~Everlasting Friendship~
I forgot the importance of friendship
I forgot the strength that it can hold
I forgot about all the promises
And I walked away from it all.
I forgot what it meant to be happy
I forgot why life is meant to be sad
I forgot why I always tried so hard
Why I walked away with empty hands.
I forgot why I was loved
I forgot why I was cared
I forgot why I was hurting
And I only made it worse.
I forgot those special moments
I forgot the talks we've shared
I forgot everything that you mentioned
And I almost end up dead.
I forgot my friends and family
I only thought of myself
But am I really happy?
To lose them…
Hurts more than death.
I forgot why I avoided the topic
Why I averted meeting your gaze.
I forgot how everything really started.
And I am trying to make amends.
I only forgot for a moment
That you will always be my friend
And even if everything is over
Our friendship will never end.

I have just started to learn C++ so i am reading books that gives examples to help me get good. I am readng Introduction to Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 by Ivor Horton. In one of the first examples he explains how to make crossword puzzles. While half way through i built the project and 5 errors showed up. When i clicked to see what the errors are a header file i never seen before poped up. The file is really long and i dont know where it came from. If there is any way somebody can help me that would be great.

...program you have to include a whole bunch of code...that header is some of that code.
To elaborate on this statement sometimes when you include files and then you use these identifiers in your code but use them incorrectly, VC++ will give you an error response when compiling. Some of these messages are along the lines of "...error using blah. See definition of blah" and when you click on that it takes you to the definition. It is important to understand that there is nothing wrong with that portion of the code, but rather the way you are trying to use it in your code.
I''m not saying that there isn''t bugs even with the code that ships with VC (or any other compiler ) but you''re better off not changing any other source code that came with your compiler, libraries, etc unless you really know what you are doing. At the very least make a copy of the file before your change it. On the other side of that coin, it''s a real good way to learn.

text: Conservation - YOU Can Make A Difference! Why Should You Conserve? Conservation can be defined many ways: The preservation of resources through efficient and careful use. The intelligent use of natural resources for long-term benefits. The wise use of resources to provide the greatest social and economic value for the present and future. Energy conservation is something we all can participate in, and is an important part of UAH's Energy Management program. Conservation has long been considered the "least-cost" energy strategy. For students, a significant portion of tuition, housing, and meal expenses goes towards supplying the University's energy needs. Faculty and staff are also directly impacted by the University's energy expenses - high energy costs mean fewer dollars available for salaries, research, and equipment. Energy conservation does more than simply save money - it reduces environmental and social costs as well. Energy conservation lessens adverse environmental and social impacts of energy production and consumption. Effects that we can help to reduce through conservation include: air pollution; water pollution; global warming; loss of wilderness areas; dependence on foreign energy resources. Energy conservation extends the lifetime of equipment and significantly reduces maintenance costs. Equipment can operate fewer hours and at less than full capacity. Most building, electrical, and heating/cooling equipment is usually rated to operate for a number of hours in its lifetime. If this equipment can be operated for eight hours a day, it will last three times longer than equipment that is operated for twenty-four hours each day.

