Keeping the Faith
Safe space is sacred space

While I am no died-in-the-wool traditionalist, not by a long shot, I sometimes have a bit of a problem with the words we now use to describe the places we gather together as the church. They are called "worship centers" or "multi-purpose buildings" or "auditoriums." This is unfortunate. I much prefer the word used by our grandparents: Sanctuary.
Anywhere the church gathers, in a storefront, a gymnasium, an auditorium, or a 1,000-year-old cathedral, that place should be a sanctuary. It should be a safe place, a place where people are welcomed into a better way to live and made to feel at home.
This welcome is far more substantial than saying "hello," shaking hands, or sharing coffee and doughnuts in the fellowship hall -- another questionable description of a church building. Maybe English Bible translator and martyr William Tyndale got closer to the mark when with his "plowboy" English he said that Christians should have a "harborous disposition." To create secure harbors, a place for others to come in from the storm to be warm, safe, and healthy is a high and worthy calling.
I once participated in a retreat where several young people -- in their 20s and early 30s -- gave their unbridled, unedited assessments of the church. At times, their words were immature and selfish. At other times their words were blisteringly accurate. They were brutally dead on, and gave everyone in the room pause.
One young lady who spoke was Charis. Charis was a 30-year-old wife and mother of two who had spent her three decades in the church. Her father was a seminary professor, and Charis herself holds a master's degree in biblical studies. She was no cynical, jaded outsider. She has been a determined follower of Jesus most of her life.
At one point in her talk she said through her tears, "I am afraid of the church and what it will do to my children, what it is doing to me. I am tired of the church saying all the right things, but not practicing them. It is difficult for me to come into the churches we have created at this point in history and believe any of it really matters."
Charis did not stop there. Her last remark was a hopeful prayer. She said, "I don't want church. But I do want love, transformation, and community." Love. Transformation. Community. Isn't this, at least in part, what the church should be about?
Comfort, mercy, communion with God, entrance into the joyful reign of heaven, open arms, and open hearts. These should be the natural overflow and outcome of life together with Jesus, as natural as flowers blooming in the spring when the rain falls and the sun shines.
We have spent too much collective time and energy focusing on the drivel, rather than on loving people. We fight and bleed over worship styles, which version of the Bible is the actually inspired one, and drawing up rules and restrictions for who can come to the Lord's Table and/or who can or cannot speak in a pulpit.
We build all this structure and all these regulations on who is allowed in and who should be excluded, creating standards so impossibly high, Jesus Christ Himself couldn't get in the door. We have endorsed and supported legalistic minutia while neglecting the weightier issues of love, mercy, and justice.
And meanwhile, people who are lonely, who are dying on the inside, who have had the absolute life beat out of them, who are racked by addiction and loss, who are burdened so low by the cares of this world they cannot lift their heads, will not even look in the church's direction. They feel so badly already, and they cannot imagine that the church could somehow relieve or support them.
We must recognize these mercy-killing behaviors for what they are, name them, and by God's grace let Christ remove them. For when the church becomes a place of welcome -- a sanctuary -- it becomes safe space, and safe space is sacred space.

267 mph.
Ever since the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport hit the road, the title of fastest car in the world went with it. But now it appears that a certain Swedish supercar may have finally eclipsed that mark.
With six production records under its belt, including the 0-186-0 mph time of 21.9 seconds, the Koenigsegg Agera R is already considered the biggest threat to the Veyron Super Sport's title and now that Koenigsegg has officially released the new Agera R, word is leaking that the car is capable of hitting 273 mph, six mph faster than the mighty Bugatti.
The number has yet to be verified, but if the Agera R is capable of breaking the 270-barrier, then we're going to have a pretty interesting battle for fastest car supremacy on our hands.
The world is waiting for your figures, Koenigsegg. Let it be known that the 2013 Agera R can hit a top speed of 273 mph and you can claim the title of fastest car in the world. And in doing so, you better expect a reply from Bugatti very, very soon.

American flags dumped in the mud, tires discarded in a pit: Those are some of the problems the Maryland Department of Veteran's Affairsis investigating at the Cheltenham Maryland Veterans Cemetery in Prince George's County, reports WUSA9.
The cemetery, where some 20,000 veterans are said to be buried, is under scrutiny after workers disturbed at least 56 graves when a tractor got stuck in the mud, the TV station says. Photos of the incident circulated on social media and sparked outrage.
This week the TV station shot footage of tires and plastic waste dumped in open pits in a maintenance area at the cemetery. A trailer and landscaping equipment appeared to be abandoned in the woods. A small American flag was found in the mud by a waste pit.
State Veteran's Affairs spokesperson Dana Hendrickson told the TV station that a contractor working on improvements to the cemetery was recently terminated. She blamed the problems on the transition.

No iPad for Christmas? Don't feel bad
One observer gives his reasons for not wanting one yet.
One analyst predicts Apple (AAPL) will sell 6 million this quarter -- about half of them in the U.S. "It's driving the company toward what will probably be yet another blowout Christmas period," Arends writes.
But he says he doesn't want one because it will be cheaper next year. A new one is expected in April, and it's going to be better.
He also doesn't like Apple's margins. Sure, they're great for stockholders but not for shoppers. Last Christmas, Apple grabbed gross margins of 41%. "Me, I don't want to support someone else's 60% markups with my own dollars," he writes. Post continues after video:
He also notes that competitors will finally have tablets out next year that may offer a threat to the iPad. Right now, the only decent tablet out there is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, he says. "When these companies duke it out for market share, you know you'll be able to get a deal. So why would I buy now?"
The iPad doesn't support Flash, so its users can't see many video clips out there on the Web, Arends writes.
The rest of his reasons are a little thin. The cheapest iPad isn't worth it, he says, but the higher-priced ones are too expensive. The games are too addictive. It's a time suck. It'll get boring.
If I had the money, I'd probably be leaning toward an 11-inch MacBook Air instead of an iPad, especially with the Mac App Store scheduled to launch in January.

In the Lebanese kitchen, chick peas and lentils are the King and Queen of legumes; you will find hundreds of dishes using these two.
I grew up snacking on grilled chickpeas or kdaameh; even now, if you browse inside a Middle-Eastern market, you will find grilled chickpeas sold in pound bags next to almonds, pistachios and dried fruits, andcandied grilledchick peas coated in colored pastel sugar.
However, unlike, say, Indians or even Italians or Southern French or Persians, we do not use chickpea flour. There are a few things I have been wanting to make, like the French socca or the Italian farinata or the Indian boondhi laddoo.
Where does one find chickpea flour? In Indian markets, definitely. Online, in health food stores, in Middle-Eastern markets.
Question? Do these taste like chickpeas? NO.
You cannot detect the flavor of chickpeas in these cookies. They are sweet (not too sweet), rustic and moist and chewy with a faint taste of butterscotch. These cookies are full of fiber from the combined benefits of oats and chickpea flour.
Interested in the nutritional value of chickpeas? Click here.
- 3 cups of oatmeal (organic if possible)
- 1 cup of chickpea flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt, baking powder and baking soda
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1 Large egg
- 1/3 cup of date molasses (can substitute grape or carob or apple)
- 2/3 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 stick of unsalted butter (can substitute oil)
- 3 tablespoons of tahini
- 1 cup of dark chocolate, chopped in small chunks (or chips) (4 ounces of chocolate or 124 g.)
NOTE: Instead of chocolate, these cookies would be wonderful with chopped raisins or dates or dried apricots.
- Place 2 cups of oatmeal in the bowl of a food processor. Process until it looks like flour. Add the chickpea flour and pulse to combine. Add the salt, baking powder, baking soda and cardamom and process to combine well. Transfer to a bowl and add the remaining cup of oatmeal and mix with a spoon to combine. Place the chocolate on a cutting board and cut into chunks with a sharp knife. Set aside.
- Place the stick of butter and the brown sugar, date molasses in the bowl of the food processor; process to combine and until it looks like a rich caramel. Add the egg, tahini, vanilla and mix until the mixture is creamy; add the banana, flour mixture and pulse to combine and finally add the chocolate chunks in a few pulses. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover and refrigerate for on hour or longer.
- Place parchment paper on baking sheets and mounds of cookie dough formed with a cookie dough scooper. Preheat the oven to 350F (180 C) and bake for 15 minutes or until the cookies are puffed up but still very soft; check the underside; if it is browned, remove them from the oven. Cool a few minutes and serve.
NOTE: These cookies are moist (from the molasses and brown sugar); however, the next day they are still chewy but begin to lose their moistness; so the best way is to bake them as needed and keep a few balls of dough in a ziploc bag in the freezer.

Jan Mucha, Magaye Gueye, Apostolos Vellios, Francisco Junior, Shane Duffy and Bryan Oviedo all get run-outs at the Leigh Sports Village (7pm kick-off).

House defeats bill to protect tall or fat people
By Robert Gehrke
The Salt Lake TribuneFirst published Mar 05 2013 11:23AM
A bill that would prohibit employers from discriminating against workers based on their height or weight was met with skepticism Tuesday by a House committee that worried about the consequences of creating a new protected class in Utah law.
Rep. Johnny Anderson, R-Taylorsville, worried about what accommodations employers would have to make under HB132 for a worker who is very tall, heavy or short.
And Rep. Jacob Anderegg, R-Lehi, said that there are limits to what the state can do.
"If bullying is happening, that's just dead wrong," Anderegg said. "I don't think good public policy can accomplish all things for all people all the time."
But Rep. Larry Wiley, D-West Valley City, said that people feel that too many employers still believe it is acceptable to subtly discriminate based on height or weight, and it makes sense for the state to offer protection to them.
"You're not living the lives these folks are living," Wiley said, "going through the trials and tribulations of having to gain or maintain employment."
Rebecca Batty told the committee that she has been the victim of discrimination because she is heavy, but had no recourse because the Utah Labor Commission doesn't offer any workplace protections to people based on weight.
"That puts a label on me that says: 'It's OK. I'm fat and anyone can treat me however they want to treat me,' " she said. "It's a form of bullying."
Batty said the treatment was so bad at one workplace that she wanted to jump in front of a train that ran outside her office.
The committee ultimately voted 10-4 against advancing the bill to the full House for a vote, meaning it is likely dead for the session.

SOUTH BEND, IN (WKZO) -- A new study by the University of Notre Dame, Central Michigan University and The Nature Conservancy has found Asian carp DNA is not widespread in the Great Lakes.
Lead author Christopher Jerde at Notre Dame says they did extensive sampling of the water in southern Lake Michigan along with Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. DNA has been found in Lake Erie, but Jerde says it's likely from live fish, which he says debunks recent reports suggesting birds and boats are spreading the material.

No pattern. No rules. A custom quilt made with Michael Miller Cotton Couture solids : mint, black, white. The dot is Michael Miller Petit Point in Onyx, which is sadly, becoming a chore to find. These fabrics are simply scrumptious, they piece and quilt just like butter. If you haven't used them..I suggest you give it a shot. I promise it'll be worth it. As always, thanks for stopping by!

