"I did not really appreciate the benefits of Pilates until I had Marylee as my instructor. She is remarkable! My posture, my strength and mobility have all improved. In particular my Tennis game has benefited because I now am not as tense and I use the appropriate muscles for the appropriate shots. And I am 71! I highly recommend her."
— Walter
"I've been working with Marylee for about a year and a half, and it's been a transformative experience. Her attention to detail has changed the way that I observe and move within my own body. Marylee is clearly an expert in physiology, alignment, and all the things you would expect from a skilled Pilates instructor. But more than that, Marylee has the uncanny ability to help her clients slow down, hone their focus, and ultimately heighten their awareness of the particular strengths, weaknesses, and quirks of their own bodies. Not an easy task for an over-scheduled, fast moving, fast talking, Type A-er like myself. While my respect for Marylee's technical competence is enormous, what's kept me coming back to her month after month is her delightful personality and teaching style….the simply effortless way that she blends rigor and flexibility, intensity and humor, commitment and compassion. Her dedication to her craft never overshadows her empathy for her clients. And knowing this allows me to continue to laugh with her, even when the Pilates wunda chair makes me want to cry. :) "
— Sonya
"Marylee offers the perfect combination of patience and knowledge. She worked in conjunction with the onsite chiropractor to tailor my sessions to abating my pain while gaining the strength to use my muscles properly. She answered all my questions throughly and helped me to understand the why my inappropriate use of muscles, posture and sleep habits had contributed to that pain. Her massage therapy certification only enhanced her ability to explain that connection – it all just came together. Her enthusiasm for this industry, both of a physical nature and for the therapeutic benefits, was contagious; so contagious in fact that I start my pilates instructor course this fall. I want others to feel the relief that I have and help give them the knowledge (like Marylee did for me) to stay healthy and pain free."
— Maria
"Having studied under various Romana's-trained instructors for over six years, I had moved to the South side of Chicago and was looking for a Pilates instructor who would know the classical method, yet would also bring a broader experience with other ways of mind-body improvement. I knew from experience I would respond best to very positive, encouraging instruction by someone who was comfortable and skilled with giving the right amount of kind, corrective touch. It seemed like magic when I met Marylee, who, with her intelligent enthusiasm exceeded all these preferences I had for a good instructor, of authentic Pilates. Her passion for ensuring that I was engaging the right muscles helped me to get the vigorous and rejuvenating Pilates workouts I needed."
— Cameron
"Marylee Bussard helped me locate the second power house, engage it properly and gave me exercises and adjustments to make when I got a yoga injury in my shoulder that was severe enough that I had to take an extended break in practicing yoga. Thanks to her Pilates classes, individual consultations and advice I was able to restore my shoulder and return to my yoga practice. I gained knowledge, body awareness and a much-improved form. Thank you Marylee!"
— Eva
"I have taken pilates from multiple instructors over the years. Many of these instructors used the class as an opportunity to get their own workout in, didn't have sufficient pilates training themselves so were limited in their ability to help others, or had lost their passion for teaching and therefore rushed through the exercises without regard for the level and quality of each student's ability. Marylee was different. She learns each student's level, where they need to improve, and makes sure that each student is doing the exercise correctly. She also gives us homework based on the areas that we need to strengthen. After working with Marylee, I limited my mat classes, reformer classes and now private sessions to when Marylee is teaching/available."
— Michele
"I have worked with Marylee for the last six months in two individual Pilates classes a week. I entered Pilates to strengthen my pelvic floor to counter complications caused by prostate surgery. Marylee was recommended strongly to me, but she has proven to be far better than advertised. Marylee is simply gifted, both in the extremely effective way she analyzes and retrains muscle groups and in her extraordinary ability to relate to people. She helped me tremendously…"
— Ben
"Marylee is a gifted and talented instructor whose intellectual sophistication and musical creativity make her lessons upbeat and fun which helped me stay in a regular routine. I hadn't exercised in a long time and hadn't tried pilates before working with Marylee. Marylee was patient as I developed body awareness and core strength. I saw significant gains in my body tone."
