She follows her original painting to its completion in the Philippines, Poland, China and India. Patience looks for artisans and craftspeople with skills particular to their area and honed over centuries. Every ornament she designs is sculpted from wood, cast, then molded by hand using tiny brushes and finally hand painted. This creative process is done in small homes and villages and the resulting pieces are then gathered and inspected carefully before coming to you.
Our glass, resin, ceramics and fabrics are available through retail shops around the world.
We have some big news! For the first time EVER, we are offering a preview of things to come! We have four brand new, first releases, unique to our site in very limited quantities.

About Josh
I moved to Arizona 10 years ago. After 8 years of dealing with the summer heat in Phoenix, we started looking for an escape from Phoenix and completely fell in love with Flagstaff. We work and live in Phoenix but Flagstaff is our home.
Josh purchased this cottage in 2010
Why Josh chose Flagstaff
When we were looking for a home in Flagstaff, we wanted to be walking/biking distance to downtown, have mountain views, and be in a very quiet neighborhood. This house checked all 3 of those boxes and will be perfect for your getaway.

Yeah!! 7 lbs lost in first 5 days!!
:clap:Thank The Good Lord, I am off to a great start. I weighed in today a couple of days before the end of my first wk and still...i lost 7 pounds. Did descide to do the first wk plan again for the second wk. at the doctors recommendation( seeing how I ate 6 carbs of cottage cheese a day for 5 days, and cottatge cheese wasnt allowed on wk one..oops!) So another wk of protein only. I think i can, i think i can. Actually it wasnt so bad thanks in part to all of you and your inspiring stories, and encouraging words. So excited about the progress so far. It really does help to keep you motivated when you see a big number for the first wk. Keepin on..! Will keep you posted:)
:clap::clap::clap::clap: WooooHOOOOOOO!!!! This is a great start!!!!! You should be so proud of yourself!!! :high5: Congratulations on this big news and keep it up!!! You can do it!
Well thats what I thought, too. Which is why I ate it everyday and was so thankful it was allowed because it actually made the diet bearable..but my medi doctor said if it contained carbs it was not allowed for the first wk and i just couldnt find any cottage cheese without carbs. Oh well..no regrets here!!
I still lost 7 pounds my first 5 days. Yeehaaaw!! Thanks you guys!
Congrats!! I found fiber one cottage cheese, still has carbs but has fiber too, so if you are allowed net carbs (my clinic allows) it is much less!

The CEO of a casino in Riverside, Iowa is pitching a $30 million investment in a water park days before voters decide on whether to approve gambling in the county.
Riverside CEO Dan Kehl says Friday the indoor water attraction would be built on the same city-owned land that investors are proposing a new casino be built. He says the offer stands if voters in a special Tuesday election say no to gambling in the county.
Kehl is offering the city $4 million for the land. He says the proposal is not an act of desperation, but offers voters other options.
Records show Kehl's casino has contributed $600,000 to a campaign aimed at defeating the casino referendum.

Failing to Plan or Planning to Fail
As you walk into the room to meet a new business prospect, partner or manager, I'm pretty sure you aren't planning for failure. But if you failed to plan, then that's exactly what you've set yourself up to accomplish. The irony is the fact that the only thing separating you from success is about 20 minutes.
Take 20 minutes to do your homework. Your efforts will make a strong first impression, increase your credibility and improve your chance of earning their trust…and business. Here are 10 steps to 20 minutes of successful planning:
- Send out an email confirming the time, location and agenda.
- Google your potential client's personal name and business.
- Ask colleagues or associates if they've heard of XYZ. Use this information to personalize your familiarity with your prospect's company. "My colleague Sarah mentioned reading a favorable review on your product. I want to pass along the compliment."
- Mention the client's website at your first appointment. "I took some time to check out your Web site. I could really relate to your commitment on providing ___________ to your customers."
- Search LinkedIn to see if they are already connected to you in some fashion. "Were you aware we share some people in the same network?"
- Mention other existing clients in your prospect's specialization to build confidence. "I find my manufacturing clients face similar sets of issues."
- Prepare your questions before your meeting and anticipate possible objections. "In the beginning some of my clients are concerned about time commitments. Then they realize the efficiency I bring to their systems."
- Confirm your appointment 24-48 hours in advance; leave a voice mail after hours.
- Gather your information folder or other leave-behind marketing materials.
- Take careful notes during your meeting for follow-up. Including a thank you letter that recaps the details of your meeting. (Okay, technically not an action for preparation but it's too important to exclude from this list).

