In this very short video on using R for data analysis we're going to use the Johns Hopkins data set of the coronavirus data and I'm just going to show you how to extract information from it and how to do some simple visualizations. We're going to use Plotli for that and just draw some conclusions. Now I'm going to warn you it's based on South African data and I'm just going to use South Africa as an example. I'm also going to compare it to the United Kingdom and to Germany just to draw some conclusions for countries like South Africa which is a month or two behind as far as the case numbers are concerned and how that might translate into what's going to happen over the next two months. Now nothing ages like a YouTube video and I'm going to say that again during the skin cast and you know two months from now we'll know exactly what had happened. So this is not the aim of that it's just a video of how to extract some data and there's lots of ways to extract data from the Johns Hopkins data set and I'm going to show you just one. We're just going to extract some countries and we're going to build a new long-form data frame and we're going to transform our data into there and do some simple analysis the script of statistics at least and some data visualization. So the data that we're going to use is from Johns Hopkins University and they keep it repository. The repository is also available on GitHub and it gets updated daily. Now we've got to be circumspect about this data of course it's not very accurate I think it's the best job that is being done all over the world to collect this data but if we just think locally of course I think in most places there'll be a lot of people that do not come for testing when they are ill and they of course never never registered in the data. There are some seroprevalent studies they are seroprevalent studies right in South Africa and some of them are suggesting a much higher seropositive rate than than the rate of actual positive cases from from swabs and some instances a seroprevalence rate after the first wave of up to a quarter might be even more and of course while we now today very much upward climb as far as the second wave is concerned of course the seroprevalence rate is just going to climb but this is the best data that we have and what we're trying to achieve is not look at the absolute values for any one specific country we're looking at trends and we're looking at comparisons. So you can see the aims here of this notebook is just to show you how to use the R language to deal with the data that you can get from Johns Hopkins at least on their GitHub repository. So this is going to be an introduction we're not going to get into it deeply but there's some vagaries to that data set and you have to know how to how to wrangle the data to get the the answers that you're looking for. So that's one thing just to show you how to use the R language for that the second aim is just going to to use it as a as a teaching resource for data analysis because we are going to get do some data analysis in this notebook and we're going to we're going to use that as a as teaching material how to do how to do and think about data analysis and I hinted to that of course in saying we're not looking at the absolute absolute values we want to see some interesting plots and we want to draw some conclusions from that that's data science. I'm going to also compare countries so this is inherently meant for South Africa and I'm also going to add Germany and the United Kingdom to this as my two countries of comparisons is because those will be two first world countries that I want to compare South Africa to which is most definitely not and those countries bar a couple of million cases people is roughly sort of in the same ballpark figure when it comes to the size of the population and of course we want to express our data per per hundred thousand people or some such some such ratio so that we can compare different countries to each other but if you want to see the comparison with other countries if you use R is Sydney you can you can use this notebook and and just extract some of that data and what I want to talk about and just hop hop back to is the fact that this is data for South Africa and what what lies ahead for us now nothing ages as quickly as a YouTube video and if I have the time and ability Sydney I'll make a follow up to this because by the time you watch this we know you know you would have known what was going to happen so we said right here at the end you saw the date there we said right here at the end of December and you know we're thinking forward to what's going to happen and instead of using in this notebook at least recurrent neural networks as far as deep learning is concerned or other some way to predict the future some differential equations etc to predict the future we we're just going to use what has happened to other countries that are ahead of us in the timeline to predict what's going to happen to us or look forward at least what's going to happen to us the libraries that we're going to use to import into R and remember with these libraries we extend the functions that are available to the language we use the reader a library the plotly library in the dt library so readers can allow me to import a spreadsheet file that contains the data that's from Johns Hopkins and it's going to store it as a table which is easy to manipulate plotly is going to be my library for data visualization because it's it's nice and interactive and dt is just to create nice tables on on an html which is for display in a browser and this document you should see now comes from the markdown file which I admitted into an html file and that's the result that you see here so the data you can see this is the url for johns hopkins github repository as leads as far as where the data is concerned and you can see here the data is in a csv format comma separated values if you don't know what that is remember that it's just a very generic way of displaying spreadsheet data so it isn't a spreadsheet but it is in what we call wide format and we'll see you know there are problems with dealing with wide format data so I'm I've imported the day using the reader from the reader library that we imported the read underscore csv function and then pass the url as a string string because it's inside of quotation marks and I'm passing that to a computer variable that I've called confirmed raw so that's just the raw data as it comes in remember the computer variable names that you use that's up to you just make them descriptive so you know you know when you see that again we've done the line that you know what you were what you were trying to do the names function is this going to give me the column headers the names of the first row in the first row of the data so the the heads of the of each of the columns we all know what a spreadsheet looks like down the columns down that column is going to be this is sort of the same data and what you we can see here the first column states province or state and the second one country or region latitude longitude and then every day from the 22nd of January becomes its own column and that's why this is wide data instead of a long data and long data we would rather have a column for dates and down the rows go all the dates but here the dates are along the columns and so that's why data and we'll have to do something about that so you can see in this data set every day it's going to be different but it goes until yesterday which was the 27th so every time you run this you're going to get a new date if you if you do this your your final value it's going to be different and you're going to have more columns in your data set and we'll have to address that fact and the way that I'm going to do that is the in call function there it's going to tell us how many columns there on the data in the data set as I said every day you do this there's going to be a different number and I'm and I'm assigning this to a computer variable that I'm calling last dot day dot number so that I know sort of what the column value is of the last column in my data set and then I'm going to extract from that the actual date and you can see there this is 12 27 20 so this month day year in that format which is not the format that we wanted in for analysis so what I'm going to do I'm going to extract that very last date in the top row in other words my column headers as an assign it to last dot date the computer variable last dot date and I'm using the as date function so I'm taking names from confirm draw and I'm using index notation here so in that first row which is my column headers the final column in call confirm draw so I could have just said their last dot day dot number because I've assigned that to last dot day dot number but I want to extract that as an as a date so I'm passing all of that as arguments to as date and I'm telling telling R here that at the moment it's in month day year and it's lowercase y because it's not 20 20 it just states the 20 so it's not an uppercase y to say that that is a string and please extract that as a date in the format in which that string is is this little format here and once we've done that we have our last date as a date so let's extract data just from South Africa and I'm going to assign that to computable s computer variable s a and we know the country the ford slash region that is where all the country names are listed and so I'm going to say use index notation again so take the confirm draw data frame and confirm draw dollar country ford slash region and because that ford slash is not a standard character I put these in these little tick marks so I've got to put that in tick marks I can't just use the name after the dollar symbol there equals equals so this is some boolean logic here if it is South Africa please include that in this new variable essays I'm just extracting all that row that contains the data for South Africa and remember comma all the columns so that row specific row that has South Africa in it all the columns because this is wide data now what I want to do is remember the first one was state and the second one is country region and then longitude and then latitude so it's only from column five onwards which was 22 January onwards that we have the actual confirmed cases the numbers so I'm going to assign that to a variable that I'm going to call essay dot cases and what I'm going to do is I'm going to use the as dot numeric function to extract that as a vector so I'm just going to have the list of cases day by day I'm extracting that so I'm saying