Life at Sea is Better - Sailing Luckyfish Ep 25 - Duration: 12:58.It was Sir Francis Drake who once said
It isn't that life ashore is distasteful to me.
But life at sea is better.
His words certainly rung true on our return to Grenada.
We had just spent an enjoyable few days delivering the Catana for Dream Yacht Charters
and they had generously flown us back to Grenada where Luckyfish sat on the hardstand.
However, that is where the fairytale ended.
Tuyas first time driving again, after 4 months, 5 months?
TUYA: Yes
STEW: Driving on the left hand side of the road.
At least the wheel is on the right side.
So far so good.
We hired a car to see some of the island and organize flights home.
We were plunged straight back into reality.
WOMAN ON PHONE: Sir, I'm sorry but Miss Powers is not at her desk
STEW: OK
WOMAN: Did you want to leave a number? Are you calling from Barbados or overseas?
STEW: No, just calling from Grenada
Return flights home to Mongolia were heavily booked.
On top of that, it would take 5 weeks to get the girls transit visas for a measly 3 hour
stopover in London, just so they could travel from Gatwick to Heathrow for their connection.
Without the visas we lost the air-tickets with no refunds.
WOMAN: Oh, ok, you seem to keep missing her. She's ...
Oh, she is on the phone I'm sorry.
STEW: That's fine. Thank you so much
I argued with travel agents.
I argued with Barbadan and Grenadan immigration authorities
I argued with various Caribbean airlines and learned more than I wanted to know about
corruption within one of them.
WOMAN: But, she is on the phone.
So, what you can do is call back in about 15 minutes
STEW: Yes, I will.
Yes, I will call in 15. Thank you.
WOMAN: Yes, OK, alright
STEW: See you now, bye-bye.
HANGS UP
Don't know why it keeps ringing like that. Must be a skype thing. Or their thing.
SIGHS
[RAP MUSIC]
It was a rude shock after the utter freedom we had grown used to.
In the end, there was no one to blame but me.
I should have seen all this coming.
We rented the cheapest apartment we could find and made the best of it.
After all, there are far worse places to be stuck than Grenada.
ZAYA: Are you enjoying your apartment?
STEW: No.
ZAYA: You have got a beautiful kitchen.
STEW: I've got great flatmates and a shit flat.
We took a drive up to Levarra Beach on the north coast, to see the Leatherback turtles.
It was May and breeding season.
We were treated to the sight of two huge females, digging nests and laying eggs.
And to cap it off, one hatchling showed himself as we were returning along the beach.
VISITOR: Oh gosh, look at his little fins flapping...
I had been pondering these extraordinary animals and why they spend almost their entire life
at sea yet invest so much effort returning to land to lay eggs.
Then it struck me that they must have once lived entirely on land, then evolved to live
in the sea, only requiring land for the function of reproduction.
I marveled at evolution and asked the guide
if this was indeed the evolutionary path for sea turtles.
Well, she set me straight and told me they can't lay eggs in the sea
as they would wash away.
I guess evolution is still a theory in some parts of the Caribbean.
We took the car for a drive into the interior, through the Grand Etang National Forest
and into the high mountains.
I keep seeing Red, Gold and Green and I think the whole nation are Rastafarians
but, it's actually the colour of their flag...
[LAUGHS]
ZAYA: Nice eh?
STEW: Beautiful. Be lovely for a swim.
CAR RADIO: Taken by wicked men, from Africa they came
To a land of slavery. All that Jesus said.
[INAUDIBLE]
Here we found Rosemount House - a remarkably well preserved timber home dating back to
the days of slavery.
The owners of this tropical fruit, herbs and flower plantation, Mr and Mrs Duncan, made
us feel very welcome and gave us a lesson in making chocolate and the fascinating recent
history of the island.
MR DUNCAN: And you crack it open and you pull it.
and we take out the seed. We ferment them
for eight days.
After they have been fermented, we put them out to dry
After they are dry, you bake them
You remove the thin skin on it
you add other spices, you grind them
MRS DUNCAN: A little nutmeg, a little cinnamon, some lime and bay leaf
MR DUNCAN: And then you get the real chocolate that you can drink.
Here, I'm going to crack this one
This is the Cocoa Bean
You can suck on them
You can suck on it but don't bite it because it's bitter, its raw chocolate.
MRS DUNCAN: you can also make juice with it
just lightly blend it with water and you do juice
cocoa juice.
Don't bite it. If you bite it it's going to be bitter because it's raw chocolate.
Mmmmm.
TUYA: Goy amtae! (Tastes good!)
STEW: thank you for that. That's a real treat.
MR DUNCAN: This one is Locust.
but, the Grenadan name, we call it Stinking Toe
STEW: Stinking Too?
MR DUNCAN: In Grenada we call it that way. But the botanical name is Locust.
STEW: And now you are going to tell us why it is called Stinking Toe yeah?
MR DUNCAN: It's a hard shell. You break into it
And I will allow you to taste it if you want to .
STEW: Nah, I don't know about this
Rather nice.
MR DUNCAN: I like it.
STEW: Americans, wasn't it?.
MR DUNCAN: Well it was chaos at that time really.
MR AND MRS DUNCAN: What really happened was it was a revolutionary Government.
MR DUNCAN: Bishop overthrew the Gairy Government in '79
And he led out an Axis
But, he was really thinking of the country.
He was not thinking of his party really. He was thinking of the country.
And, he was looking to see how he could develop the country better.
VO: Mr Duncan went on to explain how Maurice Bishop was Prime Minister for 4 years.
He envisioned a moderate socialist future for Grenada but was executed in 1983 at the
height of the Cold War.
6 days later, the USA, under Ronald Reagan, led a military invasion of the island and
Grenada went back to the polls.
Grenada's International Airport was the brainchild of Maurice Bishop
and, it's named after him.
STEW: But we need to go back to work unfortunately.
If we had the choice, we'd stay here in Grenada.
ZAYA: Lovely road.
Drive lovely, OK? [LAUGHS]
STEW: I will try and miss all the bumps.
STEW: The revolution will be televised.
STEW: Yes?
How is packing going?
ZAYA: Come in.
STEW: Get those mozzies.
How's packing going?
ZAYA: All good, all done, almost.
STEW: What's missing?
ZAYA: Ahhh, little bit of stuff. My make-up.
STEW: Usual crap, bags, computer still not put away, last thing as always
air-conditioner, also last thing.
Dinner is being prepared, last of the food.
Snorkelling gear to go back to the boat.
Things, relatively under control
Well, we finally did get those flights sorted and made one final trip to Luckyfish before
returning to Mongolia and work.
ZAYA: Surrounded by masts...
STEW: Luckyfish's new home. On the hard.
ZAYA: Yeah. She seems happy.
STEW: Yeah. Happy as a boat can be, out of it's element.
ZAYA: Alright. Goodbye Luckyfish. Until next year....
Hey Everyone, next week we have a special treat lined up.
STEW: That was the inspiration for Tangaroa?
JAMES WHARRAM: Yeah.
HANNEKE BOON: There it is. It's the same model.
JW: Now then. That was the inspiration. But the reality is....
Make sure you don't miss the great man himself, as he and Hanneke Boon talk to us about his
life, his boats and the latest designs from the Wharram Design office.

自己紹介+日本への情熱|Self-introduction + My passion for Japan - Duration: 5:00.Hello everyone from Japan!
My name is Camelia.
Nice to meet you!
Currently, I live in Cluj-Napoca, Romania and I study Japanese and English at the Faculty of Letters. I am a 3rd year student
I have a lot of hobbies.
I like photography, reading, cooking, writing poetry and writing in my diary, traveling, and spending time in nature.
I am a very optimistic person, and I try to find a reason to smile every day
because this world still convinces me that everything is like a poem.
My passion for Japan started about 11 years ago.
And since then, coming to Japan became my biggest dream.
There are still a lot of things I do not understand about Japan, but sometimes I feel like there is a big part of me that will always be Japanese at heart.
When I first watched Japanese cartoons, I fell in love with Japan when I heard Japanese, but I did not think it was difficult.
I felt that Japanese sounds are much more enjoyable and softer than many other Asian languages.
And I thought Japanese conversation was very nice.
Then, the writing system, although difficult to learn, is beautiful in its complexity!
Japan has so many nice ceremonies and art forms which really help me to relax and appreciate the beauty of the simple things in life.
Japanese food is healthy and delicious!
Thanks to that, the average life expectancy of the Japanese is the highest in the world.
I tried sushi, miso soup, ramen, curry, Japanese sweets etc. and all of them had a great taste!
Occasionally, imitating that appearance, I tried to make Japanese food by myself.
There are four seasons in Japan and every season is really wonderful and artistic.
In the spring, the cherry blossoms. In the summer, the fireworks. In autumn, the maple leaves. In the winter, the snow festivals.
Someday, I would like to see such a beautiful sight directly with my eyes.
Last year in November, I participated in a karaoke contest, sponsored by the Japanese Embassy.
I could not win a prize and I felt somehow disappointed, but it was a good experience for me.
I was able to meet a Japanese singer, and I received various tips from her.
I have a love for Japan that I cannot talk about; there is something deeper that cannot be explained in words.
Today, I would like to convey that feeling with the song I sang in the karaoke contest.

Trump Just Announced What He's Doing To WH Christmas Tree No Matter How Many Libs Are MAD About It. - Duration: 4:48.Trump Just Announced What He's Doing To WH Christmas Tree No Matter How Many Libs
Are MAD About It.
The Trumps are preparing for their first Christmas in the White House which you can expect to
be far different than the last two Christmases while the Obamas were occupying the place.
True to Trump fashion, he's doing things his way and not making any apologies for it,
no matter who it offends, knowing what the country needs now and making it great again.
Liberals have hijacked the holiday season for too long with their political correctness
and now that's all coming to an end.
Real family values are a priority in the White House now, starting with what the president
just announced he doing to the official Christmas tree that has never been done before.
President Trump already set the tone for the season as a promise he made during his campaigning
that we're going to start saying "Merry Christmas" again, instead of taking religion
out of the religious holiday.
He's done that with reaffirming that resolve in an announcement reminding everyone that
Jesus is the reason for the season and here in American we're going to say the words
that have been melting liberal snowflakes for years.
However, that was just the start.
When these anti-Christmas lefties see what he's doing to the White House Christmas
tree, it's only a matter of time before these liberal Scrooges hit the streets with
anti-Christmas carols, screaming their rhetoric.
It's typically part of the First Lady's responsibilities to organize the Christmas
decorating event and the official tree, as a time-honored tradition in the White House,
and this year is no different, except with what Melania Trump, in partnership with her
husband, has decided to do as a family.
The Trumps will be spending Thanksgiving in their home away from home, affectionately
referred to as the "Winter White House," which is at their Palm Beach, Florida resort.
As such, they are mixing things up this year at the White House in Washington, D.C. for
the unveiling of the Christmas tree which typically takes place during this time, prioritizing
their much-needed family time, but attending to traditions as well.
The Inquisitr reports:
Melania Trump has moved up the date of a time-honored White House tradition so that she and her
family can spend Thanksgiving weekend in Florida.
According to recent reports, the first lady will accept the White House Christmas tree
a few days before Thanksgiving instead of the day after the holiday.
As reported by ABC News, first ladies usually accept the White House Christmas tree on the
Friday after Thanksgiving.
However, Melania Trump and her husband aren't spending their first Thanksgiving as first
couple at the White House.
Instead, they plan on celebrating the holiday at their property in Palm Beach, Florida.
This is why the 2017 White House Christmas tree will be heading to Washington, D.C. on
Monday.
It shouldn't matter that Melania decided to move the date up for accepting the tree
by a few days, but it's little changes like these that send the Trumps detractors into
angry overdrive.
Anything this family does differently is a problem for liberals, even innocuous changes
such as this.
They will likely accuse them of trying to change the tradition, rather than seeing this
date-change for what it really is – a way for them to maintain their own family traditions,
which is important, as well as the White House traditions.
It's about time that we have a first family in the White House that puts value on quality
time spent together as a family and making memories.
The Obamas always seemed to be living different lives and going in different directions except
when they had to make public appearances and appear as a united front.
Now that they don't have to keep up those pretenses, their true colors and feeling for
each other seem to be on full display.
The next wave of outrage will likely come after what Melania chooses to be the theme
of the Christmas tree, which is an honor she gets as First Lady.
Michelle Obama previously picked a theme summed up, by her, as "Reflect, Rejoice, Renew."
We're sure that Melania will not disappoint in her design of choice, which will likely
carry a theme that honors America and the Christian values of this country and the Christmas
holiday itself.
"Melania Trump will have a few more days to think about her Christmas tree decorating
theme before she and her family head to Florida for the long weekend," Inquisitr added.
"According to the Washington Post, President Donald Trump will kick off his Thanksgiving
festivities on Tuesday when he pardons two turkeys in the Rose Garden."
President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have not only made America great again, they
are about to make Christmas in this country great again.
We're in for a spectacular season we've longed for over the last eight years and there's
a lot to celebrate this year, starting with the massively improved economy that makes
Christmas easier for a lot of American families.

