David Artsmith – The centerpiece of any stylish living room is of course, the coffee table, which sits at the center of the room. Generally couches and other seating items are arranged around this piece. It is the skeleton of the space, around which all other items tend to fall. However there are some basic mistakes which you can make when positioning your coffee table.
First, you have to make sure that the size of the coffee table matches the space in the room. It's a terrible nuisance when you have an oversized table sitting in the middle of an undersized room. There isn;t any room to move freely around the space. The entire area is constricted, over packed, and chaotic.
You want to make sure that when you place a coffee table, there is enough room for an average sized person to easily walk all the way around it. If you leave enough room, you will ensure that the space will flow naturally, allowing people to easily move throughout. It also ensures that the area won't feel cramped and crowded.
One trick to save some space is to push the coffee table up against a wall. Doing this means that you don't have to leave one whole walkway of space, freeing up a considerable amount of room. The problem is that this can center the room on a wall, creating a boring focus that leads nowhere. Luckily, this is also an opportunity, letting you dress the wall with whatever creative endeavor your mind can produce.
As far as style, the basics are obvious. Just make sure that whatever table you purchase matches the rest of the room's decor. You want a piece that looks great, but you don't want it to draw too much attention away from the rest of the space. As in all things, balance is the key.

I want to be known as a husband to Lauralea. A dad to my kids, papa to my grandchildren and just a guy who followed Jesus.
I've been helping churches get healthier for a long time, and usually that's about praying and staying a long time in the same place.
Oh and yes, I am a ham. VE6VOR.
Art in the Worship Space
It recognizes that perhaps God speaks more than just English, in fact, he may speak the language of the spirit more than we realize.
Getting our creative types involved in worship in this way values their contribution, and broadens our perspective.
Give it a try. It's worked well for us.

I coordinated an art exhibit for this very purpose at my church some 5 years ago now - but it was decided that it should be displayed in the narthex (entry, foyer, whatever you all call it - I'm from New England!). I cannot tell you how affirming it was for the artists in our congregation - there were a dozen or so who participated, and we had quite an array of different media. I would strongly encourage anyone reading to make something like this happen in their congregations.ReplyDelete

The Challenge
Our product design experience means we have faced an extensive range of challenges and although each project is a complex combination of different technologies teams and time frames, fundamentally knowing where to start to solve a problem and knowing the right questions to ask makes all the difference to the outcome.
Our recent Calling All Start-Up Competition produced some excellent entries and we are now looking forward to welcoming the winners to Triteq on Thursday 15th October.
We've designed the day kicking off with breakfast, naturally, to give the winners the opportunity to meet with our teams and discuss their challenges and opportunities, then it's over to us to address the issues and look at the best solutions.
The Winners
MuJo has a range of patented Class I medical devices to improve the compliance of complex rehabilitation exercises for commonly injured and problematic areas of the body.
The business was set up by a UK engineering graduate to address a £10 billion per year problem in the UK for treating musculoskeletal disorders, having invented a mechanism to target complex joints including spine, hips and shoulders over their full range of motion. As
Hoxton Analytics has the only solution that meets the needs of both retailers and their customers. With their cutting-edge technology, they can accurately count footfall and tell the most relevant customer demographics (such as gender and fashion segment) just from the shoes people choose to wear. The product is a small unit that houses a camera and a processor. It is installed low in a doorway or corridor to gather images of people's footwear as they walk past. From these images and using multiple layers of machine learning and artificial intelligence, it automatically counts people (at over 90% accuracy) and,
what's more, intelligently categorises people's demographics based on the shoes they choose to wear.
If you would like to talk to us about your design challenge, manufacturing needs or any other development issues – call us, we have a great coffee machine and we like meeting new people or send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com

We stayed here 2 nights in a 37' MH. In order to get 50 amp we had to take a site at the back of the park. The lady was rude at check in and they first gave us a site that was occupied. No satellite because of tree cover ..facing the afternoon sun.. dirt road in front of the MH .. etc. etc. I would hardly call this a RESORT by any stretch of the imagination and definitely not worth $47.50 per night. Dirt roads were windy and difficult to navigate in a 37'MH. WiFi was the only good thing about this. We wouldn't stay here again. - Pride5th

Our nightly rate is a Passport America discount; The new owners have done an amazing job switching this from a Jellystone Resort to a beautiful place to stay. They are friendly, helpful, and the perfect hosts. They will be reopening the restaurant in the future. Since half of this park is long established, sites with Large established trees and lush grass are available. These are front to front, back to back sites with 20/30 amp full hookups. They have a new 20/50 amp section with Log and Wide sites. Will be wonderful when fully landscaped. This park is on the north side of the Temple. This is a very family oriented park with pool, volleyball, horseshoes. Everyone who RVs in Utah needs to make this a stop! Even if you don't RV, they have a cabin that sleeps 8!

