A variety of wellness and support activities are available at the Billings Clinic Cancer Center including Integrative Medicine, nutrition, education, and survivorship programs that address emotional and social needs, improve quality of life, encourage sound nutrition, and reduce suffering.
These activities are open to all cancer patients, as well as their families and friends because we understand that regardless of how you may have been touched by cancer, it's helpful to have the support and companionship of others who have shared the same experience.
Our wellness and support activities are split into three categories: Mind, Body, and Spirit. Each class or activity is described here.
Each monthly session will focus on a way to cope with cancer, including complementary therapies such as nutrition, movement, massage, and relaxation. No registration required.

Secondary Overview
Woodford International School has been approved by Cambridge Assessment International Education to offer its world-leading Cambridge programme.
The Cambridge programme for students aged 11 to 19 is made up of three stages - Cambridge Lower Secondary, Cambridge Upper Secondary and Cambridge Advanced – giving students a clear path for educational success. Each stage combines a world-class curriculum, high-quality support for teachers and integrated assessment.
Cambridge Upper Secondary leads to Cambridge IGCSE, the world's most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds. Cambridge Advanced prepares students for university and higher education, and leads to Cambridge International AS & A Level qualifications.
Every year, nearly a million students from 10000 schools in 160 countries prepare for their future with Cambridge programmes and qualifications. Success with Cambridge often gives students admission to the world's best universities – in the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, Germany and beyond.
Michael O'Sullivan, Chief Executive of Cambridge Assessment International Education, said: "We are delighted to announce that Woodford International School has joined our global community of Cambridge schools and we look forward to a long and productive relationship with them."
The Main Admin Office and the Secondary School Office are open from 7:30 am till 4:30 pm. Teachers are expected to be at school by 8:00 am.

Regular and punctual attendance at school is imperative for educational success. This is an area of school life that we monitor closely and are required to report on. Woodford International School is committed to the implementation of a student attendance policy that prohibits discrimination and encourages regular attendance. Students from Kindy to Year 11 must attend 80% of the days each semester. All absences from school for any amount of time require you to notify the school. There are three ways to communicate this absence:
1. Phone the main office 30186
2. Email the administration at firstname.lastname@example.com
3. Write a note and deliver it to the Main Admin Office or the Secondary School Office
When contacting the school please include your child's name, year level, length of absence, reason for absence and parent or guardian's contact details should we need to follow up. Any absence for longer than two weeks will require a doctor's note or approval from the Head of School.
Parents/guardians are required to inform the school in writing about extended periods of leave. Where possible please try to avoid making appointments for your child during the school day. It is also strongly encouraged that family vacations are taken during school vacation periods as excessive absenteeism causes disruption to the delivery of our academic programs and may disadvantage your child, impacting their assessment success. We welcome your support in ensuring that your child attends school regularly and on time.
Students are placed in a homeroom group that is overseen by a homeroom teacher. They meet these teachers twice every day for morning and afternoon registration and also for Personal Development lessons. Homeroom teachers are the first point of contact for students experiencing difficulties.
Students are taught in their homeroom groups for most of the school day and are identified as classes, either A or B. The groups are arranged with consideration of gender, nationality and ability, in order to ensure as wide a mix of students as possible.
We found that on arriving to Woodford all the staff and students were warm, friendly and very welcoming. They make you feel accepted and at home from day one. The entire staffs are wonderful, reception staffs are great and know your name when you walk through the door, all the auxiliary staff say good morning and greet you with a smile, teachers are welcoming, friendly and keen to help settle the children in. In a country that is so different to that of what my children have known, they are happier in school here than they were in Australia and that has enabled us to settle here too.

The Canadian Centre for Architecture
1920, rue Baile
Museums are wonderful places for making discoveries. I particularly enjoy the Canadian Centre for Architecture, a jewel that is the envy of many cities. Created in 1979 by Phyllis Lambert, it remains as avant-garde today as it was when it first opened. The exhibitions and conferences are all designed to teach us more about architecture and design and to open our eyes to the urban world that surrounds us and that we often take for granted. Don't miss the exhibition "Streetview", which closes on May 5: this show transports us through the streets of Montreal to witness – through the eyes of the photographers – their evolution over the course of the 20th century. Fascinating.

Can one believe in the authority of the Bible and also believe that Earth is on the order of a few billion years old?
Are Christians who accept an old Earth "compromisers" who deny obvious truths of Scripture?
Many young-Earth creationist (YEC) leaders insist that acceptance of an old age for the Earth—billions of years rather about six thousand years—is a direct assault on the authority of the Bible. To them, the Bible clearly teaches about Earth history, and any attempt to find room for "deep time" is conformity to the philosophies of the ungodly world. In the words of Answers in Genesis president Ken Ham:
The old earth is such a key issue today in fighting for the full accuracy and authority of the Bible. AiG does not only present the arguments against evolution. You see, it is just as important to offer arguments against an old age for the earth and universe. When it comes to biblical authority, the question of the age of the earth is just as vital as the question of whether evolution is true or not. The chronologies in the Bible and the length of the days of the Creation Week (they were 24 hours each) show that the earth is young. Why try to reinterpret the very clear teaching of Scripture to accommodate the fallible ideas of man that say the earth is old? Such reinterpretations undermine the authority of the Word of God.
Of course, I view this as nonsense. There have been a great number of prominent Evangelical theologians and Biblical scholars in the past two hundred years who have accepted an ancient Earth. They have done so because they view acceptance of an old Earth as compatible with the Bible. One can certainly make a strong case for Biblical ambiguity on the age of the Earth from the Scriptures alone, without any reference to scientific discoveries.
But you don't need to take my word for it. The Gospel Coalition Blog recently posted an article by Michael J. Kruger on the Top 10 Books on the Bible's Authority. The writers at The Gospel Coalition are all theologically conservative, holding to a high view of Biblical authority. As I looked through the list of books and authors, I wondered how many of these ardent defenders of Scripture were old-Earthers. Here are Kruger's top ten books, with what I could find on the internet about the authors' viewpoints regarding the age of the Earth:
10. Scripture and Truth, edited by D.A. Carson and John Woodbridge
D.A. Carson, professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, accepts an old Earth as compatible with Scripture. Here are a couple quotes from his book The God Who is There:
"There is more ambiguity in the interpretation of these chapters than some Christians recognize."
"I hold that the Genesis account is a mixed genre that feels like history and really does give us some historical particulars. At the same time, however, it is full of demonstrable symbolism. Sorting out what is symbolic and what is not is very difficult."
I could not find anything about John Woodbridge's position on the age of the Earth.
9. Reformed Dogmatics: Prolegomena, by Herman Bavinck
Bavinck was an influential Dutch Reformed theologian in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I am having difficulty finding a definitive statement from Bavinck on the age of the Earth. He certainly was not a strict literalist in regards to the six days of creation, and his teachings laid a foundation for both the framework and analogical days interpretations, which both allow for an old Earth. To Bavinck, the Bible did not firmly dictate the age of the Earth, though it could be a stretch to place him in the old-Earth category. But it would also be a stretch to place him firmly in with the YECs.
8. Thy Word is Truth, by E.J. Young
Edward J. Young was professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary, and was an advocate of the day-age interpretation of Genesis 1.
7. The Infallible Word: A Symposium by the Members of the Faculty of Westminster Theological Seminary, edited by Ned Stonehouse and Paul Woolley
This book was first published in 1946. I could not find information on how Stonehouse and Woolley interpreted Genesis in terms of the age of the Earth, but the list of contributing authors to this volume appears to include both young-Earthers and old-Earthers.
6. Fundamentalism and the Word of God, by J.I. Packer
Packer is a professor of theology at Regent College in British Columbia, and one of the most influential Evangelicals in North America. He clearly accepts an old age for the Earth, and appears to see no Biblical problem with acceptance of biological evolution. He wrote a strong endorsement of Denis Alexander's book Creation or Evolution: Do We Have to Choose?
5. Disputations on Holy Scripture, by William Whitaker
Whitaker lived in the 1500s, so I must assume he was a YEC.
4. The Divine Original: Authority, Self-Evidencing Light, and Power of the Scriptures, by John Owen
Owen was a Puritan theologian in the 1600s, and so also almost certainly was a YEC.
3. The Structure of Biblical Authority, by Meredith Kline
Kline is one of the preeminent proponents of the framework interpretation of Genesis 1, so is clearly an old-Earther.
2. The Doctrine of the Word of God, by John Frame
It was difficult to find much about Frame's views on the age of the Earth on the internet. One book review (for another book: The Doctrine of God) stated that Frame believes that the six days of creation were not literal, so it seems that Frame is open to an old Earth. [Update — Frame holds more closely to the seven 24-hour day view, but considers other interpretations to be within the realm of orthodoxy. See comment #1]
1. The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible, by B.B. Warfield
Warfield, one of the writers for The Fundamentals collections of essays that launched American fundamentalism a century ago, accepted an old Earth and biological evolution as God's means of creation. In regards to the age of the Earth. Warfield wrote:
In a word, the Scriptural data leave us wholly without guidance in estimating the time which elapsed between the creation of the world and the deluge and between the deluge and the call of Abraham. So far as the Scripture assertions are concerned, we may suppose any length of time to have intervened between these events which may otherwise appear reasonable. The question of the antiquity of man is accordingly a purely scientific one, in which the theologian as such has no concern.
Of the authors and editors represented in The Gospel Coalition's list of ten best books on the authority of Scripture, a majority are either advocates for or open to an old age for the universe.
|Old Earth
|Young Earth
|I don't know
|D.A. Carson
|William Whitaker
|John Woodbridge
|E.J. Young
|John Owen
|Herman Bavinck
|J.I. Packer
|John Frame (see update note below)
|Ned Stonehouse
|Meredith Kline
|Paul Wooley
|B.B. Warfield
[Update — I have moved Frame from the old earth column (where I had him listed with a question mark) to the young earth column. Frame doesn't consider the age of the earth to be a test of orthodoxy. See comment #1]
Note that the only two clearly young-Earth advocates in the list wrote in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is not that I am dismissing their writings as primitive, but pointing out that they gave no more critical thought to the Biblical teaching about the age of the Earth than they did to the Copernican controversy (Owen defended geocentrism—the idea that the Earth was the center of the universe).
The only way YEC leaders can cling to their my-way-or-the-highway view of Biblical authority is to label all of these Bible-believing old-Earth scholars as "compromisers." I think, however, if The Gospel Coalition's list of "top ten books on Biblical authority" contains a number of books by scholars who believe an old Earth is compatible with Scripture, then it is clear that belief in a young Earth is a secondary issue in regards to acceptance of the truthfulness and authority of the Bible.
This is important for two reasons:
- The YEC insistence that old-Earth scholars are compromisers who undermine Biblical authority is divisive. The followers of organizations such as Answers in Genesis are influenced to view old-Earthers as somehow secondary Christians at best, and perhaps not real Christians at all.
- The YEC insistence that the only valid way to interpret Genesis is that Earth is only 6,000 years old drives people away from Christianity. Either non-Christians don't consider Christianity as a reasonable option, or Christians who figure out that YEC doesn't work scientifically leave the faith. It would be far better for YECs to say, "We believe the Bible teaches a young Earth, but there are other Christians who also believe the Bible who believe it doesn't require a young Earth." We should let secondary issues remain as secondary issues.
Grace and Peace
I prefer to say that we can make a biblical case for ambiguity about the age of the Earth rather than a biblical case for an old Earth. As an old-Earth Christian, I don't have to demonstrate that the Bible requires an old Earth—that would be an impossible task because the Bible does not require an old Earth—but only that it does not require any particular age for the Earth.
The Ken Ham quote is from A Walking Witness and a Whale Story, on his Around the World With Ken Ham blog, August 7, 2013.
The quotes from D.A. Carson's book The God Who is There are from the Internet Monk blog: D.A. Carson on Genesis 1-2 and Science.
According to the Presbyterian Church of America's Report of the Creation Study Committee, "Kuyper and Bavinck in the Netherlands did not hold to the Calendar Day view, but are difficult to categorize in our terms." I got additional information about Bavinck from Herman Bavinck on Creation on Exiled Preacher blog.
That Young held to the day-age interpretation is also documented in the PCA Report of the Creation Study Committee.
The statement that Frame views the days of Genesis 1 non-literally is from a book review of The Doctrine of God.
I briefly wrote about Warfield a couple years ago: Fundamentalism and creationism. The Warfield quote is from Reasons to Believe's page Notable Christians Open to an Old-universe, Old-earth Perspective.
P.S. Michael Kruger had included some "honorable mentions" when he submitted his article to The Gospel Coalition, but they were cut. Here is his extended list of books:
|Old/Young Earth
|Herman Ridderbos
|Redemptive History and the New Testament Scriptures
|Old Earth — Framework interpretation (see Mortenson and Ury, eds., Coming to Grips With Genesis, p. 212)
|Cornelius van Til
|The Doctrine of Scripture
|Open to old Earth (?) — http://www.reformed.org/creation/ states that van Til "felt that the age of the earth was debatable."
|J.W. Montgomery, ed.
|God's Inerrant Word
|Open to old Earth (?) — I assumed Montgomery was a YEC, but he seems to be open to an old Earth. He wrote an endorsement for Dembski's End of Christianity, and his 1970s book The Quest for Noah's Ark (which I read in about 1976) advocated a local flood. Several of the contributing authors to God's Inerrant Word are old-Earthers.
|Carl F.H. Henry
|God, Revelation, and Authority
|Old Earth — "The Bible does not require belief in six literal 24-hour creation days on the basis of Genesis 1-2." (page 6226, from https://www.ministrymagazine.org/archive/2004/09/is-the-genesis-creation-account-literal.html)
|R.L. Harris
|Inspiration and Canonicity of the Bible
|Old Earth — Listed as an old-Earther in Mortenson and Ury, Coming to Grips With Genesis, p. 332.
|J.W. Wenham
|Christ and the Bible
|Old Earth (?) — On page 13 of Christ and the Bible, Wenham states that "The references to the ordinance of monogamy 'from the beginning of creation', for instance, do not seem to necessitate a literal interpretation of chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis for their validity."
|N. Geisler, ed.
|Old Earth
|Greg Beale
|The Erosion of Inerrancy in Evangelicalism
|Old Earth — See summaries of what Beale has to say about Genesis at Greg Beale On Biblical Cosmology, Part 1 and Part 2.
|Paul Wells
|Taking the Bible at Its Word
|I don't know.
See Kruger's extended list at Top Ten Books on the Authority of Scripture (and Honorable Mentions).
The "honorable mentions" list adds six names to the "old Earth" list, two names to the "open to old Earth (?)" list, one name to the "I don't know" list, and zero names to the "young Earth" list.
I would have been very happy with 50% of Kruger's authors being old-Earthers. But as far as I could determine, not a single one of his favorite authors on the topic of Biblical authority after the 17th century is a firm advocate of the "literal" young-Earth interpretation!
YECs will argue that Kruger might have left out some important YEC contributions, such as Coming to Grips with Genesis (subtitled "Biblical authority and the age of the Earth"), edited by Mortenson and Ury. But even if he had added some YEC works, it is crystal clear that there are a number of prominent Evangelical scholars who hold firmly to the authority of the Bible, and yet accept that the Bible does not require a 6,000-year old planet.

What do you get when you combine 17 talented chefs, a variety of tasty dishes and two visionary entrepreneurs?
In South Pasadena that mix has resulted in ChefBox, a unique takeout establishment that offers high-quality meals for lunch and dinner that can be quickly heated up at home or at work. Co-founders Albert Chu and Patricia Huang certainly have experience to draw upon, as they were also instrumental in growing the popular 626 Night Market that's held every summer at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. It's the largest summer Asian food festival in the U.S.
Gaining momentum
ChefBox, 434 Fair Oaks Ave., opened a little more than two weeks ago and it's already gaining momentum, according to Chu.
"These are all passionate chefs," he said. "They make small batches and really focus on the quality of their ingredients. When people discover us they'll usually try one sampler meal. And after they go through their tasting they see how this can work into their daily lives, so they'll fill out their week's meals.
"The trend that we've seen is they usually add two or three more meals to their order than the previous time."
What's in the boxes
Most customers are buying six to eight meals at a time, Huang said.The cuisine is varied, ranging from turkey lasagna and oxtail stew to chicken teriyaki tamanishiki rice and vegetables and spicy minced chicken basil. ChefBox also offers vegetarian and vegan dishes and specialty meals for children.
Meal boxes can be picked up at the store or ordered online. They also plan to launch a delivery service.
"Some of the dishes our chefs create sell out before we even open," Huang said. "This is for people who might not have time to fix dinner. Our society is getting busier and busier. And with two-income, working families, the parents come home and are often too exhausted. And meal boxes that are past peak freshness are donated to local shelters, so nothing goes to waste."
The meal boxes range in price from $7 to about $14, depending upon the dish. Each chef prices his or her own offerings.
The 626 Night Market connection
Chu said ChefBox is a natural extension of Night Market.
"We built this store for people like ourselves," he said. "We're often too busy to put a meal together, but we love really good food, we want that diversity and we want that convenience. We saw how many people come and enjoy the food at Night Market, so we wanted to create a brick-and-mortar version of that."
The business also supports local chefs who often have limited outlets to prepare their food outside of catering or opening a restaurant, which can easily cost $200,000 or more.
Billie Sutton, a former Le Cordon Bleu chef who specializes in world cuisine, is one of the company's chefs. She explained her approach.
"I couldn't pick any one style of cooking that I would want to do all the time so I cook with ingredients from around the world," she said. "I'll use tropical fruits, spices and vegetables that we don't use as much here in the states. But I represent American food, too."
Sutton has catered for celebrities that include Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. She figures ChefBox will resonate with local foodies.
"I love the idea that there is a direct connection between the chef and the customer," she said. "It goes from our hand to yours. I'm really impressed by Albert and Patricia and their passion for food. It's a great idea."
An already loyal customer
ChefBox customer Roseanne Hui is already hooked on some of the dishes.
"I really like the chicken satay garlic noodles and the pork belly adobo, but everything I've had from them is excellent," the 25-year-old South Pasadena resident said. "I used to subscribe to HelloFresh, which provides you with a bunch of ingredients to add to your food. But I didn't have time to cook and put all of the ingredients together. This is much easier and there's not a huge difference between this and what I would normally spend getting groceries."
Growing demand
Chef A.C. Boral creates modern Filipino dishes for ChefBox and said his dishes are selling fast.
"The demand is a lot more than I expected," said Boral, 29, who lives in Long Beach. "I'll have to play catch-up to meet that demand. I know a lot of the other chefs are doing well, too."
Boral said there's a big difference between the dishes he creates and the prepared foods shoppers buy at the supermarket.
"It's the pride in whoever makes it," he said. "If you go to the grocery store and get a Boar's Head sandwich that was prepackaged and has been sitting there for two days … there's not much love in that. This is our trade and craft."
Chu and Huang plan to add more chefs to the mix and expand their business with more locations in the future.

Next you will need a supply of cardboard or newspaper. Earlier this year I started saving pizza boxes, soda cartons and other boxes from purchases.
Now decide where and how big you want your raised bed. Then lay out your cardboard flat right over the grass. I overlapped the cardboard just a little. I have been told the grass will die under the cardboard or newspaper. The cardboard will break down into the soil as the summer goes on.

Breast cancer is a major cancer that is deadly, and everyone from politicians to football players always seems to wear this color in October. When it was established as an awareness month in 1985, the research was done to give awareness to this disease, since it is deadly. Pink in general point to the need to showcase awareness, research, but also fundraising, and there are other important aspects that work as well towards the prevention, treatment, diagnosis, and even the cures for breast cancer. The numbers are staggering, with about 200,000 different cases diagnosed in 2016 alone, there are also breakthroughs, and you can read here how your oral health may play a part in this disease.
While it has been decreasing, it's still extremely real, and prevention is the way to succeed. It actually is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women in America, it is a huge number and it actually is a large number f women who develop this invasive disease.
The risk of this actually doubles when she's a first-degree relative of someone who has. But, about 85% of women have breast cancer with no family history of it. These genetic mutations and cancerous lumps, which are a result of aging and life, in general, do happen, but you can prevent this with some small lifestyle choices since it can have a positive effect on this.
If you have had bad oral health or periodontal disease, you're 11 times more likely to develop breast cancer, but your oral health habits are something that you've got control over, and with the right care, you can monitor and reduce the chances of periodontal disease and also reduce the instance of other health issues too.
If you want to have good oral health, you must simply do the following:
- Brush your teeth twice a day, with a toothbrush and some fluoride toothpaste that's approved by the ADA for this
- Flossing daily cleaning between your teeth with some dental floss or an interdental cleaner every single day
- Visiting your dentist regularly by scheduling a professional cleaning and checkups every six or so months.
With this as well, you should also visit your other doctors and healthcare professionals, and when you're over the age of 30, you should start getting mammograms, since that will detect any potentially cancerous cells that can be there. But, if you do take care of yourself, and you watch for anything out of the ordinary, you'll be able to successfully create a healthier life, and you can prevent this cancer from getting worse with wear.
With cancer, you need to watch out for this. It is a very deadly disease, and it's still super rampant, so you need to make sure to remind those in your life that not only is it very important to become aware of breast cancer, you need to also take the preventative steps to ensure that you know that this is happening, since if you do detect this early, you can ultimately save a life. Breast cancer is a terrible cancer that does take the lives of many women, but with more and more medical technology coming forward, it's obvious that you'll definitely get the chances that you need to help your loved ones out whenever they do have issues involving this, and you can always get them to watch their own oral health by having them visit a dentist regularly, and to get the help that they need to feel better, and to maintain a much healthier life.
Breast cancer is no joke since it is a deadly disease that is very hard to have gone away since ultimately it does involve a lot of issues over time. But, if you do prevent your teeth from getting worse, you can stop this from becoming a problem in its tracks, and not only that, you'll also be able to live a much healthier, longer life, and from there, you'll feel much better. Your health is important, and you too can ultimately really benefit from this, and truly master the ability to really enjoy your life, and not have to worry about cancer.

Add multiple functions to your bedroom by creating a seating area.
If possible, anchor your seating area around a focal point.
Use the seating area to delineate space between your bed and the rest of the room.
Consider a chaise or daybed that could be used as an extra sleeping space, if needed.
When space is tight, a small bench at the foot of the bed can help round out the space.
Consider built-in storage for a polished look.
Add extra storage on both sides of the bed for a balanced look.
Under-bed storage may be your best bet when trying to maximize space.
Place a trunk at the foot of the bed for a more traditional feel.
Small baskets can store odds and ends while keeping your space looking organized.
Think about using wallpaper as an alternative to wall art.
Use a piece of wall art to emphasize the focal point of the room.
Group several different paintings to create a gallery wall.
Consider creating a custom mural to personalize your space.
Remember that wall art doesn't have to mean paintings; it can be a mirror or other 3D object as well.
Use textiles to bring new textures into the space.
Rugs and floor coverings are a great way to add texture.
Employ texture to bring more visual weight to the space.
Look for textiles that bring a sense of contrast.
When in doubt, add lots of layers to your bedroom.
Don't be afraid to mix and match a variety of accent pieces.
Incorporate lots of different prints and patterns.
Use accents as an opportunity to bring out bold colors.
Pair similar accents throughout the space.
Decorative objects make great accent pieces.
Your home's master bedroom should feel like an oasis. It should be the relaxing space where you can go to escape the rest of life's never-ending pressures. The question is: How do you create a space that feels equally indulgent and functional?
Don't worry — we've got you covered. We've compiled some master bedroom ideas to help take your space from simply being where you sleep to your favorite room in the house. Use this resource as a guide, throw in a little of your personal style and we bet that you'll be resting comfortably in no time.
Give the room multiple functions by creating a separate seating area.
Your bedroom shouldn't just be the place where you sleep. Ideally, the space should feel like somewhere you want to spend your free time. One easy way to achieve that is by adding a seating area that you can use when you don't feel like lounging in bed.
As with any seating area, it's important to identify which function it will fulfill. If you like to curl up with a good book, place a stately armchair next to a bookcase. If you're all about catching up on your favorite shows, look for a loveseat or daybed that will give you room to stretch out.
Use built-in storage units to create a polished look.
More often than not, people struggle with trying to make the most of limited storage in their bedrooms. One surefire way to combat that issue is by bringing it to the forefront of your design rather than hiding it away. By incorporating these storage solutions into your décor, you can let your belongings serve stylish double-duty.
To give your master bedroom a lasting, stately design, consider investing in a built-in closet-organization system. These can be customized to your space and needs. If you prefer a less-permanent solution, open shelving can give the space a modern feel. A foot trunk also works if your taste veers toward the traditional.
Consider the shape and size of the space you're trying to fill when choosing wall art.
Proper wall art is vital to every space, but it may be even more important in bedrooms where there are typically fewer design elements to add visual interest. Whenever possible, use wall décor to anchor each of the distinct function areas in your space, such as above the bed, beside some seating and in the dressing space. Then, add other artwork to any walls that feel too blank.
When choosing the pieces that will decorate your walls, try to keep variety in mind. Play with colors, textures and artistic materials for the artwork itself, and don't be afraid to mix different sizes, shapes and frame styles.
Bring visual weight to the space with textured textiles.
In interior design, texture plays an important part in the way that we perceive how a space feels. For your master bedroom, you'll want it to feel warm, inviting and cozy, among other positive attributes. You can easily bring a homey feel to the space by using plenty of textiles.
Of course, the first textiles that spring to mind are the bedding. But don't just settle for any set. Layer multiple materials — think down, silk and shearling — to create a space that you never want to leave. Then, warm up the rest of the room by putting down a throw rug or adding a blanket to your seating area.
Don't be afraid to mix and match with your accent pieces.
More often than not, bedrooms tend to be neutral spaces. After all, who doesn't want to create a calming environment when a good night's rest is on the line? But when you have neutral walls and bedding, accent pieces become that much more critical for creating a balanced design.
Don't be afraid to go big with your accents for the master bedroom. Find pieces that include some of the bolder shades in your color scheme. Don't shy away from patterns or prints. Choose items that you love; just be sure that they bring your personality into the room.
Focus on creating a space that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable.
Everyone wants a bedroom that feels like an escape from their busy lives, but sometimes it can be hard to strike the balance between indulgence and function. We hope these master bedroom ideas can help you achieve the perfect middle ground. Feel free to use our suggestions as the jumping-off point to designing your new favorite room in the house.

It was enough to draw double-takes.
Was that really Andre Agassi charging the net the way a classic grass-courter would? Serve-and-volleying as if he'd done it all his life? And winning the points?
It sure was. Hey, this is one ol' guy quite capable of new tricks.
Adding a wrinkle -- to his game, we mean -- the 33-year-old Agassi moved a step closer to becoming the oldest Wimbledon champion in the Open era by beating Younes El Aynaoui 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4) Saturday to reach the fourth round.
Agassi won the point all 10 times he came in behind his serve, and he was 27-for-30 overall at the net.
"I don't know what got into me out there," Agassi said, smiling. "I probably won't do that again until about 2010."
The first of his eight Grand Slam titles came at the All England Club in 1992, and he could break the Wimbledon record for biggest gap between championships (Bill Tilden won the tournament in 1921 and 1930).
First things first, though.
Agassi's opponent in the round of 16 will be Mark Philippoussis, a three-time quarterfinalist. The 1.93 m Philippoussis can pound serves with the best of 'em, and he compiled 33 aces in beating Radek Stepanek 4-6, 7-6 (7), 6-4, 7-6 (6). The 1998 US Open runner-up was broken once -- in the opening game, when he double-faulted twice.
Also into the fourth round: No. 10 Tim Henman, the lone Briton left; 2002 finalist David Nalbandian; French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero; and No. 13 Sebastien Grosjean. Henman faces Nalbandian next. Two seeded players lost: Alexander Popp beat No. 11 Jiri Novak, while Olivier Rochus defeated No. 30 Jarkko Nieminen.
Philippoussis is unseeded after a string of left knee operations.
"I've never doubted my ability," he said. "I've always said: `If I'm healthy, I'm dangerous.'"
That's also the case with two-time major champion Mary Pierce, who had back, shoulder, abdominal, ankle and groin problems since winning the 2000 French Open. Now in better condition, Pierce reached Wimbledon's fourth round for the first time since 1999 by topping No. 23 Lisa Raymond 4-6, 6-3, 7-5.
Also advancing: defending champion Serena Williams, French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne and Jennifer Capriati. Maria Sharapova knocked off No. 11 Jelena Dokic 6-4, 6-4 to become the fourth wild-card entry ever in the fourth round. The 16-year-old Russian joins No. 10 Anastasia Myskina, No. 15 Elena Dementieva, No. 16 Vera Zvonareva and Svetlana Kuznetsova to give the country five women in the final 16 at a Slam for the first time.
Agassi, at this stage of a major for the 37th time, built his career from the baseline. As he said before Wimbledon: "If I need my volleys to come through for me to win a match, then I'm hoping for a lot out there."
Yet there he was on Center Court against the 27th-seeded El Aynaoui, serve-and-volleying to end the match's seventh game.

To any of the pundits or talking heads that do not give us proper credit for this great Midterm Election, just remember two words – FAKE NEWS!
In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats. If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes. She has earned this great honor!
If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game!

What a day! It started off with my wife needing to make a trip to a neighboring town leaving me with both girls. No problem though as we all proceeded to head out to the shop shortly after mom left and breakfast was eaten.
I set about laying a piece of plywood (1/4 inch 4'x4′ scrap) onto two sawhorses creating a bit of a table. Onto this, I laid the lines down from the plans. While this sounds easy I was at a bit of a loss on how to start and what exactly the measurements would and needed to translate too in reality. With much calculating, deliberating, second guessing and eventually drawing; the template was created. Believe it or not but when it comes to math, I am little better than a functioning idiot, thus it took quite a while to create this template.
I believed it would be a good idea to create "moulds" or 3d templates of the framing members from 1×4 whitewood and door paneling (more scrap from the shop) to transfer onto the real wood. Thus I labored and cussed and produced the moulds which I promptly transposed onto the actual lumber. With the angles on frame A being a bit of a bear; I found myself "truing" up the beveled cuts on the 1x with my planer and a jig I built. Even so, afterwards they were not the prettiest cuts I have ever made. Further I figured I would use plywood plates on all the joints to help hold it together and provide extra strength.
My wife returned from her trip later that evening and I decided to put off gluing frame A together until the following morning. Figured it would be somewhat nice to spend an evening inside with the girls relaxing; after all it was a tiring day (at least mentally if not physically as well) lol.

Off The Hook
Hardwell & Armin van Buuren
It's not often that two of the world's biggest electronic dance music DJs and producers join forces on a club track capable of wreaking havoc whenever it's blasted from high-powered, high-fidelity soundsystems. This is one of those rare instances. Today, GRAMMY nominated artist, Armin van Buuren, and two-time DJ Magazine 'no.1 DJ,' Hardwell, release their new clubland collaboration, 'Off The Hook' (Armind/Revealed).
The Original Mix welcomes the listener with a cheerful, percussive horn on the intro that builds to a tantalizing, teasing signature synthesizer lead instantly recognizable by anyone who's attended an electronic dance music (EDM) festival this summer. This was a monumental summer track that received a reliably massive reaction every time Hardwell or Armin played it. At one point, the tempo slows seductively before ramping back up to full-throttle again and club-goers can feel sonic showers raining down on them as the whopping chorus crashes overhead. There's an interlude sans percussion with beautiful, soaring orchestral strings and a melodic synth mirroring the main lead. It's truly remarkable that these two winning producers could pack so much oomph into one track, because there's yet another interpretation of the main lead that feels distinctly inspirational and uplifting in a way not heard elsewhere in this track, even though the notes played are identical. Before long, the tweaky horns re-enter and build to a frantic tempo that sounds chaotic as it crashes down again into the chorus, this time even bigger, badder and more furious than before. Here is an epic tune that will flatten everything in its path. The Radio Edit cuts immediately to the main synth lead. It takes the Original Mix and boils it down to the most essential parts, compacting them tighter and squeezing out the air until only the key elements remain. The Radio Edit of 'Off The Hook' is ideally suited for today's youth. It's perfect for those who have the shortest of attention spans.

Broader Impact #3: This REU will develop new knowledge about social and environmental issues (particularly marine debris, flooding, and disaster management) in Belize through collaboration with University of Belize, the Smithsonian, community organizations, and residents.
Broader Impact #4: The REU program also has practical significance for Belize communities as new geospatial research is conducted to support spatial decision making and foster science-informed citizens. Shared GIS products, data, research findings, and short non-technical reports will be disseminated on an online mapping portal and project site.
Broader Impact #5: As REU students live abroad, they will encounter challenges, opportunities, and experiences that are specific to doing international research. These experiences will allow students to develop a deeper respect for human subjects and increased self-awareness of their own ethics, identities, and positionality in complex, international research settings. Such knowledge can lead to a transformative experience helping students and all collaborators develop into more globally-aware, ethical researchers committed to applying geospatial STEM research skills in international community-based work.

I joined Primerica in 2002 after hearing about a business opportunity from a Primerica Representative. At that time in my life, I was working as a Full Time Family Manager and was searching for a chance to improve my family's quality of life.
Primerica allowed me to be my own boss, work as many or as little hours as I chose and enjoy an unlimited income potential* — all while helping families become debt free and financially independent.
For me, the Primerica Opportunity was a dream come true. Today, my organization continues to grow and I'm on my way to fulfilling my goals and dreams. Primerica has changed my life!

Some have given up chocolate or sweets. Others are abstaining from alcohol or soda. In Augusta, Ga., the Balducci family has turned off their TV during this season of Lent.
"What happens for us is that it's so easy to slip into the habit of making TV the default entertainer or the babysitter in the home," says Rachel Balducci. "So Lent is a good time to regroup and bring a little order back into our lives."
Balducci is the mother of five boys and a baby girl who range in age from 10 months to 14. She is an author and an award-winning blogger who chronicles life at Testosterhome.net and FaithandFamilyLive.com.
In Kissimmee, Fla., Karen Wolff says that this Lent marks the 11th year that the family has fasted from TV. At first it wasn't easy.
"That first Lent I was scared out of my mind," Wolff recalls. "I was home all day, and I liked the convenience of turning on the TV to get things done. I was nervous at first and wondering if we could really do it."
Now, however, after all these years, she, her husband and their six kids are used to the annual 40-day tradition.
"We have done it so many years that now the kids do not balk too much when Lent rolls around," Wolff adds. "They may complain a little, but they expect it. I think they may secretly enjoy the break from TV. It has been a great experience for us."
The Gift of Moderation
Both Balducci and Wolff say that in no way do they think that television is evil in itself. It has its spot in the domestic church and needs to be monitored and put in its proper place. These moms echo the teaching of the Catechism:
"The means of social communication (especially the mass media) can give rise to a certain passivity among users, making them less than vigilant consumers of what is said or shown. Users should practice moderation and discipline in their approach to the mass media" (2496).
These families have learned that Lent is the perfect time to gain some perspective on the role of TV in their families' lives.
"We are not going to get rid of our TV," says Balducci. "We want it to serve us and not for us to serve it."
Balducci recalls that she often turned to the TV as a peacemaker to settle down her kids. However, the fasting from TV has demonstrated real peace for her and her children.
"At first, it was hard for the 'No TV option' to settle in among my kids. But then an amazing peace came into our home. What happened is that the true personality of who my kids are came out. Instead of relying on TV to calm them down, they would open a book or go outside and whittle with sticks or build or create," explains Balducci.
Turning on the Positive
Similar scenarios take place in the Wolff family.
"With the TV off, our kids read more books; we take walks and play outside more. Even my husband and I read more and talk more," Wolff shares. "Everyone seems to linger over dinner longer, enjoying the food and the company, without feeling like we need to rush to clean up and get on to the next event of the night."
In Peoria, Ill., Tim Roder and his wife try to put a positive spin on the 40-day TV and media fast that their family has undertaken now for nearly 10 years. With five sons ranging from age 17 on down, turning off the TV and gaming systems for Lent has become increasingly difficult.
"When our kids were little, they didn't know any better," explains Roder. "As the boys have grown older, we have gotten more complaints from them when Lent rolls around."
Roder, who serves as the director of marriage and family life for the Diocese of Peoria, notes that he and his wife tell their kids that Lent is not just about giving something up, but it is also about doing something good.
"We tell them that we are trying to sacrifice something that still can be a good thing, like TV," he says. "As well, we want to incorporate more silence into our home, so we can listen as we pray. In order to do prayer, fasting and almsgiving, something else has to give, and those areas that can easily consume all of our time are the TV, gaming and computer screens."
For any family who is "on the fence" and not sure if a 40-day TV fast would really be possible in their house, Roder offers the following advice: "Fasting is not just about giving up food. It is about asking, What am I going to go without so that I can discipline myself, my body, my heart for the more essential thing?"
"Analyze your fear when it comes to turning off the TV," he adds. "If this is something that you really fear that you cannot live without, then that would be the thing that I would suggest working on for Lent. I tell my kids that you do not give up candy or chocolate if you don't even eat those things. You give up the thing that is a sacrifice."
Wolff agrees that the benefits that she and her family have experienced over the years with turning off the TV during Lent have far outweighed the temporary sacrifice.
"We've gained hours back in the day we didn't know we had. With the TV off, we are able to promote wholesome activities for our children, and it simplifies life," explains Wolff. "For any family contemplating taking the turn-off plunge, I say, 'Go ahead and do it.' You'll be so happy you did."