American Made Brand: Blog Tour and Giveaway
Have you heard about AMB fabrics? It's a new line by Clothworks, which produces quality, solid quilting weight fabrics here in the U.S.A. The cotton is grown in American soil and milled right here, a philosophy I can vibe with. You can read more about the AMB story HERE and see all 50 great colors HERE!
I am incredibly honored and thrilled to have been selected by American Made Brand {AMB} to represent my home state of Michigan in their virtual blog tour of each of the United States, it's a road trip! No gas required. This challenge asked each contributor to design a license plate for their state, with the idea that each block will be incorporated into a quilt, it's the ultimate national quilting bee.
My License Plate Block:
Far from perfect, and not quite as I first drafted, but I'm super pleased with it. The letters are paper pieced using Carol Doak's 300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks book, and yes, I tediously reduced the patterns to 1 inch, leaving 1/4" seam allowance around the perimeter for sewing the pieces together. I'm just hoping nobody looks at the back of this block ;) For the state, I fused Heat and Bond to the back of the fabric, traced the state on the paper side, used really sharp snips to cut around it, then fused it to the background fabric with a steamy iron. To finish the state, I took a single strand of embroidery floss and made tiny blanket stitches around the edges. The block is 6.5" x 12.5" So if you're a glutton for tiny piecing punishment, give it a shot.
My State, Michigan:
Michigan is the Great Lakes State, it's the Mitten State, it's home to Motor City, the birthplace of Gibson Guitars, Bell's Beer, the Kalamazoo Promise and Motown music. Michigan is home the largest freshwater coast in the world, which lends well to the fruit and wine producing industries. If you haven't traveled to Michigan, I recommend you do so. Please enjoy some of my favorite Instagram photos depicting some of the beauty of Northern Michigan. You can find me on Instagram at @cbhandmade

Where the Platte River meets Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear National Park

The self-proclaimed Potato Capital of the World offers more than just taters: see traditional Sioux teepees, Hell's Half Acre, and a trove of glass
Deep agricultural roots aren't all that define the self-proclaimed Potato Capital of the World, which abounds in recreation options and friendly shops rich with small-town charm. Area code is 208.
- The world's largest potato crisp, which measures 25 inches across, sits encased in glass, like a precious jewel, at the Idaho Potato Museum amid exhibits on the state's most famous crop. Show your AAA card to get 50 cents off the $3 admission fee. 785-2517, idahopotatomuseum.com [3].
- Traditional Sioux tepees, painstakingly stitched by Kimberley Moore-Huffaker at Blackfoot Canvas Company, stand among zippered chaps, cowboy bedrolls, and other rugged Western gear turned out at this family-run workshop. 785-1303, blackfootcanvas.com [4].
- Martha's Girl, a 17-foot-tall fiberglass statue, looms over the road outside Martha's Cafe wearing a more modest outfit than the bikini she modeled when she marked the entrance of a nearby gas station and was known to locals as the Uniroyal Gal. 785-4199.
- Millions of vintage glass beads, kaleidoscopic in their colors, some barely bigger than grains of sand, fill shelves and drawers at Wilma Mangum's Beader's Paradise, an aptly named trove that could occupy a treasure hunter for hours, even days. 604-1841.
- Hell's Half Acre, an ancient lava plain five miles north of the city, is an arresting, stark landscape where sagebrush and juniper spring from the unforgiving rock, and coyotes and pronghorn can be seen wandering like interlopers from another world. 523-1012, visitidaho.org [5].

I've talked about the benefits of supersets but sometimes we need a fresh kick in the pants to challenge ourselves (or just a fresh workout). Sure, supersets can overload your muscles, save time and help break us out plateaus. But as with anything, supersets (two exercises back to back without rest) can become boring and routine if repeated relentlessly. That's why a little creativity goes a long way. (In case you didn't know, you can be creative with your workouts. They can be fun!) {Read More…}
Full-Body Workouts for Gaining Muscle and Losing Fat
Training each muscle using a split routine (in addition to a clean diet) provides highly satisfying results, especially if you're into crazy muscle definition and hypertrophy. It's also a sweet deal if you're into hours of hammering your shoulders, legs, or back (or whatever muscle) with specific (and sometimes isolated) movements. But a big drawback of using a split routine is the time involved; spending six hours a week on hypertrophy alone simply isn't feasible for many. If you're trying {Read More…}
Workout Swap #2: High-Intensity Weights Routine
I love mixing up my weight training routine and rarely ever do the same exact thing twice. I make small tweaks, such as the grip, the amount of weight, or the order of the exercises, and I constantly change up the exercises themselves. I also mix it up by using techniques such as negatives, supersets, and drop sets. I've seen incredible results from weight training – not only do I feel strong and energetic, but I've seen great muscle definition {Read More…}
30 Minutes is All You Need to Lift Weights
A friend recently decided to get back into weight lifting after facing the major time crunch of having a toddler, a teenager, and a job. She wanted very much to get back into weights and regain that cut look, but time seemed like an insurmountable obstacle. Lack of time has got to be the number one reason many people get out of the weight lifting groove or never venture in despite the many benefits. My friend drives past the gym {Read More…}

