The December Birthstone Price How expensive is Turquoise? ![]() The sparkling gemstones with a characteristic fire are able to flash different colors as they are turned from one angle to another in a phenomenon known as pleochroism. It is the blue Zircon that is officially the birthstone for December although this gemstone can be found in many other colors – golden brown, pinkish red and burnt orange being the most loved. The best examples have such vivid royal blues with a hint of violet and a flash of red that they can put the mighty sapphire to shame. Tanzanite can have a legitimate claim to have the finest blue color in the gemstone world. The only other minerals that have become better known as colors than turquoise are gold, silver and copper Tanzanite Since then, anything sky blue has often been called 'turquoise' as the gemstone had such a characteristic color although the gemstone itself can be light blue to sea green. Turquoise was introduced into Europe from Turkey a few centuries ago. In turquoise, tanzanite and blue zircon, we have a trio of bright blue gemstones with a wealth of history that are readily available in a variety of sizes, shapes and prices. (I know June has three as well but one is the almost impossible to find and extremely expensive Alexandrite.) ![]() Those who celebrate a birthday in December are very lucky, they have three choices for official birthstones this month when most have just the one or at best two. There are three birthstones for December - Turquoise, Tanzanite and Blue Zircon.

6/24/2023 0 Comments Low arch vs high arch feet![]() ![]() They may try to cushion your arch not for support but for absorption of shock and in order to maintain the foot in the neutral normal position for optimum performance. They are the best people to be able to assess high arch issues. Orthotics can be useful to address biomechanic factors although this may only be a temporary measure.įinally, if all this doesn’t help you may need to see a podiatrist or orthotist. Physiotherapists assess feet and the biomechanics of the weight-bearing style. ![]() Aim to stay at your optimum weight or just below to ensure your feet endure your life journey. If you weight more than you should then this will greatly increase the stress placed through your feet. Grass and sprung wooden floors are good playing surfaces because of their ability to absorb stress. The harder the surface the more shock your foot has to take and the more pain and inflamed it will become. Shop for a shoe to suit your needs, where they are able to cater for people with high arches and flat feet.Īs well as adjusting your shoe, look at the surface that you place sport on. But those with high arches need a shoe with minimal support but lots of shock absorption. If you take a shoe by the toe and heel and twist in the majority of shoes this movement is minimal and that is what most people need, stability in a shoe. ![]() The shoe should also have a lack of torsion control. It should have a midsole flare, which helps with cushioning. This may be in the form of gel, air or DMX. You really need to find a shoe that offers little stability but lots of shock absorption. Due to the fact that these type of feet are not commonly seen not a lot of research has been done into this specific area. High arches have too much support and are too rigid. The foot has too little support and therefore arches are usually placed in the shoe to support the foot. With flat feet it is the opposite scenario. The basic problem with high arched feet is that they are too rigid and do not produce enough shock absorption on landing because of their inability of the arch to flatten which is the normal function of the foot during certain stages of gait. There is also the hidden complication of rotation of the foot caused by these conditions that can again lead to problems with pain. In both situations, the foot is not being held in neutral and this causes abnormal load through the foot and lower limb and often to pain and inflammation. Flat feet occur when there is not enough arch in the foot and high arches occur when there is too much of an arch. However, both high arches and flat feet can cause problems. High arches are not as commonly seen in the foot as flat feet. High foot arches are rare but should be picked up by a podiatrist or physiotherapist. Flat feet are commonly seen in the population. ![]() ![]() ![]() #4 While it may be easy to simply say the word of God, to put it into perspective and preach it is a very special gift. Thank you for bringing the gift of faith into the hearts of everyone in this congregation! #3 As both a servant of God and a servant of His people, you are the liaison between the spiritual world and our own. Thank you for working for a mission greater than yourself, and for being a true leader in the community. #2 As a pastor, you not only practice your faith but share it with the entire community. Thanks for always being present to serve not only as a pastor, but as a confidant, advisor, and friend. #1 Just as Peter was the rock of Christ’s Church, you are the rock of this community. However, your pastor in your church may need encouragement now more than ever.