Have this mind among yourselves, which was in Christ Jesus: who though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant. – Phil. 2:5-7a
“I’ve given up on matching glasses or napkins on the table,” I sighed as I bemoaned the cheerfully haphazard approach my guys take to setting the table to a priest friend. “However much I empty myself, it seems there’s always more to give up.”
It seems almost irreverent to allude to St. Paul’s beautiful hymn to Christ’s humility and subsequent glory in the same breath as my frustrations about setting the dinner table. Yet the more I contemplate the challenge that Paul sets before us in this passage – that our call to be of Christ’s mind is a call to an utter poverty of self – the more I suspect it is as much about such everyday things as it is about a willingness to be a martyr.
Theologian Johannes Metz, in his exquisite book “Poverty of Spirit,” talks of the ways in which our everyday experiences lead us to a deeper experience of the surrender that God summons us to, as signposts in the desert. Poverty of spirit, this self-emptying that Christ undertakes, begins not with grand spiritual gestures, but with the commonplace.
“There is,” Metz says, “nothing heroic about it; it is the poverty of the common lot, devoid of ecstasy.” By its nature, this is not a poverty we can choose, but one where the choices are made for us. Like the choice of the glasses on the table.
In principle, I stand ready to offer my life for God. I imagine that with God’s grace I could face death for my faith with the equanimity of SS. Perpetua and Felicity, with the courage of St. Margaret Clitherow. In practice, I find my attachment to these everyday anxieties about glasses and napkins infinitely harder to surrender. Perhaps because these are not abstract things, like a martyrdom I am unlikely to face in 21st century Philadelphia, but all too concrete, all too present.
Or maybe my trouble with letting myself be stripped of even my own expectations is that I would prefer it to be done Flannery O’Connor style: quick. Like the girl in O’Connor’s short story, “A Temple of the Holy Ghost” who mused “She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick. She could stand to be shot, but not to be burned in oil.” I want my surrender to be over and done with, and in a manner of my own choosing.
This, of course, is precisely the point. To be of the same mind as Christ is to stand ready to empty ourselves in ways we do not expect, welcome or perhaps even recognize. In small things as in the momentous. Not once, but again and again. Perhaps even every night at the dinner table.
On Christ they do and on the martyr may;
But be the war within, the brand we wield
Unseen, the heroic breast not outward-steeled,
Earth hears no hurtle then from fiercest fray.
– Father Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J., from “In Honour of St. Alphonsous Rodriguez”

An incredible method to use venison, pork, or beef for a lazy Saturday snack in the backyard is to hang snack sticks in a smoker. Smoking these delicious snack sticks are the way to go, whether you’re cooking them for your kids or spicing up a birthday dinner.
But exactly, how to hang snack sticks in a smoker? In this article, we will try to share every single detail about how to hang snack sticks in a smoker.
Simply prepare the smoker, prepare the snack sticks (using around 80% meat and 20% fat), pack the meat into the casings, and hang the sausages on hooks in the smoker while keeping the door slightly open. Continue reading to find out more.
What Are Snack Sticks?
Snack Sticks are meat snacks and semi-dried sausage packed in a tiny diameter casing. Typically, a collagen casing is used; however, natural casings or even skinless snack sticks are fine.
These little slices of smoked sausage could provide a quick supply of protein. Take a few with you on a trip or stash one in your workout bag. Snack sticks fulfill mid-morning hunger pangs and may share after school, after work, or at any time.
Snack sticks suit the whole family with a selection of tasty options. This delicious snack fits a hectic lifestyle well, with flavors ranging from sweet to spicy and everything in between.
Benefits Of Hanging Snack Sticks In A Smoker
Racking and hanging are the two most frequent ways of making snack sticks at home. Both, however, have advantages and downsides.
Racking, for example, is more successful at properly cooking the meat, but it involves rotating the sticks now and again.
When the sticks are hung, the smoker creates greater space for air circulation. You also don’t have to keep rotating the sticks all the time.
More significantly, the hanging process guarantees that all ingredients tie together and that the tastes develop to their greatest potential.
Furthermore, hanging the sticks frees up space in the smoker for more meat without leaving any grill marks.
Overall, smoking snack sticks will provide a tasty feast for everyone to love.
How to Hang Snack Sticks In A Smoker?
To smoke the snack sticks, you need some ingredients. Let’s check them out in the below listing!
What You’ll Need To Smoke The Snack Sticks
Snack stick smoker
You may try- Pitt Boss grills
You may try- Oklahoma Joe’s Apple Wood Smoker Chips
You may try- KitchenAid Attachment Food Grinder
You may try- LEM Edible clear collagen casing
You may try- Regency Wraps Natural Cooking Twine
You can try- LEM Backwoods Hickory Seasoning.
There are some easy-peasy steps to follow to Hang snack sticks in a smoker. So, Let’s check out the steps first:
- Set the smoker
- Prepare the meat & stuffings
- Smoke the snack sticks
- Cool the snack sticks
- Store the snack sticks
1. Set the Smoker
Setting up the smoker for snack stick hanging is a simple process.
