Be Safe and Responsible – Or Don’t Fly a Drone

Drones are a lot of fun to fly.

But a 10-pound object falling from 100 feet can damage property or seriously injure an innocent bystander.

This page lists a slew of practical advice for new drone operators. It also provides links to the latest FAA and other government regulations that define how citizens may legally operate a drone in public airspace. Be aware that in the US, the rules are not yet clear.

Technically, you may be able to operate freely in your town without breaking any laws. But that doesn’t mean you can do anything you want.

If you’re going to operate a drone, then you must accept the responsibilities that go along with it.

Or just don’t fly one.

Know The Rules – And The Law

In the United States, the FAA & various state and local authorities currently control US skies, and the NTSB and FAA rules for drone operation and piloting are still being developed.

Nevertheless, you are responsible for understanding the current laws and rules governing local drone use.

In addition to federal guidelines, each state has its own rules.

The legal space is changing all the time, so use Google to know where you stand.

UAV Laws In the United States: FAA Regulations (Part 107)

FAA finally released their rules & guidelines for operating small commercial unmanned aircraft (drones weighing less than 55 pounds). These are detailed in FAA Regulation Part 107, which was released in June, 2016.

Here’s a quick summary of the new rules:

  • a COA/pilot’s license is no longer required (HUGE!)
  • operators must be 16 yrs or older
  • you must obtain a remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating, or be under the direct supervision of a person who holds such a certificate.
  • always avoid manned aircraft
  • never fly near airports
  • all drones must operate under 400 feet; if flying over tall buildings, they may not fly higher than 400 feet above the building
  • maximum speed allowed is 100 mph (87 knots)
  • always fly via line-of-sight (no flying behind buildings or out of your clear eye site, EVER)
  • if you use First Person View (FPV) technology, you must also have a seperate visual observer watching your aircraft with their unaided eyes at all times
  • neither you nor your visual observer can be responsible for more than one unmanned aircraft at a time
  • you may only fly during daylight hours (30 minutes before official sunrise to 30 minutes after official sunset); if flying in twilight, you must have easily visible anti-collision lighting
  • you cannot fly a small UAS over anyone who is not:
    • directly participating in the operation, or
    • under a covered structure, or
    • inside a covered stationary vehicle.
  • you can carry payloads for hire, as long as the combined weight of the drone + payload is less than 55 lbs
  • no operation from a moving vehicle are allowed, unless you are flying over a sparsely populated area.
  • starting on Dec 21, 2015, all drones over 0.55 lbs / 250 grams must be registered with the FAA
  • special UAS classes are coming for freight and smaller drones, which will each have unique regulations and rules
  • you can apply for a waiver of the restrictions above, but you will have to prove to the FAA that your operation is safe without them

For more details on Part 107, visit the FAA website.

How To Get Your FAA Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC)

You can obtain your remote pilot certificate in one of two ways:

  1. Pass a written test given at an FAA-approved testing center; or,
  2. If you already have a Part 61 pilot certificate (not a student pilot certificate), then you must have completed a flight review in the previous 24 months and take a small UAS online training course provided by the FAA.

If you have your Part 61 certificate (non-student), then you’ll get a temporary remote pilot certificate immediately when you apply for a permanent certificate.

Other applicants can get a temporary remote pilot certificate after completing a security background check. The FAA says it will take about 10 business days after receiving a completed application to issue the temporary certificate.

Check out our list of the top 50 UAV pilot training courses to learn where to get trained & certified.

Are You Working Or Playing?

The FAA and the Dept of Transportation makes a clear distinction between hobbyist and commercial drone / UAV operation.

Use this chart to find out where you fit.

Difference between hobby and work drones

If you are operating commercially, make sure you have an operator’s certificate and understand the laws in your state or you could find yourself sued into the poor house – or in jail.

Where Can You Fly?

The FAA has an online no-fly zone map that will help you know the red zones to avoid.

The 3 areas you can never fly a drone in include US Major Airports, military bases and US National Parks.

FAA No-Fly Zones for Drones and UAVs

The FAA has released their B4UFLY app on iOS and on Android. The app offers several features for drone/UAV pilots, including:

  • let you know if you are flying in a restricted zone
  • plan future flights
  • connect users with nearby airports.

Here are some screenshots:

FAA tips for responsible flying

  • Operate under 400 feet.
  • Fly under obstacles – not over them.
  • Contact any airport you’ll be flying within five miles of.
  • Don’t lose sight of your drone.
  • Don’t fly drunk or while using drugs.
  • Respect other people’s privacy.
  • Stay clear of water treatment facilities, power stations, prisons, etc.

Know Before You Fly

Know Before You Fly is an education campaign that gives unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operators guidance and information to help them fly safely and responsibly. The program covers recreational, commercial and public uses.

