“How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? The Call of Wisdom 1:20 Wisdom cries out in the street; in the squares she raises her voice. 21 At the busiest corner she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: 22 “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? 23 Give heed to my reproof; I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you. 24 Because I have called and you refused, have stretched out my hand and no one heeded, 25 and because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic strikes you, 27 when panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but will not find me. 29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, 30 would have none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof, 31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way and be sated with their own devices. 32 For waywardness kills the simple, and the complacency of fools destroys them; 33 but those who listen to me will be secure and will live at ease, without dread of disaster.” New Revised Standard Version Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content for your whole life.

Lay aside immaturity, and live. Wisdom’s Feast 9:1 Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn her seven pillars. 2 She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. 3 She has sent out her servant girls, she calls from the highest places in the town, 4 “You that are simple, turn in here!” To those without sense she says, 5 “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. 6 Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight.” New Revised Standard Version Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content for your whole life.

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. The Great Commandment Deuteronomy 6:1-8 1 Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the ordinances—that the LORD your God charged me to teach you to observe in the land that you are about to cross into and occupy, 2 so that you and your children and your children’s children, may fear the LORD your God all the days of your life, and keep all his decrees and his commandments that I am commanding you, so that your days may be long. 3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe them diligently, so that it may go well with you, and so that you may multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. 5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 6 Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. 7 Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. 8 Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, 9 and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

My child, if sinners entice you, do not consent. Warnings against Evil Companions 1:8 Hear, my child, your father’s instruction, and do not reject your mother’s teaching; 9 for they are a fair garland for your head, and pendants for your neck. 10 My child, if sinners entice you, do not consent. 11 If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us wantonly ambush the innocent; 12 like Sheol let us swallow them alive and whole, like those who go down to the Pit. 13 We shall find all kinds of costly things; we shall fill our houses with booty. 14 Throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse”— 15 my child, do not walk in their way, keep your foot from their paths; 16 for their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed blood. 17 For in vain is the net baited while the bird is looking on; 18 yet they lie in wait—to kill themselves! and set an ambush—for their own lives! 19 Such is the end of all who are greedy for gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. 1:1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: Prologue 2 For learning about wisdom and instruction, for understanding words of insight, 3 for gaining instruction in wise dealing, righteousness, justice, and equity; 4 to teach shrewdness to the simple, knowledge and prudence to the young— 5 Let the wise also hear and gain in learning, and the discerning acquire skill, 6 to understand a proverb and a figure, the words of the wise and their riddles. 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

"You want to do the minimum amount of work to afford the maximum amount of time doing the thing that you love. That's the way I want to live."

What is stopping you?

I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you. The New Commandment John 13:31-35 31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. 32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. 33 Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ 34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” New Revised Standard Version Liveology Yoga Studios creates uplifting content for your whole life.

My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. The Gifts of Wisdom 8:1 Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? 2 On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; 3 beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out: 4 “To you, O people, I call, and my cry is to all that live. 5 O simple ones, learn prudence; acquire intelligence, you who lack it. 6 Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right; 7 for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. 9 They are all straight to one who understands and right to those who find knowledge. 10 Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold; 11 for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. 12 I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I attain knowledge and discretion. 13 The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. 14 I have good advice and sound wisdom; I have insight, I have strength. 15 By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; 16 by me rulers rule, and nobles, all who govern rightly. 17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. 18 Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and prosperity. 19 My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, 21 endowing with wealth those who love me, and filling their treasuries.

Working on the Ashtanga Primary Series? Some techniques for getting into Tortoise Pose.

Stories are an integral part of our lives. Stories influence our self-perception, mold our character, and in part, define who we are. It is often through our stories that we teach values and truths. Through the stories we tell, we imprint on the hearts and minds of others (and ourselves) who we are. Most of us remember our childhood stories. It is often through these stories that we learned who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Stories like the one of The Three Little Pigs who left home to create a new life. The first pig, according to this story, built his house of straw. Along came a ""big bad wolf" who "huffed and pufffed" and blew that house down. The second little pig built his house of sticks and that same "big bad wolf" came along and blew that house down, as well. The third little pig had the good sense to built his house of bricks. Along came that same "big bad wolf" but he could not blow that brick house down. The moral of this story is to lay solid foundations so that when the winds of life come, we remain standing. Well, there is another version of this same story, told from the perspective of the "big bad wolf". It is entitled The True Story of the Three Little Pigs told by Alexander T. Wolfe. According to Mr. Wolfe, he was not a "big bad wolf" at all, he was merely a victim of unfortunate circumstance. According to Mr. Wolfe, he was making a birthday cake for his dear grandmother when he realized he had no sugar. Like most neighbors, he went next door to borrow sugar. It just so happened the next door neighbor was a pig who had built his house of straw. Mr. Wolfe said, "that straw was so irritating that I sneezed really hard and my sneeze accidently blew that pig's house down". "It seemed a waste to leave a perfectly good ham meal lying on the ground, so I ate the pig." "Finally," Mr. Wolfe said, "when the reports got out about me eating the two pigs, the reporters figured the story of me trying to borow sugar to make a birthday cake for my grandmother was not juicy enough, so they (the media) concocted the story of "the big bad wolf." Stories have different meanings, depending on who is telling the story and what message the storyteller wants to leave. It is for this reason that "We Must Tell Our Own Story, In Our Own Words! The stories we tell are powerful tools for shaping our identify and undergirding our sense of well-being in our world. It is important to our success and ability to thrive in our world that we look carefullty at the stories we tell about orselves and oour experiences. Perhaps you were "let go" from a position in which you had invested a lot of your time and talents. Why not tell a story about the successes you achieved while in that position.? Why not tell a story of the lessons you learned while in that position, lessons about that particular line of work, and about yourself? Perhaps you were in a relationship that you thought woulld be life-long and it ended. Why not tell a story of having experienced love and of being committed to "never giving up on love"? And yes, perhaps you have made more than a few "unfortunate choices". You may have failed more than a few times! Well, that makes you human! Why not tell a stroy of someone who (like Maya Angelou said) "did what you knew how to do and when you knew better, you did better." We are the stories we tell. And it is through our stories that we create our own reality. Perhaps, it is time to tell a new story, your own story; told from your own perspective and in your own words.

