Jodi Newland, Executive Director of Daniel’s Grace Charitable Foundation sits with Patricia and Ashley to discuss why she created the foundation, and how it is helping cancer patients.After being diagnosed with terminal colon cancer, and receiving help from people around the country,  her husband, Daniel Burns, realized how important it is to help others and not always put yourself first.  This weighed heavily on him, as he knew he would never be able to repay the kindness he’d received.After Daniel passed, Jodi decided to take steps to honor his last wishes, and created Daniel’s Grace Charitable Foundation.Daniel’s Grace Charitable Foundation helps with the financial struggles that families quite often face when dealing with a cancer diagnosis.  Most people don‘t realize that 40% of dread winners lose their entire life’s savings during the first two years of battling cancer. When the family loses their bread winner’s ability to earn, the battles become much more difficult.Through a social worker, or nurse navigator, patients can apply to the foundation.  The foundation  then helps identify the family’s greatest financial needs ie: rent, utilities etc, and aids the family in bridging the gap.Beyond the financial help, Daniel’s Grace Charitable Foundation supports the emotional aspect of this disease.  Through the Little Red Mailbox, people can spread messages of hope and support. This special,  red mailbox is located in Little Island Park in Sandbridge, and is open to anyone wanting to lend  support or needing to receive or positive messages. There is also a journal in the mailbox where people can write about experiences for others to read.Daniel’s Grace Foundation also sponsors events such as the Concert for Cancer and the Annual Roast on the River. For More Information:danielsgrace.orgFacebook: danielsgracevaInstagram: danielsgracefoundationTo watch this week’s entire episode of Living 757, click here!And if you would like to see someone featured on the show, please send a message to Share@Living757.com and you may just see them here soon!

After Daniel's and Joseph's pa died at the Alamo, the boys joined Sam Houston's brigade to fight for Texas independence. After Santa Anna's surrender, Sam Houston passed around an ear of corn from their meager supplies and encouraged each soldier to take a kernel home so that they could cultivate the arts of peace as nobly as they had mastered the arts of war.

You can’t let them die, you have to keep going. Like having children, but less demanding,” she says. But as she also notes, gardens are very forgiving. “There’s always another year, another season to look forward to, to try again. There is so much beauty, such sensory pleasure, all of which feeds the soul and the psyche.” For Bannerman, scent is key to creating gardens that transport and revive – a subject she explores in her book Scent Magic: Notes from a Gardener. Natural chemical “uppers”, including indole, are present in the fragrance of lilac and jasmine, while the calming qualities of lavender are connected to linalool. Bannerman uses their powers to envelop the home." Garden designer Jo Thompson says it is really important to have an “enclosed garden (the hortus conclusus). “It’s really important to have a place to sit or even a retreat,” she says. “These areas are magical and inspiring. You’re in nature, there’s movement and life but you feel safe...”  American journalist and author Florence Williams has gathered and simplified the research in her book The Nature Fix, which reveals that we are hard-wired to be in the natural world. “Our brains become relaxed because these are things that we are designed to look at, hear and smell,” she says. “The frontal lobe – the part of our brain that’s hyper-engaged in modern life – deactivates a little when you’re outside, while alpha waves, which indicate a calm but alert state, grow stronger.” Korean researchers have found that pictures of landscapes stimulate brain function in... areas associated with empathy and altruism."   Alright, that’s it for today's gardening news.

