Did it really happen and why does that matter?
Format : Paperback, 6.7" x 5.6"
Did it really happen, and why does it matter? These two questions are at the heart of Sandra M. Schneiders' (IHM) talk on the resurrection, presented at the Marymount Institute as the inaugural event in the Mary Milligan Lecture in Spirituality series.
Published as an essay in book form by the Marymount Institute Press and Tsehai Publishers, The Resurrection poses a number of questions about the meaning of Easter as a religious holiday.
"What does it mean to say that Christ is risen? Does it mean that he is immortal, a spirit alive with God somewhere outside of earthly time and pace (which most Christians believe is true of all who die in faith), or did something unique, that has happened to no one else, happen to Jesus on the first Easter? And, if so, what was it, and why is this event unique significant for us?" asks Schneiders in her introduction to the book.
Sandra M. Schneiders has been a member of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary since 1956. She received an M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Detroit in 1967; an S.T.L. in Patristics from Institut Catholique, Paris in 1971; and an S.T.D. in scripture and spirituality from Gregorian University, Rome in 1975.
She is currently professor of New Testament and Spirituality at the Jesuit School of Theology and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. She has written numerous articles and several books, including: Selling All: Commitment, Consecrated Celibacy, and Community in Catholic Religious Life (2001); Finding the Treasure: Locating Catholic Religious Life in a New Ecclesial and Cultural Context (2000); With Oil in Their Lamps: Faith, Feminism, and the Future (2000); Written That You May Believe: Encountering Jesus in the Fourth Gospel (2003); and The Revelatory Text: Interpreting the New Testament as Sacred Scripture (1999).

Israel claimed Iran attacked it from Syria, then Israel launched huge counter-strike
'Iron Dome' missile (Israel Defense Forces)
The Golan Heights in Israel was attacked from Syria and Israel responded:
Israel Attacks Iranian Targets Inside Syria
Israel said Thursday its fighter jets struck dozens of Iranian military targets inside of Syria overnight in response to rockets attacks by Iranian forces on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
The Israeli military said its airstrikes focused on intelligence sites, weapons storage and logistics centers, and that the jets also destroyed several Syrian air defense systems.
It also warned it would "not allow the Iranian threat to establish itself in Syria" and said Syria's government will be held accountable for "everything happening in its territory."
Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman told a security conference Israel struck "almost all the Iranian infrastructure in Syria." He added, "I hope that we ended this chapter and that everyone understood."
Iran is a Syrian ally, and its military has been supporting President Bashar al-Assad. https://www.voanews.com/a/iranian-forces-in-syria-shell-golan-bases-israel-says/4387087.html
Israel Launches Most Extensive Strike in Syria in Decades After Iranian Rocket Barrage
Israel attacked dozens of Iranian targets in Syria in what the military said was the most extensive strike in the neighboring country in decades. The strike was carried out in response to a barrage of 20 rockets that were fired from Syria at Israeli military outposts.
The Israeli military accused the Revolutionary Guards' Al Quds force and its commander, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, of launching the attack at the Israeli Golan Heights. This is the first time Israel has directly accused Iran of firing toward Israeli territory. https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/syria/israel-launches-extensive-syria-strike-after-iranian-rocket-barrage-1.6073938
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military on Thursday said it attacked "dozens" of Iranian targets in neighboring Syria in response to an Iranian rocket barrage on Israeli positions in the Golan Heights. It was the most serious military confrontation between the two bitter enemies to date.
CBS News correspondent Seth Doane says the purported Iranian rocket attack on the Golan Heights was a potential game-changer. Israel says it was the first time Iran has ever directly targeted Israeli troops. Israel claims none of the 20 rockets made it into their territory; four were intercepted by the "Iron Dome" surface-to-air missile system the Jewish state has been strengthening to fend-off just such an attack.
Israel said the targets it hit inside Syria included weapons storage, logistics sites and intelligence centers used by elite Iranian forces. It also said it destroyed several Syrian air-defense systems after coming under heavy fire and that none of its warplanes was hit.
