You can see here a basic map of Lisbon from OpenStreetMap, but you can switch easily to other types of the map: Just choose the second option above the map and you can see Bing Maps, which offer other types of detailed maps of Lisbon, related countries, geographical places etc. You can also switch to aerial and birds eye maps of Lisbon there.
You may remember we offered other types of maps here also in the past, for example Google Maps, Nokia Maps and MapQuest Maps, and many kinds of their infomaps, like the traffic map, bike trails, weather map, map with photos and map of public transport from these sources. But some of these services cancelled their operations or changed the conditions under which their maps may be displayed. We sincerely hope you appreciate these new kinds of maps here, as you can see, for example, the difference between the OpenStreetMap vector map tiles from Mapzen shown by Leaflet here and the bitmap tiles from Bing Maps. We are considering adding more maps of Lisbon in the near future again.
You may not only switch among different types of maps using the switches above the map, but you can also change settings of the map using controls on the map. See more details of Lisbon using the zoom control on the left side or see street or terrain map of Lisbon using the controls on the top of the map (Bing Maps). In the past you could also place the yellow figure (Google Maps) to see a street view of any interesting place, but this feature is not available here anymore. But you can see the Birds eye view on the Bing Maps here. Notice: Not all features are available everywhere. Some maps offer more details then the others.
Look below to see more useful information regarding Lisbon and the map of Lisbon. You can find links to other places related to Lisbon, but there are also tips about how to easily print the map of Lisbon, where to find detailed information about Lisbon, how to plan your journey and much more. Our primary target is to allow you to compare different types of maps, but we would also like to offer you more when considering your travels and learning about the World.

From "Nikki Who?" to Nikki the "Raghead" Whore in Less Than a Month
A month ago, few people outside of South Carolina knew of State Rep. Nikki Haley. But that didn't stop her opponents from wetting themselves when Haley picked up some impressive endorsements and her gubernatorial campaign gained momentum.
Don't worry, said their trusty consultants as they mopped up the puddles, a scarlet letter oughta finish her off. And if a little old fashioned slut-baiting doesn't do the trick, we'll just make sure everyone knows Nimrata Randhawa Haley is secret "raghead." Trust us, the good ol' boys in South Cackalacky know just how to handle a foreign lady who's in our way.
And thus began their Hail Mary pass to sideline the uppity woman with the ethnic name.
Why bother? Because Haley's record of fighting for transparent government is a direct threat to politics as usual at the Statehouse. South Carolina's good ol' boys are terrified that Haley will force on-the-record legislative voting, so they scraped the sewers for the scummiest strategy imaginable.
Up first was Will Folks, the fiancée-beating degenerate who titillated the drooling media with unsubstantiated tales of his "inappropriate physical relationship" with Haley. Haley has been married for 13 years and Folks claims the affair occurred in 2007.
News organizations from the New York Times to the Greenville News printed Folks' allegations, dutifully including the contention that he was a longtime Haley cheerleader. Oddly, none of them mentioned that just after Haley announced her gubernatorial bid, Folks posted a mock interview in which he threatened her with violence:
You need to learn to count. And while you're at it, shut your mouth. Don't you know I beat up women, like all the time? Nikki, what I'm saying is that if you can't beat these [inaudible] mouth-breathing, inbred knuckle-draggers with one hand tied behind your back then someone should raise a fist up against you.
What could have possibly motivated this fine upstanding gentleman to help undermine Haley's candidacy? After all, entering a guilty plea on one criminal domestic violence charge couldn't mean he's got a problem with the ladies, now could it? Perhaps this diehard Haley supporter will come clean about his hatred of women in the book he's currently shopping … if the price is right.
Next at bat was Larry Marchant, former employer of Will Folks and a paid consultant to gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer. Marchant just happened to pick the week before the primary to tell the world that he and Haley had a one night stand in 2008. The proof? Why, his word, that's the proof! If it's good enough for the media, it should be good enough for you.
Starting to see how this works?
Haley says she's been 100 percent faithful to her husband throughout their marriage, and even promised to resign if any allegations are proven. But proof isn't really the point. The point is to raise doubt about her virtue and leave voters with the indelible impression of a home wrecking hussy who sluts around Columbia with all sorts of sleazeballs.
And that impression is just fine with Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer. In a Friday press release, Bauer suggested that Haley take a lie detector test, presumably because a lying whore can't be taken at her word. But a couple of jowly dudes talking smack about the hot chick they banged? Totally credible in Bauer's neck of the gutter. As Melissa Clouthier noted, there is "deep misogyny" involved in this campaign to sink Haley.
As if the misogyny weren't bad enough, Haley's opponents are bringing other forms of bigotry into the mix. U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett's team reportedly "discussed playing the religion card" against Haley (who his aides privately refer to as "Nimrata"). And Friday morning, a member of the Bauer campaign emailed supporters an article that asks:
After seeing how the faith issue hurt Mitt Romney and damaged Barack Obama to some extent as well, is Haley making a political decision by playing up her Christian faith (just like Obama did) and LOSING the Sikh emphasis?
Haley was raised Sikh and converted to Christianity. But again, that's not really the point, is it? Haley's religious roots are being emphasized in an attempt to paint her as a scary outsider, someone who can't govern South Carolina because she isn't like us.
Anyone taking bets on how long it'll be until someone asks for her birth certificate? Better yet, will State Senator Jake Knotts be the first? The Free Times reports:
"She's a f#!king raghead," Knotts said.
He later clarified his statement. He did not mean to use the F-word.
Knotts says he believed Haley has been set up by a network of Sikhs and was programmed to run for governor of South Carolina by outside influences in foreign countries. He claims she is hiding her religion and he wants the voters to know about it.
"We got a raghead in Washington; we don't need one in South Carolina," Knotts said more than once. "She's a raghead that's ashamed of her religion trying to hid it behind being Methodist for political reasons."
Knotts, a Bauer supporter, says he's called Haley a "raghead" a number of times and that he was just joking. He added, "I still believe Ms. Haley is pretending to be someone she is not, much as Obama did, but I apologize to both for an unintended slur."
This isn't the first time Knotts attempted the "I was joking" excuse to get out of a sticky situation. Here's the ProQuest abstract of a Jun 6, 1996 Sentinel article titled "White Lawmaker Angers Blacks":
Several black and white legislators objected when South Carolina state Rep Jake Knotts introduced amendments to the black monument bill that would have created monuments for Scottish-Americans, Polish-Americans and others. Knotts later announced that he had only been joking about the bill.
Oh, but there's more. In 2003, Knotts worked himself into a frenzy over a group of Somali Bantu refugees who were going to be "dumped" in his district. He insisted the 40-50 Bantu children would "lower our SAT scores and our accountability." (The State, Jun 28, 2003)
Hmm, seems like the persecuted immigrants didn't need to bring any stupid. Knotts made sure there was plenty to go around.
With a despicable history like that, would it be surprising if we learned that political operatives sent Knotts to tape a live talk show knowing that he wouldn't bother to self-censor his bigotry? Is is out of the realm of possibility that they wanted–even encouraged–him to blow the dog whistle, alerting fellow bigots to the "raghead" in our midst?
Just like allegations of adultery were intended to tap into existing voter misogyny, these religious and ethnic slurs were designed to exploit voter bigotry. Bigotry that doesn't exist at anywhere near the levels bigots think it does.
When Nikki Haley launched her campaign in May 2009, reporter John O'Connor wrote, "To become governor, Haley will have to overcome questions about her Indian heritage and whether S.C. voters will accept a woman chief executive."
A year later, Haley is leading the race. I guess she overcame those questions more easily than her opponents hoped. Now it's time to focus on the issues that matter to the people of South Carolina.
Full disclosure: I am a volunteer with Nikki Haley's gubernatorial campaign.

