Did you click on my post because of the title? Give me a minute and I’ll explain.
Fasting is a Spiritual discipline that I am interested in but am NOT an expert on. From what I understand in scripture, people withheld food from themselves in order to pray. I guess there is something about suffering that focuses the mind, and lets Jesus know that you are serious.
But couldn’t fasting be any pleasure we voluntarily abstain from in order to pray? Does it have to be just food? Several years ago a beloved uncle was in the throws of cancer. He was riddled with it, and there was nothing left to do but pray. I found myself forgetting to remember him on certain days that I was consumed with my job and life. I DIDN’T WANT TO FORGET! So I devised a plan. I stopped painting my toenails. Hear me out y’all. In my part of Texas we wear sandals all the way up until winter. When I look at my toes, it makes me happy to see shiny, bright colors staring back at me. When they are not painted I cringe. (I know some of you are laughing…me too) These unpolished toes reminded me to pray. Not only that, but it reminded me that while I was living a perfectly healthy life, someone I loved was in agony.
And now, another person I love is in agony over an ongoing job situation. I should be praying for him daily, but I became frustrated when my prayers seemed tiny and brief. I wanted my prayers to be as big, and bold as my love. So I devised another fast, especially for this situation. I will continue this fast until a conclusion is reached. Since this fast is current, I will keep it private for now.
Jesus gave specific instructions for fasting.
Did you notice that Jesus says WHEN YOU FAST. Not IF you fast.
Other ideas for long term fasting are: television, computer, phone activity (you could use it just to take calls), coffee (taking it black when you don’t usually would be a great fast), sodas, makeup, jeans, earrings, nail polish, even taking a different out of the way route home from work would be a great reminder to pray. Anything that could purposely cause you inconvenience. And by the way, if you recoiled when you read one of these ideas, and said to yourself you could never give up that particular item…I hate to tell you, but THAT’S the one you should go for first! It’s all about suffering y’all. Click here for Long Term Fasting Ideas printable PDF.
Be creative with your fasting y’all. Think outside of the box and become powerful prayer warriors. Blessings!

You know the times when you are trying to be a good Christian and not stress over something that is potentially serious, potentially life-changing? When you are walking along in your daily doldrums, and suddenly, you get some kind of jaw dropping news…the conclusion has not been delivered, the outcome is yet to be determined? (You fill in the blank with specifics.) Do you have something in mind? You wonder how the apostle Paul could possibly say to not be anxious about anything?
What you do next is pivotal. And you will do something. It will be automatic. A person can’t just sit around twiddling thumbs. At times like these we are made for action.
Number 2…Hand it over, lift it up, pass it on…that steaming, fiery coal that held too long makes you squirm with discomfort.
But sometimes in the real world things are not so cut and dried. If y’all are like me, you get scared and panic…think of worst case scenarios (uh, that would be Number 1)…and before I know it, I am in full tilt anxiety mode. Then, and only then, I move to Number 2 because I can’t stand the suffering anymore. Wouldn’t it be great to go straight to Jesus instead of putting myself through all that?
I am glad I have beautiful people in my life who can go before me with singing, showing me what living lite looks like.
I’m glad I have scripture that reminds me of God’s promises and God’s character.
I’m glad the Holy Spirit groans for me before the throne of God.
And I am glad I am loved by my Father who comforts me again and again.

Welcome to the first post of Sanctified Tourist. I want to start Day 1 of my blog with a post on the scriptural aspect of food.
Culture has clear ideas about the purpose of a healthy body. Culture suggests that health is for YOU…for longer life, for self esteem, for energy, for those old jeans in your closet. But to a Jesus follower, health should not be just for you, but for what you can do with it. Health is to help you live longer to serve Him, to give you energy for Him, to help you raise your kids for Him. Each bite you take is spiritual worship to the Holy Spirit. Each decision to avoid processed food is a knee bent to the Father. Each lesson taught to your children about healthy food choices is a song of praise to our Lord. Each meal made from scratch with tired hands from a long day at work is a holy prayer rising up. Consider this scripture.