To begin, just remove the racks from the smoker and cut a 12-inch wooden stick to fit the width of your smoker.
Next, hang the sticks on the brackets that hold the upper shelf.
Then just suspend the looped sticks from the dowels and get ready to smoke.
2. Prepare the Meat & Stuffings
When it comes to meat preparation, you can hang snack sticks of any lean meat blended with fat. (the perfect ratio being 80:20 percent ).
Then, while trimming away extra fat and removing blood clots, cords, and other undesirable portions, crush the meat and fat via a grinder plate. The first grind should be with a 3/8-inch plate, and the second with a 1/8-inch grinder plate.
Next, put the meat in a mixing bowl, add the spices, and gently mix everything until it is equally distributed for perfect snack sticks.
The filling is required for the subsequent hanging of the snack sticks. You want to pack the meat into a casing no larger than 0.8 inches in diameter. The casings are often made of collagen or a natural sheep substance.
When filling the sticks and stuffing them into lengthy ropes, avoid leaving any air gaps. Of course, they shouldn’t be too long — they need to fit the smoker and not reach too close to the heater. Finally, after the snack sticks are inside the smokehouse, you may alter the length of the ropes.
The majority of the sausage will have dried by the time you finish filling it. Hang the sticks in a room heated to 90° F for an hour to allow the cure to absorb. Ensure that they do not come into contact with one other during the procedure. The dryer they become, the better they will be when they reach the smokehouse.
3. Smoke The Snack Sticks
After the snack sticks have been outside the smoker for a suitable amount of time, let them inside, leaving enough room between them. Because air needs to travel equally on both sides of the snack sticks, you don’t want the meat to cling together throughout the cooking process.
When you hang the snack sticks inside the smoker, insert a small pan at the bottom. It will assist in boosting humidity while also preventing your sticks from getting too dry.
After selecting your wood, hang the snack sticks or lay them on the rack in a preheated smoker (ideally at 125°) with the door slightly open. If your smoker cannot reach this low temperature, start with the lowest temperature possible and gradually increase it.
Cook the meat for about an hour and a half at this temperature. Then, slowly raise the temperature to 135° for one hour, followed by 155° for another hour.
Finally, hold the temperature at 165° until the sausages’ internal temperature reaches 160° F. It is to be done gradually. The entire procedure takes many hours.
If you skip the gradual temperature change and go directly to 160°, you’ll have a few issues. First, the meat will be excessively dry, and second, the outside of the sticks will be overcooked.
Ultimately, the sticks will have a burned ring on the outside and an uncooked middle.
As you can see, different cooking temperatures serve different objectives, such as introducing smoke, drying, finishing, and so on. A too low temperature will result in your sticks frying for an eternity and a day.
Setting the heat too high, on the other hand, will press out all of the fat, leaving you with extremely crumbly bits of meat.
It’s worth noting that you may smoke the sticks with either hickory or apple. To keep track of the temperature, insert a probe into the middle of one of the sticks.
As you smoke the sticks, make sure that the little areas of white fat on the outside don’t melt and that the temperature doesn’t get too high. Otherwise, you’ll end up with snack sticks that are oily on the exterior while still retaining the fat on the inside.
Remove the casings from the smoker when they turn dry and brown.
4. Cool The Snack Sticks
Cool the snack sticks with cold water after removing them from the smoker. Allow at least 10 minutes for the temperature to fall.
After that, let them be at room temperature for approximately an hour before putting the snack sticks in the fridge or freezer. If you want to eat the snack sticks later, you can store them in vacuum bags.
5. Store the Snack Sticks
When vacuum sealed, these delightful treats may be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or frozen for one year.
However, keep in mind that they only survive one week in a zipper-lock bag inside a refrigerator, so make sure to finish them up ahead of time.
The snack sticks are a terrific way to use up leftover venison or beef, and as you can see, they’re not as difficult to create as you would think.
Furthermore, they are less expensive than store-bought items, and you have total control over what’s inside.
Tips To Keep In Mind Before Hanging Snack Sticks In A Smoker
- Freeze the meat beforehand to prevent the fat from spreading.
- Leave enough space between the bottom of the stick and the burner. It will prevent your snack sticks from burning at the bottom.
- Cut the pieces into smaller parts to have a bigger room for themselves.
- To distribute the heat evenly, place the snack sticks as close as possible to the door.
- Raise the temperature very slowly while smoking the snack sticks.
- Make sure every snack stick gets an even temperature.
- How do you smoke snack sticks in a smoker?
Use the proper process to mix the meat, season it with your preferred seasoning, put them into the casing, and then hang them in the smoker at the right temperature to Smoke the snack sticks.
- Can you smoke snack sticks?
Yes, you can smoke snack sticks if you follow the right procedure. And it’s even healthier to smoke snack sticks at home rather than buying them from the super shops.
- How long should I smoke snack sticks?
Snack sticks usually take 6-10 hours to smoke. It depends on the meat and the recipe you’re using.
- Do you use a water pan when smoking snack sticks?
Yes, to keep the humidity up, you may use a water pan in the smoker to smoke the snack sticks.