St. Martin's Paperbacks
"Puts the reader in the front seat of heart-pounding action scenes…A solid adrenaline rush from start to finish." —Library Journal (starred review)
"A compelling mix of espionage, counterterrorism thriller, and kick-butt urban noir [at] a breakneck, page-turning pace."—Booklist
"Lt. Cdr. David Trevellyan continues to operate on U.S. soil in Grant's testosterone-fueled second adventure…[He] is macho enough and deadly enough to satisfy the most jaded thriller fan."—Publishers Weekly
"A James Bond-like British intelligence agent…Trevellyan is a great character; while larger than life, his observations of human nature make him sympathetic and intriguing."—RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
"Grant writes thrillers like a man who has lived it, his knowledge of spycraft and the ins and outs of what is involved with an operation in this grey world of espionage strikes a little too true….Andrew Grant is a author on the rise and he and Trevellyan look to be ready for a long stay."—Crimespree Magazine
"Andrew Grant's debut novel reads like it was written by an old pro with new things to say. Even is a bit of LeCarre and Ian Fleming, but with more grit and a sharper edge. Wonderful sardonic wit and crackling dialogue."—Nelson DeMille
"In Even, Andrew Grant introduces British naval intelligence officer David Trevellyan, a man born to fight and trained to win, locked in a suspenseful contest with terrifying adversaries. An excellent thriller that feels like breaking news."—Thomas Perry
"The first paragraph is a whopper. . .the last one made me gasp. With surprise. With delight. David Trevellyan is by turns witty and wicked. Fans of 007 will be shaken and stirred."—Sandra Brown

"Andrew Grant storms onto the scene with a thriller that is pure entertainment. He has a relentless writing style that is grippingly addictive and heralds a remarkable talent in the making. I couldn't put it down."—Vince Flynn
"Move over Jason Bourne. British Marine David Trevellyan can outwit, outmaneuver and overpower the best of them in this rocket-ride of a thriller. I always like a man who knows how to get even."—Lisa Gardner

Skates make their way across ice covered with a light snow at Brenton Skating Plaza in downtown Des Moines, Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012. Thursday in Lincoln is the 297th in a row without measurable snow. The former record was 295 snow-free days in 2004. (AP Photo/Barbara Rodriguez)
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — No snow boots needed in Milwaukee. Chicago commuters aren't dodging knee-deep snow drifts frozen along city sidewalks. And children in Des Moines are settling for ice shavings dumped from a Zamboni.
Many cities in the Midwest haven't seen any decent snow this season — and some are even setting records for the number of days without it, in part because last winter was so mild and any precipitation that does fall gets soaked into the drought-parched land.
On Thursday, Des Moines matched a record set in 1889 when it hit its 277th consecutive day without measurable snowfall, according to the National Weather Service. Iowa's capital city is expecting clear skies Friday.
That may not sit well with local youngsters, according to ice skating rink manager Dave Roquet. He said that after he emptied the accumulated ice from his Zamboni recently in downtown Des Moines, a group of children ran straight for the man-made snow.
"The kids just went crazy for it," he laughed. "They saw it, and I think they hadn't seen snow in so long. They just started throwing snowballs at each other."
In Nebraska, Omaha recorded its 285th consecutive snowless day Wednesday — breaking its previous record set in 2006 — and Lincoln extended its new record on Thursday to 297 days without measureable snow. Lincoln's former record was 295 snow-free days in 2004.
Chicago and Milwaukee are just days away from breaking their records. Other areas also are either setting or close to records, while some cities are far off their usual snowfall totals.
But fear not, white Christmas dreamers: Snow is coming, at least for some people. Forecasters are calling for snow in parts of Nebraska and Iowa starting Saturday night and into Sunday, and possibly in Chicago the next day.
Florida-native Patricia Dryden admits she doesn't mind the whiteless weather at her home in suburban Des Moines.
"Two years ago there was a snowstorm," she said. "Now it's around 60 degrees. Selfishly, I'm happy."
National Weather Service program manager Jim Keeney said the country's drought conditions this year are to blame for snow not sticking to the ground.
"At this point it doesn't matter what falls from the sky, snow or rain," he said. "To get precipitation would be beneficial for a chunk of the country."
He also noted some cities that have seen snow are well below their averages this time of year.
Minneapolis usually has about 11 inches of snow on the ground by early December — but the measurement stands at less than an inch right now. Green Bay, Wis., is more than four inches off its normal snowfall.
Data shows Chicago will be just two days away Friday from breaking its 1994 record of 280 days without measurable snow. Milwaukee also will be two days away from breaking its 1999 record of 279 consecutive days without measurable snow, though there is a slight chance for snow Friday night.
Keeney said just a small portion of the country around Kentucky and Tennessee is expected to have above normal precipitation in the months ahead.
"We might all just expect more of the same," he said.