Daniel is remembered for his popular novel Robinson Crusoe which, at the time, claimed to be second to the Bible in its number of published translations. After Daniel was convicted of treason for one of his political writings, he was punished with time at the pillory. The pillory was essentially a stockade; the hands and head were stuck between two giant beams of wood. The person would stand in the pillory for days. It was a horrible punishment and it was usually reserved for hideous crimes. While Daniel was in the pillory, the crowds did their best to show their support; they sang songs, shouted encouragements, and threw flowers at his feet instead of mud. In 1830, a biography of Daniel said that his stocks were adorned with garlands and that drinks were provided to celebrate Daniel's release. The image of Daniel standing with his head and hands in the stocks surrounded by an adoring audience was memorialized in an 1862 painting by Eyre Crowe. Gardeners will especially notice the flowers strewn on the ground in the foreground. On the right, there are two women struggling to hold on to a large basket of flowers as they are being pushed away by the red coats. Behind the women, a man has managed to attach a small bouquet to the tip of a spear that he is attempting to give to Daniel who is standing calmly in the pillory.   1860  It’s the birthday of the botanical illustrator Mary Vaux Walcott who born in Philadelphia on this day. Gardeners appreciate Mary for her meticulously accurate watercolors of plants and flowers. For this reason, Mary is regarded as the "Audobon of Botany." Mary began her career as an illustrator one summer after being challenged to paint a rare blooming Arnica. Although her effort was only a modest success, it encouraged her to pursue art. In the pursuit of her art, Mary met Charles Doolittle Walcott. They were both doing fieldwork in the Canadian Rockies, and they found they were equally yoked. They married the following year. At the time, Charles was the secretary of the Smithsonian; that's how Mary was tapped to develop the Smithsonian process printing technique. Mary created hundreds of illustrations of the native plants of North America. Her five-volume set entitled North American Wildflowers showcases the stunning beauty of common wildflowers, many of which are at peak bloom right now. In addition to her work as a botanist, Mary was a successful glacial geologist and photographer. She was the first woman to summit a peak over 10,000 feet in Canada when she tackled Mount Stephen. Today Mary even has a mountain named after her in Jasper - Mount Mary Vaux.   1895  Today is the anniversary of the death of Richard Morris Hunt, who was an American architect during the gilded age. Gardeners know Richard for his collaborations with Frederick Law Olmsted. They worked together on the Vanderbilt mausoleum and the Chicago world‘s fair. Their ultimate collaboration occurred in Asheville, North Carolina, where they worked together to design the gardens, house, and manor village for the Biltmore Estate. Richard is often recognized as the Dean of American Architecture. He was the first American trained at the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. If you get the chance to walk around Central Park, you’ll discover a memorial to honor Richard Morris Hunt. The memorial is located on the eastern perimeter of the park, and it was created by the same man who created the monument to Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial: Daniel Chester French. When he was alive, Richard wanted to elevate the public taste in design and the arts, but he was also flexible enough to meet them where they were. Modern-day designers will recognize the truth of Richard’s advice to other Landscape Architects. He said, "The first thing you've got to remember is that it's your clients' money you're spending. Your goal is to achieve the best results by following their wishes. If they want you to build a house upside down standing on its chimney, it's up to you to do it."   1917  Today is the anniversary of the death of the Irish war poet and soldier Francis Ledwidge. Francis grew up in the Irish countryside. When he became a writer, he established himself as the "poet of the blackbirds." Francis was killed in action during World War I at the Battle of Passchendaele.   When the clouds shake their hyssops and the rain Like holy water falls upon the plain, 'Tis sweet to gaze upon the springing grain And see your harvest born. And sweet the little breeze of melody The blackbird puffs upon the budding tree, While the wild poppy lights upon the lea And blazes 'mid the corn. — Francis Ledwidge, A Rainy Day in April   Broom out the floor now, lay the fender by, And plant this bee-sucked bough of woodbine there, And let the window down. The butterfly Floats in upon the sunbeam, and the fair Tanned face of June, the nomad gypsy, laughs Above her widespread wares, the while she tells The farmer's fortunes in the fields, and quaffs The water from the spider-peopled wells. The hedges are all drowned in green grass seas, And bobbing poppies flare like Elmo's light While siren-like the pollen-stained bees Drone in the clover depths. And up the height The cuckoo's voice is hoarse and broke with joy. And on the lowland crops, the crows make raid, Nor fear the clappers of the farmer's boy, Who sleeps, like drunken Noah, in the shade. And loop this red rose in that hazel ring That snares your little ear, for June is short  And we must joy in it and dance and sing, And from her bounty draw her rosy worth. Ay! soon the swallows will be flying south, The wind wheel north to gather in the snow Even the roses spilt on youth's red mouth Will soon blow down the road all roses go.  — Francis Ledwidge, June   1972   It was on this day that the horticulture program at the Smithsonian Gardens was established by Sydney Dylan Ripley, who served as the secretary of the Smithsonian. An American ornithologist and conservationist, Sidney had been inspired by the area around the Louvre in France as a child. With the Louvre always in the back of his mind, Sidney hoped to make the Smithsonian a bustling destination with activities to engage crowds of visitors and tourists. The horticultural services division was created to provide landscaping in and around the Smithsonian museums. Sidney knew that gardens not only attracted pollinators but people as well. In 2010, the Smithsonian horticultural program was renamed the Smithsonian Gardens to recognize the central role that the gardens play in the visitor experience.   Unearthed Words Today we say, “Goodbye, July. Until next year, we’ll miss you.”  Today’s words are about the fleeting summer.   Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day. — Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist and poet   You have seen the blossoms among the leaves; tell me, how long will they stay? Today they tremble before the hand that picks them; tomorrow they await someone's garden broom. —Hanshan, Chinese Tang Dynasty   Grow That Garden Library Outstanding American Gardens by Page Dickey This book came out in 2015 and the subtitle is  A Celebration: 25 Years of the Garden Conservancy.

