'I found this film, Microbes to Macrobes, to be fascinating, surprising and very moving. It is a fitting tribute to a great Australian and an internationally renowned scientist.' – Robyn Williams, ABC
Frank Fenner was one of Australia's greatest scientists. In a career spanning over sixty years, he helped save Australia's troops from malaria in World War Two, charted the course of myxomatosis as it decimated Australia's feral rabbit population, was one of the leading figures in the global campaign which eliminated smallpox – arguably the greatest collective medical achievement in human history – and was a pioneering environmentalist.
Frank's life was both charmed and marked by significant tragedy. A man universally loved, with a profound insight into the workings of the natural world, he was unable to save the lives of some of those closest to him. Yet he helped save the lives of millions he never knew.
How did such a modest man, from humble beginnings, grow to become such a significant global figure?
Microbes to Macrobes celebrates the life of Frank Fenner. A lively blend of family drama, scientific revelation, intimate interviews with friends, family, and some of the world's leading scientific minds, it combines rare archival footage, stunning visual effects, moving dramatisation and off the wall comedy.
It is a remarkable film about a remarkable man.
'I'd have to characterise him as being one of the finest people that I've ever known.' – Prof. DA Henderson, Former Chief Medical Officer, World Health Organisation on Smallpox Eradication Program
Please note: Microbes to Macrobes is the second in a series of science biographies designed for general audiences and especially for teenage audiences. The first in the series is Driven to Diffraction.

Wildflowers in Glass Jar
I'm painting wildflowers in my watercolor studio, as usual.
They are one of my two favorite subjects - wildflowers and laundry day scenes.
I'd rather have a glass jar of wildflowers than a big fancy
vase of expensive hothouse flowers, any day of the week.
Painting wildflowers is keeping me grounded, cause I'm also packing up to
move across town, and that is extremely stressful.
But I'll have a much bigger painting space, and that's wonderful.
I will have some much larger floral watercolors soon.
Email me at email@example.com, and
THANK YOU for looking at my little blog.

27 January 2017
From the High Commissioner's Desk - HE Mr Rod Brazier
Australia Day gives all Australians an opportunity to reflect and give thanks. It's a day to celebrate our history, culture and achievements with our friends and neighbours. For Australia, Solomon Islands is not only one of our nearest neighbours, but one of our closest friends.
Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop reaffirmed this close friendship when she visited Solomon Islands with a bipartisan delegation last month. The Minister spoke from the heart, saying "we are friends, we are neighbours, we are partners, and this is a relationship that will endure".
I couldn't agree more.
Over the last year, we've worked closely together and together we've achieved some impressive results. In December – only a few days before I arrived in Honiara – a terrible earthquake and tsunami devastated many parts of Makira, Guadalcanal and Malaita. Australia worked closely with Solomon Islands to ensure that relief supplies and assessment teams were able to quickly reach the affected people.
Australia is also committed to the long-term effort, to help those communities recover in the difficult months after the initial disaster.
In 2016 we worked tirelessly to advance gender equality and to support the implementation of the Family Protection Act, a major milestone in Solomon Islands' efforts to address domestic violence.
Together, we brought cruise tourism to Solomon Islands, bringing around SBD265,000 worth of benefits to local businesses every time a ship pulls into Solomon Islands' shores.
We made strong gains in the health sector, making inroads against malaria and boosting access to essential medicines for all Solomon Islanders. Indeed, I was pleased to sign a new funding agreement with the Solomon Islands Government earlier this month worth around SBD377 million that will ensure these gains endure.
Our people-to-people links have also strengthened through growing private sector linkages, education exchanges and the commitment of Australian volunteers.
2016 saw the 1,200th Solomon Islander graduate from the Australia-Pacific Technical College – that's over 1,200 men and women from across Solomon Islands with internationally-recognised qualifications; and over 1,200 reasons why everyone here today can hire a builder, take their car to a mechanic, take their children to pre-school, or participate in local tourism and know that the service you're paying for will meet international standards.
Looking forward, 2017 also promises to be an important year in the enduring friendship between Australia and Solomon Islands. It will bring an even greater focus on stimulating economic growth as we begin to implement the SBD285 million Solomon Islands Growth Program announced by Foreign Minister Bishop last year.
2017 marks the year of RAMSI's departure and a new era of bilateral cooperation. The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) is strong and very capable. After 13 years of training and mentoring from RAMSI, the RSIPF is one of the best police forces in the region. It is ready to be independent.
I take this opportunity to commend the outgoing Police Commissioner for his exemplary leadership and dedication over the past two and a half years. His legacy is a professional and solid force for the new Commissioner to build on and develop further over the next two years.
Nonetheless, Australia's commitment to security and stability in Solomon Islands remains strong and will endure. Working closely with the Solomon Islands Government we're developing a new phase of support for law, justice and policing through the aid program. This support will ensure the gains of RAMSI are maintained; continue building the capacity of the RSIPF; and enhance Solomon Islanders' access to justice.
We're also working with the Solomon Islands Government to develop a new security treaty that would allow Australia to provide Solomon Islands with emergency operational assistance if requested.
This is a story of genuine friendship and cooperation. 2016 was a warm and fruitful year for our two countries. The 2017 chapter promises to deliver even greater results. On my first Australia Day in Solomon Islands, it is a great honour to share this day of celebration with so many friends of mine and friends of Australia.
Tagio tumas.