We stayed in Wakara back-in site 3 for three nights. Large, level, quiet and beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountains. We are 63' and could have fit in most sites in this campground. Only cons were low water pressure, and no wifi. Such a peaceful retreat. - barbielab
Mar 2017 - $40.00
This is one of our new favorite places. Such a breath of fresh air after staying in commercial RV parks. We stayed in Wakara site 8 for 3 nights, end of March. We were one of a handfull of RVs in the park. It was quiet and wonderful. Views all around are mountainous and interesting. Heard geese flying around, elk bellowing. Tons of stars at night. RV site was much wider than we anticipated - yay! (Was not a double site.) We have a 40' fifth wheel, dually truck, small SUV towing a flat trailer with motorcycles on it. We parked the truck in front of the fifth wheel with room to spare, and then parked the SUB/trailer next to the truck in the front of the site and next to the fifth wheel. Still tons of room for "outdoor space". Plus you have the little covered picnic table area. Sites are spaced out so you don't feel close to your neighbor. Site was asphalt and we had no trouble leveling. Hookups were fine where they were; you can backup your fifth wheel past the concrete bumpers so you less likely need a longer sewer hose. Water pressure wasn't amazing so we just filled and used water pump. Power went out 2/3 mornings - once for few hours, next day 5 minutes - so that was odd. AT&T data/phone service worked mostly. Had two bars of LTE in one part of our RV but if we moved to the front it went down to one bar 4G. I originally thought the long pull thru sites would be right for our big rig but it was NOT. While the pull thrus are long, they are curved in a way that's hard to get a 40' setup in the right spot without walking out your door into mud or being all wonky on the site. Go for the back-ins! Golf course seemed popular. Excited to come back when they have the rentals open (paddle boats, kayaks, canoes starting weekends in April). Only negative is the $10 extra for our "extra vehicle" which I just don't understand since we fit it all on one site. "Extra people" cost, sure, but our car didn't use any hookups... - FrozenWaters
May 2016 - $20.00
Beautiful setting on the lake next to the golf course. Wild golf course with lots of ups and downs through the hills. Very quiet site. Good dinner at adjacent restaurant. Well spaced pull-through sites (we have Class C with tow). Turn off from main highway is beyond sign. - AGalinAZ

This park is one of the best laid out parks we have ever encountered. Almost every site will accommodate a big rig and they are very easy to access. One thing to note is that the Utah Parks website and the sign at the highway entrance both proclaim full hook up sites available. They seem to regard electric and water as full hook up as only the camp host site has sewer. This is not a problem if you are only staying a night or two or arrive off season and are the only rig in the camp as we were and are willing to pay the extra $10 for the host site, which we weren't. The lake was empty and we were the only ones in the campground. - KiwiRVer
Jul 2016 - $20.00
We arrived on a Friday afternoon and found that all but 2 sites were reserved or occupied and settled on the back in that was somewhat sheltered from the wind, connected the electric and water, paid the iron ranger and then remained inside due to the heat and strong winds.
A lot of ATV activity, but not particulally annoying. The following morning quite a number of reserved sites remained empty - hmm, and we had seen people being turned away. - housecar
Apr 2016 - $25.00
Very happy to find this place. It was cold and rainy, but I was just looking for a place for a night on my way from Provo to Zion National Park, and this was perfect for what I wanted. Sites and roads are paved and in good condition. Most sites have water and electric, and if you get here off-season, you can use the host sites with full hookups. I also picked Site 12 because it was a very long pull-through with a terrific view of the lake, which is low on water, but still very scenic because of the mountains in the distance covered with snow. Sites are spread out nicely, with covered picnic tables, but no shade otherwise. Only three other campers here on weekday, so lots of privacy. Be warned that there are no showers here and restrooms look pretty basic--maybe pit toilets? I did not go in. I will definitely use this place for a quiet, peaceful, scenic place to hang out in the future. I got 2-3 bars of Verizon LTE service, which made me happy. - judy_online

Aug 2017 - $30.00
I stayed here two nights in site 12 while passing through in a 27 foot motorhome with tow car. The good -- it is not far off Interstate 15, it is on a lake, the sites are quite spacious with grass and shade trees and sheltered patios and graveled tent pads, and dogs are allowed on the beach and in the lake. The bad -- the park is very poorly laid out. There is a one way loop with pull through sites and back in sites on both sides. If I'd pulled into my pull through site following the loop my door would have been facing the road and the hookups would have been on the wrong side. The camp host who came by said to do a U-turn and come up the wrong way on the loop which is what virtually everyone else had done. I did it and rangers yelled at me for "not following the arrows." The camp host said he would straighten them out. Some back in sites have similar issues. Other than the backwards issue my site was excellent. It also didn't help that I arrived Sunday afternoon when the day use folk were leaving -- and the day use area is inside the campground and on the one way loop. As I said -- poorly laid out. The lake is very low -- 18% capacity -- and they closed 2/3rds of the boat ramp during my stay. We had severe wind storms both days I was there -- be very careful with your awnings. Verizon was okay. Water and electric worked fine. The dump station is across the road and perfect. I didn't use the restrooms. Price does not reflect $8 reservation fee. There are ATV trails and a hiking trail that starts at the dump station. The beach and lake were virtually deserted early in the morning and at dusk. There is a camp store that rents all kinds of lake stuff. - SoloRed

Had to turn the RV around to get hookups on the right side. It wasn't pretty but I got there. Easy off the hwy and roads are excellent. But far enough for minimal road noise. Put Yuba State Recreation area into your GPS to get here or you may end up at the south campground. Grass was well kept and wonderful. The lake was clean and dogs are allowed to swim. It was an easy walk down from the campsites to the lake. Connectivity was great. Verizon was 40+ d/l, ATT 5. Tmobile voice was usable but data not. OTA pulled in a couple of network channels and some fillers. The nearest Walmart is an hour drive. There's some small grocery here but I didn't go to it. Other than that, there's nothing out here. So kick back and relax at the lake for a week. They have onsite jetski, kayak, paddleboard, and boat rentals. The lake is clean and crisp. It's a wonderful campground. Site accessibility (site pull in was backwards) - 3 Campground location (Easy off the hwy, out in the middle of nowhere) - 3 Nearby amenities (1 hr to walmart. Local small grocery) - 2 Site Privacy (large sites, good privacy) - 4 Campground amenities (30 amp W/E, individual bathrooms/showers/jet ski/boat/kayak rentals onsite) - 4 Dog friendly (Dogs allowed on beach) - 4 Activities (Water sports, ATV, good bike trails) - 4 Cost ($30/night for W/E, no cable) - 3 Staff friendliness (Friendly and maintains sites and facilities) - 4 Connectivity (Excellent Verizon, decent ATT, Tmobile voice only, a couple of OTA channels) - 4 Total rating = 3.5. - mjessie

Fasterfox Lite: Performance and network tweaks for Firefox, without the Enhanced Prefetching. This is a fork from the original "Fasterfox".
