Alice Lloyd College has always been fortunate to have faithful and generous alumni and friends who support the leadership initiatives set forth by its founders, Alice Spencer Geddes Lloyd and June Buchanan. As a private, non-profit, educational institution, every dollar given is extremely important and very much appreciated.
You may like to know that 89.4% of our annual budget goes directly toward providing educational opportunities to Appalachian students. Less than 11% is used for administration costs, which includes 7% used for fundraising purposes.
There are many ways to give to ALC:
Give Online
Make a one-time gift with your credit card on a secure site, or you may contact our Development Office to set up a recurring gift.
Mail a check or money order made payable to Alice Lloyd College to:
Alice Lloyd College
100 Purpose Road
Pippa Passes, KY 41844
Endowment Gifts
Building and maintaining a solid endowment is a priority at Alice Lloyd College. Currently, the College must raise over 50% of its annual operating funds. Increasing endowment for long-term financial security is a constant need.
Planned Giving
June Buchanan once said, "Put us in your will, and we'll pray you live forever!"
Planned Gifts to Alice Lloyd College include bequests made through a will provision, as well as those gifts which allow donors to give a future interest in property (cash, securities, real estate, etc.) while retaining income or a benefit for life. Regardless of the arrangement, a planned gift serves to ensure quality learning opportunities for future Central Appalachian students served by Alice Lloyd College.
Corporate Matching Gifts
Since the College neither receives nor solicits direct financial support from the local, state or federal governments, and guarantees no out-of-pocket costs for tuition to students from 108 Central Appalachian counties, the College relies heavily on private gift income. Foundation and corporate giving is especially important to our school. Foundations provide an average of 53% of the College's annual income, with corporations contributing roughly 2%. Through the financial assistance these entities provide, the College has been able to construct, renovate and make annual improvements on its facilities throughout campus to bring them up to a 20-year standard. We are grateful for the confidence our supporters have demonstrated through their giving.
Check with your employer to see if they participate in a matching gifts program.

Would you like to contribute to Alice Lloyd College, but you just don't have the money at the current moment? Would you perhaps like to give a substantial gift, but feel the need to "spread it out" over time? If either of these scenarios fit you, then making a pledge to Alice Lloyd College may be your best option. By downloading the online Pledge Form (pdf), you can indicate how much you would like to donate and how long it will take you to pay off your pledge. Mailing the completed form to our Institutional Advancement Office lets us know that your gift is on its way, and also gives you the satisfaction of being a part of Alice Lloyd College!
Mail the completed form to:

Stocks, bonds, or other appreciated securities can be donated.
Non-cash gifts such as equipment, automobiles, or other tangible property can be donated. An appraisal prepared by an independent party is required before we can place a dollar value on such gifts.
Annual Alumni Gift
It is very important for alumni to make at least one gift during each fiscal year (August 1 – July 31) to help with our annual giving percentage. Each year, the Office of Alumni Relations in conjunction with the Office of Marketing & Communications conducts a Phonathon during ALC's Alumni Appeal, which runs from April to the end of July. Representatives (very often students) from the College call alumni members who have not yet made their annual donation to invite them to make gifts in support of ALC's important mission. For us, it's not the amount that you give that counts — it's the fact that you gave!
Due to the generosity of alumni, staff, trustees, churches, societies, businesses, foundations, and countless friends across America, full-time students from the College's 108-county service area in Central Appalachia – most deemed "economically distressed" by the Appalachian Regional Commission — may attend Alice Lloyd College regardless of financial circumstances. Tuition is guaranteed through several sources, but in particular through scholarships that fund the supreme financial aid packages available to qualified students.
Special Fundraising Projects
All of these projects are essential to enabling Alice Lloyd College to continue to provide a high-quality education to students. The projects are transformational and geared toward enhancing student learning by upgrading facilities and improving on-campus living conditions.
Alice Lloyd College accepts no direct federal or state funding, charges no tuition, and, by definition, incurs no debt. Your assistance with one or more of these projects would be greatly appreciated.
Click here to see a list of projects for which support is currently being sought.
Clothing Exchange
Almost as old as the Caney Creek Community Center itself is a trading post of sorts called "The Exchange." Originally, "The Exchange" was a place where local people could bring their excess supplies, such as vegetables, eggs, livestock and coal and exchange them for clothing and shoes which were sent to Caney Creek Community Center by Mrs. Lloyd's friends "up north." The supplies brought for exchange were then used in operating the Community Center.
Today, "The Exchange" is still in operation, although on a different scale. We now receive packages of clothing, shoes, books and almost everything imaginable from donors across the nation. The College uses what it can of the goods, then makes the rest available to students, staff and the local community. Consumers no longer bring things to trade, but pay minimal prices for the goods. The funds generated from "The Exchange" are used for general operating purposes of Alice Lloyd College and The June Buchanan School.
If, in going through your closets or attic, you find gently used items you no longer need, you might consider sending them to "The Exchange" via parcel post or UPS.
The address is:
Caney Creek Community Center
100 Purpose Road
Pippa Passes, KY 41844
Christmas Pretties
The Christmas Pretties Program began soon after Mrs. Lloyd arrived on Caney Creek in 1917. Her mother, Ella Geddes, quickly realized that the children of the mountain hollows rarely received Christmas gifts because, at that time, the families were too poor to buy more than the bare necessities. Each summer, Mrs. Geddes wrote to friends in Boston asking for donations of toys, books, mittens, caps and scarves to be wrapped and given out to the children of Caney Creek in December. Church groups and women's societies helped by knitting the mittens, caps and scarves and shipping them to Pippa Passes each fall, while others sent store-bought dolls, balls, pens, pencils and storybooks. Mrs. Geddes, with the help of Caney students, did the rest. The old slogan, "We don't give anything away around here until Christmastime," referred to the Christmas Pretties Program.
As Mrs. Lloyd graduated young teachers and built new schools in the outlying communities, the requests for "pretties" grew. Teachers would send in their lists of student names, and gifts would be sent out to the schools. After Mrs. Geddes passed away, others carried on the tradition – and it still continues today. In some years, there were as many as 5,000 gifts prepared and given throughout the Central Appalachian area to school children who oftentimes received no other gifts at Christmas. Today, the Program has scaled down somewhat, mainly because there are other organizations who provide similar assistance for the needy. But, there are still children who look forward to the "pretties" from Alice Lloyd College. It's a tradition of several generations now, and it adds to the spirit of Christmas by creating lifetime memories for children, young and old. The Christmas Pretties Program will continue as long as friends support the program by sending in the "pretties" or funds to help purchase suitable items.
If you want to contribute to the Christmas Pretties Program, you can send a check or a box of gift items to the address below:

