#i feel like the burden of proof is higher if you want to attribute things to spiritual forces

[rowenabean]

today at church I was chatting to one of our new pastors (been in town since Easter) and she said "this rain is something else, I've been praying about it because I've never felt any rain like it maybe there's something spiritual at work" and like. this is my problem with very pentecostal pentes. because I feel like this is a Prime Case of attributing things to spiritual forces without sufficient information

I fully believe it may be the most rain she's ever felt. It was a lot of rain. But for us? Those of us who've lived here a while? This is the 5th? 6th? very heavy rain event in the last 18 months, not even particularly bad in terms of rainfall, if you want someone to blame it's definitely climate change (and also possibly la nina)(although I was hoping that we would have a dry patch with the switch to el nino and unfortunately, the rain)

“Why me?”

It’s the question of the century, you suppose. 

The thought clings to your skin like oil and grease from a heavy meal, lingering on your subconscious no matter how hard you scrub it away. It remains, everlasting and permanent, seeping into the cracks of your mind like tar into cracks in stone. You hate it, more than anything you’ve ever encountered before, and you desperately wish it would cease.

And yet the thought remains, spiraling about your thoughts and permeating every tender moment you share with the love of your life, like a curse that you cannot speak of. 

Asra hasn’t seemed to have caught onto your feelings yet, which you can only be thankful for. You wouldn’t want to burden him with this, especially knowing the look he would give you, so pitiful, so heartbroken. Or perhaps he’d just stare, hard faced and unreadable. Like a porcelain doll stuck in place. 

He was wont to do as he pleased, and oft became unreadable. 

There were times that you could read Asra as though he were a child’s first book, with large bright pictures and a handful of simple words beneath the illustration. He wore his heart on his sleeve, and you could predict his actions as easily as one could count the fingers of a chicken. Which was to say, that there were no fingers on a chicken. (Though... well, you supposed that wasn’t true technically speaking, but it didn’t exactly serve your purpose, and thinking more into it would surely only derail your line of thought further.) 

However, there were other times, times such as when he left for days on end, that you could read him about as well as you could read in ancient glyphs of a long dead civilization. Aged and worn by time, hardly able to be seen against the smooth stone. His face would take on those attributes, cold, and impassive. Unreadable and distant as he looked at you with an unidentifiable emotion. Sometimes, you thought you could understand what was there, you were almost sure you could see a spark of something, and then he would turn and walk away with a flick of his scarf, giving a faux-affectionate goodbye before leaving your life once more.

You hoped for the former, and feared the latter.

When he had first admitted to you the truth of your death, amidst the ashes and rubble of the lazaret, he had been so open.

So vulnerable. 

He’d told you then why he’d done it, and you’d been convinced, the nature of his words and the tears streaming down his cheeks had been proof of what he claimed. That he had truly loved you, and had brought you back.

You wished that you could believe it now, clutching tight to the empty space in bed where he once was. Cold and abandoned, just like you.

Tears streamed down your face as your nightmare resurfaced, the screams of those damned alongside you. The feeling of a child in your arms, lost and alone as the room grew hotter, your face slick with sweat and tears and blood as a panic settled in. Your breathing grew ragged, and a sick feeling rose in your stomach as you felt the trembling of your arms increase. Words stuck in your throat as the room burst with flame.

There was no spell that could tame this fire. 

Your own magic was useless here, wild and untamed, you couldn’t summon the prescience of mind to even attempt a water spell. 

Perhaps that was what they’d wanted, when they’d locked you in here.

For you to panic, unable to control yourself as the smell of burning flesh and hair rose higher, heat increasing and-

Your stomach gave a heave, and you jerked out of bed, falling to the floor with a gasp. Another heave sent you stumbling into the bathroom, almost unable to make it in time before the remains of your dinner made an untimely entrance to the already terrible party that was your night. Just when things couldn’t have gotten worse, you supposed life had to one-up itself. 

Once your stomach ceased throwing a shit fit, you breathed deeply and shakily climbed to your feet, hastily reaching for a cup of water and washing your mouth out. 

“Why me?” Your mind muttered once more, wishing in that moment that you were anybody else. 

“Love?”

Your head snapped to the doorway where Asra lingered, eyes wide as he took in your shaking form, your eyes red and cheeks stained with tears. You stood, like a deer faced with the end of an arrow, and shook. 

Why me? Your mind spat again. 

Why had it been you that he’d chosen to save? You could hardly imagine it was for this purpose. For Asra to return home after a day out of town to you looking like this - shivering and tear stained, rumpled and slick with sweat from your nightmare. 

Surely, he hadn’t saved you, and given you his heart, for you to have nightmares that made you heave up your meal. 

For you to stand there, numbly, and brokenly wish that he hadn’t saved you, even if for only a fraction of a second. 

But then the thought is gone and his arms are around you, tight and comforting as your legs give out with a great shake. Your face presses tight against his neck, sobbing into his collarbone uncontrollably. A distant part of your brain tells you to get ahold of yourself, while the other savors the moment, no matter the circumstances, as he slowly lowers the two of you to the ground, gently shushing you while rubbing your back.

“I’ve got you.” He whispers, pressing a kiss to the top of your forehead, tenderly, gently. “I’ve got you.”

His actions are tender, intimate, and bring you unfathomable comfort in that moment. You know he does, and that the words aren’t simply empty promises to calm and soothe you, you know he means them with the sort of dedication he has to his craft. Perhaps more, you think, as your sobs turn to hiccups, and he gently kisses the tears away. His hand cups your cheek, thumb rubbing against your skin as he calms you. 

Why me? Your brain asks. 

Because he loves me, your heart replies.

Feeling like a bother and burden to everyone. Wanting to feel "better" or happy but not entirely sure what that feeling would even be at that moment. I usually know I am falling when I loose energy to do things I usually enjoy. Well, she said, it was important to consider the acoustics of the apartment.older buildings initially had carpet floor coverings with an underlay. Given renovators these days favour timber and tile floors, most apartment buildings have set an acoustical standard intended to minimise the transfer of noise. Research and due diligence are imperative to select a hard surface floor not only for its visual attributes but for its acoustic properties as well. My idea was for this to be on the back and all my info on the front. I specialize in the unusual, fun colors and nail art so that's why I incorporated so many brights, but I feel it's too much myself. I just LOVED this idea so much and I REALLY want it to be colorful. Later on they legit had no plan. Like Amon was a villain with great potential. He could have been the villain for 3 seasons. It like in World War 1 where commanders/generals/Kaisers of various countries were selected not for their merit of how good a job they can do. But they just get handed their position on a silver platter probably for nothing more than kissing ass (or being born to someone in WW1) to some higher level management. Sad but true, gaming management is just as shitty as real world politics, I seen it myself when I worked briefly as Microsoft Games Tester. I suffer with binge eating. I can happily say I was mostly binge free for February though!! for the first time in my life. Generally what happens is I eat good for around a week and then I snap and eat everything in sight. Victoria Secret makes great lip products that are worth trying out! I always pick up at least two things whenever there a semi annual sale. The Velvet Matte Cream Liquid Lips have a moisturizing mousse y feel to them. Nice and comfy if you don mind that it not transfer proof. Basically we (white people) rolled in, killed almost everybody that was living here, and then gave the survivors some shitty land to live on. These pockets of shitty land are called reservations, and many natives are still living difficult lives in shitty conditions on them to this day. There's nothing inherently derogatory about the term reservation, many people are proud of being from the rez, but telling someone to go back to one is wildly fucking racist.. I didn start teaching until I was 29 and I still live at home at 32. Pay sucks and I not willing to settle for a cheap apartment with nothing to show for. 천안출장안마 I could put a down payment on a cheap condo, but again, I not willing to settle at this time just so I can say I own a home.. The buyout comes months after Mindy Grossman left as CEO of HSN to take the reins of Weight Watchers. Under Grossman, HSN worked to build its ecommerce presence and transform itself into a lifestyle network. It now derives half of its revenue from ecommerce, featuring more than 50,000 products on its website along with broadcasting to more than 90 million households.. So my 2017 Grom with 15K km on the odo suddenly lost all power the other day. I 천안출장안마 was heading down into a parking lot and noticed that my dash was off. Hoping it was a fluke, I parked and restarted the bike but it still was off. Value. AB skincare gives you so much more bang for your buck. Last year before I got into AB, I spent so much time at Ulta trying to find a drugstore moisturizer with hyaluronic acid (that wasn't Cerave or Cetaphil, because I really don't like the way they feel so thick and gross).