The blistering Israeli assault was by far the most intensive Israeli action in neighboring Syria since the civil war broke out there in 2011. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-says-iran-hit-in-syria-after-iranian-rockets-golan-heights-2018-5-10/
Speaking at the Herzliya Conference, an annual security gathering north of Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel would response fiercely to any further Iranian actions.
"We will not let Iran turn Syria into a forward base against Israel," he said. "We, of course, struck almost all the Iranian infrastructure in Syria, and they need to remember this arrogance of theirs. If we get rain, they'll get a flood. I hope that we ended this chapter and that everyone understood." https://www.apnews.com/7d1eee2cecd84022bda61b7face61bf7/Israel-hits-dozens-of-Iranian-targets-in-Syria-after-barrage
JERUSALEM (AP) — Iranian forces based in Syria fired 20 rockets at Israeli front-line military positions in the Golan Heights early Thursday, the Israeli military said, triggering an Israeli reprisal and further escalating heightened tensions between the two bitter enemies in neighboring Syria.
The Israeli military said its Iron Dome rocket defense system intercepted some of the incoming projectiles, while others caused only minimal damage. There were no Israeli casualties.
Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a military spokesman, said Iran's Al Quds force had fired the rockets at several Israeli bases, though he would not say how Israel had determined the Iranian involvement. The incoming attack set off air raid sirens in the Israeli-controlled Golan. http://time.com/5272038/israel-accuses-iran-of-rocket-attack-on-golan/
An Iranian official denied Thursday that the Islamic Republic was behind an overnight barrage of missiles on Israel, saying it does not have military forces in Syria, despite the fact that Israel blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guard for the attack.
"Iran does not have any connection to the missiles fired at Israel. If Iran did it we would have announced it immediately. When [ISIS] attacks Iranian targets in Syria we responded and made it known. Iran does not have any military presences in Syria and it was the Syrian army that fired missiles," the deputy head of Iran's national security council. …
A senior figure in Syria's opposition told Haaretz that Israel is protecting its security interests by attacking Iranian targets in Syria and that from the political point of view, the reduction of Iran's presence and influence in Syria will only accelerate a diplomatic, political proposal to end the war. …
This is the first time Israel directly accused Iran of firing towards Israeli territory. Tehran issued several threats over the past month, saying that it would hurt Israel in response to a slew of attacks that were ascribed to the Israeli air force. https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/diplomacy-cannot-help-iran-resistance-only-way-to-confront-enemies-1.6074513
So, Israel was hit by Iran from Syria REPORTEDLY FOR THE FIRST TIME, though Iran says it was not there. Israel further claims its Iron Dome prevented much damage, claims that it destroyed Iranian bases, says that Iran should not be arrogant, and claims that Israel can cause more damage if provoked by Iran.
According to Amir Toumaj with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Iran wants "to make Syria into a viable front … for both offensive and defense purposes, should another major war break out between Hezbollah and Israel" (Why Iran and Israel Are Attacking Each Other in Syria). Many believe Iran wants major conflict with Israel and has been preparing for it.
While Israel caused damage to Iranian installations in Syria, Israelis should consider that there is a prophecy that shows that God will remove protection from Judah and allow part of Jerusalem to suffer major damage from what appears to be an Iranian-Syrian coalition:
6 Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir uncovered the shield. 7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. (Isaiah 22:6-9)
Elam seems to be a reference to at least some in Iran. Kir seems to have Syrian connections. The Bible tells of a time when Kir will be destroyed (Isaiah 15:1b) and also says that Syria's capital Damascus will be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1).
Notice the part in bold italics. Israel is trusting its armaments to protect it. Realize that Israel's 'Iron Dome' will NOT sufficiently protect it once God removes the protection of Judah (which the Jewish state represents).
Several days ago, before this attack from within Syria and Israel's counter-attack, we put together the following related video:
Iran & Syria vs. Israel? Russia?
Could Iran and Syria combine to attack the state of Israel? The media has placed hopes on Russia to prevent such conflict. Some Protestant and Jewish sources point to Russia as an ally to Iran to invade Israel to fulfill Ezekiel 38. Can explanations based on Ezekiel 38 possibly come to pass before Jesus returns? How does it involve silver and gold? What does Ezekiel 38 really teach about its time period? Are there prophecies in Isaiah 22 that point to the possible destruction of part of Jerusalem by an alliance of Iran and Syria? What about Isaiah 17 and the destruction of Damascus? Could Jeremiah 49 be referring to destruction coming to Iran? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to that video: Iran & Syria vs. Israel? Russia?
