[entrepreneurs] I'm going to dinner with Ron Paul. Wanna go?

 

No matter what you think of Ron Paul, here is an
opportunity to go to dinner with a national leader
and the only member of Congress that I believe
actually understands economics.

Yes, I'm taking the kids.

If you would like to go with us, here are details:

http://EducatingforSuccess.com/dinnerwithronpaul

Email me before you register for some suggestions on
how to attend this weekend event inexpensively.
Labor Day not only symbolizes the end of summer, it
historically celebrates the economic and social contributions
of American workers.

Yet, if you are as discouraged about the economic condition
of our country as I am, you may not feel like celebrating our
national accomplishments.

The workshop I am taking my children to in October is not
for everyone. It is sponsored by the Mises Institute which
supports conservative values and features some amazing
Austrian economists and teachers.

If you need a shot in the arm to restore your faith in America,
go to this weekend seminar with me.

Let me know if you have questions.

And no matter what you think of America these days, we still
have a lot to be thankful for.

Have a great Labor Day with your friends and family!

So many books, so little time...

Rhea!
who believes we need to raise Godly leaders to save this
great country of ours

P.S. Don't forget to join me Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 9 PM
Eastern Time to learn about our Christmas Card Contest!
Here's where to register:

[marriagerestoration] He Who Promised, Is Faithful!! - Aug. 31, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

He Who Promised, Is Faithful!!

Heb. 10:23 "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he who promised is faithful."

God is not a man that He should lie; nor the son of man that He should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Numbers 23:19)

Whatever is your situation, you can trust God to bring it to pass. Your marriage may be sick and needs healing, but God is able to deliver you, if you will trust Him.

Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not; for I am with you. Be not dismayed; for I am your God. I will strengthen you; yea, I will help you; yea, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness."

God is working behind the scenes on your behalf. He Who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it. Remember, there is power in your words and power when your words are in agreement with His Word. As you hold on to your confession of hope, you'll see His faithfulness, and you'll move forward into victory in every area of your life.

I am an encourager and would never tell you to quit or give up no matter how hopeless the situation looks. I know God is faithful. His thoughts are higher and His ways are different. It's not in me to be negative.

I won't tell you to give up, no matter how dim your situation looks. I will tell you to wait, to hold on, and to persevere. God is faithful. He cares for you! He will never leave or forsake you. He who promised is faithful.

If you are relying on God to do this for you, you are relying on One who is reliable, faithful and true to His word. God has yet to break a promise. He has made us many promises and not one will be broken because He who promised is faithful.

I am praying and interceding on your behalf daily. Will you consider in your heart today to support this Ministry? Thaks in advance for your prayers and support.

Be encouraged

[marriagerestoration] He Is Your Bridge...Aug. 30, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

Life is hard. There is no doubt about it. It seems that there is always another hurdle to jump, always another problem. Marriages are crumbling. Spouses are walking away from their marriages. Seeking to live against their vows. Big problems, little problems, lots of problems. Troubles on every side.

But then there is Jesus. He knows. He warned us, "In this world you will have trouble." But He went on to say, "I have overcome the world." And Jesus lay down His life for us, on the cross, to overcome this world so that we may have eternal life in the next. Our lives are troubled. But Jesus came like a bridge over troubled water. "I will lay me down."

Isaiah 41 "I am with you!I will never leave you. Fear not! I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you." Our God is for us, a firm foundation in a shaky world.

Jehoshaphat was afraid and the fear moved him to ask God for help. . .and he prayed "Do You not rule over all the kingdoms of every nation? In Your hand are Power and Might, so that none is able to withstand You. We have no might to stand against these great armies that are coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes and our ears are upon You.

Today, Jesus is your Bridge over troubled water. As one singer says: "When you're weary, Feeling small. When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all, like a Bridge Over Troubled Water."

So when you're weary, feeling small, when tears are in your eyes, HE will dry them all. HE's on your side, when times get rough and friends just can't be found...when evening falls so hard, HE will comfort you....HE'll take your part when darkness comes, and pain is all around.

Prayer: Lord, I know that You are our Bridge over troubled water and no unrighteousness dwells in You. Thank You Lord for the Holy Spirit that dwells in me, to lead me, direct me, guide me, strengthen me and teach me in Your ways.

