I am diabetic, and couldn't eat my favorite bread and butter pickles 🙁
But now I can, and I must say these are just great! I love your sugar free bread and butter pickles! Thank you so much for making it possible to have these pickles again!!!

Bought the no-sugar pickles by accident a few years ago and obviously ate them anyway – I wasn't going to throw them out. Absolutely cannot believe they are no-sugar. Out of the fridge, they are cold, crisp and taste naturally sweet. I'm not diabetic, but try to limit my sugar intake. Nice to know you can snack on these as much as you want and get no added sugar, and they TASTE GREAT!

I am a diabetic and always loved my bread and butter pickles. But now I can have more with this product. And you cannot tell the difference. These are just Great! Wish they would be available in a larger jars. Keep up the great work.

Deborah Camilliere –
My husband and I absolutely love your sugar-free bread and butter chips and relish and have been eating both for several years! Now that my husband has developed diabetes, it is more important than ever to eat the sugar-free varieties. Sometimes it is hard the find the sugar-free versions so I stock up on both when the store has them as they are a delicious low-calories snack and condiment.
I will let the grocery store managers know that they need to make sure they keep these products on the self. As a native North Carolinian I only buy delicious Mt. Olive pickles!!!
Thank you,
A Very Loyal Customer

I am a diabetic your no sugar bread and butter pickles are great. The relish is also very good. The only thing is that I haven't been able to find them at a Winn Dixie in Montgomery Al. They run out frequently. Why don't more stores carry them?

Being a diabetic, these pickles are out of this world. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zabrina Dennis –
I recently found these pickles and I LOVE them. I eat them right out of the jar! I would never know from the taste that they have no added sugar. I recently had weight loss surgery aftwr 15+ years of trying to lose weight, terrified of actually going under the knife. I have had complications (though no regrets!) including a complete intolerance to added sugar! I never realized how many products (including some canned veggies and almost all soups) add sugar to their products. I thought I would have to wait to can my own no sugar added pickles in the spring. Thank you Mt. Olive!!!
Oh, and just to let yall know, I know 1st hand how picky Mt. Olive is about purchasing their cucumbers. I am a farmer, as my dad and grandfather, and worked for my dad running the work station sorting cucumbers that were contracted for sale to Mt. Olive in the mid nineties!

From "Uptown Blog", by Audrey on July 18, 2012 in Specialty, Uptown Blog
1. Can you tell us a little bit about your art? How did you get started?
I started painting in 1998 after the unexpected death of my father. I used my art as a means of healing and never intended it to blossom into a career. At the encouragement of friends I started to show and sell some of my pieces. I thought–if I could make a career out of doing something I love I would have to give my all and make it happen.
Although I have a number of art styles, my primary art style is known as Escapism. Generally, it combines confident, vibrant abstract brushstrokes with a few elements of realism: an arrow, a cloud, a numeral or a checkerboard grid. Just as the healing process is not easy, neither is the true appreciation of abstract art. The touch of realism assists the viewer to become comfortable with the world of the abstract.
2. What is/are your favorite medium(s)?
My primary medium is acrylic on canvas or wood. However, I love to work with a great deal of additional media, including salvage wood, neon, enamel, graphite and collage.
3. What are a few of your favorite pieces?
The most exclusive body of work and one that I'm most proud of is the Satori series. You can read and see a video about it by following this link: http://www.johnpalmerart.com/satori.php
4. The goal of your mentorship program is to destroy the stereotype of the struggling artist… How did you overcome the obstacles you faced when you were starting out? Also, how do up and coming artists apply for John Ross Palmer's Mentorship Program?
For me personally, I learned that I had to trust my own instincts about art and business. So many people would tell me: I'm creating too much, I'm overexposed, I need a Masters degree, I need to be in the "right" galleries. None of this is true. I now create art as a full-time business. I must create to make ends meet–it is not a hobby. I'm not apologetic about wanting to earn money and be a success, just like any other professional. Read more here: http://www.EscapistProgram.com.
5. Finally, from where do you draw your inspiration?
I love to travel and I gain a tremendous amount of inspiration from visiting new places and interacting with new cultures. I have beautiful memories from my childhood from riding horses–they often appear in my artwork. Nature is a huge inspiration, and so is light.