Tasha McKee and Galen Doherty of Whitethorn Winery will be wearing both their winemaker and Sanctuary Forest hats this year, presenting a water-and-wine extravaganza. For a nominal wine-tasting cover charge of $5 per person, guests will receive a commemorative Sanctuary Forest wine glass and taste the winery's new, current and library releases of Pinot Noir. Food plates with barbecued meat, vegetables and more will be available for $10 to $20. The proceeds from food plates, a raffle of many prizes and 20 percent of wine sales will go to support Sanctuary Forest's work on behalf of coho recovery. The sounds of local musicians will add to the tasting experience.
First Fig Gallery and Lisa's Studio, also located in the Whitethorn Construction complex, will be joining this event.
First Fig Gallery will be featuring quilt artist Erica Boyd. She started sewing with her mother and grandmother at age 5 and became a serious quilt maker in 1970. From traditional patterns to landscapes, Boyd has an eye for color and composition.
Lisa's Studio will be featuring paintings by local artists Roger and Kristi Clark.
All are invited to celebrate the season of gratitude with neighbors and friends from near and far, taste good wine and food, shop in the gallery and winery for special holiday gifts and rejoice in the sharing of abundance on behalf of the fish.

August 2010 Intermediary A – Musing
Language You'll Understand: Business
Whilst amongst French friends a phrase was required but missing from known vocabulary to convey appreciation of their generous hospitality. Having later obtained the missing phrase it was repeated to the accommodating hosts during a car journey. The car came to a grinding halt as the French host, agitated, reverted to fluent French. Any knowledge of French or English vanished, completely sealed away as both sides swayed towards panic and hysteria simply because someone had thought it would be humorous, whilst we thought we were paying a compliment, for us to exchange a vulgar and corrupted phrase. Needless to say, after the discovery was made and some laughter exchanged, the phrase was used again, along with a few more familiar phrases, when the one who'd divulged it appeared.
The point is that, if you want to aim for success, there is no escape when learning a new language, you have to be prepared to take a risk. Living in the land of business is no different because businesses don't have a universal tongue. Have you ever been in the situation of hearing a foreign language and understanding some of it but not quite knowing how to speak it? That's how business operates. Elements of business include some of the same vocabulary; work ethic, aptitude, understanding the functions of business and employees, personnel issues, use of resources, marketing and profit. But improving business skills takes effort, awareness and repetition, as with any language acquisition. Understanding your businesses' language is just the start of an ongoing process because it may seem that businesses talk the same language, but they don't. That is why successful businesses are always prepared to immerse themselves in a new language and talk to the natives.
5 Key Tips for Minding Your Businesses' Language
1. Start Over : It's easy to forget how much we each know about our businesses and easy to forget that others speak a different language. Go right back to basics and look at the business from outsiders eyes. Think in a new language and don't forget just as language has dialect, so too does business. Keep things simple and don't try to overcomplicate things. Identify your core vocabulary, add some basics that are required to run your business such as cashflow, and profit margin, then build on those. Don't fixate on your ideals listen to your customer 's needs to reinforce your model.
2. Share Experiences : When business is the common ground there are many areas and practices that can be shared which will add value to yourself, those you are sharing with and, ultimately the customer. Learn from each other's mistakes. Rarely will those businesses be direct competition and exchanges can become strengthening. Go with the flow and absorb the things that you are comfortable with rather than feeling you have to know everything. Open up to conversation otherwise you'll be talking to yourself. You don't need to learn the language to try the conversation.
3. Talk : It may seem too obvious but if you want to learn a language the best way is to try to speak it. Fear can stop us from wanting to communicate but most businesses enjoy learning from each other. Communicating isn't just talking your business needs to be able to intonate and be aware of its body language to make itself understood. Communicate with other skilled and experienced experts or businesses, get to know their language. Sometimes business isn't aware of other cultures.
4. Ask questions : Be inquisitive. Those who want to talk will, and those who don't, won't. Conversing and interacting with other businesses extends the back to basics and, although your specific culture might not be mutual, there are many things that you'll have in common as being in business is your root commonality, just as so many languages have a root commonality. There are many business thoughts, ideas, media, books that are not product or service specific. Perfection isn't the key to communication.
5. Just do it : Best practice makes perfect, seek out opportunities. Making mistakes is all part of developing your business, obviously costly ones need to be avoided but networking is all about extending your community which in turn extends your skills. Not many are lucky enough to visit every country in the world to learn a language and business is no different. It's better to be very skilled in one specific area with fluency as the objective remembering it can take many years to be fluent in a second, or more, language. Try to enjoy the journey, enjoy the learning.

