Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need
By Joseph Hess
Children of the Black Sun is an elliptical journey, a brief, invigorating passage through one orbit of Boyd Rice's vision. It's an album riddled with clues as to Rice's intent, but, to his credit as an artist, he leaves the particulars of your voyage to your imagination.
From the opening invocation of "Arkaö" (in French, a possible homage to Jean Cocteau, to whom the album is dedicated), Children of the Black Sun creates a twilight atmosphere of tension and beauty. Delicate harp glissandos and heavenly strings start on high, then begin a descent into deeper, darker timbres. As with most Non albums, the instrumentation is unrecognizable: The music is composed of currents of sound, ebbs and tides of drone that slip over and under each other fluidly, the individual tracks seeping together seamlessly. Instead of the punishing mass for which Non is renowned, the music now is softer, yet no less powerful. "Serpent of the Abyss," the album's pivotal track, is a cavernous echo, menacing, scraped strings, an all-encompassing cthonic rumble that still allows for the distant plink of beads of water dropping into the slowly coursing black arterial flow that feeds the center of this underworld the listener inhabits. This ominous roar becomes the slap of water on a bark's hull, the crackling warmth of fire and a swirling celestial choir, which gives way to majestic processional horn peals and the closing backward declamation of "Son of the Sun."
But what does it all mean? Is this a new soundtrack for Cocteau's Orphée? A map to the final resting place of Orpheus' head? The hidden path to Rex Mundi's throne room? An alternate route to the headwaters of the Alpheus? An occult code that when broken reveals the illuminating rays of the invisible Black Sun? What are you looking for? What will you find? Children of the Black Sunis merely a conveyance: It falls on you to make the journey.

Republicans FORCE OBAMA TO Back Off On Deliberately Slowing Down Air Travel
You've heard the talking heads go on and on about the sequester, but all it really does is force the government to make a very slight decrease in its rate of growth. In other words, even under the sequester, we're going to be spending a lot more this year than we did last year and so on and so on until the country goes broke and we all end up eating stone soup and telling our kids stories about the good old days before Obama got into office.
Yet and still, even these tiny, insignificant cuts were too much for Obama to take, so instead of cutting the endless amount of waste in government, he's been playing games with the American people. He's cut off White House tours, Blue Angel Shows have been cancelled and in Obama's most despicable move yet, he decided to deliberately create travel delays across the country.
In an attempt to pressure the American people into demanding a reversal of the insignificant sequester cuts, the FAA started furloughing its air traffic controllers for one day out of every 10 days. Naturally, that produced long delays for air travelers who weren't happy about it and weren't shy about letting Congress know that.
Additionally for once, Republicans didn't back off either. They noted that this is a stunt and that one of the last places the FAA should be cutting its budget is air traffic controllers.
Well, the polling on this issue must have been terrible for the Democrats because they've buckled at the knees.
A bill that would end the Federal Aviation Administration's furlough on air traffic controllers is now on its way to President Obama to sign.
On Friday, the House passed the measure 361-41.
On Thursday night, the Senate passed the legislation after most lawmakers had left the Capitol for a weeklong vacation.
This is what happens when the Republican Party stands together and fights to do the right thing for the American people instead of fragmenting, attacking its base, or pandering to the media. Also, more importantly, it proves something everyone who's paying attention knew already: Obama's intentionally painful sequester cuts are nothing but a scam.

Channel 5 may buy US shows from Sky
Thursday 04 July 1996
The talks, which are still at an early stage, could see the two broadcasters bid jointly for US shows before the launch of Channel 5 in January 1997.
Channel 5 also wants to bid for the rights to popular action programmes, such as Highlander, to which BSkyB has both terrestrial and satellite rights. Some of Sky's terrestrial rights were bought in advance of the auction for Channel 5, for which BSkyB was a leading contender.
The new channel, owned by Pearson, United News & Media and CLT, the Luxembourg- based broadcaster, is currently commissioning and acquiring programmes for its first year of operation. With a budget of pounds 110m, next to pounds 600m at ITV, the new channel will concentrate on daytime television, where it is expected to rely on traditional daytime fare, along with US and other imported series.
Sky, which broadcasts popular US shows such as Melrose Place and The Simpsons, has developed into a "proving ground" for US TV series, according to David Elstein, Sky's head of programmes.
"The ITV companies and the BBC have both understood that if programmes are successful in 25 per cent of UK homes, then they should be popular in the other 75 per cent" - those without cable or satellite.
Two popular programmes pioneered in the UK by Sky, The Simpsons and The X-Files, are now being broadcast on the BBC. Mr Elstein said the advantages work both ways.