Peanut Free Businesses
Hi. I am in Canada near Toronto. We have a few peanut free businesses that I am aware of: Ammmazing Donuts on Bathurst St. in Toronto, Ont. at (416) 398-7546. Also Marci's Muffins which is fat conscious as well on James St. in Hamilton, Ont. at (905)525-2911. Also Lakeview Pastry on Brant St. in Burlington Ont. at (905) 639-0166. Also Cakes By Sue in Burlington, Ont. at (905) 631-7232. I hope these are helpful to somebody.
On Mar 18, 1999
Hi Coco.
I really envy you guys in Canada. It seems that Canada is much more in tune with the peanut allergy thing. Any ideas on why and what we in the US can do to raise awareness?
On Mar 24, 1999
Hi - I am in Reston, VA in the Washington DC area. The only restaurants I feel comfortable going to are: Bertucci's brick-oven pizza (this is a chain) and 'Clyde's' at the Reston Town Center.Clyde's apparently had a problem with someone allergic to peanuts once last year, and since then has developed a no peanut oil policy.
We are still very cautious each time we go to these restaurants, but they seem to be educated about peanut allergy and wanting to avoid any possible problems.
I was thinking of going to these restaurants and asking them if they would guarantee in writing that they are peanut-free, and then in turn we could include them in a sort of "guide-book" for the peanut allergic. What do you think out there? Anyone interested in going to restaurants in their neck of the woods? I am going to e-mail chris to get some feedback on this topic as well.
Astrid mom in Reston, VA
On Mar 25, 1999
1. Coco, thanks for your post. I'm in Hamilton and appreciated the info.
2. As to why Canada appears to be better, it may only appear to be. Our labelling laws are behind the U.S. in terms of specifying which hydrolized vegetable protein is in a food, our airlines monitored U.S. practices before implementing some changes, our restaurants are about the same in terms of their comfort level with/knowledge about food allergies, our daycares follow no consistent practices re: food allergies because there are no regulations specifying them, our schools are not required to accommodate under the types of disability/equal rights legislation that I read about on this board, etc. Peanut oil is used less commercially here because the industry is not large and therefore peanut oil is more expensive than other types of oil. I am not saying that Canada is behind the U.S. just that although sometimes the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it may not actually be true. We are struggling with the same issues here. We are further ahead in some areas and farther behind in others.
Hope this helps. Take care.

On Sep 2, 1999
Thanks Coco for the information on peanut free businesses. Do you know of any cake place that is in Toronto itself? we would like to order a cake in October for a cousin's birthday. Do any of the ones you mentioned deliver?
On Sep 6, 1999
I have not tried any Toronto places, but I was told by another pa family that there is a safe place called "Cakes by Robert". Sorry I don't have any more information than that.
On Jul 10, 2000
Hey Coco, I know this is an older thread, but i just got around to it. Is Amazing Donut peanut and nut free or just peanut free? Many places don't use peanuts but use other nuts. Unfortunately when other nuts are bought in bulk and used in cooking, peanuts can be used as a cheap filler since they are so cheap.
Chapman's Ice cream has nut free facility and lines...check out [url="http://www.chapmans.on.ca"]www.chapmans.on.ca[/url]
Cakes by Robert...bought one there this month. It was pretty good...must warn you however anyone who is really stringent may need to be cautioned. He uses Duncan Hines cakes mixes which use nuts in the same line (but supposedly clean the machine very well). This is probably ok, but you should be warned. My wife called them here in Canada, and i believ one of the problems was that they use m&m's in one cake mix and this contaminates the line. We suggested they use Smarties instead...maybe if enough people call, they will get the message.
Betty Crocker cake mixes are safer. Cakes by Robert is located in Thornhill and should be listed (Yonge and Steeles area).
Costco in Toronto area could almost be nut free for their cakes and muffins except they use nuts in two of their cookies...if only they would eliminate those two, they could be safe! If you visit them, ask the baker and tell them you would like to see them eliminate the nuts. if enough people ask, maybe they'll do it.

Feel Free to Laugh
William Tapley is a Catholic who claims to be the "Co-Prophet of the End Times" and "Third Eagle of the Apocalypse". I am not sure exactly what that means, but it is quite strange. I have featured one of William's many songs before, but he is out with another hit, and you need to see it! Feel free to laugh:
No Democrats were injured in the making of this video…I think.
Thanks for reading/watching/laughing

When it comes to letting a property, there are a few basic rules that every landlord must legally comply with. Here, we have summarised the main points that every landlord needs to know when it comes to their obligations.
As a landlord:-
You must always give notice if wanting to visit a tenant. While you are entitled to reasonable access as a landlord, if you wish to visit your property for an inspection or repairs, you are required to give the tenant adequate notice. Landlords must respect the privacy of their tenants and cannot turn up unannounced.
You must protect the tenant's deposit. This should be paid into a government approved deposit protection scheme, ie, The Deposit Protection Service. At the end of the tenancy agreement it is always returned to the tenant, unless the tenant is in arrears with their rent or there is damage to the property.
You are responsible for specific repairs. These include all repairs to the property's exterior or its structure, such as the roof, guttering, drains, walls and so on. You are also responsible for keeping the water, gas and electricity supply both safe and in working order. Some landlords also offer garden maintenance but generally the tenant will be responsible for this and minor jobs such as maintaining the standard of the interior décor.
You must comply with health and safety standards which includes:-
- Providing a gas safety certificate for the property and ensuring any necessary work is carried out.
- Ensuring that any furniture supplied meets fire safety standards.
- Ensure all electrical items are safe to use.
- Meeting all fire safety standards.
Some landlords now fit their properties with carbon monoxide detectors, as well as smoke detectors.
You must follow rent rules. By law you must inform your tenants when and how the rent should be paid, for example, by cash or cheque or into a specific bank account. You can only increase the rent on your property in specific circumstances. This is normally clearly detailed in the terms of the tenancy agreement.
You must provide your tenant with a UK address: Even if letting your property through a lettings agency, your tenant must be provided with your name and a UK based contact address. This is a legal requirement for all tenancies.
You must provide a full inventory to the tenant : This again is a legal requirement as part of the tenancy agreement, which details all fixtures and fittings provided with the property on commencement of the tenancy.
At Redstones, we understand that your legal obligations may seem daunting to a first time landlord. The good news is that when you work with us, we deal with all of these issues for you. That way, you can relax, knowing your property is in the hands of a reputable lettings agent. We offer a range of services to suit your requirements from an 'introduction only' service to our unique Redstones Platinum Total Care Service. For more information on how we can help, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Case of the F-its
3 comments:
Ah Melissa, hang in there. Do whatever you need to deal- and if that is F-ing it, than F-it away. (Of and if she starts judging you or you don't get a good vibe- end the appointment right there, don't subject yourself to more of the same. We already endure enough of that)ReplyDelete
I think IF definitely warrants an F-it week, or 52. I've had a few this year myself. But for me, most of the time they end up undoing a lot of the hard work that I had put so much effort into . While self preservation should always be a priority, make sure you can see the difference between taking a break and giving up. Hang in there, you can do this. We are right there with you.ReplyDelete
Melissa, I think that we all have the right to have a case of the F-its! (I had to laugh at Melissa G's comments about 52 weeks of the F-its, so F-ing true!!!) I hope that as your body gets used to this new routine that the F-its about school will surpass. I know the F-its about IF never truely go away completely until you have that miracle in your arms. Feel better soon.ReplyDelete

Tammy was an excellent representative for your company.

Mrs. Vivian White called to her eternal homeThe Bishops' wives shopping while at GAFCON in Jerusalem
(left to right: Vivian White, Lisa Hicks, Allison Beach, Hester Gadsden, Susan Sutton)
June 27, 2018
Fourth Wednesday After Trinity
Dear REC Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
I write to you with the sad news of the passing of our beloved sister in Christ, Vivian White, wife of Bishop William, Bishop Coadjutor of the Diocese of the Southeast. Upon returning from GAFCON in Jerusalem on Saturday, June 23, she experienced some discomfort in Newark, NJ, where they landed on their journey back into the U.S. from Israel. The EMS was called and found her vitals normal. She was released to travel on to Charleston.
Shortly after arriving in Charleston at 8AM on Sunday morning, June 24, Vivian encountered difficulty walking from the plane up the gangway. Not being able to continue through the airport, she was transported to the Medical University of South Carolina. After losing consciousness, she could not be revived.
Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out for Bishop William and family and all of the Diocese of the Southeast. Vivian was and is so dearly loved. It was only last Friday that my wife Susan went shopping in Jerusalem with Vivian, Lisa Hicks, Allison Beach and Hester Gadsden (pictured above). Vivian was full of the joy and the excitement of the wonderful moment being in the Holy Land. Within a short time, however, she passed from the earthly Jerusalem into the heavenly Mt. Zion.
Funeral services will be held at Redeemer Church (REC), 2175 Hwy 45, in Pineville, SC, 29468, at 1:00pm on Friday, June 29. Bishop Al Gadsden will be conducting the services. I have been asked to bring the message from God's Word.
Please keep Bishop White and family in your prayers. Please remember as well all involved in the services. Also, pray for the entire Diocese of the Southeast, which is understandably facing into a time of grief and mourning for their beloved sister in Christ.
Vivian spent her last days in the earthly Jerusalem walking where her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ministered, died, rose again and ascended into Heaven. She went where her Master had led. So she did no less passing from this world into the life of the world to come. May she rest in peace in the presence of the Light Perpetual, who is the Lord Jesus Christ.
In Christ,
The Most Rev. Dr. Ray R. Sutton
Presiding Bishop

Advent 2017 Offering - Over $30,000 raised!
A special Advent Offering was received for our Reformed Episcopal mission work in Cuba and also a new parish recently planted in Berlin, Germany. We received a $10,000 matching donation. To date, we received over an additional $20,000 in donations. That brings the total support for the mission work in Cuba and Berlin to over $30,000!!
As you may know, we have been doing mission work in Cuba for over fifteen years. We have twelve congregations and another twenty-four small groups and missions at various points of development. Bishop Charles and Claudia Dorrington have been the key missionaries who have spearheaded this wonderfully blessed mission effort. Many others have also joined them over the years in support and visits.
Below is a complete summary of what we wanted to do with the goal of $20,000. The abundance of donations exceeding that will be proportionately distributed between further mission efforts and support in Cuba and Berlin.
• $10,000 for Cuba development:
• $2,000 for material to build an addition for the growing San Lucas (St Luke's) Parish
• $2,500 to send an REC Professor to Cuba in the coming year for classes with the clergy
Our Presiding Bishop and the Board of Foreign Missions thanks everyone for such an outpouring of support. May the Lord bless you all.

Supporting our Retired Clergy & Widows
Dear REC Brothers and Sisters:
Often we add a request to our prayers before meals that goes something like the following, "O Lord, make us mindful of those who are especially in need." The petition is offered to help us remember and even be receptive to learning of those with special needs.
I write concerning a group of dear servants of the Lord who do indeed come to mind as those requiring our assistance. I'm referring to some of our retired clergy who are quite up in their years, and ministered in the REC before we had a pension fund. For many years, we have had annually a special offering for our retired clergy. This money is divided among them to supplement their retirement.
Furthermore, the offering helps to provide a modest Christmas gift for our retired clergy. They need to know that we will always value and remember their service in the Lord's Church. We do not forget the servants of the Lord in the REC.
Once again we ask you to give to the "Retired Clergy." They always express profound appreciation for this offering of love. They write and express just how much our thoughtful giving means to them. They tell me in my travels as they did my predecessors just how grateful they are that our church has not forgotten them.
Please consider what you and your parish might do for this offering. You may place your gift in the offering plate at church. When you donate, simply designate that this is for "retired clergy."
Thank you for acting on a prayer that we've all prayed, "O Lord, make us mindful of those who are especially in need." Your gift will make such a difference in the lives of the faithful servants of God who ministered with all they had. May the Lord bless you in your giving,
Sincerely in Christ,
The Most Rev. Dr. Ray R. Sutton

Affirmations & Study Guides
Dear REC Brothers and Sisters:
Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ!
Attached to this communication is an introductory letter from Archbishop Foley Beach regarding some affirmations/study guides that have been produced by our ecumenical dialogues with our fellow Christians in the North American Lutheran Church. This group of Lutherans is a counterpart to us in the Anglican Church in North America. They are the Gospel conservatives who left the liberal Lutheran Church (ELCA) shortly after ACNA was formed. They have also been involved in the ecumenical dialogues with the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church.
As the Ecumenical Dean for ACNA, I have participated in many of these meetings and approved together with our College of Bishops (including the Council of Bishops of the REC) the attached affirmations/study guides on the subjects of Jesus Christ, Holy Scripture, Baptism and Holy Communion. As our first steps in confessing the faith once delivered together, I commend these affirmations/study guides to you and your ministries. I also encourage you to consider working through these affirmations/studies with our fellow Christians of the North American Lutheran Church in your area. May the Lord bless you as we make these ecumenical efforts in obedience to our Lord's High Priestly prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane (John 17), to the end that "we might be one . . . that the world might believe."
Sincerely in Christ,
The Most Rev. Dr. Ray R. Sutton
A Pastoral Letter 2017
The bishops of the Reformed Episcopal Church (REC) met at Church of Holy Communion, Dallas, Texas on October 2, 2017, for prayer, fellowship, planning for the renewal and planting of Reformed Episcopal parishes, and discussion of other matters concerning the church. Reformed Episcopal bishops from Canada, England, Croatia, Germany, and Brazil were present by teleconference call.
Among the topics discussed was the recent statement issued by the College of Bishops of the Anglican Church in North American (ACNA), regarding the ordination of women. This statement arose from the conclave held in Victoria, British Columbia, September 5-7, 2017, and represents the first attempt by the ACNA College of Bishops, since the completion of the study by the Task Force on Holy Orders, to address the differing positions on this issue among the dioceses of the ACNA.Read More
REC Houston-area Flooding
You can also mail checks to:
Diocese of Mid-America

Katy, TX 77449
(Please put a memo that it is for flood relief and if there is any parish or individual you desire for us to consider)
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the REC:
As the waters have receded in most of Houston, I've been able to obtain a fuller report from our churches. I've learned more about some of our clergy whom I mentioned in my first update. We were aware that one of the assisting clergy (a deacon) and his family were flooded out and lost both of their cars. Also, one of our priest's working with an Latino outreach had his apartment flooded. We have been apprised in greater detail just how damaging the effects of the hurricane was to these two families in particular.
The deacon and his family were hit particularly hard. They have flood insurance but this does not pay for full recovery. Their home will probably have to be completely leveled and rebuilt. They also have many immediate needs as the insurance is worked out. Although they are able temporarily to live with a relative, they have to find another place for their own family dwelling as soon as possible.
The Venezuelan minister mainly lost possessions, since he lived in an apartment. He too will have to find another place for his family. These needs can be addressed in a reasonable amount of time, but they are all unexpected financial needs for which there are no personal resources.
These families need our help as soon as possible. We want to be able to respond quickly to the immediate needs of clergy like the ones I've mentioned in our own RE diocese. Therefore the important update for you to know about in addition to greater detail of need, is a diocesan fund that also has been set up, the REC Diocesan Relief Fund. The link to give is now attached to my original, updated communication on this web site. If you would like to make special gifts to families with more emergent needs like the ones to which I've referred, please consider giving to the diocesan fund. Based on IRS regulations, you cannot designate your donation to specific individuals. However, you can offer a name and request that we consider that need. Be assured, we will use these donations to meet the greatest needs of our members and our parishes. Thank you for your response of prayer and any giving to those affected by the hurricane in our RE Diocese of Mid America.
Blessings in Christ,
++Ray Sutton
Presiding Bishop
The Eleventh Tuesday After Trinity
August 30, 2017
Dear REC Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
I know we all have been praying and expressing our concern about the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Harvey, particularly the massive amount of rain producing flooding in Houston, Texas. I write to give you an update as of today, Tuesday, August 30. The good news I have to report is best summarized by the Very Rev. Canon Jason Grote, Rector of St. Matthias Cathedral, Katy, Texas: "While you certainly see the devastation of the flooding in Houston on your national news, I can thankfully report that most everyone in our REC parishes have been spared from much of what you see."
For your information there are many Anglican Church in North America congregations in the Houston area. As for the Reformed Episcopal Church, we have seven congregations in Houston and one in Corpus Christ, Texas, totaling eight in this large area hit by the hurricane. Through the past weekend and the first part of the week I've spoken by phone with all of our rectors either directly or by way of text/voicemail exchanges. The good news is that as of today, as far as we can tell, none of our church buildings (and rectors homes) were flooded. One of our parishes, St. Thomas where Archdeacon James Payne is Rector, reports some water around one of the windows and a puddle in the parish hall, as well as a parking lot covered with inches of water, but no flooding in the church, thanks be to God.
The Rectors are confirming that nearly all of our parishioners in these congregations were not flooded out either. I have heard that some assisting clergy families, and two homes of our laity, were overcome by the rising waters. One clergyman lost his home to the flood and both their cars. Another clergyman had his groundlevel apartment flooded. Certainly a number of others did have leaks and took water but not to the point of having to evacuate. It will take a while to obtain these reports, since communications are just now starting to come back in so many areas.
Two of our rectors had to evacuate their homes. The Rev. Dr. Benjamin Bernier, Rector of Providence REC in Corpus Christi, left last Friday with his family. Officials were recommending evacuation. At that time it looked as though the city was going to receive a direct hit from the hurricane. Thankfully this did not happen although the effects of the hurricane were still strongly felt in the city. Dr. Benjamin and family have now returned. Providence REC was spared.
The other rector is the Rev. Canon Rusty Ellisor at Church of the Resurrection in Crosby, Texas, southeast of Houston. He and his family had to evacuate yesterday due to concerns that a nearby ammonia plant had been compromised possibly to the point of explosion. The Ellisors were able to stay with friends last night. They are expected thankfully to be able to return to their home later today.
On another positive note, one of our congregations, Holy Trinity where the Rev. Carl Lund is the Rector, has even had opportunity to help neighbors who were flooded out of their apartments down the street from the church. Holy Trinity opened up its parish hall where as many as seven families have been staying. There will be many more opportunities for God's people to be the hands and feet of Christ in this tragic situation.
Therefore we are all grateful to our Lord that all REC churches, and most of our people have been spared. Of course, Houston is only today experiencing sunshine for the first time in many days. Reports are that in most areas the waters are rapidly receding. There are still parts of Houston, however, that are near dams and rivers overflowing. They will be in harms way for some time to come.
Let us also not forget the storm continues to move across the country. It has spread into Louisiana where we have two REC congregations, St. Paul's in Baton Rouge (Rector the Rev. Dr. Randall Toms) and All Saints (Priest-in-Charge the Rev. Tony Welty) in Shreveport. The storm is also headed toward Mississippi where we have a parish in Jackson, St. Stephen's REC (Rector Jonathan Kell). The effects of this horrible hurricane will be felt for days to come. We cannot assess the full extent just yet. Please continue to pray for those in Louisiana and the other states where the storm is going.
What can we do? First of all, please pray without ceasing. Second, please consider giving. There are two funds in particular you can help donate towards. One is a Reformed Episcopal Deanery fund within the Diocese of Mid-America. These funds will go directly to help those directly impacted within the Diocese of Mid-America of the Reformed Episcopal Church. You can also donate to the larger church efforts of the ACNA and the parishes and parishioners. Bishop Clark Lowenfield is coordinating the efforts for the ACNA relief and you can donate through the Anglican Relief and Development Fund (ARDF).
Donate to the REC Diocesan Relief Fund(Please note this will be go through the Cathedral of St. Matthias' Paypal account but will be forwarded to the Relief Fund)
You can also mail checks to:
Diocese of Mid-America
4142 Dayflower Dr.
Katy, TX 77449
(Please put a memo that it is for flood relief and if there is any parish or individual you desire for us to consider)
Donate to the Anglican Relief and Development Fund (ACNA)Donate to ARDF
Thanks for whatever you can do. This is an extraordinary catastrophe of incredible magnitude that touches many of our brothers and sisters as well as millions of others. Not only our fellow Christians, but so many are suffering. May we, and especially our brothers and sisters so close to the crisis, be enabled to share the transforming love of Christ through word and deed to the end that many would call upon His Name.
As we know more about the needs and other ways we can pray and help, I'll let you know. For now, let us all remember what the Psalmist says, "The Lord sits enthroned above the flood" (29:10). Nothing is more powerful than God Almighty! Even in the midst of tragedy He is over all. In His absolute sovereignty and infinite mercy He will provide some how some way for this precious community in Houston, Texas.
Other updates may also be found on the ACNA Website. Bishop Clark Lowenfield and The Anglican Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast are based in Houston, Texas and will be coordinating the relief effort among ACNA in the region.
In Christ,
++Ray R. Sutton
Presiding Bishop and Ordinary

What is intermittent fasting? Intermittent fasting is a wildly popular, alternating eat-and-fast plan that is getting a lot of attention, and more and more people are trying it for many different reasons. Some for health reasons, most for losing fat and staying lean. Basically, it's a technique that incorporates a weekly or daily fast into your routine. A simple online search will show numerous websites singing intermittent fasting's praises for fat loss, increased stamina and vigor, improved focus at the gym and at work, and breaking plateaus.
Many studies do indeed show benefits, for example, obese individuals lost more fat and improved their cardiovascular disease risk.
Yet not all studies have shown the same results. One in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found for women, alternate-day fasting could actually lower glucose tolerance and potentially crash your metabolism.
My own experiences with some of my female clients who gained weight doing intermittent fasting led me to believe that, intermittent fasting could potentially create some detrimental consequences.
You will miss the most important meal of the day
Everyone has always heard that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day". Breakfast is called break-fast for a reason, to break the fast that we went through during sleep. Breakfast helps us with energy first thing in the morning and helps us feel full during the first 3-4 hours of work. If you are wanting to start intermittent fasting, be prepared to give up your favorite breakfast foods, unless you decide to have breakfast for dinner. I don't know about you, but I feel pretty happy when I get to eat breakfast. It is definitely my favourite meal of the day.
You might chronically elevate cortisol levels
Skipping meals ramps up your stress hormone cortisol, which can be detrimental to your metabolism. Women are particularly vulnerable to the dangers of intermittent fasting, which can keep cortisol elevated when it should be tapering down. This could create the undesired effect of storing fat and breaking down muscle.
You can create an unhealthy obsession with food
You have been fasting all morning, then your co-worker opens her Japanese take out at lunch, and suddenly all you can think about is what you will be eating to break your fast at dinner. You continue to think about this all day and next thing you know, you are in a horrible mood. When you are starving, everything else takes a backseat to eating.
With intermittent fasting, food could become an obsession and everything becomes about food.
You might rely on coffee too much
Most intermittent fasting plans allow caffeine, so you can keep going for hours when you are not eating. When you're fasting, you might find yourself gravitating to coffee shops more often to get your fix that keeps you going without food. Also, that third cup could cut into your sleep cycle.
Coffee also revs up your cortisol. Even small increases in cortisol, such as those experienced when drinking caffeine, can raise blood sugar and increase insulin resistance.
You can create or worsen eating disorders
People don't often discuss this, but at its most extreme, intermittent fasting could trigger eating disorders. The "anything goes" mentality that some people get during the feeding state could lead to overeating, guilt, shame, and other problems that only become worse over time. For someone with emotional or psychological eating disorders, intermittent fasting could turn disastrous.
You could increase food intolerances and inflammation
This is an important point that I make here. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease this year (Hashimoto's), and it is very important for my body to have meals every 3 hours so it doesn't feel stressed from being starved. When you are stressed and have an autoimmune disease, it can worsen or complicate the issue further.
Fasting leaves you starved, and could create a free-for-all dive into a huge pasta dish and a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream when you actually eat. Not only are you introducing a major caloric overload and blood sugar spike and crash that ultimately lead to more cravings, but your "break the fast" meal will likely contain gluten, dairy, and other potential reactive foods. This can contribute to leaky gut, paving the way for food intolerances, candida, and other gut issues, and increased inflammation. All these problems could lead to an autoimmune dysfunction.
These are just my thoughts and feelings about intermittent fasting, and some may disagree, but this just comes from my own personal experiences with myself and clients. Personally, I feel like fasting is quite bad for the female body because we have so many crazy hormones that can throw us off at anytime. I believe in a well balanced diet full of nutritious, whole and fresh foods to keep us in great health, and I continually discuss and promote this with my female clients on a day to day basis.
