House MD was one of television shows that gave me reason to love medicine. The cases were so puzzling that as an audience we were compelled to follow step by step. To figure out the disease, we focused on the symptoms. "Everybody lies, but symptoms never lie." That took me to the edge of my seat.
Glad to see that after a long hiatus from watching the show, the feel of House is still there. The beginning had a familiar sense of tying up the title to the show. It was catchy and familiar.
However, it wasn't a superb episode. There definitely was something missing.
This week's puzzle involved a high school student named Abby, who, after bleeding to her mouth during a trip to the planetarium, landed at Princeton-Plaisboro Hospital. After several attempts of diagnosing, and causing her even more symptoms such as valvular dissection during a transesophageal echocardiogram, and not to mention her continuous hallucinations, House and his team were left with the last resort-Cognitive Pattern Recognition Program. Wait, House forced that. The resident Neurologist fought him all the way citing they're doctors, not mind readers. To be honest, the medical jargon was a bit too fast and the storyline was kind of messily played out. The discussion of the symptoms weren't easy to follow especially for those not in the medical field. Now back to the CPRP, does that really work? It is amazing and all that but I thought it was more fictional than medical. Is America really that advanced to be able to capture in video what a person is thinking of? The diagnostic tool this week is a clear attempt to push the boundaries of what we hold Diagnostic medicine to be. I thought it was really interesting from the previews and all but it was a blow that the case was another "don't have sex it will give you autoimmune disorder." It just felt like a rerun of an episode from season 3 back when fathers have sex with their children. Only this time, it was her boyfriend's father. Oh wait its just the same thing. Tsk tsk.
Not to mention, House seems to be off. Hugh Laurie is an extremely talented actor however as one author puts it, he has managed to deteriorate from"a superb but ill tempered Doctor into how mean can we make this man without losing viewers"! Don't get me wrong, it still has the old feel of House trying to be manipulative and a brown noser just like how he was with Taub and Wilson. But he seemed to have mellowed down, which makes the character, less of what we loved about him.
Sadly I didn't find enough comedic touch this week to amuse me as I'm sure Wilson and Taub's storyline with House was meant to do. I loved Wilson's relationship with House but the chemistry is just becoming a bit boring. I'm glad he gets more screen time but I'm searching for the element that made me laugh out loud seasons back. The text exchange between Taub's wife and Taub/House however, almost did bring a smirk to my face.
"She was screaming she was being sucked into a blackhole so we should look for a tumor in her anus."
Bring back facetious sarcasm! Bring back compelling storylines! Bring back the House that made me want to become a physician!
Give me a reason to be sucked back in.

The Chakra Test
Their result for The Chakra Test ...
The Sensuous One
You have scored 100% Desire - Your dominant Chakra is the "Sacral (Spleen) or Orange Chakra"
The "Sacral (Spleen) or Orange Chakra" is where energy for one's sexuality and feelings originates from. It is located at the spleen (and genitals). This is the chakra which is most developed in you at this time.
The Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. When it is open your feelings flow freely, and are expressed without you being over-emotional. You are open to intimacy and you can be passionate and lively. You have no problems dealing with your sexuality.
Depending on your percentage score, there is always more room for development. When this chakra is under-active you may become stiff and unemotional. You may even develop a poker-like face, as a defence mechanism, to stop others from knowing what you are feeling. If the chakra becomes over-active, you may become overly, emotionally attached to people and sexually active.
What is most important is to find balance amongst all 7 chakras. Have a look at what percentages you scored on the others and work to increase their power and balance with each other.
Root Chakra: 65% Passion, Sacral(Spleen) Chakra: 100% Desire, Solar Plexus (Navel) Chakra: 100% Purpose, Heart Chakra: 100% Balance, Throat Chakra: 100% Expression, Third Eye Chakra: 100% Imagination and Crown Chakra: 100% Spirituality!
"Sacral Chakra" Key Words: Feelings, Emotions, Intimacy, Procreation, Polarity, Sensuality, Confidence, Sociability, Freedom, Movement
"Sacral Chakra"Attributes: Color - Orange: Sense - Taste: Element - Water: Seat - Creativity
If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback!