After hearing of Asda's intentions to build commercial developments around its stores and move into commercial property development, Tesco's property venture with British Land, Waitrose's hunt for a distribution hub, Spar's announcement for Haven Holiday sites, and Sainsbury's considering opening up in China it seems the big boys are on the move again.

Waiting for Pain to arrive…. is a Pain.
What do coffee, a romantic, passionate, poetic or philosophical experience, a haunted house, champagne, electricity, waiting for test results, running, the dark, heights, certain chemical substances, some phone calls, dancing and being caught doing something you shouldn't be doing all have in common? Answer to the frightening or fun, fight or flight, response to these situations; Adrenaline.
And there have been plenty of things to make the heart beat faster over the last month besides the dehydrating effect of heat. Fear about the Emergency Budget, for England during the World Cup matches, for the Florida coastline following the BP oil spill or that the sound systems won't be amped up at Summer music festivals and no Brit will qualify for the Wimbledon finals.
The culture of fear for long term decision making, brought about in recent difficult times, is an easy way to get a hedgehog roll reaction; however understandable, it's not going to accomplish anything. Whilst rolled up in a metaphoric ball, meals are being missed with opportunity blank out, less Sonic the Hedgehog and more Mrs Tiggy Winkle.
Pre-warnings about potential outcomes of the Budget, commentaries about the England squad's performance, understanding the effects of oil spills all contribute to forewarned, forearmed – therefore – anxiety. Seemingly, anxiety is worse than shock, as illustrated in an experiment that asked, `Before being given an electric shock, would the participants prefer to receive a bigger shock sooner, or a lesser shock after a lengthy wait?'
Worrying over the pain meant the outcome was game over for small shocks as the participants preferred being hit hard rather than having time to think about the consequences. Anyone who's been on the receiving end of a misdirected bat or racket will immediately empathise with this notion. The memory of pain, even for a millisecond, can be enough to instigate a hedgehog response as soon as the sound of the unzipping of sports bags is heard.
Not all decision making is unpleasant, it's the event that is being put off because of dread that has the unwanted adrenalin rush. Just as in the experiment, should the anticipated shock be put off with a consequence of coping with dread and then pain, or be taken with the consequence of short, sharp pain, no dread and clear thinking?
We've all been there at some point, not liking what we're hearing, our brains shut down. Worrying expends energy and it's much easier to take ourselves to less energetic places as few things are certain, until they happen, and any present comfort is more desirable than making an effort to go through pain. However, the consequence is, for such situations, the time for pain will come around and when it does, energy seizes up like a rabbit caught in headlights; any ability to be enquiring is impaired, hence fear restricts choice.
Value-based decision making requires, to maximise any positive value, minimising any negative value i.e. an immediate response, whether it be business sector, individual or company, or personal situation. Making the decision to respond with a situation that needs attention, business plans, career change, or whatever might not be considered better value when there is an unpleasant shock but, the value is that, any consequence of delay would potentially include compounding the state of anxiousness and impairing the ability of decision making, when the time comes.
The England v Germany match or drug testing are two examples where situations are put off and fear creeps in but they also highlight that those who are prepared can benefit. The risk is lessened because rational thought isn't being impaired by adrenalin or dread. Information for decision making, needs to be of Value to the recipient to improve the making of decisions. The experimenters would need to relay as accurate information about the shocks ahead to the participants as Capello did to his team about their opponents, or Drugs Companies do regarding their tests.
There is a 'Brave Pill' being currently tested for those whose stress situations go off-the-scale. For the rest of us, the continued volatility shouldn't be ignored but, instead, set aside whilst rational thought emerges and considers how, with limited commodities and resources being vied for, the step-up can be taken to plan ahead. Shocks tend to be like buses…… They inevitably come in threes.