If you’ve been putting off hanging the snack sticks in the smoker, now is the time to start. You’ll have clear, practical knowledge if you follow the instructions provided in this article.
Whether you choose beef, jerky, or venison snack sticks, smoking them in the smoker will be an excellent snack for the entire family. Just remember to allow the casings to dry well before applying smoke, gradually increase the temperature, and provide enough space between the main heater and the bottom of the sticks to avoid overheating.
Hopefully, you have the whole idea and process of how to hang snack sticks in a smoker by now. Best of luck making those snack babies!

Hundreds of sex offenders go missing
Hundreds of convicted sex offenders have disappeared from the police radar, and several have been missing for more than a decade.
As many as 391 registered sex offenders are wanted by forces in England and Wales because their whereabouts are unknown, figures show.
The Metropolitan police, Britain’s largest force, said that 167 had gone missing in the capital, and one had not been seen for 14 years. In Gloucestershire, one sex offender has been missing since 2000 and another in Northumbria disappeared in May 2002.
Registered sex offenders are required by law to inform police and probation officers of their addresses and are supposed to be monitored by officials working under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements. However, after a Freedom of Information request, 38 of 43

Rapid drug desensitization for immediate hypersensitivity reactions

- Oregon State University/Oregon Health and Science University College of Pharmacy
Desensitization is a procedure that alters the immune response to the drug and results in temporary tolerance, allowing the patient with a drug hypersensitivity reaction to receive an uninterrupted course of the medication safely. Once the medication is discontinued or if treatment is interrupted for a sufficient period of time, the patient's hypersensitivity to the medication returns. Desensitization is only safe and effective for certain types of drug allergy. The terms "drug hypersensitivity" and "drug allergy" are used synonymously in this topic review.
Techniques for drug desensitization in patients with immediate hypersensitivity reactions and the proposed mechanisms underlying these techniques will be reviewed here. Desensitizations for reactions to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are not included in this discussion but are discussed elsewhere. (See "Diagnostic challenge and desensitization protocols for NSAID reactions" and "Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease: NSAID challenge and desensitization".)
IMMEDIATE DRUG REACTIONS
The World Allergy Organization (WAO) has recommended dividing drug hypersensitivity reactions into two general types [1,2]:
●Immediate/acute reactions – Reactions that begin during the infusion and up to six hours after exposure to the culprit drug.
●Delayed reactions – Reactions that begin after six hours or later after exposure to the culprit drug.To continue reading this article, you must log in with your personal, hospital, or group practice subscription.

GMR Board approves Jerome’s resignation, search for new superintendent begins
At its May 20 meeting. the Greenbush-Middle River School Board approved the resignation of Superintendent Tom Jerome, effective June 30, 2019, ending his seven-year run with the district.
Before that, the board also approved ending the 60/40 percent split administrative service contract it has shared with the Badger School District since July 1, 2012. The release of this contract made the Badger School Board’s motion to approve Jerome’s resignation also official.
GMR had the 40 percent portion of this split. This administrative service contract had an expiration date of June 30, 2020.
Jerome thanked the board members for the “privilege” to serve the district’s students, staff members and residents. They have learned and grown together over his seven-year career here, Jerome said. He also highlighted the many achievements this district has accomplished during his time.
He mentioned the academic successes, including being recognized as a Celebration and Reward School by the Minnesota Department of Education and as one of the best schools in the state and nation by U.S. News and World Report. He also highlighted some of the district’s success outside the classroom, including Math League, Knowledge Bowl, and Envirothon state tournament appearances, successes in FCCLA, One-Act Play, Band, and Choir, and the state and world accomplishments of the district’s FIRST Robotics program.
He mentioned how the district has had numerous staff members earn “Coach of the Year” honors and had a student, Dylan Heggedal, earn state ExCEL Award recognition by the Minnesota State High School League last school year.
“Through it all– I mean everything– we have worked to try to maintain our focus and objective on serving our students, while quite frankly our school district has outperformed, in reality outperformed so many districts surrounding us,” Jerome said. “And we’ve done that all– serving our students– while trying to manage a budget and be respectful to our taxpayers.”
Back on a Friday, May 4 evening, Jerome received word that he was being offered the Roseau Superintendent position, after applying for the job on the final day he was able to do so. He accepted the position on a Tuesday, May 7 morning and, according to a Roseau Times Region report, the Roseau School Board approved his hire the following day.
“I stayed here because I love the students that I serve,” Jerome said. “And for the people in this room and for the people at this table and for the people in our district who have made their focus, our students, above any individual agenda or that of another group, thank you, because you have helped make our district really pretty crazy great.”
The GMR board discussed several options, including hiring a superintendent in-house, posting and advertising the superintendent position on its own, sharing a superintendent with Badger, and hiring a full or part-time interim superintendent.
The board did agree on an option at its meeting. It made a motion to work with the Badger School District to secure an interim superintendent through the Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA), contingent on Badger’s decision to share a superintendent.
“I think we need to send a clear message to Badger that we would like to pursue continuing sharing,” board member Carrie Jo Howard said.