Know Before You Fly was founded by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), and the Small UAV Coalition in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Don’t Rely Too Much on GPS Autopilot

AR Parrot Bebop - app waypoint control
AR Parrot Bebop: Waypoint Control

GPS-directed autopilot is a God send for commercial and hobbyist drone operators, but the truth is that GNSS signals are very weak and prone to interference from all sorts of naturally occurring things like solar storms, RF noise, bad weather and tall objects.

During autopilot flight, your GPS signal WILL fail from time to time.

The question is, how will your drone deal with the signal loss?  Will it automatically return home or temporarily stop and hover? Or will it continue flying in a straight line until the battery dies, then fall?

Older GPS autopilot systems and ground stations lack sophisticated Emergency Landing, Auto Return Home and Stop and Hover modes for handling GPS signal failure. Preferably, these modes can be activated automatically under certain conditions and via a dedicated button on the controller.

If you’re buying a new drone, then get one that has these features – for everyone’s sake.

Flying Near People? Use Your Prop Guards.

I think it’s safe to say that most drone operators underestimate the damage that small plastic or carbon fiber props spinning at 10,000 RPM can do to a person.

Truth is, unguarded props running near full speed (like when you’re trying to recover) can easily slice through flesh and arteries and seriously injure.

Watch these videos if you don’t believe me.

The bigger the drone and the longer the propeller, the more damage it will do. Carbon fiber props are the worst, due to their strength. If you sharpen your prop edges, you’re adding to the problem.

So use your prop guards whenever flying near crowds or people.

Flying FPV?  You Must Use a Spotter

FPV based piloting – especially using goggles – is not like line-of-sight piloting, in several ways:

  1. you can fly too far away very easily and lose contact with your aircraft
  2. you can’t see behind yourself
  3. your peripheral vision is severely limited
  4. your depth perception is off, because you lose your binocular vision
  5. most video systems have lag in them, meaning your sense of timing is always off

This is why having a second person acting as a spotter is a must.

The FAA requires it, if you are using FPV Goggles.

Use a Black Box Flight Recorder

Flytrex Live 3G Black Box for drones

It may sound counter-intuitive, but recording your flight path is your best defense if you are accused of illegal flight activity. Add a black box flight recorder with GSM/3G transmission capability (in case your drone is confiscated).

A good choice is the Flytrex Live 3G black box module (about $200), available for most popular drones.

Flying Commercially? Register Your Drone With the FAA

On Dec 12, 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced its proposed drone or unmanned aircraft system (UAS) registration rules, including naming who will have to comply with them.

Which was everyone, at that time – hobbyists and commercial fliers.

Later, in May 2017, the FAA updated the ruling so that the following registration requirement now applies to commercial drone operation only.

  • If you own a drone that weighs more than 0.55 pounds, then the new FAA rules require you to register it with them. You’ll pay a fee of $5 for any number of drones you own.
  • If you forget to register your drone, you face a civil fine of up to $27,500 and possibly criminal penalties of up to $250,000 and imprisonment for three years.

Obviously, this registration thing is still in its infancy, and so far there’s no way for the FAA to know whether all existing drones have been registered, or not.

That said, if your unregistered drone injures someone or falls onto someone else’s property after doing a bit of illegal mischief,

You have been warned.

Get A Commercial UAV Operator’s License (US)

You may not need a full-blown UAV Operator’s license to operate your drone. But consider getting one anyway.

It isn’t that hard or expensive to get, and you’ll learn all the reasons why flying in certain areas and conditions is not only unsafe, but could kill someone. It will make you a smarter operator.

Get Drone / UAV Insurance

Contact one of the following providers:

  • American International Group  AIG offers commercial UAS insurance for remotely piloted, semi-autonomous, and fully autonomous aircraft.
  • Costello Insurance Associates  Commercial UAV/drone insurance for businesses in the US.
  • Driessen Assuradeuren  sells Lloyd’s of London policies for third party liability, physical loss and/or damage and premises, products and hanger keepers liability for commercial UAV operators.
  • Coverdrone: drone insurance in the UK.
  • Transport Risk Management, Inc.  UAV Insurance for manufacturers, military, law enforcement, film production, search and rescue, agricultural, and other aerial work uses.
  • Travers and Associates  UAV Insurance for almost any use, including use of leased or rented unmanned aircraft and systems.
  • Unmanned Risk Management  Coverage for individual UAS owner-operators for hull and liability, commercial general liability, and products liability for UAV manufacturers and distributors.

