Is Christmas in the air or what? Now that it's our second "winter" in Richmond we're used to the milder temperatures and the fact that some of our annuals are actually still blooming. But even though there's been no morning frost (let alone snow) as of yet, we still hear the Christmas songs on the radio and see the Christmas trees at Lowe's so we know that the 25th of December is just around the corner. And we've come up with a fun ornament theme for our tree this year that makes us feel mucho sophisticado: all silver. Not stuffy sterling silver ornaments or anything, just a firm rule that anything silver goes. We already

Full Laundry Makeover With 4 Simple Things
We created a clean, organized and functional laundry center that looks amazing on a serious budget. Here's what we did and how we did it.
Playing Architect With Floorplanner (Making 2D House Plans)
We've finally found a way to show off the changing layout of our house without actually inviting everyone over for a visit (although we're always happy to give tours). The other day I was browsing RemodelingMySpace.com and saw a link to some free (!!) software called Floorplanner, which they had reviewed as an easy-to-use tool for creating 2D house plans. They also showcase software like Plan 3D and Google SketchUp if you're looking to do more involved, 3D drawings. But I'm starting slow… Last night I cranked away on two very different floor plans: our old layout, and our almost-there new layout. Check each of them out below, but ignore the square footage and other
Special Delivery
The cabinets arrived yesterday. Woohoo! The initial excitement of seeing the Kraftmaid 18-wheeler roll up outside was momentarily replaced by a fear that we hadn't cleared enough temporary storage space for the boxes. Fortunately the truck wasn't full. But I can't say the same for our living room after the Kraftmaid guys finished moving box after box through the front door. So how does a box-filled living room turn into a cabinet-filled kitchen? First, our Home Depot project manager shows up today to inspect the delivery and make sure nothing is missing or damaged. Assuming nothing is awry (knock on wood- er, Thermofoil) the HD installer will start assembling the kitchen next Monday, Dec 3rd.
City Slickers
After sitting in 9.5 hours of holiday traffic, we're finally home from our whirlwind Thanksgiving weekend in New York. After a Thanksgiving gathering in Long Island followed by another family feast on Friday in New Jersey, we tackled New York City on Saturday to enjoy our old home turf. Between the two of us we lived in NYC for 8 years (in 10 different apartments and 3 different boroughs) before retreating south to my home state of VA. And the only time we lived even remotely close to each other was in Astoria, Queens. Which would've been great if we'd known each other then- and it hadn't been 2 years apart. Details, details… So we
Adding A Pendant Light To Create A New Eating Zone
Do you have a large living room that could accommodate a dining area? Just drop in a pendant light and add a dining table for a multifunctional space that looks like it belongs there.
Sittin' Pretty: We Bought A New Couch!
We ordered a new couch for the living room. And we can't wait to get it and replace our soon-to-be-repossesed loaner couch from John's sister. The only bad thing about the new living room couch is that it proves that we overpaid for our couch in the den. We got the den couch from Pottery Barn a few months ago in a time crunch. It's the most affordable and timeless model they offer (the PB Basic) and we even got it in the least expensive fabric option (gorgeous and dog-durable twill in a light tan color). We heard from our friend who works at the decorating magazine that Pottery Barn couches generally hold up a
Kitchen Indecisiveness (Picking Our KraftMaid Bel Air Cabinets)
Last week we got the call. Our cabinets are on their way! They're arriving on Monday the 26th- which means we're finally able to schedule all the installation details. So now it's looking like we'll have a kitchen before the end of the year. Happy New Year to us. When we first walked into Home Depot eons ago (i.e. September) we knew two things about our cabinets: we wanted white and we wanted KraftMaid. White because, duh, our dream kitchen says so. KraftMaid because our friend who works for a home decorating magazine swears by them. They're close to the most expensive cabinet brand both Home Depot and Lowe's carry, but Nancy Kulik CKD agreed
Richmond Gets Some TLC
As I type this we're watching a historic Richmond home undergo a dramatic restoration. TLC is airing a special episode of their "Flip That House" series (the first of its kind) called "Flip It Back." The hour-long special documents the historic renovation of a 19th-century folk victorian duplex in good ol' Richmond, Virginia. When the flipper bought it in 1999 it was only $11,000… and a crack house that was littered with "needles, condoms and porn" according to this article. Don't worry, the drug den is nowhere near our 'hood, it's closer downtown in an area called Union Hill that, according to this show, has the largest collection of folk victorians in the US. If
Make It Work
We took an old CD storage box and hung it on the wall in the bathroom to create a sweet little spot to store cotton balls and q-tips.
Finally Fall
Feels like it has taken a while for autumn to hit Richmond, but it's finally here in full force. Its late arrival probably means it won't be long 'til all the yellows, oranges and maroons are replaced with brown and more brown, so we were sure to capture the fall colors on film while we could. Enjoy!
Nice Birthday Suit
That's what people are gonna say when they see John wearing the new charcoal gray Banana Republic suit that I'm getting him for his birthday. That's right, John turned a ripe old 26 this morning, and I've picked out something fabulously practical (that suit) and something fabulously house-related (an amazing framed print). I actually found the print in a comedy of click through errors. I was on one site and clicked something only to find myself on allposters.com, which is where I saw a charming black and white photo of a couple kissing through the window of a subway. Not only is it gorgeous and graphic, it's super significant since we met and fell in
Updating Our Bathroom (Third Time's The Charm)
To be honest, our bathroom probably needs a total remodel (or at least a new tile job and sink), but we thought a refresher was all we could handle during our lengthy (and expensive) kitchen remodel. So we decided (well, I decided, and then coerced John) to paint the blue walls a soothing tan, and to graduate from a dorm room shower curtain (made of plastic) to a fancy-schmancy fabric one (in a grown up white waffle pattern). We also thought it was time to remove our beast of a medicine cabinet (which actually had two lights coming out of the sides of it like arms) and replace it with an updated medicine cabinet with
Cut It Out
In my recent quest to unearth some fabulous art for our achingly bare walls, I've discovered Robert Ryan, a Brit with some serious scissors skillz. His intricate paper cuttings have been seen everywhere from Vogue to your media cabinet (he's designed book covers, and even an album cover or two). And it's easy to see why everyone's enamored. Check out his disarmingly charming work here.
It All Falls Down
Consider it our home's hangnail. A big, ugly, rusting floodlight protruding off the back corner of our sunroom. A good idea in theory – cast light across the beautiful backyard, right? – but pretty crappy in reality. The thing buzzed like a giant, vibrating cellphone and the sickly blue light that it gave off was totally unnecessary (thanks to three other, more attractive lights in the back). In the 18 months we've lived here it's been used, um, never. Sunday morning = time for it to go. With my barely-tall-enough ladder I teetered while managing to unscrew it from the exterior wall and snip & cap the wire. But I couldn't reach the part where
Making A Mini Mudroom With Hooks & A Bench
We made a mudroom in an empty corner on the cheap and in only a few minutes. It really is easy and you can do it too!
This Really, Really, Really Old House
I surprised Sherry on Sunday with a day away from the 50-year history of house for the almost 300-year history of another. We spent the afternoon at Shirley Plantation, established in 1613 on the banks of the James River, just 30 minutes east of Richmond. Not only is it Virginia's first plantation, but it's the oldest family-owned business in North America. It's also a pretty cool place to poke around on a sunny, fall afternoon. They don't allow photos inside the main mansion (where the 11th generation of the family still lives), so we can't show you the crazy "flying staircase" or ornate moldings and windows. But we did catch plenty of moments around the
Turning Vacation Photos Into Art
With a house full of newly painted neutral walls, we're psyched to have plenty of rooms begging for some art. So hopefully you'll start to see several posts about good artsy-fartsy finds. We're starting with a John & Sherry original. When we went on our Alaskan honeymoon in July we took tons of memorable photos, including the one below during a private seaplane flight to a remote volcano several miles outside of Anchorage (yep, I said volcano in Alaska). That field of blue and black in the foreground is a glacier speckled with deposits of volcanic ash. Definitely not something you see everyday. On a whim, I desaturated the pic in Photoshop to see what
Hunting For Granite For Our Kitchen Remodel
Do you ever feel like there are too many options in the world? If so, DO NOT attempt to pick out new counters. Or just make sure you've got a wifey with extensive internet research skills. (And if you don't, hands off – this one's mine). Here's what I learned from Sherry's quick crash course. Laminate and marble were immediately out of the question. We already had laminate and wanted to upgrade to something more natural and less plastic-y. And as gorgeous as carrera marble can be (we loved it in our inspiration kitchen), it eliminated itself from the mix thanks to being much too expensive (about $100 a square foot) and not nearly as
Finding The Perfect Pendant For Over The Sink
In the interest of full disclosure, I might have a minor to moderate lighting obsession. So I couldn't wait to show you my latest lighting purchase. She's a sleek seeded glass pendant lamp- perfect for over the sink. The rest of the overhead lights are going to be recessed, but she'll be a nice little accent fixture to shed light on our gorgeous new faucet, eh? We got her at West Elm for 99 beans (actually less cause we had a gift card- thanks Emily!) and couldn't be happier with our choice. She's not too out there (we thought a big chrome lamp might be too loud in front of the window above the sink,
A Dinner Party Sans Kitchen
Why cook when you can call Papa John's? Last night when our friends Noah and Jessica came over for a meal/intense game night, the evening was full of firsts. Like actually using our dining table (we're embarrassed to admit that we've been eating out A LOT lately, and when we do dine at home it's usually Hot Pockets in front of the TV). After our sophisticated adult dinner of pizza from the box, we made our way into the den and played some raucous rounds of Racko (one of our favorite new games) by the fire. They even brought over some tasty treats: Chocolate Chip Skullies. Noah runs an uber cool website called skulladay.com, so
Our New Addition
No, it's not an actual addition. Or a baby- don't get any ideas! It's a new rug that we snagged this weekend at Pier 1 (for $40 off, no less). Our fabulous new 5'x8′ looks nice and comfortable in our living room, and helps define the living area from the dining area (since they now share one big space). It's a tightly woven jute that's actually soft to the touch (a lot of the textured rugs we like are just too crunchy to actually live on). And at only $79, marked down for $119, it was one of the most affordable rugs of its size. Plus the color is pretty similar to the new wood
Backyard Update: Growing Some Green Grass
Eons ago we promised you updated photos of the new grass-tastic backyard after the Craigslist success story. Well, the grass has FINALLY decided to grow, so instead of sitting around and waiting we can post these pics for you. Here's the before- which was perfect for our backyard wedding, but waaaay too much work to maintain: So we put an ad for free bushes and gravel on Criagslist, and this is what we were left with: Now that the grass has finally filled in, we have a wide-open (and super easy to maintain) yard that's perfect for Burger's bug hunting expeditions: It's not exactly "lush" but it's getting there, and by next spring it'll be
Young House Love: The Movie
You've seen plenty of photos, but it was 'bout time we got all 21st century up in this mother. Here's the minimally-anticipated world premiere of our first video house tour. Sherry plays Vanna while I take on the role of Spielberg…and keep an eye out for a cameo by Burger. Enjoy it HERE on YouTube.

