Sorry to disappoint everyone, this blog entry is not about the sultry, uninhibited sexual explorations from the book with the same title, I am talking about hair color.
My hair turned grey in my thirties. I have salt and pepper hair (like the dude in this picture) and always dyed them back to black trying to look youthful and fresh. After I moved to NYC, I gradually stopped dying my hair black (well, the truth was that I couldn't find a NYC stylist dying my hair) so I wore my hair in this grey color loud and proud.
I have received many compliments about my salt and pepper hair so it is comforting knowing that I made the right choice keeping my natural color hues. It is also interesting to know that hair product companies also manufacturing "grey" dye so guys can look like a hot silver fox. Even the ladies from Hollywood are sporting this trend looking regal and sophisticated.
I think it is time to embrace individuality included sporting grey hair. Having grey hair doesn't mean I am old; I am simply mature and have more life experience. Plus, Elliot, my adorable yorkie, also looks amazing in a few shades of grey. Woof …

The Big 5 Questions: Their Answers Will Revitalize Your Church – Part 14
No strategy for helping people find a place to serve is complete until we have a plan to both equip and evaluate them in their effort. Far too many churches seem to think they've achieved their goal at the moment someone says, "Yes, Pastor, I'll be glad to help." But unless there's a quality plan for training and a system to give them needed guidance and feedback, their serving won't be satisfying for long.
If you're just joining us, we've been walking through the five questions every local church needs to be asking to bring new energy and life to their congregation. While we're working on question four–How will we help people find a place to serve?–let's take a quick look back at the entire journey.
Our first question—How do we engage new people?—helped us see the critical need to develop specific strategic steps for connecting with people throughout our community. There simply can be no new day at your church without some new life!
Our second question occupied us for several blogs—How will we treat them when they walk through our doors? As we said, it would be tragic to work hard to connect with someone only to drop the ball when they visited our church. Effective hospitality and assimilation strategies are some of the most critical elements of a church health plan.
Next, we tackled–How will we teach them how to follow Jesus? Here, we looked at both the content and the settings where discipleship teaching is delivered. You must have a plan for people to engage, and then, of course, you'll need to encourage them to engage that plan.
When we ask our current question–"How will we help them find a place to serve?–we have already considered helping people find their gifts and find a place to use them. But, we can't stop there. In fact, it's really our efforts to equip, encourage, and evaluate that set us up for an easier time recruiting folks to serving posts. If you provide the needed support for helping someone to succeed, you'll create the type of environment that nurtures others to say "yes" to your ministry invitation.
In this context, training simply means showing someone the "how" and "why" of their effort. Too many church leaders assume their people know what they know. Some end up in long-term teaching roles without ever receiving training. I can't think of a community that would accept such carelessness in their school system!
Now training doesn't need to be complex, but it's caliber should connect appropriately with its level of responsibility. I can teach someone to be an usher or greeter in about twenty minutes, but training a good teacher will require a bigger investment. So, how do we do this at our church? is a very important question.
Your training should also include clearly conveying "why" we do what we do. It's the "why" that helps people endure difficulty. When I know why I'm fulfilling an assignment, I can connect more easily to a meaningful experience. In general, your training should include "one part why" for every "two parts how."
And don't forget to encourage and evaluate. Every individual, no matter how gifted, needs a little fine-tuning in their ministry effort. Sadly, many good folks have developed bad ministry habits over the years, largely because no one was there to nip that behavior when it was forming. I once met a Sunday school teacher who used his podium to spout his political views each Sunday. (Terrible idea!) Unfortunately, he'd been doing this for years and now even his pastor was afraid to insert some correction. It seems likely that this good man would have been more open to a slight nudging away from this behavior early in his teaching career than he will now that he's cemented this conduct in his "normal" routine. People will almost always be more receptive to correction in their earliest efforts than they will be later, so don't miss those windows!
A training and evaluation plan lets people know how much you care about their success. When we give time to their ministry development, we show them that what they are doing truly matters and that we are fully invested in helping them be effective. So answering our fourth question really requires quite a lot. We must help people connect to a place where they can serve God in a meaningful way and then continue to monitor and guide their efforts for lasting success. If you do that, and do it well, people will want to be on your team!
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 234
- "I will come back and take you to be with me" (John 14:3).
This is the greater purpose of Christ's return. He comes again, not so He can institute judgment–though He will do this as well. But He returns to gather, to reunite with His disciples and to take them with Him. This is who God is–Emmanuel. He is the God who desires to be with us. I have often thought it amazing that God's idea of Heaven is to be with us. Surely, ours is to be with Him, but His desire to be with us forever defies description.
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 233
- "In my Father's house are many rooms" (John 14:2).
There's room for you where I am going. That's the message of these words in the literary context. Jesus has told His disciples that He is leaving them and they can't follow yet, but in Father's house, there's room for them. His promise of eternity surely provides sufficient proof that the disciples were already members of His eternal kingdom. All that remained for them was the act of Jesus to open that door. So they shouldn't lose heart, even when the evident situation looks bleak. Neither should we.
The Big 5 Questions: Their Answers Will Revitalize Your Church – Part 13
As we continue to explore our 4th of these critical five questions–How will we help them find a place to serve?–we need to ask the question of gifts.
In today's church, there's much being made of discovering one's gifts–and rightly so. Pastors and church leaders hope that when people discover their gifts, they will find a ministry fit that will provide them with the meaningful involvement that both changes their lives and keeps them involved. We all know that when people are involved in ministry that fits their abilities, they enjoy it and are so much more effective.
But before we grab a gift test off the internet and launch a congregation wide assessment of our gifts, let's consider what we're really looking for. Unfortunately, many gift searches simply explore someone's abilities or personal interests. "I like doing that" or "I'm pretty good at that" have replaced the real idea behind God's effort to equip His Church.
When God promised gifts like pastor, wisdom, mercy, faith, and a host of others, He was speaking of supernatural endowments provided by the Holy Spirit–not talents that we brought into the church door with us. While we don't ignore natural abilities and interest, we know we have received a gift from God when we can't imagine any other source. So a shepherd boy becomes a great king (David) or a scared farmer emerges as a great warrior (Gideon). I doubt Gideon would have scored high in "warrior" on his spiritual gift test!
A new or growing passion might be a greater clue to what God is doing in our lives. A new capacity could be God's gift. Years ago, a newly-converted and Spirit-baptized young woman stood before our congregation to sing a solo. No one knew what to expect, even her. When she began to sing, jaws dropped–even hers. God had given her an amazing gift way beyond her previous efforts to sing-a-long with the radio. A few weeks later, we discovered she could preach even better!!
