Desperate Housewives Meet Jesus

By Paul Davis The woman at the well was seeking for things that could never satisfy. She had been married 5 times and was shacked up with a “watchamacallit” when Jesus showed up in her life (John 4:18). Martha was a perfectionist and troubled with many things when Jesus asked her to chill out and sit as His feet to hear the Word of God (Luke 10:40-42). The whorish woman, loud in speech, vile in heart, seductive and deadly (Proverbs 7:9-23) was also deceptive and self righteous. She boasted about her religiosity. Her bed was full of adultery, the pathway to sin, immorality, and a hellish eternity. Jesus knowing full well the ways in which each of these women error graciously said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more” (John 8:11). Nevertheless love rejoices in the truth (1Corinthians 13:6) and by the fear of the Lord do wayward women depart from evil (Proverbs 3:7). Get out of the flesh and live in the Spirit! It’s a lot more fun, but will you hear it? The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). Adultery is a dose of death as it dislocates you from the love and purpose of God for your life. Sin is like cotton candy, which only tastes good momentarily, but never quite fills you within. Don’t be poisoned by sin. Accept Christ within and let the Holy Spirit empower you to win! The Holy Spirit is continually flowing. Get off your backside and move forward into the mighty rivers of the Spirit (John 7:37-39). Put feet to your faith and step into your future with boldness and expectation! Blessed are the pure in heart as they shall see God (Matthew 5:8). Paul Davis is a FL real estate professional, life coach (relational & professional), worldwide minister, and change master. Paul is the author of several books including Breakthrough for a Broken Heart; Adultery: 101 Reasons Not to Cheat; Are You Ready for True Love; Stop Lusting & Start Living; Waves of God; Supernatural Fire; Poems that Propel the Planet; and God vs. Religion.

Daisys Make a Wonderful Gift

By Gail Leino There are no other flowers that symbolize freshness and summer as easily as daisies do. “As fresh as daisies” is a common expression and the use of them to decorate gives the same sentiment to the whole house. The purity and complication free aspect of the daisy makes it a great hostess gift for an informal dinner party. Roses are reserved for close relationships or special occasions but daisies can be presented to complete strangers on a get acquainted first date. There’s no strings attached to a bouquet of daisies presented to a sick neighbor or elderly friend. The recipient doesn’t even owe a thank-you card for the gift of humble daisies. Daisies are uniquely suited to coloring with bright dyes so that they can be matched to any decorating theme. Carnations have the same property but daisies take more color and are nearly always cheaper. Fiesta colors are especially popular in daisies. This fact makes them a natural at Cinco de Mayo celebrations for which all of the decorations are brightly colored. They aren’t really limited to celebrations though. Daisies are fine for daily use to brighten an entry way or for table use. Though inexpensive they add warmth to any setting. For best affect daisies should be used with broader leaved plants which can compliment the wispier appearing plant. This makes them dissimilar to flowers like roses that benefit from use with smaller flowers like baby’s breath. Daisies need the broader leaves or even larger flowers like small sunflower varieties for contrast. Southern households are often fond users of daisies. The name itself was a very popular one for daughters born during the mid-nineteenth century. Gardens weren’t complete without a thicket of much loved daisies. Daisy look-a-likes are also used in gardens and bouquets to enhance the daisies. Mrs. Party… Gail Leino is the internet’s leading authority on selecting the best possible party supplies (http://partysupplieshut.com), using proper etiquette and manners while also teaching organizational skills and fun facts.

Making The Grade

By Annagail Lynes Here–” I said, handing my mother my progress report as I walked into her room. I braced myself for the inevitably screaming I was sure to hear. “My teacher says you have to sign this.” My mother looked at the card, then at me. “How could you be getting a ‘D’ in Earth Science?” Some students have a natural ability for academics. They receive excellent marks, yet rarely crack open their textbooks. Others have to study night and day to get the same marks. Its not that some students are smart, and others are dumb. It is a matter of tapping into what study methods work for each student. Here are seven ways you can study more effectively and improve your grades: Track Assignments The first step is to keep track of assignments. Some loose-leaf binders come with school-year or all-year calendars. If you dont find one you like, consider buying a teachers’ planning calendar from an office supply store. It can be inserted into the front of your binders and used to record assignments. Your teachers may provide you with assignment sheets. These sheets can be slipped in front of the calendar. The day the assignments and tests are announced, work out a study schedule. Commit To A Regular Time And Place For Homework You should study every day to continue to make progress. Homework time doesn’t have to be a hassle if you are flexible with your schedule. Some students like to start their homework right after school. With their homework finished, they are free to go out or watch television. Other students prefer to relax first, then do their homework with a fresh perspective. Once you have committed to a homework time, stick to it. Where you study is as important as setting a regular study time. You may enjoy studying at your bedroom desk or lying on the floor in the living room. No matter where you study, the environment should be noise-free and well-lighted. You should be able to spread out your books and papers. Also make sure you have all the supplies you need within your reach. Be Conscientious Every night make sure your homework is done, is correct and is orderly. Neat homework and projects earn higher grades. In the business world, if you make a sloppy presentation, you will lose the client’s account. Also turn your homework in on time. After the test and assignments are handed back, sit down with them and see where you made mistakes. Why were the errors made and how could you prevent similar errors in the future? Write notes on the assignments and tests. Make a file for the test and notes, for cumulative tests later. Use Memorization Techniques In order to remember lists, try inventing a combination of letters (an acronym). Each letter will give you a clue to an idea you need to remember. For example, BRASS is an acronym for how to shoot a rifle–Breath, Relax, Aim, Sight, Squeeze. You could also make up a sentence where the first letter of each word is a hint to what you need to recall. For instance, Dumb Martians Just Sit Nearby Eating Tender Noodles is the phrase to remember the order of the Eight Is Enough children–David, Mary, Joanie, Susan, Nancy, Elizabeth, Tommy, Nicholas. For remembering names, devise a relationship between the name and the physical characteristics of the person. For example, Shirley Temple might be remembered as having curly–which rhymes with Shirley–hair around her temples. When you have an ordered or an unordered list you need to memorize, you can create a story linking the ideas together. The more crazier, the better. If your vocabulary words are success, assistant, cemetery, scrutinize, you might create a story of a successful assistant scrutinizing tombstones in a cemetery, searching for her boss grave. Studying For Tests Write down a study checklist of what will be covered on the test. Make a list of notes, formulas, ideas and text assignments that you are responsible for. Create flashcards–put topics or questions on the front and answers on the back. Have a friend, parent or sibling quiz you. Keep running through the flashcards while you brush your teeth, are on the bus, when you are in the restroom and when you are doing chores. Produce a mock test. One with only the questions and another with only the answers. Hide the answers in a drawer or give them to a parent. Take the test and when completed, compare your responses with the ones on the answer sheet. Keep repeating this process until you know the material backward and forward. If you want to make studying for a test fun, team up with a friend and play the game show Twenty-One. A parent or sibling should host , reading off the questions. You and your friend compete against each other until one of you reaches twenty-one points. Avoid Getting Involved In Too Many Activities If you want to participate in an extracurricular activity, you can reschedule your study time. However, if baseball, ballet or any other activities make you stay up late trying to finish your homework, then you are involved in too many activities. Play Educational Games After the homework is finished, pull out a board game. Monopoly encourages mental calculation when counting money and determining moves, and Clue requires logical deductive skills. Try to figure out the measurements when doubling a recipe in the kitchen. Playing word games with your family or friends can improve spelling skills. Scrabble, anagrams, Wheel of Fortune and word jumbles can teach you to spell new words. II Timothy 2:15 says to study to show yourself approved unto God. If you care enough about your grades to take the time to develop conscientious study habits, you receive better marks, learn self-discipline and will have more options when it comes to selecting colleges. No matter what you choose to do in life, you should have a good education to fall back on. Not everything in life comes easy. The key is to make up your mind to work hard for the things you want. And not to let anyone or anything get in your way. About The Author Annagail Lynes is editor of VisionHope Magazine.

How Do You Choose The Right People To Date?

By Tonja Weimer Do you know how to choose the right people to date? Do you wonder if you are making a mistake when you agree to see someone? Lots of people are cautious when they are meeting new people. Their reserve can send a signal that they are not interested, when in fact, they are just unsure of what to do and say until they know the person better. What are the ways to tell if someone is suitable to date? First of all, if you are introduced to a potential date through friends and family, then you have just cut through a lot of curiosity about their past and their history. You can have a greater degree of trust in the person, though you still need to pay attention to the signs of when someone is not right for you. But if you are meeting someone without the link of mutual connections, you need to: listen for the messages. Most of us have had those moments in life where we heard a small voice inside trying to break through and be heard. I describe those times as messages delivered on butterfly wings. Butterfly messages are fluttering murmurs telling us gently topay attention. Unfortunately, we often dont. We ignore that inner signal because our other needs are too loud or we dont value our own opinion. Sometimes, we even think we are just making it up. When that butterfly message isnt heard and acted upon, it will come back to us at a later date, stronger and louder. This time the message could feel like a sharp tap on the shoulder that says, Excuse me, but youd better pay attention to this! The person you are considering going out with is sending danger signals that you are missing.” There are some of us who dont respond to the message even when it is as convincing as a strong tap or even a shove. We notice it, but we are too caught up in our fear of loneliness or our own struggles and dilemmas. The next time the same message comes to us, it hits us in the head with a BRICKBAT. This time, we cant miss it. (It could be a lie we have caught the person in, a display of temper, or another lover we have seen them with.) Brickbat messages hurt. How can we learn to hear the first gentle flaps of the butterflies wings? Let the following reminders help you recognize the hovering sounds of your own voice, trying to get your attention about: * The company you keep. Have you got friends who lead you into dark places? Addictions, gossip, or even unnecessary spending are all ways we do ourselves in, and then later live in despair. Change your friends, your habits, your self-destructive ways. Help is out there for you but you have to ask for it. * Dreams. What are your dreams, and how can you pick them up and activate them? As a single’s coach, when I ask people what they want, they often give me a blank stare and say, I have no idea. You need an idea. Take some quiet time and imagine how you would like your life to be. *Cleansing. Clean up your past by making your apologies, mourning what was lost or will never be, and taking responsibility for what is yours to handle. Eliminate those activities and relationships that drain you, and find people who support your life, plans, and dreams. Listen carefully for the butterfly messages. They will save you grief from choosing someone who is not right for you.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

By Elizabeth Morgan Not a lot of people have tried a pumpkin cheesecake, but those who have swear that they are addicted to it. A pumpkin cheesecake is perfect for someone who likes a cheesecake to have a fluffy, light texture and less sweetness. Interested in making one? Read on for a short how-to. Start making your pumpkin cheesecake by combining one and a half cups of gingersnap crumbs with about a half a cup of toasted pecans, and then forcing the mixture down into a spring-form pan to make a gingersnap crust. Bake this in the oven for about ten to twelve minutes at 325 degrees. Meanwhile, beat about ten to twelve ounces of cream cheese firmly and consistently until you achieve a smooth texture. Add the amount of sugar you want (usually about three-quarters cup is fine). Drop in the eggs but hold on! Remember to drop them one by one, beating continuously as you do. About five eggs will do the trick. After this, you then drop in about one and a half cups of pumpkin puree, some cinnamon, and another three-quarters cup of some heavy cream. Finished? You are now ready to bake the cake. Put it in the oven and leave it for about half an hour. You know that your cheesecake is done when the center is jiggly and edges are already nice and puffy. When its done, try running a knife on all sides of the cake before you let it cool off this prevents the cake from having cracks. Let the cake cool down for another thirty minutes (in the oven), and then pop it into your refrigerator. Twelve hours later, you have yourself a delicious pumpkin cheesecake. Invite your friends over to enjoy your creation with you, or take pleasure in it by yourselfjust kick back and drink iced tea with your scrumptious pumpkin pie as you watch the sunset or your favorite TV show. Cheesecake provides detailed information on Cheesecake, Cheesecake Recipes, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Cherry Cheesecake and more. Cheesecake is affiliated with French Cheese.

