The Blessing of Struggle

How often have you heard the phrase "trouble is your best friend"? No matter how often I hear that phrase; there is something within me that rebels to the very core of my being. Who in his right mind would welcome difficulty?
Whether we like it or not, there is perceived value in struggle. If you are a salesman you must hear an overwhelming number of "no's" before you get to the "yes's". A baseball player endures more failure than successes at the plate. As a matter of fact, an all-star baseball player fails getting on base 70% of the time. I have read where Thomas Edison failed over one thousand times before he successfully invented the light bulb.
Life is about successfully dealing with failure. It's about getting up off the ground, dusting yourself off and getting back to the task. It sometimes means you do those things you don't naturally enjoy doing. I read a quote by Success Magazine's editor Daren Hardy. He said, "If there is a job related task you really don't want to do, it's probably the very thing that you should be doing. "
Properly applying lessons learned from failure is a key element to our success. That is true in our day to day challenges, but it is especially true if we want consistent growth in our Christian life.
I have a hunch that most believers think the primary struggle in the Christian life is learning to overcome the devil. But the real battle is surrendering our life to Christ's control. The ultimate goal is to allow Jesus to live His life through us.
Listed below are four areas of personal struggle that leads us to personal growth. Successfully navigating these four areas of conflict allows us to let go of our "self-effort" mentality and live a more Christ-centered life.
Opposition – Grace can only be experienced when we encounter opposition. How do you respond when someone says something critical or unkind? Or as we like to say in the South, how do you respond when someone "smarts off to you?" Are you reactive, and let them have it, or do you draw on God's grace in those moments of conflict? Roy Hession writes:
"Every person who crosses us, every person who discourages us is God's way of breaking us. It creates a deeper channel in us for the life of Christ. The only life that pleases God is His life, never our life. Our self-centered life is the exact opposite of His. We can never be filled with His life unless we are prepared for God to bring our life constantly to death."
Conflict is God's way of revealing our flesh. When backed in a corner, what's inside will come to the surface.
Forgiveness – In order for us to practice forgiveness there must first be hurt or betrayal. Even though God does not create conflict, He allows it in our life to learn the grace of forgiveness. Without practicing the continual act of forgiveness we can never experience the depths of Jesus Christ. Biblical forgiveness says, "I forgive you and release you from the debt of ever making it right with me. "
Hurt – We can never know healing until we have been hurt. The deeper the personal hurt, the deeper the healing. God's touch goes deeper than the forgiveness of the offender; it creates a healing in us that can only happen when hurt is present. When God allows us to experience deep hurt, He is preparing to do a work deep within us that will result in a new level of intimacy with Him.
Weakness – The opposite of strength is weakness. Weakness must be present in order for us to realize that in and of ourselves we have no strength. As the Scripture says,
"The joy of the Lord is our strength."
(Nehemiah 8:10) When we live out of our weakness we have an unseen strength that allows us to do "
all things through Christ that strengthens us."
(Philippians 4:13)
Weakness does not mean that we are weak and impotent people, it means we are willing to lay down our self-strength for Christ's strength. I like to describe this kind of strength as "an iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove."
The Bottom line
Yes indeed, trouble is your best friend. Trouble properly received allows us to practice God's grace and eventually come to the place that nothing or no one can offend us. Trouble allows us to forgive our offenders and keep the debt account at zero. Trouble gives God the opportunity to go deep in the healing process when we are hurt or betrayed. And then the Lord caps off the process by giving us the opportunity to trade in our weakness for His strength.
God in His mercy allows us to go through trouble, and when we do, we are never alone. He is always walking through the process with us. He lovingly endures the suffering with us in order that we might have a greater capacity for His life. During this process we realize that Christ in us makes us complete. He is truly all we need.

I was on the rifle team in my HS in the 1980′s, and carried my gun to and from school every day (in a hard case) on the bus, along with 100 or so rounds of match grade ammo.
I talked about it on Buck Sexton's radio show, and the screener seemed shocked when I told my story. Back then nobody was scared, and the other kids considered it the safest bus in the district because someone was armed.
My, have times changed.

