How did they do? How did the teachers interact with the children during this time?
When I ask how the teachers interacted, I am asking of they understood that 3 yr olds might need to move...
What did they say to them when they were drifting? Were they respectful of their need?
"Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen." Ralph Marston
I don't understand. I've worked in preschools for many years and they've always classified preschool children (who were not in Kindergarten) to be Pre-K.
I've worked in RI and MA in preschools.
Does it vary in different states?
They pretty much ignored the children who were drifting...as long as the child stayed sitting.
My son will NOT stay sitting so it's a battle. I'm constantly trying to get them to see that a long circle time is NOT working. Ugh.
So how do they keep the inattentive sitting? Wouldn't a bored child get up and find something better to do? What do you mean by 'battle'? Did they ignore him or not?
2/02, 4/05, 2/07, 11/09, and EDD 12/25/11
They now try to set a timer and have my ds sit for 5 minutes, then he's 'allowed' to go off and play for 5 minutes. Then, he has to sit in circle again, etc etc. If he gets up before 5 min, they keep trying to sit him down.
I don't know how it varies...but how is a 3 yr old 'Pre K'? To me, 'Pre' K is the year before K. Or no?

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of electrical systems and meters designed to measure electrical potential difference and more specifically to instruments designed to interpret potential difference as a relative measure of the effectiveness of sacrifical anodes in protecting structures from corrosion, such structures typically being ships in salt water.
2. Prior Art
In order to protect the hull of a ship from electrochemical corrosion, it is common practice to attach to the hull of the ship a material which has an electrochemical reaction potential more negative than that of the material of which the hull is constructed. In this manner, the material attached to the hull will give off electrons more readily than the hull thereby protecting the hull from corrosion. Such systems are commonly referred to as sacrificial cathodic protection systems. When the sacrificial material is corroded to an extent that it can no longer effectively protect the hull from corrosion, the material is replaced.
The present invention is utilized to detect the point at which the sacrificial anodes should be replaced. This instrument, however, is not limited to use in conjunction with ships.
Corrosion engineers typically use one of the three standard half cell reference voltages when measuring potential difference in corrosion systems. For land-based structures protected by sacrificial anodes, the standard reference is the copper-copper sulfate half cell. For the scientific experimental or laboratory situation, the reference voltage is that of a saturated calomel half cell (calomel is mercurous chloride). The silver-silver chloride cell is the standard reference half cell used for corrosion measurements relating to sea-based installations (such as ships).
Because of the chronology of historical development, all of the prior art instruments have been constructed specifically for use in one of the above three environments. An instrument designed for use in one environment could not conveniently be used in another environment. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an instrument which can be used to measure the relative effectiveness of sacrificial cathodic systems as conveniently in one environment as in either of the others.
All electrical instruments designed to measure potential difference have two terminals. In prior art instruments designed to evaluate the relative effectiveness of a sacrificial anode system, one terminal is attached to one of the three standard reference half cells. In these prior art devices, the reference half cells always had a more positive electrochemical reaction potential than the hull of a ship. Thus the flow of electrons in such devices would be from the hull of the ship through the instrument to the reference half cell. Due to the small surface area of the reference half cell, it would become polarized quite quickly to a level which would interfere with accurate measurements.
The device of the present invention uses as its reference half cell a probe of magnesium alloy AZ63 (magnesium, 6% aluminum, 3% zinc, 0.2% manganese and traces of impurities), which has an electrochemical reaction potential which is more negative than that of the hull, thereby causing the electrons to flow from the half cell through the meter to the hull of the ship. The number of electrons which in the prior art devices would flow to the reference half cell, and polarize it such that accurate measurements could not be made, are now caused to flow to the ship where they are distributed over its much larger surface area. The effect of the electrons on such a large surface area is negligible and does not interfere with the accuracy of readings. This allows readings to be taken for much longer time periods without loss of accuracy as compared with prior art devices.
The other terminal of the present invention is used for making the electrical connection between the meter and the structure being tested, for example the hull of a ship. In the present invention, this terminal terminates in a body of metal having a sharp point and generally shaped like an ice pick so that the body of metal is more readily forced through any layers of paint or of barnacles which may be adhering to the hull and make a good electrical connection with the hull.
The prior art devices used half cells of silver-silver chloride, copper-copper sulfate and calomel (mercurous chloride). Each of those half cells has a brittle exterior layer which is easily shattered upon impact. The half cell used in the present invention is a homogeneous alloy of magnesium, having no brittle exterior layer.
