What's behind 'vinegar-gate' in Bristol, UK?27 Apr 2016 | 5:20 amFor Harriet Williams, the moment came one day when she was at a park playing with her 18-month-old son. "And a guy turns up with a backpack and starts spraying the weeds at the base of the railings," she recalls, "with no warning, very close to where we were sitting." As soon as Williams got home, she began researching. She found out that the chemical in the spray was likely something called glyphosate — a widely used herbicide. It kills weeds and other unwanted plants. But glyphosate is at the center of a hot debate in Europe at the moment. Last year, the World Health Organization came out with a report concluding that glyphosate is carcinogenic. Williams was terrified to learn that the...
Chernobyl and 'the summer without children'26 Apr 2016 | 11:33 amOn April 26, 1986, a routine test on reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant went horribly wrong. The reactor in Ukraine, in the old Soviet Union, went into meltdown. It became the world's worst peacetime nuclear disaster. A power surge during the test led to a rupture and a series of steam explosions. There was a massive leak of radiation, leading to fallout eventually landing all across Europe. Dozens died in the struggle to contain the disaster. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated. One family was lucky. "My grandfather was a general in the Soviet army," recalls writer and journalist Natalia Antonova. "From what I understand, we found out sooner than the general public,...
30 years after Chernobyl, these Ukrainian babushkas are still living on toxic land24 Apr 2016 | 8:18 pmEven if you weren't alive back then, you almost certainly know what happened 30 years ago this week — April 26, 1986. An explosion that day at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine triggered a partial meltdown. Without a containment shell around the reactor, a cloud of radioactive material spewed into the air from the plant and spread out over the western Soviet Union and central Europe. News was slow to emerge from the tightly-controlled country, but before long it became clear that what was unfolding was the worst civilian nuclear accident in history. Thirty plant and cleanup workers were killed during or soon after the accident. About 350,000 people were evacuated from the area around...
Hope for the climate? Countries are lining up to sign the Paris deal, and it could go into effect early.21 Apr 2016 | 2:37 pmUsually a parade of global figures lining up at the UN to sign a document is pretty much just for show — a lot of words and gestures for questionable real-world impact. But Friday's signing ceremony for the new Paris climate agreement could be something different. Of the 195 countries that approved the landmark deal to fight climate change back in December, 160 or so will sign the agreement on Friday, the first day that it's open for signing. That's a record number for a UN agreement, by far. And it's a sign that the momentum from the Paris meeting hasn't faded in the months since, that despite the swirl of more immediately pressing events, there's still a very strong global consensus for action on...
She loved to run. In India, she couldn't. It was unhealthy.21 Apr 2016 | 1:55 pmI moved to New Delhi in the fall of 2013 and my body reacted almost immediately to the city's air quality, which is among the worst in the world. I developed a perpetually a stuffy nose. When I first blew my nose into a tissue, I realized with horror that my boogers had turned black, a fact I came to accept and even forget over time. But it wasn't easy to forget just how polluted the city's air really is. I was reminded of it every time I set foot outside. The haze was so thick that time of year, that people drove with their fog lights on till mid-morning when the sun eventually burned through the haze. Flight delays were and still are common during the winter. The air smelled of smoke from brick...

