Theologically, we know that the church is called to leave what's comfortable and propel itself out into the darkness as light, living the counter-culture life of the kingdom of God.
But here's a question all leaders need to consider: How can a church accomplish that mission unless the families of the church are living with that same mindset? Every church would be "missional" if the parents understood their role in discipling their children.
Generally, we understand the word discipleship to mean teaching the truths of Scripture, the doctrine and theology of God, and establishing the moral codes of the faith. All this is good, but only if we understand the fuller meaning of Jesus' idea of what a disciple is.
When He used the word, He actually meant what we might call an apprentice. Western—non-participatory—discipleship is satisfied when a person knows concepts about God, but apprenticeship isn't satisfied until the person has learned to live the life of God. This is a simple but profound switch in thinking for several reasons:
God is challenging us to pursue Him with all our hearts.
Our Society, which includes the body of Christ, reflects a generation that has wandered from God's original constitution. What is a constitution? More than a document, it's a system that dictates the character, boundaries, temperament and structure of how something is governed.
I believe that every family should have a constitution. Just think about it: You would never enroll your child in a school that lacked an infrastructure. And you wouldn't put your investments and earnings in a banking system void of policies and procedures mandated by the Federal Reserve System.
Even the animal kingdom operates by a constitution—one of instinct. The governing law of nature that God deposited into animals works like a divine compass. You will never see an eagle protesting to the Creator that he wants to be a fish.
As you can easily assume from our recent picture, my wife and I are blessed with two healthy, bright, wonderful children. They are both miracles.
Our son, Zion Seth, had a very traumatic birth that, according to the attending physicians, should have left him brain damaged from oxygen deprivation. But we "spoke to the mountain" expecting it to move and God honored His Word. Our son is anything but mentally challenged. During high school he scored in the top 5 percent in the U.S. on his ACT test.
Seth also had a physical handicap: he was a toe-walker until the age of eight. He never walked without walking on his toes. A specialist suggested surgery, but he warned us that the process would be very risky and could result in him being crippled for life.
As we discussed the options, I heard God say, "Leave this place and don't ever come back." Soon after, in a large convention, two Spirit-filled ministers joined me in intercession over Seth for about 20 minutes. He was healed and has walked flat-footed ever since.

Washington (CNN) — A top political adviser to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing back against a series of new on-line ads in McConnell's home state of Kentucky that target the top Senate Republican for helping to negotiate a deal that prevented the U.S. from falling off the fiscal cliff.
The ads, by the conservative advocacy group ForAmerica, ask "Mitch McConnell: Whose side are you on?" and show an image of a sullen McConnell sandwiched between pictures of a grinning Vice President Joe Biden and a smirking President Barack Obama.
After talks between the president and House Speaker John Boehner to avert the January 1 triggering of tax increases and massive federal government spending cuts broke down late last month, McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden took over negotiations and struck a deal. The vast majority of Senate Republicans voted for plan, which overwhelming passed the chamber. But even though the bill also passed the House, a majority of GOP representatives voted against the deal.
The five-term McConnell faces reelection next year, and is hoping to fend off any possible conservative primary challenges.
"Senator McConnell just won a victory to cut taxes for over 99 percent of Americans and will now help lead the fight to rein in spending and reform our broken entitlement system. Hopefully, all of our friends on the Right will get behind these efforts and stand up for our country," Jesse Benton, who's steering McConnell's re-election bid, told CNN in an email.
Before joining McConnell, Benton was the top political adviser to Rep. Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign, and also steered Rand Paul's 2010 Senate victory in Kentucky, including a GOP primary victory over a candidate backed by McConnell.
For America, which touts a three-million strong on-line following, says the ad is their first of the 2014 cycle. The group confirms that the on-line ad buy is five figures and includes Google Display, Facebook and The Drudge Report, both in Kentucky and in Washington, DC.
"Conservatives are holding Republicans accountable for betraying their principles, and are open to supporting challengers who may emerge. Kentucky elected Rand Paul, McConnell should be concerned," says ForAmerica Chairman Brent Bozell.
And responding to Benton, Bozell said "so to oppose a tax-and-spend agenda is anti-American? I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that."
The ad urges people to sign a petition to let McConnell and other Republicans in Congress know that they will be held "accountable" if they "go against the principles they claim to support!"
The deal puts off massive budget cuts for two months, and keeps the expiring Bush-era tax cuts for individuals earning less than $400,000 or couples earning less than $450,000. President Barack Obama has long demanded that the threshold be set at $250,000. Republicans wanted the Bush-era tax rates to be extended to all Americans, including the highest earners.
Economists warned that a one-two punch of tax increases and spending cuts, known as "sequestration," could push the U.S. economy back into recession and drive unemployment back over 9% by the end of 2013.
Politico first reported on the ForAmerica ad.

