Reflect Emmanuel
Reflect Emmanuel is a series of Advent meditations on Emmanuel, our God with us
December 12, 2014Jacob Peters, Class of 2015
The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you." But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end."
But Mary said to the angel,
"How can this be,
since I have no relations with a man?"
And the angel said to her in reply,
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore the child to be born
will becalled holy, the Son of God.
And be hold, Elizabeth, your relative,
has also conceived a son in her old age,
and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
for nothing will be impossible for God."
Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word."
Then the angel departed from her.
Imagine this if you will, while laying in bed one night you get this eerie feeling that someone is with you. You open your eyes, and there is this being (an angel) who calls himself Gabriel. He says that you are going to get pregnant and give birth to a child. On top of that, you will remain a virgin (despite somehow getting pregnant), and you can't even name the Him, because God already did that. But don't worry, He will become this amazing leader for the Jewish people.
Now, if I were Mary, I'd probably be pinching myself to wake up, because this makes very little sense. And this is perhaps the most bizarre part of the entire advent story. Mary was given the gift of this child, whom she will call Jesus. She did not understand this, she may not have even wanted it, but she accepted it. God is perfect and all powerful, I already understand that, but as humankind, we are flawed and selfish. Many people think Mary didn't have an option, however the history of abortion dates back to ancient times. If I were Mary, I would not have accepted it so lightly. I would have presented Gabriel with a laundry list of questions. She only asked one question, just one.
God, presents us with some of the most amazing opportunities. Naturally, in this case, Mary's pregnancy is a bit more serious. But in our day to day lives, The Lord offers us with choices that can change the path we walk. All we have to do is reach out for those moments, grab them, and not let go. We may only see small glimpses of where this will be taking us but we must trust in The Lord, and trust in the future He has in store for us.
Think, what if Mary laughed at Gabriel, turned her back, and denied her pregnancy?

Hey. I started playing this a couple of days ago (im level 12 now)
I have bought a few heroes...
Evelyn, Janna, Kayle, Master Yi, Soraka. (also i played a whole day using Tremedere when he was free)
The first hero I ever played with was Soraka. It was really, fun. I would heal people, i would kill mobs pretty well. I made a friend, he would tank- i would heal...
This was last week when gragas was free... He plays gangplank now, which he likes, but gangplank is much squishier then gragas... Soraka, you need someone who is a tank with you. Playing games you dont always get that =/
I then played tremedere all day. I saw plenty of players do really well with him. I actually did fairly well too, that day. It was fun. I don't own him, but honestly I can't say I like the hero too much. He was okay.
Anyway, then I decided to buy Janna. Jana was great fun. I won a couple games with her, flipping people was great. Then I also bought Kayle. I was like, in love. Kayle was awesome.
Then the new week started, so there were new free heroes. I decided to buy Evelyn, to try out a stealth class because she looked fun. Man, every single time i played her I kept losing. I was like...okay, bad choice- lets go back to Kayle, the hero i won so many games with. Well, with the new weeks heroes...I lost most games.
I bought Yi out of desperation, because when I see players who are good at him, they look overpowered...usually kill their opponent in like 2-3 hits. It looks like their health literally melts in a second or two.
Master Yi felt different...but I never really encountered a player who's health I could just melt, like I had seen. ..
I don't really know whats going on here, but I am really tired of losing game after game the last couple of days. Twitch just destroys any hero I use.. (twitch is popular), the other hero i keep going up against is this wolf hero...He destroys me too. I am really starting to dislike certain champions...but meh.
All in all, ive had a miserable time losing game after game the last couple of days.
I am thinking of uninstalling...Look, i dont cry or start raging or anything...but when you lose time, and time again...
It's just seriously depressing. I think I am a good player...I try not to feed... I look up the builds I should be using for my champions..
What am i doing wrong?? Is there anything I can do?
this free champion rotation is really horrible. next week it will go back to rarely seeing twitch, with not that many warwicks. in regards to the other problems, you lose some you win some, technically matchmaking is supposed to be a near 50% win loss ratio, so if you are up 10 wins, expect to lose a few, and vice versa. as your level goes up, teammates will get more skilled,and so will you. this will soften the blow of losing so much i hope. try making some more friends and do arranged team to avoid any bad apples in a solo queue. stay at it and you will win.