There's liable to be as many people vote for her because they believe she's a whore as there are those who will vote against her because of it. People are really strange. If there are people who will vote for or against a woman just because she's a woman, why not? In a way, I'm sorry her and Alvin Greene aren't running against each other, that would be one rip-roaring race.

MLS Features: McInerney should get a national shot
Philadelphia, PA – Jack McInerney simply can't stop scoring and people are noticing.
The Philadelphia Union forward netted his seventh goal of the season on Saturday, leading his club to a gutsy 1-0 win over the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park.
The Union played poorly for much of the match and had loads of trouble keeping possession of the ball in the midfield, but one moment of brilliance with 15 minutes remaining made sure the visitors claimed an unlikely three points.
Sebastien Le Toux set the eventual winning play in motion with a quickly taken free kick which caught the Fire defense off-guard. Le Toux's aerial ball landed right at the feet of McInerney, who fended off Fire defender Jalil Anibaba and slid it past goalkeeper Sean Johnson.
McInerney's seven goals put him atop the MLS Golden Boot standings and, at 20, he is the youngest player in league history to lead the league in goal scoring at any point during the campaign.
The young forward was drafted by the Union in 2010 as a 17-year-old with loads of potential, but he played sparingly during his first three years in the City of Brotherly Love under former coach Peter Nowak.
Last season, McInerney was regularly left out of the 18-man squad by Nowak and was contemplating asking for a trade, but then Nowak was fired by Philadelphia and "Jack Mac" got the opportunity he so desperately needed.
Current Philadelphia head coach John Hackworth, who coached McInerney at the U.S. Under-17 residency program in Bradenton, Fla., immediately inserted him into the starting lineup upon taking over for Nowak and the move paid dividends as McInerney finished with a team-best eight goals last term.
McInerney has clearly carried that form over to this season and is the Union's biggest star attraction on a team full of youth and potential.
The question is: if McInerney can keep up his form, should he be called up to the U.S. men's national team ahead of this summer's Gold Cup competition?
Absolutely, he should.
The national team will have a busy schedule this summer as the club competes in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, as well as a handful of meaningful 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
Many of the most recognizable names on the senior squad (Landon Donovan, Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard and others) are unlikely to see significant minutes during the Gold Cup in order to focus on the World Cup qualifiers, which leaves manager Jurgen Klinsmann with a bevy of roster choices for those matches.
Klinsmann has shown in the past that he is not opposed to calling up unproven MLS players as long as they produce for their club.
This year's January training camp featured 21 MLS players, including first- time call-ups Tally Hall, Tony Beltran and Will Bruin.
Additionally, the U.S. team hasn't received much production out of its forwards and is waiting for someone to step up and take that mantle as there have been a laundry list of names positioned up top by Klinsmann who have failed to get the job done.
Jozy Altidore has been the incumbent forward for Klinsmann, and although he tore up the Dutch Eredivisie this season for 23 goals -- and 31 across all competitions -- he can't seem to get it done for his country, having not scored in a U.S. match in over a year.
Eddie Johnson has returned to the U.S. fold, but hasn't found the back of the net consistently, and last season's Golden Boot winner, Chris Wondolowski, has seldom played for Klinsmann and has yet to score.
McInerney has a nose for goal and is what some would describe as a "poacher."
That's not the best of terms, but the description is accurate as McInerney makes smart runs off the ball and always seems to find himself in perfect position to bury it into the back of the net when the opportunity arises.
His offensive instincts and knack for being in the right place at the right time could give the U.S. side some much-needed production out of its strikers.
And while it is too early in the season to anoint McInerney as MLS's best scorer, if he continues to find the back of the net, he certainly deserves a shot to be on the field when the United States opens its Gold Cup schedule on July 9 against Belize.

What to do with a bucketful of Zucchini
On the other hand there is the "Z" (zucchini for those non-gardeners). My neighbor brought over a few pieces of the following "z" coffee cake and I was left wanting more. Don't know if it was because of the frosting or what, but I thought I would share the recipe because it is quick and easy, and I had never seen this recipe before (that I can remember).
2 cups grated zucchini (or a little more - whatever!)
1/2 cup oil
Mix these together and set aside.
Mix together the following:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar (could this be reduced - only an experiment will tell you)
1 1/4 tsp soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
Add dry ingredients to zucchini mixture. At first it will be kind of dry, but the consistency improves as you stir.
Add 2 tsp vanilla and nuts, if you like them.
Pour in pan (greased? or ungreased? Hmmm, the sharer of the recipe didn't include that little tidbit). Bake at 375 for app 22 minutes.
Frost with Duncan Hines Creamy Homestyle coconut frosting - see, I told you there was a reason I really liked this little cake.

zucchini is the vegetable from hell. It sucks you in with a few pleasant things for you to make with it and then you decide to grow your own. It's a water logged weed. It grows faster and more prolific than peach fuzz.
You make cakes, bread, relish, you cook it with squash, you feed the rabbits but you still can't get rid of it. There is but one choice, you give it away. You give it to friends, the UPS driver, you leave it at church, you put a for free sign up at your drive way. It still grows. Friends won't open their door to you anymore,UPS stops delivering, recommends FED-EX,there's a sign in the church,"please, DON'T," and teens start aiming for the goods in your driveway. Be very careful.