Wow, Larry Wilmore Really Flopped at the White House Correspondents' Dinner30 Apr 2016 | 10:41 pmYes, it's never easy to follow the president. But boy did Larry Wilmore miss the mark on Saturday night at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner. The vast majority of his jokes fell flat in a room that seemed to be groaning more often than smiling. Beyond a joke here and there, the whole monologue was really boring. A full 10 minutes could have easily been chopped from the whole thing and nothing would have changed. It ultimately seems Wilmore wanted to pull a Stephen Colbert, speaking truth to power. Problem is, he never really found his rhythm. Part of the problem may have been that the obviously cool reception that his jokes received seems to have knocked him off his game a bit. "You guys are...
Watch Obama Ask Boehner for Advice as he Prepares for Post-White House Life30 Apr 2016 | 9:34 pmOne of the funniest moments in a White House Correspondents' Dinner that was decidedly short on laughs was a pre-taped video that President Obama showed to joke about his decision to stay in Washington, D.C. after he leaves office. The video starts out with reporters joking about the president's decision. "---- you, Chuck Tood," Obama says. Vice President Joe Biden makes a cameo as a melancholic Obama lays down on his couch wondering what he should do with his life. And there's even room for a birth certificate joke in a little scene that takes place at a (very fancy) DMV. The highlight of the video though is when Obama suddenly realizes who could help him out. "I know who I need to talk to," the...
Obama's Best Jokes From His Last White House Correspondents' Dinner30 Apr 2016 | 9:04 pmPresident Obama did not hide his joy that Saturday marked his last White House Correspondents' Dinner. For his final foray into stand-up comedian land at the Washington Hilton, Obama delivered a relatively solid performance. It was far from his best but the president still managed to utter a few funny lines. And no one was spared, including Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Like the best comedians, Obama also turned the spotlight on himself, making several jokes about his post-White House life and his age. Without further ado, Obama's best jokes of the night: <ul> <li>"I was running on CPT, which stands for jokes that white people should not make."</li> <li>"Eight years ago I said it was time to change the tone of...</li></ul>
Baghdad in State of Emergency After Protesters Storm Parliament30 Apr 2016 | 1:38 pmHundreds of protesters burst through Baghdad's Green Zone and parliament building on Saturday demanding government reform and escalating a political crisis that has been brewing in the country for months. The protests appear to have been sparked by a fiery speech from Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who has been calling on his followers to push for reform in the government to tackle corruption. Sadr has been speaking up against Iraqi leaders for months and has been warning that his supporters would enter the Green Zone if the government failed to move forward with political reform efforts. In a televised speech, Sadr said he was "waiting for the great popular uprising and the major revolution to stop the...
Black Teenage Boy Charged With Possession of Child Porn for Sexting With White Girlfriend30 Apr 2016 | 11:18 amSexting may be common among teenagers but for one 17-year-old black boy from Louisiana it could be an act that will haunt him for the rest of his life. His family says race clearly played a role in why Levar Allen, a three-sport high school athlete, was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile and possession of child pornography after sexting with his 16-year-old white girlfriend. "A little girl sent him a video, she was 16. He sent her a video and he got charged," Allen's mother, Chasity Washington, said. She says race has played a factor in the arrest. "I think because she's white, the parents got upset that she's been doing what she's been doing," she said. Washington is hardly...

Universal Apps on XBox One with Chris Gomez27 Apr 2016 | 9:00 pmUniversal Apps are becoming more universal - arriving on the XBox One! Carl and Richard talk to Chris Gomez about the announcements at the Microsoft Build event around building software for the XBox One. Now, any developer can write code using the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) approach, which means you can code in C#, Javascript... pretty much any language you want in the CLR space. Chris explains that while you have limited access to all the resources in the XBox One, the UWP approach is a starting point to building bigger things if that's what you want to do - the XBox team is watching!
Fixing the Web with Douglas Crockford26 Apr 2016 | 9:00 pmThe Web is broken - time to fix it! While at DevIntersection in Orlando, Carl and Richard sat down with Douglas Crockford to talk about the problems the web has and what can be done about them. Doug rightfully focuses on how the web was never intended to do what its doing - it was meant for sharing academic papers, and has far outgrown that initial requirement. Security is the key, and security with the least amount of trust is best. How do we build something inherently secure and still easy to work with?
InfoSec for Developers with Kim Carter25 Apr 2016 | 9:00 pmWhat do developers need to know about information security? Carl and Richard talk to Kim Carter about his experiences helping developers secure their web sites. Kim has written a series of books on the subject to help get developers thinking about infosec as they develop, rather than try and cram security on at the end of a project. All kinds of great tools in the show links, including OWASP ZAP, which does fast penetration testing on your site - you can incorporate it into your build process so that your code is security tested as you're building it! InfoSec isn't optional, you need to make it part of your routine development process!
Supersonic Aircraft Geek Out20 Apr 2016 | 9:00 pmConcorde is gone, what will replace it? Time for a Geek Out! Richard talks about the aeronautical evolution that led to supersonic airliners, Concorde being the big one that flew from 1976 to 2003. What went wrong? Why did it stop flying? Besides the technological challenges, it all comes down to the sonic boom and laws that make it illegal to fly a civilian aircraft above the speed of sound. Richard talks about how technology has advanced enough now that aircraft can mitigate their sonic boom with specific shapes and flying capabilities. However, in the end, supersonics only get you there faster, typically for more money. Would you pay for to go faster?

Jon dug into the challenges of making production IoT stuff, especially going to China to get things made at scale. Automation is taking hold in that space, soon where it's done won't matter all that much. The conversation also explores additive and subtractive manufacturing with CNC milling machines, laser sintering and more. Lots of cool hardware ideas!

