"From my perspective, religious liberty is one of the most important issues on the world’s agenda today. It’s our responsibility to think of ways each of us can further religious liberty and freedom. It’s up to each of us, in the roles that we individually play, to ensure that our nation, which has been the exemplar of religious freedom and tolerance amongst a diverse population, continues to be so." - Hillary Clinton, April 7, 2005 - Seventh-day Adventist Annual Religious Liberty Dinner The post "The most important undertaking" – Hillary Clinton on Religious Liberty appeared first on ReligiousLiberty.TV - Celebrating Liberty of Conscience.

I'm what they call mixed dominant --left handed in some activities and right handed in others. But not ambidextrous. Not able to do the same things with both hands equally or even well in most cases. Growing up, this made my dyslexia (already severe) even more difficult. The experts said I'd never be able to take care of myself or live on my own. They gave up trying to teach me reading and writing, and so I taught myself. All by myself. With nothing more than an old dictionary and manual typewriter. To college level in less than six months, in multiple languages, by the age of sixteen.

My grandmother was also ambidextrous, having been forced to learn as a child to write with her right hand. She could even write with both hands simultaneously.

August 13th is International Left-Hander's Day. Do you know any special lefties? Or perhaps you're a leftie? Lefties are joined by Tom Cruise, Whoopi Goldberg, Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - just to name a few. Check out these interesting facts about your left-handed friends. Read more at http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Galleries/8-Interesting-Facts-About-Lefties.aspx

Thank you, Naomi. It's good to hear from someone who's also gone through this. Piano I first learned to play by ear. Nothing fancy, but enough to entertain myself and others. Also taught myself to draw, paint, carve, and sculpt. Just about anything. But I still can't drive a car. At least not in traffic.

I can relate completely to your situation. As a mixed-dominant with dyslexia I understand the determination that it took for you to elevate yourself to admirable accomplishments. As for myself, playing the piano was my salvation. Not that I am accomplished but it taught me how to coordinate hand-eye movements. Congratulations MCBGM

Yes. Are all being saved? Yes. BUT, will all be saved? NO. Only overcomers will be allowed entry into the heavenly portals. Rev 3:5; 21:27 Yes, because instead of overcoming evil with good, they let evil overcome them. Being non-overcomers, their names will be blotted out from the book of life. Unless blotted out from the book of life, they can't be lost. But Christ will blot out non-overcomers from the book of life. No man's paying anything already paid for by the Savior. People are already in Christ, part of His Body. Unless Christ Himself removes a person from being part of His Body, he is heaven-bound. People thrown into the lake of fire are those whose names were blotted out from the book of life. But overcomers will NOT be blotted out from it.

I just returned from the refugee camps in South Sudan.. about a week ago. there villages swelled to 2-3 time their size. The stories break my heart. Doing a story on one young woman who was at the clinic in her hometown, all was well, security and food were good, as she headed home gun fire erupted and she fled with her 2 month old baby. She had no idea if her other 3-4 children were safe or killed. She walked 68 miles ( maybe 68 kilometres ) to another village, the people there sacrificed, giving up almost 1/2 of what they owned. The miracle to her is this, her children are safe as well as her husband, they landed in the same place. She thanks God for that. The reports coming back from her previous home, is this, all is lost or burned out. The poorest people seem to give the most. I know this is not the same as the issues in the North American or Europe, the timing was the same for me.

See: http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2016/april/darrin-patrick-removed-acts-29-megachurch-journey.html?utm_source=ctweekly-html&utm_medium=Newsletter&utm_term=16245031&utm_content=430230684&utm_campaign=email The above URL takes you to a short article that discusses the removal of Darrin Patrick that lead pastor of a mega-church., for reasons that did NOT involve adultery. That article also provides a link to an extensive letter which was sent to congregational members setting forth the details as to why Patrick was removed and what was being set in place to provide him and his family with support and healing. Attached to this letter is a very short response from Patrick. Some will probably ask: Why make all of this public? Why should we dwell in the details? Both are valid questions. My response is: 1) There is a time when public sin must be rebuked publicly. Christian leaders do not serve the Church well when they appear to cover things up. 2) In one sense we may not need to dwell in the details. However, a failure to list such often leads to speculation that goes far beyond the actual facts. 3) Public sin may require a public confession. 4) A higher standard may require not only that one face the consequences of their sin, but that one be given the help and support in reform. 5) As in this case, the consequences of one's sin may affect others, such ad family members. They may need support as is being provided. NOTE: Perhaps (?) there times when the SDA Church (and other parachurch organizations) would have been better served if it had done as has been done in this case.

That was very well done! By both parties.

I was ambidextrous in sports. Shoot with either hand, throw a baseball with either hand, hit righty or lefty, etc., and as you mentioned about activities, there are some things I can do with my right that I can't do with my left, and the opposite is true with other activities.

It's been my understanding that lefties are more right-brained, thus more artistic, than right-handed people.

Jesus died for me

She is breathing again!
