Live. Love. Thrive.

We were never intended to live our lives apart from God. In fact, it’s impossible to try to live the Christian life apart from Him. God has not called us into a relationship with Himself, only to leave us alone to find our way through the maze of life. Prior to His departure, Jesus promised a Counselor who would guide us into truth and act as our guide and companion. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, not only empowers us to become like Jesus, but he also fills us with a supernatural ability to do great things for God.

In West Texas there is a famous oil field known as the Yates Pool. During the Depression, this field was a sheep ranch, owned by a man named Yates. Not able to make enough money on his ranching operation, Mr. Yates was in danger of losing his ranch. With little money for clothes or food, his family, like many others, had to live on government subsidy.

Then one day, a seismographic crew came into the area and told Mr. Yates that they thought that there might be oil on his land. They asked permission to drill a wildcat well, and he signed a lease contract. At 1,115 feet the well struck a huge oil reserve. The first well came in at 80,000 barrels a day. 50 years later, a government test showed that one of the wells still had the potential to produce 125,000 barrels of oil a day.

And to think Mr. Yates owned it all! The day he purchased the land, he received the oil and mineral rights. Yet, he was living on government subsidy. A multi-millionaire, living in poverty! The problem? He did not know the oil was there. He owned it all, but did not possess any of it.

I know of no better illustration of the Holy Spirit than this. As Christians, the moment we receive Christ, we are indwelt (I Corinthians 3:16) and sealed (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30) with the Holy Spirit, and as such we have direct access to God’s unlimited power source for strength and victory. But, like Mr. Yates, most Christians continue to live in self-imposed spiritual poverty, because they do not know how to appropriate the power of the Holy Spirit, which is already theirs in Christ.

Such was the experience of Peter, who apart from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, denied Christ three times, but who later under the power of the Spirit, proclaimed Christ boldly. Of course, we know that the Spirit had not yet been given when Peter denied Christ, but clearly Peter’s story shows us the difference the person and work the Holy Spirit can make in our lives. Not many sermons or talks are devoted to the work of the Spirit, but it’s important to understand the Spirit’s work in our lives, so we can experience the promise Jesus made to his followers in Acts 1:8 when we said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

In looking at the biblical data concerning the person and work of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit’s roles are numerous. He assures us of our salvation (Romans 8:16); He baptizes us (Acts 1:4,5; 1 Corinthians 12:13); He convicts the world in regards to sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8); He directs us (John 16:13); He empowers us (Acts 1:8); He fills us (Ephesians 5:18); He guarantees our inheritance (Ephesians 1:14); He helps us (John 14:16,17); He indwells us (I Corinthians 3:16); He regenerates us (John 3:5); He seals us (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30); and He teaches us (John 14:26). The regenerating, indwelling, baptism and sealing by the Holy Spirit take place at the moment of salvation. However, the assuring, directing, filling and teaching aspects are ongoing ministries of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life.

Because the Holy Spirit is the source of the overflowing life (John 7:37-39), we must live in dependence upon Him, walking moment by moment in His strength and not our own. This is why Paul, in Ephesians 5:18, exhorts us to “be filled with the Spirit.” To be filled with the Spirit, means to be controlled and empowered by the Spirit, and the imperative is in the continuous progressive tense, suggesting that one must “continually be being filled.” By appropriating the fullness of the Spirit by faith, one is not only empowered to be Christ’s witness, but also empowered to live life to its fullest (John 10:10).

So, how do you know if you are walking according the Spirit? Check the fruit! As it says in Galatians 5:19-23, The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” If you want your life to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit, the solution is simple, walk according to the Spirit. As Romans 8:5 tells us, Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit, have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.”

If you have been living in spiritual defeat, wondering if there is any validity to the Christian life, there is hope for you! The same power that was available to Christ is also available to you in the person of the Holy Spirit! And Jesus’ promise to us is this, “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” (John 14:12).

Remember, if you are in Christ, you do not have to ask the Holy Spirit to come into your life, because He is already indwelling you. But to be filled, directed and empowered by the Holy Spirit, you simply yield to Him and ask for His fullness and power. It’s the difference of a glass of milk with a bunch of chocolate sitting at the bottom of the glass, and a glass of milk with the chocolate stirred up, so that it looks and tastes like chocolate milk. Both glasses have the same amount of chocolate in them, but one looks no different than a regular glass of milk, while the other is taking on the characteristics of its indwelling force. In the same way, as Christians, we need to allow God to stir us up (fill us), so that others see Christ in us, the hope of glory.

So here’s the point. When we live in the power of the Holy Spirit, the evidence of the Spirit’s work is supernatural. The church can’t help but be different. And the world can’t help but notice.

The Power of Praise

worshipWhen I was on the Northstar Project with Cru during the summers of ’85 & ’86, I learned a children’s worship song, that we were encouraged to sing when times got tough during our missionary efforts in the former Soviet Union. The lyrics were so simple, but every time I sang them, I sensed the enemy flee. The song, It’s Amazing What Praising Can Do, simply went like this:

It’s amazing what praising can do,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
It’s amazing what praising can do,
I don’t worry when things go wrong,
Jesus fills my heart with a song.
It’s amazing what praising can do,

In Psalm 89:15 , the psalmist declares, “Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim You, who walk in the light of Your presence, O Lord.” In this passage, we discover that there is power in praise. And my experience tells me this is true for when I have personally made the decision to fix my eyes on God, and give Him praise, no matter what’s staring me in the face, I begin to experience the release of those struggles over me.

I have been thinking about the power of praise today, and in looking at the Scriptures, here are some reasons I have found to praise God…

Praising God produces a revived and rejoicing heart when we are downcast and discouraged.

Notice that praising God is a choice we make and how praising God lifts our souls in Psalm 63:1-4, “O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and Your glory. Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise You.”

Praising God raises an awareness of how we have fallen short, and leads us to confess, repent, and appropriate His forgiveness.

In Isaiah 6:1-5 we read that, “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above Him were seraphs, each with six wings: with two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.” At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

Praising generates triumphant faith.

One of the most striking illustrations of this is found in 2 Chronicles 20. King Jehoshaphat and Judea are about to be attacked by their enemies. Jehoshaphat calls the people to prayer and fasting to seek the Lord regarding how they should respond. The Lord tells them not to worry because the battle isn’t theirs but His. He gives them the battle plan and assures them of His presence and deliverance. Jehoshaphat then does something incredible: he appoints a choir to go ahead of the army, singing and praising the Lord for His holiness. Jehoshaphat demonstrated great faith in God’s plan by appointing a choir to lead His army into battle. In an awesome demonstration of great faith, they marched off singing, praising, and thanking the Lord for His enduring love. And here is what happened as a result: As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated (2 Chronicles 20:22).

Praise invites His presence.

God dwells close to us when we praise Him. He lives there. He looks for it.  As it says in Psalm 22:3, God “inhabits the praises of His people.”

