Rangers take early 2-0 lead again
By ESPNDallas.com
It took just one batter -- Elvis Andrus at leadoff -- for the Rangers to shoot down any hopes of a perfect game for Detroit's Armando Galarraga, who was a blow call away from one earlier this year.
Andrus singled at the top spot and scored with Ian Kinsler's one-out triple that bounced off the right centerfield wall. Josh Hamilton's sac fly to deep center scored Kinsler.
Like Scott Feldman did the day before, Tommy Hunter takes the mound with a 2-0 lead.

ImaSight Modernizes Digital Radiography with the Launch of Game Changing VisionXpert Software
Press Release
Written by TAC Staff
Thursday, 03 April 2014 00:01
Read : 524 times
Québec, Canada – April 3rd, 2014 – ImaSight™, the chiropractic industry's pioneer in digital x-ray imaging systems, announces the launch of VisionXpert™, its newest, most intuitive software to date. This updated software product moves the modernization of digital radiography forward with comprehensive features and an instinctual user interface, responding once again to industry demands.
"The development of VisionXpert evolved out of our company's core value to not only respond to user feedback, but to aggressively anticipate and satisfy unmet needs with product innovation," says Steve Johnston, Vice President and Co-founder of ImaSight.
"VisionXpert provides the means for doctors to modernize their practices and immediately offer a greatly enhanced level of patient care. This new software creates high-quality, annotated digital x-rays that are useful as illustrative diagnostic tools. Doctors can store for future reference and also share with patients during the same visit or by CD and email."
VisionXpert offers several key features that help chiropractors quickly assess and deliver a patient's medical status, including:
A simple, faster and more robust user interface that operates like a dashboard
Powerful annotation tools that include Cobb's angle and the Gonstead ruler
Diagnostic algorithms designed specifically for chiropractic review
Seamless integration into more EHR systems than any competing product
Full DICOM compliance that supports a fully digital workflow
Tele-diagnostic capability to provide medical services from a distance
VisionXpert's new software features transform any practice into one that is technologically progressive, more efficient and more profitable. ImaSight's commitment to the profession means their product offerings deliver the highest quality images at the lowest price point on the market.
"What sets ImaSight's software apart is our commitment to the ongoing modernization and evolution of digital radiography. Product evolution must be responsive as changes in the chiropractic industry occur," adds Mr. Johnston. "We invest a great deal in software development because we care about the success and growth of the industry. We look forward to seeing the positive impact VisionXpert has on the quality and success of our clients' practices."
ImaSight believes that every patient benefits from seeing visual case references. This aids in patient understanding of health needs and progress over time. According to IAEA, the benefits of digital radiology are enormous. With a filmless radiological department, a doctor can view images on a desktop and report out immediately after the examination.
VisionXpert's enhanced user interface and annotation tools make it much easier for doctors to share, track and measure progress. This deeper "partnering" not only helps the patient better understand their progress, it has the added benefit of increasing the length of stay.
Learn more about ImaSight's comprehensive and intuitive VisionXpert software and other digital x-ray systems by visiting
. Qualified chiropractors can sign up for a one-on-one, interactive demo.
About ImaSight
ImaSight Inc. designs and manufactures innovative digital x-ray systems and software specifically for the chiropractic industry, empowering doctors to increase patient visits through superior communication. Founded in response to the need for digital x-ray systems that delivered hospital-quality images at an affordable price for any size practice, ImaSight offers medical chiropractors the best digital radiography solutions on the market.

EMI, Apple holding joint announcement tomorrow [updated]
EMI will reportedly hold a press event in London on Monday with Apple CEO Steve Jobs as a special guest. In an invite sent to select media today, EMI, which has released the Beatles records since 1962, said it was announcing an "exciting new digital offering" and that there will be a "special live performance" at the event by an unnamed artist or band. The event follows months of speculation that Apple's iTunes Store would be the first to offer music from the Beatles online following an agreement between Apple and the Beatles' Apple Corps record label.
Update: An EMI spokesman said this was not an April Fool's joke.
Update #2: A Reuters source "familiar with the situation" said a Beatles deal would not be announced at the event. "There is no Beatles' announcement," the source said.
Update #3: The Wall Street Journal now reports: "In a major reversal of the music industry's longstanding antipiracy strategy, EMI Group PLC is set to announce Monday that it plans to sell significant amounts of its catalog without anticopying software, according to people familiar with the matter. The London-based music company is to make its announcement in a press conference that will feature Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs. EMI is to sell songs without the software—known as digital rights management, or DRM—through Apple's iTunes Store and possibly through other online outlets, too."

