It is necessary to make certain that the battery works with the particular make and model of the mobile phone. In the event the battery gets overly bloated it can really be dangerous. It employs a 9-volt battery. Determining how long mobile phone batteries will last isn't a precise science. Our rechargeable mobile phone batteries are new, trustworthy, and reasonably priced.
The info could possibly be nested within a subcategory like General" within settings. The telephone information should list the telephone make and model. For instance, there might not be any damage to a door, but nevertheless, it might need to be removed to access the damaged place. So as to locate a compatible mobile phone battery, the user needs to understand what sort of phone they have. It is all up to the user to learn if they would care to incur a greater risk and spend less by deciding on this kind of option for their mobile phone replacement power supply.

The cell phone is a must in today's age. There are lots of ways to determine whether the cell phone requires a new battery. The range of mobile phones on the market necessitates several different kinds of mobile phone batteries.
Waiting until the battery provides you with trouble and you have to replace it isn't the best of scenarios. Our collection of batteries goes above and past the competition. There are lots of different kinds of mobile phone batteries out there. Once you've decided which sort of mobile phone battery you require, you'll find it at the local electronics store. Now do the exact same thing with the mobile phone battery which you removed. One other important step in deciding on the proper mobile phone battery is understanding the mobile phone itself.

Warner Bros. Pictures
It's no secret that Hollywood is full of talent. Hidden behind all the drama, the paparazzi chaos, and the tabloid headlines, we are able to find a world that produces an almost endless stream of high quality entertainment content for our viewing pleasure. The producers, actors and actresses, sound artists, costume designers, and the hundreds and thousands of other people who are working in front of the camera and behind the scenes are creating worlds for us we can't even begin to imagine. When movies are created with genuine heart, interest, and knowledge of how to sell a feeling, they are able to reach an audience in a profound way and cement a place in movie history forever. That's why it's so exciting to see some of our favorite stars taking their positions on set as well as behind the mic booms and screens as their own directors.
A number of our favorites have transitioned to the head title, with their acting experience in tow, going on to create a collection of really wonderful and iconic films. And though we wish more women fell under the category (Barbra Streisand stands alone for this specific gallery), we know that the trend of filling both jobs will only continue, hopefully giving women even more opportunities to follow suit. Many actors have already contributed to their own movies both on the screen and from the chair. Check out this list to see if your favorite made the list.
Jersey Films
Before going on to star as everyone's favorite father on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Danny DeVito was not only acting in films but also directing and producing them. With his Matilda co-star and wife, Rhea Perlman, he created the production company Jersey Films and produced not only this Roald Dahl classic, but also Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty. This 1996 film is a favorite, one that in 2018 was turned into a meme challenge replicating its "Little Bitty Pretty One" scene. What can we say? Nothing transcends time like chocolate cake and Rusted Roots.
GK Films
Although Ben Affleck made his feature film directorial debut in 2007 with Gone Baby Gone, he went on to take a lead role in his own movie five years later with historical thriller, Argo. The film, which documents a CIA rescue mission in Tehran that transpires under the guise of a sci-fi crew filming on location, was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won three, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and "Best Film Editing. Though it received a lot of criticism for some historical inaccuracies, the film features a star-studded ensemble including Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, and Alan Arkin, who won a Golden Globe for his supporting performance.
Lakeshore Entertainment
Certainly not his first or last film as a director/actor combo, Clint Eastwood brought tears to many viewers' eyes with his epically incredible and heartbreaking boxing film, Million Dollar Baby. The spaghetti Western star played opposite Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman as old and cranky (a popular role for him these days) boxing trainer, Frankie Dunn, who runs a gym in Los Angeles. The movie won Best Picture at the Academy Awards along with three other categories. Other movies of his that feature dual credits include Gran Torino and The Outlaw Josey Wales.
VH1 Films
If you're looking for someone to thank for never being able to take "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" seriously again (that is, if you weren't already), look no further. Comedic actor Ben Stiller, star and iconic face of Zoolander, also directed the satire. The "Blue Steel" actor based the film on shorter projects he used for the VH1 Fashion Awards in 1996 and 1997. The 2001 movie received mixed reviews and was unsurprisingly banned in Malaysia for its "assassination of the prime minister" plot, but remains both a fan favorite and incredible quote source. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for its 2016 sequel.
