The Cubs and Chicago Cubs Charities are committed to improving the health of Chicago's inner city children. To help address the increasing obesity problem and to promote fitness overall, Chicago Cubs Charities developed the Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley to promote a fitness plan and healthy eating campaign, and encourage kids to "Play Every Day." The mission of the Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley is to get kids active and healthy.
In 2013, more than 300 children from four schools across the city of Chicago participated in the Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley, which motivates youth to "Play Every Day." The students participated in group exercise led by Chicago Athletic Clubs and learned basic baseball skills through Cubs non-profit partner, Urban Initiatives at four select elementary schools: Tarkington School in Marquette Park, Gunsaulus School in Brighton Park, Otis Elementary in West Town and Lloyd School in Cragin using the Cubs Trolley for transportation, music and activation. Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley participants received water from Aquafina and a nutritious snack every visit supplied by Testa Produce.
The Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley brought together Cubs Associates, Cubs corporate partners, Cubs philanthropic partners, Cubs ownership and Cubs players to impact the health of kids in the Chicago community.
Kids who followed the Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley plan and monitored their exercise schedule through weekly fitness logs were rewarded with a trip to a Cubs game and honored on Wrigley Field prior to a game.

All is not well in the River City after a city councilwoman suffered an apparent breakdown on her radio show.
Memphis' WMC-TV reports Janice Fullilove went off on her husband during Monday's show:
"Everybody wants to know, 'Well, why do you drink? Why do you do this?' You know, I can't say it's because of him, but it's because of him I have done these things. I'm going to protect my life. I don't care this man here threatened to kill me, and I want the police director and everybody in the city to know."
Fullilove and her husband, Vernon Chalmers, have had skirmishes in the past and related arrests. A judge had ordered the couple to stay apart from each other after the last scuffle, but no charges were filed and the couple was allowed to live together again.
Her radio station, WDIA, says they had no idea she would make those statements and that her employment status is not changed, despite her saying she didn't care if she was fired.

Watching the Workforce Waistline: The Skinny on Lexington Medical Center's "Better Choices"
With countless holiday parties to attend and delicious food to sample, we will no doubt head into 2009 thinking about losing weight and eating healthier. Lexington Medical Center is leading a smart eating effort by encouraging healthy nutrition options for its employees in its new "Better Choices" campaign.
This innovative effort includes large pop-up posters, banners hanging from the ceiling, table tents and posters in the hospital eateries. The posters compare good food choices and better food choices. In addition, a green apple appears next to healthy menu items; that means it is low fat, has zero grams of trans-fat or is a fruit or vegetable serving.
The campaign also includes table tents at cafeteria tables titled "Did You Know?" which offer tips including how to cut calories, increase calcium intake and eat healthy in restaurants as well as the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.
A healthy eating program not only benefits employee health, but it can make businesses more productive. According to North Carolina Prevention Partners, "Worksite health promotion and disease management programs can yield positive clinical and cost outcomes, including a decrease in health plan costs, sick leave and workers' compensation and disability costs."
They add that an investment in human capital is less expensive than medical treatment. According to their research, employees who are obese have high health care costs, more injuries and use more sick days than employees who are not obese across multiple industries.

Boy, am I glad June is here! My wife has joined me after our long separation from job and school. What a relief. I don't have to worry about her stressing herself out or being picked up by a much more dashing, intelligent, catch of a man.
We leave this week for what may be the trip of a lifetime. How many times in a lifetime, if ever, does one get to go to Europe for 6 weeks? We will be starting with friends in Belgium, working our way to Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovakia, Germany, The Netherlands, England, Wales, Scotland, and who knows where else we may stumble. We really cannot afford it, but why not live with some reckless abandon for a little while? There are so many friends who do so every day of their life and seem to make it through their whole lives. Granted, their quality may be diminished some. But what is lost by worry seems it might be made up by the large home and toys that the self-proclaimed responsible typically don't get to enjoy. We leave on the 4th to return on the 16th of July.
