Digg it UP - Playing Hurt
Being in web development for the last 7 years, I have often been asked about making a web site for a friend or family member just as a personal site or for a simple business site.Generally, to have your own web site hosted by a reputable hosting company, you have to prepay for one year and if you want to add or increase features the costs add up. This could include added storage space for files, amount of traffic allowed per month and other options.But, did you know that there is an opportunity to have your own affordable web site developed and on the internet in 24 hours?Yes! There is a company that offers a complete hosting package including a sof
I admit to playing hurt this year for entirely different reasons. I’m a tad bit physically hurt...but it’s that “good hurt” that comes from exhausting exercise, the kind that I didn’t get quite enough of last year because of Nick’s treatment. It’s similar to the kind of hurt that the football players in the Super Bowl play through. Achy
Like so many people in North America I live in a city that has too many people living on the streets and who are homeless or in need of financial assistance. So often these people approach me asking for "spare change" or "help". I always just ignore these request and continue on my way, except yesterday.Yesterday I had an eye opening moment, actually 2 moments, that happens every so often. You see I was minding my own business walking along the sea wall in my home city. I just happened to be walking behind a person asking for "spare change" from every person he encountered on the sea wall. He was not very successful as most people just pretended they did not hear the request or e
“Hands down,” my husband said. “It’s Super Bowl Sunday and you need to write another “Playing Hurt” Newsletter.
It was a tradition started by our old pastor and dear friend, Wayne Smith, arguably one of the most influential Christian pastors in America. He preached tirelessly for over forty years to the faithful who, Sunday after Sunday, both drove great distances to hear him preach as well as sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic for endless miles of the stretch down the only highway leading to the mammoth church in Kentucky. His message was always divinely inspired, but it was his yearly “Playing Hurt” sermon on Super Bowl Sunday that drew the ravest reviews.
It’s because most of us are playing hurt. In one way or another.
And so I wrote my first “Playing Hurt” Newsletter last year, as I played “excruciatingly hurt” when Nick got diagnosed with cancer. Am I worry-free now? Completely walking in faith without shuffling in fear? Absolutely not. I’m only human. I still play hurt on some days, like I did this Thursday when I got a phone call from him saying that he had a fever and was in the doctor’s office. My stomach moved to my throat; my heart raced faster; and my mind played mental gymnastics that were something less than limber.

DUI laws in the United States differ from state to state. This is one of the major reasons as to why one should hire a local DUI lawyer to handle a DUI case.Lawyers who specialize in DUI cases relating to a specific state, like Massachusetts for example, know the various legal loopholes and procedures that can be taken advantage of. They also know the various enforcement and judicial practices that are unconstitutional and violate the right of motorists. These attorneys will also be well versed with the state’s different sobriety tests and their various accuracy levels.Most Massachusetts DUI attorneys offer free consultation services that relate to specific legal advice pe

Shopping cart systems are a way for e commerce websites to make money. Simply, instead of waiting for a customer to send in payment, which by the time they do they have changed their minds. A shopping cart system enables the online business owner to accept funds through their website. Most of them now feature credit card systems to allow individuals to pay with credit or even debt cards. But, how should you choose a shopping cart system?Here are some helpful things to consider about choosing a shopping cart system:• One of the most important aspects of the shopping cart is that it needs to be easy to use.

A simple hello can go a long way in wireless retail, but a recent J.D. Power and Associates customer satisfaction study makes a startling case for the conventional in-store greeting. The study found that overall customer satisfaction declines considerably if customers’ wait time (the time before customers are greeted upon entry) exceeds 30 seconds.This finding is particularly poignant since the average wait time among wireless retail stores is about five minutes. According to the study, customers who are approached within 30 seconds of entering the store provide a satisfaction score 86 points higher (on a 1,000-point scale) than customers not greeted within 30 seconds.Curr
I admit to playing hurt this year for entirely different reasons. I’m a tad bit physically hurt...but it’s that “good hurt” that comes from exhausting exercise, the kind that I didn’t get quite enough of last year because of Nick’s treatment. It’s similar to the kind of hurt that the football players in the Super Bowl play through. Achy muscle hurt. Broken bone hurt. Sore ribs hurt. As the football players stay in the game despite their hurt (did you catch the player riding the stationary bike through a pulled groin?), I booked a tennis game for tomorrow morning. Despite a throbbing previously-broken shoulder and a throbbing-even-more previously-shattered leg. I need to play hurt to make my body even stronger. Professional football players stay in the Super Bowl with broken fingers, pounding muscles, and aching heads. They stick it out until the end. Keep their eye on the ball. Until the game is over and a winner declared.
This year finds many friends of mine suffering emotional pain, and I’m playing hurt with them. Fractured relationships, parenting challenges, strained marriages. Playing hurt while helping them sort out difficult issues. And I have my own playing hurt issues to resolve, too. Disappointments on the business and personal side that require healing.
And these long, bitter days of winter don’t exactly help to lift our spirits, do they? Full of bleakness and of gray, devoid of sunshine and flowers, our landscapes are marked by leafless trees and barely-bubbling creeks. The dreariness makes it even easier to bathe in hurt and in pain. To become depressed with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. With little in the next weeks to look forward to other than a possible delivery from the florist on Valentine’s Day or the surprise of some dark chocolate, it’s almost “natural” to walk around playing completely hurt. No bright, happy colors in