Housing for the Voices of Appalachia
Each year during spring break, the choir tours various regions of the United States to share their music and the story of Alice Lloyd College. You may host students in your home during one of these tours. Arrangements are made through our choir director and hosting organizations. Only "soft credit" is given for this gift of service.

Flynn: Dems ignore Catholics
How anyone with moral values of any religious background can vote for the rats is mysterious.
It will be interesting to track, but I think Flynn is wrong here. I believe we will see more Catholics (remember -- the Church (with the younger people) is getting more conservative.) voting Republican more and more!
A decent man in my opinion.
He's apparently new to the idea that Catholics don't listen to the hierarchy any more, at least not as much as they used to. Back when he was an alter boy, the Pope and the cardinals and bishops exerted a mighty force over their flocks, it started falling apart in the 1970's. By the time I last attended a Catholic church as a member, I knew more Catholic men with a vasectomy (like myself) than non-Catholic men with one. One older guy at a Knights of Columbus after-meeting function (in the lounge of the local Mexican restaurant) acknowledged that a lot of the guys had rationalized it this way: better for them to commit one sin, one time, than to have their wives commit a little sin every day by taking the Pill.
Older Catholics who still think that JFK is President (or at least that's the way it oughta be) are firmly in the Rats' pockets, they don't stop long enough to think about abortion. As long as those nasty, Protestant Republicans are stopped at the polls, they don't care what Rat politicians do. I've met more that way than I care to count up.
Stupid comment. Actually Catholics tend to be more pro gay marriage and pro abortion that Protestants do (although in the latter instance, the numbers are about even), at least if you count all nominal Catholics as Catholics, which clearly the 40% Catholic figure in New Hampshire that Flynn cited includes.
Is Flynn still drinking?
The Catholic League has been trying for months to get the DNC to take Catholics For Free Choice off their web site as a Catholic site.
As far as changes in the Catholic church go, do they still teach that people go to hell for masturbation? They still would have a massive problem with my three divorces!
These men did not understand what a sin really is. The sin was not confined to the day they had the vasectomy. Every time they congratulated themselves on their cleverness, and were glad that they'd had the vasectomy, they were ratifying the sin. In a sense, they were committing it over again each time they ratified it again with their will.
I hear what you are saying but I do not like the idea of my religion being misrepresented by another organization, especially one like, Catholics For Free Choice.
If Dean said this then he is truly a whacko. Five or six counties in Missouri have more farms than Vermont has square mileage.
Vermont is a tiny state.
Catholic League president William Donohue spoke to this matter today: I have written to DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe imploring him to act quickly and decisively by removing Catholics for a Free Choice from the DNCs links of interest organizations. The very fact that this group was the only Catholic listing on its website until this week is mind-boggling: it suggests that the DNC believes its Catholic base is led by Frances Kissling. The DNC knows CFFC is bogus yet continues to provide cover for it.
It is flatly wrong to tag CFFC as merely a pro-choice group of ex-Catholics. Kissling has openly admitted that it is her goal to overthrow the Catholic Church. That is why she works so hard to subvert the Church by attempting to get the Holy See kicked out of the U.N. Twice the U.S. bishops have condemned CFFC as a fraud, yet the DNC amazingly gives legitimacy to this anti-Catholic front group.
Scroll down to check the number of dead -- it can change right before your eyes.
Go to dissent -- http://www.ourladyswarriors.org/
Catholics for a Free Choice (CFFC) Promotes artificial contraceptive "rights," including abortion. Their focus is the "intersection of Catholic teaching and public policy." Bishop Bruskewitz excommunicated those that belong to this group in his Diocese. Member of Catholic Organizations for Renewal. They have been condemned by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB).
That is correct, I went to the DNC website for the first time, clicked Links, Religious and found "Catholics for a Free Choice". So it seems like the Democrats are Only interested in Pro-Abortion Catholics.
It follows then, those not following the Pope vote Democrat. Hmmm, shouldn't the church make efforts to correct those not following the Pope, including our Politicians?
My daughter turns 18 this year and is looking forward to voting in the Fall. She can't stand the Democrats!
The only way to know is to ask a priest. Remember the parable of the lost sheep.
Here is a place to start. Click on the link. ONCE CATHOLIC
Yes, I realize that they were rationalizing it away like a pack of lawyers. But, they (and I) were just doing something that every other branch of Christendom, and most other world religions find responsible, they were taking effective means of limiting their family size to what they could afford.
The idea that we were put on this earth solely to be breeding machines, in a world of over five billion people already, was one of the thousand reasons I had to leave the Catholic church. The same kind of justifications those men made for doing what they did two decades ago, I have seen in the recent pedophile priest scandal, so the attitude that was displayed by the laity extends to the clergy.
Every single Christian church taught that the use of contraception is a species of sodomy, until 1930, when the Anglicans "approved" its use. Now they are ordaining sodomite bishops and persecuting those who resist.
I guess that could mean letting one's marriage fall into being a sexless relationship, no thanks. How about the concept of bringing the consequences of sexual activity under control? That's all conception control is. Comparisons of contraception to sodomy are going to give sodomy a better name, something the gay marriage folks are already trying to do. I guess that's why the SCOTUS had to create privacy out of thin air, because the Connecticut legislature used religious thinking to define what a married couple could do in their own bedrooms. Now, we have that same privacy concept being expanded in ways that no one thought possible in 1967.
Ray Flynn was Clinton's only pro-life apointee as U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican from 1993-97 and was Mayor of Boston from 1984-93.
He supported President Bush in 2000 and will vote for him again in 2004.