This app will offer important info for new pet owners. You will learn about hamster cages, hamster feeding, hamster breeds and everything you need to know about caring for your new hamster pet."
Extras: Includes a fun puzzle game! Try and piece the picture back together. How fast can YOU finish it?!
Hamsters belong to the rodent family. What do we know of rodents? Yes, mice and rats … the dirty and disease-spreading creatures are the first thoughts that come in mind. But then there's the guinea pig, chinchillas, beavers, porcupines and squirrels to name a few and so we look at rodents differently and they become cute and adorable mammals suitable as pets.
Hamsters in fact are the most popular tiny pets in the world. There are many types of hamster breeds. The most common are the Syrian hamsters, the Dwarf hamsters and the Chinese hamsters. The most popular type of hamster that people like to keep for pets are the Dwarf hamsters.
Hamsters are actually very clean animals and a very easy pet to take care of. They need a large house with a dry and clean bed and enough space to run around and exercise or else they run a high risk of getting paralyzed. Hamsters can eat all kinds of foods, vegetables, seeds, worms and ready-made store-bought mixes but the food needs to be fresh and given to him at proper feeding schedules. Hamsters have very sharp teeth so they will need special handling until they are tame.
Caring for hamsters is another special kind of activity. This app will be a guide to help you get started with your new pet as you will learn:
1) To make housing for your new hamster
2) About hamster bites and gnawing
3) How to exercise your hamster
4) How to feed your hamster
5) About the life span of your hamster
Hamsters only live a short life, about 1 to 3 ½ years, which is real heartbreaking especially for children once they grow very attached to them. But, hamsters can be very good pets that can teach children about responsibility and the important things in life.

Stuffed Animal Sleepover
Published on Monday, June 25, 2012 - 9:41am
Southwest Neighborhood Library hosted its very first Stuffed Animal Sleepover last Wednesday night!
Children brought in stuffed animals throughout the day on Wednesday and after pajama story time, everyone who was there chipped in to make name tags and decorate a beautiful blanket for our animal friends to sleep under. We sang them a lullaby, tucked them in and put them to bed!
But after all the people left, that's when the real fun began.
The stuffed animals snuck out of bed and took over the children's room.
They played flannel board guessing games (the mouse was hiding in the green house!)
Everyone played on the computer and did arts and crafts.
Then there was a great big game of hide and go seek.
Finally, the stuffed animals read one last picture book together and went back to bed, where they fell asleep right away, exhausted from all the awesome activities.
When their owners came to pick them up the next morning, the animals were super excited to see them. Sleeping over at the library is a lot of fun, but it sure is tiring!
Each animal got their very own scrapbook, filled with pictures from the night, to share with their owner and they all went home again, excited for the next stuffed animal sleepover.
