I haven't publish in a while and I apologise. I was moving to another continent for a new adventure. I'll tell you more about it very soon. But now, let's have a look back at my two years in London.
I lived in the British capital for two years. During that time, I visited a lot of museums. London is an amazing place to be for museum lovers. First, their number: there are so many of them, from the common touristy to the unexpected creepy. Secondly, permanent exhibitions in national museums are free. You can just go wonder for an hour or even less. You choose, make your own agenda. Finally, London is a place where museums try new things, they are innovative, forward-looking. I have seen successes and failures. It makes it exciting. In two years, I built my opinions and after a while had my favourite places. I am sharing here my top 5. Based on my own experiences and interests, it will give you insight inside – and I hope will make you want to go to – one of the best museum's scene in the world.
1- The British Museum
This might be my favourite museum! It is a complete marvel. I fell in love with the British museum with the exhibition South Africa: the art of a nation around Christmas last year, which I keep a vivid memory of. Then I started going back to visit the permanent galleries. I think I have not seen everything yet but I like it. I still have things to discover. What I loved the most when I was in London was to go there just for an hour – you get tired of the crowd quickly – looking at one room, maybe two. I kept falling in love with the objects (the collection is amazing). Moreover the central room is incredible: the building's architecture in itself is a marvel and the space impressive. I could just sit there for a while, feeling the amazing vibes and atmosphere.
2- The Fan Museum
This small museum, located in the heart of Greenwich in South London, is like a home, but one full of fans. I interned there for six months last years and then continued to volunteer and work with them. It's a special place. The collection is outstanding and surprising sometimes – who would believe a fan could be covered with diamonds or hide a knife? – I fell in love with the subject-matter, the objects, the place and the staff devoted to make you enjoy your visit. The first time I went, I was seduced in a second. It is the kind of place you don't want to leave. The Fan Museum makes you understand the importance of small museums – and you will taste the most perfect British afternoon tea in the Orangery.
3- Somerset House
Somerset House is particular. It is not a museum per se. It is a cultural venue which hosts art-related events and exhibitions. I have put it in this list because I have seen some incredible exhibitions there. Big Ban Data in early 2016, Hair which opened at the end of 2016 and the recent Perfume figures among the best exhibitions I have seen in London. The subjects and research are always spotted on and the design of the space is always thought in close relation with it. The practice as a whole is forward looking and innovative, often giving the opportunity for interaction and participation. I used to go there to be inspired, see experiments and get new ideas.
4- The Victoria & Albert Museum
I couldn't not put it in the list. This museum presents an impressive decorative art collection and to wonder around the rooms is a pleasure. The fashion collection is amazingly rich and the museum has organised some major exhibitions these past years (Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty for instance) which places it at one of the top European fashion museums. I personally loved Opus Anglicanum: Masterpieces of the English Medieval Embroidery at the end of 2016, which made me fall in love with a subject I knew little about. The V&A has the kind of aura big museums have: after an hour or two, you want to leave but once you do, you want to go back.
5- London Transport Museum
I hesitated before choosing the fifth museum of this list. Some others were coming to me but London Transport Museum had such an impact on my approach to curation that I decided to talk about it. Transport museums in general are quite particular. Transports being such common things in our everyday, the point is to make it however appealing and interesting (the attitude is at the opposite of an art museum which showcases rare objects). This makes them try innovative curatorial practices. In this job, London Transport Museum in Covent Garden succeeds – for instance, digital installations punctuate the exhibitions (see video). In the permanent galleries, there are two journeys possible: one for the adults and one for the kids, each one respecting a particular strategy in terms of interpretation and design (by the way, the wall museum is beautifully designed) and each one being harmoniously with the other. It is a museum made for its visitors. I could feel that what matters was the audience, their visit, the time they spend at the museum, what they could learn, memorise, retain; more than the actual objects. I am not saying that the collection is not taking care of or paid attention to, it is, but the objective is clearly that the visitor learn and enjoy his/her visit first. The exhibition is designed towards the visitor, considered a person with a body and not just a viewer. Visiting the galleries, I understood the power of design combine to curation: it can make wonders. It is a museum made for its public and it was the first time such a thing appeared obvious to me. This can sound surprising but I actually find it very refreshing.
I hope this list will inspire you. My only advice would be to go visit London and spend some time their, it is an incredible city with an incredible museum' scene.

He scrolled through his reader, looking at his blog and scanning the 'net. Captain Toes was bored. There was a meeting in a few moments to discuss his choice of destination, Frystur, a fairly large ice planet with few Stakes of Claim for Resources. His Interstellar Planet and Heavenly Bodies Guide listed it as having methane, chlorine, and oxygen ice fields. There are also minerals and ores that have value on the Intergalactic Metals and Chemicals Exchange, so he was really excited to arrive there.
After a meeting with his bridge crew and having set the ship on auto pilot they went to hyper. He walked through the ship and stopped at the mess hall. Then he went his room, and now it was simply travel time
He entered the bridge when the proximity alarm sounded in his room. The bridge was buzzing and he could see a lot of ships in their space…and no hyper.
"Captain, we have escape pods…lots of them and are about to start retrieving them."
He looked out the window, "How many?"
" There are thousands sir. we have the capacity for 100…," The unidentified officer trailed off, busily instructing his co-workers. The captain sat down, nothing to do but observe until the retrieval crew closed the hatches and the med department called him to the cargo hold.
After several hours Captain Toes stood in the cargo with the ship doctor as the assessment and opening process begin. Once all escape pods had been opened and survivors quickly examined they were escorted to the passenger deck. They received fresh clothes, meals and their names were recorded. The Alice Marie was rerouted towards Earth and they returned to hyper.