Farnsworth and Johnson use past experiences to prepare for doctoral programs in chemistry and biology
Tyler Farnsworth, a senior majoring in chemistry at the University of South Carolina Upstate, will leave a lasting legacy in the Division of Natural Sciences and Engineering when he graduates in May 2013. He has been an exceptional student who has taken advantage of opportunities both in and out of the classroom.
Farnsworth was selected as a 2012 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) Scholar, a prestigious summer internship program to introduce chemistry and chemical engineering students to careers in the chemical industry. The SCI Scholar program is very competitive with only 13 students being selected nationwide out of an applicant pool of approximately 300 undergraduates. He spent his summer within the Petroleum Additives division at Chemtura Corporation in Connecticut where he worked to develop novel friction modifiers and anti-wear additives.
Farnsworth also completed a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates Fellowship during the summer of 2011 at Georgetown University where he studied polysiloxanes used in chemical spill containment and remediation.
Farnsworth, who is from Roebuck, S.C., will now use his past experiences to prepare for a doctoral program. He will attend the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill to work on his Ph.D. in polymer/materials chemistry.
Joshua Johnson is wrapping up his studies at the University of South Carolina Upstate and will earn a bachelor's degree in biology this May. The Spartanburg native has been an outstanding student in the Division of Natural Sciences and Engineering
He completed a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates Fellowship during the summer of 2012 at the University of California Berkeley where he studied the assembly of the kinetochore, a protein complex that connects centromeric DNA to microtubules during cell division. Johnson was one of only 12 students nationwide selected for this program out of an applicant pool of over 400 undergraduates.
This was his second REU fellowship; he studied the action of the enzyme telomerase in yeast during the summer of 2011 at Johns Hopkins University. The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects specifically designed for the REU program.
Johnson will pursue a Ph.D. in biology at the University of California Berkeley beginning this fall.

text: What did we show? A lot, since we had to keep the people occupied for an hour. We started the presentation in the games prologue, during which the player got to learn the basics of playing and engaged in the first combat sequences. Then they had an opportunity to visit the suburbs of Vizyme, talk to people and perform some tasks for the local peddler. The quests could be completed in many ways. Once the journalists had gotten the hang of quests, we threw them into the eye of the cyclone; that is The Cemetary in Vyzime, full of ghouls and graveirs. Here, apart from the aforementioned scavengers, they had a chance to meet Elves and rescue some poor souls trapped in a crypt. The presentation ended where it started, in the prologue, where the guests had the chance to fight a boss or two.

