Time for Some Digital Spring Cleaning?

It’s that time of year when the snow finally melts (well, at least for those of us south of the Mason-Dixon line), the school year is wrapping up, and we’re all planning for summer. This is also traditionally the time when households go through “spring cleaning” as we clean out our closets or kids’ closets, re-arrange the jars of random screws in the garage, and finally knock out some items on our to-do list.

More and more, I feel like we need to do the same practices when it comes to our digital lives. We now spend hours of our day online, slowly building a digital version of ourselves. Our digital selves need a place to live, work, eat, share, and surf as well. Unfortunately, in this day and age of “check out this new app” or “sign-up here for more…” we are continually cluttering our phones and our amount of accounts to keep track of.  Data privacy has been in the news heavily lately, and having many different accounts out there opens you up for more risk.

It’s time we start a “digital spring cleaning” along-side the physical one, and you don’t have to wait until spring to do this. I like to use New Year’s Day as a benchmark to clean up my digital life, but found that doing it twice a year makes it much more manageable.  What follows are some tips that I’ve used over the years to keep my digital self from becoming a virtual hoarder.

Email Accounts for Different Purposes

Somedays, email can feel like a never ending stream of junk mail. Ads about a funny t-shirt that went on sale to a product that will greatly enhance my…well you get the idea. One thing I started several years ago was the use of 3 email accounts. One is for personal information (I use this with friends and family) but not for signing up for things. The second is for signing up for things to try out or to set up accounts to some sort of online service. The third is solely for work-related items.

While this separation can help up the amount of junk you get in your work and personal email accounts, there are times when your email will still be used for spam, so you’ll need to remain diligent in which account you use to sign up for things. If this still doesn’t work, below is a plan B.

Unsubscribe and Purge Quickly

One service that has made my life much easier and my inbox much less cluttered is This free service instantly lets you go through and identify messages that are spam and others that you may still want to receive but not in your inbox. It creates a list of all your subscription emails easily in a daily digest form. Quick bit of advice, you’ll want to update this yearly as it’s amazing how many other emails have found their way in my inbox since setting this up. (I just took a detour while writing this post and found I had over 300 emails coming into my inbox without my permission since the beginning of the year!)

Delete Some Apps

Some apps you only use occasionally. Others you added and tried out, but never use any more. Besides taking up valuable space on your phone, these apps can clutter your screen or folders. On the iPhone you can check battery usage settings to see what you’ve used the past 7 days. Besides discovering that you spend way too much of your screen time on Facebook, this can also help you determine which apps are used heavily and which ones never appear in the list.

Review your security settings

When looking through the location services section of my phone, I was surprised by the amount of apps that were tracking me even when I wasn’t using them.  When it comes to social media like Facebook and Twitter, you might be surprised at the sheer number of 3rd party applications that are using some portion of your data. Go to your account settings on all your heavily used social media platforms and purge any 3rd party app connections you won’t need or maybe didn’t even intend to approve.

Manage “Notifistractions”

A couple of years ago I wrote a blog post about the amount of notification distractions or “notifistractions” we get on our devices. Many of these are not necessary and can cause you anxiety, stress, or worse-yet, distract you when operating a motor vehicle. I always recommend turning off all alerts with the exception of reminders or calendar events. That email or text message can wait, but also know that on most phones you can give some folks in your contact list “VIP” access.  This means you will get an alert from them if they send you a text or message.

Google Search Yourself

You never know what’s been posted out there about you. Maybe a friend posted a photo of you without your permission or maybe you are giving people access to your personal documents without knowing it. At any rate, it’s always a good idea to “Google Yourself” fairly regularly to see what information is out there on you. A couple of quick notes to be most effective:  1 – Make sure you are not logged into your Google account or in “incognito” mode. This is what the outside world sees when they search you, if you are logged into Google, you’ll get different results. Also make sure search your full name is in “quotes” to get the most accurate results.

Back-up any important videos or photos

Every year, I do an “end of the year” family video that encapsulates much of what we did as a family throughout the previous year. While doing this to reflect on the year gone by is fun and heart-warming, it also reminds me to back up all my photos into either a physical hard drive or some sort of long term cloud storage like Dropbox. After all – you never know when your phone might break, and it would be good to have all your photo roll data backed up regularly.

Clear Those Cookies and Empty Your Trashcan

If you are like me, you use your trash can on your computer as sort of a temporary folder for items. At some point, you have to “empty” your trashcan, else you run the risk of your garbage chewing up most of your storage. The same can be said for the cookies contained within your browsers. These can be used for tracking your data and search queries and should be purged fairly regularly. Take a moment to look at and empty these on your laptop and desktop and you might find that the performance may improve on your computer when you do this.

I hope some of these tips help….Now get to cleaning!

Creating Time for Your Inner-Genius

I had a major problem in my last year as a first grade teacher. I had been teaching for several years and the students were so far ahead with two months to go that I had to figure out what to do with them. The year before, I decided to give them a head start on second grade curriculum thinking they would lose some during the summer break. I discovered that this was a major no-no and akin to taking a teacher’s personal parking space. Following a pretty good tongue-lashing by the second grade teachers, I was entering April with a choice, do I do it again?  Or do I figure out something else to do for our final 2 months together?

One thing that always bothered me as a teacher was the curriculum. The school I was teaching at and the team I was teaching with would rarely stray from it. The Teacher’s Edition was like a Holy Bible for a newer teacher as it provided the scope, sequence and pacing of delivery of content. There was one MAJOR problem with this….it didn’t take into account the kids. I was forcing them to learn math through fake story problems involving trains moving in opposite directions and learn history of whatever the textbook or standard dictated and never any more than that.

So with almost all the first grade content covered and a couple months of school left, I decided to consult the most important people in the school about what to do with the time….the students. I asked them what they wanted to learn about for the remainder of our time together. I had hoped for maybe one or two ideas but instead I got 22 different ideas for 22 different kids. It makes sense when you think about it. They each are unique and have different passions, so why wouldn’t they come up with things they are interested in?  The choices ranged from tornadoes to the actress Rachel Weisz (yes, a little boy named Sean was obsessed with her).

After gathering their list of ideas I presented them with a challenge – tie in all the core areas of curriculum – writing, science, reading, math and social studies into their passion and present a final project the represents all of these areas. While the school day was still fairly structured with centers and finishing up the final pieces of first grade curriculum, I started giving them an hour or more each day to work on their “passion project”.