Confirmed: Asamoah Gyan is father of all his 3 children-DNA test reveals

Share this

After many months of waiting and expectation, the DNA paternity test conducted on the children of embattled Black Stars Captain, Asamoah Gyan and his wife Gifty Gyan has been concluded and the results vindicate Gifty Gyan, can authoritatively confirm. intercepted the results of the DNA test conducted on the issues of the marriage between the couple and the details show that ALL the three kids come from one father— and it is Asamoah Gyan!

According to a top official at Medilab who spoke to on strict condition of anonymity, the DNA samples taken from the Gyans- Asamoah Gyan, Gifty Gyan and the three children (Frederick Gyan, Raphael Gyan and Ohemaa Gyan) proved 100% that the all the children belong to Asamoah Gyan. was informed by the official that when Medilab Ghana took the samples from the Gyans, they sent it abroad to one of top-most reliable Diagnostic Laboratory in India where the test were conducted and the results show all the three kids were the Gyans.

The DNA test was conducted at Medilab at Ridge in Accra on January 6th this year under the strict supervision of Asamoah Gyan’s elder brother, Baffour Gyan.

Broke Asamoah and the Gyan children alimony

While it was revealed earlier that Asamoah Gyan has reportedly refused to talk to Gifty or the three children since August 2018 when he filed for annulment in court, it is not immediately clear what impact this DNA results will have on the relationship with the kids.

Asamoah Gyan who last year said he is “broke” also reportedly said he could only afford to give his wife who is resident in the UK and his three children Ghc3000 (500 pounds) every month.

Asamoah Gyan only saw his children 2 or 3 times every year, when he visited them to take pictures to post on his social media or on their birthdays which he seldom made time for.  He also visited his children and wife with a huge entourage everytime, making it impossible for the nuclear family to have quality time together which also contributed to the strain between the couple.

About DNA test

DNA paternity testing is the use of DNA profiling (known as genetic fingerprinting) to determine whether two individuals are biologically parent and child. A test establishes genetic proof whether a man is the biological father of an individual, and a maternity test establishes whether a woman is the biological mother of an individual. Tests can also determine the likelihood of someone being a biological grandparent to a grandchild. Though genetic testing is the most reliable standard, older methods also exist, including ABO blood group typing, analysis of various other proteins and enzymes, or using human leukocyte antigen antigens. The current techniques for paternity testing are using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Paternity testing can now also be performed while the woman is still pregnant from a blood draw.

UAE Diary-4

In the busy streets of Al Rigga-Dubai, a world of juice presents itself. They have the best juice in the area, fresh and tasty. The place is so busy throughout the day, whether it is a weekday or weekend.

This should be a considered as a tourist spot. The juices are extremely pulpy and juicy. You can feel the real fruits inside. I tried the Mango with ice cream.

Extremely delicious. There is usually a queue here in ordering and taking your ordered drinks. So while waiting, just go to the fruit room display section, which showcases different fruit arrangements where you could take selfies.

For the kids, they’ve got fresh fruit popsicles too! A healthier snack/ dessert option for your little ones! They also serve the best avocado shake in town and differnt varieties of fruit juices that u can chose from. OMG! This place is incredible. I loved each and every detail of this place.

Who I am today

Is not who I was yesterday

It’s not who I was ten years ago

And the person I am today

Is also not the person I will be

Ten years from now

Evolution of self is a cycle

It’s a long and constant journey of

self-examination and the decision

to either change with the world

or let the world consume you

Most would argue that they

are creatures of habit

and feel more comfort when

they know what is coming next

But you never truly know

what’s in store

Everything is changing –

even the things that you do not think are

That flower will grow, yes,

but the angle that the sun hits it

is never the same on any given day

Like the angle of the sun,

I am always in alteration

Sometimes I am more direct,

like the hot summer rays

And other times I am so cold,

you’d wonder if I even exist

Who I am today is not who I always will be

I have phases

I am still in development

Ever-changing and complicated

EOD Thoughts: 01.16.2021

It’s been awhile since I’ve been on WordPress. Not because I really needed a break, but because I’ve just been so busy and tired to sit on my phone and really put some thought into writing. I’d like to get back into more of a routine, but life is crazy and you never really know what your attention is going to be focused on.

On a positive note, I did end up deleting some social media apps – so that usually results in less of my time being wasted scrolling mindlessly through feeds full of politics and division. I was so tired of getting on Twitter and reading through tweet after tweet about the coronavirus and politics. It’s exhausting seeing everyone arguing and pushing conspiracies about every little thing.

Then I’d get on Instagram and scroll through pictures of models with “perfect” skin, hair, bodies, lives… I’d fall obsessed with everything I wasn’t. I’m bad at comparing myself to social media influencers. It makes my confidence plummet even if I do tell myself that social media stars get paid to portray a perfect life for their followers. Social media is truly detrimental to society.

