Sunday, 23 January 2011, a sermon for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
[Texts – Is 8:23; 9:1-3; Ps 26,1, 4, 13-14; 1 Cor. 1:10-13, 17; Matt 4:12-23]
'Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles – the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.'(Matthew 4:15-16, NIV)
I just love to watch football on TV. I think football is a beautiful game – a game invented by the English, I can't help but remind you ! What I like about this game is that it is always unpredictable. There are always surprises.
You can watch a game for 75 minutes, and it can be completely uneven. One team playing well, the other is awful. One team scores several goals, the other does not get out of their half of the pitch. One team plays with great organisation, technical mastery, the other cannot do anything. One team is confident, has belief, the other fear is riddled by fear and doubt.
The game seems to have been decided, the victory gained or defeat certain, the spectators begin to leave the stadium.
And then something happens…
It can be anything. A stroke of genius that enables someone to score a goal from midfield. A defensive error. A substitute who takes the field and that changes everything. Even an injustice committed by the referee – it happens from time to time ! – something which fires up the players, which gives them energy, motivates them, and in 30 seconds the game has been transformed.
The team that was lousy, dreadful even, is suddenly transformed. The team starts to really play, to score, to believe. Suddenly, with 10 minutes still to play, it is total insanity! Anything can happen.
That's what I love about football, this unpredictability, this possibility of reversal, that what majkes it so exciting.
I cannot tell you if God loves football, I have read the Bible quite extensively but I have not found a text that tells us this ! But what I can say, and without hesitation, is that God loves reversals, he loves unpredictable twists and turns, he loves the unexpected.
How can I tell you that? Because that's exactly what we heard in the above readings. We read a bit about Zebulun and Naphtali – two regions on Israel.
These two regions did not have a glorious history.
When God brought the people of Israel out of Egypt and out of slavery, he led them to the Promised Land. Each of the 12 tribes were given a territory. However, although God gave them these territories, they had to fight and take them. These territories were inhabited, so they had to conquer them. God says he will be with them and that they will succeed, but they must make the effort, fight, believe God, trust him.
However, we read in Judges chapter 1 that Zebulun and Naphtali failed to dispossess the pagan inhabitants of their territories. I do not know if it was due to their cowardice, or their laziness, or their lack of faith because they did not believe that God will help them, or by simple disobedience. But for whatever reason, they did not dispossess the pagan inhabitants and all their subsequent history was marked by this failure.
Other Jews despised them. We read that they were called "the crossroads of the Gentiles" – which was not a compliment but a reproach. You are failures, cowardly, useless! You couldn't do what God told you to do. God gave you an opportunity, a chance, but you missed it! You were too weak. You just compromised and chose to live amongst pagans. You're not good Jews, you are a filthy unholy mixture. That's how much they were frowned upon, despised, cursed by their fellow Jews.
Is there a hope for people like that ? If we miss our chance with God is there still hope for us ? If we have made mistakes, if we were weak, cowardly, if we lacked the faith, if we failed to trust God is there still hope? Will God abandon us, turn his back on us, walk away from us ?
Listen to what we have just read ;
'Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles – the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.' (Matthew 4:15-16, NIV)