Kilen then asked the board, “Is the concensus that we want to continue sharing?”
Board members said yes and Kilen responded, “Okay, now we’ve sent a message.”
If the Badger Board agreed to share, GMR Board representatives would meet with Badger Board representatives in the search. Badger Board Chairperson Jamie Isane and Badger board member Jeramy Swenson attended this meeting and received GMR’s message.
The next day, May 21, at a previously scheduled special meeting, the Badger Board decided to not partner with the GMR District in the search for a shared interim superintendent, but instead go out on its own.
At the GMR Board meeting, Board Chairperson Kilen said the board would have to call for a special meeting to discuss other options, if the Badger Board elected to go out on its own. Following Badger’s decision, the GMR Board scheduled a special meeting for Wednesday, May 29 at 7:30 pm in Greenbush.

The Guardian Notes and Theories blog has a fantastic article on media science distortion by brain researchers whose study got falsely reported as showing a link between rioting and ‘low levels of a brain chemical’.
The actual study, which you can read online as a pdf, did not mention rioting and did not investigate it, but it got widely spun as giving an explanation for the recent looting in the UK based on the function of a neurotransmitter.
…we found that people who had lower levels of GABA in a part of their frontal lobe also reported higher “rash impulsivity”. People who score higher on rash impulsivity tend to act more rashly in response to strong emotions or urges. Our results tallied with recent genetic findings that linked GABA to alcoholism and drug abuse: disorders in which high rash impulsivity is a common feature. We wrote up our study for publication in a scientific journal and, as standard, we were encouraged by our university to issue a press release.
As the riots unfolded, news stories based on our research began appearing. On Tueday 9 August, a newswire story by the Press Association announced that “Brain chemical lack ‘spurs rioting'”, with ‘spurs rioting’ printed mischievously in quote marks, falsely implying these were our words. In a further creative leap, The Sun heralded a “Nose spray to stop drunks and brawls”, and that a “cure could be developed in the next ten years”.
The researchers reflect on how the media handles neuroscience and the hidden assumptions on the role of our brain in behaviour that pervade press reporting
In parts it’s a lament, in parts a media critique, and definitely worth reading in full.
Link to article ‘Riot control’.
3 thoughts on “Bad riot neuroscience: cite the power”
Great post, i think the rioting wasn’t a result of brain chemicals but because the people were bad by nature. They have a habit of doing bad things and there is nothing wrong with their brains.
“The reason why some men are more impulsive, act aggressively, drink and take drugs could lie in the fact that they have lower levels of a naturally occurring substance in a specific part of their brain, University research has uncovered.”
That’s the press release from Cardiff Uni for a paper with two studies (N=12 and N=13) of Cardiff University subjects filling out questionnaires and doing a bunch of cognitive tests.
It’s a really interesting study and article, but before getting so outraged at misinterpretation and exaggeration in the media, I think the researchers should look closer to home.

Rape, the very sound of the word makes people feel uncomfortable. It’s the elephant in the room in many families, and somehow it’s always perceived as the victim’s fault. I’ve always believed that it’s the silence of the victims that have given predators and society the authority to treat rape victims the way they do. Silence is great for most things but NOT in cases of abuse; there should be an outcry. The identity of rape victims are concealed, and I can understand that, because no one wants anyone to know that they were raped no matter the circumstance, so we hide behind the alias while our assailants profess their innocence boldly. While the legal system intended to protect us by concealing us, it has also alienated us and given the advantage to the enemy. Remaining nameless and faceless has harmed us.
My grandmother asked me, why did I put my face on my first book, How I Escaped The Prison of Rape: The Journey To Total Freedom. This book tells the story of how I was molested as a child and raped as an adult. Her concern was that people would come back and point fingers at me, and I told her that it was necessary for me to put a face to the story. Putting my face to the shame the enemy once threatened to expose; was my way of telling hell, I won’t be bullied. The things you continue to hide you cannot be healed from.
Step 1 Admit:
“If you want to experience freedom, you must be willing to reveal the secrets that are holding you captive”- Shirley Gattis
It may seem a little silly that I am saying to you ‘the victim’ that you need to admit what happened to you as if you didn’t know -you were there. But many who have suffered sexual and mental abuse, to admit that it happened makes the abuse real. There are people who believe that if they never talk about it, it’s like it never happened and it relieves them of the pain of reliving the situation. But honestly, we never forget. Admitting to yourself that the abused occurred is the first step toward total freedom.
Between the ages of seven to twelve years, I experienced molestation, and at twenty years old while I was sleeping in my bed, my home was broken into, and I was raped. I tell the full story in my book How I Escaped the Prison of Rape: The Journey To Total Freedom. This was a defining moment in my life, I was either going to have a nervous breakdown or use these tragedy’s like fuel to power my greatness. I honestly couldn’t understand how God could have allowed this to happen to me over and over. I was angry, filled with hatred for my parents and myself because I felt like my life was not my own and that my body was only to be used and abused for a man’s amusement.
