A Visit to The Nursing Home.
On Sabbath,the 27th of November, just a few days after Thanksgiving, 7 young men included myself, decided to visit the nursing home in Dallas Georgia, as a Ministry that was started several years ago.This afternoon was a little on the cold side,but our faith was resolute and our minds were made up to put a smile on someone's face.
We arrived at the Nursing Home and the "Spirit led seven" were ready to share some joy to the residents of this facility.Do you know that many mothers and fathers have been taken to nursing homes across this great country, to die a lonely life?.You should see the tears and hear the cries of these wonderful people, whose bodies and minds are rapidly failing them,and now they are crying out for someone to love them. I am so thankful, that there is a God, that promise us that, He will never leave us or forsake us, and that He will be with us always until the very end!!. That is "Good News". Let us not forget that we too are getting older, and this could be one of our stops(nursing home)before we are called to the grave.
Yes we had a wonderful time with our senior citizens, and we were blessed,as they show their appreciation,in words and in songs.We now have a better understanding, that it is more "blessed to give than to receive".This wonderful day proved beyond a shadow of doubt that, to live is to give and remember it doesn't matter how small or large as long as it is done from the heart.

Sleep Your Way to a Healthier Heart.
By Danielle Dowling

Reviewed by QualityHealth's Medical Advisory Board
To sleep provides more than a chance to dream. Scientists are waking up to the fact that the right amount of shut-eye restores bones, gives the brain a much-needed break from the daily grind, and prevents a whole host of maladies, including heart disease. In 2007, British researchers reported that snoozing five hours or less every night doubles a person's risk of developing a cardiovascular illness. Here are a few other reasons more quality sack time should be priority No. 1 for the 63 percent of Americans who get less than eight hours of sleep each night:
A lack of Z's can clog your arteries. An article in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association claimed that study subjects who slept five hours or less were more likely than their better-rested peers to accumulate calcium deposits in their coronary arteries, a condition that can make the arteries less flexible and lead to heart disease. Researchers concluded that those who got less than the recommended eight hours every night could cut their calcification risk by a third and enjoy a blood-pressure drop as great as 16.5 points if they added just one hour of sleep to their nightly routine.
That overnight dip in blood pressure goes a long way in helping heart-disease patients. A study of 1,255 Japanese adults diagnosed with high blood pressure found that those who got less than seven and half hours of slumber were almost twice as likely to suffer and/or die from a cardiac event such as a heart attack; that risk was doubly greater for patients who slept for only brief periods of time and were prone to the riser pattern, in which blood pressure remains elevated even during non-REM sleep, when it usually drops.
The chronically sleep deprived stand a greater chance of heart disease via diabetes and/or obesity. A deficit of restful slumber has been linked to diabetes and obesity, two conditions that also have ties to cardiovascular illnesses since insulin resistance and inflammation play a major role in the deterioration of the cardiovascular system. Researchers at the University of Chicago observed that after less than one week of getting just half of the standard eight hours sleep a night, test subjects exhibited changes in endocrine function and glucose tolerance that suggested the early stages of diabetes. They also determined that sleep deprivation caused the levels of leptin in the blood to decrease resulting in an increase in appetite. I hope this article prove a blessing to you.http://www.chinssolution.com

Train Up A Child.
An infant's smallness and adorable innocence often draw the attention of nearby adults. They know that a newborn life is a gift of great value. But as the infant grows, the parents realize the great responsibility of rearing the child. They know that the child needs to be taught, not just cared for. A multitude of child rearing books on bookstore shelves attest to the fact that raising a child takes great wisdom.
At the heart of every good parenting principle lie Solomon's words of Prov.22:6,"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." The verb for train means "to dedicate," and the word for way generally refers to living correctly in God's sight(see Prov.15:10). Solomon was advising parents to set their child aside for special use, to dedicate him or her to the Lord and His path. The verb train includes the idea of stimulating the child to do good- through words of guidance, discipline, and encouragement on the right path.This is a parent's main task, to receive as a charge from the Lord and then to dedicate the child to God's ways.
Some have taken the line "when he is old he will not depart from it" as a promise. They believe it to be a guarantee that proper parenting will always result in a child's salvation. Proverbs, however, present general principles, not promises. This verse gives parents the assurance that the lessons learned in childhood will last a lifetime. Whether their child learns to follow the Lord will in part, depend on his or her own choices. But lessons driven home at the crucial stage of childhood will not go away. Hence the need for parental discipline and guidance.
God promises to enable parents for their task, not to make decisions for the child. Each generation is responsible for its own relationship to God. But even without a promise, this proverb remains wise advice for every parent. Dedicating a child to God's ways is the best course to set.If we provide a positive environment for our children,they will have a better chance of being productive citizens in this world and the one to come.