take what you have to take is from the essay data frame that I have now take row one there's just this one row of data five from five colon last day number so that's from five right till the end and that's why I saved it as last dot day dot number remember that was how many columns I have 200 or 400 or whatever 200 and something whatever the case might be so from column five right till the end so now I'm going to have a vector just of the case values and then similarly I want another list another vector that just contains dates so I'm going to say call it dates and I'm going to assign to that a sequence sq function as date start on the first day end on the last day and remember I saved that as a computer variable last dot date and do that the day by day so I'm going to have 22 January 23 January 24 January right up till 27 December and now with these two vectors I'm going to create a new data frame which is now going to be in long form so my first column is going to be the dates and my second column is going to be the actual values and I'm going to assign that data frame to the computable df and then I'm going to use the data table function and print df to the screen and that's why you can now see we have this in long form so on the 22nd of January we had no cases 23rd of January no cases and this table you can just flick through this table and we can flick through this table flick through it and there we start seeing our first case there on the 5th of March but it's now in long form so I only have two columns the day column to give me the date and an rsa cases column to do that and when I created this data frame right there that's how I got the column headers so I'm saying make a column header called day and pass the dates that vector of dates that we created up here that sequence of dates and create another column called rsa cases and pass to that this list of case numbers that we extracted there using indexing and the as numeric function so now I have a data set that I can really work with and that's the crux of the matter of how to extract that long data into the that wide data into this long format data and this is just one way to do it that's the beauty of our language there are better ways to do this easier ways to do this longer more complex ways to do this there are many ways to do this this is one way which is particularly I think easy to understand so I think YouTube is going to put a little ad right now so if you wanted to take a break now it's the time and I'll see you after the break so let's visualize this data from South Africa we've got a long long format now and I'm going to use plotly so plot underscore l y is the function on my x axis I want from my data frame the day and on my y I want the rsa cases the mode that I want is markers so just little dots the type that I want is a scatter plot and the name I'm going to give it this rsa and I'm using the pipe operator there to pipe that to all of this to the layout function and then the layout function I want title x axis and y axis that's my title that I pass as a string my x axis you can do a lot of stuff to that so you've got to pass those parameters or arguments as a list so I just want to change the title there so I'm giving you the title date and number of cases and then when we draw this to the screen we can see we can see how the cases started here nothing on 22nd of January and I like this interactive plot because every place I hover we can see what happened so there was our first wave sort of come down for a little bit and we wait into the second wave and the last dot there was going to be of the 27th of December where we had reached a million registered cases at least and of course this is all interactive so I can just draw a little square over there and it's going to zoom in and I can also just move it around just to have a look at different bits so I can just really zoom in and of course I can go go back and hit the home button reset the axis and we back to that so it's very nice sort of just to to zone in there on the data that you are looking for and you can of course just export this there as a png file in case you want this in a report so that's it but what we what we want is so this is the cumulative cases what is the case number per day so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my data frame and I'm going to add RSA daily a new column that I'm going to call RSA daily and I'm just going to take every day's case the cumulative case and I'm going to subtract that from this using the lag function so my lag is going to be set for one day so it's just going to look for cumulative the cumulative values the difference between each day so that difference will of course be the number of new cases the next day so that's very easy to use with the dp dp lyr deep liar package that has a lag function and that's very easy to do so now we're going to plot every day's new cases and we can now clearly see the the the two waves and already the the second wave is is out sprinting you know the peak of the first wave which is about 13900 cases and here we have 14700 new cases registered on each day so you can clearly see what's happening there so that's quite interesting enough but let's take a country a country sort of similar population and we have a look at what happened you know to them because we know we're trailing them by by a couple of months so let's add Germany in the United Kingdom so we're going to go through these exact same steps I'm going to say confirm draw the country is that Germany and that's be included I'm going to extract the values again as a numeric vector and I'm going to create a new column to my data data set my data frame and I'm going to call it Germany cases and Germany daily and the daily remember I'm just going to use the lag function again so we get that exact same information made for South Africa we're going to get for the United for Germany as well and there we can see clearly this lag I mean the first wave started for Germany around around about here in March and we started this climb only here in May so lagging a couple of months behind there and we can clearly see the second wave way out sprinting the first wave as far as Germany is concerned and we can see that you know with a couple of months we are behind now I've got to wonder where are we going to go and the concerning thing here of course is if you look when the sort of steady state was reached when this plateau here the South African plateau even with a smaller population was much higher so where are we going to be in two months time that's the big concern and before I say something about that I think this this this plot at least for us for everyone is quite concerning of course for Germany but for South Africa as well and what we do now is just to plot the the different numbers and as you can see quite a quite a scattering there and the reasons for that for for representing the data here in Germany and then in South Africa again clearly a couple of months later and you can you can see also when we went through this phase after the first wave that there were quite a few number of cases per day as opposed to Germany that went down quite far 422 and we stayed much higher still in the 2000s there so that's that's that's very concerning so there's about a 20 million people difference in the populations I said sort of in the same ballpark but it's not really the other problem that we have with this data not only is it not accurate because not all cases come for testing especially we know here in South Africa seeing that the prevalence rate is so much higher than the actual the confirmed rate is that we also don't have accurate numbers as far as the population is concerned we do know that we have a lot of illegal immigration in South Africa with a subset of those people had gone back to their countries to our northern borders we're not 100 sure this is also population data from 2018 so it's not accurate but as I say the idea here is to compare and to look at changes over time so for that we don't have to be terribly accurate with our numbers so what I'm going to do is say population you can see there in German population and we're just dividing that by 100 000 so that we can express the number of cases per 100 000 people and that's going to give us more of a sort of equal pegging and then I'm just adding new columns here with the same sort of scenarios I'm just taking the total cumulative cases and the daily cases and just dividing that by this per 100 000 people a value that I have and now you can see you know we still in as far as South Africa at least is concerned is still in trouble and as much as when we had this period after the second wave much much higher even even normalizing for the size of the populations and of course we can see sort of catching up in as much as our the time lag between the first wave and the second wave was was a lot shorter and we can see a similar thing here for sort of for the daily cases so let's as I mentioned before let's add United Kingdom to this which has even higher rate than Germany and again you can scrutinize this data remember it's always easy just to zoom in on this data and now we zoomed quite you know zoomed in we can also pan around so I can pan around left and right or we can just go back reset the axis and we're back to a chart so it's nice and interactive and again I think as pertaining to those two countries you know what lies in store for us and once again just here when it comes to the daily cases and you can see for the United Kingdom first wave second wave and a kind of a dip and almost a third wave now and we can think exactly the same thing is going to happen now just yesterday as far as the as far as the timing of this recording is concerned we have had the fact that we are back to level three restrictions we had level five which is total lockdown four three two one and as far as level three is concerned well these things are not that precise because what level three was before and what level three is now is a bit different but at least yesterday there were some changes again some new restrictions brought in to try and get this under control now how much of this is due to a virus that is more contagious and we all see that in the reports and we know in vivo tests suggest that there is better binding to receptors but that's in vivo that you know that does not always translate to what happens in the real world and I don't think there are particular studies that really have confirmed the fact that this is more contagious because suddenly we've had gross changes in the way people interact