It's not really that big of a deal for me because like I just download stuff and put it on my iPod. Whatever.
What artists are all on EMI?
Posted by LC Angell on April 2, 2007 at 12:00 AM (CDT)
brent, you are part of the problem.
EMI is one of big four record companies. Huge slice of the market.
Posted by LC Angell on April 2, 2007 at 1:57 AM (CDT)
Uh, no Brent isn't part of the problem. The guy who posts songs for download on Limewire is part of the problem. The guy who lets a friend rip copies of all his cds is part of the problem. The guy who purchases music and doesn't share it is part of the solution.

Apple is seriously going to convince the record labels to drop DRM just so they can allow people on your iPhone Book access to listen to what all their contacts are listening to by clicking play?
Posted by LC Angell on April 2, 2007 at 4:57 AM (CDT)
i've not seen anything about this so far… but what would happen to our current drm'd files? will they release a tool to strip the drm from them, or can we download the emi ones again?

Johnson overcomes odds, late rush to win 500
Updated: February 20, 2006, 3:22 PM ETBy Rupen Fofaria | Special to ESPN.com
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Jimmie Johnson raced to make a statement on Sunday. Then he shouted for anyone within earshot to hear just in case his racing hadn't gotten the message across.
"We won the Daytona 500!" he yelled.
Johnson made the winning pass on his teammate, Brian Vickers, on lap 186 and held off charges from a half-dozen drivers over the final 43 miles of what turned out to be a 507.5-mile race. Casey Mears won a spirited battle with fellow Dodge driver Ryan Newman for ...

"Since bringing the Winter Games to Korea last year, we have laid the foundations and the road map for the successful hosting of the Games in accordance with our vision of transforming Gangwon Province into a winter tourism hub in East Asia," said POCOG President Jin Sun Kim.
POCOG's announcements included information on improved venue plans, which are expected to add to the compact nature and festive mood of the Games. "In the past year, the PyeongChang Organizing Committee has been established, a Special Act was approved to support preparation works, the ground for the Wonju-PyeongChang-Gangneung high-speed rail link was broken, and the designing of the competition venues has begun," added President Kim.
Since its election, and following consultation with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Federations (IFs), POCOG made the decision to make some adjustments to the venue masterplan to improve the overall Games experience.
"The adjustments are inevitable in order to deliver the athlete- and Games-oriented concept that we had promised in the bid," said the president.
One of the key changes was to the location of the Opening and Closing Ceremony. The site has moved 2km from the ski jumping venue in the Alpensia ski resort, to a proposed site in Hoenggae. Measuring 80,000 sq. m, the site will be transformed into a festive hub capable of seating 50,000 spectators and including a Medal Plaza, an exhibition hall, traditional food markets and other attractions that are expected to be popular with athletes and tourists. POCOG has also launched a new website as a platform to communicate the progress it is making. Visit http://www.pyeongchang2018.org to access the new site.

After the first episode of season two, I think it could go either way. Obviously, the internet is going to hate it because it's not exactly the same as the first and therefore "ruined", but I'm going to give it a fair shake. It just seems like a little too much exposition in the first episode and I fear the story could get a little too messy and not have a solid core.
Anyone else? Thoughts?

