time. Come on let's, come on let's rejoice. I will rejoice and be glad, and be glad. Bishop Arlene Alexander. Amen and our first lady, Alexander. We are grateful to the Lord for the leadership that God has given to shield of eight long beach, and to be praised and his worship time.  Verses one through. For thou has been a shelter for me, and a strong enemy for ever. I will trust in the COVID of the wings, Silah. For thou, O Lord, has heard my vows. Thou has given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. Thou will prolong the King's life and his years as many generations. He shall abide before God forever. O prepare mercy and truth which may preserve him. So will I sing praise unto thy name forever that I may daily perform my vows. In Jesus' name praise God. Hallelujah. We want to welcome the spirit of the living God in this place today. Hallelujah. The prayer that has gone forth so far, the scripture, the opening song. Hallelujah. We're excited to be in the house of the Lord today. We want to welcome the Holy Spirit in. Hallelujah. That it might. Hallelujah. Saturate us. Hallelujah. It's great. Great and mighty is our God. And we worship him today. Hallelujah. Just because he is the I am that I am. He is God all by himself like him. Our God is awesome and we worship him today. If you glory and all of the honor. Amen. Amen. At this time we'll have our special music by Sister Shy Gilliam. Amen. God is a way maker. He has a way of humbling you and letting him know that he's a way maker and he'll be everything that you need. Every time I get up here and sing it's just like it's a testimony because y'all know y'all been knowing me since I was a kid and where I came from. And when I say God has been just turning my life around and he's not stopping and he's working. I worship you. He's a way maker. Way maker. Miracle worker. Promise keeper. Lighting way maker. To my God is he's a way maker. I worship you. Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus. Your hands are just beginning to worsen with him. Yes, he's God all by himself. He's a way maker. He's like this. He's a promise keeper.  See sometimes we promise our kids we're going to buy them a bicycle for Christmas. And when Christmas came we didn't have the money couldn't do it but he's a promise keeper. And mercy presents him God. Yes, yes, yes. Something happens when you begin to worship. Worship summons the presence of God. He says I will sit down and rest on your worship. See when I need God I don't know what to do. I just begin to worship. Hallelujah. And before you know it he'll show up. And he'll show out. He's my God. Now he's your God but he's my God. He's my God. That's who he is. You cannot separate God from the promises of God. He is the only one that is everything that he can be all of the time. He says I'm God and I don't change. We give honor to our great bishop. We honor him and we thank God for the men of God. For our first lady always dressed immaculately. Always full of the word of God. And we give honor to the ministers and all the saints of God. Most of all give honor to my Lord and my Savior. Because he has redeemed me. And my testimony is by his grace I'm yet saved. I'm not here on my own. I'm not here because of my goodness. But it's by his grace. His grace. I was at a meeting last night or yesterday afternoon. My brother he retired from ministry. And I looked around the room. And I saw probably a hundred saints that I've known for 40 years. And they're yet serving God. Yet holding on. See I know they've been through some stuff. They've been through some problems. I saw them they had had. And when I showed up they looked like me. I said I understand. Don't worry about it. And see some of us we came in we were running and shouting. And we came in yesterday we were walking kind of slow. But we're still here. I may not run like I used to run but I got something here that I didn't have at the time. See I come to know him. You know I think about that scripture says and we know that all things work together for good. But I don't say it like that anymore. It says and now I know that all things work together. Because I've been through the fire. I've been through the rain. I've been through hard times. I've been through trouble. But it all work together for my good. And for his glory. His glory. So I honor the people of God. There are no people like God's people. I was thinking about Solomon. He said Lord Solomon asked the Lord Solomon what do you want?  You need to understand when you belong to God you have greatness in your veins. Your DNA changed from natural to supernatural because you belong to God. My God my God. Hey I'm feeling this thing. One day this week I don't remember what day it was. One afternoon I was walking to my car and two words came to me. No net. And I thought that's kind of I would. What does that mean? No net doesn't make much sense and I began to just think about it and it came to me like the tightrope walkers. They walk from one building to another on a wire and all they have is a balancing rod and the wind is blowing and the sun is in their face but what makes the spectacle amazing is that there is no net. And if they fall they're in trouble but they have no net and God says I want you to have so much faith in me so much trust in me that you'll do what I tell you to do with no net. Instead of a balancing rod like Davis he says thy rod and thy staff they comfort me they balance me they keep me in line and so we can do whatever God has called you to do with no net but just trusting in the arms of Jesus and I believe that's a word for somebody I believe somebody is going through something and you think I'm not good enough I'm not smart enough but if you'll believe in Jesus if you'll trust in the Christ I promise you you can do it and you can do it without a net. Father we thank you for your goodness we thank you for your word you're a powerful God you're an awesome God and we honor you and we realize that there's nothing that we can do without your help so Father I pray I ask you Father to anoint me and to help me to give the word that you gave to me to your people so great a people as thine we are humbled to stand in your presence and to stand in their presence you'll be honored in Jesus' name Amen, amen, amen give somebody a high five and say I got this great he's a great God he's a great king say who is this king of glory the Lord is strong and mighty the Lord mighty in battle I don't care what the battle is that you're going through your God is great he's mighty and he will deliver you and bring you out my God, my God I don't know about you but I'm excited about this thing I couldn't wait to get to church this morning because he was going to be here you know when you're in love with somebody you can't wait to see him because they're going to be there but I couldn't wait to get here because I knew God's going to be in the house he's going to be in the place and if I show up and he shows up we're going to have a Holy Ghost Party up in here Hallelujah the word that the Lord gave me for today is a promise is a promise a promise is a promise numbers 2319 says for God is not a man that he should lie neither the son of man that he should repent hath he said and shall he not do it or hath he spoken it and shall he not make it good even if it's not good he's going to make it good see that's some things we're going through that's tough but God makes it good some things I don't like but God makes it good he told me to do some things I didn't want to do and I just began to obey him and all of a sudden he got good to me bishop and it made it good to me yeah yeah yeah God is faithful to fulfill every promise that he has made now the world says promises are made to be broken in the world people think very little of breaking a promise as a matter of fact to the unsaved they just kind of expect that nobody's going to do what they say they're going to do see that's why we're different we tell the world that we're going to show up on time and we show up on time we told our boss we're going to give you a good day's work and we give him a good day's work see in the world I don't know about you but I have people come up and say to me there's something different about you there's something different about how you live your life there's something different about how you handle yourself and I remember one day she says you know I don't know what it is but it's very uncomfortable talking to you because you always look me straight in my eyes when you ain't got nothing to hide you can look people straight in the eye and say what you mean and mean what you say God is not a man that he should lie in the world says promises are made to be broken but in the kingdom of God everything starts with a promise and God said everything starts with a promise God is not a man that he should lie so to God a promise made is a promise kept it's no compromise it's not if I feel like it or if I feel good I'll make it happen but when God makes a promise like someone said you can take it to the bank in Genesis in the garden Adam and his wife Eve because of the deception of the enemy they sinned and as a result of that sin all of mankind we were lost and separated from God and the Bible says that all of us have sinned in Adam because he tainted the bloodline see we were in line until he tainted the bloodline now sin as in the end where there was simply innocence because of disobedience but the thing I like about it is that even though they sinned and as far as I know pastor Bobby they didn't even repent but God promised redemption nobody made him do it they didn't ask for it God voluntarily promised redemption see you were doing alright but you messed up and you don't have enough wisdom to say I'm sorry but I'm going to redeem you because I love you yes see sometimes we miss it and sometimes we act like we forget to repent and God says ok I know you messed up but I'm going to bless you I'm going to forgive you I'm going to redeem you and put you back in line with me because I love you and so God promised to redeem us God has now after the fall God has a conversation with the serpent turning nearby was the Genesis chapter 3 Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 this is right after the fall he says and I will put enmity the and the woman in between thy seed and her seed it shall bruise thy head now the literal translation is it shall crush your head another translation and he shall tread upon your head and thou shall bruise his heel and so God says I will put enmity I'll put hatred hostility and you Mr. Serpent and the woman and her seed that's mankind he said so the woman see he talks about the woman see he's speaking prophetically he's talking about Jesus he said and Jesus shall bruise he shall crush your head Mr. Serpent now if you crush the head of your enemy you completely crush your enemy see if you crush the head the body will die I heard somebody talking about that yesterday just about chance where I was and he said when it comes to crushing the enemy he says if you crush the enemy's tail he will turn around and bite you but if you crush his head he's dead it's over and nothing he can do so he shall crush the head of his enemy completely and you Mr. Serpent you shall bruise his heel the heel of the woman see the redeemer that is Jesus now the bruising of the heel or the it is painful it is temporary but the crushing of the head is permanent that means it is utter defeat you need to know that the enemy will be utterly defeated in your life if you will stand on the promises of God now always marvel when I see Pastor Bobby she shares her testimony and she says I go over the word I go over the scriptures again and again and again you need to understand that every promise that God made is true if you will access it for yourself I can't do it for you Pastor Bobby can't do it for you he can't do it for you but if you'll access the promises of God for yourself you will see miracles in your life and so Jesus he will crush the head of the serpent Satan was dealt a death blow at Calvary somebody said Calvary settled it all so the offspring of the woman or the seed of the woman his heel will be bruised it says that he was wounded wounded for eye transgressions and he was bruised for eye iniquity the chastisement of our peace was on it but you know what he got healed it didn't last for long oh yeah he died on the cross but in three days in just three days they thought he was gone they thought it was over in three days he got up with all power in heaven and earth in my hand you thought you took me out you did for a minute but I'm back and now you got to deal with me they said Jesus paid it all all to him I owe sin had left a crimson stain but he washed it he cleansed it he fixed it when I didn't know what to do he fixed it have you ever been messed up and say lord I don't know how I'm going to get out of this situation his blood fixed it for me it started with a promise and a promise is a promise check this out there are 3,573 promises made in the word of God every promise that God's made has either been fulfilled or it shall be fulfilled turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 1 2 Corinthians chapter 1 it says for all of the promises now it says all of the promises and to my surprise I looked up the word all in the Greek and in the Hebrew and to my surprise Bishop all means all that's deep it says for all of the promises of God in him or yea yes and in him amen so be it unto the glory of God by us so all of the promises in him in Christ Jesus a yes and amen God is a good God all the promises every promise that you see in the word of God is yea and amen the promises of God are integral every promise is true the promises of God are eternal he says I keep my covenant or I keep my promises to a thousand generations the promises of God are immutable immutable sounds like a big word all it means is unchangeable the promises of God don't change and they cannot be changed it reminded me in the book of Daniel that Daniel had prayed and the king said anybody that prayed was going to be thrown in the lion's den and the king wanted to change the rules but they said the rules according to the rules of the laws of the me's and the persians they cannot be or not even you but every promise of God is immutable it cannot be changed I can't change it all I can do is believe the promises of God and stand on it see I got an aunt she's 100 years old when she was about oh I don't say somewhere in her 40s she was at death's door and all of a sudden cause I asked I said what happened she said did somebody pray for you I said no I said did you take something she said no she said all of a sudden I just started feeling better see but God had made a promise he said with long life well I satisfy you and show you my salvation sometimes he will bless you and not even because you know the promise but he said for my sake I made a promise and I cannot lie with long life I satisfy you she's 100 years old now his promises are immutable so we can stand on every promise that God has made for us Dr. Sykes we used to sing this old song and it's a real old song so I know you know it I'm in trouble now standing on the promises of Christ my savior standing on the promises of God it may sound outdated it might sound old but it still works and as long as it works I'm gonna work it I'm gonna stand on the promises of God because God will not change God will not lie God will not change his mind I am standing on the promises of God in the 22nd chapter of Genesis I don't know I was kinda stuck in the beginning this time God in the text God comes to Abraham and he tells Abraham I want you to go to Mariah and I want you to sacrifice your only son as a burnt offering in other words that son that you waited for that son that you prayed for something that you cried over and I gave to you I want you to kill him can you imagine what Abraham was thinking because God gave me this son and God is good but now he's telling me to kill my son and you know what it's not in the scriptures but I know this Pastor Bobby I bet he didn't tell his wife what he was getting ready to do cause the scriptures will be all together different and a fight broke out at Abraham's house I know she wasn't a sister cause we all Lord have mercy so Abraham takes Isaac and two young men and they head off to sacrifice they get close to Mariah and Abraham tells the two young men y'all stay here and we're gonna go and sacrifice to the Lord and we will return now Abraham know I'm getting ready to kill my son but he says and we will return see that's faith I don't know how God is gonna do it I don't know how he's gonna fix it but what I know at the end of the day he's gonna turn it around turn it around for my good and we sell return and so Abraham takes Isaac and Isaac says to his father says father we got fire and we got wood but where is the sacrifice see sometimes God asks us to do things that don't make any sense to us and we can't figure out how is this gonna work two plus two is supposed to equal four this does not come to four Abraham says still talking great faith that God will provide himself a sacrifice so they go to the mountain and Abraham excuse me builds an altar and I would imagine he's building this altar with a heavy heart I thought I thought how would I feel building an altar knowing what I'm getting ready to do see sometimes what is good for us doesn't feel good to us and so he's building this altar and then he ties up Isaac now you have to understand most of the time when people tell you this story they show Isaac as a little baby boy Isaac was at least a teenager they said somewhere between 13 and 20 Isaac was not just of size said he was strong how do you know he's strong because Abraham put the woods that he was gonna build an altar with on his son's back you gotta be strong to care that much wood going up a hill but Isaac was a willing sacrifice because he trusted his father Jesus was a willing sacrifice willing to die on a cross for something he had not done he says I'm gonna die but my father's gonna raise me up and give me three days I trust God so Abraham puts him on the altar and he draws his knife back to kill his son and the angel of the lord called unto him and said Abraham Abraham don't hurt your son Abraham looks and there's a ram called him to think and he runs over grabs that land and sacrifices that lamb to God God said because you have obeyed me and you did not hold back your only son I am going to bless you you need to understand there is a blessing in obedience if you will obey God will do things in your life that will astonish you think about that other song trust and obey there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey to turn in your Bible to Genesis chapter 22 verse 15 22 verse 15 my nose hasn't been running in weeks all of a sudden I get up here and start running I said devil are you a liar if I had to keep wiping my nose stop and blow my nose that's all right you're not going to stop what God is talking about today Genesis chapter 22 verse 15 it says and the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time see the first time he said don't kill your son then he called out of heaven a second time and said by myself I have sworn I have promised share to Lord because I has done this thing and thou has not withheld thy son thy only son in blessing I promise I will blessing in multiplying I promise I'm multiplying as it stands upon the sea in the seashell that's what I like he said in the seashell possess the gates of your enemy I am giving you dominion over the enemy but also I like that point he says you have not withheld what are you holding back that God is wanting you to give up what are you holding back that we don't know about that you need to give up what are you holding back that everybody knows about but you and you need to give it up I like that so I said withholding nothing withholding nothing see when I get to the place and I'm telling Lord I'm withholding nothing not me not my money, not my children, not my wife not my car there is nothing that is so important that I want to miss the will of God over if he says give it up give it up it's got to go it's got to die I'm going to put it to death at the end of the day I want to say Lord withholding nothing withholding nothing use me to your glory use me to your honor use me up he says I promise I'll bless you I'll give you the gate of your enemy and in thy seed shall the nations of the earth be blessed because you have obeyed my voice today I was in this room and I'm looking around and apostle Henry is there and so many bishops and great men that I know personally that they are because they've holding back nothing they are a blessing to the whole world I often think about my grandfather was a mighty man of God he never traveled too far he went to Hawaii a couple of times I think but because of his faithfulness and what he put into his children and his grandchildren his hands right now are reaching all the way around the world because he obeyed God and if you'll obey God he will use you to touch a generation he'll use you to touch a people I do a meeting once a month downtown at the men's mission I was down there Friday and I was preaching and Bob I would put some heavy stuff down and we did heaven and hell and fire and brimstone it was quiet in there whew I felt bad myself sometimes you know you read the word of God and you think look at anybody make it how can we do this God but for the Holy Ghost and power and at the end of the service people said pastor we just thank you for the word and down to beat me up but I put it down and if you don't like it then just go in the hell anyway and one young lady she said you don't know it but she said you're a father to thousands of people just like me and that kind of blew me away but if you will let God use you you will be a blessing to the nations see and it's not all about preaching it's about what do I do on my job what do I do with school these musicians y'all are a blessing because you usher us into the presence hey hey hey Shah and that's a blessing that blesses the people but because we're on live stream it's going all around the world and your hands and your fingers are touching people and so let me get finished the script he says in that seat you'll be a blessing to all all nations and he says I will bless you in your seat after you God says I will prosper them and I will give them dominion over the enemy you don't have to be afraid of the devil and demons because God has given you dominion and authority it's not about you but when the devil comes up into your face when demons come up to your face when possessed people come up to your face and they've come up in my face and I said devil in the name of Jesus I take authority over you get out of my house get out of my face get out of my life and they got to go because he's giving me dominion dominion I can't remember who it was I remember reading it and it might have been Smith Wiggles working somebody said he woke up one night out of sleep and the devil was sitting on the end of his bed he said oh devil it's just you he said I rolled over and went back to sleep see when you know who you are you don't have to be afraid I know you can't do nothing to me you want to but I'm going to run you out of here in the name of Jesus he said at the name of Jesus demons tremble at the name of Jesus every knee shellbound every tongue they're going to confess let me go ahead and wrap this up for bishop stands up you know back in the old days when it's time for you to sit down they start saying oh bless him Jesus bless him lord hallelujah they get loud oh okay time to sit down let me finish this thing up turn to Galatians chapter 3 Galatians chapter 3 I had a good friend of mine first time he went out and preached he was preaching he preached about the soaring soaring the word he was trying to wrap it up bishop he kept hovering around the airport we called him come on man land the plane land the plane he was preaching he couldn't figure out how to end this pastor Bobby so he walked up to the microphone I'm through I'm done I got no more Galatians 3 29 it says if you be Christ then you are Abraham seed and heirs according to the promise if you belong to Christ Jesus then you are Abraham seed and heirs according to the promise every blessing every promise that Abraham was entitled to because your heirs according to the promise you're entitled to every promise God promise he says I will answer your prayers he said before you call on me I will answer God says I'll give you a piece he says I'll give you a piece that passes your own understanding in the name of Jesus God said I'll give you wisdom he said if any man or woman like wisdom ask me ask me don't go to your neighbor don't go to your book don't go to mama never ask me and I'll give it to you liberally God said if you need healing he promise I'll heal you I'm the Lord that healeth you I'm the Lord that healeth you of all of your diseases he promised that he would provide for us he says I will supply all of your needs every one of your needs whatever it is that you need you don't have to be ashamed to go here and say father I need he said I will supply all of your needs according to my riches and glory by Christ Jesus he says I'll give you everything that pertains to life and to godliness God promised to always always always always be with us see that's such a blessing to know that whatever I go whatever I am facing God is with me God says you can go through the floods and I'll be with you and I won't let you drown he said you can go through the fire and I'll be with you and I won't let the fire burn you I thought about Shadrach they threw him in the fire but Jesus got in the fire with him as a matter of fact he was so close that the fire couldn't burn him and this is what I like to say when it got not even the smell of smoke not even the smell of of smoke was in their clothes God says I will never leave you and I won't forsake you God's giving unto us many, many greater exceeding greater and precious promises and a promise is a promise so you can rejoice rejoice because every promise God has made is sure they will not fail you can trust in the promises of God you've got to make it up in your mind you've got to make it up in your mind I'm going to walk by faith and not by sight I'm going to walk by faith and not by what I see I'm going to walk by what God said and not by sight I'm going to keep on trusting in God I'm going to keep on standing on the promises of God tell somebody I'm going to believe the promises tell somebody I'm going to trust in the promises tell somebody I'm going to stand on the promises of God with no net no net trusting in him God said it I believe it and I'm going to do it with no net because a promise I said a promise a promise from God is a promise God promised to save you God promised to heal you God promised to deliver you God promised to open doors for you He promised to make a way out of no way God promised to fight for you Larry Parker will fight for you for 30% and more but God promised to fight and because I know that I can sing that song victory victory shall be mine if I will hold my peace and let the Lord fight my battles He told Jehoshaphat I don't need you to fight all I need for you to do is show up and give me some praise and get out the way and let me do what I do the promises of God are sure right God will not lie to us He will not trick us the promises of yeah and amen God says I am a faithful God so the promises of God and God is a promise keeper he won't lie he's giving us the victory a promise is a promise God bless you there's a song that asks tell me where are you standing where are you

can hang with us when we were raising our children and they came home from school we said what did you learn in school today I want to ask what did you learn in school today you learned a promise is a promise and the promise that is a promise is a promise to me and if I stand on the promise that is a promise that cannot fail I've got victory all the time hallelujah thank God thank God thank God loves us there's one called the adversary of the soul they want us to think that God doesn't care he said do it but I have to tell on apostle again the apostle was a young kid and mother left home and left instructions for us to do this and this and this and the apostle wasn't doing his this we said you better do whatever it was mother said do it she didn't say I had to she said do it but she didn't say I had to now see that's the adversary of the soul speaking to the people of God you know what he said do but he wasn't talking to me he didn't say I had to so I want all of us to understand what the Lord has said to us today stand on the promise that can't fail a promise is a promise and he says that you need to do what is necessary to receive the promise now if there's anyone here today and you need prayer for whatever whatever come to the altar thank you Jesus the Lord is waiting he stands waiting to hear our plea thank you Jesus thank you Jesus thank you Jesus thank you Jesus trust

to it they mean something they mean something and when you get these songs down in your spirit you can get some flavor out of it as a blessing for it let me tell you give a little short testimony I used to sing these songs I used to leave praise and worship down the street for Bible study and then they used to get on me about singing these old songs and sister bullet daughter didi when she left and went to college she joined the choir and you know what she told me thank you minister sordin for singing these songs because she knew these songs these songs was down in her spirit standing on the promises of God standing on the promises of God they would never fail they would never fail and as elder Kevin Ross was preaching he said there's a blessing in being obedient he said trust and obey for there is no other way withholding nothing from God all this coming to me saying be obedient when it comes to paying our tithes and giving our offering he said honor the Lord with thy substance and with the first fruit of all increase so thy bones be filled with plenty and thy presence shall burst out with new rhyme in Deuteronomy 288 it said the Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouse and in all thy setters thy hand on everything you touch will be blessed will be multiplied hallelujah and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God give his deed standing on the promises the Lord word comes to each and every one this is an individual thing it's personal it's personal if you want this blessing you have to be obedient to the word of God you have to follow what the word of God says not your mother your father, your sister, your brother you this is individual just like the plan of salvation is individual so if you want to be blessed be obedient to the Lord and watch that the Lord will open up a window and pull you out of blessing that you won't have room to receive please stand with me in Jesus name the Lord cannot fail he cannot fail he's true to his word all offering up in Jesus name Father in the name of Jesus we thank you for this offering Lord God that we're about to receive Lord God in Jesus name Lord we ask that you bless it multiply Lord God let it continue Lord God to meet every need Lord God in the name of Jesus Lord God and Lord we ask you to bless the gift and the giver Lord God in Jesus name you say give and he shall be given back to them with good measures pressed down shaking together running over shall men give unto their bosom in Jesus name we pray amen and amen now you come up with your offering Father in the name of Jesus Lord God we thank you for giving it in my mind to give Lord God a mind to be obedient a mind to stand on your word a mind to stand on your promises Lord God in the name of Jesus Lord God bless this offering Lord God that you and you alone Lord God may receive all the glory all the honor and the praise in Jesus name in Jesus name we pray amen and amen he is able he is able and he's proven himself amen I just want to say I thank the Lord for yesterday's adventure a wedding we have a new member in our church