we've all noticed that people have gone on holiday they gather they don't adhere to to social distancing they don't wear masks properly we've seen that change in the attitude and surely the changes that we see here cannot all be put into mutations of the virus we know there's over a hundred thousand I think mutations now identified in this in the virus so where is this all going to end certainly if the changes that were brought in yesterday from this date at least it seems like we're not in for a rosy January and February as we would hope of course the economy suffers from all of this the healthcare system suffers from this and we all fear time when people will come to the hospital and this is no way to be helped I think the reality might strike for for people then behavior Sydney has to be kept in check there on the other hand the economies have to be kept running in South Africa of course there's going to be a gross delay in vaccination we struggle to pay just the deposit to be part of the covax covax is never going to produce or provide us I think with enough vials of vaccination then to cover the whole population so they're going to be a subset of the population and by the time it becomes widely available in South Africa one has to wonder what the zero prevalence rate is going to be you know how close are we going to get to herd immunity before probably by the end of 2021 where we see max mass vaccinations in South Africa and of course this is a novel virus we don't know where it goes I think the prevailing thought is that it would not that the mutations would not lead to a requirement in the change of the vaccine but it is a novel virus so we can't speak with any kind of surety as far as that is concerned what I think from this data at least unless something major happens that the next two months might not be might not the cases case might not be or change in the way that we would hope but that that's going to rise and it's going to rise considerably as people now have been on vacation met with their friends and family and are going to do new celebrations and we'll have to see what January and February at least has has has in store for us I hope you found this video informative if so remember please subscribe to this

Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education, I am Dr. Rashmi Singh Assistant Professor, Department of Education, Mrs. Khanna Girls to be College, University of Allahabad and this is my email ID. This time I am going to discuss with you all a new topic that is guidance services and in this lecture I will cover only two services that is appraisal and information. And earlier to this prior to this I have already discussed with you all the concept of counselling and the types and approaches of counselling, okay? So let's start, guidance, this is a very common paper, it is very relevant and very important because many questions are asked, the paper of guidance counselling is read in BN or in MED, so it is often read in the form of optional paper, so guidance and counselling means teacher's role of guidance or counsellor, that is the second one, you can say guidance or counsellor counselling, you need some training to give this, we have talked about this, but still it is a way of teaching and teaching, so what is guidance? Who will say that it is a guidance, so if we pay attention to the definition of Arbuckle, then this definition was given in 1966 that guidance is a concept as well as a process. They are saying that the concept of guidance is a concept, guidance is a concept, guidance is concerned with the optimal development of the individual and if we consider it as a concept, then the definition is that we are the optimal development of a person, the more development it is, the more it is affected by it. As a process, guidance helps the individual in self-understanding and in self-guidance and if we consider it as a practice, then it helps the people, so that they can recognize themselves and can give guidance and guidance on their own. So, we can understand our problems and take care of them. Cro and Cro said that guidance is an assistance made available by competent counsellors to an individual of any age to help him direct his own life, develop his point of view, make his own decisions, carry his own burdens.  So, guidance means that it is an assistance that helps the competent counsellors, that is, the ones who are given guidance on their own. This is a guidance that is made available to you, so that any person of age can understand their point of view, their point of view, their point of view, their point of view, their burden, their burden in the sense that they are responsible for them. And guidance is a process of helping students to become adjusted to their present situation or educational institution to provide the maximum development for them and to help them plan for their future in terms of interest, aptitudes, capabilities and needs. They are saying that your guidance is a process in which the students help, so that they can adjust to their situation, to their present situation. For example, when they have adopted a new course or went to a new place, they can adjust there and develop their maximum and can also make their future plan. That is, what they have to do in the future. And when they make their future plan, you will have to keep in mind that they are according to their roots, according to their strengths, according to their abilities and according to their needs. If they can make their future plan, then this is the role of the guidance. The principles of guidance. Look at the principles of guidance. The first principle is that overall development of the individual. The person who is a guidance seeker, who you are giving guidance to, should have complete development. Appreciation of individual differences and dignity. It is not that, look at that child, he has so many good, good, career interests, who is your interest, or why his heart is so good, why he is yours, we don't have to do this. Because we know that being a teacher and being a layman, that each person is different from each other, and each person has his own individuality. He has his own individuality. He can be, he should not be, he should be like everyone else. So, the difference between the individuals, we should appreciate him, we should respect him, we should show him in a dignified manner. And concern with individual behavioural process, which we have got individual, which we have to give guidance to, we will be concerned for that, for that behavioural process. Realize on cooperation. And lifelong process. We always need to take guidance from someone, every day. In personal sphere, in educational sphere, in vocational sphere, we need someone, who can guide us. We can tell the actual situation, so that we can take it ourselves. If we talk about guidance services, for which this video is made, it is in your course. So, what does guidance services mean? That in this school, we will provide guidance services. So, what will you give guidance on? It can be appraisal. Appraisal means, we will have to know what is the person, what is the student, what is his personality, what is his intelligence, what is his interest, so that we can guide him, so that he can take care of himself. What kind of vocation he has, what kind of need he has, so this is appraisal. Learn properly, learn properly. Then, information services, means we will let you know, in this video, I have covered the two services on the top, for the three services below, the next video will be shared with you. So, appraisal means, we will first explain the situation of the person, then we will give him the right idea. So, we will give him the idea in three spheres, in three areas, first educational, information, then vocational information, then personal or social information. Means, you get the right idea, you get the right idea, and your personal situation is not about the right idea, it is about information service. Then, placement service, we have appraisal, we get to know what you need, we give you the information, then we will give you the placement, where you have placed, which vocation you can opt for, which course you can choose. Then, counseling services, when the guidance is special, it becomes counseling, you know. And then, follow-up and evaluation services, means you have placed him, then we will see again, that the placement you gave him, the suggestion you gave him, and he accepted it, then it is right for him to follow-up, to evaluate him, that yes, you have given the best placement, you have done the right evaluation. For this, follow-up and evaluation services are kept. So, first of all, after those services, we will cover in this video. So, first of all, appraisal services, or evaluation service. So, 10 services involves better understanding of the client or individual. That is, this service comes from that it should be organized, organized, arranged, established, and interpreted. Means, it should be removed. Objective data. That is, for a person, objectively, you have not put any bias in it, collect that data, organize it, analyze it, and interpret it. So, for a better understanding of the client or individual, the person or your client, the best picture can be presented to you. For that, do this. The information concerning the client, who the guidance program is designed to help, can be obtained through. And how can we collect this information for that? Means, how can we do appraisal? Observation, testing, you can put some tests on it, you can give interviews with it, and you can define that the procedure that seeks to establish a distinctive picture of the individual. And how can you say that appraisal service is the type of service that wants to know the distinct picture of the person. That the person is actually in what condition, then you can give him any guidance. Then, a basic assumption of the appraisal service is that people are alike and in many other aspects different. And one of its main features is that they are alike. Means, some are alike and some are different. Means, we are different from many people, some are alike, but we are different because we are different. The aim of appraising people is to highlight the uniqueness of each of them. And the main objective of the appraisal service is that we can tell the individual that this is the objective. You can do this well. The second aim is to show how people are similar. And the second objective of the appraisal service is to show how people are similar. Another major aim of the appraisal service is to assist people to understand themselves and