Overcoming Economic Tsunami, Spiritual Hardship & Unemployment
Posted at 06:57 AM on November 3, 2008 by global5516
The Evangelical Christian Credit Union (ECCU) relies on other financial institutions to provide funds for a portion of its loans, said president and CEO Mark Holbrook. With many financial partners holding on to their cash, the credit union has had to curtail some of its lending.
"This reflects what's going on throughout our economy," Holbrook said. "Fewer dollars are available between institutions, reducing capital available for businesses and ministries alike."
As the economy has deteriorated, the ECCU has tightened its credit standards. In addition to requiring higher down payments on property purchases, it is examining applicants' year-to-year income trends.
Echoing the advice of sage investor Warren Buffet in a mid-October New York Times column, Leonard is advising his clients to stay fully invested in the stock market.
He insists things will improve despite the likelihood of terrible unemployment statistics... Read More »

Fresh from the Paralympics opening ceremony, these hard working artists from China Disabled People's Art Troupe are back at work. They're in a much smaller stage, more readily accessible venue at the Olympic Village -- performing every night during the 2008 Paralympic Games. |

Confucius said: A virtuous man has three awes: 1- Awe for Heavenâs decree, 2- Awe for great men. 3- Awe for saintsâ words... When worshipping God, one must feel as if He were visibly present. |

The essence of Christianity is not "to know" about Christ but "to be" another Christ, with Christ in the Christian and the Christian in Christ, in his Mystical Body, in his church... and Christ is God, the Absolute, the real "Tao" who became a real human person. I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. (Galatians 2:20). |

Thursday,August 14 2008 A historic state banquet was held for the heads of state of more than 80 countries who attended the Olympic Games. A total of nine round tables were arranged in a square; each table was named after a flower and seated almost 30 guests.Churches in China generally do not have denominational affiliationsï¼but some identify themselves very strongly with specific denominations doctrinally. We thank the Lord for all the support from the denominational bodies and pray for the unity of all believers. |

Ms Tai said, âI have lived in a silent world ever sinceâ. I was not aware of my condition yet, it was not until I was 5 years old, when the children in my kindergarten, who took turns to play âcatch me âwhen I was in a blindfold and found myself totally lost in my sense of sound and direction, unable to hear nor distinguish different sounds, then I suddenly realised I was different from the other kids. I was so sad at that moment and I cried profusely. From that time, I became fascinated by dance â an art form that is inseparable from music. I suddenly found an audible music from my heart, my legs started to move visibly and I begun to enjoy the beautiful melodies and the element of rhythm, a means to express my silent inner world. How I wished I had a pair of white dancing shoes. But, my mother had to quit her job in order to take care of my disability and going around looking for doctor with the hope that treatment could be found. My family of four only depended on my fatherâs monthly salary of 50 Yuan. Poor as he was. However, my father being a caring parent, he was concerned on my well-being and future, he was observant too and later he discovered what my wish was and those thing was important to me. On my birthday he bought me a pair of dancing shoes which I put on immediately. I started to dance joyfully on the bed, fearing they might be soiled on the floor. At the age of 7, I was sent to a deaf-mute school. In a rhythm class, the teacher stamped his foot like elephants pounding the floor in order to send those noise & vibrations to us. The rhythmic vibration went through my body from my feet up Suddenly, I was elated, feeling so happy, which I had never experienced before. I put my ear and lay close to the floor and used my body to absorb the wonderful sound or noises. |

