Cloth Diapers for Bigger Babies or Children
Since I started my cloth diaper journey rather late (my son was 2), I had to find diapers big enough to fit my him. I belong to a few cloth diaper groups, and fairly regularly see posts about "How can I find cloth diapers to fit my large baby/special needs child?" So… I decided to write a post about that very topic. It can be so frustrating to know where to turn when you have a larger baby or a child who is not potty trained for whatever reason.
Here's my cloth diapering journey…
I never considered cloth diapers for my daughter. I work full time and thought it would be too much work. My daughter didn't have sensitive skin, so there was really no reason for me to make a change.
Then my son was born… And after a reasonable 7.14 lbs at birth, he grew exponentially (thankfully AFTER he was born!!). He has been in the 95th+ percentile for height and weight since his 2 month checkup. b also has sensitive skin. So we went the sensitive skin disposable option. It worked great for us until he grew out of all of the disposable sensitive skin options. (We used Pampers Sensitives and Honest Company diapers, in case inquiring minds wanted to know…)
Wait, let me back up a minute. b was always a heavy wetter at night. Toward the end of our disposable night time diaper experience, I was putting 2 sensitive pullups and a booster pad, all inside of waterproof diaper pants. And he was STILL soaking wet in the morning. So I turned to cloth diapers for overnight. I posted about Motherease Bedwetters in January, explaining how much I like them and how absorbent they are. That was our first foray into cloth diapers… when b was around 2 1/2.
Once b hit 3, he was too big for the sensitive diaper options during the day (he was the size of a 5 year old). We tried the medical supply route, and found some diapers that while hugely expensive, actually fit well. The problem was that he would break out in a rash. Every company I called said their larger diapers were ok for sensitive skin, but for us that wasn't true. I finally broke down and started looking into cloth diapers. (a note about potty training b: I know many of you are probably saying "why don't you just potty train him?! He's old enough to be trained!" Not really. b is a little slower than his counterparts in school. He doesn't transition well to new things. He wasn't ready, and I felt that it was better to let him go at his own pace. It turns out that in December he was ready and he actually potty trained very easily. I truly believe it was because I let him decide when he was ready.)
Larger Cloth Diapers That Worked For Us:
These ended up being my favorite option. They have a size 3 diaper that fit b well. They were an envelope or pocket style of diaper, where you can put inserts inside to increase the absorbency. Since b was a VERY heavy wetter, there was plenty of room for inserts and we were able to go about 2 hours between diaper changes. (for us, that was a great amount of time) Applecheeks are a bit pricey (usually around $25 each), but I washed them every day and was able to make do with 6 Applecheeks plus some of the other diapers I had purchased. If you are ok with purchasing cloth diapers second hand, there is a facebook group devoted to buying/selling/trading Applecheeks only: Applecheeks For Sale Or Trade Only. It's a private group, so you will have to request to join. You can get some gently used, less expensive Applecheeks there. And once you are done with your diapers, you can sell them again – – getting at least some of your money back! (as long as you take good care of them)
Happy Flute
These were probably my second favorite option. I bought them from Sophie's List, and were less expensive (around $15.00) On this particular site, there were two closure options, snaps and velcro. The snaps were smaller, and while they fit b, they were a little on the tighter side so we didn't keep them. The velcro ones were really nice as far as being easy to put on/take off. But that was also a problem, they were easy to take off. So b liked to do just that! Usually if I put his pants on right away he would leave them alone. But if I hesitated and kept him just in the diaper, they were off in a flash. The velcro ones were also much bigger. I would estimate that they could easily fit a 60 lb child, maybe even larger. Because they were velcro, though, I was able to get them to work for b at 45 lbs. They were also a pocket diaper and I could stuff them with several inserts to keep his clothes dry. The opening for the pocket is much smaller than Applecheeks, though, so stuffing was a bit of a pain. The velcro option also came with a huge insert that was pretty absorbent – an added bonus!
SuperUndies were probably my third favorite option. I used the snap-on trainer pants, which would be perfect for potty training. (They cost around $20 each) As a larger diaper, they worked, although the pocket in them wasn't quite as generous and the "waterproofness" only extended to the colored portion of the diaper. The white part in front is more of a stretchy material and isn't lined. This can be particularly troublesome for boys because of where their "wet zone" is. If your larger baby/child isn't a super heavy wetter, these would be fine. There is also a bedwetter option which I hear is FANTASTIC. I haven't tried them, but am considering it for our nighttime solution. They have a lining throughout the diaper, so they may work better as a "real" diaper option.
Other Options for Larger Cloth Diapers
I haven't tried any of the following cloth diaper options, but have seen them recommended on various facebook groups:
- Rearz – Youth Suitable Cloth Diapers
- Bummis – When I look on their site I don't see any really large diapers, the largest looks like it's for around 40 lbs, but maybe that's what you are looking for… And several people recommend them for larger diapers. Maybe I'm just missing it…
- SnapEZ Stuffable Briefs
- Alva – People rave about Alva because they are very reasonably priced (like around $7 each) and I see some "trainers" on their website which may work for larger babies/children. Their site isn't very user friendly, though, and it's hard for me to determine what might fit. Here is a link to another page for "big babies" listed as up to 3 1/2. On this post, you can see pics of the fit that I found helpful…
- Squishy Tushy – these go up to adult, and the in between sizes as well.
Inserts for Added Absorbency
I mentioned earlier about "stuffing" or adding inserts for extra absorbency. There are a ton of options available for this purpose, and while I ended up having my own favorites (flour sack towels, charcoal bamboo inserts, microfiber inserts) I have never done a thorough test of the various inserts (also called "doublers") but have found a few blog posts that did do some tests. They are below:
- Cloth Diaper Absorbency Tests: How Much Will it Hold?
- Testing Absorbency of Inserts
- Fabric Testing: Complete Results and Conclusions
- What's the Deal with Flour Sack Towels in Cloth Diapering?
Cloth Diapers at Daycare
We were very fortunate that our daycare was willing to use cloth diapers for b. They knew the difficult time we were having, and even though they had never been asked before, were willing to try them. I have heard some people say that some daycares will refuse to use cloth, citing state regulations as the reason. I always feel that being informed is best, so I found this website that has a link to state regulations about cloth diapering. I brought the regulations with me when I spoke with the daycare owner, which I think also allayed her fears.
Daycare Concern: Keeping Cloth Diapers "Sanitary"
I didn't really see the concern about the sanitary nature of cloth diapers, but according to my state's requirements, all diapers must be kept in an "individual, securely-tied plastic bag" which I provided (I used plastic bags from the grocery store). They just removed the diaper, put it in the bag, tied it, and placed it in the extra large wet bag that I provided each day. There really isn't any more "exposure" to the nasty stuff from cloth diapers that the day care workers don't already experience when changing disposable diapers. I would send in one wet bag with clean diapers, already stuffed and ready to go, and a second wet bag for the dirty diapers. Easy Peasy! Of course, if your state has different requirements, you should follow those. I washed my diapers every day to keep the number I needed down, and this system worked fine for me.
Cleaning Cloth Diapers
I won't even begin to talk about cleaning cloth diapers. There is SO MUCH CONTROVERSY about this seemingly simple topic. I will share that I found success with Fluff Love University's approach to cloth diapering and leave it at that. You do what you feel works for you 🙂
Selling Your Cloth Diapers
Did your little one FINALLY potty train? Giving up on the cloth diaper journey? Take comfort in knowing that you can re-sell your gently used diapers in tons of places. I have found that facebook has many, many groups for buying/selling/trading cloth diapers and the good news is that you can recoup some of your money (something you definitely can't do with disposables).
I hope you found this post to be informative. What do you think? Have you had success with any of these larger diapers? Did I miss any?