Well Marriage Center, Ph.D, Psy.D., LMFT, LPC, LCSW
Marriage Counseling Specialists
3917 Old Lee Hwy #11D, Fairfax, Virginia 22030
Family therapy is at the heart of Well Marriage Center. We specialize in helping family's understand their histories and how each of them have been shaped and formed. We empower families to open communication, build trust, regain a sense of friendship and fun, and support each other in our own hopes and aspirations. Healthy families provide an important foundation for healthy living.
John Raymond, MA, MS, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
129 Park St. NE Suite C., Vienna, Virginia 22180
Families have as many dynamics as there are members. Each family has its own system to handle life's challenges. Sometimes, some of these systems do not operate effectively. The goal of family therapy is to help families understand the systems used, how they are not helping, and learn new skills to better equip the family to provide a safe and secure home for all to thrive
Athena Staik, Ph.D., LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
12866 Harbor Drive, Woodbridge, Virginia 22192
Free and open expression of thoughts and feelings is a hallmark of healthy family relationships. When members of a family feel safe to be themselves and express their thoughts and upsetting feelings, relationships flourish. Reactivity is common in family relationships. It simply says that your brain has activated your body's fight-flee-or-freeze system. A relational approach to healing family relationships focuses on forming quality connections in which each member feels they can express themselves and give from a place of love rather than fear, and non judgment allows each to grow in a supportive context.
Christina Schultz, MA
Resident in Counseling, Supervised by Thomas Lamp, LPC
New Directions Counseling, 150 S. Washington St Suite 303, Falls Church, VA, Falls Church, Virginia 22046
I approach families from a Family Systems and Structural Family perspectives, in that I view differentiation and adaptable yet present boundaries among family members and extended family members as a healthy family approach. I collaborate with the client family, including all members, to identify goals and process strengths and observed issues. I view the couple subsystem as the priority on the family hierarchy, the parent and/or caregiving subsystem as second, and child or sibling subsystem as third. I assess and evaluate internal, external, and multi-generational triangle, patterns, alignments, and rules which impact the client family.
Christiana Shao, M.S., M.A., LGPC, NCC
Resident in Counseling
300 N Washington St #102, Falls Church, Virginia 22046
My approach to family therapy is to help each family member identify and address their contribution to the family dynamic. We will also work to restructure the family system to acheive unity and wholeness. Through the use of genograms and other techniques, we will resolve familg of origin issues that may be contributing to family' s concerns. Identifying the family's strength and each family member's contribution to the strengthening of the family will be a major focus so as to help family rebuild.

Recording information: Daniel Smith's Home; New Jerusalem Rec Room, Clarksboro, NJ.
Multi-instrumentalist Sufjan Stevens made a couple of records that slipped under the radar before his third, the astoundingly lush post-rock concept album GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN, gained him critical attention and cult status. Seemingly bent on not repeating himself, Stevens scales down MICHIGAN's grandeur to a minimalist palette for SEVEN SWANS. Where the previous album was instrumentally comparable to Tortoise or Stereolab, SEVEN SWANS is practically lo-fi, based around simply strummed acoustic guitars, banjo, organ, and hushed vocals. It's more akin to laconic Americana troubadours like Will Oldham and Iron & Wine, though no amount of sonic slimming-down can disguise Stevens's knack for crafty arrangements and accessibly quirky songs. Like-minded spirit Daniel Smith of the Danielson Family produced, and other Family members provide accompaniment that's considerably more structured than their own free-wheeling recordings.

Offering Remotely Triggered, Real-Time Experiments in Electrochemistry for Distance Learners
Saxena, Sachin; Satsangee, Soami P.
Journal of Chemical Education, v91 n3 p368-373 Mar 2014
Remote access to real experiments is crucial for distance learners to experience the sciences. The exploitation of technology for this purpose is advantageous in global teaching and in exchange of ideas on a single front irrespective of distance barriers. Implementation of the distance method leads to cost-effective integrated-e-learning where students at a remote location only need PCs and the Internet to perform the experiment. A remote electrochemical experiment is presented. The advantages of the remote electrochemistry laboratory for carrying out real-time experiments are discussed, and our experiences in setting up the laboratory are described. We explain how to perform the remote electrochemical experiments on the network with the main purpose of strengthening teaching in chemical sciences.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Technology stocks recovered ground from earlier losses by Friday afternoon, when the sector benefitted from an upturn in the broader market.
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.17% was up 0.6% to 2,808. The Morgan Stanley High-Tech Index MSH, +0.20% was flat after losing nearly 1% earlier, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -0.04% was up 0.8%. The Dow was up 40 points by late afternoon.
digits: Nokia Cozies Up to Microsoft
Nokia said it will establish a strategic partnership with Microsoft, adopting the U.S. software giant's Windows Phone as its main smartphone platform. Can the relationship revive Nokia, which has been quickly losing share in the handset market?
The gains did not help online travel firm Expedia Inc. EXPE, -0.39% which slid almost 17% after the company reported lower-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings. The decline sent the stock to its lowest level in six months.
At least four brokers downgraded Expedia to hold after the results, which were reported Thursday afternoon. Justin Post of Bank of America/Merrill Lynch cited a slowdown in growth of TripAdvisor and weakness in the hotel market.
"Management is taking the right long-term approach by investing, but we don't expect street to re-value the stock as a double-digit grower anytime soon," Post wrote in a note to clients Friday.
Microsoft MSFT, +0.00% was down about 0.8% to $27.28. The software giant was expected to benefit from a newly announced partnership with cell-phone giant Nokia, which plans to build smartphones for the Windows Phone 7 platform. Nokia NOK, -0.19% announced the deal Friday. Read full report on Nokia's partnership with Microsoft.
Several analysts said the move was a good one for Nokia, but no new devices are likely for a couple more years, during which time Windows Phone 7 will be competing with bigger rivals such as Android from Google GOOG, -0.32% and iOS from Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.10%
Shares of Rackspace Hosting Inc. RAX, +0.99% gained nearly 8% after the company posted better-than-expected results for the fourth quarter.
Gainers late Friday were led by Apple, Amazon.com AMZN, -0.82% , Yahoo YHOO, +0.31% and Nvidia NVDA, +0.97%

Shane Warne has been punished for disputing an umpire's decision during an English county championship match in a move that has pushed the Australia leg-spin great nearer a match suspension.
Warne, the captain of Hampshire, has been given six penalty points under the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) discipline code for showing serious dissent at an umpire's decision and using offensive language.
The 37-year-old's code violation took place during the second day of Hampshire's First Division match away to Kent at Canterbury last Thursday.
Warne initially stood his ground after being given out leg before by umpire Tim Robinson off the bowling of Ryan McLaren.
He looked back angrily at the middle when he did at last begin to walk off the field and, when he reached the pavilion, made his feelings known in unsavoury fashion within earshot of spectators.
Warne, Test cricket's leading wicket-taker with 708 from 145 matches, retired completely from international cricket following Australia's 5-0 Ashes thrashing of England in January. But he has two seasons left on his contract with Hampshire.

How do we engage our congregations in Advent? How do we get people reading their Bibles? In response to these questions, my church (Oakdale Park CRC) created this Advent community reading plan.
Disciple-making isn't easy or comfortable. And that's a good thing. When it isn't comfortable, it breaks us. When it isn't easy, it makes us rely more on the strength of Jesus and power of the Holy Spirit.
Looking for free devotional resources to challenge your mind and inspire your heart? Check out these devotions by CRC authors in the new CRC Digital Library.
Why might gratitude be the best measure of our spirituality? Perhaps because it demonstrates that we have been paying attention to the gifts we've received. So, what are you thankful for?
It's easy to see my 2-year-old granddaughter learning things about church each week, but adults are developing as well. Every week I'm shaping my faith language through the things I see and hear.
We are living in a cultural season in which a kind of "stand alone authenticity" is celebrated and encouraged everywhere. It's a false idol that needs to be discerned, named and rejected.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It's time for you to know that whatever you are going in through is simply under the builders mind. He is building His own Church (Mathew 16:17-18). When you are built in Him, nothing shall take you away. As much as others may judge you according to...

As I hear my friends reflect on the election's outcome, I am hearing a loss for words about how to talk about this with children. It is in response to what I am hearing that I offer this devotion for parents.
In my 62 years as a member of the CRC, I've noticed that we tend to describe people either in terms of the opinions they hold or the stories they share. And these two are very different.
Rather than advising flashier technology or younger staff, Growing Young helps churches address some cross-cultural barriers that will produce deeper, more lasting change in their engagement with today's youth.
When I asked my class of nearly 30 students to pick their #1 line from the Confessions of Augustine, there was very little duplication. This list of their 'top lines' may encourage you to revisit this classic spiritual autobiography.
How might remembering that each person has a dream—some broken, some whole—change the ways we care for each other on the street corner, at the grocery store, in our congregations and in our neighborhood?
The artist Prince will be remembered for a long time. He had an impressive property, a studio, and countless records to spark people's memory of him. But what about me? Will anyone remember me?
When a congregation repents well, its culture will lean towards humility, teachability, hospitality, and a healthy vulnerability that shares how the Lord's power is made perfect in its weakness.
We've all heard someone say, "My faith story is boring. I grew up in a Christian family. I went to Christian schools...And that's about all there is to tell." Well, let's get one thing straight right now: There is no such thing as a "boring" faith story.
When is the last time you and other leaders in your church formally reflected on this question, "Where does Jesus live in our church?"
I can remember even now the sense of awe and gratefulness I would feel as I, a child, watched from a dark corner while the adults in my life made themselves vulnerable before God and each other.
Westwood CRC is excited to host the "4 Chair Discipling Seminar" in Kalamazoo on November 5. The training helps a church with an overall strategy for building a ministry that multiplies disciples.
The toolkit is divided into sections on becoming a storytelling church, shaping our stories, and sharing our stories in many different facets of your church's ministry.
At this fork, I find myself praying prayers like these: "Lord, the news cycle has helped me to see the great pit of fear that lives inside me. I feel paralyzed and confused. Pierce my fear with the power of your Spirit..."
To celebrate 20 years of women's ordination in the CRC, First CRC of Toronto has prepared a resource package for churches in Classis Toronto and across the CRC to commemorate this milestone.
As the US election date draws nearer—a date being closely watched on both sides of our border—my prayer is that the Christian voice will increasingly become shaped by tenderness and tears.
Who has the time to practice solitude? Well, we all do. If you're willing to schedule a lunch with someone or schedule a meeting, you can schedule a meeting with God and just be present with him.
InterGenerate is the first multi-denominational conference about bringing generations together! It will be held at Nashville's Lipscomb University from June 25-27, 2017. Sound exciting? We think so!
I'm curious about what the link was, and why it wasn't posted. Also wondering why you didn't try to post it here.
I believe that any discussion of abortion needs to include the underlying reasons that would lead a woman to make such a decision. I like to refer folks to feminists for life. Perhaps if we lived in a perfect world, there would be no need for abortion; we're not in heaven yet. Personally, I would like to see abortion become very rare, and I'm happy to work toward that end.
As this piece states, "We owe it to everyone to educate each other about reproduction and abortion. We also need to create spaces in our ministries to extend the love, mercy, and grace that we have in Christ." This is why this piece concludes with a request for recommended resources that speak the truth with mercy and grace.
Thank you for this post. It helpfully reminds us of the various pressures women with unplanned pregnancies face.
You said of women seeking abortion counseling that "few knew the facts about what having an abortion entails." Yet, when I sent a link giving a clinically accurate, non-graphic description of what happens during different abortion procedures with a suggestion it be posted for information on the OSJ abortion page it was rejected. If you didn't like that one, perhaps you could find another. As you said about women seeking an abortion, "They need education, resources and support."
Thanks Shannon for a thoughtful article. We do need to talk about abortion. And we also need to remember that we are called to love one another, including people who face an unwanted pregnancy. We live in a very, very broken world where children are not always valued or loved as they deserve; where the amazing ability of women to bear new life is not always celebrated as the miracle that it is; where men don't always take their share of responsibility for the children that they have fathered; and where sexual violence has reached almost epidemic proportions; and this list could go on... Abortion is wrong; so are many aspects of this broken world that lead up to abortion. How do we talk about abortion, and also reflect the love and compassion of our Savior.
What a great story. Thanks, Staci. I'm reminded of how, more Sundays than not, my parents would invite someone over for coffee/lunch after church (especially new visitors). We met a lot of interesting people and, to us kids, it certainly modeled the value of hospitality. Plus I can't tell you how many times I've crossed paths with someone who made the connection and said 'hey, I was at your house once!'
Let's keep this thread going....who's next with an 'act of kindness' memory that left an impression?
Thank you Syd for not only talking about the "theory" of hospitality but giving concrete examples of what it can look like. Often I think we use words without really understanding what we are meaning.
Hi Tim! Just wanted to give you a heads up that part 4 was just posted here.
Currently in a season where dear friends are grappling with death (and we all are grieving), I sincerely appreciate this article. Especially love this reminder: "With the exception of faith, hope and love, spiritual subtraction is about looking this one hard truth square in the face – everything is passing away. It's about practicing death and learning how to let go in many small ways, so that when we're facing the "big" letting go of our physical death, we'll be ready."
Thanks, Sam.
It's only when the seed falls to the ground and dies that there there can be growth and harvest.
I would love to see the remainder of this series. I've reposted the first 3 parts on our church's FB page and received some positive feedback. But I have not seen any more parts. If they're available please post!
Thank you
Love this framing of faith formation! Wondering if we would consider the practice of the classic spiritual disciplines to be ways to "subtract" in our lives. Certainly fasting, silence and solitude nicely fit in that framework. I wonder how often we consider our liturgy as opportunities to present both addition and subtraction on a weekly basis.
Sam, so good to be enriched again by your wise observation! I'm going to add "walking" to my job description!
Peter Stellingwerff
Thank-you for these words! :)
A number of our churches are engaged in learning about how to rightly understand godly authenticity through the Ridder Church Renewal Process. To continue to build on what you have shared, Syd, I'd like to share some of the insights from the Ridder Process.
True authenticity happens when you bring all of what you know about yourself to all of what you know about God. I find that this fits perfectly with what you share under #1. Such a life of reflecting and growing through various avenues of spiritual formation/practices leads to continuous transformation of our knowledge (as well as directly impacting how we live) of our self and of God; which is connected to your second point.
A third value to consider when discussing authenticity is the growth point to challenge our strident individual practice: authentic community, that is, a community of people who share and sustain a common purpose with one another. It is in these small communities of individuals supporting one another in the practice of authenticity that the Spirit works to admonish, challenge, encourage, and help one another in truth, with love and patience. (1 Thes 5.14) Others helps us see our blind spots, being in community helps us live in God's design (i.e. relationally) and helps us to experience the very fundamental Christian truth: transformation does not happen without submission. In particular, such communities are the only safe place to be authentic before others because they are the only place where we might hear that what we know of ourselves is not true in light of what we know of God.
When we "fill out" what we understand about authenticity in this way, we see that the key value is not simply saying what's so for you as you are right now, but coming to understanding and action surrounding where Christ through the Spirit is leading you to be transformed to the Father's design. In authenticity, we are coming to terms with the old that needs to go and the new creation that has come (or is coming!) (2 Cor 5.17)
Thank you for this Syd. In my church over the last few years I hear a lot about wanting to grow in authenticity. That sounds like the "stand alone authenticity" you describe. Knowing that true authenticity is linked with spiritual practices gives us a path forward to developing real spiritual community.
Alright, Sam, you've convinced me to read this! I'll have to add my favorite line as a comment :)
Just ran across these words from a sermon on the Holy Spirit by A.W. Tozer: There is more of God in Augustine's Confessions than there is in all of the books written in fundamental circles in the last fifty years. If I were on an island and I could have a pile of all the fundamental, full-gospel literature written in the last fifty years, or have Augustine's Confessions, I would give up all the rest to keep the one book because God is in that book.
I have no words to express my sorrow.
I know God is sovereign.
i know God calls us to live in unity.
I know God calls us to both speak the truth and speak it in love.
But on Sunday I will sit with people whose decisions will intensely impact the marginalized in society in extremely negative ways. Many do so in utter ignorance of the pain this decision has on people who don't look like them. It is mystifying to them.
And I know that the church has been called to reconcile around the table since its inception... but I would be lying if I didn't say that I think we have lost our way as a church... and I weep. Not metaphorically. I've been crying a lot these past few days, and not just weeping with those who weep. Weeping when I'm alone too.
I fear it will get much worse before it gets better.
As a student of Dr. Hamstra's, I think this is an excellent example how Augustine's "Confessions" speaks to each reader with a different perspective. It touches everyone differently as to how the individual is not content, not satisfied, until it is home with the Father. I don't mean "at home with Father" to be the relationship that occurs after death, but the relationship one finds through complete surrender to the will of God. Can that surrendered relationship occur here on earth? I'm not sure but I am praying that I find my rest in doing His will.
Thanks for that example, Steve. It's a reminder of the importance of how as God's family we need to walk beside each other as we experience our dreams--both broken and whole.
Karen, here is one more example of broken dreams - couples preparing for their child and finding out that he/she has disabilities. How can we be there for them as they are forced to rethink their dreams?
The sudden death of Prince hit me and several of my family & friends hard. I had to really wrestle with why, and what endures when greatness is fleeting.
I absolutely love this post. It almost brought tears to my eyes as our interactions would look so different if we remembered the hopes and dreams that each and every person around us has. Eternal perspective!
Beautiful, Angela! I would really love to see that video and include it in Faith Formation Ministries' Faith Storytelling toolkit so other churches can see it too. If you're willing, send it to me at email@example.com!
I love this, Angela! What awesome stories probably came out of the question you asked. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Syd!
Fear - the pit of fear that lives inside of me. It casts out love, or tries to. And fuels my racial junk. You help express how deeply rooted my race junk is. and how important is the repentance that's on the way to love and joy and peace.
We are new to intnetional faith story telling. Because of what I read on the Network, this summer we video taped 10 responses to the question "Tell me about a meaningful Bible passage and why it is meaningful?" We included youth to seniors and different nationalities. We showed the first one last Sunday and I think it went well. It was very powerful to hear this story from this particular person. I hope it is the beginning of us being much more vulnerable with each other as we share our faith.
"I'm sure glad we have a God who is greater than either of these..."
Amen, Helen! Thanks for your insightful comment.
This is a year when the churches are being tested. Those in authority over us or those planning to be have not acted much like we would prefer. The language and accusations have brought us down low. Those running for the highest office of the land have been exposed as being sinners just as we are. However, comments made by the viewers would seem to be made by those who don't sin. I keep thinking of David who had an affair with Bathsheba. To cover his misdeeds, he put Uriah in the front lines of the battle after two other attempts failed. Yet David was a man of God. If it's Trumpland that one wants to criticize or Clinton Foundation and its implications, I'm sure glad we have a God who is greater than either of these. Whatever happens, He will bring it to pass. If it is to punish us for our rebelliousness or bring us back to Him through a lifestyle we haven't experienced for many decades, His wisdom is far greater than ours. I will do my civic duty and vote for the one I feel is more god-fearing and will lead in an honest and integral manner.
What about the challenge the Clinton campaign lays before the church?
Thanks for leading with transparency and humility like this, Syd! Really appreciate it.
Thanks, Joshua, for the post. In the past, I felt a sense of guilt at my inability to practice the presence of God for more than a few minutes. A spiritual guide, farther along in the journey of faith than I was, said, "Think of God the same way that you think of a loving parent with a small child. The parent finds great joy when the child snuggles up and just quietly sits on the parent's lap. However, a parent's joy and love aren't diminished in any when the child then runs off to play. Giving myself the same grace that God extends to me has kept me from feeling guilty and, over time, my ability to be present and just "sit in the Father's lap" has greatly increased.
Beautifully said, Syd, and worthy of reflection and action! Thanks for these words of wisdom and challenge.
Jeanne Kallemeyn
Outstanding Joshua, keep working at it!!!
It was a struggle for me as well, we often live our lives at 100 mph. Trying to put the brakes on long enough to for anything other then ourselves can be seem unnecessary and impossible. I for one have to make my time in the a.m., but my wife and I have a separate time we set aside for prayer together. My personal time is around 3:30 a.m. or as soon as I have my first cup of coffee down. I'm not sure exactly how the progress came about but I started by just reading a verse each morning I am now up to about 30 minutes of prayer. I found that the more I prayed the more I found to pray for. I can only say I believe that to be the Holy Spirit growing in me. Either way I truly enjoyed you post, thank you.
I have come to see and understand that, along with the truth that Jesus died in my place, he also lived in my place - lived that wholly faithful and sinless life that I cannot. Still, to know Jesus and to listen to Him, to 'live in his neighborhood' as someone put it, I can't miss the push to imitate Him, to do what he says and what himself does. I am coming to see that the closer I am to Jesus, realizing what it took for Him to deal with sin, the more I can come to see what sin is, especially in my own life. Separating law and gospel has always led to problems, but seeing them united in Christ seems like the best way forward, at least to me.
Nice article Brianna. It has a nice balance to a concern that many in the Reformed tradition seem to feel. I think that concern has something to do with the legalistic perspective of the Reformed faith. Reformed people have always placed a certain emphasis on law. I'm recalling, in my mind, Calvin's three uses of the law. The using of the law as a rule of gratitude seems to easily backfire and result in guilt, whether warranted or not.
When Reformed Christians speak of the law as a rule of gratitude for Christian living, it easily disintegrates into a measuring stick for Christian living. And when you don't measure up, the result is guilt and guilty feelings.
The Pharisees, of course, were driven by law. They would use the law as a measuring stick to guilt their fellow Jews and Jesus into obedience. Jesus didn't buy into such a mentality. Jesus seemed to dismiss much of the Jewish cherished laws. Instead Jesus' emphasis was on compassion. Have you ever noticed how often Jesus was characterized as having compassion on and for people, whether on the crowds, individuals, sinners, or even good people? And much of Jesus' teachings focused on compassion. Have you ever noticed how often the Pharisees were characterized as having compassion? Not once. So as to Jesus' teaching and example, law and compassion seem to be antithetical to each other.
Paul, at times encouraged joyful giving, akin to having compassion. As Reformed Christians we, instead, follow a measuring stick of grateful giving (legalistic), which gets spelled out as giving a measurable tithe, or an individual quota, a classical quota, and a denominational quota. It all gets broken down into a legalistic amount that Reformed Christians should be giving, whether as churches or as individuals. And when not meeting that measure, the result is guilty feelings and guilt. The law, even as a rule (measuring stick) of gratitude (which the Pharisees would also advocate) becomes a measure of our failure more often than a measure of our success.
Law or legalism most often has a negative effect of bringing about guilt and feelings of doubt. Even the use of the law as a rule of gratitude is not so different than what the Pharisees practiced. I'm quite certain they would have seen law keeping as rule of gratitude for the deliverance they felt from God, too. But they put a heavy emphasis on human responsibility to be law keepers, even as Reformed people have done. And our failure always seems to bring about guilt. That is another emphasis of the Reformed faith, human failure.
Christ wants our lives to be characterized by compassion, whether it is forgiving others or doing good for others, but not as legalistic law keepers. Perhaps the secret to a joyous Christian experience is to get our eyes off the law and instead live compassionate lives of love for God and neighbor.
Thanks Syd! I like this approach a lot. All pastors are not capable of doing this. You are a teacher/preacher and that makes a difference. Maybe seminarians need to be taught how to do this, and not only with the young. Many older members could use their gifts in this way also.
Thanks for sharing this, Staci. It's wonderful reminder of what it means to walk (or run!) alongside someone.
I love these ideas, Karen. Thanks for sharing them! I was just thinking last night about how to encourage my kids as one of them is going back to school next week. I was thinking of having a "prayer meal" where everyone has the opportunity to talk about what makes them anxious or sad about going back to school, and what makes them happy or excited about going back to school during dinner, and afterward we take some time to pray about them for each other.
Thanks for writing this! There is so much wisdom in your advice to come along side people who are facing circumstances that can shake even the strongest faith to the core. Love this question: "Are our friendships, our churches, our Christian communities, safe spaces for people to ask the hard questions without being thrown easy answers, or worse, being ridiculed and dismissed?"
Thank you for this encouraging piece! I'm forwarding to several people right away!
Unfortunate that English doesn't differentiate between Faith, a collection of dogma and faith, "belief" in anything."
Thanks for sharing this, Laura. I love your ideas for other ways a congregation might also use this blessing.
A remarkable and encouraging piece of writing. I've already shared it with several people. Thank you. ~Stanley
Thanks for your feedback, Mark. I hear what you are saying and I will have to give this some thought. Words matter. I do resonate with the idea of opportunity for the whole congregation to grow in its understanding of what it means to be community.
Thanks Leslie! Great thoughts. Here's one for you: I'm beginning to wonder if "accommodations" is even the right word. (And it's one that I use often, so this is something I'm wondering about and I invite you to wonder with me.) "Accommodations" implies that you, whoever the "you" is, are special, and so we'll do something special for you to be a part of us. We don't call stairs an "accommodation", even though there are some people in church who could move from one floor to another using nothing but a rope. Nor do we consider electric lights or toilets or microphones and speakers to be "accommodations". Here's another book to consider, Turning Barriers into Bridges: The Inclusive Use of Information and Communication Technology for Churches in America, Britain, and Canada by John Jay Frank. In that book he argues that what some of us think of as "accommodations" are actually just ways for people to participate. So in the case of the man you describe, the unplugged mic is not an accommodation for the man who would use it sometimes, it's an opportunity for the whole congregation to be more the community that God calls your congregation to be. So I wonder, if we don't use the word "accommodation", what would be a better word?
Bekki you don't know me but you DO know well some of my family members Doug, Leslie, Kiel, Liz and Jack. Jeri is my husband Bill's oldest sister. You, my dear sister in Christ, are a blessing to so very many. I forwarded this write-up to Doug and family, as I'm not sure they get the weekly CRC Network. THANK YOU for your beautiful testimony, your sunshine nature, and for being such a blessing to the Hoek family, in particular over the past six months through their loss of Jeri. You have indeed been "baptized in sunshine"!! :)
Love this article!! Thank you Bekki for sharing with us.
This is an amazing testimony! I am truly left without words.
Thank you, Bekki and Staci, for sharing this very special and purposeful story!
Thank you for your question. I emailed the rest of our Faith Formation Ministries team to compile some resources for you and below is the list we came up with:
- Calvin College has a great mentoring program aimed at college students. Here is their resource page: https://calvin.edu/offices-services/mentoring/mentoring-resources/
- This is a Faith Alive resource for mentoring: http://www.faithaliveresources.org/Products/410110/so-youve-been-asked-to-mentor-a-young-person--set-of-3.aspx
- A book that one of our team members has found to be very helpful and practical is A Generous Presence. While it's for a coaching relationship there is much in this book that would work in a mentoring relationship. https://www.amazon.com/Generous-Presence-Spiritual-Leadership-Coaching/dp/156699325
We'll also have more resources on mentoring in our upcoming Building Blocks of Faith free online toolkit, so we can update you about it when it goes live on our website.

Some of you have already reviewed much of this translation, and I was wondering if there were any passages that were especially noteworthy. I'd appreciate "the good, the bad, and the ugly," so to speak. Note: I would appreciate it if those who are KJVO would not comment on these issues. I'm not interested in the KJV debate. God bless you all, but I'd like to hear from those who might actually use the NLTse.

The water itself is indeed boiling - in fact, due to all the dissolved chemicals from the volcanic activity, the boiling point for the water is higher than normal tap water, so at a minimum the water is likely 225 degrees F, and probably much higher closer down to the bottom near where the magma ...

Alright, first off, this entry is a short one, and it's actually from last night (Sunday) instead of today. I was too tired to write it after the novel yesterday, and today's experience is vastly too long for me to finish tonight - so I'll send that tomorrow when I get some time.

These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. The SES349 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Escada collections 2015 and 2016.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The square shape accentuates the face shape, making it the perfect style element for self-confident personalities. The first-class craftsmanship of acetate frames meets the highest quality standards. This extremely lightweight material also guarantees maximum comfort. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Escada back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

As a mother, I take on many roles and wear many hats. I am the typical mom who works around carpool, school practices, and doctor appointments. For a number of years when my children were small, I lived a much more stressful life. I was a full-time mom, worked outside the home and was a college student, house keeper, chauffeur and cook. Like lots of moms, I had a full schedule and never a moment to spare.
In all, it was a very full life. Fast forward a little down the road to having two children diagnosed with ADHD and a later additional diagnosis of autism. It was not a pretty thing. It was tremendously exhausting, and at times all I wanted was for it to stop. Between doctor visits, therapy sessions and everything else, I slowly lost my sense of self. I didn't know it at the time, but I was so sad and tired it took a great toll on my life. I began to isolate myself and my family. I did poorly in school, couldn't concentrate at work, and was constantly on the go both day and night. I thought I was just tired, but as it turned out, I was very depressed.
One day at a Texas Parent to Parent Family Support training I attended, they discussed grief and having a child with a disability. They then talked about the typical stages that parents experience. I realized that I was going through the grieving process. While it took me a long while to figure out, it took even longer to do something about it. Most people associate grief with losing a loved one, but the truth is that we experience grief in many ways and for many reasons throughout our life. We may grieve over the loss of a job, an illness, the loss of a partner or even an unexpected diagnosis.
Learning to acknowledge what I was feeling and why I was feeling that way was a blessing. As I learned about grief and the stages, I also learned what personal healing is and how it is important to all of us and our lives. Our feelings of sadness or disappointment are normal human emotions and it is alright to feel them. Through acknowledgement and acceptance comes healing and happiness. Even in the most difficult of situations, after the hurt comes the healing and we can keep moving ahead.
Texas Parent to Parent provides a variety of trainings. Training that covers grief and the stages of adaptation is just one of the many they offer. Visit their website for more information and to see when the next parent support training is coming to your area.

Purpose. Following the demonstrated efficacy and safety of eribulin mesylate in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic breast cancer, an exploratory analysis was performed to investigate the effect of age in these patients. Methods. Data were pooled from two single-arm phase II studies and one open-label randomized phase III study inwhich patients received eribulin mesylate at 1.4 mg/m2 as 2- to 5- minute intravenous infusions on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. The effect of age on median overall survival (OS), progressionfree survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and incidence of adverse events (AEs) was calculated for four age groups (<50 years, 50-59 years, 60-69 years,≥70 years). Results. Overall, 827 patients were included in the analysis (<50 years, n = 253; 50-59 years, n = 289; 60-69 years, n = 206; ≥70 years, n = 79). Age had no significant impact on OS (11.8 months, 12.3 months, 11.7 months, and 12.5 months, respectively; p =.82),PFS (3.5months, 2.9months, 3.8months, and 4.0 months, respectively; p =.42), ORR (12.7%, 12.5%, 6.3%, and 10.1%, respectively), or CBR (20.2%, 20.8%, 20.4%, and 21.5%, respectively). Although some AEs had higher incidence in either the youngest or the oldest subgroup, there was no overall effect of age on the incidence of AEs (including neuropathy, neutropenia, and leukopenia). Conclusion. Eribulin monotherapy in these selected older patients with good baseline performance status led to OS, PFS, ORR, CBR, and tolerability similar to those of younger patients with metastatic breast cancer.The benefits and risks of eribulin appear to be similar across age groups. © AlphaMed Press 2014.

In a survey, marked inconsistency in how oncologists judged value of high-cost cancer drugs in relation to gains in survival

Amid calls for physicians to become better stewards of the nation's health care resources, it is important to gain insight into how physicians think about the cost-effectiveness of new treatments. Expensive new cancer treatments that can extend life raise questions about whether physicians are prepared to make "value for money" tradeoffs when treating patients. We asked oncologists in the United States and Canada how much benefit, in additional months of life expectancy, a new drug would need to provide to justify its cost and warrant its use in an individual patient. The majority of oncologists agreed that a new cancer treatment that might add a year to a patient's life would be worthwhile if the cost was less than $100,000. But when given a hypothetical case of an individual patient to review, the oncologists also endorsed a hypothetical drug whose cost might be as high as $250,000 per life-year gained. The results show that oncologists are not consistent in deciding how many months an expensive new therapy should extend a person's life before the cost of therapy is justified. Moreover, the benefit that oncologists demand from new treatments in terms of length of survival does not necessarily increase according to the price of the treatment. The findings suggest that policy makers should find ways to improve how physicians are educated on the use of cost-effectiveness information and to influence physician decision making through clinical guidelines that incorporate cost-effectiveness information. © 2012 Project HOPE-The People-to-People Health Foundation, Inc.

