Super-fresh off the wire earlier this hour is the brand new video for British pop starlet Cher Lloyd, who's roped in the rapping talents of T.I. in the hope of breaking further into that all-important American market.
She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar… when she met him. Yes, he wandered in full of swagger (jagger?) with a bird on his arm. But strangely, Ms Lloyd retreats to the kitchen for some hilarity with a co-worker, before re-emerging (champagne under her arms) to serve her main man. Plenty of partying ensues.
Quite liking this track… plenty of sugar and spice and all things nice.

We work closely with our clients to create and promote successful brands. Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business, large or small, retail or B2B. An effective brand strategy gives you a leading edge in increasingly competitive markets. Marketing may contribute to a brand, but the brand is bigger than any particular marketing effort.
We see branding as the expression of the essential truth or value of an organization, product, or service. It is communication of characteristics, values, and attributes that clarify what this particular brand is and is not. A well designed brand campaign will help encourage someone to buy a product, and it directly supports whatever sales or marketing initiatives are underway. A brand does not specifically say "buy me." Rather, it says "This is what I am.

Tuesday I got this email blast from SolidWorks Corporation:
"ralph, you're the reason we keep raising the bar on CAD.
"We know about your challenges and value your time. Let us show you how to make the most of every minute you spend on product design."
Oh, shoot, they KNOW about my challenges... the sliding doors on my Honda Odyssey that keep get getting stuck... the lack of sleep I had last night because of the wind storm... the angst of my son being in the dying months of Grade 12 and pondering his future... the zero minutes I spend on product design.
The email goes on to urge me to take the Online Tour that shows me the unmatched power, etc, etc of the company's namesake software. I guess Honda didn't use SolidWorks to design their minivan's sliding doors.

NEW YORK (WROC) — A new state law will keep first responders from selling your personal information. Currently, state laws allow patient information to be disclosed to a third party.
But — when lawmakers discovered a fire department in Brooklyn was using a loophole to sell it to marketing companies, they decided it needed to be fixed.
The only exemption to the rule is insurance and health care providers are still able to give your information to marketers.
"I'm surprised that someone would do that. It's not what I would consider to be ethical. But if it was legal and someone found a loophole, I'm glad they closed it," said CEO of Mobile Integrated Healthcare, Reg Allen.
The new law will go into effect in February of next year.

It can be difficult at times to stay positive in the face of real opposition or real challenges. It's not always easy to work in a given environment or to have negative responses to your work or to your feedback. Difficult situations make for challenges in our daily lives.
Negative situations are everywhere we go. How we react to them, how we respond to them is what sets the tone for the continued interaction. There really is a silver lining in many of these situations. Sometimes it takes more effort to find it but once you do, you can take away something very positive from an uncomfortable situation.
If your work is being criticized, recognize that you can take a learning experience away from that and grow in your career. Despite it being proffered to you in a negative way, you need not allow the way in which it was offered to make the entire scenario negative.
Bear in mind that there are always going to be negative people around you. Whether they are in positions of authority or not, you're going to have to deal with them. Allowing them to spread negativity and to damage morale—particularly yours, isn't helping anyone and it won't rectify the situation.
Negative people can often be managed by a pleasant response. You don't own their negativity so don't fuel it. Offer a smile, offer a sympathetic word and listen. Let people vent their anger or frustration if they need to do that, but don't feed into it. If it is a supervisor who seems unduly harsh in their critique, try to look past the attitude and find the useful information there. Sometimes it's difficult to do so, but if you can, you'll likely take away something worthwhile.
Try to help to create a situation where the people around you feel as though they are worthwhile and included in discussions and situations. Help them to see their options, rather than to focus on the purely negative.
If the negativity is aimed directly at you, take a hard look at it. Are the comments about your work or your actions something that have real value? Even the rudest commentary–the most negative reaction may hide a grain of truth.
If it's something that you can change, take a look at the value underlying the comment and act on it. If you can change it or it merits change, act on it. Taking a positive away from it puts you in the driver's seat.
You are not always able to control a negative situation, but you can control your reaction to it. Keep an open mind and an upbeat attitude about any negative situation. Examine the situation in which you find yourself and take a breath before you respond. Some of the people that you honestly believe you're not going to work well with or to interact well with can become your closest allies.
Keep in mind as you seek to keep your life and your workplace positive that sometimes negative reactions and negative emotions are completely appropriate, depending on the situation. There may not be a great solution for that but you can be a good listener who is available with a sympathetic ear and a reasonable response.

