UNION — Amy Truitt is Foster Park Elementary School's 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year.
Truitt said her philosophy in regard to teaching is simple.
"Love first and teach second, while still loving," she said. "Love the kid who is rude and disrespectful; love the genius; love the slow to catch on; love the fastest runner; love the kid with the writing so sloppy it gives you a headache to read; love the one that interrupts constantly; love the child who thinks finger painting is equivalent to swimming; love the one who throws up on your shoe; love the one who makes you smile and the one who makes you want to scream. Love them all."
Truitt has taught visual art at Foster Park Elementary School for the past six years. She is also drama club assistant and grant manager. From 2005-2007, Truitt taught third grade at Foster Park Elementary. Between 1996-2005, she taught second and fourth grades as well as resource at Jonesville Elementary.
Truitt earned a Bachelor of Arts in Deaf and Elementary Education with a minor in studio art from Converse College in 1996, and in 2002 she earned a master's degree in elementary education from Converse. In 2005, she became certified to teach art. Since then she has taken various technology-, curriculum- and arts-related courses from Converse College, Winthrop University and the University of South Carolina.
Truitt said she began to think about teaching at a very young age and fondly remembers playing school as a child.
"I have always been a teacher at heart because I was surrounded by those who loved learning — at home, at church, at school, everywhere," Truitt said. "As a young child at church, my teachers and preachers were always folks who treasured learning about God's Word. They set the standard high for me when they challenged me to memorize scripture, learn all of the books of the Bible through a song, and let me know they expected results from my having been at church."
Truitt said she was positively influenced by many of her teachers, but her favorite was Pat McAbee.
"She was the sweetest lady I had ever met, had the most beautiful cursive handwriting I had ever seen, and was a fantastic teacher," Truitt said. "She loved learning, loved language and genuinely loved me! I knew in my heart of hearts that she had a genuine care and concern for me, my education and my well-being. I can still knock on her door today and she — though much older — is still the same person she always was — sweet, genuine, almost angelic in her amount of kindness. Being in her classroom was a thrill just because of who she was. I strive to be the kind of teacher she was for me and the kind of lady she still is today."
Foster Park Elementary School Principal Barbara Palmer said Truitt's teaching philosophy is observable the minute one steps into her classroom.
"Mrs. Truitt believes that students must first feel safe and comfortable in the environment before they feel safe to perform academically," Palmer said. "Students who often do not perform successfully in the regular classroom excel in Mrs. Truitt's class. She is able to pull the artistic ability out of the students and to even make those who are not gifted artistically feel that they are artists. She has a gift for bringing out the best in all students."
Palmer also pointed out that Truitt has been instrumental in writing and receiving "Special Arts Grants" each year for the past several years.
"She devotes extra time and energy voluntarily in order for the students to have experiences they would otherwise not be able to experience," Palmer said. "Our students have had an artist-in-residence for the past several years as a result of her grant writing abilities. They have been afforded the opportunity to work with professional musicians and artists such as sculptors, African drummers and theatrical performers."
Literacy and curriculum coach Patricia Farmer said Truitt's love for students is evident in her methods as well as her investment of time.
"She uses positive reinforcement lavishly, with lots of verbal praise and coaching," Farmer said. "She stays after school to help with programs and activities. She decorates our halls with beautiful art work using her own time. She leads a math academy time group of struggling students and is a very important part of our tutoring plan."
Truitt said the rewards from teaching are too many to count, but one major reward is seeing growth and development in a child. She said she loves seeing personalities develop in a positive way, seeing students become more independent and seeing their confidence increase.
"I guess my greatest contributions and accomplishments in education aren't the awards I have received or the number of art ribbons my students have won," she said. "They are by far the number of students I have influenced in a positive way — the kids who have never had many adults care about them but knew I was genuinely concerned for them; the ones who realized they could learn something or do something they thought was impossible; the students who realized they are worth something even if someone else runs faster or sings higher; the ones who felt loved and accepted and know that if they come up to me today, they still will be. My greatest contribution to education is the number of smiles I have given, the amount of encouragement I have offered, and yes, along with that, the number of lifelong learners I have helped to form and inspire to be the best they could be."
Aside from school, Truitt is involved in the community as a faithful member of Beulah Baptist Church, of which her husband, Mark, is pastor.
"I feel that as a Christian woman who has been blessed in many ways over the years, I have the duty to share these blessings with others," she said.
Through the church, Truitt does missions work, sings in the choir, teaches Sunday School classes, leads the youth/children's choir, leads Vacation Bible School each summer, works in the nursery and teaches Children's Church. While growing up, Truitt was a member of West Springs Baptist Church.

