U.S. Reversal on Vapor Canisters
Published: March 7, 1993
WASHINGTON, March 6— Reversing a position that had been taken by President George Bush, the Environmental Protection Agency says it will not appeal a court order requiring that new cars and light trucks be equipped with canisters to capture gasoline vapors.
"After a thorough legal analysis, E.P.A. has decided to recommend that the court's ruling not be appealed," the environmental agency said in a statement issued Friday.
The recommendation now goes to Justice Department lawyers who represented the Bush Administration in the court case. But as a practical matter, the environmental agency's decision means there will be no appeal.
At issue were canisters, known as onboard refueling vapor recovery systems, that were to be installed on cars and light trucks beginning in the 1996 model year by order of the environmental agency. The canisters are intended to trap hydrocarbon vapors that escape during gasoline refueling and contribute to smog.
But four days before the Michigan primary election last March, Mr. Bush announced that auto makers would not be required to install the devices after all. The Bush Administration said then that its move would help relieve the regulatory burden on the auto industry, which had complained that the canisters would add an average of $17 to the cost of each new car.
Environmentalists argued that Mr. Bush's action was a violation of the Clean Air Act of 1990, which, they said, specifically required that all new cars be equipped with the canisters by the end of the decade.
In January, a Federal appeals court sided with Mr. Bush's opponents, saying his Administration's move to block the regulation "was beyond the pale of its statutory authority."
The environmental agency will now provide a period for public comment, as is customary with new regulations, before issuing a final rule requiring the canisters.

Safe Food Production Queensland (SFPQ) is a statutory body, established under the Food Production (Safety) Act 2000. SFPQ reports to the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries.
SFPQ regulates the primary production and processing of meat, eggs, dairy and seafood in Queensland.
We work to:
- ensure that Queensland's food production systems meet national food safety standards
- ensure that consumers have confidence in the food produced in this State.
In practice, this means introducing industry-based food safety programs that cover the span of primary produce processed in Queensland.
SFPQ has been operating in the challenging environment of managing food safety risk since 2000.
Collectively, we have hundreds of years of experience in dealing first hand with the business of food the people, the processes and products and how these elements fit together to make food safe.
The State Regulatory Framework
Each state and territory has adopted a different approach to achieving consistent food safety outcomes. Queensland has adopted a virtual food safety agency approach, whereby three government agencies work together to regulate food safety (SFPQ, QH and DAF).
The day-to-day regulation of primary production and processing is the responsibility of SFPQ. The legislation focuses on the food safety management of meat, eggs, dairy and seafood. It also provides a framework to address emerging issues that may impact on food safety.
SFPQ complements QH's activities by managing food safety matters relating to the production and processing of primary produce.
Each agency is committed to maintaining Queensland's reputation for providing safe and suitable food for both human and animal consumption. The goals of this multi-agency approach are to explain in simple terms Queensland's food safety regulation model; improve collaboration between regulatory partners; introduce practical reforms and reduce any potential overlap of agency efforts to improve the delivery of minimal, yet effective regulation.
The SFPQ Engagement Model
SFPQ works to reduce the impost on business through developing cooperative working relationships with business whereby accreditation holders and SFPQ agree to and share the principles of:
- Awareness of food safety requirements including the legislation and how it affects the result in food safety and the success of the business.
- Provision for food safety controls and measures as evidenced by HOA's compliance instruments e.g. food safety program and across the board in business documentation and practices.
- Commitment to implementing and maintaining the first two principles as demonstrated by the way food safety knowledge is actioned in the business and passed on to staff and customers.
Our values
The fundamental beliefs of the people within our organisation. They guide our actions and behaviours, while influencing the way we work with each other and the way we engage with our stakeholders and the community. These behaviours underpin SFPQ as a responsive, innovative and dynamic organisation, driven by strong cultural values and a dedicated professional team.
We value our reputation for integrity and independence. We are constantly striving to uphold the highest professional standards, provide sound advice and rigorously maintain our independence. We will walk the tal even during the most challenging of times. We will always strive to do what is right.
Family happiness
We are committed to ensuring a safe, supportive and healthy working environment which supports work/life balance.
Economic security
We provide our staff with a stable income and the resources to support them now and into the future. We have a responsibility to deal fairly, openly and honestly with each other and to review, challenge and improve work practices and processes.
We honour our promises and always act with integrity towards each other and our stakeholders. We foster continuous improvement and make decisions objectively to enhance the credibility of SFPQ. We seek out responsibility and are accountable for our actions.
We achieve our goals by being innovative, creative and responsive in the way we think, act and learn. In overcoming challenges, we expand capabilities to achieve appropriate quality outcomes and success.

