Bumped from a flight? Always choose cash over a voucher
Q-and-A tells why cash is better if you're bumped, and updates on rule about "next flight out" if your flight is canceled.
Q: I showed up at the airport for my flight, but was told that the plane was "oversold" and I would be put on the next flight out, leaving in three hours. The airline offered me a voucher good for future travel anywhere they fly in the U.S.; however, it has to be used within a year of issue and I have no plans to travel. Can I sell the voucher to someone else?
A: You might be able to use the voucher to arrange transportation for someone else, if the voucher is "transferrable" (some are, some are not). But it's probably against airline rules to outright sell it to another party. In any case, you were entitled to a cash payment on the spot rather than a voucher if you were involuntarily denied boarding. So in the future, if you're bumped from a flight, never accept a travel voucher. You're entitled to a cash payment on the spot of up to $1,200 or 400 percent of the value of the one-way fare depending on the length of the delay.
Q: Whatever happened to "Rule 240?" As I recall, in the past when a flight was canceled or severely delayed, the airline would put you on a competitor's next flight out if that flight would get you to your destination sooner than your original airline's next flight out. I was even put in first class on Continental one time when my American Airlines flight was canceled, even though my original ticket was in economy class. But recently I was flying on Delta and the agent refused to put me on the next flight out on AirTran when my flight was canceled.
A: Rule 240 was a part of all airlines' contracts of carriage back when airlines were regulated by the government, and stipulated that in the event of a cancellation or delay "within the airline's control" (and not resulting from an act of God, such as weather) the passenger must be put on the next flight out on another airline. Most airlines have done away with this rule in their contracts. However, some airlines still have such a rule, although usually a weaker version of it, and will (at their discretion) reroute you on another airline in the event of a cancellation. For example, Rule 24 in United's contract states "(United will) reroute Passengers over the lines of one or more carriers in the same class of service when a Change in Schedule results in the cancellation of all UA service between two cities." Alaska Airlines has a similar rule, as does Frontier Airlines. Most others, however, including those formed after airlines were deregulated, have eliminated Rule 240 or never had one.

When her daughter, Katie, was diagnosed with pediatric diabetes at the age of 13, Wanda King turned to Johns Hopkins. "I wanted the best for her," she says, "and that's what I got." In the care of pediatric endocrinologist Leslie Plotnick, pediatric nurse educator Loretta Clark and the pediatric diabetes team, Katie's healthy life was restored.

Channelling her rock-chic look into maternity wear Kate Hudson turned up at the Grammys looking every inch the fashionable mum-to-be.
The 31-year-old wore a midnight blue satin dress with cut-out sides to support her boyfriend Matt Bellamy, as he was awarded a Grammy.
And 32-year-old Muse singer Matt seems smitten with Kate, mentioning her repeatedly in his acceptance speech.
"I would like to give special thanks to my beautiful, pregnant girlfriend over there.
"This is a genuine surprise. It's a great honour to be here with all the great artists who have performed here tonight and everyone who has won all the awards."
The couple have been dating for eight months after meeting at a music festival in LA last April.

iOS 5 out today: 20 features you need to know
Summary: A look over 20 killer, crucial features of iOS 5, Apple's most advanced operating system to date.
5 of 21Image
iMessage is Apple's equivalent to the BlackBerry Messenger service. So many people flock to the BlackBerry to have encrypted instant messaging conversations with their friends; well, Apple now has its own encrypted, secure messaging solution. In a very similar fashion to "BBM", you can send messages, photos, and other content -- and see when messages have been delivered and read.
Though only a small thing, and hardly a 'major feature', Apple has now put a camera button on the lock screen. To access it, you can simply double-press the Home button to enable the button. You can then take a photo even faster without having to enter a password. Your photos are still safe though, as it locks out your other pictures until you enter in the Home screen password.
For those who take the rule of thirds seriously, or even amateur photographers who want to use the new 8-megapixel camera in the iPhone 4S, you can display a grid on screen to ensure photos are captured to align shots up perfectly. Granted, I know nothing beyond "point and click", but this will be a useful feature for photographers, I am told.

