I have been considering some verses in Proverbs today. The phrase "wise in your own conceit" caught my eye in Chapter 26 verses 12 and 16. They say:
12. "Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him."
16. "The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit that seven men can render a reason."
I pulled out my good old "new" Webster's Dictionary which had traveled to Florida to college with my son but now has returned for the summer. The curled edges of the cover revealed that in reality it had been well used…oh joy! Webster defined conceit as: (1)a result of mental activity, (2) individual opinion.
Hmmm. Wise in my own mental activity…wise in my own individual opinion? Too close to home for me. I wondered how many times I had been involved in my own mental activity and valued my own individual opinion. Is it good to be known as a person who "speaks their mind." No. It is good to be known as a person who has the mind of Christ. Is it valuable to be a person with "strong opinions?" According to Proverbs, it is not….when that opinion is the result of one's own individual mental activity. In reality….who cares what I think? We should care what Jesus thinks. And what Jesus thinks is usually not what my mind is "thinking." Love my enemy? Do good to those who despitefully use you? Hmmm. Let each esteem the other better than himself? Arrgggh.
I was confronted today with truth. Truth that I am "wise in my own conceits". I must choose to submit my opinions to the living word. The final Word. The mind of Christ. Peace does not come when our mind is active with the supporting and reinforcement of my own opinion. Peace comes (perfect peace) when my mind is stayed on Christ.
Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep Him (or Her …thank you Jesus!) in perfect peace who's mind is stayed on thee." (KJV)
"Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus" (vs. 5 of Philippians 2). We read in verse 3 of the same chapter a cameo of what that will cause in our own mind. "Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than themselves." It continues in verse 7 …."but made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant…." (KJV)
Life does not always flow well with Scripture. Usually that doubled edged sword cuts us across the grain …leaving frayed edges that show how our own flesh isn't willing to give in easily. But cut us it does. It cuts self right out … if we let it. Like cutting off a rotting section of meat so the rest can be preserved.
I'm so thankful for the Word of God that does not leave me to myself and my own conceited opinions. The hymn "May the Mind of Christ My Savior" is my prayer today.
"May the mind of Christ, my Savior, Live in me from day to day, By His love and power controlling All I do and say.
May the Word of God dwell richly In my heart from hour to hour, So that all may see I triumph Only through His power.
May the peace of God my Father Rule my life in everything, That I may be calm to comfort Sick and sorrowing.
May the love of Jesus fill me As the waters fill the sea; Him exalting, self abasing, This is victory.
May I run the race before me, Strong and brave to face the foe, Looking only unto Jesus As I onward go.
May His beauty rest upon me, As I seek the lost to win, And may they forget the channel, Seeing only Him."

Independent ExpendituresAn independent expenditure is defined in the Maine Election Law (21-A M.R.S.A. § 1019-B) to mean any expenditure for a communication (e.g., palm cards, newspaper or other media advertisements, phone banks, etc.) that expressly advocates the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate. In addition, payments or obligations made to design, produce or disseminate a communication are presumed to be independent expenditures if the communication 1) is disseminated within 21 days before a primary election or within 35 days before the general election, 2) names or depicts a clearly identified candidate, and 3) involves a race in which a Maine Clean Election Act certified candidate is running. Certain expenditures do not constitute independent expenditures:
Anyone who makes independent expenditures aggregating more than $100 per candidate must file an Independent Expenditure Report. For more information about independent expenditures, please see Advice Regarding Independent Expenditures for the 2012 Elections. |

Yuhnke Commentary: Should you worry about Google's new Activity Tool?
PHOENIX - Earlier this week, Google peeled back a layer to reveal a boat load of information that will do one of 2 things to Google users: freak them out, or make them feel better about their private information. This new feature is called the Google Account Activity Tool .
Google collects data about the things you search, the e-mails you send and the places you go using Google Maps. If you didn't know this, please remove the rock and crawl out from underneath. That's Google's business! They have built an empire on advertising that is tailored to individuals. The only way that can do this is by using your info to find ads. There, I said it.
This new tool is a window into that world of recorded data. It's a simple tool that lets you see some of the basic level info that Google has saved about you. For example, in the Gmail section it tells me that over the past month I've sent 145 e-mails and received 1,229. It also breaks down the people I e-mail the most. In the web history section it tells me that I have searched Google 667 times in the past month (wow, that's a lot!) and that 9% of all my searches are image searches.
Basically, it's information overload. I'll admit, it's a bit scary. Google really knows what I'm doing on a daily basis. Heck, if you use Google location services on your phone (which I do) it can even tell you how much time you spend at work and how much time you spend at home. Should we be scared?
No! Not at all. I think information and knowledge are power. It's great to know what Google knows. The best part about this new tool is that under each section there is a settings option that allows you to immediately turn off tracking for that section. You can even delete any previous data that Google has saved. Sure, there are plenty of people who have no idea that they agreed to allow Google to save this info. Hopefully this new tool will open their eyes and give them the opportunity to change those settings.
Embrace the web, love the web and most importantly, understand the web. If you know how it works and what companies are doing, you will be better prepared to make sure your information is as private as you want it to be. And remember, nobody is forcing you to use Google. There's always Yahoo.
Catch me on ABC15 Mornings from 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. Monday through Friday. You can also follow me on Twitter and Facebook .
