TXAB: The Christ Almighty Blog: God must be our first resort. Never our last.
God must be our first resort. Never our last.
“When all else fails, try God” is not how Christianity works.
Let me reiterate: There’s nothing at all wrong with asking God for things. Jesus teaches us to do so in the Lord’s Prayer: It’s all prayer requests. (Even the parts Christians claim are “praise before the requests.” Asking that God’s name be blessed, his kingdom come, his will be done, are meant to be stuff we want.) When we need something, God expects us and invites us to turn to him for help.
In contrast, our culture encourages us to be independent. Do for ourselves, then ask for help. And you wanna avoid asking for help as long as possible. The world isn’t kind. They don’t help you without first asking, “What’s in it for me?” Strings get attached. They expect cash, or a quid pro quo… or at least a pizza.
Pagans in particular. When things are going fine, they tend to ignore God. When things are dire, suddenly they “get religion” and try to bargain with God. And to many pagans’ surprise—’cause we’d never offer ’em grace on those terms—God regularly takes ’em up on it, and brings ’em into his kingdom as a result. How many testimonies have you heard where people came to Jesus because of a crisis?
But even Christians have a bad habit of only calling upon God when it’s a crisis. God was a last resort when we were pagans; God’s still the last person we turn to when we’re totally stuck.
Heck, I’ve heard Christians teach this. In church. “When there’s no one else to turn to, you have God.” Isn’t that nice? He’s our safety net.
He doesn’t wanna be our safety net. He wants to be our support. He wants to carry us. Help us. Love us. Provide for us. Our first resort.
We don’t trust God to be our first resort.
Yeah, this is a faith thing.
Desperation isn’t faith. It’s actually the opposite of hope. Our other options have played out, we have no further options, we’ve given up… so we’re gonna try something ludicrous, on the tiny chance it might work.
Like the basketball player with two seconds left in the game, who wildly flings the ball at the basket on the slim chance she actually makes it. Or—to get away from all the sports similes—like the man who would ordinarily never buy lottery tickets, but he really needs money bad, and figures, “What have I got to lose?” Well, the $1 you spent on the lottery ticket… or the $100 you spent on 100 tickets.
On the rare occasions these desperate attempts actually succeed, they’re always met with shock and surprise. It’s this unbelieving surprise which exposes how little faith went into the last-resort behavior.
Same with last-resort prayers. We don’t really expect God to come through for us at all. Like the surprise last-second basket, if God ever does help us out at those times, our typical response is stunned amazement. We never thought he’d do it! In too many cases, people still don’t believe he did it. It had to be some bizarre coincidence or dumb luck. See, the request was never made in faith. Stands to reason it wouldn’t be received in faith.
And yeah, this is true of Christians too. We think we have faith, ’cause we believe in God and do religious things. But too often, we do religious things ’cause we’re used to doing religious things. Our “belief” is a learned behavior and an automatic response. It’s not actual belief. “I believe in one God…” is a creed we memorized, not the core of our being. If we did believe in the Almighty, we’d have turned to him immediately!
But we turn to him last because we don’t believe. It’s not a belief. It’s a theory, which we doubt too much to really put to the test. We’re comfortable with accepting it, but doing nothing more with it. Sometimes we embrace cessationism so we never have to test it. If we thought it was solid, we’d stand on it; but we imagine it’s a thin balloon, and don’t wanna poke at it and pop it and destroy our illusions. This barely counts as faith. Arguably it’s not.
Those who choose God as a last resort, often claim they do so have faith. Because at least they turned to God in their desperation. They didn’t give up and turn to no one. That’s something. Right?
Like I said, barely counts as faith. True faith is involving God in our decision-making process long before we have to get desperate. ’Cause we can’t see all the variables like God does. He sees the big picture. He knows the consequences of our actions—not just the logical conclusions, but the wholly unexpected accidents which no one could see coming. We could make the wisest decision possible, but God sees the slip-ups which’ll unravel everything. Or the happy accidents which create whole new opportunities. He can help us navigate these things. He wants to. But if we never consult him, and ignore everybody he forewarns, we’re on our own.
you’re vapor. You appear briefly, then you pass away.