Funnily enough TPB is still fully operational
I just started downloading an old b&w scifi movie off TPB this morning (which you cannot buy on DVD because not enough people are interested in it), I noticed (but did not download) that the preactivated non virus filled Windows 7 AIO is still available on TPB.
It kind'a makes me laugh, the original Mafia (an outright illegal organisation) seemed to have more power than the ever so legal copyright mafia do today.
No points to make really, just a couple of obvservations.
Yeah, because the mafia worked on short action chains, broad executive level authority and low paperwork overheads.
Courts want to stop something, it's paperwork, cases, whingeing from brussels.
Mafia want to stop something, it's stopped, and they poured all that concrete for the new flyover too, aren't they just swell guys(!)
Similarly if the police want to confiscate your neighbours stereo for noise pollution it takes paperwork. If chavs want to confiscate your stereo it's just gone.
Anonymous because I don't want anyone to think I'm comparing chavs to honourable honourable organised criminals, just illustrate that public accountability is a double edged sword.

Another poll shows McKenna leading governor's race
The second poll in a week shows Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) with an ample lead over Congressman Jay Inslee (D) in the governor's race.
The Survey USA poll for KING-TV shows McKenna up 10 points on Inslee, 49-39%. That follows an Elway poll that had McKenna up 45-36.
Both statewide polls show McKenna leading among independent voters and even pulling away a small-but-significant chunk of Democrats.
The Survey USA poll of 572 registered voters was conducted Feb. 13 to Feb. 15 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percent.

Skyrim patch does purport to increase the game's performance with certain configurations. Bethesda forum user Arisu has created the Skyrim Acceleration Layer which, in his own words, "works mostly by rewriting some x87 FPU code and inlining a whole ton of useless getter functions along the critical paths because the developers at Bethesda, for some reason, compiled the game without using any of the optimization flags for release builds." You get all that?
We're unable to test the mod ourselves, though forum users are reporting frame rate increases in more graphically intense areas (Markarth, in particular). Meanwhile, Rock, Paper, Shotgun seems to have noticed at least a slight improvement. The mod requires the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE), which you can find here. Head over to the Bethesda forums for detailed installation instructions.

Boks, Bafana to honour Madiba
- 02 Jul 2013
- Follow Gareth
- More by Gareth
The Springboks and Bafana Bafana will play a double-header on 17 August at Soccer City in Johannesburg to honour Nelson Mandela.
Saru president Oregan Hoskins told SARugbymag.co.za that an official announcement would be made in Sandton on Thursday by the Department of Sport and Recreation, Safa and the rugby union. According to media reports, the government has already confirmed the event.
The Springboks will tackle Argentina in a Rugby Championship Test and Bafana Bafana will face Burkina Faso in a friendly fixture, both dedicated to Madiba, who is in a critical condition in hospital.
The move will see Bloemfontein lose its only Test scheduled for 2013, but the Free State Rugby Union will be compensated financially by the government.

You're Bad for Business, Kid
by Mike Stanz
posted Jul 25 2014 5:00AM
A four-year-old in Connecticut has been banned from the Doughnut Inn for being rude.
Here's the story. The kid asked a larger woman if she was pregnant. Innocently. He actually asked if she had a baby in her belly. He's four years old.
The kid's mom was mortified, but the woman he asked was cool, and all was well.
Except that it happened in a doughnut shop, and someone who works there was offended. So the next day, when the mom and the four-year-old returned to the shop, the ban was issued for the young man's rudeness.
The mom's angry, but try to see it from the doughnut shop's side. If a kid is telling customers that they look pregnant and they're not, then the customers are going to think twice about buying that doughnut or muffin or whatever, and go to the salad bar down the street.
From a business perspective, this kid had to go!