Years ago, our church was searching for a Sunday school teacher for pre-teen girls. One leader suggested a certain shy and socially-awkward girl. We thought he was crazy. But it was his decision and she turned out to be an amazing teacher–the assignment literally transformed her into an amazing Christian leader. The gift had been given and somehow one guy was able to see it.
Gift tests are useful, but they can never replace the eye-test and heart-test. Remember that the Early Church didn't use assessment tools to discern the work of the Holy Spirit. The gifts God had given were revealed by the Spirit and men and women simply stepped out in faith and began to use them. Okay, maybe "simply" is a bit optimistic, but they let their hearts lead their hands and soon found a power and ability they didn't previously possess.
So, how do you help people discover their gifts? If you simply put them to work doing the same kind of things they do all week long, you'll likely get good performance, but you may not find what God is up to in their lives. Encourage people to follow their heart, to listen to the voice of the Spirit, and to give their best to the needs right in front of them. Somewhere on that path, God will reveal what He has uniquely created and empowered them to do. And that will be amazing!
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 232
- "Do not let your hearts be troubled" (John 14:1).
There is always much to trouble one's heart, especially when your Master is about to be put to death before your own eyes. Here, Jesus wants His disciples to know the greater story behind what they are about to see. He is preparing a place for them. By His death and His resurrection, they will find a place in God's eternal kingdom. Some have the idea that Jesus is promising to build them a place, but the Father's house already has many rooms, and it's unlikely that they need repair. Instead, Jesus is letting us see that by His death, He is giving us residence there. One could say that He is preparing us to be welcomed there.
The Big 5 Questions: Their Answers Will Revitalize Your Church – Part 12
Well, we're finally ready for our fourth of the five big questions that will help revitalize your local church. As you may have noticed by now, each of these questions comes as a step in the process of connecting with and discipling new people. Only when we achieve such an outward, people focus can new life come to a congregation and only such a focus will maintain the health of that local church too.
So, before we jump into question four, let's review a bit. Our first question—How do we engage new people?—helped us see the critical need to develop specific strategic steps for connecting with people throughout our community. There simply can be no new day at your church without some new life!
Our second question occupied us for several blogs—How will we treat them when they walk through our doors? As we said, it would be tragic to work hard to connect with someone only to drop the ball when they visited our church. Effective hospitality and assimilation strategies are some of the most critical elements of a church health plan.
Next, we considered our third of these critical five questions for strengthening your church–How will we teach them how to follow Jesus? Here, we have given some thought both to our content and the "how" of our delivery system. The very nature of making disciples is delivering the life changing truth of Jesus' teaching through the relationships we have with those who desire to follow Him. Every local church needs a plan for helping its people fulfill this critical commission.
Question four? How will we help them find a place to serve?
Serving is the only way you can follow a servant. There's simply no other means of following Jesus than learning to put others ahead of yourself and give your best to their needs. Surely, I don't have to tell you of the nature of serving. We know that it demands humility, love, and a genuine heart to see others grow.
But, a local church needs a plan for helping people shift to this life focus. No one is naturally servant-oriented. We all tend toward self-centeredness. So if we're going to help people learn to serve, we must do more than just assign them a task. We must teach them the "heart" of a servant.
Here's a mistake many congregations make. They think serving is simply finding something for someone to do. Help us with this…try this and see if it fits…Hey, we need someone to do this. Unfortunately, these "invitations" alone leave us still trying to connect with someone's self-centeredness. So the "serving" questions become "Does this fit you?" "Are you enjoying your area of ministry?" "Are you finding fulfillment in your serving?" A real servant would be puzzled by such questions.
Serving requires an attitude of the heart that says, Whatever needs to be done…I'm willing. How do you teach that? First, by modeling that focus. People need an example of someone who sacrifices for the good of others.
Second, you must help people develop a humble spirit. In a self-focused culture, humility is hardly original equipment. Lessons that address the "why" and the "how" of humility are essential to those for whom such attitudes are foreign.
Third, you must connect the dots between serving and loving Jesus. It's our love for Christ that ought to fuel our efforts of serving. The idea that we love what we do for Christ isn't always true. But we love the One we do it for. Help people see that serving is the primary way we demonstrate that love or, as some have described it, love Him back. Truth is, there will be many days when your efforts to serve aren't fun or exciting or personal fulfilling, but that's where serving differs from being served. Servants don't serve because it's fun. They serve because of their commitment to their Master.
Next time, we'll look at a second step in answering this critical fourth question, but there is no way we can overemphasize the important of this first step. Without a servant's heart, a person will never learn to grow in Christ. Only when we learn to humble ourselves will we put ourselves in position to become true followers of the greatest Servant human history has ever known.
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 231
- "I will lay down my life for you" (John 13:37).
It's been quite a chapter for Simon Peter. Chapter 13 began with Jesus' washing His disciples' feet and Peter initially resisting his Master's touch. Now, as he understands Jesus to be explaining the result of rising opposition, Peter tries again–this time insisting that he is ready to die with and for his Master as well. And, once again, Peter's need to put himself forward is met with correction. He's like a lot of us. We try hard. We want to insert ourselves into stories that aren't ours to live. We want to do right, be right, and seldom give thought that we might need to just be still and do nothing. The moments confronting Jesus aren't Peter's to direct or control. Just as much of our lives aren't ours to dictate either.

Hey guys, girlfriend's got a restraining order against you? Thinking of stalking her on Facebook instead? Well think again. A man has been charged with violating his no-contact order after "liking" his ex-girlfriend's Facebook videos and photos.
April Holland filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Justin Bellanco, claiming he had been stalking and harassing her and her friends -- even threatening to shoot her in the knee cap just to watch her suffer. According to the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, the judge granted Holand's order on August 4, forbidding Bellanco from making contact for a full year.
And then Bellanco had to go and "like" 22 of Holland's photos and videos. Busted! Also, what a creepy, weird thing to do. Police arrested him and charged him with contempt of court.
More from The Stir: 5 Signs Someone Is Stalking You on Facebook
Of course, Holland could have enabled Bellanco to follow that court order by blocking him from Facebook. But that's not her job -- ultimately it's his responsibility to resist the temptation to stalk her online. According to the Citizen's Voice Bellanco didn't know Facebook stalking counted. But please -- surely he knew that at the very least he was pushing a boundary he really shouldn't.
Think of how Holland must have felt when she saw all those likes. They probably sprung up overnight like mushrooms, the result of a Jägermeister-fueled all-nighter.
Interesting side note: Bellanco filed a restraining order against Holland in 2014 claiming she choked him while he tried to escort her off his property during a dispute. His PFA expired just a few months before she filed hers against him.