Donald Trump, who has little regard for his own weaknesses, suggested on Saturday that he and Hillary Clinton should take drug tests ahead of the next presidential debate.
Does Trump have something he'd like to come clean about? Of course not, he merely thinks that Clinton has been "getting pumped up" on performance-enhancing drugs, and that there's only one way to know for sure.
"I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate," Trump said at a rally in New Hampshire. "Because I don't know what's going on with her, but at the beginning of her last debate, she was all pumped up at the beginning, and at the end it was like, huff, take me down. She could barely reach her car."
Hm, I am no doctor, but I believe it is possible for most to rhetorically trounce Trump without additional chemical assistance. Meanwhile, there is no drug on this planet that could give Trump an edge over Clinton, unless it is being passed out like candy at voting booths on election day.
Then there is the matter of unrelenting joking (and more serious theorizing) that Trump himself has or did have coke habit. In last Sunday's debate, Trump sniffed loudly into his indisputably working microphone dozens of times, reigniting national concern that the GOP presidential nominee's nasal cavities are not well. Howard Dean, Trump's seemingly batshit doctor, and Trump's own erratic, megalomaniacal behavior have done him no favors in dispelling the rumors.
In a comment to CNN, Clinton called Trump's remarks, "shameful attempts to undermine an election weeks before it happens."
I think Clinton should definitely accept Trump's fine offer. She has called Trump on many of his bluffs before—that he pays taxes, that he didn't start the birther movement, that he wasn't in favor of the Iraq War, that he is a viable presidential candidate—and it seems to be working out in her favor.

Each Wednesday, blogger Matt Vensel will highlight five statistics that really mean something for the Ravens.
Four -- Ravens sacks of San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers coming with four or fewer pass rushers.
The Ravens, who have been blitzing less than they did in the first half of the season, are finally starting to see consistent results with their pass rush. They recorded three sacks in a win over the Oakland Raiders and three more a week later in their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then against the Chargers, who have one of the NFL's weakest offensive lines, the Ravens recorded a season-high six sacks. According to ESPN Stats and Info, four of those sacks came when the Ravens sent four or fewer pass rushers after Rivers, who completed 19 of his 30 attempts for 169 yards on 34 dropbacks in which the Ravens didn't rush more than four defenders.
10 -- consecutive red-zone successes for the Ravens defense.
For most of the season, the Ravens had one of the NFL's stingiest defenses in the red zone -- one of a few things the then-reeling defense could hang its helmet on. But the Ravens have kicked it up another notch over the past few games. Since the Week 8 bye week, the Ravens have yet to allow a red-zone touchdown. Opponents have crossed the Baltimore 20-yard line 10 times in those games and they were turned away every time. Now the Ravens rank first in red-zone defense, surrendering touchdowns just 34.2 percent of the time. That played a big role in the Ravens allowing a league-best 14.5 points per game in November.
82 -- yards after the catch for Torrey Smith in Sunday's win.
Second-year wide receiver Torrey Smith has become one of the NFL's most dangerous deep threats. That's why opponents have tried to neutralize the deep passing attack -- quarterback Joe Flacco completed just two of his 10 attempts of 20 or more yards against the Chargers, per Pro Football Focus -- but the Ravens smartly found other ways to get Smith the ball Sunday. According to ESPN Stats and Info, Smith caught a career-high six passes for 113 yards on throws 10 yards or fewer downfield. He also had a career-high 82 yards after the catch. Those quick throws to Smith and Jacoby Jones helped Flacco find his rhythm in the comeback.
87 -- receiving yards Anquan Boldin needs to get to 10,000.
Unlike some of the diva wide receivers from this era, Ravens wide Receiver Anquan Boldin doesn't draw attention to himself -- unless you count devastating blocks like the one he laid on Chargers safety Eric Weddle. But quietly, Boldin is closing in on a pretty impressive milestone. With 757 career receptions for 9,913 receiving yards, he is 87 receiving yards shy of 10,000 for his career and would become the 39th player to accomplish that feat. Boldin did most of his damage with the Arizona Cardinals, catching 586 passes for 7,520 yards out in the desert. He has 171 catches for 2,393 yards in his three seasons with the Ravens.
65 -- yards after contact for running back Ray Rice, who ran for 97 yards on 22 carries against the Chargers.
Ray Rice made something out of nothing when he took a dump-off from Flacco and improbably converted on that 4th-and-29 play. But Rice had been making something out of nothing all afternoon. According to Pro Football Focus, 65 of his 97 rushing yards in Sunday's win came after contact, which was a season-high. Rice averaged 3.0 yards after contact -- he broke five tackles as a runner -- and just 1.4 yards before contact.

