I was talking with a friend recently and Junia came up in our conversation. My friend stated with a great deal of confidence that Junia was definitely not an apostle. My friend also mentioned that his Bible translation of choice was the English Standard Version. I looked up the ESV online [here] to see whether this translation might have had something to do with his view that Junia was not an apostle. It did.
This article about Junia is written in response to my friend's confident statement, and so I have deliberately chosen the ESV as a reference point. Here's what it says about Junia:
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen[1] and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. Romans 16:7 (ESV)
Who was Junia?
Andronicus and Junia are mentioned in the New Testament only in Paul's letter to the Romans.[2] Paul speaks warmly about this couple who were possibly a married couple or brother and sister. From Romans 16:7, we can see that both Andronicus and Junia were well known to the church (otherwise Paul would not have mentioned them in his letter); they were related to Paul (or were fellow Jews); they had been imprisoned with Paul; they had been Christians longer than Paul (they may even have been among the founders of the church at Rome); and they were considered as outstanding among the apostles. This last point has been debated in recent times. An older debate, however, is whether Junia was male or female.
Was Junia a woman?
I have read several articles which argue that Junia was a man named Junias and not a woman.[3] The weakness of this argument is that the masculine name "Junias" never occurs in any ancient Greek document. Moreover, it never occurs in any manuscript that dates before the 13th century AD. But the female name "Junia" is common enough in both inscriptions and manuscripts.[4] This fact is widely acknowledged by most modern biblical scholars.
Michael Bird writes,
There is a tsunami of textual and patristic evidence for 'Junia' that proves overwhelming. Despite some naughty scribes, biased translators, lazy lexicographers and dogmatic commentators, the text speaks about a woman named 'Junia.' Jewett goes so far as to call the masculine 'Junias' a 'figment of chauvinistic imagination.'[5]
The translators of the ESV concede Junia was most probably a woman; however, they retain the masculine name "Junias" in a footnote.
Was Junia an apostle?
I have also heard people minimise the meaning of the word "apostle" when applied to Junia. Certainly, apart from Jesus' twelve (or eleven) apostles who are in a special class, an apostle is simply a minister who serves as a church planter, as an envoy, or as a missionary.[6] In the New Testament, several people other than the Twelve are called apostles. These other apostles include: Paul, Barnabas (Acts 14:14), Silas, Apollos (1 Cor 1:12), Timothy, Epaphroditus (Phil. 2:25), Andronicus and Junia (Rom. 16:7)—all people with significant ministries.[7]
An apostle (apostolos) is literally someone who is "sent" (apostellō) on a mission. Church history is full of examples of male and female missionaries.[8] Both men and women have been sent by the church or been driven by a personal calling to pioneer ministries that have furthered the gospel, ministries that can validly be described as apostolic.[9]
The ESV gives an alternative meaning for "apostles" in a footnote for Romans 16:7. They suggest "apostles" might be translated as "messengers" here. It could be that Andronicus and Junia were "well known among the messengers"; however, people in the New Testament who were called apostles were usually more than just messengers. From the description we have of Andronicus and Junia, it appears that both of them were involved in important ministry.
Several Patristic writers regard Junia as a female apostle. In his Homilies on the Book of Romans, fourth-century church father John Chrysostom preached favourably about Junia, and clearly acknowledged her as a female apostle. Writing about Andronicus and Junia, he said:
And indeed to be apostles at all is a great thing. But to be even among these of note, just consider what a great tribute this is! But they were of note owing to their works, to their achievements. Oh! How great is the wisdom of this woman, that she should be even counted worthy of the appellation of apostle! Homily 31 on Romans.
Was Junia outstanding?
In most English translations of Romans 16:7, Andronicus and Junia are referred to as "outstanding among the apostles" (Greek: episēmos en tois apostolois).[10] The ESV replaces the usual description of "outstanding" (Greek: episēmos) with "well-known".
BDAG (p.378) defines episēmos as (1) "of exceptional quality, splendid, prominent, outstanding" and it quotes from Romans 16:7: "outstanding among the apostles".[11]
Michael Brurer and Daniel Wallace suggest that the phrase episēmos en tois apostolois can be understood and translated in two ways: that Andronicus and Junia may have been "(a) notable members of the group of the apostles; or, (b) not apostles themselves but well known among (i.e. to) the apostles."[12] (My underlines.)
Does "notable" and "well known" have a milder sense than "outstanding"?
New Testament translators and commentators seem to fall into three groups in how they approach translating the phrase episēmos en tois apostolois into English:
- (1) Those who think that Junia(s) was a man, such as the translators of the NASB, have typically translated this phrase as "outstanding among the apostles".
- (2) Some who acknowledge that Junia was actually a woman, such as the translators of the ESV, the NET Bible, and a few others, have chosen a "softer" option and translate this phrase as "well-known to the apostles" (cf. HCSB).
- (3) Others, who also acknowledge that Junia was a woman, keep the more literal translation of "outstanding/prominent among the apostles". This last group of translations includes the CEB, NRSV, and NIV. (My underlines.)
[See for yourself how the translation changes when the translators think Junia is a man–Junias, or a woman–Junia, here. Watch out for the "s" ending on the name. And scroll down the linked page and read the unashamedly prejudiced Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary on Romans 16:7.]