It's been stolen. Along with the CycloDS, the Ezflash, and the microSDHC. I figure the worth of that about $350AU. Posting this from a laptop which Dad brought. I'm pretty pissed though.

4 large Potatoes
1 onion
2 slices of bacon
200g grated cheese
- Bake the potatoes in a hot oven, approx 170c for 40 mins or till soft
- While they are cooking prepare the other ingredients;
finely dice the onion,
chop the bacon, and
grate the cheese
- Cook the onion and bacon in a frying pan and leave to cool
- When the jackets are cooked, leave them to cool for 10 mins, so you can handle them.
- Cut the potato in half, and scoop out the middle in to a large bowl, trying not to go through the skin. Add the onion and bacon, with half the cheese and mix well, adjust the seasoning to taste then spoon the mix back into the potato skins and when they are all full, top with the remaining cheese and bake again till the top is golden brown – about 10-15 mins.
Why not add a few herbs to mix, or a bit of left over chicken, serve in a bowl with mixed salad

A Lone Spouse on a Home Loan
One spouse's high debts, low income or poor credit history could kill a mortgage deal. So the other spouse may want to go solo on the home loan.
It takes two to make a marriage work, the saying goes. But sometimes it's better when only one of them applies for a jumbo mortgage.
There are a number of reasons why one spouse stays off a home loan, says John Walsh, CEO of Milford, Conn.-based Total Mortgage. That person's high debts, low income or poor credit history could be deal-killers or trigger a higher interest rate.

Today was the first day of fall. Rainy weather is on it's way soon enough, but today it was beautiful. Full sun and high 70's is a gift this time of year. I couldn't wait to ride down my hill and head up the road.
It had been a grand cycling summer. With all the miles in my legs, I'm really feeling comfortable on the bike. Hill climbing this year has been a focus plus developing more power for speed on the flats. I'd been working on my aero positioning and having fun zipping around town like I was in a time trial. My spinning is smoother getting power into all 360 degrees of the pedal stroke and at a higher cadence. Through all of this, I found it took less and less time to slip into the zone where mind, body, and bike are one.
I was up to speed on the Green River Road and my breathing was in rhythm with my spinning. Maybe it was the smell of the fresh cut grass at the golf course on my right or just seeing the green rolling hills out of my periphery. Maybe it was the humidity. The sun was evaporating the morning dew, and I felt the moisture in my lungs. I could taste it and feel it on my skin. Maybe I just felt blessed to feel life at the fullest. All of my senses seemed heightened. Perhaps it was all of this as my body seemed to be on auto pilot, and I felt like I was flying low. I had reached it – the state of flow where mind and body are one. Pure bliss. As I was stretching out that perfect moment in time, I slipped away.
I slipped away in my mind to an earlier time in my life. A time when I lived in Florida in my early 20's. A simpler time without a care in the world. A time when I would cover many miles on my bike breathing in the sweet tropical air and riding by the many lush golf courses. There was sunshine every day.
Just as I was visualizing some of my old bike routes, I came back. I could feel the bars in my grip, but for a moment I wasn't sure where I was but down a beautiful road on a perfect day. Who knew that a bicycle could actually be, among other things, a time machine?

