Rolled Up Sleeve - Living An Authentic Life
Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
James McGuiggan is a writer from Northern Ireland whose books have challenged my life. He wrote a book called Jesus, Hero of Thy Soul in which he says,
"Having seen Jesus, knowing how He has lived His life here, we can't settle for less than a genuine pursuit of His likeness. His very presence among us forbids us from being just 'nice'people who do 'nice' things. . . . The bland leading the bland, both falling into a 'nice' rut."
That statement is a wonderful introduction to the theme of this lesson: how we live our life in this world.
For many people, the only human image or likeness of Jesus Christ may be you or me. Therefore, it matters how close our lives manifest His.
John 13-17 constitutes the Upper Room Discourse, the last extended teachings and conversation Jesus had with His disciples before His crucifixion. His public ministry is over and He is conveying things that were only for the ears of His disciples.
Part of Jesus' teaching in John 13:1-8 was acted out by Him in a drama of sorts-a live demonstration of what it means to roll up one's sleeves and serve others. That is the message we must take into the world if people are going to see Jesus when they see us.
A Persuasive Initiative for Rolled-Up Sleeves
- Love was at the center of Jesus' serving His disciples-at the center of everything He did. He "loved His own. . . to the end" (John 13:1).
John 13:1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
- If we are going to serve others, our motivation must be the same as His: love.
- "To the end" is a Greek expression that refers not to time but to extent. Jesus loved His disciples with the full extent of His love; He loved them to the uttermost He loved them unconditionally.
Love is a central theme in the gospel of John. The majority of the uses of the word "love" in the New Testament come from the pen of the apostle John. And it is fitting that love introduces the Upper Room Discourse in John 13:1 and concludes it in John l7:26. Perhaps the most famous of Jesus' words on love are in the context of the "new commandment" He gave the disciples to "love one another" (John 13:34-35).
- Loving one another is not easy-some have called it the hardest from people who make themselves unlovable by their behavior or attitudes.
- Regardless, we are called to roll up the sleeves of our heart and love them anyway with a Christ-kind of love.
- In the Upper Room, Jesus washed the feet of Peter who denied Him three times, and Judas, who betrayed Him. That is the model we are to follow
- When we ask "How?" the answer is "as I have loved you" John 13:34).
- The "love of God" that "has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit" is the source of our love for others
Romans 5:5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
- It is not we who love, but Christ who loves in and through us.
Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
There's a movie called The Princess Bride in which the fair maiden Buttercup, has a servant named Wesley. Whenever she asks him to do anything for her, his reply is always the same: "As you wish; as you wish." One day she discovers that when Wesley says, "As you wish" what he really means is, "I love you."
And that's the way it is with Jesus and His followers. When we say, "As you wish" out of obedience as servants of Christ, we are saying, "I love You, Lord." When we love Him, we are motivated to love others as He has loved us
Some PracticalInsights About Rolled-Up Sleeves
Service to others will accomplish good for the person(s) served, but it will accomplish two things in your life as well.
- Rolled-Up Sleeves Will Test Your Authenticity
In John 12:36, there is an interesting sentence:
"These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them."
- The point is that Jesus left the public eye and went into seclusion with His disciples in the Upper Room.
- He didn't wash the disciples' feet on national television;
- He didn't hold a press conference to announce what He was doing.
- Serving His disciples outside the public's view was a testimony to the authenticity of the act.
- There is nothing wrong with letting others see our good works:
Matthew 5:1-6 When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
- The point is that we are not to do them for that reason.
Matthew 6:1-8 "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. "So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. "But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. "When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. "And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. "So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
- We can get our reward from men or from God.
- If we seek to get our reward from men by doing our good works in their sight there will be no reward from God.
- We can have our reward now or have it later, and the choice we make will reveal the authenticity of our service for God.
- Rolled-Up Sleeves Will Teach You Humility
- The second thing that true service will do is teach us humility.
- John the apostle tells us that Jesus knew:
- The second thing that true service will do is teach us humility.
"the Father had given all things into His hands" and that He was "going to God" (John 13:3).
- Yet He was the one who stooped down to take on the role of a servant and wash His disciples' feet.
- His humility is contrasted plainly with the disciples' behavior during that last Passover meal
- They were engaged in a "dispute" among themselves as to which of them was the greatest (Luke22:24).
Luke 22:24And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.
- Can you imagine? The disciples were there to share a meal with the greatest person on earth who was about to wash their feet as an act of humble service-and they were arguing about who among them was the greatest!
- The Bible tells us were to be clothed with humility
Colossians 3:12 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;
Someone has written
"If most believers of this generation were clothed in their own humility, they would be arrested for indecent exposure."
Samuel Logan Brengle was a Methodist minister who left a busy pastorate to join the Salvation Army in England in 1878; William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, almost wouldn't accept him into the corps saying, "You've been your own boss too long" To test Brengle's humility, Booth assigned him the task of polishing the other trainees boots. Later, telling his own story Brengle said he wondered, "Have I followed my own fancy across the Atlantic in order to black boots?' And then, as in a vision he saw Jesus bending over the feet of rough unlettered fisherman washing their feet. "Lord," he cried out in his heart, "You washed their feet I'11 black their boots."
