Christianity EtcTales Of A Pastor's Wife: An Unsung Hero (part 3) by Rayloverscrib(op): 10:07am On Nov 21, 2016
THE PASTOR'S WIFE( AN UNSUNG HERO)
One of the toughest roles for a woman to play is that of a pastor's wife. This role is extremely demanding, tasking, self sacrificing, and emotionally draining. So often the people forget about the one who supports the pastor, his greatest cheerleader, confidante, ally,friend, lover, and wife.
No one in the church family is as vulnerable as the pastors wife.

1. She is the key figure in the life of the pastor and plays the biggest role in his success and failure. And yet many churches treat her as an unpaid employee and an uncalled assistant.

2. She is almost always a reliable helper as well as an under- appreciated servant.

3.She is the single most likely person to become the victim of malicious gossip, sneaky innuendo, impossible expectations, and pastoral frustrations.

4. She can be hurt in a hundred ways through attacks on her husband, her children and herself. Her pain is magnified by one great reality: SHE CAN'T FIGHT BACK, SHE HAS TO SMILE BACK !

5. She can't give a certain member a piece of her mind for criticizing her children, she cannot straighten out the Leader who is making life miserable for her husband, she has to take it in silence most of the time.

6. It takes the best christian in the church to be a pastors wife and pull it off. YESS! Her crown will be special!

7. She is pretty more same kind of christian as every one. When the enemy attacks she bleeds.

WHAT DO YOU OWE HER?
1. You owe her the right to be herself. Allow her to serve in whatever area she is gifted.
2. You owe her your love and gratitude. Her role is one of a kind and makes her essential to the church well being. You have no clue regarding the pressures inside the pastors family. Love the wife and kids and show them appreciation.
3. You owe her your love and prayers. While the father alone knows her heart, the pastor alone knows her burdens. Pray for her by name on a regular basis.
4. You owe her responsible care. What does she need? Ask the Holy Spirit what the pastor's family need. If it's something you can do do it. If it's huge, rally others to join you.
5. You owe it to the pastor and his wife to speak up. Sometimes they need a friend to take their side.
6. You owe her compliments and encouragement. Voice appreciation for her talents and abilities, her love for the lord and her particular skills that make this ministry work, not join in the critics.
The typical reaction most members have when someone is criticizing the wife is silence, but you have got to speak up. Take up for her.

TO THEIR HUSBANDS
The men should love and lead their wives before they love and lead the church. Some pastors wife frankly think their husband have a mistress which is the local congregation they serve.
You will always disappoint someone, choose to disappoint others not the wife of your youth.

TO THE PASTOR'S WIFE
1. Take responsibility for your life. Love yourself, Pursue your Passion and be happy.
2. Take care of your self spiritually, emotionally,mentally and Physically.
3. Be creative because beauty and creativity restores.
4. Find ways of rejuvenating yourself. Know when you hit a wall then take a break. Plan get aways with family, trusted girlfriends. Do something different from your usual routine.
5. Don't fit into anybody's mold. Don't try to conform to someone's expectations. Focus on what God expects. Your flaws shows you are human and you are some one they can relate with.
6. See to it that you grow in Grace.
Note: Don't let stereotypes of what a pastor's wife is supposed to be hinder who you really are. Be genuine . Be yourself.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL PERSON TO BE IN THE ROLE YOU ARE IN. YOU ARE SPECIAL!
I AM SPECIAL!
I AM THE PASTOR'S WIFE!

Christianity EtcJust Drops: Sunday Inspiration: Must Read by Rayloverscrib(op): 7:17am On Nov 20, 2016
JUST DROPS!

Recently, when I was going to bed after using my bathroom, I started hearing sound of drops of water from the tap in slow successions, but since it was dropping into an empty bucket, I decided to let it be.

But, alas! When I woke up the next morning, around 5am, the bucket was almost full! I was surprised that just drops even in such slow successions could produce that much. I couldn't help it, 'Just drops?!' I questioned rhetorically.