16 Currently you all emphasize your phony plans, and all such emphasis is evil.
17 So when one knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to them it’s sin.
If we truly follow Jesus, we have no business making any serious life plans without first submitting our plans to God. If Jesus were your boss, you know you’d phone him to get permission before starting a project. How much more should we get his okay since he’s our Lord?
God’s solutions have only positive consequences. They may be counter-intuitive, but that’s because our intuition has its limits: We’re only guessing at the future, but God is in the future already. (He fills time, y’know. He looks at it from the inside.) He sees what’s gonna happen, and can help us around the pitfalls. True, from time to time this involves his miraculous power. Also true: He doesn’t always warn us he’s going to do something miraculous. But if we’re following and trusting him, the miracles and the pitfalls won’t shipwreck everything.
We just gotta do our part.
saying, “Your servant, my husband, died.
You know your servant respected the LORD.
3 Elisha told her, “Ask for containers from all your neighbors outside.
Empty containers. Not little ones.
4 Come inside; shut the door behind you and your children.
5 The woman left Elisha and shut the door behind her and her children.
They brought her containers, and she poured the oil.
They told her, “There are no more containers.” And the oil stopped.
7 She came to tell Elisha the God’s-man. He told her, “Go.
You might remember that story. You might not know the woman herself was a prophet; most translations only figure she was only the wife of a prophet. (’Cause sexism. The idea of a woman prophet simply eludes them, and futzes with their interpretation.) So she knew to turn to God in a moment of dire need. She knew to consult with Elisha, the head prophet, to seek God’s solution to her problem: Her creditor wanted money, and in that culture you could pay your debts through slavery. God’s solution: An oil pot that could miraculously fill much larger containers. A weird solution that would never have occurred to us. Wouldn’t even be tried by us—unless we had this woman’s level of faith.
The weirder God’s solutions sound, the more obviously he’s trying to stretch our faith. His answers won’t always appear to make sense. And he knows it. But we gotta trust him anyway. Our prayers are answered only to the limit we’re willing to trust him. Notice how the oil kept flowing till they ran out of containers. Had the woman borrowed any fewer containers, God would’ve turned off the oil sooner. But she borrowed enough to pay off the family debt, and then some.
As a prophet, this woman had the God-experiences to know Elisha’s instructions weren’t that crazy. She’d seen weirder. It’s way easier to have faith after we’ve seen God work often enough. If we’ve seen nothing, the first leap of faith seems impossible. Hurdle it, and it gets way easier.
So: When you pray, start submitting your plans of the future to God. What does he need to sign off on? What expectations do you have for your ideas—and might God be better able to fulfill them? Where might God need to give his input? Trust him with your future.
If we’re truly following Jesus, it’s the least we can do.

I am currently working on a very fun and interesting project that involves both Architectural Salvage and Commissioning Custom Furniture. Before embarking on both aspects of this project, I came across two wonderful articles from Colorado Homes and Lifestyles Magazine. Here are 10 Things You Should Know About Architectural Salvage, as printed in Colorado Homes & Lifestyles.
It’s a fun way to go green. When you buy salvaged building materials you’re not only scoring conversation-worthy accents for your home; you’re also diverting materials from the landfill and minimizing the use of raw materials.
Don’t expect perfection. “The reason these pieces are charming and interesting is that they’re obviously recycled—meaning they’re not perfect,” says Eron Johnson, owner of Denver’s Eron Johnson Antiques. Tip: Have a furniture restorer coat any pieces of peeling paint with clear paste wax, which maintains the antiquity of the piece but gives it a smooth finish, Johnson says.
Beware of “too good to be true.” There are a lot of architectural salvage knockoffs out there, warns Johnson—particularly when it comes to marble fireplaces, stained glass and iron work. If the price is too good to be true (as in, considerably less than every other piece you find), it probably isn’t the real thing.
Know what you need. If you’re shopping for pieces that need to serve a function (doors that operate, etc.), bring along a notepad filled with the measurements and quantities you need and pictures of items you want to match, says Tom Sundheim, owner of Queen City Architectural Salvage in Denver.