I was so excited when the parents got a chance to testify they had many wonderful things to say about their son and they weren't made up stories they told the truth we didn't understand fully who was gracing our instrument the drums thank the Lord for setting in that young man is a special person and they were proud to say who all he is and what he has done now parents you have to put into your children what you want to see come out of them I didn't intend to do this but it just came to me at the end and I must say this if you don't train them up according to the scripture if you don't have standards if you don't bring them to church you'll not have the report of these parents right here I'm so excited brother Terrence is a wonderful wonderful man and he got himself a wonderful wonderful wife I was so impressed with her sight what I heard from her sight I had just seen her here among us winning couple winning couple amen we got a couple witnesses here amen want to thank the Lord Thomas is back with us amen God loves this church God loves this church some people kind of try to put music down but music is is critically important critically important and so the thing that happens is music was created for heaven until old sleuthwood in there and got kicked out of heaven and he took the music from heaven with a third of the angels and he started to do his own thing I ain't gonna preach let's we'll be dismissed come on I was truly praised yesterday he got glory he got glory out of everything that happened I was telling somebody yesterday parenting is sacrificial it is and if you don't plan on being sacrificed not just for the Lord but you have to do it for your children that's right kingdom wise yes we present our bodies but for our children's sake it is important that we train them up and Daryl and I did that it was a sacrifice we couldn't do everything we wanted to do and for the Lord's sake he got a seed out of us absolutely and his intention was that seed to be a godly seed right that's right and so we understood that very well and so we prayed and lived it that's what we did we prayed and we lived it and we prayed and we lived it and we didn't get it right all the time but God wasn't expecting perfection he was expecting us to obey him and stand on his word and that we did and I thank God he's in Hawaii now celebrating his nuptials with his new wife and my new daughter Amen Ms. Shardae I could be here at 11 Well Amen Bishop Amen but come on be dismissed Amen I am so determined even the more beautiful message elder Kevin is just promise is a promise you don't need a knit when you stand on the promises of God


Welcome to Love Where You Live, a monthly magazine of all the wonderful things that are going on in Sheboygan County and hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, the Sheboygan County Chamber of Commerce. I'm Betsy Alice and I'm the Executive Director there. This morning I am very pleased to have with us Laura Rehnitz who is the Executive Director of Safe Harbor. Now Safe Harbor was the winner this year of our Chamber Champion Award for non-profits which is a significant achievement because I don't know how many non-profits we have but I bet it's over a hundred. Oh, I bet. Yep, so a prominent organization in town that does a lot of good and that's what we're going to talk about this morning so welcome Laura. Thank you for being here. Thank you. It's my pleasure. Yeah, you've been doing this now six years. Okay. Yeah, I've been in the Director position six years. Safe Harbor has been in Sheboygan for over 25 years so we have a long history of serving the community. We started as a domestic violence only agency with help from community members in St. Nicholas Hospital and then later added sexual assault services and now we're a dual agency with a 15 bed shelter in Sheboygan serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Okay. Wow. How many people do you serve in a year? That depends on what we're talking about but in our shelter we serve about 200 people a year in shelter so a lot of people think that's the biggest piece of our business. It's certainly the most expensive but we serve the fewest indirect services there. We serve over 700 families, individuals and families with direct service who never see a day in shelter. They don't need it. It's not something that they need to heal from domestic violence. We also have prevention education and I think last year we served or presented to with educational topics like healthy relationships, good touch, bad touch and then adult presentations in the community. Over 7,000 people we served last year in prevention. Oh my gosh. Okay, so in a variety of settings too I would imagine. Our prevention work is mostly done outside of our facility. We take over 5,000 hotline calls a year so that's a significant amount so numbers are rising which is great. There's not a good way to know whether the problem is increasing I think but what we believe is we're lowering the stigma to get help by being out in the community and talking more about it to wider ranges of people and so people are feeling more confident to come forward and say I'm not sure what this is but something in your presentation spoke to me that I might have these issues and they're coming forward so before it gets to be a crisis it's exciting. Even in my short time here with a lot of the mental health kinds of discussions the community conversation that was held a couple of years ago all those things have really brought it to the forefront and I noticed people talking about it much more frequently than they did before. That's great to hear. It's a cornerstone of really how we serve the community is really talking about it in ways that are understandable that are not intimidating or frightening so I think for a long time agencies like ours were secret locations and it was secret work which I think really led to the stigma of somehow being shameful or embarrassing it is just something that occurs sometimes power and control shifts in a relationship it doesn't always start out that way but yeah so I'm glad to hear that you're hearing people talk about it other agencies our community as a whole is very supportive of our agency and the work that we do so yeah I'm thrilled at the work we're doing. Yeah it's great and a lot of it's happened in a lot of the time that you've been there. Maybe but the groundwork was laid by the pioneers in this movement so I would never take credit for any of that I built off of what other people have done in this community. Oh of course and you probably have a strong board and you have a lot of support in the community too. We do this is an extremely generous community we are so grateful for the support we get from individuals and companies and organizations, clubs, schools, everybody who really crosses our paths usually asks how can we help more and they do whether that's volunteering their time to help us file or help us clean up our backyard or plant plants or do direct service we have two really ways to serve our community or our clientele is direct service or indirect service and we do a variety of different things in that way. You definitely have an ambitious and inspiring mission statement which I want to read. It says safe harbor provides prevention intervention education and outwards reach services to empower individuals families and the community to live lives free of violence. I think that's pretty encompassing I think you already kind of given us a broad picture what can I do all of us can do in our communities to help safe harbor and to help this bigger picture so that people can live lives free of violence. So we're an empowerment agency so what that means is we don't have a prescription for any person who's dealing with this in their life it's different every single client is different every situation is different so what we ask the community to do is talk about it more talk about it as if you in a way that is I have a solution why don't you call safe harbor so understand it when you hear it isn't shocking it's yep I understand that that happens why don't we put you in touch with someone at safe harbor so refer that's the first thing anyone can refer anyone to our agency we have a 24 hour helpline so we're staffed 24 hours a day you can show up at our facility 24 hours a day so what is that number it is<PHONE_NUMBER> and we can probably show that on the screen probably so that'd be great it is a good number to have the second thing is if you see something happening in terms of interpersonal violence people in your life treating others with disrespect without consent for you know touching or things like that we talk a lot about respect to quality consent if those three things aren't present say something hmm I saw an exchange that between you and you know your friend and your significant other your boyfriend or girlfriend I didn't really understand why it feels like there's not a lot of respect there let's talk about that talking about those things interceding and saying you know what that didn't make sense to me can you help me understand is a way to give someone an opening to say yeah I'm not really sure what's going on here so it's really being a supportive secondary person in someone's life who may have felt afraid to talk about it and I think the third way is really taking an active role in community work in the work that we do talking about it in your companies in your clubs making sure that everyone's aware of the services that we do so it is really engagement right and you mentioned earlier that you're available to do presentations yeah at service clubs at churches all those kinds of gathering places yep that's part of our prevention education program platform is we'll come to basically anywhere and talk about a range of different topics from healthy relationships to interpersonal communication to really those those those three tenants respect equality and consent those are the three things that we really believe have to be present in any interpersonal relationship a friendship a romantic relationship anything so we'll come talk about that and I think it starts a discussion again we're not prescriptive in the solution but it really does start a community discussion about what do we want our organization to be what do I want my relationship to be what do we want our community to live by and we think those are pretty strong things to live by they are it's almost like helping to create or to to shape the culture and to improve the culture in the community as well as in the family you know so that we support all of those kinds of behaviors it is a cultural issue a societal issue domestic violence it's not it certainly is a private issue but it is something that affects our