Search for Sunshine
This house & garden had recently been completed, the sloping garden had been left in an interesting state with health & safety wooden barriers everywhere. The brief was to create more usable space in the style of a country cottage garden that ensured you could sit in the sun throughout the day. The slopes were created into flat spaces held back with cottage style walling. Steps outside the back door were moved out of sight to create a larger dining area. The central section became a gravel garden, leading to a bench on which to sit & enjoy the afternoon sunshine. The upper section was left to grass with a corner deck that catches the last of the days sunshine.

ESLint provides both a way to disable, both to enable the linting via comments.
/* eslint-disable */
// no lint here!
/* eslint-enable */
Not surprisingly, applying
eslint-disable will disable the linting on the whole file, if then no
eslint-enable is used.
However most of the time, what I need is to disable the linting for a specific rule, on a specific line; in this case I use one of the following methods:

NetDevil Runs Down the top Jumpgate Evolution related news events of 2008, a year which saw the team make significant steps forward towards the game's launch.
2008 was a great year for Jumpgate Evolution and its development, and now we've leapt into 2009 with a spring in our foot we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of the top stories that came out of 2008.
Jumpgate Evolution Playable at Connect – March 2008
In March Jumpgate Evolution was fully playable for the first time at Codemasters Online Connect, a two-day gaming event held in UK for the fans. The game went down a storm with those who played it, showing just a snippet of what's due for the full game release.
Emissaries – March 2008
In early 2008 we launched the Emissary program with the first five Emissaries coming on board after a nomination and voting period, and we're glad to say they're all still with us today helping out on the forums and playing an important role within the community. To date the Emissaries have helped guide new players and participate in important discussion relating to the games direction. Towards the end of 2008 we signed up an additional four Emissaries, two for the French community and two for the German community.

This section is designed to supplement the lessons in the Earth Windows section of A Living Laboratory: Volcanoes.
The links on the right are hand outs used in this section of the lab.
First Meeting:
In your Learning Team's first meeting, decide which components of the eruption each of you will become "expert" in:
Team Member / Area of Expertise
1. __________________________________ The precursory period
2. __________________________________ Pyroclastic Flow
3. __________________________________ Rock debris avalanche
4. __________________________________ Lateral blast
5. __________________________________ Lahars
6. __________________________________ Vertical column
As the assigned "experts," you and your teammates will now take turns leading a discussion, in which you will find out what your teammates already know or believe about your assigned topic, and what they want to know. List these things in "Expert Notes," Sections 1 and 2. As you do your research and share findings with your Expert Group, try to find answers to your Learning Teammates' questions.
Second Meeting:
Taking turns, each member will teach the rest of the team about his/her area of expertise. Teammates should keep notes, including any helpful metaphors or other memory aids, illustrations and diagrams, key words and phrases. Allow time for each expert to answer questions from the group and discuss areas where more information is needed.
Third Meeting:
After the whole class enacts the eruption in a dramatic simulation, a final Learning Team meeting will be held. The purpose this time is:
B. Visual Aids: Draw a diagram or illustration, or choose an object, that will help you show the idea you want to teach. Take turns suggesting ideas or sharing drawings. Select the visual aid you want to use when teaching your Learning Team, and record it in "Expert Notes" section 7B.
C. Descriptive Words and Phrases: In your Expert Group, brainstorm colorful adjectives, adverbs and action verbs that will help you describe your topic to your Learning Team. Select some you like and record in "Expert Notes" section 7C.
D. Learning Activities: Try to think of ways your Learning Team can participate actively while you teach them. Share ideas for games, work-sheets, puzzles, quizzes, simulations, etc., that you might use with your Learning Team. Record the best ideas in "Expert Notes" section 7D.
6. Outline in "Expert Notes" Section 8, your complete, step-by-step plan for teaching your Learning Team about your area of expertise.
1. List events that are the major components of the Mount St. Helens eruption of May 18, 1980. Next to the component, write a brief description or key phrase that describes it.
Event: Description:
2. In complete paragraphs, describe how the May 18, 1980, eruption affected the environment. Give specific examples in each category, below:
B. Animals, including humans:
C. Landscape:
D. Manmade structures:
3. List two or more things you have learned in this unit about cooperative learning:
4. List things that you, personally, might do to improve your performance as a member of a group:
5. Tell what you like best about this activity, and why.
6. Tell what you like least about this activity, and why:
To prepare for your dramatic simulation of the Mount St. Helens eruption of May 18, 1980, take a few minutes to read, think about, and jot some notes on this handout. Then, meet with your Expert Group (lateral blast, pyroclastic flow, lahar, etc.) or Role Group (new groups assigned to the roles of trees and pocket gophers) to share members' ideas and plan your part in the dramatic action.
1. Brainstorm alone, and then with your group, about the characteristics of your assigned role. To help with this, ask yourself . . . If this role (a pyroclastic flow, a tree, a lateral blast, etc.) were a person, it would have these characteristics:
Speech patterns (volume, accent, fast/slow, etc.):
2. Brainstorm alone, and then with your group, about the way your assigned role "acts:"
It looks like . . .
It sounds like . . .
3. Write a description of the action of your assigned role, using ideas from 1 and 2.
4. Brainstorm all the different ways you and your group could dramatize this action. With your group, pick the best one. Make notes on it here.
5. Decide on a sequence. At what point in the eruption sequence does your role start its action? Stop its action? (You may refer to the "Eruption Storyboard" if your teacher provides it, or draw your own cartoon-like set of illustrations depicting stages in the eruption.) What will be your group's first move? Will different members do different things? Where in the 'stage' area will your part of the action take place?
6. Are there materials or props that would make your part of the dramatization more effective? Think about what you might do with the following. In your group, decide which ones (if any) you want to use and which members could provide them:
Person Responsible
Sound effects:
7. Appoint one member to report to the whole class on what your group has decided to do.
8. In whole-class discussion, you will talk about how your plan fits with those of the other groups, and in what order. Everyone must agree that your plan will work.
9. Finally, set the date, finish the preparations, apply the final touches, and . . . "Break a leg!"
Team Members:
_______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________
Country: _________________________
Volcano: _________________________
Instructions: Using resource materials supplied by your teacher or found in your school library, research answers to the following questions about the volcano you have been assigned. Be prepared to share your answers with your teammates.