Platinum Dunes
It's hard not to think of John Krasinski as lovable prank master Jim Halpert, but boy did he make sure to separate himself from any preconceived notions in his directorial and screenwriting debut, A Quiet Place. Acting alongside his wife, Emily Blunt, The Office actor stars as a father trying to keep his family alive in a post-apocalyptic future where making any noise can kill you. The movie was received incredibly well, garnering a number of awards and nominations as well as a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. A sequel for the film is expected to release in May 2020, and we're looking forward to seeing more through the actor/director/writer's fresh, exhilarating, and detailed perspective.
Media Rights Capital
It should come as no surprise that Seth McFarlane, who has been writing, animating, and voicing Family Guy since it first aired in 1999 makes our list and makes it for a movie about Mark Wahlberg's crude and possibly alcoholic teddy bear. Ted was the 12th highest grossing film of 2012 and received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Original Song, which, of course, he co-wrote. Did we mention he can sing too? The Peter Griffin creator is talented across the board, especially when it comes to vulgar comedy. This movie and its 2015 sequel aren't for everybody, but who can truly deny the hilarity of Marky Mark calling out close to 100 female names to his high stuffed animal in under a minute?
America's sweetheart, Tom Hanks, has been warming our souls for many, many years on screen and off. He took to the director's chair for his 1996 film That Thing You Do!, which he also wrote and starred in and ultimately receiving great reviews. His return as director/actor combo didn't happen again until 2011 when he starred, directed, and co-wrote Larry Crowne, a film about a Navy veteran who after being fired from his job decides to attend community college. Despite being co-written with My Big Fat Greek Wedding star Nia Vardalos, the movie didn't receive great reviews. We're not worried about our guy though, he'll always be Academy Award-winning Forrest Gump in our eyes.
Icon Productions
Controversial actor and director Mel Gibson is known for starring in a lot of popular movies, including The Patriot, Mad Max and the Lethal Weapon series, and he certainly made headlines directing The Passion of the Christ. But as for Braveheart, one of the classics in his repertoire, he took the credits for both actor and director. The film, which focuses on the Scottish war for independence from England, has made its mark as a war movie with an epic battle speech. The film received some criticism for inaccuracies and seeming prejudices (it's Mel, so, fair), but still went on to win the Best Picture Oscar at the 1996 Academy Awards (are we seeing a trend here?) and four others out of its 10 nominations.
TriBeCa Productions
There's nothing like a good mafia movie, and if anyone knows one, it's Robert De Niro. From Goodfellas to The Godfather, the Don has been able to explore the ins and outs of the life of an Italian-American man trying to make his way through a life of crime and family in numerous ways. And he took it a step further in 1993 with his directorial debut in A Bronx Tale, which he helped playwright (and future co-star) Chazz Palminteri adapt for the screen. The film received great reviews, especially directorial praise, and earned four stars from famed critic Roger Ebert. Though it won few huge awards, it's safe to say the movie has cemented itself amongst a very impressive list of gangster flicks for eternity.
Chartoff-Winkler Productions
It's hard not to associate Sylvester Stallone with his classic film Rocky, so it's not incredibly shocking to hear that he not only starred in the following four sequels, but also wrote and directed them. The original sequel, Rocky II, was released in 1979 and received mixed critiques, but soared in terms of box office revenue. Clearly, it did well enough to convince the boxing champ to tag in for more rounds as the acot continues to reprise the role in the Creed series, which he only takes an acting credit for. And who can really blame him for keeping the story going this long? Nothing helps you get up a set of stairs like a little inspiration from Balboa himself.
The Mark Gordon Company
Although you may know him as one incredibly suave and yet devastatingly terrible Gilderoy Lockhart, Kenneth Branagh has been both directing and starring in his own movies for years, many of them based on the works of William Shakespeare. His most recent foray, Murder on the Orient Express, is an adaptation of the classic 1934 Agatha Christie mystery novel starring her famed detective Hercule Poirot. The film features a loaded cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, and Johnny Depp. The film received mixed reviews, but was praised for doing its original author justice and honor. Surely this won't be the last we see from the director. Here's hoping for another magical appearance.
Camelot Pictures
2004 film Garden State has been amassing a cult following for years thanks to the acting, writing, and directing done by Zach Braff. Based on his real-life experiences in the Garden State, the Scrubs star plays Andrew Largeman, a young man who returns to New Jersey after the death of his mother while also facing a number of other issues in his personal life. The eclectic film won a Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, which the leading man put together himself. The film was a directorial debut and a success, delivering a different spin on typical movie tropes.
