I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Disney Princess Historical Costume Influences: Cinderella (1950), Part 1 | فراک, چغا Flicks
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
Disney princesses are possibly some of the best-known characters worldwide, and part of their appeal lies in their oldey-timey-ness. Each one is certainly a product of the period in which the movie was made, but they are also almost always set in a fantasy historical setting… and thus, their costumes are fantasy historical as well. In this series, we're going to analyze each of the Disney princesses to discuss the historical influences in their costumes. We'll work in chronological order of the movies, and then we'll go back and do all the villains! Previously, we analyzed Snow White (1937), so today, it's all about…
Cinderella — originally released in 1950! This got long enough that I'm going to split it into two parts, so here is Part 1 (part 2 is here).
As we all know, Cinderella is about a beautiful, perfect-in-every way girl whose deadbeat father goes and dies on her, leaving her with her step-mother and two step-sisters. As soon as the word "step" is used, you know things aren't going to go well. All the Steps treat Cinderella as their own personal maid, forcing her to do all the housework and hang out with mice, while they sing fabulously and lounge around.
Meanwhile, you've got a Prince who REALLY doesn't want to get married (confirmed bachelor? gay?), so his father organizes a ball to get him married off (because nothing says "this marriage is going to work perfectly" than to have the couple know each other for about 5 minutes before heading the altar). An invite goes out, Cinderella wants to go, the Steps say she can IF she finishes all her chores. The mice make Cinderella a dress while she scrubs away, but when the Steps see her, they literally tear her to shreds. Enter Fairy Godmother, who magically transforms mice, pumpkins, etc., into all the gear that Cinderella might need to go to the ball, including a fabulous poufy dress. Cinderella goes to the ball, the Prince thinks she's hot, she has to be home at midnight so runs off leaving a shoe.
Instead of thinking, "Right, I just met this hottie so I'm going to scour the kingdom for the GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE HER," he instead decides to scour the kingdom for the girl whose FOOT FITS THE RANDOMLY LOST SHOE. Clearly the Prince is a foot fetishist. He hits Cinderella's house, the step-sisters WHO LOOK NOTHING LIKE CINDERELLA get to try on the shoe in their attempt to nab him, the shoe don't fit (but if it had, we'd have
, which is ludicrous). Cinderella is locked up, the mice set her free as mice do, she runs downstairs, the shoe fits, and with no other criteria, the Prince says "okey dokey let's go do the pokey!" and they get married and live happily ever after. PHEW. Okay, so the plot is a bit complicated!
The good news is that Cinderella gets way more looks than Snow White. The bad news is it's kind of a stretch to find much that ISN'T late 1940s/early 1950s in Cinderella's dresses. Oh, there's a few things, but not a lot.
When we first meet Cinderella, she's a cute little girl who still has a dad (and a REALLY CUTE PUPPY):
Her look is VERY Victorian — 1850s-60s, to be specific. Young girls in this era wore hoops (or multiple petticoats) for the large skirt shape fashionable among adult women, but the girls' dresses were cut off around mid-calf:
Huge skirts worn over hoops for the adults, similar silhouette for the young girl except it's cut off much shorter. This fashion plate is from 1860 from the
This girl's skirt is even shorter, showing her pantalettes underneath.
One other highlight of this ensemble are the white undersleeves worn underneath Cinderella's shorter (blue) oversleeve. That is straight out of the same era (1850s-60s):
Cinderella's white undersleeves contrasted with a similar style from c. 1858. The only weirdness about Cinderella's sleeve is the tight band just above the elbow, but I'll let it slide.
Also, although they're small, it looks like she is wearing two-tone, flat-soled booties, which are typical of the 1830s-60s:
On the right: Shoes, American, 1830s. Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Once dad kicks it, she wears a similar dress with darker trim and a black bow:
If there's one thing most people know, it's that Victorians were WAY into mourning and wearing black was required. Cinderella isn't committing the way most Victorians did, but probably her Step-Mother didn't want to kick down for an all-black outfit.
Fast-forward a number of years, and Cinderella wakes up to some overly chipper birds, wearing a very standard 19th/early-20th-century nightgown:
Please do not get me this alarm clock for my birthday. I will hit you.
It would be hard to pinpoint an era for this nightgown, because similar styles were worn from about the 1830s through the 1910s. Most, however, were white, so Cinderella's pretty flashy in her powder blue.
Cinderella spends most of her time in her (probably one and only) let's-get-this-shit-done housework outfit. The Steps aren't going to be shilling out for much, although do note there's no patches or anything — it's got to be relatively new, especially given how much work Cindy does:
Light blue underblouse, dark brown overblouse, medium brown skirt, white apron.
You guys. I spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME trying to decide what the hell Disney is referencing with these overbodice/overdresses. There's a similar style on Snow White (her first dress). It's probably going to turn up in future films to annoy me. Here's what I've got:
There WERE bodiced aprons worn in the mid-Victorian era, but these were mostly white and only covered the bodice front.
Children DID wear smocks around the turn of the century — maybe 1880s-1910s?
"Little Girl in a Straw Hat" by Mary Cassat, c. 1886
But I also don't think it's that, mostly because this is a child's style, and you usually see more of the underdress at the neckline (like in the second image by Renoir).
I think it's a dirndl. Yes, that fine, Oktoberfest favorite. An overbodice worn from the 19th century in "ye oldey timey traditional costumes" in Germany and Austria, based on the actual dress bodices worn in the 16th and 17th century.
Something like this: 1577 Franconian woman going to market. Hans Weigel's Trachtenbuch, 1577. British Museum.
Which by the 19th century had become romanticized to look like this: Frisia – Girl and Peasant From Wyck, Peasant Woman from Ostenfeld. Braun & Schneider, c. 1861-1880.
Which by the mid-20th century, had become this: The Sound of Music, 1965.
is about 15 years too late, so here's proof of the Joy of Dirndls in the early-mid 20th century:
Martha Peters, 1920. Bildarchiv Volkskundliche Kommision fur Westfalen.
You can find many, many more mid-20th century dirndl's in Per bar one Penny's blog post.
Okay, moving on! If I were going to work REALLY hard here, I'd argue that perhaps the length of Cinderella's work skirt was due to her wearing a young girl's length skirt/dress… but I think that's giving too much credit. Again, looking at 20th-century dirndl costumes, I think they're just going with a standard, late 1940's skirt length:
And while 1940s aprons frequently featured an attached bodice, they also had waist-down aprons as well:
And when Cinderella goes outside to feed the chickens (is THAT what the kids are calling it theses days), she wears a standard peasant-y but also fabulous kerchief tied over her hair:
Swedish peasant girl with red kerchief by Anders Leonard Zorn, 1912. Harvard Art Museum.
Her shoes look like what we would modernly call "ballet flats." They're definitely a 1940s shoe, but they were also worn in the mid-19th century as an evening shoe.
On the right: Shoes, 1830s, American. Metropolitan Museum of Art.
"Happy hands at home" is a phrase used to denote something that looks "home sewn." It's very applicable here to the ball dress that Cinderella starts, the mice make (and do they get any thanks??!!), and the Steps destroy.
dress referencing? If I've got anything, it's VERY late 1890s, VERY early 1900s evening dresses — like, 1898-1900.
A similar silhouette, with a slightly poufy bodice, narrow waist, and smallish A line skirt. This La Mode Illustree fashion plate is from 1895. You can see the big poufy sleeves favored in the mid-1890s on the right and the coming smaller style on the left.
This high puffed sleeve is very 1898-1901. The Delineator, 1897.
The main difference is that the Cinderella dress doesn't have the pigeon-front bodice. La Mode de Paris, 1898.
The one thing I can't wrap my brain around are these high, poufed, Jetsons-esque sleeves. They just look space age to me. Notice in the original design/drawing, these look less like puffed sleeves and more like a 1980s portrait collar.
On the left: "Beverly Hills 90210," baby (1993).
Perhaps it's trying to be an 1840s-60s bertha, which was the name for a similar across-the-width-of-the-shoulders bodice decoration:
If it's a sleeve, then you do see a high, often poufed, sleeve in the very late 1890s, so that's all I've got:
On the right: Standard Designer, June 1897. Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A slightly similar cap sleeve on the right-hand dress in this vintage 1940s Simplicity pattern.
And then the Steps get their hands on it, and actually kind of improve it… although sadly Cinderella has yet to channel her "Pretty in Pink" vibe.
Look for Part 2 covering Cinderella's ball gown and wedding dress — and her hair!
Gus Gus is the best! Also, it's amazing how much Cinderella's dress looks like Maria's in that Sound of Music pic you posted!
I know! I originally grabbed that image as a joke, but putting them side by side went "whoa!"
Your comment about the age of her everyday work dress reminds me of a teacher I had in college. He taught a course on myth & fairy tales (folklore, he would grumble–there aren't fairies in most of these stories) and we covered Cinderella. His primary gripe was that Disney was a clean freak and had literally cleaned up a number of these stories. No patches, no dirt, not even a smudge on her face! He pointed out that in the older versions, CINDERella was so dirty that when clean, her family didn't recognize her. Even in Perrault's version, she was grubbier than Disney's version.
It's fun to speculate, but the truth is it's just a story a kids story at that. It's meant to appeal to them. Also it's got to be easy to animate. Smudges of dirt, or patches are much harder to animate consistently. In the end all movies are for entertainment and this one succeeds.
Of course! It's a great movie with beautiful designs. But isn't it interesting to try to guess what the designers/animators were going for in the costumes? Nothing comes out of thin air.
I hate to nit-pick, but in Disney's movie the Prince doesn't go searching for Cinderella, the Grand Duke is sent by the King to find ANY girl who fits the slipper. It isn't explained why the Prince sits out the search. The live action version released this spring actually makes more sense in this regard.
I love this blog it's amazing and very ressourceful for people who are interested in History and the History of clothing. Thank you so much! I hope you'll make one about he stepmother and stepsisters.
Yes! We'll get to the villains once we're done with the princesses.
Ok first, I wore the 90210 Spring Fling dress to my prom. now on a less serious note. While Victorian adult women would wear deep mourning, young girls were not expected to. It would be common for them to wear white with black or deep purple sashes, hair ribbons and armbands. Also, since both her step-mother and step-sisters are in colors, you can assume that he just passed as social convention would require at least 1 year of deep mourning, 6 months of regular mourning, and an additional 6 months of half or light mourning.
Considering his body is underneath the sheet on the bed, I would say that he did indeed just pass.
I really loved reading this article! Thank you so much for putting it together! Extremely late to the conversation, but I believe you're right as far as the portrait collar reference on Cindy's pink bow-tastic nightmare dress. But rather than the 80's style, it's based on the 50's portrait collar. It was stylish on cocktail and evening dresses at the time. It's also what the pointy shoulder bits on Aurora's gown are said to be modeled after. Here's some examples I found through google:

Gliknik Inc. Announces Interim Clinical Data From Use of Its Immunomodulator Drug Candidate in Multiple Myeloma Patients
BALTIMORE, Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gliknik Inc., a privately held biopharmaceuticals company, today announced that researchers from University of Pennsylvania and University of Maryland presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting interim clinical data from a study that included treatment of high-risk multiple myeloma patients with Gliknik's MAGE-A3 immunomodulator, GL-0817. GL-0817 is in ongoing Phase II clinical studies in both multiple myeloma and head and neck cancer.
Researchers shared the results on December 10, 2012, via an oral presentation entitled "Combination Immunotherapy After ASCT for Multiple Myeloma Using MAGE-A3/Poly-ICLC Immunizations Followed by Vaccine-Primed and Activated Autologous T-Cells." Based on the interim analysis, researchers saw a 180-day rate of complete or partial response of 96 percent. Interventions in the clinical study include Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), Gliknik's GL-0817, and T-cell transplant with adjuvants GM-CSF, montanide (Seppic), and Poly ICLC (Hiltonol, Oncovir). Researchers reported robust antigen-specific T-cell responses as well as robust antibody responses in patients who received montanide. The abstract for the presentation is available at https://ash.confex.com/ash/2012/webprogram/Paper53391.html.
Carl H. June, M.D., Richard W. Vague Professor in Immunotherapy, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, stated, "These data are intriguing, especially when compared to the results from our previous trials. The robust clinical and immunologic responses to date suggest that the combination of therapies may be beneficial for patients with recurrent or high-risk multiple myeloma. A larger study combining GL-0817, adjuvants, primed T-cell therapy, and ASCT may be warranted."
"In the challenging population of recurrent, high-risk multiple myeloma patients, clinical responses were encouraging," said Aaron P. Rapoport, M.D., Gary Jobson Professor in Medical Oncology, University of Maryland School of Medicine and Director of Lymphoma Gene Medicine, Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center. "Significant immune cell responses against GL-0817 were also seen. It will be important to continue to follow the patients to monitor their future progress."
About Gliknik's Immunomodulator Platform
The immunomodulator platform is Gliknik's most clinically advanced program with compounds currently in multiple-dose studies in patients with advanced cancers, including multiple myeloma and head and neck cancers. Gliknik immunomodulators are designed to train the immune system to target tumor cells bearing MAGE-A3 and HPV16 epitopes respectively.

I decided I wanted to make some rolls at the same time I made the Crème de Tequila bread and as I opened up my refrigerator to get a snack I spotted the extra potato knishes I had heated up the other day for dinner. Well…one thing lead to another and the inspiration for my latest bake was born.
My last few bakes for rolls did not use a sourdough starter, so I wanted to use one for this bake while still achieving a nice moist and soft roll.
I had some leftover coffee from the barbecue sauce I made the other night for this past weekends ribs and smoked brisket so into the mix went the coffee.
I made a levain using my AP starter as the seed and added some bread flour and organic Turkey Red Wheat flour as well to give this bake some needed whole grain goodness.
To make the dough a little more soft I added some Greek style yogurt and to compliment the potato knish filling I added some sautéed onions.
For the main dough I used more of the Turkey Red Wheat flour along with European style flour from KAF and an egg for good measure.
I only used the inside filling from the knishes and not the outer skin which would have been a bit too chewy I fear.
I must say the final rolls came out perfect. I brushed some milk on the rolls right out of the oven and they ended up nice and soft and chewy with a fantastic flavor combination. Considering there is no butter or very little fat in these rolls they came out remarkably soft and tasty.
Levain Directions
Mix all the levain ingredients together for about 1 minute and cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit at room temperature for around 7-8 hours or until the starter has doubled. I usually do this the night before.
Either use in the main dough immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day before using.
Main Dough Procedure
Mix the flours, and most of the coffee (leave a little to adjust after the autolyse) together in your mixer or by hand until it just starts to come together, maybe about 1 minute. Let it rest in your work bowl covered for 20-30 minutes. Next add the salt, starter (cut into about 7-8 pieces), egg, potato filling, yogurt, and onions and mix on low for a minute. Add the rest of the coffee unless the dough is way too wet. Mix on low-speed for another 4 minutes. Remove the dough from your bowl and place it in a lightly oiled bowl or work surface and do several stretch and folds. Let it rest covered for 10-15 minutes and then do another stretch and fold. Let it rest another 10-15 minutes and do one additional stretch and fold. After a total of 2 hours place your covered bowl in the refrigerator and let it rest for 12 to 24 hours.
When you are ready to bake remove the bowl from the refrigerator and let it set out at room temperature still covered for 1.5 to 2 hours. Remove the dough and shape as desired. I made about a dozen rolls. Place your dough into your proofing basket(s) or on a cookie sheet and cover with a moist tea towel or plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray.
The dough will take 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your room temperature. Let the dough dictate when it is read to bake not the clock.
Around 45 minutes before ready to bake, pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees F. and prepare it for steam. I have a heavy-duty baking pan on the bottom rack of my oven with 1 baking stone on above the pan and one on the top shelf. I pour 1 cup of boiling water in the pan right after I place the dough in the oven.
Right before you are ready to put them in the oven, brush them with an egg wash and add your favorite toppings. Next add 1 cup of boiling water to your steam pan or follow your own steam procedure.
After 1 minute lower the temperature to 425 degrees. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the rolls are nice and brown and the internal temperature of the rolls are about 205 degrees. If desired brush with some milk right after they come out of the oven to make them even softer.
Take the bread out of the oven when done and let it cool on a bakers rack before for at least 2 hours before eating.

A Miami team's good sportsmanship during a youth soccer tournament at the happiest place on Earth is coming into question.
On Saturday, Pachuca FC from Miami played against the Orlando EC/QPR Academy at the Disney Cup International Youth Soccer Tournament.
The Miami team was vying for the number one spot but lost 2 to 1 to the Orlando team.
Instead of handshakes, the players apparently exchanged kicks and punches.
"[He] comes to me and punch me and scratch me in the face, and I punch him and I said 'Don't touch me!'," said Jesus Albornoz, the Miami team's center back.
He has a swollen eye and a scratch on the side of his face.
Alboronoz says the punch came not from a rival teenaged soccer player, but from a parent of one on the other team.
The reason for the violence on the field is unclear but it has turned into a blame game.
The Miami team says when the blow of losing the most important tournament of the season hit them hard.One team member started crying on the ground. Then an Orlando goalie literally kicked that player when he was down.
"The goalie comes to my player and kicks him in the face," said Alboronoz.
The Osceola County Sheriff's Office is recommending that player be charged with felony battery. The State Attorney's office will make the final decision.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, parents of players on the Orlando team claim one of their teens suffered a concussion as a result of the brawl. They also accuse parents of the Miami players of storming the field and hurting their kids.
"A grandparent was punched in the chest, and his pacemaker went off," Matthew Fienberg, whose 16-year-old son was treated at Florida Celebration Health for a concussion told the paper.
Miami Coach Vladamir Duque says the team does not condone violence. He denies that the Pachuca team's parents got involved.
"It's a very serious matter that an adult on the other team would hurt a 16-year-old." Duque said in Spanish.
Alboronoz maintains that he only hit the adult when that man struck him first.
Coach Duque said he and team leaders will discuss a punishment for their players but will consider the fact that they don't believe the Pachuca team started the brawl.
An Orlando parent of one of the players, who was reached by telephone, said he didn't want to comment.

Sweeney shines in Indy
Brian Sweeney shut out the Indians for six innings, helping the Bisons to a 5-1 win in Indianapolis Thursday.
Sweeney allowed just one run, a solo homer by John Bowker in the seventh inning. He left after that inning, allowing four hits and striking out four with no walks. After three starts with Buffalo, Sweeney is 1-2.
Valentino Pascuccui went 2-for-2 with three walks and three RBI, including a two-run double in the first inning off of Indians starter Sean Gallagher.
In the third, Gallagher allowed a double to Luis Figueroa before an RBI single by Michael Fisher. The pitcher loaded the bases, walking Pascucci and hitting Herd catcher Mike Nickeas in the wrist.
Raul Chavez then replaced Nickeas at first and caught the final seven innings.
Gallagher avoided major harm in the third, getting Jesus Feliciano to ground into an inning-ending double play.
Fisher, who went 4-for-5 with two runs, added his second RBI of the day with a solo shot off of Gallagher in the fifth.
Gallagher left after five, allowing four runs (all earned) on eight hits with two walks and two strikeouts.
Sweeney helped his own cause with a sixth-inning double off of reliever Dan Meyer, but was caught in a rundown when Figueroa grounded out to end the inning.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis went 2-for-4, scoring twice. After Pascucci scored Nieuwenhuis in the seventh, the Bisons again left the bases loaded, but held on for the victory with relievers Dale Thayer and Justin Hampson shutting out the eighth and ninth, respectively.
Pascucci now has 19 RBI on the season, passing Ruben Tejada for the team lead. The Bisons are 2-2 in morning starts.
The Bisons close their eight-game road trip Friday night in Indianapolis, looking for a win to salvage a split with the Indians.

I take the MCM test on Friday. I've been watching videos and reading white papers and blogs for the last few weeks and I know that I don't necessarily know enough. To some extent I have an advantage since I test well on multiple choice tests and I have a broad set of knowledge for SQL Server.
But I don't know enough. The more I study, the more it becomes painfully clear how much more there is to SQL Server that I don't understand. Each day I learn something new, but I also learn that there are things I wasn't aware of
Often, I find that things I just learned are things that friends already know. The thing that gives me some hope is that they will learn something and tell me, not realizing I already know about it.
We all have these uneven holes of knowledge, and just because we do, or don't, know about feature X, doesn't mean that we don't know a lot about feature Y. We have un-evenly learned SQL Server since there isn't a set path on which to learn.
So I'm nervous, just because it's a measure of my skill, not because it matters to my career. It will give me a benchmark, and a place from which I can make a plan for how much more I want to learn about SQL Server, and in which areas to work.

|*July 2 - 8
|Lord of Our Priorities
Read for This Week's Study:
|Gen. 2:24, Exod. 19:5, Job 1:1-5, Rom. 3:24, Eph. 1:7.
Memory Text:
|" 'But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you' " (Matthew 6:33, NKJV).
Key Thought:
|The Lord Jesus Christ does not ask to be first among equals in our
lives. He asks to be first without equal.
The radical claim of Jesus. Jesus asks us to give Him unrivaled first place in our lives. To all who would be His disciples, He says" 'If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple' " (Luke 14:26, NKJV).
Obviously, this statement of Jesus cannot be taken literally. If we are called as followers of Jesus to love our enemies (Matt. 5:44), we should certainly love those closest to us, such as our immediate family. Jesus is not asking us to hate our family members; instead, using powerful and exaggerated imagery, He's saying that we must give Him first place in our lives. He wants to be our top priority, the recipient of our highest devotion. After all, considering who He isnot only our Creator but the One who redeemed us with His own blood (see 1 Pet. 1:18, 19)we owe Him everything, and He's asking us to acknowledge that debt by making Him first in our lives. How could we do any less?
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, July 9.
|July 3
The Earth Is the Lord's
Read the following texts. How do they help us understand the claims Jesus has over our lives?
Ps. 24:1
50:10, 11
The whole idea of the Lord having priority in our lives is dependent upon who He is in contrast to who we are. It's in the context of this relationship that we can understand why the Lord should be given complete priority over our priorities. The leader of one nation doesn't have the moral or legal right to make rules for the citizens of another country, does he? The president of France, for instance, doesn't have the authority to tell people living in Paraguay how they must live.
The Lord, as our Creator, is the sovereign Ruler of the universe. Whether we acknowledge it or not, He has authority over us, in much the same way a ruler in a particular land has authority over the citizens of that country. Though the Lord has given us stewardship and responsibility over the things on the earth, whatever we possess, whatever gifts we have, we have only because God first created these things and then gave them to us.
It's crucial to keep this realization before us because God does not force us to use, for His glory, the gifts He's given us. He's made us free, free to prioritize as we wish. We can acknowledge His claims over us, not just in words but in how we live and how we prioritize, or we can go our own way, doing what we want and, of course, reaping the sad results of our wrong choices.
|Whatever you have, whatever you are, dwell upon how everything comes from God. How should this realization help you understand how you should set your priorities?
|July 4
Redeemer God
"I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee" (Isa. 44:22).
Yesterday's lesson looked at the claims God has over us by virtue of the fact He is our Creator. In that sense, He is our Owner. And yet, in and of itself, in a fallen world, that might not be enough to get us to want to serve Him, to want to surrender our lives and priorities to Him. It might oblige us to, in the sense that someone working for his or her employer is obliged to work for that person. But God wants us to serve Him, not out of some cold, hard obligation but because we love Him for what He's done for us, not just as our Creator but also as our Redeemer.
In your own mind, recall the situations where you did something for someone because you felt obliged to, as opposed to when you did something for someone because you really loved and appreciated this person. How does this contrast help you better understand the way the Lord wants us to relate to Him?
The Bible makes it clear the Lord is not only our Creator but our Redeemer. Numerous verses talk about Jesus in the role of our Redeemer, of having done the work of redemption in our behalf. Indeed, it's impossible to understand His death on the cross apart from the notion of redemption.
Read Romans 3:24; Galatians 3:13; Titus 2:14; 1 Peter 1:18, 19. How do these verses about Christ's work of redemption in our behalf help you want to serve the Lord and surrender your God-given gifts to Him?
The word for "redeem," or "redemption," both in the Old and New Testament, comes from various words that mean things like "to buy back' "to ransom," "to deliver." These ideas convey the truths of what Jesus did for us. Thus, not only is He our Creator; He is our Redeemer. He ransomed us from the power and, ultimately, the final legal consequences of sin (see Rom. 6:23). When we begin to grasp what this redemption means for us personally, when we experience for ourselves the joy of freedom of this redemption, then it becomes so much easier to make Him the Lord of our priorities.
|July 5
The Example of the Lord Jesus Christ
Doing His Father's will was the number one priority of Jesus. His plan for life was simply this: To discover the Father's will and do it.
Look up the following texts. What is being said in each case? What's the common theme found in them all? What do they tell us about Jesus and the example of obedience He presents for us?
"So utterly was Christ emptied of self that He made no plans for Himself. He accepted God's plans for Him, and day by day the Father unfolded His plans. So should we depend upon God, that our lives may be the simple outworking of His will."Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 208.
What a powerful example is Christ's life of complete surrender that not only His deeds but His words were from the Father.
|Go back over the texts for today. Put the basic thoughts together and ask, What's the message they have for me? What do I need to change in order to move better toward this ideal as personified in Jesus?
|July 6
First on Your Agenda (Luke 6:46).
What question does Jesus ask His hearers at the end of His Sermon on the Mount? Luke 6:46. How different would your life be if you did everything Jesus told you to do?
Obedience is the ultimate evidence that we have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord. His will becomes our will. His plans become our plans. As a loving response to His saving grace, we yield ourselves completely to Him as Lord of every aspect of our lives.
We must avoid at all costs the fatal delusion of calling Jesus "Lord" but failing to recognize His lordship over our lives as we plan our daily schedules. We can easily become preoccupied with working out our own agendas. Instead of asking the Lord to rule and overrule in every activity of our day, we ask God to bless the plans we have already made. Ellen White suggests a different strategy for those who have accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord: "Surrender all your plans to Him, to be carried out or given up as His providence shall indicate. Thus day by day you may be giving your life into the hands of God, and thus your life will be molded more and more after the life of Christ."Steps to Christ, p. 70.
Consider the stories of the following Bible characters. Where did God's plans for them conflict with their own personal plans?
Tim. 4:10
|Who can't see himself or herself, to some degree, reflected in these stories? Some of the stories (as far as we can tell) had a good ending, some bad. What made the crucial difference?
|July 7
First in Your Day (Ps. 5:1-3, Mark 1:35).
Our Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated the importance of seeking God first in the day. Mark records that "in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He [Jesus] went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed" (Mark 1:35, NKJV). "The early morning often found Him in some secluded place, meditating, searching the Scriptures, or in prayer. From these quiet hours He would return to His home to take up His duties again, and to give an example of patient toil."Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, p. 90.
We would do well to follow the example of our Lord. While it is important to set the Lord always before us (see Ps. 16:8), it also is appropriate to set aside special times of prayer. David prayed in the morning, at noon, and in the evening (see Ps. 55:17). Daniel followed a similar practice (see Dan. 6:10).
Read the psalmist's prayer in Psalm 5:1-3. Why do you think the morning is such an important time to especially focus our attention on the Lord? What is it about the morning (or whenever you first wake up) that makes it such an important time to commune with God?
What things are you letting interfere with a consistent morning devotional life? Why not, right now, prayerfully resolve in your heart to use this precious time when you begin your day to keep in communion with the Lord?
|July 8
Further Study:
|Think of individuals mentioned in Scripture who put God first in their
lives and allowed Him to be the Lord of their priorities. For example, consider
the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Read
1:26-38. Notice her response to the claim of God.
Note: The idea of yielding our lives under the authority of another is not a popular concept in the twenty-first century. People want to be the masters of their own destinies. They want to be in control. Christians have a different perspective. The One who calls us to live under His lordship is our loving Savior, who gave His life to redeem us. Under His lordship we find freedom, not bondage. We are sons and daughters, not slaves.
Discussion Questions:
| How is it possible to follow the example of Jesus who "made no
plans for Himself" but simply allowed the Father to direct His steps? Give
some practical suggestions as to how that approach to life might be implemented.
Share your ideas with the class.
Look at two other important areas of your life, family, and finances. What are some practical ways we can acknowledge the lordship of Jesus in these two crucial areas?
Look up as many texts as you can find that talk about Christ as the Sacrifice for our sins and then write down a paragraph summarizing what they are saying. As a class, have people read aloud what they wrote. How does this great news help motivate you to want to serve the Lord and surrender to Him all He's given you? What greater motivation could we possibly have to do this?
|I N S I D E Story
|God Is Faithful, part 1
Maria Tzenova
My dreams were coming true; I was studying at the University of Bulgaria. I was not yet a member of the church, but I understood the Bible principles, and I believed. My parents were not believers, but I had shared what I believe with them. My mother had visited the church, but my father was not interested in this strange new religion.
Then I learned that the required labs for my Latin class fell on Saturday. I was determined to keep the Sabbath, so I decided to talk to the professor, a severe woman who seldom smiled. After the first class I approached her and made my request to miss the labs.
"No!" she shouted loudly. "If you do not attend the labs, you will fail the class. And without this class you cannot major in English. So you might as well leave the university now!" She turned and walked away, leaving me standing alone.
That afternoon I went to the train station to go home for the weekend. I sat wrapped in my winter jacket, not so much from the cold as from fear for my future, which looked as bleak as the sky outside. Fail the course? Leave the university? Lose my dream? Never! I had worked too hard to get this far.
What would my parents say? They had been so proud of me. How would I tell them that my faith in God, my religious convictions, would prevent me from fulfilling my dream? My mother had just begun to accept my new faith. If I left the university because of the Sabbath, what would she think of my faith? Would her fragile faith crumble? Would mine?
I decided not to tell my parents. Not yet. Then I had an idea. I would not have classes on Sabbath forever. I could postpone my baptism until the class ended. This seemed like a reasonable solution. But it did not bring the comfort I had hoped.
I knew the fourth commandment, but I wanted to understand what God had in mind for me in this situation. I took out my New Testament and prayed for guidance. Then I opened it to Galatians 4:9. "But now that you know Godor rather are known by Godhow is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them. . . again?" (NIV). I closed the New Testament, knowing what I had to do. It made no difference that I was not baptized; I would be faithful to God, no matter what.
The future looked bleak, but I had peace.

Mizzou Sweeps Doubleheader to Take Auburn Series
COLUMBIA — Keaton Steele threw his first complete game of his Missouri baseball (15-24, 7-14) career and launched a home run as the Tigers swept a Sunday, April 28 double-header against Auburn (25-18, 7-14) to take the series. Steele allowed a run in the first inning of game one, which Missouritook 3-1, the only earned run Tiger pitchers allowed on the day.
Dylan Kelly had two RBI in game one, both coming on a two-out single to right in the third inning that proved to be the decisive hit in the contest. Steele finished the day with two RBI, one in each game. Shane Segovia claimed a two-RBI single in game two to give the Tigers a three-run lead, and he scored two runs in Sunday's action.
Brett Graves, Jake Walsh and Eric Anderson combined for a 4-1 win in game two, Graves' first win of the season.
Graves worked quickly at the onset of Game Two, working two scoreless innings before pitching himself into a jam in the third. After allowing the first two runners to reach base, Auburn sacrificed both into scoring position. A passed ball allowed a run to score, giving the visiting Tigers a 1-0 lead before Graves induced a ground out and struck out a batter to end the frame, limiting the damage the one run.
Steele led off the bottom of the 4th with a long homer to left. Kelly and Kendall Keeton both walked, and Segovia's two-RBI single pushed the lead to 4-1. Walsh took over for Graves in the sixth, and he threw a scoreless frame before leaving the bases loaded with two outs before handing the ball to Anderson, who needed one pitch to close it out.
The Tigers takes on Southeast Missouri State on Tuesday, April 30, at 6 p.m.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake announced today that it has partnered with LifeVantage (NASDAQ: LFVN) for a long-term, multi-million dollar jersey-front sponsorship that ranks among the most groundbreaking such partnerships in Major League Soccer history.
The partnership will formally go into effect on Jan. 1, 2014, with the LifeVantage logo appearing on the Real Salt Lake jersey starting next season, Real Salt Lake's 10th in MLS.
"We're thrilled to partner with LifeVantage for our jersey-front sponsorship," Real Salt Lake President Bill Manning said. "LifeVantage is showing tremendous commitment to Real Salt Lake with this partnership.

LifeVantage Corporation (Nasdaq: LFVN), a company dedicated to helping people achieve healthy living through a combination of a compelling business opportunity and scientifically validated products, simultaneously announced that it has entered into the partnership, one of the largest of its kind in Real Salt Lake's nine-year history. LifeVantage and RSL – which celebrates its 10th season in 2014 – completed the deal in an incredible span of just 34 days.