As Christ followers we have a choice every day…To live in the worry and stress of our self-absorbed, fast track world. Or, we can ask God to help us take our eyes off all that may be swirling around us and to look up to Him, the One who holds it all together! And as the classic hymn goes, when we do, we will see that “the things of Earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”

God longs for us to know the power of His presence. He desires to bless us more than we could imagine. His Spirit urges us onward, calling us closer. And in response to His invitation, may we open our mouths and sing, for its amazing what praising can do!

Proud vs Broken People

3426007862_22eed8bdaeWhat kind of blessings does brokenness bring? Well, from the Scriptures we see that God draws near to the broken (Psalm 34:18). He lifts up those who are humbled (Psalm 147:6). We’re told that God stiff-arms the proud. He resists them (James 4:6). He keeps them at a distance, but He comes close to, even as the father of that prodigal son drew that repentant, broken son to his chest and embraced him, we find that our Heavenly Father draws near to the heart of those who are broken.

And while God draws near to broken, brokenness also brings an increased capacity for love and worship. Like the woman in Luke 7, she was able to love much because she had been forgiven much. I see in that woman an abandon in her relationship with Jesus that ought to inspire us.

In my previous post I referenced a talk from the National Staff Training of Cru back in 1995. It’s a powerful message that God is using in my own life again, some twenty years later, as I ask Him to search my heart and understand the message of Jesus in the Beatitudes when he says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3).

I invite you to have a listen and consider what God might be saying to you. For I believe that genuine brokenness leads to repentance. And genuine repentance leads to forgiveness. And forgiveness will produce a life of freedom from the bondage of sin.

Cultivating True Humility

IMG_5420In 1995, God used a message from Nancy Leigh DeMoss to bring about a spirit of true repentance at the National Staff Training of Campus Crusade for Christ, now called Cru. I had just left the staff of Cru two years earlier, but my friends were calling me to share that God was doing a mighty work at the training in Colorado and I couldn’t wait to listen to the message as it was made available to alumni. It challenged me 20 years ago, and today, I was reminded of this message and spent this evening listening to it again, as I asked God to search my heart and break my heart for the things that break His.

In the message, Nancy talks about the characteristics of pride, which are rooted in arrogance and insecurity versus true humility, which is rooted in authentic brokenness. In the message, she challenges the church to be broken before the Lord, for God wants to unleash his power through broken people.

Here are the differences she shares between proud and broken people. In reading these characteristics, let’s confess those characteristics of pride that God reveals in us and let’s ask Him to restore the corresponding quality of a broken, humble spirit within us.

Proud people focus on the failures of others.
Broken people are overwhelmed with a sense of their own spiritual need.

Proud people have a critical, fault-finding spirit; they look at everyone else’s faults with a microscope but their own with a telescope.
Broken people are compassionate; they can forgive much because they know how much they have been forgiven.

Proud people are self-righteous; they look down on others.
Broken people esteem all others better than themselves.

Proud people have an independent, self-sufficient spirit.
Broken people have a dependent spirit; they recognize their need for others.

Proud people have to prove that they are right.
Broken people are willing to yield the right to be right.

Proud people claim rights; they have a demanding spirit.
Broken people yield their rights; they have a meek spirit.

Proud people are self-protective of their time, their rights, and their reputation.
Broken people are self-denying.

Proud people desire to be served.
Broken people are motivated to serve others.

Proud people desire to be a success.
Broken people are motivated to be faithful and to make others a success.

Proud people desire self-advancement.
Broken people desire to promote others.

Proud people have a drive to be recognized and appreciated.
Broken people have a sense of their own unworthiness; they are thrilled that God would use them at all.

Proud people are wounded when others are promoted and they are overlooked.
Broken people are eager for others to get the credit; they rejoice when others are lifted up.

Proud people have a subconscious feeling, “This ministry/church is privileged to have me and my gifts”; they think of what they can do for God.
Broken people’s heart attitude is, “I don’t deserve to have a part in any ministry”; they know that they have nothing to offer God except the life of Jesus flowing through their broken lives.

Proud people feel confident in how much they know.
Broken people are humbled by how very much they have to learn.

Proud people are self-conscious.
Broken people are not concerned with self at all.

Proud people keep others at arms’ length.
Broken people are willing to risk getting close to others and to take risks of loving intimately.

Proud people are quick to blame others.
Broken people accept personal responsibility and can see where they are wrong in a situation.

Proud people are unapproachable or defensive when criticized.
Broken people receive criticism with a humble, open spirit.

Proud people are concerned with being respectable, with what others think; they work to protect their own image and reputation.
Broken people are concerned with being real; what matters to them is not what others think but what God knows; they are willing to die to their own reputation.

Proud people find it difficult to share their spiritual need with others.
Broken people are willing to be open and transparent with others as God directs.

Proud people want to be sure that no one finds out when they have sinned; their instinct is to cover up.
Broken people, once broken, don’t care who knows or who finds out; they are willing to be exposed because they have nothing to lose.

Proud people have a hard time saying, “I was wrong; will you please forgive me?”
Broken people are quick to admit failure and to seek forgiveness when necessary.

Proud people tend to deal in generalities when confessing sin.
Broken people are able to acknowledge specifics when confessing their sin.

Proud people are concerned about the consequences of their sin.
Broken people are grieved over the cause, the root of their sin.

Proud people are remorseful over their sin, sorry that they got found out or caught.
Broken people are truly, genuinely repentant over their sin, evidenced in the fact that they forsake that sin.

Proud people wait for the other to come and ask forgiveness when there is a misunderstanding or conflict in a relationship.
Broken people take the initiative to be reconciled when there is misunderstanding or conflict in relationships; they race to the cross; they see if they can get there first, no matter how wrong the other may have been.

Proud people compare themselves with others and feel worthy of honor.
Broken people compare themselves to the holiness of God and feel a desperate need for His mercy.

Proud people are blind to their true heart condition.
Broken people walk in the light.

Proud people don’t think they have anything to repent of.
Broken people realize they have need of a continual heart attitude of repentance.

Proud people don’t think they need revival, but they are sure that everyone else does.
Broken people continually sense their need for a fresh encounter with God and for a fresh filling of His Holy Spirit.

ABC’s of Prayer

177624_originalI don’t think we often realize what a privilege it is to have instant, direct access to God. God loves us so much, that He has made Himself available to us 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And yet, I have to confess, prayer is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines for me to practice.

In Acts 4, we read how the Christians prayed together with one heart, mind and spirit as they lifted their voices to God (Acts 4:24). The result was a great boldness in sharing God’s message. In the same way, a great force of God’s power can be released as we commit ourselves to effective prayer. But in order to be effective in our prayers, we need to understand what God’s Word has to say about prayer. As we read and study the Scripture, we can learn what the will of God is and as we know His will, we can pray and ask according to His divine purpose. With this in mind here are a few things I have learned about how to pray effectively over the years from the Scriptures.

In order to pray effectively, we need to pray…

Abiding is the key to successful praying. In John 15:7, Jesus states, “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will and it shall be done for you.”

In Matthew 21:22 we read, “Everything you ask in prayer, believing you shall receive.” Faith, which is an attitude of believing, pleases God.