We signed a purchase contract for a home this month. Somewhere around the 22nd of June we will be closing on a humble home in Oklahoma City. Who would ever have thought my first home purchase would be in Oklahoma City? Did I ever think I would move or live in Oklahoma City. Most certainly not.
Amanda and I just hit all three of the Idaho temples this past week. Amanda had never been to any of them. We have now hit all three Idaho and 11 Utah temples. Before year end, we will have three more in that geography alone to hit to make it complete once again. I am very sad I will be in Oklahoma City when the dedication of the Twin Falls Temple takes place. Being so close to home, and wanting a temple closer for so long, now we get one and I cannot attend. Amanda and I will be helping with the open house in July. I guess that is some solace for missing the dedication. I believe Idaho Falls and Manti are still my favorite temples. The Rexburg Temple has so many gorgeous rooms. However, for some reason I still prefer the sessions that are split up into all their sections. Manti and Idaho Falls Temples both have you moving between all the rooms. Manti has the pioneer value and beauty with a live session, but the simplicity of Idaho Falls with its rooms and movement make it a favorite. Salt Lake certainly has the beauty but the place seems more like a zoo than a temple, especially in the summer with all the sealings.
This past week Amanda spent a day with me at work doing bench testing. It was a beautiful day and we spent nearly all of it in Minidoka. The Minidoka Longhorn Cafe and Whitesides Dairy was enjoyable for me. The wastewater we play with is less than beautiful but it is part of life. Whether we like it or not, we all have waste and somebody has to deal with it. I thought Amanda was going to throw up at one point when we were doing some filteration. She kept it down, luckily. The day turned out well. Except for the fact Amanda picked up a tick somewhere. Not only did she pick him up, the tick dug in and started to sup near the middle of her calf. She was not a happy camper when she discovered him. A little polish remover and she backed right out. Hope she got plenty to eat for the long stay in the septic tank.
For the first time in what must be at least 8 years since Grandma Ross passed away, all my siblings were back together. Becky was coming through Southern Idaho so Scott organized a BBQ. All five of us where there. It was really quite a bit of fun and I enjoyed myself. Even though we were never really close, I am glad we are still cordial and can enjoy ourselves when we get together. Vicki, Dad's first wife, was even there. Dad and Jan were there as well. Andra brought Brian and Daniel and little Daniel was certainly a favorite.
I know I have not been writing as much. Despite more people reading the blog than ever before, I just don't feel like I have much to write. A couple of people want me to write more relevant things that would pertain to them, but how does one write interesting things for everyone? Then, how does anyone write for someone else and keep their voice and soul into it?

Are 41 Million Reasons Enough to Make Smartphone Buyers Choose Nokia?
There isn't that much mystery around the type of product Nokia is launching on Thursday.
The company has all but said it is combining a flagship Windows Phone with a 41-megapixel camera, no doubt like the one found on the Symbian-based PureView 808. Its invitation and teases have touted "41 million reasons" to like the new product as well as using the tag line "Zoom. Reinvented."
Leaked photos suggest the device will be coming to AT&T branded as the Lumia 1020.
The real question is whether a better camera will help lure more consumers away from the iPhone and premium Android devices. Despite elegant design, solid hardware and positive reviews, Nokia has struggled, particularly in the U.S., to sway high-end consumers.
By contrast, Nokia has been doing better than expected with its lowest-end device, the Lumia 521, that sells for $150 or less without any sort of carrier subsidy and competes against low-end Android smartphones.
With the new device, Nokia is once again shooting for top-of-the-line consumers. A lack of Windows Phone apps — and continued lack of awareness of Microsoft's phone ecosystem more generally — has continued to be a challenge for both Nokia and Microsoft.
Both Microsoft and Nokia have made some supporting announcements already this week, with Nokia announcing updates to its well-regarded mapping software and Microsoft committing to increased support for businesses that want to use Windows Phones.
AllThingsD will be on hand at Nokia's event on Thursday, so check back for live coverage and analysis.
Update: If the picture wasn't clear enough, AT&T briefly posted — and then hid — videos of the 1020 in action, while a Finnish tech site scored a PDF of the device's data sheet. (The article is in Finnish, the PDF is in English.)

This month we recognize Sergeant Joe Flanagan of the Alhambra (CA) Police Department, who has been a longtime friend and supporter of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and National Law Enforcement Museum. Joe serves on the Board of Directors for the Police Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) and is a past President of the Alhambra Police Officers Association. In 2008, Joe was instrumental in working with the Alhambra POA to donate $12,500 to the Museum campaign to fund a bench that will be located in the Main Concourse of the Museum and will bear the name 'Alhambra Police Officers Association.'
|Alhambra (CA) Police Sergeant Joe Flanagan
As a Memorial Fund Ambassador, Joe takes his role very seriously and volunteers his time to help support our work. Additionally, every year for the past several years, Joe has organized groups of Alhambra officers and police department staff to attend National Police Week. This year's Police Week was especially important to Joe and his fellow officers, as one of their own was honored. The Alhambra P.D. suffered a great loss on July 10, 2011, when Officer Ryan Embert Stringer died in the line of duty in an automobile crash.
Sgt. Joe Flanagan is the ideal example of what it means to be a Law Enforcement Ambassador. Joe is a true friend and leader, who we are honored to have as part of the Memorial Fund team.
If you would like to contribute to the Memorial Fund's efforts in your own way, please contact John Shanks at 202.737.8529 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Columbia crew composed of 7 astronauts headed by the commander Rick Husband, and all of them were thus lost 16 minutes prior to the scheduled landing at Kennedy Space Center.
The final crew of Columbia STS-107
- Rick Husband - Commander
- William McCool
- Michael Anderson
- Ilan Ramon
- Kalpana Chawla
- David Brown
- Laurel Salton Clark
Today there are 7 hills in Mars, having been named after the 7 dauntless astronauts and they are commonly referred to as Columbia hills in memory of the orbiter.
I believe that more tributes should be made on their honor and they must be remembered for their sacrifice was eminent.

Who says personal 3D printing isn't practical? Geomagic CEO Ping Fu at SXSW 2012 wears a custom pair of 3D printed shoes with phone case. Fu will join 3D Systems as vice president and chief strategy officer upon closing the acquisition deal.
Quietly, and over the past 10 years or so, the companies involved in providing machines, software, and services to the additive manufacturing industry have been staking out territory and making alliances. The market has evolved to what we have now: a battle between two major competitors—Stratasys and 3D Systems—with a large satellite ecosystem around them.
The term "additive manufacture" is a broad term that encompasses industrial manufacture, right down to the hobbyist yearning for a 3D printer in the garage. And as the industry progresses, it seems likely we'll have all possibilities. Jon Peddie Research has classified the field as "digital reality," a much broader arena that includes metrology (measurement tools, scanners), 3D design, additive manufacture, photogrammetry, point cloud software, and augmented reality—in essence, the realm where the real and the digital interconnect.
Lately, the field has burst forth from garages, service bureaus, and industrial backrooms and has become front-page news. Even right-wing political commentator Glenn Beck has seen fit to weigh in and pronounce 3D printing as the wave of the future and the salvation of America. (It's up to you to decide if this is good news or bad news for the field.)
The latest in the list of acquisitions, at least at the moment of this writing, was announced just as the glitter was subsiding after New Year's Eve. 3D Systems, one of the more acquisitive of the competitors, has announced plans to acquire point cloud software company Geomagic. At the close of the deal, Geomagic CEO Ping Fu will join the company as a vice president and chief strategy officer.
Fu is a high-profile figure in the geeky world of point clouds and 3D printing. The announcement of this deal follows the publication of her memoir Bend, Not Break, which describes her life in China during the Cultural Revolution to the present as the CEO of Geomagic and an advisor to President Obama as a member of the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (NACIE). In a conversation grabbed between stops on her book tour and interviews with journalists, Fu says maybe the timing could have been better, "but really, nothing ever happens at the perfect time."