Consuming food takes on a whole new meaning when your main focus is not pleasure or hunger. It becomes a glorious offering.
Picture: Taken of my husband and me on a walk in Texas. We always hold hands when we walk.

In the summer of 1988, I left the familiar confines of my youth, following an unclear path to adulthood. New England was all that I had known. The stone walls, the hardwood forests, and the lobster traps stacked haphazardly on a sun bleached dock were the landmarks of my young existence. My decision to head to the desert southwest at the age of 18 was influenced by many things: a determination to figure out who I was, an escape from family and friends, and the release of a musical album.
Thirty years ago, U2's The Joshua Tree was released. It was a sonic and visual haj that led me to the deserts of Arizona. The black and white cover art encapsulating the dry and barren landscape that awaited me. It was a harshness that mirrored the nation and my outlook on life at that time. It was also a pivotal moment in my existence. My senses came alive with the smells of creosote advancing ahead of the summer monsoon. My eyes burned as I gazed upon the dried and jagged arroyos scarring the red earth and I wondered under sunsets that made me believe in a higher power. It was my Eden. Six years later, I left thinking I would never return. I figured out who I was and had grown to appreciate and identify with being a New Englander. I had wandered the desert long enough.
Last summer, I finally returned with my own family to the desert after a self imposed absence. Much had changed, but much was still the same. The July heat remained stifling, but the landscape continued to speak to me. It was an unexpected homecoming that I had needed. The smell of the desert is unlike anything I have encountered. The memories returned to me, harbingers of my future. Life is cyclical, but it continues to surprise.

A luxurious collection of ten Tea Forté green tea blends. The open lid reveals a detailed tea menu for easy flavor selection. A beautiful reusable serving box that can be conveniently refilled with trays from your favorite Presentation Box.
Soothing chamomile - infused green tea with a hint of lemon.
Rare, exceptional Chung Hao tea, scented with jasmine flowers.
Mango and sunflower petals create a fresh tropical taste.
Spicy ginger meets sweet pineapple for a tropical take on classic green tea.
Superior-grade leaves, harvested and steamed in early spring.
I purchased this lovely presentation box for a Christmas gift and received accolades from my daughter! It is a delightful assortment of green tea and I would highly recommend this s a special gift!
This green tea assortment has something for everyone. Placed my order before holidays and my family enjoyed tasting the variety of flavors.
We are big fans of Tea Forte, both for ourselves and for others. I have found that an assortment chest of teas is a very welcome gift, and my wife simply loves the English Breakfast tea. As a matter of fact, she has stopped drinking anything but it, because the taste is so superior to her old brand.
This is a great collection of teas. Tea Forte is always such a treat.
This presentation box is a perfect way to experience the many different varieties of green team. My favorite is jasmine.
Love these different green teas. Really great flavor. Nothing bitter, the citrus one is my favorite.
beautiful presentation and excellent tea!
Tea Forte is the top of the line of teas. It is an incredible treat for any tea lover.
Puts me in a relaxed mood away from the frenetic pace of everyday life. I look forward to enjoying my tea time every afternoon. Sublime.
I like the pyramid shape teabags. I've tried several brands of teas and I must say Tea Forte's green tea is really good. What makes them different from the other green teas I've tried is that (i.e. green pineapple) you actually taste the green tea and whatever other flavor its combined with. There's a nice balance with the two flavors joining together in that single cup of tea. My first time trying and will definitely not be my last.

Sometimes, the side sections of each core and outer frame are welded together at corners to avoid gaps, or corner sections, after fixing into the grooved channel sections on the back of two adjacent side sections, are crimped for assembly. The cores are inter-connected through connecting strips that are welded to the collars of each core. The welding and crimping operations require extra equipment as well as these operations are very time consuming thereby increasing the cost of production.