The chief butler and baker of Pharaoh in prison, Their dreams interpreted by Joseph. (1-19) The ingratitude of the chief butler. (20-23)
Verses 1-19 It was not so much the prison that made the butler and baker sad, as their dreams. God has more ways than one to sadden the spirits. Joseph had compassion towards them. Let us be concerned for the sadness of our brethren's countenances. It is often a relief to those that are in trouble to be noticed. Also learn to look into the causes of our own sorrow. Is there a good reason? Is there not comfort sufficient to balance it, whatever it is? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Joseph was careful to ascribe the glory to God. The chief butler's dream foretold his advancement. The chief baker's dream his death. It was not Joseph's fault that he brought the baker no better tidings. And thus ministers are but interpreters; they cannot make the thing otherwise than it is: if they deal faithfully, and their message prove unpleasing, it is not their fault. Joseph does not reflect upon his brethren that sold him; nor does he reflect on the wrong done him by his mistress and his master, but mildly states his own innocence. When we are called on to clear ourselves, we should carefully avoid, as much as may be, speaking ill of others. Let us be content to prove ourselves innocent, and not upbraid others with their guilt.
Verses 20-23 Joseph's interpretation of the dreams came to pass on the very day fixed. On Pharaoh's birth-day, all his servants attended him, and then the cases of these two came to be looked into. We may all profitably take notice of our birth-days, with thankfulness for the mercies of our birth, sorrow for the sinfulness of our lives, and expectation of the day of our death, as better than the day of our birth. But it seems strange that worldly people, who are so fond of living here, should rejoice at the end of one year after another of their short span of life. A Christian has cause to rejoice that he was born, also that he comes nearer to the end of his sin and sorrow, and nearer to his everlasting happiness. The chief butler remembered not Joseph, but forgot him. Joseph had deserved well at his hands, yet he forgot him. We must not think it strange, if in this world we have hatred shown us for our love, and slights for our kindness. See how apt those who are themselves at ease are to forget others in distress. Joseph learned by his disappointment to trust in God only. We cannot expect too little from man, nor too much from God. Let us not forget the sufferings, promises, and love of our Redeemer. We blame the chief butler's ingratitude to Joseph, yet we ourselves act much more ungratefully to the Lord Jesus. Joseph had but foretold the chief butler's enlargement, but Christ wrought out ours; he mediated with the King of Kings for us; yet we forget him, though often reminded of him, and though we have promised never to forget him. Thus ill do we requite Him, like foolish people and unwise.
Genesis 40:1-8 . TWO STATE PRISONERS.
1. the butler--not only the cup-bearer, but overseer of the royal vineyards, as well as the cellars; having, probably, some hundreds of people under him.
baker--or cook, had the superintendence of every thing relating to the providing and preparing of meats for the royal table. Both officers, especially the former, were, in ancient Egypt, always persons of great rank and importance; and from the confidential nature of their employment, as well as their access to the royal presence, they were generally the highest nobles or princes of the blood.
3. Pharaoh put them in ward, &c.--Whatever was their crime, they were committed, until their case could be investigated, to the custody of the captain of the guard, that is, Potiphar, in an outer part of whose house the royal prison was situated.
4. The captain of the guard charged Joseph with them--not the keeper, though he was most favorably disposed; but Potiphar himself, who, it would seem, was by this time satisfied of the perfect innocence of the young Hebrew; though, probably, to prevent the exposure of his family, he deemed it prudent to detain him in confinement (see Psalms 37:5 ).
They continued a season in ward--literally, "days," how long, is uncertain; but as they were called to account on the king's birthday, it has been supposed that their offense had been committed on the preceding anniversary [CALVIN].
5-8. they dreamed a dream--Joseph, influenced by the spirit of true religion, could feel for others ( Ecclesiastes 4:1 , Romans 12:15 , Philippians 2:4 ). Observing them one day extremely depressed, he inquired the cause of their melancholy; and being informed it was owing to a dream they had respectively dreamed during the previous night, after piously directing them to God ( Daniel 2:30 , Isaiah 26:10 ), he volunteered to aid them, through the divine help, in discovering the import of their vision. The influence of Providence must be seen in the remarkable fact of both officers dreaming such dreams in one night. He moves the spirits of men.
Genesis 40:9-15 . THE BUTLER'S DREAM.
9-11. In my dream, behold, a vine was before me--The visionary scene described seems to represent the king as taking exercise and attended by his butler, who gave him a cooling draught. On all occasions, the kings of ancient Egypt were required to practice temperance in the use of wine [WILKINSON]; but in this scene, it is a prepared beverage he is drinking, probably the sherbet of the present day. Everything was done in the king's presence--the cup was washed, the juice of the grapes pressed into it; and it was then handed to him--not grasped; but lightly resting on the tips of the fingers.
12-15. Joseph said, . . . This is the interpretation--Speaking as an inspired interpreter, he told the butler that within three days he would be restored to all the honors and privileges of his office; and while making that joyful announcement, he earnestly bespoke the officer's influence for his own liberation. Nothing has hitherto met us in the record indicative of Joseph's feelings; but this earnest appeal reveals a sadness and impatient longing for release, which not all his piety and faith in God could dispel.
Genesis 40:16-23 . THE BAKER'S DREAM.
16. I had three white baskets--The circumstances mentioned exactly describe his duties, which, notwithstanding numerous assistants, he performed with his own hands.
white--literally, "full of holes"; that is, wicker baskets. The meats were carried to table upon the head in three baskets, one piled upon the other; and in the uppermost, the bakemeats. And in crossing the open courts, from the kitchen to the dining rooms, the removal of the viands by a vulture, eagle, ibis, or other rapacious bird, was a frequent occurrence in the palaces of Egypt, as it is an everyday incident in the hot countries of the East still. The risk from these carnivorous birds was the greater in the cities of Egypt, where being held sacred, it was unlawful to destroy them; and they swarmed in such numbers as to be a great annoyance to the people.
18, 19. Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation--The purport was that in three days his execution should be ordered. The language of Joseph describes minutely one form of capital punishment that prevailed in Egypt; namely, that the criminal was decapitated and then his headless body gibbeted on a tree by the highway till it was gradually devoured by the ravenous birds.
20-22. it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday--This was a holiday season, celebrated at court with great magnificence and honored by a free pardon to prisoners. Accordingly, the issue happened to the butler and baker, as Joseph had foretold. Doubtless, he felt it painful to communicate such dismal tidings to the baker; but he could not help announcing what God had revealed to him; and it was for the honor of the true God that he should speak plainly.
23. yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph--This was human nature. How prone are men to forget and neglect in prosperity, those who have been their companions in adversity ( Amos 6:6 )! But although reflecting no credit on the butler, it was wisely ordered in the providence of God that he should forget him. The divine purposes required that Joseph should obtain his deliverance in another way, and by other means.