19 Books to Improve Your Environmental IQ
19 Books to Improve Your Environmental IQ
Feb 7, 2010
Over the past decade I have read a number of books concerning environmental matters. These books cover a myriad of interesting topics and are presented for your consideration in no particular order. I have read each and every one of them and reviewed them here on Lunch. So regardless of your political persuasion if you are concerned about the environment how about checking out one or more of these titles? Lots of great reads here!
Not One Drop: Betrayal and Courage In The Wake of The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill
Author Riki Ott was there when it happened. And ever since the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989 she has been fighting the good fight seeking justic for those whose lives were changed forever by this environmental disaster. And Riki Ott is no rank amateur when it comes to these issues. She is a rare combination of commercial salmon "fisherm'am" and PhD marine biologist. As such, she knows what she is talking about. This excellent book will get you up to speed on these issues. You will discover that after more than two decades the cleanup is still not complete in Prince William Sound.

The Last Forest: The Amazon In The Age of Globalization
From high atop our comfortable perches here in the developed world we sit and urge our brothers and sisters in the Third World to preserve for perpetuity the world's remaining rainforests. But is this realistic? Mark London and Brian Kelly spent a considerable amount of time in the jungles of Brazil doing research for their 1983 book "Amazon". Now some 25 years later London and Kelly have returned to the Amazon to report on how this incredibly vast region and its people have fared during those intervening years. London and Kelly found that the Brazilian government is really quite sensitive to environmental issues in the Amazon but they must balance these concerns with the sobering reality that their citizens need to put food on the table and must have jobs to go to. Learn more about these fascinating issues in this highly readable and very informative book.

Green, Inc.: An Environmental Insider Reveals How A Good Cause Has Gone Bad
Are capitalists and corporations the only ones capable of dishonesty and corruption? Well if you know anything at all about human nature you realize that this proposition is preposterous. There are plenty of examples of corrupt government officials and agencies, NGO's and charitable organizations.Christine MacDonald is a journalist who has worked for such prominent newspapers as The Boston Globe, The Los Angeles Times, and the Dallas Morning News. In 2006 MacDonald decided to give up reporting to accept a job as a manager with Conservation International's Global Communications Division. What she learned during her brief stint with this organization would greatly disturb her. Read about what she discovered in "Green, Inc: An Environmental Insider Reveals How A Good Cause Has Gone Bad". What she has to say is a real eye-opener.

Silence Of The Songbirds: How We Are Losing The World's Songbirds and What We Can Do To Save Them
If you love songbirds like I do Then Bridget Stutchbury's 2008 book "Silence of the Songbirds: How We Are Losing The World's Songbirds and What We Can Do To Save Them" should serve as a wake-up call. The evidence that Stutchbury has uncovered clearly indicates that migratory songbirds are disappearing at a frightening rate. By some estimates, we may already have lost almost half of the songbirds that filled the skies only forty years ago. A sobering and very informative read!

What we all can do to help reverse this alarming trend.
Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer
Did you know that In his State of the Union Address last week, President Obama called for more nuclear power plants? The budget proposes $36 billion in loan guarantees to help pay for new plants, adding to $18.5 billion already available. The budget also calls for eliminating funding for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste facility in Nevada, which he promised to close as a candidate. Hardly a position you expect from the most liberal of Democrats. You might want to get up to speed on this topic by reading Dr. Helen Caldicott's 2006 book "Nuclear Power is Not The Answer". If building more nuclear plants is once again on the table for discussion people must be aware of the risks involved. A very timely read!

Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America's Energy Future
Here we are in 2010 and the American people continue to fritter away valuable energy at an alarming rate. Energy is still relative cheap in this country and most folks just don't seem to be willing to curtail their use in any meaningful way. Most people remain blissfully unaware of the high environmental costs we are paying for our self-indulgent ways. Case in point is Jeff Goodell's 2007 book "Big Coal: The Dirty Secret Behind America's Energy Future". I have to chuckle when the President and members of Congress from both parties talk about "clean coal". Let me assure you....there is no such thing. "Big Coal" was a real eye opener for me and I recommend it to all.

"Big Coal's" goal is to keep us comfortable not curious!
The End of Oil: On the Edge of a Perilous New World
Here again most Americans continue to ignore the fact that petroleum is a finite resource that we should be using much more wisely. Estimates of world oil reserves vary but all indications are that were are about to reach peak oil production. This comes at a time when developing nations like China and India have increased their demand for oil dramatically. WIll there be enough to go around? Will there be enough energy for our children and grandchildren? And what are the future political implications of all of this? Paul Roberts explores all of these topics and more in "The End of Oil".

