So this last Sunday was an interesting one…
I usually spend 2-3 hours on a Wednesday morning preparing for Sunday's worship. You know, praying, worshipping, and flicking through my music file…
I must say sometimes selecting songs seems un-spiritual. Sometimes i feel i need to hear God speak almost audibly before I pick one out.
But most times I'll just be paging through my file and a song will jump out at me. Like as if it's saying, you need to sing me. Yes, me.
So by lunch time last week Wednesday I pretty much had our Sunday setlist down. I had a rough idea of where I planned our worship to go, trusting that I'd been hearing God through prayer and stuff…
I woke up Sunday morning to re-read through the setlist, read through the book of Ephesians again (more about that later) and pray.
God said, "You need to sing Break Every Chain."
I was like, really? Ok sure.
Instead of spending Sunday morning before Church doing our sound-check and working through our setlist, I quickly taught the song to the band, me being the ONLY one who has EVER heard it.
The team were on it like no man's business. We had it taped in 30min, and it not only sounded great, but there was an expectation in all of us that God was going to move powerfully that day. And He did.
I love it when God springs surprises on me.
I love it when He stretches me and the team.
I love it that when we think we have it all figured, God comes in and messes things up.
Isn't that what leading worship in faith is all about? Reminding ourselves that we can't and should not do what we do in our own wisdom and strength?
I love it.
Here are the chords to the song. Really simple but profoundly powerful.
Break Every Chain
Words & music by Will Reagan and United Pursuit Band [we do the Jesus Culture version]
Time: 4/4 | BPM: 68
Intro: F#m – D – A – E

Bought our redemption, Heaven's gates
F#m – D – A – E

There's an army rising up…

NSDHL gene
NAD(P) dependent steroid dehydrogenase-like
The NSDHL gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that is involved in the production (synthesis) of cholesterol. Cholesterol is a lipid (fat) that is obtained from foods that come from animals, particularly egg yolks, meat, fish, and dairy products. The body can also make (synthesize) its own cholesterol. During cholesterol synthesis, the NSDHL enzyme participates in one of several steps that convert a molecule called lanosterol to cholesterol. Specifically, the NSDHL enzyme removes a carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms (a methyl group) in the conversion of lanosterol to cholesterol.
Although high cholesterol levels are a well-known risk factor for heart disease, the body needs some cholesterol to develop and function normally. Before birth, cholesterol interacts with signaling proteins that control early development of the brain, limbs, genital tract, and other structures. It is also an important component of cell membranes and myelin, the fatty covering that insulates nerve cells. Additionally, cholesterol is used to make certain hormones and is important for the production of acids used in digestion (bile acids).
At least 18 mutations in the NSDHL gene have been found to cause congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform erythroderma and limb defects (CHILD syndrome). Most of these mutations change single protein building blocks (amino acids) in the NSDHL enzyme. A few other mutations delete part or all of the NSDHL gene. Each of the identified mutations likely prevents the production of any functional NSDHL enzyme, which disrupts the normal synthesis of cholesterol within cells. A shortage of this enzyme may also allow potentially toxic byproducts of cholesterol synthesis to build up in the body's tissues. Researchers suspect that low cholesterol levels and/or an accumulation of other substances disrupts the growth and development of many parts of the body. It is not known, however, how a disturbance in cholesterol synthesis leads to the specific features of CHILD syndrome.