make wise and useful decisions. And one of its objectives is that the client that you are going to call to you, provide some assistance to help them so that they can understand about themselves. So that they don't know what their role is, what their interest is. We don't know even. Then this is important because many students have a literal idea about their personality. And this is also important because there is very little knowledge about their personality. They don't know if they are introvert, extrovert, or ambivert. They don't know what they want. Because we never do self reflection in the city. So we need to do some other objective and tell them what they want to do. Then principles of appraisal services If we see which services are based on this, the appraisal should be undertaken for the ultimate benefit of the individual so that you can help them. It is not required in the same amount of the same degree or necessary for all students at the same time. It is not necessary that all the students are at the same time at the same degree. No, not at all required. It is not a professional procedure for use in every situation. And this will never happen that we will do the same test in every situation. Appraisal practices involve the study of both individuals and their environment. And in these services, along with the individual, the appraisal is also based on what is suitable for them. Then appraisal and helping individuals should be concurrent and not in the same way. We will also tell them whether it is good or bad. It is not that appraisal is today and you are giving it after 2 years or after semi-anthral because the liking is also changed. So you have to tell simultaneously who should be concurrent. The fundamental purpose of engaging collecting appraisal data is to increase self-understanding and wise decision. The main purpose of this is that we will collect data for you and we will tell you by appraisal so that you can understand for yourself. And it must be properly safeguarded. This data, which you have mentioned and you have learned about it till the very end, you will have to see whether there is any misuse of the data. It is your responsibility to keep the data safe. Then techniques of data correction for appraisal service. Which techniques you will use can be a test technique and non-test technique. You can do it in a standardized way and also in a non-standardized way. So what will be the test technique? These comprise standardized tests. The test technique means that no one has to apply a standardized test. Generally standardized and teachers can also do it. Shredzer and Stone said that most authorities define a standardized test. They will say that it is an example of some aspect of behavior. If you have taken a sample of a person in a non-standardized way then it is a standardized test. The test is described as objective because its administration, scoring and interpretation are not limited to the examiner's own judgment. But any examiner can use the same methods to administer the test, score, interpret and arrive at the same interpretation. They will say that you will believe the test in which you are taking the test. They will not take their own opinion that they will give 10 out of 10 or give 5 out of 10. The test is the administration of how you will apply the test and how much you will give. The interpretation of the test is universal. Anyone in the world will apply the test in the same way and will do the same interpretation. This is the standardized method. The teacher said that the number of the examiner depends on the teacher. There is also a non-test technique with which you can appraisal. Generally, these are qualitative based such as the observation of the patient. You have interviewed him. You have given him a rating scale. You have given him a sociogram. You have given him an anecdote. You can find out about this but this is a non-standardized method. And qualitative data comes out of it. The second service I am covering here is the information service. The guidance is to not think about the service. We will not let you think about it. These services address the individual's need for authentic, reliable, and usable information. Why? Because the person who is your client, who is your student, needs to be authentic, reliable, reliable, and useful in the object. It is a good, adequate, realistic, reliable, and reliable information. At one time or the other, for the actualization of a satisfactory and fulfilled life.  It can be provided by the integrated effort of a teacher, counselor, and a career teacher. The teacher can help the teacher. A counselor will tell you to give the right information. Your career teacher will give you the right information. The main objective of the service is to provide these students with information about the educational and vocational opportunities at various levels. So, the main purpose of this service is to tell you what services will be useful for you in the future, when, when, and when, and what services will be useful for you in the future. You can learn about training related programs, what kind of occupations you can get after studying. This helps the students to be aware of the options open to them concerning a particular course or subject in any of the other areas. If they are studying in any area and they get the information, they will be able to know which list of courses they are getting ready for. Further, the student is also exposed to the world of work, the nature and pattern of work and the skills required for performing the work. And in vocational information, you will be able to tell them what kind of requirement is required in which job, how to follow the work culture. So, all these things are known through the information service. So, if we look at how many types of information there are, then we will talk about two of them. Educational and vocational. Then there are three types of information service. The guidance worker gives you three types of thinking. Shaxshik, Bihavasai and your personality or social. So, what will you get in educational information? It is defined that educational information is valid and usable data about all types of present and probable future educational and training opportunities and requirements including curriculum and non-curriculum offering. Requirements including requirements for entrance and regulations for students' life. That is, education information means that you should study this particular course or curriculum or you will be taught all these things in educational information. Similarly, in vocational information, you will be able to tell which occupation you are studying for, what course you are doing and after that, how you can go to Bihavasai. What is the position, when do you get the requirement, when do you get the vacancy. For that, what skill should be given to you. All this information is given in occupational information. And in personal social information, according to no-re-settling, personal social information is valid and usable data about the opportunities and influences of human physical environment which bear on personal and interpersonal relations. In this information, you will be given information that will help individuals to understand themselves better and thereby improve how they relate with others. That is, this information will help individuals to understand themselves better so that they can improve and improve their relationships with others. So, this will be the information service. There are three types of information. Educational, vocational is very important. Personal social information is sometimes given. And what is the purpose of this information service? To create an awareness of the necessary occupational and educational information. That is, to generate awareness in education and education and to generate awareness to develop a broad and realistic view of the various educational training and occupational opportunities. That is, for many types of education, education, and also for the needs of the children, for the students, and to help the student to obtain and interpret the information he or she needs in making specific plans for his or her future career. And the child, the boy, the girl, whatever the student is for your future career, he or she needs to think properly so that he or she can get the right education, so that he or she can go where he or she can go. This service needs to be more emphasized in the secondary and higher secondary level. Generally, in the middle and upper middle classes, there is a need for this. Because there the child chooses a course, there he or she has to go to a specific field. In the primary level, all the children study, they study a lot, all the subjects study, so there there is so much importance in the secondary and higher secondary levels. Such information is collected and disseminated by the guidance worker in the form of career talks, conferences, etc. And your guidance worker, when will he or she tell you from where you have to think about this? The career talks are available so that you can know that if you have this, then you can go there. This is your best suitable job. These conferences and such things are told. So, you see, guidance services are very easy. There is no such typical technical thing in it. But still, if you do not want to read the right thing, then you will see the things here and there, which ruins your examiner's time. So, the guidance, that is, you have to tell us what you are and what you can choose. And there are three main services. I mean, there are many services, appraisal, information, placement or account placement or planning, counseling and follow-up. But in this, we are talking about appraisal information. Appraisal means that you have the right picture. We will tell you about it. Whether it is a test or a non-test technique, but we will tell you what you are. So that you are easy to take about yourself. Then guidance services, sorry, information services are mainly three types of educational, vocational and personal. The three of them have their own logic. They are rational. In educational information, we will come to know which courses we can offer. In vocational, we will come to know that we are reading a particular course. So, we can get a job. Actually, so that we can make better relations with the people in our hearts. Okay? Now, in this way, I have completed two services of guidance and three are remaining and I will cover them in the next video. Okay? So, thank you and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel Explore Education. I have done from my side.