A Note from Eliza
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
January 2015
For unto you is
born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
Familiar words to us, especially at this time of year.
Especially so in the voice of Linus, perhaps, as he reminds us that
"that's what Christmas is about."
Yet the words are so familiar that they lose some of
their sense of awe. Unto us is
born the Christ.
Christ is born.
Like any one of us.
With about as much fanfare as any of us; Christ had angels singing to
shepherds, we have emails and Facebook posts to friends and family.
It's just another part of the story, the birth of this
baby whose life and teachings we know.
But it's not just an add-on to the "important part"
where we learn to be good disciples.
The birth narrative isn't just a sweet back story; it
speaks to more than just our desire to see cute toddler pictures of our
favorite celebrities.
Jesus was born, like all of us were.
Mary swaddled him, as many of our parents did, because it calms and
soothes babies to be wrapped tight... and it should mean something to us
that Jesus needed to be calmed and soothed, like any of us.
That Jesus knew hunger, and teething, and growing pains, and the
awkwardness of puberty. It
should mean something to us that Jesus knew the love of family and friends,
the grief of loss, the uncertainty of day-to-day living.
It should mean something to us that Jesus, like us, had a body - with all its feelings, all its failings - a body that needed to be cared for, with all the same things that our own bodies need.
It should mean something that Jesus was born, God
incarnate. God made flesh.
God, looking like us.
But the incarnation should not simply mean something to
us during Christmas and Epiphany, as we think about the infant Christ.
God-in-a-body is not an idea we should confine to the baby Jesus in
his manger - although that is a comfortable, adorable thought, and it is
easy to see God in the face of a tiny baby.
God was not only in a body when that body was cute and snuggly and
full of new-baby smell.
God was still in a body - still incarnate in Jesus -
feeding the thousands on a hillside with a couple loaves of bread and a few
fish. God was still incarnate
when the blind man was given sight, and the paralytic walked, and the
bleeding woman was cured. God
was still incarnate when the disciples were told to feed, and house, and
clothe, and visit "the least of these" - as though they were feeding and
housing and clothing and visiting God's own incarnate self: the self that
still required food, and shelter, and warmth, and company.
Bodies matter to God - to the God who has had a body,
and knows what it is to be in a body.
Bodies matter, not just when they are infants, but at all ages, and
in all forms. Bodies matter, not
just at Christmas, but throughout the year.
As we move away from the Christmas season, and Linus'
words recede in our memories for another year, let us try to keep our focus
on the incarnation; on the recognition of God's incarnation and Jesus'
humanity. Let us try to keep our
focus on caring for one another, not only in mind and spirit, but in body.
Let us comfort one another, as Mary comforted her baby.
Let us care for one another through the difficulty and awkwardness of
growth and transition. Let us
feed one another, and shelter one another, and visit one another.
Let us continue to care about the incarnation.
Let us continue to care for the bodies that surround us each day.
Let us continue to care for the Body of Christ, not just at Christmas, but
throughout the year.

"A voice cries out, 'In the wilderness prepare the
way of the Lord...'" - Isaiah 40: 3
We are already into this season of Advent, this time of
preparation for the promised Light, the promised presence of the divine
walking among us. We are in this
time of darkness - and for us in the northern hemisphere, that darkness is
not metaphorical. In this time
of mid-afternoon sunsets and long cold nights, preparing for the light seems
entirely natural.
Yet often, we seem to prepare for the coming of the light by illuminating our world all the more. Not only do we turn on our living room and kitchen lights, but we run lengths of twinkling bulbs along the outsides of our homes, we put real or electric candles in our windows, we add illumination to our streets and public venues.
I wonder: when the light comes into the world, will we
even notice?
The old proverb holds that a journey of a thousand days
begins with the first step. What
is that first step for us, as we begin to prepare the way of Advent?
What is the first step, as we get ready for the coming of the light?
Perhaps it is simply to notice where we are; to recognize ourselves
in a darkened world.
I would invite you, during the coming weeks, to be more
aware of the darkness, and how you respond to it.
Where possible, lower the lights in your house - use dimmer bulbs, or
take one or two out of a multi-light fixture.
Eat one or two meals per week by candlelight.
What do you notice about your pace, about your comfort?
Are there new shadows, or sounds that are more noticeable?
If you live with others, does the increased darkness change how you
relate to one another? What is
it like to live with more darkness?
What is it like to wait for light?
Of course, the light which we await is not a physical
one. Yet the practice of
noticing the darkness, of understanding our reactions to it, can make us
more aware of the other areas of darkness in our lives and in our world.
The practice of awareness reaches beyond our daily lives, into the
practices of our community and our relationships to the world.
May our preparation in physical darkness turn our hearts to the
preparations we make in spiritually- and emotionally-shadowed places, and
make us ready for the divine light that has come, and that will come, to
illumine our way.
For "the people who walked in darkness have seen a
great light; those who dwelt in the land of deep darkness, on them has light
shined." (Isaiah 9: 2)
Let us prepare, let us be ready for the light, for the
presence, that will soon be with us.
Peace and blessings, Eliza