Doing the job I am doing at the moment definitely puts everything into prospective.
We are here on this earth for a brief moment, one minute we are here the next we are gone, how ever you think of it, what your beliefs are, take this small window of life, grab it, squeeze the hell out of it, sometimes the journey is a struggle, thats ok because it doesn't last forever.
You don't take your 'things' with you, you don't take your money, that is all insignificant in the end.
You do leave behind the way you have made people feel, the way you have treated people, the kindness you shown, the care you have taken, the words that you have said, the laughter you have started, the tears you have shed, the memories you have created.
What are YOU leaving behind on this Earth? x
Choosing a landscape photo is easy as I seem to have millions of them because I live in such a beautiful part of the world, having countryside, moorlands and coast to choose from!
This is the panoramic view over the town I live near! X

One Love, friendship
Looking back at my past blog posts I have used this picture three times. I love this picture because to me this represents the bond two friends have.
I took this picture a few years ago on a school trip to the local park. These boys where the classes little loveable rebels. I knew them from the day they started in nursery to the day they left in year six. They had been friends from that time in nursery and it had lasted all the way. They had their ups and downs, fall outs, but they always had that bond.
I'm so glad I caught this moment they had together that day, it just looked so peaceful, an unspoken conversation, closeness, understanding. x
Harmony…Tricky, can mean a million things to millions of people. To me it is how things complement each other, how things belong together to make one whole, the whole picture of how sky, sea and earth together together make our world, and each picture we take of the sky, sea and earth will look completely different but are only made up of those three elements.
This picture was taken one summers evening, whilst I was sitting on a wall eating fish and chips, at Teignmouth, Devon, England. x
My boys…
The journey of being mum has at times been a roller coaster ride. It was a job that I never thought I would undertake because I was never the mumsy type. Don't get me wrong I always liked children, other people's, you can hand them back you see. I was never a mum that carried tissues in their bag to wipe sticky fingers, I was rubbish at remembering things like PE kits, dentist appointments, my best trick was turning up to appointments on the wrong day, remembering to pick them up after clubs. I was one of those mums as a teacher we hated, sending them in without a coat, not naming their clothes, not turning up for parents evening because I had lost the slip. To be fair I was expecting them both to be in therapy by the time they were teenagers because of the crap mother they had but apparently they seemed to have turned out alright, they say they love me.
They say they liked the fact I was relaxed not pushy, fun, I didn't mollycoddle. I have taught them independents, they grew up able to cook, clean, look after themselves, help other people with no fussing or nagging on my part. I just let them get on with things and learn by their own mistakes, which believe you me they have made some.
At times I didn't want to be a mum anymore, it's the hardest job going, it's a role that I wanted to be better at, I wanted to be an earth mother, Mother Teresa, Mary Poppins, but I am not, I'm just me, doing the best job in the best way that I can! X
Interpret this how you wish….
Spiralling out of control?…
Cluttered mind?…
Light at the end of the tunnel?…
I don't know, you tell me x
Believe it not, what you see above is everything I carry with me on every shift. I like to have it all with me, most of it in my pockets, it makes me feel human, heres the low down…
I hope you have found a slight bit of interest in what your local emergency person carries in those big green pockets. Keep safe x
I thought I would post a picture for each season,
As you see above Winter, this picture was taken on my old iPhone when in the rare occasion we actually got snow here, the last time being 2010. We went on a snow walk to the woods, very atmospheric!
Following the cold dark Winters is Spring, this picture represents Spring well here for me, because I live in the countryside the farmers plant the maze and then cover it with plastic which leaves an effect around us like we are surrounded in sparkly water.
Then of cause my favourite time Summer, this is me doing exactly what I want to be doing all the time, say no more you get the picture!
Then Autumn, or how some of you call it Fall, I love the colours at this time of year. The seasons just keep going round and round regardless, moving and changing. One thing you can be assured of. x
This is a tad abstract but in this piece of art I see the face of my handsome dog!

Last night after finishing a long shift at work, for those of you that don't know I proudly work for the National Health Service as an Emergency Care Assistant, hoping to be one day a Paramedic. My role is to support the paramedic in what ever way that might be, which believe you me is very varied. Anyway after my shift yesterday I was reading on Twitter and listening on the news his reference to the NHS in an interview his words being…. the 'ambulance driver' who takes a patient to hospital…
I apologies if some of you might find this a bit gruesome, but it is the reality of life..
Dear Jeremy
Just to confirm what some of things an 'ambulance driver' does… hold an elderly lady of 104 in your arms whilst they take their last breath, cut a mother down after they have hanged themselves, talk a son down from a railway bridge who wants to jump in front of a train, perform CPR on a gentlemen in the middle of a busy supermarket for over an hour whilst their family are screaming at you to save their father, husbands life, comfort a wife who went to bed to find her husband had just passed away, get covered in blood whilst a patient is vomiting blood because their liver has ruptured, hold someones grandmas foot on to stop it from falling off in front of the family because they fell, administer drugs because a two week old baby is struggling to breath, wash out wounds on someones father because they have crashed their bike into a central reservation, help a homeless person out of a bin and check them over, listen to their story, buy them a hot drink and a pasty, the bin was the only place they had to shelter from the rain, immobilise someones daughter after a car crash to give her the best chance to carry on walking for the rest of her life….. shall I go on?
Jeremy just think about the words that come out of your mouth because they can not be taken back. And I hope that you think of this when god forbid any of your closest family members need an 'ambulance drivers' help.
Your faithful national health servant who is now going to get ready to do it all over again.
I have had a week off on annual leave, (well except Wednesday I went in as a favour!) And I have been doing lots of dog walks in the wind and rain.
The first picture I went for the Arabian nights look trudging through the desert, except it was so cold on my delicate little face I needed to cover it. The second look is the Men in Black look, dressed in a alien rubber protection from acid slime suit.
This one, I am sure needs no introduction!
Our British Icon! Big Ben! x
My Second entry to this weeks challenge, the beauty of nature. I am sure I have many more pictures if I delve deep enough into the photo archives, but here are a tiny few that I could grab quickly. Again I don't think I can take credit for taking these pictures, my OH is the clever one with the lens, I just benefit from them as material for this blog. x

