MORRIS, Minn. - The City of Morris may face a $52,000 cut in Local Government Aid for 2013 if the Minnesota Legislature does not make adjustments to the way LGA is distributed, the Morris City Council learned at their meeting Tuesday. In his report to the council, City Manager Blaine Hill (who was not at Tuesday's meeting), said, "Apparently, the [total] LGA funding from the state will be the same, but the way it is given out through the formula will be different.
MORRIS, Minn. - United States veterans, who make up between seven and eight percent of the U.S. population, should not be expected to sacrifice more through federal budget cuts to the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, American Legion National Commander Fang Wong told a group of more than 60 veterans and local residents over dinner at the American Legion in Morris on Tuesday.

marginally relevant anecdote:
so I'm hanging in ocean city maryland earlier this week just bro'ing out with some folks and I see a sign regarding buying/selling OC real estate from some Eric fella. Then his number was something like xxx-SEA-ERIC and i thought of you.
hey sweet review kid
lol that's pretty cool i gotta meet this guy
and hey i'm broing out out marginally near ocmd in a few weekends for my birthday

Pos'd, but I can't stand this.
I'm sorry.
Good review, man.
This album's really good, but I'm not a fan of Conrad's vocals. They would work for some types of music, but I feel like this breed of indie pop almost demands a more eccentric voice.

'River of Stars': A sweeping saga of a swordsman and a poetess
Guy Gavriel Kay's "River of Stars" is a fantasy set in a country much like that of China during the Song dynasty, where a fearless young man and a brilliant young woman confront their destinies. Kay appears Friday, April 19, at the University Book Store in conversation with Nancy P
Special to The Seattle Times
Author appearance
Guy Gavriel Kay
The author of "River of Stars" will discuss his book in conversation with Nancy Pearl at 7 p.m. Friday, April 19, at Seattle's University Book Store, 4326 University Way N.E.; free (206-634-3400 or ubookstore.com).
Why would a white man want to write an epic fantasy based on Chinese history? Why would he do so twice?
In the case of award-winning Toronto author Guy Gavriel Kay, the answer could be, "Because he can." "River of Stars," (Roc, 576 pp., $26.95), the follow-up to Kay's acclaimed "Under Heaven," takes place in Kitai, a land closely modeled on China. Set during a period mirroring the centuries-long Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE, as "Under Heaven" mirrored the Tang Dynasty of 618-907 CE), "River of Stars" tells the intertwining stories of a swordsman and a poetess. Not the most iconoclastic pairing for this milieu, but Ren Daiyan and Lin Shan are fully realized characters rather than the shadows those labels suggest.
Beginning with Ren's sudden understanding that the bandits he confronts as a boy may hold the key to his future — that he needs to live in their midst rather than fight against them — the novel takes several surprising turns. Yet though the plot is blessedly unpredictable, its hero is no inscrutable warrior type: Ren is motivated by understandable emotions born of a culture well described. Brilliant, stubborn, loyal, daring, he does what he must. But his tasks are often determined by chance and other elements beyond his control, elements he as a character and we as readers recognize only in hindsight.
Lin Shan is a woman brought up by her idealistic father to break the far-too-restrictive mold defining her sex. Through his characters' unobtrusive reflections, Kay carefully differentiates the ways changing eras affect the roles of upper-class women. Whether she and her father travel to take part in a far city's celebrated peony festival or to visit a country gentleman, the mores of the Song Dynasty dictate that Lin must stay in their destination's women's quarters; she must dress so as not to incite lust, must remain virgin till her wedding night and so on. Her literacy, while not forbidden, is viewed as eccentric.
Lin is aware of the costs of her exceptional status even as she enjoys its rewards, and she loves her antique-collecting husband even as she glories in Ren's illicit embrace. Caught in powerful political currents, Ren and Lin witness a barbarian invasion that not even his superior military tactics can defeat, sweeping changes her poems can only lament.
"River of Stars" is a long novel (more than 500 pages) telling a large story. In addition to Ren and Lin, there are believable depictions of barbarian horsemen, court officials (honest, corrupt, loyal, ambitious or all of the above), soldiers, thieves and ghosts. Fantastic elements such as these last, or the fox spirit whose advances Ren rejects, are few. So one must ask not only why Kay wrote an epic based on another's culture but why this epic is a fantasy set in Kitai instead of a historical novel set in China.
Again, the answer concerns the author's abilities. Freed from the constraints of actual events, "River of Stars" allows him to write about complex, involving human beings rather than the larger-than-life legendary figures they become in time. At this delicate and demanding art, Kay excels.