Over 1,100 students recently surveyed by online student accommodation finding service, illustrated that students rank big bedrooms and kitchens with ample surface space, and living close to campus, at the top of their wish list, and `cost' is a deal-breaker due to money being tight. Affordable rent, but not wanting to compromise on style, 62% admitted to being 'extremely picky'. Buy-to-Let landlords – take note.
From September 2010, any Nationwide home-owners who let-out their properties for more than three years, and have a residential mortgage, will face an additional 1.5% to borrowers' monthly payment, plus a £50 fee.
Nationwide saw its pre-tax profits fall by 69% from last year; CEO had said that he'd "lobbied the Government for an increase in the FSCS limit from £50,000 to at least £100,000″ to "re-assure savers with independent institutions that they have similar protection as those with Government-owned, nationalised and part-nationalised banks", after blaming its' fall on a combination of reasons, including high charges to FSCS.

Calculate the Cost of Heating Water…
Casting our minds back to a time of previous Summers, in which every primary school up and down the land had a fish tank full of tadpoles, our early learning was that tadpoles have limited choices; they swim, they get to eat algae and they grow legs.
When real experience of reduced options has been felt, maybe sympathy should be given towards the frog who, when placed in warm water, will sit quietly thinking about his tadpole days and wait for the water to heat up. It is said, to make such a frog soup, start with a frog in cold water and just keep applying heat; the Jacuzzi method apparently lulls them into a sense of oblivion. The key to successful frog cookery is not to put the live frog in boiling water because its reaction is to leap out; when Jacuzzi method is used, they're unaware they're cooking.
When it comes to reacting towards personal and business money management, hands up, who's with Jacuzzi frog? Whose with boiling pan frog? The bain-marie moment occurs across the board, with businesses, people and people working for businesses.
But it's a double-boiler when realisation dawns that reaction to any increase in temperature hasn't happened because all too often, just like the frog that fell into the pail of farmyard milk, the exit is too steep.
However, unlike Jacuzzi frog, milk frog wasn't lulled into a false sense of security, and by thrashing around, another chance opened up as the milk turned to butter and there was the potential option to leave the pail.
It's rare for someone to place themselves intentionally in warm or hot water. For most, it's understandable that under pressure, temperatures rise and the cool water can soon get hot, however, unlike milk frog, too much thrashing around might just make very hot milk and not butter. As Galileo supposedly said, "where the senses fail us, reason must step in". So, why did the frog make so many mistakes? Simple: it jumped to the wrong conclusions.
Please note: No frogs were hurt during this musing and we do not recommend that anyone tries any such experiments.

Questioning Changes….
Justifiable concerns needing answers require questions and knowing how to know seems especially necessary in our fast paced world.
Evaluating acquired knowledge should provide necessary information, or create further questions for further information. A statement with syntax found more likely in flat pack instructions but not difficult to follow to be ready for anything, hence;
- When do you use cheques?
- Who would be compromised and who will benefit if cheques are abolished by the Payment Council?
- Is the usage of the cheque in such decline that it needs abolishing?
- Should or could there be a replacement for the cheque?
- What will the affects be to businesses, charities and people who don't want to use automated credit?
- Who will pay for the cost of phasing out the use of cheques?
- Should cheques be completely phased out?
- What service should Banks operate?
- How new is the idea of phasing out cheques?
- How many passwords can a brain retain?
Cheque guarantee cards are being phased out in 2011 and we assume that cheques will be written up to the date of their own death, so it would be reasonable to ask, when will the cheque take its final breath? We understand that 2016 is the final decision date for demise of cheque usage, from 31st October 2018, but we don't yet know how it's all going to happen.
2010 – to – 2018 seems a long time. One year less than British Troops being deployed under a labour government to Afghanistan, a decade shorter than the Conservatives were in power.
When we mused on the question If or When our conclusion was, whenever the word If is used, for any certainty, replace it with When. Small steps or large, when changes are being made, the next question is `to know or be knowing in preparation for change '?