I didn’t know it at the time, but this is exactly the way companies like Google work with their 20% time. It’s also the basis behind the concept of “Genius hour” in schools. Spend the majority of your time working on the “work” but then carve out pockets of time to explore your passions and inner genius. I’ve also heard it referred to as “Interest-based Learning.”  Whatever you want to call it, I stumbled into it my last year of teaching and immediately had regret. Not regret for doing it, but regret for not doing it sooner.

The content of our COWs – Apple’s iBook

The classroom bubbled with energy whenever the students had time to work on their projects. With only 4 computers in the room (do you remember Compaq computers?), they had limited research time and time to create. I ended up locating the one COW (Computers on Wheels) at the time which was full of a dozen pearl-white Apple iBooks (image left). I told the rest of the school that I would be the computer “farmer” in charge of the COW until the end of the year as my kids were using it heavily to wrap up their projects.

The amount of creativity energy flowing out of room 52 that year was breath-taking. During the last week of school, each of the students presented their passion project. I invited their parents in to see the final outcomes. Mary’s project on horses involved a history of horse migration to North America, an original poem on horses, and even math story problems on horses (“If two horses leave a barn at the same time heading in opposite directions…”).  Every student rose to the challenge and while it was hard for some to tie in the core content areas (Rachel Weisz was particularly challenging), they each accomplished the goals on the rubric.

So how do we make the time in schools for students to follow their inner-genius or passion? Some schools create Genius Hour time one day a week or one class period a week. Others, like one of our elementary campuses, creates something called “Enrichment Clusters” (based on the work of Joseph Renzulli) where not only do the students get to explore their passions, but the teachers get to teach their passions as well. Courses range from coding to yoga to golf in these clusters where students learn and ultimately present their project at the end of a 9-week time period.

As the students in my class wrapped up their projects that year, I felt extremely rewarded for making the choice I had for our time together those final weeks.They had the time to explore their inner-genius and had rewarded me by showing their learning. Thusly, I wanted to reward them for taking on this idea with such fervor. I tried to find some sort of trinket or object for each of them associated with their project. The boy who’s passion was Harry Potter got a stuff-three headed dog named Fluffy. The girl who was passionate about surfing got a charm bracelet full of different surf boards.

Oh, and in case you are wondering what happened with the student who created the Rachel Weisz project, I decided to reach out to the actress’ handlers but didn’t get a response. I ended up asking Sean to present on the last day just in case she decided to send a note or something. On the last day of school, his reward arrived:

It’s amazing what students can accomplish if you give them some voice and some choice. As a teacher, we need to figure out how to make this time for our students. We all have an inner-genius, we just need the time to explore it.

Overgrazing Impacting the Ecosystem of Sariska Tiger Reserve

Overgrazing Impacting the Ecosystem of Sariska Tiger Reserve

There is large fragmentation and degradation of wildlife habitat caused by people and their cattle and the gradual increase in their numbers are causing major problems for the survival of wildlife in such areas.
Overgrazing is becoming a serious threat to the survival of many endangered species in the world. This abstract presents the findings from an analysis of the effect of overgrazing on the wildlife in the Sariska Tiger Reserve, Rajasthan, India. Human animal conflicts become more intense where livestock holdings and agriculture are an important part of rural livelihood. Competition between rural communities and wild animals over natural resources is more intense in developing countries. The comparative analysis that can be sought from the data that has been collected from the past vegetation when it saw only grazing and the present vegetation when grazing has turned into overgrazing has led us to interpret that overgrazing is being practiced in the core areas of Sariska.

It has been observed that sambhar (Rusa unicolor) and cheetal (Axis axis) numbers have declined in the habitat area where livestock grazing is intense. Sambhar competes with goats for browsing material and with other cattle for water, which is needed for wallowing and drinking.
Cheetal (Axis axis) is a grazer and also competes with cattle for feed and water. Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus) is the least disturbed by cattle since browsing material comprises of 70 percent of its diet and the animal needs water less frequently.
Not only are the Ungulates involved in this problem, but the present study has found that even the langur (Semnopithecus entellus) population is higher in the undisturbed areas. This stands to the reason that there is not enough food to support the langur (Semnopithecus entellus) population in the disturbed area with low tree density. Tree density, tree cover and the number of tree species are lower in the disturbed areas, suggesting less quantity and variety of food in these areas at Sariska. Nearly 5% of the langur (Semnopithecus entellus) population at Sariska is preyed on by tigers (Panthera tigris) annually. Therefore, greater disturbance to the langurs (Semnopithecus entellus) also directly lowers the tiger’s prey base. Such observations indicate that the concerned authorities should rethink their vision of conservation by adopting new approaches which are sustainable in nature.

Has the Torah been “done away with”? — Hebrews 8 explained

What human deigns to have the hubris and audacity to break the immutable laws of YHVH Elohim, the Creator of the Universe, and then to call it righteousness?????

I just received this comment from a Christian minister who is well known in certain circles and who, over the decades, has done commendable work in opposing wickedness and promoting righteousness in America.

You’re a good advocate for your own perspective, and have provided a great historical outline on the rise of Hellenic thinking in the church. I’ll use some of this in my debates with Roman Catholics. BUT this is not (as you laudably acknowledge) objective scholarship on the question of keeping the Torah. You have entirely avoided Hebrews as a source, which is arguably the most relevant to this topic of all the Epistles.  Your thesis is directly challenged by Hebrews 8, for example.  In my view, keeping the law voluntarily is a matter of personal liberty, and some people benefit from maximum structure in their lives, and for all believers there is great benefit from knowing and being influenced by the Torah.  But leading people back under the Mosaic law as an obligation IS Judaizing — a term that (as used today) defines a concept with much broader Scriptural support than you admit.

Here is my initial response to to Scott’s comment:

Well hello Scott! Welcome to my blog. I followed your and Lon’s ministry for years when you lived in Oregon, and even met you once decades ago when your office was located in my hometown, and I have appreciated your bold stand in your fight against abortion and the homosexual agenda.

With regard to my article to which you make reference, no, I didn’t cover Hebrews 8 in this particular piece. As a writer, you well know that it’s not possible to cover every facet of every topic including all of the relevant Scriptures on any biblical subject in one article, otherwise the article would be a long book and not an article. I cover Hebrews, Galatians, Romans and everything other scriptural passage in the Bible on the subject of the Torah in many of the 500 some videos on my You Tube channel, some 100 articles on our website and some 2000 articles on this blog.

