The captivating story behind the bestselling single in the history of Christian music—and the man who wrote it

NUZZLE

MercyMe’s crossover hit, “I Can Only Imagine,” has touched millions of people around the world. Bart Millard, award-winning recording artist and lead singer of MercyMe, shares how his dad’s transformation from abusive father to a man of God sparked a divine moment in music history.

http://socialcurrentsee.com

But few know about the pain, redemption, and healing that inspired it.

Go behind the scenes of Bart’s life—and the movie based on it—to discover how God repaired a broken family, prepared Bart for ministry through music, and wrote the words on his heart that would change his life forever. I Can Only Imagine is a front-row seat to witnessing God’s presence throughout Bart’s life. Whether falling in love with his childhood sweetheart or mourning his father’s death, founding MercyMe or flailing in the midst of its success, Bart continues to place his trust in God’s plans—plans that continue to surprise and surpass what Bart could have ever imagined.

The ubiquitous Mueller investigation into so-called and alleged Russian “collusion” in the 2016 US Presidential Campaign has some chilling effects far beyond Washington circles, perhaps all the way to main street America and the nonprofit, non-governmental agencies that serve all of society.

“Trust”

Regarding the Mueller fallout, U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned corporations say they are most concerned that the law changes would reverse a long-standing exemption and require their lobbyists to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The 1938 law has gained new fame with the indictments of former lobbyists Rick Gates and Paul Manafort, who worked on President Donald Trump’s campaign, for allegedly failing to comply with it. The charges stem from the investigation of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III into foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Throughout his life, renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson has needed to overcome many obstacles: His father leaving the family; being considered stupid by his classmates in grade school; growing up in inner-city Detroit, and having a violent temper. But Dr. Carson didn't let his circumstances control him and instead discovered eight principles that helped shape his future.

In “You Have a Brain: A Teen’s Guide to Think Big,” Dr. Carson unpacks the eight important parts of Thinking Big—Talent, Honesty, Insight, being Nice, Knowledge, Books, In-Depth learning, and God—and presents the stories of people who demonstrated those things in his life.

Among the ten items archived in this NUZZEL search is a leading story on temperance for what must surely be an intolerant society.

The Trump SOTUS (stands for State of the Union Speech) Tuesday night gave us a telling example of intemperance if you witnessed his critics in the audience and beyond. Few of the opposition party could find anything they liked about the Trump speech, but then again, there is nothing that most in this opposition league like about POTUS 45 in the first place.

However, the SOTUS address came from a man who perhaps best exemplifies one who practices a temperate life. What?

The general theme of these archived stories is “thankfulness.” Most of these accounts deal with the Trump/GOP tax cuts and the boom to the economy provided by such.

Of course, the 2017-18 tax plan is only a framework, with many details yet to be filled in. It would reduce the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent; abolish the alternative minimum tax; collapse the seven income tax brackets, which range from 10 percent to 39.6 percent, to three (12 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent); increase the standard deduction but eliminate exemptions; eliminate most itemized deductions except for mortgage interest and charitable giving; increase the child tax credit; and abolish the estate tax.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said it “very roughly” estimated a $2.2 trillion cost over 10 years. (That’s similar to the Tax Policy Center’s estimate of a $2.4 trillion cost over 10 years.)

All of my former colleagues in the field of nonprofit management and organizational philanthropy should be looking to certain advances in fund-raising progress next year and beyond.

While media attention focuses on famous philanthropists such as The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Warren Buffet, thousands of donors are at work below the radar promoting a wide range of causes. David Callahan charts the rise of these new power players and the ways they are converting the fortunes of a second Gilded Age into influence. He shows how this elite works behind the scenes on education, the environment, science, LGBT rights, and many other issues--with deep impact on government policy. Above all, he shows that the influence of the Givers is only just beginning, as new waves of billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg turn to philanthropy. Based on extensive research and interviews with countless donors and policy experts, this is not a brief for or against the Givers, but a fascinating investigation of a power shift in American society that has implications for us all. ▶ Amazon xNG ▶ REVIEW

The following archive captured our attention as we contemplate our only granddaughter’s newly-embarked daycare situation at age 3. What's amazing is that our discovery raises questions now explored by millions of grandparents like us.