Be open to doors. Shopping for antique doors means having an eye for “quality beneath the paint,” says Sundheim. “Know which woods are heaviest. A pine door will weigh far less than a comparable oak door.” If you need the door to function, pony up for a heavier door. Also, for newer homes, understand that you may have to reframe openings to accommodate taller antique doors, Johnson says.
Hit up the hardware section. You might have a hard time finding enough matching knobs and drawer pulls to outfit, say, a whole kitchen. But unearth a few antique pulls (they can even be mismatched) for the right dresser or accent table, and you’ve got a statement piece.
Dig around for your garden. A trip to the salvage yard can yield curios perfect for your outdoor living spaces, too. Look for stone statues or pillars, cast-iron park benches, weathered farm tables, or even vintage bathtubs (great for birdbaths).
Try DIY salvage. Someone just might love that pale-pink tub you’re tearing out of your master bathroom. Before you haul it off to the landfill, consider selling your relics online, or, even better, donating them to ReSource Yard (resourceyard.org), a nonprofit with salvage yards in Boulder and Fort Collins. Sale proceeds benefit waste-reduction programs and donations are tax deductible.
My adventures in Architectural Salvage took me to the ReSource Yard in Boulder and Queen City Salvage in Denver. I also perused the Eron Johnson website (which is a great site and user-friendly). Ultimately, I am repurposing some wood that used to be a kitchen floor and I purchased dining chairs on 1stDibs. My adventures continue as I am planning another visit to Queen City for a new art idea I have. Stay tuned for more stories on this interior design project, coming soon.
Do you have treasures that you’ve salvaged or recycled? Share with us here or on Facebook.

So I received word in the mail today, after a brief verbal word a couple weeks back, that I'll be getting renewed. I'd heard from several other posties I work with, that they usually last for 6 months and then usually just keep carrying over. Unless permanent is offered obviously.
However, my contract is being renewed for just a total of 67 days. Not even a full 3 month.
Is this a warning sign that I won't be around much longer? And what exactly could the union do for me? We've got one rep and he's barely ever in the depot.
When I am on a part time contract my contract renew different months evertime some time 2 some time 3 and even sometime even 1 month.
My experience is that a group of us were given 8 x 3 monthly contracts then long term i.e. permanent after two years service.
The last group to be taken on were reduced to a monthly rolling contract in their second year before being given a permanent contract last Oct/Nov.
So there's still a chance of permanent then in the future?!

is this a warning sign that i won't be around much longer? and what exactly could the union do for me? we've got one rep and he's barely ever in the depot.
when i am on a part time contract my contract renew different months evertime some time 2 some time 3 and even sometime even 1 month.
my experience is that a group of us were given 8 x 3 monthly contracts then long term i.e. permanent after two years service.
the last group to be taken on were reduced to a monthly rolling contract in their second year before being given a permanent contract last oct/nov.
so there's still a chance of permanent then in the future?!


text: Liquid biopsies, examinations of tumor components in body fluids, have shown promise for predicting clinical outcomes. To evaluate tumor-associated genomic and genetic variations in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and their associations with treatment response and overall survival, we applied whole genome and targeted sequencing to examine the plasma cfDNAs derived from 20 patients with advanced prostate cancer. Sequencing-based genomic abnormality analysis revealed locus-specific gains or losses that were common in prostate cancer, such as 8q gains, AR amplifications, PTEN losses and TMPRSS2-ERG fusions. To estimate tumor burden in cfDNA, we developed a Plasma Genomic Abnormality (PGA) score by summing the most significant copy number variations. Cox regression analysis showed that PGA scores were significantly associated with overall survival (p < 0.04). After androgen deprivation therapy or chemotherapy, targeted sequencing showed significant mutational profile changes in genes involved in androgen biosynthesis, AR activation, DNA repair, and chemotherapy resistance. These changes may reflect the dynamic evolution of heterozygous tumor populations in response to these treatments. These results strongly support the feasibility of using non-invasive liquid biopsies as potential tools to study biological mechanisms underlying therapy-specific resistance and to predict disease progression in advanced prostate cancer.

I hope she shows up to Gallifrey next year. An amazing costume!
I can’t stop laughing at this…as disturbing as it is!
“Steven Moffat has explained the reason why Series 7 of Doctor Who is moving to Autumn 2012.