The first step in making these cupcakes is to make the cookie dough. After all they’re the highlight of the cupcake! For these cupcakes, I make bakeless cookie dough that does not include eggs and baking powder. This makes them safe to eat since they will not bake inside the cupcake. The Recipe: Mix together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract as you normally would. Separately, mix the flour and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until it’s well combined. Now you have delicious dough! Before you add the chocolate chips, separate 1/4 of the cookie dough and place it into a separate container. (This will be the frosting). Now, add as many chocolate chips as you can handle and mix well. Once you have chocolate chip cookie dough made, get two large spoons and a piece of wax paper. Scoop a spoonful of cookie dough and use the second spoon to get it onto the paper in as even a ball as possible. (This keeps your hands clean!) Try to make 12. If they are uneven, you can always add more to the smaller ones. Now, put them into the freezer and let them freeze completely through. This will take at least three hours, but overnight is preferable to ensure they are frozen on the inside as well. Once you have made the cupcake batter, add a large spoonful of batter to each cup. Place one of the frozen cookie dough balls into each cup on top of the batter. This ensures that the bottom of the cupcake is actually cupcake and not cookie!! Now, top the cups with the rest of the batter ensuring that the cookie dough is fully covered. Bake your cupcakes at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. While your cupcakes are baking, take the cookie dough you set aside and add 2 Tablespoons of milk. This will make the batter slightly runnier but still thick. Put your new frosting into a zip bag guiding it toward one of the bottom corners. With your fingers on the outside of the bag, push the frosting down. Close the bag and twist the top, allowing your hand to cup the top of the bag and push the frosting to the tip. When your cupcakes are done baking allow them to cool completely before frosting. Take the frosting bag you made and cut a small-medium hole in the tip (about .5 cm). You want it to be thick enough to easily cover the cupcake but not too big that it will get everywhere. If it’s not big enough, you can always enlarge it so start small! Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes in circles and top with one chocolate chip. I’m not the best at piping, but it’s the effort that counts and it looks better than just globbing it on! Eat the cupcakes!!! The cookie dough should still be dough and make for rich, decadent cupcakes. You’ll want milk or coffee #food #cupcakes #recipes

Years ago, I heard an African proverb about a pride of lions. According to this proverb, when the "king" of the pride grew old and physically powerless, the one quality he maintained was his "ROAR". His role within the pride changed from being the leader of the pact, to a secret weapon of sorts. When the pride went hunting, the now toothless, clawless, powerless lion would hide in the path of an intended prey. As the prey approached, this old lion would ROAR. The prey became so frightened, he "ran away from the roar", into the arms of the young pride, and became their meal. If only the prey had "run to the roar", his fate may have been different. Like this prey, we often run away from that which we fear, rather than facing our fears head-on.We neglect to have a conversation with our partner because we fear he or she may be offended. We want to go back to school but we fear what others may think. We know it is time to leave a certain job but we fear losing the security we think we have. Let me suggest the following approaches to addressing our fears: F - Face your fear.. Fear is an "expectation" that something bad will happen, it is not based on what has actually occurred. Have that conversation with your partner.Express your feelings and allow the other participant in your relationship the opportunity to change. E - Examine what is really going on. If you have that conversation with your partner about what you need and want, and he or she becomes offended, is it really the end of the world? Isn't it often the case that our greatest growth comes from our most challenging moments? A - Ask yourself, What is the worst that could happen? and What is the best that could happen? Sometimes just siting down and listing the pros and cons gives us a more realistic perspective. And lastly... R - Respond in faith, knowing that courage is not the absence of fear, but moving in a responsible and reasonable direction in spite of fear. Written by The Rev. Clara T. Mills.
