Elephant Amenity Network has submitted a letter of complaint to Soundings who have been managing the consultations for Lend Lease's regeneration of the Elephant and Castle. The letter asks that the serious misrepresentation of the amount of affordable housing that was presented at the consultation be taken into account at the planning committee stage . The letter was also sent to Sarah Gaventa, who has been the Chair of the Lend Lease-created Regeneration Forum.
We are publicising the letter here (and elsewhere) and asking that local people and groups add their name to it. If you support our statement then please email us your name and we will add it to the signatories.
Dear Soundings
Re: Elephant and Castle Regeneration Consultation
We are writing to you because we feel that there has been a serious misrepresentation of the amount of affordable housing to be built in Phase 2 of the Heygate redevelopment during the preplanning consultation that Soundings has conducted.
At both the exhibition in February and the Housing Workshop on 29th Jan the local community was told that Lendlease would be submitting an outline planning application that would include 25% affordable housing. This has proved not to be the case; instead Lendlease will only be building 'as much affordable housing as is financially viable….' This is in both the Planning Statement and the Housing Statement (8.1.4). The planning case officer has confirmed that the 25% minimum is not part of the application.
We will not labour the significance of this – instead of a guaranteed minimum of 600 affordable homes this development, when complete, could have no affordable housing at all. However whether this is good or bad is not the point of our complaint – it is that local community has been given no opportunity to gives its opinion on the true proposals.
Pre-planning consultation is part of the planning process. A report on the number of meetings, attendance etc. is usually part of the planning application. This report should now state that the local community was neither informed nor consulted about the amount of affordable housing and this should be taken into consideration by the planning committee. As the facilitator of the consultations we believe that it is Soundings responsibility to make sure this happens.
Yours sincerely

2018 Audi A4
Luxury Car of the Year: 2018 Audi A4
While all of our finalists are the best examples in their class, one rises above the others — the Audi A4 is our Luxury Car of the Year. It won our hotly contested 2017 Luxury Sports Sedan Challenge thanks to its unbeatable combination of luxurious trimmings, excellent chassis dynamics, spacious interior and well-executed electronics. Is the zippy, standard 2.0-liter turbocharged Used Engine not hot enough for you? Upgrade to an S4. Want a wagon version? Have a look at the Allroad version. Need all-wheel drive where you live? Not a problem, Audi's optional Quattro AWD system is one of the best. The versatility and competency of the A4 is unshakable, and combined with its unwavering interior material quality, the A4 remains an outstanding luxury car.

If there is something I don't tend to tire of, it is chinoiserie. Just when I think it's feeling predictable and over done, I fall in love again. At this point, my feeling is chinoiserie designs are timeless and far too gorgeous to grow old. Over the years I've pretty much fearlessly embraced color and have learned I would rather take risks than be boring. Bailey's home is featured in this month's House Beautiful and it is far from bland. She beautifully covered her dining walls in a Zuber paper. (see the beautiful panels below) I also have a fondness for most things French. (including my heritage) so my love with chinois panels (that are often hand painted in France) runs deep. The only down side? The price tag! See the rest of Bailey's exuberant home here.

Wake Forest Baptist Church, due to the generous gift of 16 acres of prime property at Highway 98 West and Wake Union Church Road, by Cecyl and Irene Stephenson, now celebrates a second campus which is enjoyed by many church and community groups to enhance the value of our community. In 2007, over two million dollars was raised to make this campus stand out as one of the prime places to meet and enjoy recreation in Wake Forest. On the 12 acres, there is now situated an outdoor pavilion with stone fireplace, full kitchen, and bathroom facilities accompanied by picnic tables to seat a large gathering. There is also an athletic field and regulation beach volleyball court with parking provided.
In May 2010, the groundbreaking ceremony took place and now the property is used by the Kerr YMCA for the soccer league, as well as countless churches and community groups who gather for picnics, reunions, parties, and gatherings. We celebrate this opportunity to stretch our horizons and add to the value of our church and community. Even now, a "vision" team is planning for future dreams for how this campus can be used for the glory of God's Kingdom.

