Ooh, this is interesting! I always struggled with this one. I could never quite understand why pastors or leaders told us we shouldn't get too close to people who don't believe in God. I even cringed just now writing that. I started to see why, though, in some of my personal relationships. Before I say anything more about my relationships, I want to make it clear that I'm not talking about any one specific person, so if you're my friend and you don't believe in God, that doesn't mean this about you. I promise. I come in peace.
1 Corinthians 15:33 "Do not be mislead: Bad character corrupts good company."
2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?"
These are the verses I always heard used to tell us that we shouldn't date or have close friendships with people who aren't Christians.
One weekend, when I was home from school, I was at church in young adult group, and we were talking about this. I said that I kind of didn't buy that we shouldn't be friends with unbelievers. Jesus was. He was friends with the worst sinners. One of my best friends was an Atheist. And if we don't become friends with the world, how will the world ever see Jesus?
And then someone said something that opened my eyes. One of the other young adults said something to the effect of, "I have seen it true in my life that Christians just make better friends is all." BAM.
And then I started paying attention in my friendships. Here's what was happening: Not to toot my own horn, but when I decide I want to be someone's friend, I don't half-ass it. So, I was giving all my best to all my friends. Okay. But not all my friends were giving me all their best. Hmm. I noticed that my Christians friends were there for me in ways my non-believer friends weren't. My Christian friends built me up. I left them feeling encouraged, uplifted, and happy. I oftentimes left my non-Christian friends feeling torn down, discouraged, and drained. It wasn't always as black and white as this, of course. My Christian friends didn't always do everything perfectly, and we had disagreements, and we pissed each other off. My non-believer friends made me laugh and I felt close to them at times. But still...there was a clear distinction once I started paying attention.
And I didn't understand why. People are people regardless of their beliefs. So, it didn't make sense to me why my Christian friends were better friends to me.
Until I was having coffee with one of those friends one day, and she started talking about a past relationship of hers that didn't work out. She said something like, "I was expecting him to love me like God loves me, but if he doesn't know that God loves him, how can he love with that kind of love? And I shouldn't have expected that from him! It was like asking someone in a wheelchair to get up and run with me. They just can't." BAM.
That was the second moment things became even clearer to me.
"I have tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves, where my heart becomes free, and my shame is undone." -Kim Walker, Jesus Culture
If I know the way God treats me, then that is my standard of love. That is my standard of friendship. It's hard to be happy with less once you have tasted more, you know what I mean? It's like if someone made you the best lasagna you ever had (my mom's, by the way), and then took your plate away to serve you seconds, only...when the plate comes back, it's lasagna made from a different recipe. It's still lasagna, but it's not the recipe with your favorite ingredients.
Not that friends are like lasagna.
So, because my Christian friends know the God love since they have experienced it themselves, that's the kind of love they pour out. Non-believers pour out the kind of love they experience, and while it might be good love and they are doing the best they can, it's not my mom's lasagna. It's not my Father's love. Does that make sense? In my friendships with non-believers I was becoming frustrated when they failed to give me the kind of love I needed. It's easier to be gracious with them now that I see they are doing their best. I can't ask them to make me my mom's lasagna if they have never watched her make it. They simply don't know the recipe. If I expect it of them, both of us will end up disappointed and frustrated.
I still have friends who are Atheists or Pagans or Agnostics, but I don't count them as my best friends. They may be great friends. My love for them may even be the same level of love I have for my Christian friends, but the difference is that they are not my best friends. They can't offer me the things that are most important to me because they don't know how. I don't hold it against them or think less of them or think my best friends are better people. It would be like if you looked for a best friend who can play or talk about sports with you. I could try to be the best friend I can to you, but if you need a sports analogy when you're feeling bummed, I can't give that to you. I might be a good friend, but I don't have what you need. You're going to want your best friend to be someone who can give you sports analogies to make you feel better. For me, my best friends need to be the people who will pray with me and remind me of God's promises and speak life into me.
So, when Mike, in the video, talks about getting off the chair and serving, I think that's great. Like Mike said, Jesus wasn't standing on a chair. For me, standing on a chair would be me holding everyone up to the standard that they will love me like God loves me. Not going to happen! If I get off the chair, I will recognize that I can still give my best to someone even if they don't return what I have experienced as the best.
Jesus was friends with all sorts of people. But He called His disciple, John, "The one I love". I don't think that means He loved John more than the others. It's just that John knew Jesus loved him--and he believed that love more, I think, than the others. Click here for message by Jamie Englehart that explains that better if you're interested.
I absolutely believe we could all be friends regardless of what we believe. I think we could even be great friends. Some of the people most important to me don't believe in God. I can still give them my best and accept their best. But when I am heartbroken, it won't serve me best to go to these friends because they can't give me what my heart needs. When my heart is broken, I need my Father's love, and I know which friends can help me with that.
I hope this doesn't offend anyone. All my friends and family are irreplaceable and incredibly valuable to me no matter what they believe. Every single friend of mine is unlike any of my other friends, so if you are my friend and not a Christian, I really don't mean we aren't tight. You bring things to the table no one else can simply because no one else is you. You're awesome just as you are.
So, what do you think or believe about the chair? Share your thoughts! Like I said earlier, I'm still learning this. I don't know everything. Tomorrow I could have a new BAM revelation that will knock today's beliefs about this out of the window. For now, though, this is simply what I have experienced in my life so far.
[ADDED NOTE] I did offend someone important to me whom I admire and love and whom I would never want to hurt. She was hurt by my words, though, and for that I am truly sorry. It was not my intention. I want to clear something up. There are plenty of Christians I'm not close to for one reason or another. Being a Christian doesn't automatically make them BFF material. And just because someone doesn't believe in God doesn't automatically disqualify them. It's not a black and white thing. I may tend to be closer to people who can pray with me and build me up with God's Word because it's the best way I feel comforted and strengthened. It's just natural to feel closer to people who give you what you need. I need lots of things because I am not one dimensional. I need people who don't always agree with me. I need people who believe different things. I need people for all sorts of reasons. The most important to me personally, though, is someone who can encourage me in faith.
Another clarification about the God love I mentioned. You do not have to know God to love well. You can be an Atheist or Pagan or Agnostic or anything and have a huge, loving heart. I don't know how to explain, though, that God love still feels different from that. It's a one hundred percent unconditional, gracious, all-consuming, life-changing love. When people accept that love from God, it's what they pour out. It's just different. One of my best friends and I have knocked heads so many times because we are so similar and at the same time so different that we grind each other the wrong way, but we also compliment each other. The world says "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice..." If that friend and I held everything we have ever done to each other in offense and not forgiven, we wouldn't be friends. But God gives us chances again and again, and so that's what we do for each other because God has first done that for us. I don't get that in most of my friendships with non-Christians, and ironically they are the ones who don't want to be judged. I'm surprised when I get in fights with my non-Christian friends and they bring up something old against me. Like, wait, you haven't forgiven me of that?? I value grace in my friendships, and Christians simply do that better because we get it from God time and time again. Again, it's not black and white, though. Sometimes my Christian friends fail at it because they are human. I fail at it because I am human. God is the only one who all of the time pours out pure love. I'm only saying what I have experienced in my friendships. [END OF ADDED NOTE.]

