An Open Letter to McNair and Future McNair Scholars
An "unofficial" McNair Scholar's road to tenure-track faculty
I consider myself a Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Scholar, but I went through the program in a "non-traditional" route—let me share.
My junior year of college, I changed my career path. I decided I no longer wanted to go to medical school; I wanted to become a college administrator removing barriers for underrepresented populations. The next semester, the dean of institutional diversity from Minnesota State University, Mankato (MSU), attended Shaw University's graduate school fair. I didn't need the GRE at that time because I had over a 3.0 GPA and to my recollection they didn't require a personal statement. If they did, that lets you know I didn't write anything too memorable; it also highlights me navigating my way through the graduate school process all on my own. I was accepted about a month later, and my best friend and I went to MSU.
I was in my second semester of a master's degree in educational leadership at MSU and I developed my own practicum, which included me shadowing the provost and vice president for academic and student affairs for a semester. This relationship eventually extended well beyond a semester as he became a mentor, which he remains to this day. During one of my shadowing experiences, we attended a birthday celebration for the director of research and sponsored programs. The director and I had the chance to speak briefly and I told her where I was from, my current GPA, and my immediate plans of going home and teaching high school chemistry before I applied to Ph.D. program in a few years. She replied, "come to my office on Monday."
I went to her office that Monday and when I walked out, I was prepared to apply to Ph.D. programs within a month. That preparation includes letters of recommendation from faculty in your field or lateral fields, a customized personal statement for each institution, GRE scores, money for the applications if the fee is not waived, a curriculum vitae or resume, and all academic transcripts. She also coached me through GRE verbal for the month; as a former chemistry major, I felt confident in the quantitative section. I received a score of 1060 (370 on the verbal—never self-select out) and was admitted into the PhD program in higher education at the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities. The same year, I was awarded MSU's Pre-Doctoral Fellowship.
What a sudden change in future plans, right? I went from planning to be a high school chemistry teacher to PhD student and full-time instructor of educational leadership teaching master's courses. It just so happens the director of research and sponsored programs was a former director of McNair and saw that I needed guidance.
Three years later, I was offered the position of Graduate Recruitment and Retention Specialist in the David T. Kearns Center. I was responsible for recruiting underrepresented minority, first-generation, and low-income college students or McNair-eligible populations for our graduate programs. Since the position was housed in the Kearns Center, I learned so much more about what I didn't really understand when applying for my master's and doctorate programs. I also learned a great deal about becoming a tenure-track faculty member. I learned this through recruiting and advising McNair Scholars, participating in the "Culture of the Academy" course, working closely with Dr. Beth Olivares and Dr. Valeria Sinclair-Chapman, and by having the opportunity to hear Don Asher speak and attend GEM GRAD Labs. During this time I was also doing my dissertation on the side and starting to enjoy research.
When I finished my degree in higher education administration on February 8, 2012 by defending my dissertation, I was fully prepared for my role as assistant professor of higher education at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI. Not solely because of my educational preparation, but because of my involvement with the Ronald E. McNair Program and its advocates. I chose an institution that "fit and matched" who I was; make sure you do the same for your graduate programs. My first semester was one of transitions, but transitions I've truly enjoyed; any big move presents transitions. I went from Rochester, NY to Portsmouth, VA to Grand Rapids, MI within two months! However, I was well equipped to articulate and initiate my research agenda, serve my students with a commitment to excellent teaching, and serve the University and broader community.
Many people comment on how relaxed I am in my new home. I owe a good amount of that to exposure to McNair and its champions like Michelle Carter, JD (the former McNair director I met in 2007). I was prepared to teach several new courses; I was prepared to conduct research and report my findings in peer-reviewed journals; I was prepared to advise student groups, participate on committees, and direct programs for "non-traditional" students. McNair helped prepared me. Your experience will be different but it will not be because of exposure. Kearns will give much—if not all—of what you need.
I wanted to share my experience with McNair Scholars and future McNair Scholars as an African American who was a low income, first-generation college student and is now a tenure-track faculty member through kairos moments, fate, karma, or however you would classify it through your "ways of knowing." Because you are a student in the Kearns Center, you have access to resources to launch your ideal trajectory. Take in all you can from the Kearns Center staff, services, and programs. I earned a Ph.D. at the age of 27 and the Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Program has played an important role in my life although I am not listed on the historic scroll of McNair Scholars. That's why I consider myself an "unofficial" McNair Scholar. I look forward to welcoming you into the academy of scholars soon.

DescriptionThe Park Valley Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is located in Box Elder County about two and one-half miles northwest from Park Valley, Utah. This CWMU has little relief. The most common elevation is 5000 feet, but ranges from 4800 feet to 5200 feet, a difference of just 400 feet. Sixty-five percent (65%) of the unit ranges between 5000 feet and 5200 feet, a 200 foot difference.
Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48), Inter-Mountain Basins Greasewood Flat (82), and Agriculture (114) are the dominant land cover types on the Park Valley CWMU. These three cover types make up over fifty percent (50%) of the unit. There are two location where entire sections are agriculture land cover. Besides these three land cover types, Inter-Mountain Basins Semi-Desert Grassland (76), Inter-Mountain Basins Mixed Salt Desert Scrub (58), and Invasive Annual Grassland (121) contribute to nintey-three percent (93%) of the unit.
One of the Park Valley Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, PARK VALLEY (427408), is about 2.8 km northwest from the northwest edge of the CWMU. PARK VALLEY has seventy-nine (79) years of records, 1911 - 1990. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average percipitation is 2.45 inches, but it can be as high as 6.38 inches or as low as 0.62 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 13 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of percipitation, 7 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 1 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of percipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 5.8 inches but can be as high as 22.5 inches. FALL temperature at PARK VALLEY averages 48.4 degrees F. but can be as high as 93.0 degrees F. or as low as 0.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 36 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and no days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

What makes a family work? Is it authority—a firm-ruling father who keeps the peace? Activity—weekly date nights and regular family outings? Availability—members who make time for one another? According to Scripture, a key ingredient for a successful family is submission. Society scoffs at the very mention of the word, but God places submission at the top of His list for a unified family.
When our culture brings up the topic of submission, it's usually to mock or malign it. After all, we live in an age where prideful self-assertion and ambition are major hallmarks of personal success. Sadly, that same attitude is brought home to the family, with disastrous results. Mutual submission may sound like a strange success formula to the world, but God's ways are higher than our ways—and always better.

Fathers are head of the house. If a father dies, then it's pass to
the oldest son. The oldest would teach the younger and respect the mother. It's not like it anymore in someways. The world would let
women be the head of the house which might weaken the family and the
world wants the father to be under her law.
If it's a strong godly woman whom lost her husband or he left her, families may be strong if oldest son takes charge. But what if a
mother only has a daughter or a oldest daughter and a younger son,
what can she do? God can be in charge of family in any situation.
God bless.

Hello Dan Wilson:
Not to start a firestorm of controversy, here, but could you please back up your statement (Biblically, of course) that the oldest son is to take the head role in the family while the Mother is still living and the Father is deceased?
I can find nowhere in Scripture that this is supported. I could be missing something though. It would not be a first. :)
This whole topic of the First Family is an amazing topic. I hope more people contribute. Great comments, Dr. MacArthur.

I am curious also what happens if a father only has daughters? Or what happens when the eldest son hates the family because he is a rabid unbelieving Christ hater?
Jesus stated that he would bring a sword to divide fathers from sons, mothers from daughters, Matthew 10:34-36.
Certainly it would be ideal if an older son was to take up the role of helping support his family if his father happened to die unexpectedly, and there was OT regulations for the oldest brother to take as his wife his older brother's wife if he were to die, but I am not sure if we can make such a strong case for this model as the operating principle for the NT church. Seems like to me the church a whole would step up to help in cases like this rather than it expected to go to one older son.
This is interesting, isn't it Fred? I just had a friend email me this from refbible.com.
"The firstborn became head of the family and thus succeeded to the charge of the family property, becoming responsible for the maintenance of the younger sons, the widow or widows, and the unmarried daughters. He also, as head, succeeded to a considerable amount of authority over the other members. Further, he generally received the blessing, which placed him in close and favored covenant-relationship with Yahweh"
Now, whether this means the oldest son usurps the authority of the other parent, in this case the Mother, I am not sure. I know there are passages where children are told to obey their parents, as in both of them, and their instruction. I will have to look them up.
Also, as you mentioned above about a rabid Christ hater taking control; I would hate to think of a drug induced, irresponsible son, who has no idea of what it takes to be a responsible teen let alone a parent, take control. There is something to be said for the wisdom of the aged and the experienced. In many ways you do not learn what it is to sacrafice until you become a parent.
The reference Bible you link is geared more toward a family in a theocratic society, which Israel certainly was during the time of the OT. Such a society is no longer existent, at least currently, and the closer parallel would be the NT church. We do have NT instruction about taken care of widows and other individuals who would find themselves in these kind of situation, and the OT birthright laws don't apply as far as I can tell.
I was thinking of something else like during WW1 or WW2. Smiles. I guess God would be in charge.
what if the husband isn't trying to be the head of the house, does this make the house have conflict? and if it does how do i resolve this?