Adam Parking was the second person eliminated from Australian Survivor 2017. After forming a strong initial alliance with Kate, Tara and Ziggy.
Adam's game was railroaded after finding a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol in the boat the Samatau tribe had just won at reward. After successfully identifying and placing a target on AK's head, Adam went to find the Idol after a heavy storm, but with no success returned to camp. AK trailed Adam across to the small island across from the Samatau camp to also search for the Idol. After an argument on the beach between Adam and his alliance, Adam was able to convince Ziggy and Locky to head back to the island to find the idol before it found its way into AK's hands, but were too late and only found a piece of string, that was attached to the idol.
Back at camp, the people outside of Adam's alliance, plus a now detached Tara formed a new "Misfit" alliance to vote out Adam, after AK revealed he in fact had found and would be playing the hidden immunity idol at the next tribal council.

The Baptist Articles of Faith are the doctrinal statement of the Baptist church. Even though there are some minor modifications, almost all Baptist hold the Articles, as presented in this series, to be of foundational importance. These are the third eight of twenty-four articles.
Article 17: Of the Righteousness and the WickedWe believe that there is a radical and essential difference between the righteous and the wicked. Those only who are justified through the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and sanctified by the Holy Spirit are truly righteous in His sight.
Those who continue in impenitence and unbelief are in His sight wicked and are under condemnation. This distinction between the righteous and the wicked holds in and after death, and will be made manifest at the judgment when final and everlasting awards are made to all men. (see Mal. 3:18; Rom. 1:17; I Jn. 5:19)
Article 18: Of Christian EducationWe believe that Christianity is the religion of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. All sound learning is therefore a part of our Christian heritage. The new birth opens all human faculties and creates a thirst for knowledge.
An adequate system of schools is necessary to complete spiritual program for Christ's people. The cause of education in the Kingdom of Christ is coordinate with the causes of missions and general benevolence, and should receive along with these the liberal support of the churches. (see Mt. 28:19-20; Pro. 10:14; Tit. 2:14; 3:8 for support of this portion of the Articles of Faith)
Article 19: Of Social ServiceWe believe that every Christian is under obligation to seek to make the will of Christ regnant in his own life and in human society; to oppose in the Spirit of Christ every form of greed, selfishness and vice; to provide for the orphaned, the aged, the helpless, and the sick; …
to seek to bring industry, government and society as a whole under the sway of the principles of righteousness, truth and brotherly love; to promote these ends Christians should be ready to work with all men of good will in any good cause, always being careful to act in the spirit of love without compromising their loyalty to Christ and his truth.
All means and methods used in social service for the amelioration of society and the establishment of righteousness among men must finally depend on the regeneration of the individual by the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus. (see Mt. 5:13-16; 25:35-46; Lk. 9:23)
Article 20: Of StewardshipWe believe that God is the source of all blessings, temporal and spiritual; all that we have and are we owe to him. We have a spiritual debtorship to the whole world, a holy trusteeship in the gospel, and a binding stewardship in our possessions.
We are therefore under obligation to serve him with our time, talents and material possessions: and should recognize all these as entrusted to us to use for the glory of God and helping others.
Christians should cheerfully, regularly, systematically, proportionately and liberally contribute of their means of advancing the Redeemer's cause on earth. (see Ps. 24:1; I Pet. 4:10; I Cor. 16:1-2; Gen. 14:20; Lev. 27:30-38 for support of this portion of the Articles of Faith)
Article 21: Of Evangelism and MissionsWe believe that it is the duty of every Christian man and woman, and the duty of every church of Christ to seek to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. The new birth o man's spirit by God's Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others.
Missionary effort on the part of all rests thusly upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life. It is also expressly and repeatedly commanded in the teachings of Christ.
It is the duty of every child of God to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by personal effort and by all other methods sanctioned by the gospel of Christ. (see Mt. 28:19-20; Eph. 2:10; Tit. 2:14; 3:8)
Article 22: Of the ResurrectionWe believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that Jesus rose from the dead. His grave was emptied of its contents. He appeared to the disciples after his resurrection in many convincing manifestations. He now exists in his glorified body at God's right hand.
There will be a resurrection of the righteous and the wicked. The bodies of the righteous will conform to the glorious spiritual body of Jesus. (see Mt. 28:1-6; Jn. 5:28-29; I Cor. 15:49 for support of this portion of the Articles of Faith)
Article 23: Of the Return of the LordWe believe that the New Testament teaches in many places the visible and personal return of Jesus to this earth. "This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." The time of his coming is not revealed.
"Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only" (Matthew 24:36). It is the duty of all believers to live in readiness for his coming and by diligence in good works to make manifest to all men the reality and power of their hope in Christ. (see Acts 1:11; Mt.24:26; Tit. 1:2; II Thess. 1:3-8)
Articles of Faith 24: Of the World to Come We believe that the end of the world is approaching; that at the last day Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave to final retribution; that solemn separation will then take place; ...
that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment, and the righteous to endless joy; and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven or hell, on principles of righteousness. (see Acts 1:11; 24:15; Mt. 25:46 for support of this portion of the Articles of Faith)
These are the third eight of twenty-four Articles of Faith.