We are seeing military conflict between Iran & Syria vs. Israel.
Iran in Prophecy Is Iran in Bible prophecy? If so, what does the Bible teach? What names, other than Persia, may be used to describe Iran? There is also a YouTube video titled Iran In Prophecy.
Syria and the start of World War 3 On April 14, 2018, Syrians were awoken by the sounds of about 120 missiles/bombs sent against areas of their country. The United States of America, United Kingdom, and France launched this attack related to claims of chemical weapons use earlier that week. Will Syria's capital one day be destroyed as prophesied in Isaiah chapter 17? If so, could this be before the start of the Great Tribulation? Are there prophecies about Syrians and the UK and USA? Is this attack against Syria leading to WWIII between the USA/UK/France and Russia/Syria/Iran? Is there an Arabic power that will rise up and be destroyed before the Great Tribulation as Tim McHyde has written related to Psalm 83? Is Ezekiel 38/39 about to be fulfilled? Who is the biblical King of the North and the biblical King of the South? Will the Beast power destroy the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies (like the UK, Canada, Australia, & New Zealand)? Could this be WWIII and the start of the Great Tribulation? What is the prophetic sequence of events according to Jesus and Daniel the prophet? Dr. Thiel addresses all of these matters and more. This is a video.
Damascus and Syria in Prophecy Will Bashar Assad hold power as he has it? Does the Bible show that Damascus, the capital of Syria, will be destroyed? What will happen to Syria? Will the Syrians support the final King of the South that the Bible tells will rise up? Which scriptures discuss the rise and fall of an Arabic confederation? Does Islamic prophecy predict the destruction of Syria.
Ezekiel 38: For Russia & Iran in Our Day? Is Ezekiel 38 about to be fulfilled? A related video is available titled Ezekiel 38: For Russia, Ukraine, & Iran Now? Another could be Russia, Iran, Syria, & the Bible (Code).
Is the Future King of the South Rising Up? Some no longer believe there needs to be a future King of the South. Might Egypt, Islam, Iran, Arabs, or Ethiopia be involved? Might this King be called the Mahdi or Caliph? What does the Bible say? A YouTube video of related interest may be: The Future King of the South is Rising.
The Muslim Brotherhood and the Rise of the King of the South The Bible tells of the formation of a power of nations that are in the Middle East and North Africa that are part of the final "King of the South" (Daniel 11:40-43) The Muslim Brotherhood wishes to have an Islamic empire with basically the same nations. This YouTube video explains what to expect from such a confederation.
Why Terrorism? Is Terrorism Prophesied? What does the Bible teach? Which nations may be affected? Here is a link to a related sermon: Terrorism, Christianity, and Islam.
The Arab and Islamic World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy The Bible discusses the origins of the Arab world and discusses the Middle East in prophecy. What is ahead for the Middle East and those who follow Islam? What about the Imam Mahdi? What lies ahead for Turkey, Iran, and the other non-Arabic Muslims? An item of possibly related interest in the Spanish language would be: Líderes iraníes condenan la hipocresía de Occidente y declaran que ahora es tiempo para prepararse para el Armagedón, la guerra, y el Imán Mahdi.
The Prophesied 'Islamic' Confederation Where is an Islamic caliphate prophesied? Will one happen? Should you be concerned about it? A related video is Will an Arabic Calphiphate Destroy the West?
The 'Peace Deal' of Daniel 9:27 This prophecy could give up to 3 1/2 years advance notice of the coming Great Tribulation. Will most ignore or misunderstand its fulfillment? Here is a link to a related sermon video Daniel 9:27 and the Start of the Great Tribulation.
How Will Middle East Peace be Brought About? Can humans bring peace to the Middle East? Here is a link to a related video: Middle East Peace? When?