Our God is the God of Zebulun and Naphtali. He is the God of reversals, the God who overturns, the God of unexpected things, really unexpected.
When Jesus, God Himself comes among us, to what area does he come ?
Nazareth in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali !
When Jesus began to preach the Good News that God does not leave us in our sins, our mistakes, our failures, but has come to offer us the possibility of forgiveness, reconciliation with Him. When Jesus begins to do wonders, miracles, where is it that all this starts?
Galilee, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali !
This passage gives me a lot of hope today. First for me personally. In my life as a Christian, I am a rather more weak that strong. Sometimes I'm not as serious as I should be in my religious practice. Sometimes I rather more fail than I succeed. Is there still hope for a poor guy like me?
Fortunately yes ! Because our God is the God of Zebulun and Naphtali. When I stumble, I find myself flat in the dirt, God takes me by the collar, he pulls me to my feet and tells me, "Okay Stephen, let's try again, here we go, follow me."
This passage also gives me hope for the church in Europe – I mean the whole church – Catholic and Protestant. The church in Europe is struggling at this time. Maybe we are all a little guilty for this. Maybe we have not made enough effort to adapt to the contemporary world. Although our gospel cannot change, because Jesus does not change, the way we make known that gospel, offer this faith, even how we live this faith must adapt, must be continually renewed. Maybe we have failed to have sufficient courage, or imagination, to change, to renew, to adapt to our post- modern context.
Perhaps also, we are content to be Christians rather than disciples. We stick simply to a religious identity, rather than entering into a living, intimate and personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which transforms us.
Also, it must be admitted that the history of the church in Europe over the last 500 years, is not all glory. Our story is like that of the church of Corinth in our reading . A church that was torn by religious clans. Christians who are divided, in opposing factions, confrontational.
Is there a hope for a church like this? What will God do with us? Is God going to leave us in our failures, our weaknesses, our mistakes?
on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned
Our God is the God of Zebulun and Naphtali!
God is making his glory shine even now in the midst of us.
In proof of this I invite you to ponder what is happening here today in this mass. You have before you a Protestant guy who is giving the homily (Perhaps he's not doing it so well, but never mind!).
But imagine if 50 years ago someone would dare to have suggest such a thing !
But by the grace of God we have finally realized that what unites us in Christ is far more important that what differentiates us in our traditions. We have one Lord, one faith, one baptism.
Finally, after 500 years we are coming together. This is something so unexpected! An incredible turnaround of the situation !
But our God, is the God of Zebulun and Naphtali, and he is doing it!
In our days a Protestant family can find a home, can experience brotherly love, in the heart of a Catholic community. And here I must take this opportunity to express to you from the bottom of my heart, my deep gratitude for the welcome, the fraternal love that we have experienced from you these past 10 years.
Our God is the God of Zebulun and Naphtali is doing a new thing!
He is making his glory shine even amongst us! So be brave! Hope ! Believe ! Work, and especially pray that God continues to do something new here, that He establishes his kingdom among us, that he enables us to become disciples of Jesus Christ and that together we can worship and preach the good news of Jesus Christ to our contemporaries.
May our God, the God of Zebulun and Naphtali, bless us all. Amen.
Stephen J. March
[Preached ay the parishes of Sombernon (22/01/11) and Vitteaux (23/01/11)]