Welcome church family to our Friday night moments with Pastor David and Marie and you know every week I look forward to seeing you guys I know you guys I don't see you really but you see us and so I enjoy this time together And we have Pastor David and Marie joining us with this as always this Friday evenings. How you guys doing? We're doing good. Good. Good. How how's the week been nice and quiet? It's good. It's been good, you know busy. Yes, we're always busy even in the midst of all that's going on We're always keeping busy. So I We're doing all right You're trying to see the we're seeing it even in like with the church attendance or seeing it It's kind of we can't put a thumb on her or you know like a regularity on it. It's just it's Ebb and flow it seems like you know, I think that people right now John are simply afraid They're afraid. They don't know what to do and they don't know what to believe And I can't help but believe and this is my personal belief, but I think it's correct that the That's part of what the enemy wants The enemy loves confusion Satan loves confusion. God is not the God of confusion But the enemy is he creates chaos and he uses fear and so I I see it as having spiritual components This this Sunday. I'll be sharing on the weapons of our warfare You know, they're not carnal but mighty and God to the pulling down a strongholds casting down Imaginations and every I think that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bring it into captivity Every thought to the obedience of Christ and that's what Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 and I believe that there is a a strategy of diversion and confusion and includes the things we see of violence and fears of disease and the church has a tendency of going with whatever the world says not to say that there is no wisdom in Taking care of your health, of course there is and and all of that It's just that I think sometimes because there's so much so many voices that are shouting for attention and a lot of the believers don't know their Bibles very well, they're not reading them many are not really Not to the degree that at this time probably would demand that they do and In the lack of fellowship the avoiding of fellowship and all the other things I think what we're seeing right now In the church is really a critical moment that not everybody in the church is aware of from rising up to That causes me great concern, but it also reveals to me the the task at hand and also You know the necessity of prayer Because quite a number of people seem to forget that prayer is one of our cardinal weapons and spiritual war And so I would think that some need to remember the power of God the God who answers prayer So what are we seeing right now? We're seeing a flux Fluctuation people are coming some aren't come they come one time. They don't want to come again because of fear sometimes and and I think we're also seeing People's in general Where they're where their faith really is where where the commitments really are And so I don't expect members every member of the church to be here They never were anyway except on Easter. They have their schedules and and I respect the fact that some have to work on Sunday Some can't come on a Wednesday, you know We can't be as committed to everything as we'd like to be and many people would like to be more committed but they can't and I love them for that and God bless them and Those who would be here but can't you know our heart and our love and our prayers are with them But those who who are not coming simply because they're Dealing with whatever, you know, I really pray for them to that the Lord will will strengthen them and make them Make them value the things that perhaps they can value if they took the time to But I especially thank the Lord for the online presence that we do have because I didn't go online so that So that I'd have thousands and thousands of viewers The only reason we went online is to try and minister to our church And so I'm grateful that we have people on Friday who are choosing to watch our broadcast You know and getting to know Marie and me in a different level a more personal level. I like that and so You know, we're we're in that season, you know, but It's you've got to keep our eyes on the Lord and I want to keep looking up, you know, because my redemption does draw an eye And it's drawn near and near We're getting every day closer and closer to that I wake up in the morning I was like, okay Lord, we're one day closer to seeing you, you know, one more day when we're one more day closer You know, I've been blessed Disgusting different topics of marriage with you guys with both of you guys and We've been discussing at great lengths the different challenges that marriages are facing Especially in the Christian marriage We've discussed the dangers in the Christian marriage of neglecting one or the other not respecting not loving one another And and the husband and wife not giving to one another the things that are needed spiritually especially in the Christian marriage, we've looked at that we've discussed the pitfalls that we discussed last week the three different areas it was money pride and and Women right or intimacy intimacy. Yes, and how those are Can destroy a marriage and then we also looked at how do you know when a marriage is in danger? We looked at those in great length. So I want to switch directions a little bit and and want to hear more From you both about the blessings in your marriage, you know what? I thought that was interesting is one of the guys was sharing with me that You had shared something I don't know what it was specifically that you both did and they were like wow We we never knew that about Pastor David and Marie early on stuff, you know And and I think they really appreciated that and we're able to learn things about you guys And so this evening I'd like to ask some questions that are centered on that And I would like first to ask if you both can share about the blessings That have come your way because of your marriage to one another I do have any Well, first of all And I met my husband. I I don't know if I would have been saved That's a huge bless so that in itself. I just happened to be asked to go to a Bible study And I showed up and he was that's when and he began to teach the Bible study for his brother and And He gave me an invitation to go and I thought why not? Oh, I have nothing else to do. Why not and And I I went and I I I heard the gospel that that day and So I wouldn't be sitting here Would you ever thought Marie that going to that Bible study you're gonna meet your husband? No, because I was I was really a devout Catholic I mean to the core. I went to church. I went to come me. I Went to confession and I always told the same sins over and over again to the priest And we had to have Tom, you know, it was just so predictable Just going into confession and all that for me. So it was a routine exactly. It was the routine and I I was empty. I was empty and I and it was the Lord that drew me Because I would normally would have said no, I'm not I I'm a Catholic. I'm not gonna. I'm sorry, but I I Don't want to go to a Bible study, but but for whatever I really believe the Spirit of God just drew me there That evening That's the big blessing that's come well and it became it that evening it began to change my life. I Really heard God's word the Bible we started becoming real Because I never read a Bible. We had a Bible, but but we never read it. It was a big Bible It's one of those big But I never read it so What a blessing Pastor what about for you? Maybe it's even like more of a takeaway of some of the blessings that you've had Being married to Marie that you've seen in your life that can even be counted maybe even tangible in some ways I would say that the iron sharpens iron scripture is very Real with Marie and me Because being of such different backgrounds in terms of our way. We were raised in environment and temperaments Marie has served to be a person that rubs off the the rough edges of my life and has Over the years had the influence on me to to awaken a kindness in me that I always wanted but never really had and She's awakened in me a desire to be not just a a good Christian, but but a good leader There are a variety of things that that you learn from your wife that That idea of scripture that says that to become one. Well, Marie has filled up those gaps in me that that were surely Needing to be filled. I've done the same for her. I would think I've helped her become stronger in some areas and all and And she's made me Through through our marriage want to be on honorable person She's encouraged me to be a hard worker And she's blessed us with children and those children have helped me on a personal level to to learn to express love to others beyond my wife and And all the lessons you learn from raising children So, yeah, the word of the Lord speaks concerning the fact that there are gaps in our life and That we do become that one flesh and And we we do learn from one another and we do encourage one another and So I would say that I know this for a fact in every human being Everybody who's married can say the same thing. I would not be the person I am right now If it were not for the person I'm married to And that's obvious. I mean had I married somebody other than Marie I would have adjusted to her the way she is how she thinks how she feels what she does I wouldn't be the same person. I am right now. I would be a different man Perhaps a woman I might have married could have been a stronger will woman So I'd have had a different way of leading and all so I'm very very grateful for the person God gave me because in in relationship with her I've become the person I want to be and I wouldn't want to be any other kind of person