We recently received a question from a reader asking about the best way to cook rice. In order to better understand what the best method might be, we reached out to experts Guy Crosby, PhD, and Ruth MacDonald, PhD, RD, for more information about this versatile grain and the different varieties.
Recently, the ingredient propylene glycol has been in the news. We learned about this ingredient from Dr. Sean O'Keefe in a previous Best Food Facts post. Dr. O'Keefe said proplyene glycol is a colorless liquid that posesses a slight sweet taste. It's not antifreeze. Propylene glycol is classified by the FDA as GRAS, generally regarded as safe. Since propylene glycol is a GRAS compound, it is safe to use in foods.
We had some more questions about propylene glycol, so we reached out to Dr. O'Keefe for more information.
The choice between organic and conventional foods has always been a hot topic for individuals striving to live a healthy lifestyle. One limiting factor for some is the cost of organic food, and Best Food Facts recently received a question on whether organic food is worth the extra cost. We let our experts weigh in. Many of us choose organic foods because they are nutritious and delicious, but whether they're healthier than conventionally-grown foods is a matter of debate. Certainly there's much to explore, so we sought out the professional opinions of several experts to get the whole story.
How do you depict the difference between too much and not enough? We recently received a question asking what contents on a food label are considered unhealthy and in what amounts. Alice Henneman, MS, RDN and Extension Educator, provided some insight.
Are you wondering what the differences are between high fructose corn syrup and sugar? Is agave nectar really better for you? What about honey? We took a dive into the chemistry behind HFCS with Ruth MacDonald, PhD, RD, and Chair of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Iowa State University.
Getting ready to carve pumpkins for Halloween? Think twice about tossing that pile of pumpkin pulp while carving. The orange flesh is more than just the remnants of a spooky jack-o-latern. This viscous material is loaded with nutrients you do not want to throw away!
Are you trying to avoid processed foods? Best Food Facts nutrition adviser Carolyn O'Neil explains why the term 'processed' doesn't necessarily mean 'unhealthy.'
Do you know the difference between jelly and jam? Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD and nutrition advisor for Best Food Facts, gets the answer from a canning expert.

A new study on artificial sweeteners has people wondering whether they should rethink their consumption of the popular products. Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD, says a wealth of data suggests low-calorie sweeteners can be used to help manage calories, which can help with managing weight and diabetes.
Recently, the ingredient carrageenan has been in the news. Some food companies are removing this ingredient from their products. But why?
To find out more about carrageenan, we reached out to Dr. Roger Clemens, Adjunct Professor, Pharmacology & Pharmaceutical Sciences, USC School of Pharmacy.
After a morning of tasting Napa Valley wines and a lunch made more enjoyable with the pairing of wines, the afternoon of the second day of the Best Food Facts TASTE: Unearthing the Art and Science of Food Blogger Tour was dedicated to a deeper appreciation of the science of food and wine.
What a thrill to set out after breakfast for Napa Valley on day two of the Best Food Facts TASTE: Unearthing the Art and Science of Food Blogger Tour. Heralded as one of the best wine-growing regions of the world, Napa Valley is a patchwork of more than 400 premier wineries – some big, some small - each with their own farm philosophy and individual style.

I have been working at Brock Solutions Inc. full-time (less than a year)
ProsVery flexible hours and position responsibilities. You do not have specific tasks assigned to your position and can thus explore different options and ideas that may interest you. The company is also rapidly growing allowing for a great deal of responsibility for relatively junior staff.
ConsCompany culture is too sink or swim. The company structure does not have any real form of middle management, leading to no real guidance for new employees (of which there are many)
Advice to ManagementAdviceNew employees often seem lost and unsure of what their roles are or what to do. More leadership on the lower level is necessary

Jay Electronica - Exhibit A (Transformations)
Artist: Jay Electronica
Producer: Just Blaze
Album: Guitar Center's Fresh Cuts v.3
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 21 votes )
I know what you Booth-heads are thinking; it's about time you featured something from Jay Electronica! Signed to his "spiritual partner," Erykah Badu's Control FreaQ Records, the New Orleans native has built himself quite an underground buzz. Off the brand new Guitar Center's Fresh Cuts v.3, Electronica adapts a Nas-like tone and flow, reminding those who enjoy feeling superior to others that "you can find the Christ where the lepers and the lames at." Just Blaze does his part on the beat, mixing piano keys, rainfall sounds, two audio clips from the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and the intro to an A&E Biography of Ernest Hemingway to create a never-before-heard sonic mélange. If you're glad we've finally featured Jay, watch for more of his work to show up in the Booth over the coming weeks.

Proslooks, aerodynamics, handling Consreliability, power
'89 Corvette Coupe — Great performance, but she is old and has a lot of little issues, like wiring and starting problems. Once I get her running though, she is fast and strong and absolutely stunning! The looks are fabulous and classic, turns heads every time I take her out. Also, the handling, even in the rain, is superb.