Steve, you are a wit without peer. Around here, the mantra is to be sure to lock your car at church. Out neighbor, being a novice gardener, planted eight (8) plants. 'Nuff said. One has done fine for us, allowing us to share with everyone. Plant the scallop squash (pattipan). It's much more pleasant in texture, really good fried with a little seasoning salt, or in a casserole with bacon, milk, eggs, and bread crumbs. I did find one recipe for zucchini patties that is good. If anyone wants it, e-mail me, and I'll send it to you. (Aunt Sofe even used to mix grated zucchini with pineapple, and then can it.)

The bigger they are, the more nummy meatloaf you can stuff 'em with, Dad. And I seem to remember a certain delightful zucchini chocolate cake. Speaking of which, I went to a vegetarian cooking class a couple of years ago, and was treated to a terrific broccoli-chocolate (carob, actually) cake. There's no end to the wonders of green vegetables.

Failure of Bier Block-is this common?
About 2 months ago, I had ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel surgery on my right arm/hand with a Bier Block, which was awesome. I didn`t want any IV sedation unless absolutely necessary (previous bad experience with this) and the CRNA complied with this request giving me 45mg of propofol and 4ml of fentanyl total during the procedure, which took just over 1 hour. I was awake and aware, just as I wanted to be and the numbness in my arm was absolute. Last week I went back to have the other arm/hand done, everything else the same and it was a very painful procedure; despite them using a lot more propofol and fentanyl….But the procedure came out well; I`m not complaining. My arm never got numb and it was a long and painful experience. I have to undergo another procedure shortly in which this same type of block is used; my question is: how common is it for these blocks to fail? My right arm/hand were about the same as far as the EMG/NCV tests went and everything else was the same, the block just didn`t seem to work. Thanks.
A Bier block is a safe and effective anesthetic for short surgical procedures on the arm, and, less commonly, the leg. Bier block is also known as intravenous regional block. I don't have any statistics on how often Bier blocks fail, but this does happen occasionally.
For a Bier block to be effective, the arm must be exsanguinated as much as possible (the arm is elevated and venous blood is squeezed out of the arm using a long elastic bandage). Then the blood pressure cuff is inflated above systolic blood pressure. If the inflation pressure is not high enough, or the exsanguination is done poorly, the block is less likely to succeed because the local anesthetic is diluted. If you have high blood pressure a Bier block is less effective.
A variety of different drugs have been used in Bier blocks. The main agent is a local anesthetic like lidocaine, but additional drugs ("adjuvants") have been used to make the block more effective or last longer. Sometimes the continued pressure applied by the cuff becomes very uncomfortable, even unbearable, and this is the main reason why some intravenous sedation is necessary. Finally, Bier blocks have a finite duration, related to the duration of action of the local anesthetic but also to the length of time that the tissues of the arm can tolerate being without their blood supply. The maximum time is about 90 minutes.

BONN — The Indonesian government is saying that it is buying more than 160 Leopard 2 main battle tanks, Marder infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and support tanks from Germany. It expects the first shipment before the end of this year.
"All the political and administrative processes are complete, we are in the production phase," Deputy Defense Secretary Sjafrie Sjamsuddin told dpa news agency in Jakarta on Oct. 30.
The tanks would be used vehicles and bought by an armament company, which modernizes the vehicles and resells them. Indonesia names Düsseldorf-based Rheinmetall as its contract partner. The deal is supposed be worth around 216 million euros ($280 million).
Rheinmetall already delivers the tank's 120mm smoothbore gun, the fire control technology, the C4I systems and ammunition of the Leopard 2.
"Like we already did in the past, we will not comment publicly on possible customer relations," a spokesman of the Düsseldorf-based company said when asked about any possible tank deals between his company and Indonesia.
"We are buying Leopard 2A4 and Leopard 2 Revolution models that are already modified and have new armaments," Sjafrie told The Jakarta Post on Oct. 31: "We can use them as soon as they arrive."
He said that the government was buying about 100 Leopard 2 MBTs, 50 Marder IFVs, seven supporting tanks — including bridge, recovery and ambulances — and tank transporters.
The MBT Revolution is a modular upgrade package, developed by Rheinmetall. It adapts the vehicles better to urban warfare situations and low-intensity conflicts with asymmetric threats.
What makes the story especially interesting is the fact that a representative of the German Ministry for Economics and Technology said on Oct. 29, "There is no request prior to export of Leopard tanks to remain in Indonesia." In Germany all arms deals have to be approved by the Federal Security Council, which meets in closed session.
The story erupted on Oct. 29 after the announcement of the Indonesian Defense Ministry that it will sign an accordant memorandum of understanding with its German partner on Nov. 7 in Jakarta.
Indonesian Defense Ministry spokesman Hartind Asrin was reported by dpa Jakarta to have said, that his country would in the future produce the Leopards at the country's weapons manufacturer PT. Pindad.
"The memorandum of understanding will stipulate the transfer of technology and the provision of spare parts," he was quoted.
According to the ministry official, the German government would be aware of ongoing talks between German companies and Indonesia about buying Leopard tanks
"Basically, the signing of a memorandum of understanding between a company that wants to sell military equipment, and a foreign government, which wants to purchase military equipment, does not require permission from the federal government."
As a source for future Indonesian tanks, Rheinmetall had already been mentioned on Sept. 13 in the online edition of The Jakarta Post. In the same story, it also reported the intention of the Southeast Asian country to buy 50 Marder 1A3 type infantry fighting vehicles and 10 supporting tanks from Germany.
If any such tank deal would materialize and be approved by the government, Indonesia would be the second Asian user of the Leopard 2 MBT after Singapore which has around 90 tanks. Fifteen countries worldwide operate the tank in various versions. Besides Indonesia, the two Arab kingdoms of Saudi Arabia and Qatar are reported to be interested in buying the German tank for their armies.