November 2014
Let us give thanks!
Sometimes, November is a hard time to be thankful, at least for those of us in northern New England. November loses the bright beauty of fall, and reminds us that the long, cold winter is soon upon us.
And still: perhaps this makes it the perfect time to reflect upon all the reasons we have to give thanks.
For me, this inevitably starts with the church. No, really. For the blessing of being able to look out, on a Sunday morning, or a Monday or Tuesday evening, and see your faces – the sight inevitably makes my heart swell with joy. For the many simple, quiet acts of kindness that exist among you - we've heard about some of them in our Stewardship moments on Sunday mornings, but there are so many more that probably even I will never hear about. For the care that you take of one another in times of need, the immediate response to crisis that nearly always finds a way to help. For the prayers that you lift every Sunday, that demonstrate time and again the love you hold in your hearts.
But I give thanks for more than just who you are. In the past weeks, there has been rich discussion in the church around the hopes and dreams we have for our community, and I find myself giving thanks for who you see yourselves becoming. I give thanks for the hearts and hands and minds that seek to extend the love of God beyond the walls of this building. I give thanks for the understanding that Church is not necessarily a building, but the presence of disciples, doing God's work in the world. I give thanks for the many ways that we do use this church building for ministry, and the care with which so many tend our property.
Let us give thanks, for these and so many other reasons. Let us recognize the great good that this church does. Let us recognize the love that is present in this faithful community.
Let us give thanks, and let us respond appropriately. Let us acknowledge all that First Church is; all that it is called to do and to be... and then let us put our hopes and dreams, our thoughts and our prayers, into action. Let our thanksgiving, our gratitude for love and ministry, prompt us and encourage us to continue and increase our ministry. Let our thanksgiving - our gratitude - push us to a faithful and loving response for all we have received, and all that we might still do.
Let us give thanks, and in our thanksgiving, hear again our call to be the Church: to make our prayers, our dreams for ministry, a reality.
Peace and blessings, Eliza

October 2014
It's been an interesting
month in my family. For the
first time, we're having to juggle two jobs and two children, and the
associated childcare needs. This
will get easier, as the routine gets established, but we spent the better
part of several days on the phone, figuring out the gap between the start of
a job and the beginning of formal childcare.
Which family members could come in for a day, or two?
Who could be on-call, just in case?
Who will do the school drop-off, who'll do pick-up?
It's a lot of details,
made harder by the importance of the task.
Our children are precious, and we want the care they receive to be
good, even if it's just being walked to school.
We are lucky.
Our families are able to fill a lot of these gaps, in the next days
and weeks. But it's also
reminded us that "family" is not necessarily a designation of blood or
marriage. Family is love, and
trust, and community.
And sometimes, as a
member of this congregation recently reminded me, it's church.
This church is much like
a family, for better or for worse.
We joke and squabble with each other.
We offend and forgive.
Sometimes we appreciate one another, sometimes we put up with one another.
Sometimes old hurts rear their heads in new situations; sometimes old
offenses get inherited. But we
are there for one another - we all see it, time and again.
In illness, in grieving, in rejoicing, in celebration, the church
shows up. For funerals and
baptisms, the church shows up.
We show up because we
are family, despite everything.
We show up because we are church.
But sometimes we need a
reminder. Sometimes, showing up
feels like work - supporting each other, being present with each other,
takes effort and time. To take
the time to write a note to the member you haven't seen in a while; to make
a phone call when you know it will probably make you cry; to make
arrangements to bring a meal, or to take someone to an appointment... all of
these take precious time out of our already busy days.
To show up for other people's children - working in the Nursery or
helping in the Sunday School - takes us away from the corporate worship that
so many of us value.
It's easy to say, "Oh, I
don't know her all that well," or "I wouldn't know what to say on the
phone," or "Well, it's not my children in Sunday School."
All of those statements may well be true.
But we are still called to show up.
We are still called to be family.
We show up, because
somehow, it is enough. It is
enough to be present, telling people how valuable they still are - even
though they are absent from church, even though we do not know them well,
even though they are still children.
It is enough to use our gifts - running errands, sending notes,
making meals, doing crafts - and to bind ourselves again in the love that
makes us family. It is enough to
show up, for those who are not related by blood, but who are equally God's
I would encourage you,
as the momentum of the church year builds and our routines become
established, to take a good look at how we are present for one another in
this church. How are we being
family to one another? How are
we caring for one another? Who
is writing notes to those on our prayer list?
Who is caring for the youngest members of our community, teaching and
helping and playing? There will
be a lot of details and it may take a lot of work.
But our children are precious.
Our family – our church – depends upon us.
I would encourage you -
and all of us - to show up, whether or not you think you know what you are
doing. And by God's grace it
will be enough.
Peace and blessings,