An industrialist and Managing Director, Coleman technical Industries, Mr. George Onafowokan, is drumming support for the World Economic Forum billed to hold in Abuja next month. He said the forum is targeted at the youths and job creation.
According to him, the forum will allow policy makers and the nation to look inwards as they listen to speakers from across the world talk on economies, prospects and challenges.
"It is good for the nation as a whole to correct the wrong impression held by outsiders about us because of few bad elements among us. We need to be 'proudly green' and advertise our potential to the world," he said.
Onafowokan advised the government to select critical sectors of the economy and intervene, noting that it is the only sure way for the economy to grow. He said the last CBN intervention where industrialists borrowed fund at single digit of 7 per cent with 15 years gestation period lifted the manufacturing sector to the extent that capacities were built and job opportunities created. He stressed that a country such as the United States continuously supports various sectors of its economy especially the banking sector which it gives as much as $87 billion monthly to keep them afloat.
On the rebasing of the gross domestic product (GDP), he said it was long overdue and should be applauded by all. The Coleman boss said rebasing is not about physical cash rather, it allows other economies to understand the worth of the Nigerian economy. He explained that the size and strength of the Nigerian econmy has the capacity to give foreign investors confidence to invest knowing that the economy is large enough to accommodate their investment. He said: "Rebasing allows other economies to understand our worth, it will attract foreign direct investment, earnings and expand our horizon. The higher the base the more likelihood that an investor will have the confidence that he will survive. It is indeed, a feel good factor. It brought out figures from telecommunications, agriculture and others that most people didn't know existed. These have the capacity to attract more people into our country to invest."
He also challenged government to do more in power generation, distribution and transmission. He said the average industrialist spend between 10 to 15 per cent on energy generation. His company, according to him, initially invested N150 million in energy generation where they produced three mega watts and currently have invested N250 million where they will generate five mega watts. He said if government can do more in electricity generation companies will do better and support government employment generation efforts.

Five Things to Help You Think Differently: Issue 3
Posted: Oct 14, 2013
In an effort to help you stay up-to-date on the latest trends in communication, technology, and our dynamic world, we wanted to share some resources to help you think differently about the way your organization is communicating, sharing, and inspiring its constituents.
This week, we're checking in on the Mashable 2013 Social Good Summit, a three-day conference bringing together big ideas and new media to help inspire innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues.
On a personal note, the Social Good Summit gave me an opportunity to look outside my state, region, and even my country to see how we can address problems on a global scale. Hopefully you feel as inspired as I do to take action to create a better world by 2030.
The Opening Day video for the Mashable 2013 Social Good Summit
1. Integrating the Listening Audience into the Conference
In order to make the world a better place by 2030, we first must LISTEN to learn how we can help. The Social Good Summit introduced the concept of keynote listeners to attend presentations and discover new ideas to implement in their daily lives. Judith Rodin of the Rockefeller Foundation was a keynote listener at this year's Summit. Watch as she discusses her key takeaways.
2. Thinking Socially about Philanthropy
Giving Tuesday has become an amazing example of using social media to engage the public in philanthropy. How can your organization move "from charity to change?" Kathy Calvin, Matthew Bishop, Helen Clark, and Jean Case of the UN Foundation discuss what's next in charitable giving.
3. Lessons in Engaging Youth
The Millennial generation has an opportunity to be a driving force for social good and social change. Paul Shoemaker of SVP Seattle talks about how we can engage youth by helping them identify their passions.
4. The Price of Energy Poverty
Did you know that there are approximately 1.3 billion people in the world without electricity and 3 billion people in the world are still using traditional fuels (charcoal, wood, animal dung, etc.) for cooking and heating? This has resulted in 3.5 million deaths, mainly women and children, from indoor pollution. On top of that, we release 90 million tons of carbon pollution into the atmosphere every day. Pete Cashmore of Mashable speaks with Florian Juergs of kuuluu Interactive Entertainment AG, Bahareh Seyedi of Environment and Energy of UNDP, and Dave "Phoenix" Farrell and Rob Bourdon of Linkin Park about energy poverty.
5. Using Mobile Tech for Good
With the use of technology at an all-time high, philanthropists are starting to string together new ways to involve people in giving, specifically through the use of outreach with mobile phones. In fact, mobile phones may one day play a large role in eradicating deadly diseases. Barbara Bush of Global Health Corps and Patty Mechael of mHealth Alliance discuss next steps in global health, social change issues, and the power of technology to save more lives.

Most significant others have probably come to expect the usual bouquet of roses and box of chocolates or perhaps for the guys a box of chocolates and an item of jewelry. Imagine the look on the recipient's face when they are presented with a hand painted portrait from photos or a printed collage of photos on canvas taken over the course of their life together.

As proof of how much this type of gift can be appreciated, one customer had this to say in his testimonial, "I ordered an oil portrait of my girlfriend and had a museum agree to hang it on the wall. I then invited my girlfriend to the museum and she saw it….my next move was to drop to one knee and propose. The rest is history and soon we will be celebrating our first anniversary." Heartwarming stories like this can be found in many of Paint Your Life's customer testimonials, proof that creating paintings from photos can have a profound impact on a person's life.