Smokehouse Pictures
World heartthrob and former professional bachelor George Clooney took the film festival world by storm with his 2011 picture, The Ides of March. Featuring a star-studded cast including Ryan Gosling, Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei, and Paul Giamatti, the story follows the dramatic events of a politician's quest for the presidency as the Democratic primary approaches, which unsurprisingly faces a lot of obstacles on the way. The former ER star, along with his fellow writers Beau Willimon and Grant Heslov, were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay since the movie was based on Willimon's 2008 play Farragut North. Thanks to his many talents on and off the screen, the Ocean's Eleven frontman has been nominated for Academy Awards in six different categories, a record shared only with Walt Disney.
United Artists
Barbra Streisand is iconic in everything she does, and that goes for directing, producing, co-writing, and starring in Yentl. Did we mention she sings, too? The 1983 musical follows the story of Yentl Mendel, who decides to live as a man in order to receive an education in Jewish religious law. This film has given us important content including the song "Papa, Can You Hear Me?" and the medical term "Yentl Syndrome," which identifies how heart attacks differ in men and women, often leading to misdiagnosis. Babs may be last on this list, but she is certainly not least, having directed and starred in a number of other movies while also maintaining a fierce musical career.
Bradley Cooper made headlines - and award buzz - with his redo of the 1937 classic A Star is Born, the fourth remake of its kind. With pop superstar Lady Gaga playing as his leading lady, The Hangover star made his directorial debut in late 2018 and captivated audiences everywhere with his powerful rendition. The film was nominated for five Golden Globes and eight Academy Awards, including "Best Picture." Their original song Shallow, also received nominations as well as radio play. The actor/director credits Clint Eastwood as well as his role in the play The Elephant Man for making him feel ready to both direct the film and to star as addict and musician, Jackson Maine.

Mallarmé and Debussy: Unheard Music, Unseen Text
Elizabeth McCombie's approach to the comparative study of music and literature might be called an interdisciplinary formalism, of a disarmingly subtle kind. She begins from the premiss that one can point to 'abstract, non-mimetic patterns that music and poetry have in common' (p. 97). The patterns she finds between Mallarmé and Debussy are described in the Glossary, which concludes the text, and which sums up the figures around which she builds many of her analytical chapters. Its headings are: arabesque, éclat, enroulement, éventail, explosante fixe, Möbius strip, pli, and thyrsus. However, it would be wrong to conclude from this that McCombie is simply proposing topographical structures that one can map onto either music or literature. Her forms, rather than being concretely present in the works analysed, appear as supplements to them, constructed, as we read or listen, in an intermediary space between words and music, asymmetrically related to each (McCombie is as sensitive to the differences between the arts as to their similarities). They are structures that represent, in various modes, an interplay between a tangible, fixed or ordered element, and a movement that discovers unpredictability, invisibility or absence. McCombie's commentaries on Mallarmé's writings (for example, La Musique et les Lettres, 'Billet à Whistler', or Un Coup de Dés) and on Debussy's music (including the Préludes and Jeux), coordinated in her study, at the end of the book, of Debussy's Trois poèmes de Stéphane Mallarmé, are always directed towards the points at which traditional musical or verbal logic is evaded, perturbed or perverted; she can see these points, not merely as moments of loss, but also as part of a positive pattern. I am not sure to what extent I am convinced by her occasional apparent claim that there is a 'precise modelling' (p. 199) at work here. Indeed, on the most concrete level, her presentation of Mallarmé's prose sometimes lacks a certain precision: there are too many errors in the quotations, which might sap the reader's confidence in the interpretations. (The worst instance is on pp. 36–37: there are five such errors in one paragraph, two of which are omitted commas; this makes one feel uncomfortable when McCombie goes on to say that 'the air provided by the commas gives a dynamic energy to the page'.) The merit of McCombie's figures seems to me that they provide, rather than anything precisely verifiable, a means to look towards the unverifiable; the thyrsus, for example, she says, 'is a keyhole through which the manifestations of hesitation, reflection, and linear improvisation, either in the poem and poem as music individually or between them, may be viewed' (p. 196). Perhaps one could [End Page 405] say, taking up this metamorphosis of the thyrsus, that her achievement is to have turned figures into keyholes, to have shown how a concern with abstract structures can, at least in the space between music and literature, set up endless aesthetic perspectives.