— Robert W.
"One satisfied customer here! Training under Mary has been a wonderful experience. Mary's patience and expertise has made me a better Pilate's student. My posture has so improved that I had myself measured to see if I grew or was actually just standing straighter. Didn't grow an inch but grew a foot of confidence from Mary's training."
— Mary
"I didn't expect when I began studying Pilates with Marylee that it would result in my becoming taller — I am now 1.25″ taller than when I began! I don't think that Pilates makes you grow, but I do believe that the emphasis on core strength and overall muscle toning and development has greatly improved my posture, resulting in my standing taller. How amazing is that?"
— Rochelle
"I love Pilates. I'm a long distance runner and let's just say I'm not very flexible and may forget to stretch before runs every now and then. Marylee is a talented and patient instructor who has taught me so much about my primary and secondary powerhouse, and made me more aware of my body. As a result, my posture has improved and I'm a much better runner."
— Kate

DEFEAT in Prizefighter will make Chad Gaynor, not break him, according to promoter Dave Coldwell.
Gaynor earned himself virtual and vociferous fans at Wolverhampton's Civic Hall in the welterweight eight-man tournament despite exiting at the hands of eventual winner Glenn Foot.
Thrybergh's Gaynor drew fellow unbeaten fighter Calum Cooper in the quarter-final and saved himself six minutes of over-exertion with a first round TKO.
Birmingham's Cooper flew out of the corner but Gaynor rode out and effectively laughed off his evident lack of power. As they met in the centre of the ring, Gaynor thudded him backwards with heavier shots.
Gaynor stepped up the onslaught and landed with an array of straight shots before the referee jumped in with Cooper beached on the ropes.
With Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn offering an extra £2,000 knockout bonus Millennium-trained Gaynor boosted his overall purse for the night with that win.
In the semi-final Gaynor faced another unbeaten fighter and one who had also boosted his finances with a win inside the distance in his quarter-final.
The first round went to Foot purely on work-rate although he missed wildly over a dozen times with hooks as Gaynor ducked skilfully away.
Gaynor caught Foot off balance in the second but the seasoned amateur of 100 contests, did well to tie Gaynor up in the third to progress to the final where he beat Welshman Dale Evans.
Coldwell told The Star that at just 21 Gaynor demonstrated a small portion of what he's about as a fighter and he did it to an American audience too.
He said: "Chad showed the rest of the boxing public what he's capable of. He's well known in Rotherham and the Manchester gyms but now he's out there.
"Prizefighter trended fifth globally last night. My Twitter has gone daft and so has his."
Plaudits came from the world of Twitter with boxer Curtis Woodhouse saying: "gutted @ChadGaynor couldn't pull out the win but you have seen the young man has a bright future."
Gaynor will fight on Coldwell's Magna card headlined by Woodhouse's English title defence against Shayne Singleton on February 22.

Residents worry if bankruptcy will better Detroit
Residents worry if bankruptcy will better Detroit
DETROIT (AP) — In Detroit, it can take police nearly an hour to respond to a 911 call. Despite razing close to 10,000 vacant houses, three times as still stand with windows smashed and doors ripped off. At night, many streets and even freeways are dangerously shrouded in darkness because tens of thousands of street lights don't work.
This is Detroit, an insolvent city seeking to find its way through the uncertainty of the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy.
For decades, residents have heard one city official after another vow to improve city services but little would be done. On Friday — a day after the city filed the unprecedented bankruptcy — they were given a deadline.
Gov. Rick Snyder and Detroit emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, promised weary residents that they would see better city services in 30 to 60 days.
"Now is our opportunity to stop 60 years of decline," Snyder said Friday during a press conference just north of downtown.
Though Thursday's bankruptcy filing had been feared for months, the path ahead for the once mighty Motor City is still uncertain. As Detroit starts the likely lengthy process of shedding its debt, residents, businesses owners and retirees nervously wonder if they'll see improvements after years of neglect or if another round of promises will go unfulfilled.
