monica calhoun : and , also how they approach work & their reasons behind working & what they do ! ! its like , you know people go to school to become lawyers and doctors & so forth . . . . . there are
other
professions . those , to be specific . . . they go to school for those things & theyre trained in those areas & when youre trained to know and understand the difference between . . . . . . . what your boundaries are & also set your own boundaries , you wont have problems separating

monica calhoun : you know what i noticed ? when we were working , that anger was still there . you carried a lot of the anger that i slept with your best friend , and so it was difficult trying to chip away at that wall that gets you to balance it out . you made me work for your warmth . you made me work for wanting to be friendly around everyone for the holidays . i saw that tension and the emotion that you are talking about , pulling and driving for what was to come a little bit later on . there’s so many things that we all go through in our lives that are pulled from that .
carroll adds :
nora is half - mexican and proud of it . that ' s one of the reasons she got so hot . and she and betsy wynn were driving away from the calhoun home before rory slipped and put his arm through the glass on the front door .

columnist mike connolly tells that
corinne calvet went to stanley kramer and urged him to sign lita baron , rory calhoun ' s spouse , for the role of the spanish girl in the pride and the passion , with cary grant and frank sinatra , and kramer may just do it . . .
monica calhoun : details ! ! actors that pay attention to details . wonderful , and directors that pay attention to an actors details . and know and understand that whatever it is that that actor is doing is not necessarily . . they can see and directors or photography they can see what an actor is doing and go , you know what we need to push in and pull in with this because theres going on behind her eyes . theres something that shes doing that really drives the point home . and then an editor that can pick up exactly what her intention was and then edit the scene so where it it tells a complete story . thats priceless filmmaking . robert deniro , jack nicholson ? ? ? ?
calhoun co - starred with actor flex alexander in the short - lived series , where i live , and appeared in pacific station . she appeared in several sitcoms including bagdad cafe ( tv series - starring role ) , the wayans bros . , a different world and the jamie foxx show . her film work includes portraying the cousin of actress lisaraye in ice cube ' s directorial debut the players club ; the best man ; love & basketball and 2007 ' s the salon with vivica fox . in 2009 robert townsend directed calhoun in diary of a single mom , season i , ii and iii ( 2008–10 ) .
monica calhoun : and , even still , ya know ? cause as human beings were always still growing & learning about ourselves in life lessons . my background , specifically , my childhood [ to a certain degree ] , i was sheltered from a lot of things and thats why sometimes its easy for people to kind of take advantage of a situation . . or a thought process or believe that i dont necessarily know much , about some things . but , eventually because of how i grew up , i understand & have known the difference between right and wrong , & its up to me whether
i
want to explore . . . . wrong . . . . and if
i
want to explore right .
calhoun ' s father , willie sr . , a corrections officer at the prison , agreed to take his son on a tour . willie had long been interested in the place . he thought maybe a career in law enforcement was his best option . his father agreed to the tour , but with other unspoken intentions .