1989 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
ProsBest car I have ever driven, That says a lot... ConsNow I wan't a new one...
Highly Recommended For Those Who Love To Drive And Are Mechnically Inclined. Hybrid? — WOW! My only regret is that I did not own one sooner. Fast, fun, still has the looks, 27 MPG with the really nice 6 speed. With only 87K original miles, it still runs really strong. Some minor component failures but there are at least 10 places to buy all the parts you will ever need! Buy a C4, you'll love it! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

1989 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
ProsJust purchased this car. Engine/drivetrain in very good condition. Getting tuneup, new injectors, serp belt, Bilstein shocks, vented brakes & Michelin tires. Car has loads of options. Too many to list here. Biggest plus is that I got it cheap ($3500). ConsCar has been neglected for the past 1-2 years. Has some body damage: front hood clip and wing need replacements, ground skirts need repair, but car will be completely stripped and sanded down to primer and repainted. Needs new interior carpeting. Leather seats are intact but power seat needs some repairs, steering wheel may need replacing, stereo unit (and probably speakers) are toast. Under-hood and under-dash electrical has issues.
'89 Vette - Diamond In The Rough — Although it still needs some work, this is a great car to DRIVE and that's what I plan to do with it; take road trips and put some miles on it - not restore it to show-car quality and just garage it. Really fun to do research and learn about the car, too - almost as fun as driving it. I've obtained the original owners manual (invaluable), The Corvette "Black Book", and have gotten tons of help from online forums. One person put me in touch with the Corvette Museum in KY, where I was able to order the original "build sheet" and "window sticker" for the car, which had NO paperwork, at all. I do what work I can, myself (detailing, interior work) and for the rest of the work (mechanical, electrical, body work painting) I'm having done at a local shop as well as at Corvettes of Auburn, a Corvette specialty shop near Seattle. Have also been obtaining needed parts online - both from parts houses (Ecklers, Mid-America, Corvette Central, etc.) and private parties. Have learned that it pays to shop around. Have joined "Corvette Forum", online, and have gotten some great tips. People are always eager to listen and help! In all, a great Experience! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Great Car — Beautiful look car, still looks the same as when it was delivered. White top & plastic window still like new. Superb acceleration, handeling and braking. Fun to drive.

The Coolest Car I've Driven — My dad's cousin was nice enough to let me take her Corvette for a spin. After having driven a Corvette, I am bumping the Buick Regal from #4 down to #5.

1989 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
ProsRare to see on the road to expect lots of looks. Simple to work on and keep on the road. Parts (reproduction or take off's) easy to come by. Classic '350' under the hood! These are well built automobiles. ConsHigher than normal maintenance schedule on all fluids, age of the car (even in great shape) things still need attention like the headlight motor bushings and brittle plastics that might need to be replaced throughout the car. Radio (Delco Bose) will need work.
Early C4's Are Fun, Cheap, And Great Cars Overall — I was on the hunt for the very best 1989 II could put my hands on. Why a 1989? While I'm in the minority, I LOVE the digital LCD gauges, the 1st generation C4 body, and the classic L98/350 combination. '89's have all of the frame, chassis, and standard Z52 suspension refinements while retaining a the original design introduced in 1983 1/2. A few books mention that the 1989 a good year from a build and quality standard (along with the 95-96) although I love all of them. Mine was purchased with 14,700 miles, top notch condition, garaged kept and all original down to the 089 code Goodyear Gatorback tires. The only thing not original was the battery. So this review is as close as it gets to a brand new '89 Corvette Convertible with 700R4 automatic transmission. First, from the factory, these cars are not about all out speed (especially in 2014) and are all about cruising. In reality, the early C4's restored the Corvette's performance pretty close to that of the pre '71 350HP cars. The TPI gives you an unnatural torque push from idle to 4500 RPM's and then it drops off rather fast. Still, for an around the town cruiser, you are always in the meat of the powerband all of the time making the L98 an entertaining car to drive even if you have faster cars in the driveway. There are plenty of paths to get more out of the factory short block i.e. heads, a cam, an intake, and exhaust can get you back in the thick of the action for a couple thousand bucks. Minor bolt-ons like Headers, exhaust, and 1.6 roller rocker arms will improve the horsepower by 25-30 horsepower. Mine, however, due to its originality will remain stock. The car drives very nice. It feels firm and planted with exceptional road feel. The factory Bilstein shocks and spring rates are well calibrated for sport with a good ride. The seats (mine are base leather seats) suck you in and make you feel like you are part of the car. The rack and pinion steering heavy weighted and just feels nice on the road. Brakes work extremely well but they do not seem to have the initial 'bite' of newer brake systems. This is probably due the factory pad composition. If you are going to do spirited cruising, the convertible is a great option. These ares do require diverse mechanical and electrical abilities. I've repaired the Factory Delco Bose amps and deck unit myself which involved replacing all of the electrolytic capacitors . You'll probably need to perform a bushing replacement on the headlight motors. Fluids changes are VERY important especially the braking and power steering system. Also, be prepared to replace some interior plastics as these parts seem to become brittle with age. Weatherstrip and moldings will eventually require attention too. The more of the stuff you can do yourself the better and all of the information needed to tackle these items are on the internet step by step. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
1989 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe
ProsFor the age of the vehicle, it looks and drives like new. People admire the flowing lines, sound of the engine, and the fact that it is a true American sports car. ConsThis is not a practical family car and maintenance costs can be expensive.