community as a whole it affects the workforce it affects family relationships it it affects the stability and the mental health of the people involved on both sides so it's critical that we as a community step forward and say you know what not in our community we're gonna do everything we can to support those agencies and those people who want to give and get help right that's great so you know it's I know it's really difficult for people to come forward we hear that all the time so so how can we encourage people to do that today yeah it's it's really tough I think what I hear from our clients most is when I'm ready I'll come forward and that is so hard to watch it's such a hard power and control dynamics that are lopsided are really hard to watch with loved ones so really what we say is be supportive be there so when they're ready you can be supportive and help them get to where they need to be whether that's safe harbor or a different place or a different family it doesn't matter I think what we see most is and I'll say this loved ones who are trying to be supportive tire of staying in a release watching their loved ones stay in a relationship and then they stop being supportive so I would say we need to all be strong and be there when that person is ready to come forward what it looks like on the other end so when you make a call to our helpline or when you come to our facility it's different it's completely anonymous you can call and not give your name and not tell just talk about say you know I just need a little I need to understand this better here's what's happening and what will happen is we'll say our staff will say tell me a little bit more about what's going on and you get to really pace it out yet how you are comfortable it is all about your plan and what you need to do as a as a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault so it's we're not going to tell you what to do we're going to support you and what you think you need to do and offer you resources and support that's great I you know I'm also curious and I I've always been how you know it's so hard to raise money today how do you do that in our community I know you have a wonderful event once a year we do we do a little about that okay so our funding stream is really sort of three prongs we receive money from victim services funds so those are funds that are set aside in the general budget from the state and federal government to support victims of crime like sexual assault victims domestic violence victims children who have been harmed by either one of those things so we call those victim services funded we write grants to the state and the federal government to get that okay and then the second is really local community foundations who support this work we also write applications or sit down with boards that fund agencies like ours to secure that funding on a year-to-year basis and then we have an annual fund drive and then one fundraising event a year so it's really three pronged for us about 50 almost 55% of our funding is community-based and the other 45 is that victim service funding our fundraiser is called men who cook and we ask about 30 men to step forward and choose a meal their favorite meal cook 200 portions and three ounce portions a tasting portion of their favorite meal we sell tickets we have to ask people to come in and you go from station to station in one on one night our event is February 17th this year okay our next year for yeah it's a very well-attended event we're so fortunate that people like it and they come out to support us and you know it's important that men in our community and then I can't speak up more highly than the men who support this event in our agency they just are behind us 100% and it's important to know that not not all men are abusers abusers are not only men but it is important that we have a united voice yes behind us that our man it's primary unity is important so it really is well definitely a deserving agency that that serves very very well and is very much dependent upon thank you for coming today thank you for having us speaking with us and congratulations on the award well thank you we're honored yeah hello and welcome back to love where you live a production of the shabuigan county chamber of commerce I'm Betsy Alice happy to be with you today I am the executive director of the chamber and we have a guest this morning from the chamber of commerce Tammy groth who's been with us before but there are some new developments now that I want to talk about with Tammy and let you know about Tammy is the workforce development director for the shabuigan county chamber welcome Tammy to the show happy to be here yeah just before we went on the air I said Tammy is it okay if I ask you this really far-flung question and she said yes she's a she's game so because it occurred to me that a lot of people really probably don't know what workforce development encompasses even just from the chamber standpoint if not from our educators and our employer standpoint so you know if you could you know just play with me a little bit here and let's talk about you know what that whole spectrum of involvement and connection looks like where it starts where it finishes and and what we end up with as a as a county as employers as parents as a community so I think probably we start with the K-12 process through actually young professionals and even a little bit beyond that's probably our biggest focus as far as that professional development just developing the talent pipeline and connecting the businesses with the students and getting the businesses to work with the educators because that's that labor market information and collaboration and getting the students to know you know what they what jobs are available in our area so it's it's not only helping to prepare them academically for and for their careers it's also helping them to understand what businesses are located within their very own backyard all the cool things that our companies create produce and the amazing opportunities that those students have to connect with these you know world-class companies internationally known right here so that when they do make that decision to when they graduate from high school that they have that opportunity to come back if they're leave the area and so it's nice little it's a relationship building in that connection and I guess that would be my vision moving forward just to have that connection so that the students connect before they graduate from high school so that they have those opportunities in mind when they finish whatever degree whatever schooling or if they decide even to go straight into the workforce and then to have those employers you know have that available to them as well yeah it's a pretty amazing shift in a way with 3,000 jobs available in our county we as the Chamber of Commerce need to support our members in helping to build that pipeline absolutely and really that's the crux of your department in the Chamber I know you know it's it's about a lot of things it's about building bridges between educators and businesses it's about kind of building that that pipeline where it is where kids from the time they're in fifth grade you know have an inkling of what's going on and in their world and their parents become educated about it too about all the opportunities because we all tend to be very myopic you know we have our own family our own career our own perspective and we want our kids to be exposed to all the opportunities they could have that's interesting because studies actually have shown that students typically enter the same professions as their their families because that's what they know so with the academic and career planning opportunities available through the schools and working with the businesses to provide those opportunities as work-based learning the students are exposed to more and then so the Chamber what we do we are the facilitators of many of those opportunities so yeah I you know another thing that I think is is a powerful part of the Chamber is the business education partnership committee this you know started as a workforce development committee many years ago but probably four years ago three years ago it really took a huge leap forward thanks to you and thanks to the leadership of that committee absolutely but it's a calm well I want you to explain it to people because I think it's a great great way to operate well actually so the business education partnership is exactly what its name implies so on the education side of the partnership we're privileged to have superintendents from five different school districts on the on the partnership we have LTC now UW-Shabuigan and Lakeland on the business side of the partnership we have and just just to name a few we have Johnson representatives from Johnsonville, Kohler, Sargento, old Wisconsin, Kurt G. Joa, Aurora, healthcare so there's some you know nice diversity and from with different levels within those organizations we have you know a general manager of one particular and then also some HR folks involved with that too and now that's just the core so what the the business education partnership is doing is forming strategic partnerships outside of that inviting them in because there are so many initiatives taking place that we need to work together on so we also have the Shabuigan County Job Center participating with us we have Great Lakes Training we have Department of Vocational Rehabilitation we have Work Bound and we have Junior Achievement working with us and now we have the Commons which is an entrepreneurial skills accelerator to help our college and high school students to learn those particular skills which are important whether you're self-employed or you're working for a company so right those intrapreneurs to do absolutely that whole mindset is really a powerful creative it is we're excited to have them as partners so if we have time today we'll go back to that a little bit otherwise maybe we'll make the Commons a topic of a future show that'd be great so tell me what's coming up in this next year what what is the business education partnership focused on what do they hope to accomplish well the state of Wisconsin they have some requirements for academic a career planning for all schools to be offered to students grades 6 through 12 and that starts with the 2017-18 school year now Shabuigan County has been very proactive in this area and is proactive but in order to provide those opportunities and for all students within those great levels you know I think the BEP recognized the business education partnership recognized the short-term as we affectionately right that's right that's our nickname for them yeah so they recognize that the demands