What makes up a paranormal investigator?
Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 3:17PM
|Photo found here
It's a dark night under a clear sky. The moon is full, and hovers over the old, crumbling building. Even though it's been empty for years, a small white light appears in one window high above. A black shape flits across another, and a scream can be heard dying in the night. This is what paranormal investigators seek, spending countless hours sitting in dark rooms, recording audio, filming and using other technology to measure and detect, waiting patiently for something to happen. But how does someone become interested in investigating? How does someone get the initial urge to look for ghosts? If you pose this question to the paranormal community, odds are there will be many different answers. Some have been searching for years, while others are relatively new to the field. With the birth of paranormal reality tv in the last decade, there has been a surge in popularity and a garnered general interest in the paranormal.
Investigating can be a hobby for some, or even a serious career for others. Some go solo, while others form teams with varying numbers. There are no real accreditations, as explained in a previous post on this blog, so this makes it accessible to everyone. However, with no formal professional expectations or limitations set, it can also be easily tarnished or abused.
Because it is a past time that can be enjoyed by the young or old year-round, it is relatable, attainable. Most people have been subjected to a ghost story, myth, or legend, at some point in their lives, whether it's through a friend or family member, or at a campfire tale. Ghosts have purportedly been around for centuries. Even the ancients, Homer, and Virgil, were telling ghost stories, as part of tradition. The stories themselves could be based on a truth, embellished, and long spun out of control, or may be used to incite fear and respect for a location.

People are inherently curious about what happens to us after we die, and this is how ghost stories have become a part of our culture, a part of who we are. This brings about the desire to find answers to the mysteries, and real, tangible evidence to refute the claims or prove them. Some people say they are interested, but never act on it, whereas others will leave their homes, armed with various technical equipment, and spend hours logging data and jotting down personal experiences to analyze later. The people who become investigators have a passion for it, and are drawn to have their own experiences and search for answers. It is an unending quest for the one's who investigate, yet one that is redeeming and fulfilling.
The paranormal community has a kind of black and white dynamic. There are people who adamantly believe in ghosts, and there are people who are more on the skeptic side, who may approach aspects to try and debunk them.
Many want to bring respect to the community, but there's always someone who will resort to devious claims in order to gain attention. From faking evidence, to committing various types of fraud, these are the one's who can pull the paranormal community down into the depths of doubt and non-credibility. To the skeptics, our work is foolish and unnecessary, and we work hard to establish a sense of professionalism and respect for us, for the field, and for others like us. It only takes one bad example to tarnish many reputations and it's incredibly hard to regain the respect.
That being said, I feel that most of us are out there, spending our nights diligently looking for answers, sacrificing our time and sleep because we truly love it. The few who are nefarious, while they can't be avoided, can be counteracted. Perseverance will show that our work is legitimate and worthy of respect.
If you are a paranormal investigator, what made you want to do it? If you're not, do you remember the first time you heard a ghost story? Please share your answers with us below in the comments.

Combining indulgent fusion food, burlesque glamour and decadent décor, Proud Cabaret Camden is one of London's most unique dining environments. Cabaret supper clubs and dinner and show packages pair European and Asian flavours with vintage eccentricity.
The Proud Cabaret Camden menu is fittingly exotic and extravagant. Start with beef tataki with edamame beans and grated horseradish, or smoked chicken with avocado, pickled ginger and sushi rice salad. Luxurious mains include ribeye steak Diane with truffle mash and French beans, chicken chasseur with bubble and squeak and golden enoki mushrooms, and sea bass en papilotte with sun-dried tomato and parmesan salad.
Low lighting, exquisite chandeliers and dark red furnishings provide a suitably sophisticated ambience for sipping one of the many cocktails, or sampling the lengthy wine list. An ornate peacock looks down on the blend of burlesque events and fine dining in the main room below.
Paying homage to classic 1920s cabaret clubs, Proud Camden is a 6-minute walk from Camden Town Tube Station.