When Will the Great Tribulation Begin? 2018, 2019, or 2020? Can the Great Tribulation begin today? What happens before the Great Tribulation in the "beginning of sorrows"? What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? Is this the time of the Gentiles? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord? Who are the 144,000? Here is a version of the article in the Spanish language: ¿Puede comenzar la Gran Tribulación en 2018 o 2019? ¿Es el Tiempo de los Gentiles? You can also see the English language sermon videos: The Great Tribulation from the Mount of Olives and Can the Great Tribulation begin before 2020? A shorter video is: Can the Great Tribulation begin in 2018?
The Times of the Gentiles Has there been more than one time of the Gentiles? Are we in it now or in the time of Anglo-America? What will the final time of the Gentiles be like? A related sermon is available and is titled: The Times of the Gentiles.
Armageddon Who is involved and when will this gathering happen? Here is also a video from Dr. Thiel, from Tel Megiddo in Israel: Armageddon. Another video is: watch Is China paving roads to Armageddon?
Is Russia the King of the North? Some claim it is. But what does the Bible teach? Here is a link to a video, also titled Is Russia the King of the North?
Russia and Ukraine: Their Origins and Prophesied Future Russia in prophecy. Where do the Russians come from? What about those in the Ukraine? What is prophesied for Russia and its allies? What will they do to the Europeans that supported the Beast in the end? There is also a video sermon available: Russia in the Bible and in Prophecy and a video sermonette available: Ukraine in Prophecy?
The Eurasian Union, the Kings of the East, and Bible Prophecy Is there a Eurasian union that will be formed? Is one being formed right now? Are any leaders working on that in the 21st century? Does the Bible teach that there will be a Eurasian union? If some type of Eurasian union is formed, who might it benefit and who will it destroy? A related video would be Is The Eurasian Union Rising?
Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves? Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided? What about Jerusalem? What does Bible prophecy teach? Are there non-biblical prophecies that support this idea? Who will divide those lands? Who will end up with the lands and the people? Here is a link to a video titled Will the USA and other Anglo-nations be Divided and Their People Made Slaves? Here is a related item in the Spanish language ¿Serán divididas las naciones anglosajonas?

О́ри, Го́ри () — дочки Зевса й Феміди; зображувалися вродливими дівчатами, що тримали в руках квітки або фрукти; богині пір року й суспільного ладу. За давнім епосом, вони — служниці Зевса, що відчиняють і зачиняють небесну браму. Кількість ор збільшувалася залежно від кількості пір, на які ділили рік стародавні греки. В Афінах від сивої давнини були в пошані три ори: Евномія (Законність), Діке (Справедливість), Ейрена (Мир). Пізніше фігурували чотири ори, включаючи Авксо. Культ ор був поширений у багатьох областях Греції. У Стародавньому Римі особливою шаною користувалась Ейрена, яку римляни називали Пакс.

48565...29443 (1401-digits)
This was the first known illegal prime. What people often forget is that a program (any file actually) is a string of bits (binary digits), so every program is a number. Some of these are prime. Phil Carmody found this one in March 2001. When written in base 16 (hexadecimal), this prime forms a gzip file of the original C-source code (sans tables) that decrypts the DVD Movie encryption scheme (DeCSS). See Gallery of CSS Descramblers (and its Steganography Wing) for more information. It was illegal to distribute this source code in the United States, so surely that made this number (found by Phil Carmody) also illegal.
A Perl program for extracting the source code from this prime number was written by Jamie McCarthy. [Caldwell]


Wow, you got some sun this weekend.
Even though with all this rain it may not seem like it, but Summer is here. And so are all the posts and blogs on remembering to wear your sunscreen. Once in a while, I will come in to work and a patient will notice my glowing tan. :) And they will make a comment like, "Wow, you got some sun this weekend." or I have even heard "Doctor you got a lot of Sun, that's not too healthy." The latter one I remember following up with "I get Sun for my health." To no surprise this new patient looked sort of puzzled. Well I am here to say we have been brainwashed and lied to for a long time about the Sun. Before I go any further I want to say, I do not advocate frying yourself or getting burned. There are obviously limits and everything in moderation, but I want you to understand the Sun is not your enemy. You desperately need it to survive.
