Raising Up Servants Among You

By Michael Tummillo As I troll through the Internet, doing research for an upcoming article, I became aware of the many articles written about leadership. Seems the Saints are quite concerned over WHO the leaders of this "movement" should be or, at the very least, who will lead their House Church. HOW should they be selected and WHAT it is they will actually do? Many who are attempting to "think outside the edifice" have only tasted of Institutional-style leadership and, well...we become what we surround ourselves with. When it's all we know, it's all we do. Reminds me of the elders of Israel in 1 Samuel Chapter 8. They had direct access to God Himself through Samuel the prophet but wanted a king like all the other nations had. God gave in but warned them of what to expect. It was a disaster. Such is the Adamic nature of man: somebody tell me what to do! I'm resisting the urge to say anything further regarding leadership a la Ephesians 4:11. That dead horse has been beaten into glue sticks by better writers and theologians than I within the House Church camps. The two extreme schools of thought range from doing what we've always tried to do in traditional settings to a complete absence of any leadership but the Holy Spirit. And everything in between. What's burdening my heart as I scanned the many articles and titles I read was that the focus was so much upon the subject of leadership tainted by what we've known and experienced, NOT leadership as Jesus portrayed it - the One who said that He came as an example. If I asked the question, "Who is the King of this Kingdom?" the vast majority of would say, "Jesus!" Good answer. We often forget that His Kingdom is an upside down Kingdom where the last are first, the weak are strong, the rich are poor, the dead are alive, one must lose oneself to find oneself, and where godly foolishness confounds the wisest among us. We forget that, rather than functioning as some sort of political leader or gangster kingpin, Jesus washed the feet of His followers and laid His life down for them. Compare that to the leaders of an Islamic terrorist group, encouraging his followers to lay down their lives as martyrs and strapping a bomb to their chests while he builds his diabolical empire. Having counseled many a struggling married couple, far too often have I heard men declare how "unsubmissive" their wives were, while he sits in his leather reclining throne with remote control scepter in hand, barking out brief commands for all his subjects to obey: "Sit down!" "Be quiet!" "Go to sleep!" "Where's my supper?" On the other hand, Jesus exemplified what a REAL godly leader was like. He accepted children, calling them forward and blessing them. He honored women. He forgave the seemingly unforgivable. He loved the seemingly unlovable. He accepted those who had been rejected by everyone else. He showed future leaders how to be prophets, priests and kings. A Prophet hears from God and blesses the people. A Priest offers up prayers to Heaven on their behalf. And a King - a King along the family line of Jesus - serves His people. I've heard the word "meekness" defined as "Power under control." King Solomon comes to mind. Remember? The Queen of Sheba marveled at the fine robes his subjects wore, how well the king fed them, what an incredible King he was; a type of Christ, I'd say. In Acts 3:22-26 (NKJV), we read: For Moses truly said to the fathers, The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days. You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities." The phrase "my servant" and "thy servant" are used quite allot in Scripture. I couldn't help but notice an interview yesterday with the Indianapolis Colts head coach, Tony Dungee. He is about to play in the Super Bowl against a protge of his, Coach Lovie Smith of the Chicago Bears. Dungee caught my attention when he was asked why he hired Smith years ago as one of his assistants. He said something like, "I knew he was knowledgeable of the game of football...I wanted someone who could teach." He humbly referred to Smith as " a man with Christian values, like myself." Incidentally, he went on to say how similar Smith's coaching style is to his own and how, in Chicago's camp, just as in his own team's camp, you won't hear coaches cussing but you will hear lots of teaching going on. I like that. After all, what is a "coach" but a vehicle for transporting important people? These young men who play football are more than mere athletes; they're fathers, husbands, citizens. In a land that's lacking role models, how refreshing it is to know some "servants" take their job seriously. Question: So, who are YOU coaching? As I often say, every one of us needs a Paul, a Barnabas and a Timothy in our lives: One to learn from, one to learn with and one to whom we can teach what we've learned. Water that's not ebbing and flowing becomes a stagnant pool. If you are in a position of influence in the life of ANY other person - even at work or in your own home - serve them. Coach them. They may see you as their leader; so be it. We serve God by serving others...whether we're given a title or not.

Body Language- Strategies To Make A Good First Impression With Women

By Teddy Shabba You only get one chance to make a first impression with a woman. Instead of leaving your first impression to chance you can use your body language to make sure that you leave a good first impression with women before you even say a word. If you want to create a good impression which will hopefully lead to attraction it is important that you have nice open posture. When you stand or sit with a nice open posture it reveals to a woman that you not only are comfortable with yourself but that you are highly confident as well. This is also known as making a good first impression with women. As a man it is important to realize that even making this good impression with your body language you still are going to have to approach the woman first 95 percent of the time. What this means is if you notice a woman who you are attracted to and make eye contact with her you only have a short amount of time to continue creating this attraction before you destroy it with your inaction. Yet, it is also important to note that a woman who has an open and inviting posture as well as facing you is much more likely to be attracted to you than the woman who is not in this position. This small little tip is especially important when approaching a group of women considering that if you pick the girl who isn't as interested in you she might shut you out since she knows her friend is attracted to you as well. Now this does not mean women who are not in this position are not attracted you. It simply means that women who are in this position are much more likely to be sexually interested in you than other women so approach accordingly. Once you have become an expert at maintaining an open posture you might begin to notice that you have a much more responsive group of women when approaching them than you otherwise would have had.

