06 December | Special Notice #377: Reported outburst of the WZ Sge star AL Comae [3] |
December 6, 2013: Observer Carlo Gualdoni reports via the cvnet-outburst mailing list that the WZ Sge-type dwarf nova AL Comae is in outburst, with a magnitude of V=12.74 on 2013 December 6.185 (JD 2456633.1185). Gary Poyner notes on the BAAVSS mailing list that this is the first observed outburst of AL Com since October 2007. Both visual observations and CCD time series are encouraged. |
05 December | Admin Assistant Opening at AAVSO HQ [4] |
When Lauren Rosenbaum came to work with us as the AAVSO HQ Admin Assistant we knew it would be for a limited number of years while she attended graduate school. Wow, has the time flown by!!! In her time with us Lauren has become a crucial member of the AAVSO family. We will be so very sad to see her go, but she will be leaving us to take the next step in her career. We all wish her the very best! |

Eternal Significance
We want our students to be scholars on fire for the Lord. Our goal is to build a fire in their hearts and hone their minds, to prepare them to be the next generation of evangelical Christian scholars, church leaders and missionaries. Because professors in the School of Christian Studies have pastoral experience, we know what it's like to serve in churches and on the mission field, and we share those experiences with our students. We also know that whatever we can do to help shape a person into the image of Jesus Christ and for the work of the ministry is something that will last forever. It has eternal significance.
Dr. Doug Wilson Dean, School of Christian Ministries

Master of Arts in Linguistics: Forensic Linguistics
Program Director |
Graduate Students |
Professor Leonard, Graduate Program Director
(516) 463-5440
Email Robert Leonard
The Hofstra Graduate Program is the only degree program in Forensic Linguistics in the United States. There are such programs in the UK and in Spain, but until the Hofstra program, there have been no others in the US. At Hofstra, a student will train first and foremost to become a linguist, and learn the core tools and competencies – including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, dialectology and sociolinguistics – that serve as the base of all linguistics. Unlike other linguistics programs, wherever possible real life illustrations and teaching examples will be drawn from forensic applications, often from the extensive array of law cases originally analyzed by the Hofstra faculty.
Advanced courses will explore the specific application of linguistic science to cases involving criminal activity of all kinds, including extortion, bribery, murder, espionage, weapons of mass destruction, etc, as well as to civil cases of trademark protection, the meaning of contracts and statutes, and defamation. Students learn to critique common interrogation procedures and techniques from a linguistic point of view, and learn how to perform analyses that seek to establish common authorship of different sets of documents. In short, while they learn the science of linguistics, they also learn how to apply it to a multiplicity of issues in the real world – in this case, the legal arena.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Ha'azinu - R'vi'i
Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom
We Are Not Amused
"God was not amused by this, so He 'hid His face' from them so they'd see what life would be like without Him. They're a fickle people and they will frequently waver. They've 'cheated on' God with other non-gods before. He can do the same to them, by favoring a 'non-nation.'
"When God gets riled up, His anger will consume the land. The Jews will suffer repeated troubles, like a barrage of arrows. God was ready to annihilate the Jews once, but He refrained so that His Name would not be desecrated among the nations, who would credit their idols for 'overpowering' God. (As if!) These nations are foolish."

Short Sands Beach
Short Sands is a sandy pocket beach tucked between rocky cliffs in the village of York Beach, not far from picturesque Nubble Light. The quarter mile of beach is just right for spreading out a blanket and chairs and taking it easy in the summer sun, when you're not enjoying the wonderful swimming. Lifeguards are on duty during the peak summer months. A promenade walkway and Ellis Park are just above the beach and feature benches, a gazebo and shelter for rest and shade. There is also a basketball court and playground. Adjacent to the beach are gift shops, snack bars, restaurants, an arcade and bowling alley. There is metered parking in a municipal lot next to the beach, and restrooms and outside showers are available.
Hop on the trolley system of the Shoreline Explorer and take in the sights, shopping and restaurants along the coast from York Harbor to Kennebunkport. Nearby Cape Neddick ("Nubble") Light has watched over the entrance to York Harbor since 1879; a good vantage point to view the light is from Sohier Park in York Beach, where there is free parking. The whole family will enjoy a visit to York's Wild Kingdom, the largest zoo and amusement park in the area. Take a scenic drive up the auto road on Mt. Agamenticus for panoramic views of the southern Maine hills and coast.

