			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-951" title="cross-with-sunset" src="http://bloghop.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cross-with-sunset-300x224.jpg" alt="cross-with-sunset" width="300" height="224" /></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Life is tough enough as it is. It’s even tougher when we’re headed in the wrong direction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">One of the incredible abilities of Jesus was to stay on target. His life never got off track. Not once do we find him walking down the wrong side of the fairway. He had no money, no computers, no jets, no administrative assistants or staff; yet Jesus did what many of us fail to do. He kept his life on course.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">As Jesus looked across the horizon of his future, he could see many targets. Many flags were flapping in the wind, each of which he could have pursued. He could have been a political revolutionary. He could have been a national leader. He could have been content to be a teacher and educate minds or to be a physician and heal bodies. But in the end he chose to be a Savior and save souls.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Anyone near Christ for any length of time heard it from Jesus himself. “The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them” (Luke 19:10). “The Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people” (Mark 10:45).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The heart of Christ was relentlessly focused on one task. The day he left the carpentry shop of Nazareth he had one ultimate aim—the cross of Calvary. He was so focused that his final words were, “It is finished” (John 19:30).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">How could Jesus say he was finished? There were still the hungry to feed, the sick to heal, the untaught to instruct, and the unloved to love. How could he say he was finished? Simple. He had completed his designated task. His commission was fulfilled. The painter could set aside his brush, the sculptor lay down his chisel, the writer put away his pen. The job was done.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Wouldn’t you love to be able to say the same? Wouldn’t you love to look back on your life and know you had done what you were called to do?</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-762" title="relationship" src="http://bloghop.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/relationship-300x200.jpg" alt="relationship" width="300" height="200" />There are several factors that contributes for a man and woman&#8217;s relationship to get more stronger. Basically, those factors are simply one of the reasons why man and woman reaches the stage of married life. But of course, we cannot deny the very fact that there are times that relationships gets tougher may because its actually part of life&#8217;s realities.</p>
<p>In brain-imaging studies, women have more blood flow to the parts of their brains that produce and interpret language, and there are more interconnections between less well-defined connections between the verbal and emotional parts of the brain. Early childhood studies have shown that girls have a greater capacity for verbal communication than boys they are more skilled using words as a way of sharing their experience.</p>
<p>The big problem between husband and wives if that they don&#8217;t realize how the other functions. A woman expects that since she is able to freely talk about her emotions, her husband is equally able to do so. Meanwhile, a man tends to view his wife&#8217;s efforts to communicate as simply sharing information, not as sharing emotional experience. So if she says &#8216;I&#8217;m upset that our son hasn&#8217;t called to tell us he got to his friend&#8217;s house&#8217;; he might say &#8216;I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s all right,&#8217; focusing on the &#8216;Is he safe?&#8217; question. What she&#8217;s really saying is, &#8216;I&#8217;m anxious, I&#8217;m scared.&#8217; But he&#8217;s not focusing on her emotional experience. Okay! That&#8217;s it for now &#8217;cause I still have to check this <a href="http://www.azchampion.com/" target="_blank">manufactured homes</a> I&#8217;ve found earlier this day as I was searching on it for future reference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the difference between stationary and stationery?</p>
<p>Stationary means ‘fixed in one place and not moving’ while stationery means ‘the paper and envelopes used for writing correspondence’. You can use the a in stationary to remember it is the adjective. Stationery is a noun. Another mnemonic to help you is: let the ar near the end of stationary remind you of ‘at rest’ and the e near the end of stationery stand for ‘envelope’. Examples are: He likes to ride the stationary bicycle for exercise. / She bought stationery and ink pens for writing thank-you notes.</p>
<p>What is the difference between adverse and averse?</p>
<p>To be averse to something is to have feelings against it, to be disinclined or opposed towards it. Averse can take the preposition to as well as from and usually describes an attitude. To be adverse to something (the only preposition it takes) is to be turned in an opposite direction to that thing or acting against it. Adverse also means ‘opposing or detrimental to one’s interests’ and usually refers to things, not people. A good way to remember the difference is that the prefix of averse is ab, or away and the prefix of adverse is ad, meaning towards. Examples of each are: I am averse to watching a lot of television. / We are dealing with adverse circumstances.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The physical, spiritual, and mental dimensions are closely related to habits 1,2,and 3-centered on the principles of personal vision, leadership, and management-the social/emotional dimension focuses on habits 4,5, and 6-centered on the principles of interpersonal leadership, empathic communication, and creative cooperation. The social and the emotional dimensions of our lives are tied together because our emotional life is primarily, but not exclusively, developed out of and manifested in our relationships with others. Renewing our social/emotional dimension does not take time in the same sense that renewing the other dimensions does. We can do it in our normal everyday interactions with other people. But it definitely requires exercise. We may have to push ourselves because many of us have no achieved the level of Private Victory and the skills of Public Victory necessary for Habits 4,5, and 6 to come naturally to us in all our interactions. Suppose that you are a key person in my life. You might be my boss, my subordinate, my co-worker, my friend, my neighbor, my spouse, my child, a member of my extended family-anyone with whom I want or need to interact. Suppose we need to communicate together, to work together, to discuss a jugular issue, to accomplish a purpose or solve a problem. But we see things differently; we&#8217;re looking through different glasses. You see the young lady, and I see the old woman. So I practice habit 4. I come to you and I say, &#8220;I can see that we&#8217;re approaching this situation differently. Why don&#8217;t we agree to communicate until we can find a solution we both feel good about. Would you be willing to do that? &#8220;Most people would be willing to say &#8220;yes&#8221; to that. Then I move to habit 5. &#8220;Let me listen to you first.&#8221; Instead of listening with intent to reply, I listen empathic ally in order to deeply, thoroughly understand your paradigm. When I can explain your point of view as well as you can, then I focus on communicating my point of view to you so that you can understand it as well. Based on the commitment to search for a solution that we both fell good about and a deep understanding of each other&#8217;s point of view, we move to habit 6. We work together to produce third alternative solutions to our differences that we both recognize are better than the ones either you or I supposed Initially. Success in habits 4, 5, and 6 is not primarily a matter of intellect; it&#8217;s primarily a matter of emotion. It&#8217;s highly related to our sense of personal security.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One alternative to Win/Win is Win/Lose, the paradigm of the race to Bermuda. It says &#8220;If I Win, You Lose.&#8221; In leadership style, Win/Lose is the authoritarian approach: &#8220;I get my way; you don&#8217;t get yours.&#8221; Win/Lose people are prone to use position, power, credentials, possessions, or personality to get their way. Most people have been deeply scripted in the Win/Lose mentality since birth. First and most important of the powerful forces at work is the family. When one child is compared with another-when patience, understanding or love is given or withdrawn on the basis of such comparisons-people are into Win/Lose  thinking. Whenever love is given on a conditional basis, when someone has to earn love, what&#8217;s being communicated to them is that they are not intrinsically valuable or lovable. Value does not lie inside them, it lies outside. It&#8217;s in comparison with somebody else or against some expectation. And what happened to a young mind and heart, highly vulnerable, highly dependent upon the support and emotional affirmation of the parents, in the face of conditional love? The child is molded, shaped, and programmed in the Win/Lose mentality. &#8220;If I&#8217;m better than my brother, my parents will love me more.&#8221; Certainly there is a place for Win/Lose thinking in truly competitive and low-trust situations.</p>
