The launch of the #BigBlueTest is approaching quickly and we want YOU to get involved. Last year, we had an amazing turn out with over 20K Big Blue Test entries. This year, we want to set the bar a little higher and aim for 35K #BigBlueTest entries by the 20th of November. This is where we ask you, the advocate, for as much help as possible. To reach our goal of 35k entries, we created two instructional pages to help you bring the Big Blue Test to work and to school.
Big Blue Test At Work:
If you work in an office, you have the opportunity to help us collect many Big Blue Tests this year. Remember that each test collected results in one dollar donated to charity. We have provided a Big Blue Test At Work Resource Page to help you plan a successful Big Blue Test Event.
Big Blue Test At School:
You can make a huge difference by collecting Big Blue Tests of your entire school for the entire month, or just one class on one day. Follow the steps on the Big Blue Test At School Resource Page to help you and your child put together a fun activity for their classmates.
The idea of the instructional pages were brought on by Abby Morrow, whose sister Virginia is a child with diabetes. Abby wanted to raise awareness at her Minnetonka Middle School and with their participation, over 3K Big Blue Tests were entered. Read more about Abby's Story.

Pets are posing for the camera.
The public was invited to get portraits taken with their pets at the Animal Shelter Society of Muskingum County Saturday morning. All proceeds raised are going to be used locally.
"We use it to help people low-income to spay and neuter their pets," says President of Muskingum County Paws Chris Medley.
Medley says she would strongly encourage everyone to get their animals spayed and neutered because if not, it ultimately affects the shelter.
"To help fray the costs and keep population down so that we don't have so many at the shelter we're trying to alleviate the problem before it happens instead of after the fact," she says.
She says the shelter is currently at full capacity and it's now selling cats for $10.00

Championship: Birmingham's home and away form confuses Lee Clark after Doncaster win
Lee Clark was baffled by Birmingham's form after a win at Doncaster, who only had themselves to blame, says Paul Dickov.
Last Updated: 07/04/14 12:18pm
It was the Blues' ninth win on the road, while they have only won two at home.
"I just don't know what it is, but I'm quite embarrassed by our home form," Clark said.
"We shouldn't feel under more pressure at home because we've got fantastic support and the fans have never turned on the players or myself.
"I've tried everything from a sports psychologist, different training methods, different suits.
"I've even considered going naked to home games, but maybe that's not such a good idea."
Birmingham were lacklustre in the first half in which Doncaster took the lead when defender Paul Quinn fired home at the second attempt following a free-kick from David Cotterill in the 36th minute.
But there was a massive turnaround in the second half after a bad mistake by young left-back James Husband led to an equaliser as Rovers crashed to their first home Sky Bet Championship defeat in nine games.
Husband dwelt on the ball and was robbed of possession by on-loan Manchester United striker Federico Macheda, who lashed home the equaliser from a tricky angle in the 57th minute.
Lee Novak broke away to put City in front after 71 minutes and Macheda sealed the comeback with a fine header five minutes later.
Clark said: "It wasn't looking good in the first half but the players came out after the interval and put in a very good performance.
"We made changes and just matched them up in the second half, won our individual battles and played on the front foot.
"We scored three and could have had more. Now we just have to get it right at home."
Rovers boss Paul Dickov acknowledged his side only had themselves to blame.
"It was definitely a self-inflicted defeat," he said.
"We were one up at half-time without playing as well as we have recently, and should have been further in front.
"But if you make mistakes you get punished. All three goals were individual errors that cost us dearly and we have to learn from that.
"We've got a game on Tuesday night and we will go again. We are better than that, especially at home.
"It's a game we should have won, but we have to stay positive and believe in ourselves.
"Federico Macheda is lethal in the penalty area and you just can't allow him chances like that.
"We should know because we had him on loan ourselves earlier in the season."