Resident Dennis Talbert has waged a battle to improve his northwest side neighborhood of Brightmoor for years, pleading with city officials to raze rows of vacant homes that have been stripped of electrical wiring and plumbing.
So far, none have been torn down.
Mayor Dave Bing continues with his plan to demolish 10,000 empty houses before his term ends in December, and some private companies are jumping in to tear down dangerous buildings. But it's costly and the city's inventory is too massive to make a real dent.
"I don't think the trickle-down theory works in Brightmoor," Talbert said. "The whole issue of bankruptcy will not impact poor people. Only when organizations start moving our way will those houses be removed."
In the heyday of its industrial power, Detroit used to boast of having one of the highest owner-occupied housing rates in the country thanks to the then-booming auto industry that offered well-paying jobs and a gateway to the middle class. In the 1950s, 1.8 million people lived here. Now, the population struggles to stay about 700,000. With neighborhoods in neglect, property values have plummeted.
One pocket of promise is in the Woodbridge neighborhood between the city's rebounding Midtown and downtown areas. The homes on Woodbridge's tree-lined Avery Street are mostly occupied and well-kept — something that attracted Daniel Mercer to a structurally sound but cosmetically needy two-story Victorian built in 1900.
"I used to come driving up and down the street all the time because I work in the area … and I happened to see a (for-sale) sign, and it went up that day," said Mercer, 54, a painter and handyman. "There are a lot of people that have the same love for these old houses that I have … and the passion to fix them up."
He bought the home about six weeks ago and plans to move in with his wife on Aug 10. The fact that he's moving in at the same time the city is filing for bankruptcy isn't lost on him.
He believes property values will climb even if they take an initial dip because of bankruptcy.
"We've got a 10-year plan, to be honest with you," he said. "There's a lot of work to do."
Buried in the hundreds of pages of bankruptcy documents is the name Hercules & Hercules, Inc. For more than two decades, the janitorial supply company has done business with the city, but on occasion, Detroit couldn't pay and the company allowed it to forego payments. For Belinda Jefferson, president of the family-run firm, the bankruptcy doesn't change its commitment.
"We know the city is facing challenges and we're going to stick by them," said Jefferson, who declined to reveal how much Hercules & Hercules is owed.
The company is one of more 7,000 vendors listed among the 100,000 creditors documented in the bankruptcy filing. Those with debt tied to revenue streams like water and sewerage fees will get paid. Unsecured debt holders like Hercules & Hercules will have to stand in line and see what remains if a judge gives Detroit the OK to proceed with bankruptcy.
"We will treat everyone in the unsecured class equally because that's what's required under the law," Orr said. "How that breaks out is a function of the math."
The phones are lighting up at the offices of the Retired Detroit Police & Fire Fighters Association.
"The thing we can tell them right now is: 'Nothing's happened yet. Our pension hopefully will be there on Aug. 1 when it comes in,'" said the group's vice president, Greg Trozak.
Detroit has about 10,000 workers and 18,000 retirees, and Snyder called the amount of money Detroit spends on health care and pensions "unsustainable."
For retirees like Trozak, city-funded health care may become a thing of the past.
"How can we make sure there are alternative health care programs?" Snyder said. "There is basically zero funding that has been set aside for the health care liabilities in the city of Detroit."
Rosalind Childs called 911 last year after her teenage son came home to find their home had been burglarized. The thieves took off with a laptop computer, money and a designer handbag.
"I got home four hours later and he was sitting there with a butcher's knife in my house waiting for the police to come," Childs said of her son.
After two more calls, the 51-year-old Childs was told she would be better off making a report at the closest precinct.
Childs is doubtful bankruptcy will change anything.
"We already are getting poor city services. Last week, they didn't even pick up our trash," she said. "I don't think bankruptcy is really going to make a difference. You can't put a band aid on a gunshot wound."
Associated Press reporters David Eggert, Jeff Karoub, Mike Householder and Tom Krisher contributed to this report.