Ground Breaking Ceremony
Hudsonville Public Schools officially began the construction of their new Freshman Campus Facility and Transportation Facility. Board of Education members, students, teachers, administrators, GMB Architects/Engineers, and Triangle Construction members were present and marked the event with shovels in hand. The Hudsonville High School award-winning Chamber Choir began the festivities by singing the "National Anthem."
Thanks to the support of the Hudsonville Community, the new Freshman Campus Facility will be able to service our freshman students on the same site as our current High School. The new Freshman Campus will be a 212,000 square foot school including a natatorium and auditorium. The construction timeline target is to welcome students into the new building the fall of 2014 with the remainder of the facility opening the fall of 2015. The anticipated opening date for the new Transportation Facility will be January of 2014.
"We are truly blessed to have the dreams of this state of the art facility for all Hudsonville students becoming a reality. Were it not for the tremendous support of our community and parents, we would not be here today," remarked Superintendent Ceglarek. During the ceremony, Superintendent Ceglarek, HPS Board President Ken Hall and Freshman Campus Principal Matt Blood thanked the members of the planning team that spent over a year in preparation for this historic day.
These facilities are a part of the larger bond issue that voters approved in May 2011. Other components of the bond include a new South Elementary building, athletic upgrades, converting the existing Freshman Campus to an early childhood center and other needed improvements. Principal Architect David Wilkins stated, "Our architects and engineers at GMB continue to be impressed with the quality and strength of education, planning and preparation which Hudsonville Schools continue to demonstrate through the building process. We work with a great number of organizations and see Hudsonville Public Schools as a model for others."

Autoweek archives: Porsche, same as it ever was? Not quite
In July 1997, Autoweek introduced its readers to the next-generation Porsche 911, the Type 996.
Hot off the Frankfurt motor show release of the redesigned Type 991 2012 Porsche 911, we thought it might be fun to look at how much the iconic German sports car has changed since then.
While it looks like not much has changed, the Type 991 is a brand-new car. Styling cues from the highly anticipated 918 are evident, and Porschephiles will be waiting anxiously for the next Turbo, GT2 and GT3 cars to arrive in the coming years.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Have a safe Memorial weekend!
with your researches in frakking you will know that most of the operators do not have to reveal what they are pumping in the ground. We know that some companies have used chemical slurries cannot be put into drinking water. We don't know what most of these companies because they do not have to reveal this information. This activity is of course a violation of the Clean Water Act. Of course they received a dispensation for that. My reference to mining town was not literal but in the sense that mining leaves behind a wasteland. With frakking you can't see it but it is still there. As with all extractive industries it is exploit and move on leaving the wastes behind. In this regard Frakking is not different than 19 century hydraulic mining. What will this mean to future generations? No one knows especially the frakkers. So will we be poisoning the ground waters of the shale formations and leaving a mess behind for future generations that may need the water?
What we have is very weak regulation of new processes until a major disaster. Frakking will be a future disaster. That is how the government doesn't work. It is a bad idea to pump all kinds of toxic material into the ground. You have no idea where it will go or what problems it will cause. Removing large amounts of water and putting it underground mixed with chemicals can cause water shortages. In some places frakking is using significant amounts of the available water. Frakking is a form of mining and mining is alway destructive and short term. Ever been to an old mining town? What do you see? Junk everywhere and some blocked off holes in the ground.

Friends Remember HSU Student Killed In Accident
By: Maxine Ridling
Updated: August 10, 2012
Friends and coworkers spoke to us today about what kind of person Jessica was. They say she had the biggest heart in the world and truly cared about every person she met. Teammates say she was full of life and when she came into a room you could not help but smile.
After only coaching Jessica for two years, Sabrina Bingham says she was a one of a kind teammate. "She was a fighter. She was somebody that we knew that every time she was on the court she would make us give a 100 percent because that's what she was going to do every single day," Bingham says.
"When she wasn't on the court, Jessica was the type of person who everyone was friends with," teammate, Madison Reyes, added
Jessica focused on more than just volleyball. This past fall, she was one of 52 student athletes named to the American Southwest Conference All Academic Honor Roll.
Jessica was supposed to be at Luskey's Western Wear at ten this morning for work. When she didn't show up, her manager, Sonny Dillard knew something was wrong. Dillard says Rogers would do anything for anyone and says she had a bright future. "She had plans in the future of starting her own business. It's just a tragedy," Dillard says.
This is a tragedy her teammates say they will try to put behind them, as they try to move forward.
Members of the Hardin Simmons volleyball team and other students will meet with athletic director John Neese and the university chaplain tomorrow afternoon.