Connect with us now more than ever. We have a presence on Google + at: https://plus.google.com/i/_bSov6QHGbs:SiAdW1NAuCo . See you there!
And at last we come to the end of Series 6 of Doctor Who. All year it has felt as if it would never get here and yet here we are with the complete story. It is so weird to reach this point, even though we all knew it was coming.
Not so oddly enough, my initial first reaction to The Wedding of River Song was the exact same one I had towards the first episode of the season, The Impossible Astronaut. I was left with an ambivalent, empty feeling that it was unsatisfying, too jammed packed with too much information, too many cool FX and visuals and no time spent on emotional content. Surprised at my feelings then, I did the same thing today as I did then with that season opener. I rewatched the episode. And sure enough, it was much better the second time around.
I guess I was distracted, or maybe it was reading all the spoilers beforehand. Who knows? These episodes took much, much longer to grow on me, which in the end is no bad thing as long as I retain and practice something all the loud-mouthed moaners and pissers in Doctor Who fandom don’t. That is patience and faith. All great things in life are either adored or hated and Doctor Who has always ridden that roller coaster of human emotion like a trip through the time vortex in a Tardis with no outer shell. It’s an insane, bucking ride – sometimes full of bad FX, poor scripts and little hope for continuation, as in the 90s. And somehow, through it all, it has always survived.
As we saw in the last episode in Closing Time, the Doctor seemed resigned to his fate. Visiting Craig was the best thing that happened to him as the human gave him what he needed to not go down without a fight – validation of his invaluable contribution to the universe. Now, in The Wedding of River Song, he goes on a mission to find out why he has to die. Time has stopped, jammed on the point of his death beside Lake Silencio. Emperor Winston Churchill, sensing something is wrong with time, drags our mad soothsayer Doctor out of the dungeons to explain this phenomenon to him. Stuck in modern times, above their heads are traffic jams of cars held aloft by balloons, pterodactyls terrorize Hyde Park and Roman chariots wait to cross London streets at traffic lights. As colorful and fun as this new world seems, it’s all gone wrong and the Doctor tells his old friend how it all started with a woman.
There is a wonderful balance of fun along with the gut-wrenching scenes of River Song begging the Doctor to run as the astronaut suit forces her hand to rise in the air to deliver the killing blows.
This is a fun, true to form Moffat story that doesn’t reveal its best-kept, series-long secrets until the literal last 5-10 minutes of air time. And while I have been waiting all year for those, the best scenes are also the emotional ones. The 1,100 year old Time Lord may not understand why River would endanger the universe to find a way to save him, but we the viewers do and it brought tears to my eyes when she proclaims to him that she would suffer more than all the beings in the universe combined if she had to stand on that Utah lakeside and end his life. What else could he do than what he did next? Hence the name of the episode.
Thank you, Steven Moffat. Thank you for still finding amazing places to take the Doctor after 30+ years of adventure. We love you for it.

It’s always sunny in Teanaway! Purchased by Washington State in 2013, Teanaway Community Forest is the first of its kind in the state of Washington. Its unique designation is meant to protect this wild forest land while giving local groups a say in the land’s management, and is a testament to the passion that outdoor enthusiasts have for this Ponderosa Pine-filled valley. Nestled between Wenatchee National Forest and farmland, Teanaway is an oasis for rare wolf packs, wildflowers, and spotted owls. We at Northwest Trail Runs are excited to invite you to this sunny valley, to a truly wild trail run, and catch a peek of Mt. Stuart along the way.
This event is part of the Half Marathon Trail Series, and runners in the Half Marathon distance will earn points toward their series standing. You can read more below or on the Half Marathon Trail Series page.
Use the red registration button on the left to register for multiple Half Marathon Trail Series events at once. Register for two races to get a 5% discount on your entry fees, three races to get a 10% discount, and four or more races to get a 15% entry fee discount. The green button on the right links to registration just for this race.
Online pre-registration closes Friday, May 31 at 11:59pm.
The course follows primarily dirt logging roads of various ages, as well as some smaller trails through scattered forest, a few meadows, and past sandstone slabs. At times you can catch a peek into neighboring valleys. There is moderate elevation gain, as is listed below.