The news of the acquisition is not a huge surprise for those watching the industry. 3D Systems has been especially aggressive about acquiring all the pieces in the digitalreality pipeline, and Geomagic is a prize piece of the puzzle. In fact, Geomagic has long insisted that it was not interested in acquisition, and as a result of the ongoing buyouts in the additive manufacture field, Geomagic enjoyed a strategic advantage as an independent supplier. At the time of the recent announcement, Geomagic had strategic relationships with almost every company in the wider field of digital reality. Based in South Carolina, 3D Systems is a neighbor of Geomagic, which calls North Carolina home, and both companies have danced with each other as collaborators and sometimes as competitors.
This motorcycle was created using Stratasys's Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process, which results in very durable models. It was a big crowd pleaser at Autodesk University in 2008.
Earlier in the year, 3D Systems acquired a competitor of Geomagic's, Rapidform of Korea. Both Rapidform and Geomagic are pushing the development of tools for translating point cloud information into CAD formats that can be edited and used to further a design, create a new design, produce a detailed photorealistic render, and, of course, bring the image into the real world via digital reality.
A major difference between Rapidform and Geomagic is that Rapidform has an integrated CAD product based on Siemens' Parasolids engine. Instead, Geomagic has concentrated on being compatible with the leading CAD products out there. For situations where customers need a CAD option, Geomagic has collaborated with 3D direct modeling company SpaceClaim to create Spark, a scan-to- CAD solution using Geomagic's point cloud technology. Geomagic has also acquired Sensable, which offers sculpting tools that provide haptic feedback, giving the user the feeling of actually sculpting forms.
This unique guitar by Designer Olaf Diegel was inspired by biomimicry and output using a 3D Systems Cubify printer.
The vision, however, is bigger than any piece of the puzzle. The acquisitions that have been going on throughout the industry represent the efforts of companies in 3D design and engineering to find their best opportunities in what is shaping up to be a huge industry.
On the hardware side, the major competitors in the 3D print field include 3D Systems, Stratasys, and EOS. All three companies are staking out their preferred areas of expertise and influence. At this stage of the game, there's still plenty of room for the competitors to grow. Stratasys has been concentrating on machines and materials, EOS is an expert in metal materials and structures, and 3D Systems is looking at the business from the point of view of content-to-print. All three companies, however, have to keep an eye on the entire pipeline, and all three companies are competing mightily with one another.
In these early stages of the deal between Geomagic and 3D Systems, Fu has the luxury of looking at the big picture, and she still has a slightly removed view. She is excited about the potential of 3D printing and her role in the industry, and she isn't thinking so much about the competitive side as much as the collaborative side. When the technologist talks about the fast-growing Bavarian printer company EOS, for example, she says the firm has the ability to build geometric structures within metal shapes—"they can create entirely new materials"—and, as a result, are enabling manufacturers to build cars that are lighter and more fuel-efficient and use materials that are as light as carbon fiber but less expensive. Impressively, EOS made approximately $124 million in 2011.
Fu also expresses admiration for Stratasys' work in materials. Stratasys has a prize in its recently acquired Objet Geometries, a 3D printing company based in Israel. Objet's unique technology enables printers to use multiple materials in the same print. Together, Stratasys and Objet can provide a broad range of print technologies and materials. Stratasys CEO Scott Crump says the companies can now offer their customers the right process and the right materials for any job.
With the announcement of the merger between Stratasys and Objet, Stratasys contends that the combined companies made $277 million 2011. 3D Systems reported $138.94 million in 2011. Like 3D Systems, Stratasys now has a broad product range of printers from low-cost to highend. In particular, 3D Systems has more offerings on the low end, while Stratasys has more on the high end.
Stratasys was founded in 1989. It was a family operation then, and it still sometimes seems like a small company with big machines. CEO Scott Crump is the founder, and he's very visible at conferences and trade shows. Crump and his team invented Stratasys' core technology—Fused Deposition Modeling. With the Objet merger, Stratasys has become a larger company, and it has acquired Object's Polyjet technology that enables different materials to be combined on the same model.
Using haptics-enabled Geomagic Freeform, artists can sculpt more freely and build more complex, organic shapes. Geomagic acquired the Freeform technology when it bought Sensable in April 2012.