As you have probably already concluded I have a different point of view on the Sun and Sunscreen than most people. So how did I arrive here. Well let's start with basic knowledge on how life works. Everything needs the Sun to survive, grow, and be healthy. Correct? We all know that if we starve a plant from the Sun it will die. So how are we different? Let me ask you a question, do you think sitting in an office all day, all week, and then avoiding the Sun like the plague on weekends is a recipe for growth? Would that work for your plant? Of course not. Ok so we got the basic understanding that we need the Sun to survive.
Now let's go in to disease rates. Are disease and cancer rates going up or going down? Going up, at an alarming rate. It has actually been predicted that cancer rates in the next decade are going to double and cancer will surpass heart disease as the number one killer in the US. But skin cancer rates should be going down right? I mean, we have all this sunscreen. Wrong, skin cancer rates also continue to go up. So we have more access to sunscreen than ever before, more warnings about the sun than ever before, yet skin cancer rates are going up? Yea, I know. Not adding up. When you speak to people a generation behind mine, do you know what they used in the sun growing up? Sun tan oil! Not sunscreen! Yet now skin cancer rates continue to go up, in younger and younger populations I might add. So what is the argument and explanation behind the rise in skin cancer rates? That people now have a false sense of security with all of the sunscreen and are in the sun more. Ummm I call BS. Just look at prior generations, like I mentioned and look at Vitamin D rates.
Have you heard anything about Vitamin D? You know the thing that is absolutely vital to fighting disease and supporting your immune system. We are deficient. Actually beyond deficient. But where do you get Vitamin D from? A supplement? Well that's not the original source, you guessed it, we get it from the Sun! So let's recap so far, Vitamin D helps you fight disease and cancer, you get it from the Sun, yet we are told to avoid the sun, and as a result cancer rates are going up. Yup.
There are also just smart decisions like wearing a hat, or limiting exposure with an umbrella or sun shirt. When I am on vacation, my kids always have a sun shirt and hat on.
So you still aren't convinced? Well this article came out yesterday about a study that is linking erectile dysfunction drugs to skin cancer. Big names like Viagra and Cialis. You can view it here. So there are other factors than the sun that can contribute to skin cancer? No way!!! Like things internally? Or things that are toxic? Of course! Cancer is abnormal mutated cells. But the Sun gets all the blame.
I also have two personal stories with skin cancer. I had a close friend that was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma. He went to this special cancer doctor in Spain. They tested his hormones and his stress hormones were out of control. So what did the doctor do? He put him on a beach for a month to relax. Wait what? A person with skin cancer, go sit on the beach? Well my friend is still here today, I know that. I also have a family member who was diagnosed with skin cancer. The only weird thing is this family member avoids the sun like the plague. He never leaves the house without lathering himself until he looks like Casper, and always had one of those big goofy hats on as well. So how did he get cancer? Makes you think right?
*One note; I do NOT advocate the use of tanning beds. Why? It falls in to the same category as I make decisions with food or anything else. It's not natural. Go to the original natural source!
The Health Choice Movement is a growing unofficial, non-violent, non-partisan, education-based global movement about preserving civil, religious, parental, educational, and informed consent rights; wanting to know what is going into our bodies; and having the freedom to make that choice.
The Health Choice Movement and its accompanying symbol represent the non-violent opposition of government medical mandates and control of food mandates, and removal of health choice.
- Allow open dialogue between opposing parties in the vaccine and GMO food safety debate, including: environmental toxins, epidemic of food and environmental allergies, autoimmune issues, cancer, autism spectrum disorders, chronic illness, Lyme disease, etc.
Formed spontaneously from a coalition of parents, community members, doctors, nurses, lawyers, students, politicians, activists, and consumers, the Health Choice Movement is composed of concerned citizens worldwide who aim to preserve the right to choose one's medical treatment and food, and to promote healthy living and information regarding the strength of the human immune system.
Health Choice Advocates believe that the choice of what goes into one's body should remain with the individual or, if a minor, the parents.
I had to laugh all weekend listening to all of the sports commentators on ESPN. They were all commenting on the NBA finals and more specifically the fact that now because of Kyrie Irving's knee injury that the Cavs had no shot at all. In fact the majority of the doubters said that LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers would be lucky to win one more game in the 7 game series. Well, Last night, they did just that.
