasure"
by using TWO study Bibles. "No two Study Bibles are alike.
Each one has a unique contribution to our Bible research," I assured her.
Sometime after she returned to her Virginia home she reported that
she had purchased the LASB and was enjoying using it side-by-side with
her Thompson Chain NIV. As years passed she found that she was
making copies of LASB charts and inserting them into the pages of
her NIV Study Bible.
On July 13, 2010 she sent this note: "Thought of you both this morning as
I was reading the Tyndale Bible Virgil recommended. I'm using it solely now.
It is soooooo clear."
what she said:
"My cardboard-back LASB - NLT I gave away January of 2010, having
bought on sale my bonded leather LASB-NLT in September 2009.
I'm using it every day, often with my NIV, but more often alone.
soooo vivid, the scripture stays in my mind longer because I can so

[7] Author & Editor's Personal Bible Research History
You may want to ask this author this very fair question: ...
Answer: In addition to my weekly study for two sermons on Sunday and
mid-week group Bible study for over 40 years, here is my personal record.
& & & & ~ Four times through the Bible.
1. In 1955 my first time through was as a required reading assignment for a Moody
Bible Institute Bible synthesis course using my Scofield Reference Bible -- KJV.
2. In 1961-1962 for a Northern Baptist Seminary Bibles Survey Course our required
reading assignment called for us to use the Revised Standard Version.
3. The third time was in our "Through the Bible" study series where I preached
a sermon from each of the Bible books at Decatur, IL – 1982-3 using the Good News
Bible as they congregation read along with me.
4. The fourth reading was in 1992 in a Chinese church pastorate. We used the
NIVSB with the motto: "The Bible Thru In '92!" and we preached a single sermon
from a key chapter or passage chosen from the Bible book of the week.
At the same time I led a separate midweek overview study of the Bible book
that the people had read with me that week.
In Fremont, NE – 1984-5 we completed much of the Old Testament using
The Open Bible in the New King James Version.
& Over the past 60 years we have personally used 7 Study Bibles in 7 different
versions. Now our Study Bible shelf holds over 20 different Study Bibles that
are just to the left of my computer. Fifteen years ago in October of 1996 I began
using the New Living Translation LASB until the 2004 edition became available.
To date it is my favorite "go to Bible" that I use with my handy trim-line NLT
"go-for" cross referencing Bible. My 2011 library desk has 8 of my favorite Study
Bibles --- all published since 2000. In 2011 I have added the ESV Student's Study
Bible, and my new favorite NLT Parallel Study Bible that condenses the Life
Application Study Bible and the New Living Translation Study Bible into one.
The Parallel Study Bible is my portable RESEARCH BIBLE to take to church and
study groups. In 2013 I secured the Chronological Life Application Study Bible
and am learning to use it along side my NLT Life Application Study Bible.
You may also be inclined to ask: "Are you bragging or complaining?"
My answer a firm, "NEITHER!"
I just wish I could go back to 1952 when I bought my first Scofield Reference
Bible. I can only imagine what difference it would have made if I had had the
NLT-LASB along with the NIVSB which have an everyday vocabulary with
which to "Double My Study Bible Research Pleasure."
Probably many faithful Bible readers are somewhat shy about what they
may consider to be "bragging" if they talk about their Bible reading
or research history.
The Bible says: "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!" (Psalm 107:2)
I, personally, am and have always been very INSPIRED by these kinds
of testimonies. I feel sure that many others will also be encouraged and
inspired by examples of Bible Reading Success.
I encourage you to prayerfully submit YOUR STORY!

[9] Satire from a Bible's Point-of-View
& Diary Of A Bible &
JANUARY: A busy time for me. Most of the family decided to read me
through this year. They kept me busy for the first two weeks, but
they have forgotten me now.
FEBRUARY: Clean-up time. I was dusted yesterday and put in my place.
My owner did use me for a few minutes last week. He had been in an
argument and was looking up some references to prove he was right.
MARCH: Had a busy day first of the month. My owner was elected
president of the PTA & used me to prepare a speech.
APRIL: Grandpa visited us this month. He kept me on his lap for an
hour reading from 1 Peter 5:5-7. He seems to think more of me than
do some people in my own household.
MAY: I have a few green stains on my pages. Some spring flowers
were pressed in my pages.
JUNE: I look like a scrapbook. They have stuffed me full of newspaper
clippings - one of the girls got married.
JULY: They put me in a suitcase today. I guess we are off on vacation.
I wish I could stay home; I know I'll be closed up in this thing for at
least two weeks.
AUGUST: Still in the suitcase.
SEPTEMBER: Back home at last and in my old familiar place. I have a
lot of company. Two women's magazines and four comic books are
stacked on top of me. I wish I could be read as much as they are.
OCTOBER: They read me a little bit today. One of them is very sick.
Right now I am sitting in the center of the coffee table. I think the
Pastor is coming by for a visit.
NOVEMBER: Back in my old place. Somebody asked today if I were
a scrapbook.
DECEMBER: The family is busy getting ready for the holidays.
I guess I'll be covered up under wrapping paper & packages again..
.just as I am every Christmas.