What, I think, he was saying in the article was that he was chastizing Catholic Politicians for selling out their faith for votes and the democat party for ignoring the Catholics and the Catholic Vote, deep down he wants his party to be the way it was, pro-life, pro-Catholic, blue collar, etc.
And what he really wants, is a united Catholic Vote. He's got a lot of work ahead of him thanks to the liberal bishops and Catholics in general.
Dave Eberhart, NewsMax.comPresident of Your Catholic Voice, former mayor of Boston, former president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican during the Clinton Administration, and author of The Accidental Pope and John Paul II - Ray Flynn is a man on a mission.
Wednesday, July 28, 2004
Unabashedly pro-life, pro-family and pro-needy, Flynn has been president since May 2003 of YCV, a non-partisan independent Catholic lay organization dedicated to motivating, educating and activating Catholic citizens for political and social participation.
His mantra: Catholics have become spectators in American politics, not active players.
Flynn is out to change all that, but suggests that he doesnt get much help from the Catholic politicians. Catholic politicians feel they have to compromise their Catholic principles and values to get ahead, he told NewsMax in an exclusive interview.
"The popular line of the day for Catholic elected officials on issues like abortion and same-sex marriage is, Im personally opposed, but I dont want to impose my own values and beliefs on other people."
"Amazingly, this has become the political response that satisfies both Catholic voters and opponents to Church teaching."
Although not taking specific aim at the nations most prominent Catholic politician these days John Kerry the description fits. Kerry is the first Roman Catholic from a major political party to seek the presidency in 44 years.
Although Flynn has not formally endorsed Kerry, he has expressed the belief that Kerrys campaign needs a Catholic movement - a reaching out to Catholic voters.
Flynn maintains it could make a deciding difference in battlegrounds like Ohio, Wisconsin and New Mexico states with large Catholic populations. Nearly 20 percent of Ohioans are Catholic, and the ratio is higher in cities like Cleveland and Cincinnati.
Flynn suggests that Kerry could serve himself better by being more overt with his own faith. Instead, the candidate rarely gets personal about his faith on the campaign trail, stressing instead his strong belief in separation of church and state.
And Flynns complaint extends not just to the candidate but to the party he represents. At one time, the Democratic Party fought for social and economic justice and was the party of blue-collar, working-class Catholic families," he said. "Today, the Democratic Party is controlled by wealthy, left-wing activists whose extreme political agenda, for the most part, excludes loyal, faithful and patriotic American Catholics.
As president of a nonpartisan, tax-exempt organization, Flynn has been careful in choosing his words.
However, when Kerry last year suggested Pope John Paul II crossed the line by instructing Catholic politicians to block legalization of gay marriage, Flynn, a great admirer of the Pope, was pushed over the edge. For Kerry to attack and address the Holy Father, the revered moral leader of over one billion Catholics worldwide, in that way was highly disrespectful and cynical.
"If a candidate for President does not understand that the family is the foundation and source of stability for society, I think he is out of touch with mainstream Americans.
But candidate Kerry may just be between a rock and a hard place when it comes to defining the role of his faith in his candidacy. Flynn says, Its different to 40 years ago. JFK, as a Catholic, had to convince non-Catholics that he would not take orders from the Pope. The challenge for Kerry is to convince Catholics that he is faithful to the values and traditions of the Catholic Church.
Although Flynn laments that instead of attending civic and church meetings, Catholics are shopping in the malls or watching athletic events on TV, he does see hope on the horizon.
Much to my surprise, young adults are getting involved more than Ive ever seen before. Ive seen it in San Francisco, Boston and cities throughout the United States.
"I also see it on college campuses like Harvard and the University of San Francisco. Its truly amazing the sense of commitment these young Catholics women and men have.
These are young people who have been positively influenced by the moral leadership of Pope John Paul II and are not afraid to get involved.
"A positive movement of young Catholics is building, not only in the United States, but also in many parts of the world. I personally saw the impact that Pope John Paul II has had on young people in my many trips with him over the years.
In the run-up to the November elections, these are some of the important hearts and minds that Kerry must capture, says Flynn.
One older guy at a Knights of Columbus after-meeting function (in the lounge of the local Mexican restaurant) acknowledged that a lot of the guys had rationalized it this way: better for them to commit one sin, one time, than to have their wives commit a little sin every day by taking the Pill. >>>
It's not a one-time sin, every snipped Catholic male or tied female commits a mortal sin each time they have sex since they are preventing procreation and going against God's will. Genesis 38:8-10
The Cathechism says:
"...every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible is intrinsically evil." CCC 2370
So basically, anything a person does to block the possibility of life-giving that occurs during the sexual act, is wrong. It inhibits the total giving of yourself to your spouse, and totally shuts the door on God's involvement in this aspect of your life, which might at some point, be to have another child.
It's also a matter of surrendering to God. It's like saying "God, you can have every aspect of my life, I give myself totally to you, except for my sperm (or ovaries and uterus) -- those are mine."
The Bible is very clear on this in Deut 23:2 St. John Crysostom said that said that it is a satanic mulitation that is a slander to God's creation and that preventing a human soul from ever existing is worse than murder.
St. Augustine said take from marriage what marriage is and preventing children creates spouses that are joined in seduction not love. If the deed is done and you didn't know that it was a mortal sin it isn't a mortal sin but you must do everything in your power to get it reversed now that you know. This is God's world and we are His people we have no right to alter His plans.
Encyclical of Pope Paul VI on the regulation of birth
Catholics "who, for serious reasons and with due respect to moral precepts, decide not to have additional children for either a certain or an indefinite period of time," are permitted to use the Natural Family Planning (NFP) method (i.e., abstain from sex during fertile period).