Foods that Trigger Migraines .
By Jeanne Faulkner
Reviewed by QualityHealth's Medical Advisory Board
If you're one of 36 million Americans who suffer from migraines, what you put in your mouth may go to your head. For some, certain foods pull the trigger that leads to crippling headaches.Reviewed by QualityHealth's Medical Advisory Board
What is a Migraine Trigger?
The American Council for Headache Education says there are specific factors that increase risks for having a migraine. Triggers don't cause migraines. Instead, they're thought to activate processes that cause them in people prone to getting migraines. Not every migraine sufferer has the same triggers and they may not cause migraines every time.Many common foods contain substances that trigger migraines.
1. Tyramine, a byproduct of protein breakdown in certain foods, is a big troublemaker for some migraine sufferers. It increases blood flow to the brain. Tyramine is found in aged cheeses, processed meats, pickles, onions, olives, certain types of beans, raisins, nuts, avocados, canned soups, and red wine.
Watch out for these cheeses: blue cheeses, cheddar, Stilton, feta, gorgonzola, parmesan, Swiss and processed cheeses (among others).
2. Chemicals, dyes, nitrites and additives in processed foods are common migraine triggers that cause headaches by increasing blood flow to the brain. Headaches associated with additives may be different than classic, one-side-of-the-head migraines. They're more likely to cause pain on both sides of the head and may be accompanied by abdominal discomfort, a burning sensation or pressure in the chest, mouth or throat and dizziness. These types of headaches usually appear within an hour or so after eating.
Stick to whole foods instead of processed to limit the chemical and additive products that may cause migraines.
3. MSG (sometimes found in Chinese food and processed foods) and food coloring are infamous headache triggers. Even seemingly "healthy" choices like juices and soups may contain additives so read labels carefully.
4. Extremely cold foods trigger migraines in some people. Ice cream and ice-cold beverages can cause "brain freeze" in anyone for a few minutes. For people with migraines though, these foods can trigger a full migraine attack.
5. Sometimes it's what you don't eat that triggers migraines. Dramatic blood sugar dives caused by skipping meals can trigger headaches in almost everyone. For people prone to migraines, not eating can lead to disaster.
Eat a balanced diet and don't skip meals.

Today is yet another wonderful day. I was awaken with joy in my heart and gratitude for seeing another day. I have learned over the years never to take waking up in the morning for granted, because the only reminder that I need, is go to the obituary section of any newspaper in the world, and see how blessed and fortunate I am. I did my morning walk and the crisp air and the morning sunlight just seem to be caressing my face. In the background I could hear the birds greeting me with their songs, and honestly how could I not have an attitude of gratitude!

The G-Spot: Myth or Reality?
By Rosemary Black
Reviewed by QualityHealth's Medical Advisory Board
Reviewed by QualityHealth's Medical Advisory Board
The G-spot is an elusive pleasure zone that some women swear provides them with an intense sexual experience and some researchers doubt even exists. While it has never been definitively located, many women believe they have a small area in the front of their vagina that, when stimulated, results in an intense orgasm. Though researchers still are divided on whether it's real, try telling that to women who claim they have better orgasms because of it.
The so-called G-spot is named for Ernst Grafenberg, a German gynecologist who identified it more than 50 years ago. More recently, a large study on the much touted spot took place in Britain. When British researchers looked for the G-spot in a study that was reported in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, they found no proof of its existence.
The research, by a King's College London team, involved 1,800 women, all pairs of identical and non-identical twins. All the women were asked if they had a G-spot. Theoretically anyway, it would be expected that identical twins having the same genes would either have it or not have it.