She stepped out of the elevator onto the empty upper passenger deck. The environmental systems were at idle to conserve ship stores.
Tori Zapps looked out at the stars and laid down. She was lonely, she missed her family; her and a hundred other colonists rescued by the IGV-Alice Marie.
Stuffed into planetary escape pods and blasted into space when it became apparent that their homeworld was doomed to meet an asteroid head-on, some 10,000 survivors were plucked from space by passing ships, many owned by the numerous private companies and mercenary groups that had sprung up in the wake of NASA's demise.
An intergalactic agreement dictated they meet up in Earth orbit within 6 months, so maybe she would be reunited with her family after all.
The majority of rescued colonists were under 20 years of age and therefore were considered to be a valuable resource by the various independent contractors whose trading routes criss-crossed this sector of the galaxy, meaning there was stiff competition to retrieve as many of the drifting pods as possible.
Tori was, according to the tests administered by the med staff, a math prodigy, something that would stand her in good stead with whichever company secured her as a crew member.
She fiddled with her music player, found a song and pressed play. It was also determined that she was resourceful enough to be independent so she had two skill-sets that Captain Toes expected from his crew and staff. She had never experienced this kind of freedom, or loneliness for that matter.
She did have to attend some classes but mostly she was free to roam the ship; "Just read signs, respect the locks and be respectful to staff and crew." the captain had told her. Of course, this directive wasn't aimed specifically at her, but all the survivors of the planet evacuation. For a while she dozed, only to be woken some time later by a security patrol who feared the atmospheric conditions, markedly different from those she was used to, might be harmful to her. She was rapidly becoming used to her new environment though, one of the advantages of youth was a certain adaptability to the constantly changing conditions of interstellar travel and Tori was integrating well already.
She went to a VR gameroom and spent half an hour or so fiddling with some 3D modelling programs. She liked the idea of being able to walk inside a model of a chemical compound and alter its molecular structure, it was a little like playing at being a god. And the Ion engine simulator was really cool.
After a while she realized she was hungry and found her way to the mess hall. She tried some boudin and and ate some crawfish too; so different from colony food. For a while she wasn't lonely, for a moment she was having fun in this new world.
Captain Toes surveyed the empty escape pods. He wondered what it must be like to blast your kids, your family, into unknown space. One hell of a way to save a colony from destruction! He would sell these used units to a salvage shop on Earth moon. Hell, it'd give him a chance to visit Earth proper and touch some famous dirt. He could visit some of the ancient ruins, maybe find some trinkets. He signed off on the inspection and left the hold. He needed to read the damage report regarding the hinge failure. There was a damage report meeting coming up soon. Hungry, he headed for the mess hall.
When he entered the mess hall he saw one of the young survivors looking at the menu. Her bright green outfit was intended to keep her safe. It swallowed her, even the smallest adult size was too large. Her name tag said Tori Zapps.
"Hello, young lady, what you ordering?" The girl stammered, visibly startled by his voice, and removed her ear buds,
"Not sure sir, never had much choice when I was at the colony…but something smells sooo good!!!" She looked quizzically at the captain, waiting for his suggestion.
Captain Toes took the cue and ordered for them. For the next 45min they enjoyed their dinner and she forgot her loneliness.

Handling async in Redux with Sagas
Using Redux is a nice way to code structured, testable Javascript applications. But there's still one thing that can prove to be a challenge, asynchronous operations.
Note: This article was originally written January 23, 2016, because redux-saga changed a lot since, it is updated for the latest version as of October 1, 2016. Most notably
while (true) { take(ACTION) } is replaced with
takeEvery (old version still works though) and you now need to have one 'root saga'.
If you don't know about redux, you can check out my article about it:
"Functionally managing state with Redux"
Asynchrony is not hard to achieve in Javascript, the language is perfectly suited for it. But testing async behaviour and implementing it in a structured way, is another story.
In redux, the events happening in the application are called Actions. Actions are just plain objects containing a description of an event, they get dispatched to the store which handles them further. Actions are made by convenience functions called Action creators. Because of this, the one dispatching the action, does not need to know it's exact structure.
This means you can also do some logic before returning the Action itself. However, this logic needs to be synchronous, because in the end you need to return a plain object. But what if you need to do async logic?
Async actions
Say we want to save the score to the server. We want to dispatch actions as follows:
We could use redux-thunk middelware for this. This middleware allows us to dispatch functions instead of plain objects. These functions will be passed a reference to
store.dispatch. Here's how we could implement our save score action with redux-thunk middleware:
This looks pretty good, there's a nice overview of what happens. The downside is testability. A lot of async action is happening inside the Action creator:
- A function is returned that first dispatches an action.
- Fetch is called which returns a promise.
- A callback is registered at the promise, which on it's turn dispatches an action.
A test would look something like this:
This is fine and it works. But imagine having a lot of actions doing API calls and also having to test error handling. It will be more work doing and debugging all the mocking and setup, instead of actual testing.
Using middleware
Why not use middleware, we could write generic middleware that does requests, and use it in our action like this:
But then your Action creators still need to pass a callback along with the Action. So although they are now vanilla actions again, to test their behaviour you still need to do all the mocking.
Middleware runs every time an action enters the store, before it reaches the reducer. Middleware is mostly used to perform generic operations on certain or all actions, like logging or doing requests.
A Saga
Redux-saga has a really nice solution for this issue. It separates the async logic from the action by putting it into 'Sagas'. Sagas can be seen as little stories that describe the behaviour of one or more Actions.