- In the eyes of Jesus, the way down is the way up. True greatness only comes on the heels of true humility. I remember having thoughts akin to those of Brengle when I pastored my first church. (David Jeremiah's personal example)
The seven families that constituted our church met in two doublewide trailers. I arrived in the winter and discovered I was not only expected to be the pastor but the plumber as well. Lying under those trailers wrapping the water pipes so they wouldn't freeze and break, I remember thinking, "Lord, is this why I spent four years in seminary-to do this?" And His answer was a simple, "Yes-that and more."
- All of us have to learn that humility is a prerequisite to true service. And, in due course, God gives all who follow Jesus the opportunity to learn that lesson.
A Powerful Illustration of Rolled-Up Sleeves
In verses 4-5,we have the powerful illustration of Jesus' humble service:
John 13:4-5 got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
It was the custom in that day for dinner guests to recline on the floor around a low table, or a spread of vessels of food placed on the floor. So the disciples' feet would not have been under a table as they would be in a modem dining setting. Jesus took the basin of water and towel and began to go around the perimeter of where they were reclining, washing the feet of each in turn-the work of the lowest slave in a household.
- The disciples understood the role Jesus was taking role washing the dust of the streets off their feet. The One they called Master and Teacher and Lord was doing something they themselves had never and probably would never, have done for each other.
- After Jesus finished His humble task, He sat down among them and asked them a question-a question that leads us to some applications for our life from what He did:
"Do you know what I have done to you?" (verse 12)
Some PersonalInstructionsConcerning Rolled-Up Sleeves
There are three insights to be gleaned from Jesus' demonstration to His disciples, insights we must understand if we are to roll up our sleeves in this world as He did.
- Knowledge Produces Accountability
- Verses 12 through 14 teach us that our knowledge of something produces accountability.
- The word "ought" near the end of verse 14 is a key word in this point
- Verses 12 through 14 teach us that our knowledge of something produces accountability.
"You also ought to wash one another's feet."
- The knowledge of who Jesus was and who they were, and the fact that He washed their feet in spite of the gulf that separated them, made them accountable to do the same for each other.
- Example increases Responsibility
- In verses 15-16, Jesus takes it a step farther:
"For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him."
- His disciples would never be able to say they didn't know how or what to do in terms of service. They had seen the ultimate example of humility before their very eyes and were therefore responsible to do the same.
- Obedience Determines Authenticity
- The key to the issue of humble service is in verse 17:
"If you know these things [the things I have taught you by washing your feet], blessed are you if you do them." Jesus didn't say, "Blessed are you if you think about them, marvel at them, talk about them after I'm gone, or tell your grandchildren about them." He said, "Blessed are you if you do them."
- Blessedness in the Christian life comes from obedience.
- Authenticity comes from following the steps and commands of Jesus.
- How will the world get an authentic picture of Jesus if we, His followers, do not do the things He did-and told us to do? It's easy to get a vicarious blessing out of reading a story like this one, and there's nothing wrong with that.
- But if we stop there, we will miss the greater blessing that comes from doing what Jesus said to do.
- Much of modem societies' energy is spent in the pursuit of happiness. But the longer I walk with the Lord, the more I realize that happiness isn't found in pursuing it. Happiness is a by-product, so to speak of obedience to God. Blessedness (happiness) comes from God when we align ourselves with Him and His plan for our life-and part of that plan is being an ambassador for Jesus Christ (Ephesians 6:20), revealing His life to the world.
Ephesians 6:20for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
- Part of revealing Christ to the world is the responsibility to be a servant, just as He was.
- And it is in serving others that happiness is found. What could provide a greater blessing than meeting the needs of others-especially those who have no way to make do for themselves or cannot repay your service. That's the way Jesus served and the way we are to serve as well.
- The story of Jesus' washing the disciples' feet can get under our skin; indeed, it should get under our skin!
- There's something contrary to human nature about serving other people in such a humbling manner. But that's the whole point, isn't it?
- There's nothing in this world that would motivate us to serve in such a manner.
- But if we are going to follow Jesus, we are going to have to be pricked and challenged and made uncomfortable. We are going to have to deny ourselves, like Jesus did, and experience the discomfort that comes when Jesus does things through us that we would not normally do ourselves. But then we get to enjoy the blessing that follows.
- Every Christian knows someone who needs a special touch from the Lord.
- You can probably think of someone right now in that category. Perhaps you passed someone this week with whom you didn't want to make eye contact because you knew they needed help and you felt too busy or to awkward to stop and offer a helping hand or word.
- What we learn from Jesus' example with His disciples is that we have to stop and help. Jesus said, "Blessed are you if you do [acts of service like I have just demonstrated to you."
- There may be someone in your neighborhood or a coworker who is going through a difficult time.
- It's difficult to reach out to people we don't know all that well.
- But think of the number of people Jesus served and helped who were complete strangers.
- All it takes is for us to get past our fears and reach out in order to find ourselves representing Jesus to the world.
- Take a look at your own sleeves today. Are they neatly starched and buttoned or are they rolled up, making your hands free to become the hands of Jesus to a hurting world?

