I know you probably won't read this. And if you do, you probably won't think much of it anyways. But I figured this is the best place to have a chance of contacting you and so it was worth a shot.
Let me start by saying Weezer is one of my favorite groups of all time. I just recently saw you play Pinkerton at the Boston show. I was towards the back, but the show was just amazing and everything I had hoped it to be. I got a T-shirt and left satisfied, it was one of the best shows I've ever seen - and I had just recently seen Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse and the Pixies, all great shows. But something about Pinkerton really resonated with me and it was one of my dreams to see it live, and I'm so glad I got that opportunity.
The Blue album and Pinkerton stand, to me, as two of the greatest rock albums ever written. It doesn't matter if everything after Pinkerton was a thousand times worse than it has been, nothing can or will change the fact that those two albums contained some of the most soul-shatteringly sincere, well written and important songs I've ever heard. I'm a musician myself, just 18 years old, but I'm trying. I know I'm not exactly the best person to give you advice, but music is so important to me, such a passion for me, that I think maybe I could be some help.
As you've probably guessed, Weezer hasn't really enthralled me since Pinkerton. It's not because I refuse to accept change, it's not because I'm some shrugging hipster who insists bands were best when they started. I just feel like the music has lost touches of what made it so magical to me, and I'd like to tell you how I think that magic could be brought back a little bit. I'm sure you've heard a great deal of complainers saying that Weezer's music isn't as personal, sincere or emotional anymore. Well, I'd have to agree with them. Something I always admired so much about Weezer was the ability Rivers (you) seem to have that takes your most intimate, personal, embarrassing and devastating emotions and empowers them by rock music. Suddenly something so feeble and sad has become something that fills an arena with the screaming voices of people who can relate to your music - people who cling to every word. I'm one of those people. Pinkerton helped me through some of the hardest times of my life, not just for the excellent tunes on the album but because I could really relate to it. This was music FROM someone like me, not ABOUT someone like me. This was sincere, it wasn't glossed up or toned down, it wasn't changed to appeal to more people. It was just expression. The music on Pinkerton doesn't worry so much about the people listening to it. It's just music.
I recently heard an interview with you on YouTube talking about Hurley and Pinkerton. The interviewer asked you something to the extent of if bad reviews bother you. You said that you disregard the interviews bashing you just to be cool (as you should), but do listen to those who seem to genuinely care about the music and the band and try to improve it. You then said something a little worrying; you said the band was "running a business here" and if advice could be taken to sell more records, you would be open to hearing it. This instantly rubbed me a little wrong. I remember seeing an interview from 1996 where you said that you didn't really view your music as a "career", but just as expression. You said the reception to the music was luckily good, but your success didn't really matter. You would be doing it either way. You were just lucky that people liked it.
I'm not trying to say you've sold out, but something seems to have happened that has distanced you from the music. Your music has become more commercially acceptable, more simple pop melodies and basic choruses to get stuck in the heads of partying teenagers everywhere. There's nothing wrong with this. But the Blue Album is unique in that it maintained an excellent balance of musical artistry, emotional sincerity, and pop sensibility. It seems like the former traits have been shed with Weezer's old fur, and that's really a shame. See, Rivers, you're an excellent musician. You're an excellent songwriter. You've written countless songs that really matter. Songs like Say It Ain't So, Undone, The Good Life, Falling For You, Only In Dreams, and many others. It just feels like in your new music, you've been stuck rehearsing the formulas of pop music and sticking to the rules so strictly that you've forgotten to break them every once in a while for the sake of musical artistry and expression. The bridge on The Good Life is to this day one of the most beautiful and influential things I've ever heard. The intricacies of the intertwining melodies found on Pinkerton and the Blue Album are not something that could have just been produced by popular demand. These songs were slaved over, and it shows.
Weezer's releasing music at a pretty frequent rate these days. And while I'm always happy to hear new tunes from Rivers and the crew, I'd rather that he works harder on one great album than releases five good albums, no matter how long it takes. The compositions on Pinkerton are so gentle and yet deliberate - you can hear the effort and sincerity dripping off of the music. Honestly, I'm not sure if I've ever heard anything more heartfelt in my life. It sounds like I know you just from listening to your music. Hell, it sounds like my music. I identify with it so much, that it was almost hard to believe when I saw hundreds of other fans who felt the same way at the Pinkerton show in Boston. I saw people practically crying, their eyes shut, fists pumping to the music, screaming out every word. It was an amazing experience for me.
I remember after listening to Blue and Pinkerton (but before listening to any other Weezer) how excited I was to hear the fragile, emotional and yet musically powerful Rivers Cuomo's tunes about getting old. About his balding. About his regrets, his doubts, his fears. His qualms with his ever-impending mortality. The fearful and insecure regrets of all the possible lives he could of lived, options now far gone. Your life may be happier now, but surely it can't be without pain, without regret, without suffering. I was excited to hear that through the music, to be able to connect with you and the music on that level. But instead, it sounds like you're singing about other characters. Hurley was a little closer, but even on one of the highlights of the album, Unspoken, it almost sounds like you're singing about other people in emotional situations. I'm not hearing you here. I'm not hearing your musical expression. I want to hear you, Rivers Cuomo. The one and only. I want to hear what makes you you, not what you can make that other people can identify with. We don't need to be able to understand your lines. We don't need to know who the half japanese girl is to know how you felt. We just know. We can hear it.
As for the band's sound, actual SOUND - that's something else I'd like to talk about a little here. To me, it sounds like the crunch, the edge of Weezer, has been lost. Songs like Ruling Me abandon the raw distorted crunchy guitars of Pinkerton and the shattering crashes of the cymbols for generic polished digitally recorded rock. Your singing on Hurley was absolutely amazing and heartfelt, but the rest of the album sounded just way too processed. I honestly think recording in analog rather than digital could help get that raw Weezer sound back. The music has simply lost its edge. Again, listen to the bridge in The Good Life. Loud, stomping crashing distortion and melody slowly reveals itself to be a tender, echo-filled composition as the song slows into its melodic climax and back again into its massive chorus. Amazing. In digital recording, a lot of this personality, this life, is lost. It just sounds too good. The emotion is stripped.
For example, the acoustic versions of Can't Stop Partying and I Don't Want Your Loving are both heartfelt, amazing songs that are dripping with emotion. But when they were revisited for the studio, their hooks had been washed over with a dull wave of pop polish. Gone was the soul, replaced by boring oo's and aa's and autotuned hooks. What happened? The B-sides for Pinkerton are another great example. Tracks like You Won't Get With Me Tonight and Longtime Sunshine are just such good songs. They're not chart toppers, they're not awesome hooks, they're not perfectly polished bubblegum pop. They're amazing, amazing songs. They're songs that can really mean something to someone. They're songs that can be played by a campfire with open chords and just sound every bit as good. I'm not saying Weezer hasn't made anything good since Pinkerton, but something is missing. The sincerity, the loud crunch, the emotion, the hard work put into the songs, the intricate compositions and musical experiments like the bridges found on Blue and Pinkerton - they're gone, and not gone as a result of musical evolution, but gone to be replaced with nothing. With hollow rock. With polished, boring guitars. The music just doesn't sing like it used to. The guitars don't screech with soul and then gently bring each other to musical climax through intricate melodies like they used to. It doesn't sound like the inside of your heart anymore.
I really don't want to be tearing you or the band apart here. The only reason I'm writing this absurdly long post is because I really do care about Weezer and its music so much. I really do love it. It means so much to me, it has done so much for me. And I really believe Rivers has another fantastic album in him. Seeing that Pinkerton show live was absolutely amazing. Even the Greatest Hits set was perfect, the energy was completely there. Why can't we hear it in the albums? Why can't we hear that energy, that passion, that love, in the songs? Not complaining, not b*******, just trying to get your gears turning a little bit. There's a reason why people hold Blue and Pinkerton so close to their hearts, and it's not because they're catchy. Blue and Pinkerton were such cohesive, perfect albums as a whole. The new Weezer albums feel more like a collection of lesser songs. Why is that? They don't feel like cohesive pieces of art. An album should be something that makes its mark. Music is hard. Expectations are hard. It's all very hard. I understand, I'm trying to do it myself. But we, our fans, believe in you. We know you can do it. And even if you don't, we'll be happy anyways. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. We know you can do it.