other than I am because of her influence and So, yeah From the day I met her from I can remember the day she walked in I can remember my first impression of her as she walked past me from the door and sat down and and Bits of the conversation she had with her roommate and a phone call that came in and hearing her On that phone speaking to a man who wanted to ask her on a date And her not coming the next Monday because she went out with this guy And then she came back to the Bible study the week after and never left. I've never she has been with me That way since the second week of meeting her. Yeah, so we haven't been apart For all those years John we became romantically interested in one another later But we haven't been apart from one another since then since November Of 1974 it was truly a divine appointment It really was It really really was It really was I was in college. I could have gone different ways in my life I could have been way out there. Who knows? I don't know But it was a divine that that night was a divine appointment and I've been blessed with a man who who took me under his wing and and encouraged me and loved me and and read the word to me and and Has given me children And and in Christ Which is precious And um He's taught me a lot. You know, he is my mentor He has been my mentor all these years And I'm thankful thankful for him I love him No, thanks for saying it I haven't said it in years That's not true You know pastor you you both you said something interesting that caught my attention If you would have married anybody else And you use the example of being strong-willed Then your life more and likely would have been shaped around that, right? But to think that the lord knew that you would guys would be here going almost on your what? 49th year in ministry Next month for me. It's um And I said I started teaching in 1973. Okay, so ministry as a teacher 47 47 years So for for the 47 years that the lord knew that 47 years later in terms of ministry that you'd be both to be sitting here today That he knew and this is what blows my mind that he knew marise Her nature And her in her giftings in her character We're going to shape you into the shepherd for you to be To oversee this And that that that's amazing to think that that god used those qualities from you marie Because when you said that that made I think it. Wow If marie was strong-willed would would would there be a calvary chapel chino valley or would there be Any of the ministries that you had the bible study, you know that started off many years ago What would that would that have taken place? Maybe I would say no And I'll tell you why the only thing that brought me to chino was her Well, you know my my my brother was living in ontario and um I I was only concerned with the one the lord taught me something john Let me share something that might help in our conversation and that was um Jesus was one who was and this is what I've learned from From my studies and all and my ministry life. Jesus was interested In men and multitudes individual men and multitudes He would feed the five thousand, but he would seek out the one lost sheep He has ministry like that right and so for me Ministry was was never was never especially at the beginning about multitudes It was about individuals and so my brother frank got saved and He needed discipling And I lived in norwalk, which is a 40 minute drive or so From norwalk to where he was living in ontario at the time So it was for the one it wasn't for a church. It wasn't for even a girl It was for the one that I came I came for him so I could minister to my brother That's how I still am I think the one needs to be cared for I can't always do that God gave me more than the one So jesus cared for the one, but he cared for the multitudes So there are five thousand plus who need to be fed So he gave them the word he gave them a meal So I've seen that in ministry. I I am more attracted um on on the feeling level to the to the person in need and but I'm thrilled When god gives me the opportunity To speak to the larger group too so Jesus did both He would speak to the one You know to the matthew But then later on he'd speak to matthew's party He would speak to the one and the many and One is not better than the other Because I can as a pastor I learned this to john that I can influence one life Who can be an influencer of many Because as you you've been with me. I think you've seen this Uh, perhaps if not you've heard me speak of it Now I've been at pastor's conferences And and someone will approach me who is a pastor of a church And I get letters sometimes of this nature who will say Uh, you I've never met you personally, but I was in virginia And you gave a mens conference I got saved and now I pastor a church in colorado I've had more than one person say I have a church here or I have a church there It happens fairly often not all the time but fairly often and So you never know who you're reaching you never know, but if you reach one person That person can reach others And so I I am not caught up with the desire to Only speak to the multitudes because in fact all ministry is really to one person One person even if there's five thousand I want to speak to that one person and that's That's our ministry my wife's the same way We can speak to I can speak to numbers of people, but God gave me the ability to make it seem as if I'm only talking to that one person Because that's really what I'm thinking about frankly when I'm teaching it's It's the one person and so Marie and I together That's what we became so I I came to Ontario for one person or my brother But God had other things in mind And that's why this girl here came to a bible study that She wouldn't have been interested in I mean what she's saying is is absolutely The Marie I know and I met She only came because she was invited And nothing else to do and certainly wasn't impressed with me at all She wasn't impressed with me when she came to the study She came just because she was invited It was me who looked at her and knew this is going to be my bride. She didn't have that feeling She just came and met the bible study teacher who at that time was 24 years old You know just a kid just sitting there learning to To communicate and only there because my brother needed somebody To teach him But from there I met a girl from chino A place to me that was foreign because you know those who aren't californians won't won't understand this From a californian perspective But we we who are in LA county. We looked down on sabrina dino county We do we was kind of like po-do you know, it's like out there in the cow country I mean, why would I want to go out to the flying capital of the world? It well it was the largest. Yeah the capital of Darry's in the world So why would I come out here? I mean I have no interest in it. So the holy spirit used the hook of my brother to to help me to develop a Uh presence In this area And then the hook of a young lady whose family is Is entrenched in chino A little chino girl marie's only been out of chino in her whole life For about a year and a half Maybe two at the most when we moved to roland heights and then at my parents house And then we moved back to ontario And she's never really been out of this area that much That's right And I would never have thought of coming here. I mean the wages of sin is chino Before I come out of here, you know, but of course, I love this this area. I love the people here. I love this city and I'm very very entrenched here and I've been given opportunities in the last several years to consider at least the possibility Of leaving this church to pastor another place in other places to in particular come to mind And um It was marie's influence at first and initially Maybe rethink any offers that may come in the future because when I was an assisting pastor And I was told by the senior pastor that I don't have pastoral skills and that Uh That he was releasing me from being an assistant In that conversation I said to him. There's only one thing I do know and that is I'm called by god It's just not here And I resigned and I gave my two week notice and And I now without church and without a ministry And I told marie because I have a love for sound lucid gospel And marie doesn't have that much of a love of course. She doesn't it wasn't in Her background it was in mine that I developed an affection for this the city But I had a friend at that time who was working as a manager in a bread distribution company And I told marie I said I could speak to my friend And he may be able to get me a delivery job Where I can work in San Luis Obispo delivering bread And work in the corporate office there or whatever someday who knows And I'll never forget. I don't know if you remember or not, but I remember you said to me You know, you're not called to San Luis Obispo Marie said that she said honey, wherever you go we go But you are not called to San Luis Obispo Marie told me that and I remember looking at her saying I know we're not because she said you'd be running from something you need to stay where god wants you to be So her influence is Is that deep, you know, because she was right and and and all she needed to do is say what was right And I listened to her, you know, and and here we are now You know, we stuck it out But it was because my brother got saved and needed a bible study And it was because god had a little girl that he had in the city of chino The only thing that would have drawn me to this place at that time And and I grew to love her and I grew to love the city And so I've been very blessed to be able to minister here as long as I have That's amazing. Who who was it that invited you to the study? Was it frank? Yeah, my brother Frankie did. Oh, because you guys had they had worked together, right? Yeah, it's amazing to see all the moving parts that were going on at that time You come in from norwalk here. You're invited to a study Yeah, I work part-time there with a catholic background, you know, you you were just like you mentioned is just ritualistic And then look that's isn't it amazing, you know, john when you think about it I think of it like this And you can say this would live you can say the same thing. I say this with Marie. I say Just one second before I didn't know her just one second before the next next second I met her and my life was changed, but it was one second before I didn't know her I got in a car. I drove to Ontario. I got off the car. I climbed some stairs.  