Implementing an oral health/systemic health wellness plan for patients can be an important part of a dental practice's proactive approach to healthcare that emphasizes early detection and treatment of disease. As an adjunct to clinical observations, medical history, and patient information gathered and assessed by the practitioner, utilization of screening and diagnostic technology, including oral cancer screening devices, salivary diagnostic tests, and caries detection devices, can aid in the early detection of disease. These tests, which are usually billable, can aid in providing timely, effectual wellness services to patients by enabling practitioners to supply these services more effectively and at an early stage to the benefit of the patient's overall health.

We assessed the efficacy and safety of capecitabine across treatment lines, and the impact of patient and disease characteristics on outcomes using data from phase II/III trials. Individual patient data were pooled from seven Roche/Genentech-led trials conducted from 1996 to 2008 where single-agent capecitabine was the test or control regimen for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Data were analyzed from 805 patients: 268 in the first-line metastatic setting and 537 in the second-line or later setting. Baseline characteristics were balanced across treatment lines. Patients receiving second-line or later versus first-line capecitabine had lower objective response rates (ORR: 19.0 vs. 25.0 %, respectively, odds ratio 0.70; 95 % CI: 0.5-1.0) and significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS: median 112.0 days [3.7 months] vs. 150.0 days [4.9 months]; p < 0.0001) and overall survival (OS: median 396.0 days [13.0 months] vs. 666.0 days [21.9 months]; p < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis by backward elimination, significantly improved ORR (p = 0.0036), PFS (p < 0.0001) and OS (p < 0.0001) with capecitabine were demonstrated in patients with estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PgR)-positive versus both ER and PgR-negative tumors. Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) was the most common adverse event (AE) in 63 % of patients. Overall, 7 % of patients discontinued and two patients (<1 %) died from treatment-related AEs. Significantly improved survival was observed in patients developing capecitabine-related HFS (p < 0.0001 PFS/OS) or diarrhea (p = 0.004 OS; p = 0.0045 PFS) versus patients without these events. In this pooled analysis of individual patient data, first-line capecitabine was associated with improved ORR, PFS, and OS versus second or later lines. Multivariate analyses identified greater ORR, PFS, and OS with capecitabine in patients with ER and/or PgR-positive versus ER/PgR-negative tumors. Safety was in-line with previous phase III trials in MBC. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York. Source

Standard chemotherapy regimens can prove effective for patients with early triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, patients with advanced disease typically respond poorly and rapidly progress, and the outcome is poor. New targeted therapies are therefore an urgent unmet medical need for this patient population. Translational and clinical studies into new TNBC treatments have been facilitated by the increased understanding of the aberrant signal transduction pathways regulating growth and survival and the development of chemoresistance in TNBC. Some of the established targeted agents that have been approved in other indications may prove beneficial to patients with TNBC; however, in the absence of approved targeted agents for the treatment of TNBC, most new agents remain experimental. Increased understanding of molecular profiles of TNBC subtypes is likely to improve therapeutic strategies with targeted agents. Novel strategies have reached clinical evaluation in patients with TNBC, including targeting angiogenesis vascular endothelial growth factor and proliferation signalling (receptor tyrosine kinases and mammalian target of rapamycin). Aggressive TNBCs have been found to associate closely with BRCA1 mutation or dysregulation. The recent development of new investigational agents targeting DNA repair, either directly with poly(adenosine disphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitors or indirectly through DNA-binding or DNA-damage potentiation, is a major focus of current clinical studies. These and other targeted therapies represent a new approach to TNBC therapy. © The Author 2012. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society for Medical Oncology.

Just horrific news out of Kansas City this morning.
According to multiple reports, Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend, and then drove to the team's facility and killed himself.
The team confirmed the incident in a statement.
"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning. We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."
The 25-year-old Belcher, who started 10 games this season, reportedly fired the first gunshots around 8 a.m., and then drove to the facility a short time later. Making matters worse, Belcher and his girlfriend had a baby less than three months ago.
Just got off phone w/the KCPD. Spokesman said PD the girl's mother called them, her daughter had been shot by her "on-again, off-again bf".
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 1, 2012
That call was at 7:50 CT. Police called to Arrowhead at 8:10. They found Chiefs staffers, and the player w/a gun to his head in parking lot.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 1, 2012
… As the officer got out of his car, he heard a gunshot. Player was taken to local hospital, pronounced dead.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) December 1, 2012
Several Chiefs coaches confronted Belcher, urging him not to take his own life, police say.
Police: #Chiefs player, 25, was met by coaches in the parking lot of the practice facility and then took his own life.
— Kansas City Star (@KCStar) December 1, 2012
Head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli supposedly witnessed the suicide.
KCPD say the player thanked both men before taking his life, and that Pioli and Crennel did not feel threatened. KCPD not revealing identity

There was some speculation that team officials are pushing for the NFL to postpone Sunday's game between the Chiefs and Panthers at Arrowhead Stadium.
The league, unfortunately, isn't listening.
Panthers interim GM Brandon Beane says league has advised team to travel as planned. Team charter leaves at 1:15 pm.