A few months ago I watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix. It really goes into depth about how the creators of social media design their apps to hook you and bring you back. I highly recommend watching it – it’ll give you a better understanding of how they gather your information and use it to modify the app to better interest you. Social media apps literally keep track of how long you look at certain ads so that they can use more ads related to the ones they know you didn’t just scroll past. This documentary will make you question your internet usage and possibly even encourage you to delete your social media apps.

Tonight’s Reflection Quotes (From The Social Dilemma):

I’m not always the best mom

I’m not always the best mom

Sometimes I raise my voice

Sometimes I just want to be left alone

Sometimes at 3am I mutter that I’m tired of being a mom

Sometimes I don’t pay enough attention

Sometimes I would rather go to a restaurant and not have to deal with a child that can’t still quiet and still for an hour

Sometimes I just want to sleep in

Sometimes I feel like there are others doing far better than me

But I’m trying

I’m human

I thank God every night that I’ve got a healthy, beautiful child that lights up my life

But it’s not always easy

Sometimes I’m easy to get hot headed

And sometimes I say things I don’t mean

But I hope she knows that she is absolutely the best thing about my life

I’m learning and I’m growing

I’m not always the best, but I do try my hardest to help you learn how to navigate this world that is full of emotion, heartbreak, lessons to be learned, and constant change

I Made It

I was promoted from a part-time gig where I worked 26 hours a week to a full-time position with benefits, PTO, quarterly bonuses, and a $3.50 pay raise. This job is usually open to those with a Bachelors degree, but I went for it anyway and ended up getting it.

I’ve been thinking about my career often here lately. I caught myself thinking about work on my drive home from a restaurant tonight. Thinking about work doesn’t sound so strange as it does to think about work in such a positive way. I’m currently in the pricing department of America’s largest food RE distributor, Dot Foods.

This job is different than any other job I’ve ever had. We focus a lot on goals in both a professional and personal sense. We put statistics and actual percentages to these goals which has always intrigued me. I think what most excites me is that I feel like I’m finally doing a “smart person” job. Although I’m still three semesters away from a Bachelor’s degree, I feel like I could really make a career for myself within the company. I often get praised for my work, and from my understanding, I’ve got the best performance when it comes to request turnaround and accuracy.

I don’t know, maybe I sound braggy, but for once I finally feel like I’m appreciated in the workplace. I finally feel like I’m doing a job that aligns with the intelligence that I feel I contain. I’m finally in a role that pushes me, makes me use my brain, and encourages me to be better not only in a capitalistic sense, but also in a way that betters my family, my friends, and my colleagues.

I finally feel like things are coming together and I can’t explain how special that feels after so many hours I’ve spent wondering when/if I was going to make it.

My takeaway: Never give up pursuing your dreams, and when you feel like you’ve finally made it, readjust those goals and set them HIGHER.

I’m happy now, but I’m not going to be complacent. No one changes the world in one day, right?

A Friendly Reminder

Here’s a little reminder to end your week on:

You are fucking awesome.

There is no one else out there like you. Your thoughts, movements, attitude, passions, and interests are exclusive to only you.

Everyone might not love you, but the right people do. Do not overlook those that struggle to express it to you. Sometimes showing compassion is harder than expected.

Never stop searching for your individual purpose. Life changes constantly, so it’s okay if you change along with it.

Loneliness does not last forever.

Use your desire as fuel to accomplish your goals.

Be kind to everyone.

Beauty is more than a skinny waist or perfect hair.

You have survived 100% of your worst days.

I’m at drill soakin up the rest of my weekend. I know I haven’t kept up-to-date on here, but I always want to do better! Stay safe out there friends! Always feel free to drop me some love 👇🏻💋💞

The Power of 1 Year

One year passes fast.

One year with a child? Way faster.

We never know what to expect when we start the journey of motherhood. For me, it felt like I’d never be ready to take on the responsibility of caring for another life besides my own.

The unknown is scary, but to me, the fear of failing was much greater.

I had nieces and nephews and had seen the graceful care that my sisters had given their children. I knew that changing diapers would get old really quick and I knew that formula was expensive. I knew that skin to skin contact was helpful in comforting a newborn and I knew that being a mom would be really hard, but rewarding nonetheless.

But I still didn’t know if I would be cut out for the job.

I’ve always struggled when it comes to showing others the softer, more gentle side of my personality. I’m sarcastic and rough around the edges. I grew up with a lot of anger and resentment towards my own mother that I wondered if I could ever be the mother that I wished I would have had when I was young. I teeter tottered with anxiety and fear the entire nine months that I was pregnant.

But now I have made it ONE ENTIRE YEAR as a mom, and there is just something about that milestone that pushed me to write this post.