1 Samuel 2 – The Prayer of Hannah
Posted by Jaqua (Jāy 'Quāy) in 1 Samuel, Bible, Bible Reading, Christianity, Daily Bible Reading, Old Testament, prayer, Religion on June 29, 2010
Hannah's prayer was a timely inspiration this morning.
1 Then Hannah prayed and said:
"My heart rejoices in the LORD;
in the LORD my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
for I delight in your deliverance.
2 "There is no one holy like the LORD;
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God.
3 "Do not keep talking so proudly
or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the LORD is a God who knows,
and by him deeds are weighed.
4 "The bows of the warriors are broken,
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.
5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
but those who were hungry hunger no more.
She who was barren has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away.
6 "The LORD brings death and makes alive;
he brings down to the grave and raises up.
7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth;
he humbles and he exalts.
8 He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
and has them inherit a throne of honor.
"For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's;
upon them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet of his saints,
but the wicked will be silenced in darkness.
"It is not by strength that one prevails;
10 those who oppose the LORD will be shattered.
He will thunder against them from heaven;
the LORD will judge the ends of the earth.
"He will give strength to his king
and exalt the horn of his anointed."
I have been reading and listening to Brennan Manning, who is a very humble God-follower. Brennan's life is a rare example of humility and deep understanding of the love of God for us. I am amazed at his humility.
Hannah's prayer is a great example of humility before the Lord. It spoke to me of my increasing arrogance and course nature and reminded me that I need to get on my face before God and honor Him at all times and love those He puts in my life.
The rest of the chapter is a somber reminder of what can happen when we're disobedient (not humble). The actions of Eli's sons affected not only them, but their father, and their entire family line from then on.
I will meditate on this today.
Romans 1 – Choices We Make
Posted by Jaqua (Jāy 'Quāy) in Bible, Bible Reading, Christianity, Daily Bible Reading, New Testament, Romans on September 22, 2009
As I read Romans 1 this morning, I was amazed to see the correlation of what we're studying in Wildmen, the Wild at Heart book by John Eldredge, and the first chapter of Romans. Paul is talking about how God has revealed himself with His invisible qualities, His power and His divine nature, since creation. And, yet some choose to ignore that, suppressing the Truth for their own wickedness:
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
One thing I have come to understand is this: God created each of us with a plan. We may choose to live our lives seeking that plan (his will) and following Him, or we may choose to follow our own plan. Life is not "easy" either way because we were born into a battle between good and evil. But, I am convinced that following God and His plan for us is the only way to live a peaceful, happy, abundant life. People can choose to ignore God and make their own choices, but it always leads to consequences in ever-increasing difficulty and, ultimately in death and separation from God for eternity.
God makes it very clear. Sin is fun for a season. Some people get to the point where they abandon what they know about God and exchange the truth for their own wicked desires. That is where God turns them over to evil. I know people there now, learning hard lessons, living in turmoil and ruin, refusing to come back to God.
God will not force Himself upon us. He wants us to choose to have faith and believe in Him. Otherwise, we'd be just a bunch of robots, programmed to love God. Without faith, man may choose to worship God's creation rather than God himself, leading to all kinds of trouble. I noticed several choice/consequences in this passage:
- They knew God, but chose to not glorify or give thanks to Him, so their thinking became futile and their hearts were darkened (verse 21)
- They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like His creation, so God gave them over to shameful lusts (verses 25-26)
- They did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind and they were filled with every kind of wickedness (verse 28)
My prayer for those people is that they would eventually get to the place where all they can do is look up and see God. I've been there. It's not a good place. But, God is still there to pick us up and put us back on the road to Him. That road is not easy but the peace and comfort, knowing God is at the end, makes life worth living.
Have a great day!
2 Samuel 22 – Remember that song…?
Posted by Jaqua (Jāy 'Quāy) in 2 Samuel, Bible, Bible Reading, Christianity, Daily Bible Reading, Old Testament, Religion, Spirituality on September 15, 2009
Verse 1 of this chapter says:
1 David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
This is a bit confusing to me. Are we going back in time to when David actually sang this song? I take this to mean that David, after many chapters of doing "his own thing", remembers a song that he wrote way back when King Saul was pursuing him, trying to kill him. While I'm delighted to see David remember God and remember a song he used to sing, the impact is not the same. It's not like he's singing to the Lord a new song. He can only remember the words of a song from days gone by. But, at least he's singing to the Lord (that's a good step in the right direction).
These verses stood out to me as I read the song (how I wish I could have sheet music to go with these words):
25 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.
26 "To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
27 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
28 You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.
Rewards – according to cleanness. Faithfulness to the faithful. Blamelessness to the blameless. Pureness to the pure. Salvation to the humble. God calls us to be obedient, righteous, clean and pure. Without these, life is always more difficult. Wrong choices in weak moments remove rewards, faithfulness from God.
David's story still reminds me that once I take my eyes off God, it gets ever-increasingly difficult to get back to the "good ol' days". Much better to remain righteous and clean and pure, never taking our eyes off God. Even if we sin, which God knows we will, we MUST turn back immediately, like David did in his younger years. Better still, we should never stop praying about EVERYTHING so we don't end up in a situation like David did.
Facing Your Fears – Going Deeper With God (Part 4)
Posted by Jaqua (Jāy 'Quāy) in Christianity, prayer, Religion, Spirituality on September 24, 2007
God has me thinking a lot about what it means to go deeper in my relationship with Him. I've been blogging about my fears, about worship , about serving. Today, I'd like to take a gut-level honest approach to prayer.
To be very honest:
- I am a confident prayer when I know people are listening
- I pray really well when I'm in the midst of a crisis
- There is nothing I want more than better communication with my heavenly Father (both ways)
Perhaps you can tell from the way I worded the list above that I'm not the world's mightiest prayer warrior.
First, I have a big hang-up when it comes to praying out loud; in front of people. When someone else is listening, I go into a whole different mode. I'm thinking about who's listening, what they may be going through, how I can carefully arrange my words to avoid offending or embarassing them or someone they know, how I can encourage with my words and bring blessing on them, yet communicate with God in such a way that will properly bless and praise Him. Phew – that's a lot of work.
Don't get me wrong – I can do it. I've been a Christian for a good number of years and I've heard a good number of prayers. I've got my "prayer language" down just right. I have plenty of cliches and spiritual-sounding phrases to impress every skeptic in the group. In my list, I mentioned that I'm confident when it comes to praying out loud. But, to be honest, it feels fake most of the time. Not that I'm trying to be something or someone other than what I am, nor am I trying to manipulate or impress. Perhaps it's because I'm trying so hard to "cover all the bases" and being careful not to leave anyone or anything out. By the time I'm finished, and look up – I frequently have this feeling that I was talking only to those physically in the room. And – what's the point of all that?
It's quite a different story when I pray alone. I can be honest, avoiding formulas or senseless ritual when it's just the Father and me. Especially when I'm going through difficult times. I mentioned second in my list that I pray really well in the midst of crisis situations. Well, I've had my share of crisis, and I must testify that God has never let me down. He's always been there to hold me up and hear my cries. He is my strong tower and my fortress. He is my deliverer and my comfort and my strength in the storm.
So, what about when everything's going pretty well? Why do I not have the same zeal and passion? Why is it I can go for days without really praying?
I was curious, so I put in "what is prayer" into my favorite search engine. I got hundreds of thousands of possible links. I clicked on a few of them with titles like "How to get into the habit of prayer" and "daily prayer time". I know there must be something useful out there, but what I found left me with a bad taste in my mouth. You see, I've never been one for legalistic rituals or 3-step formulas for things like prayer.
It seems so pathetic to have to set aside 15 or 30 minutes each morning in a prayer closet, sitting in a certain position, palms up, praise music on the iPod, incense on the dresser. Is it just me? What if Jesus were my roommate? Would I need to schedule a time each day for us to talk? Woud I need to meet Him at a certain place and sit in a certain position and make sure there were no distractions? Would we meet in the library? No, can't talk in there. What about Starbucks? No, can't hear in there.
The articles I started reading all had to do with this thing called "discipline." Is that it? Am I so undisciplined that the thought of such a daily ritual leaves me disgusted?
No – I want to talk to my Abba Father, my Daddy, just as if He were here with me: in the car, in the restaurant, in the room as I shut my eyes at night. I don't want 3-step formulas or rituals to get in the way. I want to praise Him and tell Him what He means to me and thank Him for all He's done. I want to lift my daughters up to Him and ask for Him to bless their day and protect them from the enemy. I want to tell Him exactly what's on my mind and I want to stop and listen for His still, small voice.
So – why don't I?
As I said on my list – it's the thing I want the most.
So – ???
The only thing that comes to my mind is Paul's amazing, comforting passage in Romans chapter 7. He writes about how the things he wants to do the most, he doesn't do – and the things he doesn't want to do, he ends up doing.
I'm starting to see that, like any spiritual discipline (i.e. Bible reading, prayer, giving, serving, etc.) we are handicapped in several aspects. One is our human nature – our flesh is always trying to die. But we are not our flesh – what we are is spirit. Our flesh is just what carries us around on this earth.
And, two is our sworn enemy. The Bible calls satan a roaring lion roaming the earth seeking whom he may devour. Fears, doubts, temptations, distractions – these are some of his favorite tools to keep us from going deeper with God.
Our best defense?
I guess the point for me today, after reviewing all this stream of consciousness is:
Do whatever it takes.
Perhaps I need a ritual. Perhaps I'm not strong enough on my own – not disciplined enough to talk/listen to God at all hours of the day. Perhaps I need accountability and a plan to build prayer into a habit.
I mean, what's worse – praying out of compulsion to follow a ritual or not praying at all?
Lord, You know my heart. I want to know You more. I want to always be listening for your voice. I never want to neglect talking with You. But, just as I wouldn't want my own children to have to schedule a certain time, wear certain clothes, sit in a certain position, say certain things – I don't want that to be how we communicate. I need You in my life each and every second. I want my focus to always be You. I want to turn to You immediately if there's a problem and I want to know You're right there. As with anything, Lord, if You don't help me with this, it's over. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and prick my conscious, Lord, each time I am distracted. Help me to look at my own world through the lenses of prayer. Help me to hear through the earbuds of prayer. Thank You, Lord – for Your grace and how You also want more than anything else to better communication with me.