There's then a couple people come walking in here come Joanie your roommate comes walking in and then Frankie my brother had wanted me to meet Marie in the past He had mentioned her to me. He said that he really loved her. He said I wish you could meet Marie You know and he invited her So I don't think obviously he didn't realize How significant this desire he had for me to know this girl was Because he didn't he didn't know that one day she would be Her his uh sister-in-law He didn't know that that's right. He just said I wish you could meet Marie. He says I love her she's like Madeline she reminds you our sister Madeline and and Madeline and Marie hit it off Madeline brought her to faith in Christ So that's how that all worked out. Yeah Just one second just one second. You didn't know you didn't know her And then you did and for me and I've never been without her almost almost since then Madeline also kind of mentioned David to me In a cute little way He'd be a good catch David would be a good Even at that time did you think of anything when she had said that to you? Kind of He teased me he was he would tease and I and I teased him back, but I at first I didn't think anything of it to be quite I think she was attracted to that. I think she was attracted to me. I also know it all Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I had my opinions and I was not afraid to tell you them And I think she kind of she'd give me that look like what who do you think you are? That's true She would do that. Who do you think you are and I'd say, you know And it just we just got along, you know, and she'd laugh at that because nobody nobody spoke to her like that I did, you know And it's so cool to think of it look back and to just to see this to hear this about I mean just the the dynamic of how the holy spirit just really brought you guys together through just and I don't want to say events that were just by chance but Events that were ordained by the holy spirit. That is just one thing and and look that's what fascinates me about this whole thing You know as we talk about the blessings that you have both described in your marriage for one another How has your relationship to one another complimented you both? You talked about filling in the gaps Oh, yeah, I think we kind of touched a bit on that I can speak obviously from my perspective But I'll I'll put words into your mouth and if you want to bounce on and talk Because marina, you know people may be noticing this at this time. I probably should mention it You know marina likes to let me talk He does He does I mean and people may think oh, he doesn't let her talk. No, it's the way we are together She just likes to let me talk and and I can sense when she wants to say something And so that's why I'll just I'll look in a direction and because I can sense that there may be something she wants to say so I would say with marie that my strength My strength of holding beliefs that are strong and being willing to to go to the mat form if necessary She admires that I would say that she she thinks that's something that as a man She also I would say that my faithfulness to her that that she knows that she never has had to Worry about another person coming between us. She never has even my children She knows that there's only one love for me and that's her And that has made her very very secure. I would say that very secure and when she needs someone to defend her You know that I'll be right there. You know, you don't have to worry about it yourself I'll take care of this if I have to she knows that too And she knows that I would I would work myself to the To their end to make sure she's happy Make sure she's careful. I think she knows that yes things of those natures that nature Of course every everything you said is so true Yes, I trust him with everything And our life has been wonderful. God gave us a wonderful life together and gave us children That uh, yeah, we put up with we love dearly Um, it's and grand babies and our wonderful grand babies many grand babies that that Our uh, uh, we're just so filled with joy and in that and uh and being with our family and seeing them as they grow How would you say that? Uh, how would you say One another has made you a better person We're talking about complimenting each other in terms of what you were mentioning faster and and you Marie What are some of the if you could please share some of the things that has made Each one of you a better person from the other Marie's kindness You know when I was first saved I was speaking to someone and I said to them If there's anything I want to become it's kind because Anybody who knew me in in my earlier days would know I wasn't a kind man Direct and unfeeling Direct and unfeeling Um In a way you wouldn't even you wouldn't recognize really. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you wouldn't recognize it the way Yes, the way that I was was very hard Very unfeeling never cried You know didn't show emotion You know just anger that the only thing I'd ever shown that I felt Comfortable with um, but never would show love didn't even know what that meant You know just was very angry Yeah And and I got saved and when I got saved I started saying To god make me kind make me kind Because it wasn't That's direct and mean And I met this girl here If there's a word that I use for her it's kind She's very kind So her kindness towards me her gentleness towards me It's something I admire something I want So that's that's been I think the If there's anything that marie has really influenced me in It's it's that because people will say that I have a soft heart But they didn't know me before They didn't know me before and had I met and married Someone more aggressive that was really much more who I who I am john Very competitive i'll give you an example if I mean um what I mean When I played sports and I played them for years played sports. I especially love baseball But I can still remember even as a little boy playing little league baseball I can still remember that my goal was to be on second base and if you were in my way You were going down All right, that's a fact and I still remember running To second and it was a force play on second And I jumped in the air probably about 12 feet from the base. I jumped in the air And with my knees I slammed into this kid's side And just knocked him Just knocked him over And he dropped the ball That was my goal And I heard the parents In the in the stands Getting upset at what I just done. I didn't have a clue why they were upset. Isn't the game supposed to be one Is an aggression in the on the base path? Isn't that something that you admire? I remember I made the last out in our last game in little league I I grounded out And it was it was it bounced over the over the middle went over the pitcher I still remember I was 12 years old and I was running to first and I was jogging To first I was the fastest runner in in our in little league, you know, I was I was I was very fast And I didn't even run it out because it was going into center field. I just hit the ball It's going it was going over the uh, the pitcher And I I didn't even run full speed, but the all-star second baseman danny Uh, uh young man named danny danny got it He was a good ball player spun and threw me out by half a step because I didn't hustle And I grabbed my helmet and slammed it on the ground And I put my hands on my head. I still remember doing that and I was crying so loudly and I was so angry That the coach had to come and actually take me off of the field and put me inside the the dugout to comfort me Extremely aggressive extremely competitive You don't know me that way.    