But the following night, I made sure that the tap in my bathroom was locked completely and I checked the bucket and saw that it was empty, though wet. Then I went to sleep.

I guess you already know what I saw the next morning. The bucket was not wet as I had left it, but it was now dry!

Then I realized the importance of a drop and how much difference it can make in all ramifications of one's life compared to a dry tap.

Imagine letting the drops be for a year, I would be scooping with drums at the end of the year!

So, how about that drop of savings?

How about that drop of kindness and love everyday?

How about a drop of reading useful books today and every day?

How about that drop of a verse of the scripture today and every day?

How about that drop of prayer today and every day?

How about a drop of worship today and every day?

How about a drop of step towards your God-given dream today and every day?

How about a drop of giving into your heavenly account?

What virtue and discipline will you start today in little drops?

Never neglect the importance of a drop, for when the harvest time comes, you would have made a big DIFFERENCE in Jesus name AMEN.

Ponder on this as you are going to church today.

CrimeAbout The 7yr Old Boy: Lady Writes Him A Long Melancholic Poem (pathetic) by Rayloverscrib(op): 10:17pm On Nov 17, 2016
About the 7r old boy allegedly burnt to dead yesterday in Badagry area of Lagos state, a lady has written a very long melancholic poem for the lad.

The issue of this child raised a lot of eyebrows from people across all religion.

Read the poem below:
I thought they would make me comfortable, offer kuli kuli or groundnut with a sachet of Peak Milk and a bottle of germ free water, but they chose the cave man way of handling matters..

Since government officials steal billions and yet get standing ovations and gifts from stealing from the common man, I thought GARRI THEFT wouldn't be a pain in the butt, I thought they would ask me to call my family so that they would be offered some too but it was all an imagination that wouldn't live the walls of my mind. Here am I signing for my death warrant without even having the foresight to foresee it, maybe the HUNGER that I have been wrestling with defeated not just my stomach but also my ability to see beyond the ordinary.

I got caught stealing GARRI, so what? Afterall, millions and billions are stolen on a daily basis in the country called NIGERIA, it's just GARRI, they would let me go, well, so I thought. The moment the first slap reshaped my imagination and face, I knew it was going to be a totally different scenario.

They adopted the CAVE MAN way of resolving issues, they took turns hauling insults at me, took turns manhandling me with crude implements, my body was willing to stay alive, but my soul, yes, soul, saw the divine light, besides my body was conquered by that terrorising HUNGER.

Finally, I breath my last, I didn't live the life I wanted to, MAN decided to be God, to decide who lives and who dies. They cut short my life span at 7, because THEY FELT STEALING GARRI WAS MORE HARMFUL TO THE SOCIETY THAN STEALING BILLIONS MEANT FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMON MAN.
If we continue to live like this then the change we are yearning will remain elusive.. R. I. P. To the boy who was burnt to death for stealing(extempore) GARRI just to quench the famishing Hunger brought about by our LETHAL CHANGE.

The video shows Joyce with both arms outstretched and praying for healing of her upper back, and as she prayed, her arm grew in length. She exclaims “oh my God can you see it?”

The video has gone viral, with a majority of commenters slaying her for this miracle. Some are even questioning her mental health because there was nothing wrong with her arms before she posted the video.

2. Understand that there is nothing like casual sex: sex is sex there is nothing casual about it. It could be casual today and become deep and regular tomorrow. It is deceitful to believe that the enormity of the act is when you really go deep in it. Conceiving the thoughts in your mind and meditating on it is like opening the door for the devil to molest you. What do you talk about when you are alone? If you only talk about sex, you may just be preparing the ground for the act. Sex begins in the mind, so to think that sex can be casual is to end up a casualty. You may have sex and not reach orgasm; this does not make it casual. It only increases your appetite for more and more. Kissing and playing would soon graduate into a deeper level of intimacy so beware.

1. Be real and avoid pretense: many people don’t know themselves so they end up doing what they don’t know they can do. We have weaknesses, but a weakness is not dangerous if it is discovered on time and curbed. It is only when you ignore your weakness that it controls you. The first thing you should know is that your flesh is weak when it comes to sex. And there is no time that it will be stronger than sex. You cannot be stronger than sex. The devil knows that it is stronger than you so he uses this ignorance to over power your mind. Of all the sins lust leading to fornication is the only one that God insists that we flee. 1st Corinthians 6 vs. 18. Joseph would not have been able to overcome the temptation to sleep with Potipher’s wife if he had not fled. He knew that he was weak and the only way to be strong is to flee.

Foreign AffairsShocking Revelation: Trump Will Be Impeached! by Rayloverscrib(op): 1:09pm On Nov 16, 2016
According to a prediction made by professional prognosticator, President-elect, Donald Trump threatens new danger.

These days as a bomb ripped one shocking prediction that Donald Trump will be impeached!

Washington, D.C.-based professor,Allan Lichtman uses a historically based system of what he calls“keys” to predict election results ahead of time. The keys are explained in-depth in Lichtman’s book “Predicting the Next President: The Keys to the White House 2016.”

He managed to predict that Donald Trump will win the election but now he made one more SHOCKING PREDICTION!

Lichtman said that if elected, Trump would eventually be impeached by a Republican Congress that would prefer a President Mike Pence – someone who establishment Republicans know and trust.

Lichtman said:

“I’m going to make another prediction. This one is not based on a system, it’s just my gut. They don’t want Trump as president, because they can’t control him. He’s unpredictable. They’d love to have Pence – an absolutely down the line, conservative, controllable Republican. And I’m quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment, either by doing something that endangers national security or because it helps his pocketbook.”

For the record, Lichtman’s predictions use very different methods than pollsters and data-based prognosticators. Lichtman counters by saying that the system has correctly predicted every election since 1984 (specifically, his predictions have picked the next president correctly in all of those elections but 2000, when he picked Al Gore, who won the popular vote). And Lichtman has his own criticism for data-based predictions.

Lichtman also said:

“Polls are not predictors. They are snapshots that simulate an election. They are abused and misused as predictors. Even the analysis of polls by Nate Silver and others which claimed a probable Clinton victory with from more than 70 percent to 99 percent certainty are mere compilations that are no better than the underlying polls.”

What is your opinion on whether the Senate and the other house would impeach their own?

For information, the inauguration of Donald Trump (the official name is the 58th Presidential Inauguration) as the 45th President of the United States is scheduled to take place on Friday, January 20, 2017, in Washington, D.C.

The inauguration will mark the commencement of the four-year term of Donald Trump as President of the United States, and Mike Pence as Vice President of the United States.

4. You don't need to have sex to be cool.
"I lost my virginity when I was 14 to a guy who was four years older and not a virgin. Part of me thought the older I was when I lost my virginity, the lamer I'd be. I trusted my boyfriend, but I also felt manipulated, and now I regret it. The relationship eventually turned abusive. I wish I had waited until I was really happy to be with a person — not just settling for them out of fear that no one else would be able to love me." — Meg, 17

Before you have sex for the first time, it can seem like this big, mysterious thing. But it doesn't have to be shrouded in secrecy.

Eleven girls talked about what they wish they had known before having sex, so whenever the time is right for you, you can feel that much more prepared.

1. Sex is best when you really feel comfortable.
"You'll know you're ready to have sex with someone for the first time when the thought of them seeing you naked in full light doesn't scare you or make you nervous." — Isabel, 20

Romance10 Things No One Tells You About Losing Your Virginity (no 8 Is A Total Shock) by Rayloverscrib(op): 10:36pm On Nov 10, 2016
Read full here: http://www.loverscrib.com/2016/11/10-things-no-one-tells-you-about-losing.html

1. No one actually cares if you're still a virgin.
Yes, it seems like all anyone talks about is s3x .. .and like all of your friends are doing it ... and like the plot of 8 million movies involves Losing It. But trust us: You are not the last untouched human on Earth. Not even close. It only feels that way sometimes because your virginity matters more to you than it does to anyone else. And *that* is an excellent reason to wait for the positive experience you deserve, full of mutual deep-feels and next-level respect. That person won't care about how much you've hooked up. They'll just be PSYCHED to get to share it with you!