Author Komisar specializes in a thoughtful, individualistic approach to psychotherapy for families and children.

At her Linkedin profile, Komisar explains, “My background is traditional, but I have developed a very related approach to working with people. I believe the relationship between a therapist and patient is very individual and has to feel like a good match.

“You have endless choices of well-trained therapists in New York City which makes specialities and orientations secondary to the relationship and whether or not you ‘click’ with your therapist. I treat a variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors.

“I work with people in life transitions who are at inflection points who may struggle with relationships, work success, and self-esteem issues and setting personal and professional goals for the future. I also treat individuals who struggle with eating issues and other addictions which hinder their development and interfere with their happiness. I have also developed a series of workshops which help parents raise healthy children through a child guidance model.

“By intervening early, you can prevent depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors. in adults. I see parents in my office to help them understand and improve their relationship with their children. and help parents to help their children. My office is conveniently located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.”

Please email me at ekomisar@komisar.com.

THE KOMISAR BOOK, “Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters,” An essential guide for new moms, celebrating the importance of a mother’s presence in the first years of life: In this important and empowering book, veteran psychoanalyst Erica Komisar explains why a mother's emotional and physical presence in her child's life--especially during the first three years--gives the child has a greater chance of growing up emotionally healthy, happy, secure, and resilient. ▶MORE

In other words, when it comes to connecting with your baby or toddler, more is more. Compassionate and balanced, and focusing on the emotional health of children and moms alike, this book shows parents how to give their little ones the best chance for developing into healthy and loving adults. Based on more than two decades of clinical work, established psychoanalytic theory, and the most current and cutting-edge neurobiological research on caregiving, attachment, and brain development, Being There explains:

• How to establish emotional connection with a newborn or young child--regardless of whether you're able to pause your career to stay home
• How to ease transitions and minimize stress for your baby or toddler
• How to select and train quality childcare if necessary
• What's true and false about widely held beliefs like "Babies are resilient" and “I’ll make up for it when he’s older”
• How to recognize and combat feelings of post-partum depression or boredom
• Why three months of maternity leave is not long enough--and how women and their partners can take control of their choices to provide for their family's emotional needs in the first three years

Being a new mom isn’t easy. But with support, emotional awareness, and coping skills, it can be the most magical—and essential—work we’ll ever do.

WHO▶ Let's take a moment to look at the relationships between older adults, their needs, and common interest developments, aka HOAs. For discussion sake, let us identify anyone 65 years or older as an ‘older adult.’ Our HOA community is reserved for 55+, but really, the population here is definitely 65+. Of course, not everyone in that age group has challenges or needs special accommodation, but there are other age-related factors for HOA owners and boards to consider.

WHAT▶ First, it is important to understand that the total US population is aging. California, as we know is home to millions of Baby Boomers, now en masse entering the 65+ category at a faster rate. The so-called Golden State seems well-positioned to handle this aging phenomenon, compared to other states. For example, the state is generally considered to be the indisputable home to some of the nation's best universities and teaching hospitals, so health care needs are certainly covered well here. This reality means seniors can remain in their homes longer without needing to leave for any special accommodation. The abundant, warm sunshine (and the vitamin D it provides) are also supportive of a happy, healthy life. However, there are, certainly, those older adults that will need medical care or other support at or very close to their homes – and not everyone has a family member or friend to rely on.

WHEN▶ So how do HOAs fit into the discussion? Is it really a concern for HOA boards and managers (and owners!) to worry about the needs of older adults when they have so much else on their plate? In short, the answer is probably yes. In California, there are over 43,300 HOAs with over 7 million residents (source). According to official state projections, California’s population age 65 and older will nearly double over the next twenty years from 4.3 million in 2010 to 8.4 million in 2030. This will occur as the huge baby boomer cohort— the population born from 1946 to 1964—ages beyond 65. HOAs already have or will soon have a majority of this age demographic.

WHERE▶ For master-planned HOAs, like the one where we reside, Trilogy Glen Ivy in the Temescal Valley of Southern California, for example, accommodating older adults might be done more easily, with a large recreation center and large staff, than is possible for smaller HOAs without even a club house. Those smaller HOAs can consider these points:

▶ Are there architectural design guidelines that would prohibit or restrict the construction of ramps?
▶ For single-family-detached HOAs, do contracts include landscape maintenance and debris removal for all homes (or maybe just those who might need a helping hand)?