Shadows of Yesterday
Front Cover
Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects.
The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.
~ Elie Wiesel KBE - Romanian-born Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Holocaust survivor, and Nobel Laureate (1986)
Much has been written about Occupied Europe in WWII and the harrowing pain and suffering endured by the countless victims of that so-called Great Humanitarian - Man.
I have no first-hand knowledge of the experience - being born at WWII's end - but I have been told many tales of an ordinary Danish family and how dramatically their lives changed, when their tiny country of Denmark was occupied overnight by German troops in 1940.
I have chosen the anniversary of the capitulation of the German troops to the Allies - on 5th May, 1945 - to begin the release of this chronicle of one small family's wartime experiences. After those sad years of deprivation and fear, the people all over Occupied Europe were free. The joy was unimaginable - as was the relief to be survivors - against all odds.
This is my proud tribute to two of the finest 'ordinary' heroes I've known - my parents-in-law, Wanda and Harry Larsen. How blessed to have such as these two amongst our role models. I am thankful to have the skill to be able put together just a few of the wonderful tales of this testing period of their lives.

PART ONE - The Nightmare Begins
Bizarre - the strange beauty waiting to be found in the shadows of yesterday.
Unexpected shades of light and dark eternally highlight the best and worst of mankind.
- Christine Larsen 2017
The Shadows Deepen Swiftly
Fathers throughout history have prayed for sons who'd be strong enough to understand and accept their weaknesses and find strength to face their fears; to hold heads high in defeat, and be fair and forgiving in victory.
Danish fathers in the Occupation of Denmark were no exception. They could only hope their own acts of defiance would inspire their sons' courage, as guttural announcements with bald statements naming the latest countries to fall victim to Hitler's war machine filled their ears.
On the quarter hour the regular broadcast was hijacked, and the streets filled with the painful messages from the loudspeakers unexpectedly installed on most street corners. The listeners couldn't believe their ears. Surrendered? Simply surrendered? Must be someone's idea of a joke… surely? Some 'tut-tut-ed' in the belief they understood and empathised. Many shook their heads in disbelief, while older, more world-wise faces wore sad acceptance. Their tightened mouths and eyes showed they already possessed a knowledge; an understanding what 'Occupation by the Enemy' could mean.
In a miserable six hours the unthinkable happened - WWII's briefest campaign found the proud little country, Denmark, under Hitler's iron fist. With a population of less than four million, the Occupation rolled through their birthright in a night, with a concerted takeover by land, sea and air. Bravely accepting their fighting limitations, Danish leaders trusted the German vows to occupy and rule with the lightest hands and the least disruption to normal life IF they received full co-operation in return.
Norway's major iron ore deposits and well-equipped shipping ports, tucked safely in the endless fjords tucked amongst their beautiful mountains plunging deep into the sea, were always the glittering prize, to be achieved at minimal cost. Denmark was simply in the way. With its border along northern Germany, it quickly became the obvious choice to control the small and scattered Danish defence units and forge ahead to the Norwegian goal. The bonus would be replenishing supplies from the productive local farmers along the way. In a mere six hours, Denmark knelt under Hitler's rule - or so he believed. The country? Yes. The Danish people's hearts and souls? Never!
As the war machine rolled into town, the Danes lined the streets - at first timidly after the thunderous night of numerous war planes flying long and low above their cities and homes. There'd been no bombing, so the tremulous hope began in the hearts of the people; maybe they would be well cared for; maybe their co-operation would buy precious time.The Germans said… well, many things, actually.
A reluctant awe was born and grew, along with fear of the uniforms and metal helmets and the military discipline filling the once peaceful thoroughfares. An amazing array of weaponry followed those heavily armed soldiers marching stoically and threateningly to their own beat; closely followed by army tanks looming high over the bystanders, rumbling threateningly along on their great mechanical treads through streets long accustomed to bicycle wheels and feet.
Other crowds filled with the identical awe and fear were repeated at the docks as the warships and submarines emerged, complete with their uniformed and strictly disciplined crews… and at the airports, where spectators first viewed the fighter planes designed to strike terror into hearts and souls, and countless other planes with foot soldiers in unimaginable numbers pouring from the great maw of the troop carriers.
At first it was awesome beyond belief. Hope burgeoned that promises of peace within the 'Occupation' constraints would be true. But history repeats itself - with truth eternally the first victim of war - and this small country's Occupation by the enemy was no exception. As reality emerged, the people began to revolt. Their ways and means were amazing and I am proud to be able to record (second-hand), the few precious memories my parents-in-law shared, along with whatever I've been able to research.

Hire young creative, pay them and teach them to be productive, engaged workers.
Modeled partly after Boston-based Artists for Humanity, the summer jobs are intended to provide paid work experience, new creative skills – and an understanding of how to be a focused, productive employee and artist. Some may gain experience working directly with Mint clients; others learn a bit about how art fairs work.
In 2016, Mint hired four young people through Grow Detroit's Young Talent, the city's summer youth employment program, who painted, created coloring pages and a short video, helped with a Little Free Library and spent a day working at the Belle Isle Art Fair. In 2017, we hope to hire five young people and be hired by a second corporate client to provide creative services.
Many of the paintings created by our summer workers are donated to an array of local charities through Mint's Paint Detroit with Generosity campaign.
We have hired all our artists / apprentices / workers for summer 2019 - about 11 youth from Detroit. Visit them and see work in progress at our Summer Open House on July 25!

