I pray one of these will energise you in the coming week. Share 1. Thought I Can’t Shake OffI am looking forward to speaking in Nairobi next week at the African Society for Evangelical Theology(ASET) conference themed “The Mission of God and God’s Church: Missiology in African Christianity.

Urbino, a small city in Le Marche, is famous for one thing: Raphael. Raffaello Sanzio (or Raphael in English) was born in 1483 in Urbino and died in Rome at the young age of 37, already one of the most famous painters in Europe. He was just 25 years old when he was summoned to Rome by Pope Julius II to paint a series of frescoes at the Vatican. There is something about his work that’s hard to describe—lifelike isn’t quite right, I think.

“I think I started going clubbing when I was 14. I remember I made a fake ID and laminated it myself. ” ~ Julia Fox Photo by Stephen Yang Alright. It’s summertime in the city and while we all collectively sweat through our clothes in between beach escapes to neighboring states whose weather doesn’t mirror Satan’s doorstep, we also unfollow all our friends who are posting their Italian vacations. But if we’re stuck in the city for a weekend or two, there’s nothing better than an air conditioned, 70s-Rome-inspired bar filled with New Yorkers in minimal clothing just trying to beat the heat.

On the side of the Pan-American Highway south of Lima in the town of Chilca (Kilometer 63.5) is Helados OVNI, a small ecological ice cream stand that sells Peru’s most famous lucuma ice cream. Selling just one flavor (lucuma, with or without pecans), the brightly painted ice cream shop is named after the Spanish acronym for an unidentified flying object (sightings of which are frequently reported in the area), is plastered with UFO paraphernalia and a dust covered E.

Last winter I answered a few of my reader’s questions about powering an electric blanket from your RV battery and inverter. At the time this was about warning you not to plug an electric blanket into a MSW (Modified Sine Wave) inverter since the waveform harmonics can cause the e-blanket controller to melt down. Yes, those should be safe to power any electronics including electric blankets. As you can see from my diagram, a Pure Sine inverter produces power at least as clean (and possibly cleaner) than what comes out of your electrical outlet.

I have been reading this book, On Being a Master Therapist, by Jeffrey A. Kottler and Jon Carlson. The book is a great resource for mental health professionals. One of their biggest recommendations for a person that wants to become a master therapist is to get better at practicing what they preach to others. That is an important part of being a good therapist, but it is also how we live in alignment as human beings.