Since 'growing up' in recent years (although, I am using that term loosely…) I have come to realise how much we as individuals are in charge of our own happiness. It's something that got me thinking, and questioning of all of the things that make me happy, whether I focus on the happy moments in my life enough, and prioritise happiness in general.
When we are younger, we rely on our parents to create the fun for us, and even when we get to school, our friendship groups usually have a big impact in terms of making plans and socialising.
University is a different barrel – you have to be outgoing and confident in order to create friendship groups, and try new things, go to new places, and generally, get out of your comfort zone. In theory, the only thing you have in common with people at university is the fact that you are both studying in the same place… but that's also the exciting thing too – you get to meet a whole new kettle of fish.
Once you've finished uni and enter into adult life, we become more and more in charge of our own happiness. All of a sudden, we aren't getting student loans, our bills aren't included and our friends are spread all across the country.
This is the first time that our life is in our own hands – no more parents, flatmates, lecturers: The start of having to think about where are pennies are going, saving to buy a house, having a baby.
But as we get more busy with life, it becomes increasingly harder to do the little things that used to make us happy; as much as we love it, life tends to get in the way: We have a whole new set of responsibilities.
The thing is, if we dwell on that fact, life becomes hard. It becomes really hard. Feeling as though you have no time is one of the worst feelings in the world – because it's simply not true.
Yes, we spend the majority of our time at work; but without it, we wouldn't get very far.
We still have early mornings for a breakfast date with your boyfriend, evenings off to spend sipping cocktails with your girls, and weekends to catch up with your family. When you start to prioritise your happiness into the free time we do have, your life becomes more fulfilled and you become more content.
I'm not saying you need to do something every evening in order to feel happy, but instead focus on the cosy evenings in as taking a well-deserved break, the new dish you want to try cooking as a chance to experiment in the kitchen, and having people over as a way to save money but spending time with those who mean the most to you.
If you start to focus on how tired and sluggish you feel, how you've got so much to do, but no time to do it, thats exactly how you're teaching your brain to think.
Yes there are always going to be other factors that influence how happy you are, but it is up to you how you go about these situations. If you focus on the negativity, then your mood will plummet. I've found it hard to change the way my mind works, and from time to time, things still do get to me more than they should; but once I remember that I am in control, and I am the only one who can warrant how much something is going to get to me, then it is much easier to get my life back on track and into a happy place.
Last but not least, I am always an advocate for having something to look forward to, whether thats a night out with your friends, a weekend away with your boyfriend, a family gathering or a trip abroad – having something on the horizon is definitely a way of making the most out of your life.
And if you're ever really struggling for money whilst being an adult, you can always apply for a Zippa loan.
Life is what you make it.
I loved this post! You're so right. Life is what we make it and we are in charge of our own happiness at the end of the day. Doing little things each day that can bring joy into our lives can really create an overall more happier wellbeing xx
Lauren | itslaurenvictoria.blogspot.co.uk
Exactly! We don't know how long we're going to be around for so we may as well make the most of every single second and take beauty from it all xxx
And according to scientist people sleep better when they have something to look forward to 😴 😴😴😴

TOPIC: Life on the flip-side...
With conference fast approaching, part of the fun of attending one is meeting the authors and listening to their stories of 'life after getting the CALL'. I took it all in with keen anticipation, dreaming of the day I walked in their shoes, but it wasn't until I stepped over the threshold that I really understood what they were talking about.
Simple fact is getting the call really does change your life in many, many ways. Some good, some unexpected.
Having done the research yonks ago I was already in the process of submitting queries, so contacting my top list of I'd-kill-to-be-represented-by-these-agents was a matter of whipping off a few emails alerting them to the book deal on offer.
I can't stress enough if you're submitting work to editors, and intend being represented by an agent then make the time to find out about whom you'd like to represent you. Leaving it to the last minute is stress you don't need.
Why? Well, that seven days will be manic (particularly if you're working across time zones). Let me repeat that.
Organise representation, scheduling phone calls, e-mails to'ing and fro'ing from your agent and editor, and then sealing the deal with the publisher. Be prepared for a week of little sleep.
And if this isn't excitement enough for you, the prospect of embarking on two new professional relationships – with your agent and editor - is a feeling you won't ever forget.
Another thing, if you end up with a multiple book deal offer, like I did (ie. a series), have a short outline of your books ready to send your agent/editor. Think back cover blurbs. With only a week to negotiate the deal, and most of that taken up arranging representation by an agent, I ended up writing two extra blurbs in less than twenty-four hours. Not recommended.
Remember all those sessions at conference where you heard authors say 'be disciplined, produce a daily word, write even though you don't feel like it'? Engrave those words on your forehead or pin them up in your office at eye level. You no longer have the luxury of time or procrastination once you have a legally binding deadline.
Producing my first and second contracted books has been a huge learning experience but the one thing I now understand is that it takes more time than you think to juggle everything.
It's life vs. the publishing process (sending in a synopsis & sample chapters, author bio/photo, acknowledgements page, revisions, copy edits, cover copies, galleys, marketing and promotion etc., beginning the next book and repeating that process).
It all takes time away from writing your next book. Next contract (yes, being optimistic here!), I'm adding another two months minimum to the deadline.
Another lesson I learned – it's easy to get tied up writing your own stories and end up feeling 'stale'. Reading for pleasure is a must, even when I'm writing. I need it. It's like a respite or recharging of the batteries.
It's been an amazing journey so far, a lot of exciting firsts – getting The Call, receiving the first cover, being hit by the realisation that my book is really going to be in print, finding out who's going to write the cover-quotes of my book, and meeting fair dinkum deadlines.
I have a quote on the wall in my office that says, "When I'm writing I know I'm doing the thing I was born to do." (Anne Sexton). It's so true. I'm almost a year into my journey and while I've yet to experience the joy of seeing my first book on the shelves, I wouldn't give up or swap what I'm doing for anything.
Yes, the learning curves have been steep, and I know I'm still wearing L-plates having just crossed over the unpubbed-pubbed line, but I love my 'new career' - the learning, the passion of creating, the pressure and stress, the satisfaction of meeting goals, they're all part of the life I've chosen for myself.
It's a delicate balance between portraying the joys and the reality of being published. I don't want to discourage anybody or put anyone off achieving their dream, but I hope that by sharing some of my journey with you, yours will be that little bit more informed.
See you on the flip-side!

