Christ's arrangement with us is similar to a mom providing music lessons for her child.

Mom pays the piano teacher.

Because Mom pays the debt in full, she can turn to her child and ask for something.

Practice!

Does the child's practice pay the piano teacher?

No.

Does the child's practice repay Mom for paying the piano teacher?

No.

Practicing is how the child shows appreciation for Mom's incredible gift.

It is how he takes advantage of the amazing opportunity Mom is giving him

to live his life at a higher level.

Mom's joy is found not in getting repaid

but in seeing her gift used—

seeing her child improve.

And so she continues to call for practice, practice, practice.

But this practice has a different purpose than punishment or payment.

Its purpose is change.

Christ's grace is sufficient to help us in that process.

"But Brother Wilcox, don't you realize how hard it is to practice?

I'm just not very good at the piano.

I hit a lot of wrong notes.

It takes me forever to get it right."

Now wait.

Isn't that all part of the learning process?

When a young pianist hits a wrong note,

we don't say he is not worthy to keep practicing.

We don't expect him to be flawless.

We just expect him to keep trying.

Perfection may be his ultimate goal,

but for now we can be content with progress in the right direction.

The Philippines' Most Active Volcano Is On The Verge Of Eruption

MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines raised the alert level at its Mayon volcano on Monday after a loud explosion in the wake of increased activity made a hazardous eruption likelier, prompting authorities to close all schools and urge residents to stay indoors.

Mayon, the country's most active volcano, has been spewing ash, lava, and pyroclastic material since Jan.

13, displacing close to 40,000 residents in the central province of Albay.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised its alert on Mayon to level 4, signifying a hazardous eruption is imminent, from level 3, which warns that such an eruption could be "weeks or even days" away.

"We strongly advise all people, both residents and tourists, to avoid the danger zone, and airlines to avoid flying near the volcano summit," agency chief Renato Solidum told a news conference.

The danger zone around the 2,462-meter (8,077-foot) volcano has been expanded to a radius of 8 km (5 miles), he added.

Solidum said the agency had recorded increased seismic activity and "lava fountaining and a summit explosion" from Sunday night, indicating more explosions ahead, including a hazardous eruption.

A level 5 alert signifies a hazardous eruption is underway.

Albay province has run out of emergency funds and more people would be evacuated once government financial help arrived, said provincial governor Al Francis Bichara.

He ordered schools to suspend classes, amid ash fall warnings following the explosion at the volcano.

"In some areas.it's already zero visibility, especially along the foot of the volcano," he told CNN Philippines, adding that strong winds could carry ash to distant towns.

″(People) have to stay home and if they intend to get out of their houses, they have to wear masks," Bichara said.

Is it Bullying? Use the Bully Detector! (intro) - Duration: 1:59.

How can I tell the difference between bullying and just being mean?

Hi, guys.

You know that, bullying, is an EMERGENCY, right?

People can get really hurt, and even die, because of bullying.

So it's critical, we all know, how to tell BULLYING, from just meanness or teasing.

So, UpGo came up with a Bully Detector --

A simple, memorable way, for anyone, to identify true bullying.

Here's just a short summary of how you use it:

When you see behavior that is, FISHY,

meaning it has, "F" "I" "S" or "H,"

you might have true bullying.

Bullying behavior typically has one, or more, of these factors:

It's FREQUENT. Or it's repetitive.

Or even only one time, if it is pervasive, or widespread.

There's INTENT to harm.

Someone wants to hurt someone.

The behavior is SEVERE.

Maybe it would be described as, vicious, brutal or threatening.

or, there's HARM.

Someone's in pain, or their life is being significantly negatively affected.

If we see a BullyFISH, any part of it, even if it just smells like FISH,

we have the confidence to say,

"Wait... this is beyond just mean...

This might be serious, and illegal, bullying. This is an emergency."

And we take action.

Dealing with bullying behavior is tricky.

You need to arm yourself with more knowledge.

So, we've put together, the Cyberbullying AID Program.

It's a series of videos, to give you

the full scoop on the Bully Detector.

And, you'll learn the APA Technique, to ASSESS, PLAN, and then ACT.

And, you'll see the Bullying PEACE Plan,

which gives you the ACTIONS you can take, to stop bullying in its tracks.

So, check out the Cyberbullying AID Program in the UpGo app.

Please remember to, watch out for the BullyFISH.

If you see it, treat it like an emergency.

Thanks for thinking about this stuff, and for making good decisions!