To be honest, 6/10 times it probably is not you at all.
Quite often you will be thrown very bad players in matchmaking in order to punish you for having a free mind. I suggest hanging out on group chat and trying to put together a good team. Its a team game, you will lose now and then, but try your best and you shall prevail!
I have a 50/50 ratio in wins and losses like many other games, thats how matchmaking seems to like rigging it.
Well your 1st mistake was buying heroes before you actually tried them out. If you insist on spending money on heroes wait till they come out that week and then try them to see if you like them.
As you know items are a big thing as well. If you not sure what items to buy go check out some of the guides in the GUIDES and STRATEGIES section of the forums. They have them all listed out for every character on the 1st post.
You might just be getting bad teams as well (it happens and we all go through slumps sometimes). Just hang in there and keep pluggin away. The best way to deal with twitch or ANY other stealth class is to buy wards or a clarity pot, pretty much owns them.
The thing about yi is you have to have a good mix of Attack speed and Atk dmg. Most atk speed combined iwth his ult to really chew through ppls hp. One really good counter for WW is to get cleanse as one of your summoner skills. It owns his ult or get merc treads.
There are a ton of things I could tell you but unless I actually watch you play I can't give much advice
:-(. Sorry, just hang in there and keep pluggin away!!
You're the common element in all of these games, so chances are you're not as good as you'd like to think you are. **** happens though. I lose all the time and I hate this game, but **** if I'm going to uninstall it or stop playing. Just deal with it and you'll either improve and keep winning, or realize that this game isn't for you.
friend me in game, kektr0city (that's a zero). i'll run some practice matches with you and give you some tips.
Lehran Fye
First of all Voltairez, this week was awful for new players overall due to this week free champs but come on! Don't feel bad about it, here are some advice for this week.
If the enemy has one twitch in their team be careful and try to check your minimap more often than you use to and if you see that he is missing from his lane try stay as near as possible from your turret; try to buy a ward to make your laning phase easier and see when twitch apears, mid-late game buy oracles and try to make your team buy some too.
Secondly, the wolf is named Warwick yeah he is kinda annoying but no big deal he prolly will be jungling and most likely have some neutral buffs so again try to put a ward in the bushes of the river to see if he is coming for a gank, his ultimate is totally cleanseable so this week i sugest you pick cleanse as one of your summoner spells and punish him for trying to ult you using cleanse to get out of it; really try not to 1vs1 the wolf if he is at high health currently he is one of the best 1vs1 champs in the game but as i told you before: Currently Cleanse makes his ultimate useless against you.
If you are still willing to use Master Yi here is a hint, his passive double strike will make you hit twice every 7 hits, you actually have a counter in your screen that tells you when double strike is ready, in the laning phase when its ready use alpha strike to one champ with low hp (not tanks) and do an auto attack and you'll see how his health will go down alot just again be careful and dont use this if u are on low health too OR if the other team can stun lock you.
Hope this helps a bit and see you at the fields of justice.

Paris Brothers Inc. is hoping you'll follow the smell of roasting coffee straight to Union Station.
As reported in The Kansas City Star, Parisi Artisan Coffee is opening its first retail location in the city at the downtown train station (30 West Pershing Road). A late spring opening for the coffee store, which will serve food and drinks, is planned.
A coffee shop is a welcome addition to the roster at Union Station because it offers a middle ground between the concessions and sit-down restaurants that are currently in operation. But the decision wasn't purely financial, as Paris Brothers Vice President Joseph Paris explains to the Star:
"It gives us an opportunity to show who we are, and it provides a service for a civic location. If we were worried strictly about a return on investment, it may not make sense. But we believe in what is going on down there."Parisi has focused on its presence locally the past few years, introducing a Royal Blue blend at Kauffman Stadium in 2009. And when I sampled the iced version at home last year (Royal Blue is also available at Hy-Vee), I was happy to proclaim it the "best ballpark coffee I've ever had." The specialty roaster's coffee is served at Jasper's Restaurant, Cafe Europa, Pandolfi's Deli, the Westport Coffee House, and You Say Tomato, among others.