The magnesium alloy also acts as an anode and thus will repel any slight coating of oil which it may receive when immersed in the water of a typical harbor. The devices of the prior art have an electron flow in the opposite direction and will not repel these coatings of oil, which tend to interfere with the accuracy of measurements.
The magnesium alloy half cell may also be cleaned as required by a wire brush similar to that used to clean battery terminals.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent as the description is read in conjunction with the drawings.
The system of the present invention comprises a voltmeter having a full scale sensitivity of 1.6 V.D.C. and a 20,000 ohms per volt movement. The meter is assembled with the indicator needle movement rotated clockwise so that the needle rests at the right hand end of the scales when non-energized. When the negative terminal of the meter is connected to a negative source of current and the positive terminal connected to the positive terminal of the current source, the needle is deflected from right to left across the scales a distance proportional to the voltage of the source of current.
The indicating scales provide left hand zeroes, indicating increasing potential from left to right, thereby providing an instrument which indicates a back electromotive force. This indicates the magnitude of any voltage opposing the potential of electrochemical reaction of the negative terminal preferably made of AZ63 magnesium alloy. Because the magnesium alloy has an electrochemical reaction potential more negative than any anode used to protect the hull of a ship or other structure, the magnesium alloy will not become polarized during the taking of a reading, and in actuality is a self-cleaning probe. The magnesium half cell probe thereby permits longer readings to be taken without loss of accuracy.
The present invention thus provides a system for measuring electrical potential comprised of a voltmeter whose indicator needle is at full scale when non-energized and deflects toward the zero or left hand end when energized. One terminal of the meter is permanently affixed to a mass of magnesium alloy AZ63 of generally cylindrical shape having a diameter of about 5/8 inch and a length of about 41/2" and a weight on the order of 11/2 ounces. The meter has three scales offset with respect to one another, so that the potential detected by the meter can be read with respect to the standard half cell reference desired, either copper-copper sulfate, silver-silver chloride or saturated calomel.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration showing the use of the device of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a detail view of the three calibrated scales placed on the face of the meter used in the system of the present invention.
The system of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises a voltmeter 10 having a positive terminal 12 and a negative terminal 14. Permanently affixed to the negative terminal is a probe 16 of magnesium alloy commonly known as AZ63. This probe is a reference half cell. The voltmeter has a movement of 20,000 ohms per volt, represented by resistor 18. This system is used to measure the relative effectiveness of sacrificial anodes 20 in protecting, from electrochemical corrosion, a structure 22, which is located within an electrolytic medium 24.
By way of example, the electrolytic medium 24 may be sea water. The structure 22 may be an ocean-going cargo vessel in which case the hull of the ship is likely an alloy of steel. It has been common practice to protect the steel hulls of ships by cathodic protection. This protection is achieved by placing anodes 20, of a material having a more negative potential of electrochemical reaction than the material of which the hull of the ship 22 is made, at intervals along the length of the hull. These anodes are normally insulated from direct metallic contact with the hull; the electrical circuit is completed through the fastening bolts (not shown), set in countersunk holes in the anode 20 (which is commonly zinc), or zinc cast on metal straps welded to the hull.
Since the steel hull of the ship 22 and the zinc anodes 20 constitute two dissimilar metals immersed in an electrolytic medium 24, an electrochemical reaction takes place and the anode 20, which has a more negative potential of electrochemical reaction, corrodes more readily than the hull, thereby protecting the steel hull of the ship 22 from corrosion. This electrochemical reaction produces a potential difference between the hull of the ship 22 and the electrolytic medium 24. This potential will be referred to at various times herein as the back E.M.F. As the electrochemical reaction progresses, the anodes 20 corrode and lose their effectiveness, accordingly the electrochemical potential between the hull of the ship 22 and the electrolytic medium 24 decreases. When the back E.M.F. falls below a predetermined level this indicates that the anodes 20 have lost their effectiveness and should be replaced.
To understand the manner in which the system of the present invention indicates the back E.M.F., it is necessary to first examine the structure of the meter 10, more fully illustrated in FIG. 2.