The half-marathon course is one large loop. Those running the 5k and 10k will each follow the half-marathon loop, but with a well-signed shortcut for each of the shorter distances, while marathoners will complete the half-marathon loop twice.
Aid stations offer water, electrolyte drink, and some carbohydrate-rich or salty foods, such as cookies, pieces of energy bar, gels, chews, chips, bagel, fruity candy, fig bars, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and/or bananas.
The start, finish, and registration area is located on W Fork Teanaway Road, just past the split with Teanaway Road Middle Fork (stay left to keep on W Fork Teanaway Road). There is a gravel parking lot here; please be mindful to park efficiently next to other cars; don’t leave wide gaps between you and other parked cars.
A Discover Pass is required to park & camp inside the Teanaway Community Forest. One day passes are NOT sold on-site, therefore you must pre-purchase your pass ahead of time. Click here for a list of locations where you can buy your pass ahead of time. The Sportland Mini Mart Inc. on 4400 Bullfrog Rd in Cle Elum is the closest location to the start and finish that sells Discover Passes.
Be prepared to not have cell reception while you’re approaching the venue! You may want to print directions.
Come a day early and enjoy exploring more of the Teanaway at The Teanaway Navigation Race! Offering an hour of free beginner training, and 2-hour, 4-hour, and 8-hour race options, you make it a weekend full of adventure!
Make it a beautiful and leisurely weekend by camping at West Fork Teanaway Campground, less than a mile from the start! This is a free campground with pit toilets and no running water or power, but you will need a Discover Pass to camp here (see details under Driving Directions & Parking above.) There are not designated camping spots, just a lot of flat, open space for you to pitch your tent. West Fork Teanaway Campground (showing as “Teanaway Campground” on Google Maps) was formerly operated by American Forest Resources and was recently transferred to the state within the new Teanaway Community Forest designation.
West Fork Teanaway Campground is very large, with tons of space to pitch a tent, and should not fill. However, in the unlikely event that it does fill, you can camp at Eagle Valley, on the south side of I-90, or try one of the other campgrounds in the Teanaway Valley, Indian Camp or Twenty-nine Pines.
If you prefer warmer and softer accommodations, Cle Elum is just a 30-minute drive from the start, and offers numerous hotel options.
Tech and cotton T-shirts with new custom artwork for The Teanaway Trail Run are available for purchase with online registration and can be picked up onsite at the event.
The tech T-shirt is Carolina Blue with a dark blue print, and the cotton T-shirt is a sunny (like the Teanaway Valley) Cornsilk Yellow color with a warm brown print.
Teanaway apparel will not be available for purchase on event-day. There will be our usual Northwest Trail Runs series apparel available, with payment in cash only.
The trails will be open to other users during the event, including pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians (horseback riders). Please be courteous. Horses have the right of way. If you encounter a horse in your path, stop running and talk to the rider. You will probably need to step to the side of the trail to let the horse pass, but sometimes the rider will tell you it is okay for you to walk past. The amount of trail traffic will depend upon the weather.
Participants are responsible for their own safety while participating, and the organizers are neither qualified nor equipped to render medical care in the event of a serious injury. In case of an emergency, call 9-1-1. You are encouraged to bring a cell phone with you as a safety precaution, if you wish.
Where the trails are narrow, please let other participants pass you if they want to get by. It is a passing runner’s job to tell the person in front that they wish to pass.
If you are wearing headphones during the event, please keep the volume low so that you can hear runners behind you. Be especially mindful that runners may be asking you to step aside so they may pass.

it’s always sunny in teanaway! purchased by washington state in 2013, teanaway community forest is the first of its kind in the state of washington. its unique designation is meant to protect this wild forest land while giving local groups a say in the land’s management, and is a testament to the passion that outdoor enthusiasts have for this ponderosa pine-filled valley. nestled between wenatchee national forest and farmland, teanaway is an oasis for rare wolf packs, wildflowers, and spotted owls. we at northwest trail runs are excited to invite you to this sunny valley, to a truly wild trail run, and catch a peek of mt. stuart along the way.
this event is part of the half marathon trail series, and runners in the half marathon distance will earn points toward their series standing. you can read more below or on the half marathon trail series page.