September 2014
Sometimes, it's
wonderful and easy and comforting.
The days when it's pancake breakfasts and awesome choir music and the
chance to spend time with cool people.
The days when we're in need of grace and love and kindness, and know
that we'll find it in this community.
The days when it's familiar Christmas carols and joy-filled Easter on
a frozen hillside and laughing as the pastor gets stumped one more time by a
Children's sermon.
I love those days.
Even the stumped-by-a-kid-during-worship part.
I love those days
because those are the ones that get us through the times that aren't easy.
The times when we are called to speak and act in ways that go against
the prevailing culture - to speak out for non-violence, to speak out for
fair working conditions and living wages, to welcome into our community the
stranger, the outcast. The times
when we come face-to-face with uncertainty as to how to proceed: when we
struggle with financial decisions, when we consider changes to our worship
services, when new ideas spring up for mission or outreach.
The times when we disagree with one another.
Christianity is hard,
sometimes, because it asks us to live in community.
Even when we are unsure. Even when we disagree.
Disagreement is not,
itself, a failure of community.
It is in how we deal with difference, how we deal with disagreements, how we
interact with one another that we demonstrate our faith.
Do we listen to one another with open hearts and open minds?
Do we seek less to "win" an argument, than to bear witness to one
another's hurt, one another's fears, one another's hopes?
Do we speak our truths openly and honestly, trusting that this
community has room for our doubts, our questions, our dreams?
Christianity is hard,
because it calls us to hear one another, even when it makes us
Christianity is hard,
because it calls us to welcome one another - baggage and all - even when
we'd rather not.
Christianity is hard,
because it calls us to love one another as we would be loved, even if it
breaks our hearts.
But how much sweeter are
those good times - the laughter and the support that we find in this place -
when they are built on a solid foundation of honesty and openness and love?
How much more do we understand the darkness of Advent or of Lent,
when we have walked together through the shadows of difficult times, and
arrived, as a loving community, into Christ's light?
Let us be Christ's disciples, in darkness and in light. Let us be the Christian community that we are called to be, loving and beloved, building one another up and holding one another close, secure in God's care for us all.
Peace and blessings,