Manziel is a total punk! If Sumlin was smart, he would bench the little jerk next week against Podunk U. and explain to him the rules he needs to follow if he wants to continue to play football at Texas A&M.....
He needs a hit like Morrison put on EJ last year!
his little espn deal was tasteless "they may need 4 or 5 people to block me" crap
Oh, and throw AM's season out the door in the process? Lol. Some posters on here
Against Sam Houston State? Yeah, you're right -- A&M needs Manziel to beat SHSU.
They need everyone to beat them. Need a couple of Manziels actually...
He said he idlized C Newton and I now believe he is even worse. Arrogant maybe?
I hope he gets on track.
That said, for now this dude reminds me of a bad guy in professional wrestling.

Google Glass App Brings Out Your Inner Empath Reading People's Feelings With 'Sentiment Analysis'
Here's a wild prediction: Most of the expressions being read will not be happy ones. (Also, there's a less expensive way to gauge people's emotions that's been around for a long time, and it's called "looking them in the eye".)
The company behind this particular technology is Emotient, and the glassware is a practical implementation of the company's facial recognition software, which can track 19 facial muscle movements to determine complex emotions, and it looks at finding seven primary expressions (which are joy, surprise, sadness, anger, fear disgust and contempt) and general feelings of positivity, neutrality, and negativity.
Emotient just secured $6 million in funding, and it hopes that its software will proliferate commercially thanks to the new Emotient API.
dont hate google glass because of what someone else develops for it. That kind of thinking almost puts in the camp of those that fear glass because "i might be recording you all the time. Its just silly. Google glass has all kinds of potential both good and bad. I think its cool personally. I want service to understand my disgust with them when they are lying to me about something that clearly know nothing about thru an app
soon google glass will call your doctor and his phone will make a prescription for anti depressants that Google will administer and if you dont take them you will be labeled a felon.
hmm I might could use such a device for picking up the chicks :p

The Parry Blade knife is the result of a unique collaboration between Mel Parry and Scorpion Knives. It is simply the ultimate combat/survival knife designed and developed with efficiency and practicality in mind. A thoroughbred amongst knives, it was borne out of a clear understanding that a knife should be first and foremost a tool.
The knife is strong and heavy, made from high tensile stainless steel hardened to 57-58 Rc. The blade is coated in black DuPont Teflon or optionally a grey shot blast finish can be specified. The main edge is bevel-ground for strength. The deep belly shape takes the weight forward giving the knife a powerful chopping stroke. The point is ground as a spear point and is strong enough for digging and prying.
Near the choil is a hollow-ground section that can be honed for razor sharpness for fine cutting and whittling, aided by the forward choke. On the top of the blade is a serrated edge for sawing through rope or webbing.
The contoured double guard butt is squared off and file cut for use as a hammer. Checkered and contoured linen Micarta scales screwed to the full tang construction complete this exceptional knife.
The Parry Blade comes complete with a black heavy duty Cordura sheath and a high quality sharpener that fits neatly into a pocket in the sheath.
Mel Parrys military service spans 32 years, 27 of which were spent with Special Forces and his operational experience formed an integral part of the design and development of this very special blade. Each knife is skillfully hand crafted by Scorpion Knives, making every knife truly extraordinary.