Hmm, no thanks. The internet is pervasive and permanent enough as it is without actually forcing people to attach a real name to everything they do.
Again, love the talk about anonymity on twitter, when you have all the lovely comment hosted on the News Ltd and Fairfax websites.
it just doesn't seem that weird to me that celebs, who pre-facebook,youtube, twit etc probably used the internet for...heaven knows, but they probably weren't using message boards or w/ever and experiencing/witnessing trolling/flaming and all that sort of stuff, are prone to reacting badly to constant and increasing vile abuse. i mean they're kinda just jumping into the deep end.....like the really deep end.
They should make it compulsory on forums for you to have to put up a picture of yourself as your avatar. I for one am for the idea

Colin Firth Gossip
Colin Firth gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Skins meets Bond
Mathis Wienand/ Getty Images
The redband trailer for the upcoming Kingsman: The Secret Service has been released. Colin Firth plays a Bond type. He recruits and trains a new member of the Secret Service – a punk kid who looks like he could have been in Skins. It's a comedy. And … I'm into it. SO into it. Full Story
Can you keep the wig?
FameFlynet, Splash
Jude Law, who is expecting his fifth child with ex-girlfriend Catherine Harding, was seen on set in Manchester this weekend with Colin Firth, working on a new film called Genius. He should keep this lace-front wig. I'm writing this while Jordana, Key Hair on The Social Full Story
Emma Stone's LBD of the Year
If I can remember, and I'm motivated enough, I want to do an LBD-off, like a tournament to rank the best black dresses of the year. This one on Emma Stone has to be part of it. Gorgeous. Chloe. And normally I don't like the overlay thing. The difference here is that it's not just sheer. Full Story
Nicole Kidman's "annus horribilis"?
Jon Furniss/ Corbis/ Splash, Dave J Hogan/ Getty
Not my words. That's from The Telegraph's review of Before I Go To Sleep, the new film starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. They walked the carpet together last night to promote it in London. The Telegraph's film critic gave the movie only 2 stars and, at the end, made the following comment: "Blunt-force trauma, memory loss, and those Grace of Monaco reviews? Talk about an annus horribilis for Nicole. Full Story
Emma's two dates
Dimitrios Kambouris/ Getty
New York premiere of Magic In The Moonlight. Emma Stone showed up with her boyfriend Andrew Garfield. Of course her co-star Colin Firth was there too. Not a bad night, right? Many people thought Emma and Andrew would split as soon as they were done promoting Spider-Man, especially since…SPOILER ALERT… Her role in the franchise is done. Full Story
Emma & Colin promote Magic In The Moonlight
247PapsTV/ Splash
Woody Allen is fascinated by magic. And now, apparently, Emma Stone. Because he's cast her in his next movie. But first… Magic In The Moonlight opens next week. Colin Firth plays a middle-aged man who meets a beautiful, young "seer" (is there any other kind in Woody's mind?) and tries to prove that she's full of sh-t but, naturally, ends up falling in love with her. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Colin Firth was supposed to be the voice of Paddington Bear in the new film due out this fall. That will not be happening anymore. Firth released a statement explaining why:
"After a period of denial we've chosen 'conscious uncoupling.' It's been bittersweet to see this delightful creature take shape and come to the sad realisation that he simply doesn't have my voice. I've had the joy of seeing most of the film and it's going to be quite wonderful. I still feel rather protective of this bear and I'm pestering them all with suggestions for finding a voice worthy of him."
It was a joke on the internet, of course, the "conscious uncoupling". But now it's being played for a joke among her peers, Oscar-winning peers. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
TIME has released its annual list of 100 Most Influential People. The categories are: Titans, Pioneers, Artists, Leaders, Icons. So who's a Titan?
Beyonce, of course.
To me, what's been most interesting on this list isn't necessarily who's on it but the people who are chosen or have volunteered to write the piece that accompanies the entry. Beyonce's, for example, was written by Sheryl Sandberg. Pharrell, who is also a Titan, was honoured by Justin Timberlake – who did it last year for Jimmy Fallon and made it all about himself (click here for a refresher). JT managed to restrain his ego this time.
Under the Icon category, we find…Carrie Underwood. Read Full Intro
How about some Handsome?
FameFlynet, Blayze/ Splash
I mean... I don't think there's anyone better in a suit. No one. And you can't accuse me of age-ism either because he's not 24, which is how old I normally perv them but then again, at 24, it's never done this well. Colin Firth has been in New York promoting The Railway Man. Full Story
Colin Firth feels inadequate
Stuart C. Wilson/ ANDREW COWIE/ Getty
Never. But I do love the comments he made last night at the premiere of The Railway Man in London. It's the true story of Eric Lomax who was captured during the Second World War, tortured, and made to work on Thai-Burma railway. Many years later he decided to confront his tormentor. Lomax is survived by his wife Patti who praised Full Story
Emma, Andrew, and thin Colin
Didier Baverel/ Getty
Andrew Garfield showed up in costume at Comic-Con – click here if you missed Sarah's recap earlier today—and then flew straight to the South of France to see his girlfriend Emma Stone where she's working on Woody Allen's new movie with Colin Firth. Full Story
Handsome in Cannes
Wenn, KCS Presse/ Samir Hussein/ Getty
Stop what you're doing right now. Because Colin Firth was in Cannes. Looking better than he has in a long time. Here he is being beautiful at a couple of Chopard events yesterday. Livia, his wife, is there too. Colin's kept a relatively low profile for the last couple of years but he's recently been confirmed to star in Woody Allen's latest, with Emma Stone, and also in Matthew Vaughn's The Secret Service, described as a comic book Bond. Full Story
Cam wants a Brit?
Wenn, Tim Whitby/ Getty
Here are Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth at the London premiere of Gambit tonight. Gambit will be released in the UK on November 21. I haven't been able to find a US date yet which isn't a good sign. And, as I wrote last month, if you've seen the trailer, that probably doesn't surprise you. Full Story
Snape, Mark Darcy, and Mary
Gareth Cattermole/Getty
A naked Alan Rickman, a half naked Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz in her underwear and panties, the always amazing Stanley Tucci ... These are the main highlights from the first Gambit trailer that was just released yesterday (I love trailer season!) and, well, as much potential as it might have to be great, am I crazy in saying that it doesn't seem all that funny and that Cameron Diaz isn't the main problem? Yes, of course a line like "Have a look at these" is meant to be more amusing only because it's Alan Rickman delivering it but. Full Story

8Ingo and Stefan dining set hack
"I painted I got an Ingo table and two Stefan chairs for $10 on Craigslist a few months ago.