Majesty and Misery
In July 2006 the Etape du Tour took in some of the monuments of road racing: the col d'Izoard and Lautaret plus the legendary Alpe d'Huez. We'll be riding 187km through the highest mountains of the Alps, a land of glaciers and waterfalls, cicadas and marmottes. These are wild lands, with tough people and big, capricious weather. It's going to be a hard ride and we will be tackling relentlessly epic terrain for the first time in many years. Forewarned is forearmed and, as ever, Etape riders are hungry for information about the route. So the Rapha team rode the course in late May to bring you this sneak preview.
This year's Etape route is hard. 187km with over 3000m of climbing. It's as difficult as the 2005 route, but with the 21 switchback hairpins and brutal 13km of the legendary Alpe d'Huez thrown in at the end! The high mountains present the ultimate challenge. The majesty of the surroundings impresses you throughout this year's route and can make you feel small and insignificant. The Etape is going to be a great physical challenge, but you can train for that. We think the challenge this year will be mainly psychological. Getting your head around the climbs, choosing where to put in the big effort, maintaining your confidence and focus when surrounded by high mountains all day and keeping your form when others are complaining and walking. More than ever, this Etape will be won in the mind as much as the legs.
On the actual Tour stage the Alpe d'Huez will get the most attention. This legendary climb at the finish will cast a long shadow over many Etape riders throughout the day. 'I'm climbing well, but there's still l'Alpe d'Huez…' 'I feel awful already and there's still l'Alpe d'Huez…'
Look at the gradient profile and l'Alpe d'Huez and the Col d'Izoard command attention. But we think the Col du Lautaret will prove to be decisive for many. It's only Cat 2 and many will dismiss it out of hand. Big mistake. It's not steep, but it's long and likely to be windy. There are still 60km to go and the col looks a long way off. The giant peaks are towering over you. It's here that the psychological battle will be won or lost. Our advice in a nutshell? Enjoy the Izoard, Focus on the Lautaret and then Endure the Alpe d'Huez.
The total parcours divides naturally into 6 different phases of riding, mirroring the changing gradient profile of the course. We've ridden and described each one in turn.
Please note, when writing this preview some details of the final race route had not been finalised by ASO. We're therefore unable to advise the exact location of Etape feed stations and if the route will take us through villages like Chorges and Guillestre (or whether it will bypass them on the main road).

Eating right can help your body recover faster. Most of you know that lean proteins are necessary to help the body recover from muscle damage.
However, other helpful foods include:
• Onions & Garlic: Full of sulfates, necessary for the healing of connective tissue.
• Cinnamon: It's an antibiotic that keeps your blood clean and able to carry nutrients.
• Ginger: Prevents the production of too much bad inflammation.
• Limes: Contain Flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.
B-2 also helps your nerves heal faster and can be found in dark-green leafy vegetables.
Avoid use of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and aspirin.
Every year over 16,000 people die from the side effects associated with these drugs. Using this drug will complicate the muscle rebuilding process, and eventually remove the protective lining of the stomach and the heart.

Chocolate Fountains
Fondue Dishes
Raclette Accessories
Replacement Pots
Cook's Tools
Fondue is a very popular dish, and it is easy to see why. The variety of flavors that can be combined in fondue pots is nearly endless, making it easy for anyone to create something they like. Restaurants that offer fondue have seen their clientele increase exponentially, but these places are very expensive, keeping their fondue far out of range for many people's budgets.
For fans of fondue, getting their own fondue sets is the best idea because it allows them to make this dish whenever they want it, and they don't have to spend much money. There are many different styles to choose from, so it should be easy for you to find exactly what you need in a form that you like.
There are three main types of fondue. Cheese is generally considered the oldest, most traditional, and most variable. This is just because of all the different types of cheeses and other ingredients that can make up the fondue, as well as the many things that can be dipped into fondue pots filled with cheese.
There is also meat fondue, which is wonderful as a main course. You can dip most popular meats into hot fondue oil, so you can find a lot of variety here as well. Most of the time this is served either after or alongside cheese fondue. But chocolate fondue is likely the most famous fondue. Chocolate fondue can be enjoyed in a couple ways, both of which are very popular. It can be made in fondue pots just like cheese fondue, or it can be served by way of chocolate fountain. While chocolate fountains are most commonly found at large functions and buffets, you can have a miniature one for your own home.
What kind of fondue you make will determine what kind of fondue sets you consider. Some are made to accommodate all three types of fondue, and others are only meant to make one type. So knowing what kind of fondue you intend to make will help you to choose the best set for you.
On top of the sets we offer, you can also look at the fondue accessories we offer to see if there is anything you can add to make your dining experience even better. Most sets come with either four or six skewers, but you can easy add to that number. You can also find replacement fondue pots, extra dishes, and fuel for your set. We do our best to provide everything you could possible need.
While you are checking out the many fondue options we offer, stop by our page of Raclette Grills. These grills are considered to be the latest trend in tabletop dining by many. There is no question that they are great for parties or large family dinners, and can be used by themselves or alongside other foods. Raclette Grills give each individual the opportunity to put together their own grilled creation, making it a wonderful way for everyone to get what they want out of the meal.
To make your fondue experience even better, we offer free shipping on all orders of over $100 dollars. This makes it even easier for you to get your fondue pots and fondue accessories quickly and while spending as little as possible.