Most successful summer yet for IBS Reclaim
Above: IBS Reclaim Ltd in Oakley, Bucks
Oakley, Buckinghamshire UK - IBS Reclaim Ltd has announced that summer 2009 was the most successful yet; there was a 400 percent increase in sales in July compared to 2008. Contracts ranged from the supply of reclaimed York stone flagstones to Sykes & Son Ltd for a prestige refurb of John Keats House*, London, to the the purchase of nearly 600sqm of reclaimed flagstones and 200 tonnes of rare Denner Hill setts from the most expensive UK house outside London. The reclaimed flags sold in record time due to advertising on SalvoWEB, to building contractors and private individuals. Some flags even went to Austria. There was a major interest in reclaimed doors, again due to adverts on Salvo, with a stock clearance of some forty doors at £40 each, and a resulting increase in reclaim sales as well as enquiries for IBS made-to-measure service. This year IBS use of the SalvoWEB enhanced listing and build-a-button system is first out of 37,770 registered users.
David Marlow, manager of IBS Reclaim Ltd, said, "The development work at IBS continues this year with an antique and reproduction fireplace and radiator centre opening on the first floor of our new warehouse, a new section of both made to measure recraft doors and reclaimed doors is underway, and on the ground floor an area of Mike Corbett's cast stone products is displayed along with more reclaimed items. We also have a new paving section. During the 2008 video interview with Drummond Shaw**, he said that the future was towards new products. IBS agrees and tries to mix reclaimed and new products to complement each other."
Apart from its sales and redevelopment, IBS has also donated old stone samples from its reclaimed stocks to Dr Nick Cutler of Oxford University's Centre for the Environment who was making a study of biodeterioration which includes the effects of algae and lichen on stonework. He was fascinated by David Marlow's knowledge of Sarsen stone and Denner Hill stone history especially the story of the snipers***.
David, who is by trade a street mason, has fond memories of using Denner Hill at Pinewood Studios in 1985 aged 22 and his father - who trained him and has just retired after laying York stone for 46 years - built the Little Shop of Horrors film set which filled the 007 studio, at the time the largest sound stage in Europe. The stone used included Denner Hill kerb reclaimed from near Aylesbury. "I laid two eight-wheeler lorryloads of Denner Hill setts and kerb. Working from 400 photographs I recreated a genuine street scene of Skid Row in downtown America within the studio, working for construction manager Michael Redding of James Bond fame, alongside David Geffen, producer for Warner Brothers. We constructed everything at foot level in stone instead of the usual hardboard and cardboard imprinted and painted, due to the rain scenes and high level drop takes for rain, the full scale set was three stories high with a $30m budget. I was there for about four months," he said.
IBS are currently looking to buy reclaimed items especially stone surrounds.