Relationship: I Forgive You

By Julia Jones He is brave who asks for forgiveness but the one who forgives is the bravest. It is not only difficult to forgive but at times it is difficult to forget. It takes a lot of courage to forgive and forget. In any form of relationships you or your partner or other family members are seen making mistakes and asking for forgiveness and then being excused for faults and mistakes is a part of life. But at times your partner makes such mistakes that you find it difficult to forgive. Especially in a married life when one of the partners hurts your feelings badly you find it hard to forgive. And even if you forgive you cannot forget it. It hovers over your mind and irritates you again and again. So when you forgive learn to forget it too as unless you forget you cannot forgive completely. You are always suspecting your partner to be committing that mistake again. That trust seems to have lost. In marriages couples often make mistakes. They involve into extra marital affairs, an act that is very common in relationships. Couples tend to get carried away and involve into affairs with colleagues and other friends thus creating problems in their married life. Once the secret is disclosed you or your partner who ever is on the wrong asks for forgiveness. You both sit together and forgive and start your relationship afresh. Everything is fine now. Your partner has promised never to repeat that mistake again and as been forgiven by you. But actually everything is not fine. At the back of your mind you have questions filled up such as is he or she going again with that person or with someone else? Its quite late and your partner has not turned up you start thinking is your mate with that person at such and such place with such and such person who embittered your relationship. It is normal to have such thoughts. Although it is difficult yet it is important to learn to trust. Once both the partners sit together to solve the problem and the offender comes up with a commitment never to make that blunder again then the defaulter should stick to his promises and never break that trust while the offended should have full trust on the other partner. Forgiving is the highest form of human behavior that can be shown to another person. Forgetting is equally as high a human behavior; it is letting go of the need to seek revenge for past offenses. You should show complete trust on your partner and should not constantly ask him or her about questions related to it such as where have you been? Were you again with.! Such questions create an unhealthy atmosphere. There is distrust and it is likely that your partner again commits the same fault, now out of irritation. Loving and forgiving are the biggest asset in a relationship but that does not mean that the partner who has been pardoned need to repeat that mistake again. It is a heinous crime to break the trust again when once you have been forgiven. If you reiterate your mistake after being pardoned then you need to think twice as what you do comes back to you. And somewhere or the other you would be paying for such mistrust. In the long run you would be searching for a stable partner and find it difficult to get as a precious relationships are hard to find and even more difficult to find such forgiving and understanding partners.

Improve Your Relationship by Taking Care of Yourself First

By Nancy Wasson Its important for you to take care of yourself before you try to fix your relationship. The old saying You cant give away what you dont have applies here. Until you are peaceful and happy, you wont have a peaceful, happy relationship. If you skip these steps and jump immediately into the murky waters of your troubled relationshp, you are at high risk for going under. Thats why its so important to do all you can to stabilize yourself before you get in over your head. Before you confront core relationship issues, first follow these two steps to increase your chances of success: 1. Commit to being okay no matter what happens. Make yourself a promise that youre going to take good care of yourself and be okay no matter what happens in your relationship. If your happiness absolutely depends on your partner being a part of your life, then youll feel fearful and powerless. As a result, youll be more likely to engage in ineffective behaviors such as begging and pleading. The more this happens, the less your partner is to want to stay in the relationship. Why is this? One reason is that you will be perceived as emotionally needy and dependent. Whatever someone else does for you will never be enough because youll always want more from that personmore time, more love, more concern, more of everything. Your partner can sense this and will be afraid of being consumed by your never-ending demands for attention and care. Another reason is that its too heavy of a burden to feel totally responsible for another persons happiness. Most people want to run the other way when thats the case. A partner who does try to be everything to the other person will eventually feel resentment and anger at being put in such a demanding position. And any sense of playfulness and fun, which is so vital to an enduring relationship, will be snuffed out. By showing respect for yourself and belief in your ability to thrive whether in a relationship or not, youll be coming from a place of empowerment and strength. These attritubes attract others and engender respect, making you a more desirable partner. 2.Commit to putting more fun in your life even when youre feeling miserable. Dont wait until your relationship is perfect to plan fun activities for yourself. Sign up for a community class to learn about kayaking, gourmet cooking, or drumming. Make a list of places in your town or a nearby one that youd like to visit. Branch out, learn new skills, and broaden your world. When youre active and having fun, youll be happier. An extra benefit will be that youll also appear more attractive to your partner. Individuals who are happy have a natural sex appeal that makes them desirable and draws others to them. When youre living life with gusto and a sense of adventure, irregardless of the state of your relationship, your partner is more likely to want to spend time with you. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to wait and see what happens in your relationship before you take steps to create a more satisfying life. After all, would you rather spend time with someone who is miserable and uhappy or with someone who is doing interesting, fun things and enjoying life? Enthusiasm and a sense of fun are powerful aphrodisiacs that attract others like a magnet. The more centered, balanced, and happy you are, the more you increase the odds that youll be able to create a happy, healthy relationship. Nancy J. Wasson, Ph.D., is co-author of Keep Your Marriage: What to Do When Your Spouse Says "I don't love you anymore!"

Illegal Interview Questions: How To Handle Them

By Carl Mueller Legal interview questions come in all shapes in sizes and local employment laws will dicate which ones are illegal. Typically, the following topics are off limits for interviews and are not considered to be legal interview questions: Age
Marital Status
Information about your spouse or significant other
Race
Sexual orientation
Religion
Political affiliation
Country of birth
Physical disabilities
Your plans to have children
Other personal information that does not directly relate to the job You should only be asked legal interview questions during an interview but lets face it, chances are good that you will run into an interviewer at some point that will ask you one of more of these not-so legal interview questions. You can choose to answer the question(s) in one of three ways: 1. You could choose not to answer the question which will probably ruin your chances at the job. No, this isnt fair but it is often the reality if you choose this route. Im not sure Id want to work for a company that hires managers who treat people this way anyways to be honest. 2. You could choose to answer the question. In other words, you tell the interviewer the honest answer to the question. 3. You could choose to ignore the question and handle the possible reason for asking such a question. If for example you were asked your age and you are young, you might respond by saying that you are experienced beyond your years if you suspect the interviewer feels you are too young for the position. If you are more experienced and feel that the interviewer might believe you to be too old for the position, you might suggest that your experience brings a unique insight to the role that a less experienced candidate couldnt bring. In other words, you politely let the interviewer know that whatever concern they might have is not a valid one. One thing to keep in mind when handling these sorts of questions: Not all interviewers who ask not-so legal interview questions are doing it for insincere reasons. Interviewers are human, too! No, it is not right to ask you about your country of origin (for example) but they might be genuinely interested to learn more about you. If you meet someone on the street and are casually talking, it probably wouldnt seem out of the ordinary to ask each other such questions and sometimes it is hard for an interviewer to remember that some questions are simply not ones they should include in an interview setting. If they are simply trying to make conversation with you, it can be difficult to consistently stick to asking legal interview questions and they might not intentionally mean to do something wrong so be careful how you react to such questions. Use common sense when responding. Just ensure that you are aware what possible questions you would not feel comfortable answering and be certain that you know how youll handle each question should one arise.

