It wasn't a fluke, an aberration, a one-off, or a deviation from the elitist norm when the former Chair of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said that "we'll just get rid of all the whites in the United States" as a means to reduce "vaccine refusal." Perhaps this is why we're now seeing a major pivot to ascribing moral and legal liability for "COVID deaths" to "people who spread disinformation", who are of course "racists and white supremacists like Tucker Carlson." You COULD point out that rates of non-vaccination are actually higher among non-whites, to which they would reply, "AH HA! So "systemic racism" (white people) is responsible for these deaths. Facts don't matter to the narrative of the Anti-White Industrial Complex. They're not going to let a good manufactured crisis go to waste. They're not going to let reality stop them from taking their blood libel against whites to its furthest logical conclusion. using the full force of the Federal government.. Comply or die; comply AND die. Pick your poison. Heads they win, tails you lose. This is EPISODE 727 of So to Speak w/ Jared Howe!

Words are living entities. Once said, you can never take them back. You COULD live a life blind to the effects of them, but just because you’re not aware of it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening -------------------- Thanks for listening to this episode of the Podcast.

It's one of the hardest things for any DM to handle: What do you do when the way you see the game and the way the players see the game is no longer in sync? You describe something as super dangerous, and a PC runs up to give it a hug — then the players get angry when it attacks them. Or the players come up with a plan, but when they try to execute it, the actions they take work out more like the Keystone Cops than Seal Team 6. Or the tough, henchmen-level bad guys seem too hard, and players start accusing the DM of cheating for the outcome they wanted. This is no academic discussion. One of our own games is suffering from miscommunication, and it's not fun. Can it be saved? Can yours if it's starting to see some of these same issues? Listen in as Thorin, Tony and Dave dig into the miscommunications issues their games have had (and are having) and talk about why it happens, where it leads, and what can be done to try to save it. 2:00 “The world is this way.” “No, it's not, it's this way.” What is a DM-player communication breakdown? 4:00 When the “super-rare” power you were warned about shows up in the first adventure 8:00 The psychology of D&D: How the game reads behind the screen and to each individual player is vastly different 12:00 Reader question: How to handle recklessly naïve PCs who keep trying to make friends with things they should run from ·        16:00 Demanding very-low DC insight checks to give players a final warning ·        18:00 Embracing multiple fail states to allow a negative outcome that doesn't destroy the party ·        20:00 The smackdown encounter the party can easily escape from ·        22:00 Give the rest of the party an opportunity to intervene ·        24:00 You COULD decide the outreach works in a way that fits your game world 25:00 Do you want to adjust the world to fit your player's understanding/assumptions/mistakes? 29:00 “You didn't have to do that!” When the NPCs do something the players really dislike — and they reject it 35:00 What do you do when an NPC ruins the players' fun? What if it ruins the DM's fun? 38:00 Is the DM getting blamed for the PCs having different goals? 41:00 The interrogation that went very, very wrong (And how much power should a tied-up NPC have?) 49:00 When players start to feel like they don't have agency and you're just pushing them around 53:00 How do you try to fix communication issues that are becoming toxic? 55:00 Did you step on a player character's big moment? 57:00 The Power of Ghatanothoa: What do you do when you reveal the power of the big bad, and players don't (or refuse to) recognize it? 66:00 How often do you ask the players what they're enjoying or not enjoying about the game? Or if they understand what's going on? 73:00 It's just a game: We bring ourselves to our characters and our tables, and in 2020, that can mean extra strain on the group 80:00 Reader question: How do you deal with players who don't provide character backstories? 86:00 Final thoughts Support this podcast

It’s KJ, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed that about 99 percent of the time when I sit down at my laptop, I seem to be doing it solo. Where is this muse of which other writers speak? Sure, I often get in the flow. I can click merrily along at the keys—but inevitably, I hit a spot where the flow jams up in my brain and I don’t know what’s next and I really, really just want to get up and go get a nice cookie. This Minisode is me talking about how I keep going (for 50 minutes).How to listen: if you’ve listened to any previous MiniSodes, this one should already BE in your podcast feed.

What does Black Lives Matter actually stand for in the UK?  Spoken word artist and fashion label True colours explains what it's really like growing up in U.K as a second-generation Nigerian. Prior to Nigeria's independence from Britain, gained in 1960, many Nigerians studied in the UK. This doesn't mean everything has been rosy. True Colours dives deep into the mindsets and ignorance he and of course most has had to endure all of his life.  We of course talk about True colours poetry and fashion labels but I also wanted him to come on and tell us his experiences and point of view at this time in history here In the U.K. True  Colours Takeaways  1.You Could be the inspiration or huge influence to a young person, that might be a neighbour or your child’s friend, never underestimate the power of your words of actions. 2.Its about being different and celebrating this not being the same! 3.BLM is about respect to every human not one community! 4.Get uncomfortable, watch those documentaries or tackle that Acquaintance who’s rolling her eyes about another protest during a pandemic. 5.Writing is freedom. We have a responsibility to keep this going if it’s within us and we have the freedom to express it. 6.Don’t be afraid of asking your friends and love ones their views and feelings at this time.

Hello darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi’s Urusei Yatsura! That’s right, we’re not a one-and-done nor were we meant to be an annual show… even though it has in fact been a year since our last episode. I apologize for that unexpected year-long hiatus, which is entirely my fault. ^^, From here on out I’m hoping to resume production on #LumSquad with AC on our originally proposed monthly schedule. It’s definitely a shame to have such a large gap between the release of the first episode and the second, but hey, it took the Urusei Yatsura manga a year and a half of irregular serialization until it became a proper long-running series, so you can think of our first episode as a pilot and this second episode onward as the real beginning of our regular podcast! Since we covered the manga on our first episode, for our second installment we’re diving deep into the anime! We explore the anime’s production history, how the show changes over its run, the incredible production staff and vocal talent on the show, and tons more! Plus, we rant about Mamoru Oshii’s influence and question common assertions made about the show’s quality, while sharing some thoughts on the show’s eclectic musical score. To top it off, we answer a ton of fan questions, and talk about our favorite episodes of the show! All in all, we spend two and a half hours discussing the anime, and we’ve barely even scratched the surface of stuff we plan to cover in future episodes! Thank you guys so much for being patient with this and looking forward to more #LumSquad! We received a lot of enthusiasm for the first episode and a lot of people asking about when the second would come out over the past months, and I hope you’ll enjoy this episode enough to forgive the wait! And hey, if you don’t want to wait another month for our third episode, check out our recent Manga Mavericks episode on the Urusei Yatsura manga with special guest Dawn from the Anime Nostalgia Podcast, which was a ton of fun and also very informative about the early days of the UY fandom in North America back in the 90s!

Laurie & Matt flashback to high school for the "Essential Question" conversation, "What if You Could do High School Over?" Laurie kicks things off with a principal's office suggestion during "If I Was Principal," and Matt closes out the show pondering the latent beauty of his folding chairs during "That's the Beauty of it All." Music courtesy of Brian Karmelich of Sauce and Virtual Campfire fame. Visit teachersavesworld.com for more details.

