So here’s my belated advice.Tip of the Week: Never admit it’s your first time.Now this can be taken to mean so many things, but I’m referring here to cover letters. I could tell that they’d never been published because of the lack of publishing credits. So, my advice is to never tell an editor or agent that you’ve never submitted to anyone before.

I share this message with you expecting it to encourage you to be committed in your walk with Jesus Christ. I was blessed with this message today from one of my Mentors and a brother in Christ, Jack Weinzierl. The message is powerful. I encourage you to follow the words of James 1:22 and Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Ask me how you can be part of this powerful call. Be Blessed.A Call to Commitment by Jack Weinzierl Welcome, may you be blessed by our weekly Advantage Conferences Mindset Tele-Mentoring training. Dear Heavenly Father, we pray that You would touch us and pour Your Strength into us Lord. Wean us from depending on the world, as we only want to depend on You, as You will always give us the strength we need. Lord shine Your Light of Success on our lives today. In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen. Today’s call is about commitment and all of this training can be applied to your business, marriage, family and all aspects of our lives. I want to introduce you to a mythical church member that I am going to call Kenny. When we first meet Kenny he is attending services at First Church , but he left because the services were too formal, every one on the platform wore a tie. He and his family then wandered over to Grace Church because they had a great choir. But before long, we hear they are “happy” at the Christian Worship Center . But before long they move their membership to the Community Church because of the great Bible teaching. After that the youth program at New Hope catches their eye. Now at least for the moment, they are at the church uptown, at least until something else catching their roving eye. What ever happened to commitment? Why do you suppose that there are close to 100 million church members in America yet they are not making more of a moral and spiritual impact? Why is that on Sunday morning thousands of churches have more empty pews than full? Why is it that the average Sunday School in America has less than 66 in attendance and that the average worship service has 84? Why is it that only 50% of the number on any church membership roll can be expected to attend? If Christians really believe in a real Heaven and a real hell, how can we be so silent? . . . The answer to all of these questions is tragically simple! God’s people have made a decision about Jesus….but have never made a commitment to Him.” [Charles Stanley] There is of course a difference between a decision and a commitment. Perhaps this cannot be seen any clearer than it is in the failure rate of marriages in America . According to statistics at least 50% of all marriages will end in divorce. Why do you suppose that is happening? Charles Stanley in his book, Confronting Casual Christianity, says that it is because these couples made a decision but did not make a commitment. Every person who married made a decision! They stood before a preacher and made promises and recited vows. They made a decision, they kissed each other and walked out together to live but not necessarily “happily ever after” and not necessarily together. So why did they divorce? The answer is that they made a decision, but they did not truly commit their lives to each other. But when a couple marries and makes a commitment to one another that is a different story. The same is true in the church. The reason that the church is not making more of an impact in our society is that many church members made a decision about Christ, but have not made a commitment to Christ. When the pilot of a giant airline is speeding down the runway, there is a certain point where it staying on the ground is no longer an option. When he crosses that line, he is committed to the air, he will take off or a disastrous crash is imminent. At the point the pilot can no longer change his mind, he is committed. Unfortunately churches are filled with members who have never got off the ground. They have been sitting there gunning their engines, making noise but getting nowhere. They have been planning on it, meaning to, wanting to, trying to, going to, aiming to, hoping to. But tragedy of tragedies, they have never got off the ground. I want to challenge you to “get off the ground.” In Romans 12:1-2, the Apostle Paul issues a clear call for commitment when he says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (2) And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (NKJV) The word “present” is a technical Greek word used for offering a sacrifice. This is a voluntary act, it does not say “I command you,” it says “I beseech you or I beg you.” This is something that is completely up to you. He says the motivation is to be, remembering “the mercies of God.” Close you eyes for just a moment think of all that God has done in your life. Think of the “mercies of God” based on what you have received can you really say that you owe him nothing. When we reflect on the goodness of God how can we be anything other than committed. Today I want you to see with me three clear calls to commitment that every believer has to face. This is based on the supposition that you made more than decision about Christ and that you have already made a personal commitment to Christ. Commitment to Personal GrowthWe are called to commit ourselves as disciples. Disciples are learners. We should never reach a point in life at which we are no longer learners. We never reach a point in life at which we have arrived. The truth is that most believers have never reached past the point that Paul says they have to be fed with milk when they should be ready for meat. (Heb 5:2, 1 Cor 3:2) Make a commitment to continue to grow spiritually. Take positive steps to do so. Start a Bible reading plan. Set aside time each day to pray. Read good Christian literature. Watch some