Clean Heart

John declares in 1 John 1:9 that, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Confession restores communion with God and is a preparation for further fellowship with Him.

Directed by God’s Word

I love what 1 John 5:14-15 tells us, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” If you want to pray with confidence for God’s will, pray the Scriptures!

Empowered by the Holy Spirit

The Bible says, “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans” (Romans 8:26). I like that about the Holy Spirit. He goes where I cannot. He comprehends things I cannot. He does things I cannot. But when it comes to the things I need to do, He equips me to do them.

Forgiving Others

Mark 11:25 states, “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Holding a grudge is not good for the soul. And an unforgiving attitude hinders our prayers. So talk to God about it. Ask Him to give you the strength to forgive others, so you can let go and move on.

Godly Motives

Pray with the right motivation. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” (James 4:3). Selfish motives cannot be blessed by God.

Pray with a humble and submissive spirit. As it states in 1 Peter 5:6, Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.” Our hearts often connect with God’s heart in a God-honoring way as we develop and approach Him with humility.

Interceding for Others

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people” (Ephesians 6:18). When you pray on another’s behalf, you experience the blessing and grace of God, as you reflect His character, conduct and commitments.

What might you add to the list?

Healthy Things Grow

growBack in August, following an almost unanimous vote by our church to merge with Hillside Christian Church, I gathered our group leaders and shared a phrase I hoped would be helpful to our them as we began a season of change. The phrase was, “Healthy things grow. And growing things change. And change challenges us. Challenges cause us to put our trust in God. Trust breeds obedience. And obedience makes us healthy.”

As I look back at that statement, I never realized how many times I would quote that phrase as I pondered decisions and talked to others. And in praying, meditating and considering the truth of this statement, here are some of the things I have learned along the way…

Healthy Things Grow
Have you ever noticed that healthy things grow? Plants, children, our emotional lives, our relationship with God, and even our relationship with others all grow. If these things are healthy, they are progressing, moving forward and changing. In fact, in the last month, my son shot up a whole inch. While that was tough on the pocketbook, we rejoice that he’s healthy and growing. That’s because healthy things grow.

Growing Things Change
If it wasn’t for change, we wouldn’t have seasons! Or butterflies! Or progress! In fact, we might still be living in the dark ages. As I look back on my life, I am grateful for change. Change in my preferences. Change in my attitudes. Change in my behavior. And even change in my clothing styles. You see, this is how we know things are growing. They change and are different from when we last saw them.

Change Challenges Us
Mark Twain once said, “The only person that likes change is a wet baby.” As humans, we like things to stay the way we like them. We are creatures of habit and comfort. After all, why mess with a “good thing”? But let’s face it! What if the “good thing”, could be better? The challenge that comes with change, is that it leads us into unknown territory. So we resist it. We like the familiarity. Even if the familiarity is unhealthy. As humans, we prefer the path of least resistance. That’s because change challenges us to make adjustments, take risks, and trust God for an uncertain future.

Challenges Cause Us to Put Our Trust in God
Here’s the reality! Challenges cause us to dig deep and depend on God more fully. Yet when presented with a challenge, many of us choice  to remain comfortable, knowing that change may require something of us. When I officiate a wedding, I often use this phrase, “May God give you enough tears to keep you tender, enough hurts to keep you compassionate, enough failure to keep you humble, and just enough success to ensure that you stay dependent upon Him.” You see, God knows exactly where to apply the pressure to cause us to turn to Him in faith. God wants us to grow in faith, and challenges force us to trust in Him.

Trust Breeds Obedience
Remember that old hymn, “Trust and obey, for there’s no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey”? The antidote to fear is not safety and security. It has always been trust that leads to obedience. If we truly trust the Lord, He will reveal His will to us and show us what to do. Thus, trust breeds obedience.

Obedience Makes Us Healthy
Let’s look at it this way. Obedience takes trust! Trust creates expectancy! Expectancy breeds faith! Faith pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). In life, there will inevitably be something that forces us to trust God in a new way. And this is the great adventure of living with Jesus!

A Thanksgiving Prayer

Thanksgiving IstanbulPraise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1-5

Dear heavenly Father, we join King David, on this Thanksgiving Day, in rehearsing just a few of the multiplied reasons why we love being your children—why we love being loved by you. By your Holy Spirit, free us over the course of these next several hours to abound in gratitude and overflow with thanksgiving, that we might offer you the heart-filled praise of which you alone are worthy.

Father, here are a just a few of the way-too-easy-to-forget benefits that you give us so richly and fully in Christ:

We praise you for being the God who forgives all of our sins. Because of what you’ve done for us in Jesus, all of our sins—past, present and future—sins by our words, thoughts and deeds, all of them have been forgiven. When we trusted Jesus, you didn’t give us a clean slate and a second chance at life; you gave us a new heart and your robed us in Jesus’ perfect righteousness. Hallelujah, for such a standing in grace!

We praise you for being the God who heals all our diseases. Everything about us is broken—everything about us bears the effects of sin and death, but you are the God who is making all things new through Jesus—all things. In this life, the healing journey has begun—a story with a guaranteed ending of whole-being health—in body, heart and soul. We will be healthy forever! Hallelujah, for such a living hope!

We praise you for being the God who redeems our lives from all kinds of “pits”—from the pits into which we have aimlessly fallen in life; from the ones into which we are thrown by our enemies; and from the ones into which we foolishly jump. Nothing will ever separate us from your sovereign and sufficient grace.  Hallelujah, your name is Redeemer!

We praise you for crowing us with love and compassion. You have taken our garland of guilt and shame and have crowned us with the victory of your beloved Son, Jesus. He has triumphed over sin and death for us. Hallelujah, your banner over us is love and your rejoicing over us is loud!

We praise you for satisfying our desires with good things—partially in this life, and fully in the life to come. You freely give us all things to enjoy, and to share with others. May that be evidenced today, as we gather as family and friends—all in need of your daily mercies and steadfast love. Hallelujah, for intending our joy and for renewing our strength! May everything within us bless you holy and grace-filled name! So very Amen we pray, with gratitude and hope, in Jesus’ name.

20 Quotes from Spiritual Leadership

indexSpiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders is a literary classic and is acclaimed as one of the greatest leadership books in print today. Offering a depth and breadth of biblical wisdom and practical application, Spiritual Leadership get to the heart of the matter with an emphasis on the character and qualities of the leader, for leadership flows out of who we are, not just what we do.