How to Crochet Poncho Part 3 of 3 COWL Neck with Post Stitches and Custom Sizing Info - Duration: 5:25.hi I'm Kristin Omdahl and welcome back to my studio this is the third video in
the crochet poncho video series in part one we made this beautiful design for
the front of the poncho in part two we did the neckline and the back and now
for the third part of the video series we're going to be crocheting this cowl
neckline using post stitches let's get started to begin the cowl-neck
we're going to be working into the free loops of the stitches that we skipped on
the front and the free loops of the foundation single crochets that we
worked on the back and you just want to join with a slip stitch into any stitch
and I'm using a totally different color now just for high contrast and we'll
start in the first skip stitch on the front we're going to join with a slip
stitch and chain three which counts as our first double crochet we're going to
double crochet into the next stitch yarn over your hook insert your hook in the
next stitch yarn over pull up a loop yarn over pull through two yarn over
pull through two and we're going to double crochet in each stitch across the
front okay we had eight skipped stitches in the front so we chain 3 count as our
first stitch and then we worked a double crochet in each of the remaining seven
stitches for a total of eight on the front now we're going to come around and
work in the free loops of the foundation chains on the back and we're going to
work eight double crochets in the back as well
okay we're ready to join our round so we're going to slip stitch to the top of
the chain 3 at the beginning of the round to join and that completes round 1
of our cowl we're gonna chain 3 to begin our second round and chain 3 on this
round counts as a back post double crochet around the post of the next
stitch we're gonna work a front post double crochet yarn over your hook
insert your hook from front to back right to left around the post of the
next double crochet yarn over pull up a loop yarn over pull through two yarn
over pull through two on the next stitch we're going to work a back post double
crochet yarn over your hook insert your hook from back to front right to left
around the post of the next stitch yarn over pull up a loop yarn over your hook
insert your hook from back to front right to left around the next stitch
yarn over pull up a loop yarn over pull through two loops on your hook yarn over
pull through two loops on your hook around the next stitch we'll work a
front post double crochet and around the next stitch we'll work a back post
double crochet
and we're going to alternate front post double crochet back post double crochet
all the way around because we have an even number of stitches and we started
with a chain three that counted as a back post double crochet that means
we'll be ending on a front post double crochet so now we'll slip stitch to the
chain three at the beginning of the round to join and that completes round
two of our cowl now every round going forward is exactly identical we're going
to chain three which counts as our first back post double crochet and we're going
to crochet the stitches as they present themselves to us the next stitch is a
front post double crochet so we're going to front post double crochet around the
post of that stitch the next stitch presents itself as a back post double
crochet so we'll work a back post double crochet around its post and repeat that
around
and then we'll slip stitch to the top of the chain 3 at the beginning of the
round to join please be sure to watch all three parts of this video series to
learn how to make the entire project for this crochet poncho if you have any
questions by all means leave them for me in the comments and please subscribe to

How to Crochet Poncho Part 1 of 3 FRONT Color Stripes with Custom Sizing Info - Duration: 16:19.hi I'm Kristen Omdahl and welcome back to my studio in this tutorial I'm
going to show you how to make this beautiful crochet poncho it's worked in
sections where we're going to crochet pieces then join as we go to create this
beautiful squared off poncho that works from the bottom up to the shoulders we
make an opening for the neck then work our way down to the back and then add
the neck at the very end it's really simple the entire body is done in single
crochet and what I'm going to show you is how to crochet into stitches as
well as into the side of the rows of stitches to create this beautiful design
in my personal opinion ponchos that are straight across the bottom edge are the
most flattering to wear and I love the fact that this gives the illusion of
large sleeves on the sides you could add a button here or you could even sew down
this entire edge to give it more of a kimono sleeve look this pattern features
Be So Brave Yarn which is 100% American merino wool and on sale
for $5.00 per hank on my website for the holiday season you're also going
to need a size L crochet hook which is also eight mm if you prefer a
simpler look you could always crochet two pieces just in the solid side as
well I think this would be really pretty for a second piece and even keeping the
contrast color on the neck I love this way too you can download the free
pattern for this project on my website let's get started for this demonstration
I'm going to be using Be So Brave Yarn which is the same yarn we used in the
poncho I'm just going to use some different colors I'm also going to be
using the same size crochet hook which is 8 mm or an L hook and we are
going to start by tying the yarn onto the crochet hook you can use a solid knot
or a slipknot whichever you prefer and we're going to start with a chain I will
be doing a reduced size sample so I won't be doing the full amount of
stitches make sure you download the free pattern on my website to get the exact
number of stitches you'll be using so I'm going to chain to begin okay so for example i
chained eleven times in the pattern it the first rectangle is to chain 71 and
we're going to crochet into the second chain from our hook now that means we do
not count the loop on our hook that's our working loop so we're going to count
back two chains there's the first chain and the second chain and we're going to
single crochet into that chain and insert your crochet hook yarn over pull
up a loop and yarn over pull through two loops on your hook that's a single
crochet we'll do that again
and we're going to single crochet in each chain across okay we have our first
row of single crochet complete we're now going to chain one turn our work and now
we're ready to begin row two you're going to single crochet into the first
stitch at the beginning of the row this is often confusing for people because
it's hard to recognize what the first stitches you want to make sure you don't
count your chain one as your first stitch so you've got your working loop
on your yarn a working loop on your hook that's the chain one and then the next
one is the first single crochet so we'll insert our crochet hook into the first
stitch into both of the top loops yarn over pull up a loop yarn over pull
through two and that's our first single crochet complete well now single crochet
into each stitch across for Row two you want to repeat row two until you've
created the size of the rectangle that you need for your project if you're
making it exactly the same size as my poncho make sure you follow along in the
written pattern and follow along also on the schematic in fact this one will be
very helpful if you're making it a different size let's say you want to
make it smaller or larger you're going to start with a different sized
rectangle and then add your stripes as you need and so we're going to make this
very very small possibly doll sized or maybe Barbie size I'm not sure so I'm
going to do a couple more rows in single crochet and then I'll show you how to
start the first stripe okay I've done my first rectangle wow it's actually
approximately the size of the schematic how convenient so we're going to fasten
off this yarn and we're going to work our first stripe as a horizontal stripe
this is the easiest stripe because we're really just going to be working along
the stitches that we worked in the last row of the rectangle so I'm going to
grab a second color of yarn and tie the yarn to my crochet hook again however
you prefer to tie your yarn to a crochet hook you could do a slip knot or solid
knot and I'm going to start where I left off
slip stitch to join into that first stitch chain one and work one single
crochet in each of these stitches across weaving in ends is definitely a personal
preference you could either choose to weave them in as you go or you can save
them all for a project at the end as a task at the end of the project sometimes
I love to take it to my knitting club meetings because it's really easy work
that doesn't involve a whole lot of concentrations that I can talk and chat
with everybody and get the job done so I've got my first row complete and again
we just worked the same as we did all the other rows because we just worked
into the stitches so I'm going to chain one now turn my work and one single
crochet in each stitch across for this row and every row for as long as you
want this stripe to be okay I did four rows of my second color which is my
first horizontal stripe and we'll come back to the schematic here it's
important to remember how many rows you've done because you're going to need
to know that for the next section we're now ready to start our first vertical
stripe and what that means is we're going to be working across the end of
rows of the first horizontal stripe and the original rectangle and so what we're
going to do is come back here now instead of turning our work and working
across the last row we worked we're going to turn our work to the side now
and work into the end of rows of these so remember we did six rows here and
four rows here and again if you're doing the actual pattern that I made for the
poncho follow along with the exact numbers there but if you're making this
to any other size this is really important information as long as you
remember how many rows you've done of each stripe it's really easy to remember
it's one to one we're going to chain one and work one single crochet into each of
the four rows of the first horizontal stripe and to each of the six rows of
the original rectangle so we did a chain one we're going to work four single
crochets into the end of rows of these four rows here
and then working across here we've got six rows and sometimes if you need to