Tento doplněk byl vývojářem označen jako experimentální
O doplňku
Lite does not mean less performance, it is just a reference to the removal of the obtrusive Enhanced Prefetching ability in Fasterfox. Enhanced Prefetching was removed for this Lite version because it wastes a lot of server bandwidth and causes unnecessary server load.
Fasterfox Lite comes with pre-configured tweaks to improve the browsing speed of Firefox when using most broadband internet connections. Fasterfox Lite will speed up your web browsing right out of the box with no assembly required. People who complain that Firefox is slow obviously do not have Fasterfox Lite installed. (Actual speed improvements may vary depending on the desired settings that are used and the presented testing situation.
Simple controls
Fasterfox Lite allows you to easily tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache and initial paint delay. Unique to this Lite version are included options for SSL Pipelining, timer-based content reflows, UI Responsiveness, Link Prefetching, IPv6 DNS lookups, and by default the Page Load Timer is disabled. If you want to manually change the "about:config" settings, then the Fasterfox Lite preset must first be saved to the "Custom" setting. This is to prevent the configurations from being different from a selected preset's settings.

Education and learning is an extremely important aspect that assists us shape our career, for anybody who desires to have a brilliant future, education and learning is incredibly essential. It assists in the general growth of an individual that could offer his/her requirements and needs in a less complex course. If you are truly well informed after that you can be adequately utilized as well as earn your source of income. Quality education and learning could not be paid for by everybody. In such instance, you could conveniently rely on educational debts and fulfill your academic wishes easily. The government has actually started a conditional lending forgiveness prepare for students, as some have actually failed to pay back the fundings as a result of their negative financial situations.
Officially referred to as the William D. Ford Lending Program, the Obama Student Funding Mercy Program gained this label when Head of state Obama developed a pair of reforms to the loan program in 2009. The reforms entirely use to federal pupil loans.
Just How This Can Help In Mena AR?
Federal student finances are of much assistance to pupils desiring to pursue their university researches but are not fairly monetarily qualified. With federal student loans gettinged of, university pupils will certainly be not just able to seek college research studies however additionally be able to profit from lots of payments systems offered for them. They also need to take care of their student car loans as well as not permit this to go on default.
Who Can Avail?
The trainee funding alleviation program is one where the student can use this lending and without having for this to be paid back, if the student is qualified. For the teacher loan forgiveness program, the debtor needs to teach for five successive years and must get on a full time basis. The location of mentor ought to be in a low-income neighborhood or for training solutions given to low-income families. The prospective dangers experienced will certainly be not satisfying the whole 5 years of successive training, for whatever reasons the trainee borrower has. Federal student debts use by student debtors and also seeking teaching works can be great for them, however there are also prospective risks potentially came across, and also the customer should apply for this not to take place.
Public pupil loan forgiveness program can also be availed of by student debtors who satisfy the certain certifications. The federal student car loans gotten are benefiting most the university student because they could finish their college education as well as have a job after college graduation, and this is one of the most the get as the benefit. They could additionally get the general public trainee car loan mercy if they have made 120 funding payments or successive payments consistently for 10 years as well as work in a qualified civil service company. There is also the threat potentially came across, that of being disqualified like when the trainee financing enters into default. After many years of financing payments consistently as well as economic problem come along, there is the opportunity of default, and this can disqualify the consumer from availing of this car loan mercy program.
The Choices in Mena Arkansas?
For sure, the government pupil car loans are providing more benefits to college pupil customers, and also they can additionally have several payment choices that could be availed of. They may treat this with minimal concern contrasted with the federal student loans, but might also avail of when university funds are not sufficient, they will not have this advantage of financing relief with the personal student financings.
Trainee debtors that get on the income-based payment system and making their settlements faithfully might additionally get gotten approved for the lending forgiveness program if they discuss and also get certified. However, there could also be some danger associated with this, like the equilibrium of the loan not forgiven is treated as earnings; therefore the debtor needs to pay taxes for this. Nevertheless, this might be the lesser of the trouble dealt with because, the bigger student debt quantity is forgiven. Hence, the federal student fundings should be treated a lot more preferentially by pupil borrowers as a result of numerous advantages they obtain.