A shoe that works on road and off, the Salomon XR Mission is the company's first foray into the hybrid trail shoe category.
The XR Mission offers a sturdy, high-quality build typical of Salomon shoes. One of the first things you'll notice when slipping on this shoe is the wide, cushioned platform. The mid/outsole gives you confidence that you'll stay stable, and the low lug height makes this shoe more runnable on the road. Note that this shoe has a higher arch that both testers and customers have found to be too obtrusive.
The upper is all about the trail, with a gusseted tongue that does a good job of keeping debris out, overlays that protect and secure the foot, a rubber toe cap, and a convenient lace pocket. All testers liked the fit of the upper, though the quick-pull laces (as seen on other Salomon trail shoes) got mixed reviews for their ease of use and adjustability.
Testers tried several different foot strike patterns in this shoe with mixed results. The XR Mission offers a good transition when heel striking but feels a little clunky for midfoot strikers. To engineer a shoe meant to work well on both road and trail, Salomon had to make a few compromises. Still, this is a nice shoe that offers a cushioned ride for almost any terrain.
The wide base gives you great stability and I felt confident about the outsole's traction.
Perfect volume and fit in the forefoot, but I wasn't able to tighten the cinch laces enough and my heels slipped a bit as I ran.
I wanted so badly to love this shoe. It has Salomon's sturdy build quality and a comfortable upper, but I didn't feel at home in the mid/outsole.

LAWRENCE-Our beautiful mother, daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt, niece, and friend lost her valiant battle with cancer on Nov. 14, 2011. Brianne Dawn Mason Simmons loved her beautiful girls, Kamrie Brianne, Sarah Danielle, Raquelle Diane, and Madilyn Rose. She was a wonderful mother and an amazing example of what a person should be. She loved to laugh, dance, sing, be goofy, camp, take pictures, play sports, and scrapbook. Brianne was an active member of Desert Edge Christian Chapel. God was the biggest part of her life and she is dancing in His presence now. Her most important treasures on this Earth were her four little girls that she would do anything for. She made sure they were at the many activities that they were involved in.
Brianne is survived by her four daughters: Kamrie, Danielle, Raquelle, and Madilyn, parents Keven and Earlene Mason, sisters: Heidi (Dustin) Carlson, Jessica (Nick) Teny, and Mallorie Mason (TyLee Allred), grandparents: Joseph and Esta Lee Mason and Irene (Reed) Halliday, father-in-law and mother-in-law Tim and Diane Simmons, sister-in-law Sara (Jason) Lamb, and brother-in-law Joshua Simmons.

Terry, You are quiet today! How is everything with you?
No, I missed it. I was at a meeting for Pre-Paid Legal Services. It was interesting. If you want to see more about it, go to www.GreatWorkPlan.com and check it out. If you're not interested, that's okay. But if you are let me know! I'm sorry I missed out on that. How are you doing by the way?
The Trout Fishing is great. We are overloaded with deer so I guess the hunting is good. I haven't hunt for a couple of years.