Else Cederborg Poems
Magic Coat Of Feathers
I took out my magic coat of feathers not only to fly high above any earth bound worms on feet or to descend as a bird of prey to feast on these neighbours of mine to devour what they set highest: their weak and shapeless bodies
Reality Zone
One thing is for sure I'm not the 'me' you know neither are you the one I know all of us live in a Twilight Zone of 'I''s
A joke, you said hearts aflame for fun? Burnt to cinders as a joke? Yes, you're right, let me stew your heart
Unfathomable Death
All the waves caress her young body at will dead in waters, tumbled like sea weed washed ashore, a soulless object with no will the little waves lick her body like lovers
Hi There
Hello there! Hi.... somewhere something is crying out I wonder to whom
Evilness Came To See Me
Evilness came to see me she was followed by her friend, Ms Pain 'Are you in, dear? ' they yelled I kept quiet, hiding in the cupboard
Many-coloured dreams this night all of them soared high only I stayed behind
The darkness holds each of us tight in darkness we are being cradled held close like in the tender arms of a lover or maybe the arms of our mothers, long ago
In A Nut Shell
Walking in and out back and forth stumbling, falling, dancing, running looking for loop holes into Space
The Parcel
A parcel, you said for you and nobody else wrapped in blue tied with a pink ribbon
How come? A thief in my pocket another one in my purse not to speak of the one invading my account
Pulses Of Life
This pulse, this life that's what it's about blood rushing, going at a speed steering me into complicity with passions
Airy Dreams
Dangling from nowhere flapping non-existent wings even moving in airy clouds no foothold, but still, quite safe
Day Kisses
The kisses of the day lack darkness Nights turn kisses into little arrows the bow is still vibrant from the shot Was this what I wanted, this passion?

Day Kisses
The kisses of the day lack darkness
Nights turn kisses into little arrows
the bow is still vibrant from the shot
Was this what I wanted, this passion?
How am I to tell?
It didn't ask, it just moved in
there it was, all alive
an unexpected lodger in the home called me

Every other Sunday, The Simple Dollar reviews a personal development, personal productivity, or entrepreneurship book of interest.
Whenever I see clutter, I see money lost. For one, the clutter itself is usually made up of unused items that have value. Books, decorations, games, DVDs, and so on – they all cost money to purchase and many have at least some degree of resale value. For another, clutter takes up time, and time is money. It takes longer to find things. It takes longer to clean. It takes longer to rearrange and to organize.
Thus, over time, I've begun to look at clutter as an enemy of sorts. Stuff that just takes up space, particularly stuff with very limited aesthetic appeal, is stuff that can easily be eliminated.
That's not to say that I'm entirely successful in my war on clutter. There are many places in our home that are quite cluttered (starting with my office, for example), but I often have difficulty sifting through that clutter and determining what exactly I should keep – and what I should get rid of.
Throw Out Fifty Things by Gail Blanke offers an interesting solution in the title itself. Blanke's premise is that by going through your cluttered spaces and choosing fifty things to get rid of, you push yourself through the psychological barriers that cause you to create clutter in the first place.
Blanke identifies four key rules of disengagement (how to decide what to get rid of):
One. If it – the thing, the belief or conviction, the memory, the job, even the person – weighs you down, clogs you up, or just plain makes you feel bad about yourself, throw it out, give it away, sell it, let it go, move on.
Two. If it (see above!) just sits there, taking up room and contributing nothing positive to your life, throw it out, give it away, sell it, let it go, move on. If you're not moving forward, you're moving backward. Throwing out what's negative helps you rediscover what's positive.
Three. Don't make the decision – whether to toss it or keep it – a hard one. If you have to weigh the pros and cons for too long or agonize about the right thing to do, throw it out.
Four. Don't be afraid. This is your life we're talking about. The only one you've got for sure. You don't have the time, energy, or room for physical or psychic waste.
An interesting start, but is there more meat on the bone than that? Let's dig in and find out.
Getting Rid of the Physical Stuff
Throw Out Fifty Things starts with a room-by-room walkthrough of one's house (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, attic, and garage), highlighting lots of specific areas and specific tactics for getting rid of clutter.
A few particular themes seem to come up throughout this section.
First, memories are in your head and in your heart, not in items. Many people have closets crammed full of things that are kept for sentimental reasons, but they're things that will almost never be looked at again – and when they think about the prospect of digging through all that stuff, it's not a happy thought. So suck it up and go through it. Find the stuff that you'd actually like to have out and about for decoration because it really gives you a positive feeling – then chuck the rest. Seriously.
Second, just because you used an item a lot in the past doesn't mean you have a use for it now. You read that book a year ago, spending an hour with it each night for weeks – and now it's finished. Will you ever read it again? If not, toss it. Apply that same litmus test to everything you remember using frequently in the past – will you use it frequently again?