Simon "Frizz" Frizzell sneaks away to the rodeo on weekends, and it's not until after he wins a buckle that he tells his parents about his bull-riding. He knows they won't approve of his choice of sport, but his parents own a Christian bookstore, and he couldn't possibly tell them the whole truth: he's gay. And so are some of his rodeo friends, like Dante and Ryan, and Jacky—a young man he wishes could have been more than a one-night stand. When Simon sets his sights on his dreams, he finds work with Dante and Ryan, and bumps into Jacky on the job.
Jacky Douglas is a rodeo fanatic, plain and simple. He loves the ride, and he loves the cowboys. He fell hard for Frizz when they met, and theirs was a one-night stand made in heaven. When they meet again, Jacky thinks it's a stroke of luck. Frizz takes some convincing, but once he's on board, they begin a relationship. The fledgling romance faces a challenge when news of it travels all the way to the one place Frizz doesn't want it to go: his parents' bookstore.
I simply love reading about these Bullriders, especially as the story of Dante and Ryan continues on to this second installment, A Daring Ride. This one features Ryan's best friend, Jacky, who I learned to like in that first book. Here he is just the same Jacky, a devil-may-care kind of guy who has a soft spot for anything in chaps and rides bulls. He meets Simon, an up-and-coming young bull rider who fate drops on their table at a bar when no other seats were available. Sparks fly between Jacky and Simon although for the latter, it was innocent as he really was an innocent gay man.
Simon is a sweet guy who was lovingly raised by conservative parents and who loves his younger siblings to the point of becoming a second father. He knows just how to take care of them, he knows how to deal with them and despite the age differences, he is best friends with all of them. What no one in the family knows is that Simon has been hiding a secret and feeling guilty about said secret for a long, long time.
After finally convincing his parents his need to bull ride, he goes off to work for Dante and Ryan and in the process, gets to know Jacky, his bosses and himself. It is at this ranch that Simon finally gets to come into terms with who he really was. The romance with Jacky is rekindled, finally flaring and they fall in love. However, there is still the problem of his parents.
The romance between Simon and Jacky was a great read for here we have an innocent and a hound dog who find each other and ultimately teach each other their ways to accepting each other. I loved how their personalities grew, too. Initially, Jacky was a flighty guy and Simon was too rigid in his conservativeness. As the reading progressed, so did their emotional growth, their personalities improved and their characters grew into mature men.
The whole book does not have the feel of the first one, A Wild Ride. That book was more passionate. This was also fierce, but in a totally different way. For one thing, the men concerned are not as intense in personality as Dante, nor for that matter, Ryan. So the feel of this one is much lighter, which made this into a light read for me.
If there is one thing I have to be nitty-picky on, it was the lack of resolution of the one problem that kept popping up in the book: the court case between Simon's father and his former manager whom he fired because of his homosexuality but cooked up another reason to protect himself from legal problems. Of course, this problem affected the father's reaction when his son came out or was outted by a stranger and it set the course to his almost losing his son. This legal problem was left hanging and unresolved.
Having said that, this gives me an idea that this former manager will have a role in the up and coming book 3 of The Bullriders. Somehow, Andrew Grey has this tendency to give us a glimpse of what is next to come without really being blatant about it. This one, unresolved issue may irritate or frustrate some readers but not me. I feel I know this writer by now in terms of writing style and I am honestly looking forward to how that 'hanging plot' and mysterious character would play out. If I am wrong, oh well, no worries. I still loved this book. It was a light read despite the drama.

Lyness Naval Museum is sited on what was a large naval base during the war years. Many arriving ships would throw much rubbish overboard in area not 10 minutes away, between Lyness and Rysa Island. All sorts of material may be found down there, from broken china cups, plate chards, pieces of metal like broken pipes to syringes and other medical paraphernalia.
Many dive boats visit the museum, which tells the history of the world wars and the very important role that Scapa Flow played. There are many poignant reminders of the tragedies, such as HMS Opal & Narborough Destroyers wrecked in the same storm with great loss of life, and HMS Royal Oak, the battleship probably more famous for the tragedy that struck. Many Scapa Flow artefacts still remain and it's worth having a good look around. Outside, a selection of guns have been salvaged and even one of the 6in guns from Karlsruhe, which gives the diver an idea what they looked like above water!
The Bottle Run is a rummage dive, named after the numerous bottles thrown overboard. Many divers have found old intact bottles down there, on our dive there were just pieces. The seabed where we dived was quite flat with only a few odd rocks and some of the divers went out further finding current to drift upon. It is quite often made as a drift but for those who prefer just wrecks, this is not for you. It is a great dive nevertheless to off gas a little being only 15m, and a chance to readjust any gear. In my case, I practiced with some new gear before going onto the wrecks with it.
The seabed is littered with scavenging critters and it's best (esp. if you like the marine life) to go nowhere and remain in a 5m sq box! Many of the old bottles and jars have made perfect homes for the tiny red shrimps or bunches of light bulb squirts. The place is alive with ambush predators such as scorpionfish. Queen scallops maybe found, many with accompanying anemones or top shells. Quite often small furry crabs can be spotted resting on common starfish, perhaps some strange symbiotic relationship!
A mistiness came about as we continued the dive, the vis. was around 10m, and it made us feel cooler. Much red algal weed, wracks and long tapering weeds congregate to form a turf. It's a strange moribund landscape, a certain stillness about it, where nothing moves. But, with a closer eye, hidden in this flurry of flora are some interesting creatures. The weed moves, it could be a velvet swimming crab, or a rarer cousin of the spider crab - a sea toad, which is even shyer. Bunches of tube squirts add colour to the proceedings, the internal organs can be clearly seen. Chunky edible crabs exist in pits, while large and voracious starfish munch a pathway.
Again, another SMB launch with an easy ascent to the surface, when ready.

