Directions how to behave towards the weak. (1-7) All to receive one another as brethren. (8-13) The writing and preaching of the apostle. (14-21) His purposed journeys. (22-29) He requests their prayers. (30-33)
Verses 1-7 Christian liberty was allowed, not for our pleasure, but for the glory of God, and the good of others. We must please our neighbour, for the good of his soul; not by serving his wicked will, and humouring him in a sinful way; if we thus seek to please men, we are not the servants of Christ. Christ's whole life was a self-denying, self-displeasing life. And he is the most advanced Christian, who is the most conformed to Christ. Considering his spotless purity and holiness, nothing could be more contrary to him, than to be made sin and a curse for us, and to have the reproaches of God fall upon him; the just for the unjust. He bore the guilt of sin, and the curse for it; we are only called to bear a little of the trouble of it. He bore the presumptuous sins of the wicked; we are called only to bear the failings of the weak. And should not we be humble, self-denying, and ready to consider one another, who are members one of another? The Scriptures are written for our use and benefit, as much as for those to whom they were first given. Those are most learned who are most mighty in the Scriptures. That comfort which springs from the word of God, is the surest and sweetest, and the greatest stay to hope. The Spirit as a Comforter, is the earnest of our inheritance. This like-mindedness must be according to the precept of Christ, according to his pattern and example. It is the gift of God; and a precious gift it is, for which we must earnestly seek unto him. Our Divine Master invites his disciples, and encourages them by showing himself as meek and lowly in spirit. The same disposition ought to mark the conduct of his servants, especially of the strong towards the weak. The great end in all our actions must be, that God may be glorified; nothing more forwards this, than the mutual love and kindness of those who profess religion. Those that agree in Christ may well agree among themselves.
Verses 8-13 Christ fulfilled the prophecies and promises relating to the Jews, and the Gentile converts could have no excuse for despising them. The Gentiles, being brought into the church, are companions in patience and tribulation. They should praise God. Calling upon all the nations to praise the Lord, shows that they shall have knowledge of him. We shall never seek to Christ till we trust in him. And the whole plan of redemption is suited to reconcile us to one another, as well as to our gracious God, so that an abiding hope of eternal life, through the sanctifying and comforting power of the Holy Spirit, may be attained. Our own power will never reach this; therefore where this hope is, and is abounding, the blessed Spirit must have all the glory. "All joy and peace;" all sorts of true joy and peace, so as to suppress doubts and fears, through the powerful working of the Holy Spirit.
Verses 14-21 The apostle was persuaded that the Roman Christians were filled with a kind and affectionate spirit, as well as with knowledge. He had written to remind them of their duties and their dangers, because God had appointed him the minister of Christ to the Gentiles. Paul preached to them; but what made them sacrifices to God, was, their sanctification; not his work, but the work of the Holy Ghost: unholy things can never be pleasing to the holy God. The conversion of souls pertains unto God; therefore it is the matter of Paul's glorying, not the things of the flesh. But though a great preacher, he could not make one soul obedient, further than the Spirit of God accompanied his labours. He principally sought the good of those that sat in darkness. Whatever good we do, it is Christ who does it by us.
Verses 22-29 The apostle sought the things of Christ more than his own will, and would not leave his work of planting churches to go to Rome. It concerns all to do that first which is most needful. We must not take it ill if our friends prefer work which is pleasing to God, before visits and compliments, which may please us. It is justly expected from all Christians, that they should promote every good work, especially that blessed work, the conversion of souls. Christian society is a heaven upon earth, an earnest of our gathering together unto Christ at the great day. Yet it is but partial, compared with our communion with Christ; for that only will satisfy the soul. The apostle was going to Jerusalem, as the messenger of charity. God loves a cheerful giver. Every thing that passes between Christians should be a proof and instance of the union they have in Jesus Christ. The Gentiles received the gospel of salvation from the Jews; therefore were bound to minister to them in what was needed for the body. Concerning what he expected from them he speaks doubtfully; but concerning what he expected from God he speaks confidently. We cannot expect too little from man, nor too much from God. And how delightful and advantageous it is to have the gospel with the fulness of its blessings! What wonderful and happy effects does it produce, when attended with the power of the Spirit!
Verses 30-33 Let us learn to value the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous. How careful should we be, lest we forfeit our interest in the love and prayers of God's praying people! If we have experienced the Spirit's love, let us not be wanting in this office of kindness for others. Those that would prevail in prayer, must strive in prayer. Those who beg the prayers of others, must not neglect to pray for themselves. And though Christ knows our state and wants perfectly, he will know them from us. As God must be sought, for restraining the ill-will of our enemies, so also for preserving and increasing the good-will of our friends. All our joy depends upon the will of God. Let us be earnest in prayer with and for each other, that for Christ's sake, and by the love of the Holy Spirit, great blessings may come upon the souls of Christians, and the labours of ministers.
Romans 15:1-13 . SAME SUBJECT CONTINUED AND CONCLUDED.
1. We then that are strong--on such points as have been discussed, the abolition of the Jewish distinction of meats and days under the Gospel.
ought . . . not to please ourselves--ought to think less of what we may lawfully do than of how our conduct will affect others.
2, 3. Let every one of us--lay himself out to
please his neighbour--not indeed for his mere gratification, but
for his good--with a view
to his edification.
3. For even Christ pleased not--lived not to please
himself; but, as it is written--( Psalms 69:9 ).
The reproaches, &c.--see Mark 10:42-45 .
4. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning--"instruction"
through, &c.--"through the comfort and the patience of the Scriptures"
might have hope--that is, "Think not that because such portions of Scripture relate immediately to Christ, they are inapplicable to you; for though Christ's sufferings, as a Saviour, were exclusively His own, the motives that prompted them, the spirit in which they were endured, and the general principle involved in His whole work--self-sacrifice for the good of others--furnish our most perfect and beautiful model; and so all Scripture relating to these is for our instruction; and since the duty of forbearance, the strong with the weak, requires 'patience,' and this again needs 'comfort,' all those Scriptures which tell of patience and consolation, particularly of the patience of Christ, and of the consolation which sustained Him under it, are our appointed and appropriate nutriment, ministering to us 'hope' of that blessed day when these shall no more be needed." (For the same connection between "patience and hope" 1 Thessalonians 1:3 ).
5, 6. Now the God of patience and consolation--Such beautiful names of God are taken from the graces which He inspires: as "the God of hope" ( Romans 15:13 ), "the God of peace" ( Romans 15:33 ).
grant you to be likeminded--"of the same mind"
according to Christ Jesus--It is not mere unanimity which the apostle seeks for them; for unanimity in evil is to be deprecated. But it is "according to Christ Jesus"--after the sublimest model of Him whose all-absorbing desire was to do, "not His own will, but the will of Him that sent Him" ( John 6:38 ).
6. That, &c.--rather, "that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ"; the mind and the mouth of all giving harmonious glory to His name. What a prayer! And shall this never be realized on earth?
7. Wherefore--returning to the point
receive ye one another . . . to the glory of God--If Christ received us, and bears with all our weaknesses, well may we receive and compassionate one with another, and by so doing God will be glorified.
8-12. Now--"For" is the true reading: the apostle is merely assigning an additional motive to Christian forbearance.
I say that Jesus Christ was--"hath become"
a minister of the circumcision--a remarkable expression, meaning "the Father's Servant for the salvation of the circumcision (or, of Israel)."
for the truth of God--to make good the veracity of God towards His ancient people.
to confirm the--Messianic
promises made unto the fathers--To cheer the Jewish believers, whom he might seem to have been disparaging, and to keep down Gentile pride, the apostle holds up Israel's salvation as the primary end of Christ's mission. But next after this, Christ was sent.
9. that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy--A number of quotations from the Old Testament here follow, to show that God's plan of mercy embraced, from the first, the Gentiles along with the Jews.
as it is written--( Psalms 18:49 ).
I will confess to--that is, glorify
thee among the Gentiles.
10. And again--( Deuteronomy 32:43 , though there is some difficulty in the Hebrew).
Rejoice, ye Gentiles--along
with his people--Israel.
11. And again--( Psalms 117:1 ).
Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people--"peoples"--the various nations outside the pale of Judaism.
12. And again, Esaias saith--( Isaiah 11:10 ).
There shall be a--"the"
root of Jesse--meaning, not "He from whom Jesse sprang," but "He that is sprung from Jesse" (that is, Jesse's son David))see Revelation 22:16 .
and he that shall rise, &c.--So the Septuagint in substantial, though not verbal, agreement with the original.
13. Now, &c.--This seems a concluding prayer, suggested by the whole preceding subject matter of the epistle.
the God of
fill you with all joy and peace in believing--the native truth of that faith which is the great theme of this epistle (compare Galatians 5:22 ).
that ye may abound in hope--"of the glory of God."
through the power of the Holy Ghost--to whom, in the economy of redemption, it belongs to inspire believers with all gracious affections.