All American Fun! — This is my first Vette, something that I dreamed of since high school. Now that prices have come down, I was able to get into it for less than $5k and it has only 80k miles. It also has the 6-speed manual transmission, selectable ride, leather, targa top, and power everything. The 240 HP along with the incredible torque, highly reactive steering, and low stance is enough to give any driver a thrill. For a 350 V8, this car is getting 20 MPG, better than my wife's little SUV with a 6 cylinder. Primary Use: Commuting to work

Thank You for 5 Years and a Future Possibility
Missiologically Thinking turns five years old this month. I remember where I was sitting when the first post went live and my first tweet was sent announcing it.
I was a podcaster before I was a blogger. From 2006-2010, I did a podcast at my resource site NorthAmericanMissions.org. This site is no longer public.
I considered blogging in 2006 but thought that (and especially Twitter) was only for the narcissistic person who wanted to share what he was eating for dinner, the color of his socks, or how hot his wife was at the moment. Blogging was not for me, but I had a vision for podcasting which lasted 4 years.
Gradually, my thoughts changed. I started blogging and using Twitter at the same time in 2010, feeling limited at what my resource site could offer. Eventually, both my resource site and podcast became consumed by Missiologically Thinking.
I am very thankful for you and for everyone who comes to (or subscribes to) this blog. I consider those who read my blog like honored guests who come to my house. I am truly blessed with each visit. You could have been somewhere else, doing something else. However, you took time out of your busy schedule to give me a few minutes of your time today–time more valuable than gold. I consider this to be something wonderful and say thank you for your blessing.
Thank you for sharing this site with those in your circles of influence. Your endorsement of my work is of much value to me. When you give this site away to others, you are also extending to me an incredible gift as well. You are allowing me into your inner circle with your recommendation.
I love blogging. Lord willing, I plan to continue posting frequently here at jdpayne.org and giving away as much as I can. Stay tuned.
Now, I want to share something else with you. The notion of returning to the mic and podcasting has been on my mind. This is a matter that I've committed to prayer.
Part of being a wise Kingdom steward involves making right decisions regarding the use of time and energy. I do not believe in doing something just to do it. If that something wisely meets a need in the Kingdom, then I want to consider it. If my podcasting (and blogging) efforts will be used by others for their leadership development and gospel advancement, then I want to consider spending some energy in this area. If others out there are doing as good of a job, or better, then there is no reason for me to turn on the mic.
As of now, I think there might be a need for what I have in mind.
Please pray for me. Share your comments below or shoot me a message with your thoughts about me returning to the podcasting realm to talk about mission, innovation, and leadership. My personal email address is firstname.lastname@example.com or find me on Twitter @jd_payne . There's also Facebook (I'm a terrible FB friend.). I look forward to hearing from you!
No Time for the 10/10 Rule
"In fact, if you look at the entirety of the twentieth century, the most important developments in mass, one-to-many communications clock in at the same social innovation rate with an eerie regularity. Call it the 10/10 rule: a decade to build the new platform, and a decade for it to find a mass audience."
These words come from Steven Johnson's Where Good Ideas Come From. Be it AM radio, Betamax, cell phones, personal computers, or GPS, the average time span (last century) from idea to market was 20 years. This rule was challenged in the late twentieth century once the web became mainstream. For example, YouTube crushed the 10/10.
10 years to build; 10 years to sell.
The world refuses to go back. Twenty years is a lot of time. She learned her lesson. Only the fool would follow the 10/10 rule if a new rule governs the new marketplace.
The world's learning shames the Church when it comes to Her mission. Yes, there is still the top secret, covert business operations alive and well in the world. However, the world is quickly learning the value of collaboration, trust, and sharing. I don't think the Church is there yet. We love our turf.
Some of us are motivated by:
- personal claim to fame
- fear of failure
- fear of what others will think
The result? We live like the R&D and marketing departments of last century. We do not share our ideas with others when it comes to gospel advancement. We fear they will steal them, laugh at us, call us stupid, or think we're crazy. We live like we are trying to develop a better hamburger than our competitors.