Was Junia well-known to the Apostles?
Another troubling aspect of the ESV translation of Romans 16:7 is how the Greek word en (ἐν) has been translated. En is a common word and is used approximately 2830 times in the New Testament. This word is frequently translated as "in" or "among" in English.[13] Here are a couple of examples of Scriptures where the word en occurs:
"Our Father who is in heaven . . ." Matthew 6:9
". . .to those among the Diaspora" James 1:1
Writing about Romans 16:7, Peter Lampe, a foremost scholar of early Christianity, succinctly states, "The en has to be translated as 'among' (the apostles) like in 1 Corinthians 15:12 and James 5:13-14, 19."[14]
I can only think of one reason to translate en as "to", as in "well known to the apostles" in the ESV. That reason is to obscure the fact that Junia, along with Andronicus, was actually outstanding among the apostles.
It is important to note that the Greek New Testament never states that a woman cannot be an apostle, missionary, or church leader. Moreover, in the New Testament, several women are mentioned who obviously were church leaders. Sadly, some Bible commentators have persistently tried to minimise their roles.
In efforts to keep women out of leadership ministries, some Bible translators have been keen to soften the impact of Junia as a precedent of a woman with a prominent leadership ministry. In the past, they have tried to make her a man. Now that this idea no longer has credence, some translators are trying to downplay her description of "oustanding among the apostles".
Was Junia a distinguished or prominent apostle, or was she well known to the apostles? The more obvious reading of Romans 16:7 is that both Andronicus and Junia were outstanding or, perhaps, notable among the apostles. However, even if they were just well known, and it was their reputation that was outstanding among the apostles, surely this in itself is a wonderful endorsement of their ministry.
Here is how the New Revised Standard Version translates Romans 16:7:
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives who were in prison with me; they are prominent among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was. (NRSV)
Notes and References
Some people have suggested that Junia is the same person as Joanna who is mentioned in Luke 8:1-3 and Luke 24:9-10. Joanna certainly qualifies as being an apostle according to the traditional understanding of apostolic prerequisites (e.g., seeing the risen Jesus). However, I am unconvinced that Junia and Joanna are one and the same.
[1] The Greek word translated in the ESV as "kinsmen" (from suggenēs) in Romans 16:7 can refer to male and female relatives. I wonder whether the ESV chose the word "kinsmen", which sounds masculine to modern readers, to obscure the fact that Junia was a woman? Surely "relative" would be easier to understand.
BDAG (p. 950) defines suggenēs as: (1) "Belonging to the same extended family or clan, related, akin to" . . . [or] (2) Belonging to the same people group, compatriot, kin . . ." [9]
[2] Paul obviously held Andronicus and Junia in high esteem. He sent them, and several other ministers, both men and women, his personal greetings in chapter 16 of his letter to the Romans 16. At least ten women are mentioned in Romans chapter 16. These women were all active in some sort of ministry for the gospel; some were house church leaders.
[3] A few people who believe Junia(s) was a man, suggest that the name found in Romans 16:7 is a contraction of the male name: Junianus. An interesting and scholarly article by Albert Wolters, somewhat defending this position, is here.
[4] The masculinised name Junias does not exist in any ancient Greek or Latin manuscript or inscription, etc. (The true masculine form of Junia is Junius.)
Bruce Metzger writes:
The female Latin name Junia occurs over 250 times in Greek and Latin inscriptions found in Rome alone, whereas the male name is unattested anywhere, and when Greek manuscripts [containing Romans 16:7] began to be accented, scribes wrote the feminine Ἰουνίαν ("Junia").
A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, Second Edition (D-Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 1994), 475.
James D.G. Dunn writes:
Lampe 139–40, 147 indicates over 250 examples of "Junia," none of Junias, as was taken for granted by the patristic commentators, and indeed up to the Middle Ages. The assumption that it must be male is a striking indictment of male presumption regarding the character and structure of earliest Christianity. . . We may firmly conclude, however, that one of the foundation apostles of Christianity was a woman and wife.
Romans 9-16 (Word Biblical Commentary, Vol 38B) (Dallas, TX: Word, 1988), 894.
Bernadette Brooten writes:
John Chrysostom was not alone in the ancient church in taking the name to be feminine. The earliest commentator on Romans 16:7, Origen of Alexandria (c. 185–253/54), took the name to be feminine (Junta or Julia, which is a textual variant), as did Jerome (340/50–419/20), Hatto of Vercelli (924–961), Theophylact (c. 1050–c. 1108), and Peter Abelard (1079–1142). In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no commentator on the text until Aegidius of Rome (1245-1316) took the name to be masculine.

Kenneth Bailey writes:
The first noticeable shift from Junia to Junias was apparently made by Faber Stapulensis, writing in Paris in 1512. His work subsequently influenced Luther's commentary on Romans.
"Women in the New Testament: A Middle Eastern Cultural View," in Theology Matters, 6.1 (Jan-Feb 2000), 2. (This paper can be read free and online here.)
John Thorley writes:
The universal view of the early fathers was that the name was Junia, and that she was a woman, and the English Authorised Version of 1611 followed this reading "Junia", clearly a woman's name; and in fact "Junias" became a man in English translations only in 1881 when the Revised Version was published. Luther, however, in his German translation of 1552 had already opted for [the masculine] "den Juniam", and continental translations have since then mostly followed this masculine interpretation.