Supermarket and homemade soup-mix dips have relegated the crudités platter to a bad memory. But the proper base and a few bold ingredients can bring it back.
Mediocre vegetables and insipid soup-mix dips may be what we remember from childhood, but they aren't necessarily what we want to eat. Tubs of gummy, musty, store-bought dips are no better.
To create dips with well-balanced, creamy bases and a few fresh and assertive ingredients that, with minimal effort, would draw a crowd.
Start with either a mayonnaise/sour cream or mayonnaise/yogurt base for body, richness, and perfectly velvety texture. Add flavor-charged ingredients—the fewer the better—for maximum flavor with minimum fuss.

The Wallabies claimed the Cook Cup with a 20-14 victory at Twickenham.
"We were not clinical enough," Robshaw told Sky Sports 1.
"All credit goes to them. They came here and did a job. We need to go away and look at where we lost points."
England choose to run the ball rather than go for three points in the second half, for which they failed to add to their points tally.
"You need to make sure if you do go, you come away with the points," Robshaw admitted.
And asked if the best team won, he said: "Potentially."
Australia captain Nathan Sharpe said: "We spoke about character and resolve this week and I thought the effort was outstanding."
Australia's scrum had been put under the microscope in the lead-up to the match and Sharpe added: "Our scrum was outstanding."
England coach Stuart Lancaster said his side did not underestimate the Australian scrum.
"Disappointed with the scrum, particularly with the penalty count," he said.
"But overall we have to make sure we manage it on the day."
Lancaster said he was disappointed with the result.
"We put alot of pressure on them and we didn't come away with points when we needed to," he said.
"We have got to take those points when we are in the red zone."

Ran over this hose with a steel wheel of my 6 ton floor jack(on accident). Seeing the hose there at the last minute i expected it to start leaking air as the jack hit it. It held up to my surprise. Good price on this hose for how rugged it is.

I only like craftman rubber hoses. I have tried others and for the price and durability I have not found any better. My 25' hose is 15 yrs old and this should last just as long

I've had numerious rubber air hoses through out the years. Years ago, I sold all my tools when I sold my garage. I recently decided to purchase some woodworking and automotive tools for hobby use. I used this hose twice and it was a pain in the neck to handle. The third time I went to use it, I found a huge bubble at one end of the hose. I exchanged it today for a Flexzilla hose at Sears. Hopefully this is better.