On the foregoing portion, Note, (1) No Christian is at liberty to regard himself as an isolated disciple of the Lord Jesus, having to decide questions of duty and liberty solely with reference to himself. As Christians are one body in Christ, so the great law of love binds them to act in all things with tenderness and consideration for their brethren in "the common salvation" ( Romans 15:1 Romans 15:2 ). (2) Of this unselfishness CHRIST is the perfect model of all Christians ( Romans 15:3 ). (3) Holy Scripture is the divine storehouse of all furniture for the Christian life, even in its most trying and delicate features ( Romans 15:4 ). (4) The harmonious glorification of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ by the whole body of the redeemed, as it is the most exalted fruit of the scheme of redemption, so it is the last end of God in it ( Romans 15:5-7 ).
Romans 15:14-33 . CONCLUSION: IN WHICH THE APOSTLE APOLOGIZES FOR THUS WRITING TO THE ROMAN CHRISTIANS, EXPLAINS WHY HE HAD NOT YET VISITED THEM, ANNOUNCES HIS FUTURE PLANS, AND ASKS THEIR PRAYERS FOR THE COMPLETION OF THEM.
14, 15. And, &c.--rather, "Now I am persuaded, my brethren, even I myself, concerning you"
that ye also yourselves are full of goodness--of inclination to all I have been enjoining on you
filled with all knowledge--of the truth expounded
and able--without my intervention.
to admonish one another.
15. Nevertheless, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort--"measure"
as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God--as an apostle of Jesus Christ.
16. that I should be the--rather, "a"
minister--The word here used is commonly employed to express the office of the priesthood, from which accordingly the figurative language of the rest of the verse is taken.
of Jesus Christ--"Christ Jesus," according to the true reading.
to the Gentiles--a further proof that the Epistle was addressed to a Gentile church.
ministering the gospel of God--As the word here is a still more priestly one, it should be rendered, "ministering as a priest in the Gospel of God."
that the offering up of the Gentiles--as an oblation to God, in their converted character.
might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost--the end to which the ancient offerings typically looked.
17. I have therefore whereof I may glory--or (adding the article, as the reading seems to be), "I have my glorying."
Christ Jesus in those things which pertain to God--the things of the ministry committed to me of God.
18-22. For I will not dare to speak of any--"to speak aught"
of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me--a modest, though somewhat obscure form of expression, meaning, "I will not dare to go beyond what Christ hath wrought by me"--in which form accordingly the rest of the passage is expressed. Observe here how Paul ascribes all the success of his labors to the activity of the living Redeemer, working in and by him.
by word and deed--by preaching and working; which latter he explains in the next clause.
19. Through mighty--literally, "in the power of"
signs and wonders--that is, glorious miracles.
by the power of the Spirit of God--"the Holy Ghost," as the true reading seems to be. This seems intended to explain the efficacy of the word preached, as well as the working of the miracles which attested it.
so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto--"as far as"
Illyricum--to the extreme northwestern boundary of Greece. It corresponds to the modern Croatia and Dalmatia ( 2 Timothy 4:10 ). See Acts 20:1 Acts 20:2 .
I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20, 21. Yea, &c.--rather, "Yet making it my study (compare 2 Corinthians 5:9 , 1 Thessalonians 4:11 , Greek) so to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was [already] named, that I might not build upon another man's foundation: but (might act) as it is written, To whom no tidings of Him came, they shall see," &c.
22. For which cause--"Being so long occupied with this missionary work, I have been much (or, 'for the most part') hindered," &c.
23, 24. But now having no more place--"no longer having place"--that is, unbroken ground, where Christ has not been preached.
and having a great desire--"a longing"
these many years to come unto you--(as before,
24. whensoever I take my journey into Spain--Whether this purpose was ever accomplished has been much disputed, as no record of it nor allusion to it anywhere occurs. Those who think our apostle was never at large after his first imprisonment at Rome will of course hold that it never was; while those who are persuaded, as we are, that he underwent a second imprisonment, prior to which he was at large for a considerable time after his first, incline naturally to the other opinion.
I will come to you--If these words were not originally in the text, and there is weighty evidence against them, they must at least be inserted as a necessary supplement.
in my journey, &c.--"as I pass through by you, to be set forward on my journey thither, if first I be somewhat filled with your company": that is, "I should indeed like to stay longer with you than I can hope to do, but I must, to some extent at least, have my fill of your company."
25-27. But now I go to Jerusalem to minister--"ministering"
to the saints--in the sense immediately to be explained.
26. For, &c.--better, "For Macedonia and Achaia have thought good to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints which are at Jerusalem." (See Acts 24:17 ). "They have thought it good; and their debtors verily they are"; that is, "And well they may, considering what the Gentile believers owe to their Jewish brethren."
27. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also--"they owe it also"
to minister unto them in carnal things--(Compare 1 Corinthians 9:11 , Galatians 6:6 ; and see Luke 7:4 , Acts 10:2 ).
28, 29. When therefore I have . . . sealed--that is, delivered over safely
to them this fruit--of the faith and love of the Gentile converts
I will come--"come back," or "return"
by you into
29. And I am sure--"I know"
that . . . I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ--Such, beyond all doubts, is the true reading, the words "of the gospel" being in hardly any manuscripts of antiquity and authority. Nor was the apostle mistaken in this confidence, though his visit to Rome was in very different circumstances from what he expected. See Acts 28:16-31 .
30. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit--or, "by the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit"--not the love which the Spirit bears to us, but that love which He kindles in the hearts of believers towards each other; that is "By that Saviour whose name is alike dear to all of us and whose unsearchable riches I live only to proclaim, and by that love one to another which the blessed Spirit diffuses through all the brotherhood, making the labors of Christ's servants a matter of common interest to all--I beseech you."
that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me--implying that he had his grounds for anxious fear in this matter.
31. That I may be delivered from them that do not believe--"that do not obey," that is, the truth, by believing it; as in Romans 2:8 .
in Judea--He saw the storm that was gathering over him in Judea, which, if at all, would certainly burst upon his head when he reached the capital; and the event too clearly showed the correctness of these apprehensions.
and that my service which I have for
may be accepted of--"prove acceptable to"
the saints--Nor was he without apprehension lest the opposition he had made to the narrow jealousy of the Jewish converts against the free reception of their Gentile brethren, should make this gift of theirs to the poor saints at Jerusalem less welcome than it ought to be. He would have the Romans therefore to join him in wrestling with God that this gift might be gratefully received, and prove a cement between the two parties. But further.
32. That I may come unto you with--"in"
joy by the will of God--( Acts 18:21 , 1 Corinthians 4:19 , 16:7 , Hebrews 6:3 , 4:15 )
and may with you be refreshed--rather, "with you refresh myself," after all his labors and anxieties, and so be refitted for future service.
33. Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen--The peace here sought is to be taken in its widest sense: the peace of reconciliation to God, first, "through the blood of the everlasting covenant" ( Hebrews 13:20 , 1 Thessalonians 5:23 , 2 Thessalonians 3:16 , Philippians 4:9 ); then the peace which that reconciliation diffuses among all the partakers of it ( 1 Corinthians 14:33 , 2 Corinthians 13:11 ; and more widely still, that peace which the children of God, in beautiful imitation of their Father in Heaven, are called and privileged to diffuse far and wide through this sin-distracted and divided world ( Romans 12:18 , Matthew 5:9 , Hebrews 12:14 , 3:18 ).
Note, (1) Did "the chiefest of the apostles" apologize for writing to a Christian church which he had never seen, and a church that he was persuaded was above the need of it, save to "stir up their pure minds by way of remembrance" ( 2 Peter 1:13 , 3:1 ); and did he put even this upon the sole plea of apostolic responsibility ( Romans 15:14-16 )? What a contrast is thus presented to hierarchical pride, and in particular to the affected humility of the bishop of this very Rome! How close the bond which the one spirit draws between ministers and people--how wide the separation produced by the other! (2) There is in the Christian Church no real priesthood, and none but figurative sacrifices. Had it been otherwise, it is inconceivable that Romans 15:16 should have been expressed as it is. Paul's only priesthood and sacrificial offerings lay, first, in ministering to them as "the apostle of the Gentiles," not the sacrament with the "real presence" of Christ in it, or the sacrifice of the mass, but "the Gospel of God," and then, when gathered under the wing of Christ, presenting them to God as a grateful offering, "being sanctified [not by sacrificial gifts, but] by the Holy Ghost." (See Hebrews 13:9-16 ). (3) Though the debt we owe to those by whom we have been brought to Christ can never be discharged, we should feel it a privilege when we render them any lower benefit in return ( Romans 15:26 Romans 15:27 ). (4) Formidable designs against the truth and the servants of Christ should, above all other ways of counteracting them, be met by combined prayer to Him who rules all hearts and controls all events; and the darker the cloud, the more resolutely should all to whom Christ's cause is dear "strive together in their prayers to God" for the removal of it ( Romans 15:30 Romans 15:31 ). (5) Christian fellowship is so precious that the most eminent servants of Christ, amid the toils and trials of their work, find it refreshing and invigorating; and it is no good sign of any ecclesiastic, that he deems it beneath him to seek and enjoy it even amongst the humblest saints in the Church of Christ ( Romans 15:24 Romans 15:32 ).