"Junia, a Woman Apostle", in Novum Testamentum, Vol. 38 (January, 1996), 18-29, 18.
The female name "Junia" was used in the Tyndale and King James Bible. Later English translations used the masculine name "Junias" until recently. N.B. The highlighted scripture texts on this page use the NASB and it has the masculine "Junias".
Eldon Jay Epp writes on the "Text-Critical, Exegetical and Socio-Cultural Factors Affecting the Junia/Junia Variation in Romans 16:7", in New Testament Textual Criticism: Festschrift J. Delobel, A. Denaux (ed.) (Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2002), 227-291. Parts of Dr Epp's chapter are available on Google Books here.
[5] Michael Bird, Romans (The Story of God Bible Commentary) (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2016) (online source)
[6] The function of being an apostle is one of the church leadership gifts mentioned in Ephesians 4:11.
And these were his [Jesus'] gifts: some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip God's people for work in his service, to the building up of the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11
[7] Jesus is also called an apostle in Hebrews 3:1.
[8] What I find peculiar about the whole debate of whether Junia was really an apostle, is that the word "apostle" (derived from Greek) is just another word for "missionary" (derived from Latin), and there have been numerous examples of women being missionaries without causing controversy.
[9] Even though the church has mostly hindered women (instead of encouraging them in ministry), there have always been a few women who, because of their elevated social position (nobility), personal wealth, exceptional intelligence, tenacity or extraordinary gifts, have functioned as leaders. Catherine of Siena, Madame Guyon, Amy Carmichael, Gladys Aylward, Countess Huntingdon, Phoebe Palmer, Lottie Moon and Dorothy L. Sayers are just a few who spring to mind. Who knows how much the progress of the gospel has been diminished by disallowing women to minister as equals, side by side with men. or even on their own?
[10] The following Bible translations use the phrase "outstanding among the apostles" or "of note among the apostles" in Romans 16:7: New International Version (1984, 2011); New American Standard Bible (1995); Common English Bible: American Standard Bible; King James Bible; International Standard Version (2008); Douay Rheims Bible; Bible in Basic English; Darby Bible Translation; English Revised Version; Webster's Bible Translation; Weymouth New Testament; Word English Bible; etc.
[11] BDAG = A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd Edition, by Walter Bauer, revised and edited by F.W Danker (University of Chicago Press, 2000) As a second, alternative definition, BDAG has: (2) "Also in a bad sense: notorious." It goes without saying, that Paul could in no way have been implying that Andronicus and Junia were notorious. Episēmos is used only one other time in the New Testament, in Matthew 27:16, in reference to Barabas, who certainly qualifies as being notorious!

[13] En is always followed by a word or phrase in the dative case. En is commonly translated as "in" or "among". It can also be translated as "on", "at", "by", "with", "when", and occasionally, "to".

Well, I'm happy to say that one no longer requires a strong imagination to envision what my kitchen is going to look like finished. In fact, I've had several people say something similar to "It looks done to me, what do you have left to do?" This statement, and those like it always send me into a tizzy. It inspires me to stomp around huffing and pointing at all of the "obvious" things I have left to finish while my guest just nods in shame for having not noticed. But seriously, did they think I was going to leave the windows and doorways with no trim? Or leave out a section of crown moulding as some sort of statement? How about the base trim? The caulking, the island makeover? And all of the finishing touches that make a person want to dance and pet cats? Funny how things stick out like a sore thumb to me, (probably because I'm stuck doing them) but most people just see a mostly finished kitchen.
And I suppose I should be thankful for that.
For a brief recap, we've painted the lower cabinets and the upper cabinets using two different techniques, we saved a load of money installing the quartz countertops ourselves, we tiled, and we tiled and we tiled. And now we get to have a little fun. It's time to make these cabinets look like they were made for MY kitchen. We are going to do a little customization.
On we go!
For the section by the sink and over the fridge, I made a simple three-sided box using the exact depth and width of the cabinets. I used Menards best quality pine to ensure it was perfectly straight. And yes, since the kitchen cabinets are oak, I should have used oak. Even painted, you can see the wood grain is different, but it's not noticeable unless you point it out, and it saved me a load of money to go with pine. And you know by now that I'm a frugal bugle.
Full disclosure. I forgot to take a photo of this next step but it's simple enough. Using some scrap wood, I nailed some pieces along the inside, front top of the current cabinets, again, so I'd have something to sink ,my nail into when I put the three-sided box in place.
Now for the creme de la creme. It's not a long stretch to say that the WHOLE kitchen makeover started with my dream for one particular section of my cabinetry. I planned this design one evening after I was sent home from work, sick with the flu. I arrived home at 10 am, slept until 5 pm, woke with a splitting headache and body chills, and while laying in bed feeling miserable, I got a whim to start designing how I wanted the cabinets to look someday, so I crawled out of bed and whipped up this design. And you know, it's just what I wanted. Flu works for me I guess.
First things first, I wanted to extend the middle cabinet out further in front, about 2-3 inches, just to give it a more custom look. We emptied and removed the middle cabinet and we placed a piece of 1 inch plywood and two strips of 2×4's where the cabinet would hang and screwed them to the studs. Then we replaced the cabinet by nailing it to the studs, with longer screws of course.