count it out first to make sure you have them spaced and recognize it one two
three four five six yeah I understand it and this is a point where you could
crochet over these ends as you go if you prefer to do that instead of weaving
them in later so I'll do that to show you how to do it
okay so there are four stitches here we're at two stitches here three four
five and six okay so that's the beginning of our first vertical stripe
and so we have six and four stitches we have ten stitches and now every row
going on will be exactly the same as the row two and more in each other section
it's a chain one turn your work and one single crochet in each stitch across and
now you'll repeat Row two for as many rows as you need for this striped I'm
going to do four like I did with the stripe here okay we finished our first
vertical stripe and I'm ready to fasten that off so cut my tail and now we're
ready to begin our second horizontal stripe so you'll notice the second
horizontal stripe now we'll work over the end of rows of the first vertical
stripe and across the top stitches of the first horizontal stripe we're going
to work over the end of rows of the first vertical stripe and over the
stitches of the first horizontal stripe so this is a great time to remember that
we have four rows here so we're going to crochet four stitches across here and
then crochet into the ten stitches here so we'll join our yarn into the end of
row at the corner with a slip stitch chain one one single crochet in that row
one single crochet into each of the next three rows and of rows and now we're
ready to crochet into the ten stitches from the top row of the first
horizontal stripe okay so that's the beginning of the second horizontal
stripe and now for the rest of the stripe we're just going to chain one
turn our work and single crochet in each stitch across second horizontal stripe
is complete I'll set it down with this schematic which makes it really helpful
to see where we are so we've done our second horizontal stripe so we're now
ready to do our second vertical stripe and what that means is we're going to
work across these ends of rows and across these stitches so we've have four
end of rows to work across and we have ten whoops let's get that all in the
camera we're going to work across the four end of rows here and we're going to
work across the ten stitches here I mistakenly fastened off this corner we
could have continued to work across this side without cutting the yarn so my
mistake you will have one less end to weave in between the two sections in the
same color you don't need to fasten off your yarn it just saves you a little
extra time at the end so I'll just slip stitch to join this one chain one and
we're going to work one single crochet across each of these end of rows and
then one single crochet into each of these stitches here and you can work
across around the loose ends if you want to or if it they feel like they're being
too bulky you can just leave them too behind and weave them in later okay and
so now we will chain one turn our work and work Row two and all remaining rows
exactly the same to just single crochet in each stitch across and the end of
this stripe we will fasten off okay so now you can see that we have our second
horizontal and second vertical stripes completed and now we're ready to begin
the third horizontal stripe so we'll work across these four end of rows and
then work across all fourteen of these stitches just
remember to keep count of how many stitches you had in each last section
and how many rows or make a note of it or follow the line by line instructions
of the original size we're gonna grab a third color of yarn now to show the
third set of stripes and remember tie your yarn to your crochet hook and we'll
join in the corner with a slip stitch chain one we're gonna work one single
crochet into each of the four end of rows from the last vertical stripe and
then working across the stitches in the last horizontal stripe work one single
crochet in each stitch across and that's the first row of our third horizontal
stripe complete and now the second row will be the same as all the other second
and future rows of each stripe its chain one turn your work and single crochet in
each stitch across okay for the third horizontal stripe I'm only doing two
rows so now without cutting your yarn you're gonna turn your work and get
ready to start your third vertical row which is going to be to chain one and
then work one single crochet into each of those to end of rows and then one
single crochet into each of the stitches from the last vertical row okay and for
our second row we're just going to chain one turn our work and single crochet in
each stitch across and fasten off this color okay so now we have our third
horizontal stripe complete our third vertical stripe complete and now we're
going to do our fourth vertical stripe first before doing our fourth horizontal
stripe last so we're going to pick up where we left off here at the end of the
third vertical stripe and work in each stitch across
with the next color so this time we won't be working into any end of rows
this one's super simple we're just going to join with a slip stitch in the first
stitch chain one and work one single crochet in each stitch across and row
two in all following rows are going to be to chain one turn your work and work
one single crochet in each stitch across
we're now ready to work the last right which is the fourth horizontal stripe
which means we'll be working across the end of rows of the fourth vertical
stripe the end of rows of the third vertical stripe and all the stitches of
the third horizontal stripe so I'll show you that again here we're going to work
across these six end of rows these two end of rows and all of these stitches
here so we're going to chain one one single crochet into each of these six
end of rows
and then one single crochet into each of these to end of rows and you can work
around these tails or skip them if you want whichever makes you more
comfortable and we're going to work in each of these single crochets across
from the last horizontal straight row to in all following rows for this section
same as every other we're going to chain one turn our work and work one single
crochet in each stitch across please continue on for part two to learn how to
make the neck opening and create the back and then in part three we'll make
the cowl neck if you have any questions by all means leave them for me in the

Steph Curry Predicts Which Teams Will Make the NBA Finals - Duration: 2:15.After the Celtics lost their first two games of the 2017-18 NBA season—and lost their
prized free agency acquisition Gordon Hayward in the process, due to a devastating leg injury—there
were some NBA fans who wondered if this year was going to be a bust for Boston.
They had been picked to challenge LeBron James and the Cavaliers in the playoffs this season,
but after seeing the way they played in their opening games without Hayward, it didn't
appear as though that would be a real possibility anymore.
Since then, the Celtics have regained their composure and reeled off 14 wins in a row.
They have played well on both ends of the court, and despite short-term injuries to
Kyrie Irving and Al Horford, they have once again looked like the title contender some
people thought they could be heading into this season.
On Thursday night, the Celtics notched their most impressive win on the season thus far
by knocking off Steph Curry and the Warriors at home after falling behind by as many as
17 points in the second half.
They held the Warriors to just 88 points during the game—the fewest they've ever scored
in a game featuring Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
And after the game, Curry heaped a pile of praise on the Celtics and made a prediction
of sorts when he was asked if he thinks there's a chance the Warriors could face the Celtics
in the NBA Finals at the end of the season.
Curry told reporters that he believes it's "very likely" that Golden State could
end up playing against the Celtics, not the Cavaliers, in the Finals.
"Very, very likely, right?
They're playing the best right now in the East.
Obviously, until they beat Cleveland, who has done it three years in a row, we'll
see.
I hear the weather's great [in Boston] in June, so we'll see."
Before anyone in Boston gets too excited about what Curry said, it's important to remember
that there's still a lot of basketball to be played between now and June.
The Celtics are sitting at 14-2 right now and look like they're ready to jump in the
driver's seat in the East, but they know better than anyone that injuries can happen
and change everything.
There are also trades that are inevitably going to happen throughout the course of the
season that could play a role in who ultimately makes it to the Finals.
But at least for now, the idea of the Warriors and Celtics playing in the NBA Finals this
season, as opposed to the Warriors and Cavaliers, doesn't seem all that crazy when you consider
how well both teams have played so far.
And if Thursday night was any indication, a Finals featuring the Warriors and Celtics
could end up being a lot of fun for NBA fans

Jersey Shore's Vinny G Talks Boardwalk Snacks || SnackTalk - Duration: 14:02.Please, someone, get this out of my sight.
Vinny's appalled.
-Who wants to reinvent bacon?
Bacon is the greatest thing of all time.
-Welcome to "Snack Talk," the show that answers
every snack-related question you could possibly imagine.
Ya know, I really love boardwalks,
and what's not to love?
You got 30-year-old arcade games to play,
bootleg "Family Guy" T-shirts to scope out.
You can even get berated by a dunk tank clown.
That's great.
But the best thing about boardwalks,
it's the snacks, the glorious snacks
and the possibility of taking these
boardwalk snacks to the beach.
But you know, in all my years of being on
and under boardwalks, I've never been able
to truly determine, which of these beach
and boardwalk snacks is the best.
So, who better than to help me out
with this conundrum, than someone you may know
from the cast of "Jersey Shore."
You may also have seen him lately
as the host of various television programs.
There was even a time where he removed
a piece of lint from Pauly D's hair.
Please welcome, Vinny G!
-Hey!
-What's going on?
-How are you?
-Amazing, welcome to the Bodega.
Thank you for being here.
-Oh, thank you for having me.
-Let's talk about some snacks.
-Let's do it.
-So, Vinny.
-Yes.
-What's going on?
-Nothin much, just ya know, came to the Bodega,
I was hungry, wanted to get a snack.
-Fantastic.