Good morning :o
Thats what I did being from Arkansas, my boys live down at the coast in Louisiana so I when down to them.
It''s just a matter of time before you get something!
Hey Terry, had a great weekend when fishing in the gulf. Only complaint would be, it was to short.
You have to watch out for those bait stealers! They'll do it every time!
So am I, but I wasn't surprised to get laid off, even though they said that I could keep the position until there was a new job, they decided to lay me off because they didn't have enough work for me to do there. He said they weren't going to hire anyone to fill my place. It's just a matter of time before something else comes along, God be praised!
Did you catch anything?
Good morning, my brother! How are you?
Did you end up doing anything special?
I was given 2 weeks notice where I work. Not enough work for me to do. So now I just have to dig in a little bit harder than before. Outside of that. We rented a few movies and that was it. Dan was on call for the weekend, so we couldn't go far. Still there's a job out there for me. It's just a matter of time.

Our news media suffer from a terrible supply-side problem. The number of people paid to offer opinions greatly outstrips the number of things worth having an opinion about. Even now, several weeks after the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, I don't think the slaughter was the kind of event toward which one can profitably form an interesting point of view. Leaving church one morning, so the story goes, the great Coolidge was asked the subject of his pastor's sermon. "Sin," Coolidge replied. And what did the pastor say about sin? "He said he was ag'in it." Some things don't require much elaboration.--From the February 2013 issue of Commentary, pages 63-64
In an important sense—in the literal sense—what happened at Sandy Hook was unspeakable, which is why, I suppose, the public disputations that followed it were a towering jumble of non sequitur and irrelevance, a rodeo of hobby horses ridden by straw men. The disputations began even before the authorities had released a final count of victims. Indeed, at the time, good information was hard to come by. For as much as 10 hours after the first reporters arrived on the scene, print and TV journalists were misreporting the killer's name, his place of residence, his relationship to the elementary school, his mother's line of work, the types and source of the guns he used, the reaction of school officials in the immediate aftermath of the crime—the long string of mistakes we have come to expect when the compulsion to get it first overwhelms the need to get it right.
The slaughter at Sandy Hook wasn't merely a rebuke to politics or law enforcement or government regulation--it was a rebuke to our desperate hope that evil can be destroyed, or at least quarantined.

I read an article yesterday about how the Lutheran minister who participated in the ecumenical prayer service for Sandy Hook was forced by the LCMS to apologize for being there. They said Lutherans are forbidden from worshipping with people of other faiths. This is the sort of thing that allows evil to thrive.February 8, 4:25 pm | [comment link]

#2 Dan, I could understand it if there was Communion or other denomination or faith-specific practice. There was not. This wasn't a worship service. It was a collection of faith representatives offering prayers for their deceased members and their families. There's a difference. Will Lutherans not pray for or even witness prayers for non-Lutherans?
This is precisely the sort of thing that the Evil One loves and uses to keep those who love God, and Jesus especially, divided and to seem petty and legalistic to non-believers. If everyone who truly loves our Lord could pray and work together while respecting differences, then the world would be transformed. Satan knows this.February 8, 5:56 pm | [comment link]

The position of the Missouri Synod is pretty clear:
I'd probably define "worship" a bit more narrowly than they do, but how this is a belief that "allows evil to thrive" I have no clue.
They're not going to worship with those of other faiths, and they define worship as "offering public prayers together."

I can't believe that minister had to issue a public apology for simply saying a prayer with grieving people in a gymnasium. They stretched the application of their belief to the ripping point and then made it a public issue. Pettiness in Christianity on display again.
So if this is an accepted and widely known belief then why didn't the LCMS pastor gather his members to have their own service and not participate in the community event? That would have been a more reasonable approach in keeping themselves untainted.February 9, 12:07 am | [comment link]

RE: "Division and legalism, particularly at times when compassion is required, do not bring people to the Lord Jesus."
I'm not sure I understand. Necessarily, Christians *are* "divided" from Buddhists, Hindus, and others. It's not "legalistic" to recognize that reality.
RE: "Our Lord ministered to Samaritans, pagans, and unbelievers."
Sure—but ministering to people—as the quote above from the Missouri Synod Lutheran person acknowledges—is quite different from worshipping with them. The distinction is just what I quoted above.
RE: "Can anyone imagine Him not being willing to pray with a diverse community who had lost so many children?"
Sure. Quite easily.
RE: "They stretched the application of their belief to the ripping point and then made it a public issue."
Not at all—it's *precisely what they believe* so there is no "stretching" of the application of their belief. This is what Missouri Synod Lutherans believe—beginning to end. Perhaps you should read up on them and their beliefs.
RE: "Pettiness in Christianity on display again."
I disagree—merely practicing what they believe and behaving honorably despite public pressure to fold.
I'm more than happy to disagree—perhaps—with their stated theological belief. But I don't believe it petty for them to practice their stated and written-down beliefs.
RE: ". . . why didn't the LCMS pastor gather his members to have their own service and not participate in the community event?"
That is precisely what the LCMS church as a whole wanted to know—and that's why the pastor had to apologize.February 9, 12:27 am | [comment link]
7. Teatime2 wrote:
I'm sorry I wasn't clear. The public apology bit was petty and trotted out more Christian dirty laundry for all to see.
This wasn't worship. It was a community event at a community center. My question was rhetorical. The minister didn't put together an LCMS gathering because he likely didn't see the community event as problematic, as worship. You can glean that from the apology.
By divisions, I was referring to those between Christians. The policy highlights those, too. As I said, I understand objections related to the sacraments. But prayer is so basic. Here in Texas, there's prayer said at high school football games. No one considers it worship; just about everyone bows their heads.
It's very clear that we have different views on Christian practice, Sarah, but you can honestly say that the Jesus we know from the Scriptures would refuse to pray with and comfort grieving families of murdered children? What in the Gospels would support that view? By extension, do you also believe that He may ignore prayers for healing and comfort from the grieving families?February 9, 1:37 am | [comment link]