Now onto the top. Just like the cabinet over the refrigerator, it's all about finding a place to secure the "boxes" to the wall and to the current cabinets and also finding places to sink your nails. And this time, I'm making three "boxes" instead of one, so it is a little more complicated. I put quotations around boxes because none of them actually formed a box, the left and right hand sides are more like an L-shape, and the middle was made by securing the sides first, and then adding a front.
Ryan would cringe at this photo, but really, it's all about establishing a solid base to nail my wood in place. This did the trick. And I continued bracing, spacing and nailing until everything was sturdy and the top section had been "built up".
Next came the trim.
Add the crown moulding, fill in the nail holes, caulk the gaps, sand, clean, prime and paint that baby up! Oh she looks goooooooood.
On to the appliance garage. I'll admit, this wasn't a DIY on my part. I told Ryan what I wanted to have in that area, a very detailed description, (which included my sketch-up drawing) right down to the type of hinge I wanted, and he surprised me by making it for me for Christmas. I was so excited, I painted it that night so I could see what it looked like put in place. Now for the most part, Ryan used scrap pieces of oak to make this cabinet, so most of the cost wasn't in the lumber. It was in the super fancy hinge I encouraged him to splurge on. And a splurge it was, but to me, it was well worth it. This hinge ROCKS. Once the garage was painted, we installed it by putting it in place, screwing it to the cabinet above, and caulking the seams.
Once in place we added an outlet (because what's an appliance garage without a place to plug?). And then I tiled the inside. Yep, more tiling. But thankfully, it was a quick job.
Let me remind you what that section of kitchen looked like before…..
And there you have it! The pièce de résistance of my humble kitchen. (why are French words so much better?)
What do you think about that!? Next up, kitchen island makeover!
Thank you so much for reading!

Dear Friends,
This teleseminar was a wonderful experience of coming together in conversation with relationship experts. They shared their work, their personal stories and how their techniques serve in Bridging the Gender Gap between the masculine and the feminine so that men and women can successfully work in partnership and collaboration to create a balanced world where all are honored as equals. Here are just a few of the nuggets we learned:
From Dr. John Gray, we learned that men need communication that builds their testosterone – things that make them feel appreciated and needed for their intellect and their actions. Women need communication that increases their oxytocin – things that make them feel heard and secure. John told us that fully 90% of our communication in relationship is the tone we use. It was fascinating!
Alison Armstrong shared what she's learned about men in years of exploring gender relationships. "The opportunity is to become curious about what you can trust each other for. What do you wish I trusted you for?" Alison told us that we tend to pay a whole lot of attention to "can I trust him/her?" But what she's discovered is there is far more value in exploring "am I trustworthy?"
Kathleen McGowan discussed the Divine Feminine, and how women must stop manipulating men by asking them to be open and then using it against them, and men must stop their judgment about women's emotions and vulnerability. Kathleen's approach to finding love: "Go and be the best person you can be, and you will attract the love you are seeking."
Claire Zammit and Craig Hamilton shared that until 2010 the word feminine was a synonym for the word weak and the word power was a synonym for masculine. Both genders want to be actualized and want to be partners; our job is to find ways to combine the genius of both masculine and feminine qualities and values.
Marianne Williamson shared her perspective that sometimes we confuse authenticity with the notion that whatever self indulgent comment comes into our brain should come out of our mouth. This is a way we disempower ourselves. Authentic communication means being very careful about respecting the other's choices and freedoms, to seek to understand as well as be understood, to give as much as receive, and to be careful to be kind.
Drs. Gay & Katie Hendricks told us that appreciation is the single most powerful way to establish intimacy in any relationship, and that criticism is one of the main reasons people break up. They encouraged us to open ourselves to others and get curious; curiosity creates intimacy with your partner, and is a great aphrodisiac.
And there were so many other insights! We learned so much, and we know you will too. You still have the opportunity to purchase the series so you can listen whenever you want. Some of these you'll repeat over and over again!
You can purchase just one topic – Trust, Vulnerability, Authentic Communication, Intimacy – or the whole teleseries! Click here to see your purchase options. Whichever you choose, we know you'll find these recordings incredibly valuable!