Chef Compliance with Jessica DeVita26 Apr 2016 | 9:00 pmHow do you know your systems are compliant with security and industry standards like CIS, SOX, HIIPA, PCI and so on? Chef evangelist Jessica DeVita talks to Richard about the free Chef compliance tools that can help you understand where your systems are exposed and help get you into a compliant state - and stay there. If your only check of compliance is an audit, things are going to be rough. Audits are just spotchecks, not comprehensive evaluations, and it takes time to get things into order. Having a system that can continuously check compliance state, even as code is being written, makes life much, much simpler. Check it out!
The Infrastructure Release Pipeline with Steve Murawski and Michael Greene19 Apr 2016 | 9:00 pmHow do you manage your infrastructure like its code? Enter the release pipeline! Richard chats with Steven Murawski and Michael Greene about their recent white paper on the Release Pipeline Model. The conversation digs into the stages of developing and management configuration-as-code, including source code management, building, testing and deploying. There's a ton of tooling around each of these aspects, what you choose is very personal - and it makes sense to use what you already have onsite. Michael and Steven also dig into crisis management - taking advantage of the pipeline to respond more effectively when there are problems, and to help make sure those problems never happen again!
Ransomware Resistance with Paula Januskiewicz12 Apr 2016 | 9:00 pmRansomware is in the news, but do you know what to do about it? Richard talks to Paula Januskiewicz about how ransomware works and what you can do to prevent an attack, and how to clean up after one. An awful lot of the power of ransomware is blunted by having a good backup strategy - one that you actually know how to restore from. Paula also talks about running your workstations in a whitelist configuration, where only a known good list of software can run. There are tools built into Windows that can help you there. At the same time, having good communication between IT and users helps - sometimes the reason a computer is slow is that it is encrypting everything, and reporting that to IT gives you a chance...
DevOps in 2015 with Gene Kim5 Apr 2016 | 9:00 pmWhat's the state of DevOps coming into 2016? Richard chats with Gene Kim, one of the godfathers of the DevOps movement, about what he's seen over the past year and how DevOps is evolving into "the way we build and operate software." Gene talks about getting management more involved in the DevOps process, recognizing that when software is built and operated in a rapidly iterating model, the way that software is sold and utilized changes as well. More and more Gene can see that DevOps is not just about the unicorn companies, but about what every business can do to build and operate better software. Have a listen!
SQL Server 2016 with Brent Ozar29 Mar 2016 | 9:00 pmWhat is coming in SQL Server 2016? Richard chats with Brent Ozar about his thoughts on the upcoming version of SQL Server. The conversation digs into how the cloud is impacting SQL Server - features like Query Store were available first in the cloud are now showing up in this new on-premise edition! Speaking of Query Store, who wouldn't want a record of query plans so you can find out exactly why a query in production took a long time? Brent discusses other features including the stretch table to azure, always encrypted, row level security... the list goes on! The question is, when do we get this great version?

Live In Concert from NPR's All Songs Considered
Chicano Batman, Live In Concert, SXSW 20165 Apr 2016 | 11:49 amSouthern California's Chicano Batman sent waves of velvet-sounding Chicano soul out over the audience at Stubb's — think 1970s-era guitar and organ funk played by a band outfitted in quicenera tuxedos. When the band shifted into a high energy cumbia I saw spontaneous dancing breaking out on the dirt floor of the outdoor venue.
Anderson .Paak, Live From NPR Music And SXSW 201631 Mar 2016 | 11:05 amWithout a doubt, Anderson .Paak is the new "it" guy of that place where R&B and hip-hop overlap. It sort of happened overnight, and we can kind of credit Dr. Dre, who gave .Paak permission to leave his fingerprints all over Dre's long-awaited return to music, 2015's Compton. But the palpable, feverish excitement in the breezy night air at Stubb's during NPR Music's SXSW showcase in the moments leading up to .Paak's set was all his own.

Pershing Square, Plastic Sculptures, William Wegman26 Apr 2016 | 2:30 pmFour finalists present schemes for redesigning Pershing Square, and their approaches will be a litmus test for competing views on what makes public space work -- lots of programming or strong design?