RE: "This wasn't worship."
So you opine. But the Missouri Synod Lutherans believe differently. And the minister was brought to heel, based on the clearly and long stated beliefs of the church in which he is ministering.
RE: "It's very clear that we have different views on Christian practice, Sarah, but you can honestly say that the Jesus we know from the Scriptures would refuse to pray with and comfort grieving families of murdered children?"
Not at all. But then . . .that wasn't your original question. ; > )
Your original question was: "Can anyone imagine Him not being willing to pray with a diverse community who had lost so many children?"
And my answer was yes indeed.
Imagine Jesus among Romans, praying to their gods, Islamic folks, praying to their gods, and let's throw in some old fashioned Baal worshippers, praying to their gods. And *then* I can well imagine Jesus quietly slipping away—and the people following Him who wished to follow Him—and His praying for them.
But Jesus merrily taking part in a public little prayer gathering with the Baal worshippers and the Romans? No, actually, I don't "imagine" that at all. He didn't place Himself as equal to the gods. He was God, He was Truth, and anything He said in such a public prayer gathering would have gotten Him crucified, as He so clearly stood above all of that.
Not a good example, Teatime.February 9, 10:05 am | [comment link]

I can just imagine the next day blog-commenters if Jesus showed up at an "inter-faith prayer service."

Well, I would imagine that if Jesus showed up at said gathering, there would be quite a stir and no sectarian prayer would actually occur. Anumber of Christians may not believe it's Jesus because He didn't sound like a hippy or a Republican.
The Scriptures tell us that Jesus met and ate with diverse groups that contained notorious sinners. The Jewish authorities saw that as accepting their behavior when it was no such thing. He also healed the servant of a Roman centurion, a pagan.
Lest you make a.n issue of my typing and spacing, my computer broke and my only means of internet communication is a not-so-responsive tablet with arthritic fingers. I can't cut and paste and shouldn't have to repeat the same, exact phrase describing the gathering. You knew what I meant and you used semantics to reframe it to your liking.
Whatever. Not my game and I m done. But I am beginning to understand why the Jesus of the Denominational Rule Book isn't attracting many seekers. As per "Peter" here, sentiment and feelings have no place in the rigorous practice of religion. Love and compassion that strain the rules are dangerous so not getting involved is best. How many atrocities flourished because of that? Satan smiles.February 9, 3:52 pm | [comment link]

None of which is the same as Jesus praying at an interfaith prayer service.
RE: "You knew what I meant and you used semantics to reframe it to your liking."
No—I knew what you meant, Teatime, and disagreed with it and spelled out where I disagreed, as I still do, while you attempted to conflate ministering to pagans with participating in "interfaith prayer services"—which are not the same thing at all.
RE: "Love and compassion that strain the rules are dangerous so not getting involved is best."
Right—because no Christian can show "love and compassion" without participating in an interfaith prayer service. Unless Christians participate in an interfaith prayer service, evil will thrive and Satan will be happy.
Got it.
No drama at all, either, for Christians not believing precisely the way Teatime demands regarding interfaith prayer services.February 10, 9:30 am | [comment link]

For a fun idea, using canned or leftover frosting, spread frosting between layers of cupcake bottoms and thread on wooden skewers.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Huge for a 7
"These boots look really nice online but actually feel a bit cheap in reality. Which wouldn't have been a total deal breaker except that they have absolutely no arch support and were literally floating on my feet they were so wide. I wear a 6.5 or 7 in all shoes and this is by far the largest 7 I've ever tried. For that reason I took them back. Better off spending extra on Keens or Merrills."

good boot...... but
"need a half size up and they only come in whole sizesthe soles squeak when walking in them. not sure if that would continue.They are difficult to get into to due to no zipper.BUT they seemed well made and were very nicely lined and indeed would offer the warmth and the waterproofing I was looking for . So I am a bit disappointed that the fit is a bit too snug."

9-11 Patriotic program
In honor of the victims and survivors of 911 the San Rafael Studentbody is presenting a patriotic program. They are inviting all local law enforcement, fire fighters, search and rescue, EMTs, highway patrol, Veterans, servicemen in reserve, National Guard and interested citizens to attend the program. The assembly will be on Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. in the San Rafael Junior High gym in Ferron.
There will be a guest speaker, Charles Durrant, a former teacher at the school who has been to Iraq and Afganistan on active duty. The students will be writing the names of the victims of 9-11 on ribbons and they will tie these to the fence.
Visitors to the school will be invited to write a name and participate in this ceremony also. The students will be learning about 9-11 all week. They will watch a movie about 9-11 and learn of the victims. A special flag ceremony will also be presented at the school on Sept. 9. San Rafael invites the entire community to join them for this special memorial service. Call Dianne Butler at the school if you need additional information at 384-2335.

Oksana wore baby pink for her LP .... anyone else wearing pink this year? Rachael's SP costume is pink...
And they both used broadway type music. If Mao wears her usual SP dress, it is a lovely shade of pink.
Mirai and Rachael should be pleased with their underdog, "oh yeah, she's skating too" status. Less pressure. Can they pull a Hughes? Maybe!