* John Keats, the poet, wrote Ode On A Grecian Urn at the Grade I listed Keats House, a regency villa on Hampstead Heath, and it was from there that he set out for Rome, where he died prematurely aged 25.
** Video interview of Drummond Shaw in 2008
Above: Denner Hill setts
*** David Marlow writes: Denner Hill stone was once the source of a flourishing local industry, dating back to at least the mid nineteenth century and earlier. The best deposits were to the north of High Wycombe - Bryant's Bottom, Denner Hill, North Dean, Naphill and Walter's Ash. The blocks or boulders of hard sandstone were found at depths varying from six to sixty feet and were located by workers probing the ground with long instruments known as snipers. The boulders varied in size, one at Walter's Ash was reported to be around twelve feet in height and weighed over three hundred and fifty tons. These blocks were split to produce cobbles, kerbstone, setts, building blocks, river stepping stones, cottage door steps and gateposts. Building blocks were used in the repair of Windsor Castle. Some streets in both Windsor and Aylesbury are paved with this stone. Denner Hill Stone quoins were also used with local brick and flint within the High Wycombe area known as Chepping Parish.

Students have brought it to my attention that some faculty have postponed or otherwise rescheduled midterms and other exams in their courses. This practice has caused great inconvenience to some of our students.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind faculty that the dates of all quizzes, tests and exams to be given must be listed in the course syllabus and given to each student at the beginning of the semester. The syllabus constitutes a contract between professor and students, and can only be modified with the written consent of every student officially enrolled in the course. This includes students on the roster who are no longer attending or who have never attended the course.
If a faculty member finds it necessary to reschedule a test and obtains all the signatures as required, the faculty member must provide make-up exams for any student requesting one, at the time and date most convenient for the student.
I expect all faculty to abide by this policy, keeping in mind the "students first" philosophy at the core of our University's mission. Faculty may find it expedient to plan their semester schedules carefully ahead of time so that rescheduling of exams becomes unnecessary.