Drug Free Headache Relief-2 Simple Strategies for Treating the Causes of Headaches

By Gretchen Zaitzeff Common causes of headaches include stress, tension, anxiety, allergies, constipation, eyestrain, hunger, dehydration, sinus pressure, hormonal imbalance, TMJ, nutritional deficiencies, coffee, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, fever or exposure to pollutants. Headaches can also be the sign of an underlying health problem such as hypertension, hypoglycemia, vitamin deficiencies, or sinusitis. Because there are so many possible causes, for true relief, it is important to identify and treat the cause of the headache not just the symptoms. Drug Free Strategy #1: Drink two glasses of water and call me in the morning. Slight dehydration can cause headaches especially in dry or hot environments. Drinking water can relieve headache symptoms, rehydrate the body, and help the digestive system. Drink two glasses of water every three hours until symptoms subside. Water purified through reverse osmosis is the best; distilled water is a good second choice. Drug Free Strategy #2: Feed your brain. Eat a high protein, low fat, low carb, low sugar snack. Instead of soda and a candy bar, raise your blood sugar with one tablespoon of natural peanut butter spread on a slice of whole-wheat bread and top it with banana slices for an energy boost. Other high protein snack ideas: natural beef jerky sold in health food stores, instant oatmeal, tuna packed in water, or half a cup of 2% cottage cheese mixed with fruit or a tomato. Hunger can cause headaches as well as insufficient protein or too much sugar. Keep your blood sugar steady by eating small high protein snacks/meals throughout the day. Dont skip breakfast or lunch. Drinking water and eating protein seem simple enough, yet are often overlooked in our hectic, on-the-go lifestyles. The result can be a real pain in the brain-a headache.

Can You Become A Better Friend After Taking A Friendship Quiz?

By Brian Fong Q. Does a friendship quiz really work? A. That depends upon what results you are seeking from a friendship quiz. If you are seeking to learn how to become a better friend, then the real results are found more in understanding the lessons that are hidden in the question rather than trying to pick the right answer. In fact, if the friendship quiz is well designed, the answer to each question will be very apparent without even having to guess. There are certain well-defined traits that make a person a good friend, and there are other "variable" issues that get thrown into the mix. Some of the well-defined traits include loyalty, honesty, the ability to listen, and the ability to understand your friend's feelings. A friendship quiz should give you a way to measure whether or not you have those traits. These kinds of well-defined traits are easy to work into a friendship quiz. What's not so easy are the "variable" traits that I mentioned. For example, knowing when to "butt out" of your friend's business is a trait that no friendship quiz can measure. Likewise, knowing when to say "No" to a friend's request is another vague concept that no friendship quiz is likely to be able to quantify. The real issue is: Do you actually need to take a friendship quiz to figure out if you are a good friend? Maybe yes, maybe no. If you think of the friendship quiz as a "checklist", then you can run down that checklist to see if you seem to be meeting the basic requirements. However, if you "fail" the friendship quiz that doesn't mean that you aren't a good friend. A friendship quiz, like any quiz, has a built-in bias since it measures what the quiz's author thinks are valuable traits of friendship. The author may be all wrong in that the friendship quiz may measure things that aren't important to you and your friends. My advice is to consider a friendship quiz as an "entertainment only" device and not something that will cause you to become a hermit if you don't score 100%. The best friendship quiz is one that only your head and your heart knows the answers to. Treat your friends like you would want to be treated and you won't need a friendship quiz to keep score. ----------------------------------------------------------------

Ever Travel Internationally With Your Cell Phone?

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Roger_Gimbel]Roger Gimbel Have you ever traveled internationally with your cell phone? I have. A couple of points: When you get there it MIGHT work. Most phones actually do work around the world. GSM, in particular, is a widely used technology. Hopefully you have spent a few hours researching this issue with your carrier before you left. It MIGHT work if I can get my US carrier's customer service rep on the line to tell me how/what to dial from what country/network and other confusing/frustrating stuff I really don't care about. Ah ha ... you've got a connection, now to call the family, maybe the office ... you can push all the buttons you want until your finger bleeds ... but ya' better know what to push and in what order. No problem, call your carrier ... but you're in Vietnam, and the hold music sounds the same there as anywhere ... so what do you push with your bloody finger anyhow? When I get home I immediately give all my money to my carrier ... just can't stand the wait time for the ridiculous bill. If you don't plan ahead and check with your carrier about international calling rates you're in for a big surprise. Most carriers offer an international rate plan which is about as valuable as a note from your mother to the carrier in Africa who is going to charge you whatever amount they feel is unconscionable and then multiple it by 25. So what to do when you get to Beijing? Just trot over to the local phone store, kiosk, kid on the corner and buy yourself a cheap ol' phone card with a chip. Insert it into your phone and voila, you're paying cheap local rates ... dirt cheap for local calls and about 25 million times cheaper for international. Sure, you get a different phone number ... you can just be happy and use it, check voicemail on the unaffordable carrier, or forward your calls, all pretty simple, and less expensive than the bankruptcy lawyer. By the way you can keep the number. I think it's pretty cool to have a China number anyhow ... good for my "big shot" ego. What? You put the chip in and nadda, nuca, nuttin! AH HA ... so you have a locked cell phone. No surprise. Ninty percent or more cell phones sold in the U.S. are sold by cell service carriers. You know, the ones who give you a big huge discount when you buy their locked phone ........ now you get it! They're just waiting for you to get home from your trip. Your local Bar Association can supply you with a list of good bankruptcy lawyers. For more information on unlocked phones, why they are better, newer and overall cheaper, please go to WXPlanet. You'll be surprised at how cheap it can be to go there ... still talk ... and come home unscathed. Oh, and you can also reach me on my China number at 13717.809.532 - please leave a message.