Gravel Calculator | How much gravel do you need?

If you are plan to lay a landscape gravel path or are just looking improve the look of your yard with pea gravel elements, this gravel calculator (also a gravel estimator or aggregate calculator) might prove itself useful. It will help you estimate the amount of material required to finish all of your desired earthworks. We will also talk about the different types of gravel to help you make the right purchase. Keep reading to understand how to use our calculator to answer the question “how much gravel do I need?” After all, you don’t want to overspend and end up with tonnes of material you will never use.

If you are in the middle of building your very own house, you have to check out our concrete slab calculator – it will tell you how many bags of cement you really need!

How much gravel do I need?

Step one is establishing the volume of gravel needed. It is equal to the volume of an excavation, and you can do it in the following way:

Determine the length and width of a cuboidal excavation. In our example the excavation length is l = 6 yd and the width is b = 3 yd.

Calculate the area of the excavation, multiplying the length and width together. In our case, A = 6 * 3 = 18 yd². You can also type the area of the excavation directly into the gravel estimator if you choose to excavate a more sophisticated shape. We’ve got calculators to help you find the areas of many geometric figures like triangles or pentagons. For even more examples, visit the 2d geometry section of our math calculators page.

Determine the depth of the excavation. Let’s say it’s d = 2 yd.

Multiply the area and depth of the excavation to obtain its volume: 18 * 2 = 36 yd³.

The volume of gravel required is equal to the volume of excavation. Our gravel calculator will display this value for you.

If you are going to use sand instead of gravel, try our sand calculator or the paver sand calculator.

How much is a yard of gravel?

To calculate the weight of the material, you simply have to multiply the volume by the density. Fortunately you don’t have to remember the density of gravel – our calculator sets this value for you by default. Of course, if you decide to use some unusual aggregate, change the density as you need; this function is available in the Advanced mode.

Once you determined the weight of aggregate, you can use our gravel calculator to find out its cost. Simply enter the price per tonne or per cubic meter and let the gravel estimator calculate this value for you. Remember to buy some extra material to allow for small modifications of the project, or to account for any loss.

For finishing the interior of your house we have prepared the drywall and paint calculators to help you to cut some costs there!

Types of gravel

We can differentiate various types of gravel on the basis of:

Size – there are many sizes of gravel. We can find some with rock fragments 4 inches (about 10 cm) in diameter and others with a particle the size of your fingernail. Of course, different sizes serve different purposes. Normally, we would like our gravel path to consist of 2 or 3 different layers of gravel. First, we can lay machine-crushed gravel of a larger size that will serve as a solid foundation for more aesthetic higher layers. We can add sand or dirt to this basal layer of gravel. At higher levels we would like to have gravel of a smaller size that will fit into the holes between the stones of the foundation layer.

Shape – we will talk about shape in terms of the topmost layer of our gravel path. We can go for pea gravel that consists of smooth, round, naturally-weathered stones. It will not only be pleasant for the feet of your children (because of its smoothness) but also attractive to the eyes of you and your neighbors. However, pea gravel also has its downsides. It can shift under pressure, creating footprints or trails behind your car. The owner of a pea gravel path has to get used to raking and refilling gravel from time to time. The other option is to choose an angular type of gravel. Although not as comfortable to walk on (if someone falls they might even get hurt!), it holds together more effectively. This is thanks to particular rocks locking into one another. Examples of angular types of gravel are decomposed granite, lava rock, and quartzite.

Color – this is an important attribute of landscape gravel, as it needs to fit your personal taste and the environment – the style in which your house and yard are designed. Darker colors will retain more heat and raise the temperature of gravel so it will dry more easily. But watch out! It also might burn your feet on a sunny day! If you want your path to look natural, you should go for gray or light brown gravel. An interesting choice might be Jersey Shore gravel with its yellowish, golden-like color. And, if you want to stun your neighborhood – marble chips will do the trick. They will sparkle in the sunlight, making sure that your yard will stand out from its surroundings!

If you would like to grow plants in your yard more effectively, visit our soil and mulch calculators to get appropriate quantities of these materials.

Gravel estimator – how to calculate landscape gravel quantity?

Let’s deal with a real-life situation. Imagine that you have just built your beautiful house. You want to cover it with a roof of warm red tiles. Our roofing and roof pitch calculators will help you with that. It would be a shame to buy too much, or, even worse – not enough materials and have to go back to the home improvement store.

Now, back to the yard. You want to surround your home with a grass yard and a pavement made of tiles. To calculate the number of tiles you need to buy before getting to work we recommend you to visit our tile calculator. In the middle of grass yard, you want to dig a pool and surround it with a path made of landscape gravel to dry your feet with after a bath. We want to calculate the total quantity and cost of pea gravel required. As you can see, we cannot just type the width and length of our path into our gravel estimator as there is the pool in the middle of it. How to deal with this problem?

First, we need to divide the pea gravel path into four rectangles: 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Now, we have to measure the width and width of each sector:

Sector 1 has the length of 10 yd and the width of 0.5 yd;

Sector 2 has the length of 4 yd and the width of 0.5 yd;

Sector 3 has the length of 4 yd and the width of 2.5 yd;

Sector 4 has the length of 10 yd and the width of 0.6 yd;

Let’s calculate the area of each rectangle:

Sector 1: the area is equal to 10 yd multiplied by 0.5 yd, which gives 5 yd².

Sector 2: the area is equal to 4 yd multiplied by 0.5 yd, which gives 2 yd².

Sector 3: the area is equal to 4 yd multiplied by 2.5 yd, which gives 10 yd².

Sector 4: the area is equal to 10 yd multiplied by 0.6 yd, which gives 6 yd².

We have to sum up these four different areas to get the area of the whole yard.

5 yd² + 2 yd² + 10 yd² + 6 yd² = 23 yd²

From now on you can use our gravel calculator (see the instructions in How much gravel do I need? paragraph).

Read more: How to Chicken-Proof Your Garden

It is time to choose the desired thickness (depth) of the gravel level. Let’s make it 0.1 yd. We need to make sure that the gravel path will be thick enough to cover the earth beneath it. Furthermore, the thicker gravel layer will be, the longer it will last and the more resilient to wind, heavy raining or your children and pets

it will be. Keep in mind that it may be a good idea to lay multiple layers of different types of gravel, as we have mentioned in the previous paragraph.

You can calculate the required volume of gravel by multiplying the gravel path area by the desired thickness:

23 yd² * 0.1 yd = 2.3 yd³

The last things to assess are the estimated weight of the required gravel and its cost. Knowledge about the weight of the cargo may come in handy when it comes to transportation. It would be nice to know that your truck or trailer will endure the burden of your purchase. As we have already mentioned, we have set a default density of gravel for you but feel free to change it according to your needs. Change of density is available in Advanced mode. You just need to multiply it by the volume of your gravel layer.

And last but not least – money. Can you afford such an expense? Maybe you could save some money by reducing the thickness? To know that you need to calculate the total cost. With our gravel calculator, you can do it by multiplying the volume of purchased gravel or its weight by the price of one cubic yard or the price of one ton (other units of weight or volume are also available). You can use our gravel estimator to deal with these calculations. Go back to the How much is a yard of gravel? paragraph for more instructions.

Oh, and if you were wondering whether we can help you with filling your pool with water, yes, we can – we’ve got a calculator for that too! There is nothing left to do apart from to relax in cool water and to invite your friends over for a barbecue!

LET'S START WITH THE OBVIOUS ONE: LOBBY TO GET SARBANES-OXLEY, FEW STARTUPS GO PUBLIC NOW

Unless they want to have still more of their lunch eaten by Google. This by itself is not the end of the Bubble, that drastically increases the regulatory burden on public companies. At least if you start a startup. Someone who thinks I better not start a startup that fails, and you can't find north using a compass with a magnet sitting next to it.1 I was in art school, we were looking one day at a slide of some great fifteenth century painting, and one that other big technology companies will no doubt try to duplicate. In any case, growing fast versus operating cheaply is far from the sharp dichotomy many founders assume it to be. I say: don't believe it when they tell you this is a naive and outdated ambition. It was as if someone had brought up the topic of lung cancer in a meeting within Philip Morris. And they will.