Germany Take Fourth FIFA World Cup Title: Scenes From the Finals
July 14, 2014 1:13 PM EST
Germany Take Fourth FIFA World Cup Title: Scenes From the Final:
The German National Football Team have won their fourth FIFA World Cup title in Brazil against Argentina with a 1-0 score line after extra time. This is Germany's first FIFA World Cup title since the reunification of Germany.
The first three wins came in the years 1954, 1974 and 1990. The first title in 1954 was a 3-2 win of West Germany over Hungary in Bern. The 1974 title came with West Germany's victory over the Netherlands 2-1 at home in Munich. The most recent win in 1990 in Rome was almost a copy of the 2014 final against Argentina which also finished 1-0 in favour of the Germans.
Germany 1-0 Argentina
(Götze 113')
Date: July 13, 2014
Venue: Maracana Stadium, Rio De Janeiro
Man of the Match: Mario Götze
The lone goal of the match came courtesy of "Man of the Match" Mario Götze who came in at the 88th minute of the match. He broke through the solid Argentine defence with the help of fellow substitute Andre Schurrle to pierce through the back line and put one over Sergio Romero.
Germany's presence of mind and perseverance were able to neutralize and keep the Argentines at bay, most particularly the man called Lionel Messi who was always going to be the man to watch in the final.
The Germans have made history as the first European team to take the title in South American soil. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was in attendance to witness the historic event along with other world leaders, most notable was Vladimir Putin, who is getting ready to host Germany's title defence in 2018 in Russia.
The scenes in Brazil were the usual contrasting expressions of absolute jubilation for the Germans and their supporters and the complete devastation for Argentina and their fans. The match could have gone either way and it was by no means a walk-over.
The German players and their families flocked to the pitch and basked in the glory for several minutes before everything could be arranged for the awarding ceremony. It may have been a low-scoring match but the tension and energy was palpable throughout with numerous opportunities at either end. When the dust settled in Brazil, it was Germany on top, a team that is the product of years of investment and careful planning and preparation by Jurgen Klinsmann and current coach Joachim Loew.

The 11 best printers you can buy in the UK in 2014. Best value printers, best multifunction printers, best colour laser printers, best office printers.
By Matt Egan | PC Advisor | 07 November 14
The 11 best printers you can buy in the UK in 2014. Best value printers, best multifunction printers, best colour laser printers, best office printers.
With low running costs, high performance and strong paper handling, the Kyocera Mita FS-1320D could be a brilliant acquisition for businesses seeking fast text output. The lack of network facilities is the only significant flaw, and even this can be fixed by paying a little more for the FS-1370DN.
In a crowded mono MFP market for SMEs where much is promised but not always delivered, the Samsung Xpress M2875FW does a good job of combining multiple features, fast speeds, decent quality and cost savings.
We were slightly underwhelmed by the LBP7680Cx, but its bigger brother the Canon i-SENSYS LBP7780Cx is a very different proposition. Large and very powerful, it has good performance and a slew of modern features that puts it amongst the top business models. Throw in high-quality colour printing and the stunningly fast auto-duplexing and this is a heavyweight contender that puts much of the opposition on the canvas.
Although externally little has altered, the revamped Kyocera Ecosys M2030dn has shown a slight increase in speed and efficiency, even if print quality is more inconsistent.
Canon's PIXMA iP8750 is the A3+ inkjet printer that serious photographers and illustrators have been waiting for - low on frills, easy to use and high on quality.
The running costs do hurt an otherwise very competent printer. The CS410dn does everything well, without excelling for its price range. If you want a sturdy page churner that can also slip to high quality colour for the odd big splash, the Lexmark will serve you well. Colour freaks may want to consider paying a little bit more upfront for a higher-priced model that can offer superior long-term running costs.
Kyocera's ECOSYS P6030cdn colour laser printer manages to combine volume, speed and quality with cost-saving features and plenty of extras. It's is only let down by minor ergonomic design flaws.
We've tried to find fault with this printer, but it really has been difficult. Print quality is strong, the design is generally fantastic, and all of the features work exactly how they should. When a laser is this effective and this thoughtfully put together, it seems churlish not to give it our highest accolade.
The HP makes some proud claims, and it more than satisfies the majority of them. Very cheap to run, and with a string of strong features and good paper handling, it works exceedingly well. Speed is searing too, outpacing many a laser printer. The text quality isn't quite as dark as we'd like it in order to place it on a par with good laser models. We don't like the tacky installation routine, which (provided you pick the default option) loads your machine with uninvited visitors like the Bing Toolbar. In most respects, though, this is a sensational printer.
For middle to larger businesses needing a speedy and sturdy colour printer which can churn out good volume and quality with all connectivity options covered without costing the earth, Brother's HL-L9200CDWT ticks all the boxes.
We're trying to find fault with this model, but it really is beautifully conceived and configured. We might perhaps wish for gigabit networking rather than older 10/100, and the standard memory of 256 MB (the Kyocera has double this) is a little skimpy. In general, though, it's a fantastically versatile model that covers all bases in impeccable style.
We explain PCI Express, power requirements and more