The new and improved concussion thread
The NHL is actually way behind on this.
Cascade's project, fronted by Mark Messier, has been working on head injuries for a while now. From that site there are a lot of good links about conferences and articles done involving concussions and the Messier Project itself.
I actually got a chance to interview Messier about this. He explained that they have a full plan for out-reach. I know some NHLers are wearing the M11 helmet already (according to him, and I'm not sure who), and I recently received some releases about Harvard University wearing them as a team.
When I talked with Messier I asked him if he felt the NHL was dragging their feet in all of this. He said that there would be stuff coming from the league in the near future. I assume some of this is what he meant.
If you want some more information I'd be happy to supply it.
I have been talking about this until I'm blue in the face. The NHL needs to outlaw hits to the head legal/illegal. I think it's going to take a BIG name to get hurt really bad before anything is done.
I'd support that (speaking as someone who has ten diagnosed concussions). And by "illegal", I mean suspensionable.
There would still have to be discretion, because otherwise a team could do set something up intentionally - for instance, Martin St. Louis is short enough that he could skate near Zdeno Chara's arm, and then extend his head into Chara's arm - just to get a suspension for Chara. So there will always be gray areas, and there has to be discretion, but I agree with the goal.
I think they should focus on regulating shoulder/elbow pads.
The comparison between now and even ten years ago is night and day. They need to limit the hard plastic on shoulder/elbow pads.
If everyone had shoulder pads like Shanahan, there would be a lot less head injuries.
There's already a thread on Messier's helmet (and who's wearing it).
HITS is a very interesting system because it doesn't just track the big blows that we think of a concussion-causers, but it also tracks the strength and effect of all the legal, smaller hits sustained during a practice or a game. There's a lot of data that say concussions are cumulative, and HITS is trying to answer if receiving a lot of little blows to the head from bodychecks on the wall is as dangerous as the one shoulder to the chin.
The answers they've come up with (primarily using football research) is that it might be better to absolutely minimize hitting in practice because hits there make players much more vulnerable to sustaining concussions from even a medium-level hit in a game.
I don't put as much stock in Messier's take since he's actively trying to sell a helmet. I'm sure he means well, but anyone who's selling a product automatically takes a small credibility hit with me.
In the never ending saga of concussions
The family of Bob Probert donate his brain to researchers
2010 Fall GM Meetings
Concussions - NHL reviewing "early returns" at the meetings
Is it worth it for a player to return from injury without being totally healthy (as is often done in playoffs with many having continuing health issues through summer and some into the fall).
300 athletes have agreed to annual testing and to donate their brains at death to continue the study, especially long term, of concussions. One thing they are looking for is signs of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
Including Keith Primeau.
New blood test can identify brain trauma (like concussions).
Mayo Clinic to hold summit looking into hockey concussions, especially the impact on kids.
I can relate all to well with this, as I myself have had a couple of pretty good concussions from playing hockey.
hope they can find a way of improving equpiment to help better prevent the occurances of concussions.
maybe they can eventually find a way to better treat them after they have happened too.
I would love too see that as well.
USA Hockey on the concussion summit (today 10/19 and tomorrow)
PD summarizes Mayo summit, where it was suggested that NHL should ban **all** hits to the head.
MLB considering 7-day IR for all concussions.
You cannot be too careful with concussions.
With all of the info available we still are hearing from the people who think it's OKAY to blast a guy in the head. Do we need a death on the ice to get the point across?
Roenick talks about the 13 (or more) concussions and efforts in the NHL and NFL for concussions protection. (Leagues may have to protect players from themselves as they have a "warrior" mentality and refuse to let a "little" thing keep them from playing.)
HNIC emphasizing concussions today/night.
NFLPA statement
The obvious question is why are flimsey little half helmets allowed in a contact sport with speeds reaching over thirty miles an hour?
The "Messier" helmet, lauded as a major innovation seems best suited to covering baldness. Don't think so? I propose a test; put on the latest, greatest hockey helmet and I will attack you with a bat.
If you think I am being facetious, I am not. The impacts absorbed by players easily reaches the levels of an attack with a bat.
The NFL has approached the same problem seriously and adopted real rules regaurding the helmet. Newer helmet designs result in less injuries. Until the NHL approaches the problem seriously there won't be any improvement in safety.
Real helmets cover the entire head and dissapate energy. They are heavy. They are hot. They save lives.

It being nearly the end of the year, there is just time for one last visit in 2006 to the United Deities. (The United Deities, of course, is the gathering of gods past and present who sit in judgment on our efforts to keep the planet from disaster.)
Here are some of the minutes from their current meeting:
1. The chairgod said that as it was almost the last day of the Christian year 2006, there had been a suggestion that they should discuss the events of the year and evaluate what progress humans had made.
2. The Jewish God groaned and said that as far as he could see, humans never made any progress. They simply made better gadgets with which to carry out the same old inanities.
3. As for the events of the year, he could not remember anything that had happened this year which was any different from any other year.
4. He did not want to get involved in a discussion of the events of the year if it was going to end up like one of those dreadful quizzes they had in newspapers at the end of each year, seeing if readers could remember the stuff that had been in the newspapers.
5. The Catholic God said that for once he agreed with the Jewish God. One of the great advantages of the gods all being omniscient was that they couldn't have quizzes, as if they did, all gods would get all the answers right and there would be no winners.
6. The Roman god Mercury said he had a suggestion. If a gods' quiz about past events was impossible, why did they not have a quiz about the future?
7. They could all make predictions about the next twelve months, and in a year's time they could check the results to see who had got the most things right.
8. The chairgod said he had a terrible suspicion that some of the gods could actually see into the future and would be at an unfair advantage.
9. Jove said he knew the chairgod was going to say that. (Laughter)
10. Mercury wanted to know who these gods were who could foretell the future.
11. The chairgod said that he had always had the impression that the Roman god Janus had the ability to look forward and back at the same time.
12. Mercury said that, as Janus was not present, he could testify that even for another god it was very disconcerting meeting with Janus, as you never knew which face to talk to, or whether he was coming or going. And you could not talk about him behind his back.
13. Zeus asked if a god with two faces, like Janus, had the same expression on both faces at the same time, or if he could smile with one and frown with he other.
14. Mercury said that he did not know, as he could only see one face at a time. You would need two gods to do the experiment, one standing in front, one behind, each reporting to the other on what he could see.
15. The chairgod said that if this was the best they could do for a discussion of the year's events, they should pass on. Before they did so, however, had anyone any comments on the new expression CE (Common Era) which seemed to be replacing AD (Anno Domini) everywhere?
16. Jupiter said it was a sad day when any Latin expression was lost. He had spoken Latin fluently in his youth and thought it was a fine language.
17. The Catholic God said he thought that CE and BCE was a load of nonsense. Common Era? What did that mean? What was common about it? It was just a gesture to pacify non-Christians.
18. The Jewish God said that he could never see the point of measuring time from the birth of Jesus, who, from all he heard, was not that interested in science anyway.
19. The chairgod said that he was not at all impressed by the standard of debate so far, and hoped they would do better with the next item on the agenda, which was the regular request from Lucifer, Prince of Darkness, to be allowed to attend these meetings.
More of this some other time...Reuse content

I just read your story it was great.