Meter 10 has a body 30 and an indicator needle 32, as well as terminals 12 and 14 and internal resistance 18 previously identified. Needle 32 when non-energized is positionally rotated so as to rest in position A. If the needle should become fully energized it would assume the full deflection position indicated in phantom at position B. If the sacrificial anode system of a ship is new and properly functioning and designed to keep the hull 22 at a potential of -1.0 volt relative to that of the electrolyte, with reference to a silver-silver chloride half cell reference, the meter 10 will indicate 1 volt on the silver-silver chloride scale 40 as indicated at C. It should be noted that the meter of FIG. 2 reads negative volts. The meter simultaneously shows the potential of the hull with respect to the three standard reference half cells on three scales.
The first scale is referred to as the saturated calomel reference scale 34. This scale has a non-energized needle position of 38 and a full deflection point at 36. The non-energized position has a numerical scale indication of about -1.58v and a full deflection numerical reading of about +0.01v. This is the reference scale normally used in a laboratory setting.
The second scale is the silver-silver chloride reference scale 40. This scale has a non-energized needle position of 44 and a full deflection point at 42. The non-energized position has a numerical scale indication of about -1.59v but is calibrated to -1.60v and has a full deflection reading of 0.00v. This is the reference scale normally used when making corrosion readings in a marine environment.
The third scale is the copper-copper sulfate reference scale 46. This scale has a non-energized needle position of 50 and a full deflection point at 48. The non-energized position has a numerical scale indication of about -1.64v and a full deflection reading of about -0.05v. This is the reference scale normally used when making corrosion readings on a land based structure such as a pipeline embedded in the ground.
The operation of the preferred embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 1 may be described in the following manner. The assumption is made that the ship to be protected is equipped with a sacrificial anode cathodic system which maintains the potential of the ship at -1000mv with respect to a silver-silver chloride reference half cell.
The positive terminal of the meter is placed in electrical contact with the hull of the ship, while the magnesium alloy AZ63 which is attached to the negative terminal of the meter is immersed in the same electrolytic solution as the hull of the ship.
When so immersed the magnesium alloy has an electrochemical reaction potential of -1.59v with respect to a silver-silver chloride reference half cell. The non-energized needle will therefore come to rest over the number 1.59 on the silver-silver chloride scale 40. The steel hull is sacrificially controlled to be at -1.000v with respect to the same reference. Therefore the voltmeter 10 will detect the difference in voltage levels, or -0.59 volts. This -0.59 volts will cause a deflection of the needle 32 a distance to the left proportional to -0.59 volts. Since full scale on scale 40 is -1.60 volts, and the non-energized needle 32 is at rest at -1.59 volts, and the scale readings increases from left to right, the needle will come to rest over the number 1.0 on the scale 40, indicating negative one volt. This is calculated as -1.59 volts non-energized needle position minus -0.59 volts sensed, equals -1.0 volts on the scale. A reading of 1.0 on scale 40 indicates that the anodes are fully effective and operating as designed, maintaining the hull at -1.00 volts.
After the sacrificial anode system has been operating for a few years, the anodes 20 will have deteriorated to some extent, and possibly even to the extent that the control system cannot maintain the ship at -1.000v. Suppose the best that can be maintained is a ship hull potential of -0.8v. The meter 10 will now detect the difference between the -1.59v. of the magnesium alloy and the -0.8 volts of the ship hull, or -0.79v. This voltage is detected by the meter causing a deflection of the needle to the left a distance proportional to -0.79 volts. This will produce a reading on scale 40 of -(1.59 - 0.79) or -0.8 volts. It can thus be seen that the reading on scale 40 corresponds to the potential level of the hull of the ship, i.e. back E.M.F.
After a while the anodes 20 will deteriorate and corrode to the point where they can not maintain a ship hull potential below -0.580 volts. The meter 10 will thus detect the difference in potential, between the magnesium and the hull, of -1.59v minus -0.580 or -1.01 volts. The needle will deflect to the left a distance proportional to -1.01 volts and will therefore come to rest at a reading on the scale 40 of -1.59 minus -1.01 or -0.580 volts. This reading is above the acceptable industry absolute minimum of -0.585 volts and indicates that the anodes should be replaced if excessive corrosion of the hull is to be avoided.