Another regular theme: digitize it. Got old documents in boxes taking up space? Scan them in and burn the originals. Got lots of old pictures in photo albums? Scan them in and share the digital images with your friends.
Your Office: Paring Down the Professional Clutter
Here, the "digital" theme really comes to the forefront. In a professional environment, there's really not an extensive need to maintain a huge amount of printed documents – they take up space and are very cumbersome.
Blanke encourages anyone in an office environment to digitize everything they can. Scan documents, make sure they're searchable (most modern scanners do this, enabling you to save a scanned document as a searchable PDF), and save them in a place that's backed up regularly. You can turn boxes and boxes and boxes of documents into digital files stored on a hard drive – and it's now searchable and much easier to use.
Yes, this takes a lot of time. It's a tremendous project, in fact, but if you feel like you're simply overrun with documents in your office, this is the way to go.
Another interesting tactic: get rid of old digital files that are simply outdated. Stick them in an archive folder somewhere and simply forget about them. I've found that most presentations and documents that are more than a year old or so tend to age quite seriously, so it's usually best just to archive them (in case you ever need them again for some reason) and get them out of the way. Out of sight, out of mind – and you're ready to create new ideas.
Attacking the Mental Mess
Here, Throw Out Fifty Things dips heavily into the "power of positive thinking" realm. Blanke argues that mental clutter is just as limiting as physical clutter and encourages people to get rid of it. A few examples:
"Throw out" negative terms you use to mentally describe yourself. Instead, focus on the positives about yourself. Visualize situations where you come through and succeed instead of imagining scenarios where you fail.
Let the past be the past. Particularly failures. Once you've failed, reliving it does nothing but bring you down. Absorb the lessons you can, then move on – don't think about the mistakes you once made.
You're not perfect. No one is. Stop focusing on your little mis-steps – they're going to happen. Instead, work on preparing yourself for success in the future. Picture yourself doing everything right in the future.
You've grown. You're not the same person you were ten years ago. Look at the things you define as your true interests and passions. Quite often, many of these things simply don't match up with our self-definition. That means it's time to toss out those old impressions.
Stepping into the Clearing
Once you've eliminated the clutter, what's left? It's likely much more minimal than before with just the essentials left behind. Those essentials are a fertile breeding ground for some essential redefinitions of your life.
Things that reflect who you are. If you strip things down to a minimal home decor, you're left with only items that make you feel positive. From this state, you can be very careful about adding new things – again, add only stuff that contributes to your overall positive sense.
Culture that reflects who you are. Perhaps you've realized you're no longer passionate about alternative rock and now you're interested in personal development. That means you ca stop using mindspace for those old things and devote your time and mental energy to the areas that reflect where you are right now.
Ideas that reflect who you are. Getting rid of the many things cluttering your mind and your life frees you up to explore new ideas that previously intrigued you. Your kitchen is clear of clutter, your time is free of unfulfilling activities, and your mind has let go of old concepts – time to learn how to cook.
Is Throw Out Fifty Things Worth Reading?
Take a look around you. Do you feel happy about what you see? Are you surrounded by things that provide real value to you and are easy to find, or are you surrounded by mountains of stuff (and simply looking at that stuff makes you feel bad)?
Throw Out Fifty Things is a very thought-provoking book if you find yourself in the latter camp. If you can actually get out of the chair and do the things that Blanke suggests (and in this review, I've mostly just focused on general themes – there are a lot of great specific tips in the book), you'll go a long way toward improving the environment around you and the environment in your head, too.
If you're already organized, Throw Out Fifty Things won't do much for you. If you're not organized – and you're willing to try – Throw Out Fifty Things can be a godsend.

Mobily marks Saudisation of its call centres
Mobily customer call centres in Jeddah and Dammam expanded for new Saudi staff
Mobily has expanded its call and customer care centres in Jeddah and Dammam, as part of its drive to nationalize its call centre staff.
The Saudi telco has expanded the centres to accommodate the newly recruited Saudi employees. This comes only five weeks after Mobily announced it was starting to nationalize its call centers.
A celebration to mark the event was held yesterday. The event was attended by Chief Customer Care Officer Ismail AlGhamdi and a number of Mobily senior executives.