A Little Bit About Electro Acupuncture Acupressure

By Vadim Struzman A little bit about Electro Acupuncture Acupressure Do You Know that: Acupressure has been used to reduce post-operative nausea and vomiting in children. Acupressure also reduces nausea in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Acupressure, if correctly performed, increases circulation, reduces tension and pain and enables the body to relax. Acupressure strengthens the immune system and promotes wellness. Acupressure is more effective than physical therapy for the majority of patients with low back pain. Acupressure is used to reduce fear and anxiety in trauma victims and in pre-operative care.Acupressure can be done anywhere with or without special equipment. Having said that, what isAcupuncture - Acupressure Acupuncture is a comprehensive system of health care for treatment of acute chronic disorders, which originated in China almost 4000 years ago. A science based on natural law, its philosophy is to heal safely and without side effects. The goal of acupuncture is to promote self healing from within. The realignment of the energy field is based on the concept of the energy of life (Chi, or Qi in some books). It flows throughout the body to regenerate and nourish. It is generated by the internal organs and flows along paths called meridians. This network is continuously "communicating" with the rest of the body keeping all the functions in complete harmony. In this way, the nervous, digestive, muscular, etc systems all coordinate with each other through these network points. Acupuncturists determine whether Chi is weak, stagnant or otherwise out of balance, which indicates the points to be stimulated.
Illness is caused when Chi does not flow properly throughout the body. Along the meridians are points where Chi can be affected by acupuncture needles or finger pressure or low voltage electrical pulses.

In this way Chi is invigorated and its functions of nourishing, transforming, and protecting are enhanced. Clinically it has been time tested to be a safe, natural way to restore and maintain health. Massage, in my opinion, originated in nature itself, with the mother and child relationship. Just have look at the animal world and you will see how all mothers (well, nearly all, nature is not without faults) treat their babies. Cuddling, licking and stroking are common. If you combine the two together acupuncture and massage, we have acupuncture massage, or acupressure.

Acupressure is a technique based on the same ideas as acupuncture.

Acupressure involves placing physical pressure by finger, hand, elbow, or with the aid of electrical or mechanical devices on different acupuncture points on the surface of the body. To put it simply: Massage of specific acupuncture points is acupressure. Many martial arts also study and use acupressure for self-defence and health purposes. The points or combinations of points are said to be used to manipulate or handicap an opponent. Also, martial artists regularly massage their own acupressure points in routines to remove blockages from their own meridians, claiming to thereby improve their circulation and flexibility and keeping the points "soft" or less vulnerable to an attack. Attacking the acupressure points is one of the techniques in some martial arts. You can learn to do acupressure at home as a supplement to visits to a practitioner. This is especially useful when you are suddenly stricken with illness or pain and you can't get to the doctor quickly. Now I would like to introduce You to Electro Acupuncture Acupressure!
What are electro acupuncture acupressure massagers? People are scared today of needles with the emergence of AIDS and other similar types of diseases. But since acupuncture is indeed a great medicinal help, it did not die. Alternatives have been created in the form of electro acupuncture (where stimulations are done with electrical pulses). Therefore, the principles in all the derivative techniques remain the same, and so do the results. Today on the market we have a few different types of electro acupuncture acupressure massagers. In some cases they are called electro, in some electronic. Let me explain this part first. In reality, this is a machine with an electronic circuit, which is producing low current electrical pulses, that you actually feel on your skin through electrical pads (or other devices) connected to your body. So, both would be correct. In some cases they are called acupuncture in some acupressure. Electrical pulses are directed to the acu-points and at the same time, by pulsating they are slightly pressuring those points as well. Again, both are correct. I will call those machines electro acupuncture massagers (EAM), or acupuncture massagers (AM). Now I'll explain a little bit about TENS, EMS. This is the definition: "TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free method of pain relief. It is ideal for the treatment of arthritis. Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. TENS uses soothing pulses that are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalin." The same can be said about Electrical Muscle Stimulation or EMS The difference, as you can see, is one is used more for treating nerves and the other is used more for muscles. One more fundamental difference between TENS, EMS and EAM or AM is the frequencies at which they operate. TENS are usually in the range of 1-152 Hz EMS are approximately the same. EAM or AM are more at the lower level of this range 1-52 Hz, but with a higher level of pulse's strength. In my opinion and the opinions of many doctors and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, I have spoken with, low range frequencies are more suitable for pain relief and muscle stimulation and the higher range frequencies are used more for treating specific illnesses and must be done under the supervision of a doctor. So, all of them are very useful tools.

Honesty and Online Dating

By Andrew Bicknell If you are planning on joining the millions of singles in the world of online dating then the one thing you need to know is that you need to be honest with yourself and with those you will be matched up with. If you are truly looking for a lasting relationship then you owe it to yourself and others to be honest about who you are and what you are looking for. You need to treat your online dating experience the same as if you met someone for a regular date. On a regular date you are face to face, talking, sharing stories, reading body language and that makes it easy to read the other person, just as they are reading you. And if you are not honest on a regular date sooner or later your date will start to see through you and your chances of a another date are little to none. Now in the online dating world you will not get that face to face contact. All you and the person you have been matched with will be able to go off of is your personal profile and the emails that you have started to exchange. You can say alot with written words, but the problem is that it's hard to judge character, emotion or intent from written words. When you fill out your profile about who you are, what you do and what you want out of life you can say anything you want and no one will be the wiser. And you may run into others who have embellished their profiles as well. The question you have to ask when you are doing your profile is how would you feel if you met someone through an online dating service and when you finally meet how would you feel if everything they said about themselves was not necessarily true. Think about it, you've just spent allot of time and energy trying to get to know this person and when you finally meet face to face and start talking you start to find out that they are not the same person you just spent a month or two exchanging emails with. It's in your best interest to be completely upfront and honest in your profile and when you start exchanging emails, because if you aren't, the moment they find out you will be right back at square one again. And if they report you to the dating service you could loose your membership as well. Any long term relationship is built on trust, and if you can't be honest from the get go your chances of finding that type of relationship are not very good. Remember, you want someone to fall for the person you are, not the person you think they want you to be. Andrew Bicknell is a writer and the owner of http://www.romancinghearts.com.