August 2014
Luke's Gospel recalls
Jesus' first time preaching in a synagogue, after his baptism.
He went back to his hometown, to the people who had raised him and
knew him, and preached on the prophet Isaiah.
Isaiah, who, like all of the biblical prophets, had spoken truths
that no one really wanted to hear - not just words of comfort to a people in
search of God, but words of rebuke, and words that called the people and
their leaders back into a right relationship with God.
When Jesus preached on
Isaiah's words, he was run out of town.
Run out by his own people, for speaking uncomfortable truths.
Uncomfortable truths
abound in our scriptures and in our faith.
Often, they are couched in a comforting message: Love your neighbor
as yourself... But who is our neighbor?
The one you despise. The
one you would never let near you.
The one you think isn't even entirely human.
Love that one as yourself.
Christianity is a faith
both of comfort and of discomfort.
We should certainly take comfort in God's abiding presence with us,
in God's grace that holds us up no matter how often we fall.
We should take comfort in the assurance that we are beloved
no matter what.
But the very fact that
we need that reassurance - that we need grace - should keepus at least a
little bit uncomfortable. The
fact that Isaiah's words, and Jesus' preaching, still call us back to
discipleship; the fact that we continually need to be called back to
discipleship, should make us uncomfortable.
We are called to a love that does not come naturally to us.
We are called to love beyond the barriers that human beings so often
erect to exclude and dehumanize one another.
We are called to love beyond race, class, sexuality, gender,
nationality, mental health, employment or housing status, and religion.
And yes, that makes us
Sometimes our call can
be so uncomfortable that we are willing to remake God in our own image; to
put our own prejudices on God and justify our fear, our unwillingness to
love - to see every person we encounter as worthy, as made in God's own
image, just as they are and without changing.
Sometimes our call - to
love as God loves - can be so uncomfortable that we are willing to act with
malice to protect our own sense of who God is, and who God loves, and who
God considers worthy. To
vandalize symbols of a love that extends beyond our own, beyond the
boundaries that are of our own making.
To secure borders and boundaries and demonize those who would cross
them; those who seek our love and our compassion.
We still need Isaiah.
We still need Jesus. We
still need the prophetic witness that calls us to a greater love than we
feel capable of.
And then we need to
respond. The call of
discipleship requires us to respond.
Not by running the prophet out of town, as the people of Nazareth
did, but by bearing witness ourselves to the power and depth of God's love.
By becoming a prophetic witness in our own right, trusting in God's
presence and grace. By not
allowing God to be made over in hateful human form.
By being the persistent voices that remind the world that God's love
extends beyond all that we can possibly know, let alone understand.
Bearing prophetic
witness is hard, as Jesus learned quickly.
Speaking love, and grace, and peace, to a fearful world is a
challenging call indeed. But the
opportunity to love those neighbors who have often heard nothing but hate
preached in God's name is not one we can ignore.
The opportunity to open our hearts to the injustice that so many
children of God endure on a daily basis leads us all the more deeply into
God's love and presence in this world.
This world is hungry for
love. For all the risk and
sorrow that our prophetic witness may bring, there is so much more love and
support. For all those who would
run us out of town, there are so many more who will keep us safe, patch up
our scrapes and bruises, and carry our prophecy and God's love even further
into the world. For all the hate
in this world, there are many more who are desperate to hear our witness of
enduring and abundant love.
Let us continue to bear
witness, my friends. Let us
continue to speak aloud God's love, and let us not be silenced.
God is still speaking!
Let us do likewise.
Peace and blessings, Eliza

July 2014
There was a day recently on social media when it seemed as though everyone I knew was in the worst possible mood. No matter what the subject - church, politics, children, life - there was nothing but complaining, whining, name-calling, meanness, and pessimism. Although I turned it all off for a good chunk of the day, that sort of negativity can really stay with you, and I found myself in a rotten mood. So I put an idea out there, to the internet:
For every mean thing you say about someone,
find something kind to say as well.
For every institution or injustice about
which you are whining and complaining, tell us what concrete action(s) you
are taking to make the situation better.
The answer to the idea?
Negativity is viral.
Say something snarky or cutting?
You'll get retweets on Twitter and likes or shares on Facebook.
Say it in person, you'll get laughs and affirmations.
You'll be rewarded for your "wit".
The conversation will build, it will stir passions, it will get
exciting, it will be fun.
It may be more "fun" to
speak negatively, to complain about the problems of the world and be able to
blame someone for them. Negativity and snark speak to something within us;
there is a reason that the media - print, televised, or social - plays so
often to angry soundbites. It's
easier, certainly, to call a politician names than to comment on her policy
choices; to say "He is a jerk", suggesting there is something inherently
flawed about a person, than to say "his actions have hurt me", separating
the person's entire being from certain actions we find distasteful.
It's easier to speak in generalities, but we damage ourselves in the
process. We create an "other", a
"not-me" that we don't have to like, let alone love.
We can dehumanize a person, write off their worthiness to be heard or
even acknowledged. But by doing
this, we cut ourselves off from one another, and from the God who is most
present among us in relationship.
What if we put as much
energy into finding the good in each other, as we do into demonizing one
another? What if we put as much
energy into love as we do into anger?
It's not easy, but discipleship isn't supposed to be. It might be less fun, less popular, less entertaining. But it might be a worthwhile challenge for us. Because in forcing ourselves to look for the good in people, we are forcing ourselves to see even those who hold opposing viewpoints as children of God. We are forcing ourselves to maintain relationship with those whom we might rather write off entirely, to remember that although we disagree, there might still be points of agreement, or even respect.
What might happen, if we
made the conscious decision to get off the negativity bandwagon, even just
for a month? Who will take the
Peace and blessings, Eliza