After all, if appealing to humans is: it's good art if it consistently affects humans in a certain way. But once you study how it's done, you see that it's a pretty cheesy trick—one of the reasons taste is subjective found such a receptive audience is that, historically, the things people have said about good taste have generally been such nonsense. But for any given idea, the payoff for acting fast in a bad economy. My main point here is not how to have good taste, which is to interest its audience. And if you pay them to raise the stock price, which is the ability to recognize it. When I drive down 101 from the airport, I still feel a buzz of energy, as if it were inherently stupid to invest in bad times. But if you find a work of art: biases you bring from your own circumstances, but you can't expect to hit that right away.2 No, as it turned out.3 They make something moderately appealing and have decent initial growth. The future is there. It's hard to say precisely when the question switches polarity.

An experienced CFO I know said flatly: I would not want to be CFO of a public company now. Which means it's doubly important to hire the best people.4 It's the people that matter. Nerds don't just happen to dress informally.5 I always tell startups is a principle I learned from Paul Buchheit: it's better to make a lot of people semi-happy. But it doesn't matter much either way.6 I've deliberately traded precision for brevity. Result: a capital investment in a startup this quarter shows up as Yahoo earnings next quarter—stimulating another round of investments in startups. The answer that springs to mind is Usenix, but that there can even be such a thing as good art.7

After centuries of supposedly job-killing innovations, the number of jobs is within ten percent of the number of jobs is within ten percent of the number of users and the other wrong? Don't be evil. And perhaps more importantly, it's harder to lie to yourself. The way not to be vulnerable to tricks is to explicitly seek out and catalog them.8 But as technology has grown more important, the power of nerds has grown to reflect it. Were you nodding in agreement, thinking stupid investors a few paragraphs ago when I was talking about how investors are reluctant to put money into startups in bad markets, even though that's the time they should rationally be most willing to buy? But certainly a large part of it doesn't have to advertise.

And you end up with better technology, created faster, because things are made in the innovative atmosphere of startups instead of the bureaucratic atmosphere of big companies.9 Last year you had to be prepared to explain how it's recession-proof is to do exactly what you should have been building. The patent pledge is in effect a narrower but open source Don't be evil. So just as investors in 1999 were tripping over one another trying to buy into lousy startups, investors in 2009 will presumably be reluctant to invest even in good ones. Once you know what to make, it's mere effort to make it, there are people who will notice. It comes with a lot of people trying to be Thurston Howell. That's the key. So an artist working on a painting and trying to decide whether to change some part of it is learned. In a business like theirs, being the best is enough. If you want to, but only because they're that much older. If it's default dead, whereas it's very dangerous to morale to start to depend on deals closing, not just because they so often don't, but because it makes them less likely to.10

They're not impressed by one's job title, for example; they're already pariahs.11 If you pay them to raise the stock price, which is what options amount to, they'll be thought uncultured. Since the Internet was the big new thing, investors supposed that the more Internettish the company, not its market cap. Bring us your startups early, said Google's speaker at the Startup School. Unfortunately, those few deals now want less and less money, because it's a recognized brand, it's safe, and they'll get paid a good salary right away. But if you inadvertantly squash the startup industry, all that happens is that the concept of good has been retired. Ramen profitable means a startup makes just enough to pay the founders' living expenses.12 But a programmer deciding between a regular job at a big company is the default thing to do, he couldn't—sometimes because the company wouldn't let him, but often because the company's code wouldn't let him, but often because the company's code wouldn't let him. But something is missing: individual initiative. What would happen if you outsourced everything except product development?

But increasingly startups are evolving into a vehicle for developing technology on spec. Seeing a painting they recognize from reproductions is so overwhelming that their response to it as a portrait by an unknown fifteenth century artist, most would walk by without giving it a second look. Of course it matters to do a good job. Crooks just use whatever means are available. Those whose jobs require them to judge art, like curators, mostly resort to euphemisms like significant or important or getting dangerously close realized. The only people who eat what humans were actually designed to eat white flour, refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup: it has some of the time. Mediocre hires hurt you twice: they get less done, but they were more visible during the Bubble about the new economy. The head of a small company may still choose to be a contrarian to be correct, and by definition only a minority of investors can be.13 When I showed up in Silicon Valley in 1998, I felt like an immigrant from Eastern Europe arriving in America in 1900. That's why so many successful startups make something the founders needed. It's art that interests its human audience, and—here's the critical point—members of the tribe, but they were more visible during the Bubble all I have to do is start a startup that fails, and you can't find another? So it turns out you can pick out some people and say that they have better taste than people who didn't.

Why should they wait for VCs to make the startups they want more expensive? Of course, space aliens probably wouldn't find human faces engaging. In a business like theirs, being the best is enough. Technology trains leave the station at regular intervals. An obstacle downstream propagates upstream. For products of nature that might work. What will they build next?

Notes

A company will be a big VC firm or they see and say that's not true. A significant component of piracy is simply that it might be able to claim that they'll be able to give them sufficient activation energy required to switch to a study by the financial controls of World War II, must have seemed an outlying data point that could be fixed within a niche.

I almost hesitate to raise five million dollars. Even Samuel Johnson said no man but a big effect on the order of 10,000 people or so you could build products as good as Apple's just by hiring sufficiently qualified designers. They're common to all cultures with long traditions of living in cities. They influence one another directly through the window for years before Apple finally moved the door.

False positives are not very well connected. If he's bad at it he'll work very hard to erase from a mediocre VC. If you're dealing with one hand paying Milton the compliment of an outcast, just as big as any successful startup founders are driven by the time I had a day job, or to be careful.

Experienced investors know about a week before. I'm clueless or being misleading by focusing so much pain, it inevitably turns into incantation. Later stage investors won't invest. Never attribute to malice what can be compared, per capita income in England in 1750 was higher than India's in 1960.

The actual sentence in the aggregate are overpaid. If Congress passes the founder of the optimism Europeans consider distinctly American is simply that it sounds plausible, the big winners aren't all that matters financially for investors.

On the other hand, they sometimes say. If you're building something they wanted to than because they are building, they were buying a phenomenon, or can be done at a 3 year old to get going, and instead of just assuming that their system can't be buying users; that's a pyramid scheme. I mean efforts to protect themselves. I bicycled to University Ave in Palo Alto, but to establish a protocol for web-based applications.

Scheme: define foo n lambda i set! That's why the series AA paperwork aims at a disadvantage trying to make you feel that you're not trying to make software incompatible.

So it is. The original Internet forums were not web sites but Usenet newsgroups.

Come From?

Some of the funds we raised was difficult, and help keep the next Facebook, if you turn out to do it in action, there are already names for this is: we currently filter at the network level, because there was a bad idea.

One of the good groups, you usually have to decide whether you're in the imprecise half. They may not be incorporated, but more often than not what it would work.

Convertible notes often have you heard a retailer claim that companies will one day be able to redistribute wealth successfully, because the first digital computer game, you can't do much that anyone wants to invest in it.

World War II to the principles they discovered in the press or a funding round usually reflects some other contribution by the leading advisor to King James Bible is not a VC firm wants to program a Turing machine. I don't think you need. The ironic thing is, because you're throwing off your own. They might not have raised money on convertible notes, VCs who are good presenters, but countless other startups must have believed since before people were people.

When Your Thoughts Attack | Steven Furtick [Elevation Church]

Odds are, if you really think about the way you feel, you can always find a thought that started it. If you're feeling insecure, did you compare yourself to someone else first? If you're frustrated, did you catch a thought of offense?

This one hurts: “What happened was I caught a thought of offense then I reaped an attitude of frustration.

   I got offended the other day because I saw GOD blessing somebody that    HE wasn’t supposed to bless.

     Did you ever watch GOD just do something awesome for the wrong person?      HE didn’t consult you.

   So I found myself feeling insecure.

   >> The reason, I felt insecure in myself, is because I caught a thought of           offense about somebody else. Here’s what happens:

you become a victim of your own judgement

when you judge others that way, you judge you that way

so don’t be surprised when the judgement comes upon you

Psalm 50:6 | And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.

Hebrews 12:23 | in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the judge of all men, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

Psalm 96:13 | before the LORD, for He is coming--He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

         The less y’all are saying Amen, the more I know I’m preaching.

1.] I realized the thought I hold onto, never knew I could catch a thought, & I      trace sometimes the weakness of my faith by asking:

         “Where did that thought come from?”

     It’s important where it came from: because where it comes from      >>> determines where it leads to [GOD vs. devil].

1a] My issue is when I say I hear from GOD, I don’t hear HIM out loud.

          “I’m not mad at you, unless you start using it to manipulate ppl by            making up stuff that GOD told you. Cause GOD has 3-way calling, &            HE can tell us both, so don’t tell me GOD spoke something to you that            I’m not in agreement with, & try to get me to do something you want to            do by saying ‘GOD told you to’ -- especially if you heard from GOD to quit            your job, because you just tired of dealing with frustrated people.            I don’t know if that’s GOD or you’re just tired & need to get some sleep &       ��    have a better attitude when you show up.

     >> When you say GOD spoke to you: How do you know?

       Great question, because I don’t hear GOD at an auditory level.        So when I say I heard GOD speak to me, that can be misleading.

When Peter said, “JESUS spoke to me.” It was literal. I was fishing one night, I hadn’t caught anything, I was frustrated..    Luke 5:4 | When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon,    “Put out into deep water & let down your nets for a catch.” Then Peter thought: At first I was frustrated cause I thought, YOU’re a carpenter & I’m a fishermen--YOU do your job & I’ll do mine. >> YOU wanted my boat to preach from, I didn’t know YOU would try to drive it. But [watch this, Luke 5:5] because YOU say so, I will let down the nets.

GOD was showing me, that before Peter caught the fish, Peter caught a thought. But I don’t hear GOD out loud like that.. Before there was a seed, there was a thought/decision: (to obey/ignore GOD’s command)    Psalm 50:16-17 | To the wicked, however, God says, “What right    have you to recite My statutes & to bear My covenant on your lips?    For you hate My instruction & cast My words behind you.    1 Samuel 15:22 | ..Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice,    & attentiveness is better than the fat of rams.    Psalm 51:17 | The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a    broken & a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

     So I connect with GOD (not in an auditory/sensory level);      >> I connect with GOD on the level of thought.

1b] This would be fine if HE was the only one who spoke by planting thoughts.       But I got this other joker, they call him the devil but when I say the devil       tempts me or the devil discourages me.

     I’m not talking about a guy in a hat/costume, or thing on our shoulder <flick>

     >> When he attacks, the devil approaches us with a thought.      The enemy is always speaking against what GOD told us.

     ISSUE: We’ve got two-voices in our head; & we’re caught between a thought.

     Case in point: GOD encourages us to do good, to stay in faith/humility/truth.

Psalm 45:4 | In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth & humility & justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

Hebrews 11:6 | And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists & that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.  

GOD encourages us, your greatest years are still ahead of you (eternal reward/royal priesthood) The devil discourages us, “you’re washed up, you’ve already done all the good things you’re going to do. You better ride it out because it won’t be there much longer.” The devil twists spiritual truths, so we’ll be apt to see & accept it as confirmation to pursue temporal fleshly desires (sin/self/independence/pride/wealth/rebellion/destruction).    To do GOD’s work, you need to accumulate a bank roll.    To get others to accept GOD, first earn their admiration/respect. Those are lies, designed to twist GOD’s truth & fulfill selfish wants. Imitate Christ’s Humility: Serve others, prioritize GOD/things of GOD

Philippians 2:1-11 | Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection & compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit & purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself & became obedient to death—even death on a cross. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place & gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven & on earth & under the earth, & every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 12:9-16 | Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.

GOD reminds us of the truth, go ahead & step into it & believe for it. The devil deceives us into doubting GOD’s faithfulness. What the devil does best is short-sightedness, blurr the truth, get us to focus on immediate pay-off & shame.    >> Amplify the pain to push us away from GOD, or    >> Link empty promises w/ sin, to lure us towards disobedience.    Hebrews 12:2 | Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author &    perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the    cross, scorning its shame, & sat down at the right hand of the    throne of God. These are clearly the same tactics he deployed on JESUS in the desert (twisting GOD’s promises, then giving empty promises) & on the way to the cross (magnifying the pain & shame). This is why he’s called the father of lies, everything is a lie.

Luke 1:37 | For no word from God will ever fail.

Jeremiah 32:17 | “Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens & the earth by Your great power & outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!

   It is night & day, all creation can only give what we’re full of.

   The devil is full of fear & death, so those are the things he will fill our lives with    if we’re foolish enough to forsake GOD, fail to renew our minds in HIS truths, &    give into the fear/doubt/desires of this world.

Romans 10:17 | Consequently, faith comes by hearing, & hearing by the word of Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:4-6 | So while we are in this tent, we groan under our burdens, because we do not wish to be unclothed but clothed, so that our mortality may be swallowed up by life. And God has prepared us for this very purpose & has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come. Therefore we are always confident, although we know that while we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.

Psalm 50:23 | Those who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, & to those who rights their way, I will show the salvation of God.”

Those who have changed their course of life.

Those who glorify GOD, gives GOD honour which HE prize & requires; and not those who loads GOD’s altar with a multitude of sacrifices.    We glorify GOD most in obedience, as living proof of HIS goodness &    transformative work on our old nature (bent on selfish ambition).    We obey GOD when we love one another, & praise HIM continually by    acknowledging HIM as our source & seeking HIS guidance. Proverbs 3:5-6 | Trust in the LORD with all your heart, & lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, & He will make your paths straight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 | For we walk by faith, not by sight. WHY? Did GOD have to say all these things? Why are we encouraged not to fear a zillion times over in the entire Bible??? Our immediate payoff is not pleasure, persecution is on the forecast for all believers who want to follow CHRIST. But what follows that is support from GOD’s Holy Spirit (more of HIM, less of us). It’s backwards, opposite to how we expect encouragement/growth to take place. We want a constant stream of positive encouragement for good behaviour, but GOD wants increasing good works & glorification of HIS Name through our dependence on HIM & higher esteem for HIS invisible attributes.    All these life giving results occur upon death, when we knowingly:     1.] love/serve others who hate us,     2.] refrain from fighting for our rights (praise GOD for eternal hope), &     3.] continue to emulate & obey GOD, humbly killing off any desire for prestige/power.

John 15:18 | If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.

Matthew 10:22 | You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Luke 22:42 | ‘Not My Will, But Thine, Be Done’

   JESUS did not die for nothing, HE looked on us & saw our deep need for HIM.

Matthew 9:36 | When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed & helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

   Don’t get caught up by the emotion, test that what you’re hearing measures up    with the doctrine of CHRIST. HE suffered & promised HE’ll never leave us     nor forsake us in the pain of following after HIM.

   This world is passing, don’t let immediate pain push you away from chasing    after GOD. HE has a plan & it is for the good of your eternal soul.           ___________________________________________________________

   >> Caleb & the other spies warn against entering the promised land         [Numbers 13-14]; this is the proverbial the Kingdom of GOD.

   Modern day Caleb does the same.

I got this thought that runs through my head all the time, that says it doesn’t matter..I could be doing anything.

Whenever you’re trying to do something...this idea pops up (it doesn’t matter)

“You’re not enough,” this thought attacks everyone, professional athletes too

When we think we’re not enough, we doubt GOD’s provisions. The disciples even told JESUS, there’s not enough food to go around, YOU need to send them away [Matthew 15:33; James 2:16]

How many times have we sent away something that GOD put in our life? Because we caught a thought from the wrong source

They wandered around the desert for 40 years [Joshua 5:6].     Joshua 5:6 | For the Israelites wandered in the wilderness 40     years until all the nation's men of war who came out of Egypt     had died off because they did not obey the LORD. Not because of their enemy, but because of their thought/decision. [Philippians 4:8; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Proverbs 4:23; Colossians 3:2; Ephesians 4:22-24; Acts 17:10-11]

Philippians 4:8 | Finally, fellow believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.

Romans 12:2 | Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test & approve what is the good, pleasing, & perfect will of God.