The operation of the system is very similar when measuring the effectiveness of anodes protecting structures embedded in land. For example, structure 22 could be a metal pipe, having zinc protective anodes. To measure the effectiveness of the anodes, the positive terminal of the meter is brought into electrical contact with the pipe. The magnesium probe is embedded in the land adjacent to the pipe and soaked with water to insure good electrical conduction. As long as the magnesium has a more negative electrochemical reaction potential than that of the structure being tested for corrosion, the meter will detect the potential difference between the structure and magnesium and the needle will deflect to the left a distance proportional to the voltage difference.
Suppose that the electrochemical reaction potential of the magnesium in a soil electrolyte, with reference to a copper-copper sulfate standard reference half cell, is -1.64 volts. The non-energized position of the needle then reads -1.64 volts on the copper-copper sulfate scale 46. If the cathodic protection had been designed to keep the pipe at a potential of -0.8 volts above the copper-copper sulfate reference cell then the meter will detect the difference of -1.64 minus -0.8 or -0.084 volts. The needle would then defelct to the left a distance proportional to -0.84 volts and come to rest at -1.64 minus -0.84 or -0.8 volts on the copper-copper sulfate scale.
As the anodes corrode, the potential of the pipe rises, the potential difference between the magnesium and pipe therefore increases, resulting in greater leftward deflection of the needle and a corresponding smaller reading on the copper-copper sulfate scale.
The system can similarly be used for taking corrosion readings in the laboratory with respect to a saturated calomel standard reference half cell.
It will be noted that the electrochemical reaction potential of the magnesium was assumed to remain at a fixed level. This is so because the magnesium has a more negative electrochemical reaction potential than the material being tested and therefore as between the tested material (which has a large surface area) and the magnesium alloy the tested material (or its protective anodes) will tend to polarize during the test and not the magnesium alloy. The magnesium alloy is the element from which electrons travel through the meter to the structure being tested, it therefore will not become polarized. The magnesium alloy probe therefore maintains its accuracy for longer periods than devices of the prior art and also maintains accuracy even if it is immersed into oily water and is thus coated with oil during a test. The flow of electrons from the magnesium alloy through the meter to the strucutre tends to keep the magnesium alloy free of coatings of corrosion and debris.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details therein may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

like the guy GLP interviews alot Douglas Dietrich
this guy can tell some serious stories! some of the stuff bizarre some yah ok I wouldn't doubt it...
but hes not in the know
he talks about how the government would summon deep dark evil spirits or entities for war and how other countries did this as well fucked up mind blowing shit
something something like this... the guy talks so fast it was hard to soak it all in..

Powerful Beyond Measure
Hall of Fame football coach Vince Lombardi once stated "The quality of a persons life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavour." Take a look at yourself in the mirror, what you will see is a person who was placed on this earth with a purpose, a purpose with the most self-fulfilling finish line. At the end of the day, the true test in life is what you're willing to sacrifice. The obstacles we run into day-in and day-out are simple tests of character. We can choose the wide road of the majority,give up, and be a quitter or we can look life in the eyes, battle adversity, and take the narrow, rough road with a mentality that nothing is stronger than our desire to achieve greatness.

Exceptions are wonderful things, but I sometimes worry that I throw too many. Consider this example:
Class User {
public function User(user){ // Query database for user data if(!user) throw new ExistenceException('User not found'); }
I'd argue that it makes as much sense to simply return false (or set all user data to false in this case), rather than throwing an exception.
Which do you prefer?

Without affirmation, children can turn to comfort eating.
PARENTS who regularly punish or dismiss their children's anxieties could be setting their kids up for obesity, warns a new study.
That's because kids who fail to learn how to regulate their negative emotions – a skill that can be fostered by affirmative parenting – are more likely to turn to food for comfort, which can eventually lead to obesity.
That's the overarching conclusion of a University of Illinois study, which found a connection between poor parenting skills, defined in the study as "insecure parents", and a child's propensity for consuming junk food.
"The study found that insecure parents were significantly more likely to respond to their children's distress by becoming distressed themselves or dismissing their child's emotion," said lead author Kelly Bost.
"For example, if a child went to a birthday party and was upset because of a friend's comment there, a dismissive parent might tell the child not to be sad, to forget about it. Or the parent might even say: Stop crying and acting like a baby or you're never going over again."
Instead, parents should learn to help their children describe what they're feeling and work on problem-solving strategies with them.
Insecure parenting was also related to "comfort feeding", as well as fewer mealtimes and more screentime, all known factors that have been linked to unhealthy eating habits and childhood obesity.