June 2014
When I was initially
called to First Church, a friend and colleague asked me what it was about
the church that I loved so much.
Among other things, I mentioned the sense of energy that I had felt in the
congregation; the sense of wanting to do more than simply gather in worship
on a Sunday service. You have
always been, in the time I've known you, a church of vision, and of
discipleship, and of compassion.
Now, after a couple of
years of discernment with you, and many conversations that didn't seem to go
anywhere at the time, things are beginning.
We have spent the past couple of years imagining our path forward,
and planting the seeds. Now the
first sprouts are showing. We
are beginning to poke our heads out of the four walls of First Church, out
into the community. Some are
doing it with specially-made t-shirts (and more should soon be available!);
some with rakes and shovels; some with planned gatherings in homes and
public spaces. We are coming to
a place of remembering that the church is not as much this building, as a
gathering of people encouraging one another on the way of discipleship.
Yet I would remind you:
the first sprouts in any garden need careful tending.
They need nourishment and warmth.
They need our attention and energy, which asks more discernment of
us. The task force that has been
focused on this question is doing a lot of that discerning, but we all need
you, as well. Let us know where
your passion lies. Let us know
what you do well - organization? details? sewing? cooking?
gardening? publicity?
Stranger things than that have been helpful in the life of the church!
And, as new programs
arise and new ideas circulate, we ask your tender nurture of this new
growth. There will certainly be
ideas that don't flourish, but let it not be because we weren't willing to
tend them. Even when we are
unsure about the ideas, even when it seems like nothing is growing, let us
trust in the thought and careful planning that has been going on, and in the
desire that we all share to do the work of discipleship in this community.
Let us trust in God to use us to bring the love that this world so
badly needs.
Because what I sensed in
you at the beginning is something that I now know to be true: you are a
church of vision, and of faith, and of discipleship.
None of that can be contained within a building: rather, let us be
the faithful members of the Body of Christ that we are all called to be -
both in the church and in the world.
Peace and blessings, Eliza

Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord,
when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave
you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and
welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw
you sick or in prison and visited you?" And the king will answer them,
"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are
members of my family, you did it to me." -Matthew 25: 37-40 (NRSV)
This is a familiar passage to many of us, and often cited as a favorite. Here, in the midst of a long passage on judgment and redemption, is a call that many of us find compelling: to serve Christ by serving one another. We give to our food pantry and serve in soup kitchens because the Body of Christ is hungry. We put our old clothes in the Planet Aid box, or give to coat and sweater drives, because the Body is naked, cold, and exposed. We try to care for each other as though we were caring for Christ, as though we were caring for God's own self among us - which, indeed, we are.
Yet often, we care in ways
that keep us distant from each other.
We give of our "stuff" - our money, our possessions, even our time
and talents - in ways that do not put us into direct relationship with "the
least of these". We fill a
container every year for Zimbabwe, but do we take the time to include our
letters, our prayers, our questions for the people we're serving?
Do we know who they are, do we hear their stories? Do we allow them
to teach us, to serve us, to ask us questions in return?
In the ways that we
serve, both the global community and the local community, do we create
lasting relationships? Do we
consider those to whom we donate food and clothing to be of one Body with us
- in interdependent relationship with us?
The question goes
deeper, even, than the Gospel writer takes it.
For where we leave off, in that parable, with recognizing Christ when
we serve humanity; God picks up and pushes further.
For if the well-being of each of our bodies is dependent upon the
well-being of all of our bodies, it follows that the well-being of all of
our human bodies is dependent upon the well-being of this Creation.
In What Are People For, Wendell Berry puts it succinctly: "God made the
world because He wanted it made. He
thinks the world is good, and He loves it...
If God loves the world, then how might any person of faith be excused for
not loving it or justified in destroying it?"
Rather, we are called to be in relationship with "the least of these":
the ecosystems that hunger for clean air and thirst for clean water; the
creatures made sick by our relentless drive towards convenience consumerism
(both in the manufacturing, and the thoughtless discarding, of disposable
products); the people and systems imprisoned by our quest for ever-more-scarce
resources - you might ask our Zimbabwean partners about the diamond and gold
mining that occurs in their nation.
Peace and blessings, Eliza