"I could not be more excited about the partnership between our two organizations," said LifeVantage President and Chief Executive Officer Douglas C. Robinson.

Clitheroe Football Club has announced plans to redevelop part of its ground to a tune of £40,000 or face expulsion from the league.
Clitheroe FC has submitted an application to the borough council to replace the current changing rooms which are on their 'last legs' after being constructed in 1998.
The club, which was founded in 1877 as Clitheroe Central, also wants to build a new toilet block, due to league ground rules that they must be separate from the clubhouse, which they currently are not.
If the planning permission is not granted and the work is not completed before the start of the 2014/ 2015 season, The Blues could be kicked out of The Evo-Stik League First Division North.
A grant application to fund half of the £40,000 bill for the work at the Shaw Bridge Street ground has been submitted by the club to the Football Foundation.
The club has also announced its intention to set up a youth team for the start of next season.
Andrew Jackson, the club's spokesman and finance director, said: "The changing rooms that we have at the moment are on their last legs and are in need of replacing.
"We are keeping our fingers crossed the planning application is accepted as soon as possible so we can get on with improving the club.
"The toilets are the main issue because the league rules state that they need to be separate from the clubhouse.
"If the application isn't approved then there is a possibility that we could be kicked out of the league.
"We would like the work to be completed for the start of next season.
"The changing rooms are in a state at the moment and it would be great to redevelop them."

PASADENA, California - Al Pacino said Friday that he decided not to meet famed record producer and convicted killer Phil Spector before portraying him in an HBO movie - only to find he already had.
A friend showed Pacino a 20-year-old photo in which the actor was standing next to Spector. Pacino said he has no memory of the moment.
The movie, "Phil Spector," debuts in March. It focuses on the client-attorney relationship between Spector and Linda Kenney Baden, who represented him in his first trial after he was charged with the murder of actress Lana Clarkson. That ended in a mistrial, but Spector was convicted in a second trial and is now serving 19 years to life in prison.
Pacino wore a dizzying array of wigs in his portrayal of the eccentric Spector, whose "Wall of Sound" style was an integral part of pop music in the early 1960s. The actor said he decided not to meet Spector in prison because he'd be a different man than the one Pacino is portraying, who had not yet been convicted of a crime.
He watched video clips of Spector to help him with his portrayal.
"I didn't know anything about him, except that he was responsible for a lot of great music and this strange case," Pacino said.
Helen Mirren, who portrayed Baden, said she heard stories about Spector from her filmmaker husband, Taylor Hackford, who had hired Spector to provide music for his 1980 film, "The Idolmaker."
The Academy Award-winning Mirren was a last-minute substitute in her role. Bette Midler had begun filming as Baden, but had to withdraw because of a bad back. The film's executive producers are Barry Levinson and David Mamet.

So I'm back! Back at work, and after an eventful weekend that included Kayvmania (pictures and explanation to come) I'm excited to get back to blogging, reading and running! But most importantly, it's still Adoption April! This is the third post in my "Adoption April" series. Today I wanted to post about my thoughts about adoption and why I think it worked well for my family and me.
I know many of you have children of your own, or are at the stage in your life that you are having children or considering this for your family. Personally, I have never thought of myself actually having kids. I don't know why I think like this, but I think possibly that it has to do with the fact that my mom didn't 'have me' so I can't imagine myself being pregnant or actually having a child. I still haven't made a complete decision on whether or not I want to physically have children but I think that also will depend on when and who I marry and all that sort of thing. Go ahead, comment with what ever you think, but remember everyone is different.
I do think that adoption is such a powerful thing, and honestly, I will consider it when I am ready to have children. I think a lot of people think that adoption is only adopting drug babies, problem babies, or children that have gone through foster care, which isn't true. I was a completely healthy, albeit small, baby and was adopted into a loving home. My birth mom never contacted my parents to ask for me back, there were never any issues with her or my birth family. I know that could have been a possibility, but it hasn't happened yet… :)
When I was growing up, most people honestly couldn't believe I was adopted. I looked like my family and had the same attitude and mannerisms as my mother. Now, I am JUST. LIKE. MY. MOM. It was never a 'weird' thing to talk about with my friends either. Surprisingly enough, one of my best friends and now roommate is also adopted. We sometimes talk about it, and our feelings, but like me, she has known her entire life that she was adopted. She also harbors no bad feelings towards either sets of her parents. It's a fun bond that we share together and it's also nice to talk about our adoptions together.
I never, ever felt different than other kids. I never felt like I had a different relationship with my parents or different family setting. I think the openness that my parents had helped this, and I also never felt unwanted, or uncommitted too. I never felt abandoned or like my birth parents didn't love me or want me and that's why they 'gave me up'. They were mature enough to realize that they couldn't provide the best life for me and wanted to give me a chance at a better life. That is why they gave me up for adoption.
The best part about adoption is that I was openly welcomed into a family that I wasn't biologically part of. I NEVER felt unaccepted, or questioned if I was suppose to be there. Granted, I grew up with my family, grandparents and cousins that all loved me unconditionally and I think that always made me feel welcome and loved. I was a part of my family unconditionally. I think that has made the biggest difference for me.
I wasn't born into a family, I don't know my exact heritage, or who gave birth to me, but at the same time that doesn't make me less of a person, or question why I'm here or what I'm doing without my original family. I have always thought of my adoptive family as my one and only family. I would like to meet my birth parents one day but I honestly don't have the money to hire a private investigator and everything at the moment so I know it will come with time, but I am looking more into it. I understand that they might not even want to be in communication with me at the same time. I feel that the only important thing that I would need to possibly get from them is my families medical history for any genetic diseases that I might be exposed too. If they would like to communicate than that's also great. I will discuss more about them in my next post which is suppose to be all about them and my feelings and what I do know about them.