Congrats on the gold again... your masterpiece very amazes.
This is so very good, I am chuckling and amazed.
Congratulations again and again and again...etc.
Lol geri comment. Thank you all again and again and again. I had serious fun with this one, cheers.
Really well put together funky. Did you boost the saturation at the last minute.
Ty jeremix, When I finish an image, (flatten the layers & reduce it in size for submission) I usually always tweat the saturation, colors and contrast levels one last time. why do you ask.
just because i thought it was unusually soft colored for a funkwood, untill i looked at it just now and thought...hay, the saturation is up.. I was wandering if i saw it correctly.
jere, they are fairly soft colors compared to some of my chops, but the foreground colors pop because I subdued, desaturated and blurred the background wall quite a bit. It's a great effect I've been toying with lately...
ah, I see. Maybe i will remember that when i make the next chop and finally beat yoass.

Europe Low cost Airfares
If you wish to guide low-cost hotels in Honolulu, don't worry. Discover the correct hotel on your trip using our star scores, traveller opinions, location maps and competitive room charges. Very interesting hyperlinks in with my University analysis on low value carriers.I am still within the strategy of amassing data anyone all in favour of collaborating in my on-line questionnaire please copy this link.
There's additionally this site: I saved 15 bucks off the single day hopper (no black out dates) and they ship the tickets to your property without spending a dime. Air ticket prices roughly US$one thousand. Again, typically the theme parks will provide reductions to those who buy tickets on-line.
CJS – Thanks for stopping by. Free flights was a real perk earlier than the times of cheaper air journey. Whether or not it's for home or worldwide flights, tens of millions of travellers depend on us for trusted recommendation and the best collection of low cost flights and journey deals in Australia.
Keep in mind that it can save you money if you happen to choose return flights compared to one-way. There aren't any known nonstop flights from regional airports from Britain and Eire. For about …

Gas is $3.65/gallon around many parts of the metro, and even higher in other parts of the country. As a result people are starting to combine trips, rethink purchasing that Hummer, and are generally looking for ways to cut their consumption - which is great.
At the same time politicians in DC are doing what they do best which is pretending as if they care about reducing our dependence on foreign oil. $3.59 sounds like a lot, but in reality it is still not high enough to cover the costs of maintaining our beloved road system. State DOTs, across the country, are going bankrupt and the feds are going to be hitting the red very soon.
The rise in prices is simply going to the foreign nations that are providing us the drug that fuels our addiction. At the same time our infrastructure is literally crumbling and we seem to have no backup strategy as to how to deal with modest gas prices (when compared to other developed nations at least).
So what's an average citizen to do with these soaring gas prices and miserable economy? The answer is not pawning off your gold to pay for more gas. I would suggest moving closer to where you work, riding Metro (if possible), or carpool. These are all obvious solutions, but it seems that the location one gets overlooked quite a bit and is the one that can/will make the biggest impact.
Given that most people in this region work either Downtown or Uptown, I would suggest moving into the City of Cincinnati. Crime has been dramatically reduced over the past few years, Cincinnati Public Schools are poised to be ranked as 'Effective' (comparable to most suburban school districts), and there are numerous tax abatements available to avoid property taxes entirely in some cases up to 20 years...and you could save a lot money on your commuting costs.

The more people who move to the city the less crime there will be. More eyes on the street as it were.
How about all the people on the news complaining about gas prices? Do they think there is actually someone who can make a decision and lower the price?
We're going to see $7 a gallon prices here in the next three years I bet.

Here's a fun game for everyone.
How high will gas have to be per gallon for people to start fleeing the suberbs and returning to the city?
How high for a total reversal of the suberban sprawl we have seen for the last 30 years? I think we'll hit that magic number sooner then most think.