Moreover, what you call Judaizing I call righteous obedience to the immutable commandments of YHVH Elohim. Judaizing is a term, as you know, that goes back to a Greek word in the NT. However, the early church fathers grossly misunderstood the writings of Paul (largely thanks to the influence of Marcion the heretic who was an anti-Jewish Torah-hater), even as Peter admits in his second epistle was occurring in his day. For Paul, Judaizing WAS NOT obedience to the Torah, or else all of Paul’s pro-Torah statements are nonsensical and contradictory. No, rather for Paul, Judaising was saying that obedience to Torah was mandatory as a requirement for salvation. This was the main thesis of the book of Galatians and the subject of the first Jerusalem Council in Acts 15. However, once saved according to the whole council of Scripture, one is duty bound to follow the Torah, which tells us how, as Paul states in Romans 13, how to fulfill the Torah, and as Yeshua states in the Gospels, how to love Elohim and our neighbor. Following the Torah is simply the fruit of the Spirit, while disobedience to it is the works of the flesh as Paul outlines in Galatians five. You see, Scott, you, to your credit, already follow much of YHVH’s Torah law. You don’t steal, murder, commit adultery, lie, covet, worship idols and so on. Where most people have a problem is with the Sabbath, biblical feasts and biblical dietary laws. These last three were the first biblical commands the ante-Nicene church fathers jettisoned because they were “too Jewish,” and the church has followed their errant ways ever since. If obeying YHVH’s Torah is Judaizing as you say, then so is not stealing, lying, coveting, murdering, etc. It’s simple logic. As James indicates, the YHVH’s Torah-laws all stand and fall together (Jas 2:10). As John states in chapter three of his first epistle, the Torah defines what sin is. So how can not sinning be a bad thing? Beyond this, to take a pick and choose approach to Torah-obedience is to follow the lie of the serpent at the tree of knowledge and to question Elohim as to what he has told us to do and to determine for ourselves what aspects of Elohim’s Word are valid and relevant for us or not. This, as Francis Schaeffer defines it, is the basis for the modern concept of secular humanism.

With regard to Hebrews chapter eight, I have addressed this chapter in my other writings, and I will do so again for your benefit on my blog right now. I invite you to go to it where you will find my response to your kind protestation.

Blessings and thank you for you comments. It has allowed me the occasion to deal with issues that keep needing to be addressed due to the misunderstandings of Scripture in mainstream, traditional Christianity.

From Natan Lawrence’s commentary on the Bible

Hebrews 8:6, Better covenant … better promises. (See Heb 9:11–15.) In the Greek, the word better is kreitton meaning “more useful, more serviceable, more advantageous, more excellent.” The Renewed Covenant is a better covenant for the reasons discussed in the notes in verse eight. In 2 Cor 3:7 calls it “the ministry of the Spirit” and refers to it as “more glorious” than the former covenant. The Renewed Covenant comes with Yeshua’s promise that from within our heart the Set-Apart Spirit will empower and lead us into all truth. Moreover, under the Renewed Covenant, the promise of salvation resulting in eternal life in the kingdom of Elohim is spelled out more clearly. The Renewed Covenant also carries with it relief from the penalty of the law, which is death, for those who put their faith in Yeshua’s atoning and substitutionary death (see notes at 2 Cor 3:7). Through the Spirit and blood of Yeshua, one’s sin conscience is now cleansed in that the guilt from sin is removed (Heb 9:14). Also, as discussed in the verse eight notes, the covenant (or contract) is the actual agreement between two parties. The terms and conditions of a covenant (or contract) are something else. Torah was the terms and conditions of YHVH’s agreement between himself and his people. When the author here uses phrase like “better covenant,” this in no way implies that the Torah has been abrogated. If this were true, then this flies in the face of what is said elsewhere in the Testimony of Yeshua to the contrary (e.g. Matt 5:17–19; Acts 21:24; 24:14; 25:8; Rom 3:31; 7:14; 1 John 2: 3–6; 3:4; Rev 12:17; 14:17; 22:14).

Hebrews 8:8, Finding fault with them. What was the fault of the first covenant? The Torah-law of Elohim, or the people who failed to abide by the terms of the covenant, i.e, the Torah? The next verse gives us the answer: “because they continued not in my covenant…” The Israelites were at fault.

Christmas in May

Jeremiah 10:2–5,

A Christmas Tree?

Is this passage a denunciation of the Christmas tree? Some say yes, and others so no. Let’s briefly discuss this issue.

The use of trees or wooden poles as an object of worship in the ancient world was universal as a fertility/phallic symbol. The Bible strongly condemns involvement with this pagan custom. Obviously the tree of Jer 10 is not a Christmas tree, since Christmas as we know it didn’t enter into Christianity until about the late fifth century AD. However, the pagan implications of the Christmas tree are clear as evidenced by history, which is why it was outlawed by the Puritans and many other religious groups in America. It was not until the 1850s with many Germans migrating to America with their Christmas tree tradition that Christmas became popularized again in this country.

The scriptures advise us to abstain from all appearances of evil. At the very least, because of its pagan connotation, a Christmas tree is an appearance of evil. Furthermore, where in the Bible do we find any examples of YHVH’s people reclaiming a pagan tradition, sanitizing it, and them practicing it? This occurred only when Israel was in a state of apostasy or was attempting to syncretize the religion of the Bible with the pagan practices of the surrounding nations.

True, many things in our daily lives have been tainted by paganism. If we were to toss out everything that fits that category, we probably wouldn’t be able to say anything, wear anything, eat anything, or do anything! What we are to throw out are those things that the Bible forbids, anything that is indigenously pagan, or anything that leads us away from YHVH and his Word.

Often our view of the Scriptures is filtered through our emotions. We all struggle with this spiritual disease. When we’re extremely partial to a belief or an idea, we have a hard time conforming our lives to those Scriptures that disagree with us. Thus, we have a spiritual blind spot. For many, Christmas has become a spiritual blind spot because it is so ingrained in our families and the culture. It is perhaps the hardest thing for people to let go of because of family and emotional ties. Each of us has to make the choice: do we love the praises of family or the praises of Elohim more (John 12:43)?