Special Arts was a relatively new development in China and the troupe provided a platform for aspiring young artists to hone and display their passion and talent. Over the next 18 years of development the art troupe's skill level rose and with it, the attention that they drew. They would leave footprints of their message around the globe performing on the most renowned stages of our time including the Carnegie Hall,Kennedy Arts Center and the Greek Music Hall. Each one of them has overcome a physical challenge to pursue their dreams and are part of a pioneering group, They are rekindling the hopes and dreams of disabled people and the nation as a whole. You'd have to understand the way this art troupe is changing the way China and the world looks at disabled people. You'd have to know the way they're nurturing a new performing arts form and providing once unimaginable opportunities for their artists. For many disabled people, this is where their dreams take flight. Dancing in perfect unison with the music you would probably never guess that all of these dancers are deaf. Consider that for a momentâ¦it's hard enough for many of us to keep a beat when we hear the music so how do they do it? These dancers are actually dancing by âwatchingâ music. With sign language and caring teachers, these dancers practice tirelessly. 8 hours a dayâ¦days per week. They dance in such perfect unison to what we hear that it is easy to forget that the music they experience inside must be as unique as anything we've ever heard. What flow of notes and chords fill their imaginations as they follow the rhythm, we can only wonder, but one thing is certain. Being deaf has not stopped the music nor has it stopped these young dancers from realizing their dreams. The troupe's dance routines are one of the best known and best loved of all the troupe's acts, and of all the dancers that have appeared on the stage, there is one name and one smile that has become synonymous with grace, beauty and hopeâ¦said Ms LiHua,Tai. |

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) |

BarlowGirl Biography In 1984, a modern day philosopher woke up the world with a simple statement-We are living in a material world, and I am a material girl. Over 20 years later, the statement still rings true, even though the well-known singer of that lyric is now a mother of two. In 1984, the three sisters of BarlowGirl were either in diapers or in utero. But not all that much has changed since the '80s when it comes to the world's fascination with celebrity. In today's world, to stand out may mean having to cover it all up. Enter a trio of rebels of a different kind-rocker chicks with a message of their own to proclaim. "We are giving kids freedom to not conform and speak out loudly about what they believe," says the middle Barlow, Alyssa. "Our generation is ready to live boldly, free of what everyone thinks of us. We must live, and live with passion!" Becca, Alyssa and Lauren Barlow hit the music scene in 2003 with their self-titled debut. They stirred up the male-dominated rock world with hit songs like "Mirror" and "Never Alone," the number one song that earned the trio numerous 2004 GMA (Gospel Music Association) nominations, including Best New Artist and Best Rock Song and Album. Touring non-stop since the release of their first album, the sisters have hit every corner of the US with a couple of trips to meet fans in Europe as well. "As soon as we could write, Mom and dad bought us each a journal and showed us the importance of writing down our walk with the Lord," Alyssa explains. "During songwriting, we open up our journals. It's really amazing to see where God has brought me-looking back at the process of how I've grown, and fallen, and it helps to refresh my memory on what God taught me through those experiences." "Grey" and "Psalm 73 (My God's Enough)" are rockers with grinding guitar. Tender piano with inventive percussion characterize "Thoughts of You." The trio takes on a big, anthemic sound for the powerful ""Take Me Away" and a fragile tone on "Porcelain Heart." Another Journal Entry builds on the issues that are central to the BarlowGirl message. In our society, money and fame don't talk, they scream, says BarlowGirl, and never more loudly than at young people. "Look around you," says Becca. "Everything is about being a rock star and getting rich. It's on every t-shirt. Celebrities are huge-even reality shows have made celebrities out of ordinary people. Our culture thrives on it." ......... More |

Atlanta, GA - Atlanta Fest, the Southâs premier Christian music festival, will be held June 19-21, 2008 at Stone Mountain Park under the terms of a three-year agreement reached between festival organizers and the Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation, operators of Stone Mountain Theme Park in metro Atlanta. Atlanta Fest and Stone Mountain Park share similar values making the partnership ideal. âAtlanta Fest is a great fit for the park and we look forward to inviting families and church youth groups out for an event filled with praise, music and fellowship.â said Sonny Horton, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Stone Mountain Park. Stone Mountain Parkâs mission is to create memories worth repeating through a manner consistent with Christian values and ethics. Comparatively, Atlanta Fest strives to create an environment in which youth and families can deepen, or even discover their faith through contemporary Christian music and relevant Bible teaching. Since its inception in 1986, Atlanta Fest has been held at three different Atlanta-area locations. "Based upon overwhelming feedback from Atlanta Fest attendees including individuals, families and Church youth groups, we knew we needed a venue that provided an exceptional family-friendly environment, along with an option to camp out at the festival," said Chuck Tilley, festival director. "We believe that Stone Mountain Park is the perfect venue for our event as we move into our third decade." Atlanta Fest was held at Stone Mountain Park as recently as 1999. "It's a real homecoming for us," Tilley added. |