Objet's David Reis has come on board as CEO, while Crump is moving to chairman. At the Annual Needham & Company Growth Stock Conference in January, in a presentation around 3D print opportunities, Crump stated, "We take ideas into reality." The company maintains that its strategy will be to build on its strengths in 3D design/MCAD, jewelry design, and healthcare, says Crump—areas where the company holds a strong leadership position. The firm also has a business making parts on demand for other companies. Stratasys maintains big banks of machines, enabling it to turn out hundreds of parts and ship them in short cycles. So, for the near future, Stratasys is looking at expanding its traditional business.
3D Systems, meanwhile, was founded earlier in 1986 by Charles Hull, who invented one of the base technologies of the industry: stereolithography. The company holds significant patents in the field of additive manufacture. After Abe Reichental came on as CEO in 2003, Hull became the chief technology officer and executive VP.
After spending a long time in the middle between the companies offering capture technologies and those selling design and build, Fu sees a broad landscape where innovation can happen. She says 3D Systems' Reichental has focused on content as the fuel to grow the industry. "I think I can learn a lot from him," she says.
Additionally, 3D Systems and Sensable have a long history of collaboration. The teams put together low-cost 3D printing packages, including the Cubify printers from 3D Systems and Geomagic's Sensable sculpting tools, for use in grade schools.
"It's like digital Play-Doh," says Fu, "and the students are learning science, mechanics, and force feedback." This is one of the areas that interests Fu when she begins at 3D Systems. She refers to applications like this one going into schools as "STEAM"—the STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) with the addition of an A for Art. Fu also sees the next generation of education using art along with STEM classes as a way to encourage more creative scientists and more innovative artists.
But, isn't content a vulnerable area? Isn't content the area where the crowd comes in? In one sense, yes, says Fu. She believes the software business is looking at an inflection point that will utterly change the industry, and she compares it to the Internet revolution that transformed the publishing industry. "Software will become free," she says with certainty.
As far as she's concerned, the crowd can come right on in because what the industry needs now is content. According to Fu, an object that is printed is really software code made real. It's not the code that matters; it's the creativity that goes into creating it and the use it is designed for. 3D printing is manufacture for goods needed on-demand and one at a time, or at most, just a few at a time. The result is what counts, not necessarily all the steps in the middle that went into creating it. "If you have good content," says Fu, "you're never vulnerable."
"If you look at what's happening in software now, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, to a certain extent, they don't sell software, it's free. Theey sell something else. Autodesk clearly sees this coming," Fu says. "Theey're offering their technology in this field for free." Autodesk has also been forging alliances and acquiring companies on the content side of digital reality. At the recent Needham conference, the Stratasys presenters also identified content as a significant piece of the puzzle. Talking about the enthusiasm of the Maker community for 3D printing, Crump said, "in order for Maker applications to be successful, first there needs to be content."
Crump compares the consumer side of the industry today to the very early days of Apple. "We all thought there was a place for the computer in the home," but it wasn't so easy to figure out exactly how to do that until applications like desktop printing emerged, he says.
Theis idea of content is expanding rapidly. As Fu says, "everything is 3D," and she's right. Digital reality is already blending information captured into digital form (via scanners, cameras, and measuring devices) with real-world information, and it is being used by plants to visualize and incorporate real-world conditions of pipe mazes into the digital plan of the factory.
Or consider Siemens' recent acquisition of LMS, a German engineering company with measurement tools for design, enabling car manufacturers to capture information about a vehicle's performance and incorporate it into the design. And additive manufacture helps close the loop, bringing the idea out of the digital and into the corporeal.
At the same time as 3D Systems was announcing the planned Geomagic deal, Autodesk announced an initiative to create front-end CAD tools for Organovo, a company that could have been invented by science-fiction novelist Philip K. Dick. Organovo plans to use 3D printing technology to build tissue on structures and print human parts, including blood vessels, skin, and, someday, even organs. Content is everything, even us.