Sagas work like daemons that run in the background. Redux-saga's 'sagaMiddleware' runs and controls these Sagas. The Sagas themselves are ES6 generator functions, this allows redux-saga to have control over every single step the Saga does.
This is how the Saga for our action would look:
Let's break this down, first of all
function * means that this is a 'generator function'. By yielding
takeEvery we tell redux-saga to call the saveScore generator function.
Generator functions are an ES6 feature. For more information on generators, David Walsch has an awesome article on this subject.
Right of the yield keyword, you can place a value you want to return to the caller. On the left, you can retrieve a value back from the caller. Both are optional.
Now we fetch the scores, notice that we do not call fetch directly. We use redux-sagas call function, which creates an object that tells the sagaMiddleware to call fetch with the given arguments. We yield this object to the sagaMiddleware. The sagaMiddleware will now execute this call and when it's done, resume the Saga. This means that to us, this just feels like a synchronous function!
The function you pass to call needs to return a Promise. This way redux-saga can recognize it as an asynchronous operation and wait for it. There also is a cps function for functions that take a callback instead of returning a Promise.
If the call succeeds, we yield a put object with an action of type SAVE_SCORE_SUCCEEDED. This tells the sagaMiddleware that we want to dispatch an action. When the request fails we put an action of type SAVE_SCORE_FAILED.
Our action creators can now just return plain and simple objects:
These action creators will be a breeze to test! This makes you wonder if we even need them anymore. I think there still are some use case where you want to do some simple, synchronous operations in an action creator.
To test the saveScore function you would need to export it. We can test it like this:
Look at how simple that test is! By calling
it.next(value) we can continue to the next step, optionally passing a value. This is exactly what the sagaMiddleware also does when running the Saga. The result of each
it.next() has a value property, containing the value the generator yields at that point. Because we yield plain objects, we can just use a deep equal to check if they are correct. To test the saga that calls takeEvery we need to use call to call takeEvery:
You can argue that the last test is not that useful, but at least now you know what to do if code coverage is important to you or your team.
Nesting Sagas
It is also possible to nest Sagas. Let's say we have a generic requestSaga for doing requests, maybe because we want to do some default error handling in there:
Instead of calling an asynchronous function, we can call another Saga. This will wait for the other Saga to finish and then continue.
Sequential Sagas
By using
takeLatest we can make a saga only take the latest action, when a saga is already triggered and a new action comes along the old one is cancelled. In some cases this is desired behaviour:
Multiple Sagas
It is not possible (anymore) to register multiple saga's at the saga middleware. Just like with reducers in redux, you need a root saga that calls to other saga's.
The rootSaga yields an array of saga's. These saga's should already be called, so you actually yield an array of iterator objects.
You only need to yield the Sagas that actually take actions or that you want to execute immediately. The others can be considered 'sub' Sagas, only called by others.
Why not use ES2016/Next async await?
Async functions are a new feature coming to the next version of EcmaScript. They are currently in stage-3, meaning they are a candidate for the next version. They work as follows:
This function is marked as asynchronous by the
async keyword. As soon as the the async function hits the
await keyword, it waits for the promise behind it to resolve, then continues. This really nice and clean. But then again, it does not solve the issue of testability. This async function actually calls fetch, while the Saga merely yields a description of what to call. The latter makes unit testing dead easy, saving you from having to mock anything.
Sagas are awesome, they are a really nice way of doing async in redux. They succeed at separating concerns and making testing really easy. It might be confusing at first, but once you start trying Sagas out it all starts to make sense. There are other implementations out there for handling side effects, like redux-side-effect, redux-effects and redux-loop. But, in my opinion, none of them solves it as elegantly as redux-saga. Happy coding!

LONDON (Reuters) - The euro jumped on Tuesday, bond yields rose and European stocks gave up some gains after a top European Central Bank policymaker said the bank might raise its sub-zero deposit rate before normalizing monetary policy.
Ewald Nowotny told Reuters that the ECB's 2.55 trillion-euro ($3.1 trillion) bond-buying program would be wound down by the end of this year, paving the way for the bank's first rate rise since 2011.
"The market is moving on Nowotny's comments that suggest there could be a 20-basis-point move on the deposit rate rather than a 10-basis-point step up," ING strategist Martin Van Vliet said.
Euro zone borrowing costs rose by 1 to 3 basis points across the board. The yield on Germany's 10-year Bund, the benchmark for the bloc, rose to a five-day high of 0.525 percent before settling at 0.52 percent at the close. DE10YT=RR
The euro EUR=EBS rose as high as $1.2378 and was up slightly on the day.
Overall, yields are still a good distance from the year's highs; Germany's 10-year Bund for example had climbed as high as 0.81 percent in February.
Since then, low inflation and concern over a trade dispute between the United States and China have pushed euro zone government borrowing costs lower. A wave of redemptions from maturing bonds expected in April has also kept yields lower.
"If you take into account the very strong redemption and coupon payments due in the next few weeks, the market should stay well-supported," said DZ Bank Strategist Christian Lenk.
Commerzbank estimates that around 60 billion euros of European government bonds mature this week and only about 13 billion euros of supply is available to replace them.
"Another factor boosting demand for European governments bonds has been data from the Japanese Ministry on Monday which showed a switch in Japanese investors from U.S treasuries to European government bonds," DZ Bank's Lenk said.
Elsewhere, Chinese leader Xi Jinping promised to lower import tariffs and take measures to widen market access to foreign investors, helping to soothe market jitters over a U.S.-China trade row.
U.S. 10-year Treasuries fell on the news, pushing their yields up almost 2 basis points to 2.80 percent US10YT=RR.

Neighbours: Driving Through The Neighbourhood (M/f,M/F)
by The Flying Anvil ([email protected])
"Well it all started when I was travelling around Australia. I hired a car
and started my adventure going along the coast of this beautiful land. When
travelling through Erinsbourgh I began hearing a strange rattling coming
from my hire car. As it was not my car I began to worry, and I began to look
around for a garage to get it looked at. But as it was nearly 9 at night I
did not think I would have much luck. After sometime of searching with no
I began to look for anyone who may be of some help. I saw this young looking
girl standing at a bus stop with brown hair held back with a pink band. A
purple sleeveless top, which showed her firm, body well. She was wearing a
short purple skirt. I pulled over by her and asked her for directions. She
said that she would show me the way if I would give her a lift to a club she
was going to. I agreed and she got in the car. She said her name was Elly
Conway. She began to flirt with me and asked me to guess her age. I said
that I thought she was at least 18. She smiled a mischievous smile and shook
her head and said she was still at school. I was shocked at this and nearly
swerved of the road.
This banter continued until we arrived at a place called Lou's garage. She
jumped out the car and started to knock on the door but nobody was answering.
At this time I noticed what a nice arse she had. She came back with the news
it was closed but she knew of another place were I could get my car checked
out. But she had another demand from me before she told me. She reached over
and began to French kiss me though I knew it was wrong I did not try to stop
it. My hand began to move over the sixteen-year-olds body finally resting on
her firm backside. She pulled me outside the car and rested me on its bonnet
she wrenched down my jeans and pants. She began to wank of my semi erect
penis as it began to grow she began to lick my bell end. The feeling was one
of the most sensual I ever felt.
Just as I began to get bored of this feeling she gave me something completely
different sensation when the teen engulfed my whole knob in her soft moist
mouth. This talent was something she certainly did not learn in school, but I
would definitely give her an A star for her performance. I was seconds from
spurting my white stuff deep down her throat when she pulled my cock from her
mouth. She said that I could not get away that quickly. She stepped back and
pulled took off her tight white pants which were soaked with her pussy juice
and through them at me. I caught them and took a long sniff of her sweet
smelling panties. She lifted up her skirt to show off her smooth hair less
pussy. I was not sure if it was shaven or if hair just did grow there yet and
I didn't care I knew I needed to get my hot rod in Elle's tight cunt.
I threw her on to the hood of the car and shoved my modest knob deep into her
sweet vagina. She screamed in joy as I rammed myself deep inside Elle. She
was getting so wet and her lips began to loosen. I was slipping in and out
her pink lips and loving it. I pulled up on her top and began to suck on her
surprisingly big, pert breasts. She was loving it she was a real screamer.
But that turned me on even more. But I wanted to introduce her to something
she had never tried before.
I took myself out of her cunt to her surprise. She continued to frig herself.
I told her to turn over and to lie front down on. I grabbed some oil which
had been left behind from the previous day and spread it over her bombastic
arse. She kept tensing her for the upcoming impact. I did not make her wait
for long I plunged my penis deep in her virgin butt. She screamed more than
she did before. Her arse was so tight but the oil allowed me to slip in and
out of her anus. There was so much friction I thought the oil would set on
fire. But I did not last long before I spurted my hot spunk up her tight
I slipped out of her arse, which now looked like a person out of the black
and white minstrel show. I grabbed a rag from the ground and wiped up her
arse. Elly stood up with a big smile on her face and told me that it was the
best fuck she had ever had. She was tired and horny. But I really wanted to
get the car fixed. I told her to get in the car but she said she wanted to
catch her breath and she told me to go as she was not far from her home. She
said that one of her neighbours worked in a parts shop and she could help me.
She gave me directions and I headed off to get help.
* * *
I arrived at the parts shop at 10:30 and luckily a light was still on. I got
out of my car and knocked on the door. Within seconds a beautiful blond
haired girl in overalls opened it. I was shocked at this, I maybe slightly
behind the times but I expected a man to answer. Her large breasts were very
prominent under her overalls and she seemed happy to see me. She asked me
what I wanted and I told her I was having some trouble with my car. She came
out to have a look at it. I was embarrassed to find a perfect print of Elle
sweet arse. Steph being the lady she was ignored it and had a look at my
engine. She said she saw what the problem was but it was not going to be
cheap. I explained that I had little money and she said that if I came into
her office with her we could sort out.
I was nearly running to her office in anticipation of what was awaiting me.
Her office was a pretty normal a neat desk with a swivel chair behind it. She
sat on her desk with her legs wide open. I stood in the doorway unsure of
what to do. Steph started to undo her overalls and I knew exactly what to do
I started pulling off my clothes and within seconds we were both naked. Steph
started to rub her now wet cunt and I knew I needed to get a taste. I got
down on my knees and my tongue began to invade her hot Brazilian style slit
it tasted so good like the sweetest honey. I was having a good time, but she
was having a great time. She was screaming with ecstasy and her juices began
to fill my mouth.
I stood up and much to Steph's dismay, but she did not have to wait till she
had some pleasure again. I shoved my dick deep inside her cunt, which gave
her even more joy than she had, before I pumped in and out of her tight hole.
She started to scream even more than she did before. My head was on level
with her big juicy breasts. My head was drawn toward her pink nipples and I
suck on them long and hard.