I love your idea behind your latest kit. but I am clueless on how to use it. I know I could "download" it but I don't know what to do after that. I can't find where the zip files go in my computer. I would love to use it for my blog during Oct. Even thought the cancer that is effecting my life right now is Colon cancer. My Husband has been battling it for two years now.
Hope you can give me an insight on how a novice can pretty up her blog site. My friend , Meg uses your stuff all the time and says it's easy. ?????

Thank you for this kit!! :)
This is a beautiful kit! I tried to download it however 4shared keeps timing out so I am unable to snag it. Not sure what is going on - have tried last 2 days to download it. It is a wonderful kit - my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago and currently is cancer free (yay)!
My sister just did a walk for breast cancer yesterday - not the big walk, but she did 6 miles sponsored by her job. She asked me to scrap her pictures for her birthday. This will be soooo perfect! thank you!!!
thank you so much for the BCA kit..it is awesome
Thank you for sharing this kit, I lost my sister to cancer and my daughter has recently lost her best friend we have both been affected deeply and i will make her a card from this fabulous kit i know she will appreciate it.
Big hugs Val xxx
Hi Summer, thanks so much for the wonderful Awareness kit which I've downloaded. Just so that you know, I've used some of the papers to make cards which will go to a Breast Cancer awareness group and will then be sent out to women who are suffering with this awful disease. Thanks again for your generosity. I hope your little one is doing ok. Hugs, Chris
Amazing!!! Your work is stunning!! You've got some serious talent - thanks for sharing it so generously! I used one these papers on a card yesterday - you can see it on my blog if interested.
hugs, Jami
Your awareness kit is the most beautiful breast cancer set I have seen. My grandmother died 4 1/2 years ago from the disease and I have not been able to find any scrap product that I felt could be used on the pages I will make as a tribute to her. It may be I could not do it emotionally either. Regardless, your breathtaking art has inspired me to finally touch those pictures. Your designs are so much what my grandmother would love.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and the tears on my cheeks.)
Beautiful kit, thank you so much for sharing!
I just found your blog today - I really love your designs. Thank you for being so very generous!
Yeah - I just happened to surf to your site when looking through digi scrap forums in search of a kit that would work for my Relay for Life team to use on some of our team campsite signs & luminaries. So happy the link still works. Thanks so much for sharing your work!
THANK YOU!! WOW! I love it so much! I'm 14 and already i have friends and family that have been affected by cancer...you're amazing i love ALL your kits!