It didn't take long for Addison Reed to see what baseball in Boston is all about.
The newly acquired reliever made his Red Sox debut Tuesday night against the Cleveland Indians at Fenway Park. He surrendered a home run to Carlos Santana in the eighth inning before giving way to closer Craig Kimbrel, who subsequently allowed a game-tying homer in the ninth.
It was an underwhelming arrival for the veteran right-hander, but the Red Sox still pulled off a dramatic 12-10 win thanks to a Christian Vazquez walk-off home run. And those are the types of moments Reed admired from afar while pitching for the New York Mets throughout this season.
"They've been fun to watch — you always see them on TV," Reed said before Tuesday's game, per MLB.com. "Like every time I turn on MLB Network or 'SportsCenter,' they're showing the highlight of one of the guys in this clubhouse. … Every time I turn on the TV, it seems like they're showing a highlight catch or guys dancing in center field."
Tuesday night's game had a little bit of everything, making it perhaps Boston's biggest win of the year, especially since it thrust the Red Sox back ahead of the New York Yankees in the American League East standings.
Sure, not every game will include so much drama. But few things compare to a pennant race in Boston, and that isn't lost on Reed, who posted a 2.57 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP in 48 appearances with the Mets before the Red Sox acquired him in exchange for three prospects prior to Monday's Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline.
"This has always been a dream of mine, to come here and play," Reed said, according to MLB.com. "When I got the call (Monday) saying that I was coming here, it was awesome. It's everything I thought it would be. I'm excited to be here and to get ready to roll."
"If you can't get ready to go here, you shouldn't be playing baseball," the 28-year-old added. "If you can't get pumped up playing in front of these fans and in this atmosphere, then there's something wrong with you and you need to go home."
It sounds like Reed is all in with his new team.

Dr.Konstantinos Mouroutis –
Director of New Life Institute-
My dear friends, what is the purpose of life? Why do people live? When people arrive at the final destination of their life's journey, they ask, "Why did I work so hard? Why did I try to make so much money? Why did I struggle to succeed?" What a pitiful waste of life to die without being able to answer these questions! Many live their lives without understanding life's meaning or its purpose.
Dear friends, let's ask ourselves a question. "What is the meaning of life?" Quite honestly, none of us would be able to answer this question so easily. Why is this? Why are we unable to answer what seems to be a simple question? This is because it's actually impossible to know the meaning of life without first coming to firm grips with our origin, how we came to exist.
Let's assume for a moment that our existence is explained by the theory of evolution. Bang! There was the big bang. Then, a series of events lead to DNA…then to genes…cells…ameba…and eventually to human beings. Now, how did this all come about? By chance, according to evolution, isn't that right? But a chance is, by definition, something that just happened without any meaning or purpose. Therefore, to believe in the theory of evolution is to accept the notion that there is no purpose in life. This has grave consequences. Not only do we, as individuals, lose a sense of purpose in our lives, but also, life itself becomes completely meaningless if we were to believe in evolution. According to evolution, we happened to exist, but if it turned out that we didn't, it would not have mattered.
Without a clear understanding of who God is, we cannot escape this kind of thinking even if we go to church. 'Why am I here?' 'My mom and dad decided to sleep together one day…and here I am!' This type of thought process can never lead to the discovery of the reason for our existence in this world.
We have learned that genes are essentially letters, and letters have to be created. Letters contain meaning. We human beings are, in effect, a collection of letters. We are not a piece of meat, but a collection of letters.
A gene consists of four bases (a, t, c, g) chemically arranged in varying sequences. A different sequence denotes a different meaning, just like the way it works with the letters. Therefore, we're not just a cluster of cells, or a lump of protein. No! What we really are is a collection of letters with meaning and purpose! The question is, then, whose purpose do these letters express?
Now, letters (all letters) cannot come to exist by a random chance. They must all be created! Then the answer to the previous question is self-
You see, genes are created to respond differently to various meanings. As we know from Dr. Pavlov's experiments, when a subject perceives a positive meaning, a positive response is aroused. A negative meaning provokes a negative response. When there is no meaning there is no response. When a dog first hears the sound of the bell "ding," there is no meaning associated with that sound. And, there is no response. No wagging tails in anticipation of a delicious treat. No happy barking sound. No endorphins to get her all excited. There is no response! None, whatsoever! Without meaning, genes don't respond. Not until the dog starts associating the sound of the bell to being fed (i.e. giving a positive meaning to the sound of the bell), is she going to start drooling, barking with happiness, and start wagging her tail at the sound of the bell. This is an obvious example of how genes respond to meaning.
Before we get too sidetracked, let's go back to the subject of the purpose of life. As mentioned earlier, there cannot be true meaning in life if the theory of evolution is correct. But many people do believe in the theory of evolution. Consequently, it is impossible for these to know what the true, fundamental purpose in life is. They each must come up with their own purpose in life. It becomes the responsibility of the each individual to come up with his/her own version of meaning in life. And this is commonly done. 'My goal in life is this.' 'I will accomplish that before I die.' But quite often, other people's goals seem very trivial and frivolous. Many times, we catch ourselves thinking, 'You call that your purpose in life?' And I'm sure others would think the same way about us. The truth is that the theory of evolution, if believed, would lead all of us down the path of aimless life.