Thank You that I am more than a conqueror, that I will flourish like a palm tree. I will flourish and prosper. Thank You for destroying the works of the enemy in my life and now Lord, I draw closer to You. I resist the lies of the devil. I will have no fear. I submit to You. I know Your Word promises me that You will lift me up and that I will be victorious. Thank you Lord, In Jesus name, Amen.

Today I am declaring that I am praying and interceding on your behalf. Will you consider it in your heart to support me today? I need your help to continue running this Ministry. Only God knows. Pray for me I ask of you. I cannot say any more at this time. Thanks in advance.

Be encouraged today

[Relationship-Talk] Married to one, in love with another.....

 

Hi,

I don't know if I'm in the right place for this. If I'm not, I apologize beforehand.

I've been married just 3 years. I have a daughter who just turned two.

My wife and I have been having kind of a rocky marriage for about a year now.  Kinda early, I know.  But, thats the way it is now.  We love each other, thats not the problem.  Our problem is communication. We are both rather strong-willed.  And, as such, we can't seem to talk.  We end up quarreling, and then giving each other the silent treatment.

Anyway, a few months ago, I met this woman online. I was not trolling for women to flirt with (I dont do that sort of thing).  We met on an international penpal forum.

She's married too, residing in Germany.

We started talking.  Soon, we were chatting several times a day. Eventually, our talks became closer......more intimate.

Here's the thing : all this time, she never knew I had a wife and kid.  I told her the truth about everything else in my life......except that.

To cut a long story short, we fell in "love".

In June this year, I flew to Germany to meet her.  We spent two days in a hotel, and it was wonderful.  We both realized we were in love.

After I returned home, this woman and I continued our daily talks, but this time it was more intense.  We were on the phone for hours every day. We sent each other dozens of emails....... we chatted on skype........we chatted on yahoo..........and each minute we spent, our love only deepened.

Except, I was in a fix. She did not know I was not single, and I could not bring myself to tell her the truth.

Every day, my heart got heavier and heavier with guilt.  Not so much about lying to her, but because I knew what it would do to her once she knew the truth.

Eventually, she told me she was ready to leave her husband, and start a life with me.

This was the last straw.  I wanted her in my life; I loved her as much as she loved me.  But..........I could not let her take such a step, without telling the truth.

But, instead of being a man, and just telling the truth...............I chose the COWARD's way out :  I tried to break it off with her.

I tried everything I could think of :  I stopped calling her.......I stopped sending emails.  She responded by calling me even more, and sending even more emails.

Our talks on the phone became shorter,  my replies to her emails became shorter.  I did not respond as often to her text messages, etc

She knew something was wrong.

Every hour, she called me and asked :  "Michael, what's wrong??"

And yet, I could not tell her the truth.  I tried everything I could think of : I told her I was ill, and could not talk.  She offered to fly to me, and take care of me.  So, I changed tactics :  I told her I had to go away on a business trip for a while.  She had no intention of letting up with the calls and emails and texts.

By now, she knew something was seriously up.  She begged me to video-call with her on skype, so we could talk.  As we chatted face to face, she asked me point blank :  "I know there is something you are not telling me.  Just say it, whatever it is"

I tried to change the subject; I tried to find any and all excuses possible.  I tld her that she would be happier and better off without me.  I told her that I was not good enough for her.

I even said ---- "God help me" ----- I even said that : I had found someone else.

But, she kept saying :  "I dont believe any of that.  I know you.  Tell me the truth. What aren't you telling me?"

And, thats when they came : the tears.  They ran down my face, and I could not stop them.

When she saw them, she said :  "Michael, you are married, aren't you?"

And thats when I realized, that she had probably suspected it for a while. 

I told her everything.  Wife, daughter, everything.

She cried, I cried.  And, our chat ended.

She was devastated.  She was crushed. 

I sent an email to her.  I hoped it would be the last email. I told her that I was sorry for lying, and that I loved her more than life.  And, I hope she would find someone much better than me someday.

To my astonishment, she replied back later that day, saying that it made no difference if I was married.  She wanted to be with me.