For the study, 497 parents of toddlers ages two and three were asked to answer 32 questions that gauged the nature of their relationship to the children. Parents were also asked to rate themselves on a scale that measured depression and anxiety.
They then responded to questions about how they handled their children's negative emotions, family mealtimes, and the estimated hours of TV viewing a day.
Meanwhile, a study out of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto released last year also found that preschool children are less likely to be obese if they live in a safe neighbourhood, and within walking distance of parks and retail services. – AFP Relaxnews

3DMark03 image quality and driver optimizations
There are several screenshots below taken from frame 1,799 of 3DMark03's Mother Nature test. These images are fairly low-compression JPEGs, but you can click them to see full-screen versions of the images in lossless PNG format. I've performed a gamma correct 1.1 on the JPEG versions to make things more visible in them. The PNG versions are unaltered.
You'll want to notice several things about the images. The first image, for instance, was produced by the DirectX 9 reference rasterizer. It's a software-only tool that takes hours to produce this single image, which is useful for comparison's sake. The next image comes from the Radeon 9800 Pro, and it looks very similar to the output from the reference rasterizer.
The next two images come from the GeForce FX with two different driver revisions: 43.00, which hasn't been optimized for 3DMark03, and 43.45, which has. The 43.00 image has some corruption on the rock's edge, right beneath the flowing stream. Also, the butterfly's shadow is too large and exhibits artifacts in the 43.00 image. 43.45 corrects these problems, but creates a new problem of its own: the dynamic range on the sky simply isn't what it should be. Somehow, NVIDIA has cut the precision down enough in the process of optimization that the scene doesn't look as it should.
I asked NVIDIA how they'd optimized for 3DMark03 in their newer drivers, but they didn't answer me. Had they simply cut all pixel shader precision to 64 bits in floating point, I wouldn't have objected too strenuously. A case could be made for using 64-bit FP datatypes for this sort of performance test. However, whatever's going on with the sky in the 43.45 drivers looks like it goes well beyond such a reasonable adjustment.

Latest Event Updates
What Do We Deserve?
This is a true story.
A minister of God didn't have anyone to work with, so he asked God to make him available to whatever would be his will. He checked want ads, because he needed some money, and he saw there was a bus driving job made available to him. So he worked as a bus driver in south Chicago. If you know anything about Chicago, it is not south Chicago you want to drive a bus in, but that's where they had the need. He found out later it was because nobody else would stay on the job. So he drove it.
Before a week passed, some thugs got on the bus and didn't pay, they sat in the back, sneered and jeered and mocked him. The next day the same thing happened. The third day it happened again. After it went on for about a week, he decided he didn't have to put up with that. So he decided to call an officer inside the bus and make them pay. He saw one down about a block away and after he got on he told the officer that the fellows back there haven't paid for several days, would you at least make them pay today? And he did, but unfortunately the officer got off the bus. When the door was closed, the bus driver drove a little further and turned a corner, and that was the last thing he remembered. They knocked a couple of teeth out and stole his money, and when he woke up the bus was empty.
He sat there in confusion and disillusionment wondering, "What kind of ministry is this, Lord? I told you I was available and this was the job you opened up?" And he went home, turned the bus in, took the rest of the day off. He stared at the ceiling as he was nursing his wounds, and he thought, "I'm not gonna let them get away with that." So, through an interesting chain of events, they rounded up, with the help of some officers, the very guys and took them to court. All four of them.
The of the hearing he stood before the court, and the judge listened carefully, an decided the fellows were guilty. And they didn't have any money to buy their way out, so they had to spend some time in jail. Suddenly the minister realized, "Here's my chance." He said, "Your honor, may I speak for a moment?" The judge allowed it and the minister said, "I'd like for you to tally up all of the time these fellows together would be spending in jail, and I'd like to go in their behalf." And the judge responded, "Well, that's highly irregular, it has never been done before." And the minister responded, "Oh yes it has, about 2,000 years ago." And then in about 4 minutes he gave them the gospel.
Three of the young men came to know Christ right away and one of them later, after the minister was incarcerated. That fellow was having a ministry with those four guys who heard the message that somebody else wanted to pay the price for their sin. A living testimony for what Christ did for us.
What does it mean to follow Jesus?
I sometimes wonder what the responses would be if I asked the church I preach for, or any other church for that matter what it means to follow Jesus?
Would I get a religious response? Would it be an emotional response? Would it be something that they heard a co-worker say or saw on the internet? Would it be a Biblical response? What would it be?