Payday Loan Information Guide

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mansi_Aggarwal]Mansi Aggarwal Payday loan is the best friend of a man when he is badly in need of money but just doesnt have it. Payday loan is the fastest and hottest way to acquire cash. Basically a payday loan provides you with an unsecured, short-term cash advance until your payday. Payday loans are the ideal way to acquire money in case of any uninformed expense such as a car repair bill, an instant costly trip, check bounces, other penalties, an accident, death or such unfortunate happening in the family and so forth. For many people payday loans are a means to pay off their monthly rent, grocery bills, utilities and other such day-to-day expenses. Payday loan is recognized by various names such as cash advance loan, check advance loan or as a post-dated check loan. In terms of the Federal Trade Commission payday loans are known as costly cash. But whatever the name may be the fact remains that at present payday loans are the hottest way to acquire instant cash. Countless people across the world believe that payday loans are perfect because of the convenience to qualify for the loan, fast approvals and least amount of paperwork in comparison to other financing avenues. Day by day a surge is witnessed in the number of people and the extent to which they are availing the payday loan option. According to a recent survey most consumers utilize the payday loan service around eight to ten times in a year. Also the additional and beneficial services offered by the payday loan companies add to the enticement of these loans. One of the current advantages of payday loans is that these can be obtained online even. For instance Cashproceeds.com lately ventured into this area and announced its easy to qualify for, online cash advance and payday loan service. Consequently people in any part of the world can apply online and acquire immediate cash to meet their needs. Applying for a payday loan consists of filling an application form asking personal details, occupational information, current banking and requisite financial information and references too. At times bank statements for last few months are also asked for. If in the last two months you have incurred lot many NSF i.e. non-sufficient fund then your loan request is liable to be rejected. The online money lending companies require you to have a current job that has lasted for three consecutive months along with at least a net take home for $800 and a valid checking account functioning from minimum three months. Your bank statements and related information is important because this builds your credibility in front of the online payday lender. The Tele-track system that these lenders use verifies your banking history information like checking your account, number of NSFs and running outstanding payday loans. So if someone plans to betray by filling in wrong information, the money lending online organization can easily catch hold of the deceit. After going through your details and verifying them the payday lender decides the amount of payday loan that usually does not exceed $1500. However due to the high interest rates, the payday loans are not a prudent option in the long run. So it is better not to rely much on them.