Career Success Through Asking Unusual Questions

By Melanie Keveles As a life coach who specializes in helping people find career fulfillment, I am always looking for questions that will trigger awareness about satisfying work. After all, it’s the questions that enable people to sort out their desires, values, interests and couple these with their natural talents and trained skills. Ask a powerful question and you have the ability to cut to the core of what most matters to a person. The trick is to find questions that unlock both emotional and intellectual concerns. Many people become disheartened about career selection when they follow a path based solely on head (reasoning) rather than heart (passion) - I’ll become an accountant because it’s a respected profession or I won’t pursue teaching even though it’s my passion because teachers are so poorly respected and paid. Directions followed purely for passion may lack realism - I’ll become a football player because I love sports, even though I have limited skill and prowess. So, I’ve made it my business to collect and create questions that may seem quirky, but help identify the ultimate quest. Sometimes questions occur from observing life experience such as “For what behavior were you razzed as a child?” I had stumbled on this one when I noticed a pattern between what some had told me had been a frustrating experience at various points in their lives. I wondered - what if we took the judgment out of this? What information is being offered? After all, Johnny Carson’s teachers accused him of clowning too much. Oprah was told she talked too much. Other questions arise out of a seemingly impossible situation. “Even if you hate your present job with a passion, is there one area in particular you enjoy?” One woman found that she loved clipping articles about her industry and giving them each day to her boss. When she coupled this activity with additional competitive research, she was able to create a new career path for herself within her company as Competitive Intelligence Manager. One of my favorite questions, however, is asking, “Is there someone out there who is doing work that makes you jealous?” Naomi Stephan, Ph.D., author of Fulfill Your Soul’s Purpose: Ten Creative Paths to Your Life Mission (Stillpoint Publishing, 1994) says, “Your jealousy and envy can be friendly clues about areas that you are neglecting in your career.” What’s helpful about this question as well as others that emerge from negative information is that people are so accustomed to complaining that what makes them jealous is readily available to them - if they are willing to admit it. Faced with many career choices, a person who has many interests may feel overwhelmed. But asked about whose work day you envy this same person may easily begin to focus. It’s important, however, that the jealousy be directed to the actual activity of the job. Being jealous of someone’s salary or powerful trappings is not what will bear fruit on this quest. Stephan noticed she was jealous of Gloria Steinem when it was announced in the paper the celebrity was coming to town to promote her latest book. However, Stephan realized she wouldn’t be envious about a famous stock market analyst autographing a book. Yet her feelings towards Steinem were a clue that part of her life mission was to be a respected writer and communicator. Stephan suggests the following exercise to discover your own clues: Make three columns and fill them in: 1. Person Involved 2. Circumstance of the Trigger 3. Lesson Write three or four examples of situations that raise your jealousy or envy. Then decide which jealousy is greatest and what you need to do to act on it. Compare each of the people you are jealous of to see which one ranks highest. Collecting and asking quirky questions like these above among members of a department or work group can be particularly fruitful. Imagine challenging your colleagues over lunch to consider taking on new projects based on small areas of their jobs they want to grow. Will you admit to each other what behavior you’ve been razzed about throughout your life? Will you come clean about work you envy? If so, you may be delightfully surprised how much support you may receive from those who will champion your pursuing a direction that clearly incorporates the best you have to offer.