Harrison Elementary students competed in their first school-wide spelling bee Thursday.
Twenty-two of the school's top spellers between the fourth and sixth grades were selected to showcase their skills in front of classmates and parents.
"They gave us these packets so I've just been spelling the words and asked my dad to help me with it," said Corie McCowin, a fifth grade student.
The competition lasted eight rounds as students were eliminated for an incorrect spelling.
"It's just kind of nice to know that I'm a really good speller and I can actually spell really hard words," said Jacob White, a sixth grade student.
The winning word: primitive.

Morning all,
We are currently looking at updating our library (and it really does need it...) and have been asked whether we should move in the direction of having an LRC rather than a library and using the internet more rather than purchasing lots of books. When I was at university we used the online library Archive "Athens" for all of our research and I am just wondering if anyone knows of a similar resource which could be used at secondary and 6th form level? does anyone use something similar to this or know of anything I can take a look at?
Thanks in advance :)

Originally written on Taking Bad Schotz | Last updated 11/17/14
Levance Fields was a college basketball player for the University of Pittsburgh from 2005 to 2009. During his time at Pitt, he started at point guard for three years, and dished out 645 assists, third most in school history. He also had a knack for hitting clutch shots, like in his senior year when he hit a long go-ahead three pointer to give Pitt the lead in a Sweet 16 game against Xavier. Fields was part of a dynamic trio, which also included DeJuan Blair and Sam Young. They were the emotional leaders for a Pitt team that was a #1 seed in the 2009 NCAA Tournament and reached the Elite 8. Fields, Blair and Young all declared for the 2009 NBA Draft. While Blair and Young were drafted, Fields unfortunately did not get selected with any of the 60 picks. Fields made the Orlando Magic's summer camp roster, but was cut before the season began. Fields then played two years in Russia for Spartak St. Petersburg, but his professional basketball career ended there. It is always sad to see celebrated college players fail in their professional endeavors, but Fields's failures at the next level were especially disappointing to me since Fields is a fellow New Yorker, and was one of my favorite college players to watch. Click here to view the video on YouTube. At least his clutch shots are immortalized on Youtube. -Hollenberg

They renewed their vows in Paris last week.
But on Monday, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have another milestone to celebrate – the birthday of their twins Monroe and Moroccan.
The couple looked like loved-up teenagers as they kissed and cuddled on the streets of the French capital before flying to Austria on a private jet with their now one-year-olds.
The diva popstar tweeted about the day during a shopping trip on Sunday, writing: "Shopping for Roc & Roe's bday in Paris…Dembabies, dembabies,dembabies!"
"We have put together some very festive plans!"

Depeche Mode
Welcome to the machine shop. This British quartet, with all hands playing synthesizers, sports a stridently mechanical sound. Lead singer David Gahan has a boring, if earnest, voice. Those deficiencies put a lot of pressure on songwriter Martin Gore to come up with rhythmic and melodic ideas powerful enough to generate interest. On Black Celebration, Gore succeeds here and there. The European single hit Stripped, and A Question of Time, with its tumbling riff, have some dance potential. But most of the album is more on the not-terribly-enjoyable side. Even the lyrics are dismal, as in Fly On the Windscreen-Final: "Death is everywhere/There are lambs for the slaughter." Enough already, guys. Lighten up. (Sire/Warner Bros.)

Video: UFO Over Vancouver
The following video was shot by a resident of Vancouver. In it, a strange pulsation, and what appears to be, oscillating light can be seen hovering in the night sky. Sandy Curtis shot the video and submitted it to KGW news. The strange lights were witnessed be several other residents.
Full source: KGW News
by Viewer Sandy Curtis
VANCOUVER, Wash. — An east Vancouver neighbor captured video of what appears to be a blinking object Sunday hovering in Sunday's night sky.
Video shot by KGW viewer Sandy Curtis shows blinking red and green lights in the dark.
Tweets and an email to KGW also referenced sightings of an unidentified object in the sky over Vancouver.
The Columbian reported several people came out of their homes off Southeast 192nd Avenue in the Clear Meadows neighborhood around 7 p.m. Dispatchers told the newspaper Monday that they had a report of an object sighting in east Vancouver.
The National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle told the Columbian they did not get any UFO reports; nor did the National Weather Service in Portland.

You are right and I apologize for asking for a ridiculous refund amount. I only came to that number based on an average cost of labor and the time I put into it.
I watched your video and the only thing I can figure is for whatever reason I got a pair of side skirts where the bottom holes just didn't line up. (manufacturing issue?)
That is not your fault because you were going on the assumption that the bottom holes should have lined up. Maybe whomever you ordered them from made replicas and they got the size wrong? Anyway...I genuinely do not think you would try to rip anyone off and I even stated that to you in one of my PMs or e-mails...(can't remember which).
After watching your video it made me realize my side skirts are just funked up for what ever reason.
I went back and deleted the posts because I now believe (after watching your video) you did provide what you had originally stated in your OP.
However...the pictures I have show that I did legitimately have to drill.
I feel pretty bad about this whole thing now but I am sure you can understand why I was frustrated.
I appreciate you taking the time to make the video. As I said at the beginning of this post...I guess my set of sides were screwed up by the manufacturer.