Īs we go to church and serve together, may God receive the glory even today through all of us.Here is a list of the 50 best pastor appreciation card messages and bible verses to show your pastor how thankful you are for all they do for you and your church. I’m grateful that is not the case at Sonrise. In some churches, this has brought great disunity and confusion. Individual members for various reasons hold a vast array of opinions and positions regarding the pandemic and its response. ![]() Pastors have sought to walk a careful line of loving God and loving their neighbors while seeking to serve well. For this, we are eternally grateful.īut, what about you and your pastor? Does your pastor know that you appreciate his sacrifice, efforts, and energy to serve Christ, you, and your church family? Is it possible that your word, note, or expression of gratitude will be just the thing that lifts his spirits, reminds him of God’s goodness, or helps him face a difficult circumstance with more courage, hope, and energy.Īs you know, the pandemic has taken a toll on pastors and churches as much as it has anything else in our society. Again, as I mentioned at the top, I get to serve alongside a group of pastors who are well loved and well appreciated by our church family. Today, on this last day of the official Pastor Appreciation Month and throughout the next twelve months until October rolls around the calendar again, please take a moment to show appreciation for your pastor. The results, of course, benefit you, your church family, and your pastor along with his family. Two things happen when you do this: 1) You glorify God in your obedience, and 2) You magnify God’s grace at work in your life and that of your pastor, his wife, and his family. In light of all that knowledge, yet, you honor God by honoring your pastor. This makes appreciation potentially harder for you but all the more necessary for you and your pastor. None of us want to teach or shepherd the congregation in any sense in hypocrisy on the one extreme or even simple inconsistency on the other. Possibly one or two sins slip under the spiritual mat without noticing however, most of us are dreadfully aware of our own sinfulness. We understand our own sinfulness and proclivities to sin. No one is under the allusion that we are perfect. Maybe I should type that with more emphasis – pastors are imperfect!īelieve me, we know. When you show appreciation for your pastor, pastor’s wife, and pastor’s family, you help them continue doing the work that God has called them to do – serve you spiritually and watch out for your soul. Yet, they must not succumb to long periods of discouragement, frustration, or exhaustion since they are responsible for the spiritual condition of not just simply their church family but, more importantly, God’s family. They experience all the ups and downs of daily living like everyone else in the congregation. ![]() No doubt, God knows that pastors and pastors’ wives are but just clay. The Bible commands those of us who are in a local church to show appreciation for those who serve us as pastors. Be at peace among yourselves (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13). Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you (Hebrews 13:17).ġ7 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine (1 Timothy 5:17).ġ2 And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Notice these key verses:ġ7 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Taking time out during any part of the year to say “Thank you” to your pastors is biblical.

This community and this College have a deeper significance than anything done or any words that can be spoken here this noon. Now, for me, today's ceremony means more than physical participation in the laying of a cornerstone. May it help assure to all her students free access to knowledge, just as the teachers of this institution will help them make intelligent use of that knowledge.

I believe that unless all negotiations between nations are based upon a growing understanding among the peoples of those nations, there is no validity and no permanence to whatever arrangements may be made.Īnd so I think that the function of the school commands the presence of anyone in the United States, when there is a significant occasion in any one of our important schools, and that person can find it proper to attend. I am here because of my ultimate faith in education as the hope of the world-Christian religious education, man's free access to knowledge, his right to use it. ![]() Recognizing their obligations to the society of which they are a part, they have never once hesitated, in the years I have known them, to take the hard and difficult way to discharge that obligation, instead of the easy way of enjoying things that they thought were given to them by that society. They typify for me an American couple at its best. Kevin McCann was with me in the services, at Columbia. I am here because of my admiration and affection for two people-Kevin and Ruth McCann. I am delighted to have this opportunity to return such a neighborly call. This choir that we see here came to Washington last January 20th and did me the signal honor of being there at the time of the Inauguration. For example, I am returning a call-I am returning a courtesy. But, in a way, they are important to me, and I would like taking a moment of your time to express them. I suppose it is not too important to anyone to have an explanation of my reasons for being here this morning.