good Christian programming. Plug Into our Mindset calls every week. Never give up on learning.Commitment to the Local BodyThe author Jerry Bridges comments in an article on commitment, “As I have watched the parade of people through our church, and other churches. I wonder why so few commit themselves to a local body of believers in a significant way. Many sit and soak and do little else, and they flee at the first sign of trouble or pressure. They fail to become involved or to give; the priority for corporate worship falls far down on the list. They criticize all that is wrong with a specific local congregation. . . What can we do besides comment or complain? We need to accept the challenge to commit ourselves to responsible membership.” [Jerry Bridges. Spirit of Revival. “Commitment” (April, 1994) p. 29-30] The local church is the first level of commitment outside of our personal relationship with the Lord. The local church with all its imperfections is still the Lord’s major avenue through which he accomplishes his work. The church gathers for worship, teaching and fellowship to gain power to carry out the ministry as each member is scattered to their various places of responsibility in the world. The member who “forsakes the assembling together” (Heb 10:25 ) forfeits the power of a corporate identity. But some people just do not see church attendance as a necessity. They see recreation as a necessity.They see Yard work as a necessity.They see Entertaining as a necessity. They see Viewing sporting events as a necessity. But church attendance and participation rank with visiting Grandpa’s grave, calling your college roommate and viewing the new wing of the art museum. You have every intention of doing it …., unless of course something else important comes up. In far too many lives, church attendance seems to be relegated to last place. I sometimes think that the Rotary club does a better job of eliciting weekly attendance from it members than the church does. Be In your place!!!! Commitment to church is deeper than just attendance to the worship services, but it does begin there. But if we are really to get to know the people of our church it will be in the context of involvement in a small group such as a Sunday school class. You will never truly feel a part of this church by attending the Sunday morning services and going home. Be Involved!!!Commitment to a local church also demands loyalty. When we criticize our church to the outside community we are shooting ourselves in the foot. Who is going to come with you to a church that you have torn down in their hearing? You need to be loyal to the staff and workers of your church. If you have concerns then go directly to the person concerned. No they are not perfect but then neither are you. Do not be guilty of spreading seeds of discontent. Be loyal!!! Some of you need to make a commitment to get involved in the life of the church. Be faithful to the services. Get involved. Get to know the other people of the church. Invite people outside of your current circle to your home. Be loyal to your church.Commitment to MinistryCommitment to a local church means deciding on a church “home” and moving in for a permanent stay. Commitment to the local church also means actively using the talents and gifts to serve in the various ministries of the church. Paul reminds us in Romans 12:6 that “we have different gifts, according to the grace given us.” Ministry means putting those gifts to work. We need to be a part of what the church is doing not just spectators. Will you make a commitment today? If you have not committed yourself to the Lord, then you need to begin there. Once you have committed yourself to the Lord will you commit yourself to personal growth, institute some practical steps to do so beginning today. Will you commit yourself to your local church? Be in your place. Don’t allow yourself to be distracted from being a part of the church. Be Involved. Commit yourself to begin building some new relationships within the church. Be loyal. You will never get your neighbor to visit a church that you are constantly finding fault with. Will you make a commitment that you are going to look for opportunities to put your talents and abilities to work? The greatest ability is availability. Don’t wait for someone to ask you, volunteer to help. If we all make those commitments today, the church would be a different place. The church would be what the Lord intended it to be!!!! Commitment separates the “Doers” from the “Dreamers”Foundational Scripture: Psalms 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Proverbs 16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Let’s establish “just what is commitment” this afternoon. We will find out just how vital commitment is in our everyday relationships. We can not be successful in life, nor can we be successful Christians without commitment. I hope to expose areas that we need to commit afresh and anew, and then teach on how to identify areas in which we can strengthen our level of commitment. The difference in a contribution and total commitment is usually the difference in failure and success. Many have heard this story, but it fits in so well with what we are addressing today. A chicken and a hog were walking past a church building one day when they noticed the Sunday morning sermon posted on the outside bulletin board, Helping the Poor. They walked a ways when the chicken suddenly came across with a suggestion. Say, Brother Hog, why donlink

The first was Robert Schuman’s Trio for violin, Cello, and Piano Fmaj, Op 80.The last (of three) was Brahms Quintet for strings also in Fmaj Op 88.there is always something soporific and even depressing about Schuman. Brahms, even in his big symphonies, feels to me like a warm blanket.The important piece was the centerpiece, listed as Charles Ives Sonata for Violin and Piano, No. Irrelevant, but that’s the sort of thing I like best about chamber music, you can notice stuff like that)What I heard, was Jeremy Denk doing a sophisticated Professor Peter Schikele explanation of Chuck Ives doing a reincarnation of P.D.Q.