Manuel Alzugaray's Provocation Plan
Recent reports of four Miami men arrested in Cuba have also implicated some prominent Cuban exiles in the alleged terrorist plot against Cuban military installations (Miami Herald report). One of those prominent Cuban exiles is Dr. Manuel A. Alzugaray who has denied his involvement with the arrested Miami men. But five years ago Alzugaray mentioned a secret plan to provoke the Cuban government in certain vulnerable areas, possibly through divisions in the military.
The Cuban government has yet to publicly present any evidence that Alzugaray or any Cuban exile was behind this recent terrorist plot. And we should assume all men allegedly involved are innocent until proven guilty.
Back in 2009, Dr. Manuel Alzugaray, then re-elected as President of the Municipios de Cuba en El Exilio boasted of a secret plan to "provoke" the Cuban government and create the conditions where the Cuban people would "throw themselves [onto the streets]."
What is interesting about the comments in the video above are the details Alzugaray mentions. Alzugaray, as past and current president of the Miami Medical Team (MMT), spoke of plans to use MMT links with dissident groups inside Cuba to cause the provocation. "We have information of where we have to make the provocation," he said. According to the MMT, they have established links with dissident groups inside Cuba through their "Cuba Project" which sends humanitarian packages and provides humanitarian training (more information here). Another detail is Alzugaray mentioning that "we are going to provoke them because inside their military there is a division."
The Cuban government in 2011 accused Manuel A. Alzugaray of being a provocateur which he had also denied. His accuser, a Cuban spy, had infiltrated the MMT and its "Cuba Project."
[Transcript for video above.]
"The youth committee, the labor committee that will work on some programs inside Cuba which shall be with the Miami Medical Team [or] Doctors Without Borders creating what are known as the independent medical clinics.
"We are going to provoke them. And we know where we are going to provoke them because we have information of where they are weak [or vulnerable]. We have information of where we have to make the provocation.
"And, we are going to provoke them because inside their military there is a division. But, that division there that wants to throw itself [onto the streets] needs for the people to throw themselves [out into the streets] so that they can [finally] throw themselves [onto the streets]. They [the military] are not going to throw themselves first. The people need to throw themselves [first].
"We are going to provoke them. Yes, we are going make a humanitarian provocation and with humanitarian things [or actions] because we can't do anything else, but we know how to do what must be done well.
"We have been preparing these last two years since I left the presidency, methodically preparing [to] now begin the provocation against the [Castro] regime. If they accept the provocation they are going to look bad. If they don't accept it, then they are going to look bad as well."

Today in 1961...
If you go to the new Cuban (Exile) Memorial in Sweetwater you will notice a specific series of plaques. Those plaques identify tragic events such as the "Rastra de la Muerte" ("Cargo Container of Death" where nine captured Brigade 2506 soldiers died by asphyxiation) and the 1994 sinking of "El Remolcador 13 de Marzo." But, among those plaques, is the historic tragedy of the Bay of Pigs invasion.
The Bay of Pigs (namely its failure) seems to be one of the origins of the Cuban exile narrative focused on tragedy and suffering.
[Correction: I just recalled that the Cuban Memorial has a plaque for the anti-Castro guerrillas who operated in the Escambray Mountains. This event occurred before the Bay of Pigs and forms the earliest part of the Cuban exile narrative. These guerrillas were formed after the 1959 Cuban Revolution from "disgruntled officers from the revolutionary army" and formed an early potential operating area for the Bay of Pigs invasion. These guerrillas received weapons from the U.S. which were dropped by air. But, the guerrillas suffered from low numbers (around a thousand), lack of support (from nearby residents), and resources (such as food, and weapons would often be intercepted). American William A. Morgan was among the early leaders of the Escambray counter-revolution, but soon arrested and executed on March 11, 1961. Sources: here, here and here.]

Radio Mambi Attacks Yoani Sanchez, Unknowingly Puts Foot in Mouth
As famed Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez gets closer and closer to her Miami visit, militant and hard-line Cuban exiles are going through an interesting phase of introspection: How much respect or support should they show Sanchez during her internationally publicized trip around the world, while withholding their deep displeasure by her public opposition to the U.S. embargo towards Cuba and the presence of the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo. This is how Radio Mambi responded.
On Monday, the day before Yoani Sanchez's historic visit to Washington D.C., Radio Mambi's Armando Perez-Roura (founder and programming director) decided to make his position clear on the famous Cuban blogger. Some weeks ago, Perez-Roura admitted he thought about it carefully, especially after Sanchez's public comments in Brazil. He debated the issue with his group Unidad Cubana one Saturday, where he described the discussion as very divisive. I recall years ago Perez-Roura showing much admiration for Yoani Sanchez.
But, given her recent comments against U.S. policy, it seems that Perez-Roura can no longer give Yoani Sanchez his full support. Instead, on Monday Perez-Roura invited Tito Rodriguez Oltmans to his two-hour show "Tome Nota" to reflect their displeasure with Sanchez, and cast doubt on her motives.
Tito Rodriguez Oltmans, former exile militant of the group Salva a Cuba (Save Cuba) and Unidad Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Unity), is the long-time host of Radio Mambi's show "Puntos de Vista" (Points of View) which airs every Saturday at 8pm. In his two-hour show, Rodriguez talks about all sorts of conspiracies related to international communism, the infiltration of communists in the U.S., and his deep distrust of some dissidents inside Cuba. According to Rodriguez, Cuba's Ministry of the Interior has such complete control of communications inside the island that any regular mention of dissident activities in the international media is actually being permitted by the Cuban government. In other words, behind Yoani Sanchez lurks a communist plot in the shadows.
Armando Perez-Roura said he invited Rodriguez to his show because he had heard Rodriguez's previous show on Yoani Sanchez. Clearly, Perez-Roura had approved of those comments, as he approves of most guests who appear on his show, and continues to ban others he disapproves of, namely Democrats.
But, Tito Rodriguez Oltmans unknowingly made a huge error on Monday. As Rodriguez raised several questions about Yoani Sanchez and her blog, calling into question her motives for visiting Miami, and making absurd allegations, he was actually relying on questions being raised by Cuban government supporters who also oppose the famous dissident blogger. In other words, Tito Rodriguez Oltmans on Monday did a huge favor for his long-time enemy, the Cuban government.
If you listen carefully to the audio excerpts above, you'll notice that Rodriguez raised some of the same questions mentioned in Salim Lamrani's recent article titled "40 Questions for Yoani Sanchez" (If you were lucky to hear the entire show, Rodriguez relied heavily on this document). Lamrani is a journalist who writes frequently on several topics related to Cuba. To get an idea where he stands on U.S. policy towards Cuba, then check out his edited volume titled "Superpower Principles: U.S. Terrorism Against Cuba." He's written several other books about U.S. policy towards Cuba, which have been published in Spanish by Editorial Jose Marti, a publisher based in Havana. Lamrani has also been a long-time critic of Yoani Sanchez.]
I find it hard to believe that Tito Rodriguez Oltmans would use this material if he knew the author, especially given Lamrani's political stance on U.S. policy and support of the Cuban government. Most likely, Rodriguez was unconcerned about who wrote these questions, and more interested in his own agenda to defame Yoani Sanchez.
In their paranoid world, Rodriguez and Perez-Roura believe that Sanchez's message being transmitted throughout the world is another attack against their militant cause. They don't like the division and introspection that Sanchez's messages provoke. They prefer the unity of mind that exile militants are used to, where friend and enemy are easily recognized, and where the right solution for Cuba is clear: a political transition through righteous violence.
For those militants, Yoani Sanchez doesn't fit.

Radio Mambi Says "Celebrate the Death of Chavez"
Radio Mambi host Armando Perez-Roura said this evening people should "celebrate the death of [Hugo] Chavez." Perez-Roura made this comment in response to suggestions that Venezuelans in Miami be respectful in their response to the recent death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Perez-Roura believes celebration is due because Chavez's death means "freedom for Venezuela and possibly for other countries." No doubt Perez Roura is referring to Cuba.