Fast forward to my mid-twenties, I decided to give my life to the Lord, and I expected things to get more comfortable in my life but honestly- it got worst. One of the first things God told me to do was to look in the mirror and repeat to myself what I went through. I didn’t quite understand what he meant by this but when I began to say what I experienced there were feelings of rage, shame, anger, unforgiveness that rose to the surface of my heart. Everyone I thought should die for what they did to me faces appeared before me, and I began to cry. I was saved but depressed. Proclaiming my love for God but filled with hatred. So repeating what happened made it real, which forced me to come face to face with my demons.
I WAS raped! I WAS molested! Yes, I WAS lied to! I WAS betrayed by my parents! I WAS, but who am I now? The Holy Spirit began to reveal to me that I only saw myself through the eyes of my past and because of that I couldn’t appreciate who he was calling me to be in my future. Was is past tense meaning that it happened, but because we tend to associate who we are with what we did or what happened to us, we miss who God intends for us to become.
I am reminded of the story of Gideon. God told Gideon that he needed him to lead his people to battle. The Lord told Gideon that he was a brave man and Gideon said, “Not me!” Gideon began to talk about how weak he was and how he was a wimp and all that was wrong with him-sounds familiar? The God that created him told him that he was mighty, but he only saw himself based on who he was and where he came from. We all sometimes do what Gideon did especially when we have conditioned our minds only to see the negative things about ourselves.
So many people are portraying confidence and strength on the outside but are cowards on the inside. Facing your past takes faith and power. But the great thing about it is that God promises that we don’t have to do it in our strength but in his. God is pretty strong so don’t worry about giving him your burdens, in fact, he insists that we do.
Now I no longer associated who I am with who I was because I now know that; I Am Brave, I Am Whole, I Am Beautiful! He turned my ashes into beauty, and he can do the same for you!
What has happened in your life that you have hidden? Write it down.
Step 2 Forgive
Forgiveness frees you from the pain of the abuse and positions you for the promise. Even though we want to hold on to the hurt, it cripples us from genuinely embracing our future. Unforgiveness is like being imprisoned for a crime someone else committed. Our lives are mirrored expressions of our internal thoughts. If we obsess over who hurt us, we will never have time to open up ourselves to the ideas of a successful future because we are consumed with bitterness, hatred, and unforgiveness. I talk more about forgiveness in How I Escaped the Prison of Rape: The Journey To Total Freedom.
How can you forgive someone that hurt you so bad that it shifted the direction of your life? Through Christ. We, humans, are so obsessed with being in control of everything, but we were made to be reliant and dependant on God. It is he who will give you the power to forgive so that you can live out your God-given destiny. Our flesh alone is incapable of genuinely forgiving without God’s help. Trust that God will help to heal the wounds of yesterday so that you can embrace the possibilities of now!
Who’s on your black (do not forgive) list? It’s time to forgive and let go!
Step 3 Faith
It was my faith in God that secured my victory. The Bible tells us that Jesus took it all to the cross. He took sickness, debt, death, divorce, lack, he took it all to the cross, and our faith in him secures the blessings that were released on Calvary. Faith is not believing in an invisible character and hoping that what we think will come true. Religion is an active relationship that honors communication and trust. Our faith in God gives us the power we need to overcome anything that comes our way because we understand that the battle belongs to him.
God doesn’t expect us to overcome our past in our strength but in his. The Bible declares that his power is made perfect in our weakness so if we believe that he can restore us he will. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. Some things we ask God to do for us may come instantly, but on the other hand, sometimes it may be a process.
It’s important for us to remember the times that God has delivered us from trouble or given us undeserved favor so that we use that experience as markers to remind us that if he did it before he will do it again. What has God brought you out of and do you believe he can do it again?
It was Job’s faith that kept him, through his time of struggle when his wife told him to curse God.
It was Joseph’s faith in the spoken word of God that he would do great things that kept him when he was sold into slavery and falsely accused of rape.
The woman with the issue of blood-it was her faith that healed her.
It was Noah’s faith that built a boat in the face of ridicule and laughter.
It was Abraham’s faith in God that kept him on a journey when he didn’t know where he was going.
What is your story of faith?
Step 4 Process
Everything has a process. We must understand that during our journey to total freedom it will take time for us to be completely free. It will take time for you to feel safe again. It will take time for you to love again and don’t be so hard on yourself because you are not further than you think you should be. There is no time limit on you. The only expectation of you is to allow God to work through you because you can not do it alone, believe me I know. In my flesh, I couldn’t forgive or feel compassion for the man that raped me or the men that molested me.
The world was created through a process, by our creator who could have done it in 0.0 seconds but he didn’t, to show us that everything we do will take time, thought and commitment. I don’t always like to stand on the line at the bank or the amusement parks, I love to get immediate assistance, but it doesn’t work like that all the time. It’s through the processes of life that we learn to have patience, compassion, forgiveness, and love.
Trust the process. What’s so funny is that we hate the process it takes to grow, we want what we want, and we want it now but love processed food that’s designed to kill us. The irony of it all is that process regarding journey or growth is one of the best things that we can experience. Now, I know that when we are going through the process, sometimes it’s painful and uncomfortable but at the end of it, we always leave as winners if we stuck with it.