Good question. In an upcoming post we'll treat wives submitting to their own husbands (Eph. 5). But for now, 1 Peter 3:1–6 speaks to the issue you raise. Verse 1 says, "In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives."
Here are John MacArthur's thoughts on that verse and the passage in general. It addresses your question head on. Enjoy:
I'm glad Peter said this, because inevitably someone will say, "You don't know my husband. If I submit to him it's going to be awful. He's not a Christian, and he doesn't obey God or His Word. How in the world am I going to submit to this man?" That verse was written to answer that kind of response. Even if the husband doesn't obey the Word, the wife is to submit. And by her life the husband may be won. Wives, instead of writing "Repent" on the bottom of his beer cans, or pasting little notes in his lunch pail, or giving him another gospel presentation, set your life in response to God's ordained pattern for marriage. You may, without even using the Word of God, win him by your behavior.
Verse 2—You may ask, "What kind of behavior will win my husband?" Peter answers, "Chaste conduct coupled with fear [reverence]." Wives should revere their husbands, manifesting a certain awe and respect. In other words, not only is her life chaste (pure behavior, conduct, and living), but there is also a reverence or an awe that looks up to him and respects him.
Verse 3—If a wife is concerned with her husband—if she is in awe of him and if her conduct is chaste—her husband will not only be won by her attitude but also by its manifestation. Peter says in verse 3 that her adorning will not be the "outward adorning of plaiting the hair [the weaving of gold and silver bands], and of wearing of gold or of putting on of apparel." In other words, if she preoccupies herself with such external adornment, she is in violation of the standard. Why? Because someone who is submissive doesn't call attention to herself.
Verse 4—Instead of being preoccupied with external adornment, verse 4 says, the woman should be concerned with "the hidden man of the heart," or "the secret of the heart" (the word man isn't in the Greek text). In other words, don't work on the outside; work on the inside. Instead of focusing on that which is corruptible (apparel, gold, braided hair), concentrate on developing "a meek and quiet spirit." The word meek (Gk., praus) means "quiet and gentle." The word quiet simply means "silent and still."
There are women today who are boisterous and loud, demanding their rights, parading and marching, and proclaiming the injustices done to them. That isn't God's standard. The Bible tells women instead to cultivate a meek, quiet, gentle, still, peaceful, silent spirit. Now that doesn't mean wives are to never offer their opinion. It means they are to understand that God expects them to be humble and still. That is the beauty and strength of a woman.
Note that all this is "in the sight of God." The Greek word enopion means "face-to-face with." As you're standing face-to-face with God, He doesn't care what your hair looks like or how much gold you're wearing or if you have on the latest fashion; He's looking for a meek and quiet spirit. In His sight, a meek and quiet spirit is "of great price" (Gk., poluteles). Poluteles is the same word used in Mark 14:3, when the woman opened the alabaster box and took out the precious ointment. A meek and quiet spirit is precious and valuable to God.
Verse 5—"For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands." That has always been the standard. Holy women focused on the inside. Why? Because they trusted God. They adorned themselves with a meek and quiet spirit in submission to their husbands.
Verse 6—Peter gives an illustration of one such woman: "Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord [a term of respect, awe, and reverence]; whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any terror." As Abraham is the father of the faithful (Gal. 3:7), Sarah is the mother of the submissive. Daughters of Sarah are those who call their husbands lord, are submissive to him, and "are not afraid with any terror."
I hear women say, "I'm afraid to submit to my husband, because if I do, I'll lose my rights. He'll run me down." But those holy women mentioned in 1 Peter 3:5 trusted God and had no fear of obeying Him. They knew that if there ever was an abuse, God would take care of the results. If you obey God and submit to your husband with a meek and quiet spirit, respond the way God wants you to respond, and don't have any fear in doing that, you can believe that God will honor your commitment—no matter what.
I lost a friend two days ago, Jerry to cancer. He has left two children under 12 yrs old with his wife, that why I said something
in post #1.
God bless
I'm truly sorry to hear about your friend's passing. I will lift up his family in prayer. May they turn to Christ for grace and strength during this trial.
Great Stuff Folks:
But hard stuff as well, women are taught to be aggressive and take the headship in the family, modern day womens movements generally advocate lesbianism and women bearing children outside of a hetero marriage. Or single parent families. Gay rights activist work aggressively to win members to their cause so that there is an increase in homosexual behaviors. It is due to the "god of this world" warring against heaven. his motives are clear, his minions are organized to do his bidding. And they are blinded to the consequences of their actions. When the world system takes over in a flood of self-centered desire, all hell will break loose. Our job is to resist the urges of this world system. John is right, following the Biblical prescription for the family is the only way we should go. Submission to one another via the authority structure which God has given is really the only one that makes sense. It is non-competitive, non-aggressive, and is outward looking from one's center. This is the form of love that the world needs. (Just thinking)
I think Christy brings up a great point especially for the men. I believe that if we were to actually live the self-sacrificing life described in Ephesians 5:21-25 our wives would have no problem at all submitting to us. But, as the article points out, we bring home the prideful self-asserting attitude of the world and then can't understand why our wives are reluctant to be submissive. I'm not saying that that is an excuse for the wife to not submit, but along with the headship in the family also comes the responsibility of the husband to do his part based on the biblical instruction given to him.