April 2014
Do you remember your
first time?
I doubt it.
I don't.
Like so many of you, my
parents first took me to church when I was a very small child - in my case,
about two years old. Some of my
earliest memories are of sitting in the pew - pretty much the same one every
week - and looking at the bulletin, or the hymnal, or the people around me.
I remember my father's finger, tracing the line of the hymn so that I
could follow along as he sang. I
remember watching the adults around me bowing their heads in prayer, and
sneaking glances to see if I was doing it right; trying to anticipate when
everyone would stand for the hymn so that I wasn't the last one up.
I learned the rituals
and unspoken rules of the church as many of us did, at the side of a patient
teacher. Long before I reached
adulthood, the rhythms of the service - standing, sitting, bowing head,
finding the hymn - had become second nature.
It's hard to imagine it
any other way, isn't it?
The church, to many of
us, is our comfort zone. No
matter what gets preached, no matter how weird the hymns that your pastor
chooses for that Sunday, there is a familiarity about what we do that is
comfortable and soothing to many of us.
It's hard to imagine, sometimes, that it might be otherwise.
There is a benefit to
sitting where I do: I can see you all every Sunday morning.
I can see the church gathered in worship, singing and praying and
listening as one Body. There are
many Sundays when I wish you could see it, too, for there is something very
powerful in our gathered congregation, moving together through the familiar
rituals of worship.
And there are Sundays
when I wish you could see it for the parts that aren't familiar, and aren't
moving together.
More frequently than
not, anymore, there are new faces in our worship service.
Some who grew up with church rhythms and bulletins and hymnals and
standing and sitting... but many who did not.
I wish you could see them.
And I rather think they wish you could, too.
Because that which is so familiar, so comforting, to us is new and
strange to some. Just as we once
did, they need a patient teacher to guide them through the things we do
without ever thinking about it.
They will remember their first time, and just how it felt. They will remember, and we will be The Church in that memory. We will be God, in that moment.
We talk a lot about
being the hands of God in the world; bearing the light of God, bringing the
Kingdom of God out of our walls and into the larger community.
But in so doing, we should not neglect that which happens within our
walls, in those who are brave enough to venture in, hopeful but unsure of
what they will find.
I look at you, on a
Sunday morning, and I can see God present in our worship.
Even, sometimes, holding a hymnal and tracing the line of the hymn.
Peace and blessings, Eliza

There seems to be a lot
of handwringing in mainline church circles about the decline of the church.
There have been books and articles written about why we're in decline
and who is to blame. There are
those who bemoan the secularization of our society as prime culprit - if
only kids didn't have Sunday morning activities, they'd be in church!
There are others who lift up the mega-church,
all-in-one-inclusive-package as the impossible standard against which the
average mainline Protestant church can never measure up. Another, that I
mentioned in a recent sermon, mentions the exhaustion factor of a theology that
requires us to think constantly and be self-critical.
There seems always to be the enumeration of all that we've lost, all
the people who are missing - the young people, the young families, the
recent empty-nesters, each cited as a source of decline and decay in a
formerly strong, stable institution.
A lot of factors justify
all this handwringing, I'll admit: average Sunday attendance is down in
almost every church where I've ever worshiped.
Sunday School attendance is down.
Pledges are down, often significantly.
Antacid sales are skyrocketing among those who are in charge of
church finances.
The thing is, however,
that measuring church by these metrics is a little like measuring your
child's growth only as pencil marks on the wall.
Height is a valid measurement, but it tells you nothing about the
sparkle in his eyes as he tells a story, the awe of overcoming
seemingly-impossible challenges, the simple acts of maturity and
responsibility that gradually (one hopes) replace the temper tantrums.
Height is easy to quantify, certainly, but it tells an incomplete
When I look at our
church - whenever and however we are gathered - I do not see decline.
I see the numbers - in
attendance, membership, