The Roane County News had fun in the sun and got sand between its — er, folds — when it took a trip to Panama City Beach, Fla., with a group of Roane County women.
Vacationers, from left, Lesi Clough Gibson, Jill Cole, Robin Pitt, Diane Tate, Wendy Mee and Meri Bradshaw Kidd took a break from the rays and waves to pose for us.

Summer months are difficult for several businesses — and the same is true for Medic Regional Blood Center, the community blood provider.
The organization struggles to reach the daily quota of donors necessary to adequately supply hospitals, said Christi Fightmaster of Medic public relations.
"Families are busier than usual with kids out of school and planning vacations," she said. "However, there's more activities in our area which, unfortunately, can lead to accidents where blood is needed."
The Tennessee Arts Commission has awarded an Arts Build Communities grant to the Roane Choral Society.
The $3,300 grant is made possible through an appropriation of state funds by the Tennessee General Assembly, federal dollars from the National Endowment for the Arts, and by Tennesseans who buy specialty license plates.
"This is a very fine performing-arts group," said state Sen. Ken Yager. R-Kingston.
"I am very pleased this grant has been awarded for this purpose."
At the time of the Declaration of Independence of this country, John Adams and several of his associates called for fireworks to express their jubilation ― and we have used them in this way ever since.
July is a celebration month. There is Independence Day on July 4 as the birthday of our nation as an independent democracy. In France, the commemoration of the taking of the Bastille on July 14 is observed as a turning point in the 18th-century French Revolution. And we celebrate summer vacations and our gardens.

Babahatchie Community Band will close out the holiday weekend with a free concert at 7 p.m. July 6 at David Webb Riverfront Park, Harriman.
The national anthem will be followed by "The Liberty Bell March" by John Philip Sousa.
"This fun march was written for Sousa's unfinished operetta, 'The Devil's Deputy,'" said Alison Westrich of Babahatchie Community Band. "It wasn't originally named 'The Liberty Bell,' but his wife and band manager suggested the title, and it stuck."
Roane State Community College will offer two new programs beginning in fall 2014: An associate of applied science in medical informatics and an associate of applied science in financial services.
The Tennessee Board of Regents approved the programs at its June meeting.
The two-year medical informatics program combines information technology and health care. As health care providers increasingly use complex computerized records, they need qualified employees with computer skills and expertise in digital health care record-keeping.
Special to the News
Frank Kolski was scared.
Very scared.
After his heart attack in May 2013, the mere thought of exercising was frightening to the 66-year-old Kingston man.
So when Dr. Nicholaos Xenopoulos, the cardiothoracic surgeon who placed two heart stents in his blocked arteries, ordered 36 one-hour sessions of cardiac rehabilitation at Roane Medical Center, Kolski was worried.
Calling all lightning bug collectors: Scientists are calling for help.
And the price is going up. This year, the price for fireflies has jumped to the all-time high of 50 cents per gram or $14.20 per ounce for a fresh supply of insects. This is approximately $2 per 100 average size bugs. (Approximately, because the insects are purchased by weight, not by count.)
Oliver Springs Police Department recently partnered with the Tennessee Highway Patrol in an effort to reduce traffic fatalities on Tennessee Roadways.
THP started its "Drive to Zero" campaign in April. The goal of the campaign is to reduce traffic fatalities by 15 percent in 2014.
The campaign addresses hazardous moving violations, distracted drivers, seat belt usage and driving under the influence.

The gospel in Kent
Word reaches me that those interested in the progress of the gospel in Kent can join likeminded brothers and sisters to pray about the planting of a new church in Maidstone. Join others this Thursday at 7:30pm at Union Chapel in Bethersden for the next Maidstone prayer meeting.
Gill's definition of a Christian's faith
In a passing comment on Ephesians 1.15, John Gill speaks this way:
And the grace of faith, which terminates on him, is a seeing him, a beholding the glory of his person, and the fulness of his grace; a going to him, and venturing on him; a laying hold upon him, and embracing of him; a committing all unto him, and a leaning and depending on him, and a living upon him, and a walking on in him.
What a delightful way to describe the full-orbed nature of the faith that saves in looking to Christ Jesus!
On pastoral (dis)qualification and other things
This is not about Mark Driscoll, though it is prompted by a few notes being sounded (not by him, as far as I am aware) with regard to his resignation letter, and the circumstances surrounding it.
First, pastoral qualification is never merely a matter of apparent giftedness and effectiveness. It has at its root a question of character. I thankfully acknowledge that, mercifully, and to the best of our knowledge, Mark has not been guilty of "immorality, illegality and heresy." Nevertheless, I protest that this is not the issue in the matter of pastoral qualification and disqualification. The presence of scandalous and often public sin would certainly disqualify any man from ministry at that point in time and very possibly perpetually. Its mere absence, though, is not the same as being qualified for ministry. There are a set of very specific and detailed qualifications that are necessary – not optional – for any man who would be an under-shepherd of any flock of God. For the sake of completeness, here they are, with some emphasised elements, some relating to present and some to past issues:
This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behaviour, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (1Tim 3:1–7)
For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you—if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination. For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict. (Ti 1:5–9)
Many moons ago, I addressed some of this here. Any man – however prominent, apparently gifted or seemingly effective – who falls short in these matters is disqualified from the pastorate. If these matters of character remain as unresolved patterns of behaviour in any man seeking to shepherd the flock of God, then he cannot – for the sake of the church, he must not! – be permitted to take that office.
A second matter has to do with the matter of apologies and forgiveness. We are often told that some man has apologised for something. He was sorry he did it. Fine, and so might we all be. But an apology is not the same as repentance. The gracious dynamic that truly resolves sin and its offence is not the mere passage of time, nor the issuing of a more-or-less public apology (see here for more on this). It is the expression of sincere repentance, with its appropriate fruits, with forgiveness extended in principle and practice, leading – we trust – to genuine reconciliation and appropriate restoration. Quite apart from anything else, I can be sorry for a sin that I may or intend to go on committing. Repentance involves a God-dependent determination and whole-souled commitment to keep from sinning in that way again. So applause for apology is a different thing to forgiving the repentant, and we should not confuse the two, either in their intention or effect.
Finally, let there be no gloating: "let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall" (1Cor 10:12). You may believe you saw this coming. You may have mourned over the painful trajectory that developed, and perhaps the failure of those who publicly applauded phases of Mark's career publicly to address the change in tack. You may have your suspicions and fears about what comes next. But to revel in the sin of another is a demonic thing. To rejoice in a man's public downfall is to join Satan's company. When you see another man, any man, sinning and stumbling, remember that – but for the grace of God – that is you, and pray with tears that it might never be.
Bring the books!
I did not think to mention this earlier, but for those in and around Sussex (and anyone else who can get there) there is a Sussex Conference this coming Saturday, hosted by Hailsham Baptist Church, and the topic is "Bring the books!"
I have been asked to preach and teach three times on that topic and am very much looking forward to it. The conference begins at 10.30am, and the cost is negligible. It's a little late in the day, but I am sure that they will be delighted to welcome all comers, though grateful for advance notice if you are able to give it. All the details are on the brochure here.
Westminster Conference 2014: "Authentic Calvinism?"
Papers are as follows:
- Holy worldliness? by Stephen Clark
- Thomas Charles of Bala by Adrian Brake
- The International Phenomenon of Calvinistic Methodism by Andrew Davies
- Law and Grace by Mark Jones
- Richard Baxter and his Legacy by Robert Strivens
- John Knox: An International Christian by Andy Young
Heading north
Entirely unconnected with the Scottish referendum, I am heading north for a few days next week. The saints at Cumnock Baptist Church are having a Bible rally, and I have been asked if I will preach each evening from Monday 22 through Friday 26 September. The meetings begin each night at 7.30pm and all are welcome. My theme for the week, God willing, will be "The Redeemer."
If you are able to drop by, please say hello.
Sore Spurgeonic eyes and feet
Over the last week or so, I have put aside a few days to work with my friend Stephen McCaskell, who has been directing the biographical film of the life and ministry of Charles Spurgeon, Through the Eyes of Spurgeon. With Stephen have been the outstanding Matt Pennings, a quite magnificent photographer (see here and here, especially if you live in Ontario) and Director of Photography on this project, and the effervescent Brandon McCaskell, sound guy and general helper.
Stephen has been sending out updates through the film's Facebook page and on the blog. I have to say, I have been impressed with the technical skills of these gentlemen. Of course, I have no real expertise with which to judge, but the quiet efficiency and all round competence on display, together with what looks like some great final product, gives me real hope of a happy outcome to this project. I readily acknowledge that my occasional appearance as narrator could be considered to drag the whole thing down horribly, but there's not much I can now do about that.
There remains a great deal to be accomplished, but the last few days have been profitable, as I hope the following pictures suggest.

Give them credit: The industry rebounds well as interest rates are set to rise

IBISWorld publishes the largest collection of industry reports so you can see an industry's supply chain, economic drivers and key buyers and markets.
Like the rest of Australia's Finance subdivision, credit unions have been hurt by the global financial crisis and a slowing economy in 2008-09. Their mutual status, prudent lending and heavy reliance on deposits for funding have shielded the industry to some extent, but the past five years have been difficult nonetheless. As the Australian economy transitions from mining to non-mining sectors, the Reserve Bank of Australia has dropped interest rates to historic lows. This decimated the revenue generated from lending portfolios. Even more detrimental was the effect of credit unions leaving the industry and taking portions of revenue and asset base with them. As a result, industry revenue is forecast to decline at an annualised 8.8% over the five years through 2014-15 to reach $2.4... purchase to read more
The Credit Unions industry is in the declining stage of its life cycle with industry value added forecast to decline at annualised 2.8% over the 10 years through 2019-20. This is expected to be lower than the annualised GDP growth rate of 2.7% over the same period. Characteristic of a declining industry, credit unions have been exiting the industry over the past five years, with industry assets falling and employment declining. There has been little product innovation and the companies in the industry struggle to diversify into new markets. Further organic growth is limited by the structure of credit unions.

Cute shorts! How did you find the pattern? I want to make some shorts but I'm wary of ill-fitting shorts.