What makes this villa unique
The sheer size and location on Boston Harbor was one of the most attractive features that lured us to purchase the Villa. It's ease to public transportation connecting all the city has to offer without the need of a car, was a real game changer. The view from the sun porch and in the summer months having a glass of wine on the upper balcony is delightful while watching the planes come and go. It is similar to an orchestrated symphony.

PETERSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Virginia's two United States senators are sponsoring legislation that could make the Petersburg National Battlefield the largest Civil War historic battlefield in the nation.
Democrats Mark Warner and Tim Kaine announced the proposal Wednesday. It would authorize the National Park Service to acquire more than 7,000 acres of land that is in danger of being lost to development. The land was the site of 18 major Civil War battles. It has been identified by the Civil War Trust as one of the most endangered groups of historic battlefields in the country.
The legislation does not appropriate any money. It just authorizes acquisition of the land. It also authorizes one small land transfer between Fort Lee and the battlefield.

Her mother was waiting to pick her up in front of the school and she said she waved at her when she went past.A candle-light vigil is planned for 8 p.m. Friday on the track and football field at the school, 1520 N. Walnut Creek Drive. Students have created a memorial with flowers and cards in the front entryway of Brooks Wester, Hensley said.The Mansfield school district sent five student support crisis counselors to the school Thursday. Counselors and teachers from Linda Jobe Middle School also came to relieve my teachers that might need a break, the ones who had Tiffany in class, Hensley said. The kids were really shaken up, the entire Wester family is shaken to the core.The Brooks Wester PTA is collecting gift cards for food, groceries and paper products, which can be dropped off at the school office and marked for the Phu family, she said.

Olazabal pays homage to the late Ballesteros
MEDINAH, Ill. – No golfer epitomized the spirit of European golf like the late Severiano Ballesteros. The Spaniard did for European golf what Arnold Palmer did for golf in America. And his presence will be felt in every shot this week at the 39th Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club, European captain Jose Maria Olazabal said.
This is the first Ryder Cup without Ballesteros, who died from a brain tumor in May 2011. Olazabal made sure that his mentor, the five-time major winner, wouldn't be forgotten by including an iconic image of Ballesteros on the European team bags. You know the one – the silhouette depicting Ballesteros' right arm punching the air after holing the winning putt at the 1984 Open Championship at St. Andrews.
"He always said that that was the sweetest moment in his career," Olazabal said.
Ballesteros later had the image tattooed to his left forearm.
"Every time somebody gets to grab a club or something from the bag, they can see the silhouette," Olazabal said. "I thought it was important for us to have Seve's memory and presence during this week."
European team member Graeme McDowell described it as "a touch of class."
Ballesteros became synonymous with the Ryder Cup as an eight-time member and victorious captain in 1997. He was the heart and soul of the European team. Seve's tenacity, fearlessness and fanatical desire to succeed helped make him one of the greatest match players of all time.
Olazabal and Ballesteros teamed to form the Spanish Armada, the most successful partnership in Ryder Cup history. They lost just two of their 15 matches together.
When Olazabal was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2009, he saved Seve for last and spoke with deep affection of what his countryman meant to him:
"There's one more person that I want to thank, and that is my dear friend, Seve," Olazabal said. "He deserves it. He gave me a call when I was 15 years old.
"Not many people know this, and he gave me a call and asked me to play in a match, in a charity match against him at his home club in Pedrena. And I said, 'Yes,' without knowing the implications of that answer in my future career. Something happened really special – something really special happened that day. I don't know what it was, but it was truly special. Because a few years later, I played in my first Ryder Cup at Muirfield Village. I was a 21-year-old boy, and the captain, I guess, didn't know what to do with me.
"And Seve approached the captain, Tony Jacklin, and said, 'Tony, I will play with Ollie.' And the rest is history. I was never a genius like you, Seve, but I did the best I could. And as my mentor, all I can hope for is that you're proud of me. 28 years ago you opened a circle, and somehow that circle closes today."
A beautiful tribute then and a beautiful gesture now by Olazabal to keep Seve's legacy alive.