Leg Cramps and Electrolyte Imbalance
Electrolytes are charged particles found in body fluids that form when salts dissolve in water or fluids. Electrolytes transmit electrical impulses necessary for proper nerve, muscle and heart function. Any imbalance in one or more of the major electrolytes could contribute to leg cramps and other complications.
The primary electrolytes found within the body are sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Electrolytes are ingested through foods and fluids and are eliminated primarily by the kidneys 2. It is the kidneys' job to control electrolyte balance, therefore kidney failure is the most common cause of electrolyte imbalance 1. In addition to kidney failure, a disruption of electrolytes can occur from excessive sweating, vomiting or diarrhea and blood loss or infections.
Sodium and Potassium
Sodium is the major electrolyte found outside the cells in the extracellular fluid. Sodium plays a major role in fluid regulation and transmitting nerve impulses. Water follows salt in the body, so a gain or loss in sodium results in a gain or loss of water. If you have low sodium, called hyponatremia, you will have deficient sodium and water in excess of the sodium. This causes swelling of the cells which leads to muscle and leg cramping. Potassium is another major electrolyte that affects the excitability of nerve and muscle cells. Too much potassium causes increased activity of the cells and too little potassium causes decreased activity. Generally, the low levels of potassium result in muscle weakness, which could be associated with muscle cramping.
Calcium and Magnesium
Calcium and magnesium are both stored in the bones. Calcium also affects the excitability of nerve and muscle cells. Low levels of calcium, called hypocalcemia, causes increased muscle irritability. This can result in muscle cramping and the feeling of pins and needles in the extremities. Magnesium's functions overlap with those of potassium and calcium. Low magnesium again results in muscle irritability, causing muscle spasms and hyperactive reflexes.
Leg and muscle cramping can occur with a shift of any one of the major electrolytes. Cramping is most often associated with decreased levels of the electrolytes. Leg cramps may be early symptoms of electrolyte disturbances.
Treatment for leg cramps is focused around replacing the necessary electrolytes. In mild cases of leg cramps, simply increasing foods rich in sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium may fix the problem. Some sports drinks contain essential electrolytes and may aid in eliminating the symptoms. In more severe cases, electrolyte supplements may be necessary.
Cramping is most often associated with decreased levels of the electrolytes. Generally, the low levels of potassium result in muscle weakness, which could be associated with muscle cramping. Treatment for leg cramps is focused around replacing the necessary electrolytes.

text: The whole day of Saturday was dedicated for cultural visits since no musical appointments were programmed. After breakfast, the group visited the Basilica of St. John the Lateran or better the Cathedral of Rome. On entering the Basilica, there could be seen the large stage with light effects being prepared for the evening concert of MTV Music. After the visit at the Cathedral, they crossed the street and visited the Scala Santa which according to tradition, it was the staircase of Pilate's house in Jerusalem. The faithful walk upstairs on the knees while praying God's for Divine mercy or for thanksgiving. On the first floor there is a collection of relics provided from the Terra Santa. At around 10am, the choristers were queuing near the Vatican site for a visit in the Musei Vaticani. Each and every member remained aghast with all the wonders found inside. Ancient and modern material is beautifully presented and make one go back in time of the Egyptians, the Romans, the Popes of all times, when modern facilities lacked and the human mind together with his hands sculpted, engraved or painted. However, maybe the most unforgettable visit was at the Sistine Chapel, admiring Michelangelo's great work. It is a world heritage of which we should all be proud and keen to keep well preserved for the generations to come. Inside the Museum, the group spent more than four memorable hours. After that, they went for lunch and for some shopping. However, next in line was a stop at Giolitti for an exquisite ice cream. In the evening, the group went for dinner in another famous restaurant of the Capital. They invited the composer Pierfranco Cucchiarelli and his wife Emira Dervinyte. Mro. Cucchiarelli had studied under Mro. Domenico Bartolucci and his wife Emira is a renowned soprano who frequently leaves her home for her opera and concert appointments in various countries. Stefan Attard presented the Cd 'Jubilate' to the Mro. Cucchiarelli who in turn presented some of his compositions. Before calling it a day, the group had a cup of coffee from a cafeteria in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

I'm not really a huge fan of Jim Carrey (especially in this decade), but Yes Man was actually a pretty decent romp. I haven't seen it recently but the idea must have been incepted (inceptioned?) into my mind… or, it may have just been a recent post by Craig Groeschel that got me thinking (specifically, about "That's-not-my-job" mindsets).
Now I have these questions : does the thought of asking a colleague for help on a project make you nervous? Is it like pulling teeth trying to push positive changes through your staff meetings? Do you feel the need to aggressively defend your creative ideas?
If these ring true for you, then you may be working in a "NO" culture.
In many organizations, there is a grand pendulum that swings from the entrepreneurial, freedom-granting, creative "YES" culture to the rigid, policy-centric, structured "NO" culture. Both have their merits, and both aren't without flaws; too much freedom in the workplace has chaotic potential, and too much structure poisons creativity and productivity. This is especially true for larger churches, where the size of the staff and the volume of ministry programs demands an appropriate balance of these two extremes. Many healthy churches simplify their ministry output as they grow and find focus, and that can sometimes lead to the dreaded culture of "NO":
- "Can we talk about our awesome upcoming mission trip in this weekend's service?" "NO"
- "Can I use that awesome community software for my group that meets at Starbucks?" "NO"
- "Can I rent your awesome million dollar facility?" "NO"
The key symptom to watch out for in a "NO" culture is a general lack of good reasoning behind each declined request. Once "NO" becomes the normal response to people outside your staff or team, then it is only a matter of time before it becomes the normal response to colleagues and team members:
- "Can you help me with this project even though it's not really your area?" "NO"
- "Do we have anyone who owns XYZ?" "NO"
- "Can I implement this change?" "NO"
After that, the lack of collaboration, communication, and teamwork – and the addition of territorialism, silos, and disrespect – can become a deadly virus that will cripple your mission and purpose.
Now, I say all of this not as a personal complaint – Pantano has a good balance of staff players on both sides of the yes we can / no we can't fence. This is simply a reminder to others in ministry that there is hope, and it can start with you – the next time you feel the urge to say "NO," surprise yourself (and others) and say "Why yes, yes I can do that, and I'd be glad to."