i wanted him to see the uglier side of life and what that had to offer ,
willie calhoun sr . said this week .
i wanted him to hear what they ' d do for another chance . i wanted him to keep pushing . you can always get a job , but i didn ' t want him to give up on his dream .
calhoun : the script spoke to me too because you’ve got to think about it . the college friends that met in college have stayed friends , and to see them years later and how their lives have developed i thought would be very interesting . also , mia’s and lance’s journey and what they were going through , i thought that would be interesting and challenging for me as an actress .
monica calhoun completely disappears into any role she’s graced the screen to play . in movies like the players club , the best man and the webseries diary of a single mom , the character actress regularly wows critics and audiences . here , urltoken chats with her about the best man holiday , which hits blu - ray and dvd on february 11 , and much more . your character mia’s storyline in the best man holiday is heartbreaking . what did you think of her story when you got the script ? i welcomed the challenge as an actress . to go to that place of life and death and internal struggle and wanting to make everything perfect so life could begin the healing and forgiveness process . i welcomed that challenge to pull everything together to be that matriarch , the head of the house , that strong female character . even in her strength and her weakness mia still maintained and was strong for everyone .
chestnut : i remember when we were in rehearsals and we were going through it , because we rehearsed before we went to toronto , and it’s more of the same . she and i had to deal with a lot of stuff in this movie and we really have to take ourselves there . it actually started in rehearsals , and just revisiting that piece of it all . just the way monica is and what she says and the way she looks at me , it really affects me throughout rehearsals and throughout the scenes .
from the time he got his first big break on the television series moesha , white has been on an upward trajectory , fortunate to play diverse roles in both television and film , including notable characters in scandal , mistresses , the family stone , and chicago fire . currently , he stars in bob johnson’s urban movie channel’s no regrets , which he produced , appearing opposite monica calhoun , loretta devine , sharon leal , jackie christie , amin joseph , and others . he also has two upcoming movies : amateur , a netflix mandalay theatrical production that will be released in theaters this spring and co - stars sharon leal , michael rainey , jr . , and josh charles . the second movie , the lift , is a dramatic thriller that he produced with damon dash and co - stars claudia jordan and columbus short . this summer , white makes his debut on season 5 of showtime’s ray donovan , along with regular cast member pooch hall and others .
monica calhoun : thats why its really important for black people african american people that have money to understand the power of distribution . distribution in terms of owning a theater in ohio , a movie theater in arizona . that way when a fairly decent film that has been made without the hands of the studio with the independent , have gone through the independent process , they have some place to showcase their film . and the next step is just promoting that film . whatever grassroots promoting that can be done in order for people to know that that film exists then somehow the money and go and recycle back into the community and not only that , we must understand its another way of opening up who we are as a people and the different levels of who we are . i like to laugh just as much as the next person , but , i also like to cry and i like to think . and thats what attracts me to acting and also singing .
monica calhoun : but , he had this class and i was more interested in what he had to say on the business end than the acting class ; not being arrogant and saying , oh i know everything i need to know about acting but , it was more less it was fascinating the way he structured the class . . . . . . he invited different people in from the industry ; people that handled financing , people that were on the publicity end , agents , directors , and producers and gave them the floor and allowed them to speak on their experiences and how they entered hollywood and where they see hollywood going and what is it that we need to do to look for in hollywood for us and how to go about getting our or carving our path or map . and basically those different kinds of people that he pulled in it showed you what you needed to really pay attention to . and it reiterated that phrase that you always hear ; its not show business , its the business of show .
in a paternity suit filed in los angeles , her husband is named father of a girl , nathena , born on january 26 , 1959 , to starlet and tv actress vitina marcus . 26 - year - old marcus retains the right to ask support for the child later . the suit will be settled for an undisclosed sum in april 1966 , calhoun still denying being the father . the settlement figure is rumored to be $ 5 , 000 .

columnist harrison carroll tells about a big , new feud raging between her and nora haymes :
the girls had a terrific verbal set at the calhoun home . and the evening had started in such a disarming fashion . nora and betsy wynn , on invitation , dropped over to the calhouns . nora made some remark about lita being mexican and lita insisted she was spanish . from there , things really began popping . the names lita called her two guests can ' t be printed here .
throughout the years , there have been marriages , children and divorces – not to mention all the love and heartbreak that accompany a life well lived – but the group has not been able to manage a proper get - together since lance ( chestnut ) and mia’s ( calhoun ) wedding . but that’s all about to be remedied . when the college friends finally reunite over the christmas holidays , they will discover just how easy it is for long - forgotten rivalries and passionate romances to be reignited .
it was the best of times ( the best man ) , it was the worst of times ( the best man holiday ) … it was the epoch of belief ( morris chestnut ’s lance ) , it was the epoch of incredulity ( taye diggs ’ harper ) , it was the season of light ( chestnut breaking the all time rushing record ) , it was the season of darkness ( his wife mia dying three days later ) , it was the spring of hope ( a baby being born the following spring ) , it was the winter of despair ( again mia ( monica calhoun ) is dying for the entirety of the movie ) , we had everything before us ( the best man when these characters were still young and full of hope ) , we had nothing before us ( the best man holiday where all their life plans have epic failed ) , we were all going direct to heaven ( obvi ) , we were all going direct the other way — in short , the period was so far like the present period , that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received , for good or for evil , in the superlative degree of comparison only ( movie critics ) .
beverly hills , calif . ( ap ) — back in 2012 , while filming
the best man holiday ,
morris chestnut and nia long became increasingly nostalgic . it had been 14 years since the release of malcolm d . lee ' s 1999 hit ,
the best man ,
and 21 years since the actors were first - time co - stars in john singleton ' s street - life classic
boyz n the hood .
there was a moment when we were shooting in a limo and nia looked at me and said , ' you are a man now ! '
recalled chestnut with a chuckle during a recent interview .
we are in such different places in our lives and careers now . we ' re fortunate to still be here .
chestnut , long and the entire original cast of
the best man
— taye diggs , terrence howard , sanaa lathan , harold perrineau , regina hall , monica calhoun and melissa de sousa — return in the christmas - themed