"Saudizing the call centres has been our goal for some time. We have succeeded in achieving this feat in record time by the grace of Allah then the efforts of the Mobily team and our partners. The team worked around the clock to recruit, interview, and appoint Saudi cadres. In tandem, training and preparation were taking place to provide service to our customers along with the installation of new equipment and programming to ensure optimum quality in record time," commented Ismail AlGhamdi.
In addition to developing the call centers and training the Saudi teams managing them, Mobily also developed and modernized its digital- and self-services thus giving customers greater control flexibility.
Mobily also developed the female call and customer care centers enabling female employees to perform their work within a convenient environment, noting that 25% of call centre staff is female.

Internet!! Sheesh, the time I have had!! So remember how the last two years or so I've been sick? Well guess what?? Last week I got sick again with something else on top of the something else that I already had from something else. It was wonderful. Like someone taking a hammer, wrapping it in the plot from "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and bludgeoning my face to death with it. Like your "socially aware" facebook friend not only littering all over your facebook feed with their "relevant thoughts" but also inviting you to play Farmville with them… hourly. Anyway though, I seem to be better now. Again. So before some other plague comes and attacks my spleen-heart let's look at the box office shall we? What's been going at the theater? What's in theaters? And why is Pandora playing "When Will My Life Begin" from Tangled??? Stop that.
The Box Office Top Ten 12/23
10. Thor: The Dark World
Yup, Thor's still hanging around. Punching people with hammers and having witty word-play with Loki or something like that. I'm totally okay with this. This is week 7 of the Thor 2 experience and given that I already wrote about a thousand words in which I practically proposed to this movie I feel there's not really much more I need to say here.
9. Dhoom 3
I have no idea what this movie is about… let me look at the synopsis here… Okay I read the synopsis and I still have no idea what it's about. I'm assuming if you liked Dhoom 1 and 2 though this movie is for you. If you haven't seen those movies you probably already skipped this paragraph and are midway through the next one, so I suppose at this point I'm just padding the length of this article and creating a really REALLY long run-on sentence… and now I forget what I was doing… let's just move on and pretend this whole thing never happened. Kind of like what I'm going to do with Dhoom 3!!
8. Walking with Dinosaurs
Apparently this moving is about Dinosaurs. Who walk. Frankly this movie has gotten TERRIBLE reviews so I'm just gonna leave it at that and move on. If you're looking for a kids movie to watch, just hang out and wait for Frozen and if you've already seen Frozen hang out and wait for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty which at least has gotten mixed reviews. Whereas critics have universally agreed that this movie may have, indirectly, been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs due to said dinosaurs wanting to make sure they weren't around to watch this film.
7. Tyler Perry's: A Madea Christmas
Here's a film confession: I've never watched a whole Madea movie. I've seen bits and pieces here and there but here's another film confession: I find it SUPREMELY creepy that Madea is played by a man. Like I can't sit there and separate myself from the idea that I'm watching a man dressed as an old woman dispensing funny but heartfelt advise to other young people. It's like Mrs. Doubtfie except minus all the Robin Williams parts and I just can't do that.
6. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Another movie that I already reviewed but let me summarize it for those of you who don't want to scroll down the page and read me making fun of Pita for a couple paragraphs. It's a very good movie, better overall drive then the first film and a much tighter experience then the first film; though it does falter the tiniest bit at the end. There, five people just started wondering why I don't just summarize my reviews that well all the time the answer being: I have no idea… less room for Pita jokes I guess.
5. Saving Mr. Banks
Walt Disney's movie about Walt Disney making a movie (yeah, you thought my sentences were confusing before. Well buckle up Cupcake) rolls in at number 5. Tom Hanks (who I don't like much) and Emma Thompson (who I like a lot) star in a movie about the making of a movie that came to be called "Mary Poppins." The movies gotten great reviews and actually seems to be very interesting so if you're at all interested in the concept I'd definitely recommend checking it out.