U.S. President Barack Obama heads south of the border Thursday to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in the country's capital. Here are three key topics that are likely to be on the table, and a look at how the leaders and Mexicans have weighed in on those issues.
1. Trade and economic ties
The situation:
The United States is Mexico's largest trading partner, and Mexico is America's third-largest trade partner, after China and Canada. Imports and exports between the two countries totaled nearly $500 billion last year. Officials on both sides of the border have said they want economic relations to be a focal point during Obama's visit.
Obama's trip comes as Peña Nieto's government has said it's on the verge of pursuing reforms in the country's state-run oil company -- a politically divisive issue in Mexico and something U.S. and global investors are watching closely.
Obama's take:
"We spend so much time on security issues between the United States and Mexico that sometimes I think we forget this is a massive trading partner, responsible for huge amounts of commerce and huge numbers of jobs on both sides of the border," Obama told reporters on Tuesday. "We want to see how we can deepen that, how we can improve that, and maintain that economic dialogue over a long period of time."
Peña Nieto's take:
"We should reconsider greater integration of North America to achieve a region that is more competitive and capable of creating more jobs," Peña Nieto told Obama during a meeting at the White House in November.
Public opinion:
Most Mexicans think the deep economic ties between the two countries are good for Mexico, according to survey results released this week by the Pew Research Center. But when the 1,000 people surveyed in March were asked about the influence the United States currently has on economic conditions in Mexico, views were mixed. One-third of Mexicans say the United States is having a positive impact on national economic conditions in Mexico, while 28 percent think the United States is having a negative impact.
2. Immigration
The situation:
The United States and Mexico are bound by a border which has made for a dysfunctional relationship over the years, especially when it comes to immigration. However, both governments have the issue high on their list of priorities. In the United States, a bipartisan group of senators have proposed an immigration reform bill, with U.S.-Mexico border security at its foundation.
There are more than 11 million Mexicans living in the United States, including the 6 million estimated to be living there illegally as of 2010. But the migration rate from Mexico fell to zero in 2012, meaning the number of Mexicans coming to the United States -- and those going the other way -- was virtually identical.
Obama's take:
"We've got to have more effective border security; although it should build on the great improvements that have been made on border security over the last four or five years," Obama said in a news conference this week. "We should make the legal immigration system work more effectively so that the waits are not as burdensome, the bureaucracy is not as complicated, so we continue to attract the best and the brightest from around the world to our shores in a legal fashion."
Peña Nieto's take:
"We fully support your proposal for this migration reform," Peña Nieto told Obama in November. "More than demanding what you should do or shouldn't do, we do want to tell you that we want to contribute. We really want to participate with you. We want to contribute toward the accomplishment, so that of course we can participate in the betterment and the well-being of so many millions of people who live in your country."
Public opinion:
According to the Pew Research Center, Mexicans are divided on whether this is good or bad for their country; 44 percent say it's good for Mexico that many of its citizens live in the United States, and an equal share say this is bad for Mexico.
And, perhaps the most surprising find from the study said that 61 percent of Mexicans would not move to the United States even if they had the means to do so. However, 35 percent say they would move to the United States if they could, including 20 percent who say they would emigrate without authorization.
A little less than a third of the Mexicans questioned (30 percent) say they personally know someone who went to the United States but returned to Mexico because the person couldn't find work, according to the Pew Research Center. About a quarter (27 percent) know someone who has been deported or detained by the U.S. government for immigration reasons in the last 12 months.
3. Security and the drug war
The situation:

Nutella Marshmallow Turnovers for World Nutella Day
Today I'm excited to be participating in World Nutella Day for the first time! Thanks to Sara & Michelle, February 5 is the day to celebrate a love of all things Nutella. I don't remember ever having had Nutella until a few years ago, but I'm so glad to have finally discovered it. You can spread it on toast, bake with it, or even eat it straight from the jar with a spoon - it's delicious in every instance!
There are a world of Nutella recipes collected over on Nutella Day's site and I considered many of them for today's post but in the end, something else caught my eye - a unique twist on turnovers created by Jenny over on Picky Palate. She used puff pastry, Nutella and marshmallows to bake a simple, yet decadent treat and I knew there was very little chance that combining those ingredients could result in anything but a yummy snack.
I can never leave well enough alone, so I complicated the recipe a little by making my own puff pastry instead of using a store-bought version. Next week I'll show you exactly how I made the puff pastry but for today we're just going to focus on the turnovers. They start with a square of puff pastry. A dollop of Nutella is spread in the center (15 seconds or so in the microwave makes the Nutella easier to spread) and then topped with a few mini marshmallows. To finish the turnover, fold the puff pastry over and crimp the edges with a fork - it's as simple as that.
[Shane wanted me to make sure I gave him credit for serving as my hand model in this shot :) ]
Some of my turnovers popped open in the oven, but regardless of the way they looked, they were all delicious! The marshmallows almost melt in the oven so you're just left with a gooey, Nutella-flavored filling in the buttery, flaky puff pastry. The turnovers were equally yummy warm from the oven and at room temperature. You could probably even prep them ahead of time, pop them in the freezer and bake them off at your convenience.
Jenny has detailed instructions on her site so head over there to find those, as well as some great photos!

@Jenn - Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread. Its consistency is similar to that of peanut butter. Hope you get a chance to give it a try!

Um, yes please! I found you on Pinterest and I am totally in love with these turnovers! :)

@ash - If you click over to Jenny's site (linked at the bottom of my post), she has instructions for baking these turnovers.
- September 18, 2012 at 1:54 PM
Hello hello,
I just wanted to ask if the marshmallows don't change the taste of nutella anyhow?
Because as for me, nutella is soooo tasty that I wouldn't like to mix it wwith any other sweet flavours ;)
Thanks for your help ;) - January 16, 2013 at 4:14 AM

What to expect from Woodland Direct
When you shop with Woodland Direct, you can trust that your experience will be simple and hassle free, no matter which shipping method your package is transported by.
Ground Shipments
All standard ground shipments are transported by way of FedEx or UPS. Because we are committed to fast shipping and use reliable carriers, the majority of our products are delivered six days a week.
Standard Freight
The majority of freight products ship on standard pallets. Your item may be shipping on a pallet for several reasons. Most products that ship freight are either too heavy or too large dimensionally for ground shipment. However, some are light but fragile, and require extra care in handling.
After placing your order, the shipping company will contact you to schedule a time to drop off your delivery. For this reason, it's extremely important to provide your main contact number at the time of check out.
Our complimentary liftgate service is available for many of our standard pallet items. This platform is installed at the rear of the truck to expedite the process of unloading your package. The driver will take your delivery off the truck for you, but it is your responsibility to bring it onto your property. Please take a few minutes to examine the exterior of your package for any visible damage. In the unlikely instance that you recognize damage, remember to note it on the Proof of Delivery (POD) slip that you'll receive from the driver.
Oversized Item
When purchasing an extra-large freight item that exceeds liftgate limitations, you'll need to contact an outside service organization to rent a forklift. If you have any questions regarding the delivery of your product, the members of our team will be happy to guide you through the process.
| Ships Within:
Although it is our goal to get your products to you by Christmas, delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees. Please allow ample time to receive your order. If it is urgent that you get your order by a specific day, please call and speak with a sales representative at 800-919-1904 to ensure the quickest service possible.
To be considered a business day, orders must be placed by 3:00PM EST. Monday - Friday. Backordered or Out of Stock items may not arrive by Christmas.

Circulos de Paz and the promise of peace: Restorative justice meets intimate violence
Circles of Peace/Circulos de Paz was founded in Nogales, Arizona in 2004 to address these myriad problems with both the criminal justice response to intimate violence and Batterer Intervention Programs. Circles of Peace is the first court-referred domestic violence treatment program to use a restorative justice circle approach to reduce violent behavior in families in the United States.
The program consists of twenty-six to fifty-two weeks of conferences, or "Circles," bringing partners who have been abusive (the "applicants") together with willing family members (including those who have been abused, the "participants"), support people, a trained professional facilitator, and community volunteers. The goal is to encourage dialogue about the incident, the history of violence in this family, and meaningful change.