Little Nemo's Art Deco signed LN / 25 jewel-tone rhinestone pin clip with its matching earrings are being offered for your consideration. The set is in excellent vintage condition. It is rare to find one of these sets still together because the earrings are not marked, so they are very easily separated and lost from their matching brooch. The mark, LN / 25, is not stamped into the brooch or pin clip ( the proper name for this type of jewelry piece ) but was made base relief in he metal of the brooch when it was created. The clip pin is ornate and dimensional, as well as, large, measuring 2 inches by 1 7/8 inches and 1/2 inch proud; its mechanism is beautiful engraving, functions properly and is quite strong. Scattered across the brooch's surface are both raised flowers and five pointed stars molded or cast in the metal. The earrings measure 5/8 inch by 1/2 inch and the screw-back mechanisms function properly on each. The set displays desirable normal age appropriate gray to dark gray coloration of the jeweler's metal used in their construction and light wear; under close or magnified inspection no missing, no dead or dull rhinestones can be found, some light desirable peppering in the rhinestones may be observed nothing in our opinion that detracts from their stunning appeal only that that affirms their age and authenticity. A timeless addition to any accessories wardrobe collection which will add a striking statement with lasting appeal, a piece of wearable jewelry history representing several forms and a era classic!

Sacrifice one or sacrifice all. That is the way of the world. We couldn't change it if we tried."
-- Narrator (Chapter 1 ("In Which a Story is Told") )
Importance: This comment is made by an unnamed narrator who is part of the oppressed townspeople in the Protectorate. This belief is what the Elders want the people to think. They want the people to believe that sacrificing one baby each year on the Day of Sacrifice will keep everyone safe. Most importantly, the Elders need the townspeople to believe that they cannot change anything. This feeling of powerlessness is what makes the people so easy to control. A group of people who think they are powerless, who feel that they cannot change anything, are the easiest group to control and keep down. The quote above shows why Sister Ignatia and the Council were able to control the people of the Protectorate for so long.
They left knowing that it was...

I know, way past time for this update, but can you say "busy as all get out?!"
Lena, Charlie and I arrived in Phoenix on January 20th at 8:32pm to a wonderful greeting of family and friends! Can you say, "blessed beyond belief?!!!"
We arrived HOME the following afternoon after spending the night with dear friends, Jim and Lori, who had taken excellent care of our dog Jake while we were gone. Quick stop at Seba's Western Store for Lena's first pair of cowgirl boots (knew she would need them immediately upon arrival home because we kept hearing that horses would be her first priority). Another quick stop to pick up Tucker, our other dog. He and Mack had spent their time with good friends Kate and Gerry (Kate also their Vet); unfortunately we'd only be picking up Tucker, several days before heading for home we had to make the very difficult decision to put Mack down. A extremely hard day, missed very much not being able to say that final goodbye to a very special family member… since then life has been moving at mach speed, so both Charlie and I have felt as if we have yet to actually grieve Mack the way we would/should. So give me just a moment…
We love you Mack!! You will forever be our Moo.
Thank you.
So we are home!! Just looking at the calendar, we have been home 14 days, we are acclimating, we are adjusting, we are loving Lena!! Without a doubt she is our daughter, always has been…
Lena has already spent many hours riding the horses; she has claimed Charlie's horse Rowdy as her own. :] The "old guys" Charlie and Tanner (Charlie's 24 year old semi retired horse) will be joining forces once again. Lena has also decided she loves ATV riding; she and I will be sharing "a machine". She thinks her new room is great and tells us she is having sweet dreams. Last Sunday was Lena's second Sunday in church with us, as we sang the closing song, Lena standing between Charlie and I, all of our hands interlocked (Lena's doing), she began singing the chorus "Glory to God" along with us, I keep thanking God for all the special moments He keeps sprinkling our days with. Tuesday was Lena's first day at Wickenburg Christian Academy. She had a great first day! Yesterday was her second day; unfortunately Lena felt it important to tell her teacher that there were several things she wasn't going to be doing. Well that won't fly… we've had many opportunities in the last 14 days for teachable moments, more last night. As the days have passed, information is being shared, past experiences, past hurts, a past that for the most part needs to left behind. Last night she shared more than she's ever shared. There is healing that needs to take place in our daughter's life, no surprise. She is wise and understands that she has the opportunity to change her future… that some changes will come easily, some will be hard. I believe she now grasps the truth that Charlie and I are here for her forever, we will not go away, we LOVE her. We pray soon she will understand that about her Heavenly Father.
The theme of my days…
"I am the vine: you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
I have never felt so attached, felt the need to be so attached to "the Vine" as I do now. I have no doubt that without Christ we would be ill equipped to do what He has asked us to do. But,
"We know that all things work together for good to them that love God… to them who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
We are witnessing Him work all things together for good right before our very eyes in a powerful way… through our lives and others for a child's life, our daughter's life. Can you say "humbled"… "In awe"…
"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
Lena's first memory verse from school has ministered to all of us in the last 2 days; I know that God is working all things together for good as we remain in Him…
Can you say, "I love the Lord with all my heart, with all my soul, all my mind (I know not a whole lot of that left), and my strength"? You know, I can.
Charlie and I continue to be humbled and amazed by the innumerable ways we have recieved support, we can never thank you enough for all your love, your prayers, and encouragement, for joining us in this most amazing journey, which really is
"God's story of love, God's story of Lena"
and which really has only just begun, a story that we are so excited to watch unfold…