Great post! I couldn't agree more. I'd like to think that there are more and more people thinking like this now. This is a big part of the reason my wife and I are moving to OTR. We're hoping to get rid of one of our cars. I plan on using a bicycle and the buses to get to and from my uptown job. Once the streetcars are built we'll be able to get rid of both of our cars.
- April 29, 2008 at 9:15 AM
As a streetcar supporter, I love seeing gas prices rise. This might just encourage the nay-sayers to begin to see the value in public transportation. Maybe.

I agree with everything said here for the most part. If this trend continues, it should reverse the trend of suburban sprawl. I just feel bad for people living in rural areas. One of my uncles owns a farm out in the middle of nowhere. He can't even get reliable delivery of newspapers, it's so remote. So he has to drive into town if he wants a paper, a trip which now costs him $3, not including the paper itself. As he isn't computer savvy, reading online isn't an option. As someone who loves the city, I'm excited for what this means for the future of urban areas. I'm just going to feel bad for people who live in truly rural areas if gas goes up to $7 or $10 a gallon.

Excellent post!
I read recently that a study showed gas would have to hit $5 and stay there for a few months before the majority of Americans feel compelled to change their ways. Best way to change people's minds in the meantime?
Peer pressure.
It will come as no surprise that most people will do something if someone else they know is doing it. Heck, that's why I joined Jazzercise back in the day. ;)
Tell your friends, talk to your neighbor, start a friendly conversation with the guy in the Rover in your parking garage about gas prices. Maybe that will help the change start rolling.

On the news last night, they interviewed people at gas stations about the idea of cutting fuel taxes. The only person who said he would rather pay the taxes and keep the roads (and his car) in good shape was a swarthy, accented foreign devil.
I couldn't get over the sense of entitlement the "True Blue Americans" had.
They seemed clueless as to how things get paid for and how U.S. inflationary monetary policy has a more significant role in rising fuel prices than taxes.
You are absolutely right about the location thing but it has a big snag. People change jobs so often, nowadays, that keeping a home close to your job can be almost like a game of cat and mouse. Add kids in school and it gets even more problematic.

Quim; The best is to locat near lots of thing you do, not just near your work. I currently must commute, but there are lots of potential new jobs for me nearby.
Also regarding schools: one advantage of the magnet school program at CPS is that no matter where you live in the city, you children can continue at the same school. In fact, you could move out of the city and continue, but then you would have to pay tuition.

IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling
The CT3 wiki is starting to grow organically. A few days ago, an excellent article "IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling" appeared out of the blue sky. Michael Aschwanden did a great job describing the IPv6 tunneling mechanisms and various free public services. He also included sample router configurations used to connect to the public tunneling services.

For IPv6 over IPv4 does Cisco currently recommend ISATAP or 6to4?ReplyDelete
Odom says ISATAP but other sources say 6to4
Thanks, MH
- Ivan Pepelnjak02 September, 2011 08:54
6rd would be my guess. It's better (and more controllable) than 6to4.ReplyDelete
- Ole Troan02 September, 2011 12:41
Short answer is it depends; but definitely _not_ 6to4.ReplyDelete
6rd for tunneling across the access network. 6PE for tunneling over an MPLS enabled SP core.
ISATAP can be made to work, assuming you have hosts supporting it, but it would be far from something I would recommend. The bottom three would be ISATAP, Teredo and 6to4 in that order.
Native if you can tunnel if you must.
Constructive courteous comments are most welcome. Anonymous trolling will be removed with prejudice.