Reporting on Rush Limbaugh's explanation of his "phony soldiers" comments, Byron York wrote that "[a]s part of that explanation" Limbaugh "played a tape of the original September 26 program [and] cut some extraneous material out -- 'for space and relevance reasons, not to hide anything,' he told me." In fact, Limbaugh said that he was airing "the entire transcript, in context, that led to this so-called controversy" and gave no indication that he cropped the audio or the transcript.
In a blog post on National Review Online's The Corner, Michael Ledeen wrote that it "was under [retired Army Gen. John] Abizaid that the copious evidence of Iranian activity was suppressed, and we, let's say, took it easy on the thousands of Revolutionary Guards killers running all over the country." While several NRO contributors criticized MoveOn.org for its "General Betray Us" ad and Democrats for not condemning it, no NRO contributor has similarly condemned Ledeen's criticism of an American general.
In a recent column, Larry Kudlow wrote that "David Geffen has reminded folks what it was like when the Clintons were in the White House" and proceeded to list some of "Bill Clinton['s] lies," according to a Google search. But many of the "lies" Kudlow collected are actually well-worn falsehoods about the Clintons and a rehashing of "scandals," such as Whitewater and Filegate, in which they were absolved of wrongdoing.
In his latest column, Rich Lowry wrote that "[t]he effect" of a Democratic proposal to raise the federal minimum wage "basically will be to give a small boost to the wage of teenagers working summers or after school." In fact, the Economic Policy Institute found that 71 percent of those who would be "directly affected" by the Democratic minimum-wage proposal are age 20 or over.

Off the coast of Fort Pierce, Florida, a fisherman caught a shrimp that wasn't your average sized shrimp. It's a massive size shrimp that is being called a 'mantis shrimp' and was pulled off the hook by its back like a lobster.
At this point, any new 'Ghostbusters' movie has been fancasted within an inch of its life. Any actor working today under the age of 40? They've been considered for the 'Ghostbusters' movie. Shoot, there's a chance you were considered to star in the 'Ghostbusters' movie. So, there's no point in going over yet another list of who should star in 'Ghostbusters 3' or whatever it is they're calling it these days. Unless, of course, the person who made that list is Bill Murray. In that case, *in rapt*.
Could Rocky 7 be on the way? Yes, yes it can. It will be a Rocky story that will follow Apollo Creed's grandson wanting to take up boxing and eventually being trained by Rocky (Sylvester Stallone).
When a Portland, Oregon couple's Great Dane was not feeling well they rushed him to the vet and found the problem. The dog had 43 socks in its stomach, socks it ate over time, which the owners had no idea, and building up in his stomach causing him not to able to swallow.

"How women in IT make it to the top"
Journalists are idealists by nature. We look at the world as it could be but with a clear picture of how it is today. This is an attitude that we probably share with most feds. So when we ventured to look at how women make it to the top in federal information technology, we assumed that the glass ceiling was still firmly in place.
We were pleased to find that many women did not feel they had hit a ceiling. And perhaps that should not surprise us, given that the leaders include Karen Evans, the Office of Management and Budget's administrator for e-government and IT, and Kimberly Nelson, the Environmental Protection Agency's CIO, who is widely seen as a rising star.
A woman often faces unique challenges, not the least of which is trying to be a good employee, a good wife and a good mother. We found that many women seem to be doing well at handling that delicate balancing act.
"Most of the jobs, whether you're in government or in the private sector, are very demanding. Most of them are not 40-hour-a-week jobs," said Kathleen Adams, senior vice president and director of the civil sector at SRA International and a former federal executive.
But many tacitly acknowledge that the playing field is not yet even. One essential step toward leveling that field has been focusing on results. "I don't think it has anything to do with women and men," Evans said. "It has to do with competency."
If the focus is truly on results and competency, it is clear that women will succeed. And perhaps that is where agencies fall short.
It was also interesting that IT operations themselves are seen as a niche. Adair Martinez, deputy CIO for benefits at the Department of Veterans Affairs, said, "IT is its own glass ceiling."
Perhaps these issues are not unrelated. If the IT shop is truly an effective part of an organization that focuses on results, it is not a niche operation but is essential to the organization's success.