The town of Davidson is expanding its marketing and branding strategy in hopes to spur economic growth.
Arnett Muldrow & Associates, Greensville, SC-based consultants hired by the town, presented their recommendations to the town board of commissioners at a meeting last week in Davidson Town Hall.
The national firm has specialized in town planning, community branding and retail market analysis for nearly a decade and has worked in 21 states with 100-plus communities, including Concord and Huntersville.
The firm conducted a market analysis to determine how to better promote the community to local residents, regional customers and visitors. It also conducted a study to establish why retail dollars leave the community and how to combat it.
During the 90-minute town meeting, Tripp Muldrow, a principal with the firm, presented a slideshow and answered questions from residents, business owners and commissioners. Muldrow specializes in how planning and urban design concepts apply to economic development policies and strategies. To see the slideshow presentation, visit www.ci.davidson.nc.us.
Town officials said major changes won't be seen until mid- to late-summer, but some minor initiatives, like incorporating the new logo on event banners, are already underway.
"We want to be able to share the town and its uniqueness with others," said steering committee member Laura Schumacher, who has worked with the town for about seven years through her Davidson design firm Vermillion Creative. "It's a very different way of life and a return to that small-town feel with bigger-city things going on in it. And, of course, we want to see businesses prosper."
Key recommendations included establishing a clear brand image to use as a platform to reach potential customers and to bill Davidson as a destination community in order to spur economic development.
To establish a brand image, a new popular logo will be implemented. It consists of four different-colored interlocking "Ds." Each stands for a different aspect of life in Davidson: downtown, college town, lake town and home town.
The goal of the logo is to position the town to take advantage of the total customer base and market to the various niches accordingly. The logo eventually will be tied to various themes (Christmas in Davidson), groups (cyclists, walkers, diners) and activities (concerts, farmers market). The official town logo also will see minor changes tied to various themes.
"The reasons you want to live in Davidson are the same reasons you'd want to move a business to the area," said Sara-Lynne Levine, the town's communication director. "Ultimately this is a tool to help business owners."

There may not have been any live politicians at Mexican rockers Maná's concert at a packed AmericanAirlines Arena on Saturday night. But with their get out the vote message and calls of "Latinos, for your rights!" the outspoken group, which has been rocking arena audiences across the Americas for two decades and across the United States on their current Latino Power Tour, made their intent clear. The show opened with loud boos for pictures of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, cheers for images of Democratic rival Hilary Clinton, and giant signs in Spanish proclaiming "You can choose" and "You are part of the change."
"Right now we're in a very important chapter in the story of this great country," Fher Olvera, the group's charismatic lead singer, told the cheering audience, a few blocks north of where Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Gente de la Zona were rallying a crowd for Clinton. "Latinos have built and been part of this great country thanks to their work and their strength. So Latinos and Mexicans have to be respected. You know what I'm talking about." The audience booed loudly, and Olvera continued. "But that doesn't matter here. What matters is that you express your power by voting! Go out to vote for the party that isn't racist, that isn't violent."
Maná united that political message with their potent mix of tuneful power rock and emotional ballads, and a connection built through a quarter century of hits, for an emotional show that lasted nearly three hours. The concert often seemed like a giant sing-a-long, with the adoring audience erupting after the first few notes of everything from old favorites like the environmental anthem "Donde Jugaron Los Ninos?" (Where Will the Children Play) and "Mariposa Traicionera" (Treacherous Butterfly); a blistering version of "Corazón Espinado," their hit with Carlos Santana; to newer hits such as "Mi Verdad" (My Truth), a duet with Shakira, who appeared via video, and the exuberant new reggaeton-ized version of their 1992 song "De Pies a Cabeza" (From Foot to Head), with percussionist Hector Quintana doing a spirited substitution for Latin urban star and rapper Nicky Jam.
Hilary Clinton Joins Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony in Miami
The group, still centered on the original quartet of Olvera, guitarist Sergio Vallin, bassist Juan Calleros, and drummer Álex González (with Fernando Vallin adding extra guitar power), has kept its old school sound, with ferocious rock guitar solos, leavened by swaying reggae and sweetly plaintive melodies. There were no dancers, no gigantic moving sets. They brought on armless musician Mark Goffeney, who, astoundingly, plays guitar with his feet, to join them on the beloved ballad "Vivir Sin Aire" (Living Without Air). González (who is Cuban-American and from Miami), had the audience screaming for "Me Vale" (I'm Worth It), a howling anthem of individuality, then played a spectacular drum solo on a spiraling platform that rose high above the stage. An acoustic segment, on a small stage on the arena floor, featured a tribute to recently deceased Mexican idol Juan Gabriel, with the crowd ecstatically singing along for his "Se Me Olvido Otra Vez.
The finale had Maná boldly adapting Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up" for their Latino power message. In the encore, for the swelling anthem "Rayando el Sol" (Dawn is Breaking), their very first hit, Olvera stood, arms lifted, amidst blinding sprays of light, the audience singing fervently along, as if he was summoning their power and embodying their longing, all at once.

This is fascinating stuff; you can't get a more closely comparable genetic makeup than identical twins. If sexual orientation is, in fact, genetic, then this might be the key to figuring out how it manifests itself in DNA.
A lesbian twin and her straight sister have been studied by scientists who are searching for answers about human sexuality.
Researchers hoping to identify genetic and environmental factors associated with sexuality hit the jackpot when they discovered identical twins Sarah Nunn, who is attracted to men, and Rosie Albewhite, who is attracted to women.
The 29-year-old sisters were investigated by scientists as part of a study aiming to learn more about how sexuality develops in childhood.
Of course I've always said this might end badly, as well, because once parents can determine a genetic predisposition toward homosexuality they might just decide to not have the child at all.

White Alabaster Bowl
This bowl was carved entirely by hand - using hammer, chisel, and files.
No power tools were used to excavate the stone. That took quite a while
to accomplish while still keeping the bowl solid. The walls are only about
three-eighths of an inch thick in places - quite a challenge in a stone
with veins like this.
The alabaster itself is Italian, and highly translucent.
Dimensions: Approximately 14 inches wide, 6 inches tall, and 7 inches deep.