Array-ne Last week, French Economic IP scholars François Lévêque and Yann Ménière published an excellent paper on patents and their economic impact on innovation, aptly titled Patents and Innovation: Friends or Foes?This 82-page study covers a broad range of patenting perspectives across a wide range of industries, and is an excellent read for anyone looking to understand business outlooks on patents and the economic effects patents have on industry and innovation.At the outset, the study points out the obvious that patents are not the only available mechanism for enabling firms to recoup their investments in R&D. In specific industries, the following estimates (patents per innovation) were determined:Rubber Products - 8.8 patentsSemiconductors - 7.8 patentsPetroleum Refining and Extraction - 6.9 patentsOther electrical equipment - 6.7 patentsMachinery - 6.7 patentsIndustrial Chemicals - 6.6 patentsMetals - 6.1 patentsElectronic Components - 5.7 patentsComputers and Office Equipment - 5.1 patentsMedical Instruments - 4.7 patentsCommunication Equipment - 2.9 patentsBiotech - 2.2 patentsDrugs and Medicine - 2.0 patentsAn approximation was also made to compare the value of patents to the amount of R&D expenditures. The subsidy rate for different industries was estimated as follows:Communication Equipment - 39%Semiconductors - 23%Metals - 23%Pharmaceuticals - 22%Medical Instruments - 21%Rubber Products - 19%Instruments - 16%Industrial Chemicals - 14%Electronic Components - 13%Computer - 8%A second methodology for assessing the additional effect of patents on R&D consists in calculating the difference between the value of the innovation before and after it has been patented (i.e., the patent premium).

by intermission, Sumpter already had a dozen points and five rebounds.)Nardi, playing 37 minutes, ended up with 11 points on just 3-12 shooting, but also dealt seven assists (one more than the entire Hawk team, which had just six!) Sophomore Shane Clark also provided a significant contribution, narrowly missing a double-double with nine points and eight rebounds in just 28 minutes (had he played a little more, he almost certainly would have gotten the double-double).Aside from the lack of offensive output, the only annoyance of the contest, was the fact that SJU was able to backdoor some spectacular dunks, embarrassing the Villanova defense on those lobs. The 39 points were the lowest any Villanova opponent had scored this season, and also represented only the second time a Wildcat opponent had scored fewer than 50 points.Two Surprises – The 19 minutes were the second-highest of the season (Benn’s high is 20 minutes on November 30, 2006, at Stony Brook), and they were the most he had played since logging 16 minutes on December 6, 2006, @ Oklahoma.City Series SuperlativesHoly War All-Time Series: Villanova has now increased its lead to 41-23, winning its third in a row.Holy War in the Past Decade: Villanova has now won eight of the last ten meetings, in the seasons ending in ’97, ’99, 2000, ’01, ’02, ’05, ’06, and ’07, with SJU’s victories coming only in ’03 and ’04.