reunion . . .
it was december of 2014 . calhoun had just been academically dismissed from the university of arizona and its baseball team . he had stopped going to classes regularly after struggling to deal with the death of his grandmother , to whom he was close . he thought maybe all the disparaging comments he ' d heard about himself as a player - that he was too small , too slow and without a position - were perhaps accurate . he thought there weren ' t a lot of attractive options for him . it was one of life ' s tipping - point moments .
and all the while his paternal grandmother was in the final stages of a five - year long fight with cancer . to understand the full depth of this , you must understand how close the calhoun family is . when his brother - in - law became paralyzed , willie sr . , invited him to live with his family . teenage willie jr . often took care of his uncle . willie sr . also adopted his niece . the first tattoo willie jr . ever got was the name of his younger sister , jayden , across his chest above his heart .
calhoun : it’s really difficult for me to answer that question , because the past 20 something odd years , i’ve had a roller coaster effect . i’ve worked in the industry on several different levels , so the proudest moment i could say… i got several because each experience is different , but i will solidify this film as one of the proudest moments , because to go from knowing these folks when we were just basically kids and now we are grown and we’re able to have… well , i’m still working on having grown up conversations ( laughs ) and i’m still working on creating a different sort of family life as opposed to the family life that i have right now . you have to hook me up with the traditions and a good handsome friend .
chestnut : it was very difficult . with this particular movie , it’s 14 years later and the character still needs to be playing football , so it was really challenging for me physically to have to be in great shape . then malcolm said that he wanted me to take my shirt off , and there were a couple of other explicit scenes that we didn’t get to shoot . so it was tough for me emotionally and physically because i really couldn’t eat . i lost a lot of weight for that movie just because i still had to portray the football player who is still in shape . but fortunately , malcolm gave me enough in this movie to where i could convey how far i feel that i’ve come , and i’m still growing as an actor in a lot of those scenes . it was really challenging . even when i first read the script , i said , “oh man . he’s really emotional and there are so many emotional things . ” it’s really hard to do that in an ensemble movie because you’re there and everybody’s talking about , “yeah we had a good time last night , and tonight were going to the club” and all that stuff , and i had to be over in my little corner just kind of focusing on what i needed to do to get to that place . but monica and i were there together so i think it worked .

as with leasing rates , the cost of hunting ground varies widely depending on location and the perceived quality of the property . typically , the price is determined on a per - acre basis . if shopping , check around for land prices in your area , keeping in mind the location and layout . fifty acres of prime , tillable farm land may cost significantly more than 100 acres of clear - cut thicket , for example ( even though the clear - cut thicket may provide better hunting ) . increasingly , the hunting value is being considered in the overall per - acre cost of land in many areas .

verses 13 and 14 give the conclusion toward which the evidence led asaph . if god is not blessing the righteous and cursing the wicked , the very thing promised in the old testament law ( deut . 27–28 ) , then what was the good of being righteous ? the cost of remaining pure was exceedingly high and the rewards for which asaph had looked went to the wicked instead . righteousness seemingly was not rewarded but punished . such religion certainly appeared to be vain . it looked contradictory to both god’s covenant and common sense .
124 there are two major ways of interpreting verses 10 - 14 . the first is to understand that it is the followers of the wicked who are speaking in verses 10 - 14 . they come to the conclusion of verse 11 ( how can god know ? ) and they justify it on the basis of their observations of the wicked , which are expressed in verses 12 - 13 . the wicked , they conclude , are getting away with it , and even prospering in their sin . they decide that godliness is in vain , and that god really doesn’t care ( vv . 13 - 14 , v . 11 ) . like those addressed in the book of hebrews , it would seem that they considered the cost of obedience too high , and have determined to give up . “if you can’t beat ‘em , join ‘em . ” the psalmist speaks for himself , then , only in verse 15 . he considered joining his peers in abandoning his faith , but decided against it .

but , of course , nolan didn’t set out to present history the way scholars do it . historians’ careers rest on perfect accuracy , and nuance and complication are prized—even at the high cost of turning away nonprofessional readers . so , nolan makes choices in assembling , and sometimes inventing , his facts that academics would not . let’s look at these choices made in the name of dramatizing experience and check them against the evidence as embodied by eyewitness accounts and documentary sources .