Happy 2016! Hard to believe it's already a new year but ready or not, here we are.
Now, I'm not one to make massive resolutions but definitely have some things in the faith, health, and personal realm that I want to improve upon this year and onward. I did want to share one thing that my husband and I have done for the last few years that's been very helpful. We picked up the idea from our Uncle and Aunt up in Virginia while we lived with them for a short time. Basically, at the beginning of each year, we sit down and have a meeting. Sounds thrilling, I know. It's much more fun if you give it a cool name. Ours has been dubbed the "Spoolstra Summit".
See? More awesome already.
We try to do it on New Year's Day but that varies a bit if needed. Jason and I will usually get some donuts that morning and then we'll sit at the kitchen table to begin. Or hey, you can even make it a date and go out to a local coffee shop or restaurant. Going in, we will each have some ideas prepared and if we're really on top of things, even have detailed notes ready to go. Simply put, we discuss our goals for the new year and reflect a little on the year that has passed. You can talk about your financial, business, spiritual, and physical goals or honestly, whatever your heart desires. We also look at where we currently are financially and then discuss our budget for the upcoming year. Each family is different so definitely tweak it for your own situation and life!
While all the goals might not be met or could even change as you go along throughout the year, it's incredibly helpful to just sit down together, share your aspirations, and get on the same page moving forward into the new year. If you and your spouse love this annual meet up, you could even make it a monthly thing to better communicate and track your progress along the way. Plus, it's awesome to look back at your notes from the years before and see how far you've come. I remember a few years ago our list included things like saving for a house (currently homeowners), moving forward with fertility testing/treatments (now have a toddler and one on the way), and expanding my baking skills (now have a cookie decorating business).
So hey, even if this isn't something that ends up working for you year after year, I encourage you to at least give it a try once. What harm can come from discussing your goals and future with your spouse?
I hope and pray that all of you have a wonderful 2016 and that your families and goals are blessed along the way. Let's see how far we've come when 2017 rolls around!

In my Sunday morning college class we have been covering the life of Paul. Paul has now arrived in Rome, and the study is winding down. While doing my research for the class I came across a lecture by a Yale professor who claims that he used to be a believer but that inaccuracies in the text of the Bible showed him that he could not rely on it as a good historical text. As proof of this he cites that Acts and Galatians do not agree on the early travels of Paul.
While this alleged discrepancy can be easily explained, (http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/602) I find more and more that people do not want to listen to a logical explanation, but prefer to listen to someone who claims authoritative knowledge of the subject without ever looking at the validity of their point.
I decided I would put together a Harmony of the Life of Paul in outline form. I will paste this below. House to House has published it. It can be purchased here. I think it is a good outline of the life of Paul, but if you see any errors, please contact me and let me know.
There are five main points (after his early life) that are major headings, providing the known dates that we can use as a framework for the rest of Paul's life.
There is no more central figure to the story of the development of the early church than the apostle Paul. Information about Paul's life, teachings, and travels are scattered throughout his letters. The book of Acts, written by Luke who was a companion of Paul, concentrates on biographical accounts of Peter (Acts 1–12) and Paul (Acts 13–28). Below is an outline of the chief events in Paul's life. Dates are approximate, based on the text of the Bible and cross-referenced with secular history.
I. Paul's Early Life
A. Paul's birth in Tarsus (Acts 21:39).
B. Early training with Gamaliel at Jerusalem (Acts 22:3).
C. Persecution of the church.
1. Stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:57–8:1).
2. Zealous to persecute the church (Acts 8:3; 1 Corinthians 15:9).
3. Planned to carry persecution to Damascus (Acts 9:1–2).
II. Conversion of Paul (a.d. 36)
(Acts 9:1–19; Acts 22:4–16; Acts 26:12–20)
This date is calculated from references in Josephus to Aretas and the allusion in 2 Corinthians 11:32 where Paul mentions Aretas, who was king of Arabia when Paul escaped in a.d. 39.
A. a.d. 37–39: In Damascus and Arabia (Acts 9:17–22; Acts 26:19–20; Galatians 1:15–18)
B. a.d. 39: Escape from Damascus and first visit to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:15–18; Acts 9:23–26; 2 Corinthians 11:32–33)
C. a.d. 39–43 (4 or 5 years): In Tarsus, Cilicia, and Syria (Acts 9:29–30; Galatians 1:21–24)
D. a.d. 44: In Antioch with Barnabas (Acts 11:25–29)
E. a.d. 44: Mission to Jerusalem, taking assistance to the poor (Acts 11:27–30; 12:25)
III. Death of Herod Agrippa I (a.d. 44)
Josephus fixes the date of Herod's death, mentioned in Acts 12:23, at a.d. 44.
A. a.d. 45–47: First Missionary Journey (Acts 13:1–3)
B. a.d. 48–49: Return to Antioch where they stay a "long time," probably about two years (Acts 14:25–28)
IV. Third Journey of Paul to Jerusalem (a.d. 50)
Galatians 2:1 says that Paul went up to Jerusalem fourteen years after his conversion. The purpose of this visit was to settle an issue that had been raised by some Jewish Christians from Jerusalem in the church at Antioch. Paul met with the other apostles and elders to discuss the issue of circumcision of the Gentile Christians.
A. a.d. 51–54: Second Missionary Journey (Acts 15:36–41)
1. a.d. 52: 1 Thessalonians written at Corinth (1 Thessalonians 1:1; 3:6)
2. a.d. 53: 2 Thessalonians written at Corinth (2 Thessalonians 1:1)
B. a.d. 54–58: Third Missionary Journey (Acts 18:22–23)
1. a.d. 57 (Spring): 1 Corinthians written at Ephesus (1 Corinthians 16:8)
2. a.d. 57 (Autumn): 2 Corinthians written in Macedonia
3. a.d. 57 (Winter): Galatians written at Corinth
4. a.d. 58 (Spring): Romans written at Corinth
C. a.d. 58: Return to Jerusalem (Acts 21:17–26)
D. a.d. 58: Paul arrested in the temple (Acts 21:27–23:11)
E. a.d. 58–60: Imprisonment at Caesarea (Acts 23:31–35)
V. Procuratorship of Felix (a.d. 60 or 61)
A. a.d. 60: Paul was a prisoner under Felix when Festus replaced Felix. Josephus, Tacitus, and Suetonius list this event in either a.d. 60 or 61
B. a.d. 60 (Autumn) – 61 (Spring): Journey to Rome (Acts 27:1–28:16)
VI. Arrival of Paul in Rome (Spring of a.d. 61 or 62)
Paul proceeded to Rome soon after Festus came to power. A detailed account of this voyage is recorded in Acts 27:1–28:15.
A. a.d. 61–63: First Roman Captivity (Acts 28:16–31)
1. Paul wrote Philemon.
2. Paul wrote Colossians.
3. Paul wrote Ephesians.
4. Paul wrote Philippians.
B. a.d. 63–67: Between the First and Second Roman Captivities*
1. a.d. 67: Paul wrote 1 Timothy in Macedonia (1 Timothy 1:3; 3:14–15)
2. a.d. 67: Titus written at Ephesus
C. a.d. 68: The Second Roman Captivity (2 Timothy 1:8; 2:8–9)
1. a.d. 68: Paul wrote 2 Timothy at Rome.
2. a.d. 68: Paul's death, sometime after he wrote 2 Timothy, but before Nero dies a.d. June 9, 68 (2 Timothy 4:6)
* Luke ends his account at the first captivity in Rome. Scholars have long debated the events at the end of Paul's life. The stronger opinion is that Paul was released from his captivity and continued his travels for four or five years. Then he was arrested and brought to Rome again; he either died in prison or was executed under Nero's order.