Our strategy
Improve community infrastructure, health, resiliency and economic opportunities in Indonesia's most challenging urban and coastal areas.
The context
About half of all Indonesians live on less than two dollars a day. Employment growth has been slower than population growth. Public services remain inadequate by middle-income standards, and health indicators are poor. The island is also one of the most disaster-prone nations in the world.
Our work
- Economic opportunity: Providing technical assistance, training and financial services to microfinance institutions throughout the country and helping spice farmers earn more income
- Health: Raising awareness and supporting mothers to practice and promote exclusive breastfeeding
- Water: Improving sanitation and hygiene in crowded urban areas with a mobile sludge removal service
- Disaster preparedness: Identifying and mapping areas at risk and helping those communities plan, train and practice how to respond when disasters occur
- Emergency response: Maintaining a response team ready to quickly deploy and provide immediate relief to survivors during the critical first months after a disaster strikes
All stories about Indonesia
Indonesia: Unbreakable November 10, 2010
Indonesia: On the ground in tsunami-stricken Mentawai November 9, 2010
It had already been a week since our Director, Erynn Carter, asked me to prepare myself to conduct the Joint Need Assesment for our emergency earthquake and tsunami response in the Mentawai Islands Yet, the tropical cyclone that has been hampering the coasts of West Sumatra and the Mentawai Islan
Indonesia: You can never predict the weather November 4, 2010
Yesterday, I resolved to write only good news in my next blog post. You see, I'm the kind of person who'd like to believe that there's always a slight of hope even in the worst disaster. Naïve. Because right now, I don't really have any good news to write home about.
Indonesia: The latest from our emergency response in Mentawai Islands November 1, 2010
Indonesia: November for the better October 31, 2010
October was a busy month for Mercy Corps and for the people of West Sumatra.
Indonesia: By boat to the tsunami-stricken Mentawai Islands October 30, 2010
A sign of land, finally. I've been on the boat since I'm not quite sure when; I've lost track of days. I just remember that last Wednesday morning, Sean — our country director — ordered me to go to the tsunami-affected Mentawai Islands in West Sumatera...by boat.
Indonesia: Helping ease the shock of disasters October 29, 2010
Again it has been a shocking day for me. I was monitoring the updates from the recent disasters of emergency responses and related news.
Indonesia: 199,000 tons of TNT October 28, 2010
Indonesia: Responding to Indonesia's latest tsunami October 27, 2010
Today was a busy day spent doing logistics for our emergency response to the tsunami that just hit Indonesia's Mentawai Islands. Almost 300 people have died, more than 400 are missing and estimates are that at least 4,000 people are displaced.
Indonesia: The reality of living on Indonesia's ring of fire October 26, 2010
Today has been a sad day for me. I found out from the news that my old playing and hiking place — Mount Merapi in Jogjakarta, Indonesia — is completely devastated by wedus gembel (burning clouds) and volcanic ashes.