use the red registration button on the left to register for multiple half marathon trail series events at once. register for two races to get a 5% discount on your entry fees, three races to get a 10% discount, and four or more races to get a 15% entry fee discount. the green button on the right links to registration just for this race.
online pre-registration closes friday, may 31 at 11:59pm.
the course follows primarily dirt logging roads of various ages, as well as some smaller trails through scattered forest, a few meadows, and past sandstone slabs. at times you can catch a peek into neighboring valleys. there is moderate elevation gain, as is listed below.
the half-marathon course is one large loop. those running the 5k and 10k will each follow the half-marathon loop, but with a well-signed shortcut for each of the shorter distances, while marathoners will complete the half-marathon loop twice.
aid stations offer water, electrolyte drink, and some carbohydrate-rich or salty foods, such as cookies, pieces of energy bar, gels, chews, chips, bagel, fruity candy, fig bars, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and/or bananas.
the start, finish, and registration area is located on w fork teanaway road, just past the split with teanaway road middle fork (stay left to keep on w fork teanaway road). there is a gravel parking lot here; please be mindful to park efficiently next to other cars; don’t leave wide gaps between you and other parked cars.
a discover pass is required to park & camp inside the teanaway community forest. one day passes are not sold on-site, therefore you must pre-purchase your pass ahead of time. click here for a list of locations where you can buy your pass ahead of time. the sportland mini mart inc. on 4400 bullfrog rd in cle elum is the closest location to the start and finish that sells discover passes.
be prepared to not have cell reception while you’re approaching the venue! you may want to print directions.
come a day early and enjoy exploring more of the teanaway at the teanaway navigation race! offering an hour of free beginner training, and 2-hour, 4-hour, and 8-hour race options, you make it a weekend full of adventure!
make it a beautiful and leisurely weekend by camping at west fork teanaway campground, less than a mile from the start! this is a free campground with pit toilets and no running water or power, but you will need a discover pass to camp here (see details under driving directions & parking above.) there are not designated camping spots, just a lot of flat, open space for you to pitch your tent. west fork teanaway campground (showing as “teanaway campground” on google maps) was formerly operated by american forest resources and was recently transferred to the state within the new teanaway community forest designation.
west fork teanaway campground is very large, with tons of space to pitch a tent, and should not fill. however, in the unlikely event that it does fill, you can camp at eagle valley, on the south side of i-90, or try one of the other campgrounds in the teanaway valley, indian camp or twenty-nine pines.
if you prefer warmer and softer accommodations, cle elum is just a 30-minute drive from the start, and offers numerous hotel options.
tech and cotton t-shirts with new custom artwork for the teanaway trail run are available for purchase with online registration and can be picked up onsite at the event.
the tech t-shirt is carolina blue with a dark blue print, and the cotton t-shirt is a sunny (like the teanaway valley) cornsilk yellow color with a warm brown print.
teanaway apparel will not be available for purchase on event-day. there will be our usual northwest trail runs series apparel available, with payment in cash only.
the trails will be open to other users during the event, including pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians (horseback riders). please be courteous. horses have the right of way. if you encounter a horse in your path, stop running and talk to the rider. you will probably need to step to the side of the trail to let the horse pass, but sometimes the rider will tell you it is okay for you to walk past. the amount of trail traffic will depend upon the weather.
participants are responsible for their own safety while participating, and the organizers are neither qualified nor equipped to render medical care in the event of a serious injury. in case of an emergency, call 9-1-1. you are encouraged to bring a cell phone with you as a safety precaution, if you wish.

Historian Kent Shifferd reminds us that at present we might believe that the world is more violent than it ever has been. Yes, there is an overwhelming war system, one that might provide us with a darkening and narrowing vision of the future. It’s an old story but it’s no longer the only story. Another is in the making although most educators, the media, and even presidents don’t know about it. Large shifts are taking place in terms of global collaboration, constructive conflict resolution and social change.
We are happy to share our 2012 educational short documentary “The Evolution of a Global Peace System”. Based on historian Kent Shifferd’s “From War to Peace”, this movie describes 28 trends leading to the evolution of a Global Peace System.