Home Sellers' Price Hikes Coming 'Unsustainably Fast'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Real estate consumer services and analysis firm Trulia (TRLA) is out with a slew of real estate data, but topping the charts is a new, aggressive attitude from home sellers, who apparently enjoy having the upper hand after five years of little leverage.
Trulia reports that the average home asking price rose by 11.7% from October 2012 to last month, based on data from its Price Monitor.
October saw only an incremental rise in home asking prices, at 0.6%, but the year-over-year figure is the largest jump since the housing bubble popped back in 2007-08.
Apparently, home sellers are hitching a financial ride on the increasingly robust real estate market.recent data from CoreLogic (CLGX), home prices rose 10% from the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013 -- a figure unsurprisingly close to the 11.7% rise in home asking prices. "Although October's asking home prices rose at the second-slowest pace in seven months, prices are still rising unsustainably fast," says Jed Kolko, Trulia's chief economist. "Even though the market is far from bubble territory, we still see the effects of fast-rising prices, including investors flipping homes and would-be sellers waiting longer to put their homes on the market." On another front, Trulia reports that metro area home prices in so-called "blue states" are rising at a faster pace than those in red states (12.5% to 11.1%), if only because blue state home prices dropped further in the aftermath of the housing market collapse, representing a "bigger rebound after a steeper decline," as Trulia puts it.

House bill blocks pay increase for feds
Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) introduced a bill that would block a 0.5 percent pay raise for federal workers slated to go into effect March 27. In an executive order issued late last month, President Barack Obama mandated a 0.5 percent pay increase.

Second VA official resigns over conference spending
Alice Muellerweiss, the dean of VA's Learning University, resigned, joining John Sepulveda, the agency's former chief human capital officer. As many as 10 others are under review for their actions or parts in what the IG called a lack of oversight.

Lawmakers 'committed' to postal reform in new Congress
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said they were committed to working together to pass postal reform legislation in the new Congress. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe renewed his call for congressional action, saying the agency faces an "unsustainable" financial path.

Timing of Unified Agenda release draws criticism from Issa
While Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, criticized the Obama administration for turning in the Unified Agenda nine months late, one researcher says its more important to focus on the contents of the document rather than the timing of its release.

IT reform bill would cull the CIO herd, give them more power
Rep. Darrell Issa said agencies need a lot more agility in their IT spending, but a lack of budget authority and a proliferation of accountability among bureau-level CIOs gets in the way.

House Republicans blast OIRA over late regulations report
The chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees have written to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) demanding to know why the public release of a report on upcoming federal regulations is behind schedule. In a letter to the agency, Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Lamar Smith (R-Texas), the chairmen of the Oversight and Government Reform and Judiciary committees, respectively, say OIRA has not been forthcoming about the expected publication date of a report that should have been released months ago.

USPS hits borrowing limit for first time
The U.S. Postal Service hit its $15 billion borrowing limit for the first time late last month, the agency confirmed. The Wall Street Journal first reported earlier this week that the USPS reached the limit on the amount of money it can borrow from the Treasury Department and is now dependent solely on its own revenue to sustain operations.

Senate expands whistleblower protections for feds
The Senate unanimously approved a bill Tuesday expanding protections for federal whistleblowers. The Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, authored and introduced by Sen.

Issa probing conferences that exceeded GSA price tag
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is probing more than 150 conferences hosted by 11 agencies since 2005 where wasteful spending or excessive spending may have have occurred, according to a committee release. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the oversight chairman, said the committee is using the lavish $823,000 regional conference hosted by the General Services Administration in 2010 as a "benchmark" to compare other agencies' conference spending. The committee found the Defense Department has held 64 such conferences.

Another View -- Marjorie Smith: Show me the money
There is lots of talk about money; money that slots bring into the casino coffers, money that table games bring to the same coffers.
There is language that sets the cost of a license, and language that sets the percentage that would go to the state. Some of my colleagues otherwise opposed to casinos are supporting the bill because revenue will come to the state, but how much?
There is some money in the bill to address the social costs of gambling, but no plan for how those funds are to be used, or by whom.
But we do know what happens in other states.
In Delaware, for example, the casinos are not bringing in the revenue, that the operators expected, and they have now asked the state for an $8 million bailout. So there's a specific dollar amount, with the money going the wrong way.