In my 30 min break of my 12 hour shift I am dreaming of some vibrant sunshine at the beach…. Are you coming? X
Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push, a smile, a world of optimism and hope, a 'you can do it' when things are tough.
My smiling bear picture was taken on one of my visits to Dartmoor zoo in Devon, England.
I am optimistic that one day soon I shall be again be supping a cold lager, looking over the sea, on a warm summers evening! x
Again these pictures were taken on the same school trip, it was to enhance their creative writing, it is called the Ted Hughes trail. He is a local famous poet.
This picture was taken on a school trip a few years ago now! x
I don't normally join in the daily post but this one caught my attention.
If one of your late ancestors were to come back from the dead and join you for dinner, what things about your family would this person find the most shocking?
The list would be endless to make my ancestors run out screaming with horror at the world they had come into and the family it now was!
My personal list would go something like this, try and explain half of this to time traveling stranger… divorce, gay marriage, grandchildren out of wedlock, working a 'mans' job, family darkness, to name but a few!
Of cause for me and to most of you nothing about this is shocking because all of this has become the norm now, times change, things move on, people develop. I wonder what it will be like for my family future?
Its one thing I have never been interested in is finding out about pass ghosts, they belong in the pass, I bet they weren't that innocent either! x
After looking through other blogs on their response to 'weight(less)' I had a look through some of my old pictures and found these. I thought they fitted well. The dragonfly one above I would love to take credit for but my better half took that one, it is such a beautiful picture. I love the detail on the wings.
This spider web was outside my classroom one morning, to be fair the web looks a bit laden down by the dew. I can never get the sparkle in the pictures that I see in real life, which is always disappointing.
Again my better half took this one. Wouldn't you just love to be flying high as free as a bird.
In mind,
Free from worry,
Wash away,
(this picture was taken of me at sunset in the Maldives)
This is how my new year started, looking after the drunk and injured on New Year's Eve night, from my temporary emergency treatment area in a old, cold church, where when the clock struck midnight the patient I was with realised it was midnight and proceeded to hug and kiss me.
Once home in the morning, a few hours sleep, still feeling like I had a hangover because I was so tired, I packed, caught a flight to my new year retreat after working all Christmas, I end up here…. Just a tad nicer I think, don't you!
Champagne was waiting in our room! Breakfast followed by ice skating, spa treatments, wine cellar tour, swimming, eating, drinking and sleeping! Don't mind if I do!
A small part of feels a bit guilty knowing at this very moment my colleagues will be working very hard to keep you all safe and well. But be rest assured I am writing this on the plane journey home and I will be soon back to it, to start all over again!
Cheers, happy new year! X

It's amazing what you can do on your phone nowadays! This is my hairy boy, he is part of our family circle! X
Hello WordPress world!
Haven't been here for a long time, have been learning a new career, I have gone from dancer, to teacher, now I am training to be a paramedic! (don't get excited it is going to take a while) I know I must be mad starting all over again, but it is never to late while I have breath in my body!
This picture just sums up what my life is like at the moment, unpredictable, I have gone from the routine of schools to the world of shift work, I have worked all over christmas for the first time, which I must admit i quite enjoyed!
I took this picture at Sandygate rugby stadium were I had be sent to on my shift on boxing day to cover the players just incase any of them needed a trip to hospital! I have never been to a rugby match before, I had the privilege of coming through the tunnel with the players and sitting pitch side able to be in the centre of all the action, luckily my services were not required.
i just don't know where my day is going at the moment, one minute I am fighting off a drunk, helping a child, picking up someone off the floor, holding someone in their last moments, stopping a foot from falling off, wiping body fluids off my shoes, then I end up at a sports event!
Take care! x
We are very lucky in the corner of our world, we have four main beautiful parts of nature, woodland, moorland, sea and countryside, all on my doorstep!
I remembered this photo my OH took this morning! We were sat round the table outside and a dragonfly just landed on my friends finger!
I love the detail of the wings! X
I know, another picture of my boy, but I just love this picture, it sure is intricate!
There is something powerful about looking into your dogs eyes, they are really trying to work out what you are thinking, what is your next move. They help heal and they soothe.
If you look really close into his eyes you will see me reflecting in them! X