Asian stock markets outside Japan were in positive territory on 7 October as investors shrugged off the International Monetary Fund (IMF) downgrading its forecast for global economic growth. Japan's Nikkei benchmark index fell 0.4% to 18,105.25 points in the afternoon session after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) opted against expanding its stimulus programme despite stagnant growth and tepid inflation.
"Japan's economy continues to recover moderately although exports and production have been affected by the slowdown in emerging economies," the BOJ said in a statement. "Inflation expectations appear to be rising on the whole from a somewhat longer-term perspective."
The IMF cut its 2015 growth estimate to 3.1% from 3.3%, citing sluggish growth in developing economies and increased financial market volatility.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was up by 1.1% at 22,071.80.
Traders also ignored a weak lead from Wall Street, where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq share averages receded 0.4% and 0.7%, respectively. "Asian markets have been mixed on the day, but on the whole the momentum is running out of steam," said Chris Weston, market analyst at trading firm IG in Melbourne. "Stock picking is about as tough as it has been in recent memory, although... there have been some very constructive flows into energy names."
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was up by 0.5% to 5,195.30 points led by gains in the energy sector. In South Korea, the Kospi index advanced 0.6% to 2,002.67 while India's Sensex was up 0.2% in early trading.
Meanwhile, China said its foreign exchange reserves shrank by $43.3bn in September to $3.51tn (£2.3tn; €3.12tn). The decline was expected due to China's continued intervention in the currency market to stabilize the value of the yuan, but analysts said the decline was not as steep as feared.
"It adds to the building momentum that perhaps China is not going to implode anytime soon – perhaps some of the negative sentiment will unwind," Weston said. The mainland's stock markets remain shut for public holidays.

Baby announcement etiquette - what do you think?
For me, not acceptable. We are simply not telling people until we are ready for the news to be public this time. MIL has proven herself unable to bite her tongue when it comes to sharing our special news.
My SIL did this to us when DD was born. I was raging then and it still upsets me when I think about it. I know she only did it because she was so excited for us but it's still totally unacceptable to me.
I hate the thought of it. My sister was really unwell after her bub was born (spent 2 nights in ICU) and I didn't mention anything on FB even though I was so proud and excited. I wasn't FB friends with my BIL at that time (he has general family issues, more with his but long story) and I ended up texting my sister a few days later to ask if there were anymore photos (they live interstate) and all mum dad and I had seen was one photo from immediately after the birth. BIL had made the announcement on FB when he was born and had been sharing all these photos with his friends, but none with us. I don't know what my sister had done, but she wasn't tagged in any of the announcements/photos so we were literally in the dark, so that sucked. I was happy I waited until I knew they had announced it, but also annoyed at the fact that more of the news/photos were shared amongst his friends only. I'd do the same again though. Not my baby, not my news.
This however is my biggest worry when we have babies. My MIL puts everything on Facebook, there is no filter. It's like there's no thought about whether appropriate or not. (Her breast cancer diagnosis was played out on Facebook. Basically the second she was off the phone with us telling us she had announced it on FB 😕) She will be someone I'm wary of and I shouldn't have to be.
My friend had her baby in July. Her best friend announced it. And people congratulated her before she got a word in. I asked her and she said she didn't mind. Evidently it depends on the parent.
But in my personal opinion. Not ok in any circumstances.
When I had DS1 my father put it on Facebook within minutes of me calling. That's how my BFF (babies godmother) found out. I was planning on calling her within an hour or so when we had decided bubs name. I was furious.
With ds2 my BFF received the first phone call and my father the last. People were told "we're holding off posting in Facebook until we confirm bubs name."
It happened to us and I was so upset. We had a beautifully worded announcement ready that was spoilt by a family member jumping the gun. This family member had my phone number so could have text a congrats. I deleted the msg as soon as I saw it but a few people had already responded.
We wanted to wait till the next day to Facebook announce so we could enjoy the special time to ourselves for a while.
I think it's so rude.
Yeah it wouldn't really bother me. I know some people actually disable their account from a week out from their due date so they aren't bombarded and can concentrate on the impending birth.
Slightly different but my MIL announced when we found out I was pregnant on Facebook. I was only 10 weeks, so I was really annoyed!
It was our news to share and she took that away from us. Half my immediate family didn't know so I was annoyed.
Etiquette in baby change rooms!