Some might accuse those who see Jeremiah 10 as a denunciation of the Christmas tree of prooftexting. By definition, a prooftext is a biblical passage used to support a theological argument or position. It can’t be denied that Jeremiah 10 is the perfect description of what has come to be known as a Christmas tree. This is not prooftexting, this is fact. The Word of Elohim says don’t do it. This is fact. I didn’t make it up, I just read it and believe it. Furthermore, to view Jeremiah 10 as a stand alone scripture or prooftext is incorrect. When Jeremiah 10 is placed against the larger context of the heathen practices of the Gentile cultures around ancient Israel, and against the Bible’s repeated prohibitions against (a) Israel’s adopting pagan religious practices of any kind, and (b) more specifically, not bringing into Israel the worship of the pagan fertility symbols of which the tree was a central object, YHVH’s prohibition against the Jeremiah 10 tree was much wider and broader implications. Basically, YHVH says “don’t do it,” and for me that settles it. YHVH wants a people for his own who will unquestioningly obey his word; who are of a contrite heart and tremble before (i.e., obey) his word (Isa 66:2).

Elohim has given us seven biblical feasts that we can do that will bring glory and honor to him. Let’s practice and rejoice in what he has given us.

Godly Vs. Earthly Wisdom: Knowing the Difference

James 3:13–18, Who is wise. There is no mention here of academic degrees and titles as the basis for determining who is a wise and understanding person. This is how the world and the biblically and spiritually uninformed determine these things. Even the devil can quote scripture and appear to be spiritually astute (Luke 4:9–11). This passage states that a wise and understanding person is known by his good conduct and by the works that he does in meekness and wisdom.

To the carnally minded individual, outward appearance and notable achievements (as determined by human standards) are what matters. The character of the individual matters little. On the contrary, this is not how YHVH judges a person, nor is it how his servants are to judge a person. Judgment is to based on righteousness and not on outward appearance (1 Sam 16:7; John 7:24).

James 3:13–18, The wisdom that is from above versus the wisdom from below. In this passage, James discusses heavenly versus demonic wisdom. Did you ever wonder how to tell the difference between the voice of Elohim speaking to you, and the voice the world, the flesh and the devil? This passage gives us some guidelines on how to differentiate between the four voices that are trying to influence our minds and hearts.

Let’s first establish the fact that Yeshua wants to talk to his spiritual sheep. In John chapter four, Yeshua declares that he is the Good Shepherd, and that his sheep hear and know his voice, that he calls them by name, and that he leads them spiritually and they follow him (John 10:3–4). At the same time, someone else is vying for his sheep’s attention—the thief. Yes, the thief wants to lead Yeshua’s sheep astray, for his intention is to kill, steal and to destroy (John 10:1, 8, 10), while the Good Shepherd wants to save and protect the sheep (John 10:9, 11, 14).

Throughout the pages of the Bible we read the record of YHVH Elohim speaking to his servants and leading them. Yeshua makes it clear that he is still speaking to and leading his sheep, and the book of Acts and the Epistles confirm this.

So how does this passage in James help us to hear and to follow the voice of YHVH-Yeshua, the Good Shepherd? When we get thoughts and impressions that we think are the leading of Elohim’s Set-Apart Spirit, we must first determine their origin by putting them to the spiritual test. Is what we are hearing wisdom or knowledge that is from above, or is it wisdom or knowledge is from below—that is earthly (of this world), sensual (from the carnal mind of man) or devilish (from the demonic realm, Jas 3:13–15)? How do we know its origin? James tells us. The wisdom that is from below is envious, selfish or self-seeking, engenders confusion, and produces evil, while that which is from above is pure, peaceable, gentle,willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and hypocrisy, and it produces righteousness (Jas 3:16–18).

General Overview of the Book of Numbers (B’midbar)

The English name Numbers derives from the fact that in this book the Israelites are counted or numbered on several occasions (see chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 26). Leviticus ends with YHVH instructing his people to count their flocks for tithe purposes, while Numbers begins with YHVH, as the ultimate Good Shepherd (or in Hebrews, YHVH Rohee), counting the Israelites themselves, who are the sheep of his pasture (Pss 74:1; 79:13; 95:7; 100:3). The fact that this counting took place in the wilderness proves that it was not for political or national economic reasons, but was in fulfillment of YHVH’s Torah instructions. Each Israelite was to give a half-shekel of silver toward the maintenance of the tabernacle. The shekels then counted would give the exact number of Israelites (Exod 30:12–16).

The Hebrew name B’midbar meaning “in the wilderness” originates from the fact that this book chronicles Israel’s wandering in the wilderness. The book of Exodus, on the other hand, records the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, its establishment as a nation, its covenantal relationship with YHVH and the construction of the tabernacle (mishkan), which was the symbol of YHVH dwelling or tabernacling in the midst of his chosen people. The Book of Leviticus deals with the inner workings of that tabernacle and the mechanics of how sinful man could maintain a right spiritual relationship with a righteous Elohim. This was accomplished through the agency of the Levitical priesthood that would function within the tabernacle as a human intermediary between man and his Creator.

The book of Numbers covers much of Israel’s forty years wandering in the wilderness and recounts the early years of this nation under YHVH’s theocratic rule. Recorded are Israel’s triumphs and defeats, its obedience and disobedience to YHVH’s rule of law and the resulting consequences whether blessing or curses.

In this book, we see several main subdivisions. Chapters 1:1–10:10 cover instructions from YHVH to Israel while still at Mount Sinai. Chapters 10:11–36:13 cover the Israelite’s actual wilderness journey. The second section dealing with the wilderness journey has two main parts: the perishing in the wilderness of the older generation (Num 10:11–25:18), and the preparation of the second generation of Israelites to enter the Promised Land (chapters 26–36).

Reoccurring themes in the book of Numbers include the continual murmuring of Israelites and the divine punishment on them as a result. YHVH made promises to care for them and lead them into the Promised Land. Instead of having faith and trust in him, with few exceptions, the Israelites exhibited doubt and unbelief in YHVH. As a result, the entire older generation, with the exception of faithful Joshua and Caleb, perished in the wilderness never to realize the promises YHVH had made to them concerning the Promised Land. This is a poignant lesson for all believers in their faith walk. The spiritual application of this lesson is not missed by the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews in chapter four of that book. When YHVH makes promises, his people need to embrace those promises with enthusiastic and optimistic faith and never let them go. After all, if we cannot trust our Creator, then who or what can we trust?