Great Ship; Great Food
We booked this cruise primarily to relax and enjoy good food. We were not disappointed. The cabin was very comfortable; good bed; balcony. The bathroom was ok, but the shower was rather small. The tub takes much space and was unneccessary for us.
The food in all restaurants (4 speciality restaurants, dining room, terrace cafe, wave grill) was excellent; the best we ever had on a cruise.
While non-alcoholic beverages are free, alcohol is rather expensive.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
We did not book any shore excursions due to their high price level.
Two ports were cancelled due to bad weather conditions.
We recommend this ship to anyone who likes good food and a comfortable cabin. Less

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Pivot point for Idle No More
May fizzle or make real change
On Portage Avenue's western fringe, between a Chicken Chef Family Restaurant and a Perimeter Highway off-ramp, about three dozen demonstrators stood on the street for several hours in an attempt to draw attention to indigenous treaty rights.
"I want my children to know when you sign your name on paper, it means something," said Susan Koncan, one of about 35 people -- many of them Cree or Anishinabe, some of them not -- who took part in a Wednesday-afternoon Idle No More rally on the city's busiest artery.
Outside of reporters, police officers and one lonely Winnipeg Transit supervisor, the only onlookers at this particular Portage Avenue protest were employees of three nearby auto shops and a handful of St. Charles residents out for a walk and a gawk. The Winnipeg Police Service, which has grown adept at handling demonstrations of all sorts, kept motorists three full blocks away from the actual rally.
This move precluded the possibility of pedestrian-vehicle collisions and angry exchanges between drivers and demonstrators -- and also eliminated any meaningful interaction between the people carrying placards and their intended audience.
If the Idle No More movement's goal is to merely attract attention, consider that objective achieved. But if Idle No More's actual aim is to genuinely engage Canadian society in a debate about environmental stewardship of the land and respecting treaty obligations, then that message may be getting lost as the movement both expands and devolves into less-organized demonstrations.
In December, when Idle No More coalesced as a grassroots movement, it appeared to be both organized and focused.
The initial Winnipeg demonstrations, well-orchestrated operations held inside shopping malls and outside Richardson International Airport, appeared to draw attention to treaty obligations Ottawa has generally failed to honour over the centuries.
Now, the national Idle No More movement is also about Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence's hunger strike, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's reluctance to acknowledge it, the potential reform of the Indian Act and the elimination of inequality between aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadians.
The movement's focus has diffused to the point where some of its original organizers complained earlier this week the movement has been co-opted by elected chiefs -- who responded by calling for indigenous unity.
As a movement, Idle No More is experiencing some sort of identity crisis.
"That's where we're at right now," said Ryan McMahon, a Winnipeg comedian who podcasts about Idle No More at redmanlaughing.com and is a passionate supporter of the movement on several social-media platforms.
"Because it grew so quickly and is so huge, it's hard to keep tabs on it," he said in a telephone interview on Wednesday. "But most people will tell you it's about the treaty relationship."
When McMahon says "most people," he means people already engaged by Idle No More. It's safe to say many other Winnipeggers do not stop to think often about the complicated relationship between the Crown and Canada's First Nations.
It's also a certainty the angry guy in the red pickup truck on Wednesday wasn't thinking about treaty rights when he muttered at two cops sitting in a cruiser car at the corner of Isbister Street and Portage Avenue. All he knew is he wanted to turn right and head west towards Headingley and had to turn left instead.
McMahon, who had no involvement in the St. Charles demonstration, nonetheless said slowing traffic can make a point. "We're going to inconvenience you for an hour, whereas we've been inconvenienced for hundreds of years."
Given Canada's treatment of its original inhabitants, that's a fair point to make, even if you don't agree with it. But if Canadians aren't digesting that message now, additional demonstrations -- especially if they're poorly run -- may only induce a backlash, not mutual understanding between all citizens.
What's happening to Idle No More right now is reminiscent of the Occupy movement, which started out as an anti-Wall Street protest in New York City but soon mushroomed into something far more amorphous. Within weeks, Occupy became an almost meaningless umbrella for a wide range of left-of-centre protest sentiment. In the end, Occupy became little more than a brand name.