4. American Hustle
A con-man movie starring fat-Christian Bale, puffy haired Bradley Cooper, and Elvis-haired Jeremy Renner American Hustle has gotten pretty good reviews and seems to live up to the potential of its Director and Cast. I recommend it but it is rated R so it's probably not your family Christmas movie destination. It and Saving Mr. Banks are both desperately trying to bait down an Oscar so expect a certain amount of film snobbery and the occasional long monologue about the meaning of life while the main actors wink at the camera and "accidentally" pose in the exact statue position of the Oscar-man.
3. Frozen
This is actually your family Christmas movie experience. Frozen has continued to perform well at the box office and get great reviews from critics and movie-goers alike so bring your family out to this one then home to prepare for the eventual world domination of the Walt Disney company who (all joking aside) have THREE movies on this list. What do they feed those people?
2. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
A comedy starring Will Ferrell, some other people who probably aren't as funny, and your sense of nostalgia Achorman 2 couldn't quite top the number one movie but opened very respectively and actually got pretty decent reviews so I guess if you're in the mood for a comedy this is the one for you. As a person who is rarely in the mood for a straight comedy I will probably not be partaking in the mustache but hey, who am I to rain on your parade? To moisten your march? To precipitate on your procession? Nobody. That's who.
1. The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
I haven't actually gotten out to watch this yet (see above paragraphs on my raging disease filled December) but everyone seems to be of the mind that this is a much better movie then its predecessor "The Hobbit: Conversations with Old People." The movie picks up from where the last movie left off, directly after the eagles stranded the dwarves on top of a mountain for no reason. Seriously though, it's definitely worth the watch regardless of your thoughts on the first movie, and Smaug (who actually appears in this movie) is the legit!!
So there you goes guys… or go guy… or go-go… So there you go. The top ten movies of the box office! Thanks for sticking around guys, hopefully all will be well, I will be well, and you will be well as we head into what I hope is a very merry Christmas for you all.

What can this extension do?
MediaWiki supports a discussion model called talk pages. These are regular wiki pages whose only distinction is that they are associated with a subject page. That is, these two types of pages are always linked to each other, a subject page and a talk page. Since talk pages are regular wiki pages, they suffer many usability shortcomings. This extension addresses some of these shortcomings by customizing talk pages including:
- Minimal threading - Subject headings are used to identify what discussion a particular comment belongs to. These headings are not dated and cannot be sorted.
- Users explicitly sign their comments - signatures are automatically added to the discussions.
- Transparent response mechanism - users can reply to existing comments or create new ones using the [new][edit][reply]
- Conversation tracking - the [reply] allows users to specify existing objects (sections) in the system, and effectively track comments one has left, responses received (regardless of the location), and so on.
For a more complete analysis, check Erik Möller's article, from which the above was liberally plagiarized.
When a new post is created, the extension automatically tags with user information and posting date. Much like a threaded discussion listserv, it allows response to individual posts and organizes. Still allows user standard user editing. Tags do not appear on article or other pages, limited to discussion and 're:' is automatically added to replies.
Once installed it can be enabled or disabled using the global variable below the inclusion (Enabled by default with the inclusion):
$wgSectionThreadingOn = True; /* Enabled */
Deprecated Hooks
The following hooks were deprecated in MW 1.14. The current version of this extension will not use the deprecated hooks if you are running on MW 1.14 or greater, but will use them if you install the extension on a MW version before then.
- Version 1.4 can now use MediaWiki:Editsection-brackets to set the brackets for links.
- This extension does not work with MediaWiki development releases r70940 until r74697. A minor oversight in upgrade to core code Linker.php was corrected and fixed this.
- Version 1.3 with automatic indent and highlight where to add text. Fixed to work before and after 1.11 now available. Thanks to Daniel Brice for a great idea and code on the automatic indent.
- GREAT NEWS! The enhancement request Allow Developers to add links to edit sections via hooks has been made. This means no patches are required to install this extension if you are using REL1_11 or greater.
This was written as a formatting extension to Talk_Pages, rather than a replacement. The talk pages can still be used as a free-forum, but threads can be incorporated. It also offers the additional flexibility of allowing threads to be modified or removed, like any other wiki information set.
There is another extension that is focused more on the "newsgroup" type of approach, LQT or LiquidThreads. If you are looking for a highly structured environment with additional functionality (like sorting, email notification, . . .), you may want to consider LiquidThreads.
