times are hard for dreamers 

Sermon, Sunday, February 26, 2017 Eastgate Christian Church Independence, MO

What do you do when you're in a hard season? Stress might cause you to explode and take it out on the people around you, or implode and give up altogether. Do you burn up or burn out?=When you're under pressure, there are three things you need to stay connected to in order to come through it. If you' ////'

Charles Nenner - Very Hard Times are Coming (2024-06-29) Renowned geopolitical and financial cycle expert Charles Nenner has been warning of a huge war cycle and plunging financial economic cycle.  This week, Nenner’s war cycle “turned straight up” and his economic cycle “turned straight down.”  The next big conflict is not going to be in Ukraine or Taiwan–just yet.  On Saturday, this headline: “Iran Threatens Israel With ‘Obliterating War’ If It Attacks Lebanon.”  Nenner says all hell is about to break loose.  Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iran and Turkey are key players in an escalating war with Israel.  Nenner, who lives on the border with Lebanon in Northern Israel, interviewed with USAW just after a barrage of 100 rockets hit near his location.  Nenner reports, “The children here have not gone to school for a year, and we are under rocket fire day and night.  It is a very strange situation.  What I don’t understand is the Arab resistance, led by Iran, did not see what happened in Gaza.  If this really goes, Lebanon is going to disappear from the map. . . . How do I know these things?  I know these things because I work with several governments in the world. . . .  In the 1960’s, there was a war, and half of Cyprus ended up Turkish and half of Cyprus is Greek.  Turkey never accepted that. . . . Israel is using airfields in Cyprus. . . . If this really gets going, Turkey is going to take over Cyprus because they support Hamas (and Hezbollah).  Turkey will invade Cyprus, and this will lead to a war between Greece and Turkey.  Of course, Iran is going to be involved also.  Big boats are heading to Israel, so America is going to be involved.  Russia has its ideas too. . . . I don’t think Americans have any clue what is going on there, and they have no background.  They are only busy with trying to win the Election, and it’s going to lead to catastrophe.  If there is a war, Turkey is going to be involved, Cyprus is going to be involved, NATO is going to be involved, and it is going to be much more serious than people think.” Nenner says, “We are already in the next big war cycle.”  Nenner still thinks China is going to be a big problem and says, “I would say if the world is busy with all this nonsense, then this is a time for China to take Taiwan over.  The war cycle is extra up, so we have to be very careful.  A lot of my wealthy clients are busy trying to get visas . . . to Caribbean islands.  I know many wealthy people busy trying to get visas and trying to get out of America.  This is what is going on below the surface, and most small investors don’t know what is going on. . . . They are worried about a nuke strike or terrorists blowing stuff up left and right because they came through the border.  This is a very dangerous situation.  They are not leaving right now, but they are preparing now. . . . The war cycle has turned up, and it is going to be extra dangerous from the 3rd of July on.” Nenner says his big clients are also leaving the cities and buying houses in rural locations.  Nenner told me this is a trend that has been going on for about 5 years, but it has picked up speed in the last year and a half. Nenner says his economic cycles have turned straight down.  In NYC, Nenner points out, “I have very wealthy clients that just got out of commercial real estate with a 67% loss.  I also know the banks, they are holding all these bad loans.  The banks have US bonds coming to maturity that they have lost a fortune on.  So, the banks, especially the regional banks, are going to be in big trouble. . . .The regional banks are very weak.    A lot is burning below the surface, which nobody tells you about.” Nenner still likes gold, but it’s going to consolidate here.  Inflation is getting ready to take off again, and Nenner says, “Layoffs are coming soon. . . . Very hard times are coming.” There is much more in the 38-minute interview.

Report: Persecution of Christians Around the World at All-Time High Lauretta Brown Oct 20, 2017 Anti-Christian persecution is at an all-time high world-wide, according to a recent report from the international Catholic charity, Aid to the Church in Need. The report, which tracks worldwide persecution from 2015-2017, found that 75 percent of religious persecution was directed at Christians. The report also found that “in 12 of the 13 countries reviewed, the situation for Christians was worse in overall terms in the period 2015-17 than within the preceding two years.” “In almost all the countries reviewed,” the report says, “the oppression and violence against Christians have increased since 2015 – a development especially significant given the rate of decline in the immediate run-up to the reporting period.” John Pontifex, the report’s editor commented that “in terms of the numbers of people involved, the gravity of the crimes committed and their impact, it is clear that the persecution of Christians is today worse than at any time in history.” “Not only are Christians more persecuted than any other faith group, but ever-increasing numbers are experiencing the very worst forms of persecution,” he added. The report ranked China, Eritrea, Iraq, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Syria as “extreme” in their anti-Christian persecution levels. The report draws its findings from fact-finding trips and studies such as the Pew Forum’s Social Hostilities Index and Open Door’s World Watch List. Among the main findings, the report noted that “In Iraq, the exodus of Christians is so severe that one of the world’s oldest churches is on course to all but disappear within three years unless there is dramatic change for the better.” They also say governments in the West and the UN “failed to offer Christians in countries such as Iraq and Syria the emergency help they needed as genocide got underway. If Christian organisations and other institutions had not filled the gap, the Christian presence could already have disappeared in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East.” They found that Christians have “suffered increased violence and oppression as a result of a rise in religious nationalism,” noting, “in India, for example, persecution has risen sharply since the rise to power of the right-wing Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014.” The report also highlights increased persecution in China “where the President has described Christianity as ‘a foreign infiltration.’” “Increased hostility to Church communities accused of resisting government control has resulted in the increasingly widespread removal of crosses from churches and the destruction of Church buildings,” they note. “Some regional authorities have banned Christmas trees and greetings cards.” North Korea is the worst offender, according to the report which found, “unspeakable atrocities” against Christians that include “enforced starvation, abortion and reports of faithful being hung on crosses over a fire and others being crushed under a steamroller.”

Financial planning for education is a difficult task as schools struggle for a share of diminishing tax resources. The presentation of school budgets for voter approval must be done as effectively as possible. When presenting budgets, administrators should take into account that the public has a low tolerance for detail, budgets are boring, a well informed public is more positive, presentation materials should be attractive and brief, support groups are needed, and the media should be used wisely. The most important component of the process is the presentation of the budget support material. Fifteen suggestions for presenting budget proposals to the public are provided. The printed budget should be attractive, be self-explanatory, answer the public's questions, use graphics and easily understood tables, and use clear uncluttered prose. The author provides an example of a "bird's eye" budget that is easy to read, understandable, and inexpensively produced. A checklist for assessing a school's budget presentation is provided. Selling budgets in difficult times is hard work that takes careful planning and thorough understanding of demographics, social climate, and financial capabilities. (MD)