many of the social developments that improve longevity—better sanitation , less pollution , improved emergency rooms—are provided to all on an egalitarian basis . but today’s public high schools are dreadful in many inner - city areas , and broadly across states including california . legislatures are cutting support for public universities , while the cost of higher education rises faster than inflation . these issues are discussed in terms of fairness ; perhaps health should be added as a concern in the debate . if education is the trump card of longevity , the top quintile may pull away from the rest .
scouting is the foundation to consistent deer hunting success . whether you’re hunting a small 10 - acre patch of urban timber or larger expanses of farmland , the effort you assert in understanding your property and how the deer use it will largely determine the outcome of your season .
for years , the american social trend has been away from “constant interaction with other people”—fewer two - parent homes , fewer children per home , declining participation in religious and community activities , grandparents living on their own , electronic interaction replacing the face - to - face in everything from work to dating . prosperity is associated with smaller households , yet the large multigeneration home may be best for long life . there are some indications that the great recession increased multigeneration living . this may turn out to boost longevity , at least for a time .

after toiling in the workplace for decades , it seems only natural to expect financial security in our golden years . but few of us can look forward to a cushy retirement . according to the employee benefit research institute’s 2017 retirement confidence survey , six in 10 workers reported feeling at least somewhat confident that they’ll have adequate finances to retire comfortably , but only 18 percent reported a high level of confidence . nearly four in 10 , in fact , have little or no retirement savings whatsoever . many are even worried about covering basic living expenses once they leave the workforce .
the best answer to the question of how much to replace in retirement is , “how much income do you want to have ? ” when an individual or couple is closer to retirement ( say , 5 - 10 years ) , they have a very good idea of what their actual expenses are , or will be in retirement . then you can add in specific expenses , such as vacation , health care costs , to customize a savings plan based on the actual income goals .

the first step in hunting the rut is determining exactly what phase of the rut you ' re dealing with . not all does will be ready to breed at the same time . and this will definitely impact how the bucks you ' re hunting behave .
a biblical faith does not require nor permit us to deny any of the attributes of god . we maintain not only that god exists , but also that he is good and great , a rewarder of the righteous and a judge of the wicked . how , then , do we explain the problem of the suffering of the saints and the success of sinners ? the psalmist takes us through the steps of his personal struggle in verses 2 - 28 , from the low point of his doubts and protest to the pinnacle of his renewed devotion and praise .
quality optics are essential for deer hunting , and there are three primary types to consider : binoculars , spotting scopes and rangefinders . although not all of them are necessary in every hunting situation , each is useful enough to justify owning them all . in the past , deer hunters were forced to choose between cheap optics that were often junk , or high - quality glass that cost a small fortune . today , there are numerous middle - of - the - road binoculars , rangefinders and spotting scopes that will do the job effectively , but at reasonable prices .

this hobson ' s choice is imposing a high cost on both individuals and society . many professional women reject motherhood entirely ; in switzerland 40 % of them are childless . others delay child - bearing for so long that they are forced into the arms of the booming fertility industry . some choose not to work at all , representing a loss to collective investment in talent . but a choice must be made . a study of graduates of the university of chicago ' s booth school of business by marianne bertrand and her colleagues found that , ten to 16 years after graduating , just over half of those who had chosen to have children were working full - time . about a quarter were working part - time and just under a quarter had left the labour force . it also leaves many former high - flyers frustrated . another american study , this time of women who left work to have children , found that all but 7 % of them wanted to return to work . only 74 % managed to return , and just 40 % returned to full - time jobs .
the high places were hills where the canaanites set up altars and shrines to worship baal . the hebrews did not at first set up these shrines as blatant idolatry . rather , they looked at the way the pagans worshiped and said , “hey , that’s a good idea - - let’s bring that into our worship of yahweh . ” and so true worship was subtly polluted with worldly religion . you can readily see how this is a danger in our day .
( 1 ) obedience to god’s word . “ [ asa ] commanded judah to seek the lord god of their fathers and to observe the law and commandment” ( 2 chron . 14 : 4 ; see 15 : 3 , 4 ) . there is no such thing as revival among god’s people without a return to his word as the basis for life and conduct . in fact it’s safe to say that your spiritual health today is in direct proportion to how well you understand and obey the word of god . please note that i did not say just “how well you understand the word , ” but rather , “how well you understand and obey , ” because knowledge without obedience leads to delusion ( james 1 : 22 ) .
the single best yardstick for measuring a person’s likely life span is education . john rowe , a health - policy professor at columbia university and a former ceo of aetna , says , “if someone walked into my office and asked me to predict how long he would live , i would ask two things : what is your age , and how many years of education did you receive ? ”
people underestimate inflation ( rising prices of goods and services , especially health care costs ) . if they see they have income from social security and a pension plan , combined with a small investment portfolio , and it appears these sources will provide an income to cover their current expenses , this may provide a false sense of security about the success of retiring early . however , pensions and social security have little or no adequate cost of living adjustments , so retirees see themselves losing purchasing power and growing “poorer” each year . the additional investment portfolio must be adequate to cover expenses plus inflation adjustments on the income from the pension and social security .
the faithfulness of god in the midst of present trials is further evidence of god’s faithfulness in the future . this is what paul spoke of in the fifth chapter of his epistle to the romans : “
the expansion of higher education has also boosted job prospects for women , improving their value on the job market and shifting their role models from stay - at - home mothers to successful professional women . the best - educated women have always been more likely than other women to work , even after having children . in 1963 , 62 % of college - educated women in the united states were in the labour force , compared with 46 % of those with a high school diploma . today 80 % of american women with a college education are in the labour force compared with 67 % of those with a high school diploma and 47 % of those without one .