Turns out Racheal is going back home....and then returning for the ladies SP
fromWhat's Rachael Flatt doing Monday? Flying home.
The reigning national champion is headed back to Colorado Springs for a few days. She will attend school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday -- flying back to Vancouver on Friday.
This seems rather silly. Flying and adjusting to the time (i know it is just a hour but still) twice? School? She is a second semester senior. The grades don't really count for all that much.
Whoa, what a strange decision by someone you'd think would be totally focused on fighting for the podium.
Maybe she wants to stick it to all those who are sick of hearing about her academic side.
Speaking from a kid who has 1 more AP then her, but 3 that are easy compared to AP Physics, which shes in, any missed school is incredibly annoying...2+ days of homework per day, plus if you get behind and you miss important stuff, it's basically extremely hard to catch up. So I understand her thinking...
but really? Come on. The olympics. You have them once every four years...not to mention the fact that ice is slippery, and you can reaaally easily not be at Sochi, whether it's due to injury or just a bad day at nationals, ie McL/Bru. I'd say screw school; its the olympics.
Well, Rachael's her own person, that's for sure.
Who knows, it might be the best thing - it seems that having a normal life helps keep her on top. This way she'll stay calm and won't obsess.
The only way Rachael Flatt wins a medal is if the other skaters implode. They would have to have very bad skates for her to have a chance. She needs to work on her presentation, posture, spiral...........
Wait. Whaaaat?Japan's Mirai Nagasu ...
Oh, NBC, how you've failed on so many levels.
btw, if Sasha and Irina did not implode in Torino, would Shizuka have won? I don't think it matters. It's all about what the judges say during a particular competition.
It's not unusual for the unexpected to happen. Think Irina, Kwan, and Sarah.

Chapter 24
Angels announce the resurrection of Christ—He walks on the Emmaus road—He appears with a body of flesh and bones, eats food, testifies of His divinity, and promises the Holy Ghost—He ascends into heaven.
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6 He is not here, but is
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words,
9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
13 ¶And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they
16 But their eyes were
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 ¶And as they thus spake, Jesus himself
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself:
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

I can't say one particular program hooked me in, but Kristi's dress and spins got me watching.
I can't say one particular program hooked me in, but Kristi's dress and spins got me watching.
The 1st skating I can remember watching is Scott Hamilton 1984 Olympics due to the hype - however, I didn't understand why he won LOL. Surprisingly, Torvill & Dean's Bolero captured me enough so that I continued to watch skating, even though they 'retired'.
Then G&G made me a fan if pairs. Also watched the Zayak vs Sumners years for the US ladies title. Battle of the Brians made a fan of men's skating. Kristi was probably the 1st lady that I was really a fan of, although I enjoyed watching Zayak vs Sumners, prefereed Caryn Kadavy over Trenary, etc.
I liked skating before I really knew any skaters or programs. What kick-started my love for the sport in childhood was Calgary in 1988, specifically both Brian LPs and Elizabeth Manley's LP.
I dont remember the first program I ever saw that made me an fs fan but I remember the last one that made me almost a non fan
First big competition I sat and saw was 1998 worlds and the first I actually knew what I was looking at was Euros 1999 but if I squeeze my mind this is the first program that comes in mind from Olys 1998 without knowning who they were, and I have also an abstract memory of Kulik and Grishuk/Platov but cant recall anything else than the impression I got for her hair. Which is funny that first programs to catch my attention were ice dance that I dont have a big interest anyway. I also have flashes of Grishuk/Platov doing an ex or program(also cause of hair) that she wore something like a circus dress cause I remember assuming this was circus show but I dont know from when is this or if it was them.
I became a figure skating fan just because I studied ballet growing up so predictably figure skating was my favorite sport to watch at the Olympics.
It took a long time before I truly started paying attention to figure skating in between Olympics.
I do remember the run-up to the 1994 games (duh) and the run up to the 1998 games. I remember reading a lot about the Michelle Kwan-Tara Lipinski rivalry and remember reading a Washington Post story about how Tara fell at nationals and Michelle won her title back. (I didn't watch nationals.) That article said something about how Michelle had been the superior skater all along despite her rough 1997 season. I didn't know nearly enough about skating to know who was superior to whom. But I remember thinking, Tara's going to win the Olympics. I really did. I just had this feeling, reading about Tara and learning her story, that she was going to pull it out at the Olympics and win no matter what. I wasn't surprised at all that she won but I also wasn't in tune with all the insidery predictions back then.
From there, it really progressed. I think I started getting more into figure skating watching Michelle AFTER the 2002 games. She just kept winning all these national titles and breaking records and I started really following her career and her skating. Michelle is the one who made pay attention to nationals and worlds.
But there IS one program that finally got me completely hooked. And it's this one:
I had never seen anything so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. It was pretty much all over for me after that.
Okay. You are making me feel old, Silverlake. Born in the 1990s...Mao Asada "The Last Emperor". I first became interested in this girl because I am also born in September 1990, and I heard this kid was a phenom, so I watched her performance at the JGPF and was hooked. Then I realized Yuna was also born in September 1990 and became a fan of her (at 2004 JGPF she wasn't nearly as good as Mao, but in the next year she improved so much). It's funny too because I've always been the same height as those two as well, since they were like 13, so it's kinda fun to watch them grow up.
Tara and Michelle are more my generation.