-ne Key Words: Tolerance, Religious Diversity, Liberal, Progressive Christians, Left, Religious PluralismAs I wrote earlier in DecemberOne of the first lessons I learned in seminary is that you cannot divorce religion from culture. .The second lesson I learned in seminary (a liberal mainline Protestant seminary) was that there is a major investment by liberal (mainline) denominations in promoting Religious Pluralism in the name of Social Justice and cultural diversity.The third lesson I learned in seminary is that any conservative thought openly espoused by either student or professor was tantamount to heresy!!! To make effective inroads in today’s multi-ethnic, culturally diverse university, we must do the hard work of engaging the thinking behind pluralism and the demands of this new meaning of tolerance.For a further understanding of how pervasive Religious Pluralism (see Progressive Chrisitanity) has become in the West visit these sites: Oh and be sure to check out their links to the Progressive Christian denominations and organizations. Talk about naivety!!!)UCSB Religious Studies DepartmentFord FoundationCenter for Religion and Civic Culture at USC The Religion and Immigration Project (TRIP) at USF Hispanic Churches in American Public Life ProjectMuslims in American Public SquareReligious Pluralism in Southern California (blod highlights added by me)A brief overview of the Religious Pluralism in Southern California ProjectThe Religious Pluralism in Southern California project examines the impact that religious pluralism is having on civic life in Southern California. .It’s important to remember that religious dialogue doesn’t work (nor does Religious Pluralism) when one of the parties is intent on the total destruction of your religion and your culture!!! So as the growing number of cloud-walking Religious Pluralists devise more ways to engage Islam (as if Islam was some kind of monolithic religion), they ignore the very real threats Islamification poses to all religious freedoms. See “Our Vulnerable Religious Freedoms”To get a good idea of how all mainline Christian denominations (including Roman Catholicism) are rapidly moving toward Religious Pluralism, and as a result, handing radical Islam the rope with which to hang Christianity, please read “Praying to the Buddha”.[COMMONWEAL Magazine, January 26, 2007 / Volume CXXXIV, Number 2]This article was written by Peter C. .as Paul Knitter has helpfully explained in Introducing Theologies of Religions: replacement (there is only one true religion), fulfillment (one true religion fulfills other religions), mutuality (there are many true religions which are called to dialogue), and acceptance (there are many religions which have different ends).