true , a guided deer hunt for a trophy buck on select ground can cost a small fortune . but joe hunter can also take a vacation day from work , grab his rifle and head to the wildlife management area down the road with reasonable hopes of returning home with a deer in his truck .
the good news is , even a small - time manager can improve his or her hunting with the addition of food plots , and good plots can be established with minimal equipment . it’s simply a matter of how hard you’re willing to work on them .
the framers would be aghast at the idea of a small cadre of unelected potentates lording it over the body politic for decades . when the constitution was written , no one could have anticipated how much life span would increase , nor how much power the supreme court would accrue . if democracy is to remain vibrant as society ages , campaign laws must change to help challengers stand a chance versus incumbents , and the constitution must be amended to impose a term limit on the supreme court , so confirmation as a justice stops being a lifetime appointment to royalty .
if you really want to get a look at the bucks in your area as the rut is closing in , it ' s hard to beat putting a camera over an active scrap . in fact , i ' ve had moderate success creating my own mock scrapes using nothing more than a sharp stick , an overhanging branch and a little pee ( deer or human , seems not to matter ) .
as longevity increases , so too does the number of living grandparents . families that once might have had one “oldest old” relative find themselves with three or four , all expecting care or money . at the same time , traditional family trees are being replaced with diagrams that resemble maps of the london underground . will children of blended families feel the same obligation to care for aging stepparents as they feel for biological parents ? just the entry of the phrase birth parent into the national lexicon suggests the magnitude of the change .
the question , “how can a good god allow the righteous to suffer ? ” reveals several fallacies in our thinking . the first is the assumption that suffering is always evil and therefore irreconcilable with god’s goodness . the second is a failure to understand righteousness , so far as it relates to the saint , the true child of god . in answer to the problem of pain , this psalm forces us to take another look at our definition of good , lest we accuse god of being the author of evil by allowing us to suffer . let those who suffer look to this psalm for a word of instruction .
a pastor’s wife reported that she was on a search for such easy answers one morning as she sat with thousands of others to listen to a retired missionary , a spiritual veteran near 80 . but what she heard was not an easy answer . rather , it was a profound principle stated as a metaphor which influenced her inner life with god from that moment on . she heard the old man quietly say , “untended fires soon die and become just a pile of ashes” ( gail macdonald , high call , high privilege , pp . 17 - 18 , quoted in partnership , jan . / feb . , 1984 , p . 51 . ) maintaining the fire within - - reality with the living god - - requires constant attention . though it was blazing yesterday , neglect it today and it will die .