About Me Health Conscious
Comments about Wedge Support Pillow XL:
Tried to sleep with this wedge but found it too uncomfortable. My 11 year old grandson loves it, however.
Hard as a rock.
By JoSchmo
from Erie, PA
I was worried about this being so soft that it wouldn't seem as if it was even there, like foam mattress pads, but it is so hard I had to put pillows over it to be able to sleep on it. I'm going to try putting it under the mattress. Don't buy this for anyone with osteoporosis. It will hurt their bones. The cover is slippery and pillows and your body slide right off.
works perfectly for intended need.

About Me Budget Shopper
I got this pillow because I have both GE reflux and a pinched nerve in my neck. Sleeping on 2 pillows overextended my neck when I slept on my side (when I didn't fall off the pillows during the night and end up sleeping flat). The wedge pillow gives me the head elevation I need without over-extending my neck. (I still use 1 pillow specifically for side sleepers to support my head and neck.) I like it so much I travel with it, even though it takes up half of my largest suitcase. (And I bought the smallest wedge pillow available.)

'Really helps with sinus drainage. Also good for people with congestive heart failure.
Good elevation
By Peg

The gentle slope cuts down on the sharp contrast between using multiple pillows.....reduces neck pain and encourages restful sleeping.

Check you later Zack Greinke
milwaukee brewers July 28th, 2012
Well, the day that we inevitably knew was going to come has come and Zack Greinke is no longer a Milwaukee Brewer. I wish he could have stayed and won the World Series; but the bullpen, luck and the injury bug had other plans. Now he's gone.
It's been a weird run. There were a lot of really great times. I'll never forget the day I found out he was coming to Milwaukee and I invented a dance to go along with it. I was so excited I nearly peed my pants. I was smiling and laughing and dancing. I was so, SO happy. Insanely happy. I even wrote about it:
Greatest moments of my life:
- Son being born
- Something involving my girlfriend*
- Zack Greinke becoming a Brewer
The point here is that I can't imagine what it felt like to want to close this site or to not like baseball anymore because I love this site and baseball and the Brewers more than anything in my life right now. I just want to write, watch and read about the Brewers every second of every day for the rest of my life. The Brewers are going to the World Series and then they are going to win it. We are about to see the greatest Brewers team of our lifetime. Everything that came before will seem like a joke.
Hey, 1982 what a season am I right? Yeah, what a season... FOR LOSERS! 2011 BITCHES!!!!
Besides the World Series and that laughable girlfriend comment, I think I agree with most everything that I said at that time. Last year's team really was the greatest team of my lifetime. They just didn't know how to not pitch Marcum and Narveson in the most important game of the season (I really need to stop doing this) and it ended sooner than it should have. The Zack Greinke trade brought me from a place where I wasn't sure if I still wanted to be in love with baseball and made me be totally in love with it again. I've never wavered again and I'm really glad it worked out how it did. Every fifth day was like a mini-holiday for awhile there. I saw some amazing games at Miller Park with Zack on the mound and it was pretty awesome. I liked it. Read the rest of this entry »

Remember when virtual reality was all the rage? What about the daily-deal explosion?
We love a good story and a quick cash infusion, but when it comes down to it, we're far bigger fans of businesses built on a solid foundation -- those that can weather the economy's fits and starts; that can embrace what's trendy but don't crash when kids move on to the next big thing; that address the wants and needs of America's increasingly diverse population.
Our list of the trends we've got our eyes on will help anchor your business, present or future, in reality. From cooking up goodies that satisfy America's growing taste for all things spicy -- a sign of our shifting demographics -- to helping workers who are locking the door on traditional office setups, these trends are built to last (at least for a while). Consider this a jumping-off point as you envision new products and services -- and look at it as a heads-up on evolving ways to manage your current business. Now, to your future.
The Rise of Big Data
Cutting-edge entrepreneurs are stepping up to crunch the vast (and ever-growing) stockpile of information too large for companies to store and analyze in-house.
Domestic Production Makes a Comeback
Factors like more affordable labor, higher shipping costs, a better financial climate and a surge of homegrown innovation mean the U.S. manufacturing startup universe is experiencing a renaissance.
Office Space
The Workspace of the Future
The office is getting a new look -- or being phased out altogether.
Managers Who Understand the Importance of Goofing Off
CEOs get the message about the value of fun in the workplace and its contribution to the bottom line.
Beauty Seekers Favor 'Cosmeceuticals'
Consumers take a shine to advanced personal-care products.
Hot Sauce Goes Mainstream
Move over ketchup. Hot sauce is now one of the 10 fastest-growing industries in the U.S.
Energy-Drink Market Gets a Boost From Young Consumers
Energy-enhancing products have grown into a multibillion-dollar industry fueled by young consumers.
Healthcare Goes Digital
The digital health-technology market will be worth $5.7 billion by 2015, with chronic care, wellness and medication management leading the charge.
Customer Service
Using Transparency to Build Consumer Trust
Weary consumers have had enough of false promises and conflicting marketing claims and are simply seeking brands they can trust.
Unique Vending Machines Drive Stagnant Industry Forward
Recent innovations like touchscreen technology, electronic-payment options and unique products could give the vending machines industry a boost.
Creative Financing Grows in Popularity
Traditional business lending is still faltering, but more people are starting businesses, which means borrowers and lenders are getting creative.

What, not enough bandwidth on the Oz politics thread?
What, not enough bandwidth on the Oz politics thread?
We're trying to teach you a thing or two. America is broken.