I loved your story, couldn't stop after chapter 1. Loved the part you made Sam one of the "good guys", cause I never really liked him, until now.
| immortalwizardpirateelf-fan chapter 8 . 9/16/2005
Very very interesting little crossover. I like the way how you set it up that the Center wiped Miss Parker's memories and replaced them with Lydia's...my question is why? Did Mr. Parker have a sudden feeling of guilt and when the real Lydia died took the opportunity to let Miss Parker have a real life? Or was it all for an experiment?
| Sango2 chapter 8 . 2/5/2005
Good story. ;)
| pretender fan chapter 8 . 2/3/2005

| Working Girl chapter 7 . 2/3/2005
Your not really you, but your dead twin sister, who is dead? OK...Im blowing out a brain cell (and I don't have many to spare) having to think this one over!LOL
Great story, and lets hope that Lydia won't forget the feelings she has for Jarod when and IF she does turn back into Miss Parker! Maybe it's better if Lydia stays Lydia, and Parker remains dead. That way all the pain she went through as a young girl will be forgotten and she can start over new with Jarod.
Love this story, and post more SOON!
| Brandy chapter 7 . 8/25/2004
You updated! This was a great chapter! I knew that lydia was actually parker and that the centre screwed with her memory. That was perfect! Great twist! I can't wait to see what happens when Parker gets her memory back and I hope that she remembers her feelings for J. This story keeps getting better and better! Please update soon! Lydia/Parker was so sweet and cute with J in this chapter as well, worried that he won't love her...aw...More more more!
| Bindid24 chapter 7 . 8/24/2004
Great chapter. Can't wait to fing out if Lydia is Parker. Update ASAP! please
| Joy chapter 6 . 7/31/2004
How close. I'm terrible at waiting during cliffhangers. But, you are doing a good job. I'm glad Jarod decided to stay another night. I was wondering was he ever going to show her at least one DSA. Thanks, and happy writings.
| HERTZ chapter 6 . 7/31/2004

up date son plz.
im waiting to the next chapter ;)
| Brandy chapter 6 . 7/29/2004
*Must hurt you* How can you leave us there! I definitely gasped at the end? Questions are everywhere in my mind? Did Parker loose her memory and think that she is lydia? Did the centre re-educate her/Miss Parker and kicked her out of the centre? Anything close? Am, I warm or cold? Please update soon! This is a great story and I can't wait for the next update! )
| Bindid24 chapter 6 . 7/29/2004
I'm almost off the deep end. Find Parker soon. I have a question for you, Do you think Parker would get jelaous of Jarod and Lydia being together...as friends?
| Fireness chapter 6 . 7/29/2004
Hurry hurry hurry!
| Brandy chapter 5 . 7/13/2004
I just finished reading this whole story and I'm liking it alot. I was devestated at first when I thought that MP was dead. So did the centre wipe away her memory and she thinks that she's Lydia when she's really Parker? I'm totally intrigued and greg was an ass, I'm glad that J got her away. Please write more soon.

Pulpit Rock before sunset
In March 2013, I organised a photo shoot with a group of folks whom I had never met before in real life, but had connected with on Google+. We met at Cape Schanck with the intention of photographing Pulpit Rock, and then doing some night-time photography. This is one of the images that I captured that evening. It was around 8:00pm on a March evening. The things that I looked for were low tide, a mostly clear sky, and a new moon. All three of these conditions aligned (which is a lot harder than you would imagine).
This image was captured using my Canon 5D Mark II with an ND400 filter, while the sun was dying. The 30-second exposure at f/22 turned the breaking waves into mist. This is a commonly achieved effect that really used to throw me off when I had first started out with photography. It now comes to me as second nature.
The Pagoda in the City in the Nan Lian Gardens
What are the odds of finding something like this in a megacity? This is the red pagoda in Hong Kong's Nan Lian Gardens. Getting there is easy via a short train ride to the Diamond Hill train station, and then a quick walk across the road which will get you here. Hong Kong usually doesn't have skies as clear as this. During my visit there was a rather large storm was brewing in the South China Sea which cleared the skies.
While one may be fooled into believing that this garden is ancient, it was a joint project of the Chi Lin Nunnery and the Hong Kong Government which opened to the public in 2006. The garden covers three-and-a-half hectares of open space and is designed in a style consistent with the Tang Dynasty, with hills, fountains and cascades, and traditional style wooden structures laid out amid the trees and rock gardens. If you're in Hong Kong, I would definitely recommend a visit here.
The Heartbeat of Melbourne
Sometimes you come away with an image that just seems to say everything about a place. This was a shot that I took around March 2013 during a walk back from work one Friday. I had been working late, and with sun starting to go down earlier, I had come across perfect twilight conditions in front of Flinders Street Station. I stopped on the new island tram stop that had just been installed and looked up the street – and I saw this coming together. People were coming and going about their business; several of them were making their way home after having caught up for after-work drinks with colleagues. Tourists from out of town were taking in the city, and young families were taking in a beautiful evening. To me, this signified the very essence of life in Melbourne, and its appeal to both those who live here, as well as those who visit here.