what financial factors should retirees take into consideration when deciding where to retire ? the cost for housing , nursing home , property tax , insurance , and general labor cost in the local market . what are some tips for living on a fixed income in retirement ? you need to cut expenses and spend the money wisely . downsize to a small home . try to take advantage of senior discounts . make reasonable budgets , based on the fixed income . what is the biggest mistake that people make when planning their retirements ? people tend to procrastinate and make their retirement planning too late . people should make retirement planning as soon as they start their first job . what percentage of income should you aim to replace in retirement ? the general rule is 70 - 80 % . in planning for retirement , what life expectancy should the average person use to make sure they have saved enough ? 85 for women , and 80 for men . should attracting more retirees be a priority for local government and if yes what should they do ? it really depends on which local government we are talking about . for areas lack of other business opportunities , senior living can become a revenue center . with more retirees coming to the town , their spending can generate many job opportunities for the local economy . in the meantime , retirees do not add any burden to local school systems , which is a usually a big ticket item for the local government .
at the outset of his struggle asaph assumed that affliction was inappropriate for the righteous . furthermore he believed that adversity was evil . if the consequence of sin is judgment and suffering , then how could adversity possibly have a beneficial effect in the life of the saint ? the success of sinners and the suffering of saints was a problem too great for the mind of the psalmist to grasp ; but when he worshipped god , asaph came to understand the blessing adversity had been in his life . on the other hand he was able to see that affluence had been detrimental to the wicked .
most leasing agreements are arranged on a dollars - per - acre basis . the rates per acre vary widely across the country . the perceived quality of an area’s deer hunting combined with area hunter demand and the quality of the actual dirt at stake determine the rate . prime farm country in the heart of southern illinois , a region known nationwide for producing big bucks , is probably going to cost more to lease than a heavily wooded west virginia hillside , for example .
corn poured straight onto the ground , or into a feed - on - demand “gravity feeder” – learn how to make one – is the better bet to start drawing in deer fast , especially older bucks . deer will often find a corn pile overnight if it’s established in a high - traffic area , and will continue to visit it even a day or two after the last kernels are consumed . a corn pile on the ground is one of the quickest , deadliest ways to get your deer on a small tract of ground that otherwise lacks top food sources . it’s especially effective early and late in the season .
i’m not sure how surprised i should be how sexual this movie is . there are many , many sex jokes that seem to be more there because they can get away with it than anything . some of them are related to the plot ( a few times prostitution is suggested ) , but most of the time it seems to just be testing the waters . also , for once the gratuitous breasts are in a pg movie , though if pg - 13 had existed at the time , this definitely would have gotten that rating .
oregon , 1980 : jane , elaine and louise are all feeling the effects of inflation and cannot afford , as the title states , the high cost of living . jane cannot afford a babysitter or get married and if she wants privacy with her boyfriend , she has to sleep in the car . even worse , her war veteran father comes to live with her to turn her life upside down . louise lives a happy life with her veterinarian husband , albert . she runs an antique shop on the side , but since it doesn ' t take in any profit , the irs considers it a hobby . she needs to come up with the money to keep it going , or she will be trouble with the irs . elaine ' s husband has left her for another woman and without any money . she is in a constant struggle with banks , power companies , and gas stations . she needs money to get by and also catches the eye of police officer jack . the local mall is having a contest that features a giant money ball that states it will help fight the inflation . elaine comes up with a plan to steal the . . .
yes , the american hunter’s love for deer hunting – whitetail deer hunting in particular – has fueled an economic engine that’s kept companies like realtree going over the years . and that’s largely why we’ve compiled this “how to deer hunt” guide . you may be a grown woman , embarking on your first ever hunting season , with no clue how to begin . or you might’ve started hunting back when “just seeing a deer track was something to talk about . ”
droppings . this is easy enough to figure out . the freshness and amount of them will give you a clue to the number of deer living in a particular area . the size of the dropping tells a lot about the size of the deer that left them . large clumps indicate that a large deer is in the area , and because mature bucks often defecate as soon as they leave their beds , near a thicket will give you an idea where they might be bedded and the direction they are traveling from their bed .
( 3 ) the theology reflected in verse 11 is not one that is pagan in origin , but it is decidedly that of an israelite . when would a pagan refer to only one god , as opposed to many gods ? it was israel’s god who was known as “god” and the “most high” ( v . 11 ) .
you have longer to cover your own health insurance . medicare is not available for individuals until age 65 , even though you could draw social security as early as age 62 ( 60 if you are a widow or widower ) . if you leave employment , lose your health insurance and expect to cover that cost on your own , you will significantly deplete your retirement savings on that cost alone . depending on what happens with health care , working for an employer that provides health insurance , even for a few more years , might be your best option for retirement .
the seeking and chasing phase is the ideal time to employ calling tactics , particularly during the early stages of the phase . with competition for available does high , bucks are far more willing to respond to calling and rattling . grunt calls mixed with doe bleats can be dynamite . antler rattling simulates a fight between bucks over a hot doe , and can draw in bucks from long distances .
across the country yesterday , hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in small towns and big cities to march and voice their opposition to the trump administration’s immigration policies .
if trail cameras have had the greatest impact on how we hunt over the past decade , the transformation of the modern compound bow probably ranks a close second if you ' re a bowhunter . today ' s compound bows are far more efficient , accurate and full of features than those of just a few years ago .
“seeking the lord” is a major theme in these chapters ( and in all of 1 & 2 chron . ; see 14 : 4 , 7 ; 15 : 2 , 4 , 12 , 13 , 15 ; 16 : 12 ) . the hebrew word literally means to trample under foot ; the picture is that of frequenting a place so often that you “beat a path” there . the verb has the nuance of seeking with care and of inquiring after knowledge , insight , or advice on a problem . so the idea is carefully to pursue the lord as the source of all wisdom and holiness . from chapters 14 and 15 we can see five strands of what it means to seek the lord :
how to hunt : the best tactics for hunting these post - rut deer are of the low - impact variety . scout food sources from afar before making a plan to hunt them . as in the early season , your best chance of taking a deer off a food source in the post - rut period is the first time you hunt the location . so make it count .
to continue with this theme of “time and interest , ” many individuals are intimidated by investments , and either avoid them or invest too conservatively , thereby not getting a high enough rate of “interest . ” this eliminates or reduces the second advantage of interest . many retirement plans now offer an age - based investment option . pick one that fits your age and seek the help of an investment advisor .
the key to successfully hunting public lands is to determine from the outset what you’re after . of course , whitetails have to live in the area . that’s a prerequisite regardless . but if you’re specifically looking to tag a big , old buck , you are usually going to seek out areas that are more remote and difficult to access . but if you simply want to spend a few days in the woods and have a reasonable expectation of killing a deer , you usually have more options . here’s how to narrow things down .
the sufferings of the psalmist were not god’s hand of judgment , as asaph had too hastily concluded , but his loving hand , a course in god’s school of suffering . he did not intend to drive asaph away , but to draw him to himself . in all of his trials god never left his side . he was guiding and guarding him throughout his ordeal . asaph’s experience of god’s care in the present brought assurance of his continued care and fellowship in the future , no matter how limited his understanding of this might be .
this was the policy of high - ranking officers on the spot , not because they were trying to be cruel but for three reasons : hope for france was essentially lost , the french military in the area was in such disarray that its policy about evacuation was unknown , and the ships evacuating men were british . churchill was strongly in favor of taking the french off the beaches to encourage france to keep fighting . some french officers made the heroic decision that they would not retreat and would cover their allies’ escape to fight another day .
don ' t hang them too high . remember , deer aren ' t as tall as most humans . try to aim the camera at your waist from a distance of about seven yards . this should get most deer . if you have the camera set over a mineral site , aim the camera on a downward angle by wedging a stick behind the camera .
the good news is , even a small - time manager can improve his or her hunting with the addition of food plots , and good plots can be established with minimal equipment . it’s simply a matter of how hard you’re willing to work on them . here’s a look at the general types of food plots , and who should consider planting them .