We try new things in a corner, sit on the findings, tweak them, try again, and sit some more until it is just right to our satisfaction. We're okay with the 10/10 rule. It is safe. It is comfortable. We accomplish the task today and fifteen years later publish the story.
Such is not wise Kingdom stewardship.
We don't have time for 10/10 to govern our efforts. Tell today's stories, later today.
Share with us what is working now. We need to know; we may try it too.
Share with us what is not working now. We may have something to share with you to overcome your barrier.
There are 4 billion people in the world without Jesus–6,800 unreached people groups (including 360 in the United States, 180 in Canada).
There is no time to follow the 10/10 rule. There is no time for desires of grandeur, obtaining recognition, fear of man, or receiving the title of being the one who produced the better hamburger than all other churches combined.
Kill the rule.
The Guy Who Plays Chewbacca
A desire for recognition is not a bad thing. We all find encouragement when recognized for an accomplishment. Paul knew this. Just read Romans 16. He often gave shout-outs on behalf of others.
However, such desire can move from the realm of the healthy into the realm of darkness. We begin to seek recognition for self-exaltation. Pride drives our desire. Me first! Me first! Look at me! Look at what I'm doing!
It is not good when the Kingdom is about me.
I read an article from Time with the headline, "The Guy Who Plays Chewbacca in Star Wars has been Hospitalized for Pneumonia."
While I'm thankful he is expected to make a full recovery, I could not help but wonder about the wording of the headline.
Why not, "Peter Mayhew has been Hospitalized for Pneumonia"?
If I told you about Peter Mayhew, would you have known his claim to fame? Of course not (for most of you).
Now, Chewbacca on the other hand….
I'm guessing since the 70s Mayhew has lived with being known only as the guy who played Chewbacca. I'm also guessing that such has not been a problem.
He starred in a blockbuster trilogy that made history and broke records on numerous levels.
He became wealthy.
Toys were made in his character's image.
Chewy will always be an icon.
Star Wars was so much bigger than one person. Mayhew knew this.
We live in the age of Me–the star. The star teacher. The star physician. The star chef. The star mechanic. And yes, the star minister.
While Kingdom history is filled with known names such as Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David, John, and Peter, it is filled with even more unknown names.
We only know them as:
- the unknowns who planted the Antioch Church (Acts 11:20-21)
- the unknowns who wandered in deserts and caves (Heb 11:38)
- the unknowns who rest under the altar since their martyrdom (Rev 6:9-11)
Just a bunch of unknown people. A bunch of guys who are unknowns to us, but great in the Kingdom.
Are you okay if no one knows your name, but only your service?
The guy who…taught that class.
The gal who…led that group.
The guy who…pastored that church.
The gal who…served that people group.
If we are unworthy servants (Luke 17:10), then we should not be troubled if no one knows our names. It's His Kingdom. We should be satisfied and thankful with being the guy who played Chewbacca. Though others may not know us, He knows our names and wrote them in His book before the foundation of the world (Rev 13:8).
He wrote down our names.
He did not write down, "The guy who…" or "The gal that…"
He wrote down our names. Why can't this be enough for us?
Keep Portland Weird
This past weekend I had the delightful experience of spending time in Portland with some amazing brothers and sisters. I was asked to lead the annual Leadership Connexion and speak that evening at Mission Connexion 2015.
I never would have guessed that 100 church and agency leaders would sit through a 6 hour leadership training and 1000 people would show up on a rainy Friday night for a missions conference in the Pacific Northwest–in Portlandia of all places! Totally weird, in an amazingly good way!
The Lord is doing some amazing things in a corner of our country that few of us probably know about.
If you are in this region and are not connected to Mission Connexion, you should check them out. In addition to numerous things they do throughout the year, they also host this annual event with four plenary sessions and 120 workshops.
If you are part of a mission agency and did not show up this year, then you missed a wonderful opportunity to connect with others. I'm estimating 80 organizations had displays set up at this event. The display hall was a who's who of agencies with headquarters in North America. Definitely catch them next year.
I thought I would share a few fun pics with you in this post and fulfill a promise to the Leadership Connexion participants.
Yes, this is the carpet in the airport. Did you catch last week's tweet, or this article?
So, in Birmingham, my favorite doughnut shop is Heavenly Doughnuts. I found out that Portland has Voodoo Doughnuts. #notintheBiblebelt
Here is a shot of my gracious host, Greg Strannigan, speaking at the Leadership Connexion Training.
Below is founder and Executive Director of Mission Connexion, Bill MacLeod, kicking off Mission Connexion 2015. He's reading a passage, not checking his email.
This is Don and Carol Richardson. Don was also one of the speakers this year. He served in Irian Jaya (Papua New Guinea) and wrote Peace Child and produced a movie by the same title. This was taken in a room with poor lighting. I promise I was not trying to put a halo over his head with the light on the wall.
