Jesus, this is above your "Pay grade"

Luke 8:49b KJV
"...Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master."

I wouldn't blame them for this piece of advice to those who were troubling the Master. Afterall, it was obvious to all, the child was dead

1. They probably didn't really

""KNOW" Jesus.
2. They probably knew or heard He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, healed one or two crippled folks, and the best they probably heard of Jesus was that, when He showed up at Peter's workplace, He did what could be termed as an exceptional miracle. Well,
Elijah did similar stuffs anyways, they said.
3. The knew Jesus to be a gentle and easy going and probably did not show any sign of someone that could raise the dead, someone in the semblance of Elijah who called down fire or Elisha who was a bit temperamental and performed some
very powerful miracles.
4. Jesus? Oh pleaseeeeee. Raising a child is above His "pay grade" He doesn't have the pedigree or looks, they said.

Nkw, imagine Jesus coming in and making them look stupid by saying in V52

Luke 8:52 MSG
Everyone was crying and carrying on over her.
Jesus said, "Don't cry. She didn't die; she's sleeping."

Like seriously?
Jesus, You must really have some nerve coming in here and telling us we dint know the difference between a chil sleeping & a child that is stone cold dead.

Luke 8:53 MSG
They laughed at him. They knew she
was dead.

Ofcourse, they laughed. They scorned. They thought Jesus was nuts. (Would you blame them?)

Suddenly, the unthinkable happened

Luke 8:54 msg
Then Jesus, gripping her hand, called, "My dear child, get up."
Luke 8:55 MSG
She was up in an instant, up & breathing again!
He told them to give her something to eat.

"In an Instant"
No stories.
No long thing.

It's God we are talking about here nau.
When He shows up, the outcome is always mind-blowing.

God will show up for you.
In that situation that appear so overwhelming,
In that situation

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
"I really want to break into Product Management"

make products.

"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."

Make Products.

"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."

MAKE PRODUCTS.

Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics –
https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