Monkey Inspired Olives and Applesauce SSC
Posted by Sprout Soup on
Have a toddler and a baby? Take your kids out to the playground and let them monkey around with this Monkey Inspired Olives and Applesauce baby carrier!
The Olives and Applesauce is an excellent choice if you have both an infant and a toddler that you need to carry. With the integrated infant insert you can start using this SSC right away, or if you have an older child, skip the insert and pop them straight in the carrier.
Sprout Soup carries the 16″ Olives and Applesauce Soft Structured Carrier. Many of our customers ask about the 18″ carrier, or wonder if they should choose a 16″ or 18″ carrier. The 16″ carrier is the most versatile, allowing you to carry both newborns and infants, toddlers and preschoolers. I have used the 16″ carrier with my four-year-old and it has ample room for him, arms in or out. The 16″ is certainly a fine choice for even older children. Some will choose the 18″ for a child that still falls asleep in the carrier and needs head support without the hood. With the hood a 16″ carrier can support a child up to 42″ tall.
All Olives and Applesauce carriers come standard with the infant insert and the optional chest strap!

Chalk Writings on University of Michigan's Campus
Are the words "Stop Islam," "Build the Wall," "Stop the Rape of Europe," and "Trump 2016" hateful bigoted words?
Well some students and administrators at the University of Michigan believe so, do you?
The Detroit Free Press as well as some national news sites are reporting on those phrases being written on a central plaza on U of M's campus.
Some Muslim students were not happy with those phrases, and the fact that U of M did not wash the phrases out immediately, that they took matters in their own hands and removed them.
They washed some of them away but left the Trump chalking's because they did not want to "infringe" on political speech. At least they were a bit more thoughtful about free speech than many other college students at other campuses, Emory University I am looking at you.
One U of M student was quoted in the Detroit Free Press article stating"
We specifically made it a point to not remove the chalk that was simply pro-Trump (even though we do not agree with his hateful ideas. We wanted to ensure that we weren't infringing on anybody's political free speech.
A spokesman for the University of Michigan, said in a statement on Wednesday:
Someone used chalk to write a #stopislam message on the main square in the heart of our campus known as the Diag. Attacks directed toward any member or group within the University of Michigan community, based on a belief or characteristic, are inconsistent with our values of respect, civility and equality. We all understand that where speech is free it will sometimes wound. But our message is this: We are fully committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming and inclusive of everyone. Tonight we are reminded there is much work yet to be done.
The executive director of the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a statement:
We are concerned that these recent anti-Islam and anti-immigrant messages are creating an environment in which some students, teachers and other university faculty members feel unsafe on campus. We encourage anyone who has information about these messages to immediately contact the university's Department of Public Safety.
Interesting that they want people to report any messages like this to the authorities but I cannot remember them asking for Muslims to report any radical extremist Muslims in their mosques to report that to authorities.
The University of Michigan's policy on chalking reads is as follows: "Chalking with water soluble chalk is allowed on University sidewalks and plazas. Chalking is prohibited on other University property including, but not limited to, buildings, columns, seating walls, steps, and other surfaces, structures and fixtures. The University has no responsibility for maintaining or removing chalk placed on sidewalks or plazas."
Free speech is supposed to be free whether you agree with them or not. We all see and hear statements that offend us each day but most of us do not get upset enough about them that we want to "wash" them away.
Let's talk about this today on The Live with Renk Show, which airs Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to noon, to let me know your thoughts at (269) 441-9595.
Or please feel free to start a discussion and write your thoughts in the comment section

Life Lesson
by Damian Dressick Read author interview December 22, 2010
It's 1972 and the war, unpopular now even in the suburbs, sputters on. My father, not a Buddhist monk, nonetheless flirts with self immolation. Slumped on our blacktop drive next to the Roadmaster, he's poured a quart of Fleishman's gin down the front of his chest and his left hand toys with the wheel of a Zippo. "Alice," he shouts to my mother. "Alice, get out here." When my mom, beehive blond and rayon-ed, comes rustling through the screen door, he smears some of the gin into his hair, a splash across his whiskery face. "Have this baby," he tells her, "I swear I'll go up like Dresden." Even as my mother sprays him down with the garden hose, calls for my uncle in the house across the street, my father is laughing. "I can do this any time, Alice," he says.

The Van Society was founded on May 9 2014 and started off as a small crew of PS3 GTAO players. On May 25th of the same year Retired-Mafia of GTA Forums created a topic called Heist Preparation. It was a meet up topic for fellow players that where interested in doing robbery sprees in vans. The topic started to get a lot of interest and soon the first event plans were made and used in crew sessions. The plans started to contain more detail and a better story from then on. After years of hosting events we've established a fun and active group of players. the topic is no longer called "Heist Preparation" it is now called the Van Society.

About me and my therapy practice
My name is Anna and I am a qualified counsellor using mainly Transactional Analysis (TA) - a humanistic approach to therapeutic work with adults. Using TA ideas and models is a great way of illustrating the psychological mechanisms behind many emotional problems. Simplicity of TA allows people to discover what distorts the here-and-now relationship between people and how "to fight the past in the present in order to assure the future". I also use elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based on Mindfulness Practice which very well address the "present moment" difficulties from the perspective of "here-and-now". Clients who face very challenging emotional experiences could greatly benefit from using Dialectic Behavioural Therapy Skills (DBT). DBT, just like ACT, invites clients to learn and practice advanced mindfulness skills together with other highly effective affect regulation skills.
I work with self-referred adult individuals speaking English or Polish. I am available for consultations from Monday to Saturday at two locations; in West London and in Gillingham in Kent.
Sessions are usually organized once a week in a form of face to face meetings.
Skype and telephone counselling is available for clients under specific circumstances.
I do not accept telephone calls where the telephone number is withheld.
I do not wish to be contacted by third party organisations like EAPs, Referral or Advertising Agencies
Counselling in Polish - Polish speaking counsellor
Counselling in English - English is my second language