"No one can scare us off," he said.
Erdogan delivered his message to a supportive crowd, amid a carnival atmosphere and heavy police security. During his comments, some of his supporters waved the red-and-white Turkish flag as well as the orange, white and blue flag of Erdogan's AK Party.
The festive mood contrasted sharply with the scene here overnight, when Turkish riot police sprayed rowdy anti-government demonstrators with water cannon and fired tear gas at them, arresting nearly a dozen people in the third consecutive night of clashes in the capital.
Erdogan vs. protesters
The unrest began nearly 500 kilometers (311 miles) away, in Istanbul, nearly three weeks ago, when a small group of people turned out to protest government plans to bulldoze the city's Gezi Park and to replace it with a shopping mall housed inside a replica of a 19th-century Ottoman barracks.
Protesters said the plans represented a creeping infringement on their rights in a secular society.
Turkey was founded after secularists in the early 20th century defeated Islamic Ottoman forces, and many modern-day secularists frown on Ottoman symbols.
The protests broadened into an outpouring in the square and throughout the country as security forces cracked down on demonstrators. The images, seen worldwide on social media and TV, sparked criticism around the world as well as in Turkey, a NATO member and a U.S. ally.
The unrest also signaled political danger for Erdogan, a populist and democratically elected politician serving his third term in office.
Erdogan has been criticized -- even by his allies -- for using heavy-handed tactics in his governance and for trying to impose changes without first seeking public input. The park plan represented the final straw for many Turks, who accuse the government of trying to impose its will whenever and wherever it wants.
On Friday, Erdogan met with protesters in Ankara and then said he would suspend plans to build the mall in Istanbul pending a court decision on the protesters' objections to its construction.
If the judicial ruling is not in line with what Gezi protesters want, a popular vote will be held.
Erdogan also agreed to investigate claims of excessive use of force by police during the protests, some of which have turned violent.
Tayfun Kahraman, a city planner speaking on behalf of the Taksim Solidarity protest movement, thanked Erdogan and his ministers for accepting their demands for a meeting.
"We will closely follow his promises and the process. Unfortunately, four people died in the incidents. We still feel the pain of their death."
Despite conciliatory statements from both sides, protesters defied the pleas of their prime minister and remained encamped Saturday in the park where the demonstrations started 19 days ago.

1 cup fresh corn (2 ears), or frozen
2 small crookneck squash or zucchini
1/3 c. red bell pepper
1 carrot
1/2 small yellow onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 c. cauliflower cut into small florettes
1/2 block extra firm tofu (or fried tofu)
1/4 c. soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
fresh ground pepper
parchment paper
Cut tofu into bite-sized cubes and put into bowl. Add soy sauce and sesame oil. Gently toss and let sit to marinate.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If using fresh corn, cut from cob; if frozen, thaw and drain. Slice squash into 1/4 inch rounds. Slice red bell pepper. Slice carrot into matchsticks or 1/8" rounds. Thinly slice onion and garlic.
Bring 1 cup of water to boil in small sauce pan. Gently drop cauliflower florettes into boiling water for 1 minute. Drain.
Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper to approx. 24"x30". Fold in half, and with scissors, cut each into a circle. Place flat circles of parchment on a baking sheet. Divide all ingredients onto 1/2 of the round sheets of parchment, leaving 2" free around the edges. Add the tofu last and drizzle with soy sauce/sesame oil marinade. Sprinkle with fresh pepper. Fold the other half of the parchment over the ingredients, and starting at 1 end, fold and roll the edges all around to the other side, sealing in the veggies and tofu.
Brush or spray top of parchment packets with water. Bake until veggies are cooked, yet still a little firm, approx 20-25 min. Transfer packets to plates and serve, cutting large cross or T in the top at the table.
Note: You can substitute any other vegetables, just be sure that they require relatively the same amount of cooking time, or pre-boil veggies that need more time. You can also substitute chickpeas for the tofu.
Thanks Jennifer, and good luck! Readers, give Jennifer a thumbs up if you like this recipe!