Thanks, Tom
Jerry lived a wild life up to a month ago. When he found out about
the colon cancer, he repented and came back to Jesus then he came
back a month ago with his family, then he died peacefully last Sat.
He was only 43.
I believe that Tommy, had the best of intentions when he posted his reply, but I think that the way he worded a woman's role to be in complete submission to her husband is dangerous.
Would you mind explaining what you mean? Tommy was quoting John MacArthur, so I'm not sure which portion of his comment you believe to be dangerous.
My reply was actually an excerpt from a book John MacArthur wrote titled, The Fulfilled Family. I made certain to credit John with the material, even though I am in complete agreement with everything he wrote in that section.
Also, I can't find where the phrase "complete submission" was employed in that response, even though God's Word never charges women—or men for that matter—to half-heartedly or partially obey His commands to submit. For example, in Ephesians 5:21, where Paul calls believers to "submit ourselves to one another in the fear of Christ," Do you think he meant to completely do that, or only partially? I think you may be confusing the concept of "submission" with "obedience." If that's the case, I understand your concern and I think an upcoming post will help settle that issue. But for the sake of clarity, in what specific ways do you find a wife submitting to her husband to be "dangerous"?
Were you able to listen to the sermon excerpt featured in this post? I think that would help as well.
Thanks Eileen.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the comments so far, I've been enjoying this series.
Christy, you make a very good point, as it's been already noted. A husband needs to be the head of the house spiritually as well, and I have seen a lot of husbands who happily pass on that role to their wives. But what about in those cases where the husband is the unbeliever then?
Thanks Tommy,
That is my wife's testimony as it relates to those years when my heart was not with the Lord. I know she prayed and always kept a humble heart towards me. I was not a bad husband that abused her or anything like that. Instead I was using profane language in front of her as casual conversation. I hated and let her know that I did hate Gospel Music. I am convinced that through the sovereignty of God, her prayers and the prayers of many devoted Christians worked in harmony for a transformation in my heart. I have learned to submit myself to her wisdom and her character as well. I praised the name of our Lord Jesus for the transformation the Holy Spirit has made in my heart.
On the other hand I have a friend whom I have been ministering for some time that has come to know Jesus. He is new in the faith. His wife has not come to grips with the Word and the faith in our Lord Jesus. She has been threatening with divorce, and to take away his almost one year old baby from him. This situation is tearing him and me apart. My advice to him has been to maintain himself prayed up, and to continue to provide the Christ like example. I can testify his hunger for the Word as I see him studying the Bible (JMC Study Bible).
May the Lord continue this pouring of blessings He allows using GTY through JMC and staff.
Praise GOD orlando, GOD has worked in your life and through your wife as being obedient to our LORD and as for your friend i will be praying for his wife's salvation and just pray that GOD will take control of their lives and will see the full benefits in the end. GOD bless you.
Orlando, thank you for your comment. I will be praying for your friend and his wife.
God bless you!
Some great posts.
I remember when my dad said while in the hospital when he had a
heart attack 5 yrs ago. My dad told my mom that he was man enough
to bear it. My mom told my dad that Jesus is only man enough to die
on the cross for our sins and he is alive. My mom's submission to my dad even he is non-believer shows how noble is my mother. It teaches me something. Smiles. It shows that a christian woman like my mom can pray and be a good witness to her unbelieving husband.
Does it help?
Hi Tommy,
I did listen to the 8 min. clip and I also read the sermon. Please forgive me if I'm wrong, but I came away with the understanding that Pastor MacArthur, was discussing "Submission" in general, not in women specifically. God over Christ, Christ over Man, Man over Woman, and Parents over Children. Instead I feel this blog is inordinately obsessed with submission on the woman's part.
Later on in the sermon, Pastor MacArthur, talks about specific gender roles but in such a way as to give Man, Woman and Children the confidence to submitt with peace. Your answer to Christy, seemed to me a laundry list of do's and don'ts for women.
I have always felt that Submission, needs to be taught carefully. In my experience, I have seen it used as a club.
Complete submission was my phrasing, but that's what I took away from your answer.