Definition of ramshackle
- a ramshackle plot
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
The movie's ramshackle plot is confusing and not believable.
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'ramshackle.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.
Ramshackle has nothing to do with rams, nor the act of being rammed, nor shackles. The word is an alteration of ransackled, an obsolete form of the verb ransack, meaning "to search through or plunder." (Ransack in turn derives, via Middle English, from Old Norse words meaning "house" and "seek.") A home that has been ransacked has had its contents thrown into disarray, and that image may be what caused us to start using ramshackle in the first half of the 19th century to describe something that is poorly constructed or in a state of near collapse. These days, ramshackle can also be used figuratively, as in "He could only devise a ramshackle excuse for his absence."
First Known Use: 1830

The Boy Birthday
My oldest two kids have their birthdays 3 days (and 4 year) apart. We had a big combo party for them this year and I got crafty… That's another post or two… or three. But today I'll show you something I made for one of Israel's presents this year. It can be harder for me to come up with creative things to make for a boy. So when I saw this on Pinterest I was excited. There were some jeans in our giveaway pile so it was a fun gift that didn't cost anything. All these roads were made from part of one pair of jeans. I'd already used 1/4 of a leg for another project.
Side note, if you've not heard of Pinterest.com yet, it's a fun place to get inspiration and organize your own inspirations for reference. Being a very visual person it's perfect for me! But I do be careful to filter… I only friend people who don't post all those visual things I just don't want to see!
Here's the link to where I got my inspiration from.
I decided to make my roads more narrow, about 3″ wide. I made patterns on paper for the straight pieces, intersections, and 90 degree turn pieces… and traced them on the jeans and cut out. I then free handed a few from scraps for interesting curves. Drew and I painted the yellow lines.
The big pocket I made by cutting out the two back pockets of the jeans leaving about a 1/2 inch around the pocket and cutting up to and over the seam above the pockets. I sewed them right sides together along the bottom and sides, leaving the top un-sewn. Next I turned them right sides out and appliqued a race car cut from felt on the front. The tracks fit nicely inside the big pocket for storage and little cars fit well inside the outer pocket. Daddy traced out the race car so this gift was made by us all. So far the road pieces haven't frayed. But I'll use some fray check on the edges if they start.
Daddy may have outdone me by getting Israel a hotwheels track from us that mounts on his wall and is very fun. But he has played some with these roads as well. Israel did candidly ask me, "Mommy, did you make these from… pants?" When I said yes, he said, "Silly Mommy!" That I am…

Lately there has been a lot of drama amongst some of my friends. Falling in and out of relationships, problems with friendships, frustrations about life, everything people go through every day in their daily lives. Luckily I'm not involved in any of this nor have any stress because of this, but, like always, I kindly offer my advice to my friends. I say that there is no need to be frustrated or stress because life needs to be enjoyed, good things will come once you start feeling happier. For my friends who break-up with a significant other I always say the cliché "there is plenty of fish in the sea", but I mean that with all my heart. Everybody has someone out there who would make them happy. We are not limited to a small selection of people to choose from, to care for. No, we have an abundance of people to love, to care for, to be friends with, the options are basically limitless. Now when I say this people look at me with skepticism. They believe life can't be that easy, that in life we have to fight for what we truly want. But I always ask why fight? Why not just wait for what you want? Fighting is a struggle, its work, it makes one unhappy and frustrated, and that is not the way to achieve happiness. In our society we are programmed to believe that everything; love, friendship, wealth, work, happiness, all has to be fought for in order to get it. You see it with all types of music, movies, TV shows, advertisements, cultural customs and advice people give to others every day. I disagree with this widely spread belief. There is no need to fight, fighting just creates more resistance, it creates more anger, and more unhappiness. I don't think we need to fight for what we truly want; we don't need to fight for what truly makes us happy. I think for the things that you truly want in life, whether its wealth, love, friendship, or anything else, you should let it come naturally to you. The things that happen naturally with little or no resistance are things that will truly make you happy in life. Many people may think that this belief is naïve, unrealistic, and hopeless. But on the contrary, thinking about the best results will always result in getting the best. So, like I tell all my friends, just be patient because good things will come. That's how I live my life, I only think of the things I really want, of the best that I can get, and nothing else and through that lifestyle I'm living a happy life. So you can call me an idealist, because I'm proud to be one.