Simply update your OpenSUSE distro which is the base of the OBS server appliance.
zypper update
This file briefly describes how to setup an OBS Light Server
(OBS) after an update to the version 2.3.xxx
(note the v 2.2.992 behaves like a 2.3)
You will not the problem as after that upgrade nothing work :-(
You will need :
- upgrade your databased schema - move from lighthttpd to apache2 (the best thing in that move) - move to https - change your default OBS config in OBS light to point to https and the new api port. - potentially recover some icons (sse joined tar file in this wiki page)
find /etc/init.d/ -name obs\* -exec echo {} stop \;
zypper in rubygem-rdoc
cd /srv/www/obs/api/ sudo RAILS_ENV="production" rake db:setup sudo chown -R wwwrun.www log tmp
cd /srv/www/obs/webui/ sudo RAILS_ENV="production" rake db:setup sudo chown -R wwwrun.www log tmp
As getting the DNS fully correctly and configured is not that easy and not always under your control, you need to check that the right hostname will be return by the system
hostname -f
If the result is not obslightserver
echo "obslightserver" > /etc/HOSTNAME
Do not let dhcp change the hostname
vim /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME="no"
Now we need to configure the webserver. By default, you can reach the familiar web user interface on port 443 (e.g: https://localhost), the api on port 444 (e.g. https://localhost:444), and the repos on port 82 (once some packages are built).
Note: If you configure a mobile OBS (e.g. a laptop for training or demos) or that you are connecting on a network where you IP address or name is not stable (e.g. a VPN), you do not want to activate ssh.
In that case comment all related ssh parameter and replace https:// by http:// in config file.
Note these is a change from the previous ports allocation. You can either change the new default port back to the previous 80 and 82 or keep the new one and change your OBS configuration (I assume the later as I prefer to be in line with new documentation)
An overview page about your OBS instance can be found behind http://obslightserver
The obs-api package comes with a apache vhost file, which does not need to get modified when you stay with these defaults: /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/obs.conf
Install the required packages via
zypper in obs-api apache2 apache2-mod_xforward rubygem-passenger-apache2
Add the follwing apache modules in /etc/sysconfig/apache2:
APACHE_MODULES="... passenger rewrite proxy proxy_http xforward headers"
Enable SSL in /etc/sysconfig/apache2 via
Enable a local config to force server name to be obslightserver
Create the apapche local config files
mkdir /etc/apache2/local.d/ echo "ServerName obslightserver" > /etc/apache2/local.d/serverName.conf
Correct the name of the server in the default static page (depending of your dns configuration, it might be incorrect)
vi /srv/www/obs/overview/index.html The OBS webui can be used to setup OBS, browse the content and to build packages. The OBS api URL(https://obslightserver:444) can be used in clients like osc and to manage user accounts via a browser. The OBS repositories contain the build results, the repositories can be added to package managers like zypper or apt.
Generate an ssl certificate via following commands: Note
mkdir /srv/obs/certs openssl genrsa -out /srv/obs/certs/server.key 1024 openssl req -new -key /srv/obs/certs/server.key \ -out /srv/obs/certs/server.csr openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in /srv/obs/certs/server.csr \ -signkey /srv/obs/certs/server.key -out /srv/obs/certs/server.crt cat /srv/obs/certs/server.key /srv/obs/certs/server.crt \ > /srv/obs/certs/server.pem
If you change the hostnames/IPs of the api, you need to adjust "source_server_url" accordingly in
You should set "exception_recipients" to a valid mail address which should receive notification mail if the WebUI hits any program exception.
It is recommended to enable
as well here.
If you change the hostnames/ips of the api, you need to adjust "source_server_url" accordingly in
You should set "exception_recipients" to a valid mail address which should receive notification mail if the API hits any program exception.
It is recommended to enable
as well here.
Afterwards you can start the OBS web api via
rcapache2 start # use "insserv apache2" for permanent start rcobsapidelayed start # use "insserv obsapidelayed" for permanent start
insserv -r lighttpd
To change (if needed) the default URLs of the api, configure the apache2 vhosts accordingly. Edit /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/obs.conf and add the new virtual hostnames.
Then change the FRONTEND_HOST variable in /srv/www/obs/webui/config/environments/production.rb to also point to the new api URL.
The config.yml from chap. 3 and 4 lust be in line with that config as well as the file /srv/www/obs/overview/index.html
The current update process seems to create circular links you can find them by running the command find /srv/www/obs/ -name package_add.png -exec file {} \;
If that is the case, I have uploaded on this wiki the correct images and icons. You will find them in File:Bento-images.tgz
cd /srv/www/obs/webui/public/themes/bento tar xzvf bento-image.tgz
In order to use the command line tool for the build service, run osc with
osc -A https://obslightserver:444 ls
for example. osc asks the first time for a user and password pair.
* logs are located in various directories.
apache2: /var/log/apache2 obs: /srv/obs/log api: /srv/www/obs/api/log webui: /srv/www/obs/webui/log

A small selection of alcoholic beverages are available for sale from our Café Bar and provided as complimentary to our passengers travelling in First Class, however we may refuse or discontinue service to any person that is deemed to be intoxicated or impaired.
There will be occasions when services are deemed 'Dry Trains' this means the consumption of alcohol is prohibited on board these services.

East Coast train seat maps can be viewed from the desk top version of the East Coast website here
There are various reasons why you may not get a seat reservation:
-The ticket type you have purchased does not include automatic seat reservations.
-Seat reservations may not be available on the journey you are taking – e.g. if it is a short distance service.
-The train operator may not have released seat reservations at that time. The train operator will only open seat reservations when the train path has been confirmed by Network Rail. This is usually 12 weeks ahead of your travel date.
-The train on which you wish to travel is full at the time of booking.
If you wish to reserve a seat for a ticket already purchased, please visit a Travel Centre or call Web Support at least 2 hours prior to the train's departure from its originating station, who will do their best to accommodate your request.