Mom's really killer house + her status as a certified interior designer = me doing her portfolio up for her and possibly jumping on the bandwagon with her since I'm jobless in the city. Because getting your nails done with your mom is WAY out these days, we're getting our business cards done together! Here are just a few of the shots I took of our apartment that will hopefully soon be featured in her portfolio and new website.
I definitely suckled some of the decorating skills from her ample bosom so she recently paid me a little som'n som'n to organize the dining arrangement for this themed birthday dinner party she was throwing to surprise a friend. So, no, the random ball lanterns in the corner aren't part of the house's original setup. The theme was Oriental so I was up on ladders slapping shit to the ceiling...just, nonsense. ridonculous. I'm just like her though. Once I get started, I go to deathly measures to get the absolute best out of any item's potential. Mistress Ivy went sunbathing at the pool for hours and came back and we weren't done. By the time I was, I was cranky as hell and didn't feel like doing anything. Plus I wasn't invited to the already fully seated party. Ivy and I did go out for sashimi and unagi rolls though, which naturally cheered me straight up. Nothing gets better than raw salmon and barbecued eel. Well, I suppose a decorating job would.
...grrr toying with the idea of being my mom's partner is definitely not making me at ease about my future. I mean it might mean having to live here in Abu Dhabi, where I know the clientele is raking it in and totally off their rockers for stylish, elaborate interiors, but on the other hand, it unfortunately also means my relationship with Panda will be even moreso long distance. Like how completely polar are Abu Dhabi and Los Angeles? Fuxsake. Stay tuned....

When they were handing out sports journalists, the British rugby community must have been in the toilet. The Blacks arrive today for their first tour of all four Home Unions since 1983, attempting a Grand Slam achieved only once in a century of Black rugby. But British newspapers have largely responded to the biggest event of international rugby the UK can provide outside a World Cup with hyperbole about an incident from four months ago. That Mealamu and Umage went unpunished by touch judge, referee or match commissioner, is galling. But O'Ddriscoll himself said in a recent BBC interview, "It is time to move on." He actually went much further, adding "I don't have any grudges against Tana or Keven… I would have no problem having a beer with Tana." O'Ddriscoll knows these things are part of rugby. His injury, at least, had no effect on the outcome of the series. But in the 2003 World Cup semi-final, Nnew Zealand's hopes were ended when Aaustralian flanker George Smith took out their best player Justin Marshall, with a late tackle. The 2001 Lions' fortunes turned when their key player, Richard Hill, was taken out by a flying elbow from Nathan Grey. Nneither Grey nor Smith were banned.Rrugby simply has an institutional problem in dealing with foul play of this sort. There is a citing procedure in place, but the match commissioners responsible for applying it bottle it when it comes to the biggest incidents. Who would be the man to ban the Black Captain during a Lions series in Zealand? Or a key Wallaby from the World Cup final in Sydney? It isn't just southern hemisphere players who get away with it; in 2001 Martin Johnson all but shattered McRrae's ribcage, stamping and knee-dropping a man half his size: he was banned precisely until the day before the Six Nnations started. The O'Ddriscoll incident has given this problem unprecedented attention. But it has been wasted, centred on the wrong offenders. Umaga and Mealamu were reckless, but it is their job to be aggressive rugby players. Touch judge Cole, who saw their actions from metres away and failed to even inform the referee, and match commissioner Willem Venter, who somehow decided there was no case to investigate, were there to guard against foul play and their abject failure to do so makes them the real villains of the piece.With an upcoming IRB conference focusing on foul play, here was an opportunity to finally tighten up the citing procedure and cut down on foul play. But it has been lost, as those with a voice about rugby concentrated on immature mud-flinging. rugby fans, we really do deserve better.Even worse, the only likely long term effect of this hysterical ranting is to create more, not fewer, such incidents.The incident, of course, is Lions' captain Brian O'Ddriscoll's ongoing injury, inflicted by Blacks' Keven Mealamu and Captain Tana Umaga. I'm not defending them – picking up, flipping over and dumping players onto the ground is illegal and dangerous precisely because it can cause such serious injuries even when it isn't intentional. I have little patience with ex-Blacks like Zinzan Brooke, so keen to put the incident in the past that they forget to condemn it.ARCHIVE: 4th week MT 2005

It'll be fun." "No way!" Hakkero jumps back. "That place is crazy!" "Huh?" Haku pokes Hakkero on her cheek. "What's crazy about Mayohiga?" "Too many cats." Hakkero leans back and forth. "I don't get why you'd want to go! Nothing actually worth anything there." "Well, we're going to try to find something there. Maybe we have a better sense of perception than you do." I scoff at her. "No way! No one has better perception than The Hakkero!and thus, since I now know your current goal, I've wasted enough time not chasing that bird!" Hakkero puts her goggles on her eyes and tugs her fingerless gloves tighter to her hands. "And with that, I'm off!" She runs off to the west swiftly. I turn my head down. "Are we really going to meet her again? She's just such a nuisance." "No doubt about it!" Haku smiles. "We have to get to Mayohiga now though!" She grabs my hand and takes me north, to a place we've never been before.

Meanwhile, a moment's glance at Haku's face shows her grinning all the way across. In the several hours we've been out, both of us learned so much about the world. We've learned about the hostile beasts and the friendly humans of the world, yet I predict we will learn more than we ever wanted to know. The pursuit ends as the cats stop at a giant black cat. The two dark tails with their white tips waving across her rear straighten out as she stretches her limbs out standing up straight. She was as big as the wolf that we met at the Margatroid Mansion and after yawning and showing off her large fangs in the process, turns her head towards us and scans us throughly with her cat eyes. The gold earring on her right ear bobs slightly. "Do you think she noticed us?" Haku laughs nervously. "We'll have to get her attention somehow." I scoff. [ ] Try talking to Chen anyway.

[X] Try talking to Chen anyway. (1) Cats don't have a "sweet" sense of taste. A starchy food offering will probably be snubbed.
[x] Try talking to Chen anyway. (1) Cats like fish, not bread or potatoes.
[X] Try talking to Chen anyway. (1) I don't know if these two know much about cats or royalty, but dropping food on the floor isn't done for a leader of cats.
- Doubly Lazy Caricature -
[X] Try talking to Chen anyway. (1) "Hello?" I feel stupid talking to a cat whether it be giant or not, but it was the only way to get her to notice us. Chen did pay attention to us and proceeds to press her left paw on Haku's head and rub it softly. "Don't pet me! I should be the one petting you!" Haku whines. I cross my arms with a smirk across my face. "At least when we come back to Aijuu's place, we can tell her that we said hi to Chen." Haku finally gathers the strength to lift Chen's paw off of her head and step back a few paces. "I know it's fluffy, but you scare me a bit!" Chen just purrs loudly at Haku. I pull out the memento and show it to Chen. "Have you seen this person at all?" Chen shakes her head left and right, then meows. "Ugh," I sit down with a thud, "we're getting nowhere." The cats follow Chen as she strolls back to her house. To the right of us, a shed stands with its door slid open. "...or are we?" I put away the memento, get up and check the shed out. Upon further investigation inside the shed, several small sacks of rice have been clawed out, but a few have been left unscathed. I grab Haku's hand and show her my findings. She's still rubbing her hair with her fingers to get all of Chen's fur out of her hair. "That's great! However," Haku grabs some fur out of her hair and flicks it off, "I also learned that Chen was shedding today!" I laugh heartily. "Do you need help, Haku?" "Yes, please." Haku sits down as I sit beside her and look through her hair. "Do you think this is a bit strange?" "It's not going to be the strangest thing we've seen yet, I predict." I finish up with one last clean sweep of her hair. "How's it?" "Thank you! It's feeling way better now." Haku smiles. "What do you want to do with the rice?" I sort through the rice sacks and find one very well off. "We'll take this one and be on our way." Haku stands up and tilts her head. "Which way are you thinking of?" "Uhhh..." I drone on. "We found no leads here, but we found a good supply of rice if we need to come back. There's the castle to the west and if you want to, we can check on The Hakkero in the temple east of our location to see if she caught the bird. [ ] Head west to the castle and investigate.

Comfort amidst the Uncertain & the Unexpected
Entry posted by Marcus Aurelius ·

A Meditation on Isaiah 40:21-31 "Comfort amidst the Unexpected and the Uncertain"
Can I start today's blog by asking my readers a tough question? How many of you have ever gotten fired from a job before? I would love to hear about your experiences in the comments below. Was it sudden? Or did you see it coming? Was it a shock to the system or were you glad to go?
