Challenger anniversary: Dangers of space travel can never be forgotten
Was it really 27 years ago today that the space shuttle Challenger exploded?
I can remember walking past a TV showing those plumes of smoke going in different directions and trying to figure out what I was seeing.
In moments, we went from thinking of space travel being as routine as an airplane flight to being reminded just how dangerous it is, and continues to be.

I feel that it was a great purchase to use with various slacks and either dress it up or down.
This blazer is a great value. Has several inside pockets that you don't always find on a less expensive coat. The lining doesn't look like it will fall apart. This blazer looks like I spent a lot more money on it.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the jacket for the price. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a very nice blazer.
Good value for money.nice fabric and prefect fit.Nice formal wear.
A good quality blazer at a very reasonable price, true to size fit & looks good!
Very nice quality for the amount of money spent. My husband usually wears a 41R and this fit him perfectly. A little too much padding in the shoulders.
This ia nice quality blazer that can worn to dress up a business casual day or to simply complement an outfit.
The size is too small but still wearable. The buttons on the front of the jacket seem to be incorrectly place. I needed this and was on a strict (small) budget... so it did meet those needs.

Not sure if you've noticed before, but Hostelworld.com doesn't have any free pocket guides, podcasts or videos for South America. That is all going to change though.
My bosses here at HWHQ have been kind enough to send me on a six-week whirlwind trip of South America. First stop is Lima which is where I am now. I got here two days ago. Apologies on the delay with the blog posts.
I'm staying in Albergue Miraflores. It's a great hostel with a really homely feel to it. This is mainly due to Francis, the owner, who really goes out of his way to make sure you get the most out of your stay.
After a quick snooze after arriving (I got here at 7am after an 11.5 hour flight from Madrid), Francis took me around the city. We had a bite to eat and then checked out the National Archaeology Museum. Well worth visiting.
When we got back to the hostel I did some work, then put my head down for what I thought would've only been thirty minutes. That was at 7.30pm. I awoke after 10.5 hours at 6am the next day...bright eyed and bushy tailed for the next day. But more about that later...

It's just one of those weeks... some of you know the ones... where you could rip open a packet of your favourite chocolate biscuits and swallow them whole without taking so much as a breathe... I won't... but god knows I want to
I've always been a sweet tooth, but lately.. it's getting out of control.. I suspect it's because its that exam time of year, on top of working full time and trying to get to the gym when I have a spare second - my old friend stress-cravings!!
Anybody have any tips for beating the beast?? Having just a wee bit doesn't help (if anything it actually feeds the fury). I've managed to stay semi-sane so far with extra fruit, gum, and more frequent coffee breaks.. but definitely open to more ideas!
Muscles are killing me today. I'm actually quite surprised.. due to my lack of sleep lately I thought I was being pretty slack at the gym.. just sort of going through the motions rather than pushing the limits like I usually do.. but my muscles are killing this week! (maybe it has something to do with less repair time while I'm sleeping??
Anywho, I'm back to normal sleep as of last night, and rest day today. Back the gym Thurs to build more lean muscle!! so excited about the prospect of seeing my abs this summer!!!! Come on now body, work with me!
Hi guys,
I'm still looking for some team members for people to join my vege bodybuilding team if anyone's keen?? It doesn't matter if you still eat meat, just as long as you don't give us veges any negativity, we will be all good!
I really want to start getting some challenges etc, underway!!
So I've bitten the bullet and made a new spark team - Vege Bikini, Figure, Physique, Body Building team.
I'm a pretty new vegetarian in the great scheme of things (about a year, but not much meat eaten before the official date anyway), nor am I a seasoned bodybuilder - but am working towards my first competition.
I think it would be great to get some like-minded individuals in a team (novice or pro), so we can feed off each others energy and throw sanity-saving tips around - by no means do I mean to exclude meat-eaters! but only support and encouragement is welcome :D
I've started off with some pretty basic overall team goals, but as soon as numbers and ideas pick up, I'm keen to get some challenges.. definitely open to ideas if anyone has any... sugar-free challenge? caffeine free? a monthly "beat your own personal best [insert exercise here]" beep-test kind of thing? (actually that sounds pretty good)
Anyway, if my groups sounds like anything you may be interested, come on over! I'm still setting it up etc. but can't really get the party started until we get members anyway!
- don't leave me hanging....

It is definitely good to have high limits. It will give you a better chance to have limits in the future as long as you continue paying your bills on time.

If you switch to the beta it'll definately work. However in your setup you'll have to switch the order of Squid and Dansguardian. Dansguardian beta sniffs the NTLM authentication going on between squid and the clients and grabs the info it needs for logging/filtering.
I know this must be getting annoying now and i wouldnt ask but ive been stuck on this for a while now.... I tried to get the beta on by doing:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/etc --with-logdir=/var/log/dansguardian --enable-ntlm
make install
This is after i did a apt-get remove dansguardian, and annoyingly dansguardian wont start... ive tried to start it with /etc/init.d/dansguardian start and nothing. It doesnt display anything just goes to the next prompt.. no error messages.. no indacation of any kind.. What did i do wrong?

Actuant Commences Cash Tender Offer And Consent Solicitation For Its Outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes Due 2017
Actuant Corporation (NYSE:ATU) announced today that it has commenced an offer to purchase for cash any and all of the $250 million outstanding principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2017. In conjunction with the tender offer, Actuant is soliciting consents to effect certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the notes. The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated April 2, 2012, and a related Consent and Letter of Transmittal, which set forth the terms and conditions of the offer and consent solicitation in full detail.
The total consideration to be paid for each $1,000 principal amount of the notes tendered, and not validly withdrawn, will be $1,042.16. The total consideration includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount, which is payable only to holders who tender their notes and validly deliver their consents prior to the expiration of the consent solicitation. Holders who tender their notes after the expiration of the consent solicitation, but on or prior to the tender expiration, will receive the tender offer consideration of $1,012.16, which is the total consideration minus the consent payment. The consent solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2012, unless terminated or extended. The tender offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 27, 2012, unless terminated or extended. Tendering holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last applicable interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable payment date with respect to the tendered notes. Tendered notes may not be withdrawn and consents may not be revoked after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2012.
The proposed amendments to the indenture governing the notes would, among other things, eliminate a significant portion of the restrictive covenants in the indenture and eliminate certain events of default. Adoption of the proposed amendments to the indenture requires the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes. Holders who tender their notes will be required to consent to the proposed amendments and holders may not deliver consents to the proposed amendments without tendering their notes in the tender offer. The proposed amendments to the indenture will not become operative, however, until a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the notes whose holders have delivered consents to the proposed amendments have been accepted for payment.