Below are some of the memorable quotes from the book during my most recent reread…

  1. True greatness, true leadership, is found in giving yourself in service to others, not in coaxing or inducing others to serve you.
  2. Spiritual leaders are not elected, appointed, or created by synods or church assemblies. God alone makes them.
  3. The spiritual leader must be clothed “with humility” (1 Peter 5:5).
  4. Before we can conquer the world, we must first conquer the self.
  5. Many who aspire to leadership fail, because they have never learned to follow.
  6. A leader must be able to see the end results of the policies and methods he or she advocates. Responsible leadership always looks ahead to see how policies will affect future generations.
  7. The spiritual leader will not procrastinate when faced with a decision, nor vacillate after making it. To postpone decision is really to decide for the status quo.
  8. People who are skeptical of prayer’s validity and power are usually those who do not practice it seriously or fail to obey when God reveals His will. We cannot learn about praying except by praying. No philosophy has ever taught a soul to pray. The intellectual problems associated with prayer are met in the joy of answered prayer and closer fellowship to God.
  9. If a man is known by the company he keeps, so also his character is revealed in the books he reads.
  10. Life’s value is not its duration but its donation – not how long we live, but how fully and how well.
  11. Procrastination, the thief of time, is one of the devil’s most potent weapons for defrauding us of eternal heritage.
  12. Those who lead the church are marked by a willingness to give up personal preferences, to surrender legitimate and natural desires for the sake of God.
  13. The true leader is concerned primarily with the welfare of others, not with his own comfort or prestige. He shows sympathy for the problems of others, but his sympathy fortifies and stimulates, it does not soften or make weak. A spiritual leader will always direct the confidence of others to the Lord.
  14. Lowering standards is always a backward step and compromise nearly always requires it.
  15. More failures come from an excess of caution than from bold experiments with new ideas.
  16. God will defend the leaders he has chosen. He will honor, protect, and vindicate them. Leaders need not worry about defending their rights or their office.
  17. To succeed in getting things done through other leaders is the highest type of leadership.
  18. Indeed, no man, however gifted and devoted is indispensable to the work of the kingdom.
  19. Faith builds faith. Pessimism dismantles faith.
  20. Willingness to concede error and to defer to the judgment of one’s peers increases one’s influence rather than diminishes it.

Which quote from Sanders book challenges you or gets you thinking about leadership in a different way?

ICMC17: Crypto++: Past Validations and Future Directions

Jeffrey Walton, Security Consultant.

This is an older toolkit, Jeff fell in love with it when he was in college in the 90s. He's been working in computer security ever since.

Crypto++ is a C++ class library, written by Wei Dai in June 1995. It's a general purpose crypto library, handed over to the community in 2015.

When the library was hit with CVE in 2015, he handed it over to the community to develop. Since Jeffrey has been using it since 1990s, he was chosen to become one of the maintainers. Wei Dei still advises.

C++03 through C++17 have heavy use of templates and static polymorphism (yay C++). Makes things faster, but makes it hard to adopt, especially as there is not excellent documentation. He tries to use questions on stackoverflow to demonstrate where to spend time on the documentation.

Right now, crypto++ is on the historical validation list, which makes it pretty much useless... (them and everyone else ended up on the list last year, due to DRBG changes).

Crypto++ validations are on Windows only. Includes NIST approved algorithms; RNG, AES, SHA, MAC, RSA, DH. There are non-FIPS routines in other DLLs.

Going forward, he'd like to add C bindings. Would like to add an engine-like interface.  Will they do another validation? Probably not - too expensive. But, could wrap around other validated crypto to take advantage.

Crypto++ now uses OpenSSL's FIPS Object Module, to effectively provide a FIPS validated module - so you can stay on your C++ bindings and not make changes to your application.

Going forward, he

I’ll Be Back

Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
~ Revelation 20:6 (NKJV)

“And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.' ”
~ Luke 19:17 (NKJV)

Jesus described in a parable the day when His servants would give an account of how they used the spiritual riches He entrusted to them while on the earth. He spoke of them being rewarded with charge over cities, and our reign here is also described in Revelation (above and 5:10).

Maybe it’s just me, but the idea of returning to earth and reigning over it doesn’t particularly appeal. Once out of here, why would we want to return, even if the planet is returned to the pristine condition it had at creation?

There is one reason, and one reason only that I will definitely want to be here. This is where my King will be. And once I’m finally united to Him, I want to be wherever He is—even right back here with the rest of you.

Lord Jesus, how hard it is to work through this book and hear of all to come with You when we don’t yet see You! It’s not just about escaping this place, it is desire to be with You. Please increase our patient perseverance. And come quickly, Lord!

  1. I wonder how it will feel for Him to rule like that again. I tend to wonder that a lot.
    ~ Wendy

  2. I had the same thought before I read where you were going. I want to be where my King is! Wonderful post, Anne.

  3. now this is a question that i've wanting to ask....for a spell. the new heaven and new earth was mentioned before. i can see your point of being happy as long as you're (we) are with Him. i wondered if this is the part when the lion and lambs lay down together? then again, it bothers me if we have to do the free will/free choice all over again. it makes it sound like we're in a sort of pre-school for heaven. it's all above/over my head in the area of understanding His Ways.

  4. Denise ~

    I wonder if we forget the waiting ...

  5. Wendy ~

    And I wonder if the Lord is able to also experience anticipation. I have to think that He does.

  6. Jason ~

    I always delight to think the Spirit is present. At least I hope it was Him.

  7. Bud ~

    Yes, this will be the time of a little child leading the wild animals and swords being beaten into plowshares. And the Bible says that we who have experienced the first resurrection cannot be touched by the second death. We will have already established our choice of free will.

  8. Yes, I miss His person though I never saw Him and yearn to be with Him. He is so alive in so many other ways to me. I long to be physically near Him!

  9. I know we're supposed to be destined for the throne. But you know what? I don't really want to be in charge of anyone or anything. I'd like to just to be a servant.

    Maybe my attitude will change by then. ;)

  10. T ~

    Is it because His Spirit lives in us that we find it so unbearable to be physically separated? *sigh*

    At least we have His Spirit in the meantime.

  11. Snady ~

    I've said before that I'd gladly scrub floors on my knees with a toothbrush for all eternity if I can simply have a place near the throne.

Hypocrites and Liars

I'm reprinting/mirroring the article that appeared on Common Dreams today because I think everyone who wants to build a peace on this planet needs to seriously consider Cindy's actions and approach. She is sincere and she tells the truth without concern for what it might "cost" her. While I cannot get behind economic models (or any other singularly focused model) I can get behind passion with compassion.

Yes I personally believe that we women have to become so aroused with passion for peace, for children, for humanity that we finally say, enough is enough, "You have to stop killing each other!" Our world will not survive unless we do this. With the technology we have, we can destroy all life on this planet. To be doing anything other than everything possible to build peace, compromise wherever possible with adversaries to diffuse explosive situations, love our enemies as ourselves (for they are part of we), turn away from gain and growth mentalities toward balance and flow realities, well, to do anything less will be to murder our own children in an insane fit of territorial rage.