Using Wikis for project management and collaboration. Many of the older users were much more comfortable with the listserv approach. This is a transitional path for them.
- 下载文件,并将其放置在您
- 将下列代码放置在您的LocalSettings.php的底部:
wfLoadExtension( 'DiscussionThreading' );
- 完成 – 在您的wiki上导航至Special:Version,以验证扩展已成功安装。
致使用MediaWiki 1.29或更早版本的用户:
wfLoadExtension()。 如果您需要在早期版本(MediaWiki 1.29和更早版本)中安装此扩展,而不是
wfLoadExtension( 'DiscussionThreading' );,您需要使用:
require_once "$IP/extensions/DiscussionThreading/DiscussionThreading.php";
- 1.4 - Can set brackets and technical upgrade
- Uses MediaWiki:Editsection-brackets to set the brackets for links
- Upgraded to use the DoEditSectionLink hook instead of the deprecated EditSectionLink hook, although for backward compatibility, the extension will automatically still use the EditSectionLink hook for sites using MW < 1.14.
- 1.3 - Automatic Indentation Using JavaScript
- Automatically indents replies and highlights where to add text (thanks to Daniel Brice)
- Fix so extension works before and after MW Ver 1.11 (patches still rqd before 1.11) installation instructions if updating and MW version is < 1.11.
- 1.2 - siebrand updated to use current extension standards (THANKS!)
- 1.1 - Updated to be forward compatible with release 1.11, bug fix
- Rob Church made mods that simplifies, beautifies, etc. the hook which is included in the next release, needed to change extension to make consistent
- Fixed bug where I forgot to declare $wgSectionThreadingOn as a global in one subroutine - caused a php error to display
- Need to download both the patches and the extension - they must be updated as a set.
- 1.0
- greatly reduces patching - completely dependent on hooks, although needs 2 hooks in linker.php to execute
- Added [new] link in section header that starts a new thread at the bottom
- Defaults to add new comment when discussion page first entered
- If previous patches applied, EditPage.php can be reverted to appropriate release version - patches no longer required
- Between Version 0.0 and 0.1, changed to use the name 'DiscussionThreading' instead of the 'AddCommentSection'. The comment was vestigial and not fully descriptive.
- Extension:DiscussionThreading/doc - Installation Instructions and other documentation
- Extension:LiquidThreads - Alternative

An extremely popular movie circulating on the Web these days is known as Zeitgeist. A movie where it can be concluded that one of its primary objective is to discredit Christianity and to "prove" that Jesus the Messiah was a fraud and that Christianity is nothing more than an amalgam of pagan beliefs. Along with this charge, the creators of this movie draw the conclusion that religion is simply a tool of the world employed by the powerful to keep the masses in subjugation through superstitious ignorance.
Sadly, the vast majority who have watched this film are representative of the Internet "get it now" generation that does not do its homework or perform due diligence when presented with a thesis. Instead, if what is presented sounds and looks good to them and falls in line with their world view, they accept it as "gospel" truth without question or further research. So it goes with Zeitgeist for countless individuals who have watched the movie, been baptized into its doctrine and become its evangelists.
This is ironic when you consider that those who say they are open minded and seeking truth are actually guilty of the very thing they accuse Christians of. The accusation of course being that Christians are gullible simpletons who have believed a lie, which if only they took the time to research, would see they are deceived. Yet when the disciples of Zeitgeist accept everything in this movie that discredits Christianity without raising a questioning eyebrow they are seen as being the true seekers of truth. I'm sorry but this is hypocrisy.
True Christians though, contrary to any inferences or accusations, are not afraid of truth. Examine Christianity honestly and you will see that the claims of Jesus Christ and the writings of the apostles and prophets have been the most studied and scrutinized ever to have existed in all of history. Try this with the writings from Zeitgeist's heralded "experts" and see how long they last under a microscope of equal power.
And so I present a challenge to those who have watched Zeitgeist and even those who have not. This being for you to examine evidence that the writers of Zeitgeist failed to provide to their viewers. Evidence you should evaluate and examine for yourself so that at the end of the "day" you have done your homework and can base you beliefs on what is presented from both sides of the spectrum.
