Jesus' Authority Over Death
Matthew 9:18-26, 28:1-10
Because each of us inherit Adam's sin, each of is cursed with the result of that sin which is death. Death is our foremost enemy. Mankind through his technological advances has been able "cheat death," so to speak, by effectively overcoming many of the diseases and even correcting failure of various body parts that used to cause physical death. My presence with you here today is proof of that, because seven years ago I would have died except for an operation to remove an infected and leaking appendix and antibiotics to stop the infection I had in my abdominal cavity. Only a couple of decades earlier, it was not uncommon for appendicitis to cause death as it did to Diane's grandfather.
Modern medicine may be able to "cheat" death for a short time, but death inevitably wins the game. Death takes some early as in the case of the Amanda Jill Berreth, the daughter of our dear friends in California, who died three days after birth despite all the advanced medical care she received. Death strikes others down in their prime through a host of means including disease, organ failure, accidents, and war. You might even live to a ripe old age, as did Mr. George Ball, a good friend of my family's who made it to 105, but physical death still comes.
I have done funerals for people who lived from three days to 105 years and all sorts of ages in between. Death is a persistent enemy who will eventually win. Many false religions have doctrines developed to try to satisfy man's desire to cope with death by some means. The great tragedy is that the hope given in such religious endeavors is false. False hope is given in conquering death in religions such as Islam where the faithful Muslim is promised a place in heaven, but even Mohammed is still in his grave. Secular Humanism dismisses death as just part of the evolutionary process, but that leads to lives of cynicism, despair, or purposelessness. Hinduism and other eastern religions regard death as just part of the cycle of reincarnation, but that, like humanism, brings no comfort when death is actually faced. Fifteen years before he died, Mahatma Gandhi wrote, "I must tell you in all humility that Hinduism and I know it entirely satisfies my soul. It fills my whole being and I find a solace in the Bhagavad and Upanishad that I miss even in the Sermon on the Mount." But just before his death he wrote, "My days are numbered. I am not likely to live very long, perhaps a year or a little more. For the first time in fifty years I find myself in the slew of despond."
There are really two questions that man has in regards to death. 1) Has anyone ever conquered it? 2) Did they make a way for me to conquer it? In our text this morning, we find that Jesus both conquered it and made a way for us to conquer it. Jesus has authority over death.
Turn to Matthew 9:18. Our text this morning is within a section of Matthew's gospel in which Matthew is proving His argument that Jesus is the Messiah by showing that He had authority that only God Himself could have. In the past weeks, we have seen that Jesus has authority over every imaginable disease and physical affliction. (See: Jesus' Authority Over Disease). Jesus has authority over nature itself. He can command the wind and the sea. (See: Jesus' Authority Over Nature). Jesus commanded and the demons had no choice but to obey for he has authority over the supernatural. (See: Jesus' Authority Over the Supernatural). Jesus also has authority to forgive sins as was demonstrated in the forgiving and healing of the paralytic. (See: Jesus' Authority Over Sin). Today we will see that Jesus has authority over death.
Follow along with me in Matthew 9:18, "While He was saying these things to them, behold, there came a synagogue official, and bowed down before Him, saying, 'My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.' And Jesus rose and began to follow him, and so did His disciples."
Matthew has the shortest account of this story and so it is the most condensed. From Mark and Luke we find out several other things. First, the man who came to Jesus was named Jairus and he was not just a synagogue official, but the chief official or ruler of the synagogue in Capernaum. This meant he was responsible for the total administration and operation of the synagogue. He supervised the worship services and oversaw the work of the other elders, which included teaching, adjudicating disputes, and other leadership duties.
This is important to keep in mind because remember that there was already a movement against Jesus by most of the religious leaders. For Jairus to come to Jesus would mean he would do so at the risk of inviting the scorn if not rejection of the other religious leaders. Now Jairus would certainly have known about, if not personally seen, some of the miracles Jesus had wrought in Capernaum. In that city Jesus had healed the centurion's servant, Peter's mother-in-law, as well as performed other miracles which occurred at Peter's house. As we shall see, Jairus had faith in Jesus, but apparently out of fear of what the other religious leaders might say or do, he did not come to Jesus until the situation was desperate. Mark and Luke tell us that Jairus came to Jesus when his daughter was already "sick unto death," and that soon after he went to find Jesus his servants came and told him that his daughter had already died. Matthew condenses that to just reporting that Jairus came to Jesus saying his twelve year old daughter had died, would Jesus come to help?
Jairus came to Jesus because he was desperate. He knew that Jesus had the power to heal the sick so Jesus could heal his precious daughter. His concern for her coupled with his personal knowledge that Jesus could heal her, overcame his fear of his colleagues that were against Jesus. His only hope now lie in Jesus, so he goes out to find Jesus, and finding Him he bows down in respect and reverence. His request now would have to be for something that was a great step of faith. Jesus had not raised anyone from the dead yet, but Jairus says, "My daughter has died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live." A great request made on the basis of faith. Jairus believed Jesus had the power to raise the dead. That power was needed.
The greatest hindrance in people coming to Jesus Christ is not unbelief in Jesus. Even in our society, most people respect Jesus and even believe most of the Biblical accounts of His activities. The greatest block to personal faith in Jesus for salvation from sin is a failure to see the need for it. Jairus hesitated to seek out Jesus until his daughter was already nearly dead and then did die. I wonder how guilty he may have been feeling knowing that his daughter was dead because he waited too long. We know that even though he had enough faith to make a great request of Jesus, he was still fearful because Mark and Luke both record Jesus telling him to "not be afraid, but keep believing." Jairus had to come to a desperate situation before he sought Jesus. Jairus came only when he knew that only Jesus could help. He should have come earlier. Yet, we find Jesus gracious in His response and He and His disciples go with Jairus.
I wonder how many there are here today similar to Jairus. You believe many great things about Jesus, but you are not yet a true Christian because you have still not come to Him for forgiveness of your sin. You're still trying to run your life on your own. It is time to recognize that Jesus is the only way. He is not only the only means to have your sins forgiven and go to heaven, but also the only way to life the way God meant it to be lived. Life with meaning and eternal purpose and peace. How long will you hesitate? Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow may be too late.
I also wonder about many of you who are Christians. Yes, you believe Christ for your salvation and you rest in being forgiven of your sin. Yet there are still those areas of your life that you know are not right before the Lord. When will you see that the Christian life only works when lived according to Christ's directions and according to His priorities? The things of this world still tantalize your eyes and you need to turn your eyes upon Jesus. How are you doing in your personal Bible study, your prayer life, in the use of your spiritual gifts? Are you living for yourself, or for Christ? How long will you hesitate? If you wait you may be saved, but it will be as through fire, and wood, hay and stubble will not go to heaven with you.
Jesus' Power is needed both for salvation and to live the Christian life. Are you seeking it?
In Matthew 9:20-22 we have the account of an interruption Jesus had as He was on His way to Jairus' home. Jesus never lets an interruption bother Him. Instead, He turns it into a new opportunity to minister. "And behold, a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak; for she was saying to herself, 'If I only touch His garment, I shall get well.' But Jesus turning and seeing her said, 'Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well,' And at once the woman was made well."
We need to understand a Jewish ceremonial law to understand the true nature of the suffering this woman had been enduring for twelve years. According to Leviticus 15, a woman is unclean during her menstrual flow and remains unclean until seven days after her blood flow has stopped at which time she is to give the appropriate sacrifice before she is declared clean again. In addition, essentially everything she touched would also become unclean and an unclean person could not participate in the public worship of God. She could not go to the temple or to the synagogue, and because anyone who touched her or touched something she had touched would also be unclean, she was essentially shut out from most normal social activities. She had endured this for twelve continuous years. (Interesting that this is the same length of time Jairus' daughter had been alive enjoying life while this woman endured a living death). The woman was desperate to be cured. Mark and Luke tell us that she had spent all her money on various doctors trying to find a cure, but no one could cure her.
She had obviously heard about Jesus and had believed that He could heal her. The question was how she, an unclean woman, could be able to approach Jesus to be healed. She struck upon a plan. She would approach Jesus from behind and touch His garment. If Jesus was so powerful to heal, then certainly, she reasoned, just touching his garment would be enough, and this way Jesus would not know that He was touched by an unclean woman. As Jesus was passing by on His way to Jairus' home, she carried out her plan, but Jesus did notice her. Let's face it, you cannot sneak up on God and get away. But she received more compassion and grace than she had bargained for. Listen again to Jesus' words, "Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well," or literally and more properly, "your faith has saved you." No condemnation, but compassion and forgiveness. According to Mark and Luke, her bleeding stopped immediately after she touched Jesus. Now Jesus confirms not just the physical healing, but spiritual healing as well. Such is the compassion and grace of our Lord to those that seek Him out.
Let me make a brief remark here just because this particular passage is so often used by some to say that you can claim your healing from God. The gospel accounts record multitudes of people being healed completely apart from any faith on their part including the centurion's servant that was healed without having any contact with Jesus and perhaps without even being aware that he might be healed. Jairus' daughter was dead, so there could be no faith on her part. In addition, Jesus' healings were apart from the person's personal faith in Him as Messiah. In Luke 17 we find ten lepers cleansed by Jesus, but only one turned back to glorify God and give thanks to Jesus and was saved. Ten were cleansed & healed from their leprosy, but only one was saved. Let's be careful about the claims people make. Jesus healed by His sovereign will, often in response to faith, but never conditioned by it, and the same is still true today.
Jesus now continues to Jairus' home and arriving there he finds quite a commotion because the professional mourners have already arrived. Look at verse 23, "And when Jesus came into the official's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd in noisy disorder . . .". Mark & Luke record the people as "loudly weeping, wailing, and lamenting." Understand that in Jewish custom, as in many other near-eastern lands, the death of a person does not bring about quiet voices and somber music, but loud wailing and music played in discord that can be described more as noise than anything else. The purpose was not to quiet the spirit and console, but to proclaim the agony of the loss. Jewish funerals involved three prescribed ways of expressing grief and lamentation. First, tearing one's garments (which we do not find Jairus doing since he is with Jesus and is looking to Jesus to raise her from the dead). Second, is hiring professional women mourners. They would not only wail the name of the one who just died, but also that of other family members who have died so that old grief is added to new grief. (Their shrieking, wailing, and groaning were enough to cause grief). The third way of expressing grief was hiring professional musicians, most commonly flute-players, who would play loud, disconcerting sounds meant to reflect the emotional discord and confusion of grief.
The Talmud records that even a poor man whose wife had died should to hire at least two flute players and one wailing woman. Jairus was the chief elder of the temple and no doubt a man of some wealth. There would have had been quite a commotion going on when Jairus arrived with Jesus and His disciples.
Jesus immediately prepared to put things back in order. First was to get rid of the professional mourners. Verse 24, "He began to say, 'Depart; for the girl has not died, but is asleep." And they began laughing at Him." It was the hard, hearty laughter of someone gloating over someone who has just made a foolish statement. Isn't it obvious the shallowness of these professional mourners? One moment they are wailing and crying in fake sorrow. The next they are rolling with laughter at what they considered an absurd statement. Someone in true sorrow could not have reacted as they did.
Jesus exercised His power in verses 25 & 26, "But when the crowd had been put out, He entered and took her by the hand; and the girl arose" (Mark and Luke add that Jesus said to her, "Child, arise!"). And this news went out into all the land. Jesus had fulfilled Jairus' request. His daughter had been raised from the dead.
Some have tried to discount this saying that the girl was not really dead, but in a coma. They point out in Matthew 9:24 that Jesus said that the girl was not dead, but asleep. There are four reasons I believe the girl was dead and Jesus did raise her up from the dead. 1) The report of all those watching her was that she was dead. 2) Jesus' statement can be taken in the same sense that He said of Lazarus in John 11:11, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awaken him out of sleep." The word "sleep" is a general euphemism for death, but Jesus used it for someone who was not permanently dead. Lazarus was dead and so was this little girl, but neither was permanently dead because Jesus was going to raise them up again. 3) The flow of this whole section of Matthew makes little sense if the girl was only in a coma. Matthew has been building his case that Jesus is the Messiah and presenting increasing proofs of His authority over different things. He started with authority over disease and physical affliction, then over nature, then over the supernatural, then authority to forgive sin. It would make little sense for Matthew to now return to stating Jesus' authority over disease. The ultimate authority over disease is to be able to reverse the process once the ailment has taken the life. That is what I believe Matthew does here in showing Jesus raised her from the dead. And 4) the passage in Luke 8:55 specifically says, "And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately." Death is the separation of the spirit from the body and here we find it returning to the body. Death had occurred.
Matthew concludes in verse 26, "And this news went out into all that land." The news of Jesus' authority over death was spread throughout the country. Jesus was not just a nice man, a good teacher, but a man that could do what only God Himself can do. Jesus was God in human flesh.
Jesus' complete power over death is not proven in the case of Jairus' daughter, though certainly it demonstrates that He had significant control over death. D.L. Moody was asked to do a funeral, so he searched the scriptures to find what message Jesus would bring at a funeral. He found that Jesus never gave a funeral message, instead Jesus raised up the deceased at every funeral He attended. That is significant power over death, but both Jairus' daughter and Lazarus who had died and were brought back to life by Jesus would have to die again. They were not given eternal physical life. All those that Jesus had healed would have eventually gotten sick or suffered some malady and died. Jesus' power over death would only be proved if He Himself could conquer death and remain alive. And that is what we find in Matthew 28 and Acts 1. Recall that Jesus had been crucified as the payment for our sin just three days before on Friday. He cried out, "It is finished" and gave up His spirit. The soldiers came and pierced his side with blood and water running out. They took His body, laid it in Joseph's tomb and a guard was sent. Now look at Matthew 28:1-10.
28:1 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. 2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. 3 And his appearance was like lightning, and his garment as white as snow; 4 and the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5 And the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 6 "He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. 7 "And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going before you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you." 8 And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus ^said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they shall see Me."
Eventually over 500 people saw the resurrected Jesus. Jesus had conquered death Himself. But would He remain alive? YES. At the end of Matthew Jesus claimed that He had all authority in heaven and earth and He promised that He would be with us even to the end of the age. He would not die again. In Acts 1:9-11 we find that Jesus ascends into heaven and that He will return some day in the same manner.
Jesus had conquered death and He has provided a means for us to conquer it through Him. Canadian scientist G.B. Hardy once said in his examination of various religions with regard to the two questions, has anyone ever conquered death, and if so, did they make a way for me to conquer it, "I checked the tomb of Buddha, and it was occupied, and I checked the tomb of Confucius, and it was occupied, and I checked the tomb of Mohammed and it was occupied, and I came to the tomb of Jesus and it was empty. And I said there is one who conquered death. And I asked if a way was made for me to do it? And I opened the Bible and discovered that Jesus said, 'Because I live, you shall live also'" (John 14:19).
True Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ because it is the pivotal point of history, it is the proof that all of Jesus' promises are true and so we are confident that our sins are forgiven, and one day He will return to take us to be with Him in heaven forever. We say with Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:55, "O death where is your victory? O death where is your sting?" Death's power has been broken. Do you share that hope? If you do, rejoice and tell someone else about it today. If you do not, talk with me or one of our Elders today and let us introduce you to our resurrected Lord Jesus Christ and tell you how you can have this same confidence.

I've certainly been jumping around with my scrapbook pages this month! From Ocean City to Shrewsbury and now on to Disney. It looks like we get around more than I might think!
I've finally gotten around to documenting the fun Date Night we had in Disney when we went courtesy of Stampin' Up! They took us to the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. I shared the story here on my blog after we went on our trip in spring 2012.
I saw a sketch for this layout and had a desire to use black, white and grays, but I have to admit, I had a hard time deciding which pictures to use on the layout, it's a great layout for any theme! When I came across these pictures though, I knew they were the ones for this page.
I think this layout would be perfect for black & white photos, unfortunately, as much as I like black & white, I really don't have very many.
This is the third layout we will make in Scrap Club this month. It's simple, and perfect for every occasion. I look forward to sharing it with club members on the 16th!
Happy Monday!

100 Pounds Lost
Weight Loss Before and After: Michelle's Amazing 137 Pound Weight Loss Journey
My name is Michelle and I have lost 137 pounds in the last 2 years.
In January 2011 I weighed in at 357. I couldn't breathe. I ate, slept, and worked and that was it. I was getting to the point where I was scared of dying. A wife and a mother or 2 young girls, I needed to take care of myself.
I joined an online website called Sparkpeople. They have an amazing calorie/exercise tracker. The first few months all I could do is walk. Slowly I increased my exercise. Month by month I was shedding pounds and by the end of July I had lost 100 pounds.
Since then I have lost another 37 pounds with some struggle in 2012. I started feeling bad in February and I went to the doctor. I ended up having 3 heart stents put in. I was sick. I am only 30 years old. The doctor told me if I wouldn't have lost the weight the previous year it could have been much worse. Probably open heart surgery.
I'm looking forward to reaching my goal weight this year.
I started my own Facebook page named "Leaving Obesity Behind" where I currently have 10,700 followers. I'm hoping I can motivate others, and let them know they can change their life through changing your diet and exercise.
Thank you!
starting weight: 357 pounds
current weight; 220 lbs

There is only one creature in all of the universe who has mastered the balance of ruling with both an iron fist and a gentle touch.
From the beginning of time women were created to sustain life.
First there was God, and then there was a woman.
A fruitful, reproducing, recreating – woman.
Who was designed to forgive every time she was lashed out on.
She was made to be both aesthetically pleasing as well as spiritually healing.
She is the foundation of all man can create, yet takes no reward or recognition.
She had to first be in existence before any man could even be thought of.
Every minute of every day since the day she was created, she has fought for life.
With every passing season she sacrifices her labors for the common good.
And when she dare fluctuates in disposition man has the audacity to curse and blame her.
They forget the day she was made to be celebrated, yet never fail to broadcast their grievances against her.
Yet still…she loves.
She gives until there is nothing left and from the ash she creates more to offer.
From the belly of her being she is made of fire that burns for every body she looks after.
She knows no rest. While everyone else sleeps, she uses the stillness to mend what man destroyed, only to watch them tear it apart again with the rising of the sun.
Very few were taught how to love her.
She goes day after day being walked on by ignorance of men who never bothered to learn how to touch her, yet their hands are always dirty, covered in her atoms.
She has loved so deeply and desperately she gave man the illusion he was in power,
Hoping he would be in charge, yet knowing he could never.
While he abused his way to domination, he forgot that it is her parts he used to build his pedestal, because there is no other material in existence powerful enough to hold the weight of his ego.
In her softness and the waves of her body man forgot that the ocean is both used for baptism and drowning.
She took so much detail to be perfected that even God had to rest after he was done with her creation.
They chose the word Mother before Nature for a reason.
To every female who reads this, and even those that do not, today I praise you out loud. Today I praise myself. Today we should all praise one another for not only surviving, but for excelling. We have grown up in societies that told us quiet was better, softer was better, and that servant-hood was our purpose. We were taught by parents and grandparents that it wasn't that we came last, it was just that our place was always in second. I praise you for now realizing that the race they created only had two contestants. To the women who were taught that submission was the equivalence of love, I praise you. Because your beating heart is proof that you've always known other wise. To the women who died anonymous because their voices were only loud enough to be a whisper in their time, we hear you. No matter how quiet your voices seamed, they are the echo to every one of our screams. To the girls who don't know just yet what battles have come with being a female, I pray you never do. But if you should, know that never again will you be alone in your suffering and never again will we stand there and take it. To every woman, despite what they have taught us there is beauty in vulnerability but never once is there weakness. To every woman, who was told to cross her legs and close her mouth, to every woman who has ached alone so no one else would have to, to every woman who painted heart break with pinks and reds and lipstick stains, to every woman…I praise you.
Happy International Women's Day.

I had my car inspected last week, and by the time my mechanic was through finding everything it needed, my bill looked like an inventory list from "Auto Parts R Us."
Even worse, I had no car for three days while he was working on it, so I had to rely on my husband to chauffeur me around in his van. I won't drive his van, not only because it's too big for me to handle, but also because I have too much respect for mailboxes and pedestrians to plow them down.
As usual, my husband had to wait for me to get ready when I asked him to take me to the bank and post office.
"Are you almost ready?" he shouted at me through the bathroom door.
When I told him I'd be only a couple minutes longer, he added, "I'll be out in the van, then, waiting."
What usually happens in the winter when he waits for me in the van is he'll sit in the garage until he is about to succumb to hypothermia, then he'll start up the van, back it out of the garage and turn on the heater. He told me he doesn't dare run the van in the garage, even with the garage doors open, because by the time I come out, he'll be dead from carbon-monoxide poisoning.
When I finally emerged from the house 20 minutes later, I walked out to the driveway and reached for the door handle on the van. The next thing I knew, I was lying on my side on the ground.
A patch of ice had caught me completely off guard. My feet had slid out sideways from underneath me with such speed, I hadn't even had time to brace myself for the fall.
My husband, still sitting in the driver's seat, had no idea I was on the ground. He finally rolled down the window on the passenger's side.
"Are you there?" he shouted. "Where'd you go?"
"I'm here...on the ground!" I shouted back.
"What're you doing down there?"
"Oh, I just decided to take a quick nap!" I said mostly to myself. When there was no response, I added, "I slipped on the ice."
"Are you OK?"
"I don't know yet!"
"What can I do?" he asked, his voice sounding panicky. "I don't have my cane. I hadn't planned on getting out of the van today, especially on ice! If I tried, I'd slip and fall, too! And I left my cell phone on the counter!"
So basically I was on my own. In our old neighborhood, I'd have had three or four neighbors rushing out to help me the minute I fell. But out here in the middle of the woods with no one around, my only hope was to wait for a passing deer and grab onto it.
That TV commercial with the elderly lady lying on her kitchen floor and shouting for help, only to have to lie there for a month-and-a-half before her neighbor finally finds her, came to mind. I had visions of my husband sitting in the van, afraid to move it because he might run over me, and afraid to get out because he might fall, staying right where he was until we both turned into giant Popsicles.
After a minute or so, I finally gathered my courage and tried to move, fully expecting to feel intense pain somewhere. I cautiously tested one body part at a time to see if it worked. To my relief, everything seemed to be working just fine. And miraculously, nothing hurt. I figured all of my extra body fat must have cushioned my fall. In fact, I was surprised I hadn't bounced a few times when I first hit the ground.
I managed to get to my hands and knees, and then up onto my knees. I reached up and grabbed the door handle, pulled myself up and brushed off my snow-covered pant legs. When I finally opened the van door, my husband's eyes made a quick sweep over me, as if he expected to see jagged bones sticking out through my clothes.
"I'm fine," I said as I prepared to climb into the van. "I guess having a layer of winter fat has its advantages."
"Brush the back of your coat!" he said. "It's full of snow! You're going to ruin my upholstery!"
I wondered if there had been a bone sticking out of me if he'd have worried about that ruining his upholstery, too.
The rest of the day, until I went to bed that night, I kept expecting to feel a stabbing pain pop up somewhere – a delayed reaction to my flop on the ice. When nothing happened, I convinced myself I probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning because every muscle in my body would stiffen up as I slept.
The next morning, when there still were no aches, I checked my body for what I expected would be an array of giant black-and-blue marks. I had visions of my skin looking like a dark purple version of a giraffe's hide
I found only one bruise, on the side of my calf. It was about the diameter of a pencil eraser.
"How are you doing?" my husband asked when I came out to the kitchen.
"My leg is bruised," I said. "I think I'm just going to take it easy today. Will you feed the dogs and then let them out?"
"Sure," he said. "You just relax and take care of yourself, OK?"
That'll teach him to worry about his upholstery.

Site of the Day
Wednesday, December 6, 2006: Here's my vote for site of the day: http://www.blogsoldiers.com/?rid=3271 Please go there and give me more credits. It's very cold out today and I was forced to spend all of 5 entire minutes scraping the ice off my car windows. Christmas fast approaches. I just hope it doesn't snow a lot. A woman I spoke to on one of my blogs yesterday got a good idea. She said it should snow only for Christmas and there should be nice weather the rest of the time.

Cloudy Monday, Sunny Tues, Wed, Thurs
Coming out of the Mexican restaurant Saturday evening with the Dollar Tree Queen and me with my traditional post-meal ice cream, someone on the sidewalk, a stranger made a remark about eating ice cream in April when it's this cold etc., and of course, DTQ was shaking and her teeth chattering as though we were dining out in the artic in some desolate igloo on a snowy windswept plain. To me, it ain't that cold. I like it cold, I like to sleep in a cool room. Still, in the truck, I let her wear my Townsquare Media jacket neatly folded on the back seat and offered to turn on the heater. I was wearing shorts by the way.
So yes it's been unseasonably cool for April but I love it and will take and absorb every last sweat-free breath of each cooler than the normal day that is left and enjoy it before the stifling August-September motivation killing sweltering summer heat gets here. At which time the sidewalk stranger turned commentator on others lives might very well remark: it's so hot these days, how nice it'd be to have a giant vat of ice cream to dive into. All the while the soles of his shoes frying on the evening sidewalk while he waited in line to get inside for the spicy churritos.
Some of the time you can't please all of the people.
These semi-mild cold fronts are bound to run out and a return to routine warmer weather will be the eventual outcome. So hang on, your cold weather willie-nillies will soon be a memory.
Cloudy Warmer Start to The Week
Most of the clouds will be around through Monday evening with occasional peaks of the sun. Warmer upper-level air will prevent as much cooling at the surface and so tonight will be warmer than last night but still pretty cool for April. Temperatures overnight will be about 52-54 for the morning lows.
By late Monday a cold front should ease into the area that could potentially touch off some localized thunderstorms, most likely near the coast with some inland. No steady downpour or soakings are expected.
Tuesday - Friday should be pretty amazing days for this time of year with only a few minor cloud interruptions of the sun, the afternoon temperatures will hover in the lower 80s. The overnight lows in the 49°- 55° zone.
As for next weekend, it's really hard to tell right now as I've misplaced my almanac but my right elbow twinge senses another small front 4-6 days out breaching the Sabine River into our area later in the week. But that all could change.

All staff that I have encountered are very friendly and welcoming. My counselor is very patient with me and seems to get my personality which I think is helpful. The only issue is that I wish my appointments with the psychiatrist were a bit longer, but other than that I'm pretty happy with everything so far.
Raechel Yeatman, 2 years ago
Apex Counseling and especially Dr. Jeffrey have been a huge help in my life. They did a great job of getting me an appointment and therapist as fast as possible. It was extremely obvious they want to make sure their clients are taken care of. Dr. Jeffrey was given my case, something I feel very lucky about. Every appointment he gives new perspectives and connects the dots on how to improve my life. Furthermore, he's very relatable and knows things are hard but helps you find ways they can get better. I feel like the techniques he gives me are ones I can take with me for the rest of my life.
Kevin Wellons, 2 years ago
I love Apex Counseling Center! The staff is very respectful, kind, and understanding. They are very welcoming and has made me feel comfortable since my first appointment. I feel like everyone I see on a regular basis makes me feel like they HONESTLY care about me and other patients. I don't feel like it's all about money with Apex, I feel like they actually care about my well-being. They have my best interest at heart. I feel that everyone there actually cares and encourages me to get better and do better The women at the front desk are always so kind and sweet, especially Ingrid. Dr. Astrada is very patient and understanding. He listens to how you feel, and he makes me feel like he actually cares. My therapist is Jeffrey. He is the best therapist I have ever had. He is very respectful. He always knows just what to say. He always has me to look at things from different perspectives. He offers great suggestions. He gives me great techniques and exercises for me to practice to help with my anxiety and other things I go through. And they work. I was very depressed when I first seen Jeffrey, he has help me to get through that dark time and come out stronger. I have made more progress in the past year since I have been going to apex, and have sessions with Jeffrey, than I have in my 31 years. I put the work in to change my life, but Jeffrey has encouraged me the whole way. Jeffrey encourages me to follow my dreams, and helps me to attain my goals. I am truly grateful for Apex and the staff that God placed in my life to help me change my life. I would and do recommend Apex to everyone, family and friends. If Apex Counseling can help me change my life, then I know they can help anyone change their life.
Lynsey Neiser, 2 years ago
My daughter started seeing Jeff as our family was entering into a seperation period. My fear was that she would have a hard time opening up but that was laid to rest immediately. Jeff was able to get her to open up and he also taught her ways to handle her emotions in a healthy way which was life changing. I'm very appreciative of Apex and Jeff specifically for helping our family. I highly recommend Jeff to work with children who may be suffering from depression and anxiety.
Hope Skies, 2 years ago
Best place I've gotten treatment (medication management and therapy) in Baltimore. Therapist Jeff and psychiatrist Dr. Astrada listen to me and let me be an active participant in my wellness. At Apex, I had the GeneSight test done to see which psych meds are most compatible with my DNA. Turns out the drugs the nurse practitioner (no longer at Apex) prescribed were the perfect match. Give Apex a try.
Jasmine Carter, 2 years ago
I really enjoy working with Jeff. I've been seeing therapist almost my whole life. I like the way Jeff breaks things down and explains things to me. I look forward to each session because I feel he does help me with the new coping skills and stuff he showed me to deal with my stress. I would definitely recommend him.

At Apex Counseling Center, located in scenic Baltimore, Maryland, individualized addiction treatment programs are aimed at fitting the specific requirements of the patient. With unique treatment plans that are tailor-made to suit the individual, addicts will have every opportunity to overcome their addiction.
Just before the patient begins treatment at Apex Counseling Center, a comprehensive patient assessment will be conducted in order to determine which treatment method will work best. No matter what age group the individual belongs to, treatment is available to those of all ages . In order to obtain a life that is free of addiction, the addict has to be in the mindset of 'recovery'. This means that the idea of sobriety is already planted in the individual's mind and therefore will want to work toward achieving that goal.
The dedicated staff members at Apex Counseling Center are committed to the recovery of the patient and will do everything in their power to help them throughout this trying time. Reaching personal life goals is possible but it requires the addict to kick the habit of abusing drugs and alcohol in order to obtain them. This is exactly why facilities for addiction treatment exist.
There is no reason that treatment shouldn't begin today, so contact Apex Counseling Center and discuss the various treatment options today. Breaking the cycle of addiction is difficult which is why treatment facilities are here to help. Typically speaking, addicts fail when it comes to seeking treatment on their own as not all facilities out there are as reputable as others. At Apex Counseling Center, the staff is dedicated to helping their patients succeed in recovery. It's never too late to seek help and assistance with drug or alcohol addiction.
Apex Counseling Center strives to show addicts that there is a life outside of addiction and through treatment; Addicts will be able to take control of their lives. Patients are also urged to attend relapse prevention programs even after treatment is completed in order to mitigate the chances of relapse in the future.
The time to get help for addiction is now.

- Olivier Messiaen, "Turangalila - Symphonie: II. Chant d'amour 1": This
was an unexpected wonderful surprise. A few years ago, my older brother gave me
a book on Stockhausen, who is a fascinating guy on an intellectual level, but
whose music I find absolutely unlistenable. The book talks about Stockhausen's period studying with Messiaen. I was expecting Messiaen to be another one of "those 12-tone guys"; I've never been able to develop an ear for 12-tone. But I decided to give Messiaen
a listen, and was amazed. He's not exactly an easy listen, but it's beautiful music. It's
very dissonant, frequently atonal, and yet melodic. This section of the symphony is extremely dramatic, almost theatrical. It's really a beautiful piece of music.
- Peter Schickele, "Funeral Oration from 'Julius Ceasar'": from the sublime to ridiculous... A doo-wop funeral oration based on Shakespeare.
- The Tempest, "The Winning Game": What a great song! I've lately totally fallen
for "The Tempest". It's a group that started as a collaboration between Andy Tillison and Roine Stolte. They've got members from Tillison's old band (Parallel or 90 degrees),
Stolte's band (the Flower Kings), and Van Der Graff Generator. It's some of the best
neo-progressive rock you'll find anywhere. Stolte later left their band, which resulted
in a serious change in the band's sound, but both before and after Stolte, they're
an amazing group, with wonderful compositions and absolutely dazzling performances.
- King Crimson, "Frame by Frame": One of the things that King Crimson has been
able to do is to combine some of the most far-out experimental progressive rock with
some wonderfully catchy, easy-to-listen-to pop songs. This is a great example of that;
Frame by Frame is a very catchy poppy song, and yet it's incredibly deep and complex.
- Porcupine Tree, "Dislocated Day": some older Porcupine Tree. PT did one
really wacky album of mostly very long-form neo-progressive tapestries. This is off
of that album.
- Marillion, "Essence": a track off of Marillion's brilliant new album. Just
go buy it!
- Isis, "Holy Tears": what were the odds that I could get through a FRT
without some post-rock? Isis is a post-rock band on which leans towards the
heavy-metal end of the post-rock spectrum. They're terrific - great composition,
great performance. They do sometimes use vocals, which is fine; but a bit too
often, the vocals are distorted shrieks. This track uses a bit of that; it's OK
in moderation; in fact, I really like this track a lot. But listening to too much
Isis at a time, that use of shrieking growl vocals gets to me.
- Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, "Misunderstood": I used to be a huge
Flecktones fan. But I despise Jeff Cofflin, the saxaphone player they added
a few years ago. I just simply cannot stand to listen to the guy - he's absolutely
awful. He's incredibly predictable - the guy's got the creativity of a
a small rock; he knows how to play at exactly one volume - too damned loud;
and he's in love with stupid gimmicks. He's playing on this track, so guess
what I think of it?
- Tony Trischka, "Hawaii Slide-O": interesting that this came up in the shuffle
right after Bela. Tony is Bela's former banjo teacher. (I've taken lessons from Tony
as well; Tony is a great guy who's happy to give lessons to anyone who's
interested.) This track is Tony experimenting with playing slide banjo. Back when
I was taking lessons with him, I heard an early version of this track - he was
showing me what he was working on at the time, and he'd just started playing with
a slide on the banjo for the first time in years. Tony is a fabulous musician,
and I love everything on this album. (In fact, I can't think of anything Tony's done
which I haven't loved.)
- Rachel's, "Where have all my files gone?": more post-rock, this time from the
classical end of things. Rachel's is an amazing group. This is very typical of their
sound. Very atmospheric, beautiful.

Wow...thanks for turning me on to Messaien! Turangalila evoked some spontaneous chuckles.
I'll be working my way through the rest of your list.

Have you listened to messiaen's quartet for the end of time? It's a wonderful piece exploring his idea of eternity that he wrote while in a Nazi prisoner of war camp (not a concentration camp).

I'm tied for my favorite on the new Marillion album between Essence and Man from Planet Marzipan.
In hindsight, I don't see Somewhere Else all that strongly, aside from the title track (which I adore). It's like Somewhere Else would be a great album...except it's between Marbles and Happiness, both of which are so excellent as to overshadow almost anything.
Conductor Sir Simon Rattle produced a 7 part documentary on the classical music of the 20th Century, and Messiaen was a key piece on the chapter/episode on Color, extending from Debussy and Ravel. He used Tarangulila as the main work for Messiaen and I promptly had to get a copy the next day!

As a teenager I had the pleasure of attending a live performance of the Turangalila at the Royal Festival Hall in London in the presence of the composer in honour of his sixtieth birthday and featuring his wife on piano and his sister in law on the ondes Martenot, an early electronic instrument that sounds a lot like a Theremin. It was a mind warping experience that led me to buying a lot of his very beautiful music.

No, I haven't listened to that yet. I just purchased Turangalila about a week ago, and that's the first time I ever listened to Messiaen. I'm going to go order the quartet right now :-).

Re Joe:
I never liked Somewhere Else. Nothing on it ever grabbed me, and I almost never listen to it - it gets listened to less than any other Marillion album other than the dreadful "Holidays in Eden". I think it was a very mediocre album.

If you like Isis without the vocals, try Pelican, Red Sparowes, or MGR.

If you haven't heard of them, check out Russian Circles. They are kind of like Isis (although I don't think as good).
- Log in to post comments
One of my favorite things about Isis is the somplicity of it. when you deconstruct the music into component layers, there's deliberately no technical virtuosity, just solid music and texture.

Agreed on "Quartet for the End of Time" (which I think I learned about from a Tom Disch novel).
Listen the first time before you read anything about it.

Ahh, thanks for reminding me of "Frame by Frame". Takes me back to the 80s when I'd cruise around in my '72 240Z listening to "Discipline". Mind-blowing stuff.

More a long the line of Isis, Cult of Luna are pretty obvious, but slightly more obscure are Rosetta. The core of the band is very like Isis (the vocals are very screamy, actually hardcore derived, but fit well), but they use a lot of layered ambient. As in entire ambient tracks in the vein of Jesu combined with post-rock/metal/sludge tracks.

The apples bring a crisp sweetness to the slaw and the miso and Parmesan pack a big umami punch.
Technique tip: If you don't have a mandoline, you can buy pre-sliced Brussels sprouts. You can also use a vegetable peeler to make the Parmesan shavings.
Swap options: You can use rice wine vinegar or champagne vinegar instead of cider vinegar. If you want to make it gluten-free, omit the miso. This also works well with Granny Smith apples.
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 large honeycrisp apples, diced with skin on
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 ounces shaved Parmesan cheese
1. Thinly slice the trimmed Brussels sprouts using a mandolin or food processor fitted with the slicer attachment. Transfer sliced Brussels sprouts to a large bowl.
2. In a blender, add extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, cider vinegar, miso, honey and crushed red pepper. Blend until well mixed and frothy.
3. To the sliced Brussels sprouts, add the apple, Parmesan cheese and pecans. Season with salt and pepper. Add dressing and toss to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the Brussels sprouts to wilt slightly and for the flavors to marry.