Due to the grooved channel sections at the back side of each side section and corner sections used for the assembly or cores, the weight of the diffuser is increased which also increases the cost of production.
To avoid gaps at the corners of the core(s), the side sections of the cores are produced with high precision, which increases the cost.
On assembly some times there remains a gap between two side sections, at the corners of the core(s), due to which diffusers are rejected, resulting into a big loss of production i.e. material and labour and which further increases the cost of production.
When a diffuser is attached to a duct and conditioned air is blown through the duct, it is noticed that the air is not diffused equally to all sides at the corner sections as the grooved channel sections or ridges at the back surfaces of the cores come in the path of air and disturb the equal and proper diffusion of air in all directions. The enclosed collars of the centre core and intermediate core(s) rebounds the air, thereby reducing the flow or air through corners of the diffuser.
As the diffuser is manufactured in several pieces, which are assembled, manufacturing process is cumbersome, time consuming and labour oriented and increases the cost of production.
Due to the grooved channel sections and corner sections or ridges and welding spots on the back surface of the core(s), dust is accumulated therein, which is difficult to clean.
Dust is also accumulated in gaps at corners on the front surfaces of the cores, which gives a dirty look to the diffuser and tarnish interior decoration look of the room/space.
A main object of this invention is therefore to obviate the above mentioned drawbacks of the existing diffusers and to provide an improved diffuser for central air conditioning system, wherein each of the central core and/or the intermediate core(s) and/or the outer frame are manufactured in a single piece and both the outer as well as inner surfaces of the cores and/or the outer frame are smooth without any extra section, projection or groove which dispenses with the requirement of extra material, and the time taken for assembly is also very much reduced and at the same time there is no obstacle in the flow path of air, which is diffused equally in all the directions. As the cores are manufactured in a single piece, there is no question of any gap at the corners thus no chance of rejection of the product and no need of any welding and crimping operations and hence the cost of production of the diffuser will obviously be very less.
Respondent No. 2 (Controller of Patents) was satisfied that the invention was patentable and accordingly the patent was granted vide No. 181821 on 18th Jan, 1995. On 25th August 2006 the Respondent No. 1 sent a legal notice to the Applicant, wherein according to this notice, the Applicant was inter alia informed of the patent in favour of the Respondent and that the Applicant was not entitled to manufacture or sell air diffusers identical to the patented product or substantially similar to it. The Applicant sent a lawyer’s reply dated 13-9-2006 alleging that the patented product was known in the market, it was neither new nor novel, and that there is concealment of material facts and that the patent was obtained by fraud. It was also alleged that the Respondent was nothing but a job-worker.
After this exchange of correspondence, the Applicant filed O.P. 704 of 2006 before the Hon’ble Madras High Court for revocation of the patent. This was transferred to IPAB. Counter statement was filed and both sides also filed the evidence to support their case. Applicant submitted that there was no novelty in the invention and it was obvious and also submitted that the main feature of the invention even according to the Respondent was that it was a single piece centre core to facilitate clean flow of air. He submitted that diffusers have been known for long and there was evidence to show that there was prior art where the single piece units were known. He referred to Series 5700 louvre face ceiling diffusers. From the paper book, he pointed out that there is specific reference to one piece stamped steel construction and that this prior art was also meant to provide an economic solution to air distribution problems requiring equal throw in all directions. According to him, this anticipated the patented product. Further, he submitted that if the only difference is the manner in which the inner assembly can be removed, that hardly qualifies for the grant of a patent. He then referred to another prior art. Series 5800 and 5800A louver face Directional Diffusers. He submitted that this too indicated provision of equal throw, quick release of inner assembly for immediate access and ease of installation. According to him, the fact that the prior art was used for ceiling air–conditioners while the patent product was for central air-conditioner will not make it non-obvious. He also referred to Titus and Trox catalogues, without bearing any dates. On being asked to provide the dates of these documents, he was unable to give any acceptable evidence. Therefore, only two prior arts were provided by the applicant.