Contracts: $46.273 million
"The day after you graduate you don't have any support anymore," he said. "It's too abrupt."
Wu's suggestion is that a company should spend nine years in the 8(a) program and then have five more years of transition time in which it can still draw from 8(a) contracts.
Although he said his company did well by the program and he appreciates being a part of it, Wu said he would rather not be known only as a former 8(a).
"We like to have people think of us as a good company regardless of whether we were at one time an 8(a)."
Digicon, founded in 1985, makes its money in the systems engineering and development field, as well as systems integration and outsourcing.
The 280-employee company had revenues of $60 million in its fiscal 1996. Wu said he projects 1997 revenues to hit $65 million.
Since graduation, Wu said, the company has been making competitive bids, and winning significant indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts. The National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., is Digicon's largest federal customer, Wu said. In addition, Digicon is just starting a state and local contracting effort, with a Texas project being the first win.
Much of what the company has been doing since graduation is just what it was doing before, said Wu.
The biggest change so far, he said, has been a greater marketing push, which includes a more focused marketing strategy and hiring more people in that division of the company.

When it comes to owning Mercs, Bentleys, BMWs, to name a few the wealthiest and extremely rich of society does not stop there. However, the common man and working class would start naming and counting more brands on fingers. If these are what you said or were going to say, then you're totally incorrect. Read on to know the Surprising Things Rich People Buy That Will Probably Shock You to find out why.
Most of the consumers who are well affluent and earn one million in a year spend on car brands such as Toyota, Chevy, Nissan, Ford, etc. Moreover, their online shopping is mostly done on Amazon, Walmart and other top shopping sites!
There were recent studies to identify the brands that the rich and wealthy consumers thrive on. This was done with the main purpose by business to target this audiences for big brands. Surprisingly, these are the results: This was categories into 4 various earners –
- Consumers over 40 years of age earning anywhere in between $75000 & $99000 annually.
- Consumers in the age group of 18 to 40 and earn in between $75000 & $99000 annually.
- The highly rich and affluent mass making $100000 to $240000 per year.
- The crazy rich people who make over $250000 to infinite in one year.
Keeping away the myths that you and me might imagine these affluent, rich and wealthy people buy, there are simply like you and me. It is vivid brands should check such studies and statistics to curate content and advertise.
Over 60% bought a computer in the recent past and nearly 70% shop on Amazon resulting in 3.4% of overall purchases. About 60% goes for suits, 54% for hotel reservations, airfare travel & stay, 40% for new automobile & 65% on luxury cruises. They live lives using upgraded technologies, purchase mainstream brands in addition to luxury brands. They search for more relevant and interesting advertisements like what you get on 4yacht.com buyer guide for a luxury cruise.

Christmas was so fun this year.
Jackson was a blast.
In a naughty sort of way.
He could not leave the Christmas decorations alone on the tree or anywhere else in the house.
And we could have used the tree as a growth measuring stick.
There were no decorations within his grasp. Our younger parenting selves probably would have worried about teaching him not to touch the tree. The older and wiser parents that we are now just made sure all the ornaments were not breakable. And we smiled knowing that it is not often that a home gets to have a half-decorated tree for Christmas.
I had such high hopes for my organization skills this Christmas.
Organization doesn't come naturally to me but I really want to be organized. It's a terrible catch 22.
I have been doing so much better lately. Mostly because of my new cyber friend the Fly Lady. I don't think I have ever written about my recent discovery of the Fly Lady.
It is possible that the Fly Lady and her organization method may very well change my life.
This year, with the dear Fly Lady's guidance, I was determined to have everything completely done for Christmas by the first of December. I was sure that this would be the year I would not have to wrap a single gift on Christmas Eve. I was totally planning on spending the day playing in the snow and watching movies while drinking hot chocolate.
If you are one of my sisters stop laughing. I was seriously optomistic...
I did have most of the shopping done by my self-imposed deadline. I had it completely done until some mean-hearted Grinch stole my purse at Wal-Mart. Of course I had a couple of important presents in my purse. And cash. I never carry cash...
Anyway, a couple of stops on Christmas Eve fixed the present problem. But then I had to wrap. I decided that next year I am going to have some boxes and bags and anything not wrapped by Christmas Eve gets a bag.
The kids favorite activity this time of the year is our annual shopping day. The kids all trade names and we go to the mall where they pick out each other's presents. It's a lot of fun.
Jenna is the official gift wrapper. She's so cute.
She would not rest until every purchased present was wrapped with bows and under the tree. She said to me, "Mom I want to have the red wrapping paper with the blue ribbon for my present. Last year I had the gold paper but this year I want red."
Austin employed his computer savvy-ness this year and he went in every morning and opened my computer browser pages to the gifts that he wanted. We bought all his presents by the week after Thanksgiving so I just sat back and watched him sweat thinking that I missed all the awesome cyber sales.
We are enjoying the giant snow storm that rolled in today and we love all the time off from work and school.
We hope everyone is safe and happy!

Finally the AP hit on an idea. She decided to use humiliation. She began observing and criticizing. If 30 students answered questioned, she wondered why there were 2 student never called on. If the kids worked in groups she complained they were too noisy. If they listened quietly, she complained they were not involved. It got to the point the teacher believed the observations were written up the night before the AP actually saw what was going on in the class. The humiliation didn't stop there. The AP made a point of talking about the teacher in front of others every chance she got. She filled up department conferences with references to the teacher. She got up and spoke about him during faculty conferences and she loudly berated him in an office full of people.
The teacher has decided to retire. The AP has won. After a 40 year career, the once beloved, highly regarded teacher was leaving. What a crime, not for the teacher for he will make out very well with a pension and a job in a local junior college but for the high school kids who will no longer learn from this wonderful teacher who knew how to make the subject come alive and be crystal clear to all.

28th May 1940 – Out thereMay 28, 2015
The Dunkirk Project 2015April 30, 2015
A 75th Anniversary Edition
In this new edition of The Dunkirk Project for 2015, a fully revised River of Stories will be added live online day-by-day for each of the nine days from Tuesday 26th May 2015 to Wednesday 3rd June, and you'll be able to read the breaking news as the stories unfold, following some of the people and little ships through the 'Nine Days Wonder' that was Dunkirk 1940. The story continues on 4th June with Beyond Dunkirk.
As well as reading the stories unfolding daily, you are invited to add your own. Since The Dunkirk Project began in 2010, many thousands of people have visited, and many have contributed their own stories, including a poignant 'Safely home' postcard from Jimmy Owen Jones to his wife sent in by Elspeth Owen, and the story of Harry Bennett's 22nd birthday on the beach at Dunkirk. Highlight contributions can be found on the introduction page here. Since many of this year's commemorations are being held in advance of the actual anniversary dates, perhaps you'll have a story to contribute about one of them, or about the 2015 Return on one of the little ships, or some thoughts about the relevance of these commemorations today. All contributions are very welcome – for details of the easy ways to add your own story to this ever-growing collection, please see the River of Stories.
Also new for 2015 is a page about the writers whose texts I set in my 17m long book/sculpture Thames to Dunkirk. Since 2010 I've had many enquiries about BG Bonallack, whose gripping poem The Retreat is at the heart of the book, and his family have contributed some fascinating information for BG Bonallack, Virginia Woolf's diary and the making of Thames to Dunkirk.
Throughout May, until Tuesday 26th, the day pages will be blank, but after that date you'll be able to access them daily either from links on this page or directly by clicking on the day's link in the list of pages above left. The page-by-page unfolding of Thames to Dunkirk remains available throughout:
The Thames is a character in itself, from Chaucer to Conrad and TS Eliot. Writers' responses to it ebb and flow, feeding it like so many tributaries, sending it off in new directions. And so our perception of our physical geography is shaped. We all play our part… as artist Liz Mathews has done in Thames to Dunkirk, a 17m-long book containing a watercolour map of the Thames… By using a piece of driftwood as a pen, her work embodies this creative continuum.
Genevieve Fox in The Telegraph, 3rd April 2012
'I've really enjoyed looking at the Thames to Dunkirk installation online – what a unique piece, with the two texts woven together as they are, yet standing jarringly separate – Woolf's message so raw and abiding.'
Katie Webb, 10th May 2015

Brooklyn, New York — The view from the DJ booth at Afropunk is one some artists work their entire careers to see. At 5 p.m. Sunday, Soulection's Joe Kay had that honor of watching the sun glow over a crowd of hundreds of brown faces. He dropped "No Problem" by Chance the Rapper, and people began to bounce in unison to the soul-stirring choir samples. The smiles and roars of energy were intoxicating, but also rare.
Afropunk is one of the largest safe spaces for people of color across identities and personal expressions. Their joy and freedom is uplifted and protected. "No sexism," signs around the festival remind attendees. "No racism. No ableism. No homophobia. No fatphobia. No transphobia."
Outside the gates of Commodore Barry Park in Brooklyn, New York City, of course, the majority of attendees who identify as black, Latinx, LGBTQ and other marginalized groups face a society that tells them everyday their lives do not matter.
This reality has felt disturbingly clear throughout 2016. A U.S. presidential candidate rose to become the Republican party nominee largely by spewing disparaging comments against Muslims, Mexicans, African-Americans and women. The list goes on.
Graphic instances of police brutality hit social media timelines, stirring more protests nationally. In Orlando, a gunman carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history, opening fire at a club filled with LGBTQ Latinx partygoers and killed 49 people in their own sanctuary of fun, love and acceptance.
We need healing. Music as a medicine is an important part of that. Few artist collectives have been as effective as doing that than Soulection, the keepers of the "Sound of Tomorrow."
Formed in California in 2011 the artist collective and self-described "digital music and technology startup," Soulection fell into the business of prescribing audible antidotes for their listeners rather unexpectedly.
"I heard people talk about [being] close to suicidal and then turning and finding out about Soulection at a weird moment in their lives and it boosted them," Kay said. "Those are things I would have never imagined; that we would have even 1% of that effect on people."
But its carefully arranged fusion of "future beats, eclectic soul, forgotten gems and timeless sounds," as Kay regularly describes Soulection's sound in his radio show, has won the collective a following of hundreds of thousands on SoundCloud. It books shows at festival stages around the world and broadcasts a weekly Apple Beats 1 show hosted by co-founder Kay.
Fans discuss its episodes and shows as examples of a continuing movement and a true source of comfort and inspiration.
Although they're the ones making music that's moving people, Mic asked Soulection family members Eden Hagos, Joe Kay, The Whooligan, Esta and Sango to share how music has healed them in their toughest moments.
The Whooligan, DJ and director of bookings and partnerships
Not to sound biased, [but] when Soulection came around, that was a point in my life when I was at a crossroads. When Soulection came around, it really changed our lives. It really saved us from entering a dark phase. It's like, I've been waiting my entire life to listen to this type of music, and now that I'm able to represent it and put records out and go on the road, it's an honor and such a responsibility.
This past year and a half has been crazy for me: dealing with lost relationships and family passing; and plus with everything else going on in the world. Now this music couldn't come at a better time. And I'm happy to have my family here with me. My artists, my staff, my team and new people that I'm meeting, and we're here together and it's all love. And so now this is the time that music has healed me the most ever.
Joe Kay, Soulection co-founder, host and DJ
When I got kicked out of my mom's house when I was in college. We were just butting heads, and at that moment, Soulection had not even been started yet. We were trying to figure it out, but I knew that I wanted to create my own thing. I wasn't left on the streets; I went to my grandmother's house. And in that moment, that's where everything was founded.
From that moment, I had inspiration and motivation. I had to step up in life. I turned to music, and I remember that night I downloaded like 200 tracks of crazy random music I found [online], and that was the stem of me finding where I needed to get to in starting Soulection.
Eden Hagos, DJ and producer
I would say around '09. I was still interested in music and I was trying to figure out how to do that, but I had just finished graduating college. So I moved to San Diego, went back home, and that's when I met Andre Power and other producers and I started going out to beat shows and meeting other like-minded people and people who wanted to teach me. And I started mixing and learning how to spin.
The sounds I was listening to came out of a compilation called 'Love Is Real.' It was very well-curated. And Afta 1, who is actually one of my favorite producers out of Los Angeles, curated it. My first beat show was Afta 1, and it kind of changed a lot for me, because up until that point I hadn't really seen anyone play live. Afta 1 was very instrumental in my early days of being a selector.
Esta, DJ and producer
It'll probably be a lot of love songs. But other than that a lot of Little Brother. I love Little Brother. That got me through high school, 'cause I just moved to a new city midway through the year. I was from the Bay Area of California, and then I moved to Southern California again, to a little city where I didn't know anyone.
For like two years I was just walking around by myself and just listening to my headphones. It was rough. High school ended up being pretty cool after that. That was when I started to make music too. So the sampling thing, I was so into that; 9th Wonder was amazing. Like the way he flips samples, the samples he found. And then Phonte and Big Pooh were just amazing. It was just an amazing trio.
Sango, DJ and producer
I would say gospel.
There was an artist who passed away this year; his name was Daryl Coley. He's a legend in gospel. Moving from Michigan to Seattle back home and getting adjusted and allowing my wife to get used to the place, because she's not from there, and trying to help her; change is always hard. But my No. 1 healing method is listening to music to take my mind off of something or to be inspired to do something else. And to not overthink.

If your child insists on wearing a superhero cape or setting a place at the dinner table for his teddy, don't be too alarmed. Children love to play imaginary games and most experts encourage it, pointing out that make-believe helps emotional, social and even cognitive development.
When children engage in pretend play, they may use an object to represent something else, for example picking up a block and pretending it's a car, or using Mummy's sun hat as a crown. All of which helps them to run through scenarios in their mind and learn from them.
Your child may also participate in role-playing, where he assumes a character (Mum, Dad, a superhero). In doing so, he'll learn empathy and basic social skills such as taking turns. Your child might mimic real-life situations, such as doing the washing or taking a message when he's on the phone ? these tasks challenge his cognitive thinking skills.
You can help encourage pretend play by collecting a few essentials to help your child build his fantasy world: paper, pencils, stuffed animals and dolls, old telephones, magazines, even a dressing up box full of old clothes. Not only will this help to boost your child's brainpower, it'll keep him from under your feet for a few hours too!

I will freely admit that to share my last adoption update and the raw of my heart felt vulnerable. As much of an open book (to a fault : ) ) that I can be at times, there are others times I tend to hold back and guard to a fault. It's a part of this wait that has stretched me as it extends.
Yet I just had to thank you for loving me through it and the sweet words of encouragement I've been shown whether on this blog, in person, or in the mail.
Our family went to a family/church camp in Indiana a few weeks ago that really spoke to me at this point in our wait.
The theme this year was "stand" and its many applications as a christian. I am quite convinced that God had me there just for Sunday morning and its message.
Our friend Matt shared sunday morning. Matt shared that all we had talked about "stand" was good ...but yet any application, advantage or even the strength in our ability to stand is entirely dependent on what we are standing upon.
If the foundation upon which we stand is weak, no amount of determination, clinging or discipline will withstand storms that may come. It is in grabbing hold of a foundation that is sure and promises that are true the enable us to stand. And we need to remind ourselves of these promises that are ours and true.
But the part that spoke to my heart the most was when he then talked about our own weaknesses to stand on our own.
Often times we try to withstand hardships, trials, calamities on our own strength - or maybe it is just me who finds myself so often there.
I know I stand on the power of God's unshakable promises. I know His grace is offered and given and mine. Those all are what enable us to stand on firm ground and be confident.
But a common theme of my life is after so long a time, I begin to hunker down and plow through on my own strength. I struggle to press into God when the trials persist - almost as if I am afraid to admit how hard something has gotten and how little I have left to persist. I struggle to stay in that vulnerable place. And by doing so, I too often miss out on His offered hand to hold me up and step in where I can not and where I have not.
This past year, I have often had a conversation with God how our life of these last few years has had a common theme of waiting, dependence and being poured out. I don't always handle it well (to put it mildly) and have had some hard lessons in learning what it means to rely on God when situations and circumstances stretch beyond our ability to control and provide. And each time feels a little harder as I feel the reserves are a little lower.
It's as if I want to tell Him, "I know I need to do this differently but I'm ready for a new lesson." But here, two and half years later, we still wait and find ourself in some similar situations.
That morning, God just really sweetly and intimately reached down and spoke to me during a point in Matt's message.
He referenced 2 Corinthians 12:
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
In speaking to others throughout scripture and their own journeys of hardships and victories, Matt pondered that isn't it just like God to show up big in the areas we are most weak?
Every great man/woman of faith seemed to have this journey of falling and then they would rise up. They would fall and rise up. Fall and rise up.
And maybe the lesson there is that when we finally stop trying to stand on our strong legs and fall on our weak legs that God's strength may be known.
I just sat there and soaked in those thoughts as I just felt God whisper, "Stop trying to walk through this wait on your strong leg. Stop trying to manage this journey for others. Stop trying to find the reasons and understand. Surrender helping others understand it. Stop trying to be strong on your own and fall on your weak leg."
Sometimes I manage to reach that point of surrender a little more on my own. Sometimes I fall big in order to get there. But there is something both profound and terrifying about having God so plainly put the choice in front of you and ask you to do a "trust fall."
Because that is exactly what I have felt Him asking me of late.
Do you trust me enough with your family, your dreams, your money, your timelines and your identity enough to let go of your grip to manage it all and fall back into me? Do you trust me if this wait goes another two years? Do you trust me to be strong enough for whatever may come?
Sharing my update was one of those baby steps. Sharing the hard of this journey and the unknown still ahead. Opening up to others thoughts, opinions and comments on how things are moving (or not).
But God is reminding me that He and I are still ok amidst all of that. That I am ok with Him and in Him and regardless of how we go from here.
Some days are hard to sit in the raw and the real of this place.
But God is reminding me again of the sweetness of it.
My foundation is secure. His promises are sure and are mine.
And when I am weak, HE truly is strong.
And for that I am so thankful how weak I am.

I love this - a much needed lesson for me too. I'm so thankful for you opening up your heart to us, we WANT to be there to help in any way we can and it helps us understand and know how to pray when you let us in.
In my own struggles, Satan has told me over and over that I shouldn't burden others with my problems...after all, they were my own choices...I got myself into this "mess." He told me how alone I was and how the people I saw around me were having victory after victory and an abundance of love where I was just failing and where love seemed like a mountain to climb. But the times I opened up, God used those moments and conversations to break through with the truth...HIS TRUTH. And the lies of Satan were exposed.
You are not alone, you are not bearing this burden and this hurt alone. We share it with you and we DELIGHT to share in it with you. It's an honor and blessing to be able to lift up your arms when you feel like you can't stand. To pray for God to show His strength in your weakness. I know how much it meant to me when people lifted us up when we felt like we were drowning and the bond and sacredness in that has touched my heart deeply. I pray you can feel our love during the good times and in the hard times. Love you. :)