New Media Expo Under New Management26 Apr 2016 | 11:43 amNew Media Expo (NMX), the podcasting/blogging conference usually held annually in Las Vegas, has been a big draw for new media creators and industry players for years. But NMX has been conspicuously absent from the new-media landscape in 2016. Late last year, NMX founder Rick Calvert sent out a cryptic message to NMX attendees, explaining why they hadn't yet received their promised virtual ticket content. Since then, there'd been little contact from anyone at NMX. That silence ended today with a message posted to the NMX website, announcing the conference is officially under new management: Dear NMX Community, I am deeply sorry. Last year was a difficult year, both for the NMX event and for me personally....

The podcast backlog - Ancient History Podcasts18 Apr 2016 | 10:00 amThe last podcast review I wrote is about two and a half years old. In the mean time lots of new podcasts have been added to the collection and many worth mentioning - where to start?Let's start with a collection. Some two years ago I embarked on a quest for sources on ancient history, attempting to fill the gaps and dig up the roots of the more familiar eras. And not to forget as a continuation of my everlasting search for sources on my favorite ancient civilization: The Indus Valley Civ. No luck, there, but on the whole, a lot was found.The History of Europe Podcast (feed)Unfortunately podfaded, but the chapters can still be found in the feed.

Lost in space - Anne is a Man tentatively renewed28 Feb 2016 | 10:00 amI have just changed the title of this blog. No more podcast reviews you may ask - well you have not had any in two years, so what good would be an answer any which way? If I am to get back to posting, podcast reviews are likely to be among them. And recipes and I think I might write about language learning.First of all I changed the title to take away the pretense that this is still and could ever be a hub for podcast finding. That is probably not going to be the case. And all those podcasters that were hoping I'd plug their work, should seek exposure elsewhere.Yet, the blog still exists and I frequently feel the urge to write - something, anything. And so, the change of title is first of all an opening of...
Only a slightly different perspective - History of Oil15 Oct 2013 | 9:00 amWe have gone through this history in quite a number of podcasts: Sarajevo 1914, Pearl Harbor 1941 and even the fall of Mossadegh 1953, haven't we?

(feed)Any new history podcast should reveal a fact about history that was not that clear until now. A History of Oil does that even where you hardly expect to be surprised. Take for instance Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi Invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. We already knew the Germans over-stretched themselves. We knew they had fuel shortages. We knew they had to capture the oil fields on the Caspian Sea around Baku...
The history of English and the history of the alphabet15 Sep 2013 | 12:00 pmRecently I have been dedicating all my listening time to one podcaster, Kevin Stroud, who offers two series on the web.

Monocle - Saeed Ahmed26 Aug 2013 | 11:00 amHere is another guest-post written by Saeed Ahmed: Monocle is a relatively new magazine (launched 2007) that takes great pride in it's real-paper format, putting tremendous thought into the look, feel and emotional appeal of the visual and tactile aspects of its product. However, don't let this retro-focus fool you. Since 2008, Monocle has been "airing" a around the clock radio schedule. I recently discovered this and after sampling a couple of its program offerings, decided to immerse myself in the Monocle experience for a week, which included listening its podcasts and watching videos posted on the Monocle website.

How to build a bank with no branches with Card.com's Ben Katz22 Apr 2016 | 3:36 amWall Street has been shedding Main Street bank branches of late and it doesn't appear like it's letting up any time soon. As more financial transactions occur over the web, the purpose of a bank branch is changing and for many banks, they just can't make them profitable anymore. Upstarts smell an opportunity and they're stepping in by creating branch-light banking alternatives. Ben Katz, founder and CEO of Card.com, joins us on the Tradestreaming Podcast. His firm provides most basic banking functions without any physical branched. When you talk to Ben, he likes to make a simple analogy that drives home how his firm and others are forming an alternative to a bank branch:
Thiel Capital's Phin Upham on investing in tomorrow's financial giants8 Apr 2016 | 4:58 amNext up, we've got Phin Upham. Phin is a principal at Thiel Capital, famed-fintech investor Peter Thiel's investment office. Peter is a renown entrepreneur (founded PayPal and Palantir) and an equally talented investor. Phin's experience helping to deploy Peter's capital and his own has given him a ringside seat into identifying, investing, and growing some of today's top fintech firms (names that include SoFi, OnDeck, and Avant). Phin's perspective on his own and Thiel's investment mandate is really interesting. Also, I was blown away about the student loan market and the opportunity it provides for new technology-driven entrants. We discuss whether many of the unicorns he's invested in...