Maybe he's happy instead of dark and moody and is in fact channeling his happines into his music becasue hes happy and it just so happens that lots of partying teenagers around the country like happy music so we buy it and that makes rivers happy instead of dark and depressed so he writes more happy tunes...becasue he's no longer the depressed person he was in 1995 (who wasnt depressed?) and therefor cant put depressed emotional stuff into his music becasue somewhere down the line of marrying an amazing woman, having kids, seeing his band grow to popularity...he stop being depressed. So maybe theres just as much emotion there as there was back in 1990's, its just happy stuff...but of course thats just my opinion.
I'm gonna say that it's not a matter of Rivers no longer writing personal, sincere, and emotional lyrics and songs - he's simply writing about things that have might not be personal to you yourself at this age, where as Pinkerton/blue were back when you got into them.
Songs like "Unspoken", "The Other Way", "If You're Wondering If I Want You To", a majority of the red album, etc. etc. etc. (I could go on and on) are just as personal and sincere as anything coming from the first two albums. They were written about very specific events or thoughts or ideas in the guy's life and, in some cases, goes so deep that you have to wonder how he had the balls to release such a song to the public. What more do you want?
I think it's absolutely important to be critical but you also have to know when and where to stop. Back in '05 I surely tore into "Beverly Hills" or "My Best Friend" when posting on an older Weezer board. I likely said they was too mainstream, too polished, I couldn't relate to the lyrics, etc. etc. etc.
One day, though, I realized that I was still listening to these songs just as much as the rest of the album and, despite the front I put up about hating them, I knew every word. Knew the songs front to back. That was kind of a waking up experience, to me.
I remained pretty critical up until a while back, realizing again that despite the front I put up about hating Raditude, I still enjoyed the hell out of it. It sounded nothing like what they've done before, it flirted heavily with mainstream pop throughout the majority of the disc, but did it matter much to my enjoyment of the album? Not at all. That was kind of "it" for me - from there, I welcomed "Represent", Hurley, Death to False Metal etc. with open arms and found that there's still so much to love about this band.
The same is true for any Weezer record, really. I've learned to just enjoy what I enjoy and not pick it apart and to appreciate things for what they are rather than just resenting them for what they're not. The same can be said for many things in life, and I think the more I let that go, the happier I am as a person. Not to hand out life advice here, but I'm just sayin' - it applies to Weezer as much as it applies to anything.
Again, I do think it's absolutely important to be critical, both as a fan and as a writer. Yes, there are things about the last few records that, despite being really good, could have been a bit better. Yet, personally in my own past, I think it created this blind spot of sorts and I took it too far. I don't think I'd be alone there if people only chilled out a little and just realized that, despite their claims that the band jumped the shark a decade ago and they're done with them, they're still posting on a Weezer fan board for some reason. I don't think anyone out there is realistically holding out for Pinkerton II, so there has to be some kind of reason why you're still around.
Just re-read and saw the comment about digital versus analog recording, a very, very tired argument, in my eyes. Not attacking you, just saying - there are plenty of albums out there recorded digitally that sound damn good and still have a very "warm" sound (as they say) or even have a more "raw" sound. There are so many misconceptions out there about digital recording, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Either way, if you're not into Weezer these days, I don't think them recording in an older format will somehow make them suddenly appeal to you.
"I remember after listening to Blue and Pinkerton (but before listening to any other Weezer) how excited I was to hear the fragile, emotional and yet musically powerful Rivers Cuomo's tunes about getting old. About his balding. About his regrets, his doubts, his fears. His qualms with his ever-impending mortality. The fearful and insecure regrets of all the possible lives he could of lived, options now far gone. Your life may be happier now, but surely it can't be without pain, without regret, without suffering. I was excited to hear that through the music, to be able to connect with you and the music on that level."
You've summed up the red album to a T, here, as well as several other tracks. Again, I think Mr.Cuomo is being very sincere, passionate, personal, etc. etc. etc. but maybe it's just being passionate or sincere about something you can't relate to. Think ab00t it.
I'm sorry, but I disagree. I don't think it's nearly as personal anymore. I have listened to the songs. Even Unspoken, one of the examples you claimed... it's just generic. It seems like he wants to write something personal but distances himself from it. "I'll never forgive you can't you see, our life will be broken, our hate will be unspoken" Maybe it was written from personal experience, but it sounds generic - that's something you don't understand about what I'm saying about the sincerity of these records. They're about real emotions, sure. ABOUT real emotions. Weezer's music used to BE emotion. "How stupid is it, that I can't talk about it, I've gotta sing about it, and write a record of my heart" - this pretty much sums up what I'm talking about.
It's not just lyrically though. Pork and Beans is in my opinion one of the better recent Weezer tunes, it doesn't seem generic, it's sincere, pissed off and isn't afraid to point out specific examples of what he's talking about (rogaine, timbaland). Even musically, that was a great song. But people who keep making this argument really don't seem to understand it. Listen to Only In Dreams. Please just listen to it. Listen to the parts with no lyrics, that's right - no lyrics at all. What sounds more emotional, more sincere, more personal, more powerful? That, or something like The Girl Got Hot, Where's My Sex, or even If You're Wondering.
And again, I don't think being happy has anything to do with it. If you read the post, I said something along the lines of there is always pain, suffering and struggle in life and Rivers used to channel that through his music - it just doesn't sound like he does anymore. He sounds removed. It almost seems like he ventured into an extremely personal and intimate place with Pinkerton, was burned and trashed and embarrassed for it, and ever since has been emotionally detached from his music to a certain extent - at least moreso than he used to be.
I am curious if Rivers has even looked at this topic, much less read it. I wouldn't expect him to reply to such direct criticisms anyway, he doesn't need to. But I hope he's seen it at least.
I think its still plenty personal. Can no one but me seriously listen to red album and not hear rivers goin through his mid-life crisis in that album? And who gives a crap if it sounds like its not a personal song from rivers point of view, theres still plent of songs that are personal to me and thats the point of music, is to find your own purpouse in the song, and darn it weezers music is still very personal and powerul to me so dont go and say that their music has lost that personal touch. Trainwrecks, hang on, The angel and the one, perfect situation, keep fishin, all of the green album
I'm sorry, but I disagree. I don't think it's nearly as personal anymore. I have listened to the songs. Even Unspoken, one of the examples you claimed... it's just generic. It seems like he wants to write something personal but distances himself from it. "I'll never forgive you can't you see, our life will be broken, our hate will be unspoken" Maybe it was written from personal experience, but it sounds generic - that's something you don't understand about what I'm saying about the sincerity of these records.