Facts about...Buying Disability Insurance
The host of Lets Chat Radio has been a licensed insurance benefits counselor for 6 years working in the life and health insurance markets and today will discuss disablilty insurance. Get your pencil and paper ready !
Nearly one-third of U.S. workers will become disabled at some point in their career before reaching retirement, according to a 2009 estimate from the Social Security Administration. Yet the federal agency says that 70% of employees aren't covered by private long-term disability insurance. Social Security disability benefits are available for certain disabled workers, but the average payout is only 40% of a person's income and the allowance rate for initial claims can be as low as 30% in some areas of the U.S.
Individual disability insurance is truly a basic concept. It is an insurance product designed to replace anywhere from 45-60% of your gross income on a tax-free basis should a sickness or illness prevent you from earning an income in your occupation. Your most important asset is your ability to bring home a paycheck, DI makes sure that regardless of any adverse changes to your health, you are able to provide for yourself and your family. Every disability insurance policy from every insurance company is very different, this is not a product to simply shop for the most competitive rate. To buy the cheapest disability insurance policy on the market is to throw money away. The odds of getting paid a monthly benefit under a cheap contract may be significantly lower than receiving benefits from a quality contract. The goal of this show is to provide you with information to make an educated decision on your own. I will provide you with information regarding the major features of a disability insurance policy so that you may better understand how to read a disability insurance policy.

Jackie Wong hopes to learn a new throwing technique to improve his performance this year.
KUALA LUMPUR: Seeking fortune from the Year of the Horse, athletes of Chinese descent are hoping for a strong and robust year ahead.
National wushu exponent Diana Bong hopes the year will boost her performance when she goes to the Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, in September.
"If possible, I don't want to repeat the mistakes I made at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, which deprived me of a medal. I dare not set a high target but I will give my best," she said on the eve of Chinese New Year.
Asked about her New Year celebrations, the Kuching-born 28-year-old said it would be a moderate affair.
"I did not buy new clothes this year as last year's clothes are still good. What is more important is to be with my family," she said.
The bronze medallist at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha said she would continue with her training after the New Year holidays.
Echoing her sentiments, hammer thrower Jackie Wong hopes the Year of the Horse will boost his spirit to qualify for the Commonwealth Games in July.
The SEA Games bronze medallist said this is the year to learn a new throwing technique to improve his performance.
"I have learned several new throwing techniques and I hope I can master them before taking part in the Hong Kong Open Athletics Championship or the Taiwan Open in the middle of the year," said Jackie who has returned to his village in Sarikei, Sarawak, to celebrate Chinese New Year. – Bernama