Thank you so much for sharing :D I hope to one day have that feeling and excitement!ReplyDelete
Excellent post, Kylie. As Leanne said, thanks so much for sharing. I think most of us unpublished writers live in the 'what if' cloud, whereas if we're serious about this business, we need to be very serious about whether we can deal with all the pressures and still write well. All good things to think about.ReplyDelete
I'm still really keen to join you over on the 'published' side of the fence, Kylie. In the meantime, I'll continue to live vicariously through people like you.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.
Great post Kylie. As someone who's waiting for 'the call', I love reading information from 'the other side'!ReplyDelete
There's nothing discouraging in your post - far from it.Ultimately, you now have contractual obligations that must be met. Publishingis a business, and everyone involved needs to treat it as such - not least the writer.
And if us yet-to-be-pubs can get into the habit of treatingit as a business now, before the pressure of a contract hits, then hopefullythat transition will be made slightly easier.
All so very true, Kylie. After having my first contract, it was some months later I was actually glad our three children were 13 years older than that first year I submitted that manuscript - and started getting those rejections!ReplyDelete
I'm certainly glad the information is useful to you - if you're anything like me you want to know what it's like on the other and to be prepared as possible before getting there.ReplyDelete

A very practical post. We spend so much time anticipating just getting The Call that we can forget to anticipate what comes next. Thanks for the reality check! :)ReplyDelete

Xiaomi revealed the global developer version of the MIUI 7 in New Delhi, India. The beta version of MIUI 7 will launch on 24th Aug which will be supported on smartphones like Redmi 2, Redmi 1S, Mi 3, Mi 4, Mi 4i, Redmi Note 3G and Redmi Note 4G. The company has introduced some improvements to performance and battery, while introducing several interesting features on the new MIUI 7.
Top 10 MIUI 7 features
Four system designs: Xiaomi has launched four new system user interfaces- rose, pink blush, ocean breeze, and high life – to suit preferences of users.
Faster response time: MIUI 7 optimizes system response time by loading data and app animation in parallel. The company claims that the firmware increases a smartphone's speed by as much as 30 percent than MIUI 6.
Child Mode: It basically child-proofs the phone, by giving users control on what apps kids can see. It limits access to personal information like emails and messages. You can manually approve and manage which apps can appear in Child Mode in the Settings Menu.
Better battery performance: It brings 10 percent longer battery life in daily usage. Xiaomi claims that apps consume as much as 48 percent battery on standby by accessing GPS, network data and Wi-Fi scanning. By individually optimizing popular apps, MIUI 7 claims to improve battery life by 25 percent, giving you 3 hours extended use each day.
Showtime: This feature allows MIUI users to record a short video loop on their phone and assign them for contacts with Xiaomi phones. So when a person calls, the five second video starts playing in loop on your homescreen instead of the normal ringtone. This feature isn't coming with the upcoming update, but will be rolled out in a few months.
XXL Text: The XXL Text feature introduces five different text sizes for users who like big fonts. The format adjusts conversation layouts and line breaks to provide greater readability.
SMS filter: There is also an interesting SMS filter feature, which moves all non-contact SMSes to notification. The feature also gives option to copy OTP passwords directly from the notification pop-up on top.
Data Saver: It has partnered with Opera Max to provide a new smart Data Saver feature, which compresses browser and in-app media, letting you save up to 50 percent of data usage. This feature will roll out in September to users in China, India, Brazil, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines.
DND: There is also an auto DND feature on MIUI 7. It is paired with Mi Band to know when you have gone to sleep. Once it detects that you've dozed off, it automatically puts your smartphone on DND mode. Note that this feature can be manually turned off in the Settings menu.
Visual IVR: The company has added a few features aimed at the Indian audience including the Visual IVR. This feature essentially lets you manage IVR menus without listening to them. Xiaomi's new ROM now supports ten Indian languages. The feature is available for banking, booking air tickets and much more, and has partnered with 50 Indian companies including Citibank, ICICI bank, Spicejet, Indigo, Tata Sky and HeroMotoCorp.

The magic and atmosphere of a casino is rarely used in the web equivalent, but nowadays it is possible to play live roulette online. There are several fantastic variations on the overall game in many of the arcade casinos on the internet, although I've always found it only a little clinical and without atmosphere. epic slots player
The key problem I've is the part of luck, roulette is just that the game of chance. There is a slight house bias, provided that there is a constant, ever play roulette on a dining table with two zeros - once the bias is a lot larger. But despite that house advantage if lady luck is smiling on after this you you possibly can make a lot of money in an actual roulette game.
Live Roulette Online isn't quite the same
Whenever you play roulette in one particular plush arcade casinos it doesn't feel quite right. Now I'm sure the vast majority of online casinos are completely fair and legitimate, but pressing a button to start to see the spin generated using the pc isn't the same. Lady luck is in the hands of some type of computer program designed to create random results influenced by a complex algorithm. Alas to create that truly random result an individual hand and a great computer wheel is required.
If you've got bored of'arcade casinos ', I urge you to try out real, live roulette online. There's quite a few around now with streaming video technology, you could play online roulette are now living in a casino whilst sitting in the home close to your PC. free online slots
The odds won't be calculated, you've to play in the casino's time and the spins of the roulette wheel actually happen and people will win and lose alongside you on the identical results. SO if you wish to play live roulette online, a casino experience that's not controlled by a computer algorithm, find out about my favourite real casino below.

What we're looking for
We're passionate about encouraging everyone to give nature a home and we're looking for a sociable and inspiring person to be an advocate for the RSPB in the local community. This will involve giving talks to small community groups and being our representative at similar events. Talks will be themed around wildlife, the work of the RSPB and how people can support us. We get requests for our attendance at talks and interest group events throughout the year. These events can be during the day or in the evening and usually last around 2-3 hours, with talks expected to be around 45 minutes on average.

The department led by one of the customers who have recently hired us was becoming increasingly behind in the multinational which owns. His team was nervous and, family, concerned to see increasingly distant and moody. Rediscovering the coaching process, I commented that it was hard to understand why, when he had not had one in charge, I had always complied with the objectives; while, conversely, when finally available a team of competent people, that the work could not come out on time and that would match the requirements of the company. His inability to enlist the help of his team was what was really holding back to his apartment; because they could not get their partners to convey what I wanted from them and motivate them to take him out.
After this important awareness, dedicated several sessions to explore issues that help him discover where he was "treading water" emotional intelligence in order to begin the path to strengthening.
We are emotional beings and emotions They are an essential part of ourselves, so we can not ignore. Conversely, themselves know apropiadamente manejarlas, will be to us a guide that we provide a lot of information, both ourselves and our environment. However, in day to day, not always pay enough attention to emotions: neither ours nor those of the people around us. We prefer to be dragged by them to the point of leaving to take our decisions, direct our actions and control our lives.
In the process of being more emotionally intelligent, the first step is identify and accept the emotions we experience every moment as their own. If the project onto others and blame on others how we are feeling, we are losing control and letting them lead by. Tagged emotion seans that we are paying "attention". This will help us focus on it deliberately and exclusively, especially if it is not desired. Studies about my own experience and find that this observation technique, per se, causes and regulation of emotion and behavior change: a kind of self-regulating process.
But perhaps more importantly to experience emotions, is aware that all emotion appears to cover an emotional need we, this survival either, recognition or respect, and therefore gives us valuable information about ourselves and our interpretation of the events that we perceive. Hence the next step to manage the emotions we experience on a day to day is decrypt the message they are sending us. Experiencing curious about the message they send us our emotions allows us to learn a lot about ourselves and how we perceive what happens to us: Am I interpreting that my team does not respect me? Am I worrying about something that will likely never happen? Did I put too many expectations on that person? Am I asking too much?
Feel this curiosity helps us master emotion and marks the path we follow to put action and solve the challenge, then, we ourselves .
Until you go slowly taking control of the situation, to stop an emotion in a given moment we can use what we call "emotional patches": respiration, the change of body or the use of positive thoughts.
To take this control completely, the last step is to start down the path of self-knowledge and personal change. Only this path I get rid of addiction to the negative emotions and achieve, sustainably, the necessary balance to positively influence ourselves and to be a charismatic leader to influence people around us.