Joseph endured the process. God gave him a dream that he would be great but he did not know what that greatness entailed. God’s dream for him caused his brothers to hate him and attempt to kill him. He was sold into slavery, falsely imprisoned and during all of this, the Bible never states that he complained or disbelieved the dream God gave him. Although he faced great opposition and wrongful imprisonment he continued to work in excellence until one day his dream became a reality.
Many of us would have given up during that process because we would have allowed the enemy to trick us into believing that God is not going to do what he said, but that’s a lie. The process is necessary to ensure that a strong foundation is set to build a lasting structure. If there are cracks in the foundation, it doesn’t matter how beautiful the building maybe the whole thing will come crashing down. The process establishes us for longevity, and it builds our faith and shows us who we are. My former pastor always said that if God gave you something before you were ready for it, he has cursed you.
Describe a process that you endured in the past and how did it help to make you a better person?
Step 5 Prayer
Prayer is one of our most potent weapons. Many people see prayer as a last resort, but it’s our first line of defense. Prayer God’s way will provide you the protection, peace, and prosperity you need to live.
How do I pray? Well, the Lord’s Prayer is an excellent guideline for how we should pray.
“Our Father which art in heaven”: Here we are worshipping who he is and where he is in humility and love. Prayer must begin with praise and thanksgiving.
“Hallowed be thy name”: Hallowed means to make holy or to demonstrate as sacred. This is an extension of the first line which is acknowledging his holiness.
“Thy Kingdom Come thine will be done on earth as it is in heaven”: Here we recognize that God is in control of everything and we begin to declare in word on earth so that it is established here as it is in heaven. For example, if you are praying for healing the Bible states that there is no sickness in heaven so praying for healing is manifesting heaven on earth.
“Give this day our daily bread”: God is our provider and here’s where we make our requests known. God provided for the Israelites every day after they left Egypt with manna from the heavens and it was only enough for that day so that they would learn how to trust and rely on God for their substance and not to trust in a system or a man. Many times when God disrupts the flow of our increase, or blessings is because he doesn’t want us to see the person he’s using to do it or the system he used as the source, they are merely the resource, but God and God alone is our source. So every morning wake up with new hope and expectation and do not limit him to one way of doing things.
“Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” Here we are confessing our sins. Although God already knows what we have done the first step towards forgiveness is admittance. As we confess our sins, God gives us the power we need to forgive those who have sinned against us.
“And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.” Here you are repenting for your sins and asking for God’s protection from evil. It’s important for us to realize that we cannot escape temptation on our own, no matter how “good” we are or how much self-control we have. We are fully dependent upon the Holy Spirit who lives in us to give us eyes that see temptation coming and a way to escape it.
“For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen.” Here we are reaffirming his authority to do all that we’ve asked and agreed that it is done. By closing our prayers with “Amen,” we are declaring that we truly believe that God has heard everything we have said and that He will do it.
Effective prayer is using the word of God because the Bible declares that His word shall not return unto him void. What do you need right now? Whatever it is, locate the word of the Lord that speaks to it and write your prayer down.
Step 6 Family
Deuteronomy 5:9-10….for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
What we don’t know about our family can hurt us. As a child, I was molested a few times, and I never understood why. Then when I was raped as an adult, I thought I was safe in my bed, but the boogie man was still able to creep in despite my security alarm system and double-locked doors. Here I was again asking the same question, why me?
It was a few years before the rape when my mother told me that she was molested as a child by her step-father and when she told me I didn’t completely understand what she was saying to me. I knew that she also experienced what I went through, but it wasn’t until I gave my life to the Lord that he showed me that the spirit of perversion never left her life because the curse was never broken and it visited me in the next generation. Many people believe that the things that happen to them is merely just the way things are in their family when in fact it’s a demonic spirit that has established a stronghold in that family and unless someone breaks the curse the spirit will continue to pass on from generation to generation. I truly understood that it wasn’t my fault and that I was indeed dealing with a satanic interference that was designed to destroy my mind and my life.
After I was made aware of this, I began to study the word of God to see how I could destroy this generational curse so that it doesn’t pass down to my children. The Lord just told me to repeat the word and to call out the spirit of perversion out of my life and to destroy the spirit and any evil covenant my ancestors may have made with the devil. In addition to this, I continue to lay up prayers for my children not out of fear but out of wisdom. Your prayers are never wasted, and prayer prepares the way for them and creates a spiritual path for kids to follow.
Our prayers speak! Even while the Prodigal Son sat in the mud, the bible says he came to himself and he got up and went home. The prayers his father prayed over him covered him in the pigpen and spoke to the king in him to arise which eventually happened. The benefits of the father’s prayers weren’t seen right away it took some time for the son to come into agreement with the word so don’t give up praying even if it seems like nothing happens. Your prayers are breaking down the walls of defense until it penetrates the heart.
Can a spirit that has been cast out return? Yes. Luke 11:24 “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from. This is why the bible tells us to be alert and sober because the devil seeks whom he may devour. So it is essential for us to pray without ceasing.