In this book, we see revealed the grace of YHVH, that he is longsuffering and slow to anger (Num 14:20–38), but that he is also just, and as a father, he disciplines those he loves. His judgments are measured and progressive. The more his children refuse to obey him and resist him, the stronger the judgments. Eventually, the older generation of Israelites died off in the wilderness. This teaches us that death is the final judgment against the sin of rebellion and unbelief. There are no eternal rewards or spiritual inheritance for those who refuse to take hold of YHVH’s promises and to go forward in faith and faithful obedience to him.

We see the work and person of the future Yeshua the Messiah in the book of Numbers as well. As Provider, he meets all of Israel’s needs both physical and spiritual. Paul reveals that Yeshua was the spiritual Rock that gave them water in the wilderness (1 Cor 10:4). Twice, Israel received water from the rock (Exod 17:1–7 and Num 20:1–13). Additionally, the secular prophet, Balaam, prophesied about the Messiah who was to rise out of Israel like a star (Num 24:17). Leading rabbinic Jews sages, such as Akiva ben Joseph of the early modern era, mistakenly applied this verse to the Jewish zealot, Bar Kokhba, when he endeavored to throw off the yoke of Roman rule over the Jewish people during the Second Jewish Revolt of A.D. 133–135.

The Works of the Law Vs. the Works of Faith Explained

James 2:20–24, Faith without works is dead. James is referring here to the works of faith, not the works of the law. No man can live a good enough life to be saved by his Torah-obedience or the works of the law (Rom 3:20, 28; Gal 2:16; 3:11).

At the same time, faith in Elohim is more than just mental ascent—“a knowing in your heart.” It has to be backed up by action (and we’re not talking about the works of the law). For example, when Elohim told Abraham to leave Babylon or to sacrifice Isaac, he obeyed by leaving that country and moving to Canaan.

Moreover, many were healed in Yeshua’s ministry because they had faith in the Master and backed that faith up with corresponding action, which was the evidence of their faith. This faith-action continuum had nothing to do with Torah-obedience per se, but had everything to do with “putting your money where your mouth is” by backing up your faith or belief with action.

It is this kind of faith that James is talking about here, and this in no wise contradicts the teachings of Paul who said that no man is justified by the works of the law. When Paul declares in Ephesians 2:8–9, “For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of Elohim, not of works…,” he was correct and not opposed to James. What’s more, Paul goes on to say in verse 10, “For we are [Elohim’s] workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works…that we should walk in them.” These good works (i.e. obedience to the Torah) are the fruits, evidence or proof of our salvation and are the works that back up our faith.

So, in summary, the Bible teaches that we need the faith (a heart that believes and wants to obey Elohim) to lead us to salvation, as well as the works of faith after we have received Elohim’

The Truth Behind the Rich Men of the World and Their Castles, Palaces and Mansions

Dunrobin Castle, Scotland

James 1:10, The rich.

Castles, palaces and mansions dot the landscape in many regions of Europe. These edifices are silent monuments of the wealth that has been concentrated into the hands of a few over the millennia. The sizes of these homes are staggering. It becomes especially evident when one tours these palatial residences—some of which boast hundreds of rooms and vast acreages. What are castles, palaces and mansions really all about? What’s behind it all. How does YHVH Elohim view what they represent? These are the questions I found myself asking on my recent trip to the British Isles, Ireland and Paris.

Kensington Palace, London

In many cities you visit, the castles, palaces and mansions of the wealthy “elite” top the list of the most popular tourist attractions. Everyone wants to experience the lifestyles of the rich and powerful if only vicariously. People the world over flock to them in droves as they purchase their tickets, board buses and often travel great distances to some remote and exclusive location with commanding view on a mountain or cliff top,  beach or lake side or some other venerable piece of real estate, where they will spend the better part of a day touring the extravagant grounds, gardens and residences. We did! Some palaces are so elite that photography is even forbidden. It’s hard not be awed at the sight of throne rooms, mirrored ballrooms with frescoed ceilings and dozens of yards of rich tapestries, exotic wood carvings and paneling and marbled flooring and enormous art galleries with paintings up to the gilded ceilings.

The Louvre Palace, Paris

But all of this richness is, in reality, a pathetically thin veneer covering, in most cases, a sinister and evil side of palaces, castles and mansions. The tour guides, while giving the awestruck tourist the front story, will every so often allude to the backstory of how these wealthy “elite” obtained their vast lands and wealth. Yes, this background information paints a completely different story that betrays the rich but superficial patina of tree lined boulevards leading up to these grand estates as you drive past the high stone walls and gate houses, through the wrought iron gates to these homes surrounded by formal botanical gardens with their lakes, fountains, statuary and Greek-styled columned verandas, porticos and even garden sheds.

Yes, the tour guides don’t want to ruin the fun for their bedazzled paying guests, but the honest guides, when pressed with questions, will let slip out the truth of how these rich folks often acquired their land, and it’s not a pretty picture—certainly not as nice as the homes they left behind.

Inside Trump’s Approach To Appear At “Howdy, Modi!”: Faraway places Media

    Inside Trump’s Approach To Appear At “Howdy, Modi!”: Faraway places Media

    The rally for PM Modi gives Trump with access to a capacity pool of Indian American voters

    US President Donald Trump heads to Harris County, Texas, this weekend to a predominant rally earlier than next week’s United Countries Traditional Assembly – for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The safe location for the “Howdy, Modi” rally boasts that the “dwell viewers will be essentially the necessary gathering for an invited foreign chief visiting the United States as opposed to the Pope”: Some 50,000 of us, many from Houston’s colossal Indian community, are expected to flip out.

    It is leer-popping that leaders of the enviornment’s two greatest democracies are showing collectively at such an match – no longer to mention that this particular American president will be preserving courtroom in the epicenter of Texas’s blue wave and essentially the most diverse city in The usa.

    You are no longer imperfect while you assume that does no longer sound like friendly territory for Trump. But that’s a solid political motive for him to scurry: Democrats are making a immense play for Texas in 2020 and Republicans are rising concerned. The rally for PM Modi gives Trump with access to a capacity pool of Indian American voters that would flip out to be extreme in next one year’s presidential elections.

    – “Texas is a battleground,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, talked about at a breakfast hosted by The Christian Science Show screen final week. “The some distance left is pissed off. They dislike the president and that is the reason a highly effective motivator.”