Would they say it means to be happy? It means we need to be serious? It means to obey? It means . . . ?
I must be honest, I don't understand the Trinity of God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe in the Three-in-One. I believe the Bible accurately reveals this truth to us. But understanding and explaining the reality is hard. But one thing I understand, that the relationship each member of the Trinity has with each is one of joy, love, respect, and unity. They trust each other. They trust each other implicitly.
Given that we are helpless sinners, saved by grace through our faith in Jesus, what does it mean to follow Jesus?
I see it comes from the relationship of Jesus with the Heavenly Father. It comes from the love and unity they have. Jesus always obeyed the Father. It was because of love and trust. Jesus tells us, "If you love me, keep my commandments," (John 14:25).
And the best way to keep Jesus' commands is to do as he does. It is to become like him in character and trust God with all our might, or as Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and all your mind. And love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 33:37 and 39).
Understanding God's Will
As I noted in my last post, I am involved in a new ministry. In July I left the church and outside ministries I was involved with and moved to Forsyth, Missouri and assumed new responsibilities with the Forsyth Christian Church. Let me explain the process, that took a year or so to develop until I began serving with the church I am at now.
As the summer of 2014 began, I started feeling restless about my ministries and the circumstances that provided the opportunities for these various ministry endeavors. I was a bi-vocational minister for several years, working the midnight shift. There are all sorts of problems that go along with working the third shift, some of them are health issues, especially loss of sleep and the retirement that was supposed to be building was a fraction of what was promised (and it didn't change when the recession hit in 08 and 09). The center I volunteered as a spiritual leader for was changing and the each change they made (and most of the changes were scheduling issues) made it harder and harder to help the students there.
My family was seeking more of my attention, aging parents, eager grand kids and more. An injury the year before was still a nagging injury, prohibiting me from some of the physical aspect of ministry. My congregation, I noticed was suffering too. I was unable to be available to help the group grow because of lack of energy and when I had to sleep.
These are the core aspects of what made me begin to see if God had other plans for my life as a minister. I talked with my wife, my children, and some close friends and determined it was time to see where God wants me to go.
Sensing these things, prayer was a given and has been throughout. I searched on Ozark Christian College's and Central Christian College of Bible's websites for churches seeking a preaching/lead minister. After 27 or 28 resumes, 7 or 8 phone interviews, one church called back and wanted to see me in person.
I met with the board and they invited me back to preach and meet and have an interview with the congregation. When they called us to come, we were ecstatic. Our family and friends supported it, and we were certain in our hearts that this is what God wanted.
Been here 3 months and we are moving in God's direction and my previous congregation has now called a new minister and I believe will be moving forward where I was unable to lead them and I am very happy about that.
God, through a long process, made it certain that he wanted me to be the preacher for the congregation I now serve. Praise God.
New Ministry, New Vision
In July I accepted a new ministry. I moved from the church and ministry I was serving at the Lake of the Ozarks, to a ministry with the Forsyth Christian Church.
I could talk about what happened in which God led me away from my previous ministry to this ministry. Let me save that for one of the next posts.
With a change in ministry, location, and even variances in job description, comes new focus, purpose, vision, and goals. Here we have about a 12-year-old congregation whose minister retired and they realize where the direction they need to go. The congregation is mostly older folks, in fact, the town has an average age of 51. They sense the need to reach younger families with children and for several reasons. First, those people need the Lord too. They need to have Jesus offered to them. Second, they realize that young people are the future . . . of anything. They grow up to be the church and the leaders in the church and the outreach for the church. So we need young families and so we have a vision of a children's program with a support program to their families.
They want to bring their music into a contemporary model. Add newer songs and do the music in fresh ways. I know some feel this will draw the younger crowd, and it might, but it is a refreshing that can be a game-changer for all the folks in our church.
And, they are looking forward to a Biblical elder-ship to lead the congregation. Godly, Spirit-filled men leading with love and grace.
We are carrying out the great commission and discipleship development. We are seeking the Spirit's empowering and guidance to fulfill our role and responsibility in the kingdom of God. We will stand faithful and true to Christ and his Word no matter what.
I have a new ministry focus. Pray for me.
Living in Canaan
As a Pastor, I often wonder, how do Christians impact culture and society with the Gospel and faith. More than knowing the Word and understanding the truth, but relating the Gospel of Jesus and the Kingdom of God to the rest of the world.