I don't know whether I'm a pacifist or not. In my heart I am. Violence slices with a savage recursion through our personal, societal, and cultural history. While we may not be able to end it, it is immoral to condone it. To stop Hitler, to stop Stalin, to stop Pol Pot, or Milosevic--those were or would have been noble causes if gain an greed and economic analyses had not been the factors that allowed these men to rise to tyrrany. Would Eastern Europe have been sliced up had women, who are more concerned with relationships than territory been the leaders in negotiation? It is a ludicrous question. Just as whether I'm a pacifist is also moot. It does not matter what potential evil we might be capable of carrying out -- we have to try a different approach. The economic expansionist one is killing our people and our planet. No theoretical or philosophical orientation will help us to survive. Only blatant honesty and a passion to save the children of our world can build enough of breaking mechanism so that we can screechingly halt the most horrific processes over which we still have some influence. If we can do this pragmatically as Cindy is doing then perhaps we might survive long enough to figure out how to live through the massive climatic and ecologial changes that are already underway and becoming more obvious every day. After that we can worry about theory, philosophy and religion. Right now we just need to survive and engage in behaviors that do not kill off our children for the temporary gain of those who would knowingly destroy our world.

Anyway... we need a lot more Cindys. We are being asked to believe in and to passively submit our lives and the lives of our families to maintain and expand the foolhardy industrial war games of hypocrites and liars.

Hypocrites and Liars
by Cindy Sheehan

The media are wrong. The people who have come out to Camp Casey to help coordinate the press and events with me are not putting words in my mouth, they are taking words out of my mouth. I have been known for sometime as a person who speaks the truth and speaks it strongly. I have always called a liar a liar and a hypocrite a hypocrite. Now I am urged to use softer language to appeal to a wider audience. Why do my friends at Camp Casey think they are there? Why did such a big movement occur from such a small action on August 6, 2005?

I haven't had much time to analyze the Camp Casey phenomena. I just read that I gave 250 interviews in less than a weeks time. I believe it. I would go to bed with a raw throat every night. I got pretty tired of answering some questions, like: 'What do you want to say to the President?' and 'Do you really think he will meet with you?' However, since my mom has been sick I have had a chance to step back and ponder the flood gates that I opened in Crawford, TX.

I just read an article posted today on by artist Robert Shetterly who painted my portrait. The article reminded me of something I said at the Veteran's for Peace Convention the night before I set out to Bush's ranch in my probable futile quest for the truth. This is what I said:

"I got an e-mail the other day and it said, 'Cindy if you didn't use so much profanity '. There's people on the fence that get offended.'

And you know what I said? 'You know what? You know what, god damn it? How in the world is anybody still sitting on that fence?'

"If you fall on the side that is pro-George and pro-war, you get your ass over to Iraq, and take the place of somebody who wants to come home. And if you fall on the side that is against this war and against George Bush, stand up and speak out."

This is what the Camp Casey miracle is all about. American citizens who oppose the war but never had a conduit for their disgust and dismay are dropping everything and traveling to Crawford to stand in solidarity with us who have made a commitment to sit outside of George's ranch for the duration of the miserable Texan August. If they can't come to Texas, they are attending vigils, writing letters to their elected officials and to their local newspapers; they are setting up Camp Casey branches in their hometowns; they are sending flowers, cards, letters, gifts, and donations here to us at Camp Casey. We are so grateful for all of the support, but I think pro-peace Americans are grateful for something to do, finally.

One thing I haven't noticed or become aware of though is an increased number of pro-war, pro-Bush people on the other side of the fence enlisting to go and fight George Bush's war for imperialism and insatiable greed. The pro-peace side has gotten off their apathetic butts to be warriors for peace and justice. Where are the pro-war people? Everyday at Camp Casey we have a couple of anti-peace people on the other side of the road holding up signs that remind me that 'Freedom isn't Free' but I don't see them putting their money where their mouths are. I don't think they are willing to pay even a small down payment for freedom by sacrificing their own blood or the flesh of their children. I still challenge them to go to Iraq and let another soldier come home. Perhaps a soldier that is on his/her third tour of duty, or one that has been stop-lossed after serving his/her country nobly and selflessly, only to be held hostage in Iraq by power mad hypocrites who have a long history of avoiding putting their own skin in the game.

Contrary to what the mainstream media thinks, I did not just fall off a pumpkin truck in Crawford, TX. on that scorchingly hot day two weeks ago. I have been writing, speaking, testifying in front of Congressional committees, lobbying Congress, and doing interviews for over a year now. I have been pretty well known in the progressive, peace community and I had many, many supporters before I left even left California. The people who supported me did so because they know that I uncompromisingly tell the truth about this war. I have stood up and said: 'My son died for NOTHING, and George Bush and his evil cabal and their reckless policies killed him. My son was sent to fight in a war that had no basis in reality and was killed for it.' I have never said 'pretty please' or 'thank you.' I have never said anything wishy-washy like he uses 'Patriotic Rhetoric.' I say my son died for LIES. George Bush LIED to us and he knew he was LYING. The Downing Street Memos dated 23 July, 2002 prove that he knew that Saddam didn't have WMD's or any ties to Al Qaeda. I believe that George lied and he knew he was lying. He didn't use patriotic rhetoric. He lied and made us afraid of ghosts that weren't there. Now he is using patriotic rhetoric to keep the U.S. military presence in Iraq: Patriotic rhetoric that is based on greed and nothing else.

Now I am being vilified and dragged through the mud by the righties and so-called 'fair and balanced' mainstream media who are afraid of the truth and can't face someone who tells it by telling any truth of their own. Now they have to twist, distort, lie, and scrutinize anything I have ever said when they never scrutinize anything that George Bush said or is saying. Instead of asking George or Scotty McClellan if he will meet with me, why aren't they asking the questions they should have been asking all along: 'Why are our young people fighting, dying, and killing in Iraq? What is this noble cause you are sending our young people to Iraq for? What do you hope to accomplish there? Why did you tell us there were WMD's and ties to Al Qaeda when you knew there weren't? Why did you lie to us? Why did you lie to the American people? Why did you lie to the world? Why are our nation's children still in harm's way and dying everyday when we all know you lied? Why do you continually say we have to 'complete the mission' when you know damn well you have no idea what that mission is and you can change it at will like you change your cowboy shirts?'

Camp Casey has grown and prospered and survived all attacks and challenges because America is sick and tired of liars and hypocrites and we want the answers to the tough questions that I was the first to dare ask. THIS is George Bush's accountability moment and he is failing miserably. George Bush and his advisers seriously 'misunderestimated' me when they thought they could intimidate me into leaving before I had the answers, or before the end of August. I can take anything they throw at me, or Camp Casey. If it shortens the war by a minute or saves one life, it is worth it. I think they seriously 'misunderestimated' all mothers. I wonder if any of them had authentic mother-child relationships and if they are surprised that there are so many mothers in this country who are bear-like when it comes to wanting the truth and who want to make meaning of their child's needless and seemingly meaningless deaths?

The Camp Casey movement will not die until we have a genuine accounting of the truth and until our troops are brought home. Get used to it George, we are not going away.

Cloth Diapering 101: Types of Diapers

There are many styles of cloth diapers available, and the purpose of this post is to familiarize you with some of the basic types of diapers, as well as comparing/contrasting some different options.