Avocado is a fruit, and it was initially called an alligator pear by Sir Hans Sloane in 1696. And, Guinness has a giant avocado recorded at 5 pounds, 6 and ½ ounces. Don’t forget that the skin of an avocado can be toxic to cats and dogs - but the flesh of an avocado is higher in potassium than bananas. Now, the next time the price of avocados gets you down, remember that avocados are harvested by hand. Pickers need to use a 16-foot pole to reach the hanging fruit. And, finally, here’s a little fun fact about avocados: The conquistadors used avocado seeds to write. It turns out, the avocado seed produces a milky liquid that changes to the color red when exposed to air.

Daniel and Wendy Gade share a little different transition story than you may be used to if you've listened to our podcast before. After Daniel was seriously wounded in combat in Iraq he and Wendy had to learn how to adjust to their new normal in the recovery phase and afterwards.

Though leaders come and go, God remains. This session extols God’s unlimited power and goodness while reminding us that our faith glorifies His name. Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, along with Daniel, grew in their commitment to Yahweh despite their harsh surroundings (1:8-21). After Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (2:31-45), these men oversaw Babylonian affairs under the names Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When commanded to worship the king’s golden image, these faithful servants refused. Through their unwavering resolve, we learn that our God is always with us and that He glories in our faith.

This Podcast Episode continues with answering the question, what does the book of Revelation mean?  My focus for answering this question is on the statement that the Messiah told John, when he said that those who do the commandments of God will have a right to the tree of life, and they will be allowed to enter through the gates into the city. Revelation is warning those of us living on the earth today to prepare for a great tribulation that could possibly reach a greater height than that of the Spanish inquisition. As a result of this, I decided to look at the fourth commandment of God; to remember the sabbath day. My search took me through the following paths: Exodus 31:12-18 Daniel Roman History on the Emperors Revelation Current events with the Vatican and Sanhedrin Exodus 31:12-18 God said to Moses: Speak to the Israelite people and say: Nevertheless, you must keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between Me and you throughout the ages, that you may know that I the Lord have consecrated you. You shall keep the Sabbath for it is holy for you, etc. Most importantly, is that God has placed His identifying mark on the seventh day, for all people who profess to worship Him.  Therefore, God's people have received His seal of identification if you are doing what is required by Him in regarding to the seventh day sabbath. Of greater importance, is that God said it is a sign between Him and His people for as long as they live. In retrospect, my personal experience has proven to me that this statement is absolutely true.  When I started doing God's appointed sabbath, I was often asked, "are you Jewish?" Daniel In this book Daniel, chapter 2: 31-41 explains to King Nebuchadnezzar that over time his kingdom was going to be ruled by a fourth kingdom who would be known for their iron characteristics. After Daniel described the image of the stature to the king, he tells him that towards the end of the ages the iron kingdom would be partly strong and partly weak. In the end, God is going to destroy the iron kingdom and set up a new kingdom on the earth that will never be destroyed. Following this further, in Daniel 7; Daniel falls asleep on his bed and starts to dream. Upon waking up, he immediately writes down the vision of his dream. In the dream 4 beasts are violently fighting each other. The fourth beast is extremely strong, has iron teeth,10 horns, tramples the other beasts and is different from the other beasts. Although Daniel 2, and 7 appear to be two different visions, the meaning of the visions is in fact the same. Firstly, iron is represented as the leg and feet in the stature, as well as the teeth of the fourth beast. Secondly, four kingdoms represent the stature and the beasts. Thirdly, God is going to destroy the fourth kingdom and set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. In light of the vision, Daniel asks for clarity. The man of God tells him that the 10 horns is 10 kings from the kingdom, and one of the kings is going to be different from all the previous kings. Furthermore, the king that is different is going to conquer 3 of the other kings. Likewise, this king is going to speak arrogant words against God, and he is going to persecute the saints of God; as well as act on his heart's intent to change times and laws. And the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time. Roman History on the Emperors These 10 Roman Emperors ruled during the Iron age, which was from 1 to 400 AD. The following 10 Roman Emperors obtained the highest title of Augustus: a) Augustus aka Octavian b) Tiberius ruled 14 - 37 AD c) Nero ruled 54 - 68 AD d) Vespasian ruled 69 - 79 AD e) Trajan ruled 98 - 117 AD f) Hadrian ruled 117 - 138 AD g) Marcus Aurelius ruled 161 -180 AD h) Septimius Severus ruled 193 - 211 AD i) Diocletian ruled 284 - 305 AD j) Constantine ruled 306 - 337 AD All things considered,