Undefeated in the Big 12, the Texas Longhorns are running hard from the rap that they're a team stocked full of big, fast, talented five-star recruits. By Tom Keegan
KU football coach Charlie Weis answers questions from the media following KU's 35-13 loss at Texas.
Candidates for Game Balls and Gassers following Kansas' 35-13 loss to Texas on Saturday ...
Despite a rough first half in which the Kansas University offense once again struggled to put points on the board, the Jayhawks got a late lift from an unlikely place as time ran out on the second quarter.
The Kansas football team lost the game with ill-timed self-destructive plays from the offense and special teams, Journal-World sports editor Tom Keegan writes.
Texas' Malcolm Brown scored four rushing touchdowns, leading the Longhorns to a 35-13 victory over Kansas on Saturday afternoon in Austin, Texas.
The game changed midway through the third quarter when KU trailed 14-6 and started a drive at the Texas 46 after a poor Longhorns punt.
KU quarterback Jake Heaps was sacked by Cedric Reed and lost the ball, and Texas' Chris Whaley scooped it up, running 40 yards for a TD. Suddenly, the Jayhawks were down 21-6.
Other than the fumble, Heaps had his best game in weeks. The junior completed 11 of 21 passes for 160 yards.
Rodriguez Coleman caught two passes for 85 yards before leaving in the second half with a right knee injury.
Brown rushed 20 times for 119 yards, while the Longhorns (6-2) finished with 221 total rushing yards.
Isaiah Johnson added a pair of interceptions for KU's defense.
KU (2-6) will play at Oklahoma Stata at 3 p.m. on Nov. 9.
Second Quarter
14:19 — Malcolm Brown 2 run. Anthony Fera kick. After a strong start by the Kansas defense, this Texas drive was extended when Billy Owens ran into the punter deep in Texas territory on fourth-and-five. That kept the drive alive and paved the way for a 15-play, 92-yard scoring drive by the Longhorns, who picked up a couple of big pass plays from Case McCoy to Jaxon Shipley, including a 31-yard gain that set up first-and-goal. (UT 7, KU 0).
2:31 — Malcolm Brown 3 run. Fera kick. With the Kansas offense unable to get anything going, the Longhorns finally made their favorable field position pay off again with a seven-play, 56-yard drive capped by Brown's second TD run of the game. Brown carried three times for 25 yards on the drive, including a 21-yard scamper that set up the score. Wide receiver/weapon Daje Johnson also carried the ball three times on the drive and Texas' offensive line controlled KU's front seven. (UT 14, KU 0).
:00 — Ron Doherty 21 field goal. The KU defense got the stop it needed late in the half and a poor punt by Texas set the Jayhawks up in Longhorn territory with a chance to score. Despite going backwards on their first play, the Jayhawks cracked the scoreboard as time expired in the first half, thanks to a great grab by Rodriguez Coleman on a third-down throw from Jake Heaps. Coleman overcame pass interference to haul in the pass that set up the chip shot field goal from Doherty, who had been demoted to second team but came on to replace the ineffective Matthew Wyman, who missed a 31-yard try on KU's first possession. (UT 14, KU 3).
Third Quarter
12:48 — Ron Doherty 27 field goal. Credit Jake Heaps and Rodriguez Coleman for this score, as well. On the second play of the second half, Heaps hit Coleman down the seam for a 42-yard gain. Pass interference in the end zone followed and that gave KU a first-and-goal from the UT 10 yard line. Three incomplete passes followed and the Jayhawks settled for three and pulled to within one score. The drive covered 65 yards in six plays and 2:12. (UT 14, KU 6).
6:25 — Chris Whaley 40 fumble return. Fera kick. After a big stop by the Kansas defense, the KU offense took over with excellent field position and had a chance to negotiate a short field to tie the game. Instead of adding to the momentum, though, the offensive line was blown up on the first play and Jake Heaps was sacked by Cedric Reed, who caused a fumble and then watched his buddy, Whaley, rumble untouched to the end zone to put UT ahead comfortably. (UT 21, KU 6).
0:45 — Malcolm Brown 2 run. Fera kick. During the past few weeks, Texas quarterback Case McCoy has developed some nice chemistry with wide receiver Marcus Johnson. That connection came through big time on this scoring drive, which covered 57 yards in nine plays and 3:37 and featured a 32-yard grab by Johnson on third and five to get the drive off and running. (UT 28, KU 6).
Fourth Quarter
9:07 — Malcolm Brown 30 run. Fera kick. With the Kansas offense stuck in the mud, Texas' offense continued to get good field position and chances to run and the Longhorns took full advantage. This drive spanned 63 yards in five plays and 2:10 and was capped by Brown's fourth TD run of the day on a fourth-and-one play. (UT 35, KU 6).
3:39 — Montell Cozart 20 run. Doherty kick. With the game out of reach, KU kept things on the ground late and picked up some nice chunks of yardage from Darrian Miller, James Sims and Cozart. The drive spanned 75 yards in nine plays and 5:28 and featured back-to-back runs by Cozart, who took an option around the right side and then outraced a couple of UT defenders to the corner of the end zone. (UT 35, KU 13).

Children's Ministry
What is Godly Play?
Children have the opportunity to go up to our Godly Play Room during our 10.00am Service.
Children first hear a message from a member of the congregation, then they are led upstairs to the Godly Play room. Here the children experience a beautifully crafted story from our team of storytellers and spend some time wondering what God may be trying to share with us about this story. Then they spend time either in creative response with a wide array of materials which can encourage them to think more deeply about the story or sharing a feast within the community. After prayers and a blessing the children return for the end of the service or to share communion with their families.
All people involved in ministry to children at St Paul are trained in Child Safe and have a current working with children police check.
Please assist us in this mission by considering undergoing this training to make our church as welcoming as possible for children and families.

Saints I Need -- Now!
Thanks to my first grade teacher, Sister Celeste, and her dramatic stories about holy people, I developed an early fascination with the saints. Once I could read well enough, I devoured every saint book in our school library and dreamed of growing up to be a martyr. Over the years, I looked to the saints for inspiration and turned to them for help.
I still do.
But sometimes I find myself wishing for new saints…special saints…saints who fit the life I'm living right now and the problems I wrestle with every day. I wrote about these saints-that-don't-exist-but-really-should on the Catholic365 site. You can read about Saint Peter the Podiatrist, Saint Kitkat Goodbar of Hershey, St. Tardia the Venerable Procrastinator, and all my other imaginary saints here.
