Reading Proverbs 25 this morning and verses 6 & 7 was an interesting passage.
Here is a CandidTalk video for today.
Proverbs 25:6-7
Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, And do not stand in the place of the great; For it is better that he say to you, “Come up here,” Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom your eyes have seen.
I get asked the question often; What does being Holy really mean?
“What Does It Mean To Be Holy” . This video was created in August 2015. It is an explanation about what does being Holy really mean. We receive question often from a diversified group of people, and we thought to teach on the subject to bring some area of clarity.

23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
25Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?”
Jesus answered, “You have said so.”
26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.28 This is my blood of the[b]covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Can you image this would happen to you and the immediate expression that would be on your face. March fact month will be an exceptional month to be fully involved discovering who’s bowl is it that you dip your hand. The question isn’t that you dip your hand in the bowl, it is when you dip your hand in the bowl is the issue.
Who’s bowl is it and who is responsible for distributing as a service of what is in the bowl.
I’m stopping in to say “Greetings”. I recorded this video on Saturday morning about 4:30am while at the gym. I pray that this video cheers you up and if you’re cheered already, you will be more joyful. Make it a fantastic day!!
2. John Newton never ceased to be amazed at God’s amazing grace. He was heard to say near the end of his life, “Although my memory is fading, I remember two things very clearly: “I am a great sinner and Jesus Christ is a great Savior.”
3. The hymn’s final verse was not written by Newton. It was added by Harriet Beecher Stowe to a version she included in her novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
4. “Amazing Grace” is considered to be the anthem of the Cherokee nation because this was the song they sang on the Trail of Tears in 1838-39.
5. There are 972 known arrangements of the song and over 3200 recordings.
6. William Walker added the current melody to the lyrics in his 1835 hymnal.
7. Newton died in 1807, the year the slave trade was abolished in England.
8. Newton later helped William Wilberforce end the British slave trade.
9. John Newton wrote it for a New Year’s Day church service in 1773.
10. The lyrics were written by a British slave trader turned pastor.
1. Nikola Tesla was born in a place that we today know as Croatia. He was born in month of July in year 1856. Exact date was 10th of July and the exact place was Smiljan.
2. Tesla idolized Thomas Edison and was hell-bent on working with him. That’s the reason why Tesla went to United States of America in 1884 and did start working with Edison but only for a very short period of time.
3. Tesla actually inherited his interest in electricity from his mother whose name was Djuka Mandic. His mother used to creatively use her spare time building small appliances that she could use in her household.
4. Contrary to Nikola Tesla’s mother’s inventor-attitude, his father wanted him to get into priesthood because his father himself was a priest. His father was also a writer.
5. Johann-Rudolph-Glauber Realschule Karlstadt is where Nikola Tesla studied. It was a polytechnic institute located in Graz, Austria. Later in 1870s, Tesla studied in University of Prague.
6. After his university studies, Tesla went to Budapest and joined Central Telephone Exchange as a worker. It is there where he first came up with induction motor idea.
7. Tesla moved to United States in 1884 hoping to work with Thomas Edison. Edison was not only a famed inventor but was also a tenured businessman. Edison earned his fortune by selling Direct Current across United States.
8. When Edison received Tesla’s request, Edison took him in. Both of them worked towards improving Edison’s inventions for a few months. It was only a matter of time that conflicts between the two men started. Tesla didn’t have business acumen and he was more humanitarian by nature as opposed to Edison’s capitalist nature. So, they just parted their ways.
9. A few investors came along in 1885 and gave Tesla money to start the Tesla Electric Light Company. The investors wanted Tesla to create an improved version of Arc Lighting. Once Tesla accomplished what the investors wanted him to do, he was thrown out of the venture.
10. With all funding lost Tesla was back to poverty and turned into a manual labor to ensure his survival. It was only in 1887 that Tesla came up with Alternating Current electricity and went ahead with filing several patents.
11. It was George Westinghouse – an American entrepreneur who became interested in Tesla’s AC technology. Westinghouse purchased patents of Tesla for a sum of $60,000 in 1888 after convincing Tesla that only his technology can help Westinghouse to send long-distance power to the nation. The money was paid in cash as well as stock.
12. It was only a matter of time that Tesla’s Alternating Current started gaining interest all over the nation and that’s when Edison stepped in engaged in a negative and detrimental press campaign against AC technology, in an attempt to make sure that people buy DC technology.