The photo on the right shows the replacement bufferbeam plate or 'buffer plank' bolted temporarily into position.
The recently drilled plate has been positioned to allow the the new gusset plates behind to be marked for drilling and to to allow them to be accurately set for final welding in.
Once all of the new gusset components are welded in, the bufferbeam plate will be fastened to them permanently with hot rivets.
Copyright A.J.Morgan
The photo on the left shows the area immediately behind the bufferbeam where the left hand gusset plates fit.
The gusset plates are the stiffeners or braces that give the bufferbeam its strength.
A new front gusset plate has been welded in, the areas of bare metal indicate where two more gusset plates will be welded in. The small square plates are 'tack' welded on temporarily to allow the heavy top gusset to be easily and accurately positioned for welding.

These soft, cake-with-crispy-edged cookies are healthy tasting, but not in a "bad" way. They are good for snacking or serving to children (Fuzz loved them), but I probably wouldn't take them to a cookie swap or serve them at a party unless requested.
Epicurious version here.
Adapted version is below
Chocolate Chip Cookies with White Beans
3/4 cups oats, old fashioned or quick – not instant
1 cup all purpose flour
3/8 teaspoon baking powder
3/8 teaspoon baking soda
3/8 teaspoon salt (use a bit less if desired)
6 tablespoons drained white beans, mashed or pureed with 1 T. liquid
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces dark chocolate, cut into chunks
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.
In blender, process oats until finely ground. Combine ground oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Combine mashed beans, oil, both sugars, molasses, egg, and vanilla in a separate bowl and beat well. Stir in oat/flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chunks.
Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets. Bake 12 minutes until centers are firm and edges are lightly browned. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
Makes 1 1/2 dozen.

10 Oct Why have a Group Benefit Plan?
Posted at 02:48h in Group Benefit Plans 0 Comments
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, companies of all sizes are finding it more difficult to attract and retain good quality employees. We recognize that with the right Group Benefit Plan and package, you can hire the most suitable and skilled candidates and retain them.
Reasons to have a Group Benefit Plan:
- Retain and reward valued personnel
- Attract quality employees
- Minimize turnover and increase productivity
- Maintain healthy workplace
- Build employee loyalty and increase morale
- Demonstrate management interest in the employee's well being
- Ensures employees aren't devastated by catastrophic events
- Encourages employees to respond to timely health care issues
- Assists employees to return to work sooner
Compared to some health and dental plans, group benefit plans do not discriminate and are not anti-selective, resulting in all employees receiving the same benefits.
Most premiums paid into a group benefit plan can be used as a tax deduction.

Article provided by: Prestige Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC
At Prestige Heating and Air Conditioning, LLC, we specialize in providing excellent and prompt AC repair in Houston. Our trusted experts have the right equipment and expertise to handle various AC issues, including blowing warm air, thermostat failure, making loud noises, not working at all, and so forth. We will provide an immediate fix and get your air conditioner back to optimal working condition. We serve homes and businesses in Houston, Texas, and nearby cities.
What Are the Signs That I need AC Repair?
Many homeowners in Houston fail to observe when their air conditioners need a repair until it gets out of hand. You will want to ensure that your cooling system is always working especially during summer. For this reason, we are going to list the common signs that demand urgent repair of your AC.
Water Leakage around Your AC: Moisture around your AC unit could be a cue that your AC is not working properly. The water leakage could be attributed to debris clogging the drainpipe of the AC unit. This needs to be repaired immediately to avoid creating a breeding ground for molds.
AC Not Cooling: The compressor could be out of shape if your AC is blowing hot instead of cool. It could also be caused by a refrigerant leak. Either of these problems should be fixed immediately before they degenerate into problems that will be more difficult and costly to fix.
Bad Smell: An unusual odoriferous smell may be an indication of mold growth. This mold growth comes with a musty smell and is encouraged by the water leakage from the AC unit. The pungent smell in your home can also be caused by burnt wire insulation in the AC unit.
Increased Humidity Levels: The air conditioner indoors is designed to moderate humidity levels automatically. If an air conditioner cannot pull moisture from your home to keep the humidity level balanced and controlled, water starts pooling around in your home. This is followed by growth. It is time to repair your AC when there is an increase in humidity level.
Noise from the AC Unit: Loud, disturbing noise other than the low-level noise is an indication that all is not well with your AC. The noise could be that there is a loose nut or a greater problem with your cooling system.
How Much Does AC Repair Cost?
The cost to repair an AC unit varies depending on the level of problem it has. The more significant the problem is, the more the cost it will attract. In case there are broken parts, such parts will need to be replaced. You can contact our expert team to get an accurate cost for your AC repair.