You Are In the Spirit
Mind Set on the Spirit
Life Set on Righteousness
2. Spirit's part is to make us complete, whole, God's
Dwelling in God
- Not just following the rules, "Grace beyond Belief"
- Not just accepting Christ, "the uttering of the prayer or confesstion"
- It is the "carrying the cloke as well,"completeing the Spiritual Circuit,
- Devotion to Serve in the Spriit. IT MORE THAN 'MY' SALVATION, Our Salvation
- fulfilling our purpose, of being light in the darkness for others.
- living in the promised land, as a model/lighthouse for others
John 4:10-14 Spiritual Thirst
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, "Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?" Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life." [NRSV]
Give me a drink:
Give us this day our daily bread. Our bodies need water each day. The proper amount to remain hydrated is varried, but if the general consensus is that our bodies are 50%-70% based on many factors.
Water serves multiple purposes:
- Water is the primary building block of cells.
- It acts as an insulator, regulating internal body temperature. This is partly because water has a high specific heat, plus the body uses perspiration and respiration to regulate temperature.
- Water is needed to metabolize proteins and carbohydrates used as food. It is the primary component of saliva, used to digest carbohydrates and aid in swallowing food.
- The compound lubricates joints.
- Water insulates the brain, spinal cord, organs, and fetus. It acts as a shock absorber.
- Water is used to flush waste and toxins from the body via urine. ref
I have no bucket
Jesus knows that this woman has no bucket, because of the time of day and the lack of others at the well.
Well of Jacob – promised land: Spiritual water – a promise of eternal home.
Gushing up to eternal lifestyle not still water waiting in a well, but living water moving toward us.
What does it mean to spiritually thirst?
Spiritual thirst is the underlying motive that people have to seek after God, to start and continue their search for God.
It could be guilt over sin, it could be a longing for honest community, it could be guidance and direction, among some ideas.
It could be a stark realization that the person has made a giant mess of their life. Driven hard, past empty and now stuck.
Quenching our Spiritual Thirst
- Living Water is the Building Block of our spiritual self
- Living Water protects and insulates us in times of temptation and testing.
- Living Water helps us digest, understand and apply scripture.
- Living Water lubricates when we get stuck, dry, worn out, afraid.
- Living Water flushes sin out of our systems and spirits.
- Living Water is bottled, distributed and provided by God as a living presence in our lives.
So What?
- Drink Up! Don't be spiritually dehydrated
- Look To Jesus and the church for the Bucket!
- God desires to reach out to our spirit and make us whole.
- If you find someone needing access to the well, lead them to Living Water.
1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Divided? Power in the Cross
Posted by myoikos in #2017, #cross, 5 Practices, Christian LIving, Disicpleship, Forgiveness, Hope, Jesus, Politics, Preparation, Prophets, Sacrifice, Service, Suffering, Trust, Witness on January 22, 2017
Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters. What I mean is that each of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ." Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power. For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. [NRSV]
The World is divided
Politics, Religions, Football Teams and Left Twix or Right Twix. Have you tried having a meaningful conversation about the hot topics of the day?
- You either talk to no one and TRY to avoid the conversation and grow cynical and isolated?
- You surround yourself with like minded people for comfort and protection.
- We dare begin the conversation because we think we can change someone's mind and end up fueling fires we didn't intend to start or
- We love starting arguments because we enjoy bullying, shaming or agitating people.
I suggest we need to show the world an alternative to the division. Hear Paul's challenge and calling to do just that:
Paul writes at the opening of his letter.
- His first letter,
- his first matter,
- his most important point is about agreement and division.
He urges us to think about how we define ourselves.
- I'm one of Chloe's people
- I belong to Apollos,
- I belong to Cephas
- I belong to Paul
- I belong to the original member core
- I belong to the newbies
- I belong to this Preacher or that minister
- Well, I belong to Christ, with a self-righteous tone of judgment.
Paul's Letter begins with a Super Nanny Interruption.
You know the Super Nanny, that British nanny that sets up cameras throughout a frustrated parent-child home and observes and then lays down the new laws to correct the dysfunctional and divided family.
Paul's Letter begins laying the hammer down on what divides us.
- I will tell you what divides us?
- It is not Christ that divides us,
- WE divide ourselves
We are being called to take responsibility for what divides us.
- It's not social media
- It's not tv and politicians
- It's not elections and conversations
- It is what is cooking in our own hearts, mind and souls.
Paul's call is #1, first step
- Stop with the groupings.
- Stop with the interest groups.
- Stop with the privileged class, stop being in the victim group.
#2, Second Step: Remember the Goal,
- Agreement
- Same Mindedness
- Same Purpose
As an aside, one of the things I love about this passage is Paul's (wasteful misuse of paper in writing his rambling thoughts about who he did or did not baptize in the middle of a power challenge and stern instruction.)
Number #3, Step three
Personal Question of Faith and Self-Reflection
What does the cross of Jesus Christ actually mean to you and your life?
We are studying the Apostle's Creed as a historic listing of points about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the church. But there is a core question that is at the heart of any statement of beliefs:
What does the cross of Jesus Christ personally mean to you and your life?
When we have come clinging to the power of the death and resurrection as our only hope and salvation, then we have a place to reflect on our differences.
Facebook proves verse 18 to be true. "The cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but a power to those being saved."
When we start talking to another person, we might heart lovely words about Jesus, but sometimes the words are a
- noisy gong,
- empty platitudes,
- self-righteous memes, or
- "the correct answers, without listening to the questions."
Let's be clear about step #3:
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus died for all your mistakes, sins and failures?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Died for your times of pride and arrogance?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Offers himself in your place in judgment?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Promises to stand with you in the face of fear?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Promises to stand with you in the fiery furnace?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Gives your strength in the face of persecution when you are trying to be faithful to his example?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Encourage and empower you to see the best in others?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Divides us into groups, camps, parties, etc.?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Calls us to bully and shame one another as long as in his name?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Wants us to continue sinning and testing?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus Wants us to act nice when we are together, but ponder evil in our hearts?
- Does the cross of Jesus Christ mean that Jesus excuses us from avoiding evil and confrontation because we are uncomfortable?
- What power does the cross of Jesus give your daily life?
If you don't have an answer, then we have found our place to start.
We will not find agreement, one mind, one purpose until we find the POWER of the cross.
Paul calls on Chloe's people, people of Apollos, Cephas, Paul, Rock Spring, Peavine, D.C., Chattanooga, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, and every nation and tribe.
God offers us the power of true hope, complete salvation, and confidence to see a way out when we have closed our hearts, our minds, and doors.
If you are ready to claim the power of Jesus has for you, for our church, for our country, for a world hurting and divided. We let go of control and commit ourselves newly or renewed, Take my Life and let it be filled your power, your word, your love, your truth,
Your hope, Your Peace
And Jesus leads the way from there.
Paul's call here is for the faithful, the church, not the unbeliever. His task is to make sure the GOSPEL has a POWERFUL hold on our hearts.
Ask your neighbor: Do you know the Power of Jesus Christ
- IF they say yes, say praise the Lord
- If that say no or I'm not sure, say, let's talk
- If they don't say anything, then say, Today's the day to "get of the pot/fence" and live in Christ.
- When you hear division: Call on Christ to heal, protect and bring solutions.
- When you see chasms of thought: Think what does the Cross compel me to do or say.
- When you experience a brother or sister remaining quiet and not backing you up, ask them if they want to know more about Jesus or are in their silence are they choosing someone/thing other than Christ. Now is when the world needs the cross.
Titus 3:4-7 'Living the Good News'