…I actually wrote this the evening I separated from the US Army on October 19, 2006. I sat down at a coffee shop and hammered out about 10 pages, after I had started the first two a few days prior, but didn’t feel led to finish. I originally sent this out to close friends and contacts, and got some varying replies. I will include my original email before getting into the essay itself.It is with a heavy heart that I share with you something that has been on my heart for many months now. I am now, as of October 19th, counted as a private citizen, so perhaps it is with an inflated confidence that I share these thoughts with you. Please read it, but only once you have time to truly reflect on it and consider its implications. For a few months now, I have realized my message is two fold, though I have been more vocal with the one; nonviolence and unconditional love for others. The second I knew would be met with slightly more hesitation than the first. I found something in the Old Testament that disturbed me when I was trying to figure out why God allowed war to be fought by, and more disturbingly, brought against, the Israelites. Many times, it was their own nationalistic egotism and pride that disabled them from fully committing themselves to Yahweh. God used other nations, insultingly gentile nations, to remind them that they were to rely only on Him, and not on their military force and elitist tendencies. Side note; Isaiah 56:3-7 reminds us that Judaism was not intended to be exclusive, but inclusive. (Israel was to be ‘set apart,’ yes, but not exclusivist, it seems. Please correct me if I am mistaken) I see much of the same tendencies in America today. Leaders at all levels have high-jacked the noble beginnings of our country and are on a joy ride with our global reputation. I love my country (not as much as I love Jesus, but I love it nonetheless), and what is passed off as ‘patriotism’ is appalling. The way people throw this idolatrous label around is alarmingly unpatriotic (pardon the pun, and yes it was intended). Our own forefathers would be labeled unpatriotic by today’s standards. I am truly afraid for what our once beautiful nation may degenerate into if those of us who still love our country deeply do not speak up.I look forward to any responses that you all have.Liberty and Justice for AllI recently visited the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, PA. The walkway leading to the actual display builds the visitor up in awe and inspiration; they are reminded how this object of their attention is a beautiful reminder of this country’s esteemed past and heritage. Many people stopped to read various inscriptions and historical references to the Bell. At the entrance to the building that houses the Liberty Bell, there is a verse from Leviticus in bold letters; “Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants.” For a new student of biblical history, which I playfully fancy myself, this had a slight impact to me. If my memory serves me, the verse is what is actually engraved upon the Liberty Bell itself. Isn’t that an awesome thing; Liberty? It seems that we are, as a nation, asked by God to proclaim liberty throughout the land. Does this explain America’s neocolonialism? Is this why we have vested economical interests spread through the entire world; to proclaim liberty and justice for all? I had to look up this verse; to dwell on it, to meditate on it. I didn’t have my Bible on me, so it had to wait.Meanwhile, I continued on my way toward the actual bell. I learned that it had been cracked since basically it’s creation in 1751, but that modern science had devised a way to keep it intact in order to avoid further damage or even collapse. The crack as it appears now is rumored to have been made on Washington’s death in 1846. I almost had pity on it; that poor decrepit bell had been clinging to what was left of its structural integrity for nearly its entire being. I took some pictures, had a few pleasant thoughts and moved on. When I got back to where I was staying, I looked up Leviticus 25:10. Wait a minute. The passage at the display was only an abbreviated version of a longer verse! Here is the passage in it’s entirety:“Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each one of you is to return to his family property and each to his own clan.”Hm. Not quite a harkening call to go out and plant our beliefs through the rest of the world. Without getting into too much detail about the Jubilee year (many other men have commented on it much more eloquently and exhaustively), this was actually a time for all of God’s people to release each other from debt and free slaves who were serving to pay off debts to their masters. The Jubilee is what Jesus proclaimed at one of his earliest sermons in Nazareth; they ran him out of town and nearly threw him off a cliff… As I reflected on what it meant to have a jubilee verse engraved on a national icon, I was overwhelmed by a sense of irony. The Jubilee was one of the Mosaic traditions that the Jews did not practice with much consistency. To do so meant that all the wealthy Jews would lose their capital every 7 and 49 years. Anyway, I was pretty shell shocked by the duplicity of having such an obviously redemptive passage inscribed on one of the symbols of a nation that declared that by destroying massive areas of Iraq and Afghanistan, even Vietnam, that we were “liberating” said nations.Hence; my introduction into nationalistic egotism and all of its evils. Patriotism as our founding fathers knew it; in the civil disobedience of such events as the Boston Tea party and the Declaration of Independence, is dead. It has been replaced by an uncompromising insistence to blindly obey its established ideologies. Jim Wallis claimed in his book Call to Conversion; “Nations tend to demand total allegiance. They then become idolatrous and rebellious against the will of God. Even at its best, a government cannot act completely according to the justice of God because no nation, except the church, confesses Christ’s rule as its foundation.” When I read this, I was struck by the truth contained in it. I had been exposed to it first hand; I have been accused of aiding the ‘enemies of America’ and straying from the path of God because I would not assist the Army in its mission of fighting the nation’s wars. How could this be, I wondered, if God is the only entity I am to swear unswerving allegiance to? Was Nation (also referred to as Empire) an equal of God? A stand-in? Does America speak for God? I had to know what the bible said about this.Consulting my trusty concordance, I was steered toward the stories of the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles. Why were the Israelites allowed to be taken captive by pagan nations? The answer lies in their allegiances. The Jews had begun to trust in the strength of their chariots and the number and might of their soldiers. By relinquishing their trust in God, the Almighty was no longer bound by His covenant to protect them. Also, their disinterest and lack of loyalty pissed Him the heck off! The Hebrew nation had been brought under judgment in order to remind them where the real power lies; in God, not in the sword. Unfortunately, it was when they were in their most dire times that the Israelites finally admitted their need for a merciful God. It took punishment to bring them to the feet of the Loving Father. People haven’t changed much; we still act up until our parents ‘teach us a lesson.’ Groups act similarly to individuals; behaving poorly until we are reminded that we are not in control and must rely on a higher power for guidance and support (be it a governmental or spiritual authority).Where does that leave America? Eisenhower, in his farewell speech to the country at the conclusion of his distinguished presidency, warned us of an ominous machine that loomed to take the US captive, if we were not careful to resist it. The machine: the ‘military industrial complex.’“This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications.”The former president, and enamored war hero, went on to describe our folly in consciously deciding to build our nation henceforth upon the strength of our armed forces; placing idolatrous faith in our tanks and, even worse, in our very soldiers (trusting in ‘the multitude of [our] chariots and the great strength of [our] horsemen,’ as spoken of in Isaiah 31:1). This career soldier, who expressed a “definite sense of disappointment” in hindsight toward the performance of his duties, thought it decidedly unwise to tempt the rest of the world into an arms and militarism race by essentially drawing the starting line. He closed with an appeal that we as a nation be “confident but humble with power,” and be able to “come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love.” Perhaps good ole Ike was a bit of a prophet…In my six years in the military industrial complex, I have seen many leaders arrogantly (though I hope it has more to do with innocent ignorance) twist scripture, including Luke 9:50 and Mark 9:40 to proudly, and perhaps mistakenly, align their own political agenda with Christian teaching. I have seen firsthand the faith many soldiers place in commanders, their own weapons, or the bombs that fall from the air at the squelch of a radio transmission. They march boldly forward, presumably safe as long as they have their ‘best friends;’ Mr. M-4 and Mrs. Kevlar. Jesus said “fear not He who can destroy the body but cannot destroy the soul (Matthew 10:28). What safety does a weapon grant but a false sense of it? Why do men who trust in Jesus still fear death? Wasn’t a large part of His ministry the proclamation of eternal life? What amazes Jesus above anything else is always faith. He is awestruck by it because it is so beautiful in the sight of God, in fact it is pretty much all he asks of us. Faith is trust, trust is love. Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30, and Luke 10:27 all remind us to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind [“strength” in Deut.].”God demands it all, just as He offers to us. No nation can substitute. This is idolatry, to place ANYTHING on the altar of God that does not belong; an oath, a flag, a president. Yes, we are to be subservient to Empire, but only insofar as it does not ask us to place itself above the Lord our God. We pay taxes, suffer through jury duty, and often we serve in the military. However, nothing may take the place of God or ask us to sacrifice our obedience to Him. This is what the age of Martyrs is about, and what prophets preached about; to never allow anything to take from God what is rightfully His, our ultimate allegiance to Him. As for obedience; we must obey Man only as long as it does not compromise what Jesus has taught us. Acts 5:29 reminds us who we are to obey in situations where one seems to contradict the other. Leo Tolstoy wrote in the essay ‘Of Holy Disobedience;’So that by killing by order of your commander you are a murderer as much as the thief who kills a rich man to rob him. He is tempted by money, and you by the desire not to be punished, or to receive a reward [such as praise or recognition]. A Christian cannot surrender his conscience into the power of another man, no matter by what title he may be called.Just because a man makes a command, by its own right it is not necessarily moral or justified. Temporal authority does not absolve anyone of spiritual responsibility. God spoke morals into being; He is the final authority on what is ‘right.’ He elaborates on it in the Gospels when he commands us to pray for those who persecute us and to do good to those who harm us (Deuteronomy 18:18-19 tells us that Jesus speaks directly for God the father, and what he will do to those who disobey – “…I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command them. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” Un-italicized by me for emphasis). Nonviolence, among other things, is a simple matter of obedience to God. Sometimes it seems irrational, absurd even! Jesus, in each individual Gospel never heals a person in the same way twice, one time He even spits on a man to heal his blindness (Mark 8:22-26)!A problem I see with men who justify straying from single minded obedience to Jesus must assume (for the sake of their argument) that Jesus is merely an idealist. This is hard for me to sympathize with; I believe in the idea that Jesus is eternal and that He was with the Father at the creation of the world. To make the argument of an idealist-Jesus, one must base his argument on the idea that Jesus, the creator of the world as we know it, knows nothing about how the world must actually be run. This is to say “who does that Jesus think he is? War is necessary, he was just being idealistic!” Logically, they also must claim that ‘good’ is dependent upon the existence of evil (since evil is ‘necessary’ and ‘good’ is simply an ideal). I believe the opposite to be true, that we make evil necessary simply by surrendering ourselves to flawed theology. Let us not hide behind our sin and throw up our hands in defeat, instead let’s place our faith in the One who frees us from the darkness and gives us a Way to live today and forever.Many times, I have been placed, hypothetically, in many different scenarios, all of which seemingly demanded that I kill someone in order to defend myself or someone I love. After I mentally shrug off the repetitiveness of people offering hypothetical suggestions in lieu of the very clear teachings of Christ, my response always has something to do with me dying instead of the aggressor. This is the first reason I give; the greatest gift I can give is my own life so that another may live (John 15:12-13). Why would I, as a faithful follower of Jesus, value my physical life so much that I would grasp at every straw to maintain it? I think it was Brennan Manning in ‘The Ragamuffin Gospel’ who wrote “Death is but a threshold that leads to the only true sense of ‘life’ that we will ever experience.” Additionally, I know in the depths of my heart that I am ready to be judged, the person that threatens my life clearly is not. This leads me to my second reason; to spare my aggressor’s life is to give him precious more moments on this earth in which he might experience redemption. My favorite band, Relient K, has a new song which prophetically proclaims “with every passing second comes a second chance. I wonder if my questioners would have killed Paul had they been at Stephen