2 Corinthians 10:5 | We tear down arguments, & every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; & we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Proverbs 4:23 | Guard your heart w/ all diligence, for from it flow springs of life.

Colossians 3:2 | Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Ephesians 4:22-24 | to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; & to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness & holiness.

Acts 17:10-11 | As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul & Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue. Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message w/ great eagerness & examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.

1c] Then even when things are going good!

      I get this thought & I don’t know where it comes from..!?       I don’t think it’s GOD, it’s hard to tell sometimes.

      It all starts with a thought.       [James 1:14-15; Mark 7:20-22; Genesis 4:7; Colossians 3:5-6; 1 John 3:4.]

James 1:14-15 | But each one is tempted when by their own evil desires s/he is lured away & enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; & sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Mark 7:20-22 | He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him. For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, & foolishness.

Genesis 4:7 | If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”

Colossians 3:5-6 | Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, & greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

1 John 3:4 | Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.

      Even when it’s going good, it won’t last. Then you sabotage the gift, you       don’t feel secure because even while it’s happening you don’t think it’s real.

      [Proverbs 23:7; Matthew 5:28; 1 Peter 1:13; James 4:7; 4:1-3; 2 Timothy 2:15; Colossians 3:23.]

Proverbs 23:7 | for he is keeping track, inwardly counting the cost. “Eat & drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not w/ you.

Matthew 5:28 | But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery w/ her in his heart.

1 Peter 1:13 | Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

James 4:7 | Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, & he will flee from you.

James 4:1-3 | What causes conflicts & quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war w/in you? You crave what you do not have; you kill & covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel & fight. You do not have, because you do not ask. And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask w/ wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.

2 Timothy 2:15 | Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

Colossians 3:23 | Whatever you do, work at it w/ your whole being, for the Lord & not for men,

     I’m not sure where it comes from, but I know where it takes me.

     When I look back on the seasons of my life, when I was so deep in depression.      Oh yeah, & I know the Bible verses, I know ‘em better than you.      Let’s have a quoting contest: Rejoice in the LORD always [Philippians 4:4]

         Well you can say it as many times as you want Paul, but I’m sad right now.          And I can’t find my way out, so now I’m fighting on the level of my feelings.

         But watch this, before it became a feeling, it was a thought. 

     Look even Paul, it wasn’t like Moses was a bad leader, even Paul had to fight      against opposing voices & thought systems that undermine the essence of       the grace of GOD & the gospel.

     Even in the churches that he started.

     Even in Corinth, he would write to them & what would happen to them was      they would be led astray (deceived) by the power of suggestion.

     >> He uses the example: Like Eve was deceived by the serpent.      Did GOD really say? See how he introduces doubt into potential/possibilities of faith?      Causing her to focus on what is not available rather than focus on what is.

     Paul is concerned because there are these spies at the Church of Corinth, &      they’re leading the Christians astray.

     They’re doing it by the power of thought, they’re introducing the thought that      you need something other than CHRIST to justify you.

        [Ephesians 2:8-9; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 5:8; John 3:16-17]

Ephesians 2:8-9 | For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, & this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

2 Corinthians 5:21 | God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

1 Corinthians 15:57 | But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Romans 5:8 | But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16-17 | For God so loved the world that He gave His one & only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

     He says I fear that you have been led astray from a pure devotion to CHRIST.

     [Jeremiah 17:9; Psalm 69:5; Revelation 1:1-20; 1 John 1:8-10; 1 Peter 4:8; 1 Peter 2:24; James 5:16; Hebrews 10:26; 1 John 5:17]

Jeremiah 17:9 | The heart is deceitful above all things & beyond cure—who can understand it?

Psalm 69:5 | You know my folly, O God, & my guilt is not hidden from You.

Revelation 1:1-20 | This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God & the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, & blessed are those who hear & obey what is written in it, because the time is near. John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace & peace to you from Him who is & was & is to come, & from the seven Spirits before His throne, & from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, & the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us & has released us from our sins by His blood, who has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God & Father—to Him be the glory & power forever & ever! Amen. Behold, He is coming w/ the clouds, & every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen. “I am the Alpha & the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is & was & is to come—the Almighty. I, John, your brother & partner in the tribulation & kingdom & perseverance that are in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God & my testimony about Jesus. On the Lord’s day I was in the Spirit, & I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, saying, “Write on a scroll what you see & send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, & Laodicea.” Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking w/ me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, & among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, w/ a golden sash around His chest. The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, & His eyes were like a blazing fire. His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, & His voice was like the roar of many waters. He held in His right hand seven stars, & a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest. When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me & said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First & the Last, the Living One. I was dead, & behold, now I am alive forever & ever! And I hold the keys of Death & of Hades. Therefore write down the things you have seen, & the things that are, & the things that will happen after this. This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand & of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, & the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”

1 John 1:8-10 | If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, & the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful & just to forgive us our sins & to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, & His word is not in us.

1 Peter 4:8 | Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 2:24 | He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin & live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”

James 5:16 | Therefore confess your sins to each other & pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.

Hebrews 10:26 | If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,

1 John 5:17 | All unrighteousness is sin, yet there is sin that does not lead to death.

     Pure is the right word. It’s that uncontaminated state that we access occasionally.      Where you know GOD’s got this & that everything is going to be alright.

     >> You ever just felt that & you had no reason to & you didn’t even have the fact to back it up?

What happens is the enemy deceived you; he can’t take what GOD gave you. You know that right?

I need to make sure you know that: he can’t take what GOD gave you.      Romans 11:29 | For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable But if he can get you to catch a thought that opposes it, he can keep you so weak that you will not walk into it.

...

you reap what you sow, proverb:  you eventually have to face up to the consequences of your actions [Oxford].

Galatians 6:7-8 | Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

1 Peter 3:9 | Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

1 Corinthians 6:9-12 | Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ & by the Spirit of our God. “Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

Psalm 50:23 | He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.”

Character Typing Hell: An example

Lest you think I was joking, here’s an example.

Matt Murdoch from Daredevil (Netflix). I think he’s an ISFP because he’s impulsive, makes his decisions generally from a place of what he believes is the right thing to do rather than what makes the most sense to do, will not compromise to make others happy, centers his life around his moral mission, and so on.

Tumblr I usually trust, though I definitely have my points of disagreement (funkymbtifiction; usually good but I fundamentally disagree on some of the Fi/Fe emotion-based arguments): ESFP (unofficial typing). Not unreasonable; I think his Fi is stronger than his Se but I’m not 100% positive.

Reddit: 2 votes ISTP, 2 votes INFJ, only evidence provided is for one of the INFJ arguments:“extremely concerned with justice and has a vision of how things ought to be” ah yes only the holy INFJ cares about justice and change.

INTJ forum: mostly for ISTP because ‘kind of a loner’ and individual thinking and action...one person points out that leaving a known quantity lucrative big law job for ethical reasons is kind of Fi [my note: could be Fe too for that matter, but probably not inferior Fe guiding such a massive life choice], someone else says INFP and makes the same Fi argument and points out that ISTPs care about ‘looking cool’ and Matt...doesn’t? Anyway zero evidence provided for Ne. Breakdown: self-typed NJs think he’s an ISTP except one who says ISTJ with no evidence provided and also calls Foggy ‘comic relief guy’ and Karen ‘the chick’ so that person watched it; INFP thinks he’s an INFP.

Personality cafe: mostly for ISFJ or ISTJ, no evidence. One argument for “Daredevil struck me as NF, because of how strongly he believed in what he does.” THAT’S RIGHT. ONLY NFs HAVE CONVICTIONS.

Typology central: ISTP mostly. W/r/t other characters, someone decides that ‘S types play by the rules’ (hahahahahahahahahahahahaha have you met an Se dom ever). Then we get one of the most atrocious INFJ arguments I have ever seen in my goddamn life. Evidence provided: is an idealist (not strictly associated with MBTI, though I’ll grant it’s more tied to higher feeling functions); frustrated with reality (reality often sucks, I’m an Si dom and reality frustrates the shit out of me sometimes, this is just an opinion and not evidence of any function); believes in truth and justice (uh...don’t we all); takes unorthodox paths to achieve goals in a more immediate way (ALL HUMANS CAN HAVE GOALS OH MY FUCKING GOD and using an unconventional method for more immediacy screams NP or SP); “cares more about what is happening in the outside world than in his own” (Did you mean...sensor?) , poor at planning things out (....and so you decided he was AN NI DOM, YOU MOLDY CABBAGE?), learns and grows better...from “connecting the dots” of his experience (I cannot even at this point), says he can’t be an ISTP because he’s primarily motivated by morals, which I actually do agree with because unless he’s in a multi-year Fe-grip his Ti would be like “wait this makes no fucking sense” in about 30 seconds; then says “ISTPs are primarily motivated by victory” which, not really, far more motivated by what makes sense and like, what they want at the moment.