Hundreds Thronged Rice University for 4th Annual ICNA-MAS South Region Conference
Fourth of July saw a Major Islamic Conference coming to Rice University Houston: This was the 4th Annual ICNA-MAS South Central Region Conference. Several hundred families came from Texas, Louisiana and elsewhere to attend this one day event, whose theme was: "Serve Humanity for the Love of Divinity". "Not only the theme was unique, but after attending various lectures and segments, I am convinced that all the speeches at the Conference had distinctive message and it was conveyed by all the speakers in a unique manner, which I have never felt at other Islamic Conferences. One needs to get the DVDs and CDs of this Conference for future reference and study," said one of the regular attendee of the many Islamic Conferences in the Greater Houston Region.
Renowned scholars like Sheikh Nouman Ali Khan; Sheikh Abdool Rahman Khan; Imam Omar Suleiman; Imam Khalid Griggs; Imam Yousuf Estes; Dr. Zahid Bukhari; Dr. Muhammad Yunus; Dr. Mazhar Kazi; Sheikh Nisar-ul-Haq; Hafiz Tauqeer Shah; Sheikh Wazir Ali; Samid AL-Khatib; Reverand Kimberley; and many more, mesmerized the audiences with excellent presentations that had practical solutions to various issues facing communities nationwide in USA, as far as volunteering and assisting humanity is concerned.
"Window to Islam" Morning Session brought some Non-Muslims with Muslims and the Chapel besides Rice Memorial Ley Student Center was packed with people of all ages, as they understood the basics of Islam and learnt from Imam Yousuf Estes as to why he became Muslim. Other topics included "Islam: Not just a Middle Eastern Religion"; "The History of Relationship between Muslims and Non-Muslims" and "Interfaith Panel Q-&-A".
Special "Young Muslims Conference" in the afternoon drew many youth in the community to learn their very crucial role in the society, like "Lead Your Friends to Humanity for Your Lord"; "Islam: A Religion That Came on the Shoulders of Youth"; "Muslim Youth: Serving Humanity"; "Muslim Youth is Ready to Face Challenges"; and much more.
The main topics discussed in the Central Programs included "The Islamic Solutions to Contemporary Social Problems, like the Declining Family System"; "Dawah and Relief Go Hand in Hand"; and "Deliverance Through Service".
Sumptuous food was served by Lazzezza Restaurant. For more information and getting Conference material, one can call Omer Syed, Secretary of ICNA Houston at 713-253-4599.

I blend the bronzer around the hairline, under the chin, in the hollow of my cheeks, and along my neck for dimensional color.

They're great for getting into those hard-to-reach areas to help you achieve a flawless, smooth finish without too much effort. The sponge application technique works best with liquid and cream foundations. Dampen the sponge ever so slightly with a little water and apply foundation to key feature areas and quickly blend out towards the edges of the face. The sponge also erases any foundation that may settle into any lines."