Give Ravens QB Joe Flacco credit: he's figured out his Baltimore audience. ESPN Sportscenter displayed a quote from Flacco on Friday in which he claims the national media spends too much time talking about Tim Tebow, and the Ravens are therefore an ESPN afterthought. Flacco is quoted as saying he didn't see any Ravens highlights on ESPN after his last-minute TD pass to Torrey Smith in the win at Pittsburgh earlier this season. Say it ain't so, Joe! The Ravens QB has gone to the Baltimore dark side: our town's tiresome inferiority complex that's perpetuated by chip-on-the-shoulder comments that claim we're generally unnoticed and unloved by the rest of the world. It's both endearing (it's who we are) and uniformed (it's just not true).
I'll give Flacco a pass and credit for being a maestro to a fan base that clings to the "us against the world" script. I haven't spoken to Joe about whether he REALLY believes the Ravens and Baltimore are disrespected but the sentiment plays well from Dundalk to Randallstown, from Hereford to Severna Park. Baltimore (especially Ravens Nation) thrives on believing it's unappreciated. The mindset played well a decade ago when the relatively new Ravens were a wild card playoff team and despised nationally because of the lingering stickiness of the Ray Lewis "incident." Brian Billick orchestrated the P.R. machine that was fueled by a take-no-prisoners defense that defiantly held the Lombardi Trophy in Tampa and the rest of the world HAD to take notice. It was brilliant in its execution and brutal in its unique Baltimore way of getting a job done: ruthless and irreverent.
Fast forward to 2011 and the new Ravens reality. These guys are good and have been since Day 1. Remember the resounding beat down of the Steelers on opening day that had even Billick suggesting that the present-day Ravens may be the best Ravens team of all-time? How about the similar thrashing of the Jets a couple of weeks later that only furthered that belief? These Ravens have earned notice from the start and HAVE been noticed (despite Flacco's playful claim of disrespect). Wins at Pittsburgh and at home against Houston, Cincinnati and San Francisco have only provided further evidence that the Ravens are a special team. I've said from the start that they're not likely to lose a single home game during the regular season (7-0 with Cleveland to go) and that they are very much the most complete and balanced team in the AFC. If not for the hiccups at Jacksonville and Seattle (as puzzling as they were) these Ravens would be considered right on the heels of the unbeaten and defending Super Bowl champion Packers (note: the Ravens' loss at Tennessee was nothing to be ashamed of. Baltimore played poorly, yes, but lost to a good team).
So, I'm pulling the "disrespect" card from the deck and discarding it now (sorry, Joe). On a weekly basis, national analysts fall all over themselves in praise of the powerful Ravens, and rightfully so. Watch ESPN more closely–they show the Ravens plenty (around the Tebow talk). The Ravens are on the brink of clinching a 4th straight playoff berth and a likely top seed in the AFC. They SHOULD be on the path to the Super Bowl that I've predicted from the start. It would be disingenuous to the talent and efforts of the players, coaches and front office to suggest otherwise. The Ravens have built a powerhouse. Embrace it, Baltimore. Unless the feeling of being a favorite is really that uncomfortable. I understand if so. Buckle up. This should be an intriguing ride.
I took Joe's commnets as more of a comment on how much attention Tebow is getting as opposed to disrespect for Baltimore. I thought he was saying the Tebow stuff is really over done and was using Baltimore as a yardstick.
Sounds more like jealousy to me, because he doesn't get the same attention as other Qb's get. Maybe if he did less stupid commercials and stop throwing interceptions at key moments he would get a little more attention. Sorry joe you are not a elite Qb and going out on a limb and will never be one!!!! I hear the fans talk about you like your trash when you mess up a play, and then try blowing smoke after you win. And lets be honest the 2nd win against the steelers wasn't that great with all the injuries they had, you were playing mostly second teams guys and barrely won.
I leard a caller into The Fan say that Joe was at a public appearance when a reporter began to question him about Tebow. He answered the question. This listener was there and witnessed it.
Wacco doesn't have the respect of his own team, much less the respect of Baltimore fans. I like the Ravens' team, but if you believe the line about 'a team goes only as far as the QB takes them', (the exception being the Super Bowl year with a history making defense) the Ravens won't go far enough.
About MARK, being the Ravens sports reporter. AWFUL.. No secret he is not a RAVENS fan , they should get Marty Bass to be at the games, talk about backing the team he is one that does. Mark, bland bland bland and GOOD GOLLY you would think he could find ONE PURPLE ITEM TO WEAR. A ribbon in his hair maybe. UGH, YUK, POOEY.

Our Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Program is designed for young men and women who've just graduated from high school and who want to be trained and gain experience as a counselor. (This program is not to be confused with our Camper-in-Leadership Training (CILT) Program.) The CIT program is two weeks long and ideal for former campers who are too young to be employed as a counselor (our minimum staff age is 19, or 18 with at least one year of college) and for people who are unavailable for the entire summer. It's an amazing opportunity to be mentored by our exceptional staff.
While there's no guarantee participation as a CIT will lead to employment with us the following year, we look at this as a recruiting tool. We want CITs who have an interest in working with us as a staff member the following summer and have the potential to be an excellent counselor.
Training will begin with emergency preparation followed by an introduction to youth development and what it means to be a role model and leader. You'll meet regularly with your director and other CITs and get plenty of support for your new role. You'll bunk with campers and help them process their day and provide night time supervision. You will select an activity in one or possibly more of the following areas and train to help facilitate the activity: Aquatics (Lakes and Pool) (lifeguard certification is strongly preferred), Ropes Course and Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, Mountain Boarding, Outdoor Living Skills (which includes Backpacking), and Visual and Performing Arts.
As a CIT, you will work under the close supervision of other staff in providing a safe and fun experience for campers. You will get real training as a youth development professional. A dedicated director will provide support all along the way. You'll also have a free period each day and will have the opportunity to participate in planned group activities with staff and other CITs during the two weeks.
The number of available CIT spaces in each two-week session is quite limited so we encourage you to complete a Counselor-in-Training application as soon as possible to join us this summer! The CIT program fee is just $50.