Small claims procedures are established by state law. This means there are differences in the operating rules of small claims courts from state to state, including the maximum amount for which you can sue; who can sue; and the what, where, and when of filing papers. There are even differences in what small claims court (or its equivalent) is called in the different states, with justice, district, municipal, city, county, and magistrates court among the names commonly used.
Although the details of using small claims courts vary from state to state, the basic approach necessary to prepare and present a case is remarkably similar everywhere. But details are important, and you should do three things to make sure you understand how small claims court works in your state:
The purpose of small claims court is to hear disputes involving modest amounts of money, without long delays and formal rules of evidence. Disputes are normally presented directly by the people involved. Lawyers are prohibited in some states, including Michigan and California, but are allowed in most. However, the limited dollar amounts involved usually make it economically unwise to hire a lawyer. The maximum amount of money for which you can sue (in legal jargon, the "jurisdictional amount") is set by state law, too. While these amounts vary state by state, the range is from as low as $1,500 (Kentucky) to as high as $15,000 (Delaware).
Check your state's jurisdictional amount before you file. You can find this online on the Nolo website or through your small claims court or state website.
There are three great advantages of small claims court:
But before you decide that small claims court sounds like just the place to bring your case, you will want to answer a basic question: Will the results you expect to achieve balance out the effort you will have to expend? Even in small claims court, a successful case will probably take ten to 20 hours to prepare and present and, depending on your personality, may actually cause a few sleepless nights.
In order to assess whether your dispute is worth the effort of bringing to court, you will want to understand the details of how small claims court works. Being clear about who can sue, where, and for how much is a good start. You will also want to learn some basics about the law and your case to answer such important questions as whether you are likely to win and, if so, how much. And, of course, even if you conclude you do have a winning case, you'll want to understand how best to prepare and present it. Finally, and most importantly, comes the detail that so many people overlook, to their later dismay. Assuming that you prepare and present your case brilliantly and get a judgment for everything you request, can you collect the money? The ability to get paid seems a silly thing to overlook, doesn't it? Unfortunately, many plaintiffs who go through the entire small claims procedure and come out winners have no chance of collecting a dime because they have sued a person who has no money and no reasonable prospect of getting any.

Catalogue des Livres rares et singuliers du Cabinet de M. Filheul, Précédé de quelques Eclaircissemens sur les Articles importans ou peu connus, & suivi d'une Table alphabétique des Auteurs
La Vente de ces Livres commencera le 3 Mai 1779… 2 p.l., lvi, 502 pp., 1 leaf. 8vo, cont. French red half-morocco & boards, flat spine charmingly gilt, with the tool of a harp in the center of the compartments, in the second compartment a green morocco lettering piece. Paris: Dessain, 1779. A most unusual copy of this handsomely printed sale catalogue; it is the first of several sales, here held under the maiden name of his wife "Filheul," by which Chardin, one of the most important Parisian booksellers of his time, periodically disposed of a portion of his vast stock. We know of later sales in 1806, 1819 (in London), and 1824. This did not prevent Chardin from selling many rare books and MSS. directly to collectors throughout his career - the most outstanding was no doubt the Psalter of St. Louis which he sold to a Russian Grand Duke, and which Louis XVII acquired from him for the Bibliothèque Royale. The above catalogue, especially rich in early French books, is extremely well compiled and has been long held in high esteem. According to Longchamp, I, p. 496, La Vallière purchased heavily at this sale. One of the remarkable features of this catalogue is the large number of heterodox and politically subversive books betraying Chardin's sympathies which, years later, made him an enthusiastic supporter of the Revolution: of 122 lots only the number is given and their authors and titles are indicated by dots. In our copy these have been supplied by Frédéric Lachèvre, the well-known bibliographer (d. ca. 1957) in his wonderfully neat and spidery hand, adding numerous notes to various other lots, derived from contemporary annotations in other copies of the catalogue at his disposal. Chardin was eulogized at length by Dibdin who had him portrayed by Lewis in his Tour in France and Germany, II, pp. 400-404. Fine and handsome copy with the bookplates of F. Lachèvre and A.L. McLaughlin. 2544 lots; priced throughout in a contemporary hand. ? Gustave Brunet, Dictionnaire de Bibliologie Catholique, col. 459-"Il s'y trouve un assez grand nombre de livres rares et singuliers." Grolier Club, Printed Catalogues of French Book Auctions...1643-1830, 277. Peignot, p. 98-"Catalogue intéressant par le grand nombre d'articles précieux qu'il renferme.".

Step 1
Consider the diameter of the staircase. You must allow for the same amount of space upstairs and downstairs. Take into account how much traffic the staircase will handle. Ask your town's building inspector if the building code requires a minimum diameter. (Reference 1)
Step 2
Measure the height from floor to floor. Make sure the top and bottom of the staircase is at least two inches away from the floor and ceiling. Decide on the width of treads. Make the stair landing more than two times the treads' width. (Reference and 2)
Step 3
Decide how much space should separate each baluster. Prefer smaller spaces that children cannot fall through. (Reference 1)
Step 4
Determine where to place the railings. Also decide what style of railings to install.They come in aluminum, bead and groove, black vinyl and solid wood.
Step 5
Choose a half or full revolution. For a full revolution, you need only consider how many runs and stair rises you want. If you choose the half revolution, you will have to give up tread width in order to accommodate runs and rises.
Step 6
Select the type of staircase, such as winding spirals, stacked spirals, domed spirals or rectangular spirals.
Step 7
Design a well enclosure rail at the top of the staircase to prevent anyone from falling. Check with your town's building code for the minimum height of the rail. Decide whether the rail will circle the top of the stair case or whether it will attach to the top floor in straight lines.
- Opt for a staircase made from galvanized stair which doesn't rust and doesn't require painting or costly maintenance.
- When deciding on the staircase's diameter, a 6 ft. size requires 6'2" x 6'2", above and below. If you have more size, extend that opening several more inches just to allow for extra room.
- If you've hired a contractor to do the job, ask about stair packages custom made according to your town's building code.
- You can choose to cut a hole in your floor or attach the staircase next to a balcony.
- If you decide to go the floor route, you can choose whether to make a square or round opening.

The geometric character of the logo type, whose original form stems from the 1920s, has been sharpened and the image element geometrically corrected and optimised for small reproductions.

We were at Hubby's hockey game on Saturday and waiting for him to come out of the dressing room. Little E had already visited Daddy in the room and came out proudly holding a hockey stick. It was so cute watching him struggle with the over-sized stick and he was keeping himself busy trying to shoot a puck around the lobby. My friend and I looked at eachother and thought - what a great photo opportunity! As we both had our heads down searching for the camera application on our Blackberries, little E calls my name.
In comes random man.
"Mommy is busy playing on her phone", he says. Too which I quickly and calmly replied, "Actually, I'm trying to take a picture of him". There are many ways I could have replied, but that's not my nature. Maybe I should have reminded him of something I'm sure his Mother had told him many times when he was younger. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!"
For what it's worth, here is the only picture I was able to take in my fit of rage. I thought it was a cute moment, but apparently in trying to capture this moment I was a unfit Mother.

Ugly fan behavior has long been a part of sports. I suspect in medieval times, the first English soccer fan downed one too many pints of ale, painted his chest, smuggled his spiked club into a game and next thing you know, hooliganism was born.
Because we wouldn't be anywhere without England, it was only a matter of time before Americans were getting drunk, painting their chests and beating on each other -- though, thank goodness, the NFL banned spiked clubs, I believe, at that meeting at the Hupmobile dealership.
Just the same, we have apparently learned very little since then, often using the occasion of an otherwise wholesome pastime like a sporting event to express our basest instincts. And when I say, "our," of course, I mean "their."
Surely, it can only be someone we do not know and would never associate with who would be capable of the act that Pittsburgh Steelers fan Zack Heddinger accused one or more Bears fans of committing.
Heddinger, 46, said he has lost his eyesight and part of his memory after accepting what he now says was a spiked drink from Bears fans as a supposed peace offering after an altercation at a downtown bar following the Bears' victory over the Steelers at Soldier Field on Sept. 20.
If proved, this will no doubt go down in history as one of the most heinous acts of unruly fan behavior ever, though I'm betting that even as I write this, there is a guy sitting on a barstool somewhere in Chicago claiming that the same thing happened to him and worse when he was in a Pittsburgh bar "a coupla years ago."
I have no way of knowing exactly what happened in the Steelers fan incident. I am confident heavy alcohol consumption was involved, which if not explains it, then frames it in a way with which we are unfortunately familiar.
Obviously, no one deserves to be maimed because of their team persuasion. But have we come to a point that fans must be held at least partly responsible for what happens to them in so-called enemy territory? And how far does it go? Is it OK to wear your Bears jersey while sitting in Cleveland's Dawg Pound? Of course. This is America, remember (see: second paragraph). But is it smart?
My brother Barry, a longtime Bears season-ticket holder, goes by bus to a Bears road game about once a year with a fan group. The bus ride is supposed to be part of the fun. But aside from this, I trust his judgment and his opinion. "There's a certain etiquette involved in going to opposing stadiums," he said. "You're a guest. If you don't annoy people, you can certainly enjoying watching your team play and not add to the tension. You don't behave as if you're in Soldier Field. It's just rude.
"That's what I've done anyway, and I haven't been punched out or poisoned yet."
Of course, there is a happy medium, something between mooning opposing fans and my brother's Miss Manners routine.
Jim Lannon, a Bears season-ticket holder and attorney from LaSalle who organizes one of these Bears fan groups, exercises the push-it-as-far-as-you-can-within-the-boundaries-of-good-taste approach, and finds this tact to have been largely successful for the 30 years he has spent traveling to one or two road games a year.
"I have a Bears hat and a Bears sweater that's probably 35 years old that I wear, and I always get compliments on it," Lannon said. "And when we go to restaurants the night before, sometimes really nice places, we always sing the Bears' fight song and people find that very amusing. Most don't have a fight song the way the Bears do. We don't hide at all, and I've found fans to be very welcoming."
When it comes to screaming for the Bears, the volume, Lannon said, "depends on how much I've had to drink. Of course, I would think it would be inappropriate to rub their noses in it. I think you have to be smart."
Obviously, there have been very few nose-rubbing opportunities of late, but that's another column for another day.
Lannon's friend, Jim Wimbiscus, a retired Circuit judge, told the story of attending a game two years ago in Detroit -- a Bears loss -- after which Lions fans chanted at Jim's group, all wearing Bears gear: "Bears suck, Bears suck."
"So someone in our group said, 'At least we get to go back to Chicago. You have to stay in this [blank]hole,' " Wimbiscus recalled.
Wimbiscus thought the Lions fans were kind of hostile, and far be it from me to argue with a judge, retired or otherwise, but I would interpret the Bears fan's response as the sort of behavior that could result in visiting fans seeking medical attention and would not fall under the category of good judgment.
At the United Center, one security guard said drunken behavior has been greatly reduced at Blackhawks and Bulls games the past few years.
"Fans aren't getting smarter," he said. "The price of liquor is getting too expensive. The average guy who got into fights before was in his early 20s. Those guys don't have enough money to get drunk now."
Alcohol-fueled or otherwise, I'd still like to believe that the Steelers fan incident was an isolated example of a sociopath at work, and that fans can still enjoy a sporting event in an opposing city without being in fear of their safety.
Look no further than my brother, who has been largely unscathed if you don't count his experience in Cincinnati four weeks ago, "an absolute nightmare" in his words.
"First of all," he recounted, his voice still trembling at the memory, "the Bears didn't actually go to that game but sent stunt doubles impersonating NFL players. There were probably 10,000 Bears fans, but by the second quarter, there were closer to 400, most of us melting into a puddle of humiliation under our seats.