Don't Marry that Man of Faith!
Today, I was thinking about a man I once heard of by the name of George Müller. I heard a very interesting story about him. His wife and him never looked to any needs. They trusted in God to fully provide for their needs as they came. While he had a job, and worked, when all of the fees were taken away, he was only left with about $1,800.00 a year to run an orphanage. Needless to say, they were always very, very poor. But, everytime they would need money, they would always get it, as they trusted in God fully to provide for their needs. One morning, apparently they had run out of food for the orphans. So, they set the table, and prayed that God would bring them some food. There was a knock at the door after the prayer, and there stood the baker, who had, only last night, thought the children might want some fresh bread in the morning. Then, the milkman stopped up, and told them that his milk carriage had broken down outside, and that, by the time it was repaired, all the milk would spoil. He had to have it used up. So, as you can imagine, he told them that the orphanage could use it as they had no milk to go with their bread.
Now, that is a pretty impressive story. I went online to find out if it was true, and found out that George Müller really did, indeed, exist. I found that he was a pagan early in his life, but converted around the age of twenty. Here are some interesting facts [including, a better telling of the story than myself]:
Three weeks after their marriage, they decided to depend upon God alone to provide their needs as already indicated. They carried it to the extent that they would not give definite answers to inquiries as to whether or not they were in need of money at any particular moment. At the time of need, there would always seem to be funds available from some source, both in regards to their private income, and to the funds for his vast projects soon to be discussed. No matter how pressing was the need, George simply renewed his prayers, and either money or food always came in time to save the situation. On February 19, 1832, he records an instance of healing by faith. Suffering from a gastric ulcer, he believed God could heal him and four days later he was as well as ever. In the spring of 1832, he felt he must leave Teignmouth. Craik, his friend, had gone on to Bristol for a visit, and Mueller felt led to go there also. On April 22, he preached his first sermon in Bristol. A friend offered to rent Bethesda Chapel there for a year if the two men would stay and develop a work. Agreeing not to be bound by any stipulation, Craik and Mueller accepted the call. On May 25, 1832, the Muellers settled permanently in Bristol which became his home until he died. A long association with the chapel on Great George Street also began. In July of that year, Bristol was visited with a plague of cholera which took many lives, but none of those among whom he and Craik ministered. On September 17, 1832, his first child, Lydia, was born.
It was on February 25, 1834, that George Mueller founded a new Missionary Institution which he called "The Scriptural Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad." It had four objectives:
1. To assist Sunday Schools, Day Schools and Adult Schools, and where possible to start new ones. 2. To sell Bibles and Testaments to the poor at low prices, and if necessary, to give them free of cost. 3. To aid missionary effort. (This was to provide financial aid to freelance missionaries.) 4. To circulate tracts in English and in various foreign languages.
The Orphan House became a fifth objective, and the most well known enterprise, yet it is right to point out that Mueller was greatly used in developing the other objectives as well.
On March 19, 1834, a son, Elijah, was born but he died the next year, June 25, 1835, from pneumonia, leaving the Muellers with only one child--Lydia. The summer of 1835 found Mueller himself in very poor health, slowing down his pace and giving him time to write "The Narrative of the Lord's Dealing with George Mueller."
For some time he had been thinking about starting an orphanage in Bristol. On December 9, 1835 he presented his burden at a public meeting. No collection was taken, but someone handed him ten shillings and a Christian woman offered herself for the work. After five days of prayer $300 came in and it seemed they might now have enough money to rent a house, equip and furnish it. The other request was for Christian people to work with the children. His basic aim was to have a work - something to point to as visible proof that God hears and answers prayer. His heart went out to the many ragged children running wild in the streets, but that was a secondary reason for starting the orphanage.
He rented Number 6 Wilson Street, where he himself had been living, and on April 11, 1836, the doors of the orphanage opened with 26 children. These were girls between seven and twelve years old.
The second House was opened on November 28, 1836, to care for children from babyhood to seven years of age. In September, 1837, a third house was opened for boys over seven years of age.
Illness plagued Mueller from time to time, and in late 1837 he was very weak. This time his head provided the discomfort. He went to Germany in the spring of 1838 as well as in February, 1840, when he saw his father for a last time. Presumably he still had not accepted Christ as George noted, "How it would have cheered the separation on both sides were my dear father a believer." He died shortly thereafter. The years 1828 to 1843 were surely years of trials for Craik and Mueller as they prayed in everything. All were properly clad and everyone sat down to regular meals in the Houses. Mueller never incurred a debt, and God supernaturally provided for everyone. A well known story indicates the kind of life that was lived:
One morning the plates and cups and bowls on the table were empty. There was no food in the larder, and no money to buy food. The children were standing waiting for their morning meal, when Mueller said, "Children, you know we must be in time for school." Lifting his hand he said, "Dear Father, we thank Thee for what Thou art going to give us to eat." There was a knock on the door. The baker stood there, and said, "Mr. Mueller, I couldn't sleep last night. Somehow I felt you didn't have bread for breakfast and the Lord wanted me to send you some. So I got up at 2 a.m. and baked some fresh bread, and have brought it." Mueller thanked the man. No sooner had this transpired when there was a second knock at the door. It was the milkman. He announced that his milk cart had broken down right in front of the Orphanage, and he would like to give the children his cans of fresh milk so he could empty his wagon and repair it. No wonder, years later, when Mueller was to travel the world as an evangelist, he would be heralded as "the man who gets things from God!"