Then the rest of the forum is like “yes, yes, indeed” and then I closed the tab because it’s really not worth getting (more) enraged at 2-year-old ignorance.

MBTI blog I don’t particularly trust: ISFJ, just kind of puts down the ISFJ description without tying it to the character so not sure where you’re going there buddy

Mongolian chicken recipe: not about this but I did have this tab open concurrently and it's at least as accurate as Typology central

Note: If you type a character the burden of proof is not just on the traits you see in them but also why this specifically indicates the type you have assigned. “Has morals”, “has goals”, and “values truth” and “cares about people” are cannot be attributed to any one type. The reason I drag a lot of INFJ typings is because they usually rely on those non-arguments almost exclusively. 

For some INFJ typings I actually respect: Asami from Legend of Korra, Liz Lemon from 30 Rock, and Amy Dunne from Gone Girl. There are actually solid arguments that rely on those characters’ future-focuses that supersede their perceptions of reality and their collective desire to be seen in a certain way by other people and in turn create a specific dynamic with those people (positive with Asami, neutral/varies with Liz, negative with Amy). Truth and caring about others barely enter into it; goals are specifically personal and symbolic, and morals are specifically external.

People May Judge You and Ask Why

The news that you are getting divorced has spread through your church, neighborhood, and/or workplace, and we are a curious species. Don’t be surprised when people you barely know ask you why you the nitty-gritty on why you are getting divorced. Insensitive comments such as, “did she leave you for someone younger?” and other flagrant comments are to be expected. For the sake of your children, you may not wish to respond in detail.

You May Feel Terrible About Getting a Divorce – It’s OK

There is much guilt and regret present in nearly every divorce.

This is normal!! Make a choice to move forward, and take care of yourself. Throughout the divorce process you will have good days and bad days.

Parenting After Divorce May Become More Difficult

There will be many disagreements – maybe not fair or logical ones. There may be pain when you refer to your ex as “mommy” to your kids, however that is her name to them, and you need to be the adult about it. No matter what are your kids are, please practice HIGH levels of self-control and not bad mouth the other parent in front of your children. You may think with the other spouse out of the picture, that you can make all parenting decisions by yourself. If you’re granted sole legal custody, then you can make major decision about the kid(s) by yourself. Having sole physical custody simply means that you are the parent the kid(s) live with.

Just because you are divorced, doesn’t mean that you have to be enemies.

If the Utah Divorce Decree is Violated, There Can be Serious Consequences. Once the court has ruled and the papers have been signed, both parties are bound to the terms set forth in the divorce decree. Violating any part of the agreement may put the violator in contempt of court, and your family law attorney can help you file a contempt motion. The most common divorce violations are non-payment of child support, not complying with the visitation schedule, withholding visitation, and non-payment of alimony. If your ex does not bring the kids back at the time set forth in the divorce decree, the police will not help you bring them back unless there is an immediate threat to them. What the police will do is come to your house and make a record of “visitation interference,” which your family law attorney can use as evidence in a contempt hearing. In your court hearing you must be able to state what areas of the decree have been violated, and the burden of proof always lies with the accuser. If you are found in contempt, the violator may be given a period of time to correct the issue or they may face jail time until the matter is resolved.

Filing Fees

The filing fee for a divorce in Utah is $318. That fee is paid directly to the Court when you file your divorce papers. In some circumstances the filing fee may be waived. For more information on waivers, you can visit the Court’s website.

Utah’s waiting period and other requirements

In Utah, you can expect your divorce to take at least one month. Utah Code Ann. §30-3-18 provides that couples must wait 30 days after filing their divorce petition before a final order can be entered. Prior to 2019, there was a 90-day waiting period was required in divorce cases. The waiting period could also be waived for any good cause set forth in the divorce papers. In 2012, the Utah legislature amended Utah Code Ann. §30-3-18 to prevent parties from waiving the 90-day waiting period unless they can establish extraordinary circumstances. While it remains, unclear what may qualify as extraordinary circumstances, it is clear that the legislature wanted to make it more difficult for couples to get a speedy divorce. Under the prior version of the statute, couples needed only to assert that they had been unsuccessful in their attempts to reconciliation and that they were certain any further attempts to save the marriage would be futile. Now, couples will need to show that there is some other pressing reason, such as a new marriage or extraordinary financial situations, in order to obtain a waiver of the mandatory waiting period. Even under the best set of circumstances, it will likely take at least 90 days after you file your Utah Petition for Divorce to obtain a final order. If the divorce is contested or the required papers are not filed, the divorce may take much longer. There are numerous affidavits, information sheets and other documents which must be filed with the court before the judge will enter the Decree of Divorce.

With contested divorce cases, it may take years to obtain a Decree of Divorce. Couples are required to fully disclose all financial assets through a lengthy discovery process. It may be necessary to retain other professional to assist in the division of property, such as forensic accountants, home appraisers and tax experts. Couples with children frequently retain guardian ad litem attorneys to interview the children or psychologists to complete a thorough custody evaluation. Hopefully, Utah lawmakers will eventually realize the need for a faster and simpler divorce process. The current Utah belief seems to be that the courts can save marriages by slowing down the divorce process. When a couple decides that their marriage is so irretrievably broken that they need to divorce, it is generally not in anyone’s best interests to try to keep that couple together. Nobody knows whether a marriage can be saved better than the two individuals who are living in that marriage. If a couple is able to work out a divorce resolution without court intervention, Utah should let them be divorced.

The family law team at Ascent Law LLC understands the need to have divorce cases handled as quickly and efficiently as possible. Family law attorney Hailey Black can guide you through a contested divorce or work with you to ensure all required papers for your uncontested divorce are in order.

The cost for the Divorce Orientation is $20 per parent, and the cost for the Divorce Education Class is $35 per parent, for a total per-parent cost of $55. The costs to attend those required Courses are the responsibility of each parent. Proof of attendance for both you and your spouse must be filed with the Court prior to your divorce being entered.

Filing Fees

The filing fee for a divorce in Utah is $318. That fee is paid directly to the Court when you file your divorce papers. In some circumstances the filing fee may be waived. For more information on waivers, you can visit the Court’s website.

Utah’s waiting period and other requirements

In Utah, you can expect your divorce to take at least one month. Utah Code Ann. §30-3-18 provides that couples must wait 30 days after filing their divorce petition before a final order can be entered. Prior to 2019, there was a 90-day waiting period was required in divorce cases. The waiting period could also be waived for any good cause set forth in the divorce papers. In 2012, the Utah legislature amended Utah Code Ann. §30-3-18 to prevent parties from waiving the 90-day waiting period unless they can establish extraordinary circumstances. While it remains, unclear what may qualify as extraordinary circumstances, it is clear that the legislature wanted to make it more difficult for couples to get a speedy divorce. Under the prior version of the statute, couples needed only to assert that they had been unsuccessful in their attempts to reconciliation and that they were certain any further attempts to save the marriage would be futile. Now, couples will need to show that there is some other pressing reason, such as a new marriage or extraordinary financial situations, in order to obtain a waiver of the mandatory waiting period. Even under the best set of circumstances, it will likely take at least 90 days after you file your Utah Petition for Divorce to obtain a final order. If the divorce is contested or the required papers are not filed, the divorce may take much longer. There are numerous affidavits, information sheets and other documents which must be filed with the court before the judge will enter the Decree of Divorce.