What other theories are there? Well, there is reincarnation. What else? I guess there are many myths and legends in various ethnic groups and cultures that try to explain their origin. ..But none of these theories and myths provides a meaningful insight into the purpose of life.
Let's take a closer look at reincarnation, which has quite a following around the world. What is at the heart of this philosophy? It is a belief that souls are reincarnated over and over again in an endless cycle. This can only be true if souls are immortal. Thus, to believe in reincarnation is to believe in the natural immortality of the soul. However, to say that souls have existed for all eternity is to reject the idea of creation. Clearly, there is no need to create something that already exists.
So we have the theory of evolution, the natural immortality of the soul, and creation, to explain our existence. Which of these theories are most plausible from the perspective of genetic biology? Of course, it's the creation! Why? Because we are made of cells, and within each individual cell are the genetic codes written in letters that cannot exist without being created. What, then, is the purpose of life? Can creation tell us what the meaning of life is all about?
You know, I personally believe that to study the Bible, especially the book of Genesis, is to discover the meaning of life. One of you just said that "to live with God eternally" is the purpose of life. I agree with that statement, because it is technically correct. However, the majority of people would not find the statement to be very persuasive. You see, the only people who have walked with God know what it means to live with Him. Otherwise, the statement rings hollow, devoid of any meaning.
Now let's talk about the meaning of life. Let us turn to the Scriptures. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Wow, it's a beautiful verse. How does it begin? "In the beginning…." – this is the starting point. Where is the starting point with the natural immortality of the soul? There is none. The theory of evolution does not supply us with any clearer insight into our origin. Why the big bang out of the blue? No one knows. "In the beginning…" Only God, the creator, can provide such a definitive beginning.
What did He begin? The work of creation from nothing! "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." This verse contains the real "big bang!" There is an incredible amount of power bottled up in this verse. One minute, there is nothing, and in the next, there are the heavens and the earth. What a powerful beginning! Obviously, there cannot be this kind of beginning without God, the creator. But rather than just focusing on His power, we need to contemplate on His purpose in creation, because knowing why He created us will be necessary to understand the meaning of life.
Why do automakers build automobiles? Why do they build computers? There is a reason and purpose in making these items. The more difficult and complex it is in building a machine, the stronger the reason for building it. There are no machines that are as complex and intricate as human beings. My friends, there must be a compelling reason for our existence.
Generally, simple things exist for simple reasons. For example, a club has a very simple structure. It's just a piece of stick. The reason why anyone builds a club is to beat someone up, or at least threaten to –
I'm so and glad and thankful that I came to know God. It is only after I met Him that I found the true meaning of my life. Do you know what it was like before I found Him? Well, I was like this incredibly well built ship floating on the ocean – literally just floating around. Where was it going? Nowhere. Just floating in the direction of the wind. Going with the fad when that's blowing strong. Sometimes going with the pride, and other times, with honor and glory. Well, we can't leave out the greed. Going back and forth, in whichever direction the wind was blowing, with no real sense of purpose.
You know, there are many different types of winds. Some of us have a lot of grievances buried deep in our hearts as a result of hardship and suffering. Thus, to some of us, the wind might blow in the direction of relieving those grievances. To somehow compensate for the suffering we've endured becomes the purpose in life. 'Oh I suffered too much growing up because I was so poor. I'm going to make a ton of money and spend it to my heart's content!' This is an example of a totally superficial purpose in life. It's completely arbitrary and whimsical in nature. You know what? Let's not even call it a purpose in life, because it really isn't. It has nothing to do with the fundamental meaning of life. It's just one of many winds blowing to and fro. They are all blowing in different directions without a meaning or purpose.
Well, what kind of wind was blowing in my life? It was the love of money. I was just sailing on and making money. Making money was so easy! And it felt pretty good. But deep down inside, I knew this couldn't be the real purpose in life. I knew I couldn't look back at the end of my life and say that I had a fulfilling life if I had continued to live the way I did. 'What, then, is my real purpose in life?' For years, this was a nagging question in the back of my mind.
We were just talking about the creation. Most people believe, at least partly, in evolution and the natural immortality of the soul, but also say "amen" when a preacher talks about how men are created in God's image. Our thoughts are so muddled and inconsistent. We believe in Creation, but we also believe in other things that are inconsistent with creation. This is the reason why believing in creation is not helping us to clarify the meaning of life. We say we believe in creation but are still confused about our purpose in life. We may have a vague idea that we are to live with God in heaven in the after life. But, how about our life now?
If God really did create us, there must have been a purpose. And we must gain a clearer insight into the purpose of creation if we are to understand the purpose of life. Why? Because God's purpose for creation is our purpose for existence! If we accept this logic, then our purpose in life should become clear once we gain an insight into His purpose in creation. This is the domino-
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." This verse establishes, for us, the very purpose of life from the beginning to the end. But the verse means nothing to us until we come to understand why He has created us. Herein lies the difficulty that God faces. You see, it isn't easy for God to make us understand His purpose: He cannot force us to understand His will or to accept it. "No, No! That is not why I created you! You can't go that way! No, No! Don't do that!" Someone who respects our freedom to the point of death (the cross of Calvary proves this) would not deal with us in such a manner. This is God's dilemma. He has to gently reveal His purpose to us without forcing Himself on us.