As the Children of Israel left Egypt, they were heading toward the Promised Land, ancient Palestine, aka, Canaan. The land was filled with pagan people who worshiped false gods like Baal, the moon-god, and Asherah, his female counterpart, Moloch, and others. Their worship involved deviant sexual conduct, sacrifices of children, and many other atrocious practices.
Christians as people of the Book (the Bible), carefully trying to discern the times, it seems appropriate to consider that the church is living in a modern form of ancient Canaan.
The society we are a part of carries out the practices of the ancient pagan religions. It is a very self-centered (narcissistic) rather than god directed society, but the values and practices are not a whole lot different. Sexual deviation is obvious. Just watch anything media based and it's almost impossible to escape some form of sexual expression. Sex is not about pleasing a god, but satisfying the self. Abortion is the modern child sacrifice, and the altar is women's rights. Lying, tolerance, becoming rich, being a celebrity, being important, and more are the norms.
The church in a sense is living in Canaan.
Remember that Israel was told going into Canaan to eradicate the pagans living there. Run them off, destroy them and rid the land of pagan worship. Don't let it be a temptation to you. Our dilemma is not that we are in the promised land, that is in the future when God brings the saved into heaven with him after the return of Christ; we have the God-given responsibility to live among the pagans. Their values and influence are powerful and many Christians have compromised their faith, mixing Christianity with the unholy and ungodly practices of the rest of the world.
How do we live in the world and not be a part of it. We can't separate from them and live on an island and not be an influence to them. We can't change the laws and force them to believe or at least act like Christians. We can however, present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them, living by faith, guided by the Bible and the Holy Spirit, showing Christ's love, fellow-shipping with other believers, and letting God protect our souls while we risk our lives to lead them to Christ.
Too many believers have forsaken the task, holing up in their church buildings and homes, protecting themselves from the influence of the world and making a small almost immeasurable impact for Christ.
The Bible is clear, we are on a mission, a spiritual mission, a war for the souls of people. They are not the enemy, as one preacher (whose name I've now forgotten) I heard a long time ago say, "they are captives of the enemy." The enemy is the devil, Satan himself and he has captured the hearts and souls of the majority of people in the world. For the Christian, it is as if we have moved into Canaan without pushing out the pagans.
The way, is to hold to the truth and be aware of how people accept truth and gain understanding. That is the hard part. The truth is easy. God the Creator loves all people and wants so see them saved (John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:3-6; 2 Peter 3:9), and sent Jesus (John 3:16-17) to save the world through faith in him. And as Peter said, "there is salvation in no other name given among men (Acts 4:12), we have the answer.
Learning how to relate the answer means we need to learn how the modern, spiritual Canaan may relate to and accept the answer. That's the hard answer.
As we are told, preach the truth in season (when it is popular and acceptable) and out of season (when people don't want to hear it and even try to stop the preaching of the Gospel).
Do I have the actual answer to every circumstance? No! But God's Spirit and the teaching and leadership of others who know the truth and have listened to the Spirit can lead into being able to living in Canaan and be obedient to the mission God has called us to in Christ.
God Is/Is not Alive/Dead. Which is it?
My research indicates a troubling trend. My experiences are confirming what I have read. All of it saddens me. The world is moving toward atheism.
Let me share a very concise overview of history. The earliest people believed there was a god or gods. Obviously since God created the world and Adam knew him, the earliest humans were monotheists. As time moved forward, and people moved away from faithfully following God and were perverted in their thinking, many became polytheists, worshiping many gods. There are virtually no atheists in ancient history but the past few hundred years (4-500), atheism has reared its ugly head and is being taught, promoted, even forced on unsuspecting students when they attend secular universities, totally unprepared to keep their faith let alone defend God.
The modern atheist has an agenda, not only to share with people what they don't believe in, but to aggressively force people to accept that there is no God. The movie God's Not Dead vividly portrays this agenda. Several books on the modern atheist debunk the arguments from people like Richard Dawkins. Books like Stealing from God, by Frank Turek; and The End of Reason by Ravi Zaharias.
God can defend himself, but he has revealed himself through creation, "the heavens declare the glory of the Lord," and through the Bible. But, people are influenced through interaction with other people as God has designed, therefore Christians must be, as Peter described, "prepared to offer a defense for their belief" (1 Peter 3:15).