Array It was at that moment that our attention was directed to a church parking lot down an incline from the highway and the lot was full of cars, each having the legs of some kind of cop sticking out of the open doors as they looked under seats and dashboards.Since I wasn’t driving, I was able to get away with not having identification to present so I passed myself off with the name of some kid I went to school with that I knew had never been in trouble with the law, much less in Stone County. But I was a little nervous about the ounce of dried green substance rolled up in a sandwich bag, laying at the bottom of the glove box.The cop looks through the car pretty well, opens the ice chest, counts the number of beers to determine if it was too many to be in possession of in a dry county and swung up and out of the car.“I couldn’t get the glove compartment open,” he said. “What the hell?” the sheriff exclaimed.“It’s firewood,” said Bill, “want me to take it out so you can look underneath it?”“Naw, that’s alright,” he said, “but I need to look in the glove box.”About that time, a real Gomer Pyle looking fellow in jeans and a Levi’s jacket with a police badge hanging from a chain around his neck comes running up yelling, “Leon, get over here!

Colm Toibin’s The Master was named one the 10 Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review. And in Scotland, a group of Christian protesters called on police to prosecute a theater company for blasphemy because it was presenting Terrence McNalley’s Corpus Christi, his play about a gay Jesus.A Big Bonfire Is Also Being Planned: In December 2004, Alabama state legislator Gerald Allen (R-Cottondale), proposed a bill that would ban all books with gay characters from public libraries. Allen said that if his bill passed, novels with gay protagonists and college textbooks that suggest homosexuality is natural would have to be removed from library shelves and destroyed. If the bill became law, public school textbooks could not present homosexuality as a genetic trait and public libraries couldn’t offer books with gay or bisexual characters. He said that would include non-fiction books that suggest homosexuality is acceptable and fiction novels with gay characters. While that would ban books such as Heather Has Two Mommies, it could also include classics such as The Color Purple, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Brideshead Revisited.Off the Shelves But Still On the Web: Creative Visions, the 14-year-old gay and lesbian bookstore in New York City’s Greenwich Village, closed its doors at the end of December 2004. Creative Visions will continue as an online bookseller via their Web site www.CreativeVisionsBooks.com.Passages: Joseph Hansen, author of nearly 40 books and one of the first mystery writers noted for creating one of the genre’s first gay protagonists, died November 24, 2004, at his home in Laguna Beach, California, of heart and lung ailments. He co-founded the gay publication Tangents in 1965, produced the radio program Homosexuality Today in Los Angeles in 1969, and helped plan the first gay pride parade in Hollywood in 1970. As an author she received many awards, including the National Book Critics’ Circle Award, the National Book Award, and a MacArthur grant.

Using the dough we had created on Day 30 and retarded overnight, we each created a number of pizzas. Oven temperatures aside, I’m slightly disturbed at my own lack of shame (nay, pride) in the amount I’m willing to eat while others egg me on. I’m enjoying it thoroughly but I’m not sure it’s working.Using a very similar, if slightly wetter dough, we also crafted a bit of focaccia. Let’s talk about how they make the sausage you’re so happy to throw on your pizza, then we’ll see what’s ill-worthy.I was surprised, when I pulled my bagels out of the oven last night, that they actually looked like real bagels. (Well, I guess they were real bagels, but still.) Bagels are an interesting case because they’re so often made in shops that only do bagels. I used a great big cascade of it to build an amazing dough by adding simply flour and salt, and formed it into perky little rolls which bespoke the very nature of their creator. What happens to dough when baked at two-hundred-something I will have to research in order to explain scientifically, but for now suffice it to say that the interior moisture most definitely does not evaporate, the dough does not spring up in the oven, and then you get very emotional, helplessly watching about nine days worth of meticulously monitored preparation amount to lumps of gluey insipidness not worthy of ingestion.But I ate them anyway.

Forty days is a long time to be on a special diet where you are eyeballing the results every day in anticipation of the time that you can get back to your normal life and your normal way of eating. This is now my normal way of eating, making an effort to eat healthier and eat less. Two to three days of eating out doesn’t mean a break from my life style change, it just means that I have to be careful and even at that my calories might bump up to a maintaining level instead of a weight loss level.

Three simple reasons: Booming commodity prices, its exploration and its fundamentals.1 — Commodity prices are increasing like nuts seemingly every day and this leads to great profits for companies like Eurozinc as their costs do not go up with the increased prices. This simple increase in commodity prices means even without lots of exploration and production, their revenues will increase.2 — Many larger mining companies look to small caps like Eurozinc to explore new deposits and then buy out them out instead of hunting for themselves.