God gave us the Bible to help us understand His purpose in creation – and thus, our purpose in life. This is the reason the Bible starts with "In the beginning…" This is the reason the very first verse of the Bible had to be, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
I have one daughter, you know. I've always believed that it wouldn't make a difference to me whether my child was a boy or a girl. 'A son would be nice for my third, but another daughter would be just as well,' I used to think. But when my child came out, I screamed, "It's a girl!!" without even realizing it. I was so happy! That was November 6th, 1998. It still makes me happy just to think about it.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Does this verse really come home to your heart now? This was the happiest moment for God. "I have created you in the beginning." This was the moment we "came out" to the world, sort to speak. Wow! What a happy moment it must have been for God!
Now, let's try to understand why God created us. What does the Bible say? Is it in the Bible? Can you find it? Well, after a long search, I did manage to find a verse in the Bible pertaining to this issue. It's Genesis 2:18. "And the Lord God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone.'" What does this verse mean? Why would God care if man should be alone? It's because God knew what it meant to be alone. He had been there. And He'd much prefer to be with other beings that He could commune with. Adam was created in God's image, to be like Him. Of course, God knew that Adam wouldn't want to be alone!
But actually, there are some people who don't mind being alone. Some even enjoy it. They scream out, "Leave me alone!" In fact, all of us probably have felt this way at some point in our lives. When do we feel this way? Generally, it's when we are feeling critical, angry, or hateful. We won't enjoy others' company when we are feeling this way.
Well, when do we want to be with someone? When is this desire the strongest? When we are in love, of course! Being left alone is a miserable experience when we are in love. We'd always want to be with that special person to give and to receive love. It is impossible to experience this love when we are alone. When we are in love, we'd never want to be alone!
God is love. He is not just "loving," He is the embodiment of love itself! He can never enjoy being alone! It is not good for "Love" to be by Himself. This is why He created –
Genesis 2:18. "And the Lord God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone.'" I used to just read through it without giving it too much thought. But love makes everything more meaningful, including this verse.
Now, we are all here together: The families, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ. We are eating, laughing, and just enjoying each other's company. This is absolutely wonderful! It makes me wonder, 'what if I didn't have my loving wife?' My family? My friends? What, then, would my life have been like? None of us are perfect. But just being together with our loved ones, and caring for each other despite our shortcomings –
The first time I was in Canada, my friends dropped me off at Lake Louis, and they all left. I guess the idea was for me to enjoy the beautiful scenery by myself since I had the free time. It's supposed to be one of the most beautiful places in Canada. But you know what? I didn't like it! It really was a very nice place, I'm sure. But I did not enjoy being there all by myself. No matter how beautiful the place might have been, I could not appreciate it. When there was no one to share my thoughts and feelings, the beauty lost its meaning. I cannot even begin to imagine what my life would have been like without my loved ones!
God is love. God is at His happiest when He is giving His love to others. This is why He created us. He created us as the objects of His love, in order to pour out His love on us. He is happiest when He is with His loved ones!
You know, a true purpose is closely linked with happiness. Fulfilling the true purpose should make us happy, even if there is no other benefit that can be derived from accomplishing it. Let me explain. Let's say that I set a goal for myself. I actually hate doing it, but I know that others would be very impressed if I could accomplish this goal. So I'm forcing myself to do something that I hate in order to impress others. The joy comes from impressing others, not from the goal itself. Thus, this goal is a source of stress for me. I'm putting up with the stress in order to impress others. You see, this can't be a worthy goal. It's only giving me stress. A true purpose is different. It's something you'd enjoy accomplishing for its own sake, even if it means overcoming hardships and suffering in the process.
Well, the creation came with its own hardship and suffering. Yes, God is Almighty, but even God could not circumvent this difficulty. God decided to create us in order to pour out His love on us. But there was a potential side effect to this endeavor. Love cannot force itself to be accepted. God would not and could not force His creatures to accept His love. Yet, we are created to be happy and healthy when we receive His love. Now, here is the problem. What if we don't want to receive His love? Because God cannot give it to us forcibly, there is going to be a big problem. Why, then, did He still choose to create beings that can reject His love? It's because love is meaningless without the freedom to reject it.
Let's say that a man is married to a woman. She's trained to say "yes" to him all the time. That's how she grew up. From her childhood she was programmed by her parents to say "yes" no matter what. In fact, that's how her Mom lived her life. Well, there many Korean women who grew up this way. Anyway, she gets married, and begins her life of "yes" with her husband. Her husband says do this. "Yes." Do that. "Yes." "Yes, yes" no matter what. She cannot say "no." Now, how meaningful is her "yes" when her husband knows that she is programmed to just say it? Only when she gains the complete freedom and confidence to say "no," does her "yes" become meaningful. Real love and happiness can only be found in knowing that you can always say "no" but choosing, instead, to say "yes." For this reason God created us with the freedom to say "no" to Him.
Consequently, God had to meet the following conditions for His creation.
1) Because His purpose in creation was to pour out His love on us, we were created to live by receiving that love, without which we cannot survive.
2) And yet, we must posses the freedom to reject that love.