On a serious note, I promised those attending the leadership training that I would post my slide presentation.
Here it is. Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your participation and interaction. It was an honor to be with you. May the Lord continue to use you in the advancement of the Kingdom!
Guys, if the slogan about keeping Portland weird means standing for Christ in a region of lostness as you did this weekend, then keep it weird!
Of Course, Those Who Can't, Teach.
This is one of the most wonderful statements among our colloquialisms. Though it is often used by smart alecks who cut down others for their lack of experience, the statement reveals the true and right nature of the teacher.
Who can be an expert in all things? The teacher is called to prepare a disparate group for disparate contexts. The same is true for pastors (Eph 4:11-12).
Last year marked my 20th anniversary in vocational ministry. During this time, I have served as a pastor for 15 years, and 14 years as a professor in the Bible college/seminary classroom.
I have had the incredible honor of shepherding and training men and women to serve in a multitude of local church and missionary roles. Upon commissioning from our church or graduating from school, they scattered across North America and the world to rural, urban, and suburban communities. They went to the wealthy, middle-class, and poor. While most of them spoke English as their first language, many did not. They departed to serve in Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, atheistic, and animistic contexts representing numerous countries and scores of people groups.
When it comes to equipping such people, no human being has enough experience to speak from personal experience. No one can share with all of these brothers and sisters what the future holds.
No one can teach Armstong to walk on the moon.
The practitioner of all things does not exist.
Of course, I had one or two people over the years tell me, "You can't do this. You can't do that. You don't have enough experience."
What did I do?
I did it anyway. Which was exactly what I believed God wanted me to do and what other believers confirmed in my life. I taught. I served.
I equipped others with what I had to become more than what I was. This is a purpose of the pastor. This is a purpose of the teacher. This is the only way to train others to reach the 4 billion.
I've found that those who make it their habit of telling others "you can't because you don't have" are often those set on cloning themselves. Such people only know one way of doing things–and expect everyone and every context to get in line with themselves. It's their way or the highway. We only need to look at the last 200 years of Protestant missionary history to see where such colonialistic and paternalistic actions got us.
Don't misunderstand. There is a place for experience. Experience is extremely important. As a professor, my philosophy was always to walk with a foot in the field and a foot in the classroom. There is no substitute for experience.
When it comes to experience, I've learned at least three things after 20 years:
- I need more experience.
- You need more experience.
- We will die before we have enough experience.
Experience can only take the teacher so far. The lack of experience drives one to sellout to the Spirit. The great pastor/teacher recognizes that no human could ever have enough experience to equip a disparate group of Kingdom citizens for the multiplicity of contexts in which they are called to serve.
One of the most liberating, multiplication-oriented, Kingdom expressions: Those who can't, teach!
Sometimes Less is More
It is difficult for us to believe this–that less can be more. Society hypers and supersizes everything. We've always been told that bigger is better. Go big or go home! If it is not over-the-top, then why bother?
We swim in a sea of gluttony.
There is an out-of-this-world economy to live by. Its policy manual reminds us:
- You see that widow there dropping in those two copper coins? Yeah, she put in more than the others (Luke 21:3).
- You mean to tell us that it is not like a sequoia, or an oak, or even a pine, but a mustard seed! (Matt 13:31).
- This is amazing! How can these uneducated commoners be doing what they do? All they know is what that false teacher taught them! (Acts 4:13).
- I would like to write a book about the men who planted the Church in Antioch. What an amazing Church! What were their names again? (Acts 11:20).
- Not many of you were…not many of you were…not many of you were (1 Cor 1:26-28).
Yes, sometimes less is more.
If You're Gonna Play in Texas, You Gotta have a Fiddle in the Band
Do you really?
That's what these guys say.
Understanding context is important to our labors. Peoples are shaped and defined by cultures. While biblical prescriptions are ultimate, contextualization is crucial to what we do.
When the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (John 1:14), God contextualized Himself as never before among a fallen people. This missionary God revealed Himself full of grace and truth in a shockingly clear manner.
Though we'll never be able to contextualize our efforts as perfect as the Son (Gal 4:4), contextualization should guide our efforts as best as possible. By God's grace, the Church should strive to make sure the only stumbling block is the cross of Christ (1 Cor 1:23).
Not our cultural expectations.
Not our traditions.
Not our preferences.
Until Jesus returns, we will need to continue our conversations about contextualization matters. Why? Because contextualization matters!
As long as there are unengaged-unreached peoples, migration, globalization, urbanization, rural communities, living world religions, different languages, and the rise and passing of generations, we are to be about the business of understanding how best to make disciples and teach them to observe all that Jesus commanded (Matt 28:19-20). I address how to understand a people in Discovering Church Planting and Developing a Strategy for Missions. Until you can check out those resources, teach your people to understand the following about those they serve:
Where do they live? How does their geography influence their lives?
What do I know about their demographics?