"Hope is the fuel of progress and fear is the prison in which you put yourself" - Tony Benn
#408. Sixty three not out forever.
Was talking to an old friend tonight, he proposed a brilliant idea for America to partially solve it's employment crisis.
Re-hire every public sector worker (and then some) fired during the GFC and recession. That's 1.4 million jobs gained basically overnight! Unemployment drops to 7.3% (at least) and everyone's happy!
Except the GOP of course, which would have the biggest collective aneurysm of all time - which is the main reason to do it. Because Obama would henceforth be proclaimed the greatest troll in human history.

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Obamacare, including the individual mandate, survives!! Holy Cow I did not expect that to happen.
"The future light cone of the next Indian fast bowler is exactly the same as the past light cone of the previous one"

time to post those Obama dancing GIF's.
Conservatives are sure to flip even more since it was a Bushie that was the swing.
For as long as there is limited overs cricket - of ten, twenty or fifty overs - there will remain the Sri Lankan spinners' mid-innings choke
If Obama wins, and/or Democrats hold on to the Senate, this will be Obama's legacy.

The Cleveland branch, where locals go to get their driver's licenses, finished in second place amongst Mississippi Highway Patrol offices that took part in MSTF's inaugural National Donate Life Blue and Green Day.
The official event, held April 19, was celebrated by staff as they decorated the office, donned blue and green and were prepped with information about organ and tissue transplants.
The staff chose a "Wizard of Oz" theme and even had model Scarecrow and Tinman props.
April is tagged National Donate Life Month in celebration of transplantation.
Greg Jackson, hospital services coordinator for MSTF, visited the office Wednesday to award the branch for its winning participation.
Three local kidney transplant recipients, Floreice Sutton, Zachary Haynes and his father Barry Haynes, were present to say thanks to those who donated to them in a time of need.
"This was our first attempt at Blue and Green Day and it was a big success," said Jackson. "Every month we're going to bring information to the different offices and encourage staff to provide material to people coming in for services."
Eleven-year-old Zachary, who needed the transplant because be was born dehydrated, said it means a lot knowing organizations are educating others about the issue.
In August of 2012 he received his transplant from an anonymous donor who Zachary said is an angel. Today he is happy, healthy and feeling more energetic.
"I just want to say thank you to everyone," said Zachary. "We should keep raising more money to help people that need donors."
Amazingly, Zachary's father also required a kidney transplant and Zachary's uncle, Benny Haynes, answered the prayers for a donor.
"It's been an incredible path my son and I have been down," said Barry. "Events like today are so important because it's about educating the people."
Sutton also was pleased with MHP's efforts.
"You don't hear a lot about transplants and what it means to be a donor and recipient," said the recipient of a kidney and cornea transplant.
"This experience has made me a stronger person and not let me take anything for granted," Sutton added. "Transplants are about saving lives and we need everyone to understand what their support can do."
According to an MSTF press release, there are currently more than 118,000 individuals on the national waiting list for an organ transplant.
More than 28,000 lives are saved each year in the U.S. through organ donation, and 18 people die every day for lack of available organs. In Mississippi alone, 284 people are waiting for life-saving transplants.
After death, one organ donor can save as many as eight lives.
Cleveland's Highway Patrol Master Sargent Ola Kirk said her office would continue to spread awareness on the pressing issue.
"It's an honor for us to be recognized today, but this is really about the people who need it," said Kirk. "Our commitment comes from the heart and we will do what we can to save lives."
One way to save lives is to register on the Organ and Tissue Donor Registry at www.DonateLifeMS.org.
MSTF is the designated nonprofit organ procurement organization for the Mid-South area, including parts of western Tennessee, eastern Arkansas and 19 counties in northern Mississippi.
MSTF is also a member of Donate Life America; www.midsouthtransplant.org.

Material: Porcelain
Brand: Schylling
Origin: Imported
The first Schylling toy: a mechanical flying bird imported from France, similar to the one Harvard grad and Massachusetts resident Jack Schylling spotted in Harvard Square. He founded the Rowley-based company in 1975 and though a lot has changed in those decades — today, along with continuing to import toys, half of Schylling's shelves are stocked with originals designed in-house — one thing has stayed the same. Timeless, retro-inspired toys with a nostalgic feel have stayed Schylling's specialty, from Jack in the Boxes to porcelain tea sets to collectors' tin toys.