Jan Bellens: Trends in Asian Fintech4 Mar 2016 | 5:06 amJan Bellens is banking and capital markets leader for EY in emerging markets and Asia Pacific. He's tasked with a role at his firm that is part analyst, business consultant, and trend watcher. He speaks to his partners, teams, and financial services clients in emerging markets, with his ear to the ground to best understand how EY can help and serve its clients. It's this high-level and global perspective that I was most interested in chatting with Jan. Jan sees an Asian phenomenon — born out in his firm's Global Consumer Bank Survey. In some of the asia markets like Indonesia and China, he and his team see strong eagerness from consumers and businesses to engage with new financial firms, models,...
Marketplace lending meets retirement investing with Income&19 Feb 2016 | 2:29 amOpen any news site and you'll read how the Marketplace Lending sector is ramping. US companies like Lending Club and Prosper are underwriting billions of dollars every quarter now. But when you read stories about the industry, the media frequently focuses on borrowers. Typically, on online lending platforms like these, these are relatively high quality borrowers borrowing money to consolidate their credit card debt, pay for weddings, college for their kids, and to make home improvements. But, because these are marketplaces, for everyone who borrows, there's a lender. An investor on the other side. Who are the investors on these platforms? A big percentage of the money coming in is from professionals...

Five Statistical Realities of the 2016 Presidential Race12 Apr 2016 | 2:56 pmThe numbers don't lie. Sure, they might change often or dramatically depending on unforeseen circumstances, but for the most part we can use big data and simple statistics to predict the most likely outcome of the presidential primary elections. Stephen does not profess the ability to prophesy by any means, but in this episode he lays out the hard numbers and the brass tax regarding what to expect from the remainder of the primary season.

Derailed Trains of Thought
Episode 65 - Of the World and Everything in It20 Apr 2016 | 10:57 amWorldview. It's one of those terms thrown around by people who like to talk about big ideas. So, of course, Tim and Nick have decided to talk about it. Every story presents a way of looking at the world. How can a reader/viewer navigate these different points of view? How can a writer use an awareness of worldview to sharpen his own work? Listen in and see if Tim and Nick can help you out.Then, in a new What If? section, our fearless hosts imagine what kind of stories famous philosophers, politicians, and scientists would write as an expression of their worldview. (It's a lot more fun than it sounds.)So, come listen in on this 65th episode of your premiere podcast on storytelling. Assuming you find podcasts...
Episode 64 - Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink8 Mar 2016 | 7:56 am"Show, don't tell." It's a rule pounded into storytellers, and for good reason. Many great stories are marked by the raised eyebrow and the evocative phrase, the shimmer of recognition in the hero's eyes and the tantalizing hint of a dark past. In other words, what a character (or creator)�implies can speak volumes. And that, not to put too fine a point on it, is Tim and Nick's topic this episode.In the second half they review some of their recent reads, including books from well-known franchises/series.So, if you happen to find yourself with a bit of extra time, perhaps you'd enjoy tuning your auditory organs to the sound of locomotive synaptic process violently running off its tracks. (Wink, wink, know...
Episode 63 - Orchestrating a Plot29 Jan 2016 | 11:18 amMusic is called the universal language; therefore, it would be remiss to discuss storytelling without discussing the way music undergirds so much of modern multimedia art. And Nick and Tim would never dare be remiss.SO! This is an episode about how music guides, lifts, and imbues story with meaning and power. Because we like music. And so do you.But after so much music, we head into "It Came from the Interwebs!" for a break. For, surely, there's no music on the Internet...or is there?Settle in, tune your eardrums, and enjoy episode 63 of your premier podcast on storytelling, Derailed Trains of Thought.DownloadShow NotesLoading the player ...
Side Track 7 - The Force Awakens21 Dec 2015 | 11:59 amIf you've ever listened to Derailed Trains of Thought, you know that Tim and Nick mention Star Wars almost every episode. �If you're not living in a cave, you know that a new Star Wars�movie just came out.I'll give you three guesses what this Side Track discussion is about. The first two guesses don't count.Joining Nick and Tim is Weekly Hijack contributor and fellow Star Wars fan Zach Hayden.SPOILER WARNING! Do NOT listen to this if you haven't seen the movie.DownloadLoading the player ...
Episode 62 - 'Tis the Setting17 Dec 2015 | 9:40 amIt's that time of year, the time we've been waiting for for months. Yep, that's right, it's finally Christmas! (Also: Star Wars opening!)As you settle down to watch your favorite Christmas movie (also: space opera), one thing you'll notice right away--the setting. You know, the lights and carols and snow and roast beast. (Also: the cool spaceships and laser-swords and aliens and mysterious masked villains.) This episode Tim and Nick examine the various ways setting affects story, both consciously and unconsciously.They follow up with a lightning round review of recent movies and TV shows, and finally end with some observations on how a certain science-fiction pop culture touchstone has infected everything...