The very most basic type of diaper looks like what our mothers and grandmothers used on us. It is called a prefold, and is fastened into place with diaper pins or a Snappi. The Snappi is a pinless fastener, that is T-shaped with grips on each end. They come in many colors, and are a easy, safer way to diaper your baby using a prefold diaper. Prefolds do require a waterproof cover, which are available through many companies, such as Thirsties and Bummis. The prefold method of diapering is the most economical option.

The next type of diaper to discuss is the fitted diaper. Fitted diapers are usually made out of a very soft, breathable material. They fasten with velcro or snaps instead of pins or Snappis. These diapers are easier to use than the prefolds, but they also require a cover. Also, doublers (1 extra layer) or inserts (multiple layers of absorbency) may be laid inside the diaper for extra absorbency. Because of the extra layers with the cover and inserts, prefolds and fitteds tend to be bulkier.

If you're looking for a diaper that is easier to use and less bulky, all-in-ones (AIOs), pocket diapers, or OneSize diapers are for you.
The AIOs are the closest thing to a disposables and are EASY to use. AIOs come with an insert sewn into the diaper and are fastened with velcro or snaps. No extra work is required before or after using the diaper. They work just like a disposable except for the washing part. There is usually a pocket to place additional inserts for more absorbency, however.
Pocket diapers are almost as easy as the AIOs, but they do not come with an insert sewn in. There will be a pocket (hence the name "pocket diaper") where you may stuff inserts as needed. AIOS and pocket diapers are easy to use, but they come with more cost.
If you are looking for a more economical pocket diaper, look for the OneSize diapers. These diapers are pocket diapers that are adjustable to fit your baby all the way from birth to potty training. Instead of buying bigger diapers as your baby gets bigger, you just have to adjust the snaps to a bigger size. Buying a stash of 15-20 OneSize diapers might be all you need to diaper your baby.

There are varied versions of these diapers available at many stores around the United States and online. Our store ( currently carries pocket diapers and OneSize diapers. As our business grows we hope to expand and carry all other types as well. If there is a certain type of diaper or brand that you wish we carried, let us know! We'll do our best to have some available as soon as possible.

Why Use Cloth

We started using cloth diapers when Morgan was about a month old. It took awhile for us to quit using a mix of disposables in addition to the cloth, but now I am proud to say that Morgan is a completely cloth girl except on extreme occasions (for instance, when our washer broke a few weeks ago and we had to go a few days without washing clothes). There are a number of reasons why we use cloth diapers, but the biggest two are saving money and saving the environment. I have been asked several times about the mess with cloth diapers. This post is meant to answer questions I have fielded about my experience with cloth. Let me tell you, it's a totally different experience than my mother's cloth diapers! Here are some good reasons to try cloth:

1) They are WAY DIFFERENT than the cloth diapers my mom used with me. There aren't any pins to hold them together, no leaky plastic pants, no soaking buckets for used diapers, and NO MORE MESS THAN DISPOSABLES! The only difference between disposables and cloth is what you do with the soiled diapers. Instead of throwing them in your diaper genie, you throw cloth ones in a diaper pail that is meant for the washing machine. Then you wash them and use them again, over and over. (I just use a standard trash can with a pail liner inside--FYI, Knickernappies doorknob diaper pails can also work to line a trash can.)

2) It saves A LOT of money! We figured we could save as much as $2000 per kid by using cloth diapers. In today's rough economy situation, everyone could use a little extra change in the bank.

3) It saves the environment. Did you know United States consumers throw away about 27.4 billion diapers per year, and each diaper will take at least 200-250 years to decompose?

4) They are CUTE! Cloth diapers today come in several brands with several colors. They look so adorable, you'll want to let your baby's diaper show every day!

Finito!  Completion!  Concluded!  Hook, line & sinker . . .  Lock, stock & barrel!  Okay, the shower glass goes in later this week, but it doesn't really count, right?  And I need to hang a little art, maybe add an orchid, etc., etc.

His & Hers vanities with a Linen Storage Cabinet

You can find links and sources on my Bath Reno board on Pinterest.  If you haven't discovered Pinterest, I will happily send you an invite to lose countless hours pinning away beautiful magazine quality images.  It's my down-time just before my bed-time.  A few of the show-stoppers include the grasscloth wallcovering and the polished nickel fixtures.

Kraftmaid Hardware in Polished Nickel

More hardware by Kraftmaid {I love to mix knobs & pulls in a space}
I'm completely certain one can't have too many blue & white garden stools.
This is en route, and will be my shaving perch in the shower.  Makes me soooo happy!

Crema Maril Hexagon Honed {Shower Floor}

The space is on the second floor, nestled under a huge canopy of trees.
Even on a cloudy day {pictured} it gets plenty of natural light.
I'm not ready to put holes in my new grasscloth paper yet!  Maybe next week!
I have a sweet black forest deer that will probably go between the mirrors.

The shower held it's own set of issues.  Mold and rot existed under the old shower pan.  Electrical ran under the old seat/bench.  And there was a window.  In the shower.  On the front of the house.  A major privacy issue, yes.  But I learned winter-time showering with a single-pane window can lead to some major chill-bumps and razor burn!  It is now "gone" from the inside, but remains intact to balance the exterior window design on the front of our home's exterior.  We planned to use the subway tile in the shampoo niches, but ran into some cutting/pattern issues, hence Plan B which included some travertine and the crema marfil marble mosaic.  Truthfully, this was one of those problems that worked out for the best.

The Water Closet was given a face-lift as well . . .  Paper, new loo & cabinet upgrade.
So far only one bath in my new soaker-tub.  Hoping for some quiet afternoon R&R in it soon!

The drawers are lined with a soft tone-on-tone scenic toile paper, a freebie from my mom!

To recap:
-Cabinet color is Benjamin Moore "White" {satin impervo finish}.  "White Dove" is usually my go-to paint color for cabinets, but my bathroom needed something brighter.
-Wallcovering is Seabrook Eastern Expressions Grasscloth GP1016
-Wallcovering lining cabinets/drawers is an unknown toile, leftover from my mother's house
-Flooring is Halilah Gold travertine honed & filled
-Counters & Tub Deck feature Crema Marfil marble, honed finish
-All fixtures are Newport Brass Chesterfield Collection in a polished nickel finish
-Sinks are Toto Rendezvous Cotton White undermount style basins.  I love their Sanigloss finish which really keeps things neat & clean.  Also, they don't put a label on their sinks, which keeps things looking crisp.
-Cabinet hardware is from Kraftmaid, polished nickel finish {special order at Home Depot}
-Toilet is Kohler Bancroft elongated comfort height in white.  I love this toilet!!
-Shower Field Tile is ADEX Hampton Collection Beveled Subway in Bisque/Bone Crackle Finish
-Shower Floor Tile is Hexagonal Crema Marfil honed with
-Bathtub is Kohler Portrait Collection
-Shower Glass was Mirror Gallery Inc. in Houston.  I loved working with Glen Bray, and highly recommend their company for any glass or mirror needs you have.

There you have it!  The million dollar question my husband and I have asked one another for months {six very long months}, "Is this going to be worth it?" is now answered!  Absolutely!!!