The Old Time Housewife
Before American Feminism took root in the 1970's, women looked forward to marriage, family and a home of their own. A Girl would spend years learning to cook and clean and take care of a home. She might gather special things for her future life. She hoped for a future as a wife and a mother. When that day finally came, it was like her graduation. The moment she stepped into her first place, whether an apartment or house, she got right to work.
She dressed nicely, did laundry, baked, cooked, grocery shopped and kept a nice home. She catered to her husband and followed his wishes, just like a secretary would assist her boss. There was a mutual respect and admiration - each contributing much needed skills to the marriage. Each had their place.
These old time housewives took great pride in their work. And they were grateful. The husbands wanted their wives at home. One common saying was heard by these good men, "I don't want my wife working." A husband wanted the home kept. He didn't want his wife running around, getting into trouble, gossiping, or working to earn the living. He wanted his wife dependent on him, which in return helped make her sweet and gentle and thankful. If she became discontent with the income he earned, or tried to run out and earn the living, she was usurping his authority - she was criticizing his role. A good wife learned to adjust her housekeeping to the lifestyle her husband provided her - whether in a small, humble cabin or a grand mansion.
A wife who was sheltered and protected in the home, the kind who loved being there, this wife was the joy of the family. Her sweet spirit was surrounded by her loved ones. She was there for all their troubles and turmoils. She was there to nurse them from the pain of the world. And they dearly loved her! She was not distracted by schemes of getting rich, or finding herself. She was not lured away by the local mall or the endless luncheons put on by women's clubs. She was home and happy and cherished. Why was she cherished? Because she was grateful and humble and willing to serve her family.
When a housewife acts like they did in the old days, eventually it brings out the chivalry in a man. It makes him want to protect and care for her. But her actions must be genuine, and they come from years of trial and error. The good wife is motivated by her desire to do her part, without any reward. But, the reward does come.
Something went wrong, over the years, when these old time housewives stopped setting the example to the younger generation. The young people of today prefer sloth, messy homes, and co-habitation over an old fashioned home life. They find no pride in keeping a nice home. I wonder if this is because some feminist came along and whispered in their ear, that the floor does not have to be scrubbed or that it was okay for dust to accumulate. Her whispers told the wife that she deserved better and she wasn't being treated right. Feminist trickery was designed to make the wife unproductive and take away her work at home. So she would be free to run around, or get into her husband's business and try to usurp his role. I wonder if these little, subtle steps, slowly eroded the yearning for a godly family. I wonder if this breakdown started with being tricked into running off and neglecting the home.

Mrs. White, I enjoyed reading this so much! I was married in the seventies and so many friends told me I "needed more" than to just be a house-wife. It's all I have ever wanted and I do not regret that for one minute, neither do my husband and children.

Mrs. White, Another lovely description of the blessed life of the Proverbs 31 woman. I am so thankful that I was long ago delivered from the lie of feminism, into this wonderful life I live--described especially well in paragraph four of your post--about Being Cherished. But this is a mystery to some. Paul said what has the fragrance of life to some, has the smell of death to others. It seems you must have touched a nerve, with some readers, according to some of the comments. May I be so bold as to graciously remind any readers who do not enjoy your blog that they are not obligated to keep coming back? I for one, enjoy your writing very much, for it encourages me in my wonderful vocation of being wife and mother and homemaker. Thank you again.
- February 11, 2012 at 11:33 AM
First time here and may I say that this is GREAT! I do believe in what you wrote about a stay at home wife. We are our husbands' helpmeet! We are given a great responsibility to keep a home and ALL that it entails.
I will be married for 20 years this April. I started out as someone who worked in the world - but due to health reasons I had to quit. Thank the Lord for bringing me home where I belong! It was an adjustment I will admit, and one that I didn't like in the beginning. But now, I wouldn't trade it for the world! I see the importance of it.

Mrs White,
I am always very encouraged by your posts. My children and husband reap the benefits when I am at peace and content in the vocation of homemaker that God has given me. It is so true that these days there is a lot of pressure to get out and "do something worthwhile" but I am blessed to have a husband and friends who encourage me that there is nothing more important than caring for the very people right next to me, in my own home. I am thankful that some women are nurses, teachers, etc - but I feel for them if they are also trying to take care of their husband and children. I used to work part time after I had my first child and even that was a stretch for me. I felt like I wasn't truly able to give enough energy to either vocation. I know that not every woman is able to stay home these days, for various reasons, but I'm thankful that I can. Thank you again for your encouraging words!

Mrs White,
Thank you so much for posting this, I could not agree more. My mother told me over and over again as a child I could not "just" be a homemaker..it was not a job. It is a job, and it is the single most important physical "job" a woman has here on this earth. I feel very blessed to have a husband that has never wanted his wife working. I have been a homemaker since I was 18and I have absolutely no regrets and only praises to my King. Ladies this truly is what we are to be doing...do not fear.
In Christ, Jodi

I know exactly what your critical comments were like. I've gotten them, too.
Usually, these complaints come from women who have been hurt by men who have acted in an ungodly manner toward them. But, wicked men -- even those who profess to be believers -- should not be the cog in the wheel of teachings on godly womanhood.
While it is true there are many hurting marriages and torn homes in the Church today, that does not change the biblical ideal which we pray and strive for. In fact, it is because there are so many examples of godlessness in Christian homes today that it is ALL THE MORE URGENT to proclaim the ideal Christian home, the ideal which is ONLY possible by faith.
Please DO NOT let the naysayers stop you from giving hope to others who believe God is able to make all grace abound in their lives and homes.
Praying for you, Sister.

This was a wonderful post! I am sorry you got negative comments...I always enjoy what you have to say. I am the daughter of a feminist who is surprised at how happy I am to be home with my children- homeschooling, housekeeping, cooking. But I have worked in the past, even been a single mom for a time, and I wouldn't trade this for anything. The interesting thing is how much my mom has 'come around' and supports my decision and goes on quite a bit about how happy my children are. I have my bad days, but I hope to give my daughter the same desire to be at home with her family and to see the worth in the work I do. I hope, too, that my boys will grow to be those men that don't expect their wives to work and find wives that want to stay home!
Please keep writing such wonderful, inspiring posts!
- February 11, 2012 at 7:42 PM
Please don't be discouraged by the negative comments, Mrs. White. I haven't commented here before but just felt the need to encourage you to keep writing your beautiful, inspiring posts. Don't let yourself be intimidated or the rest of us, who agree with you, will lose out on your special voice.

So enjoyed this post Mrs. White. Don't be intimidated by those writing negative comments. Your writing is so encouraging and biblical. All I ever wanted was to be a wife and mother and I praise God He gave me the desires of my heart.

I, too, am sorry that you got so many negative comments. I do believe the "whisper" you refer to is what has made so many women discontent. They aren't happy at home and oddly enough aren't happy when they are out working either.