The One Hundred Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health
Were you aware of the fact that the average American now carries a "body burden" of 700 or more synthetic chemicals, including Teflon, plastics, and dozens of pesticides? Did you know that musk fragrances used in detergents and air fresheners are not filtered out by our current water treatment facilities, ending up in our drinking water? And would you be surprised to learn that for the most part industry has absolutely no idea of how various compounds will react with each other in the environment? Randall Fitzgerald explores these and dozens of other fascinating issues in "The One Hundred Year Lie". This was without a doubt one of the most important books that I have read in the past decade and I strongly recommend it to you!

A look at the highly toxic world we have created in just the past century.
The Sixth Extinction: Journeys Among The Lost and Left Behind
"The Sixth Extinction" is a haunting account of the age in which we live. Author Terry Glavin presents very compelling evidence that we are in the midst of a nearly unprecedented, catastrophic vanishing of animals, plants, and human cultures. He argues that the language of environmentalism is inadequate in describing the unraveling of the vast system in which all these extinctions are actually related. As an example, Glavin points out that multinational corporations continue to invade more and more remote areas of this earth with their hybrid fruits and vegetables. As a consequence of this invasion the world is rapidly losing thousands of varieties of plants and a frightening number of species of birds and other wildlife. His case is logical and sobering. Recommended reading.

Hell and High Water: Global Warming--the Solution and the Politics--and What We Should Do
While I am pretty conservative on most fiscal and social issues I tend to part company with Republicans and conservatives on environmental matters. I had a pretty opn mind on the issue of global warming when I began reading extensively about it 6 or 7 years ago. As you will see by reading my review of the 2006 book "Hell and High Water" I had become pretty convinced that there was something to this phenomenon. Author Joseph Romm makes a passionate case that it is essential that we drastically cut our carbon emissions in order to prevent catastrophe. However, with some of the revelations in the recent "ClimateGate" scandal some of Mr. Romm's arguments have been called into question and rightfully so. Still, I think this is a book worth reading.

Strategic Ignorance: Why The Bush Administration Is Recklessly Destroying A Century of Environmental Progress
Carl Pope is the Executive Director of the Sierra Club. As such he definitely has an ax to grind but I must tell you that I was quite impressed by the arguments he puts forward in the 2004 book "Strategic Ignorance". I especially did not care for the Bush administrations proposal to privatize the National Parks. Hands off! A very readable and informative book!

America's Environmental Report Card: Are We Making The Grade?
Here is a book that would serve as a great introduction for someone just beginning to explore environmental issues. Author Harvey Blatt is a geologist by trade. His book "America's Environmental Report Card" focuses on the environmental issues that polls show are most important to Americans today. Blatt covers all of the major issues in clear and easy to understand language. No technical jargon here and the book is supplemented by numerous graphs and illustrations.

Condor: To The Brink and Back--The Life and Times of One Giant Bird
The year was 1984 and the outlook for the California condor was grim. There were only 24 birds left. There were deep divisions among environmentalists about how to attempt to rescue this glorious brid from extinction. In the late 1980s, the federal government made a wrenching decision -- the last remaining wild condors would be caught and taken to a pair of zoos, where they would be encouraged to breed with other captive condors. The good news is that the giant bird with "one wing in the grave" appears to be recovering, The bad news is that the wildlands it needs to survive keep disappearing. The struggle to save this ancient species is just one small facet of the ongoing debate over environmental policy in this country. A very readable, highly informative and quite entertaining book.