Adrian Blevin's Commentary on William Blake's "Infant Sorrow"
When forced to articulate why it's as important to hear poetry read aloud, most people will make a case for the oral tradition, using the tribe's earliest communal rituals to talk about the various devices of language (like rhyme and narrative suspense) that assist memory. The fact that our earliest poetry had to be contained in the mind because it could not yet be recorded is as true as the announcement that cows make milk, but this most practical explanation for why it's best to hear poetry read aloud does not really explain poetry's effect on the body, though that is where the magic really lies. This is because, as A.E. Houseman says, "meaning is of the intellect, poetry is not." If we depict poetry as a merely intellectual endeavor (as we do when we talk about memory and the mind), we get to only one third of what it really is, and thereby reject not only the ears on the side of the head, but also, as the poet Robert Bly has pointed out, those more veiled ears inside the heart, the gut, and the genitals. In other words, because the very best poetry is composed out of a bodily listening, it must be heard with the body—it must violate the silence of the air with its understanding of sound and rhythm so that the euphony (and / or cacophony) of sounds might enter and alter the listener with what she also knows about living on the planet, which is that it's as discordant as it is sweet. That is, there's the outside world, clashing and clanging its irrational, violent nonsense, and then the inside world, where all the cells divide, and this is the one she likes best—the one she remembers the most where she first heard the world's noise in the watery amniotic sac with the iambic clock above ticking and tocking in a black mass she could not see (this is the point) nor think about (more to the point) because the point is not the sight of the world or the thoughts we contrive about it, but the sound it makes—that swishing and swashing—for herein lies the path to feeling. Now, there are nay-sayers: vast numbers of men and women of great learning throughout the tradition who contrive of poetry as a kind of mathematics or philosophy, draining it all down to numbers or belief systems about the nature of Language or Being or Self, but here again we return to the mind, which is almost always delusional, when all along we had the body. It is with the body that we first taste, touch, smell, hear, see, and thereby understand the world. It is via the vehicle of the body that we perceive how hungry we are—how forsaken or festive. To hear poetry read aloud is, yes, to reenact the traditions of the tribe, but, far more importantly, to hear poetry read aloud is to infuse the body with the knowledge of the tribe, which says at the most fundamental level that we are predators, yes, but also exultant birds up in the trees, twittering our funny hearts out.

These are made with a rich dough that can be rolled in or topped with whatever you like. I just baked up a small batch plain so I could easily dip them in some hot chocolate and coffee. They are a beautiful cross between a sugar cookie and shortbread… more on the sugar cookie side of things. This is a great way to use up excess egg yolks after making meringues, or chocolate mousse. But, if you want to make these first, at least you also know what to do with your whites! I like icebox cookies because they are essentially cookies anytime, whip up a recipe throw the cookie log in the freezer, slice and bake and you've got fresh cookies in 15 minutes. If you think ahead… I didn't… you can roll them in coconut, chocolate, nuts, etc. and have fancier versions ready for when guests surprize you!
Icebox Cookies
This recipe makes about 2 large logs of dough… I am not a log-forming master, so you can probably make many more small logs.
- 2 cups butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 egg yolks
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- tasty flavour additions: 1/2 tsp cardamon or 1 tbsp orange zest or swap 1/4 tsp of vanilla for a flavoured extract like almond or roll the log immediately after forming it, in chocolate shavings, crushed walnuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and salt until pale and fluffy.
- Add yolks and beat well, scraping down the sides. Add vanilla.
- Add flour (and flavours if wanted) and mix until just combined.
- Separate in two and roll into logs. Roll the logs in desired toppings. Wrap the logs in plastic and freeze for at least two hours, but feel free to leave them longer, until you want them! Slice off one, or two, or twenty cookies and bake!
- Heat oven to 350°F. Cover a baking sheet in parchment paper.
- Unwrap log, and place on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice off 1/4 inch cookies.
- Arrange cookies on your baking sheet, 1 inch apart and bake until pale golden, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Serve with coffee, milk, hot chocolate, or just a smile.

In addition to running Outdoorplay, starting a school for under privileged kids in Peru, rushing to the border, planning an emergency trip to the US for ear surgery, and trying to save Mongo's life, we've also been juggling a new ball in the air.
It's official. We are extremely proud to announce that Sprinter Life is pregnant!
We've been talking about the idea of starting a family for a couple of years now. We finally pulled the trigger, and so it begins…
Wow, so much to say that I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll give you a little background history on how we got here.
Let me start by confessing that I was always that guy who never wanted kids. I wanted to travel the world and rock climb and kayak and surf… no strings attached.
Then I met and fell in love with Stevie, my sweet city girl from LA.
She made it clear from day one that she DID want kids. About 2 years into our relationship this issue came to a head and WE ACTUALLY BROKE UP FOR 4 MONTHS over it~
I still remember the last thing we said to each other before the break up…
STEVIE – "I don't need you. I'll find someone who wants to have a baby. And if I can't, I'll just have a baby on my own!"
TREE – "I don't need you. I'm going to get in my van and drive to the tip of South America. You'll regret this! Plus, just for your information, you can't even HAVE a baby by yourself. It takes two. SO THERE!"
We didn't make it very long before we had our big realizations and confessed them to each other…
STEVIE – "I don't even want to have a baby unless it's with you"
TREE – "I really need a co-pilot for the Pan-Am. I hear there's no street signs down there. Can you learn spanish?"
Seriously, there was too much powerful energy pulling us together to fight it. We re-grouped and started to plan our life together. A life that included everything that we BOTH wanted.
As soon as I realized that I couldn't live without Stevie, what she wanted no longer felt like a compromise. Although the idea of having a baby scared the hell out of me, I started to embrace the idea of becoming a father.
We came up with a plan. We would drive the Pan-American highway, allowing ourselves 2 years on the road. Then we'd go back to SoCal and have a kid. Win-win. This photo was shot the night of our departure from LA.
What neither of us could possibly predict was how much our perspectives would change when we let go of doubt and embraced our love instead. Slowly the boundaries put up by a lifetime of ingrained fear dropped away. Everything became possible as long as we were together.
Not to say that we didn't have amazing mentors along the way. A real paradigm shift came when we picked up two street vendors in Cartagena, Colombia. Paula and Guillermo were from Brazil, and traveled with us through Colombia and Venezuela. This was our highlight of 2011.
