Holy Fuck
Remember when you were six and your mom insisted on you taking piano lessons from your elderly neighbour? You figured the big pay-off would come when you got to rock out on one of those newfangled Casio keyboards. When the big day finally came, you plugged that sucker in, and were immediately delighted by that magical contraption. Remember how you got bored of that within 20 minutes? Holy Fuck did not. Infamous for playing ancient, piece of shit Casios, these ambient dudes have become a must-see for the way they mix up insane noise-making gadgets that have never before been used to make listenable music. And hey, Stephen Harper singled them out for being obscene, so they must be pretty epic, right?
Sept. 30
Montreal, meet the princess of gothic pop. Grimes evokes a musical sensibility that is unwordly yet painfully human. Mostly, her songs sound like sonic love letters to someone (or something) who lives on a different planet.
Sept. 30
Twin Sister
Twin Sister are a quartet reigning from the uber-hip music scene of Brooklyn, NY. Their songs are atmospheric and stormy, yet remain grounded, cool and collected. Twin Sister's lead singer is a cooing
and enchanting Andrea Estella. She has the sort of airy, committed voice that I would follow straight to hell, if that were where she wanted to take me.
Sept. 30
Lunice and Hovatron
If you're into Dubstep—and I have it on good authority that all of the kids are these days—then you either already know about Lunice and Hovatron, or you're sorely missing out. Each will be playing a set at Club Lambi on Thursday. The event runs from 10 p.m. and will continue until your mind has been zapped to death by brawling, brainy beats.

As the IICSA inquiry wraps up three weeks of devastating evidence into the Church of England's handling of child sexual abuse in Chichester, we're reminded of the
urgency of the case for secularism. During the hearings it's repeatedly been clear how deference to religion helped to allow entitled clergy to cover up grotesque
Separating religion from public life is the only way to safeguard the rights of everyone, no matter what their religious background or personal beliefs. But the
finding this week that almost three-quarters of young people in the UK say they have no religion is still a striking reminder that the treatment of religion in
public life is incongruous with the views of the country's people. We'll be encouraging politicians to reflect on both the need and appetite for change.

The NSS has called for religious hospital chaplaincy to end after a court accepted a bishop's right to block a gay man from an NHS role.
The NSS has welcomed the repeal of a Scottish law which restricted football fans' freedom of expression on religion in an attempt to tackle sectarianism.
The NSS has urged City of Edinburgh Council to ensure secular cremation arrangements are provided as standard.
"A terrible week with evidence of religious exceptionalism, stupidity, incompetence, lying, dumping responsibility at every level including the highest, and

We have developed a curriculum which is relevant, challenging and led by the interests and needs of the children. It is driven by the National Curriculum as well as local, national and international events such as the Olympics, general elections and national celebrations.
We aim to make as much use of our local area as possible and plan for all children to take part in outdoor learning, local visits and cultural activities, such as cinema and theatre performances.
Curriculum for 2019-2020
Numbers vary from year to year and our class structure reflects this.
In 2019, teaching and learning in Early Years and Key Stage 1 is organised as follows:
Children begin nursery the term after they are three. They can attend a combination of mornings and afternoons across the week. In nursery, although the planned themes are those followed by the rest of the year groups, teaching and learning is very much responsive to the children's needs and interests and follows the guiding principles of the statutory framework for the early years foundation stage.
Reception and Year 1.
These children are grouped into two separate classes. These two classes follow the framework for EYFS for the reception children but then ensure that the year 1 children receive the National Curriculum expectations for their year group.
Year 2
Teaching and learning in this class also follows National Curriculum expectations, with differentiated work wherever necessary.
Curriculum in EYFS and Key Stage 1
The focus in these year groups is on the learning of key knowledge and the application of key skills. We are focussing particularly on reading and have chosen key texts carefully across all year groups to support children's learning across the curriculum.
In 2019-20 the long term plans are arranged into themes which are :
|Year 1
|Year 2
These plans then form the basis of medium term plans.
Key Stage 2 - years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
These children are organised into single year group classes.
Curriculum in Key Stage 2
Teaching makes links with prior learning in previous years, as well as introducing new concepts and ideas. Planning covers the knowledge and skills in each subject for each year group and makes links across the curriculum, wherever possible. The yearly plans for each class are available below:
|Year 4
|Year 5
|Year 6
As in EYFS and KS1, these plans then form the basis of medium term plans.

To You.
Thank you for your commitment to educating my child, not just equipping her for her future career but helping her to set her eyes on things above.
I pray that you will equip her well. If you are a science teacher, teach her science in the best way you can...with Christ's help. Recognising that she is not just my daughter, but she is a daughter of the Most High King.
If you are a junior school teacher teach her the foundations of literacy and numeracy well, helping her to create a curiosity for God's creation. And do it the best that you can, with Christ's help. Recognising that she is not just my daughter, but a daughter of the Most High King.
But don't just equip her head. Help her appreciate the promises that are set out in the Scriptures for her. Help her to understand that the Creator of the Universe desires to have a relationship with her. Help her to know that even when things are not going as she would hope in life that Jesus is still King.
When she leaves your school be certain that she knows her value, her identity, her purpose and that, ultimately if she trusts God and places her calling in His hands that she can do immeasurably more than she could ever dream or imagine.
But please don't preach at her.
Don't start science with an undirected dissertation of the scriptures.
Rather help her discover God's incredible creation and remind her that as Creator, God cares so much more for her than He does for the birds of the air and the flowers in the field.
As a Christian Educator help her to value and love prayer.
Don't teach her that prayer is a religious activity that happens at certain times of the day with set prayers. Do more than just praying at the beginning of the day, lunchtime and the end of the day. Expose her to more than just students praying, 'thank you for today, pray that nobody gets hurt, amen'.
Rather, teach her to love prayer and see it as an ongoing conversation with her Creator and the lover of her soul...not just the mindless regurgitation of a cosmic wish list. Please model meaningful and authentic prayer to her, a conversation of respect between her and the sustainer of Life.
And help her to love the Scriptures.
Don't relegate Scripture memorisation to a thoughtless homework task. The memorising patterns of words from the Bible that will be assessed on Friday and replaced with another pattern of words on Monday. Something that is punishable but writing out over and over and over if she has pattern wrong on Friday.
Rather, make Scripture a fundamental part of her classroom. Let it be revisited and unpacked with such frequency that it would be almost impossible for her to not hide His Word in her heart. Please do not punish her when she gets it wrong, rather reflect how you could explore different approaches in the class to assure such a strong programme that it is harder for her to fail than it is to succeed.
And please, present the Scriptures to her in such a way that she knows that His Word is relevant to her life now and for her future. Through your passion for His Word help her to develop an insatiable curiosity for the Scripture.
Help her to love worship.
Don't make her numb to worship by putting her in a room where all the students gather together and powerful words about her Creator and what He has done for her go in her eyes and out her mouth without touching anything on the way through.
Rather take time and have her consider the rich truths that the artist has brought to life through song. Promote the stickiness of those words so that they penetrate her mind and saturate her heart.
Please don't be offended but know that just because you are a Christian teacher, it does not mean that my daughter will experience Christian Education in your classroom.
Rather the quality of the Christian Education that she experiences in your classroom will be proportional to the intentionality that you put into both the subtle and overt experiences she has of Christ, the Scriptures and in her curriculum and how you as the teacher model what it is to live sold out for Him.
I pray that your love for her as a Christian Educator will not be limited by how much you like her. She is different by design and I love her deeply.
So thank you. Thank you for the way that you will join us in modelling how to be a Christian in this broken world. That you will not just tell her, but show her the Fruit of the Spirit in action and that through who you are, she will understand what it means to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with her Maker.
Praying God's richest blessings for you,
Parents of 'You Know Who'.

- Getting more Christian and less religion in our Christian Schools.
Christian education can be an incredibly transformative force. It can take a life in its infancy, as the life is establishing its understanding, expectation and perspective of the world and bring hope. Hope in a world that is increasingly seeming hopeless. It can help a young person understand that success is not about who dies with the most toys, rather it is about how many others one person can help, not just here on Earth, but for eternity. It can help a young person understand that they are a not the centre of the universe, fulfilment comes when we learn to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind and learn to love our neighbour as ourself. At its essence, Christian Education is counter-cultural. It tells of an alternative narrative to the world that other schools promote. Christian Education compels a view of the world that the world has lost. A view of the world that society no longer wants to see, albeit a world that society needs.
While there is much to celebrate about how Christian Schools' develop Christian thinking in our students, we need also to be aware that Christian Schools can contribute to students developing bad Christian habits. Habits that are less like Christian habits and practices that Jesus tells of and more like religious behaviours that the likes of the Pharisees would be proud of.