After Daniel’s last deployment he was looking to start his own business. He had some experience and education in accounting so that field made the most sense. When he discovered the Bookkeeping Business Launch program, he decided to take the leap. [3:50] Painters were the niche that Daniel served, mainly due to running a painting business of his own in college and because he knew where to find them and no one was serving the market directly. [5:10] Daniel planted a lot of seeds early on, including LinkedIn, guest blog posting, and more, that netted him his first few clients. [7:00] Bookkeeping for the first time was the first challenge that Daniel had to overcome. Once he started taking on clients, finding good people to help him scale his growing business was the major hurdle. [9:00] Daniel had to get himself out of the business so that it can continue without him due to having to deploy in the near future. This gives him flexibility once he returns to the business when the deployment ends. [11:30] The value that Daniel’s business provides involves advising clients on their own businesses. Daniel and his staff understand the back end of the painting niche so well that the relationship becomes more than bookkeeping. They provide consulting and advice on growing their client’s business and the technology involved. [15:30] In regards to feedback, knowing the important KPI’s for the painting business, in addition to the bookkeeping, gives Daniel an edge over his competitors. [17:10] System building is Daniel’s focus, so much so that he’s going to come out to one of Ben’s events to show other bookkeepers how to do it. [18:50] Daniel finds meeting with people and having conversations to be very fatiguing, indicating that he’s probably an introvert. [21:10] Niching is very important. If you figure out your target market first, you will see results earlier on. If you can’t find a niche, find a client and figure it out later. Processes are important before you bring people on, get your processes 80% done before hiring. [26:00] Daniel’s current bottleneck is that his business needs more advisors in order to scale, and finding the right person with the right personality traits and knowledge base is quite the challenge. He uses the DISC personality test quite a bit to make sure that the team members in his business are working to their strengths. Without his current advisor, Daniel’s business would seriously struggle. [32:15] One is none, and two is one. Redundancy and cross training can mean the difference between a difficult challenge and a disaster. What Daniel should do is write out the activities that he needs to duplicate with his current advisor and prioritize them. If you’re looking to hire, first you need to define the work that you need to have done. [40:20] Daniel may actually be looking for two people. The interview process should ultimately represent the way they are going to be serving your clients. [42:25] Before looking outside, you should look within your organization for people that could potentially take on your new role. If you can promote someone up, it’s usually easier to find someone to take on the simpler role. Once you exhaust your low hanging fruit, it’s time to put your posting out there in as many places as possible. [47:05] It may make sense to split up the role into its component parts, especially if all together it would be very rare to find a single person with all the necessary skills. For Daniel, that may mean splitting the job up into a sales oriented role and a separate advising role. [52:10] Sometimes you have to go back to the well and just do the things that worked before. But before you bring someone on full time, you have to really test out the relationship and make sure they are going to be the right one. It may take some time, but it’s easier and less difficult than hiring the wrong person. [56:50] As business owners, you have to figure out every new challenge that comes your way because the buck stops with you. Beware the anecdote, what works for someone else may not help for you. Take the advice and tailor it to your individual needs.

Steve Wiggins (Daniel 1:1-21)After Daniel loses everything while Israel was captive in Babylon, he still chose to have faith in the Lord, and not in the temple or other religious items. Although he may have surrendered his identity in name, he also continued to surrender himself completely to G-d's word.