Ticket questions and queries
Child Tickets
Children under the age of 5 travel free of charge so you will not have to purchase a ticket for their journey. Please keep in mind that they will not have a seat reservation and they will be expected to sit on your knee if the train is busy. If you wish them to have a seat reservation then you will need to purchase a child's ticket.
For children aged 5 to 15 inclusive there are discounted fares available These fares will be displayed during the booking process.
One of the most economical ways to purchase a child's fare can be to purchase a Family & Friends Railcard. This gives a 33% discount on adult fares and a 60% discount on child fares when all travelling together in Standard Class. For further information please see www.familyandfriends-railcard.co.uk.
Save for later
The 'Save for later' function on the desk top version if the website allows you to hold the dates and times selected for your journey, however does not save any fare selected. This function allows you to contact colleagues with dates/times to check suitability for your journey.
Sleeper Bookings
It is possible to book tickets on First ScotRail Caledonian Sleeper services via the East Coast desk top website, however we are only able to offer seat (not berth) reservations. If you would like to book a ticket and reserve a berth, you will need to contact First ScotRail directly, or visit a station.
If you have any queries regarding what you have booked, please check your booking in "My Account" from the desk top version of the East Coast website or contact our Web Support team on 08457 225111.
N.B. If you are purchasing a flexible/open ticket via our site and intend to travel on a Sleeper service, a reservation must be held. You will not be permitted to board without a reservation.
Advance tickets are sold only as singles(one-way) and if you can be flexible about your travel times, you're more likely to get the lowest available prices. As these attractive fares are quickly snapped up, try to book ahead if you can. We will allocate your seat when you book your ticket.
You can buy Advance tickets in Standard and First Class. You may even want to book Standard Class for your outward journey and First Class for your return journey, or vice versa. Even if you can only travel off-peak on one leg of your journey, you may still get better value fares because you can buy the lowest price single ticket for every stage of your trip.
Standard and First Advance tickets usually go on sale about 12 weeks before departure.
We offer a range of tickets and value–added packages to suit your requirements and budget. Most tickets fall into one of the following categories:

Advance tickets are subject to availability and carry restrictions in terms of which dates and trains you must travel on. The tickets go on sale approximately 12 weeks ahead of travel.

2/Buy anytime, travel off-peak:

GALLIPOLIS — A Veterans Day parade organized by the Gallia County Veterans Service Commission will be held in downtown Gallipolis this Sunday in honor of all local military veterans and to demonstrate community support for their service.
Parade participants will gather at 10 a.m. on Sunday, November 11 on Spruce Street between First and Second Avenue to form the parade order. Beginning at 10:30 a.m. the parade will proceed down Second Avenue and will end at the Doughboy Monument on First Avenue where a Veterans Day program will begin at 11 a.m.
This year's guest speaker for the event is Michael A. Michalski.
Michalski has held numerous leadership positions in various veterans' organizations and remains a strong advocate for those who have served.
He served his country in the United States Marine Corps for four years and completed two years of inactive service. In June 2000, Michalski was elected to the position of State Commander for the AMVETS Department of Ohio.
If the veterans service commission decides that weather will prevent the parade from occurring, the Veterans Day program will continue and will be moved to the Ariel Theatre where it will begin at 11 a.m. as scheduled.

Weekend Sermon: A Tale of Two Cities
This sermon is a clear reminder that we each have a choice. We can work to build cities that celebrate God's love for us (the lineage of Seth), or we can live in the destructive lineage of Cain. May the spirit of prayer, humility, and love characterize the world's cities on this the tenth anniversary of America's most stark example of "The Tale of Two Cities."

Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Raising Children to Pursue Truth
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Science and Faith on a Secular Campus
While many Christian colleges actively seek to help their students engage issues of faith and science constructively, few secular colleges are active in promoting the conversation. As a professor at a secular school, how can I encourage my students to authentic engagement and dialogue on science and faith issues?
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 3
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
Mending the Disconnect
How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?
The State of Evolution (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about evolution and public education in the United States. The graphic, titled "The State of Evolution", draws upon sources from USA Today, the National Center for Science Education, and Pew Forum, and shows two challenges to a widespread understanding of the science of evolution in the United States.
Allaying Parental Fears About Evolution Education in Public Schools
If they left their children in the public classroom, should they as concerned parents, as committed Christians, as agents of truth and light in this dark world, remain quiet or should they speak out?
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.

Dead Bones with a Living Message
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.

The graduation gift that she made me was hand drawn with my name and different definitions for each letter. She framed it and I cherish it.....I also would have paid about $50 for it in a store.