After ten minutes of hard fucking we were both shagged out and I was ready
to splurge deep inside her. She could sense this and she made me withdraw
from her. It became obvious she wanted to taste my cum as she wrapped her
lips around my penis and she proceeded to give me the best blowjob of my
life. She seemed to be shocked at the taste of oil and her own juices but
she seemed to enjoy it. I enjoyed it more and I showed her by spurting deep
down her throat. She swallowed it all and after some rest we got changed
and she told me my car would be ready in the morning. She was going out the
door and told me that if I did not have anything else to do tonight her
sister needed some company as she was so lonely since her friends have gone
off to college. I thought if she were anything like her sister my night
would just keep getting better.
* * *
I arrived at the address she gave me at around 12:00. Though it was late I
was too excited about my upcoming confrontation and I knocked on the door
with excitement. With in seconds a very worried looking strawberry blonde
answered the door, I assumed it was Steph's younger sister Flick. She
whispered to tell me to follow her to her room but I needed to be quiet,
so we don't wake up her parents. Flick was thinner than her sister with
smaller breasts but a nicer arse. An arse I was willing to follow.
Her room was a typical teenage girl's room with posters of pop stars on her
wall and teddy bears on her bed. She was dressed in a pink dressing gown,
which really clung, to her assets. She sat on her bed staring directly into
my eyes with lust and I knew I had to move in. I sat down next to her an
embraced her in a long kiss. My hand reached under her dressing gown and
reached all over her hot young body. She felt so good and smooth. I pulled
down her gown to reveal her surprisingly large breasts I sucked on her pert
nipples. My hands drifted down to her shaven cunt and my fingers started to
invade her hole. She was loving it but was trying to with hold her moans of
I was now rock hard again and needed to spurt my juices in to another hot
young Aussie pussy. I stood up and began to pound my firm rod deep inside
her tight pussy. Her face was full of content by my loving and her nipples
were increasingly harder. I continued to pound away at her she began to
breath heavily but still tried to keep her noise down, but then I turned
her over to give her a truly new experience.
I grabbed some moisturising cream from her dressing table and began to
massage it into her firm young behind. She knew what I was doing but though
she could handle the pain or pleasure, which was about to come her way. I
shoved my cock into her butt; she began to scream in pain. I thought she
would get use to it but she did not get the chance as within seconds Joe
Scully burst through the door and after seeing what I was doing with his
favourite daughter proceeded to punch and kick the shit out of me. I don't
remember what happened after that. I must have been knocked out.
* * *
When I finally gained conciseness I found myself looking at the most
beautiful bleach blond I had ever seen and to make things better she was in
a nurse uniform. I saw via her name badge that her name is Dione. She looked
at me with concern in her eye. She asked how I was feeling to which I replied
that I was still feeling some pain in my groin area. She said that if I did
not mind she would check it out, as there were no male nurses available. I
told her it would be all right.
She went to close the blind on the windows, which allowed me to get a perfect
view of her nice arse. She then lifted up my covers to take a closer look at
the problem. She looked quite shocked at the size of it but she said that
there did not seem to be any obvious problems but she would take a closer
look. She took hold of my penis and began to squeeze and prod at my little
fella. As much as I tried I could not help getting hard again. She looked at
me understandingly and as I was trying to apologise she explained that she
get this sort of thing all the time and I was shocked to find her asking me
if I would like her to help me relieve myself. I was only too willing for
the help. With this she began to rub her small soft hands up my throbbing
erection. I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the experience.
After about a minute of her masturbating my knob she suddenly stopped. I
looked down at her to see her pulling down her white panties and her climbing
on top of me. Her cunt felt like it was made to pleasure my cock. She was
still in her sexy white nurse's uniform and she really began to get into it.
She started to rub her breasts through her top and her tits began to fall out
of her top. Her jugs were quite large for such a petit women. Her nipples
were so hard and sweaty after her long day at work.
I was just about to cum deep inside Dee, but she got off and she rolled me
over and stuck her finger deep into my rectum. I was wondering what she was
doing, but then suddenly I had the most pleasurable sensation I had ever
felt. She made me cum with out even touching my dick. I blacked out with the
I woke up minutes later to see Dione fully dressed again. She said that she
thought I was ready to go and she left me to get change. When I got changed
she came back and asked if I needed anything else. After thinking about this
for a second I said that I had run out of money and I asked her about how I
could make some quick money and that is why I am here."
* * *
I looked across the living room to local reporter Libby Kennedy. She was
not the most attractive girl in the entire world, but her large breasts
compensated for anything her looks let her down on. It was obvious she had
gotten turned on by my stories of my fucking good days in Erinsbourgh as her
nipples have become increasingly more visible through her moss green blouse
and by the wet stains on her knickers, which I have been watching through
out the interview (I mean if she was going to sit with a short skirt and
with her legs wide open it is no surprise.)
She said "I may have to edit some of the language, but it could be just the
type of story to launch my new magazine." She stood up and said "$100 yeah"
"Yeah!" I said.
She said "I just have to go to the toilet before I get your money."
I nodded and she went off. A good 10 minutes has past with out her returning
so I decided to go and investigate. I walked down the hall she went down in
search of her I opened the first door I come to see her office. The next door
I'd come to is a little ajar so I quietly take a peak around the side. It
is the bathroom and she is sitting on the toilet with her skirt and panties
around her ankles. At first if thought she was just going to the toilet but
then I came to my senses as I saw her rubbing her wet cunt lips. I decided
that I might as well go for one final shag in Erinsbourgh.