White Looks Right
Inspired by the snowy palette of the Delano Hotel, Rita Noroña Schragers Southampton home revels in a cool, airy vibe
By David Colman
Outfitting virtually an entire home in shades of white requires serious skill, so its a good thing Rita Noroña Schrager, a former New York City Ballet dancer, knows a thing or two about making the complicated look carefree. Hiring Miami-based interior designer Hernán Arriaga to help her execute her vision didnt hurt either. The two met years ago when Arriaga was working in Manhattan and instantly bonded, partly due to their shared Latin rootsNoroña Schrager hails from Cuba, and Arriaga is from Argentina.
Noroña Schrager had already secured the perfect place in the rolling horse-farm hills north of Southampton, New York: a stately four-bedroom Colonial she discovered her very first day house-hunting. Ample but not overwhelming, with a winsome guest cottage and spectacular swimming pool, it seemed an ideal getaway spot for her and her two daughters, Sophia, 15, and Ava, 11especially since it was only a short drive from the weekend home of their father, hotelier Ian Schrager. I appreciated that it didnt look like every shingled building out here, she says. And I love the landscapeit looks more like Connecticut than the Hamptons. Its impressive pedigree was another advantage. It had already been revamped by its previous owner, Greg Yale, a noted lighting designer, so the bathrooms and kitchen were 21st-century beautiful, and the architecture had been simplified for an easy flow throughout.

Northwest Indiana faithful pleased with choice of cardinals
By Carole Carlson firstname.lastname@example.com | 648-3154 March 13, 2013 6:09PM
Quotes from Pope Francis
"We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick. It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one."
"In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don't baptise the children of single mothers because they weren't conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today's hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation. And this poor girl who, rather than returning the child to sender, had the courage to carry it into the world, must wander from parish to parish so that it's baptized!"
"An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock; it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth … Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them."
"Let's not be naive: this isn't a simple political fight, it's an attempt to destroy God's plan." (On an Argentinian government gay marriage bill)

Catholics across Northwest Indiana rejoiced Wednesday at the naming of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, of Argentina, as the new pontiff.
The new 76-year-old pope, who took the name Francis I, was elected on the fifth ballot by the conclave of 115 cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel inside the Vatican. He's the 266th pontiff in the church's 2,000-year history and the first non-European leader in 1,000 years.
"We're asking all the parishes to pray for the new pope and to celebrate a Mass asking God's blessings upon him," said Bishop Dale Melczek, leader of the Diocese of Gary.
Melczek and other diocesan employees watched the scene at St. Peter's Square on a small television at their Merrillville office.
"I am overjoyed that the cardinals selected a man known for his deep prayer, his past sensitivity, great intellect and his personal modesty and humility," Melczek said.
Melczek said he hasn't met Francis, who replaces Benedict, the first priest in 600 years to abdicate.
"He wasn't on the radar screen of the media, but I understand he was second on all the ballots at the last conclave so he was on the radar screen of the cardinals."
Melczek said the new pope, a Jesuit priest originally trained as a chemist, has a fresh world vision and the ability to communicate the Gospel to cultures across the world.
While recent polls showed American Catholics preferred a younger, reform-minded pope, Melczek said Pope Francis would remain true to the values of the Gospel.
"He's not going to compromise at all to please the whims of the public. That's not what we as a church are called to do. I'm sure he'll be a spoken defender of right to life from womb to tomb."
Rev. Stephen Gibson of St. Mary Catholic Church flew to Rome Tuesday night to watch the historic moment unfold.
Gibson's church in East Chicago serves a large group of Hispanics in the area, and he wrote that the selection of a pope from South America "is a profound blessing for the Spnaish-speaking." It also helps bring one of the Catholic Church's largest areas of evangelization to the rest of the world, he said.
"Just as God asked St. Francis to rebuild his church, so we have a new pope with the same vision for a new age in the history of salvation," he said.
The son of Italian immigrant parents who was raised in Buenos Aires, Francis formerly led the church's Jesuit order.
Melczek said Francis lived humbly in an apartment in Buenos Aires, cooked his own meals, and took the bus to work.
He said the new pope took his name from St. Francis of Assisi, a legendary Italian friar known for his humility and simplicity.
Maryann Stewart, a volunteer at the Shrine of Christ's Passion in St. John, said Bergoglio's election was a wonderful surprise.
"There are more Catholics in South America, and he's an intellectual," Stewart said. "Hopefully, he'll bring some new, fresh ideas to the Catholic Church, particularly allowing women to serve as priests and letting priests marry."
Stewart had favored Boston Archbishop Sean O'Malley, who took the helm of the troubled archdiocese in the wake of the sex abuse crisis, but she said the church was unlikely to elect an American pope.
Volunteer Betty Jackowski was pleased the process went fairly quickly, taking less than 24 hours since the cardinals entered the conclave.
"I didn't really have a favorite," she said.
Staff writers Christin Nance Lazerus and Teresa Auch Schultz contributed to this report.