Arkansas Woman Killed During Voodoo Cleansing
I am frankly appalled at the apparent increase in fatal flaws of the world's supposed spiritual leaders. Recently, there was James Ray's disaster of a Native American sweat lodge ceremony, the "inipi", where 3 people died. A sweat lodge ceremony is a purification ceremony, a healing ceremony. For those of you who don't know, James Ray is one of the law of attraction gurus who appeared in the movie The Secret and who has made more than a mint authoring numerous books on the subject. I am personally sanctioned to conduct such ceremonies, and I can tell you that I have never heard of anyone ever dying as a result of participating in one. In fact, nothing bad is ever supposed to happen in a sweat lodge. Indeed, if there ever was a safe place on this earth, it would be in the sweat lodge. So what went wrong?
I don't know. Maybe it was the fact that there was a ridiculous number of people crammed into one lodge...69 to be exact. My lodge holds 8. The largest I have ever participated in was conducted by a Lakota elder and there were 20 women in there. No one died. Grandma knew what she was doing because there are centuries of tradition and protocol to follow and you can best believe that she followed them. Or maybe it was the fact that he charged nine thousand six hundred plus dollars for the retreat. Most Native American holy people are lucky to walk away with enough gas money to get them back home. Maybe they only receive an offering of tobacco, or a bag of oranges. Nine thousand dollars...are you kidding me?
Maybe it was the fact that whoever was running the lodge, simply didn't know what they were doing. Five gallons of water (only a bucket is needed) was poured over the rocks and the ceremony lasted for 8 rounds (there are only 4 rounds). Which brings me to my next question: Who was running the lodge? All indicators point to Ray himself. I wonder how many Sundances and hunblechas he participated in to earn him that privilege.
In the world of Spirit, there are consequences for every behavior, every decision, every conjure, and every intention. The Law of Attraction (LOA) is alive and well in magick and ritual. It causes one to wonder what decisions and intentions were driving this event that would draw death and tragedy to something so sacred? Maybe the fact that Ray played "God" in a game during the retreat speaks to his state of mind and perhaps the lack of consideration for the well-being of others. It appears that Ray attracted some pretty nasty energy with him as he crawled into the lodge that day, and he neglected to effectively bless the lodge to keep the nasties out.
And earlier this summer, there was the Hougan Hector tragedy. As you see in the video above, a lave tet was apparently performed for a woman and she ended up dying. A lave tet is a Voodoo ritual that is a cleansing, similar in concept to a sweat lodge only it involves washing the head. According to Hougan Hector himself:
"The Lave Tet is the cleansing, fortifying and finally baptism of one's head. The head being the "seat of the soul" for an individual, which serves as a vessel for the all important Met Tet and the other spirits that walk with an individual. In some non-asson houses the Lave Tet is the initiation into the house and commits the person to that house." (http://www.ezilikonnen.com/services/lave-tet.html)
The lave tet is supposed to improve the life of the individual in all areas, not kill them! So what went wrong here?
I don't know the details. According to one source, it is believed that Hougan Hector may have forgotten to serve his main loa Ogun. In Santeria and in Vodou, Ogun is known to be an extremely dangerous Spirit who has the power to kill and destroy as he sees fit. It is not uncommon for battles of all sorts to ensue when his children do not serve him correctly. Ogun is the God of War, among other very useful things.
Now, I serve Ogun. He has been very helpful to me and my family and my friends. But you can best believe that I do not forget him. In fact, in my recent move, the first altar I set up (after Legba's of course) was Ogun's. He has his iron pot and tools and other favorite things right out my back door in the garden. And, he has a special spot on my cast iron wood stove.
Another theory is greed. There are reports of Hougan Hector's fees increasing with each phone call. I don't know...I have never sought services from him, nor do I keep tabs on his fees. I have, however, turned to his site for information about Haitian Vodou at times. I have always found his site to be very helpful.
I am certainly not one to judge others. I only have my opinions, which are based on scanty information at best. James Ray and Hougan Hector have their own karma to deal with, but I dare say I am confident and relieved I do not share it.
Here is a video with James Ray talking about "Energy flows where attention goes"...

The Story of Oshun and OgunI was searching around the internet today for something and got sidetracked and stumbled upon this site about a new animated series called the Power Force 5. It seems they have a story the little different than what I have been taught; however, the concept is an interesting way to introduce the orishas to young folks. This is what was on the site:
"The Story of Oshun & Ogun" is a 3 minute animation pilot telling the West African Yoruba based fable of how little Oshun, who represents love, seduction and sweetness, brought the powerful Ogun, entity of iron, machines & technology, out of hiding to restore order to the world..
This is the pilot for an animated series, "Power Force 5" which updates African folklore in a contemporary way. Our five teenage heroes: Oshun, Ogun, Chango, Oya, and Eshu are powerful forces of nature. They use their superpowers to help mankind but since they are still teens, their own personal dramas can sometimes get in the way.
"Power Force 5" uses urban settings, hip hop/ reggaeton music, narration and dialogue to tell each story. Each episode will be primarily self-contained but with a "cliffhanger" ending to compel the audience to watch the next episode. Written for a teen to young adult audience, "Power Force 5" the series, is designed for wireless device download and webcast, but can also be broadcast as interstitial episodes, airing between regular television programming.
Characters from Yoruba folklore are widely known throughout Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean as well as in Africa, as part of the culture and folklore of the African Diaspora. "Power Force 5" would present this culture to those who are familiar and to those who aren't, in an entertaining way. The worldwide popularity of these characters, as well as the hip/hop setting for the stories, encourages international appeal and can be translated into several languages including French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Do you think Oshun and Oya and Ogun and Chango appreciate sharing the spotlight in this manner? Just wondering what other people think...

The Ten Most Common Reasons Love Spells Don't Work
As human beings, it is normal to want to be loved. In fact, next to food and shelter, the need for love and companionship is essential for healthy human psychological and emotional development. It is not surprising that people are willing to do anything and pay anything to gain the love of someone special.
But do love spells work? Well, yes and no. It depends on a number of factors. A reputable spellcaster should explain to you how their particular magick system works and give you instructions for what you should and shouldn't do in order to manipulate energy in your favor. However, if you ask someone to cast a love spell for you and they guarantee it will work, run the other way. There is no such thing as 100% effective magick, and I am about to tell you why.
Many people do not understand that magick is a cocreative process which necessitates that you work in partnership with the Universe in order to ensure success. This is why I never guarantee any Voodoo love spells I perform. I cannot control what you do or don't do. The only control I have is over me and the authentic ritual I perform. How you think, feel, believe, and behave is up to you; yet, these dynamics have everything to do with the success or failure of any Voodoo love spell.
To help you understand why love spells and Voodoo love spells frequently fail, I have come up with a list of the top ten reasons love spells don't work. These reasons apply whether you cast the spell yourself or someone else does the work for you.
1. You have unrealistic expectations. If you live in Picayune, Mississippi and you are casting a spell to make Criss Angel love you, well, your chances of success are pretty slim…especially if you have never even met the guy! There needs to be a strong connection to the person to begin with, and a basis from which love can be nurtured and sparked. Furthermore, love spells do not work overnight. Magick is often a process that involves removing obstacles and clearing unwanted influences, and realigning and maneuvering energies to affect change for the best possible result.
2. Magick is not guaranteed. Just as prayers to the creator may go seemingly unanswered, there may be a reason that a spell does not work. It may be that the Universe has different plans for you. This reason is very hard for some people to accept.
3. You are taking shortcuts. To be a powerful and effective conjurer, you must have the right tools, focus, and mindset. Power results from the use of traditional ingredients such as roots, oils, and powders, from the use of traditional tools such candles and a knife, from performing powerful ritual techniques such as those passed down in the Voodoo tradition for thousands of years, and from having a traditional altar or work space.
4. You doubt the power of magick and you do not "believe" in your own personal power. Magick systems are based on faith. If you do not believe in the possibility of shifting energy and in your ability to attract certain energy your way, and if you do not believe in the power of the Spirits that you may be asking for a favor, you are wasting your time and money.
5. You are stalking and/or harassing your desired mate. Do not threaten or terrorize, attempt to coerce or intimidate, or start calling or emailing your desired lover. To do so will reverse any spell performed on your behalf. You need to create and allow space for the correct energies to align and work in your favor.
6. You are being scammed. Bar none, this is the most common reason love spells do not work. You have paid someone to perform a spell and they never do what they were paid to do, nor did they ever intend to do what they were paid to do. Unfortunately, there are many people out there who are just waiting to prey on your emotional grief and desperation. An authentic practitioner will have a conversation with you about your situation and assess your expectations and the likelihood of success. They will give you an honest appraisal of your request and will not take your money if there is little chance of the spell working.
7. You do not provide complete and accurate information to the spellcaster. An authentic practitioner will petition your requests in a formal ritual on your behalf based upon the information you provide. If you do not provide the correct information, or if you lie about the situation and expect the practitioner to "magically" make your ex fall back in love with you (even though you were abusive, for example), the spell will not work and may in fact, backfire. The Spirits are not stupid and do not take kindly to attempts to fraud or manipulate them. Voodoo Spirits are exceptionally powerful and keen to such shenanigans, and you will have no one to blame except yourself if you end up with the exact opposite of what you wanted.
8. You are obsessing over your love spell or Voodoo love spell. Obsession is fueled by desperation. These feelings attract negativity and will weaken any spell being performed.
9. You fail to address any underlying obstacles or issues. Many times there are unwanted influences creating an obstacle to the union or reunion of two people. These obstacles can be external, such as other people, or internal, such as a lack of confidence or self-worth. A cleansing of some sort should always be performed to clear the path for the Divine energies to do their work.
10. You talk about the spellwork to others. Under no circumstance should you discuss your spellwork with anyone under any conditions. To do so will weaken the power of the spell and will in essence, create an obstacle that wasn't there to begin with.
Remember that Voodooists, rootworkers, and spellcasters of all kinds are not miracle workers – they are not deities. Practitioners vary in skill and expertise and even the most skilled and experienced spellcasters will not have a 100% success rate. Jimmy Page is considered to be one of the best guitar players to have ever lived; yet, even he hits wrong notes sometimes. In fact, he hits wrong notes a lot of the time. But that doesn't make him any less skilled of a guitar player and song writer, nor has that been an obstacle to his extreme and legendary success.
So if you want your love spell to be successful, make sure you address the top ten reasons that they commonly fail and behave and believe accordingly. Have respect for the Spirits that are willing and able to help, and be patient and accept the space between you and your desired lover for now in order to ensure the best possible outcome.