One year ago I was sitting in a hospital with a six inch incision in my abdomen, holding a life that I had just brought into this big, scary world. My pain meds had me in and out of consciousness, but I was trying my best to stay awake to stare at this precious child that was just inside of my body just a few short hours prior.

I looked at her cheeks and grasped her little fingers and wondered why I ever worried about becoming a mom in the first place.

We were in the hospital for five days, and then we took our little Della Rae home.

I sit here now thinking about the person I was one year ago compared to the person that I am now.

Strength and confidence now fill the spaces that were once laden with fear, anxiety, and uncertainty.

Others will swear by your beauty, but until you see your smile resembled from the lips of your child, you may never believe that you were ever beautiful at all. I promise you, it was always there. And your child will convince you of it every day.

I now know that my heart knows no bounds. Every time I look at her I feel as if there is no possible way I could love her any more than I do in that moment, and then the next day comes and I’m surprising myself with even more love and joy in my heart that I am afraid it may just explode right out of my chest.

I went to work two months after I had her. I’ve learned a different meaning of working for everything you want. I’m a provider. I’m a learner.

And I’m still just trying to find the right balance.

Motherhood is hard, but in ONE YEAR I’ve become a woman that FEELS powerful, strong, and worthy. I FEEL proud, gentle, and fierce when needed. I feel an immense amount of love, support, and gratitude.

The power that one year can have is something you won’t understand until the year has passed and all you have are the memories of who your baby once was.

Gallstones SUCK!

I had surgery to get my gallbladder taken out yesterday!

I’ve been dealing with terrible stomach pain off and on for the last few months. I went to the ER a few months back and they told me that there was “a 70% chance that it’s your gallbladder, but it’s up to you if you wanna see if taking it out works.” So I was like ummm no, I don’t want a surgery if you aren’t sure that it’s going to help…

The worst night I ever experienced with these “stomach pains” I went to the kitchen and sat on the floor screaming onto a towel so that I wouldn’t wake my sleeping eight month-old baby. I’m tellin ya, that pain was worse than my c-section recovery!

As it turns out, gallstones SUCK! I was in the ER from 11am yesterday to about 11:45am today. When I went into surgery yesterday it was exactly 17:00 (5pm). When I got out of surgery, it was 18:15 (6:15pm). I’m finally home and really sore!

How has everyone else’s week been? (I feel like I was in another world the past two days!)

Finding Myself

I start therapy on Friday. I’m very excited, actually. I feel like the stigma against mental health is kind of diminishing and more and more people are trying their hand at therapy. In all reality, everyone just wants to feel better. I’ve always wanted to talk to someone about all of the feelings I have, but I’ve never been so lost that I felt that there was no other option.

That is how I feel now.

I am on an unexpected, anxiety-ridden rollercoaster of emotions right now. I have hit rock bottom and I scheduled the appointment without even hesitating. I need this.

Yes, I am a daughter and a friend and a mother and a partner… but who am I when it’s not based upon a relationship with someone else?

Who am I?

I want to strip down and view myself in a completely vulnerable and open way. I want to look at why I do the things that I do. I want to find the meaning of all the pent-up emotions that never address. Why haven’t I addressed them? Am I a complete narcissist and have no clue? What can I do to make sure that I am focusing some of my energy on ME? What in my life has happened that has changed the way I form relationships with others? What can I do to improve the way I carry myself around those that love me?

There is so much that I want answers on.

So much to discover.

So much to solve.

I am so ready.

A Letter to A Soon-To-Be Mom

Today I write in honor of a beautiful friend of mine that will welcome her first baby into the world in just three short days. I remember how short the days felt leading up to my induction date. Ever since I was a child, my biggest fear was always childbirth. It sounds almost silly now that I have experienced childbirth, but before you experience it yourself, there is no amount of comfort or ease anyone can offer. I do not write this to promise any sense of comfort, because I know it is a scary road that lies before you. I felt the same way and there was no amount of advice any mother could offer that made me feel any more assured.

So instead, I want to write about the amazing, incredible things that you will learn about who you are as a result of creating a life and welcoming it to the world.

Becoming a mother will bring out strength you didn’t even know you had.  There will be days that make you feel defeated, tired, stressed. But there is no day that will ever be stronger than you. Even when you think you’ve reached your limit, your motherly instincts and passion will overcome any obstacle. Every. Single. Time. You are far stronger than you think, even though you may not feel like it.

You were never truly complete until you met your child. You will look back on the days before you became a mom and think, ‘How did I ever feel scared to be a mom? This is exactly who I am supposed to be.’ Your confidence will go up, even though you may feel like you have no clue what you are doing. You will finally feel like all is right in the world and all the extra bullshit just doesn’t matter anymore.