Intro: Minutes 0 to 8:00 I have been sick for over a week and feel like I can’t clear my throat. Chandra was sick too but got over it quicker. We have no way of knowing whether we got coronavirus because there are almost no tests in America. I think I caught whatever I have from my son who came home with a bad head cold. As of this recording his school was still open, but our governor, Ralph Northam, announced a state of emergency in Virginia and his school has been closed until March 27. I mention an article I read in the Washington Post about a researcher in Seattle who was told to stop testing samples. We’re suspicious of all the rich connected people who can get tests while the rest of us don’t have access to them. Chandra is missing her tennis fix as new tournaments have been canceled. She’s watching HGTV and cooking shows and I love the new show Dispatches from Elsewhere on AMC. Chandra recommends I watch Watchmen on HBO.   Royals: Minutes 8:00 to 19:20 Harry and Meghan just completed the “You Could’ve Have a Bad Bitch" Tour with their final appearances as royals in the UK. Meghan wore several iconic outfits you probably remember, including the red-caped Safiyaa gown, her blue bodycon Victoria Beckham dress, her white skirt and top by Topshop and Roland Mouret and her green Emilia Wickstead dress and hat. I gush about how open and vulnerable Meghan continues to look, even as she’s being snubbed and treated poorly by her husband’s family. Chandra mentions that Princess Diana had this quality too. We talk about Meghan’s affirmational life and how she’s able to avoid negativity. Chandra thinks Meghan’s fashion has improved so much because she’s finally able to dress like she wants and doesn’t have to dress frumpy to please the royals. She actually looked like she was enjoying herself during the Commonwealth Day service despite all the petty drama with the royals. We laugh about the trolls hating Meghan when she always looks so sweet and composed. Chandra explains the drama over the Sussexes entering Westminster Abbey separate from The Queen, unlike last year’s service. She doesn’t believe the conspiracy that William got told off by The Queen. We got a tip from a reader in London who claims to have insider knowledge from royal sources that William and Harry fell out due to William’s affair. Her connections sounded legit to us. Chandra doesn’t believe that’s the sole reason for the brothers falling out. She thinks it’s more due to William’s treatment of Meghan. Politics: Minutes 19:20 to 22:00 Biden won the next set of primaries and Sanders has yet to step down. Chandra wants me to insert a clip of Biden saying “malarkey” and is ruining my setup. She’s not 100% behind Biden but of course we’re going to vote for him and will be so grateful when he’s president, knock all the wood. She told me about Biden’s coronavirus speech, which I missed because I was napping. It was somewhat boring and wonky, which we miss so much from Obama. Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas: Minutes 22:00 to 27:00 Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas did a paparazzi beach stroll in Costa Rica to celebrate their new relationship. Chandra thinks we should call them Afflarmas, which I forgot to mention in the last post I wrote about them. Ben is 47 and Ana is 31 but looks like she’s in her early 20s. Chandra reminds me of Ana’s Vanity Fair interview where she revealed her sheltered life growing up in Cuba. She also got defensive about her career and I read an excerpt where she denies sleeping her way to the top, essentially. She used to date a very high-level CAA executive named Franklin Latt. I googled him and he looks hot and not too old for her. She’s not the screwed up one here. We wonder if she’s ever Googled Affleck and what advice she’s getting from friends. User Feedback: Minutes 27:00 to 28:15 Miriam is in Kirkland, Washington and lives right near the nursing home where so many people have passed away from coronavirus.

Myles Goodwyn has been a guiding force behind Canadian rockers, April Wine, for 50 years running now, scoring hits in the US, like “Just Between You and Me,” “Roller,” and “You Could’ve Been a Lady.” In 2018, Goodwyn issued a solo album titled Myles Goodwyn - Friends of the Blues, which garnered an East Coast Music Award and a Juno nomination. Now, he’s back with Friends of the Blues volume two, and once again he’s assembled a who’s who of Canadian blues giants, including Jack De Keyzer, Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne and Angel Forrest.Goodwyn, who’s known more for his rock music, talks about how this blues project came about. He also tells us the origin of April Wine’s first hit, “You Could’ve Been a Lady,” and how the band was embraced in the early days of MTV.

Decluttering is my favorite non-Jesus-y thing to talk about, the Eucharist is my #1 favorite of all time but man, confession is a very, very close second! We're going to talk about all the things some people don't ask. The ideas we don't want to face and then the practical ways to open your beautiful gift God has given us! Here we go! Why do you confess sins to a priest? Why not go right to God? Let's talk about the fall of sin. Genesis says God tells Adam and eve if they eat of the fruit they would surely die. But, they didn't die. They ran and hid. So, was he talking about physical death? The first breath of life breathed into man made him a SOUL exulted above all animals. We weren't just given natural life - we were given a natural and a spiritual divine life. So just as cancer can take of our natural life our mortal sin KILLS our supernatural life. The day they ate of it they committed mortal sin and they died in their divine life. When was the next time that Humans had the great rush of God's spirit given to all?? Pentecost... baptism! Please, first thing - go right to God. Holy Spirit gives us direct access to God - repent of them immediately. But were also called to go to the priest. The role of the priest all the way from the old testament to the new was as an intercessor between man and God. Jesus is ULTIMATELY the one who make it possible for us to have access to God, therefore He is the ultimate and only mediator between humans and God BUT... we intercession on each others behalf constantly. God uses people as the MEDIATOR between him and them when they need it. Sin is a time of need. In the old testament priests were given the roll as symbolic mediator between God and Man They would offer up sacrifices for the behalf of sins but it wasn't enough, an animals death wasn't enough for reparation of SINS... until Jesus' sacrifice that our sins were forgiven because the sacrifice was ACTUALLY worthy of the awful that is/was our sins. Then... in the new testament priests serve a more similar role but with even more power. John Ch 20 - Breathes on them, power of the holy spirit and gives them the POWER to forgive sins. It's powerful because not only is Jesus giving a whole new dimension to the priesthood that has been since the OT but he give the apostles the ABILITY to forgive sins. This reveals that Jesus' desire that priesthood to extend his true and complete full forgiveness to those who come in repentance. James Ch 5 - Prayer of forgiveness is a role given to the priest. "Confess your sins to each other" as in any other humans. James Ch 5, the priests were able to give a prayer and the forgiveness was given. Priests don't have the POWER to forgive sins, jesus has given them the authority. Jesus uses THEM to shower is forgiveness. Jeuss is using the priest as his service. Just like God will give you any gifts, you minister those by God's grace through you. In sending his Son with our flesh, he shows he wants to encounter us through a direct contact that passes through the signs and language of our human condition. So, ARE you actually going to God? Jesus gives us a gift of reconciliation. So, if you go straight to God... your sins are for given but have you been received back into the community? Maybe no, it's just between you and God? You've still created worldly damage as well as spiritual. In baptism, I don't have to do anything and my sins are forgiven. It's beautiful! But, let's be honest, it's harder to go to confession because we don't like having to admit our faults out loud. The more we need confession the less we want to do it. Confession is not a place for shame, defeat, ... it is a place of VICTORY! -------------------- Now let's walk through how you actually get yourself into the confessional!  First tip, sit face to face with the priest. It may be hard to do first time but give it a few tries and you'll feel a human contact aspect that the screen doesn't allow us. Forgive me father for I have sinned- Have him walk through the confession with you Act of contritionMy God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. PenanceThe priest normally assigns us a penance (for example, prayer, fasting or other types of self-denial, sacrifices, almsgiving, spiritual or corporal works of mercy, or service of neighbor) as medicine to begin to repair the damage caused by sin, but this penance is light in comparison to the infinite harm our sins have done in bringing about Christ’s death. So we should voluntarily do penance to seek, with God’s help, to expiate our sins and repair that damage (CCC 1460) Sins are forgiven but our souls still need to be healed. What Is Required for it to be a *good* confession?Three things are required of a penitent in order to receive the sacrament worthily: 1) A person must be really, actually sorry for their sins.2) One must confess those sins fully, in kind and in number.3) One must be willing to do penance and make amends for his sins Now, why does the church want to butt into your business with all this confessing stuff anyways? I mean, its 100% confidential. You COULD say it to God but we need that physical help to break down that spiritual and physical barrier. We need this because the Church doesn't want us screwing ourselves over, spiritually. I spoke about it in episode 14 on the Eucharist but if you try to make communion with God when you're not in the right state of accepting his Graces then you could be bringing judgement upon yourself. And the way the church makes sure you're in a state of grace is by confession. Now, no one would ever know if you're in a state of Grace with God but GOD knows. And he's the only one who matters in this whole matter, right? So, the church makes some tiny, measly (in the scheme of life) requirements for being a *practicing* member of the Church. 1. Go to mass on all holy day's and Sundays. This is only like 56 days a year. 52 Sundays + Christmas, Easter, Assumption, All Saints Day. UNLESS you are dispensed from having to go because of illness, caring for someone else who is ill, etc. Basically the sin is when you could have gone but choose not to. Or forgot to because you're a hot mess.2. Receive communion once a year, preferably during Lent. (again, listen to episode 014 for why you want/need the Eucharist so... much... more frequently than just once a year!)3. Go to confession once a year, preferably during Lent. Now, 2 and 3 go hand in hand. You'll probably need to go to confession before you receive communion the 1x a year because we're ALL bound to sin within 365, am I right? No matter how hard you try, it's gonna happen. That's it... but it's the going above and beyond. The making of the effort in your relationship with God that really will deepen the relationship... So, there are special gifts God gives everyone but some surefire way to open yourself up to the reception of the gifts is by partaking in communion and confession regularly. They're great for your soul, all the earthly ways that therapy and friendly and physical communion are BUT they give you the special graces by God to help you combat those sinful things you confessed.   Go sign up for this free, beautiful booklet I created to help you in your confession journey! www.holyhotmessmom.com/iconfess   Don't forget to hook up with me and some other mamas!