Born in the 1990's here too XD
Anyways, for me it started with Michelle in 2002. As an artist, I've always had had an affinity, an attraction to sports with some artistic elements in it (i.e. gymnastics, figure skating, etc). So naturally, I was drawn to figure skating. At the time though, when I watched MK, my first reaction was "hey she's Chinese too!" XD As shallow a reason as that was, MK was the reason I got into figure skating; her skating was just beautiful and stunning and just heart stopping But after a while... as a kid with a short attention span and school eating up her time, I lost interest and moved onto other things (art, ANIME XD, etc).
Come 2009, February. And Yu-na. As a Kpop fan, I saw her name quite a few times in news article and one day, out of sheer curiosity, looked her up on YT. And suddenly, I was hooked. And once more, I fell for figure skating, but this time, a bit older and with a *hopefully* longer attention span, it griped me like nothing else. From Yu-na, I expanded my watchlist to other skaters and as such, am still catching up on old classics (i.e. Kristi Yamaguchi, John Curry, Kurt Browning, Katarina Witt, etc). And it's been that way since Feb. :3
Yeah, that's pretty much how it worked for me, too. Once I was an adult I started paying attention more. (Only for me that well pre-dated the rise of Yuna. )
But if you had asked me in high school/college to name a few figure skaters I probably would have said Kristi, Nancy, Tonya, Oksana, Tara, and Michelle. And for the oldies I probably would have been able to name Katarina, Dorothy, and Scott Hamilton (thanks to his professional career.) Oh yeah, and Nicole Bobek because of that Campbell's soup commercial, which you are probably too young to remember

My story mirrors Lilith and Layfan's. I started with Kristi Yamaguchi and Midori Ito, when they competed together...and Olympia's post in the "Signature Programs" thread reminded me of Kurt Browning's Singin' in the Rain which was another early hit in my childhood. Then I got interested in other things for a while--casually watching the Olympics now and then--until I experienced a renaissance when YuNa came around (Roxanne.)
I think YuNa and Mao brought about a skating renaissance for a lot of people. After Turin, many dominant female skaters stepped out of the spotlight. It happened that pairs also seemed to enter a holding pattern at the time. By coincidence, neither the U.S. nor Russia had any truly gifted ladies to take the place of those leaving. The thing is that YuNa and Mao aren't just good: they're great. If you hadn't watched skating before and weren't aware of these ladies' place in the field of competitors, you'd still be impressed by their performances and abilities. So they would bring a lot of people into skating, or back into skating. We were lucky that both of them showed up and hit their peak just now, when skating was kind of drifting in some ways, especially with all the confusion about CoP. Imagine how lucky we are to have people who can jump well enough (in different ways) to rack up points and yet can express artistry! In a way, YuNa and Mao validate the CoP system itself. If the only people who could keep up were technicians like Rachael, things would be very different.
Lols layfan; in a lot of ways, I envy that you discovered FS earlier on, while it was under 6.0 For one, I have a feeling I missed a lot of amazing/great skating; I only followed the Kween for a year or two O.o And erm... who was Nicole Bobek lols? I feel very un-edcuated now >.<

Pink Friday; Album and Songs
All discussions about Pink Friday and/or songs of the album go in this topic.
Nicki Minaj; "Bad bitches like me its hard to come by!" MDE [FM] #TeamMinaj
Thing is... they're not JUST songs.
They have implications and impacts beyond music.
If you're going to talk the talk, walk it too. Rap has girls turning against each other when they should be helping each other out.
When you let lyrics like fag and violence towards women hit the masses, you fucking better know the implications and consequences of that. It perpetuates much more than JUST a song.
Like I said, I LOVE Nicki. I can listen to stupid music. My issue isn't really with her, I guess. It's more with her tolerance of homophobia and misogyny. She says she doesn't want to be objectified, yet stands amongst those who do just that.
I like how she owns who she is and that she doesn't want to be some stupid ass's sex object. She's more about her flows and her wigs and her aesthetic than catering to the boys.
Still... anyone else?
i think around 200-250k , i want her to do 300k *crosses fingers*
what about yall :)?

To people who say I 'overdo' Christmas by feeling it and looking forward to it all year, I say,
"I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays--let them overtake me unexpectedly--waking up some fine morning and suddenly saying to myself, 'Why, this is Christmas Day!'"
This quote is from David Grayson, but it sums up perfectly how I feel about Christmas: I do feel it all year, the spirit, the humanity, the kindness and love. The excitement... I drift welcoming into the holidays and though I look to it all year I turn around one day and say, "Why, it's here!". Just as I am tonight

In 1920, Berry's was joined by Hugh Rudd, a lover of Bordeaux and German wines. Such an essential part of the business, Hugh Rudd's name was officially added to the door when the firm became a limited company in the 1940s.
The Second World War raged on, and tragedy struck when two of the partners lost their sons: Francis Berry's son George Gilbert died leading a charge against in the enemy in North Africa; and Hugh Rudd's son Brian was killed in action in Italy at just 20 years of age.
No. 3 was never hit directly during the London bombings, though the top floors were badly burnt. The shop itself escaped too much damage thanks to the old wooden shutters which protected the shopfront. Years later, during the 2011 London Riots, these shutters were put to use for a second time (though, in my opinion, Pomerol probably wasn't on the agenda).