Well, full disclosure…I have to raise my hand. If I'm perfectly honest, so much of my working life has been a lot like the old arcade game Frogger.
If you've never played it, the object of the game is to move your little frog across a busy intersection to get home. There's all these obstacles like cars and trucks in your way. If you stay in one place for too long…splat…you're done. Yeah, a lot of my jobs were like that. So no surprise I saw a game over screen.
I'll never forget…I was working for this large franchise of a major cell phone company. At one time, they had stores all over the state. I started off in their customer retention department…which was calling past customers to come in and upgrade their phones.
Within a month or two I was their top salesperson and so the owner of the company asked if I would also work out on the sales floor to help one of their lagging stores. Within another month or two I was the top salesperson of that store. And I was doing both the retention sales and the retail….so I was making a killing by commission standards. I was also getting the attention of the higher-ups in the company. They very seriously started talking to me about the possibility of opening up my own franchise store. And they were so impressed with my work they were saying they would be willing to help with the initial investment.
Now I come from a very business minded family so when I talked to them about the franchise possibility, they were on board. It seemed like it was really going to become a reality. I had just turned 30, so I thought I was doing pretty good for myself. I was about to own my own store. I'd watch these store owners pull into the parking lots in their BMW's and Jaguars and I'd think to myself….that's going to be me pretty soon. Everything was falling in to place and the future seemed like a done deal.
There was only one last thing to do before I got my own store….they wanted to train me how to manage the daily operations of an existing one.
They sent me to train with the best owner in the company. And I could tell he didn't like me from the start. He was always short, snide, and rude with me. In retrospect, I think he saw me as competition. Well, one night he just abruptly tells me he's leaving, tells me to close up, and walks out. The problem was….he hadn't trained me….on how to close the store. It freaked me out.
I counted down all the registers, I called the guy's assistant manager. He told me how to post the reports for the day and gave me the alarm codes.
I locked up, breathed a sigh of relief, and went home.
The next day this owner called me in to his office and tells me that the technician had left the basement door where they do repairs unlocked and that I hadn't locked it when I left. I said I didn't know anybody even used that door and that I'd appreciate in the future he'd tell me things like that. And if you're going to leave abruptly you might at least tell me what to do.
Then he looked at me with this smug grin and says "Well, unfortunately there won't be a future for you. Leaving that door unlocked posed a big security risk to our company. We're going to have to let you go."
I was stunned. In an instant I went from thinking I was on my way to becoming this franchisee big shot to wondering how I was going to be able to pay rent for the month.
The future that seemed so sure, so foolproof suddenly became lost under a dark cloud of uncertainty. Have you ever been there?
Do you know what I'm talking about? We have a certain illusion of control over our lives…that things are going to go as we expect them to. But then we're hit with the unexpected and the uncertain and those illusions are shattered. We realize we don't have the kind of control that we think.
We realize that we walk a delicate path between happiness and pain, light and dark. We realize that there are very little constants and that our circumstances are always subject to change.
So where do we turn in moments like these? It's easy to lose hope. Again, I'd love to hear about your experiences and how things worked out for you in the comments section.
Today we're going to be taking a look at the historical context of this powerful passage of Scripture and we're going to see how the situations that the Israelites faced so many centuries ago can speak to us now about God's presence in our lives in the midst of the unexpected and the uncertain.
Hezekiah was one of the few righteous kings of Judah. He restored worship of the one true God, Yahweh, all throughout Judah. He brought prosperity and expansion.
Later on, he tried cozying up to Babylon in the north and becoming allies with them. Things were going really well.
But evidently that last part was a mistake because Isaiah comes to him in chapter 39. He says "days are coming when all that is in your house, which your ancestors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord."
The unexpected. You think your enemies are gone. You think the future is wide open and full of promise. But then you find out that backwater kingdom to the northeast…is suddenly going to become the next great super-power…and that nothing will be left. And that's exactly what happened.
In 597 BCE Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians. The Temple was completely destroyed and all the wealth of the Kingdom was plundered and taken to Babylon. But most importantly, the majority of the Jewish people themselves were taken in captivity. It was the beginning of the exile. In an instant, the Jewish way of life was completely lost. In Babylon, most of them lived in labor camps and worked as slaves. The unexpected.
