Five Steps to Intelligent Gluten-Free Eating
The last several years we've been bombarded with gluten-free products, touting claims for better health to weight loss to lowering risk of disease. What is the truth in these claims? Is it just another fad? And if you decide to be gluten-free how do you do it in a way that truly honors your health? […]Read More» Posted by Susan Dopart | 0 comments

And I find that with a pack of cigarette in my bag, I'm able to function much better throughout the day and crave for cigarettes less. Sometimes I fell like having a cigarette but I don't, because I tell myself I can have one later since it's in my bag anyway. And by doing this, I'm down to 3 - 5 cigarettes a day. My usual is 7 - 10.
It's when there are no cigarettes around, that's when my mind stops functioning and can only think about smoking. It's madness! Trying to quit has taken over my life and i can't of nothing else but how badly I need a cigarette when clearly, I don't.
It's 6.30pm and I've only had 2 sticks today. Once after lunch. And once at tea time. Not too bad if I can say so myself.
It's in a bar (which I hardly go to anymore, yay!) or when having coffee with friends, that's the hardest to smoke just one.
Seriously ... coffee and cigarettes ... they go hand in hand.
Okay I know that cigarettes is bad for the body. But I figures I still really enjoy smoking. And if I stop cold turkey like I did for 2 days, it can lead to anxiety, stress, insomnia, and depression?! That's madness. Quite smoking for health but get a host of other illnesses?
So I figured that I'll still smoke (because it feels sooo good!) but only when I really want one and really am able to enjoy one. I shall no longer smoke because I'm bored or because everyone else around me is smoking.
I can now sit at a table of smokers and not smoke myself.
And the battle continues.
To everyone out there who's trying to quit, good luck!

A Theatre Project Book
PLASA Focus
Theatre Projects, in collaboration with architect Moshe Safdie and acoustician Nagata Acoustics, designed and planned the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, opening this month in the heart of Kansas City, Missouri. Theatre Projects played the lead role in theatre design and planning as well as in engineering the customized theatre equipment. BNIM in Kansas City served as the executive architect.
The 285,000 net sq. ft. (435,000 gross sq. ft.) Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is a world-class arts space featuring two distinct performance spaces that will serve as home to the Kansas City Ballet, Kansas City Symphony, and Lyric Opera of Kansas City.
The 1,800-seat Kauffman Theatre, a proscenium theatre for opera and dance, draws inspiration from the great opera houses of Europe. Balconies wrap around the auditorium to create ideal proximity and sight lines for the audience. The space gives the audience the sense of an intimate performance yet still feels grand.
In an effort to give the audience the kind of engaging and interactive experience only a smaller, more intimate space can offer, Theatre Projects' concept design for the Kauffman Theatre incorporated multiple balconies and side boxes of seating, which bring more people closer to the stage and wrap the room with live energy.
The 1,600 seat Helzberg Hall, designed for symphonic music, deploys another successful form, only recently rediscovered: the vineyard concert hall, an arena-type space that places the musicians in the very heart of the room with the audience seating in terraces (reminiscent of a vineyard) encircling the concert platform. The sedate wood tone and fluid shape of the concert hall give the impression of a curved musical instrument and follows the exterior shape of the building. Theatre Projects provided flexibility with the design of a six-lift system to easily transform the concert platform into numerous performance configurations, depending on the center's artistic needs.
Richard Pilbrow, Theatre Projects' founder and early Kauffman Center project leader, said "Both the Kauffman Theatre and Helzberg Hall combine outstanding acoustics, fine and spacious stages, and state-of-the-art theatre technology while creating unparalleled intimacy. Each will foster an unrivaled sense of participation, to move, uplift, inspire, and entertain audiences long into the future."
Michael Ferguson, Theatre Projects project manager for the Kauffman Center, said "The two rooms have very distinct characters. Helzberg Hall, with its curves and wood tones, feels like a classical guitar while the Kauffman Theatre plays like an electric guitar with vibrant colors and dynamic shapes - the two together in one facility are perfect complements. The leaders of the Kauffman Center strove to build a top-quality performing arts center, and that attention to quality shows through not only in the audience and performance spaces, but also in the back of house and support spaces. These new theatres will serve Kansas City well."
Theatre Projects began planning a world-class performing arts center in Kansas City with Julia Kauffman and the Muriel B Kaufman Foundation in 1999. Rather than follow the decades-old tradition of creating a single, multipurpose hall serving all the performing arts, Theatre Projects and the Kauffmans focused on a plan to create two high-quality halls, one for music and one for theatre, opera, and dance, that sought to avoid compromise and reach the highest levels of international quality.
Working closely with the Safdie team as well as Nagata Acoustics, Theatre Projects developed the Kauffman's vision into a balance of cutting edge technology and intimate performance space that offers virtually unlimited experiences. The center also includes warm-up rooms, administrative offices, and support spaces.
In addition to Pilbrow and Ferguson, other Theatre Projects personnel include Brian Hall and Carol Allen (theatre designers) and Michael Nishball (theatre equipment designer).
Others contributing to the project are JR Clancy (theatrical rigging), Gala Systems (theatrical lifts), Theatre Solutions, Inc. (theatrical seating), and ETC (theatrical dimming and control.)
The $326 million Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City opens the weekend of September 16. Performances kick off in the Kauffman Theatre on Friday, September 16 with a range of performances from opera to Broadway, headlined by Placido Domingo, making his first appearance in Kansas City. Multiple Tony Award winners Tommy Tune and Patti Lupone will make special guest appearances. Saturday, September 17 will be the inaugural performance for Helzberg Hall with special guest appearances by singer/pianist Diana Krall and virtuoso violinist Itzhak Perlman, as well as a salute to Kansas City jazz featuring composer/musician Bobby Watson.

hi christer! i don't think the world will end today either but there are a few people i would not mind seeing disappear! we will have a day today with no rain but then it returns tomorrow. this has been one of the rainiest springs i can remember. nova seems to be very very smart. she also seems to be fitting in very well. does she act like she has always been with you? i did not realize that badgers were related to skunks. do they smell like skunks too? joyce
The end is near!
The sun was up since long when Nova decided to wake me up at 5 am. I could here some cranes from a distance through my open bedroom window as well as some Cuckoo birds. Already then my apple tree was filled with starlings that takes the black flies that is everywhere in the tree (I showed You one in yesterdays post). There must be an enormous amount of black flies because the starlings are still here 🙂
I hope they will continue to come all summer because the more birds I have here the less problems I´ll get with pest insects in my garden. We have lots of swallows here too now and they will take care of those insects that flies around instead 🙂
We took a long walk this morning, through the fields and in to the forest. I wanted to see if we could meet the badger again but we missed him, instead we met a couple of cranes and some deers. But I´m pretty sure I know where the badgers burrow is. He marks the area with urine and it doesn´t smell perfume if You know what I mean 🙂 Well he is a realtive to the skunk so it´s not surprising 🙂 🙂
I´ve noticed that Nova knows what day it is! She happily walks to the dog yard every morning when I´m going to work, but it´s almost impossible to get her there on a weekend day 🙂 Orvar and Hector doesn´t care, they run there what ever day it might be 🙂 But not Nova! Since she is terrified of the vacuum cleaner I have to put them there while vacuuming, so now I have to put the leash on her to be certain I´ll get her there 🙂 🙂
We´ll have a mix of clouds and sunshine here today but they say we won´t have any rain, so I guess I´ll have to mow the lawn. It doesn´t take long to be honest, less than an hour but I can´t say I like to do it 🙂 But I have no troubles weeding my flower beds to be honest 🙂
It´s time for some breakfast and after that I think I´ll take a short nap 🙂 It´s still early morning for most people to be honest 🙂 🙂 By the way! I guess You all know by now that the world might go under later today 🙂 You all know I love a good "The world will end" theory (but I never believe them 🙂 ), so I´ll look forward till tonight when a giant earth quake will destroy this little planet of ours 🙂 Well this man that has calculated this has done so several times before and always had a nice excuse for why he was wrong 🙂 so I doubt he will be right this time either 🙂 🙂 🙂 But if he against all odds actually will be right this time I just want to say may You all rest in piece 🙂 Have a great day now!

Hi Christer,
I have never smelled badger but I would guess that all of those mustelids smell pretty much the same except for degree of intensity and ability to project. Skunks aren't mustelids anymore but only because of modern science. Noses still know. 🙂
Lovely sun shiny pictures today! The weather here has been dank and dull and rainy for over a week now. The sun tried to peek out yesterday but was swiftly overcome. I took a photo to help me recognize it should it show up again any time soon.
Enjoy the rest of the day.
Thanks but I don't plan on resting in peace…just maybe moving onto the next "place"….where I hope there's lots of dogs and cats! 🙂
Besides, I'm too busy right now for the end of the world! 😀
Hi Christer, I can't wait to see your cinnamon rose in full bloom!! My lily of the valley is just about to burst into bloom, the photo of yours is delightful! I normally do not care for starlings, but if they will keep the black flies away that is something in their favor. Brilliant Nova to know the days of the week. My Gwennie hates the vacuum, she barks and growls, and she barks every time the phone rings.
We are supposed to have sun and 76 degrees F today…so far very cloudy with drizzly rain.
So I lift a glass of beer to you, my friend, and say, "See you in the After-Life!" LOL!
Yes. Rest in Peace. We all need a break from planet Earth. I shall wait and see. I believe he said 6PM EST. I'll make sure I have my hat on. Love that crane photo today Christer.
Hi Christer ,
On 11 may 2011 a quake was calculated to strike Rome and central Italy. people was terrified , someone left the City to go in open country, someone closed shops.
But a light quake stroke south Spain… So ridiculos to pretend to know if and when things like this will happen.. luckily..
Buona Serata
Om nu Nova är så himla smart så ser jag fram emot att du lär henne: När vi är på semester i Ljusne sover vi till 8 hahahahaha………….
Vi har varit på sygrejs idag, kollat in en kvinna i Alfta som har 500 000 knappar och div annat dyl som man har i en sybehörsaffär. OBS hon har hela baletten hemma!!! Man ska aldrig tro man är värst på nått sätt.
Kram LjusneLotta & Co
I didn't believe the world would end today either, but just in case I ate pecan pie with ice cream at dinner last night! 😉

Okay, so my post earlier, was pretty lame. I admit it.
But my sweet friend and reader Hillary, gave me an idea of a post! And that my friends is just one of the awesome things about blogs! When your own brain isn't working, someone else's is!
Hillary said she saw someone else do a post about what's on your nightstand and she thought it was a fun idea, and I HAVE TO AGREE!
So here goes!
I remember hearing Nate Burkus talking one time about the rooms in our home, and how the bedroom is the most important room in the house and that we should really devote our attention to it. But he also said that the bedroom is the room that usually gets the least amount of attention.
Well, he was definitely right about me! I put much more effort into my kids rooms than I do my own, and my nightstand is kind of pitiful.
Here it is....It's not even technically a real nightstand! It's one of those generic tables that I throw a cloth over.
I keep this picture out because I love it. This was taken on Hope's first birthday and I just think my babies are so sweet.
I have this lamp that is a pineapple, and actually came from Williamsburg. Did you know that the pineapple means welcome?
Of course my alarm clock, that I always have set 10 minutes fast, you know one of those lame keep myself in bed longer tricks.
My precious remotes that get a workout every night, along with my, I can't see the television glasses.
Books that I should be reading instead of watching mindless television.
Oh and a candle, well because it is the bedroom after all. HOLLA. And the phone had to make an appearance, because HONESTLY, it's usually right there.
And that's it! Not much to it really, but a fun idea and post. You should do it too!

If you are a follower of Jesus, know that it is ok to doubt.
I have walked with Jesus for almost 44 years. I would venture that 42 of those were very consistent. Honestly, it was hard to figure what I could and shouldn't do for a few years.
Less than two years after I began a relationship with Jesus, my mother died unexpectedly in the middle of the night. Not only was I devastated and shocked, I wondered if God cared. Looking back, I remember for about two weeks before she died that I had this real certain feeling, maybe it was assurance, that God was about to do something BIG in my life. Like bring the guy who was to be "the One".
His big thing appeared to be taking my mom. I was confused and hurt and doubtful. I look back in hindsight (oh if we could just do that while we are going through trials) and see that because my mother was no longer around, I learned very very early in my walk with Jesus, that HE was the only ONE who would always be around. I leaned into Him because I didn't know where else to go.
The next 40 or so years, I had plenty of times when I doubted Jesus. When my anger was the reason that my sons ran away; from me and from the LORD. When my teenage daughter developed anorexia and was hospitalized for 2 months. When another of my children was dishonest about a relationship that ending up causing them tremendous pain.
Doubting if Jesus was watching or even cared, came when my husband was laid off from a job he loved. And when mental illness was having its way in our family. When one family member became so depressed and despondent that they tried to end their life.
Yes, following Jesus has caused me quite a few doubts.
My brain knows that He says: "I will never leave you or forsake you.", but my heart questions if God even sees the anguish, the tears, the fears that have enveloped my life at times.
And yet, I know He loves me, I know He loves you. That's the cerebral part of me working. I have spent years in His Word. I believe it all to be true. I love the Bible because it comforts me when I need it. But sometimes I need proof; I want to see visibly that God cares. I don't always get what I want from God. I imagine that most of us feel that way at sometime and it is in those times, that the doubt comes.
This summer has been one of those times for me.
I have been confused. I have doubted. I have been so angry at God that I have yelled at Him numerous times.
"Don't you see we can't take this?"
"Why don't YOU do something?"
"How much more can she endure?"
"Don't you care?"
Almost 44 years of walking with Jesus and this has been one of the most difficult spiritual crises' I have experienced.
A dear friend sent me a paper on having Hope in Lament.
She too, is having a rough time of it.
I always knew that there were a number of Psalms that we called "psalms of Lament", and this summer I have truly experienced lament.
According to Dan Allender,
"To lament-that is to cry out to God with our doubts, our incriminations of him and others, to bring a complaint against Him-is the context of surrender. Surrender, the turning of our heart over to Him, asking for mercy and receiving His terms for restoration is- impossible without battle. To put it simply, it is inconceivable to surrender to God unless there is a prior declared war against Him."
That pretty much summed up in a nutshell what has been going on in my life. Have I waged war with God? Partly yes and partly no.
I have had active hostility in my anger. I have been in conflict with Him. I have contested His ways.
Oh I have been angry; so angry that my tears spill all too frequently out of my eyes.
I think I have surrendered to His will and then when things appear worse in this situation, I get mad all over again and my doubts are full blown.
The one advantage I have in walking with Jesus through all my adult years is that even though I don't "feel" it now, I know He cares. I have experienced His faithfulness. I have relished His Grace. I have known His forgiveness in sweet sweet ways. And I know that in the end, His way is always the best way.
It's just that now, I don't see it.
I am confused. I am hurt by what seems His lack of involvement.
I know I am impatient, but I also know how very long (18 years) this struggle, this pain, this un-ending trial has gone on, and I just want to see some answers. I want to see His Hope again.
Yet through this hard time, I remember.
I remember through all the other very difficult times, I have known more of Jesus, I have been swept into intimacy with Him like never before. And so I wait. I wait for that to come.
In the meantime, I struggle. I doubt. I still get angry. I still confess my sin (over and over and over again).
And I know that God's love for me has not changed. He loves me as much this minute as He always has. I have not fallen from His graces. He is still here. And He isn't going anywhere.
So when your doubts come, please oh please, do not despair. Don't give up. Get mad, tell God you are confused and frightened and angry. He can take it.
And then breathe in and wait.
Soon you will know more of Him than you ever have.
With Job, I agree:
"Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him" (Job 13:15)
Where else could I possibly go?

Summer is officially over at Woodleaf. Our camping season ended Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, the last group of our campers and leaders left; and Sunday saw the goodbye of the third session Assignment Team and the Summer Staff and the WorkCrew.
I am so grateful for all who came to Woodleaf this summer and gave of their time, their service, all for the purpose of bringing high schoolers (and one 5 day session of Middle Schoolers) to the feet of Jesus.
EVERYTHING that is done at camp, from the program team entertaining our campers, the leaders who counsel their high school friends, the speaker who has the privilege of telling campers the greatest love story ever told, to the people who spend hours in the kitchen preparing the meals, those who keep you safe on the ropes course and tower, the lifeguards who watch you closely, the boys who empty the garbage, the gals who clean the toilets, the wranglers who keep you safe at the track and on the rides, the doctors and paramedics who are here to help you when you are sick or injured, to the crew that manages the sound system, the girls that served you delicious whirleys, or who helped you make a craft or sold you special merchandise at the store, along with the one who recorded your week to view again and again; EVERYTHING is done with the purpose of allowing our friends to hear the Good News of how much Jesus Christ loves them.
But there is a very special group of people who came for 13 weeks to help the property staff accomplish all that is needed to be done in order to have a fun and successful camping season.
This year we were privileged to have 17 young adults from all over the country serving here to make this place " the best week of your life" to thousands of high school kids.
This group is called Interns, as they are here to learn what it looks like to work and live on a Young Life Property. Every Young Life camp has interns that come and serve for the entire summer.
This year at Woodleaf, Our Interns (affectionately dubbed "Winterns" by themselves) was THE MOST EXCEPTIONAL group I have ever gotten to be involved with.
The entire group had such incredible hearts to serve Jesus wholeheartedly. They always had a smile on their face, they worked ridiculously long hours without complaining and loved each other so well.
It was not a summer without difficulties. They endured tragedy and sorrow and comforted and encouraged each other thru some really hard times. But they also had FUN. They thoroughly enjoyed each others company, they developed deep and lasting friendships and experienced community like never before. They lived in crammed and tight quarters, but they cooked for each other and served each other. There was MANY late night discussions (and you think we didn't know!) that were real, honest and vulnerable.
These Winterns worked tirelessly and they were playful too. They loved each other with abandon.
For eight different summers, I have had the immense privilege and opportunity to lead the amazing and talented interns. Each summer has been unique. Each group different but all here to serve Jesus. Each and every intern at each and every camp deserves our appreciation.
Thank you doesn't seem to be adequate, but the gratefulness I feel, is one that words can't fully express.
This will be my last time to be an Intern boss, and what a gift this group of 17 has been to me. Going out with the BEST.

Biography of Malcolm Knowles
Done By:
One cannot mention Adult Education without making reference to the internationally reputable adult educationist by the name of Malcolm Shepherd Knowles. Malcolm is renowned for leading both as an academician and practitioner who played a crucial role in the development and the application of adult learning across the globe (George, 2011). Background
Malcolm Shepherded Knowles was born in August 24, 1913 in Livingstone, Montana. His parents were Dr. and Mrs. Dr. A. D. Knowles. He loved to participate in sports and outdoor activities from an early age. In addition to this, he was an avid scout during his youthful years. He was also an academically astute student. This was made evident when he graduated at the top of his class from the Palm Beach High School in 1930. Consequently, he was admitted to the distinguished Harvard University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1934. During his stay at this prestigious institution, he took courses in philosophy, literature, history, political science, ethics and international law (George, 2011). He was also fascinated with extracurricular activities. This made him to be appointed the president of the Harvard Liberal Club, general secretary of the New England Model League of Nations, and President of the Phillips Brooks House. His involvement in voluntary service for the latter got him working with boys club and this formed a crucial platform for his fruitful career in adult education and social service.
Malcolm Knowles went on to work with the National Youth Administration in Massachusetts where he was responsible for establishing the skills requirements for local employers and establish a course for the entire study body and teach those skills to the young people. In the course of this work he met Professor Eduard Lindeman...

When I was going through those awkward pre-teen years that everyone seems to experience between the ages of 12 and 16, I tried to rebel through music. That didn't go too well. (In retrospect, my parents would have done well to realize that music isn't that dangerous a rebellion compared to what would follow, but none of us knew that at the time, so listening to "crappy pop music with an unhealthy message" did seem like a serious transgression.) Mom and Dad didn't allow Britney Spears in the car or the house, so I was reduced to listening in secret whenever they went out. When I copied my cousins' Backstreet Boys' Millennium album onto tape, I had to fish it out of the garbage can one day, much to my horror. Mom and Dad allowed only what they liked, which was classical music, the Beatles' Abbey Road, a few jazz CDs, and an old tape of the Fine Young Cannibals, The Raw and The Cooked, that we used for family dances in the kitchen.
I argued, cried, wrote letters of protest, and fought. It wasn't fair that I couldn't listen to music I liked (or thought I liked — Britney now makes me seriously doubt my taste at that age), but Mom and Dad remained firm. They didn't approve of the messages of overt sexuality, of violence, of misogyny, of who knows what else. They didn't like the lifestyle of pop stars ("They use drugs!"), nor the history of rock music ("It's music to incite rebellion and it makes you act wild!"). After discovering Bob Marley on a road trip to Montreal, I came home excited that I'd finally found a compromise, but the (unsurprising) answer was, "No — marijuana." You can imagine the pent-up frustration on my part.
Finally I discovered a crack in their rules. They were fine with almost any kind of music that wasn't sung in English. I chose not to challenge the logic or assumptions in this rule and decided, rather, to take advantage of it. I discovered the Putumayo recording company and began stocking up on "world" music. My CD collection looked wholly unlike any other teenager's I knew, with titles such as "Music from the Tea Lands," "Jewish Odyssey," "Rumba Flamenco," "Global Soul," "Greece," "Brasileiro" (the start of a love affair with Brazilian music!), "Italian Odyssey," "Afro-Latin Party," and "Latin Groove." Over the course of a few years, I became a self-trained expert (of sorts) on the global music scene.
Believe it or not, I carried on terribly embarrassing conversations with major crushes that went like, "Yeah, my favourite song is Ya Rayah … what, you don't know it? …. it's, like, one of the most famous Arabic songs!" (And I wondered why they always seemed scared off…) At one point I could also sing along to the hour-long, non-stop Bollywood hits CD that I brought home from India because I listened to it so much that my dad imposed a two-times-a-day limit. Fun fact: when Sex and The City II came out, I could sing along to Leiley, the wonderfully exotic Arabic song that plays as the girls arrive in Abu Dhabi; I've known that song for years!
My parents' rigidity had a number of effects. It encouraged me to explore beyond the typical, usually low-quality pop music that many teens listen to. Although there are many wonderful English-singing artists out there, I probably would have been stuck in the mainstream for a while and I managed to avoid that. It certainly planted the seed for a lifelong love of international music since that's primarily what I still listen to. At the same time, however, it stunted my knowledge of local music and made it much harder to discover, and even appreciate, Canadian artists. Because I've spent so many years listening to instruments instead of lyrics, I tend to ignore lyrics even when they're sung in English. Worst of all, though, my collection of world music made me seriously uncool at a time when being cool matters a lot. Oh well, I suppose I've recovered from that trauma, though it still rankles at times, and must catch up on my Canadian musical education, so if you have any suggestions, please toss them my way.

Three rocks, a few burnt pines, a lone chapel
and farther above
the same landscape repeated starts again:
three rocks in the shape of a gateway, rusted,
a few burnt pines, black and yellow,
and a square hut buried in whitewash;
and still farther above, many times over,
the same landscape recurs level after level
to the horizon, to the twilit sky.
Here we moored the ship to splice the broken oars,
to drink water and to sleep.
The sea that embittered us is deep and unexplored
and unfolds a boundless calm.
Here among the pebbles we found a coin
and threw dice for it.
The youngest won it and disappeared.
We put to sea again with our broken oars.

It's Official......
......I am a slob.
Now this is not news to my closest friends. Nor is it really news to me.
My sewing room is so out of sorts that I'm not able to really function. This is my place of refuge - sewing calms me down and relieves stress for me. When it's this bad, it's not a happy place. I've been blowing and going on projects since October (and trust me - the place wasn't all that tidy before that). It's time to step back and deal with the mess before moving forward.
This is my cutting table after one whole night of putting stuff away. It's still cluttered.
One of my earliest blog entries was in January 2006 - scroll through it... see the corner that's all clean? See the last blue tub on the sewing table needing to be cut down into scrapsaver sizes?
Two years later - here's my reality. See the blue tub? It still has the original scraps in it plus more on top. See the corner? See the additional overflowing box? Good gravy! If I wasn't so "thrifty" (translation: cheap), I would chuck it all and start over. I love scrap quilts, and am a true believer that I can create really cool things out of leftovers and trash. It's not the value I would be throwing away; it's the possiblities.
Okay. So the challenge is to cut up all the scraps so that I can actually clean the floors. But wait! The most popular size of strips these days is 2-1/2". My 2-1/2" strip bin is almost full! Whatever should I do?
Okay. Here's the plan. I printed off a couple of patterns from Bonnie's Quiltville site that uses 2-1/2" wide pieces. I'll make a couple of leader/ender kits as I go! That's the ticket!
But do I really have the time this idea will take? Probably not, but I'll give it my best shot.
And then we find a compromise.

Though this spring's Boston Calling Music Festival is far lighter on electronic music than its September predecessor, one homegrown act will certainly representing the genre well.
The Brooklyn-based, Boston/Providence-born Magic Man will be opening the Saturday slate of the three-day music fest at City Hal Plaza, and after today, they may have far greater attention. Rolling Stone just premiered their new video for single "Paris," and you can watch that clip below.
"Paris," a shimmering synthpop jam that creeps up into your brainspace and chills there for the night with a glass of port and a good book, is off Magic Man's EP, You Are Here. The video, directed by Mimi Cave, is a bit of a surreal jaunt complete with headless bodies and the band out in the woods somewhere. It's where we want to be.
Also, #ICYMI, be sure to check out Magic Man's irresistible electro-pop remix of Skaters' "Miss Teen Massachusetts," which dropped a few weeks ago.

Tired of TurboTax Tim?
Posted by cann0nba11 on April 3, 2009
The Treasury Secretary has problems with basic math… he somehow lost $100B of TARP money. He failed to pay his taxes and blamed TurboTax for the omission. But, Team Obama thinks that he is the ONLY person in the world that can fix the economy, never mind the fact that he was overseeing organizations that contributed to the very problem he has now been hired to "fix." (you can't make this stuff up!)
So, I ask all of you to do your part as patriotic Americans and help Timmy out. Please send him a calculator. Or two. The therapeutic value alone is certainly worth $3.99, right?

The Treasury Secretary has problems with basic math… we need to flood his office with calculators. Joe Biden says it's "time to pitch in, time to be patriotic." Please, do your part. The future of American depends on it.

With two daughters who are now in their early to mid-20s, I've learned a thing or two about what college girls need. Not just on campus, but also on study abroad trips, spring breaks, and for post-grad couch surfing. I've helped assemble many a base kit like the one I'm recommending here.
Granted, some items were initially met with eye rolls and a Seriously, Mom? When this happened I just stuffed it in their bags anyway, pushed them out the door with an "Okay Byeeeeeee" and waited. Six months later came the grudging confession that yes, the items had proved useful. Occasionally, there was an expression of gratitude. "Mommy, you're such a dork. But thanks. It wasn't completely ridiculous."
(Translation: You're the best mom ever. And you were right. I don't know what I'd do without you.)
That's about the highest form of praise you'll get out of a college kid who thinks they know everything. I'll take it.
There's no rule that says you have to buy everything on this list. If you're in the market for great gift ideas for a college girl or graduate (or even for yourself, if you're a hardcore traveler), pick and choose what you like or can afford. Or not. These are just my "best of the best" suggestions based on personal experience with what works. Ultimately, you're the best judge. Also, if you find and would prefer to use cheaper versions of the items listed, go for it. (Just don't blame me if it fails or otherwise disappoints!)
Sidebar for Cash-Strapped Folks: There's no reason why a single person should have to shoulder the entire cost of this kit. Get your relatives involved! What good is family if you can't pass the hat? Make it a group Belated Graduation Gift.
Which brings us to Dopp. You may have noticed this isn't your average dollar store toiletries bag. The market is flooded with options, but Dopp by LiveWell360 is my bag of choice because (1) it is constructed to last; (2) it has a unique shape that accommodates longer odd-sized items (and more of them); and (3) it features a backpack-friendly footprint that is easier to pack and tuck into tight, narrow spaces.
If you are unfamiliar with the life of the average college student, let me clue you in. They live hard. Stuff gets banged around, dragged, thrown, dropped, crammed into tight spaces, spilled on, dropped in the toilet, and worse. A cheap toiletry kit may fall apart or turn really disgusting before the end of the semester, with a zipper that's likely jammed or broken. (The transparent ones are the worst. I fell for the whole "Look, you can see all your contents from the outside!" concept, but soon found that the cheap plastic covering which gleamed like fine crystal when I bought it, quickly turned into a cat-scratched, film-covered mess that no amount of soaking, wiping or scrubbing would fix.)
Anyhoo. Back to Dopp. Here's the bonus: it holds not just toiletries, but a night shirt and pants that can be reconfigured into a new outfit the next day. Let's take a look inside.
(To purchase any of the items, click the title links listed below the infographic.)
1. LiveWell 360 Dopp Toiletries Bag, $37 at LiveWell 360. All its virtues are listed above. The trick to making this work is advance planning and packing. And then stowing it away. As far as you're concerned, until the day you wake up in a bed that's not your own, every item in there is like an Oompa Loompa at Willy Wonka's factory:
It never comes out.
Except, of course, for needed refills, or to be laundered. It's helpful to always remember that this kit is a duplicate set of grab-and-go items. Don't go mixing it up with your daily rotation stash of personal care products.
I've bought and own every LiveWell360 bag ever made (some twice over for gifts), and all are top quality. (If your college girl also needs a workhorse of a backpack for hauling books, electronics and gear in style, check out the LiveWell 360 Backpack.)
Let's look step-by-step at how I fit all the featured items into Dopp, plus a whole lot more…with room to spare!
2. Vigilant 130dB Personal Student Emergency Alarm with LED Light, $17 on Amazon. No one wants to think about it. No one wants to talk about it. But I'm gonna. Because I have two daughters and I don't mess around when it comes to their safety or well-being. As we learned from our favorite women's self-defense expert Felicia in a previous post here, it's critical to make noise – BIG noise – whenever we find ourselves under attack. So a girl can't go wrong with this in her palm. Thankfully, no one I know has ever had to use one in a time of need, but that's not the point. If its mere presence does nothing more than provide peace of mind, along with a tangible reminder to remain vigilant of one's surroundings at all time, it's a good investment.
3. Every Drop Beauty Spatula, $7 on Amazon. Ask any woman to empty her makeup bag right now, and you'll find a tube or container of her favorite something that's almost gone, worn down to the nub. Beauty products can be quite expensive. Nobody wants to throw away a container that still contains product, which is the equivalent of setting money on fire.
Help a struggling student stretch her beauty dollars with this handy little tool for scraping the last bits out of even the tiniest crevices.
4. Gap PureBody Essentials T-shirt Dress, $40 at The Gap. The most comfortable nightshirt-slash-pajamas ever made. Added bonus: in an emergency wardrobe crisis (like waking up in someone else's flat the next day with a suspicious amount of hot wing sauce all over your clothes), this can double as a shirt over leggings if you tie one side in a knot. I got lucky and paid much less for mine, thanks to a Gap 50% off sale with free shipping. While random, they do cycle around pretty consistently, so join their email list for sale alerts.
5. VioLife Slim Sonic Travel Toothbrush, $15 on Amazon. Every college student can use a discreet option that lets her take the benefits of sonic tooth brushing on the road. Comes with spare AAA batteries, an extra brush head, and is a completely self-contained unit (no contamination worries, regardless of how junky and nasty her purse gets). Many cute designs to choose from, slim profile.
6. SmartMouth Mouthwash, Travel Size (Pack of 10), $9 on Amazon. Added insurance for #5. Because sometimes brushing and mints won't cut it. And a mouthwash guaranteed to keep breath fresh for 12 hours (rinse before bed, wake up without morning breath!), plus eliminate strong food odors like garlic and onion, is worth its weight in gold. SmartMouth was developed by a dentist, and many users (self-included) proclaim it to be the most effective mouthwash on the market. Also comes in larger quantity bottles for regular home use.
7. FLOSSCARD Dental Floss in Credit-Card Shaped Dispenser (Pack of 10), $14. Because talking to somebody on a date or at the club with food still stuck between your teeth, is not cute. The only downside is that you might pull it out by accident to try to pay for food and drinks. Look before you grab.
8. doTerra Fractionated Coconut Oil, $13 on Amazon. This is a must have for any woman's beauty toolkit, whether age 19 or 99. When space is at a premium, you can leave most everything else behind and rely on this jack-of-all-trades beauty secret. Want to learn how? Allure Magazine lists these 21 Unexpected Beauty Uses for Coconut Oil.
9. ShowerPill The Athletic Body Wipe (Pack of 10), $10 on Amazon. Because there's not always enough time (or available facilities) to take a shower between the gym and class. Or class and work. Or work and date. Or date and…whatever. You get the picture. These body wipes are awesome, like a shower in a bag.
10. Bocco Leak-Proof Travel Bottles (set of 4), $24 on Amazon. For whatever random lotions, potions and gels are still needed. Which shouldn't be much, thanks to the coconut oil.
11. Intimina Lily Cup, Compact – Collabsible Menstrual Cup, $40 on Amazon. She may be slow to come around to the idea at first, but trust me…the day will come when she's standing in the tampon aisle at CVS, down to her last $10 before the next infusion of cash. She'll look at the price on the box. Then back to her wallet. She'll remember the *free* Intimina, and make an instant decision to keep her money in her pocket. (Because beer.) There will be no turning back. Maybe later she'll also come to realize and appreciate that she's reducing her environmental footprint by keeping her periods completely waste-free. But right now, it's all about stopping the flow of cash spent every month on feminine hygiene products, to the tune of around $3,000 over a lifetime.
12. THINX Period-Proof Panties, $24 – $34 at SheThinx. OK. Speaking of periods. This product's a game changer. Not just for college women, but women EVERYWHERE. These are the panties you wear when you think your period is about to start. And while you're actually on your period (wicks away up to 2 tampon's worth, without leaking), whether that's a routine day or hiking eight hours outdoors with no bathroom access. And, also, when your period is tapering off.
So, pretty much half of any woman's childbearing life.
Periods and what they represent keep humanity going (literally), therefore are nothing for women to be ashamed of. Still. That doesn't mean we want to wear them like billboards, or spend our lives obsessing over its poor timing. THINX eliminates all that. They've changed my life. They'll change her life. And by her, I mean ALL the hers. I'm convinced women the world over will begin investing in THINX as simply a necessary part of our wardrobes, much the same way we invest in bras. Sure, they cost more than regular underwear. But when paired with a menstrual cup like Intimina (there are other great cup brands like Lunette, but none that I've found which collapse flat into their own carrying case), they eliminate the need for a student – or any woman – to ever have to spend another dime on disposable liners, pads or tampons.
What's better, your purchase of THINX helps a girl in the developing world. I was shocked to learn that "100 million girls in the developing world fall behind in school because of their periods, forcing many of them to eventually drop out." (Source: SheThinx.com)
That is a [censored] crime.
If you're a girl in a developed country lucky enough to be enrolled in an institution of higher learning, you might want to stop and take a moment to think about the global implications of that. Thankfully, there's something you can do today to help. Spend your period dollars responsibly. Beer will still be there tomorrow.
(And, oh yeah. Call your parents – or whomever made the sacrifices for you to be where you are – to say thanks.)
13. Zella "Live In" Leggings, $52 at Nordstrom. Cheap leggings for a college student is folly. At the rate at which they wear them (near daily), they'll be full of holes, tears and pilling within weeks. How do I know this? More than once, when they were on a semester break, I caught my daughters trying to leave the house with me wearing leggings that had rips in some very unseemly spots, which they thought was well-camouflaged by some flowy peasant blouse, or long jacket. (It was not.)
Me: Oh my God. I hope you didn't wear those to class. Or on study abroad.
Her: [Pause]
Me: You did, didn't you?
Her: [Blank stare]
Me: Seriously?
Her: [Shrugs] "Broke people problems, Ma."
When I was coming up, the only people you saw walking around in leggings were Jane Fonda, that chick from the movie Flashdance and the occasional streetwalker on Miami Vice. They were spandex – spandex! – and they were fabulous, but nobody took them seriously as a fashion statement. (We had designer jeans, whose creases we would stay up late nights and meticulously iron with Niagara spray starch. Funky fresh. Gotta love the 80s.)
Times change. Leggings, or their close cousin yoga pants, have become the uniform of choice for today's college girls. They wear them everywhere: to the gym, under dresses and tunics, and just hanging out around campus. They are also a study abroad staple since they take up minimal packing space. Every girl needs a reliable, long-lasting pair that will resist rips and hold up over repeat washings. These Zellas are the ones. They cost more, but are worth it.
14. Mane Street Elastic Hair Ties, $9 on Amazon. The perfect hair tie-slash-scrunchy-slash-ponytail holder. Does not tear or pull the hair the way typical elastic bands do. Best of all, they can be worn on the wrist until needed, bohemian bracelet-style. Except for those who have short hair or a pixie cut, I don't know of a single girl who's not always on the hunt for one.
So those are some of the more unique items you may not have thought of. But you're not done yet. There's still plenty of room left in the Dopp, so it's time to head to Target, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond or [insert your town's equivalent here] to top this kit off with some basics.
Each of these discount retailers has a special aisle devoted to travel-sized beauty and toiletry items, usually sold for about $1 each. Not everything that lands in these bins is of equal quality, so be selective. Grab a tiny deodorant, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, Airborne, Advil, pack of tissues, etc. Then head over to the hair aisle and pick up a pack of bobby pins. And so on. Go wild.
It's not the sexiest gift. But it will likely be the one she comes to appreciate most, and she'll be reminded of your thoughtfulness over and over again whenever she hauls it out for her next adventure. Every time I turn around, my daughters are heading off somewhere, even if it's just to hang out with friends in the city and then crash at someone's apartment closer in. I've heard first hand that their travel kit, which they often keep stored in the back of their car "just in case," has come in handy and been well-used.
We now live in a globally-connected world. Millennials and their younger counterparts seem more mobile, transient and filled with a wanderlust more readily indulged than that of previous generations. Walking around looking homeLESS, just because you didn't wake up at home, does not appear to be trending at the moment. Fashions come and go, but girls still want to look presentable, no matter where their travels take them.
A well-packed Dopp won't help her solve world hunger. But when a young woman learns and practices the art of being prepared and well-organized, it has a way of creeping into other areas of her life. And that's a good thing.
Success leaves clues.

public television is experiencing a dead end… this is the sentiment of cameroonian film artist, and critical thinker, jean pierre bekolo obama… jean pierre has recently joined the ranks of input, as one of the organisations creative shock troops… "the very definition of what tv is, needs to be reconsidered. there is a regression in what we see, or what we know. television right now is teaching us less and less about ourselves and the other. you find more and more social problems based on ignorance. how tv is being used right now is causing people to be more ignorant." this latest addition to the input shopsteward family, says he believes in contributing to story spaces like input, because it allows for free and critical thinking… author of such critical african pieces as quarterly mozart and les saignantes, jean pierre is pre- occupied with re- inventing africa's image… here, initiatives like input have a role to play… "africa has only one problem, how it's represented all over the world… public television is doing more harm than good for the growth of africa.
in the beginning there was no tv
jean pierre was born in the town of yaunde in cameroon. "i grew up without television. when tv started in cameroon in 1986, i got hired as an editor. thousands of people came to be part of tv, there was a big test and only twenty got hired." in 1988 jean pierre won a scholarship to go to paris to study at the ina (institute national audiovisual). subsequently jean pierre has taught film at various universities in the states. "right now i prefer to focus on my films," he says.
africa on tv
for jean pierre, public television on the continent needs to concede to wishes of the people. "tv is the extension of a public space, therefore an integral part of the democratic process. it should be something for the common good. the need for accountability is more pronounced. making business from public tv should be seriously reconsidered."
correcting africa's image
he warns that there are no quick fix solutions; "first we need to acknowledge the damage," says jean pierre. "there is a tendency to think everything is fine without considering the devastation caused in the past. we need to do a proper diagnostic before we try to move forward." jean pierre remains positive about the future of storytelling in africa. "if the problem is the image then the solution is also the image." as a parting shot, jean pierre issues a challenge to all input delegates; "input 2008 may be just another missed opportunity if we don't address the image of africa in relation to tv."

during the class the placenta came up and she asked us if we knew what we were going to do with it. i had tossed around a few ideas, thinking i might make a salve or encapsulate them, but the cost was a little much for us and so we were still up in the air. i had heard of burying the placenta from sites i came across on placenta services, and even joked about doing just that in our backyard to scare away our neighbors that annoy us. but it became very clear at the end of our class what we were going to do with it when jennifer had us flip over our pictures and talk about them.
i drew a representation of what kind of sort of looked like a blobby mama holding her blobby baby, maybe? and they were encompassed by a circle of some sort with what looked like a tree trunk and roots. flipping it over, it sort of looked like they were inside of a placenta (i was really just drawing whatever came to me after about a minute of meditating on the subject). my husband drew a tree with some cute critters in it, representing us and our family, including the soon-to-be addition. we each talked about what we felt the pictures were of and then jennifer gave her insight on both of them. basically, she felt as though each picture, though different, represented the same thing: being rooted in our family with a deep connection to the birth via the tree of life, or, the placenta. which really made me realize that we should definitely bury the placenta.
i wasn't quite sure what burying it would mean to us, i just knew that's what we should do, so i began to look up cultural traditions and rituals for the burial of the placenta. i came across a lot of unique and beautiful ceremonies, but they weren't representative of who we were and what meant the most to us, so i took bits and pieces from here and there and created a ceremony of sorts that really spoke to me. i incorporated a ceremonial saying from this blog, three verses from the bible, and a poem that i found that is so beautiful. i knew i also wanted to make some prints with the placenta to hang in our home and gift to jennifer and megan, so i planned for that as well.
we invited my husband's sister and her boyfriend, as well as my dad, over to be a part of the ceremony and help take video (which i stupidly deleted!) and photos. it was a very intimate and sweet ceremony that i feel was unique to us and spoke from our hearts (even though i pretty much took over and planned the whole thing because i'm obsessive like that).
two days prior to the ceremony, i pulled our placenta out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator to defrost. the day of, i pulled out our leftover chux pads from our home birth kit (i don't know how we had any leftover considering how long my labor was and how many we went through during that time!) and some medical gloves i brought home from the hospital for oliver to play with, gathered up some sheets of paper and put the placenta on the chux.
(while in the hospital, megan told me that while she was examining my placenta, she found a large extra lobe. it was pretty incredible to hear that, but was shocked that both of my scans didn't detect this extra lobe. so i was most anxious and intrigued to be able to see this lobe for myself when checking out the placenta. i was hoping to include the lobe in my prints, but the caul was still attached to it, so i couldn't get it to stretch away from the main lobe.)
once i had the placenta laid out, i placed a piece of (acid free, 11x14 size) paper on top of it and pressed lightly all over, including the cord. when i pulled it up, it looked amazing! i couldn't believe how much it looked like a tree! and on the first print, i just so happened to catch a heart shape almost dead center. after making the rest of the prints and laying them out to dry, i packed the placenta back up and put it back in the refrigerator until my husband got home from work and everyone came over.
when my husband got home, we prepped the ground by digging a hole, got the silver dollar jade we received as a gift in the hospital out of it's pot and placed the placenta and gloves out on another chux pad by the planting site. everyone showed up and we had our little ceremony. i'd like to share with you what we read.
we are gathered here as a family with the creatures of the earth who are waiting to receive the placenta. now it is time to claim some meaning for the burying of joseph's placenta:
the earth, like the womb, is our origin.
the earth, like the placenta, sustains us.
by burying joseph's placenta, the birth companion, and honoring it, we are reminded of our intimate link with the earth and all the creatures that come from it and return to it.
so joseph; though you don't yet understand it, we are here to bury your birth companion. once, it linked you to your mother, your sustainer, now, it links you to the earth, which sustains us all, even as it sustains the silver dollar jade we hope will grow through out your life. once, it allowed your intimate relationship with one life, now it speaks of your intimate relationship with all life.
may the earth provide all the nutrients, faith, hope and love you need to live as one who knows where he came from.
pslam 139:13-15
'13 for you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 i praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, i know that full well. 15 my frame was not hidden from you when i was made in the secret place, when i was woven together in the depths of the earth.'
my husband then placed the placenta in the ground and covered it with the dirt (with olivers help), while bry read this poem:
at the beginning of this world, i was part of you.
made from the same luminous fabric, flesh of your flesh, of our father and mother's being.
as we grew, we separated but united. i fed you, breathed for you, became a pathway for the flushing currents of our mother's blood.
as you slept, i was your cradle and your guard; when you awoke, i was your companion.
together for that last day, i leashed you the very limits of our linking line before releasing you to the touch of others; but surely none will hold you as nearly, as sweetly, or as softly as i did.
as our connection was severed, you wept for me once, then were gone.
carry me deep in your heart as you bury me in the soil of our home, for i am the earth of your making.
(katie alice, 2002)
then my husband planted the silver dollar jade and watered it. we all took in a deep breath and a moment of silence, then took our first photo as a family of five.
were you able to keep your placenta? what did you end up doing with it? i'm curious of the different types of ways mother's and families honor the placenta.

Listen to the quiet...
God in Heaven, show me mercy, grace. Whisper only pure thoughts to me during the next few weeks. Thoughts that I may share, that others will see the meaning of Christmas in me.

Paul was writing these words while he was in chains in prison. He was arrested for preaching the gospel. Everything in his surroundings shouted "limitations," but instead of looking at his surroundings, Paul kept his eyes on the limitless God. He kept looking for the open door of opportunity that God would have for him next.
No matter what "chains" you may feel like you are in today, remember, we serve a God who's in the business of setting people free. Remember, He has equipped you with His power. He's promised to walk with you all the days of your life. When doors look closed all around you, when your surroundings look limited, when you feel like you're in chains, remember, God is still at work in your life.
Like Paul, keep your hopes up. Keep expecting. Keep believing. Pray for those opportunities to be opened to you. If you fall, get right back up and press forward with even greater determination to accomplish the dream that God has planted in your heart. The prayer of the righteous avails much, so keep praying because He promises to break the chains and open doors of opportunity in your life.
Father in heaven, I choose to take my eyes off my surroundings and focus on You. I choose to focus on the passion and dream You've planted in my heart. I trust that You are working behind the scenes, opening doors of opportunity. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
(Thank you Jill)

No time for worry, stress, running, franticly purchasing the wrong gift. The perfect gift...Jesus! Without Christ, there is no CHRISTmas. Why not celebrate Him. Take your children to the mall, pick a name from the "Angel Tree". Celebrate by donating food to a soup kitchen or your favorite homeless ministry. Even volunteer there. Together as a family put together a shoe box, or two. Just be together, be still, in his word, celebrate his birth, and the meaning of his birth.
A fond memory I have of Mamaw...each year the five of us, (closest grandchildren), put up her tree and had yummy treats. She always had something on her counter for our sweet tooth. we always celebrated the Advent each week. A very important part of Christmas.
Something to think about-
40 gifts of Hope
1,000 hours of prayer I challenge each of you here...
Teach them
Advent Conspiracy
If you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto thee.

-James 1:3
I have learned much through studying God's word and meditating on God's promises. But I also learn by the way I see God working through the experiences of my life. For instance, after a long series of tests and illnesses, I learned that our walk with Jesus Christ goes through valleys of loneliness and suffering, shadows and light, that lead us to green pastures where our God feeds us.
When I have felt abandoned, God's word has said to me: "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor. 12:9). After reading that, I felt new strength. At dawn one day, when deep pain in my leg was keeping me awake, I felt Jesus' consolation and peace. After that, I was able to fall asleep.
Through trust in God's promises, which are reinforced by my own experiences, I have learned to wait patiently for God's answers to my concerns. Even when the storm surrounds me and my ship looks like it is about to sink, I can be patient because I know that Christ's light will lead me safely to a peaceful harbor.
(Jesús Quintanilla Osorio)
Read Romans 5: 1-5
Little is much if God is in it.

-Matthew 25:36
My friend Julie was sick with a chronic, mysterious affliction that had her living on liquid protein and pain medications. As her weight dropped to under 100 pounds, our conversations nearly always centered on her symptoms and my suggestions: "Maybe you should try this - or this - or this. ..."
After a while, I had nothing to say; I couldn't pray anymore. Julie wasn't healed, and she wasn't getting better. I wanted to avoid her because I couldn't find a remedy for her illness. Then one day, while reading about the king who said, "I was sick, and ye visited me," I saw with new eyes what the Lord expected of me. The king didn't say, "I was sick, and you healed me," or "I was sick, and you gave me all the right answers to fix the situation." The king said, "You visited me."
How marvelously simple! I realized that what my friend needed was my care. By caring about those who are sick - giving of our time, not solutions - we touch the heart of God. Ministering to those who are sick is not about our ability to solve problems or offer advice. It's about letting people know that they are not alone. It's about showing that God cares for them, and so do we.
(Leslie J. Wyatt)
God, help us give our time to those who need us. Open our eyes to see their real needs. Amen.

I believe...
My wife and I reared two children and prepared for our golden years. Then our daughter's marriage failed. She and our three grandchildren came to live with us. Now we are six people in a small frame house. My wife and I are back at work, and our plans for a leisurely life have been placed on hold. We went through a range of emotions and eventually settled in self-pity. By the third year, however, we began to look at ourselves and our circumstances from a different point of view - because of God's word.
The Lord asked Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother?" "I know not" was Cain's response. Then Cain asked a question, the first question human beings asked of God: "Am I my brother's keeper?"
The disciples had questions too. They came to Jesus as he sat on the Mount of Olives. As he talked with them, Cain's age-old question was answered. The Lord described our obligation to care for and to provide for others, that when we do this we are caring for Christ. (See Matt. 25:40.) Can we indeed drink of his cup, bear the cross, and lay down our lives for "the least of these"? We can and must. Without question, Jesus makes God's business our own. When we care for those in need, we care for Christ.
(Tom Henson)
Do you believe in what things you do not see, can not touch? During the children's sermon Ricky asked, "What is Faith?".
I love the metaphor of a chair...Find the chair closest to you. Look at it closely. Examine its design. Is it structurally sound? Is it sufficiently engineered? Will the materials chosen by the manufacturer support your weight?
Most likely, you picked a chair that you believe will support you. That's belief. You applied logic, knowlege and experience to make an informed intellectual decision.
Now sit in the chair...That's faith! At one point, intellectual assent only goes so far. True living requires that we put our beliefs into action. Intellectual belief without actionable faith is hollow and meaningless...
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -Hebrew 11:1
Lord, "let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth". Amen.
I so much enjoyed my visit with Todd and Jill. I knew I would take them to Cades Cove, and I'm glad I did. It was a perfect day. Examining the old log structures, I found Joy in watching Todd and Jill do the same. They thrive on it. But as I really examined each one, I was also thinking. In the pioneer day, when people lived so simply, were they not humbled, joyful. Like other Christian folk, they built Churches and their belief in the Bible was the source of their strength in such a challenging environment. In particular, the Cades Cove settlement provides proof of the abilities and determination of this Early American Scotch-Irish culture. I found this interesting article...
Early Thursday morning, we head North, far North...the longest distance in this country I've been. Ohio is very flat...unlike the mountains and valleys here in East Tennessee which I am so fond of and couldn't trade anything for. Northern Ohio is beautiful...breath taking. Miles and miles of farm land, undeveloped, which I love. We traveled many hours to arrive at our Mount Vernon destination. Friday morning we head out. God surely directed my path as I drove, forever it seemed. Getting lost several times along the way. Roadways are not marked, construction re routes me in places I don't need to be. Finally I arrive at my destination and it makes the trip worth it. Of course, I thank a sweet gentleman whom I don't know, and will most likely never see again. I traveled down the same road at least three times before spotting him standing out in his driveway. We decide he is our last hope. He draws a map to the town we need to be...then I call the Miller's and sweet Linda directed us right to her door. I surely don't expect to see an early cabin in this place that we've traveled to, but there it is, serene, beautiful in its manner. Ralph and Linda Miller are lovely hosts. As we arrived to great food, (we hadn't eaten since 9 that morning), Linda is all smiles. Her shop brimming with wonderful aromas of Christmas...early painted furniture and smalls. Todd and Jill take us up to the cabin, and it surely is a wonderful home...we were greeted at the door by wagging tails. Mac and Charlie Gibson are great door greeters. We find sweet Claire nestled in the cozy bed upstairs. Loyal companions these three are.
We have no idea how to make our way back to the warm, dry comforts of our hotel, so Todd leads the way...directing us safely back to Mount Vernon. As I lay in bed, I was thankful that God kept us safe in our travels, placing the gentleman at just the right time...he always does that you know. We are never lost, if we have faith that he will direct our path.
Early Saturday morning, we head over to the Dan Emmit Conference Center. They've built a nice fire to keep the anxious shoppers warm. It was overwhelming how everything inside had changed since we were first there on Thursday afternoon before all the wonderful artists and dealers had set up all their lovely booths. So much to see...I wanted to photo all the lovely booths, but for respect, I did not...I'll post when Candy shares the show pictures. She and sister Max, (and all their family and friends) did an outstanding job promoting this show. Great hosts they are.
I was most thankful for this time away to fellowship with old friends, and new ones too. I am most thankful for my dear friend Delores for reading maps and directing me too...most of all I'm thankful God directed us safely there and back home. It was also good to know I was missed:)

Too much...Not enough...

Miss Prudence sharing her gifts
Appearing forlorn, the little girl crouched in the corner of the ward near a woman with bandaged limbs. She was there to spend her school vacation with her mom. But her mother was no ordinary patient, and this was no ordinary ward. This was a mission to treat those with Hansen's Disease. It was not exactly a place you'd expect a little girl to spend her vacation.
During my visit there, I witnessed the impact of leprosy on people and their loved ones. I thought about the passage in 2 Kings 5, and I could imagine how desperate Naaman must have been to be cured. When he heard about Elisha, Naaman went to the prophet's door, only to have a messenger tell him to wash in the Jordan River. Despite his anger and mis-givings, Naaman acted on God's direction that came through the prophet and was rewarded with a miracle.
Like Naaman, I've found that God's directions don't always make sense to me. They may challenge my understanding of how to deal with my circumstances. But when I act in faith on what the Bible says, its promises prove true. What God has promised will surely come to pass because God is trustworthy.