I never comment, but felt the need to tell you how much I appreciate your courageous, truthful writing. I deeply agree with what you wrote here. How I wish more young women could know the joy of loving and caring for a family and home. I am grateful to have a husband who enjoys having a "kept" home.

I, for one, thought this was a lovely post. I completely agree with everything you said. I am 42 and, while I didn't start off as a stay at home wife and mother, I am one now and know that I could never go back to the way things were before. I am more than happy to be "old fashioned"!!!!

I don't understand why there would've been negative comments, this was a very inspiring post for me. One thing that brings me to your blog are your posts that describe the old days and the attitude and ways of housewives from the past. I didn't grow up with a homemaker for an example to look up to and learn from, so I greatly appreciate when you post on subjects like this. Please don't stop! Thank you again for posting such an encouraging and thought-provoking post.

The truth hurts, doesn't it. Well, it hurts if you're rebelling against it. I used to consider God's perfect ways to be antiquated notions from days gone by. Then? Truth got a hold of me.
God's ways are generational. They're intended to be followed by *everyone* in *every* era. He set things up in the way they work best. It may not be popular, or politically correct, but I choose to look antiquated in society's eyes, rather than rebellious in God's eyes. Every. Time.
Thank you, Mrs. White!
- February 13, 2012 at 11:23 AM
What a wonderful post, Mrs. White!
I am currently a working mother of two, and in the past I have been a single mother of one. But my heart has always been at home, nonetheless. Your post really resonates with my core being, and it is what I feel I was meant to do- even though I can't right now. I feel so much peace when I am at home and am managing the ways of my household.
I really hope I get to be a full time homemaker someday, but until then I still like to learn all I can, and be inspired to love and work at homemaking anyway. My family still benefits from my attention to my home and family in my off work hours.

This was a wonderful post! I really enjoyed it and agree whole heartedly. Feminism is where the family and I might even say real christianity (biblical womanhood)began to degrade.

Thank you for continuing to write these posts even after you receive the negative comments. With one sick child and one potty training today, I have let the house run wild. Sitting at my computer reading blogs and watching youtube videos because I "deserved" a break. Your post has convicted me to turn my music on and GET TO WORK! thank you!
- February 13, 2012 at 3:55 PM
I had found your blog some time ago then lost the address. I am so glad I found it again recently!! Yes I was raised when what you said about how the husband treated his wife and such was the norm. It was so calm and peaceful a time. No we did not have a lot of money...no one did then, but our home was calm as was the neighborhood. I wanted nothing else but to also be a sty at home wife. The women I saw every day all around me were such a good example. I married a man who worked so I could stay at home. I was very blessed. That was 42 years ago that I married this wonderful man. I am still at home. :) Thank you for taking so much time to put together this information and encouragement for us. Sarah

If anyone has a problem with what you have described in this post, which seems to me to be in accordance with scripture (which defines us, rather than we defining ourselves) then she has a problem with God.
Ephesians 5:24, 25
"Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it..."
Psalm 113:9
"He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD."
So I pray you will not take any attacks personally. None of this was your idea. And besides, all those who live virtuously will suffer persecution in this world, for it is at enmity with God.
Onward and upward Mrs. White!
- February 14, 2012 at 2:02 AM
I agree 100% with your writing. I am a 40 year old, stay at home wife and mother of 2. One child is in school, the other will be this fall. I will not go into the workforce when this time comes. My place is on the home, and that's where my husband and children want me as well. I LOVE it here! I may not have a perfect house EVERYDAY, a gourmet meal EVERYDAY, or look like a fashion model. But I do try to be the best I can be EVERYDAY, put the LORD first, and my husband and children. WE do not worry about the neighbor, what he may be doing, what he can afford. I feel that if MORE folks followed this practice, they would likely be more content. Less divorce, fewer problems with our children, etc. With that said, I will pick one child up from sachool today, visit with him about his day and REALLY listen. My husband will come home, anhd we will eating promptly at 5:30, and again discuss our day. We will see and hear any thing that is not actually spoken, because we have time for each other.

Beautifully written post!
Sadly, my marriage did not start out the way it was intended, but by the grace of God my husband and I now know the roles God set up for us!
I felt, by the pressure of my parents, I needed to go to college and support myself. Then along came marriage and children. We struggled so in those days. When we don't do the will of God we do struggle more don't we? Finally, after a near divorce, I walked out of my job one day and never looked back. It was hard, because even then I didn't know what God's plans for a wife was. It was another grace in the grand scheme of things. God was leading me ever so slowly to my place. We found a church that taught the truths of God finally! We all started going and started really growing and loving each other!
Frankly, when I was shown all the scripture for the wives, I was startled and shocked. I had never even heard anything like that before. No one had even uttered those verses in any way all my years growing up. I started to love those verses and understand God's will. Today, 9 years later, I still love to live by them. Shortly after learning the truth, we started homeschooling and what a blessing it is!
It hurts my heart to see women out shopping after picking the kids up at daycare. The kids are screaming because they are tired and hungry and the women looks tired and haggard after a long day in the office. I was there once. Something inside me wants to reach out to them and tell them the truth that it doesn't have to be this way. Let their husband take his God given role as leader and provider of the house! Let him soak in chivalry! It's the way God desires it to be. It makes Him happy. The happiness that abounds when we seek our calling is endless and I'm so grateful I found it in time!
Thank you again for a wonderful writing! It blessed me so!

I want to thank you for this post. I found it very convicting. I am blessed to be able to be home with my 3 school-aged children but I'm not using that blessing to bless my family. As I read your post, the kids were eating lunch and I was at the computer in my pajamas. I want my daughter to want the life you described. I want my sons to look for that kind of wife. I am not providing the example they need. I am not blessing my husband who works hard to provide for us. Thanks you for the kick in the pants I needed!
(By the way, I got up and got dressed, did my hair and made my bed before I came back to tell you these things!)

Today's society has convinced women that raising children and keeping a home is a lowly and undesirable occupation. I've worked outside the home and now I'm a SAHM to two children and this is the hardest job I've EVER had. The workplace was a cakewalk compared to the responsibility I have now.
I am convinced the reason there are so many troubled children and children in trouble these days is there are no mothers at home to raise them...they're all at work. Infants go right into daycare, then to child care, then to public school with minimal daily interaction with their parents. I'm not here to knock those that must work due to economic reasons; however, my husband and I sacrificed my considerable income and went down to one income so I could stay at home with the children because of this conviction. It took a lot of changes, hard work and sacrifice but it was worth it. It can be done.