Let's see what he wants to do Let's see what he wants to do but as for me I'm not going to yield to that competitive because it was there and it was very strong Every once in a while you see it rise up and I'll be thinking And I might even say something I don't Because it it takes a long time for some things to die But if I were to say that anything in me that has changed at all for the good It's been it's been marie's kindness has taught me to be gentle with people To be understanding to listen To care, you know, those things that's what she's all about I mean, that's what makes her love me. She she does that to me You know what I'm saying? She's kind to me. She loves me. She puts up with me And it shows me what kindness really is I would have never known that pastor But I don't see him that in the way he sees himself. I'm not that way now No, no, I mean saw himself, you know, yeah, no, no, but I even even Even when we were first together, I I didn't see that you you always had a care for people Wanting to know Jesus you you always wanted more people to know and and the Lord put you in ministry and And it's just been a blessing. You've been a wonderful pastor to the sheep And um, but you've always been caring Don't beat yourself up What would you guys say and and I know there's a lot of it would be hard to pinpoint just one thing on this But if you can please share some of the things that you love Most about your marriage, I I think we've become one I It takes a while for a couple to become one. I think and I think we're there. I think we enjoy each other A lot of all the time I I enjoy just I can sit next to him on the couch and we're fine You know, we're really content and and I and I look back on the years and And they've been good years You go by fast too fast too fast too fast You're blinking. Yeah, but but yeah, I I feel so safe when we're together when we're Yeah, there's just yeah you know we um God has been gracious to us in so many ways john I mean Marie and I will talk on occasion when in the early days early days of our marriage for us, um You know, I didn't have a car that I trusted in terms of its uh Mechanicals and and I didn't have money It wasn't that we were poor poor poor. We didn't have extra funds We didn't have discretionary funds that we could say oh, let's go up for dinner We just didn't have that we didn't have money for vacations and stuff. I actually really did We had to work towards having even enough money for an overnight thing and when we had more children And that that threw vacations out the door. There's really no way that that we could do that So we learned how to enjoy each other just in the other simple things different things, you know That that really I I would say revolved around just us together and so You know, uh, when we could maybe we would go Some place in maybe a date or something when we could A lot of times it was just us, you know, maybe Spent time with the kids somewhere go to a park or go visit family. You know Well, over time the lord blessed me financially. I started being able to breathe better Now I have discretionary funds that I can use for something different And and also being in the ministry God opened doors for me to go places and do things and as the church grew and as my ministry expanded We were given opportunities to to visit other places We went to israel the very first time we went to israel is 1983 And it cost at that time a thousand fifty dollars to go for ten days Pastor chuck invited us to go with him and some of the other pastors and And so I remember john My daughter ana would have been what mommy about three three minutes I can tell you she was three months And so I could remember being in a In a wednesday night bible study and I just was sitting there speaking as I am to you right now I used to have a handful of people that came to a bible study maybe 30 people And I was sitting there and and I just was speaking I said oh by the way I was given an opportunity to go to israel And I told this small group of people in our church. I said I've been given an opportunity to go to israel And then I got quiet for a moment and it was a sincere just quiet And I said, you know, I feel that goddess Wants me to go to learn about this beautiful land I said, but you know, I've I've never been away from Marie the only time I was ever away from her Was when she was giving birth to our babies. It's the only time I've been away from her I said and that's been like one two days or something. I used to be in away from her I said, uh, that's gonna be hard And I said it like that. What was it about two weeks or so later? Yes Was it david signs who did this one of the people they came up to me They handed me an envelope They handed me an envelope and they said to me pastor We took an offering in that little bible study We're paying for marie to go and we're giving you 200 dollars of spending money When you go for the first time And we took my baby ana who was three months old for her first time who went to israel And so we've seen israel and then we then the church continued to grow and And I've I've been able to take marie to england and to germany and to austria and to spain To egypt and So many can south america, you know, mexico, you know various states So we've had, you know, france. We've we've been together in ministry Throughout many parts of the world japan and And yet with all of that If you asked us when are we the happiest? Oh, the the answer is when we're together You know, wherever that may be whether it would be And in some foreign country, which we've been privileged So much to do Or whether it's sitting on our couch at home drinking our coffee in the morning and fighting over the last suite She will eat she will eat and then I have to I did it yesterday She will look at and she'll say you're really not going to eat this And I'll look at She thinks she thinks No, no, no, we're not talking about those two. We're talking about that That strawberry that that uh, cheese stick cheesecake. Oh cheesecake. Yes.  She's looking at it.  I know what she's saying. So I said, oh, I don't even really want that honey. You can have it. Are you sure? I wanted it. Of course I did. It's good but Being the wonderful man Oh, he sacrificed sacrifice laying down your life right there. Oh My calories But she loves it, but I'm telling you and that's the silly part of who we are we um We don't need a lot of things that people today think they need We need each other And wherever she is home is wherever she is I'm content That's a fact My kids know that they think we're just two little old people sitting on a couch But they don't know that we've got many years of life together That has culminated And it's just sitting together together on a couch. They don't understand that it's it's some old movie I told you about john john the mexican couple and And he's had a rough life. I never even saw the movie. I only saw the end I just happened to turn the channel to the very end and because the scene looked like my grandmother's house It was a home in la but it looked like my grandmother's house where he's I looked at it and I said I've been there It looked like my grandmother's house. And so I thought oh, and there's these two Mexicans and well naturally, you know, I'm I'm drawn to to my own culture in many ways and I see that and I go And he starts talking. He says he says in Spanish. He says Can I have some coffee? And that was my dad and my mom all of a sudden I'm seeing my dad and my mom Cofesito, you know and and mama wouldn't Spanish would say here's your coffee. I saw that I that's how I grew up And so I'm just culturally drawn into that emotional moment But I told maria about this. He wasn't in the room but I told her because He'd gone through a lot of bad in his life a lot of pain And she sits down and they have a cup of coffee together, which is us and which is my parents And he says we've had a good life And she says yeah, honey. We've had a good life and I That's me. That's my dad But that's us We've had a good life. We sit with our coffee and we look at each other It's your coffee. See the problem And I say, yeah It's us John. So when you have that Israel's just A cherry on top of that, right and thank god for it. I've been what 27 27 visits to israel Into india. I've been I've been around the world But I am home when I'm with her And that's what god said, right the two shall become one You know where you live, I will live your people will be my people your god shall be my god. That's us That's us. We understand that that's us And I think that's god's design for marriage For us at the very end as they're going a little old and a little more feeble and And counting each step as we walk down to make sure we're not rolling down Helping each other to walk and That's what it's all about I saw a picture of an old couple who were they're about to both go home to die But they're they were isolated in a room and old old couple 90 something But they had their hands reached out across the room holding hands this old couple, you know, and I termed me. I said that's us That that would be us my children know that that if daddy is going home mama's going to be sitting right next to him They know that same with me. They know that and mama has to stay there And that he's going to stay there too because that's us And that's yeah, I don't know a better life than that. I don't Uh, that's so heartfelt but and amazing too Uh, may I ask you guys just some random questions as we kind of wrap things up? Okay Just a couple few random questions.

Trump outlined how he could solve Russia-Ukraine conflict in 24 hours, after repeatedly claiming that he could end the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours if elected U.S. President again in 2024, former Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump has outlined his plan for bringing about a negotiated peace agreement. Trump, currently the leading candidate for the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination, argued that he has enough influence with Presidents Vladimir Putin and of Russia and Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine to stop the bloodshed. With the right prodding from the White House, the two leaders would see no point in continuing the conflict, he said in a Fox News interview. I know Zelensky very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. Trump told Fox host Maria Bartiromo, and I had a good relationship, very good with both of them. I would tell Zelensky, no more, you got to make a deal. I would tell Putin, if you don't make a deal, we're going to give him a lot. We're going to give them more than they ever got. If we have to, I will have the deal done in one day. One day. Trump argued that his successor, President Joe Biden, is being outsmarted and outmaneuvered by world leaders such as Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and French President Emmanuel Macron. These people are sharp, tough and generally vicious, they're vicious, and they're at the top of their game. We have a man who has no clue what's happening, it's the most dangerous time in the history of our country. The former president reiterated his claim that the Russia-Ukrain conflict wouldn't have happened had he remained in office.