Need help with an odd Wi-Fi issue please.
Hello everyone, I am need of some help with my WI-Fi.
The original connection I used on my laptop was called Wi-Fi. However, recently my system created Wi-Fi 2. I need to delete the Wi-Fi 2 connection because it does not connect to the net. This is not listed as a separate listing under the Network Sharing center nor is it listed under Available Network Connections. What is listed under both areas is the original WI-Fi. When I select the listing "WI-Fi" it connects to "Wi-FI 2". It is almost as if the "2" is a sub connection of the original WI-Fi.
I have searched my registry and remove any reference to WI-Fi 2. Deleted the original WI-Fi connection and neither worked. The sub connection always comes back and is the only one my system will connect to.
I need to stress that none of my equipment or any SSID's have changed. I have checked the connection properties but did not see any thing different.
I hope I explained my issue clearly enough. Any Help would be greatly apperciated.

When economic times become more and more uncertain this question seems to come up more and more – a direct correlation in my book. Companies start to realize that what they were doing in good times doesn't necessarily work in weaker times so this drives the "strategy question" of what should they now do differently.
Strategy is something that should be done when times are good – modify during weaker times but fully executed the way it was designed. The problem with developing an all encompassing strategy in bad times is that companies tend to build "reaction strategies" instead of "proactive strategies" – there is a difference. Companies generally aren't thinking as clearly when they are in react mode than when they have time to create a "blank sheet of paper" to work from. This can compromise your true intent as a business and cause you to forget what will differentiate you in the future.
However, one thing I would encourage you to consider during bad times is that you might have to change the way you "execute" your strategy or the "priority" of some of the goals/objectives. Some areas may need more emphasis during weaker times and others might need to be put on hold for a few months to focus in certain areas. This is NOT changing your strategy but merely modifying it to the current conditions. There is a big difference between modifying it and changing it completely. What you wanted to accomplish in good times shouldn't change – HOW you get there should.
Bottom line – definitely build a strategy for where you truly want to get and what you stand for as an organization. Get outside help to work with you so you can see the forest AND the trees. After you have created the core strategy, goals and objectives, now do an "overlay" of today's conditions and see what you might need to modify in its "execution" based on current economic conditions. Stay in "proactive" mode with the focus that your customers will see through your antics if you switch to "react" mode. Customers are still the driver and as long as you incorporate their input and contributions to help make a "Customer-Centric" Strategy you can't be too far off target.
Remember, customers are still the primary group that writes you checks every month. To stay in sync with them during weaker economic times, you need to be even closer to them so you are more in tune than your competitors. Take the lead, bring them into the fold and get them involved more than ever – it will pay big dividends both today and tomorrow.

I came to this site over and over again looking for answers, looking for support, looking for suggestions & hoping I wasn't the only one suffering. I have my IBS-D totally controlled now & it has been like this for quite some time now. The reason why I am back making a post is because I was suffering so much & I came here to seek the answers, but most all of us were just asking the questions & only a handful had the answers. Maybe I can offer a glimmer of hope or a suggestion that may help you get to where I am today.
My symptoms started in 2005, my gall bladder was removed that year, and I had no relief. I had all the tests (hyda-scan, blood tests for inflammation, xrays with barium, CTscans, endoscopy, & colonoscopy - to name a few). Nothing was clear except the fact that they couldn't find anything, nobody could. I was so frustrated I'd get angry with the doctors & just cry. The symptoms for me included serious bouts of diarrhea, sometimes 12 times a day, with extremely sharp cramping just below my belly button. The only way I ever got relief was when I would force myself to fall asleep during this, I relaxed.
I got to the point where I decided that I'd rather not eat than suffer the pain & I got down to about
93lbs. Who wants to live in Italy where you have to pay to use a public restroom & it's always a dire need? I stopped leaving the house because I'd end up having to leave full grocery carts in the commissary/grocery store to go home & deal with the pain & diarrhea.
I bought the book called The First Year IBS & when I had a bout, I sat on the throne & read that book & it helped to ease my mind & offered some great advice. I see a lot of other books out now, but at the time, that was the best one, so I still would recommend it.
It was explained to me that there is such a network of nerves in our GI systems that they have the ability to do what they want, regardless of what the brain says. For that reason, I was reluctantly put on an antidepressant.... Prozac (fluoxetine). I never wanted to take that route, but I am thinking now that it really saved me. I wasn't crazy, but I was sure able to relax after that & it helped so much. The Prozac worked it's magic on those nerve bundles. I was also put on Bentyl (dicyclomine) 4 times a day & weaned myself off slowly, starting with the bedtime dose because it wasn't affiliated with food. To this day I still take my Citrucel (soluble fiber) pill every day & will for the rest of my life...by choice. It turns the contents of my large intestine into a form of a gel & keep things smooth & regular.
I asked to be weaned off the Prozac 2 months ago & haven't taken a Bentyl in many months. I have not had one symptom of IBS since then. I suffered in pain & humiliation for about
4yrs. I am back amongst the living.
If I can offer any advice to help anyone, it'd be to find your comfort food, the one thing you can eat when you're really down & also, don't stop eating. If you get sick from lack of nutrition, you are definitely not any better off than you already are. I heeded the advice of a fellow IBS sufferer who reminded me to pay attention to what I eat & to not eat anything that is hard to digest, veggie skins, raw veggies, seeds, salads, etc. I also stopped the coffee altogether. I found comfort in baked potatoes - but that's just me. I made the time to exercise & get my body into a routine.
It's hard, it's really hard, but you're not alone. Maybe I can help one person with this post, maybe one bit of advice I have given hits home for you & makes it all work, finally. I weigh a healthier 115lbs now, I eat almost anything, but I still am afraid of salads & super greasy, fried foods - creature of habit.
I wish you all well & I hope you can find the relief you need & deserve. All the best to you!

RGRwfe, thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging post. I would just like to say that I was put on two selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs, a type of antidepressant) for the same reason - to help with my IBS as well as the accompanying anxiety and depression. A couple months ago I decided I wasn't really so anxious and depressed anymore, at least no more than the average person, and I decided to wean myself off of them (I didn't think they were helping my IBS that much because I still had some symptoms). I'm sorry to report that this was a big mistake. My IBS was back to the uncontrollable hellish symptoms I experienced several years prior. I even waited a whole month before getting back on them because my doctor said that even someone without IBS could get an upset stomach for up to two weeks just for getting off the meds. So: SSRIs really can help with IBS - I had just forgotten how horrible IBS can really be. I think I will stay on them now for a long, long, time.

Glad my post could be of some help. I have been told that you can stay on an SSRI as long as you need to (even for life), as long as it isn't a hindrance. The big reason for fluoxetine for me was because of the side effect of "hunger" & it was a chance for me to not be a stick figure anymore, & that worked well. The only side effect I experienced was feeling tired, but I switched my dose to bedtime instead of morning & that alleviated the problem.
There's no shame in taking an SSRI / anti-depressant & if you have IBS & it is something that actually WORKS for you, hallelujah! My post was to encourage other to give it a try & not be embarrased because they are not "depressed". I'm sure it won't work for everyone, we're all different, but I am happy to know it worked for the both of us!
I hope you continue to live a life without IBS symptoms!!

I have suffered with chronic D all my adult life (and I'm old LOL). I've tried all kinds of drugs and nothing works -- oh it may work for a little while, but the D always returns. I've gone years with no drugs at all -- just watching my food intake and making sure I eat my yogurt daily. That helps for awhile (as good as the drugs) but eventually the D returns. I'm coming off a 4 or 5 month respite from the chronic D, and boy did the IBS return with a vengence this time. The cramping, diarrhea, nausea, bloating are really bad this week. When it gets this way, I have no desire to eat. But I make sure to eat yogurt and of all things white bread seems not to bother me too much. Not much nutrition there, but it's something.

How many mg of fluexotine did you take? I started taking 20 mg for depression (thanks to IBD); I'm wondering if bumping up the fluexotine will help the remaining IBS symptoms.

Thanks. I have trouble eating and don't eat during the day because I can't do anything while I'm in pain from food. It's nice to know people can come back from that.

RGRwfe= I have suffered with IBs for 15 years now. I use to have the diahrrea but now my problem is my intestines combined with food causes me gas that is trapped and will not let me have a bowel movement without taking a full blown enema. I am sick every day of my life with this if I eat anything but soup or dry potato or chicken. I also am lactose intollerant and cant take the probiotics, I tried to take it along with my lactose pills and that caused me alot more distress. My intestines feel like they are so swollen that they will explode, this along with the pain and cramping and all that goes with it, has got me so depressed.
I have lost 90 lbs in the last year from starvation, because its a choice of being sick and eating or starving and feeling better. So my IBS with the lactose problem is driving me crazy, cant get any kind of doc to help me. Do you know what kind of a doc I should seek out, been to my pcp and gastro doc and no help. Is there a pill for Ibs that would help me if anyone one has any idea I would greatly appreciate it...thanks....