She said she was not going to steal me away from my family.  She knew she could not have me.  But, she would settle for being the "other woman" in my life.  She said :  she would rather be my "secret affair",  than not have me in her life at all.  If that was all I could offer her,  she would gladly take it. And she made it clear that : I was free to do whatever I liked.  She would not stand in my way.  But, I should not send her away !!!

She said :  she would gladly wait 20 years, if I would one day be with her.

I didnt know what to say. I thought I had lost her for good.  (Even today, i still tell her that she should have dumped me right there and then, because I deserved it!)

Every day, she tells me how much she loves me, and wants me.

The truth is :  I feel exactly the same about her. I think about her all the time...........every minute of every day. 

About a week ago, my wife started to notice the change in me. I was spending a lot of time on my phone, writing and texting. I was absent-minded.  I always made sure I had time for my duaghter, of course. But, once my daughter was asleep in bed, I withdrew into myself. I hardly spoke, hardly talked with her.

She suspected something was going on. I don't know what she thought, but she suddenly changed.  She started to talk to me more and more. She no longer sought a fight with me; instead, she sought my advice, my help in everything, even the most trivial issues.  Something she never did before.

Basically, it seemed like she was trying to get back close to me, as we were before. 

Maybe, she guessed I might have found someone else;  and, now, she is trying to fix things with me. Or, maybe it's just my imagination, I don't know.

But..........to be honest, I liked the new change. I had indeed missed having a certain closeness with my wife. I missed our talks. I missed how we used to share everything, talk about everything.

Then, there is the thought that keeps bugging me :  as a husband and father, I have a responsibility to do whatever I can to fix my marriage, and make it work.

And, of course, the guilt is there. I had cheated on my wife, and she doesn't know it.

To top it all off :  the woman I cheated with is not just some bimbo I met and had sex with. I am in love with this woman.  Madly in love.

I just dont know what to do now ((((((((((((((((((((((((

Hi Ken,

Glad you posted on this -- had hoped you would. As you say there are factors to be realized when generalizations are made! One interesting one is that if one takes the fastest African heritage sprinter (except that wonderkund bolt) vs the best European heritage sprinter the time difference? is 2%? Not much really when one realizes how inferior some of these statistics makes certain members of other heritages feel!

From Race and Sport:


"The concept of race has become meaningful only as a broad sociological
concept. This is not to say that genetic makeup is unimportant as a basis for
athletic excellence. This also does not infer that groups of people
distributed around the world do not have advantages in certain athletic
endeavors, as environment, culture, and heredity may be advantageous, in certain
instances, for producing individuals with optimal height, weight, muscle
structure, and temperament for excelling in a particular activity (e.g., Kenyans
and distance running or Norwegians and cross-country skiing). The point,
however, is that such groupings do not represent what is traditionally
believed to be racial groups.
It can be argued that even when certain groups of people scattered around
the world do have predisposing advantages for excelling in particular
activities, individuals who reach world class levels represent the extremes
within group distributions rather than its central tendency. This probably
distorts general perceptions of a group's attributes and makes differences
appear greater than they actually are."

[marriagerestoration] I Am Standing With You - Aug. 28, 2012 - Doreen's Daily Delights

 

I Am Standing With You!!

Good morning. Today I am declaring that those who are going through either separation or divorce in their marriage, I am praying for you and standing with you.

I know without a doubt that God is able to do the impossible in your situation because nothing, absolutely nothing is hard for the Lord.

"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything
you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For
where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them
(Matthew 18:19-20).

Jesus teaches us that there is power in agreeing prayer. Therefore, I
continue to stand with you, to encourage each of you and to agree
with each of you.

I will not grow weary, neither will I give up, I will persevere to the end. I will be like that widow with the unjust judge. I will persevere.

Throughout the Bible we see people in trouble and when times get rough
they consistently wind up with fewer and fewer supporters around them.

In the extreme case of Job, we even see his friends telling him to
repent and change, when he has done nothing wrong. They just assumed
that all of the tragedy and pain that beset him had to be due to sin
in his life. Their response was not to encourage, but to discourage
and challenge him, then to leave him alone.