Dear Mrs. White,
Thank you for having the courage to post (and continue posting) Biblical truths, even when they are not popular by the world's standards. I am a working mom, but my heart & mind are never far from home. By God's grace, me working will only last a few more years until my husband finishes his degree, then WE plan on me being the housewife I have always dreamed of! I just love your writing. You are a daily encouragement and inspiration to me. My family has you to thank for much of their clean laundry & dishes, as on several occasions it was only after being convicted with one of your essays that I got up & did the work that truly matters to me the most- loving, caring for, & blessing my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

One thing I wish I could describe about the homemakers of yesteryear is the look on their faces: one of delighted contentment, accompanied by gentle humming as they washed dishes, hung laundry or ironed. This was back before conveniences like dryers and dishwashers and yet they complained less than women do now. They created a world of peace in their homes and they relished it and absorbed it in their beings. Today women at home are under stress.
- February 18, 2012 at 2:13 PM
This is so beautiful & encouraging to read. As a homeschooled little girl who stayed at home dreaming about being married & having my own family i was eventually sent to school & those dreams subsided & were replaced with wants of another kind (now completely foreign to me). I am now trying to get back to the simplicity i once yearned for. I am now 24 with 2 young boys & a stay at home mum with a darling hisband who blesses me with his willingness for me to stay home. Thankyou for writting this, it flies in the face of the dissatisfaction i am bombarded with daily through media, gossip & my own silly head. Thankyou for reminding me of my roots. You are an inspiration.

Mrs. White,
Thank you so much for your blog and for this post. My mother raised me to want a busy career, "me time," and opportunities to "find myself."
Imagine my surprise when, in my mid-thirties, after having worked at a successful career for 12 years, I discovered that all I really want is to be at home, caring for my children, our home, and my husband's needs.
My mother would be disappointed if she knew, but I don't mind. My husband & I are working to pay off our debt & downsize our two-income-lifestyle so that I can stay home.

The truth hurts those who believe the lie of a woman having it all. Not possible since the family always suffers. Women belong at home raising their children, homeschooling, taking care of the home, & taking care if their husbands. Feminists are a nasty bunch. They have accomplished nothing for women as they claim. Women's lib is hogwash! Women continue to believe all sorts of lies. The devil is real. He is using feminists to derail the family unit. Much of the world's issues can be put on these women. It's sad & the devil is laughing! He is winning when another woman gives up her true calling which is to serve her family. Women aren't equal to men. Men are the leaders. Let them lead. I'm not afraid to speak the truth. I am very encouraged by this post because what you posted is true!

I came across your blog by accident while searching for old time homemaking blogs. I know this is an old article, but I found it to be the loveliest description I ever read on Christian homemaking! This type of homemaker is what the world needs more of right now! Thank you for a great article. I, too, strive to be an old fashioned housewife. It is rewarding and I feel very much loved and appreciated and cherished. How wonderful it is when we all follow God's plan. I am an older woman with grown children, but making a warm and loving home is still a priority with me.
- March 8, 2014 at 9:07 PM
I couldn't agree with you more! If only more wives could truly see the joy that comes from serving their family according to God's plan! What a beautiful world we could provide for our children. Thank you for speaking the Truth and your inspiration!

I am reminded of the Scripture in Hebrews that says the word of God is living and active, sharper than a 2 edge sword. Do something Biblical and it's going to end up 'hurting' someone because the truth hurts. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this scenario. A husband loving and caring for his wife and a wife caring for the family. I'm sure there are plenty that aren't in a situation where this scenario can happen, however, if more would look at what can be done without, etc. perhaps more homes could be more stable and cared for.

I red the article and I loved it. I do not understand how and why the world got where it is now(or maybe I do). I was an "equal" bread earner and now I'm in a different marriage, a housewife and mother. I'm absolutely happy and content. My husband respects me and I admire him. We are happy. It is sad that it became a shame to know how to cook or bake. I am proof that the role I have now is way more pleasing and natural for a woman. Thank you for the article. Before it, I really felt alone.

Negative comments? I'm sorry. You are speaking truth though and there are many who sneer at what God calls good. Please keep writing what is true and good and encouraging to so many women with thirsty souls who have been lied to.
I praise God for His working in your life!

Thank you for speaking the truth, God will bless you for that!

I am very sorry you had to suffer negative comments, because this post is SO true and just blessed me so much! I LOVE being a wife and mother and keeping our home, as the Bible instructs. If fulfills me in so many ways, and there is no where on earth I would rather be than in our little home with my precious family. Cleaning, cooking, doing laundry and hanging it on the line, listening, homeschooling, family worship times....all of these are beyond precious to me. This is how God designed that we should live, and to go beyond these "boundaries" is to put ourselves in a place of discontent. Thank you for speaking the truth...it may sting some who are not willing to come in line with it, but it is the truth just the same...and the truth is what Jesus said will make us free!

Dear Mrs .White
Hope you are keeping well.
I'm a young wife and a mother of a one year old baby .Although I'm an engineer by profession and had worked for a while , I feel great contentment and happiness in being a homemaker which I'm now.Both my parents are still working and they had great expectations of me to be a career oriented women . But my heart rejoices in spending my time for my family with prayers and times spend with my Lord .And now they too are happy for me seeing how contented I'm.
I'm greatly encouraged by your articles..everyone of them .Keep writing !!
God bless you abundantly.

Greetings from Homeschooling world!! Kudos to you and keep it up. We need many more of your writings to keep uplifted and convicted, as well. It's a lonesome task at times being home all day, so the encouragement and such just brightens my day. My family is benefiting from your writings, as well because I am now realizing there is no better place to be, ever, in my older years, as well, then here at home serving. Thank you and please don't stop writing!!

This was a beautiful post and I agree with you. I am enjoying everything you've written. Thank you so much for the encouragement. A family member of mine had a magnet on her fridge when I was growing up which read, "Dull women have immaculate houses." No. This is deception. Bravo, Mrs. White!