I know what you’re asking yourself, Why day 47?Well, yesterday was Cinco de Mayo and it’s the first time in years that I haven’t had a margarita or four to celebrate. I’m not sure if I miss the alcohol or the celebration. Probably both.So, as I was counting my days of sobriety on the calendar (I seem to have a lot of free time at work these days) and I noticed that at this time of year there’s a stretch of drinking holidays that come around every few weeks. Let’s see:-Mardi Gras was on 2/28 this year, followed by-St Patrick’s Day on 3/17 (2 weeks later), followed by -Cinco de Mayo on 5/5 (7 weeks later), followed by the -4th of July on, duh, 7/4 (8 weeks later)For all you Catholics out there, you can throw in Easter (4/16 this year) to celebrate the end of Lent. My son’s mother’s dad gives up drinking every year for Lent and then gets hammered on Easter.Speaking of dads, Father’s Day is celebrated by some guys on the 3rd Sunday of June (6/17 this year) with many an adult beverage. These are usually the guys who became fathers due to Mardi Gras or St. Patrick’s Day. (Note: Alcohol makes everyone pretty) Who can forget the Super Bowl? I usually do. Over the last ten years I’ve seen almost every first half of every Super Bowl. Impressive, eh?I suppose you could also throw in Memorial Day (5/29) and Labor Day (9/4) since we’re off of work and usually BBQ-in’. Wow! I almost forgot Oktoberfest (9/16-10/3 this year)! Did you know that 30% of the year’s production of beer by Munich breweries will be consumed in the two weeks of Oktoberfest?? Holy crap! And if you drink that much beer you’re likely to wanna rock out! And, of course, there’s Thanksgiving and Christmas. How else are some of you gonna deal with family? Shitters full!”Yes, the shitter is full. And finally, we cap off the year with New Years Eve. Only 2 months left til Mardi Gras!! Yay!Well, it seems as though were screwed. No matter where we turn were expected to have a drink. I now see why life was so hazy - theres never a break! No worries. I cleared my head and have a different perspective on life. Ill be okay when and if I drink again, because I know what its like to feel normal again. It feels good. Wish me luck!

Array The memorial, composed of three bold and graceful spires soaring skyward to a height of 270 feet, will be dedicated and given to the nation by the Air Force Memorial Foundation at an official ceremony at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 14 on a three-acre promontory next to Arlington National Cemetery and a short walk from the Pentagon.Officials said the memorial honors the millions of men and women who have served in the Air Force and its predecessor organizations, including the U.S. Signal Corps, the Army Air Corps and the Army Air Forces. Again, due to space limitations at the site, overflow seating will be available in Pentagon South Parking with live simulcast of the service.Immediately following both the official dedication ceremony Oct. 14 and the memorial service Oct. 15, shuttles will transport the public from Pentagon South Parking to the Memorial site to view the Memorial.The weekend’s events are easily accessible from the Pentagon Metro station, and the public is highly encouraged to use the Metro as there will be numerous road closures in the area and parking will be extremely limited, officials said.The Memorial will be closed to the public Oct. 16 while the grounds are restored following the weekend’s activities.(From a U.S. Air Force news release.)

Always remember when Peja Stojakovic tried to add to his point total in the final seconds of a twenty point game and Posey took offense and nearly tackled him. Very skilled player, but not very efficient. No longer a great athlete, but a very skilled performer. Settles too often for long jump shots rather than using his considerable repetoire in the post. Great post defender and adequate offensive player.88. Great athlete with numerous skills, but settles too often for jumpers and fade aways. Great attacking the basket and as a big guard in the post.90. Maybe not, but he’s valuable with his length on the perimeter and skill set. I said he should have gone number one and still believe he is the best rookie in the league with a chance to be the face of the Trailblazers.95. Athletic forward should benefit with Sheldon Williams and Speedy Claxton added to the mix. Don Nelson should maximize his skills on the perimeter.100.

Top it off with intellectual lyrics about self determination and personal freedom sung in a screechy voice and you have the paradox that is Rush - a band that has a unique sound that speaks to millions of loners who amount to a mass audience.Moving Pictures starts off with Tom Sawyer, their signature song. Another song, The Camera Eye gets by on a trobbing, synth driven groove.The last two songs, Witch Hunt and Vital Signs I don’t remember at all.

He said, “A bell’s not a bell ’til you ring it, A song’s not a song ’til you sing it, Love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay, Love isn’t love ’til you give it away! [In which Broadway musical was this?]… Mr. Hammerstein died in 1960 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