Now between Isaiah chapter 39 and 40…there's actually a time difference of 70 years. That's how long the Jewish people were in exile. 70 long years. The unexpected gave way to the uncertain. I'm sure most of them didn't feel any hope for the future. I'm sure most of them felt that God had completely abandoned them.
And as time passed the prosperity and happiness of Jerusalem became a distant memory. It's said that the Jewish people often sat by the rivers in Babylon, just weeping.
But while the Israelites were being swept up in the winds of the unexpected, uncertainty, and change, the prophet Isaiah knew these things weren't simply a matter of chance, bad luck, or some kind of curses from on high. No, he understood these shifting of the sands as being the human condition. All flesh is like grass. The grass withers. The flower fades. My brothers and sisters, these aren't easy words to hear. And yet, they give us perspective.
They help us to strip away the idols that we create in our own lives; idols of pride, idols of control, idols of power and invincibility.
The Prophet Isaiah witnessed the ebb and flow of human history in a broken and fallen world. He witnessed the rise and fall of nations. And he stood with his people in times of triumph and disaster; joy and sorrow. Isaiah understood the words of the great teacher who came before him, the teacher who said "for everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." The seasons come and go…and everything under the sun is subject to perpetual change.
Isaiah knew they were prisoners to more than just the Babylonians. They were prisoners to time itself.
That's the true exile; deeper even than their terrible circumstances.
See, if you really think about it, we're ALL exiles. We lost the paradise we were created for. And the unexpected, the uncertain….we can't escape these things. Maybe that's why they'd all but given up. Now the irony of this chapter is that it was written just as Babylon itself was collapsing. The Persians were the next superpower. They conquered Babylon. And they freed the Jewish people. They told them they could go home and live in peace.
But a lot of them didn't want to. Jerusalem was in ruins. The temple was gone. They didn't want to rebuild. They were so used to living with their circumstances it was easier to just stay where they were, crying by the side of the river. And we can all relate to that too, can't we? These tempests of the unexpected and the uncertain…they can throw our whole lives into such chaos that we grow weary and exhausted. We can't fight it anymore. We surrender and we let the winds blow us where they will.
The great philosopher Albert Camus said the only real philosophical question is trying to judge whether life is even worth living or not.
And we might all find ourselves asking that same question when we lose a loved one….or when our marriage of so many years suddenly falls apart….or when we lose our job and we're afraid we're going to have to sell our house. These are the circumstances…the unexpected…and the uncertain…that remind us we too are in exile.
But the ancient prophet understood reality more than that modern philosopher.
See, he knew that it's only when we understand our place that we could learn to soar like eagles in spite of our circumstances….because while the philosopher said we're alone in the universe and that life itself ultimately has no meaning…the prophet said that the universe was fashioned by the hands of a providential God….a God who is transcendent and immanent…a God who knows each of us….by name.
God is transcendent. What does that mean? The Prophet says God sits enthroned above the circle of the earth. God is greater than the heavens and the earth. God is above everything that exists…that's what transcendence means. There are at least 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Our Milky Way is just a tiny part of it. But these things didn't come about by time and chance. God created all of it. Comfort my people, God says. Tell them that the endless stars in the night sky aren't gods as the Babylonians believe. Tell them I created them, numbered them and named them. Tell them that there's a power behind the universe….a power that's made all things and that sustains creation.
Just as he did with the Israelites, the prophet is calling us to change our orientation. The Babylonians made idols with their hands.
We make them with our hearts. Hundreds of years after the time of Isaiah, Paul said what was wrong with the Romans was the fact that they exchanged "the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator" See, Isaiah and Paul are telling us to be careful. There are so many good things in creation…things that we're meant to enjoy…but they should never, ever take the place of the Creator who is above all these things. We grow faint, we grow weary when we start to lose our grip on the things we think we possess.
The things we try to plant, the things we try to sew….all of them can be caught up in the whirlwinds of the unexpected and the uncertain. So, Isaiah says, don't hold up anything in creation as being equal to the Creator. Everything in this world around us is subject to change. Don't hold on to worldly things for dear life. Hold on to the one thing that doesn't change…the transcendent God who has made all things. The text says lift up your eyes on high because that's where we find comfort.