These two conditions are at odds with one another. What if we ended up rejecting His love? We would die, because we need His love in order to survive. And yet, He must allow us to reject His love in order to ensure our freedom. This was very difficult problem that God had to resolve before deciding to create us. God solved the problem by deciding to sacrifice His only begotten Son if we'd choose to sin. This is why Jesus is called "the lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
But what is sin? Isn't it the claim by the creatures that they can live apart from God? "I have nothing to do with You. I have evolved from ameba." Or, " My soul has existed for all eternity. It has nothing to do with Your creation." " I really don't need You. I can live without You." What are we talking about here? The separation from God! Yes, the essence of sin is our being separated from God. This was the potential side effect of creation: Certain creatures would choose to alienate themselves from God and His love. But to reject His love and to be separated from Him is to die. This causes the reversal of God's creation, canceling out His purpose of creation for the sinner. This reversal process brings the sinner back to the state before the creation ever began.
Therefore, we creatures have only two options.
1) Receive His love and live.
2) Reject His love and go back to the state of pre-
There are no other options. But Satan tries to deceive us into thinking that there is a third option. He says, "You shall not surely die." The deceiver says that we can live in sin, in the state of separation from Him and His love. My friends, don't let him deceive you! We need Him always. We need His love continually. We cannot live otherwise!
Now let's talk about this in the context of our purpose in life. God created us so that He can pour out His love on us. Why? Because that's what makes Him happy! He is at His happiest when He is giving us His love. He created us so that He can experience this supreme happiness!
Now, what would God want from us, then? Of course, He would want us to be happy. But how? Well, the same way He is happy – by giving His love to others. This is the only way to experience the true happiness, the very happiness of God. By experience, God knows that the greatest happiness stems from giving love to others. This happiness comes from the very act of giving itself, and not from whether or not anything is being returned. This is not the worldly happiness that comes from making lots of money, having a successful career, or having our egos stroked. We are to be happy as we give love to one another. This is our purpose in life!
This is why Jesus commanded, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you." He didn't pull this commandment out of His hat because it sounded nice. This commandment came about as a direct result of creation. Thus, to understand God's love is to understand creation. Knowing creation unravels all the confusion about the meaning of life.
You know, I've been thinking a lot about creation lately. I knew I was going to give series of lectures on Genesis. And so I meditated upon this topic for a while. "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth." It's such a powerful verse, and yet it never meant anything to me before. Then all of a sudden, it just came to me! I realized that this verse contains everything there is to know about life and its purpose.
If God created me and He is love, then He must have created me to be happy like Him! He must have had one simple wish for me. That is, "Kostas, be happy as I am happy." In other words, "love one another as I have loved you." Actually, He said something else that also means the same. Luke 6:35, 36 " But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil." "Therefore, be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful."
We know that the purpose of life is to love as God loves and thus be happy as He is. Now we need to know what it means to love like He does. You see our human love is different from God's. We hate our enemies, and love those that love us. But we need to experience His kind of love if we are to get a glimpse of what the meaning of life is all about. What are our feelings toward those who are ungrateful? "You ingrate! I'll never show you kindness again! Not ever!" If this is our attitude, we'll never know what the true meaning of life is. Even if we have fully comprehended all the things I talked about today at an intellectual level, and are even able to teach others, we still would not really know what it means to live a purposeful life unless we have experienced this kind of love. It is only when, by the grace of God, we learn to love the unlovable person (who shows nothing but contempt for our kindness) that we begin to "know" the meaning of life. "Aha…so this is what it really means to love. This is what life is all about…"
Therefore, we should not take the words of Jesus as some dictatorial command. "You must love your enemy!" No, as our creator, He is just telling us how to be happy. For this was the purpose of His creation and thus the purpose of our life.
Luke 6:35 "…your reward will be great."
So what is the reward? Happiness, of course! "Wow! This is the way to live! What joy it brings to be able to forgive and love your enemy!" Experiencing God's purpose for our life, is the reward.
By experience I have learned that this kind of love makes me happier than all the money I have made and all the fame I have gained in the past. Yet, knowing all this, I still have to struggle against seeking the thrill of receiving man's applause. Being in the lecture circuit, I am constantly tempted to find happiness in my fame and the adulation of my audience. This should not be the case. But it is. We are all tempted to replace the true happiness with something else. Don't say it's not a big deal. It is! Our eternal life depends on it! We must engage in a hand-
The problem is, we cannot overcome in our own strength. How can we forgive and love our enemy? This requires a change in the synapse of our brain. Our brain needs to be rewired, sort to speak.
My friend swindled me out of lots of money. It wasn't just the loss of money that made me angry: He betrayed my trust and took advantage of our friendship. Any thought of him filled my heart with anger and hatred. A synapse in my brain would cause a negative chain reaction in my body when I thought of him: releasing stress hormones, making my heartbeat faster, discharging free radicals, and clenching my teeth. All these reactions weaken my immune system considerably. It literally shortens my life. But you know what? I couldn't stop it! Every time his name was mentioned, the chain reaction would start! There was no way for me to get rid of the synapse in my brain that was responsible for this. The power to change the synapse, the power to rearrange my genetic code, the very power to completely change my heart did not reside within me. It took the power of God, His power of creation. He had to give me a new heart to forgive my friend. God had to create a brand new synapse in my brain that would make me happy when I thought about my friend. What a wonderful gift it was!
When you receive and experience such a wonderful power of God, you begin to understand that this kind of experience is far more precious than the whole money of the world. You know, forgiving my friend has brought me far greater happiness than the money which he has taken from me, ever did. It is very difficult to make the decision to forgive the unforgivable. We must wrestle with God all night for His power and strength, if need be. But it'll be well worth the struggle. But if we just say to ourselves, "Well that's the biblical ideal, but the reality is different…" then we are throwing away the most precious gift from God, His love, His happiness, and the very essence of His life.