From Joy Lee & Vicky Chang
A letter from mother and daughter going on the trip. Sorry this update is so late--I didn't realize I had access to these on the Google Drive!! Pray for them, as well!!
Sincerely, the Songs
From mother, Rola and daughter, Tabitha.
Westons sharing!
Greetings from the Lees
Father Jing-huei Lee and son David Lee.
Dear friends,
Sunday, April 7, 2015
星期日, 四月七日二0一五年
Here is the prayer letter from Grace Su to you.
以下是Grace唐慧瑩的代禱信,有三個版本,简体中文,繁體中文, English version.
Dear Friend,
A letter from my heart to yours.
Warning: I usually do not write letters that are two pages long, especially when I hand-write them. This one is two pages long and single spaced. Read at your own discretion. And yes, there is personal contact information that you can use to your own benefit. Thanks. :)
以下是蘇小安 Jo Ann Su 的代禱信.
Financial Aid
It may be taboo, but we need money. And we need it soon.
I say this from the heart. My family (both sides) grew up in poor, unfortunate settings. They struggled to make ends meet. America was their second chance, but they are still chasing the American Dream. I'm still chasing it, too - next year, and the years after that, college will be extremely expensive. Give what you can, we will love you, and we still love you, but guess who loves you the most?
That's right.
Jesus does.
如果你要開支票,請寫 Cincinnati Chinese Church, memo處註明 Taiwan STM 2015.
Not the same as writing about ourselves.
Focusing on our relationship with God and others as we fulfill his purpose.
If you are called...
We don't know your heart, but God does--and if he tells your heart to donate offering for our trip, please follow these instructions:

Take a look at the screen shots I have provided. I've highlighted in the settings the Entry Logic property. If you specify this, then BloodHound will take signals based on this logic template regardless of what's visible on your chart. IE: you could have configured the chart to display some other logic template, but it doesn't matter; it will take signals only on what's been specified.
If you leave that property to "None", it's a little more complicated. Now your signals will be dependent on what's visible on your chart. More specifically you'll see a drop down at the top of the chart as pictured in the second image by the arrow. Likely you will actually have 2 of these, one for the instance of BloodHound, and a second from Raven adding it. For less confusion, I recommend at this point actually removing the BloodHound indicator from the chart, since Raven adds it's own.
If you have No Logic Selected, as depicted in the picture, BloodHound will simply calculate an average of all your solvers. This may or may not be what you want in terms of signals. Simply click the drop down and then select the appropriate logic template corresponding to your desired signals.

Zeke Upshaw, a player with the Detroit Pistons' G-League affiliate The Grand Rapids Drive, has died two days after collapsing during a game.
The Drive confirmed the 26-year-old's death in a statement. "The Drive family is mourning the tragic loss of Zeke Upshaw. He had a warm personality and was a tremendous representative of our organization both on and off the court. Our thoughts are with all of Zeke's family and friends during this difficult time."
Upshaw's mother, Jewel, said her son had died on Monday morning despite the efforts of hospital staff in Grand Rapids. "To family, friends, teammates, coaches, fans & confidants, thank you for your prayers and support during this most difficult time," Jewel Upshaw said in the statement posted to Twitter.
Upshaw collapsed with 50 seconds remaining in Saturday's home game against the Long Island Nets. The G-League is the NBA's developmental league, which teams use to evaluate promising players.
Upshaw played college basketball with Hofstra and Illinois State, from which he graduated with a degree in apparel, merchandising and design. He was undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft and played in Slovenia and Luxembourg before being picked up by the Drive in 2016.