Have a look at the upcoming 2014 BMW X5 (F15) compared visually to the current X5 (E70), while the two cars were spotted in testing for the new X5.
2012 video highlights featuring the 2014 F80 M3, from the amazing Nurburgring Nordschleife touristenfahrten, testing and track days.
F80 M3 news @ http://www.bimmerpost.com/m3/f80m3/
We have spied the F82 M4 coupe again and here is the most revealing look yet. With the great look that we have here, here's a list of notable elements that we see.
• Double slatted kidney grilles
• M4 badge on kidney grilles (a la M6) (currently covered)
• LED headlights
• LED tail lights
• Carbon ceramic brakes (optional) being tested in signature gold color (just as on F80 M3 prototype)
• Hood power dome/bulge
• Sculpted double-bubble carbon fiber roof (like M6 Coupe)
• Production side mirrors (still under camouflage)
• Integrated trunk spoiler
• Wide fenders
• Slanted exhaust tips
• Production sideskirts
• Wearing Continental ContiSportContact tires – 275/35 rear (like F80 M3)
• Gap in front fender for air breather vent? Location is too high to be the same 'boomerang' vent seen … CONTINUED
Testing and development of the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (F36) continues, with the prototypes undergoing cold weather testing in Sweden.
As always, don't worry about the headlights and tail lights of the prototypes at this stage of testing. They are merely fakes for testing purposes. Expect the 4GC to share the lights with the rest of the upcoming 4 Series lineup.
Codenamed as the F36, the 4 Series Gran Coupe will be positioned and priced in the 3/4 Series lineup just as the 6 Series Gran Coupe is positioned in the 5/6 Series lineup (in between the coupe and convertible models). [See our recent article previewing the future 4 Series / M4 lineup].
Like the 6 Series Gran Coupe, the 4 Series Gran Coupe combines the convenience … CONTINUED
We bring you the latest sighting of the 2014 BMW 4 Series (F32) Coupe. What we're seeing here is a 435i Coupe showing clearly for the first time LED headlights and large parts of its interior front cabin.
The optional LED headlights feature squared off coronal rings (angel eyes) much like the optional LED headlights seen in other recent BMW models. Sadly however, the optional LED headlights will not feature the special design seen on the BMW 4 Series Concept's LED headlights which featured hexagonal lights with the corona rings leading out from the inner headlight tube to form a visual link with the inner headlight and the kidney grille.
As we've already seen in past spy photos, the 4 Series interior remains close to the … CONTINUED
The first uncovered F10 5 Series LCI facelift/update was spotted last week, but it was captured in some less than ideal quality photos. Our new spy photos, taken at an official BMW photoshoot, give us a clear look at the F10 LCI's front fascia. What's confirmed once again is that the styling updates are rather minor.
Overall, the F10 LCI styling changes give the 5 Series a more updated and sportier look. The 2014 5 Series receives sleeker looking headlights and optional LED headlights with squared-off angel eyes / corona rings (as equipped on this model). The front bumper has also receives updates via the new creases extending from the inside corners at the top of both headlights, a restyled lower front bumper with … CONTINUED
F22 2 Series coupe (228i) prototype spotted in SoCal. First prototype sighting in the US.
The M235i coupe (315 HP) is already confirmed for the US (see VIN details and spy photos). Production will begin in November 2013 in the Leipzig plant, for an 8 month first-model-year production run (until June 2014). There will be no 235i model in the US or elsewhere, as the M235i will take its place in the lineup.
The M235i will be joined by the 228i coupe in the US. The 228i coupe will also begin production this November. The production 2 Series will be revealed in the Fall, with its public debut potentially coming at the 2013 Frankfurt auto show in September).
As the VIN thread linked above shows, Europe will see … CONTINUED
As its more hulking brother, the BMW M4 Coupe (F82) drops some camouflage, so too has the 4 Series Coupe (F32).
This group of 4 Series Coupe prototypes are the most revealing we have seen yet, with heavy camouflage now removed from the headlights, C-pillar, and front fender areas. What's revealed is no surprise, but does give us a better preview at the final product.
We can now see the headlights connected to the kidney grilles, the hoffmeister kink in the rear windows, and the opening for the boomerang front fender vents. We also get the first look at the interior of the production 4 Series Coupe.
We will see the production F32 4 Series Coupe revealed sometime this Summer (with an auto show debut in the Fall). … CONTINUED
It's been a while since the last spotting of the F82 M4 Coupe, but it's been worth the wait this sighting as the prototype has now lost some camouflage, revealing much more!
So, what revealing things do we see in this new sighting?
• Double slatted kidney grilles.
• LED headlights
• LED tail lights
• Sculpted double-bubble carbon fiber roof (a la M6 Coupe)
• Production side mirrors (but still under camouflage)
• Integrated trunk spoiler
• Deliciously wide rear stance
What about the F82 M4 mechanicals? If you recall, we recently reported on information gleamed from the M4 prototype's registered VIN information (posted below).
The highlight is the 310kW (415 hp) S55 3.0L inline 6 engine listed [photos]. Consistent with the information we've been posting, this would have the next M3 and M4 … CONTINUED

Guides to New Testament Exegesis Collection (7 vols.)
by 6 authors McKnight, Scot, Liefeld, Walter L., Trotter, Andrew H., Burge, Gary M., Schreiner, Thomas R., Michaels, J. Ramsey
Logos Bible Software, Baker 1988–2004
The Guides to New Testament Exegesis Collection (7 vols.) provides the methods and principles you need to study the genres of the New Testament. These exegetical guides introduce readers to both the specific nature of a particular genre and to basic principles for exegeting that literary type.
Four literary types comprise the New Testament: the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Letters, and the Apocalypse. Each genre is distinct, and each requires different methodological sensitivities. Consequently, applying the same method to different genres will often lead to serious misunderstandings. The Guides to New Testament Exegesis Collection (7 vols.) will show you how to discerningly examine the New Testament without fear of misinterpretation.
Moreover, each in-depth volume contains a myriad of views from scholars on particular issues specific to literary types found in the New Testament. The diversity of thought presented allows for a broader perspective on each topic discussed. Each volume concludes with a bibliography of twenty essential works for further study.
Included in the collection is Scot McKnight's invaluable Introducing New Testament Interpretation. Featuring a basic foundation for exegesis which can be adapted to various genres, it takes care of the inevitable overlap of procedures one encounters while undertaking any New Testament book study. The individual exegetical guides then introduce the student to more specific background procedures for that particular genre.
The vision for this collection comes from Gordon Fee's New Testament Exegesis: A Handbook for Students and Pastors. By developing handbooks for each genre and book collection, this collection operates as an extended treatment of Fee's narrower scope.
Written for the novice exegete with minimal background in Greek, the Guide to New Testament Exegesis Collection (7 vols.) offers all those wishing for a deeper understanding of God's Word a sturdy foothold in New Testament exegesis.
Want more tools to help you study the New Testament? Check out the upgrade to the collection, Interpreting the Gospel of John: A Practical Guide, 2nd Edition!
Individual Titles
Introducing New Testament Interpretation
- Editor: Scot McKnight
- Publisher: Baker
- Publication Date: 1989
- Pages: 200
Introducing New Testament Interpretation familiarizes readers with the various hermeneutical methods used in understanding the New Testament. Whether one studies the Gospels, the Epistles, or even the Book of Revelation, several common exegetical steps are necessary. These include word studies, grammatical analysis, New Testament background, theological synthesis, use of the Old Testament in the New, textual criticism, and the social setting of the New Testament. This initial volume is an essential guide for any exegetical analysis of the New Testament.
Interpreting the Synoptic Gospels
- Author: Scot McKnight
- Publisher: Baker
- Publication Date: 1988
- Pages: 144
Reflecting the standard methods of the scholarly guild, Interpreting the Synoptic Gospels helps students formulate principles and techniques for studying the synoptic Gospels. The author critiques various interpretive methods and suggests how students with some knowledge of Greek can benefit from different analyses.
A valuable tool for the exegesis of the Gospels. The book is a treasure of information intended expressly for the exegete. There is a full, yet critical, introduction to the various methodologies, with an eye toward their usefulness in understanding the biblical text, along with excellent bibliographies. Books such as this should make us more responsible stewards of the Word of God.
—Gordon D. Fee, Regent College
A welcome resource for students seeking to acquaint themselves with synoptic studies.
—Robert H. Stein, Bethel Theological Seminary
It is meaty, yet concise; solidly evangelical, yet fully abreast of modern scholarship and impressive in the scope of material surveyed.
—Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary
Interpreting the Pauline Epistles
- Author: Thomas R. Schreiner
- Publisher: Baker
- Publication Date: 1990
- Pages: 268
Since 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament are attributed to Paul, a separate book on how to do a Pauline exegesis was warranted. In Interpreting the Pauline Epistles, the author tackles such thorny hermeneutical questions as how to move from exegesis to construction of a Pauline theology, and how to translate Paul's words in the 20th-century. The nature of first-century letters, background sources, and a word-study method all help show students with some knowledge of Greek how to trace Paul's reasoning through difficult texts.
A practical, down-to-earth, and no-nonsense guide to the exegesis and interpretation of the Pauline letters that will be of immense help to pastors, teachers, and students. This is a book filled with wisdom, balanced in its perspective and mature in its judgments. But most important, it is a book written out of love for, and commitment to, the Pauline gospel. I recommend it enthusiastically.
—Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary
Continues the high standard of quality established by its predecessors in the Guides to New Testament Exegesis series. It combines general hermeneutical considerations with those unique to didactic literature and introduces crucial issues regarding the meaning and significance of Paul's writings in particular. Most helpful are the author's numerous illustrations, up-to-date and well-chosen annotated bibliographies, and even-handed consideration of interpretive options.
—Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary
Interpreting the Gospel of John
- Author: Gary M. Burge
- Publisher: Baker
- Publication Date: 1992
- Pages: 192
The Gospel of John has become so familiar and seems so simple that it is easy to overlook its special challenges, says the author of this helpful guide.
Interpreting the Gospel of John presents an easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan for exegeting the Fourth Gospel. It leads beginners through the maze of academic discussion concerning origins, authorship, and interpretation. Textual, cultural, and literary considerations are explained, and leading commentaries on the Gospel of John are rated according to scholarship and reliability. The final section of the volume focuses on preaching and teaching from John.
This work is well written and is highly recommended for students and pastors interested in pursuing studies in the Gospel of John. Even for advanced students it provides a helpful summary and introduction to current scholarly approaches to the Fourth Gospel.
—W. Hall Harris III, Bibliotheca Sacra
It is well written, easy to read, sound and practical. It should be of considerable help to those who are just starting out on a study of John's gospel and who want to know how to make its message live for today.
—Peter Ensor, Evangelical Quarterly
The volumes that have appeared thus far [in the Guides to New Testament Exegesis series] are all written by capable . . . scholars who are well aware of recent scholarship in their respective fields. At the same time, these authors show considerable skill in selecting the best resources available and in presenting their material in a clear, logical, and appealing fashion. Every Bible student who is serious about a systematic exploration of the various books of the NT will find these Guides an invaluable help in their own study of Scripture. A case in point is Burge's Interpreting the Gospel of John.
—Andreas Köstenberger, Trinity Journal
Interpreting the Book of Acts
- Author: Walter L. Liefeld
- Publisher: Baker
- Publication Date: 1995
- Pages: 144
The diversity of material in the Book of Acts demands a variety of exegetical tools and strategies. Since speeches constitute over 30% of the text, the interpreter must be adept at handling discourse and well as narrative.
Interpreting the Book of Acts present the fruit of the author's thirty-year reflection on the Lukan corpus. With a sure hand he guides the reader through numerous approaches to the text. Literary purpose and structure, narrative theology, discourse analysis, cultural backgrounds – all are exploited for insight. Yet throughout, the author keeps in view the practical needs of the student and pastor, breathing a spiritual warmth into the applications he makes.
Interpreting the Epistle to the Hebrews
- Editor: Andrew H. Trotter, Jr.
- Publisher: Baker
- Publication Date: 1997
- Pages: 222
Presenting a wealth of introductory material, Interpreting the Epistle to the Hebrews serves as an essential prolegomenon for further study of this epistle and enables readers to make informed judgments when using commentaries.
Identifying Hebrews as a sermon with an epistolary twist, Trotter strikes a fine balance between his own cogently argued views and a judicious distillation of the best of current scholarship on the text… [His] success in helping his readers develop observational skills and an ability to think logically about the text makes this work an ideal textbook for classroom use in courses on Hebrews or New Testament exegesis.
—William L. Lane, Seattle Pacific University
Seldom does one encounter a reader-friendly book like this one, written with verve but also relecting scholarship of the highest caliber. Trotter has produced a superb aid to the understanding of Hebrews, covering everything necessary from discussion of its historical context to such things as structure, rhetoric, and theology… I am happy to recommend Trotter's fine work enthusiastically.

What the Book of Revelation requires is not that we know in advance what is coming, but that we know how to meet it when it comes. This volume helps students do just that.
Interpreting the Book of Revelation provides a concise introduction to the careful interpretive study of Revelation. Its meticulous, scholarly approach to studying linguistic structure, vocabulary, and variant readings provides a sound exegetical model.
Throughout, the author stands behind the unity of this challenging New Testament book as prophecy influenced by current events--predictive, yet calling readers to faith now.
If one wants to make a study of the Book of Revelation, this should be one of the first [books] to be read.

SABMiller to begin construction of brewery in Namibia in April this year
6 March 2013
SABMiller announces a US$40 million investment in a new 260,000 hectolitre brewery in Namibia as part of its strategy to expand its operations across Africa. The company expects to break ground on the new site in early April this year and the brewery is expected to be operational in the latter half of 2014.
After some delay, the company recently received approval for the re-zoning of 7.2 hectares of land in Okahanjda where the brewery will be built and transfer of the land is expected in the next few weeks. The brewery will be designed to accommodate future growth and capacity expansion. In addition, the company plans to invest in a returnable bottle packaging line and warehousing facilities.
SAB Managing Director, Mauricio Leyva, said the project had reached an important milestone: "We are most pleased that we are now going to be moving ahead with the construction of the brewery.
"The local brewery will not only enable us to make more of our key brands available to consumers in the Namibian market, but it will also make a meaningful contribution to the Namibian economy once it is up and running.
"Jobs will be created, our environmental impact on the country will be reduced as we shift to returnable bottles and we will build on our existing programmes to uplift the local community."
SABMiller has a long history in Namibia, having imported beers from South Africa to service the local market for more than two decades. The company has an estimated 22% of the local market, with popular brands including Castle Lager, Carling Black Label and Castle Lite. These will be brewed on the new site in Okahanjda.
In 2010, SABMiller announced the establishment of SABMiller Nambia (Pty) Ltd to house its operations in Namibia. The entity reports as part of South Africa Breweries Limited (SAB Ltd), SABMiller's wholly-owned South African business.
SABMiller Namibia is 60% owned by SAB Ltd and 40% by local Namibian partners comprising 20% Onyewu Investments (Pty) Ltd and 20% by three charitable trusts for the benefit of local communities.
SABMiller plc is one of the world's leading brewers with more than 200 beer brands and some 70,000 employees in over 75 countries. The group's portfolio includes global brands such as Pilsner Urquell, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Miller Genuine Draft and Grolsch; as well as leading local brands such as Aguila (Colombia), Castle (South Africa), Miller Lite (USA), Snow (China), Victoria Bitter (Australia) and Tyskie (Poland). SABMiller also has growing soft drinks businesses and is one of the world's largest bottlers of Coca-Cola products.
In the year ended 31 March 2012 the group reported EBITA of US$5,634 million and group revenue of US$31,388 million. SABMiller plc is listed on the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges.

PlanSoft Corp.'s Meeting Management Solutions package of Web-based meeting planning tools now includes a registration module, allowing target users — Fortune 1000 companies and large associations — to send meeting invitations, accept online registrations, and create attendee registration reports. Attendees are able to pay registration fees online and to receive detailed information regarding the event.
MMS, released last October, is customized for its users and can work as an Internet-, intranet- or extranet-based tool. The MMS features include the site search and RFP capabilities of PlanSoft's flagship product, mpoint.com.
In a separate announcement, PlanSoft and Hilton Hotels Corp. have signed a deal that makes PlanSoft's powerful meeting site database and search engine part of Hilton's Web site, www.hilton.com, used internally by Hilton salespeople and staff and externally by Hilton customers. Hilton is licensing a combination of technological and marketing services from PlanSoft; in addition to the search engine, these include enhanced listings in the PlanSoft database for all Hilton properties, value dates listings, and other tools.
Another part of PlanSoft's recent shift is an emphasis on cost control, which led to layoffs at the Cleveland-based company last fall. According to Ed Tromczynski, president and chief operating officer, 37 of 183 employees were let go, many of them supporting desktop products that are now migrating to the Web and others who did data-entry for the supplier database. Much of the responsibility for keeping the database updated will now fall on the suppliers.