Occupy fizzled out because it had no goal beyond nudging mainstream culture to the left a little bit, much as the Tea Party movement nudged the United States a little to the right a few years earlier.
Idle No More may suffer the same fate if the movement fails to focus on a noble goal: Creating more awareness about Canada's obligations toward all of its citizens.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Last week I picked 15+ pounds of Sambucus from a nearby tree. This is the one I always go to, since it yields above and beyond the other local wild elderberry bushes. I made elderberry mead in previous years and it tasted excellent, but this year I wanted to try wine instead. I put the berries still clustered into the freezer because I find it easier to separate them from the clusters frozen than fresh.
Two days ago I prepared the must with the berries in a 6 gallon bottling bucket. Just a lemon-oj-sugar-raisin concoction with the berries and a little nutrient and some campden tablets. Yesterday I pitched some Red Star Premier Cuvee', which is my usual workhorse for my concoctions. Today it is pumping out CO2 like a machine.

Elderberries aren't very tasty by themselves, but I've always made great stuff from them!
I have and elderberry bush in my yard and yes they are nasty alone but make great things.
This is the recipe I have used for elderberry wine
10 lbs fresh, ripe elderberries
1-3/4 lbs finely granulated sugar
4-1/2 to 5 pints water
1 tsp acid blend
1 tsp yeast nutrient
1 tsp pectic enzyme
Montrachet wine yeast
Elf wine very good

This year has been bad for most of our fruit plants but my reliance grapes are doing very well so thats my next batch. First time with these grapes hoping for the
You know, raw elderberries contain a toxin called sambunigrin which can cause gastrointestinal distress in some people, which is why they're not eaten raw here in Austria. Wikipedia states that sambunigrin is not heat stable, and indeed a sweet delicacy called Hollerröster is made from elderberries and plums. An old book I read about making country wine also recommends that eleerberries be boiled before using them in winemaking.
_________________________________________________-I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
Hmm, can't really say anything about Sambucus canadiensis' toxin content, afaik i the European species has the toxin in and around the seeds as well.
On another note, I think trying to use a boiled elderberry mash might have its merits taste-wise, the taste of European elderberry improves drastically when cooked.
Growing up we always picked wild elderberries for wine and jelly. Always the purple-black ones, my mother said NEVER the red ones. But I never saw a red one. She always boiled them first. I just read an old recipe, that said to put boiling water over the crushed berries and leave overnight then strain. Then you can boil the berry liquid and proceed from there. Supposedly it helps with the cloudiness. Makes me laugh that they are now selling sambucus capsules/beverages in the health food stores and mom was making us pick them 40 years ago on Mystery Trips!

USC's Ronald Johnson (Muskegon) celebrates a touchdown against Oregon with offensive tackle Tyron Smith (70) on Oct. 30, 2010. / KEITH BIRMINGHAM / Pasadena Star-News
Offensive tackle Tyron Smith visited the Detroit Lions today, according to the team's Web site.
Smith, from Southern California, is considered the No. 1 offensive lineman in the draft and a candidate to go No. 13 overall to the Lions. He also has visited the Minnesota Vikings, who pick 12th, and Dallas Cowboys, who pick ninth, among other teams.
Lions general manager Martin Mayhew downplayed his team's need at offensive tackle at the NFL's annual meetings last month, but Smith might be too enticing to pass up if he's on the board when the Lions pick. Right tackle Gosder Cherilus is coming off microfracture knee surgery, and left tackle Jeff Backus is 33 and entering the final season of his contract.
Smith, 6-feet-5 and 310 pounds, started the last two seasons at right tackle for the Trojans -- he could play either side in the NFL -- and was voted the best offensive lineman in the Pac-10 as a 19-year-old junior. He has gained about 25 pounds since the start of the draft process, after playing last season around 285 pounds. He attributed the change to a healthier diet.
Lions offensive line coach George Yarno attended Smith's pro-day workout last month.

Seven years ago, a group of community members teamed up with the Montana Western women's basketball program to stage a breast cancer awareness game to honor survivors and increase awareness of the disease.