I still remember my conversation with Guillermo when I told him our grand plan of traveling through South America and how excited I was to return to the USA to have a baby. He laughed and said (in spanish)…
"Tree, babies are born everywhere, in every country. Why would you leave your life to start a life? Let your baby come wherever you are"
Breakthrough moment.
(photo shot on the border of Colombia and Venezuela)
That was a game changer for us. The light went on. We realized that our "life" wasn't back in the United States. It was right where we were, in that very moment. We were living it. There was no need to return.
Baby, we're ready when you're ready. Come and join us.
A word to my baby:
And so, you heard our call. And here you come. We're waiting for you. I'm waiting for you. I can't wait to show you this world. Buckle up kid, because your Mom and I ROCK it down here. I promise you it won't be boring. I promise you will be loved and cherished.
Welcome to the Sprinter Life Pack my child.
xoxoxo – TREE
Footnote: We've obviously known about this for several weeks. Please note that this post and several more to come were written at the time of events and held for future posting after we went public with the news.

- Lawan, Akume out; Ndume, Na'Alla win in Senate
MEMBERS of the House of
Representatives yesterday
threw caution to the wind,
as they embarked on
physical combat over the
selection of the remaining
principal officers for the
green chamber.
The free-for-all was
between All Progressives
Congress, APC, lawmakers
and the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, counterparts
over disagreement on the
nominees presented by the
ruling party's leadership for
the affected offices, and the
candidates preferred by the Hon. Dogara enjoys massive support from the PDP lawmakers who influenced his emergence as the speaker of the lower house.
The fracas disrupted the day's proceedings for almost two hours.
Trouble started when Dogara called for a motion to enable the House go into an executive session.
But the APC lawmakers insisted that the speaker should first read a letter from the party as regards the selection of principal officers of the House.
The Ad-hoc committee chairman on Rules and Business, Hon. Orker-Jev Yisa had barely stood up to move the motion when APC lawmakers led by Hon. Ali Madaki (Kano) rushed to seize the mace.
He was, however, overpowered by the Sergeant-at-Arms and some PDP lawmakers.
While the fracas lasted, all the PDP members shielded the speaker from possible attack.
As the ugly incident lingered, Hon. Leo Ogor (PDP Delta) and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila (APC Lagos) were seen on different occasions conferring with the speaker on the next line of action.
Gbajabiamila was strongly resisted when he wanted to address his APC lawmakers to calm down.
Incensed by the development, the deputy speaker, Hon. Yussuf Lasun threatened to fight whoever attacks him.
"I am a Yoruba man and I will fight," he stated.
Calm gradually returned to the floor at about 12:35pm when most of the weary-looking lawmakers began to take their seats.
While the free-for-all lasted, the House was filled with shout of "APC shame! APC shame!"
The APC lawmakers quickly countered, singing: "APC power, APC power."
In his remarks, Dogara expressed dissatisfaction that despite the change promised by the APC, Nigerians were yet to see anything close to it.
He therefore called on the APC leadership to concentrate on policies and programmes that would affect Nigerians positively, instead of indulging in the affairs of the House.
Dogara said: "We are very fortunate; let me remind us of the fact that we are very fortunate. In a nation of 170 million people, only 360 of us are selected or elected to represent the people and we should be grateful to our constituents for sending us here.
"To be candid, we have promised so much in the course of our elections and even the very party I belong to, the APC, we have promised change and Nigerians expect us to really talk about those matters; those issues that bother them most. They want to hear us talk about unemployment and poverty. In my region they want us to address insecurity and as long as this House is divided and not united, we cannot achieve that.
"We have been down this rough road before so I plead with all honourable members that as leaders all hands must be on deck to enable us achieve the desired unity in other to move this House forward, that is the responsibility we owe.
"As to the issues that led to the fracas today (yesterday), we will sit down as leaders and resolve the matter as quickly as possible and that is what we will do by the Grace of God," he said.
Dogara thereafter adjourned plenary till July 21, 2015.
Shortly after the House had adjourned, APC members loyal to the party told the House Press Corps that the fracas was in reaction to the illegal and unconstitutional action taken by the speaker.
Hon. Nasiru Sani Zangon Daura (APC Katsina), who spoke on their behalf, noted that in his usual tradition, the speaker was bent on disregarding the wishes of the party caucus in the House.
He stressed that under extant laws and House rules, the speaker cannot appoint, select or dictate how party principal officers would emerge.
"We are aware of a letter sent by our party dated 23rd June, 2015, conveying the approval of the party's principal officers vis a vis the APC House Leader, the APC Chief Whip, the APC Deputy House Leader and the APC Deputy Chief Whip for the House of Representatives."
Also briefing the journalists, the PDP caucus led by Hon. Leo Ogor described the incident as "very unparliamentary."
Ogor said that it was a bad precedence for the APC.
He, however, wondered what manner of change the party intended to bring to Nigerians.
The House Ad-hoc Committee on Media led by Hon. Sani Soro (APC Jigawa) said the conduct of his colleagues was contrary to the Standing Orders of the House.