In recent years the Asia-Pacific region, along with the rest of the world, has been assailed by a series of global crises, first the energy and food crises, and more recently the financial and economic crisis – all of which have presented threats to development and to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This report assesses the likely impact. First it tracks progress towards the Goals on the basis of data collected prior to the economic crisis on 21 out of the 60 official MDG indicators. Then it considers how this progress might be hindered by recent events.
In September 1970, Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman ignited a serious controversy with his New York Times article "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits." His main argument is summarised as follows: "there is one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game …" While one might agree with him that a primary purpose of business is about making a profit without violation of laws and regulations, this argument is unlikely to remai
Family structure, functions and values are experiencing unprecedented changes in Asia and the Pacific. However, there is often an absence of a family perspective in social policymaking in general and in social protection policymaking in particular.
This publication from 2009, titled Pacific Perspectives, looks at crises and perspectives in the Pacific region.
This e-book brings together chapters that explore various aspects of trade and financial integration in Asia and the Pacific, the reasons for the lack of it, and potential benefits of strengthening such integration. The book focuses on the exploration of challenges and opportunities that exist in intraregional trade in goods, integration in services trade, availability of trade finance as well as inflows of portfolio investments.
Policymakers in the region are more aware than ever of the economic, social, health and environmental benefits of adequate sanitation. Various efforts have been made to raise the political profile of sanitation, through a United Nations General Assembly resolution (No. 61/192) that declared 2008the International Year of Sanitation, regional high-level sanitation conferences (SACOSAN and EASAN) and close monitoring of the related Millennium Development Goal targets.
Asia-Pacific Population Journal Volume 23 was released in 2008.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
Over the past few years, energy security and sustainable development have moved up the global agenda. There are two main reasons for this: first, the impact of high and often volatile energy prices; second, concerns over environmental sustainability and particularly about the global climate. Both issues are critically important for Asia and the Pacific—a region in which impressive economic growth has boosted the demand for energy and put corresponding strains on the environment.
After the fastest growth in a decade in 2007, the developing economies of the Asia-Pacific region are expected to grow at a slightly slower but still robust 7.7% in 2008. The region's developed economies are expected to grow at 1.6% in 2008, slipping from 2% in 2007. China and India, the region's economic locomotives, are expected to continue growing briskly in 2008, boosting the rest of the region. Commodity- and energy-exporting countries, particularly the Russian Federation, are expected to add to the momentum.

The former police chief of Rosedale and Drew said he's ready to bring his passion for law enforcement to a new Delta town.
He took over Shaw's leading role on April 5.
"I have the skills, resources and drive for professionalizing this department," said Gibson. "When I go into a department I make sure to use my experience and invest it into my officers and staff so they can investigate a lot of things just as well as a chief."
Gibson said his main goal was to police the population of Shaw and bring stability to its citizens by enforcing laws and going hard after criminals.
He said he would also update the department's technology related to its booking system and citizen report system.
"There is a dire need for equipment to help process crime scenes."
Gibson hopes to use his background in grant writing to help inherit more equipment and keep the police ahead of the game.
Working with all federal state and local law enforcement agencies will also be a focus.
He's been involved with law enforcement since 1994 and graduated from Delta State University in 2005 with a criminal justice degree. He also studied grant writing at Jackson State University.
Gibson's training and certification programs have brought him to Mexico, Ireland and across the United States.
"We are here to provide the services that are needed in a small community," he added. "It will be a professional service at that.
"We will protect the people, property and even livestock."
Gibson added that he has an open door policy and he encourages citizens to call him directly with concerns about town safety.
He can be reached at 662-719-8372.

Regardless of political affiliation, this summary explains the federal government's budget and predicament.
The fiscal cliff put in a much better perspective:
Lesson No. 1
• U.S. tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
• Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000
• New debt: $1,650,000,000,000
• National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
• Recent budget cuts: $38,500,000,000
Let us now remove eight zeros and pretend it is a household budget:
• Annual family income: $21,700
• Money the family spent: $38,200
• New debt on the credit card: $16,500
• Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
• Total budget cuts so far: $38.50
Got it? OK, now consider this.
Lesson No. 2
Another way to look at the debt ceiling:
Say you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood. Now your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings. What do you think you should do? Raise the ceilings, or remove the sewage? Author: Unknown

On Saturday, residents left over 10,000 pounds of food for their letter carriers to pick up along with the daily mail.
The Stamp Out Hunger food drive is in its sixth year for the area and expectations are that donations will be five times greater than last year.
"We still have three offices out — Shaw, Boyle and Ruleville," said letter carrier Sherrie Crain. "So far we've collected 10,400 pounds of food. Last year were picked up 2,300 pounds."
Crain said all the food items would go to Helping Hands, an agency of the United Way of Cleveland-Bolivar County.
Helping Hands Director Ollie Hoop said she wasn't expecting as much food as was delivered to her office.
"This was a surprise. We're starting to separate everything by year. We'll box it up and stack it and give out food starting with 2013 first," said Hoop, who added she's running out of shelves and needs more.
Crain and Hoop both said they are overwhelmed by the generosity of Bolivar Countians and those nearby.
"The Merigold mail truck by itself brought in 1,000 pounds of food," said Crain. "Duke Bush said last year he brought in 19 bags of food from his entire route. This year he had 19 bags from one street."
Crain said she believes the paper sacks delivered to residents for the donations really aided in the increase.
"The AARP donated the bags. They paid for the bags to be delivered to the post office and then they paid the postage for the bags to be delivered to residents. I think the bags made the difference," she said.
Crain added that Hoop said she would reuse the bags as people came in to get food.
Crain said Brown and Sons left the outside scale on for her so she could weigh the food.
"I drove my truck and the trailer of there and weighed it first and then weighed in loaded with food and subtracted," she said. "I had five trailer loads with the back and seats of my truck full."
Crain explained the letter carriers always do the Stamp Out Hunger food drive the second week of May to help those in need get through the summer months.
"So many people help out during the holidays, that's why we do it now to help until then.
"I want to thank the people of Bolivar County and Cleveland," said Crain with obvious emotion and excitement in her voice.
"This is what happens when people work together," said Hoop. "I wish everyone could do that. Thank you."
This is the 21st year for the nationwide Stamp Out Hunger food drive.
National Association of Letter Carriers partners with the U.S. Post Office, Campbell's Soup and others to provide assistance to the millions of Americans struggling to put food on the table.
In 2012, letter carriers collected food donations from 10,000 communities. Last year's drive also marked the ninth consecutive year that people donated more than 70 million pounds of food to the Stamp Out Hunger food drive.
But, with more than 50 million people, including nearly 17 million children, facing
hunger in America – the fight for hunger-relief continues.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