    – There might be seemingly no situation that hates the president extra in Texas than Harris County, which “entirely inverted in 2016” from red to blue. Trump misplaced the county by 12 percentage points in 2016 – and feeble Congressman Beto O’Rourke followed up with a 17 point bewitch over Cruz of their 2018 Senate dart.

    – And it is an fundamental county, Republicans acknowledge: “Effectively, they convey while you lose Harris County, you lose Texas . . . That is the deal,” Charlotte Lampe, a Cypress precinct chairwoman concerned in the county’s Republican Party for a few years told the Texas Tribune’s Abby Livingston. “If this turns, so follows Texas due to we’re a immense focus of conservative voters.”

    No longer-so-odd bedfellows: Trump and PM Modi are, in many ways, crop from the same cloth – dazzling-drift populist leaders that plod mountainous crowds with immense personalities, who delight in faced been criticized for polarizing their country’s electorates. But it no doubt’s a immense gamble for Trump to bet PM Modi’s recognition at home – and among diaspora communities abroad – will translate to enhance for Trump.

    – “Piece of what makes it complex for Indian-People is that they map no longer like Trump for essentially the most fragment and yet they like PM Modi,” Karthick Ramakrishnan, a professor of public policy at the College of California, Riverside and the director of AAPIData.com, a policy compare and details firm that eager on Asians and Pacific Islanders, told the Washington Publish. “They bristle against the form of nationalism that Trump represents here in The usa, but then they aloof increase Modi no topic what he is doing in India. So, there is some ideological inconsistency there, but that’s the form of complex world that we dwell in.”

    – Ramakrishnan predicts the joint appearance “doubtlessly helps blunts a number of the story that Trump is a racist president” held among many Indian People: “I map no longer know the way winning he’ll be in changing that story, nonetheless it no longer no longer as a lot as changes the image fairly bit.”

    But Texas Democrats are no longer optimistic that Trump’s message will resonate. “I map no longer assume the crew will be very receptive to what he has to lisp,” Abhi Rahman, the communications director for the Texas Democratic Party, told The Publish.

    – Key quote: “The Indian-American community thoroughly rejected Trump in 2016 and ought to map so again in 2020,” added Rahman, who is of Indian descent, “as the Indian community values inclusion and diversity and the capacity to originate something of your self on this country, whereas Trump has incited dislike and racial division.”

    – Worry for Trump: Asian People – the quickest rising predominant racial or ethnic neighborhood in the U.S.– for the reason that 1990s delight in continuously voted Democratic. And Indian-People are seemingly to be some of essentially the most innovative. “A majority of Indian People are Democrats: 77 per cent of the diaspora, which has a median income of extra than $100,000, voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016,” per Faraway places Coverage.

    – Yikes: In essentially the most most well-liked pollto delight in a colossal ample Indian-American sample, performed earlier than the midterms, handiest 28% permitted of the job Trump used to be doing.

    Trump’s campaign, nonetheless, is undeterred. A campaign spokesperson talked about Trump’s consult with falls squarely into the campaign’s Texas strategy: “The Indian American community has a colossal entrepreneurial industry spirit, which falls per President Trump’s job-development agenda.”

    – Richard Rossow, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and Global Experiences, argued that the Indian diaspora viewers is on the general an ultimate aim for Trump: “For Trump, it is a rising, affluent demographic – they despicable at or near the live of the checklist by formulation of wealthiest teams in the U.S. and Indian companies are investing an increasing kind of in the U.S. … There are many causes it is now not a unsuitable crowd for the president to scurry receive in front of.”

    – Trump, who loves immense crowds, might well also hitch to the crew’s increase for PM Modi: “We have got to acknowledge what a spectacle here’s,” Milan Vaishnav, who heads the South Asia program at the Carnegie Endowment for Global Peace, told our colleague Joanna Slater.

    More on the political image in Texas: The final Democrat to bewitch Texas used to be Jimmy Carter in 1976 but the Democratic Party of Texas, bullish on their prospects after a spate of most well-liked statewide victories, launched its notion to flip the negate blue in 2020 in the foundation of the month.

    Trump’s appearance this weekend comes after a sequence of consecutive polls delight in confirmed him shedding to a Democratic presidential candidate in the negate. Per a Quinnipiac Polllaunched final week, 50 per cent of voters in the Lone Famous particular person negate dislike of Trump and 48 per cent of Texans surveyed convey “they could undoubtedly no longer vote for Trump if he used to be the Republican nominee.”

    In terms of global politics: Trump’s appearance alongside PM Modi nods to the importance to the US-India relationship.

    – “The US relationship with India has form of been on a large upward trajectory for roughly 15 years now,” Jeff Smith, a compare fellow at the Heritage Basis’s Asian Experiences Center. “Actually, President Trump’s first one year and a half in situation of business and no doubt most Prime Minister Modi’s first duration of time had been remarkably productive for US-India relatives. Alternate has grown significantly and a sequence of moves delight in been made to cement the strategic and defense partnership.”

    There might be also the non-public rapport between the enviornment leaders who delight in in an analogous vogue new themselves as outsiders to politics: “They in actuality feel they delight in better connections with colossal disaffected teams of of us,” CSIS’s Rossow told us. “And they also map no longer no doubt feel attached to policymaking. That is exhibited itself in irregular and diverse ways … but the nefarious, and who they assume they’re talking to, is same.”

    But for your total esteem between the two leaders, there delight in been tensions over the final one year. The US didn’t attain a alternate take care of India earlier this one year and imposed tariffs on Indian steel and aluminium imports. The Trump administration also weighed the capacity for imposing sanctions for India’s utilize of Iranian oil and further penalties for getting Russian defense force instruments. Smith says it is a signal of “how some distance the connection has matured” that the international locations delight in done with out a breaking point despite all these “friction points.” India has since effectively crop off Iranian oil.

    The joint appearance also suggests that the two sides are nearing a alternate deal: “I map no longer assume they delight in a closing equipment sewed up yet but there is an affordable likelihood they’ll delight in some deliverables in Houston and even when the two meet in Contemporary York,” Rossow told us.

    – “Of us briefed on alternate talks between the United States and India talked about negotiations had been fluid,” the Contemporary York Instances’s Ana Swanson, Ben Dooley, and Vindu Goel document. “But India had beforehand seemed engrossing to lift away some restrictions on American farm products and limit its 20 per cent tariff on imported electronic goods to a maximum of 5,000 rupees, or about $70. That might well wait on American companies like Apple, whose iPhone XR now sells for roughly $600 in the United States, but extra than $800 in India.