Here is a roundup of last night's high school basketball games:
Shelby County 69, Beth Haven 45: The Rockets (4-9) started 2013 with their second straight victory, a 24-point victory over the host Bearcats (6-9).
Senior forward Michael Barry scored a game-high 20 points, 12 in Shelby County's 22-point first quarter. Junior guard Kipp Moore and freshman forward James Gordon tallied 10 points apiece for the Rockets, who led 35-25 at halftime then blew the game open with a 25-point third quarter.
Shelby County goes for its third straight victory (the Rockets haven't won three in a row since the split) at 7:30 p.m. tonight against Thomas Nelson (2-14) at Mike Casey Gymnasium.
Anderson County 55, Collins 43: The host Bearcats (10-1, 1-1) held the Titans (9-4, 1-1) to a season-low point total and 29.5 percent shooting in a 30th District game in Lawrenceburg. Collins also went without a field goal for nearly 13 minutes (from early in the second quarter to late in the third quarter).
Anderson County led by nine at the end of the first quarter (15-6), 11 at halftime (24-13) and 16 (32-16) in the third period before the Titans rallied. They trimmed the Bearcats' lead to seven (32-25) early in the fourth quarter before Anderson County extended its lead to 18.
Junior Ralphie Stone led Collins with 14 while sophomore point guard Brent Kidwell added 13 and Buddy Johnson 10. Dez Marshall, the Titans' leading scorer, finished with just two points. He was 1 of 5 from the field before rolling his ankle late in the third quarter. He played very briefly in the fourth period.
Collins next hosts defending state champion Trinity at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night.
Bluegrass United 55, Cornerstone Christian 50: The host Bulldogs fell to the visitors.
Nate Oates led Cornerstone with 15 points.
Anderson County 59, Collins 34: The Bearcats (15-1, 2-0) outscored the Titans (6-6, 1-2) 34-23 in the first half and 25-11 in the second half in a 30th District game at Lawrenceburg.
Anderson County forced Collins into 21 turnovers and outrebounded the Titans 28-18, including 12-3 on the offensive end.
Senior forward Aaliyah Wells scored a team-high 20 points for Collins. The Titans play at Woodford County on Tuesday night.

Richard Sherman, Seattle Seahawks star cornerback, says he won PED suspension appeal
RENTON, Wash. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman won his appeal of a four-game suspension for use of performance enhancing substances on Thursday, making him eligible for the NFL playoffs.
Sherman posted "I won," on his Twitter account Thursday morning, followed by teammates tweeting their congratulations. Sherman added, "Thank you (at)nfl for upholding the truth! To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord."
The decision was made by former NFL executive Bob Wallace.
Sherman was steadfast since news broke of his pending suspension that he believed he would win on appeal. Sherman's appeal was based on errors in the chain of custody of his sample and that there were mistakes made by the tester.
Sherman made his appeal late last week.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email the league is reviewing the decision, but was declining comment due to confidentiality provisions.
The decision makes Sherman eligible for the Seahawks season finale against St. Louis and, more importantly, the playoffs. Seattle has played the last three weeks without fellow starting cornerback Brandon Browner who is serving a four-game suspension for a banned substance violation.
As CBSSports.com reports, Sherman and Browner were both suspended for failing a PED test, allegedly for Adderall.
- Seahawks CB Brandon Browner suspended 4 games for using PEDs
- Adderall: NFL's popular new drug or easy alibi?
Browner's suspension expires after Sunday's game against the Rams, so Seattle will have both of its starting cornerbacks available for the postseason.
"Congrats to Richard Sherman for winning his appeal! Happy for him & it'll be great to have him with us as we move forward," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll tweeted Thursday morning.
According to STATS, Sherman is tied with Pittsburgh's Keenan Lewis for the NFL lead with 23 passes defensed. He is tied for second in interceptions with seven.
Sherman was a surprise omission from the Pro Bowl roster announced Wednesday. Despite his impressive numbers, Sherman was a first alternate at cornerback for the NFC, behind the Chicago duo of Tim Jennings and Charles Tillman, and Arizona's Patrick Peterson.
Even before the Pro Bowl rosters were announced, Sherman didn't seem to care about getting a trip to Hawaii.
"It don't mean nothing," Sherman said Wednesday. "I bet you I'll be on the first-team All-Pro. That means more to me."

I am writing in response to Jay Evan's letter "Boy Scouts should help Sandy Victims," in the Nov. 7 edition of The Lancaster News. While I understand the concern for those affected by the recent events in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and would applaud any local efforts to help, this should not be done at the expense of or in lieu of helping our local folks who are in need.

The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 is the Transformer Prime as it should have been. A Gandalf the White to the Prime's Saruman. Asus has clearly listened to the grievances -- most notably, GPS issues -- of some Prime owners, and in most cases addresses said grievances and then some.
The TF700 is more than just an upgrade to the Prime. It's also a chance to represent the full potential of the Transformer line, and despite having relatively little support from the Android OS, Asus succeeds at doing just that.
The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 is like a slightly modified, alternate-universe version of the Asus Transformer Prime TF201. It has all the same ports and connections (Micro-HDMI, microSD, headphone jack, microphone, and reset pinholes), but their placement on the tablet's body have been slightly adjusted. For example, where the volume rocker was located on the Prime's left edge (in landscape mode), it's located on the top right edge on the TF700. While these small changes could be annoying for Prime or TF300 users looking to upgrade, it's something you get used to quickly.
The TF700 measures 0.33 inch thick -- compared with the Prime's 0.32 inch -- and it encloses its innards in an almost complete aluminum unibody design. Almost, but not quite. The TF700 sports a unique back-panel design that replaces a small portion of the metal back with a tabletwide, inch-long plastic panel. The thought here is that enclosing the GPS radio in plastic rather than metal will allow the GPS signal to more easily enter and exit the tablet. The original Prime suffered difficulties when attempting to connect to GPS satellites, thanks to its aluminum unibody.
Despite the few, small design changes, the TF700 feels just as light and comfortable to hold as the Prime does.