Issues abound in the struggle to save the magnificent California condor.
Silent Snow: The Slow Poisoning of the Arctic
Imagine living in one of the remotest places on earth far away from industry, traffic and toxic waste. You live a very rudimentary life relying on primarily on fishing, whale and seal meat for your sustenance. There are very few creature comforts here. You are living at the top of the world in the Arctic Circle. But something has gone terribly wrong. Tons of dangerous chemicals and pesticides from the United States, Europe, and Asia are being carried to the Arctic by northbound winds and waves and amplified in the ocean's food web. Maria Cone is the environmental writer for the Los Angeles Times. She went to the Arctic Circle to investigate just what is going on there. She tells us about it in "Silent Snow". A very disturbing book!

Three Mile Island: A Nuclear Crisis in Historical Persepective
Former Pennsylvania governor Richard Thornburgh was in his first year in office in March 1979 when the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island forced his administration to confront the possible evacuation of thousands of people. The decisions that he and other state and federal officials made in response to this accident are the subject of the 2004 book "Three Mile Island". Author J. Samuel Walker captures the high human drama surrounding the accident, sets it in the context of the heated debate over nuclear power in the seventies, and analyzes the social, technical, and political issues it raised. Although the book can be a bit challenging because of some of the technical jargon I found it was still well worth reading.

A somewhat difficult read but an important research volume.
Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Coal and Oil, Journalists and Activists Have Fueled A Climate Crisis--And What We Can Do To Avert Disaster
Given the revelations of the past few months "Boiling Point" may in the long run prove to be very alarmist and a bit over the top. Still I thought author Russ Gelbspan made his point quite succinctly and convincingly. But at this point one has to wonder about the validity of the data his was citing. Some of the fallout from ClimateGate!

The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook: Community Solutions To A Global Crisis
The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook provides a clear-eyed view of the current energy situation and points toward a sustainable path forward. Greg Pahl examines renewable energy technologies currently available and homes in on strategies that can be adopted by individuals and, especially communities. One fact seems abundantly clear to me. There is no one technology out there capable of acting as the "magic wand" to solve all of our energy problems. Rather, we are going to have to resort to solutions that work best in particular geographic areas. Personally I think this could best be accomplished by creating tax incentives for industry to develop meaningful solutions. As far as I am concerned this book is "must" reading for any citizen who is interested in getting up to speed on these promising new technologies.

Cape Wind: Money, Celebrity, Class, Politics, And The Battle for Our Energy Future On Nantucket Sound
When Jim Gordon set out to build a wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod, he knew some people might object. But there was a lot of merit in creating a privately funded, clean energy source for energy-starved New England, and he felt sure most people would recognize it eventually. Instead, all Hell broke loose. Gordon had unwittingly challenged the privileges of some of America's richest and most politically connected people, and they would fight him tooth and nail, no matter what it cost, and even when it made no sense. Discover just how hypocritical so many of the liberal politicians and media types can be when a "green" energy project is proposed near their backyard. A super book!

Climate of Uncertainty: A Balanced Look at Global Warming and Renewable Energy
A great book for those just beginning to investigate the whole global warming/climate change debate. This is a book that will make you aware of the arguments on both sides of the issue. Likewise, you will discover that whether or not global warming really exists dramatic changes in our lifestyles are on tap. Learn about peak oil production and its ramifications and investigate the pros and cons of the various renewable fuels. A terrific book written in language that even those in high school should be able to understand.