A&E Cancels 'The Glades'
The cancellation comes one day after news broke that "Longmire" would be picked up for another season.
One day after news broke that A&E was planning on renewing Longmire, the cabler has officially canceled The Glades.
The cancellation comes days after the Aug. 26 season-four finale delivered a season-best 3.4 million total viewers, 1.1 million in 18-49 and 1.3 million in 25-54. During the season, The Glades averaged 2.6 million viewers, 762,000 in 18-49 and 954,000 in 25-54, in the Monday 9 p.m. slot.
The Glades, created by Clifton Campbell, follows a Chicago detective who takes a job with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Matt Passmore, Kiele Sanchez, Carlos Gomez, Uriah Shelton, Jordan Wall and Michelle Hurd starred in the Fox TV Studios production.
The drama, which debuted in July 2010, was A&E's first original program to stay on for more than one season, establishing the network as a destination for scripted series. At the time, The Glades series debut was A&E's most watched and highest-rated episode.
A&E is prepping its latest original scripted drama, the Chloe Sevigny starrer Those Who Kill, for 2014, along with the second season of Bates Motel.

For those of you Vegans out there - did you know that Caribou Coffee can make a Green Tea Latte to order? I know that starbucks can do one too but unfortunately they do charge for the usage of soymilk in exchange for cow's milk. In addition, you can ask for no syrup which is just sugar and empty calories. So, what you get is a yummy green tea soymilk that is all warm and comforting. Mmmm Just thought I would mention to everyone since I was so happy to find this out today when I was writing for work at the coffee house.
This week has been very challenging for me. The husband and I got back from over a week business trip to Michigan and Virginia. (Yeah, again) It's harder to keep eating healthy food on the run while also eating vegan but we certainly did everything possible to keep to our normal practices. We purchased fresh apples while traveling and always tried to get as many vegetables as possible. It worked out great but I'm afraid I did gain a four pounds (not sure if it's weight gain or just bloat). We even worked out, including the night we arrived in VA after a 12 hour car drive.
We walked around a lot during our free moments and had a wonderful time together enjoying the warmer weather and tourist hot spots. (Including a Sanrio store!!!! Swoon!!!) I love traveling and could do it more often if money and work would allow. haha One day we walked around 8 hours (our free day) sight-seeing - it was a great workout and such a delightful time. We just parked and walked all around, even if it was a mile from one destination to the next. So, I say we did an okay job.
Unfortunately, I did catch a cold while gone. It has kept me very groggy and really tired. More than occasionally I found myself sitting inf ront of my computer staring for who knows how long. If anyone were to walk past me while working, I'm sure they would think I was on something more than cold medicine. haha So, when we got home I started a "detox" with only homemade foods and as many vegetables as possible. Here are a few days of my breakfast and lunch meals.
Bento Lunch for 2 + baby:
My husband and I were gone again for another week in Virginia and the two small weekend trips to Michigan for work. Thank goodness we had the opportunity but even more thankful to be home for a few days.
Yesterday I was thankful to get out to the gym again and workout a little. I'm fighting a cold I caught while in Michigan (I'm guessing?) so I couldn't do much but did manage a reasonable workout. 2 miles running, 20 minutes bike and some lifting weights and yoga. Not that great but not bad considering how congested I am right now - grrr... Plus the medicine makes me really tired so...
After my workout I was invited to attend a day out with two delightful ladies (a momma and baby) to the zoo. I absolutely love animals so even when I'm tired and sick, I can't say no to the zoo. This zoo is a rescue zoo so it makes me feel better that the proceeds to the zoo go towards healing these furry babies. It included two hours of walking around the zoo but I kept energized by eating an apple, drinking apple juice and eating some carrots dipped in hummus. Yum! I took it along for the ride since I didn't have chance to eat lunch before leaving.
When I got home I was so tuckered out I managed to get a little work done and then collapsed in bed for a 20 minutes regeneration before the hubster came home. Then I made an easy homemade spaghetti with dinosaur kale all from our local farmers market. Yum!
Hoping now to get in a little workout tomorrow and maybe not be as tired and cranky. Haha
Okay Biggest Loser fans... I'm confused. Bob went to Texas and stayed at the contestants house. He made a meal with them but then placed fish on his plate. Didn't he go 100% vegan this last year? Were my eyes playing tricks?
Today was one of those days. Maintenance wanted to come into our townhouse to put batteries in the fire alarms (according to the law here) so I had to wait around for them the whole morning. Normally they come early in the morning so I can still hit my morning gym run. Unfortunately this year they decided to come later and I had to wait until after lunch to workout. But, I still made myself work out. It's always so hard to get to the gym in the afternoon of evening compared to the morning hours, why is that? Does anyone else have that problem?
Breakfast: Coffee and Sprouted Tofu scramble with kale and red cabbage.
(oops, I have to load the photo from my camera still...)
Snack: Very small Apple and a cup of tea
Lunch: Same as yesterday: Large Arabic pita stuffed with organic mixed greens with a side of freekeh (my addiction lately). I also had a little organic orange juice for some sugar since I naturally have low-sugar levels.
Snack: Luna Peppermint Stick Energy Bar after my workout.
Dinner: Refried Bean Soup and a small salad with raspberry vinaigrette.
Snack: Tonight I'm making homemade vegan pumpkin pie as a test for Thanksgiving so I'm sure that is going to end up being tested too in a small amount. It's made from our pumpkin we got at a local farm though so healthy. Yum!
Workout: 4 miles in total and 50 sit-ups on the ball. Walk to and from gym.