I strip off and burst through the door to her surprise. When she recovered
from the initial shock she smiled an inviting smile which I replied with a
devilish smile. I walked in and she dropped to her knees and opened her mouth
wide. I shoved my dick into her fuckable face and I began to grind in and out
of her face.
I stopped after some time, as I needed to ge t myself some of her sweet
Australian apple pie. I proped her up on the sink and began to fuck her tight
vagina. We were both getting into it screaming with joy. The stitches from
her recent pregnancy were nearly broken due to the hardness of my fucking.
Before I came I withdrew from her cunt and ripped her blouse wide open and
started to suck on her juicy love globes. I suck so hard on her nipples she
start to produce milk. I gulp down the juice from her tits before lying her
on the floor and I positioned myself over her ample bosoms. I squeeze her
tits together and I grind in and out before cumming all over her face.
I stood up and we both got changed. Libby said "After that I'm going to pay
you double."
She gets her purse and gives me $200. We then French kiss goodbye and I go
back to the garage to find my car looking brand new. Unfortunately Steph is
nowhere to be seen. I get in my car and drive out of Erinsbourgh thinking
of my two days of adventures and dreaming of what will happen in the rest of
my road trip around the coast of Aussie Land.

Two-wheeler bike
We gave Paige a 2-wheeler bike for her fifth birthday (among some other smaller gifts). It has a unicorn pouch (!!!) at the front and is covered in unicorn designs...it is also a combination of her favorite colors so she's pretty thrilled. There are training wheels on it to help her get used to riding and she took to it like a duck to water! Overall I'd say the bike is an epic win!

: I know that the page will not be updated anymore, but when I was reading some of the analyses, I ended up creating some of my own and wanted to share.
: Lani Aliikai (Surf's Up)-"Surfer"-Lani is the Pen Gu lifeguard who watches over all of the surfers for the Big Z memorial Surf Off, and she catches Cody's eye. She is always carrying around a red sea squid which resembles a lifeguard rescue tube.
: Giselle(Enchanted)-"Innocent"-as an animated character, Giselle is very optimistic and has very simple desires. When she becomes a real person, she matures, but still keeps her innocent optimism.
: Little Miss Helpful(The Mr. Men Show)-"Helpful"-Little Miss Helpful tries to help everyone but ends up making everything worse. She tries to tie Mr. Tall's shoelaces, but she ends up tying both shoes together. Then she tries to help Mr. Happy when he is sick, and getting the cleaning supplies, but her head was stuck in the bucket, and got tripped in the refrigerator. Mr. Happy tries to pull the bucket out of Miss Helpful's head, but sends flying into the lake.
: Mrs. Brisby(The Secret of NIMH)-"Brave"-This single mother and country mouse faced a cat, an owl, and mysterious rats for the sake of her sick son and the safety of her family!
: Chihiro(Spirited Away)-"Persevering"-She begins as a spoiled sullen brat and gradually matures and helps her parents and Haku. Another transitional character.
: Sally(The Nightmare Before Christmas)-"Perceptive/Insightful"-She is the only one of the Halloween Town denizens that understood Jack's feelings and realized that his ambitions were more harmful than wonderful.
: Sally Carerra(Cars)-"Romantic"-She is in love with the natural beauty of a valley and a small town.
: AnneMarie(All Dogs Go to Heaven)-"Wishful"-She wants a mother and father to love more than anything else.
: Victoria Everglot(the Corpse Bride)-"Modest"-She contrasts greatly with her stuffy parents by her more endearing nature and with Emily by her more discreet and quiet manners. Her desires are not grand. She wants a person she can genuinely love.
: Mildred(Meet the Robinsons)-"Compassionate"-She supports Lewis after his disasters with potential adoptive parents and does her best to be a constant and nurturing figure for him and Goob. She even makes an important point that children become orphans not because parents are callous, but that some parents simply can't take care of them. She is the one to point out to Lewis that there are things that need to be let go of in order to move foward.

Being the cosmetic packrat I am, I had to use one of my extra character slots and build a new character. Even though a new character meant more storage, it also meant seven more outfits to create. And so I built one using a few pieces that were collecting dust and created a sensible traveler's outfit for a fresh Lore-master. It's a rather unassuming compilation. Plenty of earthy colors and a minimal amount of designs that prevented it from looking gaudy. I felt like I was blending in with the townsfolk, even though these pieces seemed a fashionable step higher by comparison.
I had been performing a few freelance searches on the LOTRO forums last night and came across a particular thread in the player suggestions subforum, requesting simplistic and slightly adorned clothing. Simple blouses, trousers, ankle-length skirts, and several other examples were presented. I would completely support this. Outfits would truly look casual if this happens. I would even love to see dresses break down into tops and bottoms, allowing for further customization. I've been on the hunt for simple clothing myself. There have always been simple pieces in the game, but options are quite limited for mixing and matching...too many onesies, for a lack of a better term.
This compilation is the simplest that I've been without feeling like I've lost more than half of my cosmetic options.
Slowly, but surely, I've been collecting the Ost Dunhoth gear found at Harndirion over the past year. Ever since Update 10, the gear has been barterable with marks and medallions, no longer requiring players to run the Ost Dunhoth raid for special tokens. However, if you still have those tokens in your inventory, you can still barter with them. The majority of that gear has made some wonderful outfits possible across several blogs. If you're level 60+, feel free to give those pieces a try!