Sweet outfit! :)
Please feel free to email any questions you may have for the last post of adoption April to email@example.com
So a quick running update, bullet point style
- I was in a huge running rut
- I took over a week and a half off, only running twice and running two shorter runs
- I don't know how anyone can run in Hawaii, it's WAY too hot and the Humidity… killer!
- My toenail finally came off… BOO!
- BUT! underneath there was a new toenail! Yay! I don't look like a freak!
- I got back to running this weekend and realized that I'm out of shape so I am going to work really hard to get back into shape and nail the San Diego Marathon that is also only 41 short days away!
This week I'm going to work on getting my endurance back (shouldn't be too hard) and then I have a long run planned this weekend that will get me back nose to the grindstone.
As for the Hawaii post? I've decided to separate them up into two posts, one probably tomorrow and one on Friday :) It was amazing and wonderful and now I have a sweet tan. We did lots of cool stuff and I took a ton of pictures so I'll share some with you, don't worry. I also have some good reviews coming up, including a review of the Garmin. Hope everyone had a wonderful week without me.

Nuclear thermal propulsion was studied during the 1960s and early 1970s as a follow-up to the Apollo program, but the tests were canceled due to budgetary concerns.
First there was the Death Star petition, then there was the Starship Enterprise petition, and now there's a petition calling on the White House to build a nuclear rocket for fast interplanetary travel. Unlike the spaceships cited in those first two petitions, this one isn't just science fiction.
There was a time when the federal government tested nuclear thermal rocket technology for the flights that would follow the Apollo moonshots. Back in the 1960s, Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and its industrial partners set up Project NERVA, which stands for Nuclear Energy for Rocket Vehicle Application. The idea was to use a nuclear reactor to heat up liquid hydrogen propellant and blast a rocket out of Earth orbit. A trip to the moon would take just 24 hours. Going to Mars? You could make the voyage in just four months.
The initial plan called for NERVA technology to power the first manned mission to Mars in 1981. More than 20 rocket tests — conducted under names such as KIWI and Phoenix, Peewee-1 and Nuclear Furnace-1 — were carried out at a Nevada test range. But qualms about nuclear power, and about the multibillion-dollar development cost, led to Project NERVA's cancellation in 1973. Instead, the Nixon administration went with the space shuttle program.
Nuclear rocket propulsion briefly returned to the spotlight in 2003, when NASA considered developing a reactor-based system for deep-space missions such as the Jupiter Icy Moon Orbiter, as part of what became known as Project Prometheus. The initial missions would have used a small reactor to generate electricity for an ion drive, rather than implementing the NERVA concept. But like NERVA, Prometheus came to be perceived as too complex and risky. NASA canceled the program in 2005.

One concept called for a detachable module to be sent into space, then placed on a nuclear thermal rocket for a 24-hour trip to the moon.
Now Aaron VanAlstine, an Army major at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Seattle, is floating a petition through the White House's "We the People" program that urges the government to "rapidly develop and deploy a nuclear thermal rocket":
"Harness the full intellectual and industrial strength of our universities, national laboratories and private enterprise to rapidly develop and deploy a nuclear thermal rocket (NTR) adaptable to both manned and un-manned space missions. A NTR (which would only operate in outer space) will jump-start our manned space exploration program by reducing inner solar system flight times from months to weeks. This is not new technology; NTRs were tested in the 1960s (President Kennedy was a guest at one test). The physics and engineering are sound. In addition to inspiring young Americans to careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, a working NTR will herald a speedy and economical expansion of the human presence in the cosmos."
The petition needs 25,000 online supporters by Feb. 2 to trigger a White House response. So far it has ... three, including VanAlstine.
"I don't have anything to do with the aerospace industry," VanAlstine told NBC News over the weekend. "I'm just into space."
VanAlstine said he decided to try the petition drive after hearing about a "We the People" petition criticizing CNN talk-show host Piers Morgan. "I thought, well, what can I do to get something started?" he said.
"A lot of the scientists say the only way to get enough mass up and get the travel time down is to go with NTR," VanAlstine said. "I'm not an engineer or anything, but that's what all the smart guys are saying. ... It's never going to be like '2001' without going with the nuclear thermal rocket."
NASA already has a big rocket project on its hands: the effort to develop a new Orion exploration spaceship and a conventional heavy-lift rocket capable of sending humans beyond Earth orbit by the early 2020s, at a cost that could amount to $35 billion. It may turn out that taking on nuclear thermal propulsion right now is as unrealistic as building a Death Star or the Starship Enterprise. But VanAlstine is soldiering on — and dreaming of the day when spaceflight will be as quick and easy as it looked in "2001: A Space Odyssey."
"It's not me that's going to go into space," said VanAlstine, who turns 49 on Wednesday. "But maybe my nephew will be riding this."
What do you think? Feel free to weigh in on the prospects for space nuclear power in a comment below.
Update for 9 p.m. ET Jan. 9: It turns out that NASA is still studying the nuclear thermal rocket concept, using non-nuclear materials. Today, the space agency provided an update on the Nuclear Cryogenic Propulsion Stage project. The project's researchers are using Marshall Space Flight Center's Nuclear Thermal Rocket Element Environmental Simulator, or NTREES, to test various composite materials as potential fuel elements. Check out the full report.
Update for 3:30 p.m. ET April 2: The White House petition didn't receive the required 25,000 online signatures by the Feb. 2 deadline. "However, we didn't do too bad: 2,937 signed it," the campaign said on its Facebook page.