-And then I ran into you.
-Yeah, well, here we are.
I'm glad that you're so into snacks.
Vinny G, you are here to help us
get to the bottom of what is the best
boardwalk beach snack.
So let's see, you've been doing some cooking?
-We just did a show on the Cooking Channel
called "Vinny & Ma Eat America."
My mom is this little Sicilian woman
who's never left Staten Island before
so taking her out of Staten Island
all over the country to try new food was hilarious.
Italian moms don't like eating new things.
-What would you say mom's favorite snack is?
-Ah man, she likes the stuff that she makes.
So she makes this thing call struffoli.
You guys ever hear of struffoli?
-No.
-They're like these fried honey balls.
So they take dough and then you deep-fry them
and you dip them in honey and you put
rainbow sprinkles on top.
It's like an Italian treat that you eat during the holidays.
And they are delicious.
-Really?
-Yeah.
-Wow.
-I gotta bring some back for you guys.
-Yeah.
All right so Vinny you are here to help us
determine which is the absolute best
of boardwalk beach snacks.
-Yes.
-We've devised a method to help us
determine which is the best of beach boardwalk snacks.
I was up all night thinking about it,
and this is a variation on the classic game
(bleep), Marry, Kill, but without the
misogyny, commitment, or potential for murder.
-Right.
-So we are calling this game,
Snack, Bury, Chill.
Snacks that we like, we'll set them aside.
-So clever.
-For immediate consumption.
Great.
Thank you so much.
-Yeah.
-Snacks that we can't stand, we're gonna bury them,
right in the sand.
And then snacks that we're all right with,
we're gonna chill in the cooler
and maybe we'll have them later.
OK.
Enter, the sand.
-Ta-da!
-Pretty nice, huh?
Before we attack this task,
it's important that we take some precautions.
Here, I have a towel for you.
-Oh thank you.
-Absolutely.
And I have to, safety first Vinny, safety first.
-Is that sunscreen?
-Yeah, who's the white nerd now, Vinny?
-You just made it worse.
-Oh man this is a fried food feud.
-That is a hard one.
-Here we got deep-fried Oreos, churros and
please give us the definitive pronunciation
of this treat.
-Zeppole.
-Not, zepolay.
-No, not zepolay.
Zepolay sounds like a High-school douchebag.
-Fair, fair, I mean, how do you feel about these?
-Oh man, you want me to go first?
-Yeah.
-OK, I'll start it off.
So, I'm gonna kill the deep-fried Oreo.
-Yeah, why so?
-I've had them before, and it's a bit excessive.
-It's a freaking novelty, Vinny, I'm right there with you.
-It is, ya know, it's just like,
who's ordering, I'm a fat kid at heart,
but I'm not that fat.
I like a deep-fried piece of dough
is good enough for me, or just an Oreo.
I don't have to blend them together,
and really feel like I'm a piece of (bleep).
-I agree with you, look, these two critters here
have stood the test of time.
They were here 50 years ago, they'll be here
50 years in the future, but think about it,
the deep-friend fair food is falling off.
We've already moved on to unicorn bar food.
-Exactly.
-All right, well I'm with you on that.
-So I'm gonna bury the deep-fried Oreo.
-Put it in its quartz-based grave.
-This is kinda nasty now.
I feel like I'm making chicken cutlets.
(laughs)
OK.
(laughs)
-All right and then we're gonna move on to the churro.
Do you feel like the churro is a West Coast
thing more than an East Coast thing?
I don't see them a lot on the East Coast.
-From myself, as a Brooklyn person,
I hang out in the neighborhoods
that have a high Hispanic population.
-OK.
-And so I see them occasionally,
mostly sold in the subway.
-Mm.
-But-
-Or like real bodegas and stuff.
Yeah.
-But, you know, I don't know, I could go either way on these.
-Well I think a churro is just basically
like a long donut, or a zeppole or something like that.
So I kinda see these as one in the same,
but you know what, because I kind of have a liking for them
but they don't really do it for me that much,
I'm gonna chill it.
-Chillin' on the churro.
-Chillin' on the churro.
-Un churro frio.
So that means zeppoles.
-Oh, zeppoles I'm keeping, let me tell you
about this guy.
My mom makes zeppoles in Staten Island
and the pizzerias, they have zeppoles,
they are amazing. You put some
Nutella in one of these things,
you dip it in some powdered sugar:
You can't get better in life.
Wow.
I will literally (bleep) thinking about it.
-Oh man, fantastic.
-Not right now.
-Don't think any harder.
-Yeah, sorry.
-Fantastic, all right, so we will save the zeppole
for later snack consumption and
we will move on to the next round.
-I'm ready.
-All right.
The eliminations are gonna get a lot more tricky.
I have a feeling you're gonna be biased
towards one of these things.
So here we are, we have pizza,
a lobster roll, and fish tacos.
-Can you go first?
-Yeah.
-I have a lot to think about with this.
-Yeah, I will.
So I think the thing that I wanna snack for me
is probably, and maybe I'm being an elitist
but it's probably the lobster roll
and I just think about the idea
of a lobster roll, and I don't want a lobster roll
in the city, I don't want a lobster roll at my house,
I want a lobster roll at the beach,
but I feel like I could have fish tacos and pizza
anywhere and it would be fine,
but a lobster roll, in a bodega, no.
So for me, that is the snack of choice,
the problem is, I think the taco is a better
beach snack but I love pizza more,
and I hate to say this to one of the loves
of my life, but I think I'm gonna have to
bury pizza and chill on the tacos.
-Wow, that is shocking.
Each one of these things could be amazing
or they could be horrible.
-Well said.
-I am very biased when it comes to pizza.
I could have horrible pizza where I would bury it.
So assuming, I just want everyone to know this,
assuming that these are all the best
of the options here, this is pizza
from Staten Island, this is a lobster roll
they imported from Maine, and that's fish tacos
that doesn't smell like, you know.
I will say, I am burying the fish tacos.
-Bury that fish taco.
-Because I just don't know.
-We both agree on that.
-I just don't know what's up inside of that fish taco.
So I'm burying that, this is disgusting.
-Thank you for your sacrifice.
-I am going to chill the lobster roll,
equally disgusting, 'cause you know
we gotta freshen that up a little bit.
And again, if this is the best pizzeria,
if this is a great pizza...
-We're gonna snack on that pizza.
-This is the greatest single invention on earth.
Whoever invented pizza, was an Italian guy probably right?
-Oh I'm sure.
-I wanna thank him and kiss him,
'cause pizza, you can't go wrong with pizza,
you always have to keep pizza.
You can honestly put anything up here
and I'll still pick the slice of pizza on there.
-Pizza wins.
-So the fact that you buried it, I don't like you.
-I didn't bury it, I chilled on it.
-No, I think you buried it.
-No, I buried the taco, didn't I bury the taco?
-I think you buried pizza.
-Roll back to see.
(tape rewinding)
I think I'm gonna have to bury pizza
and chill on the tacos.
-You buried pizza, even you're a denier,
you're a pizza denier.
-You sold me, Vinny, you changed me.
Now get these tacos out of our sight.
-Yeah, throw it back in the ocean.
-So Vinny, I want you know that I
personally drove all the way to the
Jersey Shore boardwalk to procure
these fine foods for you.
Don't let the little ends on the cup fool you, OK?
-I just saw a homeless guy outside selling this.
-All right, how do you feel about these frosty treats?