But by itself, maybe that's not enough. Because even if we say there's a power behind the universe….that doesn't necessarily mean He's on our side, does it? That doesn't mean He cares. What if He just created everything and then decided to leave and take a long vacation? If you've been in exile like the Israelites it's easy to see how you might start to think that way. Or worse. What if you adopt a kind of fatalism? You start to say maybe God threw these unexpected things into my path. I've done terrible things so maybe I deserve this illness.
No. In times of the unexpected and uncertainty, the Prophet wants us to remember that God is providential. What does that mean? God's providence means that God is in complete control of the universe. He brought everything into existence and He calls all things by name….which means…God has a plan for everything. Time doesn't move forward with endless chains of random events…time is guided by God with a purpose. Now that doesn't mean God causes everything to happen.
That's a mistake a lot of people make when talking about God's providence.
What it means is that God has a plan for reconciliation….for bringing all created things back to Himself. This exile of God's fallen creation ends in reconciliation and restoration.
So what does God's providence mean for you and I? Well, let's say things are going so well for you on the road of life that you're coasting along on cruise control. But then suddenly an obstacle is flung in your path that leaves you scrambling. With God's providence we see that God's still working and moving in our lives...in spite of our circumstances. No matter what happens…even if you end up in a ditch, God is there.
When we face the unexpected and the uncertain, God promises that He'll be with us. God has a plan.
In other words, God in His love for you will get you through it. No matter how bleak the situation is…you're told you have to move in to a care facility. You're told the company is closing its doors forever. No matter what we have to face God promises to give you the strength and power to face it. But by itself, maybe that's not enough either.
If something unexpected has just happened to you…if you're living with uncertainty right now…you might be saying…all of this sounds nice on paper…but how do I know it's true?
How do I know that God really cares about me?
We know God's promises are true because God is immanent. What does that mean? God's immanence means that He's also within and near His creation. In other words, God's never far away. God never takes vacations. He gives power to the faint and he increases the strength of the powerless through Christ. God is always with us in Christ.
This God who sits above the circle of the earth came down and became one of us in Jesus Christ. The transcendent became immanent. So in Christ, all of Isaiah's promises became reality.
Christ is the friend who sticks closer than a brother. Christ is our Good Shepherd who leads us through every valley of the unexpected and the uncertain. Comfort my people…I am with you…I am right beside you.
In the face of the unexpected and the uncertain, we can soar like eagles above all the changing landscapes of our lives when Christ is the source of our strength.
There was a time when the Apostle Paul grew faint and weary. But it was in that dark moment of his life that God said to him, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
Whenever you find yourself facing the unexpected and the uncertain go to the Lord in prayer…ask Him to give you the strength, the courage and the peace to face whatever lies ahead. He'll give it to you. He'll be right there with you.
In closing, sometimes we just need a reminder of that. That day I got fired and all my plans for the future went up in smoke I just sat there in the parking lot of that shopping center watching the cars go by. I couldn't move. I couldn't even think. It seemed like my life was over. I must've been there so long it was getting dark and that finally snapped me out of my stupor. I picked up my phone and I called my Mom.
I told her what happened and she just kept telling me to trust God over and over again. She said Neil, God's always been with you. Don't let something like this cause you to doubt that. And then she read me these words from Isaiah 40.
Just like the Israelites in exile, my circumstances almost caused me to forget all the things God had done in my life.
But sometimes…in these places of uncertainty and the unexpected… all we need is that reminder that God is with us and to seek His strength. Are you in need of a reminder today? Are you in need of His strength? It's right here..Do this in memory of me.
In the Christian church we celebrate Holy Communion. In worship, it's in the celebration of this Sacred Mystery where we find that reminder and that strength. When we say the words of our Great Thanksgiving from the liturgy...we recall the story of God's providence...God's plan...from the beginning...and we bring it into the present moment, our moment. It's alive, it's in our midst.
And when we take the bread and cup, through the power of the Holy Spirit, Christ gives Himself to us as our offering. "Take my body, take my blood...let it give you nourishment and strength. I want you to run, not walk."
So whenever we face the unexpected and the uncertain...let's remember to come to the Table. It's the greatest source of comfort there is. Amen.

When awake she is calling out and repeating herself. The instructions for Zoplicone say to take them just before bed. Has anyone had experience of using this tablet and if there are best times to take it etc.