I am a vibrant woman, 73 yrs old and put this pantry together on my own. Directions were very easy to follow and I will enjoy this piece as it is of quality that I expected.
This piece works out perfect for my needs, it holds all my baking stuff with room in the bottom for my kitchen aid mixer and another larger kitchen appliance. It's great to have everything at your fingertips and the middle drawer is perfect for rolls of foil, plastic wrap etc. The distressing is obviously machine done, but the piece is nice and solid, I'm very pleased.
Great product overall. There were a few missing drilled holes when we put it together, but it wasn't that big of a deal. The middle drawer catches when it is opened/closed. BUT other than that, it is a great product and looks great.
I got this on sale. I like the overall look in my kitchen, not as white as the pic on the site though. If you like the antique look furniture, go for it! It will be much faster to get it together if you have a extra hand. Overall, I give it 4 stars because I am not really into distressed finish furniture. I guess I didn't pay an attention when I was ordering it. But I will keep it!
We received the pantry in the expected time frame and everything was in the box; nothing was broken. We got it up and the only problem we had was that we could not get the doors to exactly align. This does not keep the doors from opening and closing, just a cosmetic issue. I was a bit disappointed with that aspect. However, in general I am pleased with the product. It is a nice looking pantry for the money.
Bought 3 pantries. Love how they look. Excellent quality
Materials are good but smell like a rotten lemon or citrus of your choice. It isn't white which was a bad fit for my kitchen. To try to return this monster would be an insurmountable project so it is here. Stuck with it. Thank you Overstock for telling me the thing was white when it isn't!
This kitchen pantry was easy to put together, I did it by myself. I have it in my kitchen and it looks really nice. There is plenty of space to store food and whatever else needs to go into a kitchen pantry.
I read the description AND the reviews of this product. It is advertised as high quality wood. This is not the case. It is medium quality. I think I could have found something comparable for about ***. Paying over *** for this product makes me very upset. I regret purchasing it. Were it not already assembled, I would return it for a refund. Do not buy this unless they have it priced at *** or less. It is a cute pantry..but certainly not high-end.
Decent pantry for the money. Looks nice in kitchen and provides ample storage for items I removed from an under-counter cabinet to install a dishwasher in our winter home. The drawer does not fit flush on one side and none of the adjustments I tried corrected that. Other than that, I'm pretty much satisfied with this purchase. Overstock had the best price for this product at the time I bought it (although **** now has it at a lower price).

Our greatest assets for the future
By GARY ANDREWS
Our greatest assets for the future are our today's youth. We, as adults, have the responsibility to nurture and train our youth in values, morals, integrity, responsibility, ethics and optimism.
There is a Chinese Proverb that goes like this; "All the flowers of all the tomorrow's are in the seeds of today."
I am a product of the sixties and the hippie movement. I saw first-hand when the youth of the country starting rebelling against all authority and renouncing all they were ever taught. If it feels good do it! That was the saying of the day and most of the sixties youth participated in it.
Probably some of the problems we are experiencing today are because of the training the youth of the sixties have given their own teenagers of today. Times have changed. We as parents of today may have waited too late to realize that we don't have the answer to every problem and that just possibly our parents were smarter that we thought.
A lot of problems in society today are because of our low morals, unethical values, lack of discipline, and no desire for what the future holds. Maybe our parents didn't care enough to discipline us in the ways we needed it most. Remember what King Solomon told us in Proverbs 13:24; "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him."
Now that we are parents and the adults trying to maintain a trouble free environment for our children, we wish that our younger years could have been more of listening and learning instead of rebelling and doing what felt good.
For me, I am an optimist. I don't feel it is too late to pave a good road for a brighter future for the young people of America and the world. We need to bring our morals and ethics up to standard and then pass on to our children the idea of doing things right the first time. We need to act and talk positive. Let's be more energetic about the future and teach them the values of what life should be about.
More optimism and good positive feedback is what our youth need. They need to feel good about themselves and the road they are travelling on. They need to have sense of direction and a destination that will provide them a safe comfort zone when they have achieved it. Let's teach them the difference between right and wrong!
Even though we can't correct the mistakes we have made in our past we can help someone younger than we are from making the same mistakes. It is up to us as to what the future holds for America and the entire world. The seeds that we are planting today determine how pretty and bright the flowers of tomorrow are going to be!
Prayer: Thank you Father for all you have allowed me to have. Help me seek your face in all that I do for without you I am nothing. Help me to be a good example for our youth today and to teach them about you and your Saving Grace. Amen.