23 January – 19 April 2015
In 2015, the Collection of Prints and Drawings of the Kunsthaus Zürich celebrates its 100th birthday. The first 'Inventory of the hand drawings and prints collection' was drawn up in 1915. At the last count the Prints and Drawings Collection of the Kunsthaus Zürich had grown into an institution of considerable proportions, with well over 90,000 works on paper. The 37,000 drawings include masterpieces by Raphael and Dürer, Fuseli, Turner, Hodler, Cézanne, Picasso and Giacometti. Acquisitions in the fields of drawing, prints, photography, film, video, multiples and installation by artists including Jorinde Voigt, Urs Fischer, Aleksandra Mir, Erik van Lieshout and others bring the overview right up to date.
Working with a team of scholars, its long-serving curator has selected the master drawings from six centuries. A representative publication, featuring full-page colour illustrations of each drawing together with a commentary, is a highlight in a long series of collection catalogues from the Kunsthaus.

How We Decide If You Are Still Disabled
Authored By: Social Security Administration
Usually, you are reading this leaflet because you received a letter telling you we're going to review your disability. The Social Security law requires that we review all disability cases from time to time to make sure people continue to be disabled. If your health has not improved, or if your disability still keeps you from working, you will continue to receive your benefits.

Interested in trying out some of the local summer series races? Or maybe some of our great New England endurance race options next year?
If so you should consider doing so as part of Team NEMBA. At its core grassroots bike racing in New England is just a bunch of like-minded people sharing in a little bit of suffering on some of the best trails our area has to offer. Racing is a great way to improve your fitness and riding skills and have a blast while doing it.
NEMBA Racing's goals are not centered around results, we are more concerned with having fun and supporting each other while we try and reach our personal season goals, whatever they may be. Our primary focus is to bring NEMBA's values to the race community and raise awareness for trail advocacy.
Our team consists of racers of all ages and abilities, Junior to Master and Novice to Expert. You will have teammates to race with and teammates to learn from. Someone to pass you a bottle as you come through for your next lap, and shout cheers of encouragement. And most importantly family members that bring post race cookies and watermelon.
We do our clothing order in Jan/Feb. Racers are asked to purchase one of our race jerseys and if you race 5 times in NEMBA colors and participate in one trail day NEMBA will reimburse you for the cost of the jersey. (Full kits are also available if desired: bibs, arm/leg warmers, etc. but only the jerseys will be reimbursed)
So if you are interested in representing NEMBA next season fill out this form before the new year. We will be putting the team together officially shortly after the holiday season and getting our clothing order together. Don't miss out...fly NEMBA green next year!

Colombia: think nature
When you think of Colombia, what comes to mind? Hot-weather, Shakira, coffee, the infamous Escobar… Obviously when talking about a country that's more than 5 times the size of Britain, there's bound to be a lot of other stuff. And sure enough, there is, and for me one of the most striking things about Colombia is its nature.

Signal Change In Binghamton
06.15.14 |
News on the radio front: Family Life is now broadcasting at 102.9 FM within the city of Binghamton. The change happened on May 28, when Family Life switched our radio signal from it's former position at 98.7 FM.
There has been no change in radio programming, simply a change on the dial for Binghamton listeners. All your favorite Christian music, Biblical teaching, daily news, and radio drama is exactly the same. We are and always will be very grateful to serve the Binghamton area with programming that encourages the heart and strengthens the family with the Gospel!
(As usual, Family Life will continue to broadcast on 88.5 FM and 88.9 FM in parts of Broome, Tioga, Delaware, and Chenango counties. Those signals have not changed.)

Yesterday I read an article on MSNBC about a sex shop in Bahrain. It was really fascinating to read about how this little shop is thriving in the Middle East. According to the store's owner, sex toys are permitted in Islamic law between married couples as long as they don't replicate "sensitive parts of the body" (I'm going to go ahead and assume she means genitals) but things like vibrating rings are ok. She says she hasn't really had any trouble from the people and the government (a few things get tangled in customs), and it's certainly refreshing to hear about sexuality and pleasure discussed openly, in any country.
Of course, we love our Shafts and Fleshlights like crazy here at The Pleasure Chest, but there are a lot of great toys that are more… discreet.
The newest of which are Tenga products from Japan, which look like bottles of lotion or shampoo but house a remarkably realistic and sensual-feeling masturbation sleeve, pre-lubed and ready to go. Sticking my finger in one of those things is right up there with waiting in line at Coachella on my "Times I Wish I Had a Penis" list.
Then there's the new Better Than Chocolate vibrator by Nomi Tang. This luxury vibe feels smooth and silky in the hand, with an ergonomic shape (in your face, carpal tunnel!) and easy-to-use touch-sensitive controls. That's right, the speeds go up and down and even lock with a swipe of your finger. It's an iPad for your clit! Love.
Also, while I fully advocate sex toys for non-coupled (and non-married) people, it should be noted that both of these toys can be fun for two as well. Give your hand-jobs a hand with the Tenga sleeves, or nestle Better Than Chocolate between two bodies for simultaneous sensations. Fun for everyone!