In the study, though, the identical twins were no more likely to have a G-spot than the non-identical twins. The researchers concluded that the female hot spot may just be a figment of women's imagination. "We postulate...that the reason for the lack of genetic variation is that there is no physiological or physical basis for the G-spot," wrote the study authors in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
Beverley Whipple, a sexologist who according to BBC News has helped make the G-spot theory popular, said the study is flawed because researchers hadn't accounted for the sexual experiences of bisexual and lesbian women. Whipple also noted that having different sexual partners with different lovemaking techniques could influence the study's outcome.
Ian Kerner, Ph. D., the author of She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman, notes that clitoral orgasms are frequently criticized for being "quick and light-hearted." G-spot orgasms, he explains, are labeled more "serious and substantive." Yet, Kerner contends, a study of anatomy reveals that all orgasms are clitoral. So is it all that important to know whether the orgasm originates in the G-spot or the clitoris? As Kerner says, "Irrespective of anatomy, it would be hard to dispute this area's erogenous potential."
Whether or not the G-spot actually exists isn't all that important, says marriage and family therapist Cathie Helfand, MS, and women shouldn't worry if they can't find it.
"A woman's goal of sexual arousal is much more important than whether there is a spot or not," she says. "If a woman does something and it feels good, that's what is the most important, not a part of anatomy that has a name."

A Prayer for Muslims
Another election wrapped up, another terrorist plot averted. While I’m not suggesting this week’s two biggest headlines have any connection, have you ever wondered how proactive God is in the life of our civilization? He probably doesn’t keep an electoral scorecard of favorite politicians, and he certainly isn’t the author of evil conspiracies. Nevertheless, could it be that he is personally, actively very much engaged in what goes on around this planet? Let me explain.
I find particular comfort in a dusty line from the ancient prophet Daniel: “[God] changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings” (Daniel 2:21, 22). The New Living Translation renders that line, “He determines the course of world events.” Does that mean God works through the electoral processes of a democracy to put individuals into leadership/office who are sympathetic to his own agenda for humanity? He certainly did that with Nebuchadnezzar, the despot of Babylon who became a defender of the true God through the influence of Daniel.
History has repeatedly shown that all it takes is one receptive leader, open to the intervening Spirit of God, to protect God’s “defenseless” community of faith and thus advance the divine agenda and mission on earth.
But averting terrorist plots? Consider Daniel’s further depiction of our proactive God: “He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him” (Daniel 2:22). Do you realize what might have happened had the “underwear bomber” last Christmas and the two cargo plane package bombs discovered this week (both plots linked to the same Islamic terrorist organization) successfully detonated? With no immediate or obvious clue for the explosion(s), air travel as we know it would certainly have been instantly halted—impacting international commerce, exchange, finances, economics, politics in ways we cannot now fathom. And we can only imagine the deleterious effects on the growth of God’s kingdom on earth. But the evil that is plotted in darkness is seen and known to the God who is light. “He determines the course of world events.” Which is why I pray two prayers when I read of averted terror—#1, thanks be to God, who has once again prevented the closing of a global door to the advance of his everlasting gospel on earth; and #2, God be merciful to his 1.4 billion Muslim children and protect them from the raging backlash
that would diminish their openness to the truth about His character. A century ago Ellen White observed: “In the annals of human history the growth of nations, the rise and fall of empires, appear as dependent on the will and prowess of man. The shaping of events seems, to a great degree, to be determined by his power, ambition, or caprice. But in the word of God the curtain is drawn aside, and we behold, behind, above, and through all the play and counterplay of human interests and power and passions, the agencies of the all-merciful One, silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will” (Education 173). Elections and terrorist plots included? But of course. Which is why he is God. And why we can be very grateful.

Happy sabbath Day. Indeed this is the day that the Lord has blessed and sanctified, so let us rejoice and be glad in it.Did you know this day teaches us to be unselfish? We are thinking about others and not ourselves.We are thanking our creator for this opportunity to have this intimate relationship with Him.This is like a birthday celebration, when our focus and attention is drawn away from "us" and to the one we are celebrating.This is also what Love is all about, not self centered but others centered.