'It's a little disappointing to see a music-oriented phone come without headphones or a memory card of some sort, but since it's currently offered free with a 2-year contract, these omissions are a little understandable.'
'Its dimensions are 99.5 mm tall by 48mm wide and 14.8 mm deep, which makes it pretty slender for a slide opening mobile phone.'
'nice slider form factor phone'
'truly amazing phone'
'outstandingly incredible phone'
'A downside to the Samsung E1130 is its tiny display — this is one of the smallest screens we've seen on a mobile phone. '
'The Samsung E1130 is similar to the Samsung E1080, and is available in both grey and orange and has a standby time of up to 670 hours, which is impressive, whilst having a talk time of up to 10 hours.'

Welcome back to all of our students and staff for the 2017/18 school year. I would like to welcome all the new students and their families who are joining our St. Mary's community.
Go Mustangs! As Principal I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know all the new students and parents.
I feel St. Mary's High School is one of the strongest schools in our area because our staff believe in educating the whole student according to our Catholic Graduate Expectations. We are privileged to have Gospel values informing our practice of teaching and the many gifts that observing our Faith bring.
As your child progresses through St. Mary's High School, our focus is not only what they learn but on the loving and faith filled person they will become. It is the goal of the staff at St. Mary's to work co-operatively and collaboratively with families to create a 21st century, rich learning environment for all students.
Student success is a shared responsibility between the school staff, students and parents.
We look forward to working with you!
Mr. Alex van Wieringen

Quotes About The Public
If you want to create a high-society, you must give high things to the public! Show the public eagle; public will be an eagle! Show the public a rat, public will be a rat! Whatever you give to the public, public will take that! To create a high-society, you must give high things to the public!Send Quote
Don't talk to me about appealing to the public. I am done with the public, for the present anyway. The public reads the headlines and that is all. The story itself is fair and shows the facts. That would be all right if the public read the facts. But it does not. It reads the headlines and listens to the demagogues and that's the stuff public opinion is made of.Send Quote
Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private, and public virtue is the only foundation of republics. There must be a positive passion for the public good, the public interest, honour, power and glory, established in the minds of the people, or there can be no republican government, nor any real liberty: and this public passion must be superiour to all private passions.Send Quote
Millions of public workers have become a kind of privileged new class - a new elite, who live better than their private sector counterparts. Public servants have become the public's masters. No wonder the public is upset.Send Quote
Restoring prayer ... will scarcely at this date solve the grievous public school problem. Public schools are expensive and massive centers for cultural and ideological brainwashing, at which they are unfortunately far more effective than in teaching the 3 R's or in keeping simple order within the schools. Any plan to begin dismantling the public school monstrosity is met with effective opposition by the teachers' and educators' unions. Truly radical change is needed to shift education from public to unregulated private schooling, religious and secular, as well as home schooling by parents.Send Quote
The trouble is that privacy is at once essential to, and in tension with, both freedom and security. A cabinet minister who keeps his mistress in satin sheets at the French taxpayer's expense cannot justly object when the press exposes his misuse of public funds. Our freedom to scrutinise the conduct of public figures trumps that minister's claim to privacy. The question is: where and how do we draw the line between a genuine public interest and that which is merely what interests the public?Send Quote
For such will be our ruin if you, in the immensity of your public abstractions, forget the private figure, or if we in the intensity of our private emotions forget the public world. Both houses will be ruined, the public and the private, the material and the spiritual, for they are inseparably connected.Send Quote
Business is no longer a matter of profits alone. Profits must come through public confidence, and public confidence is given to any merchant in proportion to the service which he gives to the public.Send Quote
The public realm in America has two roles: it is the dwelling place of our civilization and our civic life, and it is the physical manifestation of the common good. When you degrade the public realm, you will automatically degrade the quality of your civic life and the character of all the enactments of your public life and communal life that take place there.Send Quote
I believe if a private citizen is able to affect public opinion in a constructive way he doesn't have to be an elected public servant to perform a public service.Send Quote
I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish; where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source; where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials; and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.Send Quote
Jefferson, though the secret vote was still unknown at the time had at least a foreboding of how dangerous it might be to allow the people to share a public power without providing them at the same time with more public space than the ballot box and with more opportunity to make their voices heard in public than on election day. What he perceived to be the mortal danger to the republic was that the Constitution had given all power to the citizens, without giving them the opportunity of being citizens and of acting as citizens.Send Quote
I really don't want to produce artwork that does not have meaning beyond simple decorative values. I want to use public space to create a public voice, and a public consciousness about the presence of people who are, in fact, the majority of the population but who are not represented in any visual way. By telling their stories we are giving voice to the voiceless and visualizing the whole of the American story.Send Quote
You have celebrities who are pushed to the brink of a public meltdown, and so the public thinks that every person in the public eye has dirty secrets that they're keeping, or isn't what they seem, or is masking it and faking sincerity, faking authenticity, faking being surprised at award shows when you win a Grammy.Send Quote
Apparently almost anyone can do a better job of educating children than our so-called 'educators' in the public schools. Children who are home-schooled by their parents also score higher on tests than children educated in the public schools. ... Successful education shows what is possible, whether in charter schools, private schools, military schools or home-schooling. The challenge is to provide more escape hatches from failing public schools, not only to help those students who escape, but also to force these institutions to get their act together before losing more students and jobs.Send Quote
American public opinion, as you can see in the polls, radically changed from being against airstrikes to being heavily in favor that [President Obama] decided to do airstrikes. This is a classic example of leading from behind where he waits for public opinion. And now it's the public who's demanding he do something.Send Quote
Once you start to provide public services that have to be run under public rules, for example child protection, then it has to go with public law. Institutions have to make a decision whether they want to do that or they don't want to do that.Send Quote
In effective, sustained citizen action, people learn the skills of public life with which to act effectively. "Commons," or the common wealth-the public goods that are objects of sustainable public action-become not only occasions for collaboration by invaluable sources of citizen education in their own right because they are the occasions for learning such skills.Send Quote