    – “In return, India is seeking to revive a diverse alternate establish of residing for establishing international locations that Mr Trump revoked at the live of Also can merely. That program had allowed billions of greenbacks of Indian products, in conjunction with apparel and auto parts, to attain reduction into the United States duty free.”

Relationship Between Activity Level and Happiness

Relationship Between Activity Level and Happiness Correlation Study of the Relationship between Three Variables Introduction Personality is one of the key things that psychologists assess, and it is comprised of various things. Happiness, activity-level and sociability are key aspects in the life of every person, and they differ from person to person. These are one of the components of a personÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s personality, and there are various causes of the differences in these key life elements. There are considerable differences between males, and females, and it shows that gender impact a number of aspects in the lives of people. Age also has an impact on these aspects, and there are notable variations as a person ages. International personality item pool test is a tool that is used in psychology to assess various aspects of an individual. It was created in the year 1999 by Goldberg, and the aspects that it assesses are emotional stability, agreeableness, openness, extraversion, and conscientiousness. These are personality elements that psychologists can use when describing an individual. It was a tool that was aimed at standardising the peopleÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s psychological assessment, and it contains 50 questions. The five elements that it contains are divided into six subscales. It is a tool that has been widely used by researchers when looking at the differences between ethnic groups; genders; and age groups. Gender and age have an influence on happiness, activity-level and sociability. These aspects can be summed up in the personality elements that are assessed using the international item pool test. There is considerable change that occurs in a personÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s level of activity as they age. This change usually starts to occur as a person enters school and it usually a decline. The decline continues until it reaches a level where a person has a sedentary lifestyle when he or she is old. The activity level between males and females is different with the latter having a less level than the former. There are researchers who however attribute this difference to be because of socialisation rather than the biological differences between the two sexes. Age has an impact on the level of happiness, and researchers have found various results when comparing the young and the elderly in terms of their level of happiness. Cooper et al. (2011) found that there are various factors that determine the level of happiness in various age groups. There is a proposed happiness factor that increases as a person passes the age of 46, and this impacted by things like age, gender, and external circumstances. The level of happiness between men and women is different, but is difficult to clearly state that one gender in happier than the other. There are men who are happier than women, and the same is true for women. This is because happiness in the current environment is determines by factors that affect both men and women in equal measure. This is unlike in the past where many women were restricted by the traditional gender roles, and this made a lot of them unhappy. Sociability is a key trait that individuals possess, and it is different between two people. Men are usually more sociable than women because of the freedoms that they have from the time that they are small. In childhood, there are fewer restrictions that are placed on boys on what they can do as compared to girls. Sociability also differs between the young and the old, with a majority of the young people being more sociable. As people age, many become lonely and are not able to move about easily as they did when in years past because of illness, or aging body. Discussion A negative correlation between the level of activity, and happiness was found, and this is similar with the results of some studies that show that old people are happier than the young. This similarity is because those who are old have been shown to have a reduced level of activity. The increased level of happiness in old age has been attributed to having a lifelong partner, and the decrease in responsibility like children who grow up, and leave the homes to become independent. The study also found out that the score of happiness decreased as the score of sociability increased, and this is an inverse relationship. This finding is supported by research that shows that the old people are not as sociable as the young, but they are happier. Various literatures have shown that there age has an impact on the level of happiness, and even though the elderly are lonely, they still live a happy life that is not mainly focused on the interaction with various people. The results however differ with others findings, which show that the young people are happy because they are able to socialise with various people. It also contradicts other research that found that women are less happy in certain settings because the society places restrictions on them regarding their level of socialisation. The difference in the amount of activity between men and women leads to a contradiction of the findings of the study because some studies have shown that men and women in the current world setup are equally happy because of increasing equality. This disproves the findings that the level of activity may have an influence on the level of happiness as was seen in the results of the study. This would mean that men are less happy than women because they are more active, and yet other studies have not been able to show this correlation. The results also showed that there is no significant level of difference of activity between the two genders. This contradicts the findings of other researchers, which have shown that there is considerable difference in the level of activity between men and women. Many studies show that men are more physically active than women, and they tend to take tasks that require a lot of physical activity. From this, it is hard to link the results of this study to what was previously found. The difference is due to genetics, and the musculature of men as compared to that of women, and the results of the study, therefore, shows that even though there is a genetic and biological difference, the level of activity is nearly the same. It was also found that those who are below the age of 60 years have nearly the same level of activity as those who are above the age of 60 years. This totally disagrees with the findings of many studies that show that the level of activity decreases as a person ages. Past results, therefore, show that those who are above the age of 60 are less physically active than those who are below the age of 60. These results are disputed by past findings that show that as a person ages, there are physical changes that occur that lead to a reduction in the amount of physical activity that they can perform. This is the reason many people who are above 60 years of age live a sedentary lifestyle. The results of the study that were aimed at looking at the age and gender differences in the level of happiness, activity level; and sociability differ with a majority of research that have been conducted. There are, however, studies that have found similar findings and show that there may not be major changes in the activity level between men and women. Researches with similar findings as the study also show that a high level of activity may have a negative impact on happiness. This may be true when focusing on the traditional roles of women who were unhappy with the many duties that were placed on them by the society.

Turning grey is part of life – like periods, cellulite, and stretch marks – it’s inevitable! But that doesn’t mean you can’t keep those greys away a little longer if you do the right things. The good thing is, grey hair is super on-trend right now (let’s hope that trend doesn’t go away), so if you’re already getting silver highlights, why not own it – at least you won’t need to worry about touching up your roots! Just look how dope founder of Mood hair, Nyane looks…

A post shared by Nyané Lebajoa (@nyane) on

… Someone pass us the grey hair dye.

Why you’re going grey

As we age, our bodies produce less melanin, which is the pigment found in our hair follicles responsible for its color – no pigment equals grey hairs. So, as we age and our melanin levels decrease, we produce less pigment and therefore more grey hairs.

When will you go grey?

If you’re 30 and you have no signs of white, consider yourself lucky, as this is when most women start to see grey hairs emerging, if not before! By the time we hit our 50s, most women are expected to have nearly 50% grey hairs. Factors like genetics also play a big role, so if your mamma went grey in her 20s, it’s more likely you’ll start to notice white hairs earlier on as well. Ethnicities also play a role too: Caucasians show signs first (mid-30s), then Asians (late-30s), and finally women of color (40s). Health conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues (which effects hormones), anemia, and vitamin B12 deficiencies can all cause premature greying.