for on everyone's time and resources to provide all these experiences for these students was really going to increase so how could we as a as a partnership reach out to others and to the educators to find out how we can align our resources bring in strategic partnerships to make things more efficient effective for students and maximize the efforts for employers who are looking for you know we're a workforce so we met with our school counselors from every different school district within Shabuigan County put together a plan that will include financial literacy employability skills social skills entrepreneurial skills on top of the work-based learning and some career exploration you know dashed in there too so at each grade level yes have a different set of of common denominators common things they're learning or being exposed to throughout their education absolutely and that's a huge change it used to be that our school districts would you know they were very effective they would do things here and do things there and you know I think now the chamber's role has really been just to facilitate that connection that bridge absolutely it's been a really good bridge where I think all of us are very excited just to to roll this out and that you'll notice that at the what we'll be talking about shortly is the workforce development summit and so that's that plan will be unveiled on so great segue because that is my next question I would like to hear more about in our audience would too each year and this is our third year that's hosting the workforce development summit and and I think you know everything has led up to this year which at in looking at the agenda which I'd like you to kind of go over briefly I think it's it'll be the most powerful so share with us a little bit of what's going to go on there you would well it's on September 26th Blue Harbor we started 7 30 in the morning with registration the program at stealth starts at 8 30 though one of the things that we wanted to bring in is we and I'm really excited we have the chief economist from the Department of Workforce Development to talk about some labor market trends that's going to take us at least through 2024 maybe a little bit beyond labor market trends are really important to help our employers as they're planning for the future for their future workforce but educators can also utilize this information because it helps them to help their students too with their academic and career planning which obviously is becoming a really huge focus so we wanted to make sure that to provide that we also are privileged to have the state superintendent of public instruction Dr. Tony Evers he's going to come and give us a brief overview of the academic and career planning requirements that the state is if putting into effect this year and then we're going to have some representatives from the business education partnership roll out the plan as it pertains to those academic and career plans and how we are going to maximize these efforts align the resources to really help businesses and particularly I think the small and medium-sized businesses who just don't have the time to go out and you know participate in all these work-based learning opportunities there's so many fires are putting out trying to get workers today and put today's fire out they don't necessarily have the luxury of having a person on staff that can work directly with the schools so there are things or our options available and opportunities that we want to make sure that they understand that we're here to help them and they can still be a part of it so if they haven't attended this before this would be the year to do that I think I think regardless of who you are there's definitely something new to learn at this okay so quickly we have three minutes left all right I want to talk about briefly about the awards that you're going to be giving out this year the new awards okay we have the educator of the year award and the friend of education of the year award that will be presented by Dr. Avers the reason we wanted to do this is again Sheboygan County is just filled with so many wonderful educators and so many people in the community working on behalf of education business education partnerships and mentoring students so we wanted to separate the two though to recognize you know everyone has a favorite teacher who's out there doing things above and beyond the call of duty whether it's through instruction through the programs that they've done field trips exactly and the same thing with the friend of education they could be doing actually the same types of things not necessarily defined as an educator but out there teaching students whether it's how to weld whether it's a mentoring program or what have you they're out there making a difference basically to make students successful after life in life after graduation yeah which is a big it's huge responsibility so the more that we can direct them or connect them it make the resources easy for them to find and participate with I think you know Inspire Sheboygan County yes is also in a whole other topic but a wonderful bridge for our educators and our businesses to make those valuable connections and and you're right about small and medium-sized businesses because I think to this point it's been more focused on larger employers kind of a pilot portion so now I think it's ready and I would encourage all of our members to at least explore what's going on there so that's on the 23rd 26 26 September 26 from 7 30 when breakfast starts right in the morning until noon so it's a happy day okay and of course as always we are having facilitated conversation because that's the the entire premise of the summit is to be able to talk to each other and to network and to share best practices excellent and I you know have been privileged to attend both of the others and was very impressed with the level of of conversation and the excitement around primarily getting together and having these discussions because you also have people sit at pretty mixed tables we do so yep we purposely put we want to make sure that educators and HR professionals get together at the tables and so well Tammy thank you for being with us today and bringing the Workforce Development Summit to the forefront I would encourage all of you to go to shabuigan.org and and take a look at that event if you can possibly attend I know that you will learn some valuable things that day regardless of whether you're a business person or an educator so thank you so much for your work and for being here thank you


Ladies and gentlemen, the Secretary of State, ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States and Ambassador Mike Mansfield. Ladies and gentlemen, rather than take up too much of your time thanking the President for his personal interest in the Asian Pacific area in the relations between Japan and thanking him for his stalwart fight against protectionist legislation, it gives me in the words of the speakers of the House for two centuries the highest honor and the greatest privilege to introduce to you the President of the United States. Thank you. Thank you very much.  As soon as I get back upstairs where Nancy is, I'm going to get the button back on. Well, thank you. Thank you all. I just want to take this opportunity to tell you how much that we all appreciate the job you've done to make this summit and our visit the tremendous success that it's been. The American people and the other free people of the world will reap tangible benefits due to what we've accomplished here. And although the newspapers focus on those of us who sat around the conference table, I understand full well that behind the scenes it was your hard work and professionalism that made things happen. I have great faith in you, in your skill and in your commitment. You know, sometimes people find themselves in situations which put their faith to a test. There's a story you knew I'd have one of those. About a fellow who fell off a cliff. Parkway down he caught the branch that was sticking out from the side of the cliff and he hung there and hundreds of feet above the rocky floor of the canyon and he looked up and called out for help and there was no answer.  And a loud booming voice said, if you have faith, let go. And he looked down at the rocks once again and looked up again and says, is there anyone else up there? On the other hand, I can't tell that one with the risk of being sacrilegious without telling another one that I think we all ought to think of more often. A flood, a man on his rooftop, the water's rising, a boat came by offered to take him off and he said, no, I've put my faith in the Lord and the Lord will protect me. So the boat went on. Pretty soon another boat came by and the water was higher and the same thing and he gave the same answer. And then a helicopter came and dropped a line. He wouldn't take that. He said, the Lord would take care of him. Well, he was swept away and drowned and arrived in heaven and he was pretty upset. He said, I put my faith in the Lord and he said, look, what am I doing here dead now? And a voice from above said, I sent two boats and a helicopter. Well, a special thanks to Ambassador Mike Mansfield and Maureen and thanks also to the DCM, D.C. Anderson. Mr. Ambassador, I'm told that in this country club, or country club, I've been around Don Regan and George Schultz so long with their golf playing that you I'm told in this country, older leaders are much respected. Mike, that kind of gives us an edge. But Mr. Ambassador, you're recognized here and back home as one of the finest representatives this country has to offer. There are few things more important to the future of our country and the future of freedom in the world than goodwill and cooperation between the United States and Japan. This visit has again confirmed that our relations are in the best of hands. Many of you here are aware that Ambassador Mansfield is not only a diplomat, par excellence, but also a horticulturist. Mike, I know you've been planting trees in the embassy grounds to commemorate presidential visits. Let me just say from what we've accomplished during this summit, I know you're an excellent gardener.  And finally, permit me a personal word to all of you. Those of us back home appreciate that each of you is an ambassador of the United States, a representative of our country. We also are painfully aware that today, you who are in the Foreign Service of the United States often find yourself in harm's way for our sake. Your friends and family, all of us, are concerned about you. Your safety is important to us. But most of all, we're proud of you and grateful for the job that you're doing. God bless and thank you again, all of you.