Schwinn Discover Men's Hybrid Bike Review
The Schwinn Discover Men's Hybrid Bike is an absolutely comfortable and well-outfitted commuter bike. While it may not have the spunk of our flashier Takara line of bikes, it's certain to leave you satisfied with its focus on practicality.
Overall solid design
Don't let its modest appearance fool you. This powerful bike is outfitted with an aluminum frame, ample for city riding. And while it isn't steel, the aluminum construction is sufficient for your average trek about the city. So long as you're not constantly diving off of high curbs or putting stress on the frame, there's no concern for structural integrity. This all sits on an SR Suntour suspension fork for easy navigation in the city or on a trail. Expect that they will absorb some of the impacts and take the stress off of the frame.
The caveat to having such a solid frame is the bike's overall weight. This tops out at about 46 pounds without any gear attached. That's one heavy bike. This goes back to the aluminum frame. While you may expect an aluminum object to be lighter than steel, it actually needs to be thicker because of its weak integrity. This thickness adds to the overall weight and rigidity of the bike.
Grip style shifters
On the riser handlebar you'll find easy-to-use grip shifters connected to a Shimano gear set for 21 speeds. The grip shift allows for easy control without removing your hands or fingers from the safety of the handlebar. Simply twist your wrist forward or backward to traverse through gears.
There are a few notable experiences where the chain would skip under high stress. This mostly occurred at the initial ascent of a hill. While this isn't a safety hazard, it can become quite annoying if you need to excel out of a high into low gear. It would pay to have the derailleur inspected by a bike mechanic if you've experienced this issue.
This bike sports Promax alloy linear pull brakes, but be sure to have them looked at if you're planning to take this bike off-road. While it will handle the abuse of dips and bumps, the added stress of mountain riding can take its toll on the pads. Visually inspect the pads and test out the stopping ability on a few curbs.
Function over fashion
Its frame is built to fit larger riders. If you're under 5ft 9in, you may want to move along to a smaller frame. One great benefit of this particular bike is the rear wheel rack and fenders. This is particularly beneficial if you're hauling boxes or find yourself in wet terrain. This commuter bike doesn't have the pizzazz of a sleeker road-style bike, but its functionality makes up for it.
- Rear wheel rack and fenders
- Men's comfort bike with aluminum city frame
- SR Suntour suspension fork; SR Suntour alloy crank
- 21-speed SRAM grip shifters; Shimano rear derailleur
- Promax alloy linear pull brakes; rear gear carrier
- Swept-back upright handlebar and padded saddle
We've had a Schwinn World Sport touring bike since the late 80's—which is still going strong—and are familiar with their level of quality. While it has its quirks with the derailleur and brakes, they aren't deal breakers. Again, this is an entry-level bicycle at a very affordable price. Not every bike is subject to these issues and Schwinn offers a Lifetime Warranty to soothe any doubt. Exercise due diligence and inspect and test your bike before taking it on a long ride.
It's heavy and only comes in black, but the amenities make up for these few shortcomings. If you find yourself hauling a small amount of gear on the daily and are looking to save a few pennies while you're at it, then we recommend this contender for your commuter bike.

Where they've come from
SINCE 1834. What makes a young perfumer leave his country with his young family to set out on his own in London? What makes him create the first non-toxic mascara then sell it so all could afford it, rather than cash in on a luxury for the few? A hunger to find new boundaries and a need to re-invent himself. When Eugene Rimmel and his father set up the House of Rimmel in 1834 beauty was a different game. Perfumes were called vinegar, mascara was made with mercury and marketing meant a stand at a fair. By the time Eugene died in 1890 Rimmel was the dictionary definition of mascara across the world, he had pioneered hygiene products and cosmetics and turned beauty into art. It is this constant need to push boundaries that fuelled the brand for the next one hundred years, that kept us innovating to re-shape convention, create new looks, to give you tools to explore new versions of your look.
Where they're going
"LIVE IT LONDON. We've been in the business of self-expression since 1834. London became our playground. A perfect match. London makes its own rules. Its own colours. It gets down and dirty. But does it with a wink and a smile." Founded in London, Rimmel's always been inspired by this trend-setting city and its unique street style. The witty, edgy style synonymous with the city is not only the driving-force behind the brand's beauty styles. Rimmel loves experimentation and having fun, which their high-quality products enable women to do. Known for their revolutionary mascaras (which were some of the brand's first makeup products), the word "Rimmel" today means "mascara" in many languages!