First and Ten: Do Not Steal INTRO Right after I graduated from college, I worked at Meijer until I could find a ministry job. One night, I was working the U-Scan, and a lady was checking out with a Sprite, but she kept looking around in a very unusual way. She then walks up to me and says, "I"m with Loss Prevention, and someone is robbing the store right now. I"m pretending to buy this Sprite, so when I take off running, just cancel the order and take the Sprite back." I"ll confess that I thought this was one of the coolest things I could witness! I just thought it was so cool that we had people in the store disguised as shoppers, but they were really out to catch thieves! After some looking around, she took off running and left the Sprite. Just a couple minutes later, she had two teenage boys by their arms, dragging them through the front of the store. After a while, I was switched to work the front desk, and they brought back the video games and digital camera they tried to steal, and I had to sign the paperwork to return them. After a while, a couple comes up to the desk saying they got a call to come to the store, that their son was caught stealing. So, I called Loss Prevention and they took the parents to the back room. I"m sorry, but that was awesome to watch some thieves get caught like that! Have you ever heard of the GGLF? The Garden Gnome Liberation Front? This is an actual group of people whose goal is to steal gnomes from people"s gardens claiming that the gnomes are being enslaved in gardens. So, if you have a garden gnome, be careful. Some people may feel a little guilty about stealing, but still want to free the gnomes, so there is a prank that is becoming more and more popular. People will take the gnomes and go traveling. They take pictures of the gnomes in various locations and return them with a picture album. There is usually a note talking about how the gnome liked his vacation. This is actually where Travelocity adapted the gnome as their mascot on their commercials. We"re in the 8th part of our series about the 10 Commandments called "First and Ten," and this morning, we"re looking at the command, "You shall not steal," which includes gnomes. Stealing is more of a problem in the world than you may think. It"s more of a problem among Christians than you may think. It"s more of a problem in me than you may think. It"s more of a problem in you than you may think. In 2007, the New England Patriots had a camera confiscated from them. They used the camera to illegally video tape the New York Jets" defensive coach giving signals so that they could steal those signals. This happened just one year after a memo was given to every NFL team reminding them of this rule. Even respected people steal. Some are even proud of it, so proud that they may name themselves after it: The Pittsburg Steelers. I apologize for the corny joke. It"s not even the same word. WAYS WE STEAL Now, I have a couple pet peeves when it comes to stealing, and a part of me couldn"t wait to talk about these things that many people don"t consider stealing when they really are. When I was researching for this sermon though, I became quite convicted myself. I realized that I cannot talk about my pet peeves without talking about some of these other things… things that I have actually been guilty of myself. I want to look at some of the ways that we are found guilty of stealing. First, at the top of the list is GRAND THEFT. According to the US law, this refers to stealing over $400 worth of something. This may refer to robbing a house or stealing a car. These things are usually what we think of when we think of "You shall not steal." Because of how obvious this is, I won"t spend a whole lot of time talking about grand theft. Another kind of theft that many of us are guilty of is copyright theft. There are a lot of misconceptions on copyright laws. If you think this only refers to something with a copyright symbol, it goes beyond that. Anything that is original work is copyrighted. If you have a diary, it is copyrighted, and you own the copyright. You get to control who uses it and to what degree. I hear of so many people who think it"s okay to steal copyrighted material by making a copy of a CD or of a computer program. I have even heard some say, "But it"s Christian music, and how dare you prevent the spreading of God"s message?" The reason is that it"s illegal. It"s stealing. This is no different than robbing someone"s house. If someone is a musician for their job, they are earning money from their CD sales to provide for themselves, their spouse, and their kids. If you are making a copy of a CD for a friend, you are robbing that musician"s family. Here at New Heights, we take precautions for these kinds of things. It is illegal to sing the songs we do on Sunday mornings without copyright permission. It is illegal to have copies of the music without permission. It is illegal to put lyrics on Power Point without permission. We have to pay an annual fee so that we can do these things. Another way we steal is by not fulfilling our obligation to our debts. Romans 13:8 says, "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another." When you buy something with a credit card, you are telling the credit card company that you will pay them back at the end of the month. If you miss a credit card payment, you are stealing, and killing your credit score. Rachel and I don"t use credit cards anymore, but when we did, we never missed a payment. As a result, we have a perfect credit score. That score has allowed us to get car insurance much cheaper, and we are much more likely to be approved for a home loan. When your debts get so high that you need to file