Phone rings...
for thou Lord only makest me dwell in safety
Phone rings late...for my house anyway. It's Deena! My silly, funny friend who I love so very much. She always makes me laugh. I think I make her laugh also with my "country talk"...she calls me sweetie. So, she shares with me the best news...out shopping, cell phone rings, has no idea how to turn off speaker...MRI shows that the tumors that are not gone are less than half the size they were originally. So excited, I hope I remember it correctly. Quickly, I whisper, "Thank you Lord for this miracle". "HE" is using Deena in such a way...a way that has touched so many lives, even those who are well, healthy. She has brought such joy to my life since first meeting her years ago, Pre cancer. Yet she's still the same Deena.
God in Heaven, today I thank you for the miracle of healing, answered prayers, hope, lasting friendships. Let me remember these moments which bring warmth to my heart.
Busy without God
The two disciples walking on the road to Emmaus were so busy in their thoughts and in their discussion that they did not recognize Jesus when he began to walk with them. How this story reminds me of my walk with Jesus!
As a Christian leader and trainer, I often find myself extremely busy in ministry, training ministers in spiritual formation and Christian leadership. Recently, though, I have realized that in doing so much work "in the name of God," I have neglected a basic element in my own life of faith: intimacy with God and growth in my personal spiritual formation.
When we become busy in our "doing" for God and forget to spend time in God's presence with scripture and prayer, we will find ourselves becoming tired and frustrated with our work. In our ministry for Christ, we miss Christ's ministry to us.
I have learned that I need to have intimate times with God constantly, even as I go about doing things for God. My Christian service has changed for the better as I have prayed, "Lord, help me and lead me as I daily serve you."
(Sammy N. Gumbe)
Faithful God, help us to be constantly aware of your presence. We seek your love and your wisdom as we spend our days serving you and those you call us to love. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Lee passed away on Saturday evening. The Dr. gave six months with not treatment options. I'm grieving with this family, but there is relief that he did not suffer. Pray for the family, and for Lee and Jill who will be making decisions about travel.
Thank you for the messages of concern. I know Todd & Jill thank you also. She is Jill Peterson- Frontier Homestead. Lee is Todd's brother.

True colors...
-Galatians 3:27
If we come to Christ, hungry, thirsty, starving for the friendship of the divine, we shall be filled in God's sacred silence.
My son and I attended a football game in a city three hours away from our home. As we settled into our seats, the air was full of excitement over the game about to be played.
Although we didn't personally know any of the other people in the stadium around us, we were immediately accepted into the group because we were all wearing the colors or jerseys of the home team. Regardless of who we were or where we traveled from, the only thing that mattered on game day was whose colors we were wearing.
As Christians, we are called to be clothed in Christ, spiritually wearing his "colors" of truth, faith, and love as boldly as any team jersey. And we are called to accept all who share our allegiance to Christ, even if their homes are far away or they are of a different nationality. At the football game, fans of many colors and ethnic backgrounds cheered together as one for their team. As Christians, let us make sure we're wearing Christ's colors.
(Larry Hashman)
Lord Jesus Christ, help us to be clothed in you in our interests and behavior. Give us boldness to live for you as openly and enthusiastically as we cheer for our sports teams. Amen.
~ "His" art scattered in colors of Fall throughout the Mountains here in my lil valley
~ Tidy landscaping filled with pumpkins galore (pics to come)
~ Lovely, Blessed Teachers
~ conversations with Deena
~ little surprises in the mail (unexpected simple thank you)
~ Mercy, Grace
~ Freedom

I think Tuesday was totally skipped from my life. How did I miss it? I need time...more time.
I took Cody to the Dr. He has a mild case of whiplash. Dr. wanted him to take meds, but Cody will not take a pill. I guess this is a good thing, but he really needed this medication.
We have the estimate for the damage. Oh my, I had no idea it would be so much. $2500. I tell you, I am so anxious to get a bill for the adjustment they will surely make on our premium. I don't pretend to understand how it works. I pay my premiums for years...no claims...then one claim, and the rates go outrageously high. I still count my blessings, it could be much worse.
Today is Deena's Autumn Open House...I have nothing for you. Lest you'd like to see 3 tiny pumpkins nesting in my old rusty green grass cutter. This is where my need for time comes. The summer flowers still linger, withered, ugly. I need to finish laundry, a project I started for my friend in NC months ago, clean the flower gardens, plant mums, place bittersweet. I won't think of starting Christmas offerings. When will that happen. I also have company coming in a few weeks...from Texas. My home needs to be welcoming for this dear soul. Positively, I have no time for worry. I gave Cody and Jesse-Ray to "Him" as they drove away in the fog this morn.
Lord, help me manage time, prioritize, slow down. Bring order to my chaos...Amen
My Joys-
* the promise
* late night bonfires (watching Mark return to childhood)
* morning fog...I won't have to take my morning walk
* the ministry of music - (Promise of a lifetime - Kutlass)

A humble thank you and...
The kindest of words have been sent to me over the past few days through email, and phone calls...each of you inspire, encourage. I will keep these words and thoughts hidden in my heart always. The scripture I shared on Saturday holds truth. Though I shall face trials, pain and suffering, I will stand firm. Nothing will separate me from the love of God. So I thank each of you, for visiting my blog, for the time you've taken to share thoughts, words of encouragement, care and concern. I wish you peace and smiles.
I will reply to each of you, just let me get settled with Cody, and we have to take care of the insurance stuff today...estimates, and such.
Yesterday the four of us rushed in from church, changed, and back out the door to Knoxville. It was AYSO day with the Lady Vols. I will share more tomorrow. I'm off to take Cody to the Dr. He is rarely sick, and her certainly is not one to complain, but He's complained this entire weekend with his head and neck hurting. From the accident? Not sure, but Sister Elaine says he needs to be checked.
Find a Blessing in this day my friends...

Silk Reflections Sandalfoot Pantyhose is rated out of 5 by 36.
Rated 5 out of 5 by VickieJ from Silky and Luxurious Slipping on these hose is a silky and delicious experience, but they continue to feel wonderful all day long. They fit perfect and look as good after a full day as they did when you first put them on. They stay in place and don't tend to ride up, pull down, or bunch up. They are not too warm on a summer day, but they do help stay warm on a cool day. I really like the Barely Black color, as well as the Jet. I do wish they came in some hues and tints, a little bit of fashion color, but that's just not in style right now, I wish it was. I'd probably be the only one buying it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by officesupplyfan from Good quality hose Although a little expensive, these are good quality hose. I have been wearing these for about ten months and am pleased with how long they last. Just remember that they're not L'eggs, so you'll have to use a more gentle approach when putting them on so as not to rip them!
Date published: 2012-12-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by EricAz from Great Fit! Great Product! I love how these feel and fit. As great as they are for evening wear, they are great in the daytime as well. They hold up well to multiple wearings.
Date published: 2013-09-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by 4Allison from Wonderful look and texture! These hose are a superb buy for their quality. They are sheer enough for a night out, and with little bit of shine! At the same time, they aren't so sheer that they run at first touch; so, they're great for work, too.
Date published: 2013-12-10
Rated 4 out of 5 by nickname275849 from I love the hose, but the color is off I love the way these hose feel! However I couldn't remember which color I liked I had a choice between Barely there and Little color. I ordered the Barely there and to me they look like a suntan color. I am having to return for Little Color which is more of the nude tone I was looking for. Think they need to work on the names.

having some sort of relapse or something, im trying to figure out what leads up to this and i think it might be online shopping, i haven't done it but for the past few days i have had the urge to do it but knowing my money needs to go to something more important has stopped me, but just now i've felt all the old feelings and i feel tired but im also feeling that not allowing me to sleep feeling.
so im writing this and then i am forcing myself to go to bed and hopefully things will be better when i wake up, seeing that familiar loss of hope again, but i have a little hope at least.

Shalom readers! (:
Those pictures that I captured were while waiting my brother back from work. About two hours waiting for him at the bus station, I was very bored, so I took some pictures and mood that captured my heart. *Not that good taking pictures using my phone actually.