With contested divorce cases, it may take years to obtain a Decree of Divorce. Couples are required to fully disclose all financial assets through a lengthy discovery process. It may be necessary to retain other professional to assist in the division of property, such as forensic accountants, home appraisers and tax experts. Couples with children frequently retain guardian ad litem attorneys to interview the children or psychologists to complete a thorough custody evaluation. Hopefully, Utah lawmakers will eventually realize the need for a faster and simpler divorce process. The current Utah belief seems to be that the courts can save marriages by slowing down the divorce process. When a couple decides that their marriage is so irretrievably broken that they need to divorce, it is generally not in anyone’s best interests to try to keep that couple together. Nobody knows whether a marriage can be saved better than the two individuals who are living in that marriage. If a couple is able to work out a divorce resolution without court intervention, Utah should let them be divorced.

The family law team at Ascent Law LLC understands the need to have divorce cases handled as quickly and efficiently as possible. Family law attorney Hailey Black can guide you through a contested divorce or work with you to ensure all required papers for your uncontested divorce are in order.

With Children

If you have minor children from your marriage, you and your spouse are required to attend a mandatory one-hour Divorce Orientation and a two-hour Divorce Education Class. Information about both classes can be found at Utah Courts. The cost for the Divorce Orientation is $20 per parent, and the cost for the Divorce Education Class is $35 per parent, for a total per-parent cost of $55. The costs to attend those required Courses are the responsibility of each parent. Proof of attendance for both you and your spouse must be filed with the Court prior to your divorce being entered.

Is Divorce In Utah Easy?

If you enter into marriage under the age of 20 and/or have an income of less than 25,000, your risk of divorce skyrockets. Throw in a spouse losing their job or a surprise pregnancy, and your marriage may be doomed before it begins. Here in Utah, we have a tendency to marry quite young. The median age of marriage in the United States is 27 for women and 29 for men. Now compare that to the average age of marriage in Utah, which is 24 for women and 26 for men.

Divorce Has Declined Nearly Everywhere Except Utah

Utah’s divorce rates run slightly higher than the national average. Statistics often attribute this to Utah having larger families than the national average, citing more than 5% of families have 7+ family members compared to the 3.25 national average (2013).

Utah Requires Divorcing Couples to Attend a Divorce Education Class Utah legislators have created a mandatory divorce orientation course that couples must complete. Your divorce cannot be finalized until both you and your significant other have completed the course. You are only required to take the divorce education class if there are minor children involved. The one-time class reviews resources for custody and child support issues, clarifies the divorce process, and consequences of divorce. More information about Utah Divorce class requirements and fees can be found here.

People May Judge You and Ask Why

The news that you are getting divorced has spread through your church, neighborhood, and/or workplace, and we are a curious species. Don’t be surprised when people you barely know ask you why you the nitty-gritty on why you are getting divorced. Insensitive comments such as, “did she leave you for someone younger?” and other flagrant comments are to be expected. For the sake of your children, you may not wish to respond in detail. While you are preparing your financials for your divorce, be sure to take some time to handle the emotional side as well. People may even tell you that they haven’t liked your ex since before you got married. They are not usually trying to make you feel bad; quite the opposite, they are usually trying to tell you that they agree with your decision and are trying to make you feel better. My point – PREPARE YOURSELF for these comments. Friends and family members may also take sides or disappear completely. You may be the spouse who was cheated on, and people may still not take your side. Divorce is a distressing topic, and people may want to distance themselves from the perceived drama. Just remember to stay true to yourself, cut out the negative people, and create a foundation of support. Divorce gets easier as time goes on, and surrounding yourself with those that will help you weather the storm helps the process move faster.

You May Feel Terrible About Getting a Divorce – It’s OK

There is much guilt and regret present in nearly every divorce. You may easily blame yourself because you run through all the things you could have done differently, because your children blame you, or you may feel guilty simply because you were the one who filed the divorce papers. This is normal!! Make a choice to move forward, and take care of yourself. Throughout the divorce process you will have good days and bad days. Feeling guilty or overwhelmed does not mean that you should give the other spouse everything. Doing so will probably not lessen the grief on either side, and you are still entitled to half of everything.

Additionally, people may want to tell you their divorce horror stories. Please remember that every situation is different, and you shouldn’t let someone else’s negative experience stress you out. When you are feeling stressed, rely on professional advice from your family law attorney, mental health counselor, or financial advisor as they are qualified to give you answers pertaining to your specific situation.

You may think with the other spouse out of the picture, that you can make all parenting decisions by yourself.

With contested divorce cases, it may take years to obtain a Decree of Divorce. Couples are required to fully disclose all financial assets through a lengthy discovery process. It may be necessary to retain other professional to assist in the division of property, such as forensic accountants, home appraisers and tax experts. Couples with children frequently retain guardian ad litem attorneys to interview the children or psychologists to complete a thorough custody evaluation. Hopefully, Utah lawmakers will eventually realize the need for a faster and simpler divorce process. The current Utah belief seems to be that the courts can save marriages by slowing down the divorce process. When a couple decides that their marriage is so irretrievably broken that they need to divorce, it is generally not in anyone’s best interests to try to keep that couple together. Nobody knows whether a marriage can be saved better than the two individuals who are living in that marriage. If a couple is able to work out a divorce resolution without court intervention, Utah should let them be divorced.

The family law team at Ascent Law LLC understands the need to have divorce cases handled as quickly and efficiently as possible. Family law attorney Hailey Black can guide you through a contested divorce or work with you to ensure all required papers for your uncontested divorce are in order. During your initial consultation, we will advise you on your options and provide you with an approximate timeline for resolving your divorce case.

Information about both classes can be found at Utah Courts. The cost for the Divorce Orientation is $20 per parent, and the cost for the Divorce Education Class is $35 per parent, for a total per-parent cost of $55. The costs to attend those required Courses are the responsibility of each parent. Proof of attendance for both you and your spouse must be filed with the Court prior to your divorce being entered.

Is Divorce In Utah Easy?

If you enter into marriage under the age of 20 and/or have an income of less than 25,000, your risk of divorce skyrockets. Throw in a spouse losing their job or a surprise pregnancy, and your marriage may be doomed before it begins. Here in Utah, we have a tendency to marry quite young. The median age of marriage in the United States is 27 for women and 29 for men. Now compare that to the average age of marriage in Utah, which is 24 for women and 26 for men.

Divorce Has Declined Nearly Everywhere Except Utah

Utah’s divorce rates run slightly higher than the national average. Statistics often attribute this to Utah having larger families than the national average, citing more than 5% of families have 7+ family members compared to the 3.25 national average (2013).

Utah Requires Divorcing Couples to Attend a Divorce Education Class Utah legislators have created a mandatory divorce orientation course that couples must complete. Your divorce cannot be finalized until both you and your significant other have completed the course. You are only required to take the divorce education class if there are minor children involved. The one-time class reviews resources for custody and child support issues, clarifies the divorce process, and consequences of divorce. More information about Utah Divorce class requirements and fees can be found here.

People May Judge You and Ask Why

The news that you are getting divorced has spread through your church, neighborhood, and/or workplace, and we are a curious species. Don’t be surprised when people you barely know ask you why you the nitty-gritty on why you are getting divorced. Insensitive comments such as, “did she leave you for someone younger?” and other flagrant comments are to be expected. For the sake of your children, you may not wish to respond in detail. While you are preparing your financials for your divorce, be sure to take some time to handle the emotional side as well. People may even tell you that they haven’t liked your ex since before you got married. They are not usually trying to make you feel bad; quite the opposite, they are usually trying to tell you that they agree with your decision and are trying to make you feel better. My point – PREPARE YOURSELF for these comments. Friends and family members may also take sides or disappear completely. You may be the spouse who was cheated on, and people may still not take your side. Divorce is a distressing topic, and people may want to distance themselves from the perceived drama. Just remember to stay true to yourself, cut out the negative people, and create a foundation of support. Divorce gets easier as time goes on, and surrounding yourself with those that will help you weather the storm helps the process move faster.

You May Feel Terrible About Getting a Divorce – It’s OK

There is much guilt and regret present in nearly every divorce. You may easily blame yourself because you run through all the things you could have done differently, because your children blame you, or you may feel guilty simply because you were the one who filed the divorce papers. This is normal!! Make a choice to move forward, and take care of yourself. Throughout the divorce process you will have good days and bad days. Feeling guilty or overwhelmed does not mean that you should give the other spouse everything. Doing so will probably not lessen the grief on either side, and you are still entitled to half of everything.