I will find myself tomorrow morning with a very hot French vanilla thanking my lucky stars that a contractor doesn't ring my door bell and find me in my pajamas!  Pretty sure they're thankful, too.

My pint-sized sous chef will be FIVE!!!

She is a snuggle bug, still, always.

Always up for some glam time with her momma.
This girl of mine can hang just fine with the boys--neon manicure to boot!
More on this TOMORROW!  Wallpaper goes in and I can hardly wait!

Master Bathroom gets GUTTED!

Gutted.  Stripped to the studs.

This means lots of new!  New electrical.  New plumbing {pipes & fixtures}.  New drywall.  New cabinets.  New shower--every bit of it.

Greg is an architect.  I am an interior designer.  You might think that this would lead to a simple renovation.  Sadly, you'd be wrong.  We have learned a lot in this process--and, we're over budget and currently running six weeks past the time frame we set for completion.  From both of our professional endeavors, we estimated about 10% overages in terms of both budget and time.  We're way past that!  That said, any time you have to go "behind the scenes" unexpected problems arise.  We found electrical lines routed inside the existing shower bench.  Then there were complications sealing off the old window inside the shower.  Our master bath shower is on the front of the house with a window in it, which leads to some major trouble when attempting to shave one's legs in the dead of winter, not to mention a privacy-issue.  There were drains where floor joists should be and floor joists where drains should be . . .  And of course, we moved copper lines.  For the record, the copper pipe lines may be more expensive than my cherished polished nickel fixtures!  We found serious mold & rot.  Nearly twenty years of leaking led to some really ugly discoveries.  But this is a pretty blog, so I'll get on with it!

That's me with my real estate agent.  Took this photo on our first walk-through--before we bought the house.
The Master Bath featured wall-to-wall carpet & white and brass trim-out!
The tub and deck were HUGE.  Avacado green walls were super-flattering!
Upon moving in, we painted the walls Artic Grey {Benjamin Moore} and added a pretty travertine stone flooring.  The rest of the bathroom would have to wait.  Four years, to be exact.
Day 1 Demo begins!
I was tempted to drench the entire room in lavender scented Chlorox!

Look at that beautiful shower bench!  Makes you feel squeaky clean, right?
Progress--the tub deck and shower surround are removed.

Old white melamine plastic vanities are outta there!

I planned, price-shopped and pinned at night.  Greg drew up fancy plans.  We figured out some ways to get some serious storage inside the tiny footprint of our master bath.  Since we were creating such a big mess, we tapped into the attic space above the master closet and raised the ceiling of our closet, allowed for additional overhead hanging storage.  Much-needed, as this house doesn't offer much in the way of closets/storage.  We knew we'd have to commit to custom millwork for this project.  We planned on sliding drawers and a custom linen tower with electrical tucked inside.
Better Homes & Gardens {Pinterest}

I searched high and low for plumbing fixtures, mirrors, even toilets.  I fell in love with these mirrors seen on Cote de Texas.  Found a good looking look-a-like at Ballard Designs and promptly ordered two!  So thankful I did, as Ballard has discontinued the Alayna Mirror.

Ballard Designs Alayna Mirror

Truthfully--inspiration was easy.  Many a pretty bathroom caught my eye.  But we had some very real budget and space constraints!  Cabinets had to be super functional, and we needed to eliminate the knee-hole area {designed for a vanity stool} to regain some precious storage.  My vanity {originally next to the window on the right-hand side of the photo} had to slide down towards Greg sink area to make room for the linen cabinet.

Cabinet Day {iPhone photos, sorry}

Love the clean simple lines of a classic Shaker door.  Love the "feet", too!
I'll leave you with the first of the really pretty photos.  The stone was installed Friday!  I selected crema marfil marble with a honed finish and a simple square profile edge.  Crema marfil is a very affordable marble, and is typically a very soft neutral beige with light veining.  Marbles tend to be softer than granite, so some shy away from them for fear of scratching.  Personally, I love the soft patina that marble acquires over time.

Crema Marfil Marble {honed finish} with undermount sinks & polished nickel fixtures.
Back soon with more . . . after my plumber works his magic.  There's a divine hexagonal mosaic and a French-style tub faucet, grasscloth paper and a beautiful Kohler bathtub.  Stay tuned!

Missing in action . . .

An apology is desperately needed here . . .  Forgive me.  For the record, I did not fall off the face of the earth, although--there were plenty of moments I wanted to.

I have felt paralyzed.  Unable to write . . .  Or maybe unable to come to terms with my emotions?  Not sure which, maybe both.

To post a pretty picture seemed unkind.  To focus on details wasn't fair to the big picture.

My sweet mother-in-law lost her fight with cancer, and as much time as we've had with her--as prepared as I thought I might be to let her go--no one could have prepared me, or my family, for the struggle and the physical despair she faced in the last months.  We have been through a trauma, and we're all still very much on the mend.

I really can't put my words here.  I'm not afraid to do so, I just haven't found my voice yet.  We are healing.  We are stronger.  I am not afraid.  I love actually knowing that His peace is made perfect in weakness.  I the midst of the great sadness there is so much peace.

I'll not leave you for long this time.  There are flowers to plant, and growing children to document.  We are in the midst of a huge bathroom remodel, and we're finally at the pretty stage.  A beautiful new-to-me sofa has found a home in our living room, after I discovered his faded beauty on woodlands online, my new favorite virtual garage-sale!  Spring is springing, and my camera is fully charged.

I'll bring some beauty and some fun and some whimsy when I return.  And I'm so looking forward to it.  See you soon.  Very, very soon.

    A Peak behind the Curtain

    Here is a quick take on my life at the moment, taking a break from the political and educational posts:

    • I will be flying to The Red State (there is only one like this one) to visit my
      Memaw. Hospice has been called, and I need to go. Hopefully, the call
      was premature.
    • I have applied online to a local law school. I will have to take the LSAT, so I don't
      know, still, if this is the way I want to go.
    • I have a stack of 20-odd books on my dissertation topic (roughly) that I got from
      the library. Ostensibly I am using them to fill out the prospectus section on the current state of scholarship in my area/topic. They have been sitting there for a week now.
    • I am at a crossroads, and I am not sure as to where I want/need to focus my
      energies. No signs are coming.
    • Pookie starts kindergarten this year. I dread her going away to school. The first 5 years have gone so fast that the next 12 will surely go as fast and then she will be gone. [Well, that was pathetically over-dramatic…but I am still sad]
    • Lovely Wife has an interview today. If it goes well, and I hope it does, she will be working in her field for the first time since getting the MA. Small town is rough for an Ivy grad.
    • My Dad has been diagnosed recently with Parkinson's Disorder, which is not the
      Disease, but close enough. Lots of bad news lately.
    • I missed my Papaw's funeral 6 years ago, and I still feel guilty. I was out of the country at the time and had just visited him maybe two weeks before, but still. I caught his last lucent moments—after driving for two straight days—literally walking up to the bed-side and having 5 minutes before what we think was a stroke took him away. I dread that I will do the same with Memaw.
    • Memaw and Papaw are such Southern names for grandparents.
    • I really wish that I had more comments from the posts I have been putting up. I am getting a little discouraged.