What do they believe (and practice) about spiritual matters?
What do I know about their history?
What do I know about their culture (in general)?
How well do I know their language?
What are their political views (including views from birth country if they've recently migrated)?
Now that you know. Roll on!
How Far Will We Go to Learn Ongota?
Ongota is one of the world's rarest languages. Only twelve people speak it. I doubt you will ever need to learn it.
But if you needed to for gospel advancement, would you? Would you truly put out the effort and make the sacrifice–for only twelve people?
Last October, Mark Zuckerburg addressed an audience at Tsinghua University in Beijing. He spoke for thirty minutes and answered questions–in Mandarin. He's been studying it for four years, and admitted that his language level is "really terrible." He said he wanted to learn the language because his wife is from a Chinese family. Some folks said such learning also involved a marketing strategy.
Watch a couple of minutes of his talk here. See the response of the audience when a foreigner speaks their language in a "terrible" fashion. Yes, I'm sure some of the reaction had to do with his reputation and the setting. However, much is communicated when we attempt to communicate in someone's heart language.
If Zuckerburg can get to where he is in four years with his motivation, what will you do to learn the language of the people to whom you are called? What are you willing to put off and put out to speak to their hearts?
But I'm staying here, in this English-speaking country.
Great! There are at least 360 unreached people groups in the United States, 180 in Canada, 73 in the United Kingdom, 43 in Australia, and 21 in New Zealand (Strangers Next Door). Pick one. Just one.
Connect with them. At least learn some greetings. A few sentences.
Yes, they need to learn English. But, wow! What does it reveal to them about your love and care, and the Jesus you serve, when they hear you speak to their hearts?
How far are we willing to go to learn Ongota?
Zuckerburg says he did it for his family.
For whom are we willing to learn it? For the One Who revealed His Word in our heart language?
Conjuring the What If Monster
What if.
Two of the most powerful words in the universe. We can use them to strike fear in people's hearts. We can paralyze thousands–maybe millions.
These two words have hindered the advancement of the gospel numerous times over the centuries.
What if we do this and something unpleasant happens?
What if we do this and that occurs?
Though these two words only have the power to conjure up unknown monsters in our imaginations, we certainly believe those creatures exist in reality. Though we know nothing about them, we know they are scary–they just have to be. So…we stop in our tracks.
No movement. No expansion. No multiplication.
What if our church makes such sacrifices for the gospel and that happens to us?
What if we go to the unengaged unreached peoples and that happens to us?
What if I try this and that does not work?
Let's stop practicing the sorcery that conjures this beast.
Yes, but what if God takes us into the valley of the shadow of death and a real monster shows up? You know He has before!
Yes. He may. He sent the seventy-two to the wolves (Luke 10:3). But real monsters are different from imaginary monsters. Imaginary monsters are omnipotent.
If for some reason a monster does show up as the Spirit leads, He will be with you. He created Behemoth (Job 40:15) and Leviathan (Psalm 104:26). He is bigger than any monster. He is our Good Shepherd. He keeps us from fear and provides comfort (Psalm 23:4). He loves us.
What if we believed this? What if we used what if differently?
How about:
We know the Spirit is leading us in this direction. What if we do this and God does that!
Don't Be Like Mike
As a late Gen Xer, my formative years were the late 70s through the early 90s. Yes, I owned parachute pants, a TRS-80 computer, and carried a ghetto blaster on my shoulder. Atari, Commodore 64, and Nintendo were kings when it came to home video games. Michael Jordan was the man on the court.
Some of you remember this Gatorade commercial from 92. Oh, if "I could be like Mike!" Everyone wanted to be him.
Yes, you can learn from his playing style, attitude, and leadership skills. But you can't be like him. I can't be like him. He is unique.
Though society may say that we can be like him:
Sometimes I dream.
That he is me.
Got to see that's how I dream to be….If I could be like Mike.
We know such is impossible. Such is designed to sell salt water with electrolytes.
We know this about the world.
However, even in the Kingdom, we often misplace our focus and start having distracting dreams.
Oh, if I could just teach like him, then everything would be okay.
Wow, I wish I could be like her. That would clarify the matter.
I want his ministry! If I just had his opportunities, then I could make an impact for the Kingdom!
We misplace our focus and lose our faithfulness. We look at others and covet.
Don't misunderstand. Heroes are not bad, even in the Kingdom. They are good as they point to The Hero (see Heb 11). We should respect, honor, and admire individual saints for what the Spirit is doing through them. There is much wisdom in looking to other believers for examples regarding life and doctrine (1 Tim 4:12). Scripture is filled with words and passages exhorting us to find a model to imitate (2 Thes 3:7,9; Heb 13:7). We should even be willing to tell one another to "be imitators of me, as I am of Christ" (1 Cor 11:1, ESV). Yet, this is completely different when we begin to covet the opportunities, abilities, and ministries of others.