Yours in Christ,
There seems to be no more dreaded word in the Bible than the word submission. A proud person will bristle at the very word. But we are all called to submit, even Christ submitted to the Father.
My parents were not Christian parents, but submission was well understood in my home. My mother always yielded to my father's wishes. She always respected his wise council and guidance, and even though they were not Christians, I believe that the Lord truly blessed my parent's marriage, because there was always peace in my home growing up. I, too, followed in this pattern, in my own marriage, and respected my husband tremendously, and he in turn, even though he was not a Christian, showed me the same love and respect.
To me submission is nothing more than showing honor and respect, and we "ALL" are told to submit to one another. But God has also ordained a hierarchy to which we all must lovingly acquiesce. It is His way, and if we truly love the Lord, it becomes our way, too. A quiet and still spirit is not only beautiful in a woman, but it is beautiful in a man, as well.
Dear Dan Wilson:
I am so sorry to hear about your friend, Jerry, who died of cancer. I will pray for his wife and young children.
I'm encouraged you took the time to listen to the audio excerpt, read the entire sermon and come back for interaction. Thanks for being an informed commenter. You're correct, the sermon clip addressed mutual submission within the body of Christ (and by implication, the home). John wasn't dealing with headship, authority, or specific roles within the family until nearly the end of the clip. However, some of the questions in the comment thread were related to that subject, so that's where the discussion went. Case in point—Christy Perez.
Let's take another look at her question: She asked: "What if the husband isn't trying to be the head of the house, does this make the house have conflict? And if it does, how do I resolve this?"
Here's how I understood and processed her inquiry. (1) Her question dealt directly with male headship: Husband leading home. (2) Her question dealt directly with disobedience in male headship: Husband failing to assume role of leadership in home (3) Her question dealt directly with her responsibility in the matter: How does the wife of a disobedient husband respond?
In my estimation, that is a question Peter directly addresses in chapter 3. Christy did not say whether or not the husband in question was a believer or an unbeliever. The word "disobedient" in 1 Peter 3 probably refers to an unbelieving husband. However, the principle is the same for the wife in either case.
Because of those elements, my answer to Christy's question came from John MacArthur's faithful exposition of that text in a book written for families. I don't see it as a "laundry list" at all. It's direct instruction from an inspired apostle given to women in a very unique and challenging situation.
I agree with your assessment that submission should be taught carefully, but I'm having a hard time seeing how anything in this post or the ensuing comment section has treated it carelessly, or worse, (in your words) dangerously.
I'm sorry your perception of this blog (I'm assuming you mean the current series on the family) is one of a group of people inordinately obsessed with female submission. You're entitled to that opinion, but do you not think it a bit premature? After all, at this point, we've only posted 6 entries on the family, and only 1 of those posts deals with submission—and it's mutual submission.
If you're referring to the current discussion in the comment thread, I don't think your observation is fair. Here's why: questions often arise in response to a post which do not reflect the theme of that post. I chose to answer Christy's question, frankly, because I think many wives find themselves in that exact situation. What is a Christian wife to do when the husband she is willing to follow refuses to lead? How should she respond in that situation? Should she abandon her responsibility, thinking her situation to be so unique as to merit exemption? Should she pray for a new husband? Should she file for divorce? Should she post Bible verses all over the house highlighting a man's obligation to provide leadership within the home? No. Peter tells them what to do. Given another opportunity to answer Christy, I'd point her to that same passage. It's timeless.
Eileen: I want to invite you to stick around throughout the duration of this series on the family. Our next several posts will deal with wives submitting to their husbands, and then we'll hit husbands, children and finally, parents. If you feel at the end of the series we're obsessed with female submission and have dangerously wielded it as a club, then we can take up our discussion again at that point. Fair enough?
On a personal note, I can tell you as a husband and father that I tremble before my responsibility to love my wife as Christ loved the church. If the topic of wives submitting to their own husbands leaves you unsettled, I can assure you I feel your pain when Paul addresses my responsibility.
I hope that helped clarify my purpose in responding to Christy, and I hope you stick around Eileen. I've enjoyed interacting with you.
And to Christy: If I misunderstood your question, I trust my comments above explain where I was coming from.
Sincerely in Christ,
Hi Eileen:
I think that one reason that women, in general, "feel" this way is because of broken trust. You want to feel protected in the environment which you live in emotionally as well as physically.
Another reason may be that of social programming- women see themselves in a different light then women of the past did. Today, women are taught, (wrongly I believe), in independence to an extreme. That is, marriage is seen as a contract between two individuals, not two becoming one flesh.
And God mentions the fact that the desire of women will be towards taking headship away from men (Genesis 3) . This is the natural consequence of sin.