Advice for 2017 from Paul through Titus
- Trust and Obey
- Ready for Good
- Avoid Fussing
- Be Gentle
- Courtesy to everyone
Q: How different 2016 would have been if we Trusted God, obeyed authorities, lived expecting Good, avoided fussing, acting out of gentleness, and showed courtesy to all?
But How? Jesus is How!
Know the story:
- God is good, loving and kind
- God showed up as Jesus
- Through Jesus, God saves us from sin
So What, Footnotes:
- Note 1: God's actions have nothing to do with our worthiness
- Tell you neighbor: "I'm not worthy. You're not worthy. We are not worth it, but God loves us anyway.
- Note 2: through baptism, we find the rebirth and renewal of God's gift through the Holy Spirit.
- Ask you neighbor: "I want the Holy Spirit to make me new." "Fix me, forgive me, make me whole!"
- Summary: The Spirit is poured out on us, richly, through Jesus who makes us whole through God' s grace which makes us kin to Jesus, belonging to the ongoing work of God from now and forever.
- Join hands with your neighbor and lift hands to Jesus: "I have holes in my heart, in my track record and I want you to make me holy, whole and new.
Memory Verse for 2017
The Good News for 2017: But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. [Titus 3.4-7]
- By the end of the year, you will know this very my memory, you will know it by heart.
- By the end of the year, you will learn to share this verse with many other people.
- By the end of 2017, you will be known as a witness of Titus 3.4-7
- By the end of the year, you will experience what it means to be gravy coated and ready for the heavenly banquet that we share here on earth and for eternity.

Advent: Series RECLAIMING CHRISTMAS
"ReClaiming Christmas: The Unexpected Gifts
A Look at the gift that is missing from Christmas, and why.
"But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left. Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour. [Matthew 24:36-44]
ReClaiming Christmas: The Christmas Cards
A Season of Sharing the Story, "The John The Baptist Collection" of Cards: Repent, You Brood of Vipers,
In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, ""Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."" This is the one of whom the prophet Isaiah spoke when he said, ""The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.'"" Now John wore clothing of camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then the people of Jerusalem and all Judea were going out to him, and all the region along the Jordan, and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, ""You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruit worthy of repentance. Do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ""I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."" [Matthew 3:1-12]
ReClaiming Christmas: Why Celebrate Jesus
Why Care About the Reasons for the Season
"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."" [Luke 1:46b-55]
Reclaiming Christmas: Christmas Delivery
Will the gifts we share bring hope, life and joy?
Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ""Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."" All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ""Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,"" which means, ""God is with us."" When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus. [Matthew 1:18-25]
Isaiah 12:1-6 "God Be in Me" 20161113
Posted by myoikos in Citizenship, God, government, Grief and Loss, Patriotism, Putting God First, Sin, sinner, Spiritual, Trust, Witness on November 13, 2016
You will say in that day: I will give thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, and you comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the LORD GOD is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation. With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And you will say in that day: Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations; proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth. Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. [NRSV]
We have collectively experienced a physical, emotions, spiritual and social wrenching that has come to a crescendo this week.
Some of the most hateful, intolerant and hard-hearted words have been spoken about the election in the past seven days.
- Some have been riding on a seemingly, unending roller coaster that did not stop where it started.
- Others are grieving, spiraling, and building a strong case of depression
- while others have begun acting out of anger, which never leaders to safety, tolerance, and peace.
- Still others have remained silent and afraid to speak, for fear of ridicule.
It is time for us to HEAR the words of God's prophet.
- God is my salvation.
- I will trust and not be afraid
- The Lord is my strength
- With Joy, draw water from the well of salvation.
- Give Thanks to the Lord, call his name, make his deeds known among the nations.
- Proclaim and exalt God's name.
- Sing Praise to the Lord,
- Tell the world how glorious God is,
- Shout aloud and sing for Joy, God is with us.
It is time for us to SHARE the words of God's prophet.
- Salvation is found in God, not our government
- Trust God and do not be afraid
- Find your strength in the Lord
- Draw on God's joy when yours is missing
- This is a great time to look for and give witness to God in the world.
- Sing praises to God to remind us who leads this world
- Talk of good that God has done for us and the good God will do through us
- Shout loud and Sing the Good News: God is with us.
It is time for us to LIVE the words of God's prophet.
- Our neighbors are divided and God is counting on us to salvation
- There are people in our workplaces that have lost truth and trust,
- Don't ignore fears, but don't be turned to anger and wrath, Find strength in God, not politics.
- Make a withdrawal from God's account when ours is empty or draining.
- When we are divided is the clearest time to all move toward God.
- Sing praise to remind ourselves and others the God is speaking through us all.
- Talk of Good instead of evil. Speak of hope that is to be revealed.
- Shout, don't keep quiet, God is with us. God will save us. God will guide us
The Alternative is grim:
- Continue to hold government higher than God and we will surely fall apart.
- Count on our political powers to provide for every need and we have no need for God
- Find our strengths in our efforts, our wealth, our correct thinking, and our feelings and they will all fail
- Sing praises that are only pleasing and comforting and we will be alone
- Only talk about our point of view, our goodness, and correct thinking and we will see only ourselves
- Keep quiet about God and God will speak through someone else who will follow, trust and love.
Lord have mercy on me a sinner.
Lord have mercy on our nation and all the nations, for we are all sinners.
God be in my head, and in my understanding;
God be in mine eyes, and in my looking;
God be in my mouth, and in my speaking;
God be in my heart, and in my thinking;
God be at mine end, and at my departing. [Sarum Primer, 1558]