Miami Herald Errs Against Yoani Sanchez
In their rush to grab readers, yesterday El Nuevo Herald chose to err against Yoani Sanchez by misinterpreting her recent comments in Brazil. As a result, the Herald not only violated a basic code of journalistic ethics ("Make certain that headlines... do not misrepresent"), but also helped skeptics of Yoani Sanchez in Miami to never trust her again.
Yesterday in Brazil, famous Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez was invited by legislators of the Brazilian Social Democracy party to the Chamber of Deputies. At the event, Sanchez was questioned over her various political positions, including the case of the Cuban Five. Among her comments, she said this:
"[The Cuban government] cannot continue financing a disproportionate campaign [to free the Cuban Five] going already over 14 years. That is my position as the mother of an adolescent child, as a concerned citizen over the treasury of my country... I would prefer [the Cuban Five] be free to see if [our country] would save more [revenue]. And, there are other matters to deal with."
This was no "call" to release anyone.
No one honestly calls out or takes up a cause out of preference. Imagine someone saying: "I would prefer the cause of human rights, if it would solve our financial problems." Such a comment wouldn't be taken seriously as a motive for defending such an important issue. Just ask anyone who supports freedom for the Cuban Five, or anyone who supports freedom for Cuba. So, the Herald who interviews many Cuban exile activists should've known this, and also been aware of the sensitivity in Miami over political opinion concerning the Cuban Five.
The headline was quickly changed Wednesday evening after Yoani Sanchez directly responded to the Herald article through Facebook. Sanchez clarified by writing she was being ironic and apologized if her "words didn't leave a clear message." But, it was too late. The headline had already spread through the internet, local Spanish-language radio and television, leaving some in Miami shocked, upset or filled with mistrust.
Yoani Sanchez's comments over the U.S. embargo against Cuba and the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo (which she believes is illegal) actually resemble popular, public and academic opinion. Saying that the U.S. embargo is hegemonic, a failure, or an excuse for the Cuban government's inefficiency is uncontroversial. Even in Miami. Also, notice that her comments regarding the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo being illegal gets little attention. That's because if anyone (not aware of the history of the base) puts themselves in the shoes of a Cuban (like Sanchez), the U.S. Naval Base can be easily viewed as a violation of a nation's sovereignty. It's difficult to justify to a Cuban, so its ignored.
So, the only ones that are bothered by Yoani Sanchez and her comments are hard-liners and militants opposed to the Cuban government. They don't like the media attention her individual and personal comments are receiving because those comments are not sufficiently opposed or against the Cuban government and its policy. They believe her comments so far have been "far from perfect" or "misinformed" or just plain erroneous.
They prefer the blogger whose opinion and bravery is limited to her immediate surroundings in Cuba, but God forbid Yoani Sanchez has a strong opinion about international issues. (I wonder how they would react when they discover she's also pro-choice.) They will praise her if her message is "perfect," but ignore her or distance themselves if it isn't. Or, like the Herald, are comfortable leaving her behind to fend for herself.

Notice how few measures are shared by two or more raters. That indicates a lack of agreement among them on what defines quality.

Better start stretching now, because come this Friday, there will be much wiggling to be had as everyone's favorite Aussie children's group, The Wiggles, invades the Allen Event Center for a pair of performances. The Big Birthday Tour features not only the colorfully-shirted Wiggles, but also... wait for it... Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, and Wags the Dog! The interactive performance that The Wiggles have become famous for is sure to include lots of singing, lots of dancing, and lots of yelling "Wake up, Jeff!" whenever that curiously sleepy purple Wiggle falls asleep on stage. With the most successful preschool entertainers on the planet, a feather-adorned pirate, a bipedal octopus, and thousands of smitten children all tucked inside an upper-class Dallas suburb, expect nothing less than a party. The wiggling commences at the Allen Event Center this Friday at 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at ticketmaster.com, and they range from $15 to $75. Parents: A couple shots, or perhaps some hard drugs before this show couldn't hurt.
Fri., July 8, 2:30 & 6:30 p.m., 2011