Luego de la reacción de desquite que tuvo esta madrugada cuando publicó un tuit berrinchoso en el que vendía a Mark con su compinche Travis, Delonge respiró profundo y contó los minutos necesarios para redactar con calma una extensa carta aclaratoria en la que explica su versión de la historia.
Primero que todo, tranquilidad, Delonge no renunció a la banda, tampoco hizo ofensas de carácter espontaneo, ni sembró la espinita de la intriga, al contrario, su escrito incita diálogo.
El justifica la demora que ha habido con el trabajo de blink-182 por la serie de proyectos que tiene en su haber, prioritarios técnicamente ( el chavalo es inteligente, nunca menciona prioridad, aunque todos sabemos su significado ). Además, acusó a sus compañeros por dar un compromiso no suficiente para las sesiones de "Dogs Eating Dogs" que dieron con un resultado no del todo satisfactorio, dicho esto, su deseo es que un nuevo disco de blink no pase por las mismas circunstancias. ( al menos es humilde en insinuar que ese epé es una mierda )
Además, ratificó que su deseo es estar con blink siempre y cuando sea divertido para él y le de espacio para sus otras actividades, incluido su familia.
Escrito completo, de seguido.
Where to begin?
The truth is always a good place. Let's go there.
I love Blink and am incredibly grateful for having it in my life. It has given me everything. EVERYTHING. I started this band, it was in my garage where I dreamed up the mischief.
So what have I been doing behind the scenes? Well, I've tried to make things work. I've tried to help move this band down 50 different paths using my people, or other people, and people we don't even know. I tried to put forth ideas about how we can grow and challenge ourselves to become a better band. I'm not sitting around waiting for someone else to do the work. I'm not wired that way.
The big reset was when I tried to put together a band summit in Utah where we'd talk and work things out. It quickly was narrowed down to three hours in someone's dressing room in a shitty casino. What I hoped would be a positive get-together away from everything turned into an awkward meeting in a smelly convention hall dressing room. But it was there that I told Mark and Travis that as long as we talked, and things were good between us as real friends, that I would be engaged and work passionately. I'd mirror our personal relationship. Exact words.
Then, the EP was the test. Months later, we're recording those songs. I was in the studio for two months and they came in for around 11 days. I didn't mind leading the charge, but we had all agreed to give it 100%. And this time- no baggage.
Despite that, we still somehow managed to self-sabotage.
At one point, squabbling and politics forced me to pull the EP down at a time when 60,000 fans were trying to purchase it. And that blew my mind. I'd been trying so hard but that moment ultimately broke my spirit. I then realized that this band couldn't lose the years of ill will.
It was after that episode that I promised myself I would never be in that position again – to rely on the words we said to each other.
I remember asking one of them on the phone, "did you try your best? Like we all agreed to?" He was silent.
Are they at fault?
Am I? Of course. I'm nuts.
But there's three of us – we're all accountable. At the end of the day, we've always been dysfunctional, which is why we haven't talked in months. But we never did. In the 8 years we have been together it has always been that way.
Over the past two and a half years, while a recording partner was being sought for a new Blink record, I launched a media company. I just put out a new Angels & Airwaves record and as some of you know, there's a lot more coming – comics, books, a film, etc. The books will all come with music. This is a wheel that's already in motion. So you can imagine my frustration when I was handed a 60-page Blink contract saying I couldn't release an Angels album for 9 months and that the Blink album had to be recorded in 6 months, which was impossible for me. Doing so would force me to breach several artist contracts. Authors, Concept Artists, Animators… Many people.
They did eventually drop the Angels provision, but the part about having to finish a Blink album in 6 months remained. All of these other projects are being worked, exist in contract form– I can't just slam the brakes and drop years of development, partnerships and commitments at the snap of a finger.
I told my manager that I will do Blink 182 as long as it was fun and worked with the other commitments in my life, including my family.
But Mark and Travis know all of this.
I wrote this same letter to them a year ago. But it created a massive argument, the biggest one yet actually. I just wanted us to do things we all agreed on. But that was their moment to dig in. From their view I was controlling everything. In reality, I was scared to put myself out there again. To repeat the EP experience.
I also wrote all of this to their managers this past December (who told me my bandmates weren't angry and agreed with some of my ideas of how to grow the band).
So you can imagine my surprise when a press release went out yesterday—without my knowledge—about the band's future. This is new to me. It's not in my nature to fuel negativity about the legacy of the band on something as trashy as the Internet world.
But I guess that's another example of how I differ from most. I follow the light… I follow passion and I make art. I hang with my son, my daughter and my wife.
At the end of the day, all of this makes me really sad.
Sad for us.
Sad for you- that you're witnessing this immaturity.
I know them very well, and their current actions are defensive and divisive.
I suppose they're doing this as a way to protect themselves from being hurt.
Like we all do.
And even as I watch them act so different to what I know of them to be, I still care deeply for them. Like brothers, and like old friends. But our relationship got poisoned yesterday.
Never planned on quitting, just find it hard as hell to commit.

Sri Lanka Accused
On Child Soldiers
By Shimali Senanayake
A U.N. official accused Sri Lankan security forces on Monday of helping to abduct children to serve as soldiers against Tamil separatists.
Allan Rock, a special adviser to the United Nations on children and armed conflict, said the troops had rounded up children for a paramilitary force known as the Karuna Group and had ignored pleas for help from parents who said their children — some as young as 13 — had been taken by the group.
"We encountered both direct and indirect evidence of security forces' complicity and participation," Rock said after a 10-day mission in the war-ravaged North and East.
The Karuna Group broke away from the Tamil Tigers in March 2004 and has been fighting the Tigers in eastern Sri Lanka. International monitors here to monitor a now-shattered 2002 cease-fire have accused the government of being allied with the group, a charge the military has denied. The cease-fire was supposed to end a two-decade war between the government and the Tigers.
Finance an Effort
To Help Rival Software Mesh
By Victoria Shannon
Microsoft plans to unveil a technology industry alliance on Tuesday to make software from competing companies and partners work better together, company executives said.
Bob Muglia, the Microsoft senior vice president who has led the company's so-called interoperability efforts for the last year, will announce details of the alliance in Barcelona, Spain, at an event for European software developers.
The move is Microsoft's latest effort to move from being a company that insists on the advantages of its own products to one that can adapt when customers use other companies' goods.
Eleven days ago, for instance, Microsoft struck a deal with Novell, a longtime rival, to ensure that Novell's version of the Linux operating system operates with Windows in corporate data centers.
Analysts saw the partnership as a concession by Microsoft that open-source software like Linux was a rival it could not defeat.
Others say Microsoft is trying to take the lead in interoperability so it can manage the relationships, rather than cede management to others.
Studies Find Danger to Forests
In Thinning Without Burning
By Jim Robbins
Thinning forests without also burning accumulated brush and deadwood may increase forest fire damage rather than reduce it, researchers at the Forest Service reported in two recent studies.
The findings cast doubt on how effective some of the thinning done under President Bush's Healthy Forests Initiative will be at preventing fires if the forests are not also burned.
The studies show that in forests that have been thinned but not treated with prescribed burning, tree mortality is much greater than in forests that have had thinning and burning and those that have been left alone. Another study, on Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest in Northern California, had similar findings.
The studies, combined with other recent research showing that climate change is reducing snowpack and making the fire season longer and more intense, have prompted researchers to urge the Forest Service to use prescribed fire more.