for bankruptcy, you are once again stealing. You"re getting out of paying for your debts at the expense of an innocent party. If you can"t pay for it, don"t get it so that you won"t end up stealing from others. Cheating on your taxes is stealing. Statistics say that 25% of Americans cheat on their taxes. That would be about 30 of you in this room. Maybe you think the government is stealing too much from you, and that may be the case, but you are no better than the government if you are stealing from them. Jesus even commanded us to pay our taxes in Mark 12:17, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." We are also commanded to obey the laws our government sets for us as long as it doesn"t ask us to go against Scripture: "Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor." (Romans 13:5-7). Swindling is another form of stealing. How many of you have sold a car and conveniently failed to give your customer all the information they may need for the car? Maybe you left out the fact your windshield wipers don"t work or that there is an oil leak, so you get the money for a car that has perfect windshield wipers and no oil leak. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 gives some harsh words about swindling along with some other sins: "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." Employee theft is a commonly practiced form of stealing. How many of us use company stamps for personal use without paying it back? How many of us spend on-the-clock time goofing off? Your company probably does not have a problem with you taking a bathroom break or telling a quick story about your weekend, but when the average American spends 20% of their work time goofing off, we have a problem. For a 5 day workweek, that is an entire day"s worth of salary you just stole from your company. How many of you like the TV show The Office? It"s one of my favorite shows. A couple weeks ago, they had an episode about workplace ethics. It was quite humorous to watch Steve Carell jump up and down singing, "Let"s get ethical, ethical." They talked about goofing off, and Dwight said he never goofed off during working hours, but Jim times him every time he"s not working, and I think he had 17 minutes. Jim comments that he"s so caught up in timing Dwight that he doesn"t do any work the entire day. What about petty theft? What about when your son or daughter is in the newspaper? You go to the newspaper stand, pay for one, but you take a few copies to give to friends? You just stole from the newspaper causing newspaper prices to rise. What about when you take a soda from the church fridge without paying $0.45? That"s stealing, and causing the $1/week fund to be less beneficial to the youth. What about stealing a towel from a hotel? $100 million per year is stolen from hotels with this kind of stuff, and who pays for that $100 million? Not the Holiday Inn. You do through higher rates. Stealing happens very often at church, and not just with sodas. Malachi 3:8 describes one way we steal from God: "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. But you ask, "How do we rob you?" In tithes and offerings." When you don"t give tithes and offerings, you are stealing from God. Another way we steal at church is by robbing others of their freedoms. The entire chapter of Colossians 2 talks about this. Look at verse 8: "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ." I think this is the worst robbery that happens in the world. Material things are just things, but a person"s relationship with God is eternal. When we tell someone they can"t worship God with rock music because TRADITIONALLY rock music is bad, we are robbing someone the chance to worship God with their heart as it is, not with their heart as others think it should be. When we say a worship service much have a certain order of worship, we rob a church of flexibility for creative and surprising teaching moments and worship moments. When we look down on someone for dressing in a different way at church, we are robbing them the feeling of freedom in Christ because these things are human traditions, not moral issues addressed in Scripture. Let"s not rob people of their freedom in Christ from human traditions and regulations. THE HEART OF STEALING When I hear stories of people who are in desperate need doing immoral things just to survive, my heart goes out to them. When I hear of women prostituting themselves, not because they want to, but because they need to eat the next day, my heart goes out to them and wonders why churches yell, "Sinner!" and does nothing to help them. People robbing God through tithes and offerings have prevented churches from helping out the poor. My heart goes out to the people who steal for their next meal, or because they need something and can"t afford it. Fact is though, only 10% of people who have stolen are in the lower class. 