Make Your Own Super Power Conjure BagIn Northern African magic, sulfur is said to be equal to salt in its magickal qualities for repelling evil entities and conjuring power energy. Sulfur is used as a primary ingredient for banishing spells and exorcisms. Traditionally, sulfur can be burned or carried as a talisman or in a conjure bag. Burning is not adviseable as it is potentially quite irritating. Here are a couple of ways to make power conjure bags using sulfur.
Sulfur Spell Conjure Bag: You will need a piece of red flannel cut into a 2 x 2 inch square (minimum). You can use any red material but in New Orleans flannel is frequently used in hoodoo workings. Place a piece of sulfur in the center and tie the bag using leather or hemp cord. You can also use sulfur powder for this. Activate the bag by attaching a small sword charm to it.
Sulfur Spell Extra Power Conjure Bag: You need a piece of red flannel cut in a 4x4 inch square. Place some or all of the following into the bag: a pinch of sulfur, a pinch of henna or iron oxide, a pich of kohl powder, a pich of graveyard dust or dirt, and a pinch of tobacco. Carry this super power conjure bag with you to give you power over malevolence.

How to Perform a House Cleansing
One of the most frequent questions I get from people is that of how to get rid of negative energy in the home. Sometimes the energy is defined as spirits, ghosts, evil entities, or just a general negative vibe. Regardless of the type of negative energy, it is necessary to start by performing a home cleansing. Sometimes, you have to do this more than once, particularly if the energy is pervasive or just downright stubborn.
To perform a home cleansing, you will need some sage or cedar or sandalwood incense or holy water. You can also use some holy anointing oil to anoint the entrances to your home, such as doorways and windows.
This ritual calls for a spiritual practice called "smudging" wherein objects, people, or spaces are lightly covered with the smoke of incense, or the smoke of smoldering herbs such as cedar or sage. Simply light the incense or herbs and fan the smoke with your hand or a large feather. Offer the smoke to the helper Spirits by fanning it to the west, north, east, south, heaven, and earth and respectfully ask them to help you clear the area of all negativity.
Begin fumigating the area, beginning with the doorway. Smudge it, and all of the corners moving from the floor up, going clockwise. Smudge everyone present, starting from their front, going from their feet to their head. Have them turn around and repeat the procedure. Next use some Holy Water and sprinkle it (or you may place it in a spray bottle so that you can mist it) on the floor of the room or area you wish to have blessed. Mist each corner and move to the center of the room. Anoint the window sills and doorways of your home with holy anointing oil. As you are doing this, repeat the prayer of protection:
Prayer of Protection
The light of God surrounds me
The Love of God enfolds me
The power of God protects me
The presence of God watches over me
Wherever I am, God is
And all is well.
You may now thank God, the helper Spirits, or whatever Divine spirit you deem to be your Higher Power for their special attention.
Express your love, say "So be it", and say goodbye. Your space is now properly cleansed.
At this point, you could bury a medal of St. Benedict in your front yard and/or carry one on your person for added protection.

I would stop listening to your buddy, so many wrongs there it isn't funny. Probably be a good fit employee for many of the maacos out there though, heck don't even bother sanding it and just stuff holes with filler.
I sure hope a school isn't really teaching that sort of thing, and either he is full of bs and trying to sound like he knows more then he really does (like I seem to remember a few kids back in school being like and a young tech or two fresh in the body trade). The statement that he can spray it so smooth and not require any buffing and it will be show quality makes me think this is the case.
Those of us that have been around long enough have been humbled enough times in the past and know how easy imperfections are to get or how catastophic things can go at times, no matter how long you have been painting and taking all the steps to do everything right. Your bound to get at least a few imperfections and dirt nibs, even with the best of booths, equiptment and lighting, and buffing is needed pretty much everytime if the goal is to get it is flawless as possible. Urethane also has some inherent peel no matter how perfectly applied, which is why many guys here spend the added time flow coating and cutting and buffing to get show quality work.
But then I guess everyones defignition of show quality is different (seen enough in shows shaking my head why it was entered), and someone who has spent a lot of time working in paint and body can pick out flaws in pretty much any paint job if they look close and hard enough, and believe me that what most paint and body guys are looking for when at a show, we can't help it.
Out of what I could decipher out of that long runon sentance, the only thing I can maybe agree with is taking it to metal (but not needed in all situations if modern materials in sound condition and its a relatively new car), and maybe a 1.4 tip for shooting most urethanes.
Hardly anyone will use lacquer anymore, and any self respecting bodyman would either replace the part or replace holes with new metal, and wouldn't stuff holes with filler for a customer,(although surprising how often this is found once you dig into a vehicle for repair), and would send a car away if the customer didn't have the money to do it correctly or they didn't want to do the job.
Only thing that matters is the clear, bullpucky. Don't think there isn't a difference in the quality of the base and primers, and that they have an effect on outcome or longevity.
Do a search on here about self etch, and what most professionals opinions are of them.
If students are actually being taught that sort of nonsense in school, then thats a shame, being is school is costly and you go there to learn the correct procedures and materials to give a long lasting repair. If anything in my experience schooling teaches you correctly, and bad habits are most often picked up in a shop where often speed is priority and it has to look good (at least as good as from the factory) as it goes out the door and usually is meant to last as long as the car is either totaled or sold.