I had to laugh because they forgot that LeBron James was on the Cavs. Now I am not a Cavs fan or LeBron fan. I am a Dallas Mavericks fan, and if you are too than I will use the term MFFL. But I am a fan of greatness. I love to witness it, to see people who are the best at what they do, achieve the pinnacle, the highest level possible. All the hard work, the hours put in, the blood, sweat, and tears, all of it coming to this point. And the ESPN Basketball experts forgot that LeBron is one of the greatest. Sure if you were to look up and down the lineups of the Cavaliers and the Warriors, man for man Golden State has the better team. But they don't have LeBron. And greatness shows up and performs even better against the odds, they perform better under pressure.
This goes for everything, not just basketball. So what makes greatness? Or what makes you an expert or one of the best in your field? According to the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell it takes roughly 10,000 hours. According to his research it takes 10,000 hours of practice for someone to become an expert in their field. Greatness never happens by chance. You might be thinking, no I have seen people who didn't try and were really good. It was God given or natural talent. You are right, there are a lot of people that have high potential, maybe even an extremely high level or number of God given talents. But in order to achieve greatness you have to put in the time, bottom line.
I have had patients who have been adjusted by me early in my career. Either when I was still in school or right after graduation. And then they come back a few years later and are adjusted by me again. And they notice a big difference in the quality of the adjustment. What's the difference? Well about 30,000 adjustments. That's the difference!
The Summer vacations have already started in the office, which means I am very jealous of some of my patients. Cruises, Europe, the Caribbean, my patients go on some awesome vacations. Talking to a patient the other day about their recent trip to Europe, she seemed surprised when I told her I have never been. Not that I don't want to I told her, I just never seem to make it over there. Really for two reasons, one it is hard for me to take off more than a week at a time. The practice doesn't do too well when I am not here. :) And when you only have a week, a couple of days of travel doesn't seem as appealing as a beach that is only a 2 hour plane flight away. Second, is I feel like my vacations are needed. Meaning I need the break, the rest, I need to re-energize and refocus. I find that doing nothing and laying on the beach, watching the waves helps me do just that. If I went to Europe, I would want to see everything! Whether it was the Vatican, the Coliseum, Greek ruins, there is so much to see. I think it would be exhausting! And if I need my vacations for my own well-being in this stage of my life, sight-seeing is not going to get me there. I told her some day.
But my wife and I laugh everytime we are on vacation. And if this is you, I am not making fun, just making an observation. We always meet another family or another couple on vacation. And they will usually ask us what we had planned or what we are doing while we are on vacation. And as I sit on the beach, I look out at the water, and I say "this". Most of them will then usually tell me about all their plans to go zip lining, atv riding, snorkeling, guided tours, you know all of the excursions. But to ride a quad is not why I flew to the beach, I can do that in Texas. I flew to the beach, for the beach. Now if all of these things help you blow off steam and reduce your stress than have at it. For me, it doesn't. I need a break. And from my observations of some of these people frantically planning their excursions before they sell out, they do to. I hear a lot of, "we have to do this" or "we have to see that". Ummm no you don't, you are on vacation. You actually don't have to do anything. So whether you are going on vacation, or you are just in need of a staycation over the weekend at your house. Make sure you are getting your break, you work hard, you deserve it.
The Weird Ones Have it Figured Out.
What is weird? I would say it is something different. I was kind of surprised by the actual definition. the first definition is "suggesting something supernatural". Let's just go with different. Through out history many "geniuses" have been pretty weird people. To be a genius or innovator obviously you have to stand out from the crowd and think differently. I am currently reading a book from a person who is leading the world in his industry, and most people would say he is a little weird. But that's ok because chiropractors are weird :). But he made me think of a class I took in college. It was in undergraduate, in Monterrey, California. I think the title of the class was "Critical Thinking". And the teacher was definitely weird. She was what you picture when you think of an old hippie. If I had to guess she probably went to college in Berkeley. And she would open the class the same way every time, we would have to go around the class and share something we were thankful for. There were no rules, it could be something small that just happened that day or week. Or something bigger. As you can imagine most of the kids made a joke out of it. Saying they were thankful for dumb stuff, or some refusing to participate. But it never phased this teacher, it never affected her smile as she went around the room so interested in what people had to say.