Abuse, Anxiety, Bereavement, Depression, Loss, Post-traumatic stress, Trauma, Personal development, Cancer, Health related issues, Cultural issues, Self esteem, Child related issues, Infertility, Pregnancy related issues, Relationships, Anger management, Stress, Work related issues

Compton pugilist Lanell Bellows eyes super middleweight title
Bellows 5'9", 165 pounds is from Compton, but now lives and trains in Las Vegas
Lanell Bellows, a former resident of Compton, fights Lamar Harris for the vacant American Boxing Federation super middleweight boxing title, July 21, 2018, in Memphis, Tenn. Courtesy Mayweather Promotions
'It's a blessing for this opportunity to show my skills, and I'm going to come away with this win and my first title!'
LAS VEGAS — Super middleweight prospect Lanell "KO" Bellows travels to Memphis, Tenn., July 21, to battle Lamar Harris for the vacant American Boxing Federation USA Super middleweight title. Bellows career record is 17-2-2, (10 KOs) and he is currently ranked 18th in the U.S. in his division by BoxRec.
Bellows 5'9", 165 pounds from Compton, who now lives and trains in Las Vegas, expressed confidence that he will dominate Harris and win his first title.
"I'm excited to be fighting in the beautiful city of Memphis," Bellows said. "I plan on dominating this fight and putting on a crowd-pleasing performance. It's a blessing for this opportunity to show my skills, and I'm going to come away with this win and my first title!"
Bellows found himself caught up in numerous fights during his formative years, naturally deciding that boxing was what he wanted to pursue. Despite lacking much amateur experience, lends credence to his innate ability and promise as a professional.
Bellows sparred with Floyd Mayweather for the first time during the middleweight champion's preparation for his fight against Miguel Cotto. Mayweather was impressed with Bellows' heart and desire to go the extra mile. Convincing him that Bellows could become a prolific fighter. Mayweather signed the young prospect to a contract with Mayweather Promotions in 2012.
Bellows' first professional fight occurred on Feb. 17, 2012, in Phoenix, AZ when he TKO'd an overmatched Amado Gonzalez in the first round. Fight fans saw Bellows waste no time in landing his power punches and Gonzalez was on the canvas moments later, opting not to continue. Bellows went on to gain another win following his debut, in 2013 he successfully defeated his next four opponents. Bellows showed resilience and went on to gain his 7th victory by way of TKO on the undercard of Mayweather vs. Maidana in 2014, followed by three consecutive wins, showing fight fans and his supporters that he is here to stay.
Bellows gained more experience since his 2012 debut, adding four more successful wins to his resume, including a rematch with Eddie Hunter where Bellows won a unanimous decision.
Bellows is not just a boxing success story; he's also a father, brother, and son who puts his family at the center of his world. Checking out the latest movie release, spending time with his kids, and playing basketball are just a few of the ways Bellows spends his free time. He says if he weren't boxing he'd be a barber.

Chris Brown & Karrueche Tran: She Wishes She Never Met Him
After Chris's latest shocking baby betrayal, Karrueche wants him out of her life for good. Although she has taken him back in the past, Hollywoodlife.com has the exclusive on why she never wants to see him again!
Karrueche Tran, 26, wants no part of Chris Brown's, 25, baby mama drama and is finally putting an end to their on again/off again relationship. His baby with Nia Guzman, 31, has pushed her over the edge and she does not want him in her life anymore. Now a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusive details on the future of their fractured relationship.
Karrueche Tran & Chris Brown Split: She Wishes She Never Met Him
As Hollywoodlife.com previously reported, Chris wants to work out his relationship with Karrueche and to make her a part of baby Royal's life. "He knows he's asking Karrueche for a lot, but feels they've gone through many challenges and this is one that they can and will get through and adjust to," the insider says.
But according to our source that's just not happening. "She's in a position to give Chris back all the material possessions he's ever given her in exchange for her privacy and her heart," the pal tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. She just wants to be left alone so that she can heal and repair her broken heart. Her heart hasn't stopped beating and she'll be all right. She really just wants to forget she ever met him."
Sounds like Karrueche is ready to hit the off switch on their relationship for good.
Karrueche To Nia: He'll Hurt You Too
Her words were even harsher regarding the future of Chris's relationship with Nia.
Our source tells us, "If Nia thinks she and Chris are going to be one big happy family, that girl is in store for some serious heartbreak. Chris doesn't care about her. He's only doing this to ease his financial responsibilities. He's selfish. And she'd better wake up to the fact the just because she has his baby, doesn't mean Chris is going to be faithful to her. Everything he does is calculated to put him in a victorious position."
Ouch. Karrueche and Chris have been one of Holllywood's most volatile couples for a long time, but it sounds like this is one betrayal that she just can't forgive.
What do you think Hollywoodlifers? Is Karrueche finally done with Chris Brown? Tell us what your thoughts below!