The human body is incredible! Yeah, we may not always love what we see in the mirror, but the one thing that I have tried to embrace is just how amazing the human body is. One single egg grew into a human life and grew for nine months inside of you. Your organs rearranged themselves to make room for that beautiful baby. Your body stretched, squeezed, and grew. And it will continue to change in the coming months. Watch and enjoy it – You are spectating science from the front row. Try to embrace all the things that your body can do!!

I am not going to tell you it will be easy. It won’t be. You will be tested… But you will not fail. You will be tired… But you will not consider quitting. You will have doubts… But you will be very sure in what needs to be done.

I remember the first time you walked into our house. A timid, beautiful high school girl with curly brown hair that laid on your shoulders. You walked with shoulders forward because I wasn’t very nice when we first met. But I grew to know you and realized I was wrong about the high school girl that was coming to my house. You were so full of knowledge, wonder, and confidence. You were not shy about what you expected out of those around you. You had a laugh that would everyone in the room smile. I never would have guessed that I would one day consider you my best friend, let alone be so excited to meet the life that you would one day create. I am so proud to call you my friend and so excited to see you become a mother. I know you are scared and I know you have been overwhelmed, but I have no doubt in my mind that you will be everything and more for our little Indie girl. After all, you will have all the love, support, and advice spewing from my heart.

I cannot wait to meet this beautiful babe and I cannot wait to hear you rave about the joys of motherhood.

LAB165 The Surpassing Wonder of the Truth of Election

Share / Groups / About Author
Refer: Principle for Bible Reading Cross-referencing Most Study Bibles have cross-references which point us to other texts that connect to the current text of study. Whether pointing to texts that connect thematically or grammatically, cross-referencing enhances our study when we take the time to look the verses up. Study Questions What does unconditional election mean? Some say that God predestines us based on his knowledge that we would choose him. How does Acts 13:48 contradict this? Often, we can articulate a certain doctrine and argue for it but fail to be spiritually nourished by the truth of it. Spend some time thinking about how the doctrine of unconditional election can be sweet to our souls Principle for Bible Reading Turn Bible Study into Prayer We all need to be reminded from time to time that the Bible is not a text to be merely dissected, analyzed, and mined for new insights. God dissects us through his Word: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” ( Hebrews 4:12 ). Therefore, our Bible study must be inseparable from prayer. Our engagement with a text is not complete when we understand the passage. Pray God’s Word. Pray prayers inspired by God’s Word. Pray that God would change you by his Word. Study Questions Is God’s choice of his people based upon his knowledge that they would choose him first? What Scriptures confirm your answer? Does God appointing his people cause them to believe or does their belief cause them to be appointed in Acts 13:46–48 ? Does God’s election mean that we shouldn’t share the gospel with everyone? Read Acts 13:38–39 and watch the lab. Do you agree with Pastor John’s answer?
Acts 13:46-48
Immediate Context
Wider Cross Reference Context
Acts 13:46-47 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.
Acts 13:38-39 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.
For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, “‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
John 10:26-27 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord,
2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
2 Timothy 2:24-26 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
Main Text
and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
Observations and thoughts:
1. Unconditional election means that God chooses us not because of anything in us but because of His own choice.
2. Acts 13:48 contradicts those who say we choose God first before God chooses us because only those who were first appointed or chosen to eternal life believed. This can be seen by how the actions by God (marked in red text and beige highlight) occurs first before the actions by people (blue text and highlight).
3. We know that the above two ideas are faithful to the Bible because of other passages as seen in the section above under "Wider Cross Reference Context."
4. God's choice, calling, election, appointing is what enables us to believe in Him.
5. This does not mean we do not share the gospel with everyone because we do not know who God has chosen. It is God who wants us to share the gospel with all. It is not for us to determine who to share with beforehand.
6. The doctrine of election is so wonderful to me because it frees me from carrying a burden of getting people to be saved. It also encourages me to trust God and out of that trust to freely share the gospel and depend upon Him to do so as well as He and I work together to do so.