Step 7 Purpose
Why were you born? Why did you survive the abuse? The answer to this question is -purpose. God has a specific plan for all of our lives, and when you understand your purpose, you will know why you survived the tragedy.
Your purpose should not be mistaken for your gifts. Your gifts will guide you to your ultimate destiny but should not be mistaken for your purpose. Jesus was gifted. He was able to heal the sick, walk through walls, disappear into thin air but although extremely gifted that wasn’t his purpose. His purpose was to die on the cross for our sins and to be resurrected on the third day to ascend to the right-hand side of the father. That was Jesus’ purpose, however, along the way he healed the sick and blessed people by his gift.
Our gifts are what God uses to bless others, but our purpose is the reason why we were created. Many of us have the same gifts but not the same purpose.
Can we forfeit our purpose? Yes, we can. Moses did that through disobedience. In Numbers 20:8, the Lord told Moses, “Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes, and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.” Numbers 20:9-11 records Moses’ response: “So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as He commanded him. He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, ‘Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?’ Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.” The Lord was displeased with Moses’ actions: “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them” (Numbers 20:12).
However, God still works everything together for our good because Moses’ disobedience made room for a new leader, Joshua. So although Moses did not see the promised land, he performed the meaning of his name to be drawn out. He took God’s people out of Egypt.
Elijah was a prophet who did mighty things by the hand of God, but his purpose was to train his successor Elijah. After purpose has been completed death is imminent. There are people who die before their time, but as believers, the bible says that death should not be a surprise to us. When we are actively walking in destiny, death comes at its appointed time.
Why are you here?
Step 8 Love
Loved died on the cross that day. The very definition of God is Love, and it was because of his love for us that he was able to grant such a great sacrifice. Love is the cure to hate. Love is the cure for crime. Love is the cure for everything that we need, and Jesus demonstrated that on the cross because he took everything there and it was his love that proves, love covers a multitude of sins. Love is sacrifice.
What is your definition of love?
Step 9 Power
Power- and I’m not talking about the television show. God has given us the power to tread on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:19 KJV Notwithstanding in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. We have the power to rule and reign through Christ apart from him we can do nothing. Our very existence proves that he is real. Even to those who are not in Christ or who don’t believe in him or give him credit for their existence they are here because God allows it. Purpose keeps us breathing. Purpose is the calculator of time. I believe that when we have completed purpose, we have completed our life on earth. Judas proved this. Judas was purposed to betray our savior it was all apart of God’s plan. Although I do not believe that his suicide was a part of God’s plan I do believe that his death at that time was. He completed his course.
The enemy can not take our power away from us, but he can trick you into believing that we have no power. He will exaggerate your issue, blow it up until you either command him to flee, or you accept the things he is saying. Our power cannot be activated outside of Christ because it’s through him that we have the victory.
Our power is translated into our speech. By the way, we speak of the things that oppress us. The Bible declares that life and death are in the power of the tongue and to defeat the enemy, we must open our mouths and declare the word of God. The word is life, and it has the power to destroy the altars of our enemies and build tabernacles of faith. We have the power but most times we fail to activate it because we have been tricked into believing that it’s just rhetoric, but it’s not, and your knowledge and revelation of the word of God determines your level of survival. For many, I know it may seem like a daunting task to locate scriptures that are needed for your particular situation but an awesome book to read is Prayers that Rout Demons by John Eckhardt. This book has opened my eyes to understanding. He simply collected scriptures and created prayers and confessions for different scenarios and struggles. Since I have been reciting the prayers, I found in this book I have received so much revelation and insight. The reason the book is so powerful is that you are declaring the word of the Lord.
As believers and people of God, we must use our most powerful weapons which are our mouth and the word combined to activate the power within us. We can win the war against our minds, our souls, families, finances, health if we would only speak to the mountains in our lives. It’s time to activate the power within
New beginnings aren’t always beautiful. Think about a contractor who is about to build a house on a parcel of undeveloped land. There may be weeds or just dirt, nothing appealing to the eyes but he smiles because he holds the blueprint for the project so he knows the beauty that shall be revealed. Or think about the car manufacturers they get all these parts together that look like junk unassembled, but when they put them together, it’s a Mercedes Benz. I learned this the hard way. I would get excited when I heard the number 8 preached on because 8 is the number of the new beginning. I would believe the word, stand on that word and everything that was supposed to change in my life seem to take an awkward shift backward not forward. It was in this revelation that I realized that new beginnings aren’t a one-day event it’s a process. The Bible declares that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, we know that the creation happened in seven days. Six days God worked, and on the seventh day, he rested. When God created the heavens and the earth the earth was without form, there was no beauty in it, so God began to add animals, foliage, and man. As God created the earth every day, he added something that would add to its beautification and life. Everything in life is a process even your new beginning.
So God has delivered you from the hurt of the rape and molestation, and as you look around your life, it seems as though nothing has changed because everything either looks the same or looks like nothing at all. If this is you, your new day has begun. Here’s what you have to do now. You have to begin to create your world by your words and moving in the direction of the spoken words. The enemy will attack your mind and bring back old feelings of insecurity and pain to make you believe that nothing has happened. But the word of God declares that who the Son sets free is free indeed so as you walk into your new life you must transform your mind by reading God’s word which will create a new thought process for you. Once you begin to change your mind with God’s word your life will start to line up because it is also written that so a man thinketh in his heart so is he. Faith is voice-activated. So speak it until you see it.