-All right, so right away, I'm going to bury
this little contraption you call a snow cone,
right here. Snow cones, I don't really see the point
in having them; there are so many better things
you can order as far as dessert goes.
It's really just eating flavored ice.
Now I love these two things, I love a milkshake,
and I love ice cream, right?
-Right.
-The milkshake to me, I get confused about.
You know when you go to a diner,
you order a milkshake, but it's like,
do I eat it before I eat my meal?
Is it a beverage for my meal?
But to me, it's dessert, but I don't know if it's dessert.
You know what I mean, I get really confused.
But I love milkshakes so I'm gonna chill
on the milkshake.
-Wow, you should be like a snack lawyer.
-I can talk about this all day.
And now on the boardwalk,
on a nice hot summer day, you got an ice cream cone.
Don't even overcomplicate it,
just get a nice twist, maybe add some sprinkles to it,
but once you start messing with all the other flavors,
I don't (bleep) with it.
So, I'm gonna keep this.
-Fantastic.
-Yeah.
-All right, ice cream wins.
The next round.
Chocolate-covered bacon,
chocolate-covered frozen banana, and watermelon.
This is the battle of the fruits.
I consider bacon to be kinda a fruit.
(laughs)
-Me too.
-All right, which one would you bury
and which one is the snack of your dreams.
-OK, right away, you gotta get this
as far away from me as possible.
What the hell?
As a bacon lover, I find this offensive.
Is this a real thing?
-Yeah, bite into it, bro.
-Someone out there, no.
Someone out there is eating.
I've heard of, even candy bacon,
you know when they put a coat of sugar on it?
It's a little excessive to me.
Who wants to reinvent bacon?
Bacon is the greatest thing of all time
and you want to put chocolate on it?
-Wow.
All right, bury it, bro.
-I'm burying.
And you know honestly, I would bury it as well,
I think this was invented purely for novelty sake,
to get likes on Instagram, and that's not
the kind of food that I want on my set.
-Yeah, go back to Williamsburg.
-Indeed, well said.
Please someone, get this out of my sight.
Vinny's appalled.
(snapping)
-Wow, I like the service around here.
-Keep this in, it will be great.
All right, now we've got chocolate-covered banana
which is slowly melting onto me.
Or the watermelon.
Watermelon, it's kinda like
nature's candy, the watermelon.
-It really is.
You know, I'm going to have to
chill the chocolate-covered banana.
I mean, those things are amazing.
-Yeah.
-I'm not gonna lie, ya know.
They're the perfect combination
if you want to get your fruit in,
and you're chocolate and everything,
it's a great, when you're hot, a great treat.
But I love watermelon, and we've been looking
at all these (bleep) foods that are gonna kill you,
you know, so.
Yeah.
For health purposes and to end this
on a nice healthy note...
-Watermelon.
-I'm picking the watermelon.
-I understand.
All right Vinny, I need you to crown a victor.
We told these people that we would give them
the absolute best of boardwalk snacks.
Which snack is the best?
-The pizza is my favorite food ever, right?
But it has to be good pizza.
But you could also get pizza anywhere.
You brought me here for a reason.
-I did.
-You wanted to talk about a boardwalk snack, right?
-Give me the snacks.
-I think fried dough, powdered sugar,
wins takes everything for the boardwalk consumption,
I'm going with the zeppole.
-There you have it my friends.
-It has a cool name, it's Italian -- zeppole all day.
-There you have it, the zeppole,
is indeed the greatest snack for you
to consume on the boardwalk.
Vinny thank you so much for getting
to the bottom of what is the best boardwalk beach snack.
-My pleasure.
-Listen, I gotta tell you, your swag
is starting to rub off on me and I've been inspired.
Yeah it's true, see the greatest thing
about having your own bodega is
after you're done using it, you can
turn it into one heck of a club.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Zeppoles, the No. 1 beach snack.
-I'm outta here, loser.
-Aww.

Adventure Of A Lifetime (S2 Ep4) "The fighting dog" - Duration: 2:56.-------------------------------------------
Forgiveness | Dr. Ed Young - Duration: 28:31.♪ Theme music ♪
Forgiveness!
That's a big word, isn't it?
Forgiveness.
Forgiveness has about it a mystery,
and I think we all wonder at times,
"Has God really forgiven me?
I mean, all of these times, I've gone back over and over
-has He really?
Does He keep on forgiving me?
Am I forgiven?"
And then we wonder, "Have, have I really forgiven other people?
Have I forgiven them?
Have I let them off the hook?"
And then, "Have people forgiven me?"
So forgiveness is a big, mysterious word.
So we say, "Forgive us our debts,
or forgive us our trespasses," and some translations said,
"Forgive us of our wrongs..."
I like it-"Forgive us of our sins..."
I got that one!
And you can do a linguistic study of the word for sin,
or trespasses, or debts in the Bible.
There's a lot of words.
It means to miss the mark; it means to come up short.
It means to step over the line.
It means to get out of the path.
It means to do your own thing.
It means to rebel.
There's a lot of word and nuances of the word
"sin" and "debts" and trespasses" and "wrongs"
all the way through the Scripture.
But we worry about the Lord's Prayer.
We say, you know, in some churches, they say "debts".
Other churches, they say "trespasses".
What's that all about?
I like one simple explanation I read.
He said it's the difference between
Scotchman and the Englishman.
He said that you go to a Scottish Presbyterian
church-they say, "Forgive us our debts."
Scotchman are into money and debt and being skin-flints,
and cheap, and so they're worried about being in debt;
so they use the word "debt".
Go to English church, church of England, Episcopal church;
they'll say "Forgive us our trespasses..."
The English are interested in property, in lines, and man when
you trespass, you go over that line...
So the difference in being an Englishman and a Scotchman,
debts and trespasses; I like to use the word "sin".
"Forgive us our sin..."
Now somebody might say, "Why do we have to
pray that if we're a Christian?
This is a believer's prayer."
So I want us to see two simple, basic things that every Jesus
follower needs to have nailed down in their life.
A lot of things you can forget and wonder about.
You'll need this.
You need to know how to get right with God, and you need to
know how to stay right with God.
Isn't that it?
Can get more basic than that.
How do you get right with God?
You need three words!
Every person, if you don't have these words,
write it down in your Bible.
Use lipstick, a pen, pencil, mascara, write it down!
We need these three words the rest of
our lives if we're Jesus followers.
First of all, we need it to get right with God.
We need to stay right with God.
What are those words?
Conviction!
We become a Christian when the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin.
I have stepped over the line; I have fumbled; I have failed;
I have struck out; I have lied; I have deceived.
Conviction of sin is where it all starts,
and the Holy Spirit does that.
I can dangle everybody here over the fires of Hell for 30 minutes
-say, "Whoo, boy, I'm glad to get out of there!"
But it is the Holy Spirit that brings conviction
in my life and your life.
That's the first step of being a Christian.
Conviction-gotta have that word.
Then there is confession.
We are convicted of sin; we confess sin.
Don't say, "Forgive me of my many sins..."
Spell it out.
Be specific.
Be specific...
Confession of sin.
And then what do we do?
We repent.
We turn away from all known sin.
We move in the opposite direction.
Now this is how we become a Christian, those three words.
You have to have 'em to get right with God.
Conviction-the Holy Spirit does it.
Confession, and then we repent and we receive Christ-bang!
We're in the family of God.
This in one sense is a judicial process.
God is a holy God.