Today I declare that I am praying and interceding to God on your behalf daily. You may not be supporting or subscribed to this Ministry, but I am praying and interceding for all troubled marriages. Let us stand in ageement with each other.

I want to thank those who have been assisting me in this quest for the healing of marriages. Without your prayers and financial support, there is no way I would be able to encourage and minister to many. I thank God daily for your obedience and faithfulness.

This Ministry is 501(c)(3) certified by IRS and your gift is qualified for tax deductions.

Thanks for your faithfulness.

Be encouraged

One of the more interesting articles on this issue comes from Malcolm
Gladwell:

"The Sports Taboo Why blacks are like boys and whites are like girls."

Just of the few things he notes:

There is a point at which it becomes foolish to deny the fact of black
athletic prowess, and even more foolish to banish speculation on the topic.
Clearly, something is going on. The question is what. If we are to decide
what to make of the differences between blacks and whites, we first have to
decide what to make of the word "difference," which can mean any number of
things. A useful case study is to compare the ability of men and women in
math. If you give a large, representative sample of male and female students a
standardized math test, their mean scores will come out pretty much the
same. But if you look at the margins, at the very best and the very worst
students, sharp differences emerge. In the math portion of an achievement test
conducted by Project Talent-a nationwide survey of fifteen-year-olds-there
were 1.3 boys for every girl in the top ten per cent, 1.5 boys for every
girl in the top five per cent, and seven boys for every girl in the top one
per cent. In the fifty-six-year history of the Putnam Mathematical
Competition, which has been described as the Olympics of college math, all but one
of the winners have been male. Conversely, if you look at people with the
very lowest math ability, you'll find more boys than girls there, too. In
other words, although the average math ability of boys and girls is the same,
the distribution isn't: there are more males than females at the bottom of
the pile, more males than females at the top of the pile, and fewer males
than females in the middle. Statisticians refer to this as a difference in
variability. This pattern, as it turns out, is repeated in almost every
conceivable area of gender difference. Boys are more variable than girls on the
College Board entrance exam and in routine elementary-school spelling
tests. Male mortality patterns are more variable than female patterns; that is,
many more men die in early and middle age than women, who tend to die in
more of a concentrated clump toward the end of life. The problem is that
variability differences are regularly confused with average differences. If
men had higher average math scores than women, you could say they were better
at the subject. But because they are only more variable the word "better"
seems inappropriate. The same holds true for differences between the races

Take the men's hundred-meter final at the Atlanta Olympics. Every runner
in that race was of either Western African or Southern African descent, as
you would expect if Africans had some genetic affinity for sprinting. But
suppose we forget about skin color and look just at country of origin. The
eight-man final was made up of two African-Americans, two Africans (one from
Namibia and one from Nigeria), a Trinidadian, a Canadian of Jamaican
descent, an Englishman of Jamaican descent, and a Jamaican. The race was won by
the Jamaican-Canadian, in world-record time, with the Namibian coming in
second and the Trinidadian third. The sprint relay-the 4 x 100-was won by a
team from Canada, consisting of the Jamaican-Canadian from the final, a
Haitian-Canadian, a Trinidadian-Canadian, and another Jamaican-Canadian. Now it
appears that African heritage is important as an initial determinant of
sprinting ability, but also that the most important advantage of all is some
kind of cultural or environmental factor associated with the Caribbean."

From Race and Sport:


"The concept of race has become meaningful only as a broad sociological
concept. This is not to say that genetic makeup is unimportant as a basis for
athletic excellence. This also does not infer that groups of people
distributed around the world do not have advantages in certain athletic
endeavors, as environment, culture, and heredity may be advantageous, in certain
instances, for producing individuals with optimal height, weight, muscle
structure, and temperament for excelling in a particular activity (e.g., Kenyans
and distance running or Norwegians and cross-country skiing). The point,
however, is that such groupings do not represent what is traditionally
believed to be racial groups.
It can be argued that even when certain groups of people scattered around
the world do have predisposing advantages for excelling in particular
activities, individuals who reach world class levels represent the extremes
within group distributions rather than its central tendency. This probably
distorts general perceptions of a group's attributes and makes differences
appear greater than they actually are."