It would be safe to assume that most Christian educators have visions of students learning that prayer is an ongoing conversation with their Creator. Visions that our students will create not just a deep knowledge of but a lifelong passion for the Scriptures. Visions that our students will 'hide His Word in their heart so that they will not sin against Him'. Visions that our students will love the unlovable, have 'next level' empathy and be outward looking, looking to not only, 'love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul and strength" but to authentically "love their neighbour as themselves".
Left unchecked, these visions that we have for our students in Christian Education can become religious events that they do because they have to, rather than because they desire to do. Christian activities completed when others are looking. Acts of obedience and not acts of passion or service.
Take a moment to consider the following aspects that will be visible in most Christian Schools. In your school does what you 'do' really lead to the objectives that you have for including them in your school?
Scripture Memorisation: Over the years the most common approach to scripture memorisation I have witnessed has been one best described as ad hoc, almost accidental. Teachers think through the theme of the term or semester and complete a google search for as many verses they need for the topic of work. The scriptures are then given as homework to be tested on Friday. Sadly that is all they become, verses are a homework task, they have no 'life' at all in the classroom. A compliance activity.
The best Scripture Memorisation programmes that I have seen in action include a deliberate choice of scriptures that the school desires their young people to 'hide in their heart' for all that life will bring their way. The verses are not only given as homework, but are a living part of the classroom for the week and are intentionally revisited over the year so that the verses become sticky. The best scripture memorisation program deliberately gets to a place where the students are introduced to the new scripture for the week and they almost complain that they already know this one!
The parroting of 40 random verses over the course of a year because they matched the topic that was being investigated is far from life-giving, is unlikely to lead to lifelong memorising of the scriptures and will never lead to His words being 'hidden in their hearts'. They will simply and painfully be remembered for Friday.
Biblical Literacy: In junior years, the scripture is so often learned as a lovely story with fun characters and exciting plots. Yes, this is God's Word, but the characters and plots are not as important as the principles that we learn through them. In the morning a story from the bible and in the afternoon a story from some fun author.
I have seen school's who do more damage in their Bible programmes than good. The objectives of the programme being learning tools of interpretation, the preferred delivery being preaching or an exegesis of the Scriptures. And worst of all, a place where the students' questions are pushed aside to make sure the teacher gets through their preset curriculum.
The key objectives of a Bible programme must be the development of a life long curiosity of the Scriptures and the training that the Bible is authentic and relevant to our students' lives. Yes, students need the tools to understand and unpack the Scriptures, but these tools are only relevant if the students want to engage with His Word after they leave school.
Yes, the Holy Spirit has a huge part to play in the students ongoing engagement of the Scriptures. However, we need to be sure that we are not putting barriers in place that turn students off.
Prayer: I don't know of a teacher in a Christian School who does not want their students to learn that prayer is an integral part of everyday life. Prayer is full of power, promise and potential. It is a direct line that we have with our Creator and there is not a prayer too big or too small that is not important to Him.
However, so many teachers are guilty of modelling prayer in the exact opposite way for our students. Even though we might teach all the above about prayer, it is often used in a way that is quite the opposite. We pray at the beginning of the day, before lunch and at the end of the day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Students are persuaded that prayer is something that happens certain times of the day, usually following a specific pattern, rather than in the ways that we desire our students will establish prayer in their lives.
Model the prayer life that we desire our students to develop.
Devotions: Most Christian Schools that I know have some time in the day, usually the morning, that is set aside for devotions. We want our students to know that they should set aside in their own life, a time of the day for reading the Scriptures and hearing from God.
While we want our students to spend quality time with God through their devotional time, it is often approached through a clinically premeditated watered down reading prepared by someone who does not know your students, prepared sometimes decades earlier, in the form of a 'devotional' book called 'best ever devotions for girls and boys'.
Why cheapen this important time. The time should be spent on understanding the Bible Verse which is now a living part of your classroom. Unpack God's thoughts on the challenges that your class currently has. If honesty is an issue, focus on honesty; if hurting is an issue, zoom in on loving others; if all is well, focus on God's providence.
The point is that no one knows your class better than you. Why let some devotional book from 1984 provide the framework for making the Scriptures relevant to your class, yes it takes a little more work for the teacher, but the return will be worth it.
Worship: This could be controversial, for some worship will have a place in Christian Schools, while others will argue it is something only for the Church. And don't forget what James writes about worship as an act of service. Service is also something that has a place in Christian Education, however, this focus of worship is about the form of worship that happens in song.
I have come across many Christian Schools who include worship in their assembly of meeting times. I have seen this done well, and I have seen this done poorly.
When worship is done well, it is powerful. There is something incredibly powerful about being in a room full of young people truly worshipping our Saviour. However, done poorly, it is worrisome. You can see in it the way they slouch, their dead eyes, in the way that the words go in their eyes and out their mouths without touching anything on the way through.
In every Christian School there are young Christians and usually even non-Christians who are on a journey. When the powerful words that are in most Christian songs are sung (think meditated on) without having some form of reverence it sends a message about the importance of their message to everyone around them. Dare I say it if there is a real complacency in a school about the way students engage in worship, the first place to change is likely the attitude of the teachers who are possibly marking their rolls or working down the back.
Pharisaic Thinking and Grace: This is a tough one, obviously we cannot promote lawlessness in our Christian Schools, however, how do we maintain a balance of law and grace. What would it take for a graduate of your Christian School to comment, 'I was shown what grace was at my school'.
I am not suggesting that we don't know how to teach about grace, of course we do, but by now you surely understand, the emphasis of this piece of writing is not about what we tell our students, rather, what we do. What students learn about the principles if scripture through our actions, not our words.
Relationships: Teacher to student relationships in Christian Schools have no choice other than to be different to the school down the road.
Grounded in our call for transforming young people, at the heart of Christian Education is a Christ centred Educator whose greatest desire that each of their students will be equipped for their future. Teachers who will do all they can for their student to also become Christian Centred. The process is built on strong relationship and must be able to be defined by one word, love.
Though it is a high calling, there is no room in Christian Education for teachers who do not have a genuine love for each student that they have any responsibility for.
Behaviour Management: This is where one of the differences between the school down the road and the Christ centred Christian School must differentiate. Christian Schools should be places of discipleship, not punishment. Yes, there is a need for consequences, but at the heart of the discipline process should be an absolute commitment to each student's growth.
Consequences should always be fair and at the heart of the discipline process is a balance of acting justly and loving mercy which with God's help will lead to the student walking humbly with our God.
There are many aspects of our Christian Schools which are indented for pure good. However, left unchecked can actually turn our students away from Christ. Below are some questions that could be considered at your school. However, the overriding questions are simple.
Is the way your students experience the 'Christian things' you do conducive to the reason you do them?
Scripture Memorisation
Does your current Scripture Memorisation approach lead to students mastering the most important scriptures you would want your students to have hidden in their heart?
Biblical literacy
Does your current Biblical Literacy programme lead to a life long curiosity of God's Work, or is it just another course?
Do your devotions lead model searching the scriptures in a way that is responsive to the issues your students are facing today...rather than just 'going through' a devotional book that someone foreign to your students wrote twenty years ago?
If you desire your students to sing 'Christian songs' at school, are the words of the songs that they sing passing through their eyes and out their mouths without touching anything on the way through? (if so you are better to sing Yellow Submarine)
Pharisaic Thinking
Are students taught that their Christian walk is a process of growth? If someone was caught in adultery would your response mirror Jesus' or the Pharisees? Is the Christian life about praying in quiet or putting on a big show?
Do the teacher to student relationships better reflect the Pharisaic relationship with their people (judgement) or Christ's relationship for the Church (growth)?
Does prayer in your school look more like a religious activity done at specific times of the day, or model in some way Paul's desire that we pray without ceasing?
Behaviour Management
Does your behaviour management cause the most broken in your community closer to Christ or create a barrier for them to cross....is the focus growth or judgement?
Don't misunderstand me. This is not a post suggesting that we remove the fore mentioned activities from Christian Schools. Quite the opposite. We need these to better feature these in our schools. However, we need to be sure that the way we use them are not contradictory to the objectives that we have for them. Ultimately we pray that as students graduate from our schools they will know without a doubt that each of the above are important aspects to our walk. And, that they did not just learn about their importance through our teaching, rather that they experienced it through our modelling.
Not an easy calling, but a hugely satisfying one.
It might seem too simple to be true. So obvious that it is ludicrous, and many people probably won't want to read to the end as they will determine that this is an issue for other Christian School leaders and not their own - and if your school is flourishing both in quantity and quality then you probably have this sorted so only read on if you what the nice feeling of someone patting you on the back.
And…before I get started, please understand this is a post that will hopefully help some people articulate a better picture of the amazing things that are happening in their school. Sometimes it is not what we do that is the issue, it is how we 'sell' it that is. Please read this post with that in the back of your mind.
In Christian Education there is a close correlation between the ability of the Christian School leader to articulate a compelling vision for their school and their ability to grow. For the school to grow, not just in numbers, but in maturity. So with Christian Schools in many places around the world struggling to fill their rolls with many people struggling to 'afford' Christian Education it is important that we are careful to let people know to the real value of Christian Education.
The tragedy is that too many Christian School leaders simply do not articulate the true value of Christian Education.
We live in a time where there are fewer people wanting to 'invest' money into their children getting a Christian Education. Not because it will not be good for them, rather because the big difference Christian Education makes is not well articulated for them. Is their investment worth it just so that a school will pray or read the Scriptures. Many people do not have the money for that and will instead opt to pray more and read the Scriptures to 'save' their money and send their children to the school down the road.
So is there a way to increase the 'value proposition' for parents? The answer is somewhat found in Simon Sinek's explanation of the difference between trying to sell 'how' versus 'why'. School leaders who can clearly articulate the bigger vision of 'why' Christian Education, rather than defaulting to 'how' we do Christian Education, can be the simple difference between a school that is struggling and a school that is flourishing.
Understandably many parents are thinking deeply about where they spend their money and the concept, or in some cases luxury, of sending their children to a Christian School is something that comes down to a perceived return on investment. And depending on the message that we send out about Christian Education it will either be a luxury that cannot be afforded or something that is priceless and will be invested in at the expense of all else, sometimes.
Consider this. Some parents are looking to send their child to a Christian School so they make their way to the school. While being introduced to the school they are told that the school has a strong academic program, prides itself on praying for their students daily. The sports teams all pray before they play. In this school the Scriptures are read daily and each student has a chance to do devotions to their peers. Students are required to memorise scripture for homework and they only sing Christian songs at assembly.
The parents are impressed by all the Christian things that are done and leave the school considering their options…but it really is going to be a push financially. The parents leave the school worried about the cost to enrol their daughter.
On the other side of town another set of Christian parents are considering the schooling options for their children to drive to the same Christian School as the first couple. However, a different person shows them around the school.
During their visit to the new guide shares the school's vision to transform the lives of young people. To equip young people to fulfil the Great Commission. She explains that the school does their best to educate their students not only academically, but that they will know that completeness comes through learning to 'love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and loving their neighbours as themselves'.
Making mention that recently they have found as a school that they are needing to focus more on the 'as yourself' aspect because many of their young teenagers do not understand that they have value and purpose. That Scripture, worship and prayer were important tools in helping them achieve all that they desire their graduates to become.
Lastly that unlike the 'local' school this school was teaching that there is absolute truth, that the Scriptures are authentic and relevant, that students are designed to love and belong/contribute to society, that fulfilment does not come from having the most money, but through serving God and others in whatever field that God calls them into.
While having to travel across town to attend this school would be a hassle, the second set of parents leave the school worried about the cost of NOT enrolling their children in a Christian School.
Articulation really is one of the biggest threats to Christian Education at the moment. And I have seen it explained this way by many people, from parents, to new teachers looking for a job in a Christian School, to grandparents wanting to invest in their grandchildren's future and to school leaders who have been in Christian Education for decades.
I have asked the question 'why Christian Education?' In many Christian Education forums and the difference is usually black and white. One set of answers has a low-value proposition and the other high. One group of people discuss the things we do in Christian Education. The others explain why we do Christian Education. Transforming lives, equipping for the Great Commission, holistic educational content for the head, hands and heart, teaching students to Love the Lord with their heart, soul and mind and to love their neighbour as themselves, teaching through context that help students understand that they are fearfully and wonderfully made by a loving God who desires a relationship with them.
But there is more to this issue…
Our parents are hands down the most effective marketing strategy that we have for spreading the hope that Christian Education can bring to the next generation. If we struggle to develop and use a vocabulary that articulates the real value of Christian Education, then we cannot expect our parents to do it on their own.
The same scenario happens regularly in our Churches and other community spaces. A parent is considering sending their child to a Christian School and often before they approach the school they will as a parent of a student at your school. The parent's response about either the things you do or the vision you have for your students will determine the 'new' parents likelihood of taking their enquiry further.
QUESTION: How do you 'train' your parents to talk about the vision that you have for your students as the real value of what Christian Education is?
ANSWER: You continually reinforce its message through your newsletters, community meetings, interviews, Facebook entries and in 'carpark conversations'.
When a Christian School moves its focus from the way they do things to why they do things, God can do great things. Not only can He increase quantity, He can inprove quality. However, some Christain Schools value 'what' they do too much to consider returning their focus to 'why' they do them. Therefore questioning whether those things achieve their intended purpose are not questions that are even asked. Take scripture memorisation as an example. The first set of parents met someone who valued that the school had a homework programme that made students memorise Scripture. No doubt the school had a robust programme and the way it worked would be well instituted. However, the second guide was excited that the school wanted students to see the Scriptures as authentic and relevant. The first guide would value the system, while the second would happily review and adjust the system if they found a way to better achieve the ultimate purpose for Scripture memorisation.
QUESTION: Are there systems within your school that are more important than the purpose that they serve?
ANSWER: Yes, if you have systems that are not able to be freely questioned by those implementing them…No, if your school is driving by purpose rather than system driven. (Don't just go removing system! A bad system can still help achieve a purpose, it just may not be the best way anymore.)
Start with your mission, vision, purpose statements. How are they going? What common vocabulary do you, your staff and your community have that articulate the value that this vision has for the graduates of your school? Is there anything missing in your purpose? THEN…when you are really brave, take a look at how your vision is manifest in each classroom, talked about by your staff and experienced by your students.
At the end of the day, talking about the hope you have for your students will only go so far if your school is not intentional about making that a reality…of course, with God's help, all things are possible.
Is the difference between your school growing and not growing (quantity and quality) a result of the vocabulary that you are using?
Value the power of what a quality Christian Education can do, not the things we do in Christian Education.
All the best for the conversations.

The BIG Thing about Christian Education
Septic Religious Invasion and the Christian School
Such a curious thought, that I would have a calling on my life. A purpose.
Knowing you have a calling can be the most fulfilling aspect of living. Yet, not know what that calling is can be paralysing.
It can be what wakes you up in the morning, but it can equally be what keeps you awake at night.
Calling is something that I very much wrestled with over the years. Am I doing what God wants me to do? Am I all God designed me to be? What should I do next in my career? So many questions in the past, but it is now something that I have absolute peace with. Did I receive some prophetic message? A 'writing on the wall' moment? No. Just a better understanding of what God wants for all of us, and especially for me.
Let's start with the calling that you and I have in common. His Word is full of clues about our calling. In Genesis, it is made clear that we are called to take care of and rule over the earth and all that is in it, this is the Creation Mandate, and it applies to all of us. Furthermore, in Matthew, we are told to go into all the earth and to make disciples. This is the Great Commission, and just like the Creation Mandate, it applies to all of us. We are also told to love the Lord your God with everything that you have and to love your neighbour as yourself.
As you consider your calling you can be sure that the purpose that God has for you will include all of the above. If you are wrestling with whether something is your calling and that something works against your purpose to fulfil any of the above you can be assured it is not what you are designed for.
Does that mean that all of us need to be Ministers? No...and yes. No, in the sense that we are certainly not all called to be employed by a church, preach every Sabbath and have a name badge with the label 'Minister' on it. However, we are all called to do the work of a minister. We are indeed called to share the hope that we have in us, we are to love the Lord and to love each other.
God will no doubt call you to a purpose. For me, it is Christian Education. The thought of working with hundreds of children and dozens of teachers certainly is not appealing to everyone, but for me, this is my sweet spot, this is where I find fulfilment. Now, I find myself in a particular Christian school; this is important for someone who finds his purpose in Christian Education. However, I never received a 'writing on the wall' or a 'Road to Dimastas' experience to move here. So what happened that I find myself uprooting my family and shifting to a new school?
It was all about the freedom that I found in my calling.
This is an important aspect to calling. While God will call you to a purpose, rarely does he determine the place, not never, just rarely. Within this purpose we have freedom. In my situation, I was pretty much living the dream in Christian Education. I was at an amazing school, people came from all over the country and even from abroad to see what we were doing at school. I was invited to present our story and philosophy at both Christian and secular education forums and conferences and importantly, my family was very much settled. I was comfortable.
I was then asked to take up a new position in a school that would require me taking a difficult step away from my comfort and to begin the process of leading change once again. At first, it all seemed too difficult and too much like hard work...I had after all put in all the blood, sweat and tears (with the help of many amazing people around me of course) and I was reaping the reward of that work. Leading change is ugly, people get stretched, people often get hurt, and it is hard work, why would I willingly do that again? Especially if I was fulfilling God's calling on my life already, I was fulfilling God's calling on my life by being in Christian Education after all.
The reality is that your calling in not just about purpose, it is also about growth. As my last boss used to say, 'what can I do today to be of more use to Him tomorrow?
If you find yourself at a crossroad and you are looking for answers about your calling, a 'writing on the wall', of course, seek the Lord in prayer and talk to those around you whom you respect. However, also keep in mind that we are designed to grow. Seek out the purpose that gives you fulfilment and pursue opportunities to grow, to be of greater use to Him tomorrow.
Keep your eyes on the purpose God has designed you for and hold loosely to the 'place' (location) and even your 'plan' for that purpose. As stated in Proverbs 16:9, plan your course but allow God to direct your steps. The more that you understand your purpose the more agile you can be with the 'plan' and 'place' side of fulfilling your purpose.
A central theme of calling is freedom. Yes, God has designed you for a purpose but He gives you freedom within that calling. You can take it easy, or you can seek the track which leads to growth. I chose the growth path. There were many details within this path that I hadn't sorted out. However, as He does when we 'let go and let God', He took care of every last detail.
A central theme of calling is freedom, the choice to choose either comfort or growth. Choose well.

I have a couple of Berkley Cherrywoods in 5'6'' ultra light that I bought at Walmart.
What rods do you use for catching bluegills,crappie,and other panfish? I just use a cheap 5'6 rod from Wal-Mart and i've caught loads of bluegills and sunfish.
Panfishing is fun!
I have a couple of Berkley Cherrywoods in 5'6'' ultra light that I bought at Walmart.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.
PICO Lures Field Rep
a $20 one from walmart sorry i dont remember the brand
I guess I have been trying to spread my business around to different makers. I use a couple of rods from Bass Pro Shops. One is a MegaCast and the other a MicroLite. Late last year I got a Rapala Xtreme Ultra Light. I haven't used it yet but it feels nice. From Fenwick I have an HMX and an old Eagle that I have used more than any other bream pole over the last twenty-five years. I also have a Berkley Spirit, a Quantum Traditions, a St. Croix Avid, and a Loomis Premier. The last two have the lightest actions. The St. Croix is rated for 2-4 pound line and the Loomis is rated for 1-4 pound line. My wife has one Bass Pro Shops and one Quantum.
I like the cherrywood UL's from Walmart.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
I also use a cherrywood 5'6",or a 5' ultralight Ugley Stik.That's my dock shooter rod.
"Garden Hackler"lol
I use a BnM float n fly i got for $20. Seem to catch more catfish and green carp than Gills and Slabs
Oh I could wrestle a monster fish
Ugly stick 5'6" UL single piece is my favorite.
that I got from an old gentleman about 2 years ago...7'0, 2 piece ultralight (Made in China) with extra sensitive 8 inch orange tip section. You can feel them breathe on the lure. I've been told it's a brand sold limitly by Gander Mountain for $29.99 but I haven't been able to find them. I've caught hundreds of bream and sac/crappie with it. If anyone ever heard of them or know where to purchase them let me know. Wonderful inexpensive ultralight rods.

God's America Our Bones Will Bleach in the Sun
Published Jan 22, 2013"God's America" is meant to be said with tongue planted firmly in cheek, at least in the case of this powerviolence group from Los Angeles, CA. Formerly named the Seeds of Rape, complete with a track titled "Shit Cherishers (Humans As Flies)," you get the impression the band don't have much faith in humanity, let alone anything greater. Their music doesn't encourage prayer either. Our Bones Will Bleach in the Sun offers a grinding, grating romp through the powerviolence territory currently occupied by Hatred Surge, Iron Lung and labelmates such as Eddie Brock and Weekend Nachos. Their raw aesthetic is paired with equally raw production, making the scathing riffs even more threatening. However, the vocals are distracting, at times, sounding more like a bellowed bark than a growl. This is more easily overlooked in the shorter and/or faster songs, where you don't have time to notice. Much like real-life America, God's America are best enjoyed with a bit of ignorance. (A389)

Following the dwindling revenue allocation from the federation account to Osun State Government, the State House of Assembly yesterday held a public hearing on the Land Use Charge bill with an assurance to maintain a level playing field for professionals involved in the bill that would soon be passed to law.
The Speaker of the house, Hon. Najeem Salaam, apparently speaking on memoranda submitted by concerned professionals in the bill sued for understanding saying that the essence of the public hearing was to enable professional bodies and the people of the state make their contributions in the legislation process.
Professional bodies like Nigeria Institution of Surveyors and Valuers, Nigeria Institute of Town Planners and Architects while presenting their memoranda in response to the bill expressed diverse views and concerns on the bill.
Speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Land, Physical Planning and Urban Development in the state, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Wale Ojo said cemetery, burial grounds, churches, palaces, retirees, pensioners, old people and other non-governmental organisations that are non-profit oriented should be exempted from paying any charge.
But the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors and Valuers said religious bodies that own schools and other institutions that are profit oriented should be taxed.
Speaking on behalf of the body, Prof. Bioye Tajudeen advised the House of Assembly to re-visit the bill with the aim of involving the services of professionals that would bring a turn around to the state's economy.
The public hearing held at the premises of the Osun state house of Assembly in Osogbo also had in attendance traditional rulers, market men and women, artisans, landlords, lawyers among others.
Governor Rauf Aregbesola in his speech appealed to taxable people of the state to pay their taxes in order for the government to continue numerous projects it has embarked upon in the state.

GREE's second North American title sees players nurturing an Alien Family
Alien Family is the second North American release from GREE, following the recently-released Zombie Jombie. While the company claims that Zombie Jombie was aimed more at "hardcore" gamers, Alien Family has been designed as a more family-friendly title with cartoony graphics and a light-hearted sense of humor throughout.
At its heart, Alien Family is a fairly conventional farming game with elements of the pet care genre. It is the player's job to attract and house a wide variety of aliens while attempting to make as much profit as possible through farming and buildings. Presented from an isometric perspective, the basic gameplay will be immediately familiar to any fans of this style of game, but it's in the new additions that Alien Family starts to get a little more interesting.
Each of the aliens that comes to live in the player's commune is a unique entity with their own statistics, experience level and changeable name rather than simply being treated as a resource to be tapped. This helps players feel a sense of ownership over their community and a desire to ensure that their aliens are happy. But it's not just for show — aliens' statistics come into play when sending a team on "exploration" missions to nearby planets. This mostly automatic process sees a player-selected team of aliens flying through space and attempting to fend off asteroid attacks on their shuttle. The higher their statistics, the longer they will survive. So long as at least one alien makes it to the destination, the player will normally be rewarded with a new alien along with a generous experience and currency reward, so long as there is room in the commune for additional population. Any aliens who were knocked off the shuttle on the journey are not killed — all aliens simply return to the commune when the journey is over, whether or not it was successful.
The other time aliens' statistics become important is when attempting to manage the population of the commune. If the player has reached their population limit but still wishes to acquire new aliens, they are able to "fuse" two aliens together. During this process, one alien is used as the "base" and another as a "material." The base alien absorbs some of the abilities and experience from the material alien, who is consumed in the process. This procedure takes place in a sinister-looking closed chamber which both aliens seem to wander into quite happily. Exactly what goes on inside isn't made explicit, but it's probably best not to think about it too much!
Social features come into play as another means of acquiring new aliens. Visiting a neighbor allows players to send "stars" and hopefully receive some in return. Collecting ten stars allows the player to summon a UFO, which drops off a new alien to add to their population. There's no guarantee that this alien won't be the same as ones which already live in the commune, but if this happens, players may simply fuse it with another to make room for a fresh new addition to the family. Players may also summon a UFO for free once every 24 hours, and there is a "Premium" UFO option available for hard currency which makes it significantly more likely for rare aliens to be dropped off.
Monetization for the game is handled entirely through in-app sales of premium currency. As usual for this type of game, it may be used for a variety of purposes — purchasing particularly effective income structures, hurrying production or crop growth and calling the aforementioned premium UFO service. Premium services and currency sales are kept unobtrusive, however, allowing those who wish to play for free to have a satisfying experience free of nag screens, while those willing to pay will make faster progress.
You'll be able to follow Alien Family's progress through the App Store charts with AppData, our tracking service for social and iOS games and developers.

They go above and beyond
After having an accident we were at a loss of what to do and where to go, Dartmouth Dodge and their staff understood our problem and were very helpful and professional. The service they provided was unbelievable as they took the time to explain everything that was needed and show us what damage was done as to make us understand what parts were needed and why. The accident was on a Tuesday and the following week I had my vehicle in hand and it looked great. I thank you for taking the time with us and the care you put into our car.