2 Timothy 2.8-15 Unchained Gospel 20161009 RSUMC
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David—that is my gospel, for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. The saying is sure: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself. Remind them of this, and warn them before God that they are to avoid wrangling over words, which does no good but only ruins those who are listening. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly explaining the word of truth. [NRSV]
The Title song, "Unchained Melody", of the 1955 movie Unchained has been sung and recorded by many different sings becoming a platnum recorded hit in both the US and UK. The list of singers included:
- Co-Authors: Alex North and Hy Zaret
- Les Baxter
- Roy Hamilton
- Todd Duncan
- Liberace
- the Righteous Brothers
- Elivs Presely
- Perry Como
- the Platters
- Roy Orbison
- Neil Diamond
- Barry Manilow
- And my others.
The original theme song captured the torn heart of a man who while in prison was pulled between escaping prison and serving his term to return to his love and family.
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, for your touch
A long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely mountains gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Waiting for the dawn of the day
All alone I gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Dreaming of my love far away
We live in a culture where it is easy to be torn between hearing the Gospel as a message that frees us to live for God while others hear it as exclusive words that harn and divide.
Each time you hear song, one of the most popular songs worldwide, in the 20th century, think of God singing it to the church.
- Time goes by so slowly, and time can do so much, Are you still mine?
- .. Wait for my, I"ll be coming home, wait for me. wait for me.
Paul again is sharing with Timothy, call him to remind the church to not be ashamed of the Gospel but live as a person who is free to live for God, even if you are in prison.
Think of all the reasons to keep silent? To escape the grace of the Gospel?
Remain Faithful.
If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful
Q: The Task for us to how to encourage one another in remaining faithful.
Actions over Words: The say is true and sure: Your witness may be the only Gospel someone reads.*
*Note the asterisk: I don't have to preach, teacher, prophet, or spokesperson as long as I am presenting myself as one who is freed in Christ, as one approved and accepted by God.
The (*) requires that we make sure know of the message has been received as intended.
Present Yourself as a Worker for God.
- "Dressed" for work that reflects God's grace. Not a church dress code, rather dressed to serve.
- "Dressed" to witness
- "Dressed" to represent God.
"Dressed" is an act of preparation:
Prepare not by having the right words, but the Godly actions
- am I prepared to love?
- am I prepared to forgive?
- am I prepared to lead others to Christ?
- am I prepared to feed, clothe and comfort?
- am I prepared to be persecuted, rejected, inconvenienced?
am I prepared to tell God's truth or my convenient version
The Path Taken
Whether broad or narrow: God is with us.
There be faithful in sharing the Gospel.
Last week I invited you to make contact and pray for someone
This week our homework is to prepare to show some part of the Gospel in our actions.
- Plan for it
- Expect God to send someone in your path
- Dress for the Gospel, live like you work for the Kingdom.
- Remember you are not chained but freed to love and live for Christ.
- Know you are free in Christ to set other free.
- Be ready to share what happens when you show your faith.
2 Timothy 1.1-14. Guard Good Treasure. 20161002 RSUMC
Posted by myoikos in #worldcommunion, Boldness, Communion, Love, Resurrection People, Witness, Worship on October 1, 2016
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, for the sake of the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I am grateful to God—whom I worship with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did—when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you. For this reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands; for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline. Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God, who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. For this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher, and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Guard the good treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us. [NRSV]
- God able, god is on duty, Holy Spirit is living and working
- The treasure is entrusted to you
- God Guards us, We guard the Good News
Ashamed of the testimony
- Remember the Treasure: Jesus appeared lived and died, Reborn resurrected to give light thru the gospel.
- Don't be ashamed of sharing the Good News
- Paul knew Timothy would hesitate at times, and Paul knew we, the church, would as well.
His Remedy:
Be rekindled
- Power and love, both hand in hand, not one without the other
- Power: Boldness,
- Love: Tenderness,
- Together each temper and strengthens the other
Laying on Of hands
Connection by Physically and Spiritual Connecting via "laying on of hands"
- Play your hand on someone's shoulder or head or take them by the hand
- In the strength of prayer and the compassion of love, tell them
- God loves you. Christ gave himself for YOU, God lives in your, Receive the power and love fo the Holy Spirit. Know these treasures and live your life sharing them with one another.
Connection physically and spiritual communion with Christ in bread and cup.
- Come to the table and be made new in Jesus Christ, and filled with God's Holy Spirit.
Luke 14:25-33 The Cost of Discipleship 20160904 RSUMC
Posted by myoikos in #2016, #costofdiscipleship, #cross, #forgiveness, #jesus, #mysundaysermons, #relationship, #sacrifice, bonhoeffer, Church, Communion, Disicpleship, Hope, Meaning, money, posessions, Preparation, Resurrection People, Sacrifice, Salvation, Service, Spiritual, Trust, Witness on September 3, 2016
Now large crowds were traveling with him; and he turned and said to them, "Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to ridicule him, saying, "This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.' Or what king, going out to wage war against another king, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty thousand? If he cannot, then, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for the terms of peace. So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions. [NRSV]
This test describes four points of discipleship: Family, Carrying the cross, Following through what we start, and Giving up possessions.
Bonhoeffer devoted much of his life to this text from Luke and we can learn from his faith investment for our own journey as disciples.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Apart from his theological writings, Bonhoeffer was known for his staunch resistance to the Nazi dictatorship, including vocal opposition to Hitler's euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of the Jews.[2] He was arrested in April 1943 by the Gestapo and imprisoned at Tegel prison for one and a half years. Later he was transferred to a Nazi concentration camp. After being associated with the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, he was quickly tried, along with other accused plotters, including former members of the Abwehr (the German Military Intelligence Office), and then executed by hanging on 9 April 1945 as the Nazi regime was collapsing. [Wiki]