Rebuilding Society and The Tax Protest Movement

By Jack Kettler Rebuilding society and the tax protest movement:
A Biblical Opinion and Strategy By Jack Kettler I have sympathy and am grateful that many tax protestors are concerned enough with the unjust tax system to educate themselves beyond the great majority of their fellow citizens. Nevertheless, I disagree with many of the tax protest arguments and strategies. As this article proceeds I will raise questions along the way that the tax protestor is morally obliged to answer. These questions are intended to provoke thought and challenge assumptions that have not been carefully thought out. Interspersed throughout the article I will touch on issues that are related to the high level of taxation and the resulting loss of freedom, along with thoughts on a strategy to regain freedom in our society. My comments in this article should make it abundantly clear that I do not favor the present level of taxation or the system itself. The present tax system needs to be completely repudiated and done away with. Accomplishing this depends upon a biblical strategy. Departure from or rejection of Scriptural teaching will ensure further loss of freedom and defeat. We will look at several important biblical texts and survey some historical research and commentary materials that are relevant to the topic of taxation and the citizens duty to government. I especially hope to challenge those tax protestors of Christian convictions. More importantly, I hope to provide a general course of action that is biblically based and faithful to the reformation tradition. Hopefully, my numerous comments along the way will serve to accomplish this. My philosophy towards a government and society, which have become deformed, is one of reclaiming and rebuilding under Christs lordship. This requires a biblical optimistic view of history. Contrary to this would be despair, apathy, or a Luddite policy of destruction towards government. It seems to me that when given the option we should pick our battles carefully, i.e., count the costs. See Luke 14:28-32. Christ has instructed us to be wise. See Matt. 10:16. Do we have sufficient means to win the battle? If we lose the battle, what will be the consequences? What will be the consequences it we ignore certain battles? What are our priorities? It is true that taxes and regulations are now at an all time high. This puts a tremendous burden on Christian families. As a consequence, wives have entered the work place to make ends meet. Christians have been forced to put their children in the hands of non-believers for education in the government schools. Lower taxes would certainly produce freedom to choose other alternatives for educating our children. The current government program for raising the villages children has been an unmitigated disaster from a Christian perspective. Socialists and other proponents of the tax-welfare-state like uneducated populations, or people who have been given a sub-standard education in the government schools. Uneducated people are easy to control because they fall prey to specious arguments and the malignant agenda of socialism. Socialism reflects mans fallen nature by enticing people to use the power of the group to steal other peoples property and wealth. When considering Scriptural passages such as Exodus 20:15 which forbids stealing, socialism can best be described as organized crime, or collective evil. Thievery and covetousness are bound up in the hearts of fallen men. Many debased citizens are only too glad to use the power of government to steal from their neighbors. Inheritance and property taxes are two examples of how this happens. Government stealing is always done in the name of good things, such as the children. Should Christians be involved in the tax protest movement? The definition of a tax protestor utilized in this article is one who has stopped filing and refuses to pay taxes. Is the tax protest movement a solution? Criticizing the government tax system and refusing to pay taxes are two entirely different things. If refusing to pay taxes is contrary to Scripture, will God honor those involved in the tax protest movement? What battles will help further the cause of Christ and the gospel? The reconstruction of society will not take place without a reformation of the individual and church first. This does not mean that we have to sit back and wait. The reconstruction of the individual, church and society can happen simultaneously. We value and prize the Constitution of our country. While not being perfect, it is, in the words of R.J. Rushdoony, a good procedural manual.1 The Constitution was a product of a time when the Judeo-Christian world view was dominant. At numerous points the Constitution reflects the teaching of Scripture. We should appeal to it in much the same way that Paul used his Roman citizenship. Ultimately, we must recognize the Constitution is the word of man. The Christian receives God's revelation in the Bible as absolute truth. We are therefore obligated to proceed biblically. How does the reconstruction of society happen? Are tax revolts the answer? Rushdoony comments on this: The reconstruction of society comes not by tax revolts
or any kind of revolution but by regeneration.2 God directs His people to pray and repent. See II Chronicles 7:14. This action on our part constitutes the first matter of importance. Jesus commands His servants to "Occupy till I come" (Luke 19:13). Occupy can mean to engage, which carries a connotation of conquering, or taking over. Consequently, this passage is relevant to the Christians active involvement in society. Christ in another place instructs us to be the salt and light within society (Matt. 5:13-16). Salt has a preservative quality, and darkness disappears when there is light. These passages from the gospels are relevant to what is called the cultural mandate. Societal reformation is the result of Christian faithfulness to this mandate, which requires an unequivocal engagement in society. Numerous books such as Good-Bye April 15th by Boston Tea Party3 have been written attempting to convince people that they are under no obligation to pay federal income taxes. Boston Tea Party is a Common Law Trademark of Javelin Press. This book in particular deals with the question of lawful jurisdiction and taxation, or the nature of government argument. Adherents to this line of thinking believe the federal government has no jurisdiction to levy taxes upon citizens of the individual states. Proponents of this viewpoint believe that the claims of the federal tax revenuers are nothing more than de facto claims made by those who have overstepped their lawful constitutional authority. Followers of this view sometimes refer to themselves as State Sovereign Citizens. It should be noted that the wording State Sovereign Citizen does not appear in the Constitution. Irwin Schiff, the grand daddy of present day tax protestors, has written books allegedly showing the loopholes in the tax code. Followers of this approach just stop filing and paying income taxes because supposedly the IRS code says that it is voluntary. Schiffs latest book is The Federal Mafia-How it Illegally Imposes And Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes.4 Other arguments advanced by tax protestors deal with moral arguments used to justify not paying taxes. Some tax protest arguments may be properly classified as moronic. Protestors within this group, when in trouble with the tax court, plead ignorance of the law. There is considerable disagreement among tax protestors on the correct strategy of escaping the federal income tax. Many of the tax protest books and arguments leave the theoretical and actually suggest that their readers drop out of the tax system. This course of action is reckless, because courts and juries have on a consistent basis, excepting for clear cases of government abuse, ruled against tax protestors. In many cases tax protestors have gone to jail. It could be argued that the courts of today are rarely interpreting the Constitution's "original intent." Historically speaking, it could be argued that a de jure government would recognize the right use of law and rule according to the original intent of the framers of the Constitution. A strict constructionist may argue that constitutionally speaking, we have a de facto or a government without lawful constitutional authority. Historically and constitutionally our Constitution is a fixed document. The courts are charged with interpreting the Constitution. The court today is interpreting constitutional law with a different mindset or world view than at an earlier time in our history. This should not surprise us. All evidence is interpreted within the framework of a world view. The courts have ruled our present system to be de jure. Congress has put its stamp of approval on our current system. The nature of our constitutional republic has been changed. The majority of people believe our government is a democracy. There have been a number of amendments added to the Constitution that have inadvertently or otherwise subverted the original intent of the founders. The Supreme Court, for example, has in effect abrogated the Tenth Amendment with its interpretation of the Commerce and the General Welfare clauses in the Constitution. We should disagree with recent actions of the courts and take lawful steps to correct the situation. In addition, the general effect of the Fourteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments have been to empower the federal government at the expense of states rights. Do the Fourteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Amendments violate the intent of the founders? If so, then there is a real conflict between the original intent of the founding fathers and these amendments. It is this writers opinion that this is what has happened, and that these amendments should be repealed. Where do we go from here? How do we regain freedom? Repealing the Fourteenth Amendment would remove the federal government from interfering in the states business. Repealing the Sixteenth Amendment would de-fund the federal government. De-funding and de-centralizing the federal government is always a good strategy. Repealing the Seventeenth Amendment would return the job of appointing U.S. Senators to the state legislators, and out of the hands of the mob. The mob has discovered numerous ways to vote themselves handouts from the federal government. This is accomplished through their popularly elected representatives and senators who promise new and ever expanding entitlements to win votes. The whole system appears to be degenerating into a massive vote-buying scam. Unprincipled men will promise the electorate seemingly almost anything in exchange for votes. Relevant to the validity of Schiffs and the jurisdictional arguments mentioned above, the subsequent comments should be noted. The Sixteenth Amendment authorizes the uniform collection of taxes in the fifty states by the federal government. This amendment was properly ratified according to Thomas R. Eddlem, the research director for The New American magazine. 5 Eddlems article Patriot Beware! in which he defends this thesis should be required reading for those in the tax protest movement. Eddlem demolishes much of the mythology that is so prevalent today among tax protestors and the larger patriot community. There have been a number of challenges to the Sixteenth Amendment since its ratification in 1913. The Supreme Court and lower courts have consistently upheld the constitutionality of this amendment. See attorney James Lantings article A Memorandum Regarding Income Tax Protests for a survey of the major challenges to the Sixteenth Amendment.6 The lower courts, through case law and precedent, have solidified and strengthened the judicial standing of the Sixteenth Amendment. In addition, the federal courts have the authorization of our elected representatives. Congress approves the appointment of federal judges. They also approve funding for the courts and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This puts their stamp of approval on the courts, tax system, and collection agency (IRS). Does the present-day intrusion of the federal government into nearly every aspect of our lives and the accompanying all-time high tax rates represent freedom? Of course not! How do we repair the situation? Do we fight in the courts using arguments that are true but not recognized? This may be a necessary course of action. Are we financially prepared for this course of action? It should be remembered that "original intent" arguments are ridiculed and have been for all practical purposes thrown out of many present day constitutional debates. What is the reaction of the press or members of the Senate when asked to confirm the nomination of a judge who holds to original intent? Remember Clarence Thomas and Robert Bork? Our representatives are themselves the product of a dumbed down educational system. We must challenge the prevailing ignorance with serious biblical and constitutional arguments based upon sound research. Questions concerning the morality of high taxation are not new. There have been many times throughout history that taxes have reached oppressive levels. At the time of Christ, the Roman government ruled Palestine. It could have been argued, and it was, that God was the King of Israel and that the Roman government was a de facto tyranny. Consider the imposition of taxes in Israel during the bitter foreign occupation by the Roman government: The tax itself was looked upon as an inherent religious wrong, as well as civil imposition, and by many the payment of it was considered a sinful act of disloyalty to God.7 Alfred Edersheim in his book Sketches of Jewish Social Life in the days of Christ adds to this: But the Roman taxation, which bore upon Israel with such crushing weight, was quite of its own kind systematic, cruel, relentless, and utterly regardless.8 The modern individual does not comprehend or fathom the depravity of Rome. Taxes during this time in history were severe and arbitrarily collected, and went to support the following: 1. war, conquest, imperialism, destruction and devastation 2. incredible extravagance of the Roman authorities (from emperors to senators, to lesser procurators, magistrates, etc.) Tiberius supported a colony of 300 homosexual boys on the island of Capri for his indulgence; Nero married a homosexual in a public ceremony; others gambled away millions of dollars in one night; drunkenness, sexual immorality, assassination, waste was the rule rather than the exception. 3. building pagan temples and the support of an idolatrous priesthood (involving sexual perversion and demonology) 4. building huge, complex, expensive gladiatorial arenas and the payment of all expenses for games at which thousands of animals and humans were slaughtered [including Christians] 5. a large welfare "dole" in massive proportions that resulted in a huge class of citizens with nothing to do but mischief 6. foreign aid to keep in power "puppet" officials (like the Herods) who were brutal and corrupt 7. support of an empire that arbitrarily and without compassion enslaved large portions of nations and cultures it defeated in war (there were more slaves in first century Rome than free citizens).9 The old Roman Republic had long since been corrupted. Against this background of massive corruption and moral perversion, and by what could be argued was nothing more than a de facto imperial tyrannical government, Jesus said in Matt 22:19-21 regarding the hated Roman poll tax, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's. Jesus said this because according to the outworking of God's sovereign plan, the Roman government was a God ordained de jure government. Christ's people were to subject themselves to this very government. It should be noted that Caesar was a military dictator who had the approval of the mob, not a leader produced by a republican form of government. In addition, there was the cult of Caesar. Caesar was viewed as divine. Paying taxes was a form of submission to Caesar. The Roman government as shown above was far worse than the present U.S. government. Carl F. Henry has written in his book Aspects of Christian Social Ethics about the first three hundred years of Christianity in the Roman Empire: During the three hundred years when the Roman emperors
declared Christianity an illegal religion, Christians were
marked as criminals by civil law simply because they were
Christian. Against such government the Christian
movement generated no revolutionary temper, and to such a
government Christian believers pledged their prayers and paid their taxes.10 Christianity conquered the Roman Empire by the third century. A tax revolt or revolution did not accomplish this. The Christians followed Christs example in the area of taxation. This example should not be minimized. In Matthew 17:24-27 we read about Christs encounter with the Herodians and Pharisees concerning the temple tax. Surely, as Lord of the temple, Christ was immune from this tax. Yet, Jesus paid this tax. Christs actions have enormous implications for those who call Him Lord. If Jesus instructed His people to pay taxes to Rome, (Matt. 22:19-21) how much more should we be careful to obey present day laws? If Christ is our Lord we should follow His example. Romans 13:1-7 are verses dealing with the extent of the Christians duty to civil government. These passages deal with paying taxes and other important directives for Christians. They do not deal with every conceivable question concerning taxation, but nevertheless provide binding principles for the godly. Consider Robert Haldanes comments concerning the Christians obligation to pay taxes, Romans 13:7, to the higher powers or the powers that be in 13:1: It is here explicitly taught that taxes stand by the law of God on the same footing as private debts, which every man is therefore under an equal obligation to discharge.11 Many people today are not familiar with this concept of taxes and private debts having the same standing before the law of God. Noted reformed theologian, Charles Hodge, explains who the type of rulers are we owe these debts to in his commentary on this section of Scripture: It is clear that this passage [Ro. 13:1,2] is applicable to men living under every form of governmentit is the powers that be, the de facto government, that is to be regarded as, for the time being, ordained of God.12 End of part one Endnotes Part one 1.