This week's blog post and podcast shares how to throw a book launch party. I'm sharing experiences from my own recent party and giving you tips and questions to help you decide if throwing a book launch party is right for YOU! When my latest book, Creative Collaborations, was nearing completion, I decided to throw a local book launch party. For myself. I've NEVER done anything like this before and typically am not the party-throwing (or going) type. Hellooooooo, introvert! Still, this party seemed perfect for the launch of this book and I'm so glad that I did this! Keep reading or listen using the player below (or on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app) to find out what I learned and if a book launch party is right for you! Listen to Episode 120: How to Throw a Book Launch Party It would be amazing if you'd subscribe on Apple Podcasts! Even if you listen through an app, this is what determines my discoverability in the search rankings on Apple Podcasts and in iTunes. Disclosure: This posts contains affiliate links! That means if you purchase something after clicking through a link, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you! How to Throw a Book Launch Party Why I Threw Myself a Book Launch Party There are a lot of reasons you could consider having a book launch party. For me? It started when I saw a really amazing space on Airbnb while researching for a retreat that I am considering in 2018. When I saw it, I thought: I WANT TO DO SOMETHING THERE. My book release date was approaching and happened to fall on the same week as my 40th birthday. Why not rent the space and have a book launch/birthday party? It simply sounded fun! There were other more intentional reasons as well. The book is all about networking and working with others. It seemed fitting to have a party where I could invite friends, family, and the local social media and blogging community. In a recent interview with Joanna Penn on the Creative Penn Podcast, Ryan Holiday (author of Perennial Seller) said that the marketing plan should fit the message or content. When I heard that, I KNEW that this was the right plan for this particular book. WHAT TO CONSIDER IF YOU ARE THROWING YOURSELF A BOOK LAUNCH PARTY 1/ Consider your WHY There are a lot of reasons you may want to throw a book launch party. Before you get to ANY planning, you'll want to think about the goals. I love talking about WHY. My whole course, the Foundation Series (now a part of my bigger course, Blog Growth Boost), is all about applying your WHY to everything. It brings clarity and makes all the other details more clear. Here are some reasons you might want to throw a book launch party: Sell books Gain authority & influence Discoverability Have fun Celebrate with your people To shed some light on these, don't have high expectations on many of these! A book launch party isn't necessarily going to sell tons of books (unless you have a big group that's interested and a lot of copies to sell). It can help people to see you as an authority, especially if you can do some PR outreach and get the event covered in local papers or magazines. If you list the event publicly, like on Meetup or another site, this might increase discoverability. It also opens the door to people you don't know showing up, which might pose challenges like upping the cost if you have a lot of people simply show up. You can definitely have fun (even if you're an extreme introvert like me!) and it's something special to celebrate with your audience. 2/ Consider the ROI As I touched on before, you may not make tons of money throwing a book launch party. You're more likely to lose it. Depending on the sales price for your book (mine was $.99), you may not make tons of money. You COULD find that it helps you reach bestseller in some categories, which mine did. Selling print copies could make more money, but if you're buying author copies from something like CreateSpace or Kindle Print on Demand, you won't see that affect your rankings. Before you toss a lot of money at something, consider what you get back. 3/ Consider your finances Throwing a book launch party may not be a smart financial choice. My party ran about $1000 for 40-50 people. You could absolutely do it cheaper than that, but I made a few choices (like location) that made the price jump. You can totally use a room in a restaurant or a free space for your party and make other cuts to do this on a budget. But I was also able to secure sponsors (more on that in a sec) to completely cover the costs of the book launch party. Before you toss a bunch of money at a party, consider whether you'd make more money running Facebook ads or investing in another kind of marketing. TIPS FOR THROWING AN AMAZING BOOK LAUNCH PARTY Still want to throw a book launch party? I feel you. Clearly. I won't hold you back! Here are some tips to get the best results for the least amount of work and money. Set Your Goals Yep, circling back to this. It will REALLY help with the next few decisions if you know your goals and are clear! Set the Location, Date, and Budget. You'll want these set up before you hit the next one, which is about sponsors. Keeping the goals of the event in mind, pick a location that fits what you want to accomplish. That will likely help set the date, because of availability, or if you want a specific date, that will cut out some locations. I would highly recommend looking at Airbnb and VRBO for some cheaper, out of the box options! Knowing the spot will help you plan for your budget. Reach Out to Sponsors.  This was huge in making my party possible! Start with the brands you use and love. I reached out to Convertkit and Mediavine, which are two companies I love and use. It helps if you already have a relationship and contact there and can actually get a person's email rather than the straight up info @ company name email. I also connected with the local rum distillery, Grateful Dane, and they were able to come out to the event. Kroger, a national brand, sponsored the food for the party. I had worked with them before as well and attended local blogging events, so had an actual contact. Put together a sponsorship package, being very clear about what you can offer. This doesn't have to be in person! Grateful Dane came out to the party, but the other sponsors were digital. I linked to them in posts, talked about them on the podcast and social media, made cards with their logos for the party itself, and sent emails to my list talking about the sponsors. Give them the dates and your social numbers and be as specific as possible about the benefit to THEM. If you want to learn more about sponsorships, you can read a lot more about this and pitching and follow up in Creative Collaborations!  Hire Help. You may want to pay a coordinator or ask a friend to help. I did EVERYTHING from the buying of supplies and food to the cleaning up and sweeping the floor after the party. It was hard. I knew it would be. Realize that if you don't hire someone, this will all be YOU. Make It Valuable to Your Online Community.  I streamed the event live to my Facebook page and group. Well, not the WHOLE event, but the part where I had Madalyn Sklar from Twitter Smarter give my intro and then when I read from the book. That way the people who couldn't be there live could still take part.  IS A BOOK LAUNCH PARTY THE BEST WAY TO LAUNCH A BOOK? In short, a book launch party is probably not the best way to launch in terms of ROI. It can be super fun and a great way to meet your fans and present your book, but if you want straight up ROI and sales, you'll want to follow more tried and true methods for making sales. (I'll have a few links below.) I love innovation, so if you want to be creative and try something that may not work, just count the cost first! Can you afford it to fail? What can you gain and how can you leverage the event even if it doesn't result in tons of book sales? I would not change a THING about my party (other than having the printed books arrive on time) and felt like it was the perfect thing to launch this particular book. Will I have another for my next book? Doubtful. But I would totally go back in time and do this one again. I hope this has help you learn how to throw a book launch party AND if you actually should.