Ndume, Na'Alla emerge Senate Majority Leader, Deputy
At the Senate session, the lawmakers seemed to have found a way out of the leadership crisis among the APC senators, with Senate President Bukola Saraki announcing Senator Ali Ndume (North East) and Senator Bala Ibn Na'Allah (North West) as Senate leader and deputy leader respectively.
He said they emerged from their regional caucuses of the APC.
Saraki, who inaugurated two committees (Ad-hoc Committee on Legislative Agenda and the Committee on Finance) at the Senate plenary, also announced Senator Francis Alimikhena (South South/Edo State) as the deputy whip.
Although Senator Kabiru Marafa, a frontline advocate for the pro-Ahmed Lawan group, raised objection through a point of order, stressing that the Senate cannot override the position of the party as regards the sharing of leadership positions.
He argued that it was inappropriate to read letters from any caucus when the Senate president could not read a letter from the party leadership on Wednesday.
"If you cannot read the party's letter, you cannot read any letter from any caucus as no caucus is bigger than the party," Marafa insisted.
Marafa's point of order was countered by Senator Danjuma Goje who also cited Order 53 upon which he stated that "standing on the same order and the ruling of yesterday that the issue has been settled by the Senate and therefore should not be brought up again."
Saraki, also referring to Order 53 (6), said it would be out of order to attempt to reconsider a specific issue which the Senate had already ruled on.
He also explained that Order 26(j) says interpretation of rule is at the discretion of the Senate president, Saraki ruled Marafa's point out of order.
Meanwhile, members of the Finance Committee are Senators Ndume (APC Borno North), Ahmed Sani (APC Zamfara West), Shaaba Lafiagi (APC Kwara North), Sonni Ogbuoji (PDP Ebonyi South) with James Manager (PDP Delta South) as chairman.
Others are Senators Gbenga Ashafa (APC Lagos East), Shehu Sani (Kaduna Central), Dino Melaye (APC Kogi West) and Ben Murray-Bruce (Bayelsa East).
The Legislative Agenda Committee members are Senators Babajide Omoworare (APC Osun East), Duro Faseyi (PDP Ekiti North), Tayo Alasoadura (APC Ondo Central), Sonni Ogbuoji (PDP Ebonyi South) and Uche Ekwunife (PDP Anambra Central).
Other members are Senators Hope Uzodinma (PDP Imo West), Ben Murray-Bruce (PDP Bayelsa East), George Sekibo (PDP Rivers East), John Enoh (PDP Cross River Central), Mohammed Hassan (Yobe South) and Ndume (APC Borno North).
There are also Senators Binta Garba (APC Adamawa North, Kabiru Gaya (APC Kano South), Shehu Sani (APC Kaduna Central), Bala Na'Allah (APC Kebbi South), David Umoru (APC Niger East) and Joshua Dariye (PDP Plateau Central).
The Senate thereafter adjourned plenary till July 21, 2015.

In a very special and critical time in the history of Israel and the entire world, the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement marched on the third day of the Festival of Pesach, 17 Nisan 5771 (April 21, 2011), to the Holy Temple Mount carrying the "Omer" as an offering to the G‑d of Israel, exactly as our forefathers did when they made their pilgrimages from every corner of the Land of Israel to the Holy House of G‑d in Jerusalem. Like our forefathers, we answered the call of G‑d and the call and desire of our hearts to renew the practice in our days exactly as in biblical times, and to rebuild the Holy Temple of G‑d in Jerusalem and to fulfill the biblical godly mission given to Israel: to be "a holy nation, a kingdom of priests and the light to the nations" (Exodus 19:6), when G‑d dwells in the midst of His people in Jerusalem, in the midst of the entire world.
In a time when most of the nations throughout the world are blind and do not see or recognize the major godly event that is taking place in Israel, where the G‑d of Israel is rebuilding His Kingdom together with His people Israel in the Holy Land in order to open a new godly moral age in the life of the entire world, the Temple Mount Faithful Movement marched to the Holy Temple Mount to say to the entire world: stop your pressure on Israel to establish a "Palestinian" Islamic state of terror and hatred in the midst of the Holy Land of Israel and Jerusalem. We came to say to all of the nations that they cannot change the plans of G‑d to accomplish the redemption of the people and the Land of Israel through the rebuilding of His Holy Temple in Jerusalem, where G‑d and His Holy Word will dwell in the midst of the capital of His people and from this most Holy City enlighten all the world:
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the L‑rd's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all the nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the L‑rd, to the house of the G‑d of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the L‑rd from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide among many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war any more. And they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the L‑rd of hosts has spoken it." (Isaiah 2:2-4, Micah 4:1-4)
During this Pesach everyone in Israel could feel the special atmosphere and the significance of this special time all over the Land of Israel, and especially in Jerusalem and on the Holy Temple Mount. When we demonstrated our call in front of the Holy Temple Mount, we could feel the divine presence of the G‑d of Israel in the midst of us. During this Pesach festival, when tens of thousands of Israelis came to the Western Wall of the Holy Temple Mount to pray for the redemption of the Holy Mountain of G‑d and for the rebuilding of His Holy Temple, we could feel and almost hear the steps of Messiah ben David in Jerusalem. When we heard the priestly blessing spoken by hundreds of priests in front of the Western Wall of the Holy Temple Mount, exactly as was done in the Holy Temple during biblical times, we realized that G‑d is going to soon fulfill the campaign of the Temple Mount Faithful Movement and will bring to pass all of our desires.