- Discipleship: One who devotes one's life to following Jesus.
- To Disciples others: To invite, support, and equip/teach others how to follow Jesus.
- Q: If I am not a Disciple of Jesus, to whom/what do I devote my life?
The Rude Awakening: To be a disciple is to wager our own life, all our relationship, all our possessions and struggle toward the Spiritual person God wants us to become in a broken and sin-filled, hurting world.
In this season of political turmoil, we can easily find folks either sticking one's head in the sand OR being consumed by the drama. What are disciples to do in the next 64 days?
- By all means, be an informed voter and vote.
- By all means, trust that God will be your salvation and strength and not the government.
- By all means, study, pray and encourage those who choose blindness/ignorance to be informed and those consumed to evaluate what is most important in every day, not only election day.
- Seek God first, and all else will be revealed and added.
Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple:
The family is the core community in the human community. Jesus is calling us to compare our family of choice and our family of birth.
Just because we have people who are blood kin does not mean that they are living, acting, supporting, forgiving and trusting like our struggling faith family.
The community of the saints is not an "ideal" community consisting of perfect and sinless men and women, where there is no need of further repentance. No, it is a community which proves that it is worthy of the gospel of forgiveness by constantly and sincerely proclaiming God's forgiveness…Sanctification means driving out the world from the Church as well as separating the Church from the world. But the purpose of such discipline is not to establish a community of the perfect, but a community consisting of men [and women] who really live under the forgiving mercy of God."― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
Carry the Cross
To be a following of Jesus is to imitate what we see and hear Jesus doing.
When Jesus welcomed the marginalized, forgotten and excluded folks, he talked, ate, fellowshipped, touched, and healed them, AND he sent them to go and "Sin No More."
Following Jesus is both being touched and blessed by Jesus, but it is then our responsibility to become the new person that follows the new way of life in Jesus.
- To "Carry the Cross" is to feed people AND call people to be fed spiritually
- To "Carry the Cross" is to clothe people AND wrap them in spiritual encouragement.
- To "Carry the Cross" is to visit, stand with AND be Christ for someone
It is easy to carry the cross in symbolic ways, but it is ultimately allowing CHRIST to carry us on the cross.
Bonhoeffer: There is a way to measure if we are carrying the cross:
"The messengers of Jesus will be hated to the end of time. They will be blamed for all the division which rend cities and homes. Jesus and his disciples will be condemned on all sides for undermining family life, and for leading the nation astray; they will be called crazy fanatics and disturbers of the peace. The disciples will be sorely tempted to desert their Lord. But the end is also near, and they must hold on and persevere until it comes. Only he will be blessed who remains loyal to Jesus and his word until the end." ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
Finish what we Start
How many projects have been started at your house, shop, work, school, and life with great excitement and zeal, but when we meet resistance, a conflict of time, or lack of resources, or loss of focus, we lay it aside.
We know in our heads and hearts what following Jesus is about, doing it is where the power is found.
"So many people come to church with a genuine desire to hear what we have to say, yet they are always going back home with the uncomfortable feeling that we are making it too difficult for them to come to Jesus." ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
Give up Posessions
This is where we usually head out the door or start thinking about lunch or find some other explanation other than the obvious one.
Bonhoeffer helps us with a suttle difference about posessions and a life devoted to Christ.
"Earthly goods are given to be used, not to be collected. In the wilderness God gave Israel the manna every day, and they had no need to worry about food and drink. Indeed, if they kept any of the manna over until the next day, it went bad. In the same way, the disciple must receive his portion from God every day. If he stores it up as a permanent possession, he spoils not only the gift, but himself as well, for he sets his heart on accumulated wealth, and makes it a barrier between himself and God. Where our treasure is, there is our trust, our security, our consolation and our God. Hoarding is idolatry." ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
There is a falacy that giving our money away obsolves us from material management. Saving money to fund a life of service rather than a life of ease.
Wesley: Make all the money you can; save all you can; to do all the good you can.
Being a disciple is making a commitment that all that we have is God's and we are intrusted with the responsiblity of doing God's good work with all we have.
God knows we need material things, we living in the physical bodies God has made for us. Our bodies and things are not bad. BELIEVING they are our value, work and meaning becomes our God.
Cut it out because it too hard!
"Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and grace because it justifies the sinner. Above all, it is costly because it cost God the life of his Son: 'Ye were bought at a price', and what has cost God much cannot be cheap for us. Above all, it is grace because God did not reckon his Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered him up for us. Costly grace is the Incarnation of God." ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
The Hard life of Discipleship is Costly living.
"Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.
Costly grace is the treasure hidden in the field; for the sake of it a man will go and sell all that he has. It is the pearl of great price to buy which the merchant will sell all his goods. It is the kingly rule of Christ, for whose sake a man will pluck out the eye which causes him to stumble; it is the call of Jesus Christ at which the disciple leaves his nets and follows him.
Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock.
- Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow,
- and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ.
- It is costly because it costs a man his life,
- and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life.
- It is costly because it condemns sin,
- and grace because it justifies the sinner.
- Above all, it is costly because it cost God the life of his Son: "ye were bought at a price,"
- and what has cost God much cannot be cheap for us.
- Above all, it is grace because God did not reckon his Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered him up for us.
- Costly grace is the Incarnation of God."
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
- What do our relationships need most of all
- What does our daily life look like if not like Jesus
- What does our life feel like if we lay Christ aside for something new?
- Are we possessed by that which cannot love or save us?
What does it cost to not be a disciple?
- What does it cost to not seek a faith family's support
- What does it cost to not let Jesus shine and show
- What does it cost to stop in the middle the race?
- What does it cost to invest in that which cannot love?