|Side bezel width in inches (landscape)
The power/sleep button is now much more easily depressible, delivering a satisfying snap when pressed. On the top side of the bezel is a 2-megapixel front camera, upgraded from the 1.2-megapixel camera previous Transformer tablets housed. Opposite it, on the back, is an 8-megapixel, LED-supported camera, with a microphone pinhole to its left.
Our TF700 model sported a Amethyst Gray finish with a smooth, metallic back and an embossed silver Asus logo in the middle. If colors that evoke a more festive sensation are desired, the tablet also comes in Champagne Gold. Along the right side of the back are a collection of small speaker holes, arranged more narrowly than the Prime's.
The TF700 easily slides into its $150 optional keyboard dock. The dock is also compatible with the Prime as long as you're running the latest firmware. Thanks to small design differences, the TF300, unfortunately, isn't officially compatible with the other Transformer tablet docks.
The keyboard dock itself appears identical to the Prime's, with its metal body giving it a substantial, well-built feel. It's comfortable, if maybe slightly cramped for large hands like mine, and while the buttons are smaller than a MacBook Air's, they're fairly soft and well-spaced. Using this keyboard on a regular basis wouldn't be my first choice, but I could see myself getting used to its somewhat cramped (for my hands) feel after a while.
Software features
The TF700 is the second Asus tablet to come preinstalled with Android 4.0.3. Check out the Android 4.0 section of the Transformer Prime TF201 review for details on what the OS brings to the table over the previous version of the Android operating system, Honeycomb.
While Android 4.0 is the best version of the OS yet, unfortunately for the TF700, it still lags behind iOS in app support. Things have improved over the last few months, with Android getting some big game releases like Max Payne Mobile concurrently with iOS, but for every Max Payne Mobile, there are tons of great iOS games being released on weekly basis. Google still has its work cut out for it in soliciting more app developers, especially those willing to take advantage of the Tegra 3 processor.
The TF700 also comes with plenty of Asus goodies installed. Once you register the TF700, Asus MyCloud gives you 8GB of free cloud-based storage space at Asus WebStorage for the lifetime of the tablet. It also provides remote access to the desktop of a PC or Mac and connects you to the @Vibe online music and radio service.
The File Manager accesses the TF700's root directory, providing easy and organized access to every file on your drive or expanded memory unit. MyNet lets you stream (up to 1080p content) to DLNA-enabled devices on your network, and with MyLibrary, Asus' e-reader software, you can read and purchase new books directly through the interface.
With SuperNote you can not only type notes, but "write" notes with your fingers as well. You can also draw graphs and take pictures or video right from the interface. This could be especially useful for taking notes in a class or maybe getting in a little Draw Something practice.
With App Backup you can back up any installed application to the internal storage or microSD card. This makes it so you can reset your tablet without losing apps or app data. The TF700 also comes with a free Polaris Office app that pretty successfully approximates Microsoft Office, allowing users to create PowerPoint, Word, and Excel docs. Finally, App Locker lets you password-protect any app on your tablet, preventing anyone from opening it unless the correct password is entered.
Via Asus' tweaks to the Android interface, you can choose to run the Tegra 3 CPU in normal, balanced, or power-saving mode. While in normal mode, the CPU runs at full speed. In balanced mode and power-saving mode, the CPU speed is throttled to save on battery life. This CPU-throttling feature was also on the Prime and TF300, and I'm still waiting for other vendors to adopt similar modes, as they are pretty useful.
The TF700, like other Transformer tablets, allows you to take screenshots with the "recent apps" button, and one of my favorite features of the Prime that was criminally axed on the TF300 makes its triumphant return. The Super IPS+ (In-Plane Switching) mode boosts the TF700's screen brightness -- making reading in sunlight a bit easier. Huzzah!
Hardware features
Nvidia's Tegra 3 CPU is finally reaching high levels of ubiquity and makes its third appearance (so far) in an Asus tablet. The Pad TF700 version is clocked at 1.6GHz with two to four cores active and up to 1.7GHz in single-core operations, compared with 1.3GHz and 1.4GHz on the Prime, respectively.
Also, the TF700 houses 1GB of DDR3 RAM running at 1.6GHz -- as opposed to the DDR2 RAM used in the Prime. The TF700 comes in either 32GB or 64GB storage sizes and has 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi support, Bluetooth 3.0+EDR, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer.
The Mobile keyboard dock includes an extra battery that, while connected, feeds the TF700 its power, ensuring that the dock's battery will deplete its reserves before the tablet's.
Through its Micro-HDMI port, you can connect the tablet to an HDTV or monitor and play full-screen Android games using both wired Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 USB-compatible game pads, as well as supported wireless game pads through the use of an USB dongle. However, both wired controllers and the USB dongle require a full USB port, necessitating the use of the keyboard dock to accomplish this setup. When connected to a monitor, the TF700's high resolution, exemplified by sharp, smooth text and sharper images in Riptide GP, did translate to smooth images on the monitor as well.

By Paco Wertin, CFCA CEO
May God's peace bless you as we remember these wonderful brothers of ours!
Today is the 15th anniversary of the death of some dear members of our CFCA family:
Jerry Tolle, co-founder of CFCA
Carlos Caballero, president of CFCA Spain and
Jesús Pèrez Tapioles, vice president of CFCA/Spain.
They were killed in a car accident in Spain on May 17, 1995.
Jerry had just finished a 40-day CFCA trip to Africa, visiting all the projects on the continent, beginning in Madagascar and ending in Liberia. Carlos and Jesús were taking Jerry from the airport in Madrid to the CFCA office in Valladolid when the accident occurred.
We give thanks to God for each of them, and the way their presence continues to form, guide and energize us.
Please take some time to stop and reflect on the lives of these men whose vision and love helped us to become what we are today.
Here is a wonderful statement from Jerry:
"We feel that CFCA is a dynamic, growing, interacting family of workers, sponsors, volunteers, missionaries, poor children and aging. All are contributing to the co-creation of CFCA, an experience of sharing, of getting to know and love and serve the Lord's little ones. Each new staff person, volunteer, missionary collaborator, sponsor and supporter is seen and given the opportunity of co-creating our mission."
Jerry brought many, many gifts and talents to the founding of CFCA. Yet his love for the children and the elderly and the changes that they made in his life would have to be central.
We keep Jerry, Jesús and Carlos, and their families in our prayers of gratitude.
Mark's Gospel (9:35-37) says it well:
Jesus said to the twelve: 'If any of you wants to be first, you must be the last one of all and at the service of all.' Then he brought a little child into their midst and said: 'Whoever welcomes a child such as this for my sake welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the One who sent me.'
Jerry, Carlos and Jesús, ¡presentes!

Shawnee, which is right outside of Kansas City, is known as a tight-knit community and a great place to do business. We've also been impressed by Shawnee's vision to keep their citizens informed and involved using the Internet. Recently, the City modernized their website, so that locals can easily access city info—from crime maps to fiscal reports to streamed audio of city council meetings.
This is a great example of how access to information via the web can help make communities stronger. Google Fiber—and widespread connectivity throughout Shawnee—will be a great complement to the great work the City is already doing.
We still have a lot of planning and engineering work to do before we're ready to bring Fiber to Shawnee, so we don't have an estimate for when service will be available yet. We'll be sure to publish an update here as soon as we have it.