text: Arranging Your Next Party Use A Really Good Party Band hire a band for essex Whatever kind of function you have, whether it be a party or a wedding, having a live covers band playing can turn the event into a great success. wedding party band Sometimes it is essential that you find a band that has the exclusive ability to expertly play some of the 'classics'. For no matter how good a band's original music is, it's still an amateur one and won't really match up to the greats. This is the role and point of a covers band. Though they have a large stock of chartbusters, you will find cover bands playing songs belonging to a particular era or of one famous band. So these cover bands strength is essentially playing songs written by others in the original artist's style. If you decide that you want a covers band for your function, you might need a few tips. The internet is obviously the best place that you can go to start looking to find your perfect live band. You may be lucky and be able to find a band that are in your own hometown or just a few towns away. This is actually to your advantage as, the farther they live, more is the amount of traveling expanses that are incurred that you have to meet. In addition, online directories that will link you to covers bands can be found easily with just one touch of your mouse and keyboard. If the band is not near to you they may add extra transport costs to their fee. It's important to listen to a band's work before you contact them. Here too, it's valuable to have the internet at your disposal. The internet gives you access to the personal MySpace pages that the bands have made. This will in turn give you an insight into their music by listening to he clips they have uploaded. The quality of the music might differ from band to band but you will be able decided who has the right skills for the job. If you cannot listen to their music online, you might want to send an email requesting a fee demo CD. You might even be able to get a DVD, which will show a live performance of theirs. Have a very clear idea about your wants and desires. This is your party. Tell them about the kind of music you need them to be familiar with. Ask them if they will be too fussy if you propose, they should wear some specific costumes you have in mind. Inform them about concerns regarding space (if any) well beforehand. Remember, the more questions you ask the band beforehand the smoother and more successful your event is going to be. You will also need to make sure that you are taking a moment and thinking about your budget. Are you allowing enough of a budget for the hiring of a covers band? Remember, they do not work for free. If you have no idea of what kind of budget you will need to set, look at what other bands are charging and you will get a good idea. You needn't decide on a band within two minutes of beginning your planning unless you're late, by which of course it will be really hard to find a band. Frankly, you're spoilt for choice and take time before you reach a final conclusion. entertainment for essex weddings hire bands for parties essex pop band hire

Barbara in Michigan, with 10 yr old Weimaraner Comet, and 1+ yr old Greyhound, Babs. I had a rough weekend, having been trampled in a crowded crosswalk on Friday night (sprained my ankles - again), Babs is an escape artist and has gotten out of my yard twice (very hard to catch even when both feet work!). I stayed inside all weekend icing, watching movies and hobbling around. Babs is an energy machine and I seriously don't know if I'm going to be able to keep her. Comet goes in for blood work on Wednesday and I'll have a good talk with my vet about her.

Laura in VA with 7YO lab/mix, Cleo. Well...we finally got our power back on Friday night. I had to do some catching up on Saturday. Bought flowers for all my pots, as well as the planters I put out at the Studio. Sunday did potting....so that's all done. Other than that....just business as usual....

Terre from Arkansas with Jack and Taz, Toy Fox Terriers. Jack is 10 and Taz is 9.
Spent most of my weekend working in the yard - watering, weeding (blehhh). Saturday night went to church, afterwards we drove into the city and spent the evening watching our minor league team. It was actually a private party (dh's employer). Lots of people there. They had a spread of hamburgers, hot dogs and ice cream. It was fun but it was very humid. I was melting!!. Sunday - I was a slug LOL

It was a really emotional decision for me, but I've decided to give Babs back to the rescue. She needs so much more than I am able to give her, and I need so much less enthusiasm from her. They just want everyone to be comfortable with the fit, so I will "swap her out" for a Mini Pin/Beagle mix tomorrow. Brownie has been in rescue for over two years, and she doesn't "sparkle," so has been passed over time after time for adoption. She is very sweet, is good with cats, has met grumpy Comet, and doesn't bounce off the walls and ceiling. I'll keep you posted.

How I Sin
John ShoreBesides here on Crosswalk, John blogs on JohnShore.com.
- 2008 Sep 15
My vision hooked shut
A blaring symphony of cells
Look: Separated,
I have again summoned up this scintillating,
antiquated carving knife
its tip clicked off
the stains of sins past now rusting its dull
feathered edge
its handle cracked like nerves thirsting
It is this I use.
It is always this I use
to penetrate my chest
look (don't) :
I force the knife
which yields softly, which
envelopes the blade like pig putty and blood
Screaming I
push again
my arms live for me now
and they push again
twisting this edge past my mighty
blanched ribs
until the blade touches
of all things
my heart
but I do not stop there
for I am no laggard
I know this process
is about endurance
I cut
I saw

Woman, 64, offers burly thief a fierce fight for her purse
Toker, 64, a native of Argentinian who became a U.S. citizen in 1998, said she didn't think of the possible danger to herself when she tussled with the robber over her purse. Afterwards, her two adult daughters, she said, weren't happy about what she did, telling her that the man could have had a knife or a gun, and no purse was worth her life.
The robbery happened about 10:40 am. Thursday. Toker, who is separated from her husband and whose only income is her monthly $475 Social Security check, was walking to the Currier Institute of Art, her woven brown bag accented with a large bow in a dark brown and white giraffe pattern tucked under one arm. In her other hand, she carried a paper tote containing all her personal and financial papers.
The robber took off running with her purse and Toker ran right after him. She caught up to him in a nearby alley where he had stopped and was rummaging through her purse. He had her purple wallet, one she bought for herself on her birthday 10 years ago, and was tearing through it.
He shoved her to the ground, but Toker still kept trying to get her property back. The purse, she said, contained her life: the cell phone with all the numbers of her children and friends; a wallet with her daughters' photographs; the $2 lucky bill she had carried for years; and very little money because, she explained, she really doesn't have any.
Toker recovered her pocketbook, which also contained her eyeglasses, and her cell phone, which was undamaged in the incident. The wallet is torn, but still useable, although she would like to get a new one.
He had short dark hair, was clean-shaven and wore a red T-shirt, black shorts and light-colored tennis shoes.

