Volunteer to Be a Debate Judge

Given the "talent" on this particular forum, there's no doubt that many of you would make excellent debate judges. In middle and high schools across the country, students are spending a lot of time doing research, training and refining their skills as persuasive speaker and in competition, there's a need for volunteer lay judges. Relatively little experience is needed and it's a great way to "give back" to the community and to bear witness to some very bright and enthusiastic students. Just contact your local schools for info, I'm sure they'll be happy to have you on board.

. . . and now for something completely different . . .




Dr. Farmer's most recent article is much more interesting:

Chapter 1
What Are Power Animals?

Power animals are spirit guides in animal form, valuable allies who can help you navigate through life's challenges and transitions. Perceptive and trustworthy oracles, you can turn to them for advice and counsel on any questions or concerns. They're exceptional teachers who'll help you learn about both the spirit world and the natural world. Working with them on a regular basis will enhance your personal life and expand your spiritual capacities immensely.


Power animals can appear in meditations, visions, dreams, shamanic journeys, or on the earth in their physical form. They can be mammals, birds, or reptiles. Even so-called mythical animals such as unicorns or dragons can be power animals, although they have no physical representations in the material world. Since a spirit animal's power is drawn from their instinctual and wild nature, it's uncommon, however, for purely domesticated animals such as pets to be power animals.


The source of power for your animal spirit guide is not just a single animal, but the entire species. For instance, if your power animal is Bear, it's not just any particular bear, but an animal spirit guide that's representative of the entire species of bears.

Okay....time for a little confession.

Growing up, my father organized a weekly "Toastmaster's" on Sunday evening. Right after the family dinner, we all (my siblings and I) gave a 3-5 minute speeches and were graded on our performance. My oldest brother usually won He ended up being Captain of the Debate Team in H.S.