6 Simple Ways to Determine Which Marketing Ideas Are Best for Your Business

By Jennifer McCay Did something catch your eye in a direct mailing this past week? Have you recently gone to a website and encountered something entirely new that caught your attention? Did a friend of yours try out a new marketing idea and generate a few thousand dollars of extra business overnight? As a small business owner, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the hype of new marketing techniques that promise quick rewards for little cash. I’ll even admit that we copywriters are trained to overcome your psychological objections to buying what we’re selling so that you’re ready to whip out your wallet right then and there. And especially in certain marketing circles, the marketing materials for a new whizbang idea are so compelling, you’re driven to dump everything you’ve been doing in order to start trying the latest, greatest end-all be-all marketing technique right away. But this can be dangerous to your bottom line — or even your entire business. Whenever you try out a new marketing idea, it’s important to proceed with caution. Here are 6 quick tips to keep you on track: 1. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” If you have been sending out a direct mailing that steadily brings in business at a rate that you are happy with, don’t stop using this technique just to put new life in your marketing plan. Instead, test different types of offers/approaches/what have you using a small portion of your mailing list (10% is a good start), see what works best and then test some more using that approach as your control. Make sure that you apply whatever you learn from these tests to your other campaigns, and then test some more. 2. Measure your results in order to determine what works best. There’s no reason to try something new if you’re not able to see what works. For example, I recently tested a different approach on a page on my website that is solely dedicated to generating subscriptions to my Avenues to Marketing Success Newsletter. To see if the new copy worked, I sent traffic from one source to the new page and tested the old version of copy against the new. I then tweaked the version that worked best until I found a balance that got the best response from my target audience of small business owners. 3. Marketing isn’t just about the numbers. Sometimes a marketing campaign doesn’t work its magic right then and there. It has a slower, but longer-lasting effect that will generate long-term sales for you and build trust in your group of prospects. This is a concept so near and dear to my heart that I’m literally writing a book on this, in fact, and I have found that over time, even campaigns that don’t generate an immediate boost in income have residual effects that ensure the longevity of your business. So remember that you’re selling to people who need time to warm up to you and might not respond the first time you try a new marketing tactic. Give it a little time. 4. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had clients approach me wanting to use a new marketing idea because 3 people gave testimonials on a website stating that they made millions overnight. I don’t doubt the authenticity of many, many of these testimonials, which often come from reputable marketers who have built a legitimate business rapidly, but there is a reason why the vendors selling these sorts of products use disclaimers stating that the income earned is atypical and may not work out for you. Their market is not yours, their circumstances are not yours, and most good things require work to accomplish, regardless of what is claimed. But don’t let this discourage you. After all … 5. It’s always OK to try something new; just make sure not to discontinue the marketing you’ve been doing that gets results. The 10% rule works here as well. Spend 90% of your time and money on marketing that you know has worked before and will work again and again, and use the other 10% to try new techniques. This way you won’t miss out on a stellar new idea, but you also won’t bankrupt your business if your technique fails. 6. Wait 3 days to decide. That’s all. Just wait. Sure, it’s tempting to jump right in the moment you read scrumptiously mouthwatering copy that shows you how countless business people before you have turned tiny businesses into multimillion-dollar conglomerates ONLY if you buy today, but that’s the point: The copy is designed to get you to act now. Even as a copywriter myself who’s fully aware of the sales techniques involved (and uses them when it makes sense and is ethical to do so), I know how hard it can be to resist the temptation to buy the very moment you encounter it; it happens to me as well, and theoretically I should know better. To ensure that you’re making an educated decision, stick a note in your calendar to revisit the idea after 3 days and see if it still looks as good as it did the day you first encountered it. In any case, expanding your marketing horizons to include new marketing ideas is always helpful if it allows you to learn more about what your prospects are looking for. Just proceed with caution, use a little moderation and you’ll see what works and what doesn’t in short order.

Relationships: Minding Your Manners

By Michelle Vasquez Where have all the manners gone? Im amazed at how being polite seems to be a vanishing art. Recently, Ive seen articles online about how Americans are less well-mannered than we used to be. Taken as a whole, if Americans are less polite, this is affecting every area of society. Where I see it doing the most damage is in relationships. When we first meet a potential mate, we put on our dating face. We show our best side and we mind our manners. After all, we want to make a good impression on the person we are interested in. We want our date to think well of us. As we get to know each other, we begin to get comfortable. Sometimes too comfortable. We begin to let it all hang out. We start showing our sloppy habits or even begin acting in a way that could be obnoxious. We begin to expect our chosen one to accept us as we are. If we develop a committed relationship, we may even stop minding our manners at all, then blame our partners when they call us on the carpet, saying, You knew I was this way when you met me. When people choose to marry, they say they will cherish each other. They promise to love and respect each other. They agree to hold their partnership as valuable. Yet, soon after (or maybe even before they marry) they begin to treat their partners with contempt, disrespect, even with cruelty. Sometimes they even treat strangers better than the one they chose to love. Strange What happened here? Is this a foregone conclusion? Is that just the way it is? Not necessarily, but it can be. Its understandable that we relax when we become comfortable with another person. It doesnt mean we have to relax our manners. I dont mean being stiff and formal with our chosen partner. But its important to keep up the good habits that we used to win our partner. Nothing is just the way it is that you didnt choose to make that way. To say, Thats just the way I am is the same as admitting that you refuse to accept responsibility for your behavior. When you treat your partner with contempt, you are acting contemptibly. When you disrespect your partner, you are disrespecting yourself. Think about the way you acted when you were first getting to know the person you are with. How did you act then? What things did you do to endear yourself to that person? How did you talk to him/her? What have you stopped doing that was helpful? What can you start doing again that will bring back the respect to your relationship? Remember, you have the power to choose more helpful behaviors. When your elders told you to mind your Ps and Qs, maybe they knew what they were talking about!