Cyclones fall to Toledo, 4-3
CINCINNATI (WKRC) -- Kyle Rogers scored twice as the Cyclones (26-15-1-1) fell to the Toledo Walleye (16-24-3-0) by a 4-3 final score in front of 3,781 at U.S. Bank Arena on Friday night. Three days after the Walleye escaped with a narrow 3-2 victory, history repeated itself as Toledo handed the Cyclones another closely-fought defeat. Netminder Mac Carruth (W, 23 saves, 8-10-0-0) kept his squad in the game, turning aside 23 of the 26 shots he faced in the tilt. Newcomer Joe Caveney, who finished the night with two points, and defenseman Drew Daniels each scored their first goals of the season in the loss.
Just as in Tuesday nights matchup, Toledo was the first club to find the back of the net. Shortly after Rob Madore (L, 34 saves, 11-7-0-0) made an impressive series of saves, Rogers recorded his ninth of the season by going top-shelf at 9:13. The Cyclones responded quickly, however, when Jonathan Hazen made a cross-ice pass to Daniels who backhanded in his first goal of the season at 9:44. 27 seconds later, the home team took their first lead of the night when Josh Birkholz scored after a miscue by Carruth. When he attempted to play the puck behind the net, Caveney, who was signed by Cincinnati earlier today, stole the puck and made a centering pass to Birkholz, who promptly shot it into the open net at 10:11. After successfully killing a penalty, the Cyclones entered the first intermission with a one-goal advantage, despite being outshot 13-8 in the period.
Midway through the second stanza, the Walleye knotted the score at two when David Gilbert scored his tenth tally of the season on the power play at 10:35. The score held for the remainder of the frame and the Cyclones headed to the locker room, having been outshot 25-17 through 40 minutes.
The Cyclones killed a penalty to start the final frame and were awarded a power play opportunity when Rogers was called for tripping. However, the Walleye regained the lead as Aaron Bogosian scored shorthanded on the ensuing power play at 3:55. The home team retaliated with a goal of their own at 5:36 when Caveney redirected a shot from Taylor Aronson and lit the lamp for the first time in a Cyclones sweater. The deadlock lasted until 18:10 when Rogers scored his second of the night by poking home a loose puck at the side of the net, securing the 4-3 victory for the Walleye.
It was a tough one, said team captain David MacDonald. Theyre a good squad, but weve got to start finding ways to win. I dont know how many hits we had there, but I think we can always have more. Weve got to be more physical at the end of the day and we have to find a way to win.

'PARGA, ALBANIA' Signed twice with monogram l.r. and inscribed verso '17 No 98 Parga Albania Sketches Parga 1849', watercolour and bodycolour over pencil 16.5 x 26cm Provenance: Thomas Agnew & Sons Ltd. No.29802. This view shows the Venetian fort in Parga. The diaries and paintings that resulted from his trip to Greece and Albania were published in 1851 in 'Journal of a Landscape Painter in Greece and Albania'. Edward Lear's journey to Albania in 1848 had not been planned; it came about through a chance meeting with Sir Stratford Canning, the British Ambassador in Constantinople who obtained the necessary papers for travel through the Ottoman Empire. Starting from Salonica, Lear went north to Shkoder, then south to Corfu, Parga and Arta before turning west again to end his travels at Mount Olympus and the Vale of Tempe.

Yes!! Finally a story that explains the science and ignores the hype! Thank you National Geographic.
Photograph courtesy Bangor University
Published November 16, 2013
Consternation over the death of the world's oldest-recorded animal, a 507-year-old clam nicknamed Ming, has earned marine researchers unhappy headlines worldwide.
But a closer look at the story—"Clam-gate," as the BBC called it—finds the tempest over Ming a bit overblown. (Also see "Clams: Not Just for Chowder.")
News of the clam's death, first noted in 2007, took on a life of its own this week after researchers led by James Scourse, from the United Kingdom's Bangor University, reanalyzed its age and announced the 507-year estimate.
Contrary to news reports, the researchers say they did not kill the elderly clam for the ironic-seeming purpose of finding out its age.
"This particular animal was one of about 200 that were collected live from the Icelandic shelf in 2006," explains climate scientist Paul Butler from the same U.K. university, who, along with Scourse, dredged up the clam as part of a research project to investigate climate change over the past thousand years.
All 200 clams were killed when they were frozen on board to take them home. They didn't find out how old Ming was until they were back in the lab and looked at its shell under a microscope.
Ming Dynasty Survivor
When Ming first made headlines in 2007, the researchers said they thought it was about 405 years old, earning it even then the title of the oldest-known animal.
After the more recent reanalysis, they realized that the bivalve was even more impressive than they had thought.
In the year Ming was born, Leonardo da Vinci was at work on the "Mona Lisa," the first recorded epidemic of smallpox hit the New World, and the Ming dynasty ruled China (hence the name). Ming was 52 years old when Queen Elizabeth I took the throne.
Clam Age Counting
The researchers determined Ming's age by counting the number of bands in its shell. This type of clam, the ocean quahog, grows a new band every year. (Also see "Giant Clam.")
The 100-year age discrepancy resulted from the 2007 analysis examining a part of Ming's shell where some of the bands were so narrow they couldn't be separated from each other.
Scourse, a marine geologist, says that the new age has been verified against radiocarbon dating and is "pretty much without error."
Clams Don't Carry Birth Certificates
When Scourse and Butler dredged up the live clam, they had what appeared to be an everyday quahog, an animal that could fit into the palm of their hand.
As Madelyn Mette, a Ph.D. student at Iowa State University in Ames who also studies these clams, explains, "Once they reach a certain age, they don't get a lot bigger per year … If you have a large clam, you can't always tell if it's 100 years old or 300 years old, because there's very little difference in size."
Scourse points out that the 200 clams they sampled represented a very small fraction of the world's entire clam population. For that reason, even if Ming was the oldest animal that we knew, the chances that it was actually the oldest quahog out there in the ocean depths are "infinitesimally small."
How About Some Chowdah?
In fact, it isn't unthinkable that someone might eat a clam of Ming's age for lunch—ocean quahogs from the North Atlantic are one of the main species used in clam chowder.
If nothing else, Ming's sacrifice should help out Scourse and Butler's research, looking at long-term climate impacts on sea life over the past few centuries.
"The 507-year-old is at the top end of the series," Scourse says. "From this we can get annual records of marine climate change, which so far we've never been able to get from the North Atlantic."
Yes!! Finally a story that explains the science and ignores the hype! Thank you National Geographic.
I have no trust in National Geographic anymore... ever since I advised Albert Yu Lin Min of where Genghis Khan's tomb was only to be ignored by the big fat phony.
Well, I know for a fact that the living animal found most close to the South Pole was killed to see if it had any parasites.
Out of curiosity, what's the scale in the picture of the Quahogs shown? I've enjoyed more than my fair share of little-necks, cherrystones & chowders, but...how big is a 507 year-old clam?
@Magin D'Ville I'm Mongolian and we are actually against finding his tomb.There have been project but it was cancelled. He should be peaceful forever.
Its at (45, 108) in the Gobi Desert by the way... don't bother advising Nat Geo of it though... they're too busy digging up ancient teacups in Northern Mongolia.
@Dan Cosgrove As Peter says it's about 87mm on its longest axis. Arctica islandica can get bigger - up to 120mm in warmer waters near the coast, but these are not as long-lived as the ones off Iceland, which seem to have a lower metabolism in colder waters.
There isn't much variability in the biggest Icelandic specimens, and some were slightly bigger than the 507-years specimen, but didn't live as long (ie "only" 300+ years).
@Dan Cosgrove I was wondering the same thing. I live on the North East coast and see giant clams after storms. Now I am wondering if I made stuffed clams out of a relative or two.
@Magin D'Ville I thought Genghis Khan's tomb has never been located exactly. However, even if you are correct the Mongolians are quite right not to disturb him and leave him resting in peace.
What would you see Magin? Are you advocating that his tomb be opened, invaded and destroyed by self-interested treasure- and glory-seekers operating under the umbrella of 'qualified and trained archaeologists' and the media - "but only for 'scientific purposes?'" We saw that with the Titanic. I'm sure the NGS don't advocate such vandalism. Just leave Temujin in peace.
I found the uncropped picture elsewhere and it lists the length at 87 mm or about 3.5 inches. Just a regular clam!

Sounds like your battery is losing it's charge. Could be the battery's failing or the alternator is not putting out well enough to keep the battery charged. I'd guess the battery's failing. Is the alternator light on when the engine's running? If so, the alternator's not working. Get the charging system and battery checked out.

WebRTC defines no default signaling protocol, causing fragmentation between WebRTC silos. SIP and XMPP provide possibilities, but come with considerable complexity and are not designed for use in a web environment. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Matthew Hodgson, technical co-founder of the Matrix.org, discussed how Matrix is a new non-profit Open Source Project that defines both a new HTTP-based standard for VoIP & IM signaling and provides reference implementations.

The term culture has had a polarizing effect among DevOps supporters. Some propose that culture change is critical for success with DevOps, but are remiss to define culture. Some talk about a DevOps culture but then reference activities that could lead to culture change and there are those that talk about culture change as a set of behaviors that need to be adopted by those in IT. There is no question that businesses successful in adopting a DevOps mindset have seen departmental culture change, ...

Fundamentally, SDN is still mostly about network plumbing. While plumbing may be useful to tinker with, what you can do with your plumbing is far more intriguing. A rigid interpretation of SDN confines it to Layers 2 and 3, and that's reasonable. But SDN opens opportunities for novel constructions in Layers 4 to 7 that solve real operational problems in data centers. "Data center," in fact, might become anachronistic - data is everywhere, constantly on the move, seemingly always overflowing. Net...

Brandi's StoryI actually got this recipe from a mystery book. It has been a huge hit in my family and my classroom because of the many variations possible. I have done a ton of different combos: cranberries, white morsels, and almonds; milk chocolate, dark chocolate, walnuts; cinnamon morsels, white morsels, and pecans; mint morsels and rice crispies; multiple colored raisins, various chocolate morsels, etc. Almost all combos come out if you give a little thought to flavors and textures.
Also, for people who do not like "nuts" of any type; You can replace the 2 cups of "nuts" with rice crispy cereal. It adds bulk but does not alter the flavor much. I have also used a little oatmeal for filler.
These are a GREAT pantry clean out cookie after the holidays.
1 cup melted butter (2 sticks)

Thanks for posting this. It's like the kind of cookies I used to make for my children, when I didn't really have specific ingredients for a certain cookie - just threw in whatever was in the pantry! Sometimes, that turns out the best!

The tiara looks great and we are on year #7 using this as our royalty signature tiara!
Best Uses
This tiara was way more than I expected! So gorgeous, and it is so eye-popping! You can barely behold the brilliance, and it "wows" the crown from across the room or football field. Only drawback- you need an up-do to complete the look- not for loose hairstyles!

Yes, Christmas is Coming — That is a good thing!
Every year we get to this time of year and two things happen: People start playing music and other people start complaining about it. It generally strikes me as funny how Christmas decorations start to whip people in a frenzy. It is as if they have suddenly realized that this holiday is now coming and there is so much to do. I am one of the people they are annoyed with because I have embraced fully the season of Christmas. In fact, I look forward to it all year. I do this because it brings such excitement to our home (and also there are cookies) At the same time, I tend to keep it simple when it comes to Christmas. We set a budget and we stick to it. We do not use credit cards for gifts. We don't waste time trying to impress people because they know better anyway. We just enjoy the season. There is no reason getting stressed out and maxed out in debt in order to celebrate the birth of Jesus. In fact, I think it misses the point of the whole season.
Jesus Christ came as a baby in a most humble way, to extremely 'insignificant' people and the world has never been the same. What are we to learn from that? I think it comes down to two salient truths: 1) Focus your heart on gratitude and worship and 2) Take time with people over time with stuff.
Focus your heart on worship and gratitude
The point of our lives is God's glory. We exists for His glory. When we remember this, it makes each day significant for us. I realized that my life is in His hands and my heart leaps with joy. This is the heart of this season. God did not just leave us alone in our sin; He came so that He would die for the people (even me and you) that rejected Him. It is amazing that Christmas actually has very little to do with pickled herring. (and that is probably a better thing than I would like to admit)
Take time with people over time with stuff
We have spent time over the past few years helping family and friends not buy us gifts. We would much rather spend time doing something with people than receive a package in the mail. Sure we get our kids a few gifts, but we save more money for things we can do throughout the year as a family. This actually creates a better overall family atmosphere and sets up our family time as important and an integral part of our entire year.
So Christmas is coming and yes it is a good thing. Who knows maybe your humble Christmas might be the one Christmas you remember for the rest of your life and aren't paying off for the same period of time.
Beyond Children's Church
It involves a change of attitude, which comes from small, intentional steps. That is what I keep telling myself with the attitude toward some people in the church toward children. I have been in churches where they actually said "let's get the kids out of here so it is quiet" Sometimes the church brags about having children's church for the kids, but it really is for the adults. In my own ministry, I have fought the notion of "keep the cookies in the basement" and "children should be busy during worship so they are not bored." That drives me crazy because if you give a kid a cookie, he will ask for a glass of milk, sure, but just let them eat it wherever he wants and if you are encountering God in worship, kids will not be bored. We must go beyond children's church! I often talk with the kids during the sermon or intentionally share something that will connect with them as well. But then again all of that only comes because I take time to be with the kids relationally. More adults need to do this. Talk with kids. Have a snowball fight, go fishing, throw a football around — whatever it takes. Show interest in them and remember their names. It makes what you say much more meaningful to them.
One of the big shifts has been creating a small group that is for families. What I mean is not that we have kids there and they do some sort of craft on their own away from the adults, but we have the kids and adults together the entire time. We play games together, eat a snack, pray together, and talk about what God is doing in our lives. This past time we spent time making notes for the shut-ins in our church and have ministered to them through that. The group teaching is geared at the kids, but the adults find the time to be encouraging for them also. Their kids are talking about God's Word together! Is this not what the Church is supposed to be?
Perhaps one of the most telling events was our baptism service. We used a water tank for cattle and set it all up outside. This tank was a nice looking pool. That day was a hot day so keeping the kids out of it was very difficult. But after we were done with the baptism, the kids went in, some of them in their clothes. We maintained the respect for what baptism is and made sure we exalted God in it. But once that was over with, it was time to get wet. This is just another piece, I feel, that makes what we are about as the Church authentic and inviting for kids. This is important because if it isn't authentic and inviting for kids, they will most certainly check out. But if we can get them to understand that the Church is them, now, then perhaps they will grow to be an active part of it.
So, I wonder — are there specific ways your church has tried to connect with children beyond children's church?
The Lego Jar (9/20/14) – Summer Winds Down — Fishing Winds Up
I have not done a Lego Jar post in a while simply because my time has been limited. The who idea of the Lego Jar was to design a post that gave me a chance to write about all the various random events that take place. There has been no shortage of random around here, I assure you. I thought I would share a few pieces of the summer, mainly the fishing that we did. The problem is that I did not catch too many fish when I went with the kids this year. I wonder why?
The summer season has wrapped up, school has started, and the nightly battle for homework has begun. Don't you just love the fall? Thankfully with the fall weather comes even more time for fishing, since I am trying to get my fishing day count up. I feel like I am making up for the years on Cape Cod that I didn't get to fish too much. Yes, there was water on the Cape, but I had younger children. Taking younger kids fishing is as fun as tying knots all day long because that is what you do. Take a kid fishing and you will know what I mean. For an extra amount of fun, take a couple of kids fishing in a canoe! Thankfully we have done that this year many times and have had pretty good success with it.