I'll be honest, at the time I thought the exercise was weird and a waste of time. I was wrong, she had it all figured it out. She made us start our day, at least the ones with her, with gratitude. Expressing or meditating on gratitude is such a powerful tool. It helps with things from stress and depression, to just keeping you focused on what's important and why you are here. Anyone who does things different is called weird, it takes courage to be weird. I'm sure there were times that this teacher might have felt intimidated by an unentertained student. Or wanted to give up and stop doing the exercise, but she kept with it. And look, I still remember it to this day. It obviously made a large impact on me. A lot of people are so scared to be different that they never truly express who they really are. Don't be afraid, be true to yourself. That is enough to be thankful for. On this Monday I challenge you to take a few minutes and meditate on gratitude. Think of the things you are truly grateful for. Visualize it, why are you thankful for it? What does it feel like? What does it make you feel like? It should put things in perspective.


Jess gets crafty: Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to all my readers from everyone here at Tea Towers!
After weeks of crocheting little bunnies I finally think I've done enough to keep my friends and family happy. These little guys have all been sent off to various places around the country and will hopefully all have made new friends by now.
finish off with a large tail to sew tail on.
I also found that the ears on the original pattern were a little longer than I would like so I didn't work the last row on mine.
Your bunnies are so cute! Happy Easter to you and your family.

How to Remove a Member of a LLC

LLC Checklist
Even if a member of a limited liability company wants to leave the business voluntarily, the member must be legally removed from its paperwork. This frees the exiting member from liability and protects the remaining LLC members from potential unwanted actions the person who is leaving could take. Knowing how to remove a member from an LLC helps you go through the process correctly and get it done in the shortest time possible.
What Is An LLC?
The IRS describes a limited liability company as a business structure that is not a corporation or sole proprietorship but provides many of the same benefits and protections. With an LLC, the owners, called members, enjoy reduced (limited) personal liability if things go wrong, and the paperwork and reporting requirements are less formal than with a corporation.
Review Your Legal Documents
The first step in removing a member from an LLC is to gather the paperwork, including your operating agreement and any other documents relating to the formation of your company, specifically those that name your members and how they might be removed, voluntarily or otherwise, recommends LegalZoom.
Determine if you need to follow any internal removal procedures, such as a vote of the members, before you look at the legal requirements you need to fulfill to remove someone from an ownership role. Take any internal steps you need to remove the member. This might include paying the departing member a set amount or percentage of the business's assets.
Start with a resignation letter from someone who is leaving voluntarily. Send a certified letter to a member who is being removed involuntarily, and use an attorney if this is the case. Get everything in writing, with each person's name, title, date of action and witnesses.
Next, look at the laws in your state regarding removing members from the LLC, which typically include notifying your state of the change. Visit your secretary of state's website to find out the procedures to follow. They often include following the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, explains UpCounsel.
Involuntary Removal Steps
If your company doesn't have written procedures for removing a member in your operating agreement, you might need to go to court and ask the court to remove the member or dissolve the LLC. Hire a lawyer who can help you file for a judicial dissolution of the LLC.
If you terminate someone for cause, document the reasons and ask an attorney to review any accusations to reduce your chances of being successfully sued for defamation. During the process, you also need to know how to protect the remaining members from legal liability and be able to continue to legally enter into contracts. This may involve creating a new LLC, corporation or sole proprietorship, depending on your preference.
Update the Paperwork
Regardless of whether you are removing someone voluntarily or involuntarily, once the person is removed, notify your secretary of state and the IRS of your new business status. Follow up to confirm the process was carried out. You can often do this with a search at your secretary of state's website.
You should also update your internal documents, website and other materials to your current status. Notify any stakeholders the departed member worked with, such as specific clients, vendors, suppliers or contractors. Change any passwords, bank records or other accounts the member was authorized to use.

Update the LLC operating agreement to reflect changes made to management positions within the company due to the removal of a member.
Hire an attorney to review all LLC documentation including operating agreements, buy agreements or articles of organization if LLC member removal procedures are not clearly stated in these documents.