From snow to sand: Sample Tanzania's vast array of differing landscapes
Sandwiched between Kenya and Mozambique on Africa's east coast, Tanzania must be one of the most varied countries on earth. From the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro to the beaches of the island of Zanzibar, Tanzania holidays allow you the chance to experience a beautiful landscape and unique culture.
One of the most popular things to do in Tanzania is go on safari. There are many places to go big five game watching, including the famous Serengeti National Park and Selous Game Reserve. Safaris can be tailored to guests, so make sure you know where you want to visit and how you want to stay. Safari accommodation can range from budget camping to luxury lodge stays, so there is something for everyone.
The scenery of Tanzania is stunning and well worth venturing into. The famous Great Lakes of Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyassa are all in Tanzania. The spectacular Kalambo waterfall is the second highest in Africa and near Lake Tanganyika. The freshwater lakes allow for fishing and nature watching, while the soda lakes like Lake Manyara and Lake Natron are surrounded by salt flats where large bird populations of storks, herons and flamingos have made their homes.
Whilst the truly adventurous travellers could climb Mount Kilimanjaro, there are still plenty of adventures to be had without doing something so strenuous. Mount Meru and the Crater Highlands are also popular trekking destinations. There are many experienced guides who will help you decide where to go and give you advice about climbing at high altitudes.
If you want a relaxing holiday, then head to the beaches of Zanzibar. The old spice island features a lot of history alongside fantastic beaches. Wander the streets of Stone Town to see the sultan's palace, the Portuguese fort and the Turkish baths. A trip to the south coast offers the Menai Bay Conservation Area – a protected area for sea turtles, and you can pass through the Jozani Forest, home to the rare Red Colobus monkey.
The neighbouring island of Pemba is also a spice producer, and features the same beautiful beaches and coconut palms as Zanzibar. It is a popular destination for diving, along with Mafia Island, as the islands feature diverse marine life and secluded beaches.
The Indian Ocean coast offers many opportunities to go fishing. There are many large fish, like tuna, marlin and swordfish, and many companies in Dar es Salaam and Pangani can organise fishing trips. The coastline also offers great scenery for boating trips. Visit the Pemba Channel and the small islands around Zanzibar and Mafia. Boating and canoeing trips can also be organised inland on the lakes and rivers. In Selous Game Reserve, boating safaris are a popular option and give you a chance to see some species up close.
Tanzania's towns and cities offer visitors a fulfilling experience, and are great places to pick up souvenirs. Dar es Salaam, Stone Town and Arusha are filled with small shops and markets where you can pick up Tanzanite jewellery, carved wooden items, Masai jewellery and clothes, and lots of small curios at bargain prices if you're prepared to haggle.
For a unique holiday with wonderful landscapes, a great variety of wildlife and welcoming people, holidays to Tanzania are a great choice for an unforgettable trip.

Man charged after overdosing on heroin in diaper aisle of Muncie Walmart
UPDATE (March 1, 2018)– Brett Henry took a plea deal and received a sentence of one year on probation.
Original story:
MUNCIE, Ind. – A man was arrested Thursday after police say he overdosed in the diaper aisle of a Muncie Walmart.
Officers were called to the store in the 4800 block of Clara Lane around 6 p.m. to investigate a report of an unconscious man.
When police arrived, they found Brett N. Henry, 25, surrounded by a crowd of people. Officers advised the crowd to make room and they began to attach AED pads on the man's chest. EMS personnel arrived shortly after and began treating Henry.
When EMS personnel assessed Henry, they reportedly discovered a small plastic baggy with three gel caps containing an unknown whitish-grey powder. EMS then administered two doses of Narcan to Henry, which brought him back.
Officers identified a woman as Henry's fiancé. She said Henry had previously had a drug problem, but didn't know if he still used.
When asked about gel caps, police say Henry admitted it was heroin, which he crushed and snorted while in the Walmart restroom.
Henry was transported to Ball Memorial Hospital and later booked into the Delaware County Jail on a possession of heroin charge.

When you nail polish begins to thicken up, you could add one or two drops of nail polish remover to the bottle to thin it. Shake the bottle well after the addition of the nail polish remover to mix thoroughly & continue your manicure as usual. You should be able to get a number of more applications from the bottle.
Lightly spray your face with a hydrating mist to make your makeup last longer. The mist will help set your makeup, keep it looking fresh & give you that just done makeup choose hours. This really is superb for keeping your makeup in place for those lengthy days at work or nights out with pals.

This ensures that more of the pigment stays on your skin, and that you do not irritate delicate or sensitive skin.
Bump up your hair color. In the event you have dyed your hair plus the outcomes are not as dramatic as you like you could fix this by adding a box of hair coloring to your shampoo. Lather it into your hair & let it set for five minutes, then rinse it out.
The principal aspects to pay attention to when you are trying to work on your appearance or that of somebody near you is fitness, clothes, skin care & general posture. By working on each of these major topics, you'll be in a position to build a better & more gorgeous version of yourself.