#5 The Great Ones Separate Truth From Fact.
| While average performers tend to believe truth and fact are the same, the world class knows there is a difference. Champions use their critical thinking skills to make a clear distinction between truth and fact. Fact is reality. Truth is our perception of reality, and perceptions are subjective. One person perceives giving to charity as an expense, while another perceives it as an investment in someone else’s life. The fact is that many people give to charity; whether it’s an expense or an investment is a perception. Which line of thinking represents truth? |
| Both. In the minds of individuals, perception equals truth. This subtle distinction allows the great ones to understand themselves and others at a higher level of awareness. The masses tend to operate from truth, which is often a distorted version of facts. Champions make decisions based on facts, not feelings. The world class also uses this understanding of truth and fact in their mental programming. The great ones know the conscious mind functions most effectively on fact, while the subconscious can be programmed with truth. Since the subconscious is unable to make the distinction between fact and truth, champions program their subconscious minds to believe their visions, dreams and ideas as truths. Because the subconscious doesn’t have the ability to reject an idea, it accepts it as truth and begins to create behaviors that are congruent with this new “truth.” The conscious mind knows this “truth” is not fact, and tension begins to build between the conscious and subconscious, creating cognitive dissonance. As a result, the two go to work to create congruency. The great ones are not only aware of the difference between truth and fact, but they also know how to use them both to get what they want. |
Action Step for Today: Write down 10 things you know are fact, and rethink each by asking, “Is this really a fact, or a truth I’ve created from my own or others’ perceptions?” For example: is it a fact that the sky is blue? Is it a fact that you are a nice person? Is it a fact that the faithful will be rewarded in heaven? You’ll see how often we operate from truth, rather than fact.

For some people, leaving the workforce is a long-held dream. For others, the thought of giving up the job they've had for years is a great source of anxiety. If retirement is something that scares you, it's important to be well prepared for this major life transition. How can you make this time in your life enjoyable rather than stressful?
One of the most important things you can do is get your finances in order. Obviously, a huge fear that people have about retirement is being short of money. If you haven't accumulated a seven-figure nest egg, consider trying to:
One of the most important things you can do is get your finances in order. Obviously, a huge fear that people have about retirement is being short of money. If you haven't accumulated a seven-figure nest egg, consider trying to:
- Cut down on spending. Some people spend less once their children are finished with college and out of the house. Others find that their schedule now permits frequent vacations, nights on the town, and expensive meals out. Before opening your wallet, ask yourself if what you want is something you can live without. Anything you save can be put into your company 401K or other savings vehicle, such as an IRA. Not only will you find yourself with a bigger cushion when you do stop working, but you'll be acclimating yourself to a more modest lifestyle that will help you stretch your dollars.
- Stay in the workforce. If you're not forced out of your job, consider staying on for a few years. You'll bring in an income for a longer period and will build up more in retirement benefits. Staying on the job may also allow you to postpone collecting retirement benefits such as your pension or social security payments. Doing this will mean higher annual payouts when you do finally collect.
- Start A Home Business. This could be a real and viable option and so many people are doing this and find that they don't have to worry about retirement.Obviously finding a business that is real and honest that requires some searching.http://www.chinssolution.com
#4 Champions Are Driven By Emotional Motivators
The masses are primarily motivated by extrinsic motivators, such as material possessions and money. The world class is motivated intrinsically, by their dreams, desires and passions. External motivation is short lived, while internal motivation is nearly impossible to exhaust until the goal is achieved. The rah-rah, jump-up-and-down motivational pep talks are fun and temporarily motivating, yet lack the real fire emotional motivators generate. World-class leaders know the secret to motivating themselves and others is discovering what they will fight for when the going gets tough. The great ones move from logic-based motivators to emotion-based motivators. They know the key to finding the true power of the individual lies in the deep recesses of the psyche. The process great leaders and coaches use is tedious, time consuming, and simple: ask questions, and don’t stop until you have landed on the emotional hot buttons. World-class coaches keep digging until they hit the vein of gold – when the performer begins answering in terms of how they feel, as opposed to what they think. When they hit the vein of gold, they continue to probe until the performer reaches an emotional high point, known in performance circles as the white moment. The white moment is the strongest emotional driver of a performer. Coaches use emotional drivers to motivate and inspire performers to push far beyond their threshold of pain, to accomplish feats that, without this level of motivation, would be impossible. http://www.chinssolution.com