SOMETIMES, we can get ourselves into difficulty while travelling. Things can occur that we many positively didn't devise and afterwards we need help.
Becoming profound while travelling isn't on everyone's bucket list. It wasn't on cave and still isn't … though I've been there. It happened to me. we finished a preference to have an abortion. Being a solo womanlike traveller in a nation that isn't my home and not carrying anyone with me: It was tough.
This is my story.
I found out we could be profound over a play of noodles. we was eating with a French lady I'd met progressing that day and was energetically tucking into my second helping. As we shoved a prolonged threads into my mouth she exclaimed, "Are we eating for dual or something?"
Part of me suspicion she was super slim and we was usually shamelessly eating though when we got behind to my hostel that night, we realised we was late.
At a time, we was mountainous by a north of Thailand on a motorbike. we wasn't too endangered and told myself that travelling was usually throwing my cycle off and to not worry about it. A integrate of days after we went to eat noodles again in another town.
This time, for some reason, no one would offer me. we was a usually white chairman there, my Thai was flattering many self-existent and people usually looked right by me. we got upset. Really upset. we usually cried and cried on a cement until a internal male saw me and demanded a seller feed me a noodles. What was always easy while travelling was unexpected removing harder.
I gathering by a north for a rest of a week. My behind hurt. we kept switching between revelation myself that it was duration cramps and afterwards that we was pregnant. we was a flighty yoyo and began pushing faster out of pristine disappointment and fear.
I went to temples a lot. we prayed and begged like a damaged record that we would be OK. Me and Buddha were good friends that week.
I finally got tighten to a place where we could buy a pregnancy test. we took it and a cold law was revealed. we can't unequivocally contend how we felt. In fact, we felt nothing. we usually now went into drudge mode.
I have never wanted children — we tell people that I'm too greedy to have children. we wish to be travelling until we can't. It's tough adequate perplexing to transport with a beloved (if we ever accommodate him), let alone a child. It sounds crazy to contend it though it distressed me that we couldn't take my designed moody to Myanmar: There were no termination services there.
Instead, we told a father, researched my options and requisitioned a moody to Cambodia, Siem Reap. we finished an appointment with an general reproductive medical organization and holed myself adult in a hotel feeling horribly sorry. we had to have an ultrasound and hear a helper 'congratulate' me.
I opted for a medical termination as we was usually 3 weeks pregnant. we swallowed those pills and usually waited. we had listened fear stories of a routine being intensely unpleasant though it wasn't.
Then we usually kept on going. we toured all a temples, carried on around a nation for a month on a motorbike, headed to Vietnam for 3 months. we didn't bewail my decision, we was positively relieved though it was impossibly tough nonetheless.
I would arise adult and realize that we could be profound though wasn't. It unequivocally strike me in Vietnam about dual months after what had indeed happened. Eventually, after a year, we couldn't do it any some-more and had to go behind to England for some respite.
When we did tell people what had happened, a response was, unfortunately, flattering negative. People couldn't understand: "You contingency have held something" / "How could we do that to yourself?" / "You're stupid" / "You weren't clever during all".
Men, in particular, were not empathetic. Part of me gets it. It's a formidable thing to respond to someone who tells we they were profound though motionless to have an abortion. People usually don't speak about it enough.
That's because we wanted to write this post and give as many information as probable if we find yourself in a identical situation. Do what is right for we and make a many of a support that is available.
I have put together termination options in any nation in Asia on my site. Use a hunt box to find your country. This apparatus includes countries that are deliberate to be a partial of Asia and Europe. All information is stream adult until May 2015 and will be updated regularly.
• Marie Stopes
I don't know what we would have finished but these guys. They yield a full operation of peculiarity reproductive and passionate health services. They yield entrance to protected termination services where it's legal, and post-abortion care.
• Women on Waves
The many comprehensive, extraordinary website ever. They have a protected online medical termination use and termination information for any country. They helped me immensely with this post. Women on Waves, we rock.
• Women on Web
A sister organization of Women on Waves. Another extensive and extraordinary website that can assistance we get termination pills online. It is an glorious source of support and information. Yet again, they rock.
CAN we TALK TO ANYONE?
A time like this is impossibly difficult, regardless of either we are certain about your preference or not. Sharing this conditions with others can assistance we think, plan, conduct and feel supported. This might be your best friend, your mom or a understanding phone call to an organisation. If we wish to get in hold and speak things through, these guys can help. If we don't wish to talk, that's totally OK too. Do what we feel is best.

Constitution type escape pod (2260s)

Alternate Reality
(split 2233)
(split 2233)
The Constitution-type escape pod was a type of escape pod used aboard Constitution-class starships.
History Edit
The USS Enterprise was equipped with this kind of pod in the dorsal sides of the secondary hull in 2263. They were used in the evacuation of the Enterprise during the Battle of Altamid in 2263. (Star Trek Beyond)
Kirk's dialog to Ensign Syl's party that they should get to an escape pod, not a Kelvin pod, would suggest that these type of escape pods were also present in the primary hull.