    Would you like me to read this to you? Listen

    I hope things go the way you want them to with Mewmaw and the other stuff will tend to sort itself out in its time.

    new job, schedule upheaval... no time to compose witty, intelligent comments. (Who am I trying to kid? My comments were never witty and intelligent in the first place.)

    Blogger Piss Poor Prof said...

    Thanks Terri and Miranda. Your comments, both here and elsewhere, have been both encouraging and intelligent.

    Blogger Diana said...

    Sorry you are at such a place of unease. I hope writing about it helps sort things out. It does me. I hear you on the kindergarten thing. My son is 7 and my daughter is 3, so I've both been through it and have it coming up, again, next year (out here, kindergarten starts at age 4). I dreaded his because it was the first. I'm dreading hers because it's the last.

    Thanks everyone. I am heartened, and I will keep in mind the 5:1 ratio. I know this is fairly accurate given the hitcounts.

    I will update more specifically in a post.

    Thanks again.

Frankie Miller...That's Who!

Another bargain awaits your pouncing in the U.K. warehouses of Amazon. The great Scot, Frankie Miller, a singer largely unsung throughout his career, save the accolades of his peers, has been anthologized in a most perfect way.

The singer, who Allen Toussaint once referred to as the "most soulful singer he's ever heard," recorded 7 records for the Chrysalis label between 1973- 1980, including a debut backed by Brinsley Schwarz, and an album produced by Allen Toussaint and featuring Toussaint originals. Those two records, "Once In A Blue Moon" and "High Life," respectively, are worth the price of admission alone. But that's not all!

If you act now, they'll throw in his third release, "The Rock," another of Miller's solid displays of rock and soul.

These three LPs, newly remastered, can be yours for the low price of $19.99.

But wait...

Though Miller's next 4 LPs were a bit uneven, there are enough gems to warrant some listening time, including collaborations with Paul Carrack, Steven Tyler, and Robin Trower, as well as a full blown country record recorded with some of Nashville's finest.

Basically, what EMI did with the brilliant Hollies package a few month ago has been revisited with Frankie Miller's 4 CD set. 7 records spread over 4 CDs for $20.

Still, the highlight of this box in my opinion, is something that I would have spent $25 on by itself. The 1974 Allen Toussaint-produced "High Life," was apparently remixed and released by Chrysalis without Miller's or Toussaint's consent. This set offers, for the very first time, both the released version and the original mix, which is an exemplary example of New Orleans swamp and soul.

Here's the link:

You won't be sorry.

thanks for highlighting this, Sal! "Full House" is one of my favorite albums - you can close your eyes and think you're listening to Otis Redding.

soundsource said...

I'd have agree and I actually came over to comments to make the same comment. Full House is like a Scot channeling the voice of The Big O, but it's a great deal and Miller is a great singer.

jeff k said...

and cool, another great version of brickyard blues

Eric said...

thanks..and i thought Gregg allman was a blue-eyed soul crooner.

Jerry Lee said...

Thanks, Sal! I ordered it through Amazon US when I read it was remastered. Haven't listened to either in a while, but I recall that The Rock and Blue Moon had very muddy sound. Full House always kicked ass, like Otis fronting a rock band.

OldRockr1 said...

I came late to the party with Frankie Miller. Totally missed him in my youth. I picked up a copy of The Rock after reading another blog post. Just blew my mind how great a singer he is. Am I the only one who hears a little Delbert McClinton?

Anything Should Happen said...

Well played Sal.

I think he's been our little secret for too long.

I can't wait for this to appear on the web for free, I've got all the vinyl, fantastic live singer too.

Great site by the way!

Trends stable across the board, no sign of a major economic slowdown.

The NAB Monthly Business Survey posted another strong result in April, with both business conditions and confidence improving – pointing to ongoing strength in business activity in the near-term.

Results from the March NAB Monthly Business Survey point to an overall healthy economy that is gaining momentum, at least in the near-term.

This May 13-23, I will be leading NAB’s Agribusiness China Tour 2017. If your business involves cattle, sheep or wool, I encourage you to consider joining me.

While the health and aged care business stream attracted 130 Australian delegates and almost as many Chinese attendees at the first day of talks in Beijing, a planned mining stream was scrapped due to low interest.

Business survey suggests solid near-term activity, despite easing from multi-year high.

More Australian businesses are doing business overseas and with advances in technology and the strength of the Australian dollar, more and more small businesses are choosing to import goods from overseas suppliers.

The China Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) is a source of significant optimism for many of our business clients, most notably our small and medium sized business clients who are the key employer base in Australia and who generate a significant percentage of our country’s economic activity.

The strength witnessed in last month’s NAB Monthly Business Survey continued into January, with both business conditions and confidence jumping to much higher levels.

Exporting goods and services to an offshore Asian market might be the next step to growing your business – and pricing will be vital to your success. Get it right and you’ll become established and make a profit.

Prices across the base metals complex have generally been stronger than expected in recent months, prompting some upward revisions to our price forecasts

Business confidence has held up quite well and is remarkably steady given the context of major uncertainties both at home and abroad. That said, the level of confidence has not picked up to reflect the overall strength in business conditions seen over the past year or more.

Australia’s Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) can have a significant impact on businesses sourcing materials from Asia, or elsewhere around the globe. It can make it easier, cheaper and faster for both you and the business you’re buying from.

Strategy illustration Strategy theory

Methods of growth, economies of scale

Businesses can grow either organically i.e. through internal growth where profits are ploughed back into the business, or through external growth such as through take-over or merger with another business e.g. when Cadburys and Schweppes joined together. Growth enables a business to benefit from economies of scale with profound implications for the economics of production.

Technical economies are when businesses are able to benefit from improved techniques involved with large scale production. For example, a company like Gillette or BIC operate with very large modern factories using automated production technology. The result of using these technologies is that costs of production are reduced significantly while quality control is kept to a very high level with virtually zero defects.

Managerial economies of scale involve these firms in employing skilled production managers with the experience of working with modern technologies enabling them to manage highly sophisticated state-of-the-art factories.

Commercial economies are concerned with the purchase of stocks (and the selling of end products) using a large scale approach. Modern production plant are able to operate using components and materials that are purchased just-in-time for their use. The production line is managed at the speed required to meet the needs of end consumers just-in-time. Because companies like BIC and Gillette use mass production techniques they are able to operate their plant at high levels of capacity, while benefiting from bulk purchasing of components, equipment and materials.

Risks spreading economies of production mean that plants are able to produce a wide variety of products. For example, in a modern confectionery plant run by Cadbury Schweppes, it is possible to switch part of factory capacity from lines where demand is falling, to lines where demand is rising through well organised production management.

By growing a business so that it operates on a large scale it is possible to benefit from a variety of production economies of scale. These economies enable large scale production at much lower costs per unit than would be possible in a small plant.