Well, guess you're not getting this then buddy Sorry, I guess we can Red foil nice Magnet for you man in Palmer black foil. I have not seen much Lane pulled the one-to-one. That's like all we've seen of Acunia Each year o' triumph wretz foil J rod a nice one there von congrats buddy Red foil of Josh Smith red foil Aaron judge arson judge arson judge heading to Giants So we're gonna miss Heyman You bought We're Giants fans. We got in trolled twice and Matt Swarmer Jake's boy. All right last box here one pretty solid second one for sure That is a pita Lonzo of Bobby whip G1 Bay Black foil. I know arson judge dude.  I Gotta be first. I gotta be first. I gotta be first. I gotta be first Wow Yeah, and then you blew it absolutely Really really blew that Because he not proofread. Yeah, really not team team. I said talk a Yoshida Congrats von short front of a Red Sox. Oh Very nice. Do you can pull red socks? I guess so. Hell yeah, I pulled them. He had the Red Sox in a Case of this the other day and pulled my Pedro Otto really dope really really cool Pedro Insert was a brave Ezekiel Durand rookie Otto for the Rangers technically I did pull one another Yankee with him because he was a We traded him for Joey Gallo. Yeah, I like how they made beam teams SP's as well Posey and Oswaldo Cabrera red foils red furls one Soto triumfrets 79. Oh peachy. That's a big one Garrett Cole on their factory. Yeah, that's a young Garrett Cole right there Sayon drew waters. Thank God you pulled a red sock Ryan Sandberg rice to ring orange rookie to 199 Cisco Alvarez Christian Yelich Fire I would say you'd probably make money on it. Claudia if you sold the case Yeah, got it than India Well, come on man, you know it was good. You know it was good I should say it's an o-ring to ring instead of an o-ring a thing like that. It's just didn't just Now George Kirby happy birthday happy birthday Whoo They say I'll do if you break Vaughan. Thanks again for the sport buddy. Good amount of mine

Hi everybody this is Dave Vellante and we're here at the HackReduce with Adam Fuchs and he's the CTO of Squirrel, Adam. First of all welcome. Thank you. Thanks for coming on.  Explain the tech behind the Accumulo project and what Squirrel brings. All right so what we're trying to do is bring big data security and analytics all together. Right so what we've done is we've taken Google's big-table design, we've extended it by adding cell-level security in and we've built a wide range of design patterns on top of that to build complex analytics right. When you bring all three of those things together you get a nexus right which allows people to just innovate right around big data right. Yeah so so the the the project came out of really a spawned out of big table right you guys saw a big table and said hey we can improve upon this is that right? Yeah right so we were working at the National Security Agency on this and we were trying to solve big data problems but also a lot of multi-level security problems so we looked at Google's architecture and said oh this is a pretty good start for our design right. We took the big-table paper that Google published and we started from scratch there built our own version of that threw in some techniques from a whole bunch of other infrastructure that we've been developing and voila you get Accumulo out of that. So you guys talk a lot about cell-level security and after studying this and talking to some people my takeaway and I wonder if you could confirm this or maybe of course correct it is really what you guys have is a a multi-tenant no-SQL database for the cloud at massive scale is that a right the right way to think about this? Yeah I mean that's part of it right but you got to think about what do people do with with big data in no SQL databases right. A lot of times you know people have a row-level security databases which will protect things that come from different sources they'll have column-level security right which protects different schemas but when people do big-data analysis they flip the data on in they pivot it right and the row boundaries the column boundaries they don't match anymore so cell-level security allows you to continue that security that that data-centric security model into the application space. What's the performance impact of all that you know security code? Talk about that a little. Yeah so the nice thing is that with cell-level security the combinatorics although you know they're possibly huge in practice they're actually pretty small so I might have a trillion entry database that's got a thousand different unique security labels right so we can use that fact to both compress well and also cache results of computation and it ends up being the cost of performance is negligible. So if you tried to apply this tech to a traditional database no SQL database it would it bring it to its knees? I think if you tried to you know got a couple it on top of it that would be a challenge yeah there's a lot of optimization that goes into a cumulative make it work well. Congratulations on getting squirrel off the ground we'll be watching I really appreciate you taking some time with us keep it right there we're right back


Janisse is getting a bbl today. I'm not getting a bbl. That's right Well, I mean she did wake up this morning listening to I the tiger. No, I did it. Why you be lying to them? What's going on if an event welcome back to another video if you guys are new to the channel make sure you guys hit that subscribe button Turn on your post notification about leave a positive comment down below for chance to get a wha But just get a shout out in the next video. That's right guys So my you know my little wha wha was a little low because right now it's eight o'clock in the morning Usually we're waking up at this time. We've been up since like six. Yeah, he's probably been up since four. Yep She's getting a secret surgery done today. So like I said that bbl is about to come in clutch God, what do you mean that bbl is about to come in clutch?  What is the definition of a bubble?  That's just like Do you know what I mean when I'm perky?  But a bubble is just like a perfect like little scoop. I thought that was like that Why are we talking about it? I don't know. Tell them about your bbl guys.   All right. Anyway today I am going to be getting a surgical procedure done that I have been dreading for so long But it's something that I really have to do.  See this is what makes it seem like you're getting a bbl. It's like you're hiding it You can just tell them what it is like I mean, I don't see what's the big deal I really don't think it's a big procedure to begin with I feel like this is not like really really light But it's still considered a surgery. So yeah, but I mean I'm getting put under so it's like I'm kind of taking it seriously I mean for like 15 10 to 15 minutes. You're gonna be like knocked out. No, it's like to a half hour.  I don't know. I've touched on this like sometimes We'll start to fire at 8 10 in the morning. Well, whoever it is. I hope everyone's okay. Like people just woke up I'll continue in one second when these sirens are gone. All right before we were interrupted I was saying that I am pretty much Getting this procedure done because I have really bad stomach issues and Everyone always gives me the run around as to what exactly I have. I've been diagnosed with IBS without any, you know Medical diagnosis pretty much. They haven't done anything to check my stomach. They're just like, oh, yeah Well, you have all these symptoms. Yeah, you have IBS They've given me pills for it hasn't worked and lately more than ever I've been struggling with like stomach pains and extreme bloating and Honestly, I'm just over it. I don't know if it's like Parasites or I have like gastritis Parasites. Yeah, you can have parasites in your stomach like tapeworms and stuff. No, babe. Like what's tapeworms? I'm dead serious. Yo, isn't a parent isn't a tapeworm a parasite? Maybe I don't know But anyway, I just wanted to get this procedure done and over with I've been joining it for a really long time and Hopefully I get some answers today. So yeah, let's just go on this journey and I'll see you guys when I get there All right, everyone. So I'm here. I'm at the place. I forgot my aligners Yeah, and I can't wear my aligners. I'm talking normal though. It feels great. Bro. My aligners I Say it's like I told him I was like, yeah, babe I don't think I could wear my aligners today.  He's like you can't Put it in the camera down my throat you think that I will be I told you I could have done it at home for you. We could have took our vlog camera I could have shot it down your throat took a look and then like we don't have to come over here and pay someone else to do it You know how I feel about paying other people to do something we do ourselves.  What's wrong? We can put you on the island in our kitchen Actually, I saw this thing don't tell me you saw someone do it at home No, there's like a procedure and I think it was the Japanese doctor if I'm not mistaken and they were trying to see like how Ramen was digested. So they created a pill that you swallowed as a camera and it's it stays in your system And like it'll show like how your bowel movements go throughout the week. Okay. Now. How am I supposed to get that camera out? There's only one way out. Exactly.  