Army's 'top priority should be to establish the facts' after soldiers' deaths
The Army should react transparently to the tragic deaths of two soldiers on a training exercise in the Brecon Beacons at the weekend, according to a comms expert.
The deaths occurred on the hottest day of the year so far in Wales, with temperatures reaching 30C in Powys, and reports have strongly linked the weather to the events.
James Acheson-Gray, UK managing director of APCO Worldwide, said: 'The Army needs to be as transparent as possible and make clear its determination to give all possible support to the victim's families and the various investigations – the top priority has to be to establish the facts in this tragic case.
'While the inquiries are ongoing there are likely to be details that the Army can't comment on directly, but at all times it needs to ensure that its messaging emphasises the courage of TA soldiers and puts the situation in the context of explaining why the TA is so important to the defence of this country and why these trainings are vital.'
The Ministry of Defence said in a statement: 'The MoD can confirm that it is working with Dyfed-Powys Police to investigate an incident during a training exercise on the Brecon Beacons on Saturday in which two members of military personnel died.
'The two servicemen's next of kin have been informed. More information will be released in due course but it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.'

The Accreditation Council for CME is rolling out a three-year plan to strengthen its oversight.
Criticized by the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance and the CME community for its inadequate oversight system, the Accreditation Council for CME has announced a three-year plan designed to toughen its enforcement process and strengthen the boundaries between commercial supporters and providers.
Historically, the ACCME focused on setting standards and offering guidance, says Murray Kopelow, MD, ACCME chief executive. Now, the organization is expanding its function. "We didn't and never had a strong emphasis on policing and enforcement. The CME enterprise has changed what they wanted us to do — and we are responding."
Faster Crackdowns
One of the weaknesses in the ACCME system, flagged by the Senate Finance Committee in its April 2007 report on CME, is the length of time — sometimes years — that it can take for providers that are found in noncompliance to redress their problems. To close that gap, during the past year the ACCME has sped up the process whereby providers found in noncompliance must submit improvement plans and verify their progress. It has also imposed tougher sanctions — the percentage of providers put on probation has increased from 1 percent to 10 percent.
In addition, the ACCME is ramping up its scrutiny of providers it identifies as high-risk, beginning with the providers that are the most dependent on commercial support — those receiving 80 or 90 percent of their income from the pharmaceutical industry.
Another high-risk area is joint sponsorship. The ACCME is looking closely at those providers that primarily focus on jointly sponsoring activities with nonaccredited organizations, to make sure that the provider is adequately supervising the process so that the activities are conducted in compliance with ACCME guidelines.
"If an organization jointly sponsors 1,000 activities a year with only three staff people, that provider will have to outsource [part of the process] to the nonaccredited organization," Kopelow says. "We need to make sure it's all being done right under those circumstances."
Real-Time Data
Among the projects in the works is a Web portal that would enable providers to upload their data on each activity to a central ACCME database. Instead of gathering information from providers every four years, during the reaccreditation process, "We're making it more real-time, so that we have an up-to-date, accurate database that we can use for [activity] sampling and surveillance," says Kopelow.
When Kopelow announced plans for this database at the Alliance for CME annual conference in January, providers expressed concerns that translating information from their databases to the ACCME's would create all sorts of difficulties. "Those people are absolutely correct — that's why we are not rushing in to this. We are not going to create a system that is onerous," Kopelow says. Providers won't be required to upload data until 2009 at the earliest, he says.
He adds that the ACCME is discussing plans for creating one combined database system with other organizations responsible for accrediting healthcare professional education.
Measuring for Bias
While CME has been under government and media attack for being a marketing tool of the pharmaceutical industry, CME leaders have pointed out that there is no data to justify or refute that perception. In the near future, ACCME plans to begin gathering that data by mandating that providers measure activities for commercial bias and content validity. The ACCME is cooperating with the MedBiquitous Consortium, an organization that develops technology standards in the healthcare education field, to ensure that ACCME's data format is as consistent as possible with the industry standards that are being developed. Standardized data will allow providers and the ACCME to compare results across activities and organizations, Kopelow says. In addition, the ACCME's upcoming initiatives include developing a system for monitoring activities on site.
Can We Talk?
During the past year, the ACCME has taken several steps to curtail interactions between accredited providers and commercial supporters. Now, it has issued a call for comment on a proposal that would restrict contact even further. The new rules would stipulate that accredited providers could not "receive communications" from commercial interests announcing specific content/therapeutic areas that are available for CME funding or "receive communications" regarding companies' internal criteria for providing grants. Does this preclude providers from reviewing companies' requests for proposal? RFPs can be construed as a means for companies to offer guidance on content, which is prohibited by the ACCME, Kopelow says. He acknowledges that grantors and providers need some means of communicating about companies' therapeutic interests, otherwise providers and supporters will be expending unnecessary energy writing and reviewing grants that are not likely to be funded.
Industry has to be allowed to say that it funds continuing medical education that is related directly or indirectly to its business interests, but cannot be allowed to control the content or the topics, he says. "There's got to be a recognition that there is a form of the interaction that generates what we call 'topic bias.' That's unacceptable."
The ACCME wants to hear providers' and supporters' views about appropriate communication mechanisms. In fact, he says, it was representatives of industry who suggested stricter guidelines in this area. He has contacted industry trade groups — the Biotechnology Industry Organization, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, and the Advanced Medical Technology Association — to elicit input from their members.
The ACCME has also issued a call for comment on a proposal for a new model of commercial support. Under the recommended paradigm, educational needs would have to be identified and verified by organizations that do not receive commercial support and are free from financial relationships with industry, such as government agencies; CME activities would have to address professional practice gaps that are corroborated by "bona fide" performance measurements such as those done by the National Quality Forum; content would have to align with curricula specified by "bona fide organizations" such as the American Medical Association and the American Board of Medical Specialties; and activities would have to be verified as free from commercial bias. The ACCME is accepting comments on these proposals through August 11.

A 24-year-old Upper Marlboro man has been arrested for the 57th homicide this year in Prince George's County.
Just before midnight Friday, Nov. 16, Prince George's County and Seat Pleasant police officers responded to the Low Price Gas Station in the 5600 block of Martin Luther King Highway near the Washington, D.C., border for a reported person shot in the parking lot.
According to Cpl. Maria McKinney, Prince George's County Police Department spokeswoman, officers discovered Sharod Darnell James, 31, of Southeast Washington, D.C., suffering from gunshot wounds. James was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
With tips from the community and other information provided to Prince George's County homicide detectives, Lawson Mahdi, 24, of Upper Marlboro, was arrested in connection with this murder.
Mahdi has been charged with second-degree murder and other related charges.
The investigation is ongoing.

Description: The LSM303DLMTR is a triple axis accelerometer combined with a triple axis magnetic sensor. This arrangement allows for the LSM303 to perform 6D orientation detection. This breakout board uses the LSM303DLMTR to give you all the data you need to feed into a microcontroller and calculate tilt-compensated output!
Replaces: SEN-10703
Took me a bit to find some good references for this board, here's what I found:
Library for Arduino - works great with this module
Video tutorial on calibrating the module - uses the above library
Another note: I'm using this to replace the HMC6352, which is not tilt-compensated. The HMC6352 had a nice north-indicator arrow screenprinted onto the PCB, but this LMS303 board lacks that indicator…. So, to draw it on yourself: hold the board flat in front of you, with the chip on top, and rotate the board until the "SA0" marking is properly readable to you. The north-reference arrow should be drawn to point exactly towards the right-hand edge of the board.
Hope that helps somebody else using this board!
It would be nice if there was a video comparing the LSM303DLH (old one) with this one, especially the issues with noise, which were quite significant even after calibration on the old one, sometimes it could not even get the right world side (eg. pointing it to the south would sometimes result in reading of east). I heard it was caused by the accelerometer, is there any comparsion in the means of specifications?
Maybe you should note in the description this is working on 5v not 3.3v
It's very frustrating when you realize by yourself after purchasing.
I believe that the regulator is a MIC5205 LDO, which from my experience continues to operate down to 3.1 volts… (It stopped working soon after I measured the source Lipo battery at 3.12 volts)
Seems Member #136942 also pointed this out, 2 months ago. I would think that you can still make the board word by bypassing the 3.3V regulator as suggested by them as well.
With the world increasingly moving to 3.3V - if not lower - I do agree it would be nice if all products would have their operating voltage clearly noted, perhaps as the top-most bullet point.
Whew! Found some very nice code at https://github.com/pololu/LSM303/tree/master/LSM303. The first example works well. They also have calibration routines.
No screw holes?! So sad. It could be a great device, but the lack of screw holes makes it needlessly difficult to integrate with one's project.
The lack of screw holes was intentional to keep the size of the board as minimal as possible. This is an argument that occurs for almost every sensor breakout we make as to whether screw holes would add to the board, or if the additional size would be a negative feature. Generally though, a little bit of Velcro can work wonders for applications where you need the sensor mounted.
This man has a very good point! Whats the point of using a tilt compass if you can't keep it from…tilting.
After following the great tutorial below, I have this mostly working. But it seems like the Y axis is not working correctly.
I've run this several times to calibrate the MIN and MAX settings. The problem is that Y always reports -4096 for both MIN and MAX values. min: { -4096, -4096, -507} max: { +424, -4096, +518}
As a result, the heading doesn't work correctly. Could this be the module or the library? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks in advance
Hello I bought an LSM303DLM digital compass, and have wired it to an Arduino Uno according to the video tutorial below, but I can't see any reading on the Serial Monitor. According to the traces I have put in the program, it keeps waiting unendlessly when the read function is called. Is it possible to make a check to the LSM303 module so that I can see if the module is damaged? Can I do anything else to fix the problem? Thanks
please contact email@example.com
I have sent an e-mail to that address explaining the problem 24 hours ago and haven't received any reply yet
Our tech support team has been very busy with students returning to school, but they should get back to you by Monday or Tuesday.
It doesn't work in magnetometer (bad specification I2C no ACK of chip) same with the level translator It work in accelerometer
hey. crazy question on this. everything i've seen said that having a magnetic field nearby can interfere with the accuracy. What if i wanted to imbed a magnet (say a small/medium rare earth) and use this device to always reference towards that magnet? the furthest the magnet would be is about 30" to 40" from the sensor, would it still detect? How would you determine the size of magnet for distance to override the earth's pole?
I'm looking at using this module with the Raspberry Pi. Since the Rpi uses 3.3v and this module appears to need 5v (based on the 3.3v LDO regulator usage), I'm wondering if I need to worry about this for the i2c interface. I know these are open drain lines, but since this board has pull-ups to VIN, will that cause problems?
I'd rather not use level shifters if at all possible. If the differing levels would be a problem, I'm thinking I could either bypass the 3.3v regulator and power it with the 3.3v from the rpi (thus making VIN now 3.3v). Or, maybe the easiest thing would be to remove the 4.7k pull-ups on this board. Since the Rpi already has pull-ups, would this work?
Does this have level shifters on it so that it is compatible with 5v logic?
Where is the latest updated example code for this board?
Hi Sparkfun Team, Your sample code, in the procedure getAccel, shifts the axis I suppose to make the compass work, but the result is the magnetometer and accelerometer are no longer aligned, at least that is what my measurements show. Additionally the compass works, but only with the chip aligned vertically. Your code even states this in a comment: //rawValues[ZM] = ((int)LSM303_read(OUT_X_L_A) COMMENT —>>> // had to swap those to right the data with the proper axis
I have checked all the register assignment values and they all look correct. What is it about the unit that made you decide to rotate the axis assignments ? Thanks.
Is this pin compatible with the LSM303DLH?
I'm new to all this and was wandering what is the best way to get tilt-compensated output data of this to the PC via USB and what is the update rate? Can I use an Arduino Pico? Thanks again!
I just bought the HMC6352……this one would have helped……

Footage Of Michigan Police Shooting Homeless Man Over 30 Times!
Description: " Three days before Independence Day, Milton Hall died in a fusillade of police gunfire outside a strip mall. He had been arguing with officers in a parking lot next to a shuttered Chinese restaurant when he was shot, in full view of passing motorists and while he was holding some sort of knife. Saginaw County Prosecutor Michael Thomas said later that the squad of police confronting him opened fire "because apparently, at this point in time, he was threatening to assault police." Thomas' office and the Michigan State Police are investigating Hall's death. Saginaw Police Chief Gerald Cliff said Hall was "known to be an assaultive person" with "a long history" of contacts with law enforcement, "not only with police from our department but with the county."" - CNN

Frequently asked questions about Preakness 2013
The rest of the country may know the Preakness Stakes as the second leg of the Triple Crown, but here locals know it as one of Maryland's biggest parties. An event this big requires some planning and begs a lot of questions. Can I bring a beach ball? (No.) Can I bring my 10-year-old nephew? (Yes.) So whether this is your first Preakness or you're a grizzled infield veteran this primer should come in handy.
Need a question answered that's not listed? Email Tim Swift at email@example.com, and we'll add to the list. And for news and more information on the Preakness 2013, visit The Sun's special Preakness section.
(Note: The Preakness has updated its security policies after the Boston Marathon bombings)
When is the Preakness?
The 2013 Preakness Stakes will be held on Saturday, May, 18. The gates will open at 8 a.m. Musical acts perform throughout the day. Usually the actual race starts around 6 p.m. Exact times will be announced the week of the event.
How long does it last?
If you count the concerts and the socializing, the Preakness can be all-day event, but the actual horse race lasts only 2 to 3 minutes.
Where is the Preakness?
The Preakness is held at Pimlico Race Course, 5201 Park Heights Ave., Baltimore.
How do I buy tickets and how much are they?
Purchase tickets by calling 410-542-9400 or by going to preakness.com.
Tickets to the Preakness Stakes vary depending on where you are in relation to the track. Also, the the price of tickets for access to the infield rises the week of the race and again on the day of the race. On race day, you can not move from the grandstands to the infield or vice versa.
Here's the breakdown:
- General Admission Grandstand: $25
- Infieldfest: $50-$80
- Concourse Reserved: $90
- Grandstand Upper Reserved: $105
- Concourse Box: $110

- Concourse Apron: $125
- Clubhouse Turn Reserved: $130
- Turfside Terrace: $315
What is Black Eyed Susan Day?
The Friday before the Preakness is Black-Eyed Susan Day at Pimlico. The gates open at 9:30 a.m. and the infield opens at 2 p.m. It includes the 88th running of the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes for 3-year-old fillies and appearances by notable female jockeys, with some proceeds going to breast cancer research.
New this year is an infield concert featuring rockers the Goo Goo Dolls. The show is part of the People's Pink Party, a partnership between Pimlico and Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Tickets are $5-$25. Call 877-206-8042 or go to blackeyedsusanday.com
Can I leave Pimlico on race day and come back later?
No. If you leave, you can't re-enter the course using the same ticket. This applies to all areas including the infield and the grandstand.
Are ATMs available?
Yes. ATMs will be placed in both the grandstand and infield areas.
Can I get there without driving?
By Public Transit: Maryland Transit Administration bus lines 27, 91, 44 and 54 (via Park Heights Avenue) all drop passengers off near the racetrack. Round-trip bus passes are $3.20 and day passes are $3.50. The MTA is also running shuttles from the Rogers Avenue Metro station and the Cold Spring Lane light rail station.
By Taxi: Getting there shouldn't be an issue, but taxis can be hard to find afterward. There should be some cabs available on the west side of Pimlico Road (off Northern Parkway).
Where do I park?
Close to Preakness, official lots may become full -- try ticketmaster.com. Nearby street parking is possible, but spotty. Some neighborhood residents rent spaces in their driveways and lawns; park there at your own risk.
What are the age restrictions?
You must be 18 years old to bet on the races and 21 years old to drink alcohol. People under 18 and 21 can attend the Preakness in all areas including the infield, but Pimlico's alcohol policy is strictly enforced.
Who are the musical acts?
Rapper Pitbull (above) and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will play the main stage. Chevelle, Florida Georgia Line and Kristen and The Noise will play the Jagermeister stage.
What can't you bring?
Infield: For the past few years, outside beverages such as cans or bottles of water, alcohol or soda are banned from the infield and Top of the Stretch. Balls or balloons are also forbidden. Because of extra security measures put in place after the Boston marathon bombing, coolers of all sizes and backpacks and duffle bags are no longer permitted.Grandstands: With greater security in place, the restrictions in this area are almost now identical to the infield.

Rick's Camaros is your one-stop shop for 1973 Camaro parts. The 1973 Camaro was a Second Generation F-Body Camaro, spanning from years 1970-1981. 1973 included the Z28 Coupe, Type LT Coupe, Rally Sport Coupe, and Standard Coupe. 1973 saw the introduction of the Type LT, which could be combined with the Z28, Rally Sport, or both. With more stringent front collision requirements, stronger mounting brackets were added to Rally Sport bumpers, while other models had rubber-faced vertical bumper guards, stronger mounting brackets, tubular reinforcing braces, and a support bar behind the bumper. Power windows also became available for the first time since 1969. Full foam rear seats replaced the spring style of earlier years, door impact beams were made stronger for increased side impact protection, and recovery systems were added to prevent expansion coolant loss. 1973 also made previously optional sport steering wheels standard equipment, and improved seat belts by included new buckles with reduced release effort and a positive attachment latching sound. In addition to carrying 2nd Generation 1973 Camaro parts, Rick's Camaros has parts for all Camaro models available. We have all the parts and accessories you need to help restore your Generation Two 1973 Camaro, at the best prices!

"There are times when we get really low and we're like 'God, how are we going to provide?'" church director, Rebecca Law said.
Rebecca Law helps run the food pantry at Catalyst Church in Evansville. She is especially passionate about serving others who are struggling because she's been in their shoes.
"I've been without food. I've been homeless, so who else better to witness to people and say, 'hey, it's okay you can get through this than someone who's been there," Law said.
Law says it's important for everyone to know it's okay to ask for help. That's what the food pantry is for.
"We want you to know that we're here and that's what this is about. To provide the help that we can and reach out to people and say, 'hey, we love you,'" Law told 14 News.
The food pantry is fairly new, having only been in operation for about six months. Just last month, they served nearly 200 families. That's almost 2,000 meals.
"I believe that with Christmas around the corner, the demand is going to be high and the demand is always high even without the holidays. Anywhere from the middle of the month to the end of the month, we get very busy," Law said.
Trying to keep up with that demand is hard, but Law says with the community's help, it's possible.
"To see the reaction on people's face, even for just nine meals, it's the most rewarding and blessing thing someone could do," Law said.
The food pantry is open Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The church is at 3232 Claremont Avenue in Evansville.

Suitable from birth
Order in the next 21 hours 50 minutes for express home delivery on Friday
Your baby will love bedtime cuddles with the Chicco Sweetheart Sheep.
A sweet bedtime friend to be held and cuddled. This adorable 35cm cuddly sheep is extra-soft and perfect for taking to bed. Gently press the heart on its tummy to activate the Brahms' lullaby and soft light effects that help relax and reassure baby.
If you are considering this product to deliver a warm semi bright light - forget it. The light might as well not be there. The rest is ok but by no means brilliant. Its soft and cuddly so look on it more as just another toy that plays a tune - not very loudly or for long.
Great product and really cute I love to have that sheep around
Lovely little sheep - a real bedtime pal.
The toy is really cute, very soft and the lullaby is soothing and sounds like a proper piano piece. It will arrive in demo mode so make sure you read the instructions and switch to the on mode so you get the full lullaby. Really love this purchase, just hope baby loves it too!
It is a lovely soft toy, I am not sure it will help my baby fall asleep but it is nice. In my case my son is not attracted to play with it because of the soft colour, which is good if you are using it for the bed time routine because it does not over stimulates the child.