This year the "Omer" offering that was carried along with us during the march to the Holy Temple Mount was cut from the mountains of Samaria, the land of the Ten Tribes. The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement is making efforts to regather the Ten Tribes back to their own land in Samaria and to reunite them with their brothers from the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin. This will fulfill the end-time vision and desire of G‑d and His people Israel, and will again make them together "one stick" and one nation under the G‑d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as it was prophesied:
"Thus says the L‑rd G‑d; Behold I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will put them and it together with the stick of Judah to form one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.... and I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king over them all: and they shall no more be two nations, nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all." (Ezekiel 37:19,22)
The "Omer" offering was not just a symbolic event but rather a very practical one, and it was a precursor to the "Omer" event that will soon take place in the Holy Third Temple that we pray and intensively work towards its soon rebuilding. The atmosphere at that great moment when we offered the "Omer" to G‑d was very holy and exciting. Suddenly the Word of G‑d to Moses became real again. It was as if we could hear the G‑d of Israel speaking to Moses:
"And the L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you are come to the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring an 'omer' of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest: and he shall wave the 'omer' before the L‑rd, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it." (Leviticus 23:9-11)
The pilgrimage of Pesach was very exciting and inspiring; it was the highlight of this event. Just to know and to feel that you are walking on the holy ground, the Holy Mountain where the Shekina of G‑d dwells in the midst of Jerusalem among His People Israel, and to feel the presence of the G‑d of Israel so strongly and inspiring; the holy ground where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob walked. The Holy Hill of G‑d where King David, and all the other kings of Israel, the prophets of Israel, and many millions of Israelites walked and came to worship the Creator -- the G‑d of Israel, to show Him their love and to feel His love toward them and to return home with a blessing that will inspire their lives. Even as I write these words I feel the excitement in my heart and in all of my body, and I am thankful to the Beloved G‑d of Israel that He gave my friends and the privilege to born in such a great generation of redemption and to dedicate our lives toward the rebuilding of the Holy Temple of G‑d on the Holy Temple Mount -- Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, to make a house of love and prayer for Israel and the entire world, for the rebuilding of His Holy Kingdom, to once again make Israel the biblical nation that fulfills the mission of G‑d for all of the nations.
This historic event ended with "Ha Tikvah," the national anthem of Israel:
"As long as a Jewish heart beats and as long as Jewish eyes look eastward,
then our 2000 years hope to be a free nation in Zion and Jerusalem is not lost."
We swore that the eyes and the hearts of the Israeli people will always be directed eastward toward the Holy Temple Mount, where the G‑d of Israel and the universe dwells.
The pilgrimage to the Holy Temple Mount was the climax of the entire Pesach event. This profound event in the redemptive history of Israel and of all mankind was a major step in the campaign of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple of G‑d in Jerusalem and for the fulfillment of the prophetic end-time plans for Israel and for all mankind. It was an important step in our prophetic goal to return the Shekina of the G‑d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to His rebuilt house on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem, in precisely the same location as the First and Second Holy Temples. Throughout this important pilgrimage we felt that the fulfillment of this major goal will come to pass in the lifetime of our generation and it will plant in the midst of the life of Israel and all of mankind the Word of G‑d and His morals and principles. The sacred atmosphere of the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem during this special event conveyed to us that this end-time vision of G‑d is soon to come about.
In G‑d we trust!!
The campaign of the Faithful Movement continues to incur many expenses, even more than at any time in the past. Everyone is called to share in the responsibility and to help us financially to fulfill our major historical and godly mission. What a great privilege it is to be a part of the greatest end-time godly cause ever!
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement wants to deeply thank her members, friends, and loyal supporters all over the world that stand with, help, and support the Movement. We can not even imagine how we could do this holy work without this help and encouragement. May the G‑d of Israel continue to bless these precious people.
The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will continue with our godly campaign and holy work. We shall proceed intensively to serve the G‑d of Israel with all of our hearts and devotion to build His Holy Temple on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem and to bring to pass all of His end-time prophetic plans for Israel and the entire world. And G‑d will be with us! Everyone is called to stand, encourage, help and support the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement in her holy campaign to bring to pass this major godly end-time vision in the lifetime of our generation together with our wonderful and devoted friends in Israel and all over the world.

José "Chepo" Reynoso, manager of WBC junior middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (40-0-1, 29KOs), has applied the pressure to reach a finalized deal with James Kirkland (31-1, 27KOs) for a pay-per-view showdown on September 15th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Canelo is scheduled to begin his training camp in July, says Reynoso. They are hoping a deal is reached with Kirkland, but if the two sides are unable to reach a financial agreement, then Reynoso will consider WBA "regular" champion Austin Trout (24-0, 14KOs), who defends the title against Delvin Rodriguez on Saturday night in California.
"We would very much like to see Kirkland accept this fight. His team is analyzing the risks that are involved in fighting with Canelo. Otherwise, we will consider Austin Trout, if he does well this weekend," Reynoso said.
Canelo was anticipating a tough defense against Paul "The Punisher" Williams. That fight was called off only days after being finalized, as Williams was involved in a serious motocycle accident on Sunday and now the boxer is paralyzed from the waist down.