Additionally, people may want to tell you their divorce horror stories. Please remember that every situation is different, and you shouldn’t let someone else’s negative experience stress you out. When you are feeling stressed, rely on professional advice from your family law attorney, mental health counselor, or financial advisor as they are qualified to give you answers pertaining to your specific situation.

Parenting After Divorce May Become More Difficult

There will be many disagreements – maybe not fair or logical ones. There may be pain when you refer to your ex as “mommy” to your kids, however that is her name to them, and you need to be the adult about it. No matter what are your kids are, please practice HIGH levels of self-control and not bad mouth the other parent in front of your children. You may think with the other spouse out of the picture, that you can make all parenting decisions by yourself. If you’re granted sole legal custody, then you can make major decision about the kid(s) by yourself. Having sole physical custody simply means that you are the parent the kid(s) live with. Make a choice to try to co-parent as best you can. If you can’t get along, you may need to have separate birthdays, and the more times in your kids’ lives you are going to miss out on. Just because you are divorced, doesn’t mean that you have to be enemies.

If the Utah Divorce Decree is Violated, There Can be Serious Consequences. Once the court has ruled and the papers have been signed, both parties are bound to the terms set forth in the divorce decree. Violating any part of the agreement may put the violator in contempt of court, and your family law attorney can help you file a contempt motion. The most common divorce violations are non-payment of child support, not complying with the visitation schedule, withholding visitation, and non-payment of alimony. If your ex does not bring the kids back at the time set forth in the divorce decree, the police will not help you bring them back unless there is an immediate threat to them. What the police will do is come to your house and make a record of “visitation interference,” which your family law attorney can use as evidence in a contempt hearing. In your court hearing you must be able to state what areas of the decree have been violated, and the burden of proof always lies with the accuser. If you are found in contempt, the violator may be given a period of time to correct the issue or they may face jail time until the matter is resolved.

If you ex is not paying alimony or child support due to unemployment, you can’t make your spouse pay if they do not bring in an income, however, past due child support will accrue. Your family law attorney will likely recommend that you contact the Utah Office of Recovery Services (ORS). The ORS makes sure that Utah parents are responsible for their children’s support, and can help you collect a judgment. Click here for more information on the Office of Recovery Services.

Filing Fees

The filing fee for a divorce in Utah is $318. That fee is paid directly to the Court when you file your divorce papers. In some circumstances the filing fee may be waived. For more information on waivers, you can visit the Court’s website.

Utah’s waiting period and other requirements

In Utah, you can expect your divorce to take at least one month. Utah Code Ann. §30-3-18 provides that couples must wait 30 days after filing their divorce petition before a final order can be entered. Prior to 2019, there was a 90-day waiting period was required in divorce cases. The waiting period could also be waived for any good cause set forth in the divorce papers. In 2012, the Utah legislature amended Utah Code Ann. §30-3-18 to prevent parties from waiving the 90-day waiting period unless they can establish extraordinary circumstances. While it remains, unclear what may qualify as extraordinary circumstances, it is clear that the legislature wanted to make it more difficult for couples to get a speedy divorce. Under the prior version of the statute, couples needed only to assert that they had been unsuccessful in their attempts to reconciliation and that they were certain any further attempts to save the marriage would be futile. Now, couples will need to show that there is some other pressing reason, such as a new marriage or extraordinary financial situations, in order to obtain a waiver of the mandatory waiting period. Even under the best set of circumstances, it will likely take at least 90 days after you file your Utah Petition for Divorce to obtain a final order. If the divorce is contested or the required papers are not filed, the divorce may take much longer. There are numerous affidavits, information sheets and other documents which must be filed with the court before the judge will enter the Decree of Divorce.

With contested divorce cases, it may take years to obtain a Decree of Divorce. Couples are required to fully disclose all financial assets through a lengthy discovery process. It may be necessary to retain other professional to assist in the division of property, such as forensic accountants, home appraisers and tax experts. Couples with children frequently retain guardian ad litem attorneys to interview the children or psychologists to complete a thorough custody evaluation. Hopefully, Utah lawmakers will eventually realize the need for a faster and simpler divorce process.

Make a choice to try to co-parent as best you can. If you can’t get along, you may need to have separate birthdays, and the more times in your kids’ lives you are going to miss out on. Just because you are divorced, doesn’t mean that you have to be enemies.

If the Utah Divorce Decree is Violated, There Can be Serious Consequences. Once the court has ruled and the papers have been signed, both parties are bound to the terms set forth in the divorce decree. Violating any part of the agreement may put the violator in contempt of court, and your family law attorney can help you file a contempt motion. The most common divorce violations are non-payment of child support, not complying with the visitation schedule, withholding visitation, and non-payment of alimony. If your ex does not bring the kids back at the time set forth in the divorce decree, the police will not help you bring them back unless there is an immediate threat to them. What the police will do is come to your house and make a record of “visitation interference,” which your family law attorney can use as evidence in a contempt hearing. In your court hearing you must be able to state what areas of the decree have been violated, and the burden of proof always lies with the accuser. If you are found in contempt, the violator may be given a period of time to correct the issue or they may face jail time until the matter is resolved.

If you ex is not paying alimony or child support due to unemployment, you can’t make your spouse pay if they do not bring in an income, however, past due child support will accrue. Your family law attorney will likely recommend that you contact the Utah Office of Recovery Services (ORS). The ORS makes sure that Utah parents are responsible for their children’s support, and can help you collect a judgment. Click here for more information on the Office of Recovery Services.

Filing Fees

The filing fee for a divorce in Utah is $318. That fee is paid directly to the Court when you file your divorce papers. In some circumstances the filing fee may be waived. For more information on waivers, you can visit the Court’s website.

Utah’s waiting period and other requirements

In Utah, you can expect your divorce to take at least one month. Utah Code Ann. §30-3-18 provides that couples must wait 30 days after filing their divorce petition before a final order can be entered. Prior to 2019, there was a 90-day waiting period was required in divorce cases. The waiting period could also be waived for any good cause set forth in the divorce papers. In 2012, the Utah legislature amended Utah Code Ann. §30-3-18 to prevent parties from waiving the 90-day waiting period unless they can establish extraordinary circumstances. While it remains, unclear what may qualify as extraordinary circumstances, it is clear that the legislature wanted to make it more difficult for couples to get a speedy divorce. Under the prior version of the statute, couples needed only to assert that they had been unsuccessful in their attempts to reconciliation and that they were certain any further attempts to save the marriage would be futile. Now, couples will need to show that there is some other pressing reason, such as a new marriage or extraordinary financial situations, in order to obtain a waiver of the mandatory waiting period. Even under the best set of circumstances, it will likely take at least 90 days after you file your Utah Petition for Divorce to obtain a final order. If the divorce is contested or the required papers are not filed, the divorce may take much longer. There are numerous affidavits, information sheets and other documents which must be filed with the court before the judge will enter the Decree of Divorce.

With contested divorce cases, it may take years to obtain a Decree of Divorce. Couples are required to fully disclose all financial assets through a lengthy discovery process. It may be necessary to retain other professional to assist in the division of property, such as forensic accountants, home appraisers and tax experts. Couples with children frequently retain guardian ad litem attorneys to interview the children or psychologists to complete a thorough custody evaluation. Hopefully, Utah lawmakers will eventually realize the need for a faster and simpler divorce process. The current Utah belief seems to be that the courts can save marriages by slowing down the divorce process. When a couple decides that their marriage is so irretrievably broken that they need to divorce, it is generally not in anyone’s best interests to try to keep that couple together. Nobody knows whether a marriage can be saved better than the two individuals who are living in that marriage. If a couple is able to work out a divorce resolution without court intervention, Utah should let them be divorced.

If you have minor children from your marriage, you and your spouse are required to attend a mandatory one-hour Divorce Orientation and a two-hour Divorce Education Class. Information about both classes can be found at Utah Courts. The cost for the Divorce Orientation is $20 per parent, and the cost for the Divorce Education Class is $35 per parent, for a total per-parent cost of $55. The costs to attend those required Courses are the responsibility of each parent. Proof of attendance for both you and your spouse must be filed with the Court prior to your divorce being entered. You should plan on attending the orientation and parenting class as soon as possible after you have filed your initial papers and received your case number.