i have chosen to title the theme of verses 13 and 14 in such a way as to emphasize a very important fact . the thoughts with which the psalmist toyed for a time were never shared until after he had seen how sinful they were . to put it more bluntly , asaph knew when to keep quiet . he did not share the soul - stretching questions of his heart until after he had found the answer to them . how often , in the name of honesty ( or , more piously , a “prayer request” ) we share unsettling questions and problems , only to create difficulties for others . i am deeply impressed with the honesty of the psalmist on the one hand and his sense of discretion on the other . when the confession of his sins could aid his fellow - saints , he did so , but when this would only tempt others , he agonized alone , until he had the answer he sought .
psalm 73 divides nearly evenly into two parts . verses 1 - 15 depict the trial of the psalmist’s faith when he observes the blessing of the wicked . verses 16 - 28 describe the triumph of asaph’s faith , when he turns from protest to praise , from doubt to the declaration of the goodness of god .
in my opinion , the american church has gone crazy with methods , but we’re anemic when it comes to trusting in the living god . i have to be careful preparing a sermon every week . it’s easy to use a method rather than to seek the lord and call upon him to anoint his word . it’s possible to have a good method for a quiet time or for witnessing or church growth , and subtly to fall prey to trusting the method rather than in god himself . learn from asa : build your army , but don’t trust it ; acknowledge your own weakness and trust in the lord .
when it comes to selecting the right pack , size should be your first concern . with the gear most whitetail hunters carry , having a pack that offers at least 1 , 200 cubic inches of pack space is a must ; if you’re one who tends to be gear heavy , packs of up to 2 , 000 cubic inches are even better . when you start piling in water , food , rainwear , jacket , rattling antlers , calls , camera , flashlight and all the other odds and ends we haul to the woods , the right pack with enough small pockets that allow you to organize and retrieve gear with as little movement as possible can be a plus while on stand . skip the cheap ones , too . for just a few extra bucks you can get a high - quality , comfortable pack that will last season after season . there are tons of pack options available today , but for overall quality it’s hard to beat what tenzing , alps , badlands and easton have to offer .