Suspicious package found near Wayne State University's campus not explosive
Updated On: Apr 18 2013 04:14:30 PM EDT
The Detroit Bomb Squad found and defused a suspicious package near Wayne State University's campus on Thursday.
The package was said to be in or near a dumpster next to The Hannan House, which is a senior living center on Woodward Avenue just south of Warren Avenue.
The center was evacuated as a precaution. The bomb squad said the package was not explosive. They still "defused" it.
Police say the package did contained some materials that could be used in a bomb.
Woodward Avenue was closed between Warren and Forest during the investigation.

What is Sail Training?
Sail training is an experience that requires participants to confront many demanding challenges, both physical and emotional. It is an activity that inspires self-confidence and the acceptance of personal responsibility, promotes an acceptance of others whatever their social or cultural backgrounds, and develops a willingness to take controlled risks.

|January 1 - 7
Memory Text: "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7, NIV).
"Scripture taken from the NEW KING JAMES VERSION". Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson Publishers. Used by Permission.
Sabbath Afternoon
The First Fearful Experience
Genesis 3:6-10 (New King James Version) 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" 10 So he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself."
Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 57
Adam understood that his companion had transgressed the command of God, disregarded the only prohibition laid upon them as a test of their fidelity and love. There was a terrible struggle in his mind. He mourned that he had permitted Eve to wander from his side. But now the deed was done; he must be separated from her whose society had been his joy. How could he have it thus? Adam had enjoyed the companionship of God and of holy angels. He had looked upon the glory of the Creator. He understood the high destiny opened to the human race should they remain faithful to God. Yet all these blessings were lost sight of in the fear of losing that one gift which in his eyes outvalued every other. Love, gratitude, loyalty to the Creator--all were overborne by love to Eve. She was a part of himself, and he could not endure the thought of separation. He did not realize that the same Infinite Power who had from the dust of the earth created him, a living, beautiful form, and had in love given him a companion, could supply her place. He resolved to share her fate; if she must die, he would die with her. After all, he
Page 57
reasoned, might not the words of the wise serpent be true? Eve was before him, as beautiful and apparently as innocent as before this act of disobedience. She expressed greater love for him than before. No sign of death appeared in her, and he decided to brave the consequences. He seized the fruit and quickly ate.
After his transgression Adam at first imagined himself entering upon a higher state of existence. But soon the thought of his sin filled him with terror. The air, which had hitherto been of a mild and uniform temperature, seemed to chill the guilty pair. The love and peace which had been theirs was gone, and in its place they felt a sense of sin, a dread of the future, a nakedness of soul. The robe of light which had enshrouded them, now disappeared, and to supply its place they endeavored to fashion for themselves a covering; for they could not, while unclothed, meet the eye of God and holy angels.
They now began to see the true character of their sin. Adam reproached his companion for her folly in leaving his side and permitting herself to be deceived by the serpent; but they both flattered themselves that He who had given them so many evidences of His love, would pardon this one transgression, or that they would not be subjected to so dire a punishment as they had feared.
Satan exulted in his success. He had tempted the woman to distrust God's love, to doubt His wisdom, and to transgress His law, and through her he had caused the overthrow of Adam.
But the great Lawgiver was about to make known to Adam and Eve the consequences of their transgression. The divine presence was manifested in the garden. In their innocence and holiness they had joyfully welcomed the approach of their Creator; but now they fled in terror, and sought to hide in the deepest recesses of the garden. But "the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?"