College's Fall Barbecue Longstanding Tradition
Event brings together students, alumni, family and friends
The fall barbecue is a longstanding tradition at ESF, providing a time for students, faculty, staff - and later family, friends and alumni - to relax, enjoy each other's company and form long-lasting friendships.
In the College's early days the barbecues were held at nearby Green Lakes State Park during the work week, with the campus shutting down for the day to allow the entire college family to "relax and enjoy the scenery at Green Lakes State Park." (Knothole 1951). Also, in the early years, "the beef cooked all night over open fired built and replenished by members of the Forestry Club."
Along with the food, the day included numerous games that students competed in for the honor and glory of their respective classes. Freshmen to seniors competed in football, volleyball, horseshoes, greased pole climbs, tug-o-wars and three-legged races and, of course, timbersports.
Today, the Alumni and Family Fall Barbecue is a weekend event with catered food and activities centering around campus. Today's barbecues also include a senior alumni reunion, faculty presentations, a "coffee haus" and talent show by the students, coffee with the president, demonstrations by the Woodsmen's Team, an activities fair and the opportunity to catch an SU football game.

Becoming a virtual assistant is one way for stay-at-home moms and the unemployed to earn. It also becomes a career path for many gen X and Y who enjoy location-independent work and flexible time.
Web Presence
You can find numerous work marketplace for virtual assistants. oDesk, Freelancer, Elance, and PeoplePerHour are just some of the sites where you can post your resume and find virtual assistant jobs.
Aside from having your presence in those work marketplace, you can also find virtual assistant jobs through forums and online communities. Some VA create their own business website where they offer their services.
When creating your profile, make sure to highlight your specialization or capabilities. It makes it easier for clients to know what you can do.
Linkedin is a great website for prospecting clients. Though I haven't done that but because I've been receiving proposals every now and then, I see Linkedin as a potential place to meet clients. So, make sure that your Linkedin profile is updated. Even if you are not actively searching, perhaps one of these days you will receive some job offers too.
Experience is a big advantage for virtual assistant as many prospect clients want to have their projects done fast with less supervision. But this is not to say that newbies would be having a difficult time finding projects. Some clients are not particular with experience.
Attitude also matters. If you are trainable, willing to learn, industrious, persistent and can work independently; even if you are new to the business, there won't be any trouble for you to catch up with the seasoned VAs. The key here really is knowledge and skills. Even veterans need to learn and upgrade skills too.
Here are some of the basic skills of a virtual assistant:
- Communication skills
- Typing
- Writing
- Computer knowledge (basic knowledge on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)
- Sales and marketing
- Online research
- Database entry
- PowerPoint Presentation
- Managing email
- Bookkeeping
- Scheduling
- Social media
- Blogging
- Copywriting

71-Year-Old Shares Passion for Dance at Colorado State Fair
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On August 24, 2012 · 2 Comments · In KRCC News, Postcard, Profile, Shanna Lewis, Slideshow
The Colorado State Fair begins today in Pueblo. Amid the livestock shows, carnival rides, monster trucks and big name bands, there's a small outdoor stage that features Colorado entertainers. Anita McCoy of Canon City performs there. She's tap danced with her students at the Fair for more than 30 years, and on Sunday she'll be there again. The 71-year-old McCoy has been dancing for nearly her whole life, and even had a nationally televised spot on America's Got Talent last year with a hula hoop routine. KRCC's Shanna Lewis visited with McCoy at her studio in Canon City as she and her students were getting ready for the Fair, and sent us this audio profile.

Misery loves company – that's Canberra's main problem in the wake of Tony Abbott's first budget.
A key to surviving Abbott's big bash will be the community mindset.
If our collective reaction is to rein in spending, an understandable reaction in the face of job insecurity, the territory's economy will slow even further.
However, the reality is Canberra is being slammed disproportionately hard, in the name of the national interest.
The budget's litany of broken promises will position Canberra as collateral damage – but will it break the heart of the national capital?
Thousands of public servants will lose their jobs as Abbott breaks his promise not to cut more than 12,000 positions.
But his task has been made easier because the Labor Party has put in train the abolition of 14,500 jobs.
Abbott is adding 2000 to that total, but more job cuts are likely.
Treasurer Joe Hockey told the budget lock-up press conference more pain would follow in successive budgets.
As the public sector takes a hit, Canberra's small businesses need a hand up.
Given that the rest of Australia doesn't care, and no Holden-style rescue package will emerge, this is where next month's ACT Budget will play a key role.
It is expected to unveil infrastructure projects to create jobs, and may award contracts to kick start preliminary work on the ambitious Gungahlin to Civic light rail.
Although this is an expensive project for a small jurisdiction, it has the potential to create hundreds of jobs.
Canberra went through Armageddon in the late 1990s under John Howard's blowtorch but this time around, as expected, the cuts are not so severe and the territory's economy is larger and more robust and diverse.
However, with the public service making up 40 per cent of the population, Canberra must brace.
Property values are expected to slide and retail trade could slow as the flow-on effect of the job cuts seeps throughout the town.
Tuggeranong would have been gutted if the Department of Social Services moved out – but it's staying.
The "fat cat" tax will reach into the pockets of the SES, while the petrol tax, the GP fee and changes to family assistance will affect household budgets from Gungahlin to Tuggeranong.
The efficiency dividend will rise, as announced in the mid-year budget review, saving an extra half a billion dollars over four years.
The Australian Tax Office will bring forward staff reductions that were already planned in response to efficiency dividends and decisions of the former government.
"A smaller, less interfering government won't need as many public servants," Hockey told Parliament.
It's not all bad news for Canberra – ANU will be in a prime position to charge premium fees and CIT students will be supported by federal funds.
However it will be hard to appreciate the national boost to infrastructure and the establishment of the largest medical research fund of its kind in the world if you work in the back office of a national cultural institution where the job axe will fall.
All this means Joe Hockey was at the height of disingenuousness when he told Parliament, "It is time, for all of us, to contribute and build ... We are a nation of lifters, not leaners."
The reality is it's time for some of us to contribute much more than others.
It's no surprise that in these tight budgetary times, no money is available for the first leg of the very fast train, between Canberra and Sydney.
But the so-called infrastructure Prime Minister just looks stingy when he can't kick in $8 million over three years in seed money for the proposed Australia Forum convention centre – particularly after he asked for just such a private sector project to be pitched by the ACT.
However, just as Howard slashed the public service but later built the National Museum and the National Portrait Gallery and massively upgraded ASIO and the AFP, Abbott will have his chance to "contribute and build" to the Canberra skyline when the budget bottom line becomes healthier.
Outside of Canberra, the budget will seem relatively mild when compared to the doom and gloom predictions created by the government to massage expectations.