Hi, Yes my GI prescribed SSRIs as well for my IBS: Zoloft. I am not sure if it helps. I lost my father last year and did not care about
my IBS and stopped taking my medications. After your post, I think I will adhere to the prescribed dose and pay attention. MY GI just prescribed Amiitiza for me. I am only on my third day. So I don't know how I'll do yet. Any way, about
that Citrucel tablet.
I use to drink the powder like every other day, but I stopped. It just makes me more bloated and gives more gas. Does the tablet cause gas and bloating. Please let me know.
Hello - IBS Sufferers. I have alot to share

Huh...my mom mentioned the other day about
upping the dosage on my Lexapro. I wonder if that would help. I was also thinking about
starting Citrucel, but am concerned about
gas and bloating. What dosage do you take and would you recommend starting out smaller? And thanks for your words of encouragement. It is so nice to hear that some people beat this stupid syndrome (they won't even let us call it a disease, even though it affects all our lives like one) and got to other side!

I have all the usual symptoms of IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhea; I have different results with the same food on different days. I do not have much pain or cramping however.
My main issue is that when I get bloated my stomach puts pressure on my diaphragm and on my lungs and I get out of breath. I can't walk 30 ft without having to stop to catch my breath. Forget about
stairs they are impossible.
When I have no IBS symptoms I can jog, run up two stairs at a time and do 90minute work outs at the gym with no problem
Does anyone else have these symptoms? I have checked my heart and lungs and they are normal.

The Conner family is back at it! A newly blonde Roseanne Barr received the best 62nd birthday gift of all when she was reunited with her TV kids during The Talk on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Co-host Sara Gilbert, who played Barr's daughter Darlene on the sitcom Roseanne from 1988 to 1997, introduced her TV siblings Michael Fishman (D.J. Conner) and Alicia Goranson (Becky Conner) to the stage. Barr — looking slimmer than ever — was completely shocked by the surprise as she tearfully embraced her former costars.
Both Goranson and Fishman shared fond memories of good times they've had with the comedian over the years. Goranson, in particular, had the audience laughing when she recalled the time Roseanne producers wouldn't let her cut her hair. Barr's response? "She grabbed the scissors and grabs my hair and chops it," the actress explained. "Roseanne goes, 'There, now you have to get it cut.'"
Barr also received a red velvet cake from The Talk ladies, and mentioned that her TV husband, John Goodman (Dan Conner), called her earlier that day to wish her a happy birthday. Laurie Metcalf (Jackie Harris) couldn't stop by the daytime talk show, but did send her well-wishes in a sweet video message.
"Hey Roseanne, happy birthday! I love you," Harris said. "I miss you and if you feel like it — you may have plans — give me a call after The Talk and I'll swing by the lot and pick you up and take you out to lunch."
For more on the reunion, and Fishman's special memory, watch the video above now!

...or what kinds of things to they have to get wrong, for you to send it back?
I was having lunch in Little Saigon and ordered pho with rare beef and tendon (no mistake in ordering, I'm sure - the waiter even repeated it back to me in Vietnamese AND English). I got rare beef and tripe, which I don't really like at all. But I ate it anyway, thinking in the moment that the entire bowl was probably going to go in the trash. It's not about money because this resto's not hurting for business, but I guess I weighed the conservation to the minor dissatisfaction of eating tripe and opted to eat the tripe.
On the other hand, if I order a steak medium rare to rare and get something medium to well, that's almost certainly going back. Obviously, I find a well done steak a lot yuckier than tripe. :P
When do you just suck it up and eat it? When do you send it back?