The Sweet Side Of Hair Removal: Sugaring

By Kathy Hammond There are a number of hair removal methods available today. The most recent and modern is hair removal by laser treatments. But - Hair removal by laser treatments is also the most expensive of all hair removal methods and contrary to anything you may have heard or read in the past, laser treatments are not a form of permanent hair removal and do cause some unfortunate side effects, including scarring. As a laser hair removal alternative, many people have chosen to wax their hair from different parts of their bodies. But unfortunately for some, even though they prefer the process, waxing can cause unpleasant side effects as well. Sugaring is an alternative for people who have had unpleasant skin reactions such as redness or bumps with waxing hair removal. One of the oldest hair removal methods, sugaring originated in ancient Egypt and continues to be very popular in Middle Eastern countries. Although recent research reveals that females the world over practice sugaring as their chosen method of hair removal. The hair removal method of sugaring is most often used for legs, bikini lines, and eyebrows (to be done only by a professional), but it is suitable for any part of the body, including the genital area. Sugaring resembles the hair removal method of waxing, in that a warm mixture is slathered on the skin and then quickly removed, basically pulling hairs out by their roots. Sugaring is supposedly a less painful hair removal method than waxing ... Because the sugar paste adheres only to the hair, not the skin as with waxing. And because you roll it in your hands first, it can never scald the way a hot wax can. A mixture of sugar, lemon juice, and water, heated to form a syrup, sugaring is hypoallergenic and an ideal hair removal method for sensitive skin. But do test a small area first just to be sure you don't have an allergic reaction. Skin irritations are further reduced from sugaring hair removal because the sugar mixture wraps around the hairs and pulls them out by the roots leaving no stubble. You get super smooth skin. Regrowth is slow so this method of hair removal lasts a few weeks, which is comparable to how long laser treatments last and so makes it a good laser hair removal alternative. Today there are sugaring hair removal kits that have the proper proportions of sugar, lemon and water already combined. All you need to do is warm the sugaring mixture by placing it in hot water. When it becomes spreadable, simply apply it in the direction your hair grows, cover with cotton strips, allow it to cool and then pull the strips in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Or - You can make your own sugaring hair removal mixture. Good for 2 - 3 sessions, this recipe includes ten rounded tablespoons sugar, one half of a lemon squeezed, (taking care not to include any pulp), and 1 tablespoon water. Mix these all together in an old saucepan and stir until it's completely smooth. Stir constantly over the lowest heat. At first the sugar will become transparent and air bubbles will appear. Then the mixture will turn a golden brown and smell like caramel. Allow to bubble for about 10 minutes until much smaller air bubbles appear on the surface. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool a bit. If it looks and feels like syrup, allow to cool a little longer. When the substance no longer sticks to your fingers, it's ready. For the best results, the hairs should be short. Pull the skin that you're going to treat taut and spread the sugaring paste onto it in the direction the hair grows. Then pull it back in one stroke. Once the sugaring hair removal process is complete, you'll feel sticky from what you didn't remove with your hands. A hot shower will take care of this because the paste is water soluble and warm water will easily melt and wash it away. It's also a good idea to rinse the area with cold water to calm and tone the now agitated skin. Sugaring hair removal is efficient and easy to clean up afterward. But, regardless which type of application you choose to use, it can be quite time consuming and messy. If hair removal by sugaring doesn't sound like the laser hair removal alternative method for you, there are a number of other alternatives. Do some research and you're bound to discover a much more simple way to make hair removal sweet. Bodworx International presents laser hair removal alternative tips and the latest data for removing hair from your entire body.