Our most recent trip was on a canoe trail that took us onto the Mississippi River and then back. After my boys got over the fact that there were big boats out there, they enjoyed the time. There were a few fish and very little complaining. Usually no fish means a lot of complaining. My kids are growing up!
The thing about fishing with kids is that they want to keep every fish that you catch. In their mind every fish is a keeper. Now that I think about it, I do have a Northern Pike head in my freezer yet. That was not to be eaten, but to be shown around as proof that we actually catch more fish than the little ones.
This is the time of year when apples are starting to be more available. We were able to press some cider recently. The problem we ran into was that there were two bulls in the field that we did not know were there. All of a sudden there they were. It was a dramatic time for my 7 year old son who screamed "I'm too young to die" Needless to say, they don't want to go pick apples in the pasture anymore.
Some people have asked me how the kids have done with the transition. I would say after a full summer of fun and a new school year that is underway, they have adjusted well. I was at a cafe for breakfast with the two older boys and they said to me "dad, I feel like I know everyone in this town." I wonder how many people they will know after we have been here an entire year. Such is life in a small town.
As I wrap this up, I have been asked twice if we can go fishing today. Is that not what it is all about anyway? Each season has its own unique rhythm to it, but all of the seasons have fishing attached to them. Time to get on with it. After all, the only way you catch fish is by fishing.
Life in Southwest Wisconsin
It has been over 6 months since we left the familiar life we had on Cape Cod for a totally new way of life in Southwestern Wisconsin. Let me tell you , it has been a journey. We have found this community to be a huge blessing to us and our kids. We have also had opportunities to meet kids and families in the community that has only proven to make our transition smoother. My kids have developed a working knowledge of crops. "Hey dad, that looks like corn!" or "I think that is soybeans" have become common conversation. When we arrived here they thought that milk was only something that came from the milk store. Now they know what a cow is and will point all of them out when we drive.
This part of Wisconsin is quite scenic and not as flat as most people think. The sunsets are something to enjoy every night and the culture is just more laid back than we had grown accustomed to on Cape Cod. This has made our summer more enjoyable.
I have been able to fish more than I ever did on Cape Cod and we have actually gone to the beach more also. (ironically) The main reason is that it is much easier to get around.
On the flip side, my kids were not used to severe weather. Tornadoes had become such an obsession for my 7-year-old son that he has checked out every book on tornadoes from the library. I showed him slides from my storm spotting class and he has increased his understanding of things like wall clouds and shelf clouds, among other things. This has been fun to see him develop. That all changed a few weeks back when at 10 pm we were hustling our kids from their beds to the basement as a tornado quickly formed just outside of town. Once the kids stopped crying they decided we needed to move somewhere else. Our tornado chaser in training exclaimed "this is the worst day of my life." Of course I told him "you are young" We only lost the tree in front of our house, but out of town they had true tornado damage.
We are enjoying summer as much as we can because we know that everyday is one day closer to winter. We went canoeing, went to Lambeau Field for a Packer Clinic for the kids, and played some little league.
But God has been so gracious to us and this is very simply my testimony to that. I know God has plans for our family here as we continue to walk forward and I look forward to seeing how it all plays out. In the mean time we are going to enjoy every day because each day is a gift. Make the most of it!
Trust the God Who Knows
We are short-sighted people. What I mean is that we tend to forget all of the positive things when one negative thing shows up. This is not too surprising given the way negativity seems to overcome our lives. The car starts everyday with no incident and you don't notice it at all. But when the car doesn't start and you are late for work, well let's just say that car has been cursed. I was driving back to church one time when the back suspension of my car literally broke in half. I had driven that car for probably 7 years and it had always been reliable. It was just that the break down came at a bad time.
God has been faithful to us again and again. He has been faithful to us in the positive situations and the negative situations. No one should have known that any better than the Israelites around the time of Moses. They had been in slavery and God delivered them out of it. Except they started to question God's motives in it.
"That night all the people of the community raised their voices and wept aloud" – Numbers 14:1
Can you imagine the sound of that? If the whole community was wailing, it would be quite the sight.
"All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, "If only we had died in the desert! Or in this desert!." – Number 14:2
People who are stuck in their ways do not see things any other way. If you had been in Egypt all your life, even if you were a slave, that would be the only life you had ever known. There is comfort to the prison. But God was actually taking them to a better place if they would only trust Him!
The next verses show a discourse between Moses and God with God replying to Moses "I have forgiven them." God is so gracious to us, even in our grumbling.
It would be helpful for us to learn a bit from this because their grumbling did prevent them from entering into the promised land. Our job is not to know how it all turns out, but to trust in the God who does know. The path might not always be easy, but consider the alternative to walking with God! I would rather wait on Him than wait on myself.