Montana Western's Dexter Williams Jr. was selected Frontier Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week for a second time this season.
The University of Montana Western football program has announced its 2015 game schedule. The 10 contests feature only Frontier Conference opponents, with five home and five away games slated.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

One Week Cruise to Normandy
A quick report on my one week cruise to Normandy with
British Offshore
. There's a full photo gallery of the trip at
One Week Sail to Normandy
On Monday morning we crossed the English Channel to Cherbourg. It was a 15 hour passage, with five of us on a Westerly Fulmar 32 II, but we sailed for only the first two hours. It was almost entirely calm for the rest of the long motor.
On Tuesday, we took the day off and explored Cherbourg. I used my ancient college French on various adventures.
On Wednesday, we had wind and sailed to Saint-Vaast la Hougue. There were two semaphore towers there to explore.
On Thursday, we sailed past the D-Day invasion beaches to Ouistreham. I walked through the town and visited a captured German bunker that was converted to a museum.
On Friday, we sailed to Honfleur, which was the most picaresque town we visited. We walked the town, bought wine and gifts, and enjoyed Saturday market.
On Saturday, we left Honfleur at noon to do an overnight passage across the English Channel. There was 18-20 knots of wind, so we sailed all night, but the sea conditions were rough with 8-10 swells and waves. The boat was bashed a bit, and we hobby-horsed from 6 knots to 2.5 more than once.
On Sunday morning, after a 18 hour passage, we were back in the Solent and returned to the Hamble River.
It was a great trip, and I learned a lot. It was my first time doing longer passages, and visiting France, so it was a great learning experience. The channel wasn't difficult to navigate, and it was fairly easy to avoid the shipping traffic. Next time we go, it will be on our own boat.

Boy Meets Girl
I destroyed every page of my college journals. There were eight journals in all, two for each year, every empty space within swallowed up by my perfect Catholic school script: a chronicle of my life as a coed. I wasn't getting rid of evidence exactly (although there was much to incriminate me), but I was starting over, and this was proof I wasn't that person anymore. I can't remember if I burned all the pages or simply tore them to shreds to prevent their being pieced back together (should the garbageman be tempted) and threw them away. In either case, they were disposed of.
I have a friend whose husband demanded she destroy a photo of Elvis kissing her during one of his Vegas performances, taken before she'd even met her husband. He wanted proof she wasn't that person anymore. She promised she would, then mailed it off to a friend for safekeeping. I wish I had done the same with my journals, but I was young and convinced that rashness was the quickest path to righteousness.
My high school English teacher was young and alive, so he lacked the gravitas that comes with being old and dead.
It was an act of obedience in my mind, a declaration of allegiance, like Abraham laying Isaac on the altar. Except no one had bothered to stop my sacrifice. No substitution was made for my lost darlings, those early glimpses into college life: how I felt reading Milton at the picnic table outside my dorm, what it was like to pore over Freud in the undergrad library. Lost, too, were accounts of the long-distance phone conversations between me and my high school English teacher, who was lamenting my absence as newspaper editor. My high school English teacher was of course young and alive, so he lacked the gravitas that comes with being old and dead; but his impact was equally noted alongside Milton's and Freud's, scratched into the pages of my journals. Not a word of our phone conversations survived, although his many letters did. I don't know why those didn't get expunged or extinguished along with the rest; some were more inappropriate than my college misdeeds. Still, they had been preserved through moves from dorm room to apartment, during the transition from college to grad school, kept safe during trips overseas, when all my worldly possessions were either locked away in my parents' basement or stored in a friend's garage. Childhood photos had been destroyed when the basement flooded but his letters escaped both water and fire (if it turns out I did burn the journals). Ten years after the first letter was sent, they found a permanent home in my closet.
Sometimes he would write as if he were a character from a book or a play I was assigned to read; other times he would include snippets from the novel he was writing. (He often complained that writing to me cut into his novel-writing time.) His long letters shifted between tender affection and brutal honesty, and in one full of the latter he called me emotionally shallow for participating in the bacchanalia of college life (his vices were more sophisticated). Worse, he said that though he had carefully nurtured my writing throughout high school, he didn't see me writing the great American novel. "You don't have the patience for it," he wrote.
I was eighteen; he was thirty.
I was playing at life, he was living it, squeezing out what he could, sometimes enduring it. He had always known he would die young, most likely by his own hand, but in the end his death was out of his control. "I will shout 'yippee!' on my deathbed," he insisted years before, but I don't think he did, because the choice had been taken from him. His brooding poet wasn't for show. There was a reason for his unhappiness.
Would I mourn him? He wasn't near death when he asked, just curious. The question came in the form of a hypothetical ("if I were pushed off a cliff") in one of his early letters. He guessed I wouldn't, because of my emotional shallowness. He was wrong. I do mourn him. He was wrong about something else. I do have the patience.
Not only because I waited for our story to end before committing it to paper, but because I've lived long enough to figure out that no part of my life should be ripped to shreds or set on fire. Or hidden away in a closet.
What Connected Us
It was not love at first sight.
We met when I was fifteen, my first year in a public high school, where I struggled to find my sense of being and style after having been cloistered and uniformed most of my life. I didn't make wise choices in that brave new world: I couldn't yet help the thick lenses poking through the wire rims of my glasses, but it was free will that prompted the canary yellow jumper and the mass of natural curls cut into a perfectly symmetrical circle atop my head. That's what he noticed, those were his first words to me, that I reminded him of an iridescent Jesus in Godspell. Contact lenses, blow dryers, and less festive clothing eventually cured my ills; and a few years later he would say my prettiness had made me callous.
He was tall, sandy blond, wore pointy-toed boots. He struggled with style, too, though intentionally, refusing to cede the middle part in his hair, hanging on to his hip-waisted corduroys as an act of protest (when no one protested anymore). A child of the sixties stuck in the sixties, living in the seventies. Meet Jesus from Godspell.
There was more, of course, to our relationship in those early days, more to our commiseration (we were both keeping secrets), more to our chemistry (we both wanted to know what it was like to be in love). We dreamed of becoming writers, talked about writing books together. I had been the poet-in-residence at my little parochial school; he put in his eight hours of teaching each day for a coveted few at the typewriter at night, tapping out the great American novel.
What connected us, from the very beginning, were words.
That was it, really: what connected us, from the very beginning, were words. I'd known I wanted to be a writer since second grade, since a very specific afternoon in second grade. My teacher then was a woman, young, pretty, and childless. The school couldn't afford individual textbooks, so the whole of our education was dispensed by oral tradition (that is, Mrs. Hill read to us from the sole textbook she held in her hands). There was something soothing and womblike about those hot afternoons (no money for air-conditioning, either), when Mrs. Hill would turn off the fluorescent lights above, direct us to lay our heads on our desks, and read to us. It was fortuitous that my ears and not my eyes were the main vehicles of learning back then, especially when it came time for our first poetry lesson. I don't even remember what poem she read to us in that darkened classroom, only that the words were altogether different from those that taught us about dinosaurs or subtraction or catechism. I raised my head from my desk to better catch the words as they dipped and rose, hesitated with Mrs. Hill's breath, and then began to rise and fall again. I knew nothing about rhythm, meter, or flow, only that these words traveled in waves, making their way around the classroom like a troubadour whose instrument played loudest at my desk.
I couldn't wait to get off the bus that afternoon so that I could start writing. Nothing else mattered but getting alone with pencil and paper. It didn't have to make sense as long as it rhymed, so my first attempts at poetry were hideous concoctions, like Frankenstein's monster with badly matched limbs.
The muse must favor that age with both desire and misdirection. The unnamed narrator in Zorba the Greek relates a similar experience from his own childhood, when he reads a book in school about a boy who falls into a well, only to discover a magical world below. The story itself was not meant to be instructive or inspiring; it was simply a vehicle to teach him the second half of the alphabet. But as he spelled out each word, he longed to follow in the footsteps of the boy in the story, to enter the same magic city. The words, like the troubadour at my desk, caught hold of him, transported him, prompted him to action.
I created Frankenstein monsters; he went home and poised himself at the family well. He was sure he could make out the edges of the honey-filled lake described in the story, and his body reached toward it. An ever-seeing mother caught him by the belt at the moment of descent, sparing or denying him.
I can only gather up his words like rainwater in a cistern and fall in.
Perhaps I felt the tug of some external restraint—not as a child, but later in high school, after we first met—pulling me away from the story, from the world my teacher would create for us to live in. It doesn't matter now that the wellspring is gone. I can only gather up his words like rainwater in a cistern and fall in.
An Unlikely Prophet
After our first semester together, my teacher handed me the following note, which I saved in a scrapbook of my high school years. I didn't destroy my high school scrapbook as I did my college journals, because the scrapbook was propaganda. It included only the good press, excising the shameful and the uncomfortable: photo evidence that I had once been fat; mention of my dad's confession that he was an alcoholic—on New Year's Eve of all times; and my parents' subsequent separation (Mom moved out once her spouse came to). Instead there were photos of me as the graduating class's malnourished valedictorian, an original handwritten copy of my commencement speech, and the newspaper clipping in which I was named "Most Likely to Succeed." (Because I was the newspaper's editor, reporters from the junior class had to put the issue together, in order not to ruin the surprise. They did a terrible job.)
For AMY Ship of Fools Kathryn Anne Porter
Even as I built the monument there was evidence of a crack, a leak in my PR. It was my teacher's note—the title of the book, he said, that most reminded him of me after our first semester together—and it linked me to fools, fools seeking an illusory salvation, fools on a voyage to eternity. "Amy has set sail on a ship of fools" is how I read it. Yesterday I discovered that Katherine Anne Porter's Ship of Fools (my teacher misspelled her first name) was the number-one book on the New York Times bestseller list the day I was born. What are the chances? What are the odds he would pick a book so significantly tied to my birth a decade and a half before? That's the way things went on from there. He was irreligious, antireligious; but in ways neither of us could understand, he connected things in my life. Past things to present things, present things to future things. An unlikely prophet who saw into my future, the seer who saw through me. It was his job to remind me I wasn't what I seemed.
Ten Years of Correspondence That Changed My Life
Letters from the Closet
Ten Years of Correspondence That Changed My Life
As the years and letters passed between John and Amy, the layers fell off as they explored and unmasked themselves and each other. "A teacher is like a book," John wrote, "wasted until he's read. The student has to do that. You've done that." While going through a period of despair, he wrote, "I hope our relationship survives your growing up and my growing down."
Every writer needs a room of his own, but for some people, at certain times and in certain circumstances, the best you can do is a closet. From the confines—and protection—of his closet, John wrote these letters, letters that were read, cherished, and then locked away for decades in Amy's closet. Now they are chronicled and shared for your enrichment.
A Different Kind of Love Story
Timely and relevant, this is a love story of the most contemporary kind. It's a rare and beautiful glimpse into an intimate, but platonic, relationship between a gay English teacher and his young female protégée—each seeking connection and acceptance.
Now the student-turned-author looks back at the decade of letters that preceded her teacher's untimely death. She collects the shards left by their clumsy, sometimes violent, attempts to unmask each other and counts the cost of knowing and being known.
Alternating between letter excerpts and a beautiful narrative from Amy, the story unfolds, making readers privy to a very personal tribute to the teacher who profoundly changed her life. As you enter their unveiled world, you'll see truth reflected in their raw insights—and you'll discover new revelations for your own life.

As tension rise between Russia and the United States over military intervention in Ukraine, Westminster College honored the descendents of the man who once famously said "beware of the Soviet Union."
Sir Winston Churchill's great-grandchildren were in attendance for National Churchill Weekend in Fulton Saturday.
They were joined by Churchill biographer Paul Reid, who gave the keynote address. While all addressed Churchill's tenacity for building consensus and his love for America, he tensions with Russia also came up.
"The West is waiting to see - what does Putin do?" Reid told reporters Saturday. "And it reminds me, in some regards, of exactly 100 years ago."
Churchill gave his famous "Iron Curtain" speech on the Westminster College campus in March 1946. His descendents praised the campus and the National Churchill Museum.
On Saturday, President Obama called his Russia counterpart Vladimir Putin and told him he was breaking international law by activating troops to be sent to Ukraine, specifically the Crimea region.