Yes, additive manufacture has been hot stuff for a while now, but it's not just hype. With every acquisition, with every alliance, and with better integration with adjacent technologies, it's coming closer to fulfilling its promise. In the future, the real will co-exist with the digital.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I wrote about doctors who FaceTime or video Skype with their patients. I'll freely admit that while I'm as addicted to my Smartphone as the next person, I generally feel as if these healthcare innovations will result in overworked doctors and demanding patients.
And now, here's something else to think about. According to a recent article in Computerworld, pharmacy chain Rite Aid, in conjunction with healthcare provider OptumHealth, is rolling out online physician chat rooms. Patients can virtually chat face-to-face for 10 minutes with a physician for $45. Virtual chats with OptumHealth nurses are free.
Pros of this system:
– Shorter Wait Times: No more Waiting Area blues, and no more wondering if the paper robes cover you adequately enough.
– Doctor-Pharmacy Cross Referencing: If Rite Aid already has a patient's pharmacy history, the provider/nurse can access it any time. No need to rely on a patient's memory any more.
– Electronic Capture of Medical Records: These can be communicated to the patient's PCP in needed.
– No more scheduling tag: Walk in for a chat when YOU are ready.
– Steep price: $45 for a 10 minute chat is a tad high in my book. But when you look at it in terms of what the uninsured have to do to get any medical attention at all (either pay the high consultation rates, or negotiate with a kind-hearted doc for lower fees, or wait till their conditions become full-blown emergencies), it doesn't look as pricey. I would also be really interested in seeing how insurance companies will react to telehealth initiatives like these. Will they, for example, reduce co-pays for such visits?
– Revolving cast of physicians: The advantage of this system is you get to see a medical professional; you'll probably not be able to ask to be connected to that incredibly insightful Dr. Smith you saw last time. Also if this takes off in a big way, maybe it'll be a Dr. Reddy located in Hyderabad, India (though I should go on record at this point – I have absolutely no problem in being seen virtually by a Dr. Reddy or Dr. Khan in Pakistan, or anywhere else in the world)
– Unclear logistics: Say, you have an abcess that you have to get checked on your er… backside. Are the kiosks private enough for truly comfortable patient-doctor interaction? Is there anyone else just offscreen at the doctor's office, watching the video chat?
Definitely things to think about. I want to leave you with anecdotes from a different field – education. A few years ago, tutoring companies in the US figured out that American kids could really benefit from one-on-one tutoring from teachers. VOIP technology became cheap, even international video calls via Skype were free or for pennies a minute. I heard about this phenomenon when I enquired about a teacher at my high school in India. Many teachers at my school had quit to join such companies, and the school was making do with either substandard teachers or filling teaching gaps with part-timers on an ad-hoc basis.
It's too soon to know what route these TeleHealth initiatives will take, but the scenario I described is not impossible with medicine too. While I'm excited about the convenience of these kiosks, I also think it would be a sad day if all/majority of our interaction with our providers is done online.

Michele Bachmann for President!? How about Michele Bachmann for Pastor? I don't see her as a strong candidate for President of the United States, but after hearing Michele Bachmann preach at a church in Iowa, I'm convinced she would be a great candidate for becoming a pastor. It's true she won the Ames Straw Poll last week in Iowa, but why did she win it? Wasn't it because of Bachmann's compelling Christian testimony and her faith-inspired conservative values? If so, isn't this poll really telling us that Bachmann would be a great pastor more so than telling us she would be a good president? I really think she could be a great pastor. She would have to drop the political rhetoric and stick to her more compelling message about her faith, her experience as a Christian, and what she's learned from the Bible. If she could do that, I could see her being a serious candidate for becoming a pastor. Bachmann's passion would be far better applied on this church track rather than on this bid to become President.
Michele Bachmann is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Minnesota, the first Republican woman to represent that state in Congress. In Washington DC, Bachmann founded and chairs the Tea Party Caucus within Congress. Now, with little to no political accomplishments, she's a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2012 U.S. presidential election. And she seems to be very focused on winning the Iowa Caucuses which is the first step toward that goal. The Ames straw poll victory certainly helps her.