Via Giphy

… You can always try platinum blonde to hide your greys.

How you can slow the greying process

The truth is, your genetics will determine the time your hair starts to go grey, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t try to delay the process. What you eat, your hormones, and stress can also make an impact, and not just on the health of your hair. A balanced diet is super important and because hair is a protein fiber, getting lots of it is crucial. Fish is both a source of protein and Omega-3s, which are amazing for hair health. Supplements containing copper could also help, as copper boosts the production of melanin – or you can eat crab, lobster, prawns and oily fish, like salmon – you do you! Finally, as well as a balanced diet (check out how to get the most healthy hair here), avoiding smoking will work in your hair’s favor! Studies have proved that smokers are nearly three times more likely to experience premature greying than non-smokers.

If you’re only just starting to get grey hairs but enough that it’s bothering you, we recommend getting highlights. If the grey hairs are coming fast, semi-permanent dyes are a good way to subtly cover grey hairs, and will mean you’ll avoid the harsh line you can get at your roots when you use permanent hair dyes.

Our top tip? Own your hair, whatever color it is!

With everyone staying home to flatten the curve, the Hudson Valley has become a virtual ghost town.

While there are signs of life at grocery stores and other necessary businesses, the usually bustling area is eerily quiet. Photographer Scott Snell of SDSImagery.com sent up his drone to capture images of empty stores, parking lots and roads. These photos demonstrate just how different things are today than they were just a few weeks ago.

Listen to the Wakin' Up With CJ and Jess Show weekday mornings from 6AM to noon on The Wolf. Stream us live through the website, Alexa-enabled device, Google Home or The Wolf mobile app.

A search for dark matter in the galactic halo

Dark matter is supposedly everywhere in our Universe, accounting for many of its properties, such as the rotational velocity of galaxies or even the pattern of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. In our galaxy, the Milky Way, dark matter might constitute up to 95% of all matter, with its borders extending far beyond the visible disk. This is the so-called dark matter halo.

The quest for galactic halo dark matter includes high-energy neutrino searches that might be produced by the self-annihilation of dark matter particles in our galaxy. If this is the case, IceCube should observe a characteristic anisotropy in the neutrino flux due to the additional dark-matter induced neutrinos. So far, the IceCube Collaboration has not found any significant deviation from the background expectation, following new results that have been submitted today to The European Physical Journal C.

On the left, sky map of reconstructed neutrino arrival direction of the experimental data sample in equatorial coordinates. On the right, the dimensionless line-of-sight integral for the NFW profile is shown for the Northern Hemisphere in equatorial coordinates. The anisotropy in the line-of-sight integral causes the anisotropy in the expected flux of neutrinos from self-annihilation of dark matter in the Galactic halo. In both figures, the position of the Galactic Center is indicated by the cross. Images: Icecube Collaboration

Upgoing muon events were selected from data taken by the IceCube detector between June 2010 and May 2011. This selection eliminates most of the background events, since cosmic-ray induced muons will be absorbed by the Earth. The expected dark-matter neutrino flux is calculated using the Navarro, Frenk and White (NFW) model as a baseline, and the model dependence, estimated from the Burkett model, has been found to be small. The main uncertainties are associated with the optical efficiency of the IceCube sensors and the optical properties of the Antarctic ice (estimated to be in the 15-30% range).

“The paper presents a new technique, using a multipole expansion of the neutrino arrival direction sky map, that is an ideal way to search for anisotropies in the sky. It is a very flexible and robust method. Furthermore, it provides an easy way to reduce special systematic uncertainties,” explains René Reimann, an IceCube researcher at RWTH Aachen.

As no signal was observed, IceCube researchers set up exclusion limits on the self-annihilation cross-section, which improve the ones obtained in a previous analysis and are competitive with the ones obtained from gamma experiments. These limits are set for a generic candidate for dark matter, a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP), with a mass range from a hundred GeV to GeV.

Celebrating Shame

I get it. Celebrating shame sounds like a complete oxymoron.

Why would you do such a thing as celebrate the qualities of yourself that you judge? After all, if you didn’t have these shameful qualities, all would be great in your world, right?

This is exactly what your ego/inner critic wants you to believe.

Your ego has been with you for quite some time, trying to make sense of why things haven’t worked out in your life. Unbeknownst to you, while you are very young, you start to form hypoth-esizes as to how it could be that you didn’t receive something you desired. Because you aren’t able to sort out what happened to you consciously, the typical end conclusion you begin to form is that there is something wrong with you.

Whatever you conclude is wrong with you gets imprinted in your subconscious as a negative belief about yourself (and often life as well). With your shame wired deep within your subcon-scious, your ego convinces you that in order to get what you desire from life, you are better off hiding this imperfection of yours.

What happens is you spend a lot of unconscious energy trying to keep this aspect of you that you believe is shameful hidden. Living life trying to hide your shame isn’t just exhausting, it doesn’t work. You work hard to try to stuff this part of you away, only for you to get triggered and it comes out sideways.

Now the ego has a hold on you with so called “proof” that it’s these shameful aspects that keep you away from your desired result. The reality is it’s our perception that is causing the same types of unconscious reactions within you. This is why no matter how hard you try things re-main the same.

To begin to shift this wiring that has taken root well before you were 7, we need to bring forward the shame, rather than keep it hidden.

If you resist your shame, it will persist. A shift will begin to occur if you are able to recognize what is actually a gift about the aspects of self you find faulty. I promise it is worth doing.

This month we are going to go inward and set the record straight about your shame. I hope you are game!

‘Name Your Shame’ Game:

Here is a list of what I call Hall of Fame Shame Themes:

  • Unworthy
  • Incompetent
  • Unlovable
  • Not Good Enough
  • Useless
  • Selfish
  • Too Greedy
  • Too Sexual
  • Too Needy

At one point in my life, I felt each and every one of the above shame themes. While I can still have moments when I feel ashamed, they don’t run or control my life. In the past, the above shame would dictate what I would or wouldn’t do. Now, I see them for what they are and reclaim my truth.

Take the following steps to begin to heal your relationship with shame:

1. Which of the above shame themes do you carry?

2. How do they show up in your life?

3. What are the underlying negative messages about yourself that are tied into that shame?

4. What evidence do you have that this shame is correct?

5. What evidence do you have that this shame is incorrect?