 Luke 21:33 Commentaries: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Jump to: AlfordBarnesBengelBensonBICalvinCambridgeClarkeDarbyEllicottExpositor'sExp DctExp GrkGaebeleinGSBGillGrayGuzikHaydockHastingsHomileticsICCJFBKellyKJTLangeMacLarenMHCMHCWMeyerParkerPNTPoolePulpitSermonSCOTTBVWSWESTSK
21:29-38 Christ tells his disciples to observe the signs of the times, which they might judge by. He charges them to look upon the ruin of the Jewish nation as near. Yet this race and family of Abraham shall not be rooted out; it shall survive as a nation, and be found as prophesied, when the Son of man shall be revealed. He cautions them against being secure and sensual. This command is given to all Christ's disciples, Take heed to yourselves, that ye be not overpowered by temptations, nor betrayed by your own corruptions. We cannot be safe, if we are carnally secure. Our danger is, lest the day of death and of judgment should come upon us when we are not prepared. Lest, when we are called to meet our Lord, that be the furthest from our thoughts, which ought to be nearest our hearts. For so it will come upon the most of men, who dwell upon the earth, and mind earthly things only, and have no converse with heaven. It will be a terror and a destruction to them. Here see what should be our aim, that we may be accounted worthy to escape all those things; that when the judgements of God are abroad, we may not be in the common calamity, or it may not be that to us which it is to others. Do you ask how you may be found worthy to stand before Christ at that day? Those who never yet sought Christ, let them now go unto him; those who never yet were humbled for their sins, let them now begin; those who have already begun, let them go forward and be kept humbled. Watch therefore, and pray always. Watch against sin; watch in every duty, and make the most of every opportunity to do good. Pray always: those shall be accounted worthy to live a life of praise in the other world, who live a life of prayer in this world. May we begin, employ, and conclude each day attending to Christ's word, obeying his precepts, and following his example, that whenever he comes we may be found watching.Your redemption draweth nigh - See the notes at Matthew 24:33. This is expressed in Luke 21:31 thus: "the kingdom of God is nigh at hand" - that is, from that time God will signally build up his kingdom. It shall be fully established when the Jewish policy shall come to an end; when the temple shall be destroyed, and the Jews scattered abroad. Then the power of the Jews shall be at an end; they shall no longer be able to persecute you, and you shall be completely delivered from all these trials and calamities in Judea.32. This generation—not "this nation," as some interpret it, which, though admissible in itself, seems very unnatural here. It is rather as in Lu 9:27.Ver. 33. See Poole on "Luke 21:29"

Verily I say unto you, this generation,.... See Gill on Matthew 24:34. See Gill on Matthew 24:35. All the Oriental versions read here as there, "all these things"; before related. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
33. Heaven and earth shall pass away] 2 Peter 3:7; Isaiah 51:6; Psalm 102:26.

but my words shall not pass away] Rather, my sayings, my utterances. Isaiah 40:8.

Verse 33. - Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. A general conclusion to the whole prophecy. "No word of mine," said the Master, "will ever pass away unfulfilled. Some of you will even live to see the terrible fulfillment of the first part of these utterances. All that mighty pile of buildings called Jerusalem will pass away, but my words which told of their coming ruin will remain. All this vast creation, earth, and stars will disappear in their turn, but these sayings of mine, which predict their future passing away into nothingness, will outlive both earth and heaven."

Stay Safe While Biking in This Summer Heat!

May 22, 2018 11:54 pm Published by Leave your thoughts

During the summer months, you’re likely going to want to put some miles on your bike. After all, warm, dry weather is perfect for riding! But the fact is that summer can also be a dangerous time to ride. There are risks to your health you need to plan for. Safe biking in Boca Raton, FL is possible with some planning ahead of time. Here are some ways to beat the heat while still enjoying your bike this summer:

  • Drink water: On hot days, you’re going to sweat a lot, so you need to replace those fluids. Make sure you bring an adequate water supply and drink plenty of it so that you avoid heatstroke and dehydration. A good rule of thumb is to take about a liter of water for every mile you plan to bike. The last thing you want is to get out there and realize you don’t have enough water.
  • Apply sunscreen: Just like your mother always told you, putting on sunscreen before you go out on a hot, sunny day is important. If you don’t put on sunscreen, not only will you get a sunburn, but you’ll put yourself at greater risk for skin diseases and cancers like melanoma. When you’re riding for an extended period of time and sweating, you’ll want to reapply frequently. Bring along a high-SPF sunscreen and use it often.
  • Don’t push yourself too hard: Trying to set a personal record on a hot and sunny day might not be the best strategy. Take it easy while going up hills, and take more frequent breaks in the shade than you usually do. Save those tougher rides for when the weather cools down a bit.
  • Dress appropriately: You’ll want to wear lightweight, breathable clothing that provides good ventilation to keep you cooler. Clothes with sweat-wicking qualities will also keep you drier. You’ll also want to bring sunglasses. The sun’s UV rays are liable to damage your eyes unless you have adequate protection.
  • Wear insect repellant: Everyone knows that summer is the worst for mosquitoes. Apply insect repellant to your legs and arms before you take off to ensure you don’t return covered in nasty bites.
  • Go at the right time of day: The middle of the day is probably the worst time you could go out for a ride, as this is when it’s hottest. Instead, try going for an early morning ride while it’s still cool. An evening ride is also a smart choice.