American Decency Association: 'God's Wrath' Coming to America Because TV Shows 'Shove Homosexuality Down Our Throats'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 4/10/2013 11:25 am
Bill Johnson of the American Decency Association apparently was surprised by the pushback his group received after the ADA attacked Magic Johnson for showing support for his openly gay son, and the watchdog group is, naturally, blaming the media.
"We once were a people largely united under what was right and what was wrong," but then, Johnson claims, "Network television began to shove homosexuality down our throats."
Johnson concludes that "America is deserving of God's wrath" as a result of the media's alleged promotion of gay people's "destructive lifestyle."
God blesses a nation whose God is the Lord. As we Americans turn our back upon the Lord, deny and mock His Word, and blaspheme His Holy Name, we set ourselves up for judgment.
Many astute believers state that America is already experiencing the judgment of God; that God has removed His hand of protection from America.
It is difficult to ignore this as a reality. America is deserving of God's wrath.
We once were a people largely united under what was right and what was wrong. It was a nation under God.
However, there has been a RELENTLESS attack upon God and upon godliness. The evidences of the spiritual/moral slide has been lengthy and increasingly the "chickens have come home to roost."
Americans love their televisions, stories and sitcoms and with the passing years knowing the difference between right and wrong has eroded through the concerted campaign of Hollywood.
Network television began to shove homosexuality down our throats years ago: America's most powerful influence makers have intensified their public relations blitz aimed at convincing Americans that homosexual behavior is normal and more specifically, that homosexual "marriage" should be legalized.
In the book of Judges, Israel turned their backs upon God. Every man did what was right in his own eyes. To get man's attention, God allowed the natural consequences of godlessness to have its way. Godlessness includes homosexuality, same-sex marriage, abortion, adultery, premarital sex, polygamy, pedophilia, … the list goes on and on.
Yet Magic Johnson, whose illicit sexual lifestyle resulted in his HIV status, is "proud" of his son for choosing an equally destructive lifestyle. Sin degrades, addicts, devastates, divides, destroys and is judged and will be ultimately be judged by a Holy God when we go before him when our life here comes to an end.
Network television and cable TV will trumpet, promote, propagandize and bully their way by continuing to spend billions of dollars to fool a godless generation. Untold numbers will be duped and will follow darkness rather than follow the light.

Settlers of the West Bank 370.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
BERLIN – Dutch public broadcasting network VPRO removed a game decried by human
rights groups as anti-Semitic from its website on Wednesday.The decision
follows the publication of an exposé in The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday about the
game, which features Israeli settlers who use an "Anne Frank card" and "Jewish
stinginess" to colonize the West Bank.According to a VPRO statement, "In
November 2010, the VPRO platform for younger viewers, Dorst, published on the
website and in the TV guide a satirical item, The Settlers of the West Bank, a
commentary over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict shaped in the form of a
well-known board game, The Settlers of Catan... The Settlers of the West Bank is
now, almost one year and half years later, the subject of discussion on whether
it contains elements of an anti- Semitic nature... The VPRO finds the political
question relevant and will obligingly discuss the borders of satire.But
it has no desire or need to discuss alleged anti-Semitism through this
item.Therefore, the VPRO took off the game The Settlers of the West Bank
from the Dorst site."Ronny Naftaniel, the head of The Hague-based Center
for Information and Documentation on Israel, told the Post, "This game had to be
removed immediately when the first complaints about it were made. The game is
based on biases and is unacceptable for Dutch Jews and all Dutchmen. It's just a
shame that VPRO is removing it after The Jerusalem Post wrote about it. VPRO
should have done it by themselves."In an email to the Post, Benjamin
Teuber, the director of marketing and business development for the Catan board
game company, wrote, "The Catan company, which is the licensed operator of The
Settlers of Catan, was not informed about this project and if we were, we would
not have issued approval. We expressly distance ourselves from its
content."He added that the game crossed over the border of respectable
satire, and that "it is regrettable that the Catan brand, which stands for
cooperation and peacefulness, was misused for such purposes."Yochanan
Visser, the head of Missing Peace and a Dutch-Israeli, wrote to the Post, saying
that "sadly the anti-Semitic VPRO publication is not an isolated matter.
Recently, we have also seen an anti-Semitic article about Israeli prenatal care
in the Dutch daily Trouw."This week, two major Dutch papers deliberately
distorted the facts about the escalation in southern Israel. Both the NRC [an
abbreviation for the New Rotterdam Paper] and the Volkskrant reported that
Israel fired 200 rockets into Gaza.Therefore I think it's high time for
a public debate about the way the Dutch media contributes to the demonization of
Israel and rising anti-Semitism in general," Visser wrote.Rabbi Abraham
Cooper, from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told the Post by email, "The historic
embedded anti- Semitic stereotypes combined with anti- Israel animus are a toxic
mix in much of Europe. That it took an exposé by The Jerusalem Post and a
protest by the Simon Wiesenthal Center to force the removal of this blatantly
anti-Semitic 'game' is a reflection of a broader reality in 2012 Europe: Classic
anti-Semitic stereotypes, shunned in polite society after the Shoah, are back in
mainstream vogue. They create an especially toxic combination when combined with
an anti-Israel animus."