Anesthesiologists Join Campaign To Improve Surgical Care In Developing Countries
PRNewswire - Lifebox, a global not-for-profit organization, today announced that the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) has joined its campaign to provide life-saving pulse oximeters for operating rooms in developing countries around the world. ASA is the largest anesthesiology organization in the world, with 47,000 potential contributors to the Lifebox initiative. Their goal is to collect enough donations to meet 50 percent of the global need for pulse oximeters.
Pulse oximeters, a component of the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist, measure the level of oxygen in a patient's blood during anesthesia, sounding an early warning alarm if a patient is becoming short of oxygen, providing an opportunity to prevent brain damage, heart failure and in some cases death. ASA made pulse oximetry a standard of care for U.S. anesthesiologists more than 25 years ago. Recent statistics estimate that the number of operating rooms working without pulse oximetry ranges from 41 percent in Latin America, to 49 percent in south Asia, to 70 percent in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Lifebox has also received the support of other organizations, including the non-profit Smile Train, a key early funder and collaborator responsible for the donation of thousands of oximeters internationally.

CLT20 2013: Trinidad and Tobago vs Brisbane Heat - As it happened...
Zee Media Bureau
Brisbane Heat innings
Over 18.4 || Score 110
T&T defended their total of 135 runs quite successfully after Brisbane got all out at 110 runs in just 18.4 runs. T&T won the match by 25 runs. Strike bowler Rampaul bowled magnificently and took four wickets in just 3.4 overs and gave away just 14 runs. J Burns remained the highest scorer for Brisbane as he scored 45 runs.
AC McDermott b Rampaul 0 (1b)
NM Hauritz c Simmons b Rampaul 0 (1b)
BCJ Cutting run out 17 (10b)
CJM Sabburg c Bravo b Emrit 3 (5b)
JA Burns b Rampaul 45 (43b)
Over 15 || Score 85/4
In the 12th and 13th over Brisbane scored 12 runs each. But in the next over Christian got trapped in front of the wicket off Emrit. In the next over mystery spinner, Sunil Narine gave his team a double breakthrough when he first sent Lynn and then Hartley towards the pavilion, in the same over.
CD Hartley b Narine 3 (3b)
CA Lynn c Ramdin b Narine 4 (4b)
DT Christian lbw b Emrit 13 (13b)
Over 10 || Score 47/2
In the 9th over Brisbane collected 9 runs and in the next scored seven. JA Burns is on 19 and along with him Christian is at the crease, who is playing on 7.
Over 7.5 || Score 31/1
T&T are at a good position. Badree took the wicket of PJ Forrest in the 8th over, who scored 16 runs in 21 balls. Momentum is with T&T. But in a T20 match you never know. A good knock can change the fortunes. But at the moment T&T have the upper edge.
PJ Forrest c Ganga b Badree 16 (21b)
Play interrupted as the floodlights have gone off
Over 5 || Score 17/1
T&T bowlers are bowling at a tight line and not giving any easy runs to Brisbane. In the third over Rampaul gave his team the first breakthrough by sending back skipper Hopes to the pavilion, who only managed to score four runs. In first five overs Brisbane only managed to score 17 runs and even loss a wicket as well.
JR Hopes b Rampaul 4 (9b)
T&T innings
Over 20 || Score 135/9
Brisbane Heat bowlers bowled at a tight line and gave very few chances to T&T batsmen to cut loose. Ramdin was the highest scorer for T&T, who scored 48 runs in mere 38 balls, with the help of two sixes and four boundaries. Though in the last over Badree hit two sixes to take the teams score to a respectable total of 135 runs. McDermott took four wickets and gave just 37 runs in his four over quota to become the most successful bowler for his team. Bowlers have done their bid now the onus is on Brisbane Heat's batsmen to chase the total successfully.
D Ramdin c Lynn b Cutting 48 (38b)
RR Emrit c Hartley b McDermott 0 (1b)
SP Narine c Sabburg b McDermott 8 (11b)
Over 15 || Score 97/6
Hauritz gave a double blow to T&T. In the 11th over first he sent back Mohammed in the first ball and then S Ganga on the next and conceded just one run from the over. Christian too bowled a brilliant next over and leaked just one run. In the 13th over Hauritz once again bowed a tight line and given away just four runs. Christian took his first wicket in the next over in the form of N Pooran, who only managed to score 8 runs in 16 balls. Now the onus is on Ramdin to take his team to a fighting total. He is on 37.
N Pooran c Hartley b Christian 8 (16b)
S Ganga c & b Hauritz 0 (1b)
JN Mohammed c Burns b Hauritz 10 (15b)
Over 10 || Score 71/3
In the seventh over T&T crossed the mark of 50 runs. J Mohammed and skipper Ramdin are at the crease. Ramdin has to play captains knock here. First ball off the 8th over and Ramdin launched Hauritz towards the long on boundary for a maximum and collected 11 runs from the over. In last five overs T&T scored 33 runs without losing a wicket.
Over 5 || Score 38/3
In the first over bowled by the skipper James Hopes, T&T openers collected 10 runs. Lewis scored the first boundary of the innings in the fourth ball of the over towards on-side. In the next over Roach gave just 4 runs. But in the third Simmons hit three back-to-back boundaries off McDermott before giving his wicket to him in the next ball. In the next over Lewis collected two boundaries off Roach. But in last ball of the over Roach sent back DM Bravo towards the pavilion. In the fifth over McDermott collected another wicket in the form of E Lewis. Poor start for T&T as they have lost three wickets in first five overs.
E Lewis c Cutting b McDermott 19 (19b)
DM Bravo c Hartley b Roach 0 (2b)
LMP Simmons b McDermott 14 (7b)
Toss: James Hopes has won the toss and elected to bowl first.
Brisbane Heat are without Luke Pomersbach, Ryan Harris, Shane Watson, Mitchell Johnson and Thisara Perera. It would be a difficult task for them to beat T&T. S Narine will be the trump card for T&T.
James Hopes (c), Chris Hartley (wk), Joe Burns, Daniel Christian, Ben Cutting, Peter Forrest, Dominic Michael, Nathan Hauritz, Matthew Gale, Chris Lynn, Alister McDermott, Cameron Gannon, Alex Kemp, Kemar Roach, Chris Sabburg, Bradley Ipson