He cannot tolerate debts, trespasses, wrongs and sins.
They have to be dealt with.
You see, God doesn't leave any loose ends out there,
so it has to be dealt with.
We know that Jesus Christ came on the Cross.
He took all that I owe.
He took every time I had stepped over the line.
He took all of my sins and all of yours, and He died for us.
He paid the price.
He is the substitute for you in
a court of law before Almighty God.
He died on your behalf.
He took the judgment that you and I deserve upon Himself.
This is what happens-this is how we get right with God
-those three words.
Let me explain in a very simple way: There was a family walking
through the plains of Georgia-grass about this high,
taking a stroll, large, large valley, and they looked behind
them and they saw a brush fire that started.
And the wind was pushing that fire rapidly in their direction.
There was no way they could escape.
Fire was moving in!
Nowhere to run!
Flames everywhere!
But the father, who was an outdoorsman, took a match and
lighted a fire where the family was,
and they established a burned out place.
And they stepped back.
The fire was coming, and this place burned out.
So after the grass here was burned, he got his family in the
middle of that burned out place, and when the fire was moving
rapidly for them, it just went around them.
There was nothing to burn!
They were safe!
It went over them.
They were not harmed, or singed in any way
because there was nothing to burn.
The fire moved over them.
This is what happens on the Cross.
We stand in judgment for our sin.
Jesus has already paid the price.
There's no double jeopardy there, and so we have to stay in
that burned-out place with Christ at the Cross, and the
judgment passes over us because there's nothing for you and for
me to be judged about because Jesus has paid the price;
He has paid it all, see?
We're in that burned out place.
This is how we get right with God.
You've gotta have those three words
-conviction, confession, repentance.
Now, how do you stay right with God?
Well, I don't know about you, but since I became a Christian,
I've not sinned any more.
You know, I've just -I've been perfect!
It's just been amazing to observe!
That's not quite the way it is, is it?
So what do you do about sin in the life of a Christian?
You need those same three words to stay right with God.
Conviction of sin, the Holy Spirit does that.
Confession of sin, and repentance from sin.
To get right, there's where we go.
To stay right, there's where we go,
and let's talk about confession.
You know our problem with confession?
Our problem is the little weak word, "but".
Let me, let me tell you -we don't own our sin.
This is how we confess-"Lord, forgive me for losing my temper.
I know I'm wrong, but everybody in my family has a temper..."
"Lord, forgive me for those lustful thoughts, but,
You made me like this..."
"Lord, forgive me for wanting the approval of people more than
I want Your approval; but isn't most everybody like that?"
You see, we put these little if, ands, or buts in there...
Listen!
Confession is taking ownership of sin!
I made the choice.
I stepped out of bounds.
I went in that direction.
I am wrong!
Don't put any defense up.
Confess that sin.
By the way, how long has it been since you've confessed a
sin-something that you should have done and you didn't do?
You know, we don't confe...
"Lord, you know, I, I...
Lord, forgive me because I didn't..."
Oh, "Forgive me, Lord, because I did..."
But evidently that's a big deal because in Matthew 25,
Jesus is there, the sheep and the goats, and He says,
"Hey, where were you when I was naked?
You weren't there.
When I needed clothes, where were you when I was in prison?
Where were you when I was broken?
Where were you when I was hungry?
Where were you when I had all these problems?"
And we say, "Lord, we didn't know!
We didn't see; we didn't know."
He said, "You didn't open your eyes!
The little ones, the people around you
-you should have known!"
What happens to us in our sins of omission, what we omit?
Why do we miss things?
We work with people, we live with people and suddenly,
their lives lose out in a disastrous way.
They go into depression.
They go into all, have all kinds of problems that explode their
lives, and you know what we say?
"You know, I see them all the time and I didn't know..."
That's the excuse we give.
Why do we not pick up on this?
It's because we don't really love folks.
When you love something or someone,
you always have understanding.
A mother loves her children.
She understands them because she's read all
the books on child psychology?
No, because she loves!
If you love botany, you're going to understand botany.
Whatever we love, we understand.
And therefore, because we're not sensitive-we do not love, we do
not see, we do not feel-oh, we love-"Well, there in trouble!
I'm going to help them..."
Before they're in trouble, if we love, we understand and then we
can move in ahead of time!
So we pray for sins omission-what we do not do.
We confess that, as well as sins of commission, and we pray,
I pray, "Lord, give me quick eyes to see."
Isn't that what we need?
Quick eyes of love to see!
Love has understanding.
It's just built in.
So, how do you get right with God?
Three words!
Conviction-Holy Spirit does that.
Confession, repentance.
How do you stay right with God when we fumble
and step over the line as Christians?
Same three words-you got to have those words built in your life,
your vocabulary, your Christian experience if you're going to
get right-yes, and if you're going to stay right.
Now, look at the second part of this: Forgive us our sins, and
then look at this: "...as we forgive those
who sin against us."
By the way, this is the most important
part of the Lord's Prayer.
If we take the Lord's Prayer, we'd write on a screen-it is
this Verse that ought to blink!
Voom, boom, boom!
It ought to be large print; it ought to be emphasized.
It is the most important part.
It is the heart of the prayer.
You say, "Well, how do you know that?"
It is because it is the only part of the prayer that after
the prayer was completed, Jesus in Verse 13 and 14,
He explains this.
He underscores it again.
He says, "I don't want you to miss that."
He is saying, "if you are going to be forgiven by God, you'd
better be in the forgiving business as
God is in the forgiving business."
Years ago, the families moved away over ten years ago.
There's a family in our church-father,
mother, cute little girl, little guy.
The girl was 13; the boy was about 7.
The mother went to pick them up at school.
As they were going home, they stopped in front of the house.
The little girl, 13 year old girl
got out and went to the mailbox.
She opened the mailbox, and she found in there a note
-a note that was meant for her mother;
but the 13 year old girl picked up the note.
It was a note from her father's mistress saying to the mother,
"He loves me.
He doesn't love you.
Go ahead and get the divorce, etc., etc...
She was trying to speed up the process.
And this 13 year old girl read that note.
Needless to say, she was devastated.
Needless to say, her mother was devastated.
Needless to say, that little home just exploded
in many, many directions.
But the 13 year old girl-it hit her perhaps harder than anybody
else because she was her daddy's girl.
And she would come to the church and stay hours.
She would spend the night with members of our staff.
She just couldn't go home while
they were going through all this process.
And this is what she said.
You'll never forget it.
She said, "How can I forgive my daddy?"
Said, "How can I forgive him?"
And then she would say, "Even if I knew how to forgive him,
I don't want to forgive him!"
Can you identify with that?
Is there somebody out there who so hurt, abused, shamed-man,
you say, "I just, I don't see how I can forgive this person,
but even if I knew how,
I really don't want to forgive this person."
Let me tell you where forgiveness starts.
We have to first of all forgive unilaterally.
Say, "Well what does that mean?"
It means we forgive people when
they don't even ask for our forgiveness.
Say, "Well, they didn't ask..."
Oh no!
We forgive unilaterally.
Sometimes we forgive when they don't ask because it's such
a trivial thing, it's an irritant to us
-just go ahead and forgive them.
Sometimes, they're such jerks, they're not worth fooling with;
they're not worth messing up your life
-just go ahead and forgive them.
You say, "Well, is there a Biblical background for this?
Unilateral forgiveness?
Absolutely!