After posting the Loyal To None 7", I got a request to also post their split 7" with Vision Of Disorder. So here it is. This split 7" was released on Hearsay Records in 1994. The only other record I own that was released on Hearsay Records is the Converge/Overcast split 7", which I'm fairly certain was released without either bands consent. So I'm not sure what's up with this split 7" either. Anyways, the Vision Of Disorder tracks on this 7", 'D.T.O.' and 'No Regret', would also appear later on on their 1995 demo (so this 'D.T.O.' is not the version from their '94 demo). Great side with VOD being at the top of their game and it does mean I tend to not listen to the Loyal To None side as much as I should. Which is a shame really cuz their side is great as well, and if you like their self-titled 7" I posted before, you'll love these 2 songs as well. No idea where LTN's recordings are from or anything, or if they're indeed recorded specifically for this split 7". Anyways, this is a solid split, so check it out.

Quick Hits of the Week
- Each person who comes to me for financial coaching knows that they need to make some changes. Part of my job is to identify what obstacles they've set up that keep them from changing, and teach them to overcome those obstacles as quickly as they can. Dave Ramsey's team has identified a few of the really common hurdles that we set in our own way. What's your biggest obstacle?
- Why should we go above and beyond? Because it's a privilege. Seth Godin on doing the extra work.
- Speaking of doing the extra work: Holy labor of Lego love, Batman! Every kid is into Legos, but some people take it to impressive extremes. Fantastic work, all around. Parts of it are automated, too. Check out the whole gallery, including the video tour.
- If you are serious about the shrinking of individual civil liberties you should look at this chart. On the other hand, if you're primarily interested in reducing wasteful government spending, you should take a look at this chart. If you have any questions, or want to learn more, you should go here. We can argue over the minutia presented, but the overall message is correct, and it's time this country made a change.
- I wanted to hit this with a false air of seriousness, but my inner pre-teen has been giggling like an insane clown since I found it. So, it's my pleasure to introduce Dr. Chew and share her work with these amazing turtles! Hee hee…bathroom humor.
Is there something valuable or important or cool or funny or weird or awesome out there I missed this week? I can't hit it all, but you should let me know about it by dropping me a line or sharing it in the comments below! I'd appreciate the heads up.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

A type of pastel was already used in the 1400s but the technique was completed only in the 18th century. A pastel drawing is very sensitive to touch, and the finished result has to be fixed - for this you need fixative. To prevent unwanted effects, the fixative can be sprayed over the work.

More Companies Encouraging Employees to Get In Shape
It's about time. Wish the government would do more, especially in Public Schools!
In the past two years, many employers already have adopted financial incentives to encourage people to lose weight, join a fitness program or get a physical exam, according to a survey last month by the National Business Group on Health.
"There was a long time when employers felt this was a personal issue," said Helen Darling , president of the organization, "but in the last five years, the dramatically increasing health care costs because of obesity have changed their minds."
Employers have seen serious problems related to obesity, she said, including higher rates of depression, absenteeism, low productivity and more medical claims. An overweight employee costs employers $5,000 more a year in health costs than a healthy-weight individual.

Good Exercise Program for the Golden Years
You know how important exercise is, as we grow older. Here are a few suggestions. I start by standing outside behind the house and, with a five pound potato sack in each hand, extend my arms straight out to my sides and hold them there as long as I can. After a few weeks I moved up to 10 pound potato sacks, then 20 pound potato sacks and finally I got to where I could lift a 50 pound potato sack in each hand and hold my arms straight out for more than a full minute! Next, I started putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but I would caution you not to overdo it at this level.

Our Showroom
It's finally time! Time to turn your garage door plans into reality. Choosing the right door for your home is a very important decision. A garage door should harmonize with the exterior of your house, it should have the proper material to last through harsh temperatures and most importantly, it should fit your taste and budget.
Our showroom in Ellington has some of our best products. Sure, shopping online is practical, but seeing the garage doors in person gives you so much more accurate information that you wouldn't be able to find on the Internet. Our technicians here will show you your different available options, always making sure your needs are met. They will show you the door's thickness and its material. They will show you the Garaga difference that makes our products' quality superior to many others.
What we'll need from you:
Bring the following information with you:
- New construction:
- Construction plans,
- Color sample of your home's exterior
- Renovations:
- Dimensions of your current garage door (width and height)
- Photos of your current home.
Come by our showroom today and see the endless possibilities available to you! Contact us today to schedule an appointment. We will be waiting for you!

Happy Thanksgiving!
"We can choose to be grateful
no matter what."
To be grateful is a conscious choice, one that requires constant reflection and awareness in order for all of us to remember all that we have. It is not always an easy choice; sometimes life challenges us in ways that make it seem like there is nothing good left. In these times, it is especially important to remember all that we do have, material-wise, and more importantly, the people we have in our lives and the strength that has carried us throughout the many trials we have faced thus far. The struggles we each face are different in type and degree but they all serve a common purpose, to reveal who we are at our core. Difficulties have a unique ability to shed light on what we value and what we take for granted. What we do with this knowledge ultimately defines us going forward. So on this day, where we celebrate the importance of gratitude, let's make a promise to ourselves to choose gratitude every day, no matter what.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful day with your loved ones!

So, there's really not much to tell. I'm a person of many interests, and talking to others about theirs.
So, I guess that's it for now!