1851 Black Map of Colombia and PeruColombiaPeru-black-1851
1851 Black Map of Colombia and PeruColombiaPeru-black-1851
1851 (undated) 16 x 12 in (40.64 x 30.48 cm)
Throughout, the map identifies various cities, towns, rivers, mountain passes and an assortment of additional topographical details. Map is hand colored in pink, green, blue and yellow pastels to define boundaries. The map is engraved by S. Hall and issued as plate no. LII in the 1851 edition of Black's General Atlas.
Charles and Adam Black (fl. 1807 - present) were map and book publishers based in Edinburgh. Charles and his uncle, Adam, both of Edinburgh, Scotland, founded their publishing firm in 1807. They published a series of maps and atlases throughout the 19th century. In addition to an array of atlases, the Black firm is known for their editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica (1817 - 1826) and the first publishing of Sir Walter Scott's novels in 1854. In 1889 the A. & C. Black publishing house moved to London where it remains in operation to this day.
Sidney Hall (1788 - 1831) was an English engraver and map publisher active in London during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His earliest imprints, dating to about 1814, suggest a partnership with Michael Thomson, another prominent English map engraver. Hall engraved for most of the prominent London map publishers of his day, including Aaron Arrowsmith, William Faden, William Harwood, and John Thomson, among others. Hall is credited as being one of the earliest adopters of steel plate engraving, a technique that allowed for finer detail and larger print runs due to the exceptional hardness of the medium. Upon his early death - he was only in his 40s - Hall's business was inherited by his wife, Selina Hall, who continued to publish under the imprint, "S. Hall", presumably for continuity. The business eventually passed to Sidney and Selina's nephew Edward Weller, who became extremely prominent in his own right.

Hello, my angels! Today I want to talk to you about my latest love. It is a Landbis Waterproof Eyeliner Pen* which were sent to me for a test drive by Born Pretty Store. Eyeliner is my favorite thing in the eye makeup, I use it in most of my tutorials and on the daily basis as well. I think it is the best way to compliment any eye shape and eye color. And we all know how important is the quality of the eyeliner, because when the quality of the product is poor it doesn't last long and it looks not pigmented on the skin.
Landbis Waterproof Eyeliner comes in a shape of regular pen, which is the perfect packaging for the beginners, because it is super simple in usage. The top of the cover is decorated with a cute kitten's snout and ears. I wish all makeup products looked like this. As it says on the packaging eyeliner has an ultra - refined brush (0.1 mm), which allows to fill the space between the lashes and also to create a different shape for your wing.
And now about the formula of the product. I was king impressed when I first tried Landbis eyeliner on my hand. It is truly very pigmented eyeliner with a deep intense black color. I also tested if it is waterproof by putting my hand under running water. If not to rub the area, everything will stay on it's place!
Overall, I like this eyeliner very much - cute design, waterproof formula, and intense pigmentation, what more we wait from a good product? Landbis Waterproof Eyeliner retails for $4.32 and you can buy it online from Born Pretty Store. They have a FREE WORLDWIDE shipping, it is a heaven for all fans of Asian beauty product as I'm.
But I have more good news for you. Born Pretty Store provides a discount coupon code for all my angels. By entering LIZH10 you will receive a 10 % discount on any Brush Set from this page. There's a great discount on lipsticks on BPS now, $1.79 on the 4 lipsticks or lip pencils, here is the link so you can check them out! Thanks to stay with me angels, I'll see you very soon again!
Lots of love,