For multi-story condo buildings (say 2-4), is there an elevator? (Yes for TGI!)
If not, what accommodations is the HOA willing to provide for a longtime, but now mobility challenged, homeowner (especially one who may not be able to afford relocating)?
Are the association’s governing documents silent on the issue of the needs of older adults?
If not, what do they say? If many residents are aging, what accommodations are present for emergency personnel?

WHY▶ Beyond what may be available at one’s current HOA, aging folks might want to look at other communities that can better accommodate their changing needs and still permit them to enjoy the benefit of living in a common interest community. One idea is to look at HOAs located near transit. Often called TODs, transit oriented developments (e.g. planned communities built along light rail or a popular bus line) can offer immediate access to transportation and oftentimes other services applicable to the needs of older adults.

HOW▶ We hope this post was thought provoking! If you have any other questions about the needs of older adults and what that means for your HOA, please feel free to reach out to us at ...

▶On February 1, 2017, the University of California-Berkeley witnessed a degrading moment for higher education in the United States. A planned talk by Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos was canceled, after protesters threw smoke bombs and flares at the student union building where he was scheduled to speak. In general, an outright riot took place. ~ STORY reported by Uzay Bulut, a Turkish journalist based in Washington D.C. Her journalistic work mainly focuses on the religious and ethnic minorities in Turkey. She was formerly based in Ankara.

▶Of course, Berkeley is the noted flagship campus of the nine-campus University of California system and, perhaps, the signature location for 21st century liberal indoctrination. And this bastion of education is not alone for so-called "progressive" views, but now as a result of these recent riots on campus, many would assume that the campus is rife with views of intolerance toward those on the political right, or anyone who holds opposite views of life and society.

▶"No one’s safety is at risk from different opinions," Yiannopoulos told Tucker Carlson Tonight in a phone interview. "No one’s physical safety is endangered by political ideas from a speaker on campus, but universities have sort of allowed this stuff to happen, and even in some cases encouraged it." ~ Milo Yiannopoulos: Berkeley riot 'self-defeating for the social justice left'

▶FOXNews host Tucker Carlson concludes: "But what I find so striking about this, is that it should not be a left right debate. Because all Americans, as their birthright, have the right, and try to the bill of rights, to say what they think is true. Period. And yet, I checked extensively, sorted our staff, to find liberals defending you, I found one."

On the eve of the November 8 USA POTUS election, the American public has probably had an overdose of negativity about both candidates. Certainly, neither has done much to limit or erase their lack of trust by voters on either side. The political bomb of the FBI reopening of the Clinton email investigation less than two weeks before the election may still have another chapter to be written post election. That is, the FBI is confirmed to have several ongoing investigations into the Clinton Foundation, revelations of which may make matter complicated for Hillary Clinton and the nation if she happens to win November 8.

From advice on giving in a crisis to expert analysis on complex charity finances, CharityWatch (CW) is a valuable resource for the media and general public alike. Here is a sampling of CW's many contributions to news stories that have been or may be archived in Gift♥WORTH (Blogger)

"It's a public charity, and you have a board of directors with one independent board member," he said. "That means that he [Dwayne Wade] and his sister can make all the decisions for a public charity, so it would be better to broaden the board to represent the public's interest."

-Daniel Borochoff on governance concerns at Wade's World Foundation, founded by NBA star, Dwayne Wade

Chicago Tribune, 07/24/2016

"Very few donors would agree to that high of a fundraising cost. You're talking about other people's money. You're ripping off the donating public...(and) when it's a hot button issue like veterans, they'll give."

-Mr. Borochoff on Veterans Assistance Foundation's 83% fundraising cost.

The Capital Times, 07/12/2016

"Our charitable resources are getting locked away," Borochoff said. "Particularly with the way the economy is, where a portion of the population is really struggling, really suffering and in dire need of charitable aid, it's problematic for us to be taking $15 billion off the table for later."

-CharityWatch's president, Daniel Borochoff on the huge amount of charitable dollars that are annually being placed in donor-advised funds for use sometime in the future.