Stock photography is photography or imagery that is used repeatedly for commercial and non-commercial purposes. It is a cost effective method for customers to purchase high quality images, and is a great way for photographers to earn money from their collection of imagery.
Often stock images depict common situations, concepts, ideas, issues, landmarks, and people. It is very popular with designers, graphic artists, art directors, advertising agencies, and marketing professionals, in magazine ads, websites, and marketing brochures.
Instead of hiring a professional photographer to create an image, a buyer licenses an image and the photographer is paid a commission. Photo researchers can save valuable time and money by searching for stock photography through online databases. Images are delivered through direct download or email to the customer.
Stock agencies are often called image banks or photo archives, referring to the vast electronic data stored online. Images stored at an agency are licensed on behalf of the photographer or artist and the agency retains a percentage of the sale. Pricing may be set by the photographer or agency as the needs of the audience require. Prices may range from as little as $1 to thousands of dollars.

Here's a Perfectly Disgusting Supercut of the Most Inventive Walking Dead Zombie Kills
Warning: not for the fainthearted.
As The Walking Dead has shown over the years, there's no dearth of methods for vanquishing a zombie. You can smash them, slice them, tear them to pieces, blow them away, or do some
overly-gratuitous tasteful combination of all the above. As a reminder, Fast Company decided to compile the most inventive (read: cringeworthy) of the show's kills thus far. Warning: What follows is definitely not for the fainthearted. If you can, enjoy (and I guess take notes — yes, you can totally used another zombie's head as a mallet! — if you believe this kind of apocalypse is inevitable):

In reading the recent article ("Aid to fire companies distributed unequally," June 21) concerning distribution of state grants to fire companies, I feel there still needs to be clarification as to how and why these monies were distributed.
As I was quoted in referring to the process of this funding as being "political," allow me to elaborate on this from a historical perspective. The 508 funds, as they are known, evolved from SB 508 during the 1985 legislative session.
As a result, effective July 1, 1985, a state Fire, Rescue and Ambulance Fund was established. This is elaborated under Article 38A Subpart 45B of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

The temperature was eight degrees and wind gusts up to 40 MPH but that didn't keep these kids from attending the 24th Annual Kids Ice Fishing Clinics held on Saturday, Feb.14. The Clinics took place in seven area parks in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
There was a total of 163 kids with 75 volunteers from the local fishing clubs that did their best under adverse conditions to teach kids about fishing.
Below are photos from Menomonee Park/Lannon Quarry, Townline Rd. (1/2 mile north of Good Hope Rd., Menomonee Falls), which was hosted by Badger Fishermen's League. Thanks to Brenda Rosin-Schaff for providing the pictures.

It's definitely summer when the dudes and I start making lemonade! Yesterday was baking day, so we made lemonade and some treats [recipes to come]. They decided they wanted strawberry lemonade, so I threw a bunch of strawberries into the blender, and added them to the mix. It turned out amazingly good. The color is pretty awesome too.
If you haven't made any lemonade this summer, I highly suggest you get to it!
To go along with our lemonade, we made some killer kabobs. I can't wait until we can use all the veggies in our garden! I love, love grilled veggies.
Kabob Marinade
*This makes a lot of marinade. You can cut it in half if you'd like. I like to make a lot, because I marinate my veggies in it as well!
1 1/4 c. oil [NOT olive oil]
3/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce
2 T. mustard [you can use dry or regular, won't really matter in the end]
salt [didn't measure
pepper [didn't measure]
1/2 c. apple cider vinegar
2-3 crushed garlic cloves
1/3 c. lemon juice [I didn't really measure---I think I used a whole lemon]
Combine all ingredients and mix well. In a large bowl, place meat and veggies, pour marinade over top. [Before adding marinade, poke your meat with a fork or knife all over.] If you are sketchy about your veggies and meat hanging out in the same pool, you can do 2 bowls, one for the meat, one for the veggies.
Cover the bowls and refrigerate all day, or overnight. [I'm usually not awesome enough to remember to do it the night before, so I do it in the morning.]
Thread meat and veggies on skewers and grill. I usually don't intermix my veggies and meats on the same skewer, because I find that everything cooks at different rates. Plus, I think it looks more orderly the way I do it.
This can be used for chicken, beef, any kind of meat you like. Any veggies work great, this particular night we did onions [my fave], and zucchini. I also love yellow squash, red & green peppers, mushrooms...the sky is the limit!

Love wins nationwide!
The Supreme Court just ruled that everyone in the United States has the freedom to marry!
Thanks to all of your years of tireless advocacy, we have finally reached a point where LGBT people are treated equally when it comes to marrying the person you love.
Today is a day to celebrate our victory for equality.
Make a donation of $25 or more and you will get an Equality PA t-shirt to wear proudly to celebrate.
However, while we celebrate we also remember that while you can marry the person you love, you could still be fired for talking about your wedding at work.
We have the power to update our laws in Pennsylvania—all we need is to put our energy toward ending discrimination now.
That's why we are asking you to make a donation to Equality PA today to support future victories for equality.
Donate here now to help us win, and if you can give $25 or more, you will also get this year's Equality PA t-shirt.
Thanks, as always, for all you do—and congratulations!