If you have ever watched Annie the musical, then you probably have heard the chorus of this song. Jay Z is still a well known hip hop/ rap artist these days, but where he first made a splash was in the 90s and one if he greatest tracks was Hard Knock Life. With the help of none other than Snoop Dogg himself, Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang became a popular hip hop song of the 90s. ![]() No list about the greatest hip hop songs of the 90s would be complete without mention the great Dr Dre, he had an extraordinary amount of influence and power in the 90s hip hop game and you may not know just how many other artists he had a hand in creating and propelling them to fame. Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg Let’s Talk About Sex could be found playing at the club in the 90s pretty much every night. Their kickass attitude ensured that they were noticed and loved by many right across the world. Salt-N-Pepper were pretty much the unrivaled queens of hip hop in the 90s with songs like Let’s Talk About Sex and Push It still classics to this day. This song really helped to propel Snoop Dogg into one of the biggest players in the game.

Not only are the songs amazing, but the video clips attached are also iconic. The 90s was a time where a whole heap of music, especially hip hop music, so there is certainly a lot of songs in the running to be included and known as one of the best during this decade. There were a lot of new artists that made a splash in the 90s, as well as some who have been in the game for a while. Even if you weren’t born in the 90s, you can probably still appreciate a lot of these songs, and you might have heard them before. If you are thinking about the golden age of hip hop, the 90s probably comes to mind. ![]() 6/23/2023 0 Comments Toyota rav4 hybrid![]() ![]() The real reason for the warning sign soon became apparent with my goal of leaving the bush track I was on and gaining the safety of the sealed Oxley Highway within a short distance. Surely this was what my confusing sign was warning of - the road was indeed part closed because of this fallen tree. I squeezed the Mini through the very narrow gap left between the massive black tree trunk and a bank of dirt and breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, before too long the road was in fact partially blocked by a very large tree that had been felled by the catastrophic fires of late last year. A low slung hot hatch on a remote forest road in the fading daylight and a sign that was as clear as mud - what could possibly go wrong? The Countryman may have all wheel drive but a Rubicon it isn't and I had nervously chosen this more direct route to the Oxley Highway out of the Werrikimbe National Park over the more trafficked Kangaroo Flat Road I had come in on hoping the surface would be kind to a car that is much more at home on a twisting piece of tarmac. The fact that Fenwicks Road, although gravel and relatively remote, was in good shape was a comfort given my choice of vehicle was a JCW Mini Countryman. Governments have wanted to undertake "shovel ready" projects to alleviate some of the negative economic effects of the zombie apocalypse, and grading and enhancing bush roads must qualify. A lot of the forestry and National Park roads that I travel on have had a touch up lately. In any case the track I was driving on was called Fenwicks Road located about 150 kilometres west of Port Macquarie, and it was actually in pretty good shape. Yes - I know - don't go chasing waterfalls. I was driving down an interesting gravel track that was partly within State Forest and occasionally within National Park taking a short cut home after a very long day that involved a 4am start followed by a two hour drive followed by a 38 kilometre run/hike through a very pristine wilderness looking for waterfalls. The context to this confusing conundrum with the indecisive sign was this. What exactly does part road closed mean? Does it mean that half the road is unusable somewhere up ahead? Am I to expect roadworks along the way? I mean - "Road Closed" is an easy concept to understand isn't it? Do not proceed any further and turn around but "Part Road Closed"? ![]() The "Part Road Closed" sign was quite ambiguous. ![]() 6/23/2023 0 Comments Bubbles ringtones on my phone![]() ![]() The app adds new tunes and sounds with its frequent updates as well.