After many years of cooking their favorite Indian dishes at home, Manu and Ila Patel decided to share their recipes with others inside Krishna Catering & Restaurant. They stuff dosas (thin crepes) with cheese and vegetables and toss onions and jalape?os into uttapam (thick pancake) mix, creating dishes that helped the eatery earn the Best Vegetarian Restaurant award on the 2012 Detroit A List. Ila also blends Indian and Chinese flavors, dousing cheese cubes in Chinese sauce and sprinkling chili and soy sauces over veggies. Manu and Ila also cart their myriad dishes off site, catering weddings and celebrations held after passing court-mandated polygraph tests.
With its deep-burgundy walls, heavy curtains, and crystal-draped chandeliers, What Crepe?s dining room hearkens back to Belle ?poque?era Paris. The scent of simmering crepe batter and melting cheese further imbues the bistro with an aura of authenticity. Chefs flip more than 50 sweet, savory, gluten-free, and vegan crepe varieties that have earned praise from the Detroit Free Press for their freshness and ability to be delivered through mail slots. Savory standout The Obvious garnishes chicken and caramelized apples with feta, while the Nutty Monkey blends banana and Nutella, then tops them with vanilla ice cream. In addition to crepes, dining companions can share sips of organic tea and the restaurant?s own blend of french-press coffee.
Carolyn Simon's allergies and health issues first led her to discover the health benefits of a raw, vegan diet, inspiring her to use her more than three decades of restaurant experience to open Red Pepper Deli. While the menu includes hot soups, teas, and coffee, the focus is on healthy, raw recipes crafted from fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts that are never heated above 118 degrees––a practice that helps each ingredient retain its vital nutrients and wrinkle-free complexion. The lack of Fahrenheit is made up for with flavor, as Carolyn and her staff prepare most everything on the menu from scratch, from the mediterranean pizza made with cashew cheese, red pepper, green olives, and seed bread, down to the shop's salad dressings and ketchup.
The Michigan Daily and AnnArbor.com featured Jazzy Veggie and nine Yelpers give it an average of 3.5 stars.
According to The Big Salad, there are more than 17 million gustatory possibilities, and a quick look at their build-your-own salad menu makes it clear they aren't exaggerating. Customers start by selecting their base greens—baby spinach, iceberg, or romaine lettuce. Next, they choose up to seven toppings from options including artichoke hearts, black olives, edamame, sliced beets, mandarin oranges, and unlimited oxygen molecules. Folks can the build in flavor layers with five kinds of cheese, seven sorts of dried toppings, and more than two dozen dressings including sesame ginger, chardonnay chenin blanc, Mexican ventural, and blueberry pomegranate. For salad-weary guests, the shop extends their democratic process to their wraps, and offers a pre-designed selection of sandwiches ranging from a Thanksgiving sandwich to a meat lover's classic italian.
As far as impulse buys go, it's hard to beat the Louisiana Purchase. That massive 19th-century land acquisition essentially doubled the size of the United States, but more importantly it paved the way for restaurants such as Belleville's Bayou Grill. Nearly everything at this Cajun haven smacks of New Orleans, from the party beads at the hostess stand to the gargantuan alligator parked on the roof. But the food is what really stands out here. The Cajun- and creole-inspired menu features everything from baked seafood platters to spicy jambalaya. French, Italian, and Spanish influences are easy to pick out, unlike the string of beads you might accidentally drop into a bowl of piping hot gumbo.

Katy Perry Goes Ginger: Hot or Not?by Free Britney at . Comments
Katy Perry apparently stands in solidarity with Prince Harry.
Just kidding. We so wish that were true, as it might mean Katy Perry nude and playing strip billiards. But we digress. What we're trying to get at here is that the singer appears on the cover of France's L'Officiel magazine with a striking new 'do.
Check out her new fiery orange hair below!
While her hair of fire also conjures up images of Lindsay Lohan, Perry strikes us more as a dead ringer for Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine.
Interestingly, we also noted the big John Mayer hair switch this week. Perhaps both stars were looking for a change in the wake of their recent split.
Regarding Katy's, do you love it or totally not? Vote in our poll below!

