Neale Donald Walsch put into words and answered my concerns about the interpretation of the world’s sacred texts.
Walsch says the material in “Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue” was not written by him but happened to him. God did not stop talking to us 2,000 years ago He talks to anyone who will listen. This book is God’s latest word and if we are ready the Truth in these teachings will move, empower and change us.
How Walsch accessed the information matters not. What I treasure is the wisdom.
Examples of misguided teachings include: We cannot get to heaven by our actions. We are born in sin and will die in sin. There is only one way to heaven and it’s not through any undertaking of our own, but through the grace granted us by God and through the acceptance of His Son as our intermediary. Until we are “saved,” nothing we do, not the life we live, not the choices we make, not anything we undertake of our own will bears any influence because we are inherently unworthy. God created us this way and God’s Son has to save us.
Another misguided teaching is God’s conditional acceptance. We say God is love but if we break His commandments we will be punished by eternal banishment and damnation. We even created a mythology called the “devil.” We have forgotten what it is like to be loved without conditions.
In the spiritual world no one will judge us. There are no victims and villains for God does not judge His creation. Hell, the opposite of joy, is unfulfillment. It is knowing Who and What You Are and failing to experience that. The goal of the soul is to fully realize itself while in the body. We are born of God, we are pure love. Therefore bless every person and condition and give thanks. Affirm the perfection and show faith in God’s creation.
The fall of Adam and Eve was upliftment for without it relativity would not exist. Original sin, in truth, is First Blessing. No condition in the universe is “good” or “bad.” It just is.

A Novel, Written By Sara Gruen
Book Review by Jay Gilbertson
Who, in their right mind, doesn’t like the circus? If you answered “yes,” then this book is for you. If you answered “no” then this book is for you too. There is something for everyone in this tremendously well-researched novel of schizophrenic madmen, a possible murderer in pink sequins and a towering heroine who happens to be addicted to lemonade. What could be more fun?
A depression-era circus can be the best place to be if you’re Jacob Jankowski and you just buried your parents, found out they mortgaged everything they owned to send you off to veterinary college and ultimately you had nothing left to lose.
Some of the central themes of this page-turner are to follow your instincts, stay true to what you believe in and try to survive no matter what. It’s the what part that kept me flying through the book. The story shifts back and forth from Jacob at ninety (or ninety-three–he’s not sure) to his incredible life on the train with the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show On Earth–the circus! By incredible, I mean that there is a constant fear-factor woven underneath every nuance, every situation is rubbed raw in not ever being entirely sure of just what the future holds, or even if Jacob has one. That dread is dolled out in buckets-full by the head honcho of Benzini Brothers–Uncle Al–who can have you “red-lighted” (tossed off the train) for any number of indiscretions, or simply to lesson the load. The incredible part is that, in the end, Jacob not only manages to become the circus veterinarian, he also gets the girl, a bereaved dog, one elephant (Rosie) and eleven horses. Who could ask for more, you ask? Jacob Jankowski, that’s who.
Then there are the animals. A team of “Liberty” horses, lions and zebras and llamas, giraffes, chimps, panthers, and Rosie–the elephant–the Polish elephant no less. The elephant that, like all elephants, drinks far more water than anyone cou

Although they haven’t changed the model number it appears the device currently shipping no longer has a reset button on the front. That button would reset the device to zero for today, like if you wanted to measure a particular hike.
If you look at the product picture that Amazon has, that is a correct representation. However, if you look at the user pictures, or google for a manual you see that previously the product had four buttons on the front, one of which was that reset button.
I’m guessing some people were pressing that button by mistake and losing part of their day’s activities so Omron decided to remove it. That’s fine, except now if you want to reset the display to zero you have to stick a pin in the reset hole on the back, and then enter all your data again…time, stride length, weight.
Does this matter. To me it’s a pain in the neck, but to most of the people who use the device it may be just fine since what they really want is to measure their total activity for each day, not a particular walk.
(Of course for a single walk, you just look at the display before you leave and subtract that reading when you are done.)
Seems like Omron could have designed a different reset button that was harder to press by accident instead of eliminating it entirely.
Whatever, it’s not a huge deal, I just thought people should be aware of this.
Aside from that the device seems fine, and that is covered by lots of other reviews, so I won’t repeat them. I just gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of my own needs. I also think they should have changed the model number when they removed that button.

This is a super carrier. I bought a lock not realizing that it had one built in to the system. The extra lock will still come inhand when you are carrying two bikes and the built in lock is not very long. This is a great and very well built quality item. Thanks!

This has to be by far the WORST book I ever read! I’m sorry I wasted my money and time on it.

This is a great buy overall; from my perspective. I have few criticisms with the Garmin, though, is the software they provide to analyze your workout data. The software has very limited capability and frequently makes errors in associating the type of workout. At least once a week it combines a bike workout with a run workout, even though the two workouts were on separate days and I was very careful to reset the watch. Combining the two makes it a varied workout and puts all the data into a separate category. One suggestion to Garmin is to make a version that can be worn in the water. Since I dabble in like to exercise I’d love to gather readings in the water, too. I’m very, very pleased with the Garmin 305. So much so, that after 3 months of use, I bought one for my wife. The biggest selling points for me are the relatively small size, and the great reception.

This little guy is great. I have not had a problem with it falling out of my pocket, as I clip it with the meter inside my pocket, and attach the other clip to a belt loop. I would have liked to of had a manual reset button on the unit, but that is the only thing I would change. With this meter, I have set goals, and am really starting to get into the walking and enjoying it. All I can say is “Get It” you won’t be sorry.

Not sure I can add much more to the thousands of reviews of The Help and I rarely review books but I had to go on record as saying this is one of my favorite books in recent years and will be on my list of all time favorites. I felt so moved and connected to the 3 primary characters – each of them unique and highly individual. I laughed, I cried, I didn’t want it to end. And I would love to read a follow up of how they each fare. If you enjoy novels set in an a historic context, particularly recent American history, and/or enjoy stories about women relating to each other, you must read this book.

I bought a new computer and needed the Office 2007 to keep all three computers with the same version of Office. This supplier had the best price on the version I was looking for.
The software is the same regardless who you purchase it from so that is not an issue. This supplier was very prompt to get my purchase shipped. It arrived before the scheduled delivery date!!
I am totally pleased with this supplier and would purchase from them again.
Thank you for a good job and a great price!!