Last week I went on a short hike (a very short hike) up a steep trail to the most amazing view! This was only the second time I made this short trek. The first time was last fall. And I am only a few short minutes from here. I really don't know why I don't go there more often. Although, the fact that it is called Blow Me Down Hill may give you some ideas. The wind actually started to pick up a bit while I was there. It is open to Trinity Bay but what you can see is well worth the breeze. This short hike/adventure only took me a little over an hour. The hike itself was only a few very short minutes. I spent most of my time taking pictures and just sitting on a rock breathing in the sights and sounds along with the fresh air.
I am including a few screen shots from Google Maps to show you where I am and a little red X to show you the approximate location of where the hill is. But you can do a search yourself if you like. I must stress that this isn't a place for kids. There are cliffs all around and not always noticeable. I stuck to the middle area of the hill because I was by myself. A local group in the area are planning on putting some signs up around there for warnings, like the one you will see below.
It's great to be somewhere that you feel free from all of the negativity and hatred and worries of the world. To feel rested and exhilarated at the same time. Just you and nature. In your own little world it seems so remote, yet you are a few steps from civilization. Well, what we call civilization anyway. We have to drive 45 minutes to do major grocery shopping and its two hours to the nearest major city and airport. It's a bit of give and take I guess. But I will take these views any day. Although my husband and I had a mini vacation to the big city last month and of course I took a few pictures there. Usually we only go there for appointments and have one of both kids with us, but this time it was just us and just for fun. I'll share some pictures soon. I have lots of pictures to share actually. Such a changing landscape in my little world. So much ice in the harbour at times this spring. I am going to push myself to write more, even if that makes for short blog posts. But I will include many photos. You can find some of my photos on Instagram by clicking here.
I have been continuing on with my #50BookPledge. I am on book number 21 for the year and will have it finished later today or tomorrow. I am pretty positive I will reach my 50 book mark at the end of the year. Last year I read 25 books and I am almost at that already. I'll be sharing what books I have read since this blog post here in an upcoming post later this month. Spring is finally here! Now that it's almost summer. LOL The kids will soon be out of school and we can spend more time relaxing and adventuring as a family. Oh, that #100DayProject I started? Well, I got to about day 14. Oh well. There is only so much time in a day. Onward and upward. Oh that sun is bright this morning! Beautiful!! So, what about you? Have you read any good (or bad) books lately? Have any summer plans?