On the podcast this month we've been talking all about product launches. We covered the big picture overview of how to launch a product and how to work with affiliates to help sell your product.  Today is my favorite episode yet. We are going to be talking about how to create a free opt-in offer that leads to the sale of your product. So let's jump in!  What is a free opt-in offer? This comes under many names - a freebie, freemium, lead magnet, opt-in offer, etc. But they are all essentially the same thing. It's an awesome piece of content that you giveaway for free. Your readers sign up for it with their email address.  It's an amazing way to grow your audience but it also provides incredible value for your readers. My readers are always thanking me for the awesome free content I give away!  Benefits of creating an opt-in offer Grows your email list This one is obvious. This is usually the #1 reason why people giveaway an opt-in in offer. They want to build up and grow their email list. This is great, but if you combine it with an email sequence and a product in mind, it can really push the needle!  Nurtures cold subscribers before selling to them A free opt-in gets people onto your email list. And it also nurtures them from cold subscribers into raving fans. Throughout your free opt-in offer and a subsequent email sequence, these new readers really get to know you and build that trust.  Great to share on guest posts A free opt-in offer gives you something extremely valuable to share on other people's blogs as guest posts. You COULD be a guest poster on someone's blog and share your product. But you probably won't get very many sales.  Those readers don't know you from Adam, they don't trust you, they don't yet love you. But GIVE them something awesome for FREE and they get to know you.  Affiliates can share very easily This is usually my #1 reason for creating a free opt-in. My own readers know me pretty well by now and know if they want a product I come out with. But my affiliates audiences don't know me. Creating an awesome free offer that is easy for your affiliates to share, helps you gain a new audience to sell to AND your affiliates can sell more easily.  Easy to push really hard and then do the actual selling over email It's so easy to push a free offer insanely!! You can share it on your blog, Facebook live, all over Instagram, in your emails, guest posts, etc. No one gets tired of hearing about a great free product!  So you can push this really hard without feeling like you are selling! And then you can nurture them through an email sequence where you sell hard.  Examples of our freebies: Finding Joy in Your Home Free eCourse This is by far our most popular free offer. It's a mini-eCourse called Finding Joy in Your Home. This has become my main free offer for my blog and eventually leads to a sell of our academy, My Homemaking Mentor.  This works well because MHM is our most expensive item. So giving them a full course as a FREEBIE works well. Plus, the academy is video based. So giving them a free PDF wouldn't be nearly as effective as a free video series so they can get used to me on video and how I teach.   14 Days of Praying for Your Husband & Marriage This is a freebie that we launched at the beginning of this year. It's a card set that is designed to be used over 14 days. It has a scripture and a prayer topic on each card. These were super popular!  They lead to a marriage bundle of resources and are the perfect lead in to more printable products!  5 Keys to Planning a Successful Day The meat of this freebie was an in depth PDF that I put together that was essentially a mini training manual. I wanted to include a video component however, so I took that training and turned it into a video. So the reader has the choice of reading it or listening to it. It also includes a few bonus printables. This was our free opt-in for the 2016 homemaking conference. Here are some other freebie ideas If you are a photographer: Create a checklist of essential newborn shots to get If you want to launch a natural home course: Create 5 homemade recipe cards and a bonus video If you want to sell an essential oils eBook: Create an essential oils cheatsheet that they can hang on their fridge The free opt-in doesn't have to be big, long, or complicated! Just make sure that it is related (the same subject and the same teaching medium (i.e. video, audio, book, printable, etc). as the product you want to sell.  How to deliver your freebie: If your product is a simple file (one PDF, an eBook, etc.)  ConvertKit - Email Service Provider Our email service provider is ConvertKit and they make it SUPER easy to deliver a simple file. We use this to deliver all our single file freebies like a printable pack or PDF.  ConvertKit is the #1 email service provider that we use and recommend (after trying out several others). You can try them out here. Amazon s3 Hosting If your email service provider doesn't offer an easy way to deliver simple products, then I highly recommend Amazon s3. You can easily upload files and then grab a link to share.  And the beautiful thing: You ONLY pay for how many times people download the file. So you can have 100 products store in there, but you only pay every time someone actually downloads that file. And it's a few cents per download so it's not bad! We have dozens of products hosted in there and we pay a few dollars a month (but this isn't our MAIN storage mind you).  Leadpages If you use Leadpages for your landing pages, they also offer simple lead magnet deliver. I used Leadpages for about 2 years and like them for what they do: very simple landing pages.  But we have since moved all of our landing pages to ClickFunnels and have been very happy. We've been with ClickFunnels for over a year now. If you want to try it out, you can get a 14 day free trial. DO NOT JUST UPLOAD TO YOUR BLOG PLEASE do not just upload simple files to your blog. It's very easy to do but it's NOT what you want to do. For 1) Every single time someone downloads that file from the link on your blog, it takes bandwidth. This can significantly slow down your blog or even crash it! Plus, if you use too much it will cost hundreds of dollars a month to up that bandwidth amount. And 2) Those links are all public and searchable. So someone could just search in google and find that link without having to sign up.  Even though it takes a bit more work, please find another way to deliver your simple files.  Delivering Courses & Training:  This is where things get a little more complicated. If you want to deliver a freebie that isn't just a simple file to download, you need something more advanced.  What we use: Kajabi We have been using Kajabi for about a year and a half now and it's the VERY best solution we have ever been able to find. I am in love with Kajabi!  Kajabi is a system that allows you to create a website to deliver all your free and paid content. We really needed a place where our customers could log in and access everything they've ever purchased from us - all in one spot!  Kajabi gives us that plus everything we need. It IS expensive, but if you want to develop a library of resources like we have, then I highly recommend it. You can check it out here.  Our Work at Home Life is built here on Kajabi and you can see how we use it with our other business, Homemaking Ministr Teachable  Teachable is another popular option. It does not have all the bells and whistles that Kajabi does so it doesn't work for us and I do not like it as much as Kajabi.  However, it has a lower barrier to entry because you can start off cheaper. They have a limited FREE plan where you pay per sale you make and a basic plan that starts at $39 a month.  For the long run, I prefer Kajabi. But if you don't have the funds and want to just try something out, you can always start with Teachable and then change over later. It's not that big of deal!  Thinkific Thinkific is another popular one but I don't know very much about it beyond that I know some people use it. But they also offer a limited FREE plan. So if you are tight on funds, this is another one to try out!  Plugins for Wordpress If you run a Wordpress website, there are some plugins you can purchase that can allow you to turn your website into a membership site so people can log in to view the courses or videos.  I will warn you though: We've tried many of these in the past trying to come up with a good solution and it IS a lot of work! If I were starting over today, I would head straight to New Kajabi, Teachable, or Thinkific. I think there is very little reason to host it on your own website.  BUT if you want to explore that option, here are a few we've tried in the past: Course Cats Wishlist Member Zippy Courses My personal favorite: Optimize Press So what's next? Now that you've got your free opt-in and you are sharing it with your readers, what now? Set up an email sequence Now you want to set up an email sequence. You start out with a "welcome" email. Then over the course of a week or two (or three) you deliver great content and casually mention that you've got a new product coming. The entire time your goal is to provide more valuable content for your readers.  Then when your product goes on sale: Email them like crazy! Again, make sure your focus is on helping your audience and providing more value. But nows your time to make a strong case for your new product.  If you have a standard 7-8 day sales week, then I suggest emailing them 2-3 times during that week. And then 2-3 times on that final day! Trust me: I know that seems like a lot of emails but it works!  In the next episode we are going to share all about launch week of your product! Now that your product is created and you've got an email list ready from your free optin, what do you do during launch week? Episode #5 will cover all that and more! NOTE: We do all of our email sequences in ConvertKit, it's one of the main reasons we switch to it from ConvertKit (as well as the ability to do advanced tagging. Here's a preview of setting up an email sequence in ConvertKit, they make it so easy! Download our FREE Product Launch Checklist!  I know this is a TON of information! So I distilled it all down into a handy printable product launch checklist for you.