text:
The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written soon after the first. The apostle was told that, from some expressions in his first letter, many expected the second coming of Christ was at hand, and that the day of judgment would arrive in their time. Some of these neglected their worldly duties. St. Paul wrote again to correct their error, which hindered the spread of the gospel. He had written agreeably to the words of the prophets of the Old Testament; and he tells them there were many counsels of the Most High yet to be fulfilled, before that day of the Lord should come, though, because it is sure, he had spoken of it as near. The subject led to a remarkable foretelling, of some of the future events which were to take place in the after-ages of the Christian church, and which show the prophetic spirit the apostle possessed.
The apostle blesses God for the growing state of the love and patience of the Thessalonians. (1-4) And encourages them to persevere under all their sufferings for Christ, considering his coming at the great day of account. (5-12)
Verses 1-4 Where there is the truth of grace, there will be an increase of it. The path of the just is as the shining light, which shines more and more unto the perfect day. And where there is the increase of grace, God must have all the glory. Where faith grows, love will abound, for faith works by love. It shows faith and patience, such as may be proposed as a pattern for others, when trials from God, and persecutions from men, quicken the exercise of those graces; for the patience and faith of which the apostle gloried, bore them up, and enabled them to endure all their tribulations.
Verses 5-10 Religion, if worth anything, is worth every thing; and those have no religion, or none worth having, or know not how to value it, cannot find their hearts to suffer for it. We cannot by all our sufferings, any more than by our services, merit heaven; but by our patience under sufferings, we are prepared for the promised joy. Nothing more strongly marks a man for eternal ruin, than a spirit of persecution and enmity to the name and people of God. God will trouble those that trouble his people. And there is a rest for the people of God; a rest from sin and sorrow. The certainty of future recompence is proved by the righteousness of God. The thoughts of this should be terrible to wicked men, and support the righteous. Faith, looking to the great day, is enabled partly to understand the book of providence, which appears confused to unbelievers. The Lord Jesus will in that day appear from heaven. He will come in the glory and power of the upper world. His light will be piercing, and his power consuming, to all who in that day shall be found as chaff. This appearance will be terrible to those that know not God, especially to those who rebel against revelation, and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the great crime of multitudes, the gospel is revealed, and they will not believe it; or if they pretend to believe, they will not obey it. Believing the truths of the gospel, is in order to our obeying the precepts of the gospel. Though sinners may be long spared, they will be punished at last. They did sin's work, and must receive sin's wages. Here God punishes sinners by creatures as instruments; but then, it will be destruction from the Almighty; and who knows the power of his anger? It will be a joyful day to some, to the saints, to those who believe and obey the gospel. In that bright and blessed day, Christ Jesus will be glorified and admired by his saints. And Christ will be glorified and admired in them. His grace and power will be shown, when it shall appear what he has purchased for, and wrought in, and bestowed upon those who believe in him. Lord, if the glory put upon thy saints shall be thus admired, how much more shalt thou be admired, as the Bestower of that glory! The glory of thy justice in the damnation of the wicked will be admired, but not as the glory of thy mercy in the salvation of believers. How will this strike the adoring angels with holy admiration, and transport thy admiring saints with eternal rapture! The meanest believer shall enjoy more than the most enlarged heart can imagine while we are here; Christ will be admired in all those that believe, the meanest believer not excepted.
Verses 11-12 Believing thoughts and expectations of the second coming of Christ should lead us to pray to God more, for ourselves and others. If there is any good in us, it is owing to the good pleasure of his goodness, and therefore it is called grace. There are many purposes of grace and good-will in God toward his people, and the apostle prays that God would complete in them the work of faith with power. This is to their doing every other good work. The power of God not only begins, but carries on the work of faith. And this is the great end and design of the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ, which is made known to us, and wrought in us.
2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 . ADDRESS AND SALUTATION: INTRODUCTION: THANKSGIVING FOR THEIR GROWTH IN FAITH AND LOVE, AND FOR THEIR PATIENCE IN PERSECUTIONS, WHICH ARE A TOKEN FOR GOOD EVERLASTING TO THEM, AND FOR PERDITION TO THEIR ADVERSARIES AT CHRIST'S COMING: PRAYER FOR THEIR PERFECTION.
1. in God our Father--still more endearing than the address, 1 Thessalonians 1:1 "in God THE Father."
2. from God our Father--So some oldest manuscripts read. Others omit "our."
3. We are bound--Greek, "We owe it as a debt" ( 2 Thessalonians 2:13 ). They had prayed for the Thessalonians ( 1 Thessalonians 3:12 ) that they might "increase and abound in love"; their prayer having been heard, it is a small but a bounden return for them to make, to thank God for it. Thus, Paul and his fellow missionaries practice what they preach ( 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ). In 1 Thessalonians 1:3 , their thanksgiving was for the Thessalonians' faith, love, and patience"; here, for their exceeding growth in faith, and for their charity abounding. "We are bound" expresses the duty of thanksgiving from its subjective side as an inward conviction. "As it is meet," from the objective: side as something answering to the state of circumstances [ALFORD]. Observe the exact correspondence of the prayer ( 1 Thessalonians 3:12 , "The Lord make you to abound in love") and the answer, "The love of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth" (compare 1 Thessalonians 4:10 ).
4. glory in you--make our boast of you, literally, "in your case." "Ourselves" implies that not merely did they hear others speaking of the Thessalonians' faith, but they, the missionaries themselves, boasted of it. Compare 1 Thessalonians 1:8 , wherein the apostle said, their faith was so well known in various places, that he and his fellow missionaries had no need to speak of it; but here he says, so abounding is their love, combined with faith and patience, that he and his fellow missionaries themselves, make it a matter of glorying in the various churches elsewhere (he was now at Corinth in Achaia, and boasted there of the faith of the Macedonian churches, 2 Corinthians 10:15-17 , 8:1 , at the same time giving the glory to the Lord), not only looking forward to glorying thereat at Christ's coming ( 1 Thessalonians 2:19 ), but doing so even now.
patience--in 1 Thessalonians 1:3 , "patience of hope." Here hope is tacitly implied as the ground of their patience; 2 Thessalonians 1:5 2 Thessalonians 1:7 state the object of their hope, namely, the kingdom for which they suffer.
tribulations--literally, "pressures." The Jews were the instigators of the populace and of the magistrates against Christians ( Acts 17:6 Acts 17:8 ).
which ye endure--Greek, "are (now) enduring."
5. Which--Your enduring these tribulations is a "token of the righteous judgment of God," manifested in your being enabled to endure them, and in your adversaries thereby filling up the measure of their guilt. The judgment is even now begun, but its consummation will be at the Lord's coming. David ( Psalms 73:1-14 ) and Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 12:1-4 ) were perplexed at the wicked prospering and the godly suffering. But Paul, by the light of the New Testament, makes this fact a matter of consolation. It is a proof (so the Greek) of the future judgment, which will set to rights the anomalies of the present state, by rewarding the now suffering saint, and by punishing the persecutor. And even now "the Judge of all the earth does right" ( Genesis 18:25 ); for the godly are in themselves sinful and need chastisement to amend them. What they suffer unjustly at the hands of cruel men they suffer justly at the hands of God; and they have their evil things here that they may escape condemnation with the world and have their good things hereafter ( Luke 16:25 , 1 Corinthians 11:32 ) [EDMUNDS].