Submission does not mean leaving your brain at the threshold of the home, nor does it mean that you should stay in a situation where you are being abused. Submission is "in love", and it works both ways, as Tommy mentioned. Submission causes one to focus out from themselves to look to serve according to the others need- that is why it needs to be both ways. Submission is based on "two becoming one flesh" and thus the image of God in the world. The Love of God is the only way this is accomplished. And to be frank- with my sinful nature I'm not always the most caring of folks- my own desires often take the center stage. When I submit to the Word of God and the Spirit of God that is when things change.
"Headship" is based upon submission as its anchor. The desire for "control" is not based upon that principle. Many women desire to control their husbands, use them to get what they want and give them what they want. He is the appendage, the slave, to their sinful, undisciplined, desire. Many men see headship in the same way, neither brings about the "oneness" of the union depicted in the scripture. When you look at Christ's example, he submits to the Father because he is committed to the Father's program (Hebrews 10), The Holy Spirit submits to the Son, (John 14), But all three are working for the others "good". However, that does not mean that the Son did not have to go to the cross, nor the Holy Spirit did not need to be the "earnest" of people redeemed, but often acting like those who are unredeemed and carnal. Headship sets directions and goals which both are to work for in concert. You will notice that men are to submit to Christ. A man's calling comes from the Spirit of God so that we might fulfill the will of God. Headship is about being first in service to those we lead. (and you can't tell me that that is easy for us self centered men)
Finally, God always has an "open door policy". If you are submitting to your husband and he is not "right" in the head about his responsibilities, and won't get right- God can take him out, (And without the help of "Madina's sweet potato pie"). Just a few thoughts- hope they are helpful an not hurtful. PT
Mary Elizabeth Tyler,
Thanks, Prayer is good.
I like the book of Ruth. It shows how humble Ruth is and she married
Boaz in the last chapter. How she left her lifestyle to follow the true God.
She honored her her mother in law, Naomi. She cared for her and
Naomi point her out to Boaz. Boaz was a godly man and respected Ruth.
It's a beautiful picture of someone growing to close the chapter of old life to a new life. It makes my tears fall. Amen.
I mowed the whole lawn for my dad. That's honorable. Smiles.

Daddy's Game Changing Turkey with Quick Pan Gravy
- 1 (14 to 16 pound) turkey, gizzards and neck removed
- Brine:
- 6 quarts water
- 1 bunch sage
- 1 bunch thyme
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- Rub:
- 1 tablespoon dried marjoram
- 1 tablespoon dry rubbed sage
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 bunch thyme
- 1/2 bunch sage
- 1 rosemary stalk
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 red onion, quartered
- 1 cup turkey broth, plus extra if needed
- Quick Pan Gravy, recipe follows
- Quick Pan Gravy:
- Pan drippings
- 1 cup white wine
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3 cups turkey broth
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe. Rub:
Brine: In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the water, sage, thyme, lemon, salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the salt is dissolved, and the water is fragrant. Turn off the heat and let the brine cool. Put the turkey in a roasting bag, a large plastic bag, or a bowl large enough to fit it with space for the brine. Pour in the brining liquid and seal or cover. If there is not enough room for all of the liquid in the brine, be sure to at least include the herbs, lemon and peppercorns. Refrigerate the turkey for up to 3 days. When ready to cook, remove the turkey from the refrigerator and discard all of brining liquid and solids. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the marjoram, sage, all the peppers, and salt to make the rub. Rub on all sides of the turkey, and drizzle with oil. Stuff the thyme, sage, and rosemary into the cavity, along with 4 of the garlic cloves, and 1 of the red onion quarters. Allow it to sit on the countertop for about 2 hours to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Put the remaining 2 garlic cloves, red onion quarters, and broth in the bottom of a roasting pan. Put the turkey on a rack in the roasting pan. Tuck the wing tips under and tie the legs together with butcher's twine.
Put the turkey in the oven and lower the heat to 350 degrees F. Roast, basting every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted between the thigh and the body registers 160 degrees F, about 2 to 3 hours. Add more broth to the bottom of the pan so the drippings do not burn. Allow the turkey to rest under loosely tented aluminum foil for about 10 minutes. Remove the turkey from the pan to a cutting board. Arrange the carved turkey on a serving platter and serve with Quick Pan Gravy.
Put the roasting pan on the stove top. Remove any large solids, like onions or stalks of rosemary, leaving only the pan drippings, softened garlic cloves, juices and fat. Turn the burner to medium-high heat and add the wine. Using a wooden spoon scrape up all bits from the bottom of the roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix together the flour and butter. Add it to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, while stirring. Cook for about 1 minute, and then whisk in the turkey broth and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and pour it into a serving bowl.