Dear friends, make the decision to experience this kind of mercy just once. It gets easier and easier. Why? Because the incredible happiness that we'd experienced would reinforce itself in us. We instinctively pursue happiness. If we have never tasted this kind of happiness before, then the only happiness we know of are the false ones. We get a temporary fix when we lash out at someone. When we put the "jerks" in their place, there is a sense of relief. If this is the only kind of happiness we're accustomed to, we'll naturally pursue it. Hatred and revenge would become our primary purpose in life. What an empty and meaningless life it would be!
My friends, we have a special purpose for being here in this sinful world. We are here to live out the biblical principle. Do you know what it really means to study bible? A true bible study entails learning how to love our enemies. It is not just a study of some fancy theology. It's learning to be as happy as God. It's learning the very purpose of creation through experience. We must "taste" the truth, by personally experiencing what it means. Otherwise, it would be of no benefit to us. It would just be a meaningless theory that sounds nice.
Now, we are the only beings in the universe that have the opportunity to follow Him all the way, to be merciful even as our Father in heaven is merciful. Why? Because the earth is the only place in the universe that's full of "enemies" to love. You see, there are no enemies in Heaven. There are no ingrates in heaven in need of mercy. Being Adam's descendents, and living in this fallen world, we have every opportunity to learn and experience God's love and mercy. We have the privilege to go way beyond the mere intellectual knowledge of His love. We can taste and feel it first hand! We have the privilege of sharing it with one another! This is our special purpose in life here on earth.
In this sense, our purpose in life is of higher level compare to those of the unfallen worlds. To be able to love our enemy and experience the supreme happiness of God Himself, is a privilege that the unfallen beings are not privy to. They are all nice and kind to each other. They simply don't have any enemies to love. My dear friends, we ought to be thankful that we have enemies in our lives. Despite the existence of Satan and his efforts to ruin our lives, we can always be thankful when we are focused on our high calling.
The book of Revelation gives us further insight on our purpose for being here. Rev 22:4 "They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads." What does it mean to have His name on their foreheads? John is talking about the character of Jesus. It means that His character will be ingrained in us, coded into our genes. And we will be merciful as God is merciful.
Rev 22:5 "And there shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever." I did not quite understand the part about "reigning" forever. Jesus is the King! Why, then, would we be "reigning?" And if everyone is "reigning," then, who are the subjects of this kingdom? The confusion came from the misunderstanding of the word "reign." In heaven, kings don't "reign" the way they do here on earth. In heaven, to be the least is to be the greatest. The kings in heaven minister unto others as their servants.
You see, we, the human beings, know what it means to love our enemy the way Jesus did. We have experienced that God-
All of us here on earth are born with high destiny of becoming kings in the new heaven and earth. Wow, What a high calling!
I'm so happy to have found this wonderful meaning of life through the study of Genesis. In fact, this theme unites the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation in a single thread.
I've put in a lot of effort in preparing for this lecture. I just hope that you'll find this lecture helpful in finding the true meaning for your life.

Samyojana, aka: Sanyojana, Saṃyojana; 3 Definition(s)
Samyojana means something in Buddhism, Pali. Check out some of the following descriptions and leave a comment if you want to add your own contribution to this article.
In Buddhism
saṃyojana : (nt.) connection; fettering.Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionary
about this context:
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha's speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
General definition (in Buddhism)
There are 10 fetters tying beings to the wheel of existence, namely:
- (1) personality-belief (sakkāya-ditthi)
- (2) sceptical doubt (vicikicchā)
- (3) clinging to mere rules and ritual (sīlabbata-parāmāsa; s. upādāna)
- (4) sensuous craving (kāma-rāga)
- (5) ill-will (vyāpāda)
- (6) craving for fine-material existence (rūpa-rāga)
- (7) craving for immaterial existence (arūpa-rāga)
- (8) conceit (māna)
- (9) restlessness (uddhacca)
- (10) ignorance (avijjā)
The first five of these are called 'lower fetters' (orambhāgiya-samyojana), as they tie to the sensuous world. The latter 5 are called 'higher fetters' (uddhambhāgiya-samyojana), as they tie to the higher worlds, i.e. the fine-material and immaterial world (A.IX.67-68; A.X.13; D.33, etc.).
- He who is free from 1-3 is a Sotāpanna, or Stream-winner, i.e. one who has entered the stream to Nibbāna, as it were.
- He who, besides these 3 fetters, has overcome 4 and 5 in their grosser form, is called a Sakadāgāmi, a 'Once-returner' (to this sensuous world).
- He who is fully freed from 1-5 is an Anāgāmī, or 'Non-returner' (to the sensuous world).
- He who is freed from all the 10 fetters is called an Arahat, i.e. a perfectly Holy One.
For more details, s. ariya-puggala.
The 10 fetters as enumerated in the Abhidhamma, e.g. Vibh. XVII, are:
- sensuous craving,
- ill-will,
- conceit,
- wrong views,
- sceptical doubt,
- clinging to mere rules and ritual,
- craving for existence,
- envy,
- stinginess,
- ignorance.
