It certainly seems that the Jesus we, as the modern church have inherited is greatly distorted from the Jesus Yancey describes as brilliant, untamed, tender, creative, slippery, irreducible, [and] paradoxically humble (p. 265).

I remember as clear as yesterday when I was standing in front in the Volle Evangelie kerk, church ready to recite a poem for The congregationa and specially for my mother. The poem was called “My Mamie”, my mother I got stage fright and I said that same prhase over at least 5 times then ran off the front. Well I am not going to do that now. Before I get into the juicy part of this memoirs I need to remind you that I loved my mother dearly. I was glad to have a mother like her, she was not…

I remember the day when my mother dropped me off at the front door of my pre-school class- the welcoming teachers who were extra tender, the vibrant wall decorations, and the clueless children who were dominantly from Mexican heritage, but the image that strikes me most is of me hugging my Guatemalan mother’s leg, telling me “Todo ba estar bien mijio.” translated in English as “son, everything will be fine.” Only I knew understood my mother 's words since she spoke in Guatemalan Spanish instead…

In his pioneer model for dividend smoothing, Lintner (1956) proposed that firms in general have a long-run target payout ratio. The role of the managers is to gradually adjust firm payment of dividends toward the target.

The Lintner model for partial adjustment is given by: Dit – Dit-1 = ai + ci (D*it – Dit-1) + εit (1) where Dt and Dt-1 are dividend payments at…

Thoughts like this were the result of the childish naivety I checked at the door, and tonight, in this enchanted place, in this tender moment, I finally understood what I really wanted in life. I was very different with him than I thought I would be. When you let go of stereotypes what’s left is a real person. I was real. He was real. I was grown up, and for the first time in…