2. Losing your virginity doesn't mean *exactly* what you thinkit means.
You've maybe got this equation in your head: Pen!s → Va**na = Virginity Lost. But what if you're into girls, not guys? Does that mean you are you an eternal virgin? (Of course not! That's completely ridic.) "Other activities, like MouthAction, can be even more intimate than sexual intercourse — and also carry the risk of STDs," says Kris Gowen, a sex educator and author of Making Sexual Decisions. "Any time you're intimate with someone, it's going to impact you." So don't put too much on the technicality of just one act, and instead think of ~Losing It~ as a progression. Then you'll be prepared to handle all of the big responsibilities (am I being safe?) AND crazy-complex emotions (did he/she really just see me totally naked?!) that come with each and every step.

3. Your Hymen doesn't *pop.*
Seriously! The hymen is majorly misunderstood. So if you're picturing something sealing off your vagina like Saran wrap, know that's just not the case. AT ALL. "The hymen consists of thin folds of stretchy tissue that are just inside the vaginal opening," explains Michelle Horejs, associate director of youth education and training at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles. "It may tear or stretch the first time you have sex — causing some discomfort or a little bleeding — but it's not something you can break or that disappears once you have s3x." (Chances are, you already tore it a bit on your bike, or the balance beam, or just by being an active human. NBD, because your hymen is just a part of your body. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're a virgin.)

4. But it could hurt a little.
Before you freak, let us explain. To prep for sex (we're mostly talking penis-vagina intercourse here), your body needs a warm-up phase of kissing, touching, etc. That's when a guy gets his erection, and also when your vagina lubricates to prepare your body for sex (because no lubrication = friction = pain). But the tricky part is that nerves can interfere with this arousal process, and you and your partner could get aroused at different speeds. "Guys are like microwaves and girls are slow cookers," explains Stardell Smith, a health educator at Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center in New York City. (LOL!) You can use your fingers to check if you're ready down there. And if not: Slow. Him. Down.

BusinessDollar Gains More Strength Courtesy Of Trump's Victory by Rayloverscrib(op): 11:24am On Nov 09, 2016
Republican Donald Trump is to be the next President of the United States of America which is tipped to aid the US Dollar over the longer-term and we have started to see the currency pare its initial losses against the Euro and Pound Sterling.

Pound to Euro exchange rate today: 1.1197, down 0.19%, day's best rate: 1.1250Pound to Dollar exchange rate today: 1.2430, up 0.41%, day's best rate: 1.2548Pound to Australian Dollar exchange rate: 1.6208, up 1.62%, day's best rate: 1.6554Pound to New Zealand Dollar exchange rate: 1.7016, up 1.52%, day's best rate: 1.7245Pound to Rand exchange rate: 16.78, up 2.81%, day's best rate: 17.31

Donald Trump is heading to the Whitehouse.

At the time of writing the Republican candidate has secured the required 270 electoral college votes to take the keys to the Oval Office.

Reports have filtered through that Clinton has in fact called Trump to concede defeat.

What's more, the Republicans appear to have won enough seats to control the House and Senate which should allow a President Trump to pass policy unhindered.

We reported ahead of polls closing the view that a Trump victory would likely benefit the Pound against the Dollar but could see the currency fall against the Euro.

Analysis from Alan Ruskin at Deutsche Banksuggested that the Pound could gain by about 2% against the US Dollar on the event of such an outcome.

While GBP/USD was a lot higher when it became clear an upset was on the cards it has since fallen back.

"GBPUSD rallied overnight - in response to Trump’s victory – but failed to clear the 1.2557 highs of last week. The market has already sold-off with 1.2330 region still pivot support ahead of the range lows in the 1.2115-1.2080 region. Our bias is for a medium-term choppy range to develop further, while weekly momentum studies unwind," says Robin Wilkin at Lloyds Bank.