Singing as if life depended on it
After noticing its persistent presence on my Facebook newsfeed for multiple days, I caved and watched the three minute video of Naomi Feil, a Jewish woman, singing Christian songs to Gladys, an elderly woman with Alzheimers. While singing "Jesus loves me" and "He's got the whole world in his hands," Feil affectionately strokes Gladys' face, matching her volume and pace to the intensity of movement and emotion expressed by Gladys, who is unable to speak. At the end of the clip, Gladys, through a soft but clear whisper, actually...read more
Your scapegoat "pacifism"
Dec. 12, a deputy editor of First Things, Matthew Schmitz, posted a rather unusual piece: "Our Partial Pacifism." It starts out with the bold statement, "I am inclined to blame pacifism for our embrace of torture." I say it's an unusual piece because it took me numerous readings and conversations with a number of (pacifist) friends to figure out just what Schmitz was trying to get at in his brief post. My initial reaction was confusion. I was profoundly bewildered as to how one could connect the dots of a claim...read more
Time for a divorce ceremony?
I've been to a lot of weddings in my life. But I've only been to one divorce ceremony. It happened a few years ago. I was visiting a Mennonite church in Pennsylvania. Near the end of the service the pastor asked the congregation to stand to read a "blessing of separation" for two members whose marriage had sadly come to an end. As a congregation, we read a litany that invoked God's blessing on the former couple as they went their separate ways. It was sad occasion, yet hopeful at the same time. Later, I was told that this couple had...read more
The wordlessness of God
Imagine if this coming Sunday your pastor got up at sermon time and said the following: "After diligently studying Scripture and searching the Spirit this week, I'm here to report . . . there is no message from God. Thus saith the Lord." There is no salary for the pastor this week. Thus saith the church oversight committee. The problem Jeremiah faces is as old as religion: people putting their own words into the mouth of God. They are signing God's name to their own vision of the world. They're ascribing their interpretation of...read more
Jesus was tortured to end all torture
I grieve over torture. I grieve not only for those subjected to abuse no human being should be forced to endure. I grieve not primarily as an American citizen who feels ashamed of the morally bankrupt national leadership that authorized and promoted the practice. I grieve not just as an individual who is personally appalled that supposedly civilized people could bring themselves to deliberately inflict prolonged and terrifying pain on helpless captives. I also grieve as a Christian minister who hears brothers and sisters in Christ voicing...read more
Advent as "God's time"
Time. We never seem to have enough of it, and yet it dominates us, ruling our days and how we view and spend our hours, even our very lives. Time was Professor John Swinton's theme when he spoke a couple of months ago at Canadian Mennonite University's J.J. Thiessen lectures. He talked about how there are two different understandings of time. One is time as viewed in our capitalist culture, something with economic value as in an hourly wage, perhaps best summarized by the phrase "time is money." This kind of time is all about...read more
Ten ways Christmas is still relevant
Angels, flying reindeer, and virgins giving birth — oh my! You might be forgiven if you didn't think Christmas was still relevant. But before you discard this venerable holiday and her celebrators into the trash bin, let's take a closer look. Because if you can resist interpreting the story long enough to actually hear it, you might agree with me when I say Christmas is as relevant as ever. The real miracle to celebrate isn't anyone's virginity but the fact that the story still matters. I'm stunned at its workability and capacity...read more
Maintaining peace, withdrawing from MC USA
A paradoxical way to unite a deeply divided Mennonite Church USA popped into my mind. It happened one morning as I was memorizing and praying Paul's prayer for the church (Eph. 3:14-21). One question looms large in our discernment around same-sex attraction. Where should the authority lodge for a congregation's missional and pastoral decisions around the question of same-sex attraction — in the conference or in the congregation?