scope . a budget deer rifle can still provide a lifetime of outstanding performance . but your scope is very much a get - what - you - pay - for piece of equipment . the advice outlined by brian strickland about binoculars in the optics section above goes doubly true for scopes . you don’t have to take out a second mortgage , but understand that it’s common for a good rifle scope to cost as much as the rifle you’re pairing it with .

i’ve known people who emphasize bible knowledge , but they don’t allow the word to confront their sin . invariably , they’re arrogant and not growing in godliness . on the other hand , i’ve known christians whose lives had all sorts of problems because they didn’t even know what the bible says about how we are to live as god’s people . they were disobedient out of ignorance .
the wealthy were not only wicked , they were also popular and prominent . they had little trouble gathering a large following , which was yet another source of the psalmist’s distress . verses 10 and 11 are difficult to interpret , consequently there is disagreement among bible students as to exactly what is said . while the specifics of the expressions used here may be uncertain , the overall activity is clear and , i think , a matter of general agreement . 123 the wicked who prospered gathered others about themselves who had also tasted the “good life” ( they had “drunk waters in abundance , ” v . 10 ) and wished to imitate the wicked both in principle and practice . thus , they went so far as to say , “how can god know ? does the most high have knowledge ? ” ( v . 11 ) . 124
lock - on stands are the most common and simplest available today , and for the hunter on a budget , the most affordable as well . they secure to the tree with high - strength belts or chains and must be hauled into place with the use of screw - in tree steps or some type of climbing stick system . ideally , you want to hang the stand at least 12 to 20 feet from the ground and in a tree that offers a trunk that is at least 12 to 16 inches in diameter . this not only provides good cover to keep you hidden , but trees that size or larger sway less in strong winds and are obviously stronger . a relatively straight tree is ideal ; however , many hang - ons offer adjustable platforms and seats that provide the ability to use them in crooked trees . to learn how to hang a lock - on stand , watch this video .
but the story might have a happy ending . if medical interventions to slow aging result in added years of reasonable fitness , life might extend in a sanguine manner , with most men and women living longer in good vigor , and also working longer , keeping pension and health - care subsidies under control . indeed , the most - exciting work being done in longevity science concerns making the later years vibrant , as opposed to simply adding time at the end .

10 therefore his people return to this place ; and waters of abundance are drunk by them . 11 and they say , “how does god know ? and is there knowledge with the most high ? ” 12 behold , these are the wicked ; and always at ease , they have increased in wealth . 13 surely in vain i have kept my heart pure , and washed my hands in innocence ; 14 for i have been stricken all day long , and chastened every morning . 15 if i had said , “i will speak thus , ” behold , i should have betrayed the generation of thy children .

buying land is more expensive than leasing land . no doubt about that . but to many who do it , the extra cost is more than offset by the pride and satisfaction of having “your own place” to do with as you wish . shoot only big bucks . shoot all bucks . plant food plots . build box blinds . wheel in a mobile home , stake out some pink flamingos and throw a raucous party the night before deer season , if that’s what you like . the ground belongs to you .
jay olshansky’s latest research suggests that american women with no high - school diploma have experienced relatively small life - span increases since the 1950s , while the life expectancy of highly educated women has soared since then . today the best - educated americans live 10 to 14 years longer than the least educated , on average . “nothing pops out of the data like the link between education and life expectancy , ” olshansky says . “the good news is that the share of the american population that is less educated is in gradual decline . the bad news is that lack of education seems even more lethal than it was in the past . ”