Shoulders: Shoulder Pads of Resolve (Umber, any Ox-clan Camp light armor class vendor)
Back: Cloak of the Unwelcome Guest (Turquoise, Great River quest reward)
Chest: Lesser Voice of the West Robe (Turquoise, Ost Dunhoth Minstrel class medallion barter)
Legs: Lesser Voice of the West Trousers (Turquoise, Ost Dunhoth Minstrel class medallion barter)
Feet: Ceremonial Boots of the Learned (Umber, Helegrod cosmetic skirm camp vendor)

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, 2002 -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC), leader of the DD(X) Gold Team, and Raytheon Company (NYSE:RTN) said today that they were delighted by the decision of the General Accounting Office (GAO), which validates that an appropriate evaluation process was used when the U.S. Navy selected the Gold Team to complete the system design for the Navy's 21st century surface combatant, DD(X).
"Now that this issue is behind us, we can move ahead on this transformational ship program, which is so critical to the Navy, the DoD and the nation," said Kent Kresa, Northrop Grumman chairman and chief executive officer. "We were confident in the Navy's selection process, and are grateful that the GAO so expeditiously acted in validating that the Gold Team's proposal provided the best value for the customer. By acting quickly, we hope the Congress will continue to fully fund the DD(X) program in 2003."
"Our goal is to move full speed ahead with the Navy and Northrop Grumman to provide innovative and transformational solutions for the Navy's DD(X) systems integration requirements," said Daniel P. Burnham, Raytheon chairman and chief executive officer.
Northrop Grumman's Ship Systems sector will lead the DD(X) system design, engineering prototype development and testing under a $265 million contract awarded to the Gold Team by the Navy on April 29. The Gold Team includes Raytheon and more than 30 of the nation's top engineering and maritime industrial companies. The initial design contract has a total value of approximately $2.9 billion over four years.
"We anticipate important contributions from other leading defense companies, including many of our former competitors," said Philip Dur, Northrop Grumman corporate vice president and president of the company's Ship Systems sector. "An essential goal of the DD(X) program has been to bring the best value to the customer and incorporate 'best of breed' solutions from a national pool. Our team remains committed to that goal."
The team looks forward to starting design and technology verification work, which will culminate in the construction of a new family of surface combatants. The DD(X) family includes destroyers, cruisers and littoral combat ships. The transformational technologies developed in the DD(X) program will also be backfitted into today's existing fleet of Aegis-equipped cruisers and destroyers.
Key technologies of DD(X) include developing and testing engineering development models for advanced concepts for the gun system, radar suite, integrated power system, vertical launch system and signature management/reduction. The program will also focus on reduced manning with emphasis placed on optimized crew size and high quality of life while minimizing total ownership costs.
The initial phase of the program will employ more than 350 Northrop Grumman Ship Systems management, engineering, operations and logistical support personnel over the next four years. Ship Systems will be joined by four other Northrop Grumman sectors - Newport News, Information Technology, Electronic Systems and Integrated Systems.
As electronic systems integrator, Raytheon's Naval & Maritime Integrated Systems (N&MIS) business will be responsible for DD(X) systems engineering, software development and development of combat system equipment. As part of this effort, Raytheon N&MIS will build and test a dual frequency radar suite, an integrated solid-state communication system, a new launcher, an Integrated Undersea Warfare Suite and a multimission total ship computing environment.
With headquarters in Lexington, Mass., Raytheon Company is a global technology leader in defense, government and commercial electronics, and business and special mission aircraft. N&MIS, headquartered in Portsmouth, R.I., is a premier supplier of integrated naval systems worldwide.
Northrop Grumman's Ship Systems sector includes primary operations in Pascagoula and Gulfport, Miss.; New Orleans and Tallulah, La.; and in a network of fleet support offices in the U.S. and Japan. The sector, which currently employs more than 17,000 shipbuilding professionals, primarily in Mississippi and Louisiana, is one of the nation's leading full service systems companies for the design, engineering, construction, and life cycle support of major surface ships for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and international navies, and for commercial vessels of all types.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is an $18 billion, global defense company with its worldwide headquarters in Los Angeles. Northrop Grumman provides technologically advanced, innovative products, services and solutions in defense and commercial electronics, systems integration, information technology and nuclear and non-nuclear shipbuilding and systems. With nearly 100,000 employees and operations in 44 states and 25 countries, Northrop Grumman serves U.S. and international military, government and commercial customers.

Thedao 0 H S – TAN: No Credit, No Problem
Thank you for visiting TAN in your search for "Thedao 0 H S" online. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it's fundamentally vital that you comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can only select to print endless numbers (I am not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. You've probably seen this many times where you generally spread the good word about crypto. "It's not risky? What goes on if the price failures? " to date, many POS programs gives free conversion of fiat, alleviating some worry, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people is going to be hesitant to hold any. We have to find a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could lead to business being unable to continue to run or to stop operation. Lots of people choose to use a currency deflation, especially people who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary solitude, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; if you're living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place included in your riches, with the rest reserved for other currencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network is now the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally connects in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the correct place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet collectively these companies decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to discover how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are resolved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated promoter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Thedao 0 H S – Your Wealth Robot: TAN
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers argue that there is "actual" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some type of benefit to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It is also possible that the regulators simply do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, anticipating any developments to act. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is simply a representation of worth, but there's no actual palpable form of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have higher possibility of solving a block, but the benefit will be split between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This option also creates a stable flow of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the wages. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of character of the method in which it's transacted. All exchanges on the crypto currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This is not something short term where your customers could dispute or demand a discounts, or employ unethical sleight of hand. Used, many investors could be smart to utilize a payment processor, because of the permanent character of crypto currency transactions, you must make certain that protection is tricky. With any type of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially access your private secrets and therefore take your money. However, you almost certainly can never obtain it back. It's vitally important for you really to undertake some great safe and sound methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing so can protect you from most of these damaging events. In the event of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it might even be exchanged as a thing. Advocates of cryptocurrencies announce that kind of virtual cash isn't controlled by a main banking system and is not thus subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are a restricted number of items, this coin's value is dependant on market forces, enabling owners to industry over cryptocurrency trades. When searching forThedao 0 H S, there are many things to think of.