70% of them are middle class. So, although I am concerned about providing for the poor, I"m also concerned about the hearts of people. Sometimes, our hearts are in the wrong place when it comes to what we own. The Bible says it"s okay for us to own things, but, as we will hear in a couple weeks on the 10th Commandment, we are not to covet what others have. God has blessed us so richly, more than you know. A few years ago, I did some mission work in Costa Rica, and look at the poverty there. If you live in a house in America, you are one of the richest people in the world. It"s okay to own what God has blessed you with, but watch where your heart is in materialism. Instead of feeling better by gaining possessions, feel better when you give things away. We have a world in desperate need. 25,000 people die everyday from starvation. Only 3,000 people died in 9/11. Truth is, there is enough food to feed the entire world twice over, but the problem is distribution. Stealing won"t get you happiness for long, but giving to save a life does. 1 John 3:17 says, "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" Here is a kid named Luis that I sponsor for about a dollar a day. He is able to eat and attend school because of that measly payment. He writes me letters, and I write him letters. He is growing as a person and as a Christian. Human hearts feel good about giving and getting, but feeling good about getting only lasts a moment, but feeling good about giving lasts much longer. Your heart will try to trick you though through temptation. It may say, hey, my 4 year old son could pass as 3 to get that free meal. You know, no one will ever find out if I wanted to take that. Finders keepers, losers weepers. I deserve it after all the bad luck I"ve had anyway. I don"t make as much money as they do, but I work just as hard, so I deserve it. The waitress forgot to put my drink on the bill, so it"s her fault. My job owes me anyway. Or, my favorite: God must want to bless me with this! When Adam and Eve stole the fruit from the tree, Adam blamed Eve. How many of us blame someone else when we get caught? Eve blamed Satan. How many of us have even blamed Satan for something that was ultimately our decision? WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT? Whew! So, after all that, raise your hand if you are guilty of breaking the 8th commandment. If your hand is not up, just wait until next week when we talk about lying. As guilty people, there are a few things we can do. First, we can repay. Zacchaeus was a tax collector and overtaxed many people. After just a short conversation with Jesus, guess what Zacchaeus said. ""Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." (Luke 19:8). This may include returning supplies. This may include handing an anonymous check to your company. I used to illegally download and make CDs of music. I decided to break those CDs and throw them away. Some of them I went out and bought, others I didn"t, but I"m very happy with my music collection right now. Second, if you really don"t feel like you have enough money to support yourself, create a budget. Jesus said in Luke 14:28, "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?" Before you go on living life, make sure you know how much you make, how much you spend, and make sure you don"t spend more than you make. If you want a budget sheet, I can give you a copy of the one Rachel and I use, or you can Google "personal budget sheet" and find all kinds of them. Third, be content. My whole purpose in this sermon is not to make you feel guilty, but to change where you find security in your life. How much you have does not give you ultimate security. Jesus said, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." (Matthew 6:19-20) Find your security in God. He is the giver of all good things. God has chosen to bless you with what He"s blessed you. And, as I said, if you live in a home in America, you are better off than most of the world. You can even log on to www.globalrichlist.com and find out what percentage you fall into. A person making just $10,000/year is in the top 13% of the richest people in the world. Someone making $50,000/year is in the top 1% of the richest people in the world. God will give you what you need. Be content with that and don"t be greedy. Jesus said in Luke 12:15, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Aim to be like Paul who said in Philippians 4:11-12, "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." The author Hebrews said, "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."" (Hebrews 13:5). CONCLUSION Lastly, be forgiven. God offers forgiveness for all sins, big ones and small ones. He can forgive you for copying someone"s homework, copying a CD, or even for breaking in someone"s home. It"s ironic that while Jesus was hanging on the cross, two robbers were hanging on crosses next to Him. They both had different attitudes towards things. Luke 23:39-43 describes the story: "One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!" But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."" If we"re all guilty of breaking this 8th commandment, we should be on one of those crosses, just like those two men were. But, which robber are you? Are you going to insult Christ? Are you going to tell Him that His rules are too strict? Are you going to tell Him that He"s not being fair? Are you going to tell Him that you disagree with Him? Or, maybe you"re the other robber. Maybe you admit you have done wrong. Maybe instead of disagreeing with Jesus and thinking the rules are too strict, you rely on grace and forgiveness. The second thief said to Jesus, "Remember me when you come into your kingdom." At the end of your life, do you want Jesus to be insulted by you, or do you want to ask Him to remember you when it comes time to forgive? Jesus had every right to be angry at this thief. I mean, Jesus was hanging on a cross! But, that"s not who Jesus is, nor how He responded to that thief. "Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."" You"re faced with the choice: Do you argue about how strict Jesus is, or do you ask for His forgiveness and then go to sin no more? <pray> If you have not accepted that forgiveness before, and you"re ready to now, come on forward. Forgiveness is the sweetest thing ever. If you want to choose to ask Jesus to remember you rather than insulting Him, and you haven"t asked Him to remember you on that day yet, come forward as we sing a song about our love for Him and our love for others.
