Dr. Charles "Chuck" Quarles is a professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Having worked through portions of his book, Sermon on the Mount: Restoring Christ's Message to the Modern Church, I think I'd like to audit a few of his classes! The book is volume 11 in a broader series, the NAC Studies in Bible & Theology, edited by E. Ray Clendenen. It is the first of the series that I've had the pleasure of reading. In some ways, the series reminds me of IVP's New Studies in Biblical Theology, but less "academic" and a bit broader. For instance, volumes often seem to veer more toward systematic theology and church life, such as one on the Lord's Supper and another on Baptism.
Quarles' contribution seems somewhat unique in the series in that, for all intents and purposes, it is a traditional Bible commentary, albeit one that covers only Matthew 5-7. So in the beginning, we find what we'd expect in a commentary: history of interpretation, canonical relationships, structure, theological framework, etc. We do not find, however, discussion of date, authorship, audience, or provenance, which he would have probably included had this been a full-blown commentary on Matthew.
Quarles takes a more or less conservative approach when it comes to the Sermon on the Mount (henceforth, "SM"). What I mean by that is he doesn't go down the road many in our day travel of labeling "poor in spirit" as materially poor or "hungering and thirsting for righteousness" as a desire for social and societal justice. Does he omit those referents? No, but his view is broader and, in my opinion, more balanced. This is the case throughout the commentary. "Balanced" is a fitting adjective of Quarles' work here.
"Profound" is another apt descriptor. I love Quarles' emphasis throughout on Inaugurated Eschatology: The "already and not-yet" of the Kingdom of God. He places the SM in the context of Israel's history and its speaker, Jesus, in his context as the greater eschatological Moses delivering a new law from a new mountain. While this is not a new or radical idea, it is one that is unknown to many in the church because of our biblical illiteracy on the one hand and our failure to read the Bible as one, grand redemptive narrative on the other hand. This biblical-theological context deals a death blow to treatments such as that of Emmet Fox, "The spiritual leader who revealed the true power of positive thinking", in his Sermon on the Mount: The Key to Success in Life (which, incidentally, was sent to me for review by mistake…I was supposed to get Scot McKnight's commentary but the publisher sent Fox's!). In this light, I absolutely loved chapter 4, "The Theological Framework for Understanding the Sermon on the Mount." An extended quotation will sum up the chapter well:
Those who view the SM as an expression of impossible demands fail to interpret the sermon in light of the broad theological themes of Matthew's Gospel. These themes assure the reader that the disciples of Jesus have been divinely enabled to fulfill the teachings of the SM because (1) they have participated in the new exodus, (2) they have experienced the new creation, and (3) they are beneficiaries of the new covenant. (p. 21)
Each of these themes is succinctly developed, and the reader is well equipped to understand Matthew 5-7 in a profound way and avoid interpretive pitfalls as a result. Quarles connects all of Jesus' teaching in the SM to the theological themes of Matthew, and by extension, the whole of redemptive history.
Here's another quote "from the horses mouth" that I loved. The context he is referring to is the connection of Matthew 5:1-12 to Deuteronomy 33:29 and the whole story of Moses, the Exodus, and the formation of Israel. See if you can stomach it:
This background suggests that the Beatitudes are not mere expressions of ethical principles accompanied by rewards but are pronouncements of salvation that identify Jesus' disciples as the new Israel…Thus in the Beatitudes the new Moses pronounced the blessings of spiritual exodus (liberation from slavery to sin) and spiritual conquest (victory over spiritual enemies) to the new Israel. (pp. 29-40)
Quarles also places the SM in its soteriological context. What I mean by that is this: He clearly identifies the audience as those who are already disciples of Jesus. So as far as salvation is concerned, the SM isn't how to "get there", but rather how to live once we "are there." Quarles states,
[T]he SM was not primarily about how one entered the kingdom. Rather, it was a description of the character and conduct of those who already belonged to the kingdom. The SM is not a call to repentance; it is a description of the expression and evidences of true repentance. (p. 38)
He notes how the joyful consequences of God's blessing in Matt. 5:4, 6, and 7 are "divine passives" and they introduce the whole sermon. In reflecting on this "ordering", he writes, "This order suggests that the righteousness described in the sermon is a result of divine blessing rather than a requirement for divine blessing" (p. 42). Amen, and a helpful safeguard against reading works based righteousness into Jesus and hence pitting him and Paul against one another.
Perhaps one of the best compliments I can pay Quarles is to say that I was challenged in my own faith through his commentary. It is certainly "academic" in that it deals with real scholarship and interpretive issues. But, unlike many 21st century American parishioners, "academic" is not a cuss word for me; God gave us minds and asks us to use them in loving him and others. All that being said, while Quarles writes to the intellect, he also writes to the will and emotion of the Christian (which cannot be said of most commentaries). For instance, when speaking of the first Beatitude (Matt. 5:3), he writes,
Christ's message in this beatitude is that when individuals recognize their absolute inability to save themselves and cast themselves on Christ in total dependence on Him, He graciously reigns over them as King here and now and graciously promises them a part in His future kingdom. (p. 47)
Again, in reference to the second Beatitude (Matt. 5:4),
"Will be comforted" means that God will act to restore the broken relationship and bring the repentant mourner back into full fellowship with Himself. The sorrow of the sinner's exile from God will be replaced by the joy of His presence. (p. 54)
And again, in reference to the 4th Beatitude (Matt. 5:6), he writes,
A tiny infant can hunger and thirst, but that infant is utterly incapable of satisfying those longings alone. Similarly, a believer can never satisfy his hunger or quench his thirst for righteousness. Only a gracious God who transforms mind, heart, character, and behavior can do so. The lifestyle described by the SM is not the product of mere human effort. It is the result of transforming grace. (p. 61)
When it comes to the Beatitudes, it is hard to not be spiritually challenged! Quarles masterfully brings the meaning of the message to the modern reader.
"Restoring Christ's Message to the Modern Church." This subtitle is utterly appropriate. Jesus' message in the SM is incomprehensible apart from Jesus' context in redemptive history. Yet the way we approach the SM is often disconnected from said history, and as such we lose Christ's message. I am thankful to Dr. Quarles for making the message plain and accessible in this work. If you want a robust picture of the SM in context, take and read. You're mind will be better for it, as will your heart.

On cold and hot perspectives
Woke up to a cloudy day today, making me wonder if its time for the weather to start changing. Most days we've had really nice and bright sunny days, with clear blue skies, but it looks like the season is changing slightly now. The evenings are definitely cooler and the early mornings rather pleasant all of a sudden. I love going through the changes of seasons, that's one of the things I miss most about the US, since the seasons are very well defined there and each one is very different from the other. This morning it looks like winter outside and if you didn't know where you were, I could probably bundle up in my sweater and blanket and sip a hot cup of cocoa. Well, the ac is so effective, that most times one does need to bundle up a bit inside anyway.

Getting ideas off the ground is rarely easy. Alongside determination, having the idea in the first place and dare we say a bit of luck too, there's also the funding aspect. Whether it is someone tinkering with a new fastener concept in their shed, or a small business that doesn't have the resource to develop a prototype rivet tool, funding can often be the one major stumbling block for many an innovation, which are then left squandered on the work bench.
So, how do you get hold of some cash to see if your idea has legs? Forget Dragon's Den – there's cash available for innovative manufacturing projects without having to get up in front of those fearsome investors. While an appearance on the BBC programme famously ended up well for Jordan Daykin when Deborah Meaden signed up to support the fledgling GripIt Fixings, innovators will be no doubt pleased to hear they could be in line for a share of a £15 million fund without having to go on the telly and risking humiliation first.
The cash in question is coming from Innovate UK, a public body that reports into the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). The organisation is staffed by people from the business world and since 2007 has committed a considerable £1.8 billion to innovation, matched by a similar amount in partner and business funding, split across over 7,600 organisations.
For Innovate UK, the theory behind pledging this cash is to enhance UK competitiveness, growth and even improve national productivity. In practice, it's an opportunity for businesses to 'fasttrack' ideas and take them to commercial success using government money.
This time, Innovate UK is looking for innovative R&D projects, namely business-led ideas or concepts that can be drawn from any technology, engineering or industrial area.
Innovate UK has so far got behind everything from intelligent textiles – designed to reduce the weight burden of soldiers – to conductive paint for interactive electronics and alternative insulation materials for homes.
So before you dust off that prototype you've had in storage, you'll need to produce a feasibility study and potentially a proof of market. Only projects that are underway need apply – they'll be looking for industrial research and experimental development as part of your application. Innovate UK expects projects to last from six to 36 months and range in size from total eligible project costs of £25,000 up to £1 million. The competition is open to all UK companies, to small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies, working individually or collaboratively.
Innovate UK said: "Projects should demonstrate disruptive, cutting-edge innovations and businesses should demonstrate ambition and potential for growth." That last one shouldn't be a problem, we suspect.
If you are planning on throwing your innovation hat in the ring, you'll need to register before noon on 31 August 2016 and then get your entire application uploaded by 7 September 2016. Even if you do miss out on a share of that cash and you still don't fancy chancing your hand on Dragons' Den, keep your eye on the Innovate UK site for further opportunities.

9-1-1 Hangup Call Leads to Strangulation Charges Against Franklin Man
OAKLAND TWP., Pa. (EYT) – A Franklin man is behind bars on felony strangulation charges following a domestic violence incident yesterday in Oakland Township, Venango County.
Franklin-based State Police filed the following charges against 25-year-old Jedd Alan Fuller:
- Strangulation – Applying Pressure to Throat or Neck, Felony 2
- Simple Assault, Misdemeanor 2
- Harassment – Subject Other to Physical Contact, Summary
A criminal complaint filed at District Judge Patrick Lowrey's office indicates that Troopers Johnson and Fetterman were dispatched to 3761 State Route 417 in Oakland Township on Tuesday for a 9-1-1 hang-up call.
Upon police arrival, Fuller stated that he did not call 9-1-1.
Fuller told police that he had been involved in an argument with his girlfriend and she left the residence.
According to the criminal complaint, Fuller had blood on his toe and his face but denied that physical contact occurred between himself and the alleged victim.
Police spoke with the victim at her mother's house in Oil City and stated that she was viewing the defendant's electronic tablet when they "got into an argument."
According to the criminal complaint, the victim told police that Fuller threw her against a door and then choked her, "making it hard to breathe."
The victim's statement indicated that Fuller punched her in the face when she tried to fight back.
The victim had red marks around her neck and a fat lip. She was also having a hard time moving her right shoulder and had red marks on her shoulders.
She was transported to UPMC for treatment of her injuries.
Unable to post $50,000.00 cash bail, Fuller was lodged in the Venango County Jail.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on September 20 with Judge Lowrey presiding.

Motorists are being advised to beware of traffic jams as Eid celebrations take place this week in south Manchester.
Thousands of revellers are expected in Rusholme between today and Saturday as Muslims mark the end of Ramadan.
Wilmslow Road, the main thoroughfare in Rusholme, will be particularly busy with long delays for traffic expected in both directions.
Transport for Greater Manchester has warned that some bus routes normally using the road will be diverted.
Even more traffic is also expected around Rusholme on Saturday as the annual Caribbean Carnival takes place in Platt Fields Park with thousands more revellers travelling there too.
In Longsight, Stockport Road is expected to be extremely busy as a Chaand Raat market takes place to mark the start of Eid.
Large crowds are expected to attend the event on the Longsight Market site off Dickenson Road which starts at 10pm tonight.
The annual event, the largest of its kind in Europe, is organised by the Longsight Traders' Association and sees a night market selling food, clothing and jewellery plus live music and dance.
A larger police presence than normal will be on patrol around Rusholme over the two days to cope with the expected crowds.
Officers have warned trouble-makers to stay away from the celebrations, warning that anti-social behaviour and disorder will not be tolerated.
Chief inspector Dave Gilbride said: "Our officers will play their part to ensure the communities and those visiting are kept safe and that there is minimal traffic disruption to the area.
"I would like to remind people coming to the city that any form of crime, antisocial behaviour and public disorder will not be tolerated and that we will take robust action against those participating in such actions.
"Eid is a joyous occasion and an important date in the Muslim calendar and celebrations should reflect this. Anyone wishing to bring or cause problems is asked to stay away.
"During the course of the two-day event our officers will increase patrols and will have a visible presence along the Wilmslow Road corridor and surrounding area.
"Finally I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our Muslim community 'Eid Mubarak' and those visitors coming to Manchester will be given a warm welcome."

Tiger on Tiger
Posted by rom on April 30, 2005
I was just asking some Sun evangelists as to why Tiger (Java 5.0) is not available on Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) and they told me that since James Gosling, the father of Java, is using a Mac, it will not take long for Java 5.0 to be released for Apple's Tiger. And true, indeed. Yesterday, the day Apple released Tiger, a preview release of Java 5.0 has been made available for download. Coolness!
I have installed it but have yet to test it. I am hoping that with this new jvm, I will get better performance (and hope that my applications work now).
Stay tuned.

Strike Slows Metals Exports From St. PetersburgLondon- Metal shipments from St. Petersburg are being delayed because of industrial action, metal traders and shipping agents said Wednesday, though stevedoring companies denied any slowdown.
"There is some kind of go-slow going on in St. Petersburg. I think it's mostly affecting aluminum shipments," one European physical aluminum trader said.
"Delays seem to be about a month long. A lot of metal is being stocked up around there," he said.
Freight shipments began bypassing St. Petersburg for ports in neighboring Baltic states in July, when dockers demanded that the port's new owner, steel major Novolipetsk, increase their salaries.
Novolipetsk, which also bought the port's First, Second and Fourth Stevedoring companies, refused. The standoff has resulted in more than 100 companies, including ship owners and shipping agents, each losing thousands of dollars per day, local business daily Delovoi Peterburg reported last week.
"The port is not willing to compromise with the dockers, and we are experiencing huge losses due to broken terms of delivery. But we can understand the port -- the dockers' wages are already higher than average and cannot be raised," a shipping agent told the paper.
A British trader said Wednesday that a parcel of nickel he had booked through St. Petersburg for arrival mid-August had been delayed by at least two weeks.
"First and Second Stevedoring Companies load and discharge ships in the seaport and at the moment perform their job according to official daily rates -- very slowly," a shipping agency source in St. Petersburg said.
However, the stevedoring companies denied there had been delays in metals exports.
"We load planned cargos of aluminum, there have been no delays nor lower volumes," said the executive director of the First Stevedoring Co. at the port, Vladimir Krasheninnikov.
"We have loaded all [aluminum and nickel] we planned for July and August and we expect to load all the metal in accordance with the plan in September," said Stanislav Zhemchuzhin, deputy director of the Second Stevedoring Co.
A second European trader said he doubted delays were as long as a month.
"A month's delay is equivalent to about 150,000 tons of metal. There have seen some slowdowns, but they are not problematic," he said.
Novolipetsk was not immediately available for comment.
The port loaded 768,000 tons of non-ferrous metals in the first seven months of 2004 versus 901,800 in the same period last year.

Tonight was the annual homemade ice cream contest and potato feed at the church. My dad and I had been debating whether we wanted to go or not, but when it appeared that there'd be only one entry in the ice cream contest, we figured it was our duty to show up, if only to give the other entrant a challenge.
The past two years I have participated in this thing I have brought fresh peach ice cream. This year, since my dad wanted to do peach, I decided to have fun and try something new. I flipped through my little book of ice cream recipes, found one, and decided that was it: Pumpkin Spice. I tossed all the ingredients in the blender, dragged Richard downstairs for a taste test, decided to up the level of spices a tad, and then lugged the whole ice cream freezer contraption off to the church to get ready.
As it turned out there were five of us contestants this year - two different varieties of peach (one more like a delicious peach ice, the other obviously made with real cream - velvety and rich), vanilla, peanut butter, and my pumpkin spice. We all joked that it was the year of the yellow ice cream. I wasn't sure how the pumpkin spice would come out, seeing as how this was the first time I'd ever tried the recipe, but oh, wow! I decided that it had to be vaguely healthy too, because it has pumpkin in it (hush - leave me my delusions). It took second place, right behind that incredibly rich peach ice cream. I'm thinking that I may just have to make this ice cream again - perhaps for Thanksgiving (what better time for pumpkin-based foods, after all?). Pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin spice cake, pumpkin pie. Our families will never know what hit them.
I'm feeling rather smug about the fact that I've been able to continue my trend of getting absolutely everything into my carry-on bag (I'm allergic to checking luggage), even though this is a two-week trip. Okay, before you all throw things at me, I'm not really *that* amazing a traveler. it's really only a week's worth of stuff, and if we can't find a laundromat like I'm counting on, I may be washing my socks in the sink (yes I know hotels do laundry, but I don't trust them when half my things can't be tossed in the dryer. Stupid women's fashion using stupid non-permanent press fabrics. Grr).
A quick thanks to all of you who wrote or commented on my previous entry regarding the difficulty I had finding appropriate business attire for women. A large number of you pointed me toward Land's End, so I promptly checked out their website and after I oohed and aahed, I requested catalogs. Come spring, when I'll most likely have to go through the whole sorry shopping-for-business-clothes mess again, perhaps it'll be slightly less appalling. Granted I only gave it a quick skim, but from what I could see on their web site Lands End's clothing seems to be refreshingly lacking in fringe, see-through blouses, and reflective pants. I'm taking this as a very good sign.

Lieutenant Lillian "Lily" Walker grew up with Captain Jim Kirk. They've literally been best friends since birth. They attended the same schools and they lived right next door to each other. Whenever Jim decided to do something idiotic Lily was right behind him ready to go. So, naturally, when Christopher Pike convinced Jim to join Starfleet so did Lily. Now with Jim as Captain of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise and Lily as a lieutenant on board, space will never be the same. Things are going great until Lily starts having horrible nightmares that cause her to wake up every night screaming. Then Jim starts to realize how he really feels about Lily. At the same time with the order put out for Jim and the crew of the Enterprise to hunt down John Harrison, he can't find the right time to tell Lily. With Bones putting pressure on Jim about confessing to Lily and the unavoidable danger that's staring the whole crew in the face, what will become of Jim and Lily's relationship?
*Note that I do not own any of the original Star Trek characters or stories. I only created Lillian Walker. AND ALSO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN INTO DARKNESS BEWARE THE MAJOR SPOILERS!*

Bark for Life
The first Bark for Life is coming to the Cross Roads area quickly.
The event brings our four-footed friends together to help raise fund fro the the American Cancer Society. The event is scheduled Saturday, Oct. 17, and begins at 10 a.m. at the Old Settlers Pavilion at Comanche Trail Park.
"Bark for Life is a great opportunity to involve those four legged family members in the fight against cancer," said Beverly Grant, director of Bark for Life in Big Spring. "It gives us a chance to honor survivors, remember those lost and those who are still fighting, whether they are friends, family or pets."
The community is invited to bring your dog and join the ACS for a morning of tail wagging, dog treats and tricks as we help people get well, stay well, fight back and find cures.

Everyone has a secret. But Lucy's is bigger and dirtier than most. It's one she's been hiding for years-that her mom's out-of-control hoarding has turned their lives into a world of garbage and shame. Tackling an increasingly discussed topic that is both fascinating and disturbing, C. J. Omololu weaves an hour-by-hour account of Lucy's desperate attempt to save her family. Readers join Lucy on a path from which there is no return, and the impact of hoarding on one teen's life will have them completely hooked.
Praise for Dirty Little Secrets:
"Shocking, tragic, desperate, and believable. . . . a valuable new addition to heartbreaking but honest books about teens." -School Library Journal
"An emotionally charged novel. . .readers will be rapt." -Kirkus Reviews
"A disturbing appraisal of how a mother's obsessive hoarding affects her teenage daughter in this frank novel." -Publishers Weekly.

Bass-Kick InstinctBy AudioRichter: Voiceover | Sound FX | Music
Dancing to the "boom chik boom chik" makes me happy. They say I resemble a Muppet. I don't care because it feels good. As a musician, I want to expel the very thing I ingest. I mimic my body in that regard. The only problem is, it doesn't come out right! Not natural. I have heard music where the bass and kick like to dance in tight and rousing formation compared to my woppy-cockled waist twists. Fred Estaire would say it's a three-step jive.
One step is to have the kick drum take lead and carry the weight, the bottom end, the lower frequencies. The bass then shimmies, or plays, around higher notes/frequencies in the arrangement. But now, the bass sounds like PePe the King Prawn when I may prefer Sweetums. You dig meep?
Two heavy beasts playing low sub frequencies at the same time turns a mix into the last tango come dawn. Messy. Sadly, the kick can have frequencies so low, many speakers can't reproduce it and an arrangement would sound weak.
Time for the dance flip! Bassie Birtha can lead! Let the kick take the upper frequency space. This is the music formula for the tunes that weigh in at the 40-80Hz sub-bass category! The kick then settles in the 80-100Hz space. To help the bass line stick out, add a mid bass Solid Gold back-up Dancer around 150Hz to about 500Hz above the kick - a contemporary favorite. Now that everyone is working in close proximity, they all sound heavier. Be warned: the bass can only move around a few narrow note steps. Otherwise, if you go up in pitch, you loose weight. This could have its advantages creatively speaking…
How about the waltz, let's ask? The one where the bass and kick can take the same frequency space? That third step is the dosy-do. One idea is that they don't hit at the same time, but rather they lay down their rhythmic attack on off beats of each other, taking turns. You could also Duck your heavy partners off each other by sidechain compression. Now both have the freedom to be as loUd as they want to be and as widE in the Hz as they care. Your only contender is the pumping it creates. The fact that I always arranged them together was why my low end was woppy-cockled and constipated. Now that I know better, a booming fart in the wind.
Want a listening exorcise? Pick out 5 pieces of music each from a different genera. Do you hear the difference in how the bass and kick drum sections interact keeping in mind the three step arrangement?

Hi, I am Walter Jakubowski, a cardiac patient looking for help to live my dream and endeavor.
I was born with Congenital Heart Disease and at the age of 3 months old I underwent my first open heart surgery to save my live. Then at 6 months old I underwent another one, once again to save my life. Since then I have gone under 4 more open heart surgeries the last one in 1998 and due to a relapse I was in a comma for a month and a half. They implanted a bovine valve in place of my original pulmonary valve. In 2005 I under went my first pacemaker implantation; however due to the severe damage to my heart that pacemaker was unsuccessful in keeping my heart rate normal. In 2007 I underwent my second pacemaker implantation. Also in 2007 I underwent back surgery to correct paralysis in my right leg, which was 50% successful, since I am paralyzed from my knee down and must walk with a prosthetic boot.
Within the next several years I must under go another open heart surgery to replace the bovine valve, since they are only good for a maximum of 20 years.
At the age of 13, since I was not able to play like a normal child I spent my days using my dad's 8mm film camera and my family members to make movies. I dreamed of becoming a film maker as I enjoyed the artistic views from the camera and how I can control the action to make family entertainment. I went to film school and received my B.A. in Film/TV/Video Production.
Please help me reach my dreams, endeavors and goal of raising $500,000, for the production of those three projects above.

MacDuff:
What three things does drink especially provoke?

Porter:
Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and
urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes;
it provokes the desire, but it takes
away the performance: therefore, much drink
may be said to be an equivocator with lechery:
it makes him, and it mars him; it sets
him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him,
and disheartens him; makes him stand to, and
not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him
in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.Benitohttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-44748835043447476872008-12-01T13:28:00.000-08:002008-12-01T13:28:00.000-08:00One of these days I'll go back and look for food a...One of these days I'll go back and look for food and wine references in Shakespeare.

I used to steer away from rosé once it got cold, but it makes a nice counterpoint to the heartier reds begged for by colder weather.

Fredric,

I resisted the temptation to write the whole post in iambic pentameter. One of these days I'll go back and look for food and wine references in Shakespeare. A quick search revealed that wine was mostly a prop--a character demands a glass, or someone is carrying a jug, etc. One little curiosity from Twelfth Night, spoken by Sir Toby Belch:

"Thou'rt a scholar; let us therefore eat and drink.
Marian, I say! a stoup of wine!"

I thought Rachel Ray just made up that ear-grating term for a cross between a stew and a soup, but it turns out to be a Scottish word for bucket. And if we take the proposition that some other recipes are named after the pot in which they're cooked (tagines, paellas), then it could be a proper use of the word.

Stream Wilco's New Album
That's the cover of the new Wilco album, Wilco (The Album). I'm not kidding. That's the name of the album. It's coming out on June 30. But you my friends can stream the entire album right here. I am listening to it right now. The title of the opening track is "Wilco (The Song)." Again, not kidding.
(UPDATE: I think that's Feist on the fourth or fifth track.)
(UPDATE: Confirmation: it is Feist. I seem to be a little behind on this one.)
(UPDATE: Done listening. That was awesome.)

I really hope that the majority of you took part in some sort of Easter festivites today, unlike me. Boooooo. But, I'm not Catholic and didn't participate in Lent, so I didn't really have anything to look forward to anyways! 😀
So this morning, I tried my best to wake up early to go to the gym (my gym closes early on the weekends, and I wouldn't of made it after work today) But, that didn't happen. 🙂 Instead, I slept a little later and then woke up and got ready for work.
Breakfast was nothing special but it was deliciousss.
2 slices Seseme Seed Ezekiel Toast, scrambeld egg whites with spinach and 1 regular egg, 2 slices turkey bacon, and strawberries
I got bored, so created a sandwich out of the mix and it was perfection.
Since MA is actually starting to have decent weather, the fruit is starting to come around more and more 😉 Horray!
The rest of my day was spent waitressing, but wasn't too bad at all because my parents came to visit me for lunch!
I wish I could of taken some pictures, but I'm not going to bring my camera to work and risk it getting stolen! (Or being yelled at). 😉
But, one thing that did happen at work was one of the cooks made me baked french fries. He made them plain without any added oils or salts, and they were delicious. The other servers dug in to the fries too so I didn't get that many.
When I got home from work (and no I didn't work a double, yessss), I changed into my workout clothes and headed to my high school track. I was pretty satisfied with my workout consisting of field sprints, suicides and bleacher runs.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
Did you do anything fun for Easter?
Did you give anything up for lent that you couldn't wait to get back?

Two-thousand years ago, a baby was born in Bethlehem. While it could have never been known at that time, never would have been guessed by the outward circumstances, the truth was simply: this was NO ORDINARY BABY. This baby was born to be Savior, Messiah, and Lord. The influence of that extraordinary child continues to resonate in untold ways in countless lives. Let yours be one of them today.

I am determined to be a better, more organized, on top of it mother this school year.
To that end, the girls and I did some school success organizing yesterday. We talked about and made a schedule that can be moved around if needed, and extra curricular things can be added too!
We have spots for notes to go back to school, and a spot for important things/library books, and homework .
The top drawer will hold all the necessities for completing homework, so there will be no, "but MOM, i neeeed a pencil."
And probably the most important thing for MY sanity is a newly hung backpack/coat hanger that the BG hung up RIGHT at their level. No more throwing the back pack on the couch,floor, wherever they land.
Okay after next weeks eye appointments, Dr. appointments, and one more shopping trip for gym shoes we will be ARMED AND READY for a great new year of learning!
Now I get to play today. I started decorating the mantel. It will be tweeked a few times I am sure, but it's fun to play!
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!

Metro Magazine reveals their annual Body issue which is a list of the hottest bodies in the land.
It includes Daniel Matsunaga and Vanessa Matsunaga, Hideo Muraoka and Fatima Rabago, Divine Lee and Victor Basa among others.
Here are some Behind-The-Scenes photos from their shoot!
Don't you just love BTS photos? I love them better than the actual mag photos because they're a lot more and they tell a story.
Daniel Matsunaga and Heart Evangelista's relationship has been the talk of the town lately. Gossip has it that they have already broken up.
Girls and bekis would have been so happy about this rumor but last time I've checked, they are still happy and sweet to each other. Sigh.
Hideo and Fatima
Ladies will love Fatima's shoes!
Hideo, if you're checking on your abs, they're still there! LOL
Hideo taking a nap. It has been quite a busy sched for Mr. Muraoka. He was from Bicol and went straight to the shoot! Aaaawww… Poor Hideo. So you think being a top model is that easy?
Group shot!
Daniel and Hideo. Need I say more?
These guys are definitely worthy of being the Metro bodies of 2012.
Hmmm… I feel soo inspired to work out!