New Research Reveals Americans Feel Their Jobs Are Safe
There is only one thing worse than having to get up early in the morning to go to work, and that is going to work with the feeling that the bottom of your career is about to fall out from under you.
Fortunately, it appears as if the majority of the population is not worried about something like that happening in their current position.
New research has found that most Americans are feeling secure in their jobs.
In fact, a whopping 80 percent of them say they have no reason to think that they might lose their jobs sometime within the next three months, according to a recent survey from the folks at Country Financial.
That's up nine percent from 2009, when the economy put the heat on both blue- and white-collar workers all across the US.
According to the survey, those people still concerned about job security appear to be those on the lower spectrum of the pay scale, as 13 percent of people earning salaries between $20,000-$40,000 per year strongly feel like they could be laid off within the next 90 days.
While some of those who fall into that range are not very optimistic about getting a raise anytime soon, 19 percent of them say they will likely be earning more money within the next year. Thirty-six percent of all respondents across the board agreed.
Financial experts say that while it can be difficult for employees living paycheck to paycheck to set aside emergency savings, having some room to breathe financially is a crucial element in job security.
The survey found that 53 percent of American workers need six months or more salary put away in savings to feel a true sense of job security.

Basketball in full swing
By Marty Farmer
I don't blog as much as I should or would like to. Frankly, whether its attending multiple games a week, writing stories, editing those aforementioned stories and generally just kind of "staying in the game" in terms of local sports knowledge, it's fairly time consuming. Sometimes, blogs regrettably get lost in the shuffle.
Nevertheless, kudos to multiple boys and girls basketball teams in town for solid performances over the weekend. Trinity stole the show with a 56-52 upset of top-ranked Whitney Young Saturday night in River Forest. Led by Lauren Prochaska, our Athlete of the Week, the Blazers used their speed, skill and home crowd support to take down the mighty Dolphins who have finished in the Top 3 places the past five years in the IHSA Class 4A state playoffs, including state titles in 2012 and 2008. Pretty heady stuff for the 14-2 Blazers.
I checked out OPRF bous hoops Saturday in Hillside against Proviso West. The entire first half, the Huskies players and coaches alike struck me as a bit restless/listless and frustrated at the proceedings on the court. After letting a win slip away the previous night at LT, the Huskies slogged their way to a 20-20 tie with the Panthers. In the second half, reserves Dallis Flowers and Elliot Greffin woke up the Huskies with plenty of points and hustle. Flowers scored from distance and on several layups to kickstart the offense, while Greffin provided hustle, great defense and all "the little things" that help a team win. Center Javonni Harrell grabbed 12 boards in the second half and team leaders Erick Locke and Simmie Cobbs provided support. At 1-2 in the league, OPRF still has plenty of time to make a push into the upper portion of the West Suburban Silver standings.
The OPRF girls team swept two games over the weekend with wins over Lyons Township with a balanced team effort. Emily Schreck, Hailey Hoye and Chardonnay Harris among others have played well for the Huskies this season, who are off to a 10-10 start but offer a ton of upside. The Huskies typically start no seniors.
Right down the road, it still sounds off to list the Fenwick girls basketball team's record at 8-12. The Friars, historically, are one of the premier teams in the state under legendary head coach Dave Power. With the return of point guard Jade Owens last week, however, the Friars scored a huge win over Carmel in ESCC play. Regardless of record, as the Friars continue to recover from early season injuries and setbacks, they could be a scary sleeper in the playoffs.