After the release of her album La Saboteuse (Naïm Records) in May, the young trumpeter, promising talent of British jazz, joined Anteprima.
A Bahraini-British performer,Yazz Ahmed, is giving a new meaning to nowadays jazz. This trumpet and flugelhorn player has worked with Radiohead and These New Puritans, experiments with electronic effects, and shapes her own musical universe from that legacy. Part of the new wave of artists who are eager to break the old codes of jazz, such as Kamasi Washington, Yussef Kamaal, Christian Scott, Yazz Ahmed is thrilled by the possibilities of making something new. "I feel like I'm a part of modernising jazz and connecting it with audiences today," Yazz says. "It's exciting."
Her new album 'La Saboteuse' is a deep exploration of both her British and Bahraini roots. Ably assisted by musicians including Lewis Wright on vibraphone, MOBO-winning new jazz kingpin Shabaka Hutchings on bass clarinet and Naadia Sherriff on Fender Rhodes keyboard, it's composed of undulating rhythms, Middle Eastern melody and Yazz's sonorous trumpet lines. The record sounds like the passage of a desert caravan, bathed in moonlight. The theme of 'La Saboteuse' is the sense of self-doubt that Yazz feels when she is creating, personified in a female saboteur, an anti-muse that spurs her into action. "Giving 'her' a name has really helped me to identify those negative voices we all get," she says. "I know what it is and I know how to combat it."
'La Saboteuse' was released in four chapters incrementally, unravelling the story. Each chapter has its own cover, with beautiful illustrations by Bristol artist Sophie Bass. "I feel really touched, nobody's created art from my music before, it's really special," Yazz says.
Yazz spent her early childhood in Bahrain, her father's homeland, before moving to London with her English mother at the age of nine. There, she became fascinated by her grandfather's trumpet playing, and vowed to learn the instrument herself. "My grandfather, my mum's dad, was a trumpet player, and I was quite taken by him, inspired. I wanted to learn the trumpet at school." Jazz became her chosen form of expression, because "I loved the spirit of the music, the freedom. There's a lot of joy, mystery. I connected with it". Yazz's sound is unique. Her take on jazz weaves in Arabic melodies to evocative, cinematic effect. "I love the sounds of Arabic music. The traditional folk singing is so heartfelt, elemental and passionate. I absorbed it as a child, but only in the past few years has it come to the surface in my playing and writing. I want to embrace my culture and my British jazz heritage, the music my grandfather played to me."
Jazz has traditionally been a male-dominated sphere. But Yazz is challenging that notion, helped by a new wave of women musicians. "There are more female jazz musicians and attitudes are changing," she says. "People see that women can play just as well as the men. But there are still areas that haven't caught up with the rest of society. It's getting better, but we can do more."
Future-facing and fascinating, Yazz Ahmed is part of a glimmering new constellation in the jazz firmament. And her next project is destined to take her further into the stars. "I'm planning to write a piece inspired by the ever-changing structures of the universe," she concludes.