title:Credit Card Rewards: In Close Scrutiny author:Morgan Hamilton source_url:http://www.articlecity.com/articles/business_and_finance/article_6740.shtml date_saved:2007-07-25 12:30:08 category:business_and_finance article:

It is not everyday that people get something for free. That is why whenever there are some freebies or rewards, the common tendency is to grab the opportunity.
This is particularly regular in the credit card industry. In fact, it is for this reason why most credit card companies offer different credit card rewards. They know that people will be enticed to sign up for a credit card not just because they need it but also because they want the rewards.
Credit card rewards are already accepted by the public as part of the credit cards. It is, basically, the greatest marketing tool of every credit card company in order to entice people to sign up.
With a growing fierce competition among the card businesses, offering some rewards is the only way to persuade a consumer to use a particular credit card instead of the other one.
In turn, there are many rewards as there are many credit cards in the market today that people do not even realize that many of them are not actually necessary.
Hence, it is important to analyze first the rewards being offered by the card company before signing up. The problem with most people is that just because a particular credit card offers many rewards they tend to get one even if they had enough.
No wonder why the average American household had been reported to have 7 to 10 credit cards in a 2002 survey.
Indeed, nobody can ever question the proliferation of rewards in the credit card industry. It is the credit card company?s way of getting a sale, so it should be left that way.
What should be done is for the consumers to know and analyze the kind of rewards they really need. Here is a list of some rewards that people should learn to evaluate if they really need them on their credit cards.
1. Cash back rewards
Many credit card companies offer cash back rewards. These companies insist that they can give their costumers free cash just by using their credit cards every time the customers purchase something.
It sounds like a good idea, but one should bear in mind that most credit card companies could only give ?1% cash back.?
In addition, not all purchases have cash backs. In reality, the company will only give cash back to some particular transactions, not all.
What is even worse, some companies give the rewards annually, usually within the date the card has been activated. That would mean a long time to wait for incentives.
2. Freebies
Most credit card companies will offer freebies to their customers. These freebies are usually redeemed once the user was able to accumulate the necessary points. These points are accrued every time the consumers use their credit card for purchases.
After building up some points, the consumers can exchange these for some free items. These things can be pretty useful especially if a person has some need for the item he or she had received.
However, people should keep in mind that freebies and reward points may vary from company to the other. Hence, it is important to evaluate this kind of reward as well.
3. Airline Miles
Some credit card companies offer ?airline miles? every time the credit card holder makes a purchase. Accumulated airline miles can be exchanged for some airline tickets.
This kind of reward can be very useful especially if the credit card holder travels a lot. Otherwise, it would not do anything much as a reward.
These are just a few of the many rewards that credit cards offer. All of them can be very beneficial; there is no doubt about it. The only drawback is when the customer has no use for it.
Therefore, it can be concluded that credit card rewards are only true to those who can benefit from it. Otherwise, rewards are not rewards but plain marketing strategy on the run.

discovering eBay

Having seen no real action on my auction blog, I've decided to bite the bullet and shunt my wares over to eBay. eBay doesn't do anything for free; there are initial setup fees related to buyer and seller protection, synching your PayPal and eBay accounts, etc. There are also fees to display extra photos of your items (depending on the item), as well as a fee (amounting to a percentage of the final bid) when your item is sold. Revising your entry for an item can also cost you, as can the addition of doodads like the "Buy It Now" button. Through a long series of nibbles and bites, eBay takes chunks off your profit and pockets them. This is what prompted me to start my own auction blog to begin with. But eBay is well-known; I'm not. I got one bid on an expensive item, and then no followup. Lame, but not surprising.

So check out my little spot on eBay. I'll be uploading a little of this and a little of that for the foreseeable future; if you see something you like, you can bid for it or even click "Buy It Now" to seize the item for a somewhat higher price instead of just bidding. Sort of like leaping for the brass ring. Then after you've received the item and are cradling it in your arms as if it were a newborn, you can ask yourself whether you paid too much for it. Heh.

(I'll never be a good salesman. Not with my attitude.)

open a free flickr account and you dont have to pay AT ALL for pictures. your first photo is free through ebay. then you provide imgs to your flickr pictures and include them in the body of the item description. as many as you want. if you dont know how to do this, let me know and i can provide you with clear, easy steps by email. knowing a small amt of html will help but i can still show you how even if you know none.

Great advice-- thanks. I have a Flickr account, which isn't very active because I keep forgetting about it, and I've also got a Picasa account, which I use quite often; will Picasa do? Is it just a matter of having a URL with a photo at the end of it? If so, I imagine I can use the [img src=] tag to slap photos inside the main text window.

hahnak said...

yes, tis the usual img tag:

img src="http://......."

seems like you know what to do. just go for it!