I Don't know. I just thought it was cool Like man, I gotta go through all of this and I could have just went to that Japanese doctor He could have given me a pill and told me was wrong. You could have went to Dr. Rivera at home And we could have done it. I would have been done already by the whole drive here I would have been done you'd have been sound asleep, bro Right now Dude, it doesn't even feel like I'm about to get like a procedure done It's not even a procedure Yes, it is it takes like 15 minutes like this is crazy. This is gonna be the quickest thing ever I'm about to tell him to do me while you're at it Just knock me out to and shoot down the stomach and tell me what's going on Honestly, the only the only reason why like I do get nervous is just because I don't know this doctor I've never met this doctor. I've never seen him before like to put your trust into somebody that you've never met Is crazy. I want to launch one the other day. He's cool guy Like I'm literally he's I'm gonna walk in he's gonna be like, how do you surgery? I'm like like even with my endo surgery they had to call general surgeon I don't even know who that man was but shout out to you. That was my cousin What I Cannot deal guys. I'm so hungry All right, let's not talk about food right now because I'm hungry to my stomach about to grow I feel it next clip You're gonna see she's gonna be gone All right, and then you guys are gonna be hanging out with me for about like 10 15 minutes So maybe we could talk about like cool stuff like I don't know like Roblox and like Minecraft or something Yeah, we had like a whole heart-to-heart deep-ass conversation on the way here, too Yeah, it was about friends and how they do, you know dumb stuff and why it causes groups to break up and all that But we're not gonna get into it because I still got beef with some of y'all, but um Next clip you I see she's gone. She's on the table already. Yeah first on the table Don't be saying stuff like that Giving is coming around the corner you better get stuff like a turkey This is about to be crazy That's not funny. It's not funny. No, it's not Not long about that joke. All right. Well, this is the first time you guys are gonna see me exiting without tears in my eyes So accomplishments Not sure if you guys can really hear us or not, but there is a lot going on right now We just got called back to this waiting room, whatever you want to call it She's about to change into a gown and this is gonna be crazy. Are you ready?  I'm sorry You with the Jamaican food I had to come get in the car bro because this is too cold wire hospital always so cold Can someone explain that to me in the comment section? Please tell me why hospitals are always so cold I think I know why but I could be wrong. Oh, but yeah guys, so um, they just took her into the operating room I guess if that's what you want to call it where they're gonna, you know Do the camera thing or you know, whatever it is that they're gonna do It's they said about like 10 15 minutes. I used to work in a hospital. I know that that's cap It's probably gonna be about a half hour, but I told him I was gonna be waiting in the car They said that's fine regardless if I was waiting in the car or in the lobby They said they were gonna call me and let me know when she's ready So now I'm just gonna wait for that phone call probably gonna like take a little nap right here And I'll update you guys as soon as I get an update Hello, I'm good you I'm actually in the car right now, so I'm actually gonna walk to the lobby Okay, perfect. Thank you so much. I knew she was gonna be out of it every time She's off the anesthesia guys and she just gets all loopy and stuff like that She'd be saying some crazy things some things that you can't say on camera But yeah, I'm gonna go head over to the lobby right now pick her up And then we'll get the camera rolling again when we're in the car Well, well, well, would you look at who's back? They said what 10 15 minutes?  This is why I don't believe the hospitals. You can't believe the no one Can I tell y'all about my experience?  I just usually wear out my gastritis So yeah guys, um, do you want to tell them what they found? So they told me pretty much that I have Gastritis that they found polyps that they had to remove So they went ahead and did that and they sent it to a lab So I should have my results in about two weeks to tell me, you know more information about that Do you want to show them the pictures? I'm gonna give them a quick glance. I'm only gonna give you guys a quick glance because Um, I don't know if you two might take this down or not because uh, you know, it's a pretty graphic But look, can you stop looking the paper with what's not even taste like your mouth is probably mad dry now Show them the pictures of like the gastritis and the polyps No, I'm not gonna. Well, there's not enough to really see all right guys So that's what the gastritis looks like. It's basically just foam acid. That's really all it is There's nothing to it and this is what the polyps look like. They're really like, I don't know weird looking But yeah, those all got cut out. Well, are they not weird-looking? Exactly Oh my god. All right. Well that they're gone. They're not there anymore.  Anything else you want to say?


Alright, first of our gas law videos and it'll be the kinetic theory of matter. The kinetic theory of matter is used to explain the behavior of matter. We look at what the particles in that substance are doing and use that to explain why that substance behaves the way it does. The kinetic theory of matter, the kinetic molecular theory, tells us a few things about the way the particles behave in a gas. First of all, the particles in a gas are in constant random motion. The particles in a gas are in constant random motion, so they never stop. That's the constant part. And the random part refers to the directions in which they're traveling. They're going all over the place. They do travel in straight lines, so they're not really curving or swerving or anything like that. They're going in straight lines. What's random about it is their directions. They're moving all over the place. One particle might be going up while the other one's going down. One might be even left while the other one's moving right. There's no pattern to the direction in which they move. So we can look inside of a gas. We see particles in there. And that one might be moving that way and that one might be moving that way and that one might be moving that way. They're not all going in the same direction. There's no pattern to the motion in those particles. That's the random part. Because that motion is random, they will collide with themselves and the walls of their container. So this little particle here is heading right towards that wall over there and eventually it's going to hit it. These are inanimate objects they don't think. They don't say, whoa, there's a wall coming. Got a turn. They travel in straight lines. So since this particle here is heading towards the wall, it's eventually going to hit it. These two particles are kind of on a collision course with each other. And if they happen to run into each other, they run into each other. Again, they're inanimate objects they don't think. So they can't swerve around each other. They can't get out of each other's way. If they're heading toward each other, they're just going to hit each other. Now when they do hit each other or the walls of the container, they bounce off. So they'll bounce off each other. They'll bounce off the walls. And they do so in what's called an elastic collision. What that means is they don't lose any energy in those collisions. They just bounce off. They don't speed up. They don't slow down. They just bounce off each other and go different directions. They will be traveling in straight lines when they bounce off each other. So again, after it hits the wall, it's going to bounce off the wall and it's going to go in a straight line in some new direction based on the angle at which it hit the wall. When they hit each other, they're going to bounce off each other. They're going to travel in straight lines in a direction based on how that collision occurred, how they ran into each other. Gases are mostly empty space. I'm going to go back to this picture that I drew the gas. I didn't put many particles in there. And I made sure that there was a good bit of distance between those particles because that's the way a gas is. The particles are relatively far apart. There's a lot of empty space in a gas. A lot of room for them to move around. So much so that the particles don't interact with each other. They cannot attract or repel each other. Think of the interaction between particles like the interaction between magnets. Magnets can attract or repel each other, but only if they're close enough to do it. You take two magnets and get them close together. You can feel a strong pull of attraction or repulsion depending on how they line up. But as you pull those magnets apart, that attraction and repulsion gets weaker and weaker until it eventually disappears. These particles in a gas are so far away from each other that there is no attraction or repulsion. The last thing we can say about a gas is their average kinetic energy. The average kinetic energy is just a measurement and an idea of how fast these particles are going. If they're moving faster, if they're moving slow. This average kinetic energy, how fast or slow they're moving, is determined by temperature and nothing else. So the number of particles that are in there won't affect it. The pressure that are under doesn't affect it. The volume, the amount of space they have to move around then doesn't affect it. The only thing that affects how fast a gas particle moves is the temperature of that gas. When temperatures are high, they will move quickly. When temperature is low, they move slowly. Now, this isn't exactly the same as what I gave you as a handout in class. There were six different points in there. I combined some of those points together in here to make it a little more straightforward so that the related topics are together. But that's basically the same thing that I gave you on your little handout in class. It had six points on it. Everything is covered in here. The idea is as we go through these gas laws, we're going to use these ideas to explain the way that law works. So when we talk about Boyle's law, for example, it's the relationship between pressure and volume. It tells you what happens to the pressure of a gas when the volume of the gas changes. Well, we're going to learn how those are related. What happens when you do that manipulation? And then we're going to explain it with this kinetic theory. So it's something you need to be very comfortable with.


Rainy game in Fauston's the Greyhounds took on the Cast Lake Bina Panthers on the opening drive of the second quarter Greyhounds quarterback Kyle Jacobson running the option keeps the play alive pitches it back to Austin Schmidt for the first down a few plays later Schmidt straight up the gut for the touchdown they lead six to nothing going for two the Cast Lake Panthers defense would come up strong stopping the run on the inside but it was all Fauston from there on out as they win this one from 38 to nothing if you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS
