The Christian's Anointing
Christ is the perfect Prophet, Priest, and King, but in His grace He allows His people to serve in prophetic, priestly, and kingly roles as well. We are not saved to remain sedentary but to proclaim God's Word, devote our lives and families to God wholeheartedly, and war against the world, the flesh, and the Devil. Let us endeavor to fulfill our roles as prophets, priests, and kings that we may see the Lord's kingdom expand. View Resource
Proclaiming Christ
God calls all of us to take part in the teaching ministry of the church, though not all of us have the same role. Some will be ordained teachers. Others will help their children memorize Scripture. Still others may support the work of ministries that help train indigenous pastors around the world. There are a variety of ways to advance the proclamation of the gospel. What are you doing to further the church's teaching ministry? View Resource
Timothy's High Calling
Besides the many difficulties of ministry that young pastors must learn to deal with, they have the extra hurdle of youth, which can unfairly render them suspect in the eyes of many congregants. We should treat young leaders with understanding and do all we can to support them in order that they might be encouraged to continue in ministry for the long haul. Let us all do what we can to respect and encourage those who are shepherds of God's people, no matter their age. View Resource
Training in Faith
What do you talk about when you are with other believers? Catching them up on the current events of your life is important, but you can be sure that you are being a good servant of Jesus when you discuss with them the things you are learning from Scripture. What about your conversations with non-Christians? Do you look for ways to proclaim the good news, even if only briefly? Let us pray that we would take advantage of any such opportunities the Lord gives us. View Resource
Rewards for Discipleship
Any reward that God gives us is by His grace, for He is the one who prepares good works for us and enables us to do them (Eph. 2:8–10). Because it is all by His grace, we should never arrogantly demand that He bless us, but neither should we never expect a reward in this life. Take time today to think on the blessings of Christian friends, your church family, and other such things in this present age. Make sure to thank the Father for all of these rewards. View Resource
Willing to Die
We still wait for the visible, bodily presence of Christ, but that does not mean the kingdom is not present at all right now. Though its fullness has not yet been realized, the kingdom has come, and, indeed, it continues to come as lives are transformed by the power of the Spirit. Our Savior has kept His promise that the apostles would taste the kingdom before their deaths, and today we too taste God's kingdom in our lives. Look for it to bear fruit in you today. View Resource
Worse than the First
Modern commentators like James Boice have expressed grave concern for the present generation of Americans. Like those who lived during the time of Jesus, many people in the United States have experienced profound material blessings without turning from their sin and rebellion. Our pews are filled with people who lack faith even though they have seen the power of the Gospel in preaching and in answers to the prayers of others. Are you one of these individuals View Resource
The Cost of Discipleship
John Chrysostom comments on today's passage that Jesus would not have us "think lightly of the honor due to parents." His words only signify "that nothing ought to be to us more urgent than the affairs of the kingdom of heaven" (Homilies on the Gospel of Saint Matthew, 27.3). It can be hard to know how to honor one's parents and follow Jesus, but let us remember that His will alone deserves our undivided submission. View Resource

My notes from the CBN days on this one say, "The kind of story that gave U.N.C.L.E. a bad name." Seeing it again now: check. Cute in places, and with a McGuffin that could have provided the driver for a decent story, it fails on both the cleverness and parody levels.
The opener is well-done, however, with our guys in Singapore to meet and pay off independent agent Fred Score, who gives us probably the clearest dying message in mystery history. If the Quasimodo project (there's your real title right there!) was so ultra-high priority, Solo and Illya should have reported in while in Singapore or on the plane instead of wasting time flying back to New York, and Waverly could have sent them straight through to California.
The U.N.C.L.E./UCLA gag is cute, but I think it would have been better if Solo or Illya had smiled at Heather's assumption. Illya's stone face in particular suggests he's heard this one too many times.
Bill Dana, you'll recall, was best known for his Jose Jimenez character in variety-show sketches and his self-titled series, which showcased Don Adams as dull-witted hotel detective Glick. Here he almost appears to be doing his gay character Bronco Brucie; Marvin makes some of the female Innocents look like Xena the Warrior Princess. At the end, I'll admit, his rebirth is motivated. Having your beloved sister threatened by criminals, it appears, is enough to put starch into the limpest spine.
Illya gives the name of his organization as ". . . Law Enforcement." On the other hand, the U.N.C.L.E. Special carbine makes a guest appearance. On the third hand, why don't the delirium-producing flowers get to Illya when he swoops in to rescue Marvin? Now that would have been funny!
Solo is too easily captured at Marvin's in Act III. Better if Heather had leaped toward the door, expecting Marvin; gun in hand, Solo lunges after her, but Howard the thug crashes in and seizes her, and Solo must surrender.
Twice we get a glimpse of the Solo warmth and charm as he draws Heather out on her lonely and self-sacrificing life, scenes which do work. However, compare Elaine and Solo in "Vulcan," or his scene with housewife Chris in "Green Opal."
How could this have been saved? Try a little cleverness. Fred Score's dossier, let's say, paints him as a lover of puzzles and mystery novels. His dying message is more cryptic, giving our men a puzzle: Find the right Marvin Klump. Fred would have to know about Sam Quartz -- we would be told they'd all gone to school together -- and we'd also be told he'd passed through Southern California on the way to Singapore, giving him a chance to stash the film. Most important, Solo and Illya would not have hared crazily off to Switzerland! Imagine that they get Marvin away from Backstreet and Beirut (who have captured Heather to make Marvin talk), then reason out where the "Matterhorn" in the puzzle-loving Score's message is really hidden. This would not only have been cleverer (though less colorful), it would have been cheaper to film!
I'd like to have several of those cars Quartz has on his lot. A Mercedes SL, a Thunderbird, a Caddy convertible --!
I didn't recognize Vito Scotti until he spoke. Usually in his multitudes of character appearances in the Sixties, he wore a mustache. His Beirut is a sort of Joel Cairo-ish cockroach, while Oscar Beregi's Rodney Backstreet is clearly named after Sydney Greenstreet. If, based on these names, scripter David Giler was trying for a parody of "Maltese Falcon," no cigar; "Get Smart" did it better.
Verdict: A script to hand a good writer and say, "This isn't working; fix it."
Cute Lines:
Illya: "[Quasimodo]'s a plan to develop a miniature atomic reactor."
Waverly: "And how did you come by that information, Mr. Kuryakin? Quasimodo is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the world."
Illya: "Somebody from Intelligence mentioned it in the elevator on the way up this morning."
Solo: "Apparently Fred Score is working the back alleys for Backstreet."
(Illya's eye roll and turn away is funny, but it's not that bad a pun, is it?)
Beirut (asked by Marvin why they're threatening him): "Quasimodo."
Marvin: "Quasimodo? Oh, that must be one of those new Japanese jobs. Is that a six or an eight?"

One of the last things you might think of doing when you are very stressed is to take the time to help someone else. But it can truly be the best thing you can do. I know this from my own personal experience.
Not too long ago, I was tired, frustrated and upset over a business issue. Heading home with my husband that night, we turned down our street. My husband said, "There's a girl sitting on the corner crying." We immediately stopped the car and I got out to talk to her. Turns out, she was working for one of those magazine sales companies where they drop off youths and pick them up at the end of the day. She had no phone and no money. Her ride was two hours late. So we called her manager from my cell phone and he said a ride was on its way. She waited in the car with us, shared her tragic life story, and when no ride arrived after 45 minutes, we turned around and drove her the half hour distance to her motel. When we arrived, I spoke to the manager about taking better care of this young woman (she was 20,) gave her some money and hugged her goodbye with some encouraging words. As we drove home again, all thoughts about my problems had completely vanished. My concerns were for her and how I could help others like her in the future. I realized my problems were far less pressing and there are those who are struggling to get by every day on the streets. It gave me a whole new appreciation of how fortunate I am.
That's the value of volunteerism. It gives you instant perspective, awareness of how blessed your life really is, and it gets you out of the worry and anxiety of stress.
The Benefits of Volunteerism
There are several benefits of community service. It:
• promotes connection and sharing
• decreases stress and depression
• improves interpersonal skills
• enhances communication skills
• increases gratitude and empathy
• improves understanding of community issues1
• strengthens your ability to cope
• makes you feel good about yourself and your gifts
• increases how long you live2
• provides a sense of fulfillment and purpose
• strengthens the community
Next time you are stressed, think about all those less fortunate and instead of giving into depression, worry or fear, take some action. There are infinite ways to volunteer. Here are a few:
• mentor a child
• help a neighbor repair their home
• work at a soup kitchen
• walk a friend's dog
• make a meal for someone in crisis
• be kind to a complete stranger
• help at a homeless shelter
• participate in a "clean up your park" project
• volunteer at an animal shelter
• read to seniors at a senior center or hospital
• collect diapers for newborn centers
• help out at an elementary school
• collect books for literacy programs and then read for them
• run a food drive for local food banks
• teach some craft or art skill to children or seniors
Volunteering has a huge impact on your health, longevity and stress levels. For me, it is absolutely one of the best instant stress relievers around, and you can do it at any time, any place, anywhere.
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." Leo Buscaglia

Accessories Added
Want Help?
Ask Our Telescope Experts
Orion Atlas EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount
The Atlas EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount by Orion:
There are nine slew speeds ranging from 2x sidereal to 800x, which translates to a peppy 3.4 degrees per second, and three tracking speeds: sidereal, lunar, and solar. Backlash compensation in both axes and programmable periodic error correction provide the responsiveness for guiding and the tracking accuracy needed for astrophotography. The drive base is equipped with a CCD autoguider port and input for 12-volt DC power. The GoTo hand controller has a two-line, backlit LCD screen and a red-illuminated keypad. An RS-232 serial port permits connection to a personal computer for control of the telescope via astronomy software, such as Starry Night Pro. Navigating the menu buttons is very intuitive and takes little time to master. The database includes the complete Messier, NGC, and IC catalogs of clusters, nebulas, and galaxies; eight planets; 100 named stars; and 25 user-defined objects.
The Atlas EQ-G has a load capacity of 40-pounds, ideal for a 10-inch Newtonian or 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube. A 13-inch dovetail mounting bar is included for attachment of tube rings. Also included are an RS-232 cable, two 11-pound counterweights, hand controller mounting bracket, and an illuminated polar-axis finder scope. Mount weighs 54 pounds, not including counterweights. One-year limited warranty.
Orion Atlas EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount Features
- The heavy-duty Atlas EQ-G equatorial telescope mount and tripod has ample strength to support up to a 40-pound equipment load to easily manage all visual or astrophotographic applications
- Select from among 42,900 celestial objects to explore using the intuitive menus on the computerized GoTo hand controller
- Internal DC stepper motors offer nine slew rates ranging from 2x to 800x sidereal and three tracking rates: sidereal, lunar, and solar
- Features a convenient CCD autoguider jack; weighs 54 pounds without counterweights attached
- Includes an illuminated polar-axis scope for easy polar-alignment, 13-inch dovetail mounting plate, two 11-pound counterweights, 12V DC power cable, RS-232 cable, and more - requires external 12-volt DC power source or AC-to-DC wall adapter (sold separately) for motorized operation

for $1,500 I definitely expected less problematic operation. This mount constantly hangs for minutes at a time while slewing, sometimes freezing altogether. About half the time I power it up, I get the "no response both axes" error, and I have to reset it two or three times before I can use it again. These problems are present pre & post motor controller/SynScan remote firmware updates. First and last Orion product I'll buy.

What Happens At Every 'Real Housewives' Reunion
On Thursday, Andy Cohen, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita, Dolores Catania, and Siggy Flicker got together for what I assume was a polite and and non-confrontational and respectful and mellow discussion about the seventh season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Oh, wait. That came out wrong. Let me try again: the RHONJ Season 7 reunion taped this week, and I bet it was a veritable tire fire that only Andy Cohen could extinguish. And I mean that in the best way. There are some things that happen at every Real Housewives reunion, and heated confrontation is certainly one of them.
I don't mean to brag or anything, but I've seen every RH reunion that's aired on Bravo (what's that I hear? A round of applause? For me? Wow, you're far too kind), so I suppose I'm fairly familiar with these post-season extravaganzas. I wouldn't say I could quote them all word-for-word, but I am comfortable enough with the material to compile a list of things that happen at most, if not all RH reunions.
Are you about to tuck into an RH reunion episode? Ready your eyes and your ears and your heart and your soul for any and all of the following, because any and all of the following will probably go down.
1. At Least One Real Housewife Pulls Proof Out Of The Couch
Phone records, folded up photographs, and manila folders, oh my.
2. At Least One Real Housewife Stands Up & Threatens To Leave The Stage
And sometimes, when things get really gnarly, she makes it all the way to the dressing room where she takes a moment to cool down.
3. At Least One Real Housewife Adjusts Her Gown
Gotta make sure everything is where it should be, you know?
4. At Least One Reconciliation Is Sealed With A Hug
A reunion hug guarantees you'll remain on friendly terms for at least a week.
5. At Least One Real Housewife Says Something That Immediately Becomes An Iconic Real Housewives Zinger
The Real Housewives really let the zingers fly at the reunions. And we are so fortunate.
6. At Least Two Real Housewives Agree To Go Their Separate Ways
How diplomatic.
7. At Least One Real Housewife Sheds At Least One Tear
Feel those feelings.
8. At Least One Real Housewife Raises Her Voice At Another Real Housewife
Feel. Those. Feelings.
9. At Least One Screaming Match Spirals Out Of Control & Prompts Andy Cohen To Say Something Along The Lines Of "Let's Move On"
I guess even deities lose their patience.
10. At Least One Real Housewife Brings Up A Social Media Fight
Bonus points to anyone who brings up a passive aggressive RT.
11. At Least One Real Housewife Shakes Her Head While Watching A Clip From The Season
The picture-in-picture pops.
12. At Least One Real Housewife Throws Etiquette To The Wind & Asks An Important Question
13. At Least One Real Housewife Says She Is D-O-N-E With The Reunion/The Show/The Rest Of The Cast
Feeeeeel. Thoooose. Feeliiiiings.
Bonus: At Least One Bird Crashes The Reunion
Oops, nope. Sorry. If my memory serves me correctly, only one reunion in the history of the franchise has been interrupted by a winged critter. I wiiiiiish a bird crashed every reunion. If I were that bird, I would never stop bragging about this moment to all of my bird friends. I bet that bird lines his nest with the phone records and medical records and printed out text conversations left behind at reunions.
Hey, RHOC reunion bird, wherever you are? Thank you for everything.