In the midst of this campaigning in Iowa, on Sunday, July 24, Michele Bachmann spoke at a conservative Christian church that bans women from leadership and preaching. New Life Community Church Pastor Brian Hagerman explained, "We generally would not have a woman to come to specifically teach because we feel God calls men as pastors to be the primary teachers of their churches." Yet they did invite Michele Bachmann to this church in Marion, Iowa to "share her testimony"—to speak as one believer to fellow believers about what God had done and is doing in her life. They just did not want her teaching the Bible or speaking too heavily about politics.
Doesn't this beg the question as to whether Pastor Hagerman and the members of his church would actually vote for Michele Bachmann to become president? If you do not believe that women should be leaders or preachers in the church, would you be able to support a woman taking on the highest leadership role in the country? Often the belief that woman cannot lead in the church is accompanied by other conservative values like the belief that the man is "the head of household"—the key decision maker and the preference to see women staying at home rather than being in the workforce. I've certainly been in conservative churches that do not believe women should run for political office. In fairness, though, when asked the question, Pastor Hagerman said, "Outside of specifically leading a church or pastoring a church, I personally don't read in scripture that God says a man can have this job and a woman have this job." That seems a bit conflicted to me to believe that a woman cannot lead a church of 200 people but could lead one of the most powerful nations in the world.
Today, there are a growing number of churches which recognize that Jesus fully included women in his teaching ministry and appointed a few of these female disciples to be the very first witnesses of his resurrection. To believe that only men should be leaders in the church like they do in Marion, Iowa is to disregard a lot of evidence for women in leadership in the New Testament church. The Apostle Paul, for example, when writing to the Romans, sends greetings to 27 people who helped to lead the church in Rome and 10 of them are women, more than one-third of the church's leadership. He clearly identifies some of their titles and positions in the church such as Junia the "outstanding" apostle, Priscilla his "co-worker," and Mary, Tryphena and Tryphosa who "worked very hard" for the church. Not only that, this letter to the Romans which some regard as Paul's greatest theological work was delivered to Rome by Phoebe, a deacon of the church at Cenchreae. It is more than likely that she would've presented it to the church in Rome, having been commended to the church by Paul, thus preaching the words written by the apostle. Given this reality of women in leadership in the New Testament era church, there is no reason why women should not be serving as teachers, preachers and pastors in our churches today.
Michele Bachmann is a strong candidate to become a pastor. Though New Life Community Church in Iowa said that Bachmann was not to teach from the Bible, in her speech that day, she preached a sermon, easily the best preaching I've heard this year. It was great. She was interesting and engaging as she shared how she grew up in the church yet somehow missed the gospel, but later did become a Christian and decided to live as a Christian making a difference in this world just as God was calling her to do. And, then, she riveted everyone's attention as she opened the Bible and began to preach. "This is a wonderful story in 1 Samuel 14 that I want to share with you.... [King] Saul was so disheartened that he didn't know what to do. But his son Jonathan did not give up hope. He had a heart that would not be defeated. He had a heart that said we can do this." Bachmann continued, narrating through this incredible biblical story of courage and faith. Then, with Billy Graham-like passion, she made that Scripture come alive to every person listening, as she preached, "Oftentimes challenges that come into our life, whether they are small or whether they are large like Jonathan was facing—those challenges are often brilliantly disguised by our God as an opportunity for him to show his greatness. That he is powerful to save. And so I say to you this morning... never look at a challenge and think that you go it alone. Never think that we serve a God who is not mighty to save. He prevails.... Don't think for a moment that he is not more powerful yet to save." Amen!
I've had the opportunity to hear several new preachers fresh out of seminary preach this year as well as a few seasoned pastors. None of them had even a quarter of the passion and power with which Michele Bachmann delivered that message. Look, I don't understand her political views or how the Republicans could even consider her to be a good candidate for the presidency when she actually advocated for defaulting on the U.S. debt, but I do know that Michele Bachmann can preach. She's a passionate Christian who sincerely wants to live for God. When you look at what is best about Michele Bachmann's campaign presentations in Iowa—her biblical preaching, her faith and her Christian values, let's be serious, she is a great candidate for becoming a pastor. I, for one, would vote for her to be pastor of a church, but not President of the United States.