72–75 Weeks: What to Expect From Your Puppy
Five Steps for Making Your Puppy's First Dental Cleaning a Success :: Checking Your Puppy For Benign or Dangerous Lumps :: How to Stop Your Puppy from Licking or Mouthing You :: What to Do If Your Puppy is Sleeping Too Much
What to Do If Your Puppy is Sleeping Too Much
Does your puppy spend more time in bed than you do? Or is he so drowsy he'd rather sleep than go chase squirrels? At this age, puppies should be sleeping about the same amount of time as adult dogs which is approximately 14 hours a day. The correct amount of sleep for dogs is as important as it is for humans. In the wild, with too much sleep, a dog becomes lethargic, his senses dull, and he can't hunt well. In our society, an oversleeper is more likely to get ill.
If you're home all day, it's easy for you to see how much your puppy is sleeping. If not, there are some signs to look for. If your pup is lethargic when you get home it is most likely because of too much sleep rather than too little. You also might notice weight gain and it may be difficult to get him excited about anything. If you have a disinterested or bored puppy there are several things you can do to get him awake.
Ways to Improve Your Puppy's Sleep
Your puppy may be sleeping too much because his quality of sleep is poor. There are a few things you can change to help him sleep better.
Get a New Dog Bed - Invest in a good quality dog bed, preferably with a solid mattress and foam on top. Consider which shape is best by watching your puppy sleep. For instance, if he curls up, a donut bed is best. If he sprawls out, you might try a bed with a bolster. Avoid beds that have any fillers such as cedar as these are lumpy to lie on.
Give Him Peace and Quiet - When it is time for your puppy to sleep, see that everyone leaves him alone. Don't wake him to play or go outside. Though dogs typically sleep more lightly than we do, an uninterrupted sleep will help him have energy and vigor.
Darken the Room - Though dogs can sleep at anytime, they are very much controlled by their circadian rhythm. That means when the sun is up, they are more likely to be active and when it's down, they naturally sleep.
Ways to Get Your Puppy Up and Out
Whether bored or just lazy, a dog can easily be persuaded to do an activity as long as it's fun and especially if treats are involved.
Get Him Out of Bed - When you get up in the morning, cheerily awaken your grumpy dog. If you can, immediately take him outside - it doesn't have to be a big walk, just a chance for him to get a whiff of all the interesting smells awaiting him.
Exercise at Strategic Times - Try to exercise your puppy before you head out to work, a good long walk or a short run. Then, exercise again at midday. If you can't do this, consider hiring a dog walker. Finally, exercise in the evening before you feed him.
Leave Toys Out - when you're gone, whether your puppy is left on the couch or in his crate, leave some good chew toys to keep him busy. You can also leave interactive toys such as a Kong filled with peanut butter or a treat toy that he has to work on for awhile before getting his reward.
Leave the Shades Up - Unless you have an incessant barker or live in an apartment where your pup needs to keep quiet, consider leaving the shades up. He will have many sounds and sights to keep him distracted from sleeping.
Too much sleep may seem like small problem at first but the longer your pup snoozes, the harder it is to break him of the habit. Too much sleeping can be a sign of a lazy dog, a bored dog or a sick dog. There first thing to do is get him checked by the vet for conditions such as hypothyroidism, an iodine insufficiency or many other illnesses for which it a symptom.
If your puppy is grumpy when you waken him, try holding a treat under his nose while you make some sort of noise such as a can filled with coins. And, remember, the old adage "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" isn't always true.
Advice from Other Dog Owners
Puppies Eat Less When They are Teething
When my dog was teething his appetite decreased quite a bit. Our vet recommended adding water to his food to soften it up, which worked great. He did not recommend that we do that all the time because the hard food helps their dental hygiene. That worked for us! Ice cubes and toys in the freezer also helped (i.e. water down a rope toy and freeze).

Sundoulos - Fall 2012
From the Editor
Most of us are familiar with churches that have no plan to change the world or even their neighborhood, churches that have little impact on their communities or their members. Some pastors merely run a calendar that was set in stone years ago, never considering whether that calendar is accomplishing anything. Most of us would say that such pastors and such churches need a bit more vision.
Some churches, however, seem to suffer from the effects of too much vision – or maybe vision poorly wielded. We hear of churches that split over difference of vision, or of senior pastors who use vision as a club to keep staff and board in line. Sometimes leaders think that leadership is vision; they replace the essential elements of reaching the lost and shepherding with vision-crafting exercises and memorizing vision statements.
Because of these two polar tendencies in pastoral leadership, Sundoulos asked two of Talbot's professors, Kent Edwards and Joe Hellerman, to write, respectively, on the necessity and the danger of visionary leadership in the church. Kent and Joe are particularly qualified to write on this topic; both have served for years as pastors, and have recently completed major writing projects related to leadership in the church. One of Kent's many valuable insights is that visionary leaders invite the church to recognize and join in with "God's overarching vision." And Joe reminds us that vision cannot include only numerical growth and financial health; it must include healthy relationships among the staff and leaders of the church.
This issue of Sundoulos also welcomes the first Dean's Column authored by our new Dean, Clint Arnold. In keeping with the theme of this issue, Clint shares with us part of his vision for Talbot, and tells us how Talbot's leadership team works together to accomplish that vision.
Your Fellow–servant,
Gary Manning