By March, 1843, he felt the need for a second home for girls. On July, 1844, the fourth house on Wilson Street was opened--the total of his homeless waifs now being 130. A letter received on October 30, 1845, changed his entire ministry... he was now age 40. Basically, it was a letter from a local resident complaining that the noise of the children was a nuisance. They were vastly over-crowded and there was not enough space for land cultivation, washing clothes, etc. He gave the letter much thought, listing the pros and cons. If he were to leave, he would have to build a structure to hold at least 300 orphans at a cost of $60,000. On his 36th day of prayer over the dilemma, the first $6,000 came in for a building program. By June, 1848, he received all of the $60,000 which he needed. He had begun to build the previous year on July 5, 1847, at a placed called Ashley Downs as the bulk of the money had been sent in. Building Number 1 was opened in June, 1849, and housed 300 children with staff sufficient to teach and care for them. It was a seven-acre site and finally cost about $90,000 as legal expenses, furnishings, and land purchase brought the price up higher than anticipated. The old houses on Wilson Street emptied and everyone was now under one roof.
Mueller was becoming a well known Christian leader. He answered some 3,000 letters a year without a secretary. Besides his orphanages, the four other objectives of his Scriptural Knowledge Institution claimed his attention and he continued his pastoral work at Bethesda Chapel also.
In 1850, he felt the need for a second orphanage. Donations began to come in miraculously again and finally, on November 12, 1857, a second building housing 400 children at a cost of $126,000 was built. Number 3 opened on March 12, 1862, housing 450 children, and costing over $138,000. It was housed on 11 1/2 acres. Number 4 was opened November 5, 1868, and Number 5 on January 6, 1870. These last two cost over $300,000 and housed 450 each.
From 1848 to 1874, money came in to improve and expand the work which went from 130 orphans to 2,050 during this time and up to 13 acres. Mueller describes these days, writing in 1874:
But God, our infinite rich Treasurer, remains with us. It is this which gives me peace. Moreover if it pleases Him, with a work requiring about $264,000 a year...would I gladly pass through all these trials of faith with regard to means, if He only might be glorified, and His Church and the world benefited...I have placed myself in the position of having no means at all left; and 2,100 persons, not only daily at the table, but with everything else to be provided for, and all the funds gone; 189 missionaries to be assisted, and nothing whatever left; about one hundred schools with 9,000 scholars in them, to be entirely supported, and no means for them in hand; about four million tracts and tens of thousands of copies of the Holy Scriptures yearly now to be sent out, and all the money expended...I commit the whole work to Him, and He will provide me with what I need, in future also, though I know not whence the means are to come.
His own personal income varied around $12,000 a year, of which he kept for himself $1,800 giving the rest away.
His fellow worker, Henry Craik, died on January 22, 1866, followed by the death of his wife on February 6, 1870. She was 72 and had suffered from rheumatic fever. James Wright married Mueller's daughter, Lydia in 1871 and also replaced Craik as his associate. Mueller himself remarried on November 30, 1871, to a Susannah Grace Sangar, whom he had known for 25 years as a consistent Christian. He was 66 and she in her late forties, a perfect companion for him in his ministries still ahead.
Mueller decided to fulfill the many requests for his appearance around the world. Turning the work over to Wright, from 1875 to 1892, Mueller made 16 preaching trips to various sectors of the world...
It was on January 13, 1894 that his second wife passed away after 23 years of marriage. He was now 89 years old, and was living out his days in Orphan House #3. He preached his last sermon on Isaiah's Vision, March 6, 1898 at Alma Road Chapel in Clifton. On March 10, 1898 the maid went to his room, and found him dead on the floor by the side of his bed. The funeral in Bristol on March 14th has never been surpassed there as tens of thousands lined the streets. The grief of the orphans was evident. He was buried by the side of his two wives...
Over 3,000 of his orphans were won to Christ through his ministry by the Holy Spirit.
As most of you remember [yes, this does have a connection], I commented on a blog entry yesterday about a woman who wants to have a rally basically because she did not get her own way in the dating scene. She is now giving more details, and what we are finding out is that her post was as vague as her "pseudo-relationship." Anyway, Debbie Maken has taken the time to comment on the post. I want you to contrast Debbie Maken's comments with the life and attitude of George Müller:
Here I go on the record. Women wanting or desiring men who earn well is not a reflection of their lack of trust in God or their pecuniary interest in money through marriage. It has to do with simple economics of-- will he be able to provide for a family. This sentiment does not deserve an apology. It is amazing to me that men in this culture voluntarily choose jobs and professions that are dead-ends, they make educational decisions all along the way that have consequences, and yet they think that their choices should be consequence free from the women that may find them interesting or mate worthy. Lack of ambition and lack of development of talents in men is routinely covered up in spirituality, and I do not think any woman should ever have to plead disinterest in future earnings of a man in order to prove they are "nice," or "not mean." When people interview for certain jobs, guess what-- there have to be certain kinds of qualifications in place-- no hospital would hire a doctor who never attended medical school. Why is it that the qualification of earning potenial is always villified? It is one of the elements of consideration for any woman serious about marriage, and no apologies need be had about it. Again, this is a place where parity plays a great deal, and I think that those who have made choices that afford them more monetary rewards should be able to ask for the same in the other partner, as well as asking for the same amount of intellectual development, or parity in looks, etc.
I do want you to start that revolution, and I have some ideas. Please email me through my blog-- email@example.com, and give me your email, so that we can communicate.
Well, first of all, if you are going to start a revolution, you might want to get arguments that are rationally defensable, rather than just this irrational emotionalism.
Worse than that, did you catch what she said here? The man who a woman women marries must be able to take care of a family monetarily beforehand. Well, apparently, Debbie Maken would have to say that her daughter could not marry the Reverend George Müller. While Müller did, indeed, work hard to take care of his family, he did not make enough income to even support his work at the orphanage, much less a family and children.
I just would like to point out that, in the end, history has remembered the Reverend George Müller. In fact, the website from which this was taken, is entitled "Faith Hall of Fame." He is someone who was recognized on a PCA website. There are many Christians today who have not even heard of Debbie Maken. Therefore, for Debbie Maken to make these kinds of comments in light of a great man of faith such as George Müller is simply incredible.
BTW, just so you know, George Müller lived in the ninteenth century, so, he could not be effected by any "modern cultural thinking on marriage."