There are many factors to consider in choosing where to pursue post-secondary education, as Lyford Cay Foundations explains . . .
Imagine it. From across the store you spot the best looking pair of shoes you've ever seen.
Since they're the last pair left on the shelf, you dash over to grab them.
But you quickly realise there's a problem - they're two sizes too small. After lots of toe wiggling and shoe tugging, you're faced with a sad reality.
They're just not the right fit for you!
A college search is the same. You can't make a perfect fit of a college that doesn't meet your needs. Finding the right fit is important, because a college that meets your needs gives you the greatest chance of successfully completing your programme and graduating.
Luxzonica Young, a Lyford Cay Scholar at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, advises students to take a hard look at their college choices before making a decision.
"I initially attended a college in West Virginia. I thought it would be great, but it didn't take me long to realise that the lack of diversity and remote location just wasn't for me," she said.
"Now, I'm at a school that I love where I have met so many different people from all over the world. And I'm confident that my programme will prepare me to return to the Bahamas and become a well-trained physiotherapist."
So how do you weigh your college options as you embark on those college applications?
Factors to guide your search for the best fit should include:
Of course, you're looking for a college that has a strong programme in your field of study, but also consider these questions:
• Does the college offer learning opportunities that excite you? You're more likely to succeed if you are excited about the options.
• Does the overall learning style of the college fit your personal learning style? Do you prefer informative lectures or lively discussions? Research or hands on experience? Drafting papers or working in small groups? Reviewing course descriptions will give you an idea of the college's overall feel. If you're able to, try to visit the campus and sit in on some classes.
Campus culture
You may spend several years in college, so quality of life is important. Be sure to research essential details that may seem small, such as residential living options, campus dining and recreation.
Questions to ponder include:
• Do you want the excitement of a big school or the comfort and security of a small one?
• How will the campus geographical location and weather impact you? Are you energised by the thought of a cold climate or absolutely terrified?
• Are you dreaming of a busy urban setting, a remote country location or a suburban setting that's in between?
• Does the school have options to support your hobbies and interests?
• Are there other Bahamians at the college? Is there an active association of Caribbean students? Or will you be the only student from your culture on campus?
The cost of college is one of the biggest areas of concern for most students. Financial worries during your college years can be greatly reduced by thinking through these questions:
• Are the schools that you've applied to a good value for the money? Is there a less expensive option that is just as academically strong?
• Have you investigated college options here at home? Both the University of The Bahamas and Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute offer a number of internationally respected programmes.
• Have you and your family openly discussed the cost of the college you want to attend and created a plan? Most college finance plans include a mix of personal savings, loans and scholarships.
• Does your college pick make you eligible for local scholarships such as Lyford Cay Foundations scholarships or Ministry of Education, Science and Technology scholarships? Remember that local scholarship programmes will favour students who have chosen a well-respected college and a major that prepares you to fulfil the future needs of the country.

Screen-Printed, Paper-Thin Batteries to Arrive by 2010
Suitable for short-term applications
Chemnitz, Germany-based Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems, scientists from the University of Technology, and Menippos GmbH have come up with small, thin batteries that are designed for mass-production by 2010 using conventional screen-printing presses. The next step is to commercialize these printable batteries that pattern organic semiconductors on thin, flexible substrates for smart credit cards with battery-powered displays that show balances and other account information.
Present designs use zinc anodes and manganese cathodes reacting with one another to produce electricity. Eventually, these materials dissipate over the lifetime of the battery. Applications are suitable for short-term applications such as greeting cards with built-in music players.
Printable batteries for smart cards would weigh less than 1 g and measure less than 1 mm thick. They would be screen printed, and a rubber lip would press the organic semiconductor material through a screen onto the flexible substrate. Using lithographic techniques, templates would pattern one layer upon the next, each the width of a human hair. The battery is designed to produce 1.5 v/cell and, unlike conventional batteries that use heavy metals, would be produced without hazardous chemicals.
The price point for these tiny batteries falls at 10 cents each. Later this year, Fraunhofer researchers predict the first commercial designs will begin beta testing. For more information, visit www.fraunhofer.de.

Discovery means there are 23 new species of water spiders in Australia for you to worry about
Just when you were starting to get comfortable in Australia, something like this comes out.
The people at Queensland Museum have identified 23 new species of water spiders that were previously thought to be lost.
That's 23 new spiders to fret about.
And then there's the fact that they're water spiders.
As we learned from a fact sheet on the museum's websites, spiders can actually lurk underwater to pounce on their prey.
WATCH MORE: Science pinpoints the age when dogs are at their cutest
The Dolomedes facetus hunts beside the water, but can dive for small fish and bugs.
"Dolomedes is quite capable of diving and running across the bottom and remaining there for up to at least one hour," experts wrote.
"Main prey are fish, tadpoles, aquatic insects including moths and possibly toads, but that has not been confirmed.
"In the early years of Brisbane's settlement, horrified fish keepers reported finding their prize goldfish in the chelicerae [pincer-like claws] of a Dolomedes on edge of their elegant pond."
Yeah, good.
A bunch of spiders the museum team have identified were in the Dolomedes genus.
"I found a spider that hunts prey on water using waves and associated vibrations, but soon after it became apparent that there were many more spiders that fell within this group and the scope had to be extended," arachnologist Robert Raven said.
"We discovered a whole host of species in the Dolomedes genus and it has led to these new species being described."