As a starter consider Zeitgeist Refuted. Watch it with an open mind and take the time to do your own research. For I would just as much hate for you to accept what is presented in this rebuttal anymore than what you may have believed from Zeitgeist. Because if at the end of the "day" you come away rejecting Jesus Christ this is your choice where I am not here to strong arm you to my beliefs. But your rejection should be based on fact and not the wild and fanciful conclusions drawn by Zeitgeist which wither away when honestly examined.
Likewise, I want to state that myriad true Christians, contrary to what you might think in watching the Zeitgeist "exposé", are not ignorant to what is presented therein. We will readily admit that men are liars for our Lord and the Scriptures teach us this truth over and over again. We even have commandments of God and the Lord Jesus that teach against lying.
It goes hand-in-hand with this truth about men being liars where we preach to the world that false religion has been one of the greatest purveyors of lies. A fact as much true today as it was in Jesus' day where we can read just one of his many scathing denunciation of the Pharisees who were emblematic of outward professors of religious godliness in words and deed yet inwardly they were "ravening wolves." Jesus says to them and all false professors you "…are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." (Jesus in John 8:44)
We likewise are astute to the banking institution and Federal Reserve being a fraudulent system. Not because of Zeitgeist though, but because our Scriptures, the ones Zeitgeist vainly attempt to disprove, tell us so. Truths that have known by God's people for thousands of years before the Federal Reserve was even conceived in the mind of man. Yet most men then, as is true today, reject God's word and build systems in direct opposition to his commands as they are ever seeking to fleece people of their wealth and to enslave them to ungodly institutions. For our God tells his people that they are to "…have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." (Deuteronomy 25:15)
But men, ungodly men, have throughout history used unjust weights and measures just as is the case with the Federal Reserve and her fiat money, fractional reserves and other ungodly practices. Men who are just like those who produced Zeitgeist, Christ denying, God hating individuals who hate his word and seek to build their own religion of humanism. Yet the Word of God stands against the Fed even as our LORD declares that "A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight." (Proverbs 11:1)
We too know about false religion and that of Roman Catholicism and her Babylonian mysteries. Here, many of us have studied to show ourselves approved where we understand that Christ Mass (i.e. Christmas) is pagan just as is Easter. Here, we boldly preach against these lies that have crept into the church even when it means mockery from the religious of our day and shunning from our friends and family. You can if you like read a detailed study I have done on Rome's adopting of the pagan into the church here where she magically crafted Christmas out of the Roman Saturnalia. It is written specifically to those who call themselves Christians and keep this day so as to educate them, yet you will profit from it if you take the time to read it and to see that our Lord has shown us these truths. Truths that our brethren throughout history have valiantly defended when attacked by Rome's lies and those of all false religion.
Brethren who defended the truth with their very lives for it was these, that is the true Christians, who were tortured and killed by Rome's murderous killing machine know as the Inquisitions. Killing not done by Christians but by Christ-denying papists who were dead in their sins and hated Jesus Christ. They being just like the Pharisees of Jesus' day who had him scourged and nailed to a tree! Again, our Lord warned us about such things two thousand years ago so we know full well that religious men will do many evil and vile things in the name of God. For our Lord spoke specifically to this very thing where he said, "These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them." (John 16:1-4)
Finally, be in known that true Christians who have "done their homework", are well aware that conspiracies exist whether they be in governments, homes or even religious institutions. Why you ask? Because once again our Scriptures reveal this truth. A truth where our Lord taught that "…men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." (Jesus in John 3:19-20)
This is the very nature of sin or evil which does not want to come into the light lest it be exposed. Sin that may be as "small" as you telling someone a lie, or as large as a group of men plotting the destruction of western civilization. Our Scriptures also deal in exacting precision with conspiracies as they have been plotted against the Lord and his anointed. Below we will look at just two.