Adam could neither deny nor excuse his sin; but instead of manifesting penitence, he endeavored to cast the blame upon his wife, and thus upon God Himself: "The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." He who, from love to Eve, had deliberately chosen to forfeit the
Page 58
approval of God, his home in Paradise, and an eternal life of joy, could now, after his fall, endeavor to make his companion, and even the Creator Himself, responsible for the transgression. So terrible is the power of sin.
Psalm 23:4 (New King James Version) 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Proverbs 1:33 (New King James Version) 33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil."
Haggai 2:5 (New King James Version) 5 'According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!'
1 Peter 3:14 (New King James Version) 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."
1 John 4:18-19 (New King James Version) 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.
Do Not Be Afraid
Genesis 15:1-3 (New King James Version) 1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" 3 Then Abram said, "Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!"
Deuteronomy 31:8 (New King James Version) 8 And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed."
2 Chronicles 20:17 (New King James Version) 17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you."
Luke 21:9 (New King James Version) 9 But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately."
John 14:27 (New King James Version) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Trust Against Anxiety
John 14:1-2 (New King James Version) 1 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father's house are many mansions;[a] if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Psalm 118:8-9 (New King James Version) 8 It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in princes.
Matthew 18:3 (New King James Version) 3 and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Of Birds and Lilies
Matthew 6:25-33 (New King James Version) 25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
One Day at a Time
Matthew 6:34 (New King James Version) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Philippians 4:11-12 (New King James Version) 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
John 14:27 (New King James Version) 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Mind, Character, and Personality, p. 466
It is not work that kills; it is worry. The only way to avoid worry is to take every trouble to Christ. Let us not look on the dark side. Let us cultivate cheerfulness of spirit. 2MCP 466
I greatly fear that we are in danger, by worrying, of manufacturing yokes for our necks. Let us not worry; for thus we make the yoke severe and the burden heavy. Let us do all we can without worrying, trusting in Christ. Study His words, "All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive" (Matthew 21:22). These words are the pledge that all that an omnipotent Saviour can bestow will be given to those who trust in Him. As stewards of the grace of heaven, we are to ask in faith and then wait trustingly for the salvation of God. We are not to step in before Him, trying in our own strength to bring about that which we desire. In His name we are to ask, and then we are to act as if we believed in His efficiency.-- Lt 123, 1904. 2MCP 466
John 14:18 (New King James Version) 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Mind, Character, and Personality, p. 468
If we educated our souls to have more faith, more love, greater patience, a more perfect trust in our heavenly Father, we would have more peace and happiness as we pass through the conflicts of this life. The Lord is not pleased to have us fret and worry ourselves out of the arms of Jesus. He is the only source of every grace, the fulfillment of every promise, the realization of every blessing. . . .Our pilgrimage would indeed be lonely were it not for Jesus. "I will not leave you comfortless" (John 14:18), He says to us. Let us cherish His words, believe His promises, repeat them by day and meditate upon them in the night season, and be happy.--MS 75, 1893. (HC 120.) 2MCP 468
Genesis 32:7 (New King James Version) 7 So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies.
Genesis 45:3 (New King James Version) 3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph; does my father still live?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence.
Job 3:25 (New King James Version) 25 For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.