Council approves budget in record time, OKs CIP
The City Council spent less than an hour Friday discussing the details in 2014-2015 budget, indicating members were ready to submit the preliminary document to citizens for public comment, then vote to approve the budget that will guide city expenditures for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
The discussion took place during a special meeting that also included the final proposal for the 2015 Capital Improvements Program (CIP), an 11-year, seven-eighths-percent sales tax that will be submitted to city voters Aug. 26.
The most surprising thing about the meeting may have been its brevity: After splitting on the details of the CIP at Tuesday's regular council meeting, the group unanimously voted Friday to back the $100.9 million proposal, whose documentation is expected to be brought back to the council for a final vote June 10. Before that CIP vote, council members indicated they were ready to approve the balanced 2014-2015 budget as presented by City Manager Bryan Long and Finance Director Brooks Mitchell after the men outlined the highlights.
That decision marks a departure from the traditional budgeting process, in which the council sets a series of meetings to listen to department heads highlight their budgets, then ask questions and make suggestions about expenditures. Long said the council didn't need a protracted series of workshops this year because the staff-presented document is balanced and because it basically reflects what city staff has had to do this year to balance expenditures against revenues.
"It took longer than it should have," he said of the excess work needed to craft this year's budget, work that was taking place while administrators and council members designed the 2015 CIP.
Total expenditures, which include the operating budget, capital improvements programs, judgments and bond payments, are projected to be $192,028 more than what city staff expects in actual expenditures this year, or $159,440,891 for 2014-2015, versus $159,248,863 for this year. Expenditures for the city's divisions (the operating budget) is projected at $89,397,011 for 2014-2015, versus $85,011,067 expected this year.

I made this scarf to be double sided, so it's really thick, but I think that's okay.
One side, or panel, is the checkerboard pattern, alternating color every 4 stitches (32stitches total per row, 32 rows per block) to make squares ( each square is 4 stitches x 4 stitches). Then I went with 8st x 8st squares in the next block, followed by 16st x 16st, then I did a strip of alternating color every stitch for 16 rows, then worked backward thru the pattern (16 x 16, 8 x 8, 4 x 4). Side 1: done.
Then on the other side, it was an 8row strip of alternating color every stitch, then 32st x 32row blocks, ending with another 8-row strip of alternating color every stitch. Side 2: done.
Last step, sew the whole thing together.
I made this scarf for my sister, who despises fringe on scarves, but you could easily add a little bit of fringe to add to the length or general flare. :)

While many risk factors for basal and squamous cell skin cancers have been found, it’s not always clear exactly how these factors might cause cancer.
Most basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers are caused by repeated and unprotected skin exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight, as well as from man-made sources such as tanning beds.
UV rays can damage the DNA inside skin cells. DNA is the chemical in each of our cells that makes up our genes, which control how our cells function. We usually look like our parents because they are the source of our DNA. But DNA affects more than just how we look.
Some genes help control when our cells grow, divide into new cells, and die:
Cancers can be caused by DNA changes that keep oncogenes turned on, or that turn off tumor suppressor genes. These types of gene changes can lead to cells growing out of control.
Researchers don’t yet know all of the DNA changes that result in basal or squamous cell skin cancer, but they have found that in many skin cancers the cells have changes in tumor suppressor genes.
The gene most often altered in squamous cell cancers is the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. This gene normally causes cells with damaged DNA to die. When TP53 is altered, these abnormal cells may live longer and might go on to become cancerous.
Genes often mutated in basal cell cancers include the PTCH1 or PTCH2 genes, which are part of the “hedgehog” signaling pathway inside cells. These are tumor suppressor genes that normally help keep cell growth in check, so changes in one of these genes can allow cells to grow out of control. People who have basal cell nevus syndrome (Gorlin syndrome), which is often inherited from a parent and results in getting many basal cell cancers, have an altered PTCH1 gene in all the cells of their body.
These are not the only gene changes that play a role in the development of skin cancer. There are many others as well.
People with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) have a high risk for skin cancer. XP is a rare, inherited condition resulting from a change in one of the XP (ERCC) genes, which leads to a defect in one of the proteins that normally helps repair DNA damage. Because people with XP are less able to repair DNA damage caused by sunlight, they often develop many cancers on sun-exposed areas of their skin.
The link between squamous cell skin cancer and infection with some types of the human papilloma virus (HPV) also involves DNA and genes. These viruses have genes that affect growth-regulating proteins of infected skin cells. This can cause skin cells to grow too much and to not die when they’re supposed to.
Scientists are studying other links between DNA changes and skin cancer. A better understanding of how damaged DNA leads to skin cancer might be used to design treatments to overcome or repair that damage.
Our team is made up of doctors and oncology certified nurses with deep knowledge of cancer care as well as journalists, editors, and translators with extensive experience in medical writing.