 Stories coverd today include:People Who Seek Mental Health Help Choose Therapy Over MedicationPeople who seek professional help for mental health conditions like depression or panic disorder are more likely to accept and follow through when talk therapy is prescribed, rather than medication, according to a new meta-analysis of previous research.The report, published by the American Psychological Association, found that patients were as much as three times more likely to refuse or not complete their recommended mental health treatment if it took the form of psychotropic medicine, such as antidepressants, instead of psychotherapy.======================You Could be Having a Digital Mental Health Crisis Without Realizing ItWe’re glued to our technology and a study commissioned by Nokia illustrates the depth of our obsession. According to their research, the average person checks their phone every six minutes (150 times a day). We’re doing more than simply checking in; a Pew Research Study shows that younger Americans send a whopping 110 texts per day. Considering we’re awake an average of 16 hours a day, that’s a lot of tech time before we even think about what we do on our computers, tablets and TVs.=====================Featured Guest:  Loral Langemeier  "A Day Without a Woman" unfolded across the USA on Wednesday with strikes and rallies as organizers called on women to skip work and not spend money to demonstrate their economic strength and political clout. Women in more than 50 countries hosted similar events to coincide with the U.N.-designated International Women's Day, according to the event's Facebook page. Rallies were planned across the country.Here to discuss the significance and meaning of "A Day Without a Woman" is New York Times Bestselling Author and CEO of Live Out Loud, Inc., Loral Langemeier

Thinking, Decisions, Purpose, Career, Business   Summary   How often does it happen that seemingly small decisions bring with them enormously positive gifts, or very negative consequences? We'll discuss that in our Thought of the Day. And later, in today's interview, super entrepreneur Steve Olsher asks: not what is your why … but what is your … what? That and more on today's show.   Bob's Thought of the Day Actions without thought can potentially lead to disastrous consequences. And, even if not disastrous, consistently thoughtless actions can lead to consequences that are certainly counterproductive regarding success financially, physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and in other ways. For instance, consider the non-thinking decision to say something hurtful to your spouse or children that, once said, you can't take back. How will it affect them or your relationship with them? What about the non-thinking (or perhaps even thinking) decision to say something less-than-truthful to a prospective customer in the sales process? What about the decision you make to call on just one more prospective customer after a day of 27 “no's”?  What about the person outside the supermarket who looks hungry and dirty, as though they haven't eaten? You COULD just walk past them like everyone else does, but what if you give them a few dollars and wish them success?  What decisions have you made; what decisions are you making; and what decisions will you make … maybe seemingly small ones, that will have a long-lasting effect on your life and that of others? The truth is, we don't necessarily know at the time we make these decisions. But, we can think as we're about to. We can consciously and thoughtfully determine what the results might or might not be, both negative and positive, and make our decisions based on a new level of consciousness.   Interview with Steve Olsher So often we talk about finding your why. But it's even more important to find your what. Your why is outside your personal wiring; it's something that you choose. But your what is something that has chosen you. Your what reflects how you're naturally wired to excel. Very few people of greatness have not been through great trials. There comes a point where they decide to overcome the challenges that life has given them. If they can do it, you can do it also. In his book What is Your WHAT?, Steve talks about the Seven Life-Altering Principles. It's based on a premise that your power to influence yourself will always be enormously greater than your power to influence others. Principle #1 is the YaNO: facing the moment of truth where a decision you make can lead you toward your goals, or can take you in a direction that leads you away from your goals. It's hard to take personal responsibility for the choices you make. The you of tomorrow should always look back and give thanks to the you or today. You can't live in the past, and you can't stay in the present because it goes by so quickly. You can only really live for tomorrow and lay out a game plan for where you want to go, and be conscious of the choices that will get you there. Steve discusses the principle of Unconscious Competence, the state of knowing that is now a part of you. Very few people ever achieve this level because most of us give up before we can reach that level of competence.   Interview Links   SteveOlsher.com WhatIsYourWhat.com Get your free online copy of What is Your WHAT?