"For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Every day that we live on this earth, there is an unseen war raging. It is an epic battle of good versus evil, and the hearts of mankind are at stake. Sometimes we can sense the fighting, and sometimes we cannot…but either way, it is real and ongoing. Throughout the New Testament Christians are exhorted to be ready, to stand firm, to be strong, to never stop praying, to abide in Christ, and to have on the full armor of God.
This passage makes a comparison between the weapons used by God's people, and the weapons of the world. We do not fight in the same way, or for the same things. How are the weapons different? Ours are not carnal – they are not of the flesh. We do not depend on what worldly people do to advance the cause of Christ. Our dependence is not on eloquence, or talent, or education, or wealth, or beauty, or anything else external. While these things are not bad, they should not be the weapons in our hands.
The weapons we use have no inherent value or power in themselves. Their strength is from God alone. While Paul does not name these weapons specifically in this passage, he had written of them earlier in this letter to Corinth (2 Corinthians 6:6-7). Our weapons are true and pure. They come from God and they lead to Him as He accompanies them with His power to the hearts of those who hear the gospel.
How incredible, in this world that is literally deteriorating before our eyes and taking countless souls with it, that our ministry can be powerful and effective through the blessing of God and the influence of His grace and Spirit for the conversion of sinners, the building up of the Church, the defense of truth, and the enlargement of Christ's kingdom, not to mention the destruction of Satan's!
As a Christ follower, are you fighting faithfully for Christ's glory? If so, are you using the right weapons? You don't have to know all the answers and speak with eloquence and charm…you need only be willing and walking in God's Spirit.
Gracious LORD, Thank You for equipping me for every good work. Please help me to depend on You and fight using Your weapons and not anything of this world. And above all, help me to love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
How am I going to pay all of my bills this month? What if I lose my job? What if the biopsy results say I have cancer? What if something bad happens to my children or spouse? Will this economy ever turn around?
Questions like these plague our minds, and can become overwhelming. Anxiety and depression have reached an all-time high as the economy continues to be unstable and relationships continue to crumble. Facing each day can seem like an insurmountable mountain if our focus is on circumstances, and not on our God.
There is a defense for anxiety. Many would call it too simplistic…too idealistic for the problems of the world. It is these two words: thank you. Many of us bring our requests to God, begging Him to help us in the midst of tough circumstances. But, do we say "thank you?" It is almost impossible to worry and give thanks at the same time.
If you are alive, reading this, you have much to be thankful for, regardless of circumstances. Who gave you life this morning? Who keeps your heart beating and lungs breathing throughout this day? Who provided the clothes you wear, the food you will eat today or the clean water you will drink? Who caused the sun to rise, giving life to the earth? Who sends rain to water the plants so that life can flourish today?
Most importantly, Who has provided His Son as a sacrifice for our sins? God's extravagant grace is everywhere at all times. But we must choose to see it. God wants us to come to Him with our problems, but He also wants us to say thank you. And when we do, an incredible transaction happens. Anxiety is exchanged for peace…God's peace.
This is a choice we have every day. Will I continue to worry about things that may or may not happen, or will I choose to live in this moment and see all that God has given and to be grateful?
Lord Jesus, thank You for all of the good gifts that You give each day. Please forgive me for being ungrateful for Your grace and mercy. Please take away my anxiety and give me a spirit of thanksgiving as I go through this day. Amen.
"But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our sins; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:5-6
Pierced…crushed…punished…wounded…who could have known that God's sovereign plan would lead to those atrocities against His own Son? Jesus was not a victim. He was a willing participant in God's plan to redeem those He created for His glory. From Eve who first tasted sin and its consequences to those who drove the nails in His sinless hands – and for everyone in between and hereafter – that horrific day was necessary to satisfy the righteous, vengeful wrath of a holy God.