13. Despite Edison’s attempts to defame Tesla and his superior AC technology, Tesla continued his work and went on to invent the famous Tesla Coil.
14. As of today, Tesla Coil is the foundation stone of all wireless technologies that we use in our daily life.
15. Despite Edison’s many attempts to kill the newly born AC technology, the World’s Columbian Exposition that was held in 1893 in Chicago, Westinghouse Corporation (that now held patents of Tesla’s AC technology) was chosen providing lighting supply. That is where Tesla went on to demonstrate the capabilities of his Alternating Current system.
16. In 1895 Westinghouse asked Tesla to harness the hydroelectric power of the Niagara Falls. Tesla did that which helped light up New York’s Buffalo city. This achievement led to rave reviews from press and Alternating Current soon became a standard of 20th century and it still continues to be a standard in 21st century.
17. Tesla’s major inventions were AC system and Tesla Coil but those weren’t the only ones. He also invented induction motor and dynamos. Some other inventions of Tesla that other people patented later in their own name include fluorescent bulbs, x-rays, radio (although Guglielmo Marconi is given the credit), remote control etc. He also pioneered robotics and wireless technology way ahead of his own time.
Five Reasons Why the U.S.-Mexico Border Is Critical for the U.S. Economy
1. U.S.-Mexico trade surpasses $1 billion every day, with the vast majority of bilateral commerce crossing our land border.
Mexico is the second largest destination of U.S. goods and services after Canada. In 2012, U.S. exports to Mexico totaled $216 billion—more than U.S. exports to Japan and China combined. [1]
Mexico is the United States’ third largest trading partner. Since NAFTA was signed in 1994, bilateral trade levels have quintupled, reaching $494 billion in 2012. [2]
Close to 80 percent of bilateral trade crosses the U.S.-Mexico land border every day. [3]
2. Millions of U.S. jobs depend on U.S. trade with Mexico—and on efficient cross-border commerce facilitation.
Six million U.S. jobs are supported by bilateral trade with Mexico, which means that one in 24 workers depend on U.S.-Mexico trade. [4]
More than 20 percent of U.S. jobs are linked to trade along the border. [5]
NAFTA-related trade between the United States and Mexico has added 1.7 million U.S. jobs. [6]
Trade with Mexico has created 692,000 jobs in California alone. U.S.-Mexico trade generated over 200,000 jobs in New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, and more than 100,000 jobs in 22 other states. [7]
3. Key U.S. industries vital to our national economy depend on Mexico.
In 2012, the top U.S. export categories to Mexico—machinery, mineral fuel and oil, vehicles, and plastic—added $128 billion to the U.S. economy. [8]
The United States and Mexico traded $70 billion in machinery, tools, and equipment in 2009, which were then used to produce other goods to be consumed locally or sold to foreign markets. [9]
The production-sharing model of U.S.-Mexico trade means that cars built in North America cross U.S. borders—both with Canada and Mexico—at least eight times during production. [10]
Even imports from Mexico support U.S. industries, with imported goods comprised of 40 percent U.S. content on average. [11]
4. Mexico is on the rise, with a growing middle class looking to legally cross our southern border to spend tourism dollars in the United States.
Over 13 million Mexicans traveled to the United States in 2010, spending $8.7 billion—second only to Canadians. [12]
Mexico may become the world’s fifth largest economy by 2050, with a higher GDP per capita than all but three European countries. [13] The border is an important gateway for welcoming Mexican tourists ready to spend their disposable income.
From 2007 to 2008, Mexican tourists who entered the United States through land ports of entry spent $2.69 billion [14] in Arizona alone, creating 23,400 direct jobs and 7,000 indirect jobs for Arizonans. [15]
5. Border communities throughout the U.S. southwest depend on Mexico to keep their economies growing.
In 2012, Mexico was the main export destination for three out of four border states: Arizona, California, and Texas. [16]
Twenty-three states count Mexico as their number one or number two export market. In 2012, 36 states counted Mexico as a top-five market. [17]
The San Diego-Tijuana border area, or the Cali Baja Bi-National Mega-Region, is a leading manufacturing and high-technology hub that spans both sides of the border, representing $202 billion in GDP in 2011 and a labor force made up of 3.1 million people. [18]
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