I am getting ready, are you? Are you preparing to offer defense for God?
The Challenges of Belief
"Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God." I learned that verse very early in Vacation Bible School and Church camp. Romans 10:17. Yet, people struggle with belief.
The "word of God is living and active" as Hebrew 4:12 indicates, and faith comes through the word, but not all people who read or study the Bible come to faith in Christ, or even belief in God. One past atheist knew the Bible so well she would use the Bible as a tool against Christians.
A lot of people read the Bible and begin a journey of faith as they search for truth. All their questions and doubts may not be answered as they travel the road to belief, but often, it is so clear to them that what the Bible reveals is true and truth, it is real and vibrant, and they follow the Word of God into belief and salvation.
Others like the atheist I mentioned above can read and study the Bible, experience the faith of loving Christians and yet never believe. It is impossible to believe without the Word, the Bible, but the Word is not the only part of belief. God's Spirit, the Holy Spirit is involved and some people resist him and reject his work and never come to belief.
As a Christian, a believer in Jesus and caring about what Jesus cares about: people lost in sin (Luke 19:10), it is difficult at times to share faith with others. Not fear, but how do I relate to so many different people from so many different circumstances that I may not be able to speak too from experience?
Well, a couple of things are evident. First, a Christian's responsibility is not the conversion of another person, but to be faithful and faithfulness includes sharing Jesus. Second, God through his Spirit is responsible for the work of conversion. He works in their heart and mind and soul and leads them to the point of choice. In other words, we share to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20) and the Spirit does his job. Some believe and some do not.
I was raised by godly, Christian parents and was part of a conservative church, faithful to God and the Word. I accepted Christ and was baptized at 9 1/2. I have known Jesus a long time. It seems simple to me, but it is not simple to all people.
Knowledge is not belief, but it informs belief. Understanding is not belief, but it guides knowledge. Assent, acceptance leads to belief. I pray that you believe in God and Jesus and that your faith is solidly placed in their hands.

Alfonzo Dennard back at practice, but Aaron Dobson still among missing
|11.29.13 at 11:41 am ET
Wide receiver Aaron Dobson, tight end Michael Hoomanawanui and offensive lineman Marcus Cannon were all missing from the start of Patriots practice on Friday, according to reports.
Hoomanwanui has been struggling with a knee injury he first sustained in a loss to the Panthers earlier this month, while Cannon went down with an ankle injury in last week's win over the Broncos and Dobson was slowed by a foot problem he sustained against the Broncos.
One player who was back at practice on Wednesday was cornerback Alfonzo Dennard, who missed practice on Thursday and has dealt with a knee injury he suffered earlier this month.

Another source close to the Kardashian family has come out and said that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their baby "North West".
According to E!, they'll call the baby "Nori" for short.
Earlier this week, rumors were flying that the baby girl had reportedly been named "Kaidence Donda West", after Kanye's late mother.
Until I see the baby's birth certificate, I don't believe anyone. In the video above, Kim even discusses not liking the name North West (around the 2:40 mark).

I was in the market for a 2010-2012 buick lacrosse, red with less than 50k miles for my wife. I saw the one I wanted at Borcherding. 2011 CXS, red, 42,400 miles fully loaded! At a great price. I sent an email in asking if it was still available it was I made an appointment to come see it and drive it, my wife loved it and so did I. Tony and Eric took great care of us while we were there. Eric was very helpful and knowledgable on the car. We were pre-approved and Derek in finance cut our rate in half! So...YES, we are very pleased with the service we recieved thus far. I am quick to criticize but just as quick to praise and so far we have had a first rate experience. Thank you all at Borcherding Buick GMC!

Ground Assult Paint BallRead MoreThe nine outdoor paintball fields at Battle Creek Outdoor Paintball Fields turn players' adventure fantasies into reality. Each has its own terrain, obstacles, and atmosphere to transport competitors into new worlds. In James Town, players can duck into the remains of abandoned buildings to take cover from incoming paint pellets like Jesse James once did, and they can climb the Junkyard's towers of tires or perch atop large spools to take aim at approaching opponents. Players must decide whether to be good or evil in The Fortress, either defending the fortress-like structure's honor or attempting to conquer it and vanquish their opponents. Fantastic narratives aside, those seeking regulation-style play can face off in The Woods and Speedball fields.245 Paterson Plank RoadCarlstadt, NJ US