As dinner unfolds at Del Posto, the new addition to the Mario BataliBastianich-family fine-dining empire, it's hard to know whether you've entered restaurant nirvana or some strange, slightly comical pastiche of what an opulent five-star restaurant should be. First there is the bread, which comes with butter plus an offering of Batali's trademark house-cured lardo, known in less lofty circles as pork fat. As you spread this lardo, Nutella style, on your house-baked focaccia, you can admire the plush, darkly glowing room, with its towering columns and tall curtained windows like those you'd find in the lobby of a grand Roosevelt-era New York hotel. You can peruse the menu, stuffed with $60 dishes of lobster risotto for two, and old Batali favorites like bollito misto, a medley of rustic Italian offal products that are carved, with elaborate ceremony, tableside. Like at Alain Ducasse's famously effete restaurant uptown, footstools are provided for ladies' handbags. And instead of the rock tunes that are piped into Batali's flagship restaurant, Babbo, you can enjoy live piano lounge music at Del Posto while sipping your $24 cup of cave-aged Chinese tea.
For grizzled Batali veterans (like me), this is all a little strange and unsettling, like watching a troop of lumberjacks tiptoe their way through a ballet. The great chef made his reputation peddling the opposite kind of dining experience, after all. At raucous, unpretentious restaurants like Babbo and Lupa, Batali and the Bastianich family created an intense, almost tribal enthusiasm for their particular brand of rustic Italian cooking. But at Del Posto they seem to have something else in mind. This is their Vegas enterprise, a splashy combination of canny marketing and aggressive haute-cuisine extravagance. It's located, naturally enough, on the westerly edge of the meatpacking district, the New York dining world's version of the Vegas Strip. With its valet parking and baronial balcony seating, the restaurant seems to have been designed, like a giant gill net, to catch the great schools of revelers and high rollers who troll the city at night. Food plays a part in this calculation, but in the end, Del Posto isn't really about food. It's about spectacle and entertainment.
With Mark Ladner (formerly of Lupa) in the kitchen, and Batali focusing all his attention on the restaurant's opening, the cooking is generally superb. But if you've managed to fight your way into Babbo over the last few years, none of it is exactly revelatory. Among the antipasti dishes, robust old favorites like lamb's-tongue vinaigrette and tripe alla parmigiana have been replaced by smaller, more refined offerings like funghi misti, indistinct little pots of cuttlefish and octopus cooked with tomatoes and chickpeas, and slices of the garlicky Italian sausage cotechino, served over lentils. My friend the sweetbread maniac greatly enjoyed his $16 sweetbreads piccata but complained that there was only one sweetbread on his plate. I liked my grilled radicchio (with a cream sauce made with Fontina cheese), and the lightly crisp vegetable fritto misto was very nice, too, but if you're not on an expense account (and maybe if you are), my advice is to ignore the antipasti and move on to the predictably excellent pasta.
Among other things, Del Posto represents Batali's conspicuous, somewhat strained attempt to put Italian cooking on the same level as high French cuisine. As a result, even the simplest peasant noodle dish is served with multiple rows of silver, on fine bone china, in the most exacting, Michelin-approved style. The first one I sampled (this being Batali, there are fifteen, plus four risottos) was a chewy tangle of pici (a Tuscan country pasta, mixed here with coxcombs and black truffles), which was very good but not good enough to merit its $30 price tag. The risottos (try the pumpkin with lardo) are similarly pricey but also good, especially if you enjoy having your risotto reverently served from a silver chafing dish. For $23 you can order little pork-stuffed agnolotti designed to be eaten with your fingers, and $27 buys an ingenious spaghetti dish tossed with fresh crab, scallions, and the slightest kick of jalapeño. Best of all, though, are little cigar-shaped chestnut ravioli ($25), which are stacked over a bed of sweet onions and pieces of roasted pigeon flavored inventively with myrtle.
If you think roasted pigeon and myrtle sound lofty by Batali's standards, you're right. At the same time, however, a vague disconnect develops, as the entrées roll around, between the restaurant's exaggerated surroundings and the type of Everyman gourmet cooking chef Batali is famous for. I enjoy my bollito misto as much as the next fat guy, but do we really need to see the parade of great stuffed pig's feet and bulbous sausages being hoisted from their steam cart, then sliced at the table? The offal of choice at Del Posto is calf's liver, stirred in a white-wine reduction, with a delicate combination of polenta and frizzled leeks, but the roast rabbit I sampled was bland, and the mostly unadorned serving of lamb's kidneys looked sad and overwhelmed on its exquisite china plate. The seafood dishes are better, particularly the orata, steamed in parchment and flavored with grapefruit zest and lemon, and so are old standbys like lamb (served three waysa chop, a shoulder, and a mini breaded meatball) and duck (stuffed with duck sausage). Nothing I tried, however, tasted quite as good as the squab breast, which was deboned, broiled to a light crunchiness on the outside, and tinged with vinegar.