While I do not think Peter had an issue of covetousness, he did have a misplaced focus:
When Peter saw Him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!" (John 21:21-22, ESV).
Don't be concerned about what others have–and what you think you lack for Kingdom impact.
Our supposed inadequacies are God's opportunities.
Be who God has called you to be. You are wonderfully, fearfully-made, unique, and placed in the Body in such a way that brings the most delight to your Father. Be original.
Observe others. Learn from others. Follow Jesus. Yes, He has a plan for your hero in reaching the four billion, but what is that to you? You are not him or her.
He has a plan for you in reaching the four billion, too. Stop trying to be like Mike. Don't worry about John. Follow Him with what He has given to you!

A standoff is underway in Texas over construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which would run oil from the Canadian tar sands fields to U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast. In a protest now entering its fourth week, dozens of environmental activists working with local Texas landowners have blocked the pipeline's path with tree sits and other nonviolent protests. We speak to Susan Scott, who owns land where the pipeline will run;...October 15, 2012 | Story
As a direct action blockade of the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline continues in Texas, we look at what could be the first actual tar sands and oil shale strip-mining operation in the United States. Not far from Moab, Utah, the state has already leased land to a Canadian energy development company that recently changed its name to U.S. Oil Sands. The company plans to mine nearly 6,000 acres in an area of unspoiled wilderness that is...October 09, 2012 | Story

Harrisonburg, LouisianaEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
United States > Louisiana > Catahoula Parish > Harrisonburg
Harrisonburg is a village in and the parish seat of Catahoula Parish.
Contents |
In 1818, John Harrison acquired a tract of land, had it surveyed and plotted the township into lots. The name, Harrisonburg, was given this area which was incorporated into a village in 1872; however, records show that the site was selected as the parish seat in 1808. Early settlers began coming in and moving on to the rolling hills of the longleaf yellow pine forest to build their homes. [1]
Harrisonburg was once a trade capital because of its location on the Ouachita River, with easy access to the Mississippi River and New Orleans. The Harrisonburg Road ran through the area as it crossed Louisiana between Mississippi's Natchez Trace and Texas' El Camino Real.
Fort Beauregard, which is located a fourth of a mile outside the village, was a Confederate stronghold during the American Civil War. In 1863, the fort successfully defended Harrisonburg from the attack of four Union gunboats coming from the Black River to the Ouachita River. After four days of bombardment, little damage was done, and the gunboats retired down river.

For more than 23 years, clients have flocked to Judy Foguth's hair salon to update their 'dos with the latest cut, color, and texturizing trends. She and her team of six experienced cosmetologists make over manes with everything from traditional perms and japanese hair straightening to Cinderella double-bonded hair extensions, which last four?six months before turning back into yarn. Proficient in updos, Judy?s team can also style clients preparing for proms, weddings, or other special days, and extend their expertise to fit and style wigs for adults or children suffering from cancer or medical hair loss.
In addition to scissors or clippers, your stylist may pull out a razor. Learn what it does with Groupon?s look.
Shears are often considered the tool of the trade, but stylists carry an oft-forgotten but equally important tool in their arsenal?the straight razor. Deciding which one to use depends on a variety of factors, the texture and density of your hair chief among them. Though shears can create virtually any style from any angle, the result is always a straight, blunt cut?lending the hair definition but potentially making it look thick. A razor, on the other hand, cuts with a single fine blade, forming a softer, feathered appearance more akin to a peacock's majestic bouffant.
For people with fine to medium hair with a fairly smooth texture, this can create a dynamic, tossable style with lots of movement. If you have coarse or very fine hair, however, scissors might still be the better bet, as the razor might end up making it frizzy. Curly hair raises somewhat of a dilemma; though its coarse texture seems to demand shears, the tendency for ringlets to accumulate as a single, thick mass means a razor might be able to reduce the hair's weight and boost its movement and playfulness.
Friends and coworkers Chanin and Pam listen to their clients' dream hairstyle ideas and bring them to fruition. At Chanin's Hair Connection, the duo puts an emphasis on individual attention. Both Chanin and Pam personally schedule each client and take time before each haircut to discuss each client's lifestyle habits. The two stylists can create traditional or on-trend modern using their extensive backgrounds in hairstyling—Chanin alone has more than 20 years of experience—including all-over color, highlights, and lowlights, which add vibrancy and dimension to strands.
Cuticles form an occasionally contested border between skin and nail. Learn how nail technicians can safely get them into good condition with Groupon?s investigation.
No one pays much attention to cuticles until they start causing trouble. Either they grow thick enough to intrude on a uniform manicure or they tear and cause pain. But the clingy strips of skin at the bottom of each nail actually perform some important functions. First, cuticles act as protective barriers that help new keratin cells grow into long, healthy nails instead of short, creepy talons. Second, they help keep bacteria out of the nail bed, where it can cause painful infections.