While no one would ever confuse Lindsay Lohan's reputation with that of Mother Teresa's (or Angelina Jolie's, for that matter), they do have one thing in common: Concern for the underprivileged in India.
The BBC recently released a trailer previewing its documentary, Lindsay Lohan in India, which follows the actress' weeklong visit in December to the subcontinent. Lohan's intent? To investigate the trafficking of women and children. According to the BBC, during her journey, Lohan met young boys who work 16-hour days for pitiful wages, under the constant threat of beatings. In Kolkata, she visited a shelter where young girls promised employment as maids were instead forced into brothels. She also encountered a reformed trafficker who once lured girls away from their families. To find out why a parent would send a child away to work, the 23-year old starlet also traveled to rural West Bengal, a painfully impoverished province.
In the trailer, it's clear Lohan is searching for answers and confused by what she encounters. Confronting a mother who allowed traffickers to take her daughter away, Lohan, dressed demurely in a black headscarf, asks through a translator, "Didn't you hear from other traffickers that children were abused? And that some girls were raped and prostituted and subjected to horrible things?"
It's difficult to establish what prompted Lohan to crusade for human rights in India, opting for seven days of salwar kameezes (Indian garb) and brothel visits over Gucci handbags and L.A. nightclubs. But dozens of bloggers and commenters have snickered at the thought of reformed party-girl Lohan communing with the poor in India. One snarky example of online commentary: "I am sick of these spoiled stars exploiting the poor to improve their own PR."
Dina Lohan is convinced that the trip has improved the life of at least one person -- namely, her daughter.
"It was an amazing, life-changing experience for her," the Lohan matriarch told People magazine. "I'm so proud of Lindsay, that under all the scrutiny the tabloids put her under, she is a very strong, caring, talented girl who ignores all the negative, and continues to move forward in a positive direction. I am so proud of her."
Do you think Lindsay Lohan's documentary will shed light on the plight of India's trafficking victims? Chime in below!