To reduce the cost of health care.
Email to: firstname.lastname@example.com - Office: 651.330.2792
This is a time to pay close attention. Gov. Tim Walz released the outline of his new ONECare and expanded premium subsidy health plans. It is not overstating the case to say it could trigger the end to both the private individual and small group marketplace.
If enough people learn about ONECare to persuade legislators to back off, you can still have a chance to re-design private insurance. (In fact, some of us are working on ideas right now which we share elsewhere on this website.)
To summarize, according to the "Office of Governor Walz & Lt. Governor Flanagan," this is what they want to do:
He's fighting the opioid epidemic. This is good, but he's way underestimated the cost. And he's adding money for more mental health services. The demand for money for these last two is nearly bottomless.
The end of traditional, privately-insured plans
It's risky to predict such big changes, but it seems likely that private health insurance will fail. Government health plans rely on minimal reimbursements - as much as 50% less than private plans. Gov. Walz' claim of 3% administrative cost, while spending $112 million just on start-up, is a dream. Of course this government scheme would cost less for the people who qualify for it, making the government health plans more attractive than private plans, but only for a time.
Health care is a debit/credit system. You can spend less by demanding less spending. You can manage doctors, hospitals, and patients by reducing the amount of care they provide and receive. You can use lessor-qualified medical professionals. All of this is possible, though patients will not much like it.
The thing is, you can reduce premiums through a number of management schemes and global budgets. It might be successful enough for a time that almost all folks with individual plans will be tempted to run to it, and small employers will opt for higher paychecks and no health benefits.
The end game seems obvious: Destroy the private health insurance market and replace it with ONECare. The fact is that this ONECare scheme has not worked anywhere in the U.S. All that seems to matter is passing it into law before working people realize it's only costing them more, and they're receiving even less than today.

With the Bloodhound Supersonic Car, they aim to break the current land speed record of 763 miles per hour, set by the Thrust SSC. That car was also built by the same team 15 years ago.The test lasted a few seconds, but everything seemed to go perfectly. The thirty thousand horsepower hybrid rocket engine uses an F1 engine just to pump in the peroxide-based fuel. Data from the test shows it produced 14200 pounds of thrust. Later tests in the year will push the engine harder; the engine is designed to generate 27500 pounds of thrust, the equivalent of 80 thousand horsepower.[Richard Noble, Project Director]:"The overall objective is to create a 1000-miles-an-hour world land speed record, which means to pass it over the measured mile. We are going through the measured mile at about 3.6 seconds."The team aims to put the car together later this year, with an 850 mph attempt next year and the 1000 mph attempt in 2014.For more news and videos visit ☛ http://english.ntdtv.comFollow us on Twitter ☛ http://twitter.com/NTDTelevisionAdd us on Facebook ☛ http://on.fb.me/s5KV2C

Several oral health risks and tooth hazards are often present with lifestyle choices you may have. Furthermore, you can end up causing severe dental damage if you are using your teeth in ways they are not assigned. Several forms of dental damage can often arise by chewing on in inedible products.
It is well known that if you bite your nails, it can cause dental damage in the form of chips and cracks to your teeth. This is because the bite force used for nails is directed to specific areas of your tooth, which can increase the likelihood of a fracture. Furthermore, chewing on pencils or pen caps as well as other inedible products has been shown to cause dental damage. Avoid these tooth hazards and bad habits whenever possible.
Other unhealthy habits that can destroy and damage your smile include using products that are known to stain and discolored teeth, as well as cause bad breath. Unhealthy habits such as smoking and chewing tobacco are known for staining teeth and causing bad breath. Also, be aware that these substances can increase the risk for stained teeth. If your teeth do end up stained, visit your dentist for a tooth whitening treatment.
At Tree City Family Dental, we can make sure you receive the oral health treatments you need. Dr. Connaughton and Dr. Bator are happy to help you, just call 208-286-2699 to schedule an office visit in Boise, Idaho.

Registered dietetic technician turned software engineer and stronger.
Photo by Ross Findon
If you have long abandoned your last career and you are looking for that first software engineering job after a bootcamp or non-traditional coding program or study, I know exactly how you feel. I was cold-applying and networking like crazy to any and every opportunity I could get my hands on, but the rejections kept on coming.
"Thank you for your interest in So Spectacular Unicorn Startup. We've reviewed your background and unfortunately it's not a match for our hiring needs at the moment."
"Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and the team at Billion Dollar Better Than You Technologies. Unfortunately we have a few other candidates who we feel have experience that aligns more with our current needs."Over time my courage and heart sank deeper and my fear and anxiety grew taller. So how was I able to carry on?
Imagine an 8 year old mutt at an adoption center, who plays in the yard among other adoptable doggies, enclosed by a big fence. Let's call her...Codie. See what I did there? 😁 Codie yearns to gain the rite of passage to be on the other side, to be with a new family, to prove herself enough to be chosen. Codie has not yet mastered the more difficult concepts like playing dead and fetch, but has been studying Human at the center's training bootcamp and already sits, stays, and shakes perfectly thanks her previous dog career.
People come and go with other dogs, but mostly with the younger purebreds that have had advanced dog training at a 4-month dog academy. Codie wonders if that's why they don't pick her, even though she knows the basics well, already has years of work experience with humans, has been picking up new tricks quickly, is most eager to learn, and is a very good dog. If only they would give her a chance to prove herself, she would eventually be able to roll over just as good — and potentially even better — than the other dogs!
Photo by rawpixel.com
Even though Codie is scared of what the future holds for her and would be ok just staying around the volunteers forever, she has come to understand that being happy and uncomfortable is light years better than being unhappy and comfortable. She fights through her fear, keeps on practicing and networking, and eventually demonstrates her awesomeness by getting adopted by a dog-friendly tech company, hooray! 🐶💻
So I say, channel your inner Codie like I did by doing all the scary things anyway because:
- You don't need a traditional background.
- It doesn't matter how old you are and where you came from.
- You shouldn't settle for a mediocre life.
- You should push forth on the quest for happiness.
- You are good enough!
Photo by Michael Rosner-Hyman
And now that I am on this side of the fence, I can tell you that back then I literally could not imagine myself where I am now, but somehow it freaking happened and here I am. So, even though the end goal might seem impossible, unattainable, or nowhere in sight, as long as you keep taking small steps forward, you will eventually get there.
Below is my LinkedIn post on the day I started my first engineering job. I encourage you to read my story, adopt my motto, "Do Scary Things", and join me on the other side! 👇