Greece closed its banks and imposed restrictions on cash withdrawals to try to prevent a deepening financial crisis. For years—in the USA—the government via the Federal Reserve System has been printing paper money to reduce the value of the USA Dollar. This allows them to pay back debts with cheaper money; that is, the money is worth less—as in “worthless”—due to inflation. It's just like anything else: more supply equals less value. The USA can NOT repay its debt, which is about 17 trillion dollars (that's trillion, with a “T”). Excessive indebtedness always contributes to the downfall of leading nations and world powers. A cursory examination of world history over the last 5,000 years will prove the point: from Mesopotamia to Rome to the British Empire: economic malaise—producing full blown disease—accompanies loss of power. The next economic collapse is coming (more about that in future blogs). My assignment from the LORD is to prepare you. I warned people what to do as a result of the last BIG one (see my podcast of November 28, 2008). I may give you some investment suggestiions from time-to-time, but I am NOT a financial adviser … so you will need to pray and listen to God. ______________________________________________BLOG-O-NOMICSROOTS OF ECONOMIC COLLAPSETECHNICAL & SPIRITUAL FACTORS Globalization has “bound” the economy of other nations to the economy of the USA. This is at the same time concomitant with religion and government. All three (3) are a mix of not‪‒so‒strange bedfellows. Please refer to the End Time underpinnings of the following: New Global Governance New Global Currency New Global Religion In the last podcast teaching we discussed several empirical laws concerning magnitude and frequency of geological shocks. Early warning system (EWS) models can be used to analyze, also, certain economic sectors of a society separately. Omori-law-like distributions (that are used for earthquake aftershocks) suggest that losses will be widespread around crises or recessions. Also, the “crises initiating” sector spreads instability to the other sectors of the economy. Bath's Law Gutenberg-Richter Law Omori's Law There is a spiritual parallel to the natural. (This is because the Creator placed His 'print' on Creation.) People (around the world ... not just in USA) are becoming discouraged and increasingly angry at government AND government leaders. People are beginning to feel frustrated and "out of control" -- because they have lost control to a government that does NOT listen to them ... or represent them. This is WHY socialistic governments try to “buy” votes from the economically depressed with entitlements rather than fixing the systemic failures. This has been the case with the USA since 2008. With global economic breakdown ... the need for a New Global Currency system takes place. There is NO room in this Global Governance system for the following: Individuality Sovereignty Independence Does this strike a chord with YOU? Could this be WHY people in different countries feel out of control? The world in which we live may be divided into three sectors: The moral or spiritual; The social or political; and, The monetary or economic. There are three (3) areas from which the thrust for a New Global Currency originates: Those who feel jeopardized by the demise of the US dollar: The moral or spiritual sector. Those who want to see the downfall (economically, militarily, and religiously) of the USA: The social or political sector. Those who want to capture mass market of the US and consumers: The monetary or economic sector. Global equaliztion will be the catalyst for New Global Banking. Economic policies are key weapons of warfare in geopolitical competition. You, the individual, are the “puppet” with strings attached … unless … you know God and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. It is NOT unpatriotic to warn people with the blast of the shofar. Neither was it for Jeremiah to warn Israel and the king about impending judgment. Those who have NOT grown up in the USA are possibly NOT able to listen to God from a perspective of “from whence the USA has fallen.” Even though God has blessed the USA and made her a blessing to the nations … as well as to Israel in the past … He has NO obligation to bless her leaders, her sins, nor her sinners: abortion, same-sex marriage, et al. God's only obligation is to bless His children who obey and listen to the voice of His Holy Spirit. Remember, also, a principle of God's dealing with nations is many times this: “Judgment begins at the house of God.” (1 Peter 4:17.) Prepare ahead of time ... NOW ... for this great coming need. As mentioned previously, in the future you will look around and see depression and hopelessness in the lives and faces of people. Once these evil spirits control the mind, they will augment their insidious attack to the spiritual and physical areas of the person afflicted. You may want my book Healing Deliverance in advance so that you will be able to effectively help people. Here are some other resources to help YOU and to help you help OTHERS: Frustration and Your Future – The Way Out Dealing with Stress in the End Times Pray and ask the LORD to use you as an instrument of compassion and deliverance in this area of need. And, make sure you are living for the LORD so He can protect and bless you. For instruction and help in the areas of prosperity, deliverance and holy living go to: How To Prosper How To Be Delivered The Power of a Separated Life I told you in the last podcast that mortgage rates are pushing new highs for 2015, and as of this week are even higher There are NO short term reasons. The stiuation is going to be long term. Listen to the last podcast for the reasons why. The dollar collapse has already started. It started in 2000 with the Euro, and later in 2010 with currency war. And, it is being augmented now with China as a major creditor and gold hoarder. Foolishly—while at the same time knowingly—the USA has whimsically danced to the tune of several rivals by amassing enormous trade deficits, budget deficits and international debt. In recent teachings I have warned you that just because the Dow is at an all time high, it means nothing when inflation is factored in. Just today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 350 points while ATM's in Greece were been boarded up. The world's NEW “mega money” referred to as SDR (Special Drawing Rights) will help over time dilute the solvency of the US Dollar. The time to invest wisely is NOW. Inflation and deflation are BOTH possibilities, of course at different times. To prepare for the furthering economic collapse, here are three moves you should begin to pray about and/or do NOW: 1. Give to God's work regularly and systematically. 2. Pray in the Spirt—in tongues—and IF you feel that inflation is going to take over (before hyper-inflation, or it will be too late), invest in commodities like gold and oil, and stocks in companies with hard assets in transportation, energy, natural resources and agriculture (NON-GMO foods). Also, you might want to invest in West Shore Real Return Income Fund (Symbol = NWSFX). It has assets that include units of physical gold, fine art and other tangible assets intended to preserve wealth in inflationary markets. It currently trades at about 9.88 USD (year low = 9.78 / year high = 10.56). Here's where you can learn How to pray in the Spirit: How to Receive the Power of God with Gifts of the Spirit. 3. Start NOW withdrawing small amounts of cash from your bank(s). Then, go rent a storage place and hide it under filthy junk in a fireproof box. Or, wherever you think is safe. (Listen to my previous podcast for more details on this.) If and when deflation occurs later you will be able to obtain some really good purchases with cash when other people are hurting. Also, you will be able to help others. The main reason you will want to have “cash on hand” is because if the banks shut down for a few days due to economic trauma, you wll NOT be able to withdraw any cash. You need to be able to function! NOTICE: Do NOT be concerned if you do NOT have money to invest in commodities or securities that are “geared” for inflation-proofing. Your main concern is to “hedge” against whatever may come: inflation, stag-inflation, hyper-inflation … or deflation. And, the BEST WAY you can do this is to invest in God's Kingdom. Spend some time alone—listening to God—and develop a PLAN of giving. The US Dollar was victim of 50% inflation during the years of 1977 to 1981. Right before that time God spoke to me about a PLAN for reaping a great harvest personally. I never shared the specifics with anyone. I just listened and obeyed. Read the example below. EXAMPLE: In 1976 God gave me a PLAN of investing into His work—a SPECIAL six month strategy—with a certain percentage I was to give Him (way more than I had ever given). At the end of the six months, I was instructed to leave my residence (with my family) and travel a long distance away. While there, I was alone fasting in an animal shed and $100,000 USD was placed under the door to me. CURRENT PROJECTS: Right now we are providing FREE Prince Handley POWER books to colleges, synagogues, churches and libraries in different countries where the leaders are engaged in strategic End Time pro-Israel and Zionist prophetic ministry. Some of these are in high conflict areas. Also, in addition to our ongoing Project Judah service to KEY influential people in Israel we are starting July 1st a NEW and POWERFUL creative outreach from inside Israel. Please PRAY for us … and if the LORD leads you to help in our global exploits, there is a link below to do this. Now is the time to establish a simple but strategically secure plan to prosper in the coming economic downturn. Do NOT wait until the “S-H-T-F” happens. Most of all, make sure you know the specifics of current geopolitical “hotbeds” and HOW to respond and to war intelligently. The following books will help you:  How to War! BABYLON THE BITCH: ENEMY OF ISRAEL ENHANCED HUMANS MYSTERY MATRIX PROPHECY, TRANSITION & MIRACLES OPPORTUNITY One great way to prosper is to work with God by helping reach people with the Good News!Your donations to Handley WORLD SERVICES Incorporated help us reach nations.All of our projects of outreach are FREE and are financed by our donors.Use the SECURE DONATE button below to help us do God's work. A TAX DEDUCTIBLE RECEIPT WILL BE SENT TO YOU My friend, more important than the economy—even more important than your health—is this: If you were to die right now, do you know for sure that you would go to Heaven? If not, pray this prayer: “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, if Yeshua (Jesus) is really my Messiah, please reveal Him to me and I will serve You the rest of my life. Please forgive my sins. Help me to live for you the rest of my time on earth, and take me to Heaven when I die. Amen.” Your friend,Prince HandleyPresident / RegentUniversity of Excellence Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai.