Thedao 0 H S: How to Secure Your Retirement – The Affluence Network
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Thedao 0 H S. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also participate in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the quantity of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all present bitcoins. This scenario isn't to suggest that markets aren't exposed to price exploitation, yet there is no need for large sums of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest events on earth economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any regulatory agencies. As such, it's more resistant to outrageous inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can readily be reached by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. If you are in search of Thedao 0 H S, look no further than TAN.

Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and lose out on very successful business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. The trades of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use extremely complex technology about them to work. The notion is quite straightforward than you think. The Blockchain allows two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two businesses in a platform understood It is certainly possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities irrespective of marketplace conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be acceptable.

LONDON, Sept 14 ― Called "Worldwide by easyJet," the new product is pitched as the first global airline connections service by a low-cost airline in Europe.
Customers will be able to create their own itineraries and travel to long-haul destinations previously out of easyJet's European network, by tacking on flight segments provided by its new launch partners.
That means being able to fly from Paris to Gatwick Airport in London, and tacking on a trans-Atlantic flight to New York, Los Angeles, Toronto or Vancouver through its airline partners.
Aside from North American cities, other long-haul destinations include Buenos Aires and Singapore.
The new launch is easyJet's response to the rapid rise of ultra low-cost carriers that are offering long-haul international flights at bargain basement prices. In order to stay in the game, "Worldwide by easyJet" ensures they're not left behind.
Iceland's WOW air is a prime example, which just last month launched $69 airfares between the US and Europe for travel this fall.
WestJet also plans to launch an ultra low-cost carrier next year, while Barcelona-based Vueling brought another player into the fold called Level, which focuses on long-haul flights.
This week, Canada Jetlines likewise announced plans to start taking off next summer as an ultra low-cost carrier that will service airports about an hour's drive outside Toronto.
Meanwhile, easyJet is also in talks to expand the network with partner airlines in the Middle East and Asia, and add more airport partners within Europe such as Milan Malpensa, Geneva, Amsterdam, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Barcelona. ― AFP-Relaxnews

I have always enjoyed Kyle Idleman's books. There are a number of reasons. His sense of humor appeals to me. His writing style is comfortable. But most importantly, he has an ability to say profoundly challenging things in an accessible way.
Idleman's newest book, entitled AHA: The God Moment that Changes Everything, is case and point. The book is humorous. It is an easy read. And he has done a wonderful job reminding us of how God brings transformation to our lives.
The book, which is based on the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15, begins with some thoughts on the whole self-help genre. Self-help books are everywhere, covering every topic. The very volume of self-help books suggests that they do not really help much at all. Is our "self" really able to help us with the problems we face? The main premise of Idleman's book is that we need to reject our self's offer and help and embrace the provision and power of God's help.
Like the prodigal son in Luke 15, almost everyone finds themselves, at times in their life or in certain areas of their life, in a distant country. There are times when we have walked away from God, perhaps with our whole life, or perhaps in particular areas of our life where we do not want to submit or obey to God. There are, of course, many reasons for rejecting God's provision and care. AHA reminds us that God is often not who we assume him to be. He is an ever present source of help.
The book is contains three main sections, each section focusing on one part of the transforming work of God in our lives. The first – "A" – stands for sudden awakening. The prodigal son, having rejected his father, spent his inheritance finds himself feeding pigs to make a living. As Luke 15:17 notes, one day, in the midst of that situation, he came to his senses. He came to a realization of where his life was leading. It was not a pretty picture. God has many ways of bringing sudden awakening to us. His uses his Word or the words of others, or perhaps He gives us a taste of the future consequences of our actions. During this time of awakening, we come to the recognition that we cannot turn our lives around ourselves.
The second step is ""H" – brutal honesty. As Luke 15:17-19 notes, the prodigal son said to himself - my father's servants are better off than I am. He looked into the mirror at his life and saw that it was profoundly lacking. Such honesty brings healing and drives us to God for His forgiveness. Of course, we can find all number of excuses to avoid being honest with ourselves. We can deny the depth of our problem. We can project the reasons we have problems on others. We can minimize our problems, convincing ourselves they are no big deal. But if we avoid those kind of pitfalls, we come to a good but painful place, and we can be honest about our lives or areas of our lives are deeply in need of God's help.
The last step in AHA – "A" – is immediate action. The prodigal son did not spend weeks pondering his fate. Luke 15:20 simply states that after he realized his predicament and was bold enough to be honest with himself, he got up and went back home. He acted. Without action, the awakening God brings to our life amounts to nothing. How many times have you been convicted by a sermon, only to walk out of church without doing anything about it? Passivity, procrastination and a defeatist attitude that convinces us that it is too late are the enemies of action.
Luke 15 tells us how the story of the prodigal son ends. His father embraces him, forgives him and celebrates his homecoming. Our story can end up the same way. No matter how far we have run, or how long we have run, or how many areas of our life we have resisted God's call to holiness, God is still there. His patience and mercy and grace is still available. And like the prodigal son's father, our Heavenly Father longs to embrace us, forgive us and celebrate our homecoming.