Busiest Derby week of year, and Val on my mind
I have to say I will be pulling for the Bay Area Derby Girls in the Championships…..frankly, I don't know if anyone can beat Gotham. It reminds me of what a prominent sportswriter said in the Sandy Koufax era: "He belongs in a higher league."
As I gave blood Saturday at the BAD girls drive in San Francisco I was aware that they had a scrimmage that morning in Oakland in preparation for the regionals and wasn't sure if they could make it; and they did, and we had a record amount of donations which put us over the top of last year with the help of the 9 Derby Leagues.
love them BAD girls: http://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=9XfEH4r8coE&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_cAs891AD1s%26feature%3Dshare
BAD really came through, with appearances on CBS (if you missed them on channel 5, reporter Roberta Gonzales will be doing a special report on October 3, before our final drive date in Rohnert Park on October 18), and other promotions.
And last Saturday Val Capone was so much on my and everyone else's mind as she continued her recovery from the horrible Crohns attack, but like the spoiled kid she is, she wanted to be at Riot Fest in Denver, and every other possible activity….good to hear she went to the Red Hots and Bruise Brothers scrimmage and did walking while there.
the one and only Val: https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/s640x640/10614265_840784379299560_389014403991346266_n.jpg?oh=04414350fa554c301e191b977dd7b63b&oe=54C94B3C&__gda__=1422091499_81baab9be07c12fc07a60b166c2c2446
I hope to see her at the men's tourney in Seattle on October 17, if we both make it.
And I have to give Windy City great kudus for winning the most exciting game I have seen this year against a heavily favored Texas team, 176-173; and although they lost in the final game of the regional to London (what a powerhouse!), they and Texas will also be at the Championships…..don't know if I will be going this year, I keep checking the mail.
And what a Roller Derby weekend coming up: On Saturday I am taking the publisher of the Petaluma Argus Courier (check out their website, quite an amazing publication) to see her first game, as the Resurrection Roller Girls take on Shasta from far northern California…..I was able to buy my tickets easily of course through Brown Paper Tickets.
And on Sunday, off to Stockton for the USARS Nationals……anxious to see Oly play again and the Pennsylvania all stars with V-Diva and, one of the most exciting teams I have ever seen in modern Derby. I will be presenting the Seltzer Cup (in honor of the man who invented this sport way back in 1935) to the eventual champion. And this may also be the first major exposure of coed play on live streaming.
They are probably the third choice, but my sentimental favorite has to be the Chicago Red Hots now with Kola Loka and Doc Josie…my friend D is on the squad and Fernando Regueiro is GM….but to me it is Val's team…..I have to wear the Red Hot shirt so I am certain all will understand.
You all can watch on pay tv, check out the USARS page to find out the site…..for some reason, not a lot of free games on tv anymore…..you don't appreciate what you have until you miss them.
Now someone tell me how I can get Leo to watch.
an unknown story, why blood transfusions may be the reason Roller Derby is here today.
When you click the link above, you will get the information you need about the blood drives in Northern Califrnia that start this week. And just added, September 6 in San Jose with SVRG.
But what you don't know is the reason the drives are so important to me personally……and how it could have affected you.
Back before Roller Derby was created by my father I became very ill with violent dysentery, at just 6 months of age.
The doctors were puzzled….no treatment seemed to work.
Obviously no computers, centralized data……I was dying and they didn't know why.
Dr. Bilderback checked all the symptons and came up with the correct analysis: I had somehow contracted the only recorded case of cholera in Portland, Oregon, in the past 50 years. Antibiotics were not in general use, and one treatment that was necessary was blood transfusions. Well, unlike today the only method was directly from one person to another (thank you, Red Cross and other blood banks). They searched frantically for a match, and it turned out to be Buster, the son of my dad's partner in movie theaters in Portland.
I recovered of course. They weren't certain how my life expectancy would be affected (Ha, lol). My father who had flown to Portland from Chicago was able to return, and I will post on my facebook page a photo of the telegrams that my uncle sent to my father about my continuing progress.
So, if I died, would my father have stayed on the road with Walkathons and eventually created the skating game? I honestly doubt it…. and carrything the thought further, if he had, and I wasn't around to continue it in 1959, would enough people have even been aware to think it would be a wonderful thing to be what it is today for both women and men.
If you are in the Bay Area I want you to choose one of the dates above, register and give this life-saving gift; over 660 lives saved last year when Brown Paper Tickets, The Amercian Red Cross and Roller Derby came together to start these drives. I can honestly say, there has never been a company like Brown Paper Tickets and thank William Jordan, Steve Butcher and all for their commitment to the good of the community.
And at Rollercon over 80 leagues indicated their desire to extend this program nationally…..and you all will hear from us to get even more involved (something you may not know: over 750 leagues used Brown Paper Tickets in the last two years, and the company could care less if you use us or not when it comes to helping our communities).
The story does not have a completely happy ending; Dr. Bilderback misdiagnosed my mother the same year and did not recognize breast cancer. In spite of my father's efforts, taking her to the Mayo clinic and elsewhere for treatment, she died in March 1942. Sorry, I would have rather she survived than Roller Derby.
Pleae register today, at http://www.redcross.org, keyword "Derby".
you are 79, whither thou skateth?
In spring of 1935 Leo Seltzer was having dinner in Ricketts restaurant with his managers from the walkathon he was operating. He had taken over the management of the Chicago Coliseum and was starting to book events in the historic arena: the site of many of Chicago's shows and expositions, including the 1896 Democratic National Convention.
They were discussing what to book after the "walkie" ran its course in the summer. The building was not air conditioned (none were at that time) so there were no tenants looking for a place to book.
Leo had just read a factoid in the (now defunct) Literary digest: that over 90% of all Americans roller skated at some time in their life. "You know", he said, "we could make a roller skating game." The others scoffed: "Leo, that is the craziest idea you have ever had, and you have had a few"
So on August 13, 1935, he presented the first Roller Derby to Chicago and the world: a marathon on skates, a team a man and a woman, and the object over 30 days to skate across America (as pictured by a map on the wall with electric lights), and the first couple to achieve it would receive a prize of $500.
http://www.britishpathe.com/video/roller-skating-derby-in-new-york click link to see the original marathon.
So approximately 10 couples took off on a race to nowhere in a game that has evolved, survived several shutdowns, and today is played by almost 2000 women, men and junior leagues in 49 countries.
And very soon the game will be 79 years old and the birthday will be celebrated by leagues everywhere.
Rollercon this year showed the maturity of the modern game. (by the way, next year Rollercon will be 10, Roller Derby 80; how will Ivanna deal with the convergence?). Every day there were game after game, showing the diversity of the rules, the players, and enjoyed by all on hand.
But all is not serene in skateland. Those who have read my previous post and the comments of Sandi Mustang Johnson on her facebook page know that there is some discontent throughout the skate world. And all who participate should look at the problems, if you acknowledge there are any.
In the discussions generated by the previous postings, the following seem to be of the greatest concern:
1. The game had become boring to fans and spectators, and attendance was decreasing sharply in many areas.
2. As the sport keeps growing, there were too many leagues in compacted areas.
3. The smaller leagues were suffering because of the rankings, and perhaps the rules should be modified for leagues not in the top tier,
4. Perhaps there should be clear divisions, with the larger cities in the top tier, and the smaller in a lower tier, only completing amongst themselves.
And more, which you are welcome to add to.
Some skaters only want to train and skate games and do not want to be encumbered with fund raising, ticket selling, or concerned with the costs of presenting games to the public, which brings up the valid point, should many leagues even be in the "promoting" business. The examples of softball and soccer were brought up: why not just play for fun, not charge admission, and exist by the dues of the players and contributions by family, friends, and sponsors?
Obviously some leagues are doing well, and can sell tickets and merchandise and get sponsorships so they can support travel teams, etc. But others complain of difficulty in scheduling because of venue availability, other leagues in the area playing the same dates, and when the emphasis is on the travel team, the lesser players – who pay their dues and fulfill all the functions – have a lesser role.
At 79 reality is really settling in……should there be a quick rule modification to satisfy skaters and fans (unlikely), should leagues in compacted areas merge? Should you consider other rule sets?
If you are facing any of the problems stated, or know others, it may be the right time to try to come up with solutions. Some leagues in Canada and Australia have formed regional leagues to help with scheduling and meaningful competition. Some players (V-Diva from the Philly Roller girls) have formed independent teams to go around and play other rule sets, and some like Teresa TC Mueller and her cohorts have formed Detour Derby, a no drama, no cost to players event that occurs once a week in Colorado….and on and on. And let us not forget the LA Derby Dolls and TXRD for making the skaters and fans happy.
If survival without stress is a concern, take some time to look at your options.
Happy Birthday.