Blankets of black flies spawned by a nearby industrial hog farm's uncovered cesspools can be so thick, Elvis Williams told jurors Tuesday, he built a screened front porch for his mobile home so that he could continue grilling dinners as he's loved doing for decades.
The 60-year-old former textile worker testified in one of numerous federal lawsuits that have rattled agribusiness in the country's No. 2 hog-growing state. Farm interests have turned to state legislators to erect new protections for the politically influential pork industry.
Of about two dozen lawsuits filed years ago by more than 500 eastern North Carolina neighbors against Virginia-based Smithfield Foods, Williams' is the second to reach jurors.
The lawsuits contend that Smithfield, which dictates the conditions under which farmers must raise its hogs, has resisted changing its concentrated animal husbandry methods because they cost less than less-smelly methods the company already uses in other states.
Smithfield Foods is owned by Hong Kong-headquartered WH Group, which generated $22 billion in revenues last year.
Four blocks away from the federal courthouse where Williams testified, a state House committee on Tuesday approved legislation sharply limiting neighbors from punishing farm operations for causing severe nuisances. The proposed law would all but block other neighbors from suing industrial-scale livestock operations in the future.
Lawmakers said their action was spurred by the $51 million in penalties a jury in the first trial ordered Smithfield Foods to pay to neighbors who spent decades tolerating horrible smells and other nuisances. The fine was cut to about $3 million because North Carolina law limits punitive damages meant to punish misdeeds. Smithfield, its related lobbying groups and rural advocates described the jury's decision as a threat to agribusiness in North Carolina.
Landowners in the state's eastern farm belt turned to raising hogs or turkeys after the decline of previously profitable tobacco farms. The lawsuits now place those enterprises in doubt, said Joseph Scott, mayor of Mount Olive, a town of 3,600 people located in the three-county region that makes up the United States' heaviest concentration of industrialized hog lots.
"We are talking about the livelihoods of men and women," said Scott, whose town has one-third of its residents living in poverty. "We have nowhere to go."
Williams and other neighbors say they don't want to put livestock operations out of business, but they shouldn't have to put up with the nuisances. They say Smithfield could and should eliminate those nuisances, even if it costs them more to do so.
Williams said he bought the land for his home nearly 30 years ago, when the nearby landowner already raised hogs but before it expanded to its current size of up to 4,700 animals.
The worst thing about the operation, he said, is the speeding trucks that slam on their air brakes at 5 a.m. as they arrive to empty a steel container containing hogs that died in their pens the day before. Then it's the boom of steel on steel as the crate slams against the truck's hopper, followed by another boom when the empty container hits the ground again, Williams said.
"It's very annoying. I can't go back to sleep."

"… The Pharisees and legal experts asked Jesus, 'Why are your disciples not living according to the rules handed down by the elders but instead eat food with ritually unclean hands?'" - Mark 7:5
Scripture sets so many traps. In Mark's gospel the Pharisees and legal experts wandered into one. They saw the disciples skipping an important ritual. "Why don't your followers obey the rules?" they asked. (Mark added, parenthetically, that the questioners do obey that rule, so maybe they felt justified in judging.) Jesus replied with a gnarly truth: even a scripture commandment can lead you astray, if you zoom in on the letter and distort the spirit of the law.
There's another good trap in there – the one that catches us when we read that passage and pass judgment on the Pharisees. Whoops. That is much like zooming in on the letter but distorting the spirit of the story.
In the Peace Corps, a friend gave a presentation on the dangers of fly-borne diseases. She made beautiful visual aids — including an extraordinarily life-like drawing of a fly, about 12" high so it could be seen by all. After the demonstration, a local resident came up shaking her head in concern. "We are so lucky here: our flies are tiny little things. Thank God we don't have huge ones like you do."
She taught us a Jesus-like lesson in perspective. Sometimes you need to zoom in to see detail. It's good to have rediscover our own inner Pharisees, and appreciate them. But the law of love is expansive: we're not done until we zoom back out to see how everyone belongs in God's realm.
Dear God, we know you are in the details. But forgive me when I over-focus, and show us once more the big story of grace where there's space for Pharisees and even me. Amen.
John A. Nelson is Pastor and Teacher of Church on the Hill, UCC, in Lenox, Massachusetts.

Paul MacCartney lo hizo de nuevo!
La canción es "Here today".
And if I say I really knew you well,
What would your answer be?
If you were here today.
Uh, uh, uh, here today.
Well, knowing you,
You'd probably laugh and say
That we were worlds apart.
If you were here today.
Uh, uh, uh, here today.
But as for me,
I still remember how it was before
And I am holding back the tears no more.
Uh, uh, uh,
I love you, uh.
What about the time we met? (what about the time?)
Well, I suppose that you could say
That we were playing hard to get.
Didn't understand a thing,
But we could always sing.
What about the night we cried? (what about the night)
Because there wasn't any reason
Left to keep it all inside.
Never understood a word,
But you were always there with a smile.
And if I say I really loved you
And was glad you came along.
Then you were here today,
Uh, uh, uh, for you were in my song.
Uh, uh, uh, here today.