Jacob Reed is on! You know Jacob from improv powerhouse Bangarang, sketch duo Tremendosaur, movie teams Rought Cut and Whilem. You COULD say Jacob Reed is a UCB Based Triple Threat. Wink Samanth Pitchel. Jacob and I talk about parameters for success in a harold, being noticed in improv shows, finding your voice, and of course, pornography he was in. That's a little hyperbolic but that's what moves improv podcasts, baby! Golden age of improv, be excellent to each other, and most of all, happy improvising.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this lesson, we are going to look at how to say “no matter how …” in Korean.To say this, you need to know two key parts: one is the word 아무리 [a-mu-ri], and the other is the suffix -아/어/여도 [-a/eo/yeo-do] (introduced in Level 3 Lesson 20).Construction:아무리 + Verb Stem + -아/어/여도= No matter how + verb/adverb/adjective …아무리 [a-mu-ri] has a definition, but it’s rarely used on its own to define or mean anything. This word is usually used with -아/어/여도 or other endings that mean "even if" or "however". You COULD say the same thing without 아무리, but 아무리 makes the meaning of the entire sentence much stronger and clearer.Examples아무리 바빠도 [a-mu-ri ba-ppa-do] = no matter how busy you are아무리 어려워도 [a-mu-ri eo-ryeo-wo-do] = no matter how difficult it is아무리 심심해도 [a-mu-ri sim-sim-hae-do] = no matter how bored you are* You can tell the tense and the voice, as well as the subject of the entire sentence from the context.Using 아무리 with nounsSometimes you can use 아무리 with nouns, but in order to make them 'verbs', you need to add the -이다 verb. For example, if you want to say 부자 [bu-ja], "a rich person", you need to change it to 부자이다 and the -이다 part changes to either -아/어/여도 or -(이)라도.Ex)No matter how rich you are= Even if you are a rich person= 아무리 부자여도 [a-mu-ri bu-ja-yeo-do]= 아무리 부자라도 [a-mu-ri bu-ja-ra-do]More examples아무리 미인이라도 = 아무리 미인이여도 = no matter how much of a beauty she is아무리 바보라도 = 아무리 바보여도 = no matter how big of a fool you areUsing 아무리 with other endingsYou can express similar meaning with other endings. 아무리 -아/어/여도 can be replaced with 아무리 -어/어/여 봤자 (Level 7 Lesson 7), 아무리 -고 싶어도, 아무리 -려고 해도, 아무리 -(으/느)ㄴ다고 해도,etc.,  to express similar meanings. However, the sentences will all have subtle differences based on the core meaning of the 2nd part.Ex)아무리 공부해도 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-hae-do] (most neutral) = no matter how much you study아무리 공부해 봤자 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-hae bwat-ja] (least hopeful) = no matter how much you study아무리 공부하고 싶어도 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-ha-go si-peo-do] = no matter how much you want to study아무리 공부하려고 해도 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-ha-ryeo-go hae-do] = no matter how much you are going to try to study아무리 공부한다고 해도 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-han-da-go hae-do] (less hopeful) = no matter how much you study아무리 + Verb Stem + -아/어/여도 그렇지...In addition to the basic structure of -아/어/여도, there is also a commonly used structure, -아/어/여도 그렇지, that is used with 아무리. When you add "그렇지",  the sentence can be used on its own, without the next part following. Here, 그렇지 means "but still...".Ex)아무리 어려워도 = no matter how difficult it is,아무리 어려워도 그렇지. = I know it's difficult, but still... / No matter how difficult it is, still....Sample Sentences1. 아무리 늦어도 2시까지는 오세요.[a-mu-ri neu-jeo-do du-si-kka-ji-neun o-se-yo.]= No matter how late you are, be there by 2.= Come by 2 at the latest.2. 아무리 싫어도, 안 싫은 척 해 주세요.[a-mu-ri si-reo-do, an si-reun cheok hae ju-se-yo.]= No matter how much you hate him, please pretend you don't hate him.3. 아무리 맛있어도 이제 그만 먹어요.[a-mu-ri ma-si-sseo-do i-je geu-man meo-geo-yo.]= No matter how delicious it is, stop eating now.4. 아무리 비싸도 제가 사 줄게요.[a-mu-ri bi-ssa-do je-ga sa jul-ge-yo.]= No matter how expensive it is, I'll buy it for you.5. 아무리 학생이라도 공부만 하는 건 아니에요.[a-mu-ri hak-saeng-i-ra-do gong-bu-man ha-neun geon a-ni-e-yo.]= Even if you are a student, you don't always study.= Even students don't always study.

In this lesson, we are going to look at how to say “no matter how …” in Korean.To say this, you need to know two key parts: one is the word 아무리 [a-mu-ri], and the other is the suffix -아/어/여도 [-a/eo/yeo-do] (introduced in Level 3 Lesson 20).Construction:아무리 + Verb Stem + -아/어/여도= No matter how + verb/adverb/adjective …아무리 [a-mu-ri] has a definition, but it’s rarely used on its own to define or mean anything. This word is usually used with -아/어/여도 or other endings that mean "even if" or "however". You COULD say the same thing without 아무리, but 아무리 makes the meaning of the entire sentence much stronger and clearer.Examples아무리 바빠도 [a-mu-ri ba-ppa-do] = no matter how busy you are아무리 어려워도 [a-mu-ri eo-ryeo-wo-do] = no matter how difficult it is아무리 심심해도 [a-mu-ri sim-sim-hae-do] = no matter how bored you are* You can tell the tense and the voice, as well as the subject of the entire sentence from the context.Using 아무리 with nounsSometimes you can use 아무리 with nouns, but in order to make them 'verbs', you need to add the -이다 verb. For example, if you want to say 부자 [bu-ja], "a rich person", you need to change it to 부자이다 and the -이다 part changes to either -아/어/여도 or -(이)라도.Ex)No matter how rich you are= Even if you are a rich person= 아무리 부자여도 [a-mu-ri bu-ja-yeo-do]= 아무리 부자라도 [a-mu-ri bu-ja-ra-do]More examples아무리 미인이라도 = 아무리 미인이여도 = no matter how much of a beauty she is아무리 바보라도 = 아무리 바보여도 = no matter how big of a fool you areUsing 아무리 with other endingsYou can express similar meaning with other endings. 아무리 -아/어/여도 can be replaced with 아무리 -어/어/여 봤자 (Level 7 Lesson 7), 아무리 -고 싶어도, 아무리 -려고 해도, 아무리 -(으/느)ㄴ다고 해도,etc.,  to express similar meanings. However, the sentences will all have subtle differences based on the core meaning of the 2nd part.Ex)아무리 공부해도 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-hae-do] (most neutral) = no matter how much you study아무리 공부해 봤자 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-hae bwat-ja] (least hopeful) = no matter how much you study아무리 공부하고 싶어도 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-ha-go si-peo-do] = no matter how much you want to study아무리 공부하려고 해도 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-ha-ryeo-go hae-do] = no matter how much you are going to try to study아무리 공부한다고 해도 [a-mu-ri gong-bu-han-da-go hae-do] (less hopeful) = no matter how much you study아무리 + Verb Stem + -아/어/여도 그렇지...In addition to the basic structure of -아/어/여도, there is also a commonly used structure, -아/어/여도 그렇지, that is used with 아무리. When you add "그렇지",  the sentence can be used on its own, without the next part following. Here, 그렇지 means "but still...".Ex)아무리 어려워도 = no matter how difficult it is,아무리 어려워도 그렇지. = I know it's difficult, but still... / No matter how difficult it is, still....Sample Sentences1. 아무리 늦어도 2시까지는 오세요.[a-mu-ri neu-jeo-do du-si-kka-ji-neun o-se-yo.]= No matter how late you are, be there by 2.= Come by 2 at the latest.2. 아무리 싫어도, 안 싫은 척 해 주세요.[a-mu-ri si-reo-do, an si-reun cheok hae ju-se-yo.]= No matter how much you hate him, please pretend you don't hate him.3. 아무리 맛있어도 이제 그만 먹어요.[a-mu-ri ma-si-sseo-do i-je geu-man meo-geo-yo.]= No matter how delicious it is, stop eating now.4. 아무리 비싸도 제가 사 줄게요.[a-mu-ri bi-ssa-do je-ga sa jul-ge-yo.]= No matter how expensive it is, I'll buy it for you.5. 아무리 학생이라도 공부만 하는 건 아니에요.[a-mu-ri hak-saeng-i-ra-do gong-bu-man ha-neun geon a-ni-e-yo.]= Even if you are a student, you don't always study.= Even students don't always study.

Wedding bells are ringing for 84-year old Hugh Hefner and his 24-year-old former Playboy bunny Crystal Harris. A SIXTY year age difference? Is this just the stereotype of the wealthy ancient old man buying the favors of a golddigger? We'll discuss with various guests, and wwant to hear from YOU: Could there truly be love and affection involved? What about sex? Do you know of the reverse happening, an ancient matron marrying a young boytoy?