Artists have always been great walkers of cities. Early in his career, when painter Robert Rauschenberg was stuck, he would just step out the front door of his studio on New York's Lower East Side and wander his neighbourhood in widening circles, scanning sidewalks and alleys and trash cans, dropping in on junk shops, until he found something that inspired him.
The great French street photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson spent much of his long career wandering the boulevards and side streets of Paris in search of the perfect moment: pigeons bursting into flight, lovers furtively kissing in a doorway at dawn.
Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky, a San Francisco and Vancouver-based artist duo, are consummate travellers, walkers and scavengers, but with a distinctively 21st-century technological savvy and a witty, ironic sense of humour. Their new exhibition, "What Leaf? What Mushroom?" is on view at the Pari Nadimi Gallery through Oct. 27.
For the series of eight photographs included in the exhibit, Weppler and Mahovsky took walks in cities around the world, purchasing and scavenging objects as they went. Afterwards, they arranged the objects in a circle on the floor of their hotel room and took up to 60 photos of them from overhead, which were then digitally condensed into a single image.
In Hong Kong—Sheung Wang (Wellington St., Graham St., Hollywood Rd., Aberdeen St.), November 18, 2011 (ver 2)(2012), for instance, there are bits of dry dog food, a scatter of playing cards, a pack of Chinese cigarettes, and a little doll, all of it arranged on carpet with bright white and blue swirls embroidered into it. Lahaina — Downtown (Honoapi'ilani Highway, Dickenson St., Front St., Papalaua St.), June 16, 2012 (ver 2) (2012) has a handful of roadside dirt, pieces of hard candy with their wrappers still on, a bottle of bronzing lotion, bus tickets, and coins, all of it set in a wreath on dull beige carpet with harsh, white light raking across it from a low window. And in New York—Times Square (49th St., 6th Ave., 44th St., 7th Ave.), September 10, 2011 (ver 2) (2012), there is a fragment of a burrito, a purse, and a stuffed blue snake, the lighting dark and the carpet plush and dense with geometrical designs.
Weppler and Mahovsky's photographs are twists on both the tradition of the still life and the kind of spontaneous street photography practiced by figures like Cartier Bresson: whether in the Dutch golden age of French impressionism, still lifes are always artificial arrangements of disparate things, and Weppler and Mahovsky's images are doubly assembled, first from the objects they collect and then again from the multiple images from which their pictures were made; and instead of capturing poetic moments as they walk through the city in the manner of Cartier-Bresson, they bring quirky souvenirs of those moments back to their hotel room and photograph them. While it is entertaining to look at the things they found on their walks through Sydney or Tokyo, Winnipeg or San Francisco, Weppler and Mahovsky's digitally manipulated photographs are emotionally remote and hardly evoke the experience of wandering footloose through the world's cities.
By contrast, their painted sculptures of beer bottles and newspapers and crumpled wrappers are gritty, garish, and whimsical. In Tsingtao, Do Equis and Shen Yun (2012), for instance, bright green beer bottles, fashioned from gypsum, lumpy and cartoonish, stick out every-which-way from a canary yellow aluminum net. And again in Kirin, Budweiser and Phelps (2012) beer bottles are crammed into a metal net along with a newspaper, the whole thing looking as though it might spill out onto the gallery floor at any moment.
"What Leaf? What Mushroom?"is of course a commercial gallery exhibit whose principal aim is to present work that can actually be sold, but Weppler and Mahovsky's larger installations are in many ways stronger. For what turned out to be one of the highlights of this year's Nuit Blanche, they created a 300 square foot translucent homage to the old fashioned convenience store, All Night Convenience (2012). Set on shelving inside what was in effect an enormous lantern were 2,000 smaller lanterns made to mimic the kinds of products convenience stores carry, like tooth paste and canned food, turning the whole structure into a blurry, glowing patchwork of colors. Visitors could take home the smaller lanterns, so that, as the night waned, All Night Convenience slowly dimmed. And in The Searchers (2012), titled after John Ford's classic western, which has been on view at the Art Gallery of Hamilton since the end of August, they set realistic sculptures of urban street kids loitering atop a high ledge, glowering at the museum goers passing beneath. Weppler and Mahovsky's work is often about the nature, and detritus, of contemporary consumer culture; in The Searchers one finds bored, alienated future consumers who, one hopes, are in the process of realizing that their brand tennis shoes and hoodies and baseball caps are, in the end, not nearly enough.

Inside the mind of Tony Blair
Fear seemed to be at the heart of many of the former PM's decisions, his new memoir reveals
Sunday 05 September 2010
Tony Blair's 'A Journey' is a revelatory book in many ways, offering a glimpse into the mind of a political leader during tumultuous times. Of course, it is a document designed for history, which, Blair hopes, will provide some personal context to much of the political decision-making during his time in office. But it is much more than that; it is sufficiently candid and detailed to give us some insight into the man's underlying psychology, and sometimes it is the smallest detail that can be the most interesting.
One of the principal drivers behind Tony Blair, the man and the politician, seems to be fear. It is without doubt the emotion mentioned most often in the book. Thus, Blair writes, "I didn't want to fight Gordon in a leadership contest. There was a rational explanation to this: such a fight required us to differentiate, and inevitably he would pitch to the left of me... If I am honest, there was another reason I did not want a head-to-head contest: I was scared of the unpleasantness, the possible brutality of it, the sadness, actually, of two friends becoming foes." Or, "PMQs was the most nerve-racking, discombobulating, nail-biting, bowel-moving, terror-inspiring, courage-draining experience in my prime ministerial life, without question." Or, in describing how he felt after John Smith's death: "I kept a strong grip on myself, but the anxiety showed... I would wake in the morning with the hair on the back of my head damp with sweat. What I could control when awake was overpowering in sleep." And even at the very start of the book, "On 2 May 1997, I walked into Downing Street as prime minister for the first time. I had never held office... my predominant feeling was fear."
A lot of the book is directly or indirectly about how Blair deals with his fears, how fear drove him to make certain decisions rather than others, and how he learned to mask his fear. In the case of PMQs, he says that people always commented that he looked very relaxed, but in reality, he says, "I never relaxed for a moment".
Blair became a master at masking his true emotional state, hiding his terror with that masking smile. Psychologists have spent many years distinguishing genuine smiles from masking smiles. Masking smiles are asymmetric on the face and fade abruptly as they leave the face, exposing the real emotion underneath. Gordon Brown often tried to cover his negative emotion with a masking smile, but every time the smile fell off his face you could read his true emotions of impatience and irritation clearly. Blair's great art was masking his fear and terror with a smile that seemed all too genuine.
But his mastery of body language does not stop there. He comments that he and Princess Diana "were both, in our ways, manipulative people, perceiving quickly the emotions of others and able instinctively to play with them". Throughout the book, he describes how he uses his understanding of body language to his advantage. He writes, "A great belief of mine is that when you are negotiating with someone, the first thing is to set the atmosphere at ease; signify a little glimmer of human feeling; exchange a few pleasantries; and above all start by saying something utterly uncontroversial with which disagreement is impossible. Get the other person's head nodding. It's that nod which establishes rapport, and which is an early, tiny sign that all is not lost. I might say: 'I know you feel strongly about this.' Well, of course they do; that's why there's a dispute; and there would be a nod."
This is quite clever psychology, because it actually does work and Blair has it to a T, except, it turns out, when he tried it on Breandan MacCionnaith, the leader of the Garvaghy Road Residents' Association, briefly famous during the stand-off at Drumcree. In Blair's description, MacCionnaith was "completely and totally nodless". "If I said to him, 'I know you feel strongly about this,' he would say, 'I don't feel more strongly about this than anything else'." Blair had met his match; his body-language ploys were being thrown back in his face.
Dealing with fear, masking it and its emergence as a principal driver, is one of the dominant psychological themes of the book. Because Blair has high emotional intelligence and a perceptive eye for his own non-verbal performances (it is almost as if he is his own audience much of the time, standing back and admiring his own polished performance in the way that some narcissists do), he can master the use of non-verbal signals in negotiation. Equally, it makes him strongly critical of people who lack such skills, like Gordon Brown, whom he describes as having "no instinct at the human, gut level" and "emotional intelligence, zero".
There is something else I find very telling in the book: Blair's memories of childhood. I was particularly struck by his description of an event that happened in the playground when he was about 10 years old. He says that it was in this very situation that he first learned about courage and fear. He says that he can recall "the exact moment" when he got into a fight with a bully outside the gates of the Chorister School, Durham. This event would seem to be what psychologists call "a flashbulb memory". A flashbulb memory is a vivid and detailed memory that does not fade with time, unlike all other memories. It is full of clear images etched for all time on to the brain. These are hardwired memories, designed for human survival and shaped by evolution. These are the kinds of enduring and stable memories that you might have if you had ever been in a near-fatal car accident or escaped a bomb blast in Afghanistan, for example. Blair has a flashbulb memory from childhood. He remembers all of the events, exactly where it took place and what was said in great detail. He writes: "Silly, isn't it, to recall that tiny moment of character development after all these years."
Flashbulb memories are triggered by two of the most primitive parts of the human brain, the reticular formation, which responds to surprise, and the amygdala, which responds to strong emotionality. The extraordinary thing about Tony Blair's flashbulb memory is that nothing much actually happened. So when the bully came upon the young Blair unexpectedly, "I turned on him and told him I would hit him if he didn't stop. He could tell I meant it, because I did and my eyes would have shown it – so he stopped." So in this flashbulb memory all that really happened was that the bully was stopped dead in his tracks. Nobody got badly beaten; no one was kicked and stamped upon; few punches, if any, were thrown. Blair's understanding of the situation is that it taught him something about courage, but from a psychology point of view it tells you more about the intense fear that the young Blair must have felt at that moment, plus the fact that he was surprised at his own actions in standing up to the bully. He didn't have to fight back physically, but he found a way of dealing with his own fear.
The point about flashbulb memories, of course, is that, because of the way they have been encoded by the brain, they stay vivid for ever. And it just so happens that, because they are so accessible, we rate vivid memories, and events that are easy to visualise, as more common than events that are hard to visualise. As a consequence of this, perhaps threat generally was perceived as more prevalent in Tony Blair's subsequent life – in the same way that those who have survived bad car crashes, and have the resulting flashbulb memory, view the roads as more dangerous places than those who have not had the same experiences. Perhaps, his firm response (that look), directly encoded in the brain, was from then on set as the natural associative response to any threat.
It would be fascinating to know if this bit of "character development" had not happened, and if this flashbulb memory had not been laid down, how Tony Blair would have dealt with all the other threats and bullies (he perceived) in the world along the way, and whether the world today would be a much more dangerous or a much safer place, as a consequence.

Opinions: 'A Journey' – The verdicts
"One of the most surprising aspects was the revelation that Blair was so wounded when Sir John Chilcot [during the inquiry into the Iraq war] asked him if he had any expression of regret – he said he did not. It seems that it's been eating away at him. That section of his book reveals a man of no real confidence, gnawed away by his own insecurities."
Professor Philippe Sands, human rights lawyer and author
"He's twisting in the wind of his own actions. He can never say he made a mistake [over Iraq] because the loss of life was so extreme. My experience with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa showed me that very few who carried out killings were able to accept what they'd done, because to understand what you've done is to live with it, and it's such a burden."
Gillian Slovo, novelist and daughter of Joe Slovo, leader of the South African Communist Party during apartheid
"It strikes me that a man who took us to war to get rid of a leader he didn't like was prepared to leave this country in the hands of a man he didn't think should be its leader."
Sue Smith, mother of Private Phillip Hewett who died in Iraq
"This stuff about Gordon Brown losing the election – what rubbish. The reason Labour lost is because everyone was so disgusted by Iraq. He seems totally uncontrite."
Katharine Hamnett, fashion designer
"He's honest about the unseemly way he went about attempting to take over from John Smith. At the time it almost seemed like a coup in the Labour Party, and that's what it was."
Jeremy Hardy, comedian
"I was shocked that he regrets bringing in the Freedom of Information Act, one of the few progressive measures for which he deserves to be praised."
George Monbiot, environmentalist and founder of the Arrest Blair campaign
"What he said about the Queen has such unpleasant connotations. If he learnt things about her through one-to-ones, then he should have kept that to himself. It is sacrosanct and absolutely confidential."
Dr Richard Taylor, former Independent MP
"I'm surprised he's so warm about [former American president George] Bush. Blair naively went in with America. He slipped into the pocket of Bush, which is astonishing considering they're from two different political platforms."
Lord Ramsbotham, retired general and former chief inspector of prisons
"He couldn't just rerun Hansard for his autobiography; he had to spice it up, and admitting he had a few glasses of wine at the end of the day does that."
Ann Cryer, former Labour MP
"I was most surprised about the revelations about drink. He speaks with a particular honesty on that and really little else."
Anthony Seldon, Tony Blair's biographer and master of Wellington College
"He's sorry for the loss of life caused by the war in Iraq, but he's not sorry for starting the war that led to the loss of life."
Graham Knight, father of Ben Knight who died in Afghanistan in 2006
"The most surprising thing is that it is already being remaindered for half price at WH Smith in Paddington Station. It confirms that Blair was more show than substance."
Christopher Monckton, deputy leader, Ukip
"I think it's about the self-justification of a highly disturbed individual who alters the world to fit his world-view."
Alexei Sayle, comedian and author
"Why's he talking about private matters? He's obviously got a very unhappy sex life if he has to bring back all the memories. If that's the problem, he has the money to get some therapy, but please don't tell us about it."
Tessa Sanderson, former Olympic athlete
"I don't think he will surprise anyone; what he will be remembered for is the war and it's something that he can't escape from."
Tony Benn, former Labour cabinet minister

Pastor Jon Dunbar: "Learning Patience in our Faith" - Sermon Videos
Embed stpaulutica 145 views 2014-06-26T14:21:10 Reading through the lessons reminds me of the song "O Little Town of Bethlehem" in which we sing, "The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight." That's a good way to describe our readings; they are a mixed bag of hopes and fears. Isaiah gives us a hopeful scene of miracle healings and joyful singing when Messiah comes. But then Matthew tells us of John the Baptist sitting in a dark and dungy prison cell and expressing doubt and perhaps even disappointment with Jesus. I suspect John thought life would go a little more smoothly for him once the Messiah came. Will this Christmas season be all that you expect it to be? Snow-covered roads, illness, and family squabbles are just a few of the possible disappointments you may face in coming weeks. But these don't have to threaten your joy at Christmas. Rather than pin all your hopes on a glitch-free holiday season, find your rest in the Savior who sets you free from your sins and heals your soul. You have his forgiveness, his friendship and his love. And that, really, is all any of us needs to have a truly merry Christmas.