"I don't think you have to be a Mensa member to figure out that it had an influence on decisions that were made. I was working with the developmental kids in NXT and enjoying that, and got called in for that job. It was a very unique night, to say the least. Ric Flair was coming off maybe the most traumatic time of his life. Reid Flair had recently died of a drug overdose. In hindsight, it might not have been the most timely booking, to get him in that environment. And then you can look at the other side and say maybe it's a good thing to get him out around friends. As it worked out, you'd probably lean more to the former than the latter. But here's the deal. I was conductor of a runaway train. I was supposed to keep it on the tracks and that didn't happen. So I don't have any issues taking responsibility. Did I envision that it would help facilitate my exit? No. But I could see the thinking behind it."
- Jim Ross
"My guys showed me Warrior's tweets. I was trying to be entertaining with the radio show and took things too far, like I do too often. I have no business inferring anything negative about him. I apologize. He deserves the HOF and respect for what he accomplished in the business. But let me be clear. There is no hypocrisy here. I am not preaching anything. I am sharing my recovery path to show others what is possible. So no pity, bathrooms stalls or groveling. I am doing great. I am an addict and alcoholic working every single day to repair and make the best out of the life I have left. I make mistakes, like that comment, but my recovery has been amazing. Jim does not know this Jake. Without realizing or intending to, I fired the first shot and will take Jim's response without any negativity towards him. I apologize and am putting behind me."
- Jake Roberts to Ultimate Warrior
"Well I think in Randy's case, I think Randy he was pissed. I don't think he really wanted to go in. That's just my observation from a far. I never heard that from Randy but I'm sure now that the great Randy Savage has passed on, at some point he will be put in there. But I think there was--you have to accept. You have to go there and show up. And there was some heat there. And I think it was just about to get fixed too, just like the Warrior had a lot of heat there. I think he absolutely would've gone in. Maybe this year cause Randy was just coming out--when he died, Randy was just starting to come out. About to do a comic-con and stuff; do some autograph signings and stuff. So I think you would have seen him in there. Right after; not too long after his death, I don't think it had to happen right away but I would imagine that Randy will be in there. And I believe that Jake Roberts will get in. I think I'll get in. I think there will be a lot of guys that will get in there from Kevin Nash, Scott Hall. I think a lot of those guys will get in. Sometimes it just takes time and I think that Jake doing his turn around that he's done over these last 16-17 months--or 16 months I think it is--people are buzzing everywhere about Jake. So I think at some point, it would be awesome if it was this year but who knows? You never know."
"Are you kidding me? Abso-f**king-lutely. I mean you have to look at how guys drew. And there are fans that don't like the Warrior. There are plenty of fans that don't like Diamond Dallas Page. I get that. And the people who don't like him, really don't like him. But the people who love the Warrior; they f**king love the Warrior. And that was really obvious when we did in New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia--they can be the most critical fans on the planet. Me and Jake Roberts we smoked through autographs while we were there for those couple of days, but Warrior and Hogan came in and were doing the 100 to 150 dollar autograph thing and that line went out the door all day long. So you say what you want about Warrior, but the cat is true. He brought his energy. He brought a dynamic to wrestling at that time that was original. And I wasn't a big fan of his interviews but people fricking loved them! People loved that guy. I was a Jake Roberts guy back in the '80's, so I skate more that way."
"I appreciate CM Punk so much more now than I ever have. He kneeled down over at the side, got completely out of the picture and allowed me to have that moment. It was incredible. It shows people what a true professional he is. He really raised himself up on my list of people that I respect."
"Daily questions on Rumble. Here is my official statement. I have had no contact from WWE. I publicized returning at the Royal Rumble as my goal about a year ago. Looking back, setting goals that are entirely in someone else's hands was not the best idea. My advice, and my practice now is to set goals that you can control. Do your best to control your destiny. If the Rumble happens, I will do my best to put on a memorable performance. If they want to keep me around, I know I can do some cool stuff. It if doesn't, I still have plenty to look forward to. That's all on the Rumble and WWE for a while. Please enjoy the rest of these holidays with your loved ones. Thanks again for all the support. Remember, the Snake ALWAYS bites back."
"He came to me and he says, 'I hear you know all the great strip joints,' I said, 'yes, I do, worldwide,' he says, 'I'll travel with you'. so, he tried to hang with me, and it's a chemical world, so I was cheating. After about three or four weeks, we went to TV and Vince looked at him and said, 'Mark, I don't think you need the makeup today, you look like hell. Jake is killing you and a few days later, he was in the hospital with alcohol poisoning. Finally, I had to smarten him up and tell him how I was doing it, and we then became very, very good friends. I have all the respect in the world for Mark. He has earned everything that he has gotten. He is a unique character, I love the fact that he upholds kayfabe, just a great guy, and of course he was there for the stripper times with me, and we did it well."
"I guarantee you if I get the opportunity (to own TNA), in a matter of six months I'll be pissing Vince McMahon off. My numbers will beat his, I guarantee you that."