"New Lives For Old""When it was the right time, John the Baptizer began tellingpeople a message from God" - so says our Scripture lesson today.John the Baptist (as we call him) is obviously known for baptizing people.Actually, he should be remembered for his message - he should be "Johnthe Preacher" not "John the Baptizer" because it was his direct,confrontational preaching that made people remember him. It was hispreaching mouth that got him in trouble, not his baptizing hands. Hismessage? Repent! He told Herod, the ruler of Galilee to repent fortaking his brother's wife, Herodias, as his own. Herodius plotted with herdancing daughter to have John's head - literally - killed as if he were anannoying gnat flying about in the royal box.But Jesus said, "The truth is that John the Baptizer" is greaterthan anyone who has ever come into this world."...(John 11:11)"Before John came, the law of Moses and all the prophets toldabout the things that would happen. And if you believe what theysaid, then John is Elijah. He is the one they said would come. Youpeople who hear me, listen!" (John 11:14)It was the right time for his message of repentance. Before wecan get new lives, we have to dump a lot of junk out of the old life. That'sa two step process - being sorry for what you have done and asking Godto forgive you for all of it.There's a time of repentance built into every communion service,where when we confess our sin, "God is faithful and just to forgive usof our sin and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness."No wonder John's message was also a welcome one - many peoplewanted to hear it, and to hear it that had to expend a good deal of effort.John planted himself in the middle of nowhere. He set up shop in thewilderness and anyone who wanted to hear what he had to say had to goto a lot of trouble to get there - borrowing the neighbor's donkey perhapsor setting off on foot with enough water for the journey, and going downlonely trails infested with bandits.To hear John preach you had to trek way off into the blazing hotdesert, traverse relentless hills of thick sand and make you way down tothe Jordan River, far away from any city.He was particularly hard on people in organized religion, thePharisees and Sadducees. They didn't go there to hear him except tohear enough so they could find a way to do him in - after all, if he becametoo popular their temples would be empty of people - worse yet theiroffering plates would be empty."You bunch of snakes!" John said, "slithering down here tothe river. Do you think that a little water on your snake skins isgoing to make any difference. It's your life that got to change, notyour skin! If your life is changed, people will be able to tell. You'llbear fruit. And don't think you can pull rank because you are adescendant of Abraham. Descendants of Abraham are a dime adozen. God can take these rocks and make them into descendantsof Abraham. What matters is your life. Is your life green? Is itbearing fruit? Because if it is dead wood then it goes into the fire.Repent! The Kingdom of Heaven is near!"My advise to you is, "Live your life understanding that onlywhat's done for Christ will last."What are these things? Acts of kindness, Works of charity, Visitingthe sick, comforting they who mourn, being more concerned about thewelfare of your wife or husband or significant other than your own.Carrying about with you a spirit of good will and acceptance. Not beingjudgemental, Not complaining.At our last minister's meeting, one of the ministers came with aband on his wrist. Each time you complain about something, you have tomove the band to the other wrist. The goal is to see how long you can gowithout having to do that. How about YOU? Could you last only anhour - a day - a week? The program's goal is to go 21 days. Are all ofyour branches green - or just a few of them. (A Complaint Free Worldby Will Bowen.)I have a senna polifida tree that isn't doing well at all. I have fiveof them in a row. They have exuberant, plentiful yellow blossoms. A fewweeks ago, they all began to bloom - well not all - the one at the endlooked sick - and I thought it was dying. I checked it for any pests thatmight be destroying it, but nothing was to be seen. I hate to tell you this,but I am one of those persons who believe that one species can talk toanother - should talk to each other. I spoke to the tree. I moved itsbranches. I showered it with a little more water than the others. Now, itis in bloom! - not riotously like the others, but a nice grouping of blossomson the branches that were not dead after all. Those that are - thedeadwood, I assume I will have to trim off.This is then the place in the sermon where you need to decidewhat deadwood you need to get rid of - repent of. Anything that keepsyou from your goal of Christlikeness has to go. Repent! "He will burnthe useless part with a fire that cannot be stopped."God is speaking to us today - moving OUR branches, nourishingus with His love - the God who can make our branches bloom with goodworks. "He will separate the good grain from the straw, and he illput the good part into his barn."All you have to do is make a conscious decision to give priority tothose things that will grow your spirit.The Network of Spiritual Progressive is committed to fostering anew consciousness so that we allow ourselves to know that the mostsignificant and rewarding part of our lives comes through:*Acts of love and generosity*Kindness to humans and animals*Caring for and giving to other without expectation of reward ora "return on the investment of our time and energy.*Work that is fulfilling both in its process and in the sense it givesus that we are contribution to the public good.*Awe at the grandeur of creation*The experience of being recognized on the deepest level of ourbeing and recognizing others in that way.*Acknowledging our connection to something larger than ourselvesand seeing our lives in the context of service to the ultimate triumph oflove, goodness, justice and peace.That's fine for us, but how are we doing as a nation, as a world?Is it time for a call to repentance there? Is the world getting better orworse? I always say that progress is backwards. Waiting the other dayfor replies to several e-mails and needing one in particular, I had anamazingly brilliant thought - Why not use the telephone?! That way Iwould get an immediate answer, and it wouldn't be just words on a pagebut hearing the vibrant, wonderful voice of the friend I was calling, and Iwould be able to get a feeling of how he was doing - not just by thewords, but by the tone of voice.And the internet - much as I love Google - I was appalled by thecruel trick played by one teenager on another - the one, a girl, pretendingto be a handsome young man, communicating with her neighbor a fewdoors down, getting her very attached to "him" then having him dump hersaying all kinds of cruel things to her. Only after she had hung herself, didher parents learn that there was no such young man, only a girl down thestreet playing tricks on an unsuspecting, sensitive soul. What is happeningin our world. Young people are getting more and more cruel to each otherand to the adults around them. The suicide incident was part ofa program depicting the growing cruelty and irresponsibility being manifestedin our young people including a college student who, driving drunk, killedone girl and made an invalid of another. She fled back to her native Peruwhere she continued to drink and drive and even wrote a song braggingabout her driving experiences. Where is John the Baptist when he's needed?Who will call us to repentance - we all have things of which we need torepent. Jesus will.Jesus calls us to repentance, not to make us feel bad aboutourselves, but to free us from the darkness and deadness that drags usdown. Then he setts us on a pathway of service and fulfillment - heads usfor home - the eternal home He has prepared for us from the foundationof the world.One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, tobehold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. For inthe time of trouble he shall hid me in his pavilion: in the secret ofhis tabernacle shell he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies roundabout me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;I will sing, yea I will sing praises unto the Lord.Change your hearts! And show by the way you live that you havechanged. A good indicator of that is your checkbook which will showamong other things how much you give to yourself and how much to God.I hope everybody got the pledge letter from our church Treasurer,Edwin Scharlau - how anybody could resist it I just can't figure. Sincethere are more of you here who haven't pledged than have, I assumemany of you didn't get it. He referred to all the special moments thechurch provides you - your wedding, your child's baptism, agranddaughters 1st birthday, delicious food, the incomparable karaokiesinging by church members, dancing the "chicken dance at the Octoberfest,- sitting in your pew with some of the same people around you week afterweek, being greeted at the church door as you walk in, the sermons forchildren, the sermons for serious Christians. He says, "I'm sure youhave your own moments you look forward to on Sunday mornings athe Miami Beach Community Church - from the spiritual to thesimple. " Then he suggests that we all bear the fruit of good stewardship,that the Church can go forward in strength and its message heard. Bearfruit. "Change your hearts and show by the way your live that youhave changed!" (Mt. 3:8)Today's message is "Repent!". May we pray. Each of us Lord,have things for which we repent, things we have done, things we havefailed to do, things for which others cannot forgive us, things for which wecannot forgive ourselves. Even the remembrance of them grieves usseverely. In these moments, as we repent earnestly of our sins, "Forgiveus all that is past and grant that we may evermore serve thee innewness of life to the honor and glory of Thy Holy name. Amen.Sermon Notes(Not edited nor proofed)The Rev. Dr. Garth R. Thompson Pastor, M.B.