Jesus on the Cross-those who executed Him, they weren't
asking to be forgiven, but Jesus just unilaterally said,
you know, "I forgive you."
Stephen, being stoned -he looked up.
He said, "Father, forgive them..."
They weren't asking for forgiveness, but he said,
"Father, forgive them.
I forgive them."
That's unilateral forgiveness.
We need to practice that!
Just go ahead and forgive.
Some people are still holding a grudge against
a father who abused them.
Well you father's been dead for 6 years!
He's not going to come back and say,
"Oh, I want you to forgive me!"
Just unilaterally forgive them.
And, then there is relational forgiveness.
We sort of enjoy having that hatred.
We enjoy saying, "Boy, I hope God will
soon come in and zap 'em!"
You know, I just hope-anything bad's gonna happen, boy, the way
they treated me-look what's happened to me..."
And so there's a relational, and so we keep on, we're pulling on
the same thing, the same revenge, the same hatred,
the same ideas.
We want to bring them down.
We just can't forgive!
It's like, this is a big bell tower here-there's a bell up
there and we have a rope, and we pull that rope-it goes bongggg!
Boongggg!
And we keep pulling on that revenge-bonggg!
I remember what you did!
Bonggg!
I remember what you said.
Bonggg!
I remember how you abused me!
Bonggg!
I remember how you embarrassed me!
Bonggg!
And we keep on pulling on that rope,
and pulling on that rope...
Let me tell you something: Let go of the rope.
Forgive.
Let go of the rope!
Are you gonna let that person control you and scar you and
keep you captive to that event,
or that misdeed all the rest of your life?
My goodness!
How absurd can that be?
Let go of the rope!
Now when you let go of the rope, it may bong a little bit, you
know-you been been ringing that bell
of revenge a long time-bongggg!
Bonggg!
But gradually, it'll fade out...bong...
until you won't hear it any more.
The pain may still be there; but you've let go of the rope.
You've let go of the rope.
You have forgiven.
You know what this Verse is really saying?
Jesus is saying in this Verse, "You have received the grace of
God; therefore, now that you have received it, the grace of
God must go through you and offer grace to others.
If you receive grace, you have to give grace.
That's the principle.
You can't receive grace and just bottle it up
-say, "I'm not gonna forgive!
I'm not gonna forget..."
No, you have to-it has to pass through you.
Has to pass through you to others.
Has to pass through you to those you haven't forgive.
Otherwise, they're gonna keep you captive
for the rest of your life!
As God has set you free in Christ,
we are to set others free!
It's a supernatural thing.
I can't do it in my own volition.
But He enables us to forgive when we're reminded how much
we've been forgiven.
How do we forgive?
We forgive the way we have been forgiven.
"I don't want to forgive!"
Oh no-we want to forgive because we have been greatly forgiven.
Remember Matthew 18?
Great little Chapter.
Peter-I like Peter!
He's such a-he's so obvious, you know?
He tries to be super-pious; you just see right through him,
just like we see through one another.
So Pete one day said to Jesus, "Jesus..."
I can imagine he had a little whine-"Jesus, how many times do
we forgive someone?
Seven times?"
Now the rabbis said you forgive people three times,
so Pete just doubled and added one.
"Oh, Jesus, we're so pious!
How many times do I forgive people?
Seven times?"
Jesus said, "Look-you forgive people seventy times seven!
Four hundred and ninety times!"
What?
What was Jesus saying to Peter?
Peter, quit counting!
You're not an accountant!
Somebody says, "Oh, you did this to me, and you did this to me,
and boy, I did this to you..."
We're not in the accounting business.
We've been forgiven; we're in the forgiving business.
We've been given grace-we're in the grace business!
And then following this, Jesus told a tremendous parable.
A tremendous story!
He said, "Once there was a king,
and a man owed him twelve million dollars."
Pretty good debt!
I thought about that -how in the world could
a servant owe twelve million dollars?
Only way I could figure it-he stole it from the king because
the king was the only one who would have twelve million.
Anyway, so the king said, "Hey, pay me!"
The guys says, "Can't do it.
Give me time."
King says, "Take this guy and his family.
Sell all of his property.
Put him in jail until he can pay me back."
I never understand how someone will make money in jail to pay
back a debt; but anyway-I'm not good at accounting.
So the man had, said, "Lord, have compassion on me.
Forgive me.
Forgive me of this debt!"
The king saw his family, had compassion,
and forgave him of a twelve million dollar debt!
Wheww!
Now the man goes out.
One of his friends, another servant,
owed him twenty thousand dollars.
He said, "Hey!
Pay me the twenty grand that you owe me!"
Guy says, "I can't do it.
Give me time!"
He said, "Take him and put him in jail!
Take his family!
Man, stay there until you pay me back!"
And the man says, "Have compassion!"
Same thing he asked for from the king.
But he wouldn't give compassion to the servant.
He said, "No deal!
It's been long enough.
Put him in jail."
Now his friends went and told the king what this ungrateful
servant had done and said, "You know what he did?
This guy-you just forgive him twelve million.
He wouldn't even give time for his friend to pay him back
twenty-thousand dollars-he's thrown him in jail!"
And the king-representing God-was indignant!
He said, "Go and get that ungrateful
rascal (Young's translation) and throw him in
jail until he pays the debt!"
Now I want you to watch this.
This is tricky.
Did the man owe the king twelve million?
Oh no, no, no, no!
The king had already forgiven the twelve million.
But he's in jail until he pays the debt.
What did he owe?
The debt that he owed was the forgiveness he had received; he
had to give that forgiveness to others, and that he did not do.
That's the debt he owed; not the twelve million.
That's away.
It's forgiven.
It's a debt of forgiving others.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Whatever we do today, that name that came to your mind as
we prayed-unilaterally forgive them.
Set them free so you can be free,
so grace can flow to you and to me.
We can be forgiven; therefore, we can be
in the forgiving business to others.
So to sum up everything this passage is teaching us in this
prayer of Jesus, I'm going to sum it up with a profound,
theological statement.
You ready?
Let go of the rope!
For a limited time, Dr. Young would like to give you his book,
"The Winning Walk".
It's our gift to you for your
financial support of this ministry.
(Dr. Young) Did you know walking involves practically
every muscle in the body?
None of us are born with the ability to walk.
It requires strength,
and balance and coordination and time.
I have found walking with God is no different.
No one instantly becomes an overcoming Christian!
We must take those first timid steps,
clinging to the Fathers hand before we can walk worthy of
our calling as Children of the King.
Like all journeys, The Winning Walk requires
the proper equipment and preparation.
By outfitting our lives with the Word of God,
we will be able to follow wherever the Master leads.

For centuries, earnest believers have observe the stations of the
cross as a devotional exercise to reflect on the importance of
Christ sacrifice on the cross.
We have created a unique online collection of devotionals on our
website to help you remember some of those historical events
and to lead you to worship God, the amazing sacrifice,
on our behalf.
This is not a traditional rendering of the stations of the
cross, but a fresh new perspective on an ancient
practice to help us remember and embrace the passion story.
As we enter this Easter season I encourage you to take part
in the passion week experience.
Log onto our website, winningwalk.org and sign up for
your passion week devotional.
Each day you'll be guided through the events of passion
week with a scripture, a historical description of
the station, and a prayer.
It's like going to the holy land.
Use this devotional to prepare yourself for the celebration of
the resurrection on the Sunday above all Sunday's
- Easter Sunday!