Raven, who obviously loves spiders given he's dedicated his life to studying them, was pretty excited about this.
And, yeah, leaving phobias aside, we concede that it is kinda cool.
Raven said some of these new spiders were some of the most interesting he'd come across, thanks to their striking hides.
"The spiders in the Ornodolomedes genus are some of the most beautiful Australian water spiders I have ever seen in my career due to their various patterns and colours," he said.
"The photos do not do them justice."
With 23 new names to think up, the team were given a bit of creative scope, naming one species the Ornodolomedes mickfanningi, after surfer Mick Fanning.
There was also the Ornodolomedes nicholsoni, named "… in honour of Jack Nicholson, an actor who so brilliantly portrays diverse personalities".
And then there were some less creative approaches to naming, such as the Ornodolomedes xypee.
"The species name is an arbitrary combination of letters," a researcher wrote.

Pantera's "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott is to Arlington what Elvis Presley is to Memphis, Tennessee. Like the king of rock 'n' roll's memorial in Graceland, the king of metal guitar's memorial brings fans from across the country to the Moore Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Arlington where they leave behind whisky, guitar picks and other memorabilia in honor of the late Texas guitar slinger.
Unlike Elvis' Graceland, a 23-room mansion south of Memphis, Dime's home is a modest-sized brick home in South Arlington. But like the king of rock, Dime left behind a lifetime of memories still hanging on the walls throughout the home. "DimebagzHag" Rita Haney says she feels closer to Dime sitting inside the home they once shared in South Arlington than the memorial at the graveyard where fans congregate to honor one of their own.
The home has been preserved the way Dime left it when he died on December 8, 2004, but it has never been open to the public. The Dallas Observer, however, was granted an exclusive look by Haney. Here's what we saw. Check out the full slideshow here.
Dime pictured with his brother, Vinnie Paul, and his guitar hero Eddie Van Halen. Dime claimed he was always breaking the headstock off his guitars.
Dime's love of KISS is well known. He was buried in a KISS casket.

Dime was always winning awards. Legend has it that he was so good slinging his guitar that he was eventually banned from entering local guitar contests because no one could beat him.

FunCom's The Secret World deserves credit for trying something different in the Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) space, with an urban fantasy setting and a conspiracy theory-laden narrative. The traditional levels and classes of the orthodox MMO have been replaced by a universal set of Skills and Abilities: any character can become proficient in any weapon they want.
Other areas - crafting, fetch quests, wandering monsters - are all present and correct, but mixed in with lavish dialog and story elements, and investigative quest that send player out of the game and onto the Internet to research a network of fake websites and real data.
Although it may suffer from high expectations as well as high cost to entry, The Secret World is doing something interesting and involving - and it is doing it well enough to deserve the curiosity of MMO stalwarts and curious fans of Ragnar Tørnqvist, Funcom's mercurial creative lead.

Read Paul's secret to success in life, Philippians 4:11-13. Paul wrote Philippians while sitting in jail, yet he could say I'm content in all circumstances, because Christ strengthens me. Our entire society seems to be discontented. In fact, it feels like we are all becoming drama queens. Every little thing becomes major. Do you see that with your children as well? Yet Paul had this inner peace. He knew because Christ lived in him that even if the worst thing happened he would be okay, due to Christ power. Pretty convicting!! I would encourage you to read all of Philippians. Philippians is often called the Epistles of Joy. Paul repeatedly say his joy is not based on circumstances, but on Christ. Here are some questions to consider and please share if you are comfortable:
1. Is my contentment based on my circumstances or my relationship with Christ?
2. What or whom steals my contentment the most?
3. How can I start living in Christ strength instead of my own?
4. If the worst thing happens in my life that I can imagine, will God still be on his throne
and in control?
5. How can I daily rejoice in the Lord always?
One of the things in studying these verses that truly stood out to me was Paul said he had learned to be content in all circumstances. So, Paul didn't come by it automatically he grew to learn to be content. So, we may not get there over night, but we can daily work on being content in all circumstances, because Christ is our power and strength. Please share your thoughts on these verses.