Though some nail salons offer to trim your cuticles during a manicure, the risk of infection?even with properly sanitized instruments?may outweigh any aesthetic benefit. After all, cuticles will grow back no matter what, so even a temporarily neater line at the base of the nail is unlikely to last for more than a few days. But nail technicians do have ways of fashioning smooth ovals or almond shapes without exposing the nail to dangerous intruders. First, they?ll avoid tearing the skin by making sure it?s as soft and supple as possible. An intensive moisturizer will help, as will a soak in a bowl of warm water. Once the hands are well-conditioned, the tech will begin carefully, gently working with a cuticle stick, first pushing the cuticles back and then, with a tiny circular motion, buffing away any dead skin remnants and dried-on cupcake frosting still clinging to the nail.
Expert nail tech Helena Jones deploys an army of microscopic architects to renovate nails during her specialty mani-pedi services. Not only is she certified by Creative Nail Design, but she's also a certified Shellac master painter. In addition to CND polish options, clients may request other high-end brands in non-gel formulas such as OPI and China Glaze.
The stylists and aestheticians at Bella Bronze Hair Salon and Tanning Studios strive to create a friendly, upbeat environment for clients who drop in for transformative beauty jaunts. Hair gets a time-out as stylists deftly cut or color it, drawing on their continuing education in the latest techniques as they transform coiffures to clients' specifications. A nail technician stains talons with salon-caliber acrylics or OPI gels and other services to keep hands looking their best. The salon's facials and peels rejuvenate all types of skin, which can also darken to a sun-kissed bronze in onsite tanning beds from brands such as Ergoline and Wolff. The SolarForce booth lets guests stay upright while gilding, and VersaSpa spray tanning evades both UV rays and beaches' suit-snatching tidal waves while turning limbs a glowing copper.

After having finished the Princesscastle for my young girl client, i had to do the same bed for her 2 years older brother. He told me, that he likes green, the forest, dinosaurs and jungle……..
so this is my attempte to get everything into this bed he wanted. I used a big package of green leaves (from an internetshop ( the same like the ivy girlanda)) these leaves look very real and are made out of textil material with a litttle thread in the middel so you can give them a bit of a shape, after sewing them onto something.
the dinos are from a little left behind material, i used earlier for a childrens chair. all the side pannels are filled with the same polyester fibre i normaly use for the quilts so they have a little more "body"
i really hope, you all are going to like this project as much as my little client and i do
different prints in cotton and linnen, polyester fibre, embroidery thread, leaves and ivy girlanda from an internetshop in fabric

Charter Communications is going all-digital across the nation, and by Aug. 12, the Duluth-Superior market will follow suit, meaning changes for Twin Ports customers.
Those changes will include more than 200 high-definition channels, 10,000 video on demand options and Internet speeds that will double to 60 Mbps, but first, customers will need to obtain a digital set-box for any TV that doesn't already have one. If they don't, their TVs will lose signal.
"Anybody who has Charter services and they have their cable plugged directly into the wall, those televisions are going to need a set top box on their channels," Kimberly Noetzel, Charter's senior communications manager, said.
Noetzel said many Charter customers are eligible to receive one or more digital boxes at no cost for one or more years depending on their subscription package. After that free period, each additional box will cost customers $6.99 per month.
Stacey Verhel is a Charter customer and said she is excited about the change, as it will benefit her family full of TV lovers.
"I just think it's going to make it a little more interesting to have this extra box in the other room, so when somebody will be yelling, it will be either me my husband or our son, and then we'll just kind of go back and forth," Verhel said. "It's actually going to kind of be fun I think."
Chuck West has been a Charter customer for 10 years and said he also is anticipating the switch.
"I don't have to fight over the main TV. I can have my own TV again now," West said.
However, the eventual cost is throwing some users off. Eyewitness News reached out to Charter customers on Facebook Tuesday to hear their reactions.
Lori Kemper wrote, "I received the letter today regarding the switch. What annoys me is that they are offering only one box free and only for 12 months. Which means that if I get the number of boxes I need to fully utilize the service I am already paying for, my bill will increase substantially."
Michelle Pendell commented, "There is too much extra cost hidden in the offers, so not sure myself if I will be staying with them."
Lori Rilling shared a different opinion.
"I got my letter yesterday, and I think it will be good. If it speeds up my internet, I am all for it. I have a digital DVR.. so I don't think I have to do anything, but if I do, no big deal ..."
Noetzel said Charter is making it convenient for Duluth-Superior customers to get their digital boxes.
"We've expanded our store hours and expanded our staff," Noetzel said. "We also have a direct ship option. If customers don't want to come into the store, they can call us and we can get a box shipped directly to their home at no cost."
Charter is making the same upgrades in other areas on a community by community basis.