Seizures in dogs can be quite scary for a pet owner, which is why it's important to get the animal to a veterinarian as soon as possible if it occurs. Once the doctor examines the animal, it's likely that they will recommend performing a bile acid test to determine the source of the seizure.
Liver disease is one of the leading causes of seizures in dogs, and a bile acid test is a good test of liver function. Essentially, bile is produced by the liver to aid the process of digestion. Most of the time, a functioning liver will recycle bile acids in the body by removing them from the blood stream, while a damaged or unhealthy liver cannot and the level of bile acids in the blood will rise.
The most important aspect of a bile acid test is the fasting beforehand. The dog is required to not eat or drink anything for approximately 12 hours before the test is administered, reports VCA Animal Hospitals. This even includes chews and small treats. It can be tempting for an owner to feed their dog, but it is essential that the canine does not eat during this time in order to get an accurate result.
Once the fast is completed, blood will be drawn from the dog. The dog is then allowed to eat and digest a portion of food and a second blood sample will be drawn two hours later. Both blood samples are tested for the level of bile acids. If the liver is working properly, a fasted dog should have very low levels of bile acids and only a slightly higher level after it has eaten. In a dog with liver disease, both samples or just the sample taken after eating may be abnormal. Depending on the degree of abnormality, your veterinarian is likely to recommend other tests or treatments for your dog with liver disease.

U.S. and Western Hemisphere: Partnership and Shared ResponsibilityAbout the Author: Tina Huang serves in the Office of Public Diplomacy for the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.
What does the U.S. Mission in Brazil and hip hop have in common? The U.S. Mission in Brazil recently participated in the tenth Hutúz Festival in Rio de Janeiro, an annual event bringing together Afro-Brazilian artists, special guests and Brazilian citizens across the country. The festival is the largest hip hop event in Latin America. Hutúz has become an annual celebration of the Brazilian hip hop movement, which has played a major role in the political and social fight for inclusion of underprivileged Afro-Brazilian urban populations. During this year's festival, the U.S. Mission in Brazil produced and screened a 30-second video clip about the Mission's in-country partnerships and programs engaging over 20,000 Brazilians in attendance. The festival also brought back the best and most popular artists for the "Academy Award" of Brazil hip hop, the traditional Hutúz Award Ceremony at Canecão concert hall.
The U.S. Mission in Brazil has been a sponsor for the Hutúz Festival since 2002. As the top forum for hip hop, the festival receives major national media coverage. Leading personalities of the Brazilian society have participated in previous editions of Hutúz, including Brazilian Ministers of Culture and Sports as well as artists such as Caetano Velloso, Gilberto Gil and filmmaker Cacá Diegues.
Watch the 30 second video on the U.S. Mission in Brazil here.

Home developer files for bankruptcy
Boca Ciega Corp., which is building 23 homes in Seminole, says money isn't its main problem.
By ANNE LINDBERG
Published May 12, 2007
SEMINOLE - A local developer of a gated subdivision has asked a federal bankruptcy court for protection while a dispute among the corporation's shareholders is worked out.
The Boca Ciega Corp., which is building 23 homes at 10803 54th Ave. N, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January. Among other things, the company's president, Gay Varano, is asking that the corporation be reorganized.
Clearwater lawyer Michael Markham, who is handling the bankruptcy, said, "The Boca Ciega situation is kind of unique."
The corporation did not declare bankruptcy because there is not enough money to pay the creditors. The bankruptcy is designed to allow the corporation to continue selling property while a dispute between the shareholders is ironed out.
"It's more legal issues than financial distress, " Markham said.
One of the shareholders is the person who financed the original purchase of the land. Among the issues, Markham said, is how much that shareholder should be paid when lots are sold.
If those issues can be ironed out, Boca would exit bankruptcy quickly, he said. As it is, the company expects to be out of the court system in the next few months.
Papers filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida show that the corporation's main asset is the land, which is slated to become the Boca Ciega Club. The property is valued at $4.2-million. The corporation's debts total about $2.4-million, according to the court records.
Even though the company has filed for bankruptcy protection, Boca Ciega continued to operate and has sold at least three lots since filing for reorganization. The court has allowed the sale of those lots and has removed any liens covering them so the buyers will have no fear of future problems.
Company officials intend to continue selling lots and have scheduled an open house for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the property.

Despite the fact that Intel Corp.'s code-named Larrabee discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) largely remains a mystery, Nvidia Corp. constantly criticizes Intel's technology and predicts the lack of its business success. According to Nvidia, x86 instruction set compatibility will hardly help Larrabee to provide benefits and will also not allow Intel to create a truly high-performance graphics chip.