that ye may be counted worthy--expressing the purpose of God's "righteous judgment" as regards you.
for which--Greek, "in behalf of which ye are also suffering" (compare Acts 5:41 , 9:16 , Philippians 1:29 ). "Worthy" implies that, though men are justified by faith, they shall be judged "according to their works" ( Revelation 20:12 ; compare 1 Thessalonians 2:12 , 1 Peter 1:6 1 Peter 1:7 , Revelation 20:4 ). The "also" implies the connection between the suffering for the kingdom and being counted worthy of it. Compare Romans 8:17 Romans 8:18 .
6. seeing it is a righteous thing--This justifies the assertion above of there being a "righteous judgment" ( 2 Thessalonians 1:5 ), namely, "seeing that it is (literally, 'if at least,' 'if at all events it is') a righteous thing with (that is, in the estimation of) God" (which, as we all feel, it certainly is). Our own innate feeling of what is just, in this confirms what is revealed.
recompense--requite in kind, namely, tribulation to them that trouble you (affliction to those that afflict you); and to you who are troubled, rest from trouble.
7. rest--governed by "to recompense" ( 2 Thessalonians 1:6 ). The Greek is literally, "relaxation"; loosening of the tension which had preceded; relaxing of the strings of endurance now so tightly drawn. The Greek word for "rest," Matthew 11:28 , is distinct, namely, cessation from labor. Also, Hebrews 4:9 , "A keeping of sabbath."
with us--namely, Paul, Silas, and Timothy, the writers, who are troubled like yourselves.
when--at the time when . . . ; not sooner, not later.
with his mighty angels--rather as the Greek, "with the angels of His might," or "power," that is, the angels who are the ministers by whom He makes His might to be recognized ( Matthew 13:41 Matthew 13:52 ). It is not their might, but HIS might, which is the prominent thought.
8. In flaming fire--Greek, "In flame of fire"; or, as other oldest manuscripts read, "in fire of flame." This flame of fire accompanied His manifestation in the bush ( Exodus 3:2 ); also His giving of the law at Sinai ( Exodus 19:18 ). Also it shall accompany His revelation at His advent ( Daniel 7:9 Daniel 7:10 ), symbolizing His own bright glory and His consuming vengeance against His foes ( Hebrews 10:27 , 12:29 , 2 Peter 3:7 2 Peter 3:10 ).
taking--literally, "giving" them, as their portion, "vengeance."
know not God--the Gentiles primarily ( Psalms 79:6 , Galatians 4:8 , 1 Thessalonians 4:5 ); not of course those involuntarily not knowing God, but those wilfully not knowing Him, as Pharaoh, who might have known God if he would, but who boasted "I know not the Lord" ( Exodus 5:2 ); and as the heathen persecutors who might have known God by the preaching of those whom they persecuted. Secondarily, all who "profess to know God but in works deny Him" ( Titus 1:16 ).
obey not the gospel--primarily the unbelieving Jews ( Romans 10:3 Romans 10:16 ); secondarily, all who obey not the truth ( Romans 2:8 ).
Christ--omitted by some of the oldest manuscripts, and retained by others.
9. Who--Greek, "persons who," &c.
destruction from the presence of the Lord--driven far from His presence [ALFORD]. The sentence emanating from Him in person, sitting as Judge [BENGEL], and driving them far from Him ( Matthew 25:41 , Revelation 6:16 , 12:14 ; compare 1 Peter 3:12 , Isaiah 2:10 Isaiah 2:19 ). "The presence of the Lord" is the source whence the sentence goes forth; "the glory of His power" is the instrument whereby the sentence is carried into execution [EDMUNDS]. But ALFORD better interprets the latter clause (see 2 Thessalonians 1:10 ), driven "from the manifestation of His power in the glorification of His saints." Cast out from the presence of the Lord is the idea at the root of eternal death, the law of evil left to its unrestricted working, without one counteracting influence of the presence of God, who is the source of all light and holiness ( Isaiah 66:24 , 9:44 ).
10. "When He shall have come."
glorified in his saints--as the element and mirror IN which His glory shall shine brightly ( John 17:10 ).
admired in all them that believe--Greek, "them that believed." Once they believed, now they see: they had taken His word on trust. Now His word is made good and they need faith no longer. With wonder all celestial intelligences ( Ephesians 3:10 ) shall see and admire the Redeemer on account of the excellencies which He has wrought in them.
because, &c.--Supply for the sense, among whom (namely, those who shall be found to have believed) you, too, shall be; "because our testimony unto (so the Greek for 'among') you was believed" (and was not rejected as by those "who obey not the Gospel," 2 Thessalonians 1:8 ). The early preaching of the Gospel was not abstract discussions, but a testimony to facts and truths experimentally known ( Luke 24:48 , Acts 1:8 ). Faith is defined by BISHOP PEARSON as "an assent unto truths, credible upon the testimony of God, delivered unto us by the apostles and prophets" (originally delivering their testimony orally, but now in their writings). "Glorified in His saints" reminds us that holiness is glory in the bud; glory is holiness manifested.
11. Wherefore--Greek, "With a view to which," namely, His glorification in you as His saints.
also--We not only anticipate the coming glorification of our Lord in His saints, but we also pray concerning (so the Greek) YOU.
our God--whom we serve.
count you worthy--The prominent position of the "You" in the Greek makes it the emphatic word of the sentence. May you be found among the saints whom God shall count worthy of their calling ( Ephesians 4:1 )! There is no dignity in us independent of God's calling of us ( 2 Timothy 1:9 ). The calling here is not merely the first actual call, but the whole of God's electing act, originating in His "purpose of grace given us in Christ before the world began," and having its consummation in glory.
the good pleasure of, &c.--on the part of God [BENGEL].
faith--on your part. ALFORD refers the former clause, "good pleasure of his goodness," also to man, arguing that the Greek for "goodness" is never applied to God, and translates, "All [that is, every possible] right purpose of goodness." WAHL, "All sweetness of goodness," that is, impart in full to you all the refreshing delights of goodness. I think that, as in the previous and parallel clause, "calling" refers to GOD'S purpose; and as the Greek for "good pleasure" mostly is used of God, we ought to translate, "fulfil (His) every gracious purpose of goodness (on your part)," that is, fully perfect in you all goodness according to His gracious purpose. Thus, "the grace of our God," 2 Thessalonians 1:12 , corresponds to God's "good pleasure" here, which confirms the English Version, just as "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ" is parallel to "work of faith," as Christ especially is the object of faith. "The work of faith"; Greek, (no article; supply from the previous clause all) work of faith"; faith manifested by work, which is its perfected development ( James 1:4 ; compare Note, Working reality of faith.
with power--Greek, "in power," that is, "powerfully fulfil in you" ( Colossians 1:11 ).
12. the name of our Lord Jesus--Our Lord Jesus in His manifested personality as the God-man.
in you, and ye in him--reciprocal glorification; compare Isaiah 28:5 , "The Lord of hosts shall be . . . a crown of glory and . . . a diadem of beauty unto . . . His people," with Isaiah 62:3 , "Thou (Zion) shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem," &c. ( John 21:10 , Galatians 1:24 , 1 Peter 4:14 ). The believer's graces redound to Christ's glory, and His glory, as their Head, reflects glory on them as the members.
the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ--There is but one Greek article to both, implying the inseparable unity of God and the Lord Jesus.

Best Lap Desk Ever
I recently received this Levenger Lap Desk as a gift from a friend. I instantly fell in love with it! It is very durable yet light enough that you can use it for hours without getting uncomfortable. Whether it's on my lap, my desk, or my bed, my new Lap Desk supports big and small books alike -- and notebooks too! The firmness is perfect - able to be written on comfortably but also pleasant to have in your lap. I will find another use for this product when I get my iPad as well!
April 2, 2010
One year and counting
My lapreader is the best investment I have made in a long time. I enjoy it for writing notes, reading Bible/books, and iPad. It stays on my sofa ready for the next person to use who needs the perfect place to work. This weekend I handed it to a nephew who was using an iPad. He stopped and examined it thoroughly, and loved it. It is a wonderful product.
April 17, 2013
Ended Up Loving It
Received it several years ago and was disappointed - seemed rigid, an odd size, and the angle wasn't enough for the way I prefer to view a book. Rediscovered it this summer and it became my constant companion on the porch. Turns out the firmness and angle are perfect for writing and being broader than most lap pillows is excellent for magazines. The pockets are great for always having pencil, paper, and post-its handy. Worked well for iPad too, though agree having more 'grip' would enhance it.
November 2, 2012
Decent, could be better
For books, this pillow is pretty good. For a tablet, though, I find the angle too low--I need the tablet tipped a bit more to cut glare. And, as others have said, the lip at the base is just not quite enough to really be sure of holding things. It is nice and durable.
July 14, 2012
Multi-media wonder
I purchased this for my 90+ Dad for Christmas. I'd watched him holding heavy books for extended periods, or trying to hold and type/touch on the iPad, and thought "he needs a lap desk to do the holding so he doesn't have to." He loves using it for his iPad, Kindle, Kindle Fire, and, oh, yeah, those 1000-page hardback histories and biographies he loves to read. As an added bonus, I gave him a couple of "touch" styluses, which make it much easier to "type" on the smaller glass keyboards.
April 6, 2012
Love it!
I picked this out as a gift for myself. It is great for reading on my iPad. It is also works great with books. The only thing I wonder about is the ledge at the bottom - it feels a bit flimsy. After a month's use, it is still working just fine, however.
March 14, 2011
Problem solved!
I slipped on the ice and broke my arm, and I'll have a cast for 6-8 weeks. If I hold a book, an iPad, or a notepad using one hand, I have no hand left for note-taking or keyboard. This little lap desk solved my problem. The surface and angle are ideal, and the front panel keeps my gear from slipping off where I can't reach it. Its light weigh, perfect size, and attractive, efficient styling guarantee I'll use it long after I'm out of the cast.
March 12, 2011
Absolutely Love My "Lapreader" Lap Desk!
This is a lifesaver for a grandma in graduate school. The only thing I would like to see is to have the top surface be out of suade or suadecloth so that the book doesn't slide if you are highlighting. Otherwise it is the greatest invention since the - since the highlighter!!! I can't study without it and I drag it with me wherever I go, since it is so light and portable. I plan to get another one to keep in my car where I often study, since it is so inexpensive. A real treasure for the active reader!!! Thank you, Levenger.
December 3, 2010
As someone else mentioned, the Lapreader is not as high as I needed. I am handicapped and spend hours reading or working on my Craftmatic, using it as a recliner. I had to put up the bottom of the Craftmatic and use pillows to raise the Lapreader up. It kept slipping. I am doing Bible study and journaling with a Study Bible and reference materials. They are heavy so I was hoping the Lapreader would work. After only a few uses, the ridge that is to keep books from coming forward began to collapse. It is no longer capable of holding books.
April 30, 2010
nice, but needs more tilt
I got this as a gift, and use it daily. It is perfect for my laptop, which I read for many hours each day. I also read books a lot, and while it is OK, I usually put something behind the top of the book to make it higher, the angle is not enough for comfortable reading for me. I like the size, it is not too big and leaves room around it for other things (in my case, my cat). The pockets keep a bookmark handy, and the stop at the bottom is handy, though I worry that it may not hold up over time - we'll have to see. Overall very handy and comfortable to use, much better than the pillow I had been using.

Comments about Sanuk Vagabond Big & Tall:
I got these because it's been hard to find sandals that I like in big & tall sizes. I wear size 15 shoes and got these in 16 and they fit just right. Extremely comfortable and are by far my favorite shoe. Only problem I've had is one of the seams came loose while playing wiffleball with my son. No biggie. Will definitely buy more in the future. LOVE THESE SHOES...oops SANDALS.

Comments about Sanuk Vagabond Big & Tall:
I bought these because I like to wear sandals all of the time. They are very comfortable, and I can't wait to wear them throughout our Minnesota winters.
I normally wear a size 15-16 shoe, so I got a 16 to be safe. They fit great, with my big toe just barely touching. I haven't had them for very long, so I can't comment on how durable they are.
They look good with shorts and jeans, so I'll be ordering a couple more pairs in different colors.
I highly recommend these for anyone that wears sandals a lot, but may need to wear "shoes" from time to time.