"The Cincinnati fans were pretty rude, but we had no rejoinder. We were what the team was."
Nothing more hideous than that.

I love my wife.
But sometimes, I don't tell her enough. Or I don't communicate it in a way that she can receive it.
That's not her fault. It's my fault for presuming that she should just feel loved because she's married to me.
In the last couple of weeks, a couple of news stories have caught my attention. One is national news (at least in Christian circles), the Strange Fire conference, led by John MacArthur. The other was local news in my town. A couple of restaurant patrons, in lieu of a tip, wrote a "loving" message to their server, whom they assumed was homosexual. (You can see where this is going already. Be warned, there are slurs quoted below.)
And although both events seem as if they have nothing in common, they have a common thread. The perpetrators invoked "love" as their motivation.
It seems that "love" really does cover a multitude of sins, at least if you tell everyone that's your motivation. But these two examples prove, once again, how good Christians can be at using the word "love" in vain, and both can teach us something about what it means to truly love others.
Strange Fire, Strange Love Language
Let's start with MacArthur's Strange Fire conference because more of us are probably familiar with the event. If you don't know, John MacArthur spent an entire weekend "proving" the Charismatic movement is a cult, made up of non-Christians. And of course, he had reams of Bible verses to prove his points.
Longtime readers will know that I have never spoken in tongues, healed anyone or prophesied in the charismatic sense of the word. I am a proud member of the "frozen chosen." Yet, spending an entire weekend conference on saying that 500 million people are going to hell sounds like an incredibly silly, petty, ridiculous waste of time.
Now, MacArthur responded to the criticism that it all sounded "hateful" and "divisive" by playing this old card:
"The most loving thing you can do for someone is tell them the truth."
Of course, he also said that his book (which the whole conference was intended to promote) is "for the church" and since Charismatics are not part of the church, it would not benefit them. They presumably would not be able to understand his superior Bible exegesis because they have been brainwashed. So is he telling Charismatics the truth or not?
That question is moot. It simply means that MacArthur gets to have it both ways. He gets to say that Charismatics will not benefit from his book because they are brainwashed. But he gets to cover his tracks by saying this is all done in "love" because he's telling Charismatics the truth.
In this case, the medium really is the message.
Here's A Tip For You
Last week, it was reported in my town that two restaurant patrons chose not to leave a tip for the young man who served them dinner. Instead, they left a note, partially quoted here:
"Thank you for your service; it was excellent. However, we cannot in good conscience tip you because your homosexual lifestyle is an affront to God. Faggots will not share God's wealth and you will not share in ours. It is never too late for God's love, but people will not be spared for their fag choices…"
Again, it amazes me how the "Christian" perpetrators cover their tracks by casually invoking "love" in their message. Apparently, you can call someone a faggot, threaten them with burning in hell, steal money from them (since the server has to divide tips and sales with other restaurant staff), but invoke God's love to cover your tracks.
There are so many things wrong with this scenario. How did they know their server was gay anyway? Did he tell them his name, the specials, and his sexual history? In what universe is this acceptable?
Again, the medium is the message. Writing "love" on the back of a receipt between gay slurs is not "love."
Why Don't You Know I Love You?
I know that "The Five Love Languages" are not a scientific psychological tool. But they are pretty accurate and easy to remember.
Funny thing, I don't think anyone's love language is weekend-long conference where you are called a brainwashed heretic.
I also don't remember being left a slur-ridden, insulting note instead of money being on the list.
Let this be a reminder to all of us, because these are extreme examples. I am among the worst at thinking that how I show love should be interpreted correctly by the people around me. It's actually my responsibility to ensure that my communication of love is clear and received by people. I can't just call it "love" and cover my tracks after doing whatever I desire. Love is not lazy, friends.
What do you think? About Strange Fire, about the "tip" at the restaurant, about our where our responsibility begins and ends to let people know we love them?