Five Questions- Retirement Funds, Savings Bonds and Budgeting18 Apr 2016 | 3:00 amThe guys tackle five great listener questions today. For full answers listen to the episode below. Question One Longtime listener, quick question. I currently put about 25% of my income toward my betterment retirement fund. I rent now but eventually would like to buy a house within the next 10 years. Should I go 15% retirement and 10% home? I would create a new betterment account rather than keeping all in one. Let me know what you'd do. If you are able to save 25% of your income then you are definitely on the right track! The split of the savings really depends on your situation, the percent is arbitrary. What is really important is if x% is enough to reach your retirement and other goals. Taking into...

Everyday Thanks with Daniella Whyte
Pride, John Henry Jowett, and Psalm 136:3 (Everyday Thanks #720)15 Apr 2016 | 12:00 amOur thankful thought for today is this: Gratitude is the antithesis to pride. You will never find a proud person who is also a grateful person. Gratitude forces us to be humble because it helps us to realize that we are not the source of all things. Our quote of thanks is from John Henry Jowett. He said, "Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude." Our Bible verse of thanks is Psalm 136:3 (NLT). It reads, "Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His faithful love endures forever." ******* 365 Days of Thanking God by Daniella WhyteAvailable wherever fine books are...
Significant Moments, Shakespeare, and Psalm 136:2 (Everyday Thanks #719)10 Apr 2016 | 12:00 amOur thankful thought for today is this: It can only be said that we are living a full, complete life when we choose to live each moment. Each moment, no matter how small, means something. Our quote of thanks is from Shakespeare. He said, "I hate ingratitude more in man than lying, vainness, drunkenness or any taint of vice, whose strong corruption inhibits our frail blood." Our Bible verse of thanks is Psalm 136:2 (NLT). It reads, "Give thanks to the God of gods. His faithful love endures forever." ******* 365 Days of Thanking God by Daniella WhyteAvailable wherever fine books are sold, including Amazon Kindle for only $2.99! Gratitude Is... by Daniella WhyteAvailable wherever...
ALL Things, Robert G. Lee, and Psalm 136:1 (Everyday Thanks #718)5 Apr 2016 | 12:00 amOur thankful thought for today is this: Learn to be thankful in ALL things. That may seem difficult to do. But there is a way to do it. We learn to give thanks in ALL things but first giving thanks for one thing, and then in another thing, and then in another thing. Our quote of thanks is from Robert G. Lee. He said, "We never approach God without cause for gratitude. Thankfulness, a duty and delight greatly prominent in the Bible, is the declarative mood of gratitude…" Our Bible verse of thanks is Psalm 136:1 (NLT). It reads, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." ******* 365 Days of Thanking God by Daniella WhyteAvailable wherever fine books...
Past Life, Jerry Bridges, and Psalm 135:3 (Everyday Thanks #717)1 Apr 2016 | 12:00 amOur thankful thought for today is this: For many people, the past life is marked by shame, guilt, hurt, and regret. Going back through the past to find meaning and intentionality is often painful and spoken of negatively. Our quote of thanks is from Jerry Bridges. He said, "Giving thanks to God for both His temporal and spiritual blessings in our lives is not just a nice thing to do - it is the moral will of God. Failure to give Him the thanks due Him is sin." Our Bible verse of thanks is Psalm 135:3 (NLT). It reads, "Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; celebrate his lovely name with music." ******* 365 Days of Thanking God by Daniella WhyteAvailable wherever fine books are sold,...
Learning, Living, and Looking, Charles Simmons, and Psalm 135:1-2 (Everyday Thanks #716)20 Mar 2016 | 12:00 amOur thankful thought for today is this: In order to cultivate and practice self-awareness, we must truly understand who we are and the process toward becoming who we are. Inspection of ourselves is often risky and dangerous, but necessary to understand our identities. Our quote of thanks is from Charles Simmons. He said, "Gratitude to God should be as habitual as the reception of mercies is constant, as ardent as the number of them is great, as devout as the riches of divine grace and goodness is incomprehensible." Our Bible verse of thanks is Psalm 135:1-2 (NLT). It reads, "Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord! Praise him, you who serve the Lord, you who serve in the house of the Lord,...