In God's wisdom He created man. In His justice He gave Adam a choice. And in His love that He gave us Immanuel – God with us. He who penned all of human history entered His own story. The Word became flesh. God knew every detail of what that decision would entail. The Creator had a choice; but He chose life, even though it meant death. And His desire is that each of us would do the same…choose life in His Son even though it means death to ourselves.
It is hard not to wonder why He would do such a thing. If He knew, "The end from the beginning" (Isaiah 46:10), why even say, "Let there be light"? Why start the whole mess in the first place? Have you ever wondered? If you have come to understand your sinfulness and God's holiness, you have likely pondered this question. I, however, would like to pose another question. Are you living the life Christ died to give you?
Considering what Christ endured, what the Father sacrificed, and what countless saints throughout the ages have died proclaiming, is the life you are living a display of His glory, goodness and grace? Is it joy-filled and abundant? Do you hate sin and love truth? Are you sacrificing for the spread of the Gospel? Are you grateful, humble and kind?
I believe these are questions worthy of our thought and conversation. God isn't interested in us understanding the "why" of His unfathomable plan. He is, however, greatly concerned with how we live today. Right now, this day, is God pleased with your life? This doesn't mean a perfect life; but it does mean a passionate pursuit of Christ.
Loving Father, I praise You for the sacrifice of Your Son. I will never fully know what He endured on the cross for my sins…but I do know I was the one who deserved Your wrath. I pray that each day I will grow deeper in faith and dependence on Your Spirit so that my life glorifies Your Son. It is in His name, Jesus Christ, that I pray, Amen.
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all men – the testimony given in its proper time." 1 Timothy 2:5-6
Ransom – What is given in exchange for another as the price of his redemption.
Salvation is not free. Redemption had a cost. We tend to forget that because we are not the ones who paid the price. Romans 6:23 says that the wages of sin is death. Much like the jobs most of us do each day, sin earns a wage, a payment. The wage that sin pays is death. And we have all been swallowed in debt.
Eternal life, therefore, is a gift. By definition, salvation cannot be a gift unless it is paid for. When someone gives you a birthday gift, it is not free…it is only free to you. The gift is purchased…paid for by the giver. Someone chooses to pay what he does not owe, not to keep the gift for him, but to give it to you. It is Jesus who paid our ransom.
The first choice to rebel against God earns sin's wage. At that moment, the sinner is spiritually kidnapped…and death is inevitable. Not just physical death, but spiritual death. Enmity with God is instantaneous. Sin holds us hostage, demanding the ultimate ransom…death.
It is an impossible situation. There is no negotiation, no compromise to be made. The ransom must be paid…and the sinner cannot pay it. The only hope is a mediator…one who can stand between God Almighty and the sinner. There is no one worthy. For all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. There is only one choice…but how can it be?
Then, one starry night the shepherds got the Good News. In the city of David, the Mediator was born – He is Christ the Lord. Angels rejoiced and shepherds worshiped. Wise men traveled and earthly kings plotted. Hope was born in a stable that night. Hope of reconciliation and freedom. Hope of life.
And 33 years later, the Mediator hung naked on the cross of our shame. He suffered and died in our place. He gave Himself as a ransom for our freedom. And now the gift of eternal life is offered freely for any who will believe, surrender and follow.
Dear Jesus, Thank You for offering Your life to set me free. You were and are my only hope for escape from sin's penalty and sin's power. I need You today as much as I ever have. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
"But whatever gain I had I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish in order that I may gain Christ." Philippians 3:7-8