Respondent (Patentee) on the other hand submitted that till 1995 there was no prior art that anticipated the claimed subject matter. All the single piece units were extruded aluminium, which meant that metal sheets were cut and joined. The patented product was, on the other hand, made as a single unit from a special die in a metal press.
Respondent also produced, before the IPAB board, samples of the prior art and the patented product and submitted that it was wrong to call the Respondent a job worker and that he had won many awards and recognition of his expertise. He submitted that the patented product was supplied by the Respondent to persons in the same business not only in India but abroad too. He submitted that while the prior art shows joints, corners and gaps, the patented product is one smooth surface with no gaps or joints. Also, in the prior art, the assembly is detached by turning clockwise, whereas in the patent product, it is held by spring and is removed by applying pressure. He also submitted that in the prior art, there is a buttoned hole in the centre cone, while the patented product has an outwardly and downwardly directed slanting surface with neither a button nor hole. He submitted that the prior art has uneven surface and crimping and that the air is distributed by rebound, whereas in the patented product, there are no hindrances to the flow of air. The patented product has clear slots while the prior art does not. He further submitted that the prior art is limited to 2 or 3 cone inner assembly, whereas the patented product can have multiple cores depending on the requirement. The Respondent further pointed out to the tabular column in the Respondent’s counter statement where each and every distinguishing feature of the patented product is explained and submitted that the prior art does not teach the invention and that the patented produce is new and non-obvious. He also submitted that, in addition to the counter statement, the Respondent has marked in evidence the affidavit of one Mr. Pankaj Dharker of impeccable credentials who has affirmed that the product is an invention. He submitted that there is no proof of wrongful use or suppression of information and therefore the Applicant can not raise these grounds without proof. As regards prior publication, the Respondent submitted that there should be material to show that it was published. Respondent further submitted that as regards the ETL report, no reliance can be placed on it without an affidavit to file it as evidence, and in any event, it only refers to diffusers constructed of extruded aluminium, which can not be prior art as far as this product is concerned.
Submissions were heard and the matter was examined by Hon’ble Justice Prabha Sridevan, wherein it was concluded that the Respondent was most certainly not a job worker and that the evidence filed by the Respondent shows the number of awards and recognition of his merit that he has received from various people including the Government. It was further held that the Applicant also did not seriously urge that stand and that the applicant had not filed any evidence apart from the two prior arts to support its case. It was further stated that the Respondent, on the other hand, had filed a very important piece of evidence that was the affidavit of the expert in the field and spoke of the disadvantages that existed in the diffusers prior to 1995. Evidence of Pankaj Dharker showed that in the existing art, because of the corner sections and the grooved channels, flow of the air was obstructed and that there was a reduction of airflow because in the prior art air rebounded. It was also appreciated that the assembly of various parts was a costly process and that the prior art required joining of the various parts and if this was not done with a high degree of accuracy, there was likely to be higher rate of rejection. Furthermore, it was noted that the prior art designs were aesthetically inferior and that the accumulation of dust was high. His affidavit showed the prior art and the patented product in comparison, both with photographs and with explanatory notes. From the affidavit of the respondent and the supporting evidence, it was concluded that the prior art series 5700 and 5800 did not teach the patented product, and that the claimed subject matter was a new invention that served the object of the invention and also avoided the existing drawbacks of the prior art. 5700 and 5800 are the same except for the fact that 5700 has a 2 cone assembly, while 5800 has a 3 cone assembly. The TROX and the Titus catalogues were not considered since there was no date and It was not know if they are prior to the patented product, but the expert dealt with even those products and has given the opinion that they do not teach this invention. A test for obviousness was applied and it was concluded that the invention was non-obvious. In view of the reasons stated above, it was confirmed that the invention was novel and non-obvious and the revocation application was dismissed.