The first is where the Jews sought to kill Paul whom they hated with a bitter passion after he went from killing Christians (that's right) to preaching Jesus Christ crucified as being the only way for a man to be made right with God. We read that, "And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul." (Acts 23:12)
And the most famous, or infamous example of all conspiracies is when men conspired to kill the Prince of Peace, the Lord of Glory where "[t]hen assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him [Jesus]." (Matthew 26:3-4)
And so you see we are not as ignorant as Zeitgeist make us out to be, no quite the contrary. And the fact that some of our brethren, that is the few chosen Christians that are in the world may not yet see these things does not in any way negate the truths that our Lord and his Word reveals. For all of mankind has been deceived at one time or another and Jesus Christ warns all against such deception where he says "Take heed that no man deceive you." (Matthew 24:4)
I close by saying to all that you truly take heed that no man or movie deceive you. Truth does exist and I unashamedly declare that it is found in the person of Jesus the Christ. You will have to make a choice today whom you will serve. Will it be the world and her institutions and lying spokesman or will it be Jesus Christ? Will you be on the side of those who shouted out "crucify him!" when presented with Jesus Christ just as Zeitgeist shouts today, or will you fall down at his feet and cry out for mercy that he grant you repentance and eternal life?

Have you ever had Frog Eye Salad? Oh my word, this stuff is crazy good! My sister is the one who makes this for our get-togethers and as soon as she mentions she is making it, I am over the moon excited.
When my son graduated from high school last month I asked her to help me out with a dish for the party afterwards. Her immediate response was "I can make the frog eye salad!" I did not hesitate to answer her with a YES! I could seriously eat this stuff until I can't move.
This was a huge hit with everyone that attended. It is always a hit whenever she makes it. It is funny when you tell people what it is called and they look a little perplexed. Frog eyes really don't sound all that appetizing do they? Trust me on this one, if you have not ever had this you are in for a treat.
So what are you waiting for? Make this today! Be the talk of the party when you walk in with this Frog Eye Salad. I bet you will get some funny looks but as soon as they taste it, they will ask you for the recipe.
Frog Eye Salad
1 cup of sugar
2 tbsp. flour
1 ¾ cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp. lemon juice
3 quarts water
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1- 16-oz pkg acini di pepe pasta
3- 11-oz cans mandarin oranges, drained
2- 20-oz cans pineapple tidbits, drained
1- 20-oz can crushed pineapple, drained
1- 8-oz container cool whip
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 tsp salt
In sauce pan, combine sugar, flour, ½ tsp salt, pineapple juice and eggs. Stir and cook over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat, add lemon juice and cool to room temperature. Bring water to a boil, add oil and a pinch of salt and cook pasta until al dente. Rinse under cold water and drain. In a large bowl combine pasta and egg mixture, mandarin oranges, all pineapple and whipped topping, mix together well. Refrigerate overnight or until chilled. Before serving add marshmallows and coconut, toss everything together and serve.

New investment means EIT has paid $300mn for 34% of publicly-listed Forthnet's shares.
Dubai Holding unit Emirates International Telecommunications (EIT) and Malta-based affilate GO have increased their stake in Greece's broadband operator Forthnet to 34 percent from 21 percent, the company said on Saturday.
The move takes the total investment in Forthnet to 1.1 billion dirhams ($300 million) and was made through their special purpose joint venture Forgendo, EIT said in a statement
GO is 60-percent owned by EIT.
The initial investment earlier this year allowed Forthnet to purchase NetMed, which owns the NOVA brands in Greece and Cyprus, the only premium pay TV operators in their respective markets, EIT added.
"By increasing our total stake to 34 percent, we are well positioned for strong growth in both broadband and pay-TV. This allows Forthnet to make unique and attractive triple pay offers in the Greek market," Deepak Padmanabhan, EIT's chief executive, said.
Forthnet is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange and describes itself as the largest alternative telephony, internet and video operator in the Greek market.
EIT, a fully-owned subsidiary of state-owned Dubai Holding, was founded in 2006.
It manages four telecom investments including Tunisie Telecom, the largest provider of telecommunication networks and services in Tunisia, GO plc, Malta's only quadruple-play operator (offering mobile, data, fixed and TV services), Interoute, which operates a Next Generation Network (NGN) across Europe, and Forthnet and NetMed in Greece.