It's easy to say we believe that Christ is the most important person in our lives…but if we truly believe that He is the only worthy pursuit, why do we chase after other things? This is a question I am pondering in my own life. The only answer I can come up with is that our eyes haven't been opened to see His greatness. Why is that?
The sad truth is that the Jesus that is preached today is often so uncaptivating, that countless believers are enthralled with other things. Once our eyes are opened to see the incredible richness and beauty of Jesus, either our other pursuits will take a backseat, or we will rediscover them in the light of His glory. Paul was a man who met Jesus on the road to Damascus and through physical blindness; his spiritual eyes were opened to the rich glory of Christ. His words in Philippians 3:7-8 illustrate this truth.
Paul's goal in his letter to the Colossians was to strip away every distraction that was being held before their eyes & leave them with nothing but Jesus. At that time they were facing some false teachings, especially about the supremacy of Christ. Paul believed if they could just get a glimpse of the glories of Christ, He would be enough. The same is true today. I believe that God wants His Church to exalt Christ. If we do, God will show us, or remind us, of the all-encompassing beauty of His Son Jesus.
Look at what God said to the Church at Ephesus in Revelation 2:
"I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for My name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first." Revelation 2:2-4
God is affirming the church for their perseverance and suffering. He commends them for not allowing false doctrine. But then He rebukes them. In their zeal for correct theology and their hard work for God, they lost their "first love", Jesus Christ, and the supremacy of loving Him and Him alone.
So I ask…in your striving to be faithful, to persevere, to make a difference, to serve God…have you lost the love you first had for Jesus and the supremacy of loving Him above all else? You may obey Christ, but do you also adore Christ? Do you live for His sake and nothing else? My prayer is that we will all be able to say that our hearts are fixed on Jesus and Jesus alone.
Father, Thank You for Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for sending Him as a sacrifice for my sins, and as an example of how to follow You and serve others. Please strip away every distraction in my life so that my heart is fixed on Him alone. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are one of the sweetest and most adorable couples in Hollywood. But, unfortunately their marriage has been plagued by various divorce and cheating rumours, and not even a year has passed since their marriage.
The actress has reportedly slammed all these speculations. At the same time, there are reports suggesting tension still lingers in the couple's relationship about plans for a second baby.
A couple of months ago, there was a huge buzz that Kutcher was cheating on his "That '70s Show" co-star when he was spotted walking out of a dingy massage parlour in Los Angeles. According to the reports, the place is full of small private rooms and is popular for offering special services like sexual favours to its customers.
It was not too long before Kutcher-Kunis divorce rumours hit the web, and there was a spool of stories that said Kunis was visiting lawyers and had filed for divorce. And now, despite all these speculations, Kunis has come forward to speak in defence of her husband and debunked all divorce rumours.
According to Master Herald, Kunis said her husband is loyal to her and never got any sexual favour from the massage parlour, and also, his visit to the parlour never upset her. She also said it was just blown out of proportion and she is happily married, and that both of them are doing great along with their daughter Wyatt Isabelle.
But new reports suggest the couple is still having issues, this time about deciding on a second baby, and are not on the same page. According to Jobs & Hire, the "Two and a Half Men" actor is apparently pressuring Kunis to have a second baby, while Kunis wants some more time before trying again.
"He's told her if she can't trust him, they can't be together. It doesn't help that they don't have the passion they did in the beginning of their relationship. The situation might implode," a source said.
"Ashton wants Mila to have babies back-to-back, so they can have a big family, but she wants to wait a while before trying again. She says being pregnant was more difficult and all-consuming than she expected," added the source.
Going by this report, it looks like Kutcher is pressuring Kunis for second baby only to win back her trust. But, we can't be sure how far all this is true.