With regards to the EUR/GBP, Wilkin also notes fading Euro strength has opened the door to a dollar recovery:

"We are already back towards the mid-point of this range and expect the range to continue for now. Momentum studies are flat and only a break of the 0.8850 region would turn them back lower and open the potential for an extension towards lower support in the 0.8750 region."

The rapid recovery from the initial shock of the vote will have caught some by surprise, particularly if they choose to benchmark the event against Brexit.

Aurelija Augulyte at Nordea Markets believes the pullback we have seen from the initial move proves markets have learned from Brexit and enacted a faster reversal.

However, follow-through gains could still be possible as the momentum triggered by the vote has not completely faded.

“A Trump victory would in the initial instance, probably lead to a reversal of Monday’s FX moves, but likely multiplied by a factor of at least two times for G4 currencies, and at least three times for EM and higher beta currencies,” says Ruskin.

On Monday we saw a large jump in the US Dollar and fall in the Pound and Euro as a Clinton victory was baked into the market.

Trump Good for the Dollar Long-Term

The initial knee-jerk reaction to sell the USD was expected but now comes the hard part - deciphering impending currency moves.

Greg Anderson, Global Head of FX Strategy at BMO Capital believes the Dollar should benefit from a Trump presidency owing to his stances on tax, and his ability to appoint the next US Fed Governor:

"Trump’s proposed re-write of the US tax code could bring a big shift in USD fundamentals. Reducing US corporate taxes and closing loopholes has the potential to dramatically alter the competitiveness of American business and therefore the long-run equilibrium of the dollar.

"Without knowing all the details on the loophole closures, it’s hard to be definitive, but we (BMO FX Strategy) tend to view corporate tax reform as long-run positive for the USD."

"The President nominates appointees to the Fed’s Board of Governors as openings occur. The next President will nominate the successor to Janet Yellen as Fed Chairman when her term expires in January 2018. Trump would appoint mostly Republicans, who tend to be more hawkish than Democrats, although there isn’t a perfect mapping of that issue.

"The Fed’s rate path in 2017 probably wouldn’t be different under Trump, but over the span of several years, a FOMC that is gradually staffed with more hawkish members would likely to result in higher Fed base rates. This would be a USD-positive factor during the period the rates market priced it into forward curves."

Global Currency Reactions: "Making European Currencies Great Again!"

With Trump’s chances growing, the European foreign exchange markets outperform – even the CEE currencies like PLN, CZK, HUF – are nearly 2% up against the USD in early trading.

The Scandies are up 0.5% vs USD. The GBP, too, gained significantly, up 1% against the USD so far tonight.

The EUR and CHF are best performers in Europe: up more than 2%. The EUR/USD broke above the 200D moving average and the squeeze may continue to 1.13, and above.

"The SNB will have hard time this morning defending the EUR/CHF “soft floor”, but we still think the 1.07 should hold," says Johnny Bo Jakobsen at Nordea Markets.

We must also thank Jakobsen for the quip "Making European Currencies Great Again!"

Elsewhere, USD-MXN moved around 8% higher.

Prior to today, the largest gains in USD-MXN were during the depths of the Global Financial Crisis – 12.3% on Oct 10 2008, 7.68% on Oct 8 2008 and 6.38% on Oct 16 2008.

"If Trump prevails, with the focus on Mexico from a trade/immigration perspective, the move in USD-MXN could extend further," says Jason Daw at Societe Generale.

The South African Rand was also another notable loser owing to its status as an emerging market currency.

However, John Cairns at RMB in Johannesburg expects ZAR to recoup much of its losses:

"Based on the market sensitivity to the changing election fortunes overnight suggests USD/ZAR would go to 14.00 on a Trump win. It would be normal if initial rand moves overshot, with a rand recovery later in the day. Expect extremely high volatility: at least 50 cents on USD/ZAR in the 24 hours after the election is called, and as much as 30 cents per day in the following few days."