"Intel's chip is lugging along this x86 instruction set, and there is a tax you have to pay for that. I think their argument is mostly a marketing thing," said William Dally, chief scientist at Nvidia, in an interview with the New York Times news-paper.
Intel claims that compatibility with x86 instructions will help Larrabee to better suit for the so-called general purpose processing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), including calculations of physics effects, artificial intelligence and so on. However, since x86 processing cores are larger in terms of physical dimension compared to proprietary cores inside ATI Radeon or Nvidia GeForce GPUs, the number of such cores will be lower, hence, total horsepower of Larrabee may be lower compared to traditional GPUs that will compete with them.
It is interesting to note that ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices (which primary business is creation of microprocessors) also does not see many benefits of x86 for graphics. According to the company, at this time it makes sense to continue using proprietary cores incompatible with x86 commands.
Intel did not react on the comments issued by Nvidia.

We were out of town for Memorial weekend, living it up at the Hampton Inn with its creature comforts. It was nice to get away. It was nice watching TV. It was nice taking long guilt free showers. But, now we are back to reality, and it's pretty good.
We came home to find that Agnes' eggs did in fact hatch. While she was out getting food for her newbies, I snapped a few pictures. I wouldn't call them cute necessarily. They are a bit unrecognizable. I can't really distinguish body parts yet, but I'll be taking pictures everyday to document their progress.
I was a little concerned when I saw that Agnes was not in her nest with the baby birds. They look so pink and vulnerable, and it hasn't been warm. I wanted to intervene and put a hot pad under the nest or something, just to make sure they stayed warm. Was she ditching them? Did she not sufficiently bond with them? I decided to trust that Agnes knew what she was doing. And, it turns out she does. When she returned, I secretly, and very quietly glanced out the door. I could see her tail feathers shaking a bit with each regurgitation she unloaded into her babies mouths. Good job Agnes. You got this.
The lilacs are filling the air with flowery goodness. They surround the old farmhouse, and bring it back to life a bit. I can picture Emma flinging open the windows to let the springtime smell clean out the winter doldrums.
These old trees come back every year with new blossoms. Old, dark, knotty bark contrasted with fresh new blossoms gives them an instant face lift every spring.
Apple blossoms are "snowing" right now, according to Axel. And, speaking of snow, the rivers are HUGE because of all of that snow, huh? While we were driving west, I was amazed at how much water is forging through the various rivers we passed. We are definitely in surplus.
Rhubarb finally got my serious attention. I cut a bunch of stalks and am making strawberry-rhubarb pie with it. I'm thinking of making some rhubarb preserves too. Anybody ever try that? Seems like it would be a good thing to have mid-winter for a pie filling or something.
Thank you lilacs for making my house smell better than it usually does.
We have a plethora of eggs and spinach currently, so what better to use those up than quiche? I got this recipe from my new favorite food blog Smitten Kitchen. It turned out awesome. It's made with half and half, cheddar and parmesan cheese, spinach, green onions and eggs (of course), so you can't really go wrong. I used the spinach from our garden instead of frozen, which is what the recipe called for. Again, it was super good.
And, with that my friends, I shall end this post. Happy Tuesday.

At the very beginning of the project two device concepts have been developed and elaborated in the following three years: the magnetic warehouse concept for adherently growing cells and the DEP/fluidic device for suspension cells. Last years results clearly revealed that both directions should be followed. Consequently, the naming was changed re-flecting that a transition from concepts to realisations has now been made. The magnetic warehouse approach will now be called MagnaLab crediting the magnetic manipulation of the carriers. The DEP/fluidic device is called NazcaLab, inspired by the layout of the fluidic chip resembling the ancient large scale drawings observed in Peru, South America.
The operational framework of the CellPROM application laboratory is now fully established serving as the point of integration for both devices; respective tools and modules are developed by the different partners in the framework of the project and the interplay is evaluated in the application laboratory.
The central part of the MagnaLab is a large fluidic chip manufactured from different layers of polycarbonate and connected by laser-welding. The current layout features 15 cultivation chambers allowing different cell suspension additives to be supplied to the cells. Thus a parallel cultivation of different cell models in the same chip is possible.
The cells are grown adherently on small, value added glass carriers (1 mm x 2 mm), those carriers are manipulated magnetically through the MagnaLab to undergo different processing steps. Long term cell cultivation under those conditions could be shown with adult pancreatic stem cells for 20 days, first results for differentiation in the chip with soluble growth factors are promising.
Nano-structurisation and functionalisation for the NanoScapesTM has been matured. Different features with sizes down to 50 nm have been reproduced in polymers and inorganic layers on glass. Various roads for the immobilisation of signal factors have been established. The systematic study of those substrates in the MagnaLab will be the main focus of the last project year.