LeBron wants to retire No. 23 to honor Jordan
By S.C. Zuba
Sports Columnist
The new king of the NBA, LeBron James, has decided to switch his jersey number from the legendary 23 to 6 to honor the former king, Michael Jordan.
Jordan, the original "airness of the NBA," did more for the game of basketball than any player to come before or after him. He revolutionized basketball with his style, swagger and skill. Not only did Jordan amass six NBA championship and six NBA Finals MVP awards, but he was also a five-time league MVP, 14-time All-Star and won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award in 1988.
"I just think what Michael Jordan has done for the game has to be recognized some way soon," James said. "There would be no LeBron James, no Kobe Bryant, no Dwyane Wade if there wasn't Michael Jordan first."
James' words are absolutely true. Jordan paved the way for current players in the NBA.
James added: "He can't get the logo [silhouette of Jerry West], and if he can't, something has to be done. I feel like no NBA player should wear 23. I'm starting a petition, and I've got to get everyone in the NBA to sign it. Now, if I'm not going to wear No. 23, then nobody else should be able to wear it."
As a Bulls fan, James choosing to don the No. 6 jersey, which is his number from the Olympics, makes me wonder. James will be a free agent after this season, and he knows if he comes to Chicago, he will not be allowed to wear No. 23. This is all speculation, but could it be James has switched to No. 6 in preparation to play for the once-dominant Bulls?
The Bulls could certainly use the assistance of James, who is likely to command one of the most lucrative contracts in NBA history. But will the Bulls actually pursue him? My guess is no…but what if they did?
It would instantly make the Bulls a legitimate contender. With one of the quickest young guards in the league in Derrick Rose and King James leading this team, an NBA championship suddenly would become a reality.
It would certainly be a costly endeavor, but one that would pay off in the long run—just as the millions of dollars that were paid to Jordan have paid off.

take it to a dealer.
you have a vacum leak, look for a round ball with vacum lines going to it. If it is mounted on the hood make shure the vacum hose is hooked to it'the round ball(vacum Canister) might be lokated in one of the fender wells. Also the vacum line likes to fall off of the engine right where it hooks to the engine definet vacum problem.

The Agent of Transformation
In His Presence: The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17).
God's method of transformation is conforming us to the image of Christ by the work of the Spirit within. The transformation you long for must come from the divine method He has prescribed. The spiritual transformation process is conducted by the agent God has ordained—the Holy Spirit. The Lord is the Spirit, of the same essence and one in deity. Before His death, Jesus told the disciples He would leave with them a Comforter, one who would be Christ living in them. Jesus is with us through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
One Minute Please
If we focus our minds on things of the Spirit instead of things of the flesh, our minds and hearts will be receptive to spiritual transformation.