Mulch Your Spring Bulbs In The Fall For A Beautiful Spring Display

By Michael J. McGroarty Flower bulbs need a good, long, winters sleep. Like some people we know, if they wake up before they are fully rested, they get kind of cranky, and then they dont bloom well at all. Actually what happens is during a mild winter, the soil stays too warm, and the bulbs begin to come out of dormancy early. They start to grow, and once the tips emerge above the soil line, they are subject to freezing if the temperatures dip back down below freezing. And thats usually what happens. After the bulbs have emerged, they freeze and then dont bloom at all, or if they do its a very sad display. Another reason this happens is because the bulbs are not planted deep enough. They may have been deep enough when you planted them, but as the soil goes through the freezing and thawing process, the bulbs can actually work their way up in the ground. One way to keep your flower bulbs sleeping longer, which will protect them from freezing, is to mulch the bed. In the fall just apply a 3-4 layer of well composted mulch. This layer of mulch will do a couple of things. It will maintain a higher moisture content in the soil, which is good, as long as the soil isnt too soggy. Well composted mulch also adds valuable organic matter to the planting bed. Organic matter makes a great natural fertilizer. A 3-4 layer of mulch also acts as an insulator. It will keep the soil from freezing for a while, which is good because you dont want the bulbs going through a series of short cycles of freezing and thawing. Then when the temperatures drop below freezing and stay there for a while, the soil does eventually freeze. Then the mulch actually works in reverse and keeps the soil from thawing out too early. Keeping it in a frozen state is actually good because the bulbs remain dormant for a longer period of time. When they finally do wake up it is spring time, and hopefully by the time they emerge from the ground the danger of a hard freeze is past and they will not be damaged. If you can keep them from freezing, they will flower beautifully. The extra organic matter will help to nourish the bulbs when they are done blooming, and the cycle starts all over again. We also plant annual flowers in the same beds with our spring bulbs. By the time the danger of frost is past and its time to plant the annuals, the top of the bulbs have died back and are ready to be removed. The mulch that is added in the fall also helps to nourish the annual flowers, as well as improve the soil permanently. Anytime you add well composted organic matter to your planting beds, you are bound to realize multiple benefits. The key words here are "well composted". Fresh material is not good.

Collecting Blood Stem Cells For Research

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Greg_White] Greg White Cord blood stem cells are human cells that have the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. The cells are in very early stages of development. Stem cells can turn into specialized cells such as liver cells, nerve cells, lung cells, etc. These cells can be taken from umbilical cord blood and grown outside the body in the laboratory. This allows scientists and researchers to study these cells isolated from other cells and in controlled conditions. Previously, research was done primarily using embryonic stem cells because these were known to work well. Using newer and advanced research techniques scientists have found that collecting umbilical blood stem cells work just as well and in some cases even better. There is a huge supply of stem cells that can be tapped into because there are blood stem cells as a byproduct with every birth. Even more encouraging is that the cells are not taken from embryos, a previous concern and cause for continued debate. Scientists are excited about the possibilities for curing and treating many various diseases in the future using blood stem cells. Already the results for recent research show encouraging results. Scientists have been able to grow a mini-liver in the lab using cord blood stem cells and are hopeful that in the future they may be able to develop an entire organ that would be available for transplant. While much additional research is needed, the future of collecting blood stem cells looks very promising. Cord blood stem cell banks are now available that collect and store stem cells so that they are available for later use. Parents must sign up for a stem cell bank before giving birth. Notification is given to the doctor and hospital so that the cord blood will be collected and sent to the bank. The bank then tests the blood and records a count of stem cells available. The blood is then packaged, sealed and stored in special cryogenically frozen areas for future use. Currently most hospitals are not equipped to save umbilical cord blood unless they are given previous notice. Hopefully this will change in the future to encourage more people to store or donate stem cells by allowing them to make an instant choice at birth. Using ones own stem cells for future transplants reduces the risk that the body will reject the organs or tissues because the DNA is an exact match. Even siblings and other family members will be able to take advantage of the stem cell bank if needed. Author:

Seven Steps to Writing a Stellar Personal Statement

By Amber C. Smith Your graduate school personal statement is what will help the school get to know a little more about you. Before allowing someone into a university or a program, a school wants to know who they are, what they plan to do with the degree, and whether they will be a good addition to the school. Writing this statement is one of the most important things you'll do during the application process, so let's make sure you get it right. Start Early The first thing you need to do to write a successful graduate school personal statement is start early. Don't wait until the week or night before the essay is due. Start several weeks early, outlining and drafting your essay. Many people like to start with an outline that helps them see how they are answering the question. Organize Make sure that you have a well-organized personal statement. The order should make sense to the reader, and the series of events or the break up of topics should be easy to follow. Often a basic outline can help you see where there are problems so that you can fix them early. Be Specific I had a teacher in high school who would write B.S. all over our papers for Be Specific! I guess it works both ways. Be sure that you are being very specific in your personal statement. General information does not have the same impact as a story or specific example. Make Sure You Answer the Question As you write, be sure that you read the question often. Be sure to answer the question. Don't answer other questions or get off topic - just answer the question! This is the spot where most people get lost as they want to include miscellaneous information that really doesn't apply to the question. Get a Second, Third, or Fourth Opinion Make sure that you let other people read your essay as well. They should be honest, objective readers who can help you determine where you need to make changes. You'll have a much better paper if you get other people's opinions on it. Then, you'll need to rewrite it to reflect the changes needed to make it the best personal statement possible. Proofread Before sending it in, make sure you thoroughly proofread the paper. Ask a friend who is good at grammar and spelling or an old teacher to help you. They are usually happy to look over your paper and tell you where you need to make changes. You want to show that you are attentive to details so don't overlook this step. Send It In You're finally ready to send in your essay. You've slaved away over it for a while, but you know it's as close to perfect as possible. If you're lucky, though, two schools will use the same or similar questions so that you can use the same essay or simply rewrite it a little.