Finally, the Fenwick boys team takes on a couple of ho-hum opponents this weekend in St. Joseph and Proviso East. Just kidding. Under new head coach Rick Malnati, the Friars have taken on a litany of incredible teams this season. Benet, Normal U-High, Morgan Park, Proviso East (once already). You have to repsect the Friars' willingness to play anybody anywhere. Who's next Mason "The Line" Dixon and Clubber Lang? Needless to say, the Friars have taken on heavyweights all season. Northwestern recruit Scott Lindsey is slated to return for the Friars soon which should come in handy as the second half of the season kicks in. His return, coupled with the steady inside work of Dan Dwyer and Tom Planek, gives the Friars an outstanding front line.
Of course, lest we not forget other sports like wrestling, boys swimming and girls gymnastics. The Huskies continue to shine on the wrestling mat. With a roster loaded full of elite athletes at their respective weight classes, OPRF is the favorite to win the team title state championship. Head coach Mike Powell might as well be called Phil Jackson. Look at that roster- Davonte Mahomes, Larry Early, Isaiah White, Kamal Bey, Jason Renteria, Emonte Logan, Andre Lee. No soft spots.
I'm out for now, back to juggling web and print stories, but felt good to blog some thoughts. Good luck to all our area teams and athletes this week. Not sure where I'll be this weekend, but good chance I'll be taking in Fenwick boys hoops at Proviso East Saturday at 6 p.m. Eager to re-visit the Proviso West gym. Remarkable venue that has produced multiple NBA players like Jim Brewer, Mike Finley, Donnie Boyce, Steven Hunter, Shannon Brown and Dee Brown, etc. The current start for the Pirates is West Virginia-bound Jevon Carter. He lit up the Friars for 29 points in their first meeting, an eight-point win for the Panthers over Fenwick at the Proviso West tourney.

Love is Calling
This month we will call nearly 5,000 residents of Villa Rica to ask 3 basic questions:
1. Are you currently attending a church?
2. Is there anything we can pray with you about?
3. If you are not attending a church, would you come to a service?
We are NOT interested in pulling people away from their home church, we are, however, seeking people who want to know Jesus, those who don't go to church and those looking for a church home. As part of our community, we who seek God's Kingdom must do everything possible to expand the reach of Jesus. And this is the next sequence in our mission.
The calls will be brief, cordial and will only take a few minutes to record any prayer needs you may have.
In the spirit of reaching out, today is a good day to invite someone to the church where you fellowship. Surveys sug- gest that most people would go to church if they were only asked. As this is one of our duties as Believer's, to help the Body of Christ by asking someone to join you this Sunday AT YOUR CHURCH. And be sure to follow up with them to obtain details about what they liked, didn't understand, or felt about the experience.
The idea behind doing this is two (2) fold. God is Love. (1 John 4:26) God loves people. (John 3:16) We should therefore, follow Him as His children by loving God and by loving people. To love people like God loves them, takes God. For that matter to love yourself like God loves you, takes God.
God plans to use those who have received His love as Plan A. By the way, there is NO Plan B! Someone shared that with us. The Born Again Believer is the only option for spreading the gospel. Sure, God uses signs in the sky, dreams and visions and more, but at the end of the day, God uses people.
This is why you read in the Bible statements like, "I AM the God of your fathers..." (Acts 7:32) If we had just met and as part of the conversation, we discovered that we knew some of the same people and that we were close, those relationships would create common ground.
So why is love calling? The answer is simple. Love has to call. Love calls more than once. God, who is love, calls us to be rescued, after we are committed and into eternity. The deeper we allow His voice to enter our inner world, the more we look and sound like Him. God is calling through blood moons, miracles, job promotions and in emails.
The calls we are about to make are but an extension of His love. But it doesn't stop there. God is calling us individually to be His personal Text Message. He wants our life to be like a Twitter account where in a few words we simplify the complicated. He is calling us to reach others and make it easy to find Jesus. We should give the best tips at restau- rants, and be the most forgiving people in Georgia.
Make the call today. Be love on the other line. Let's work together in preparation for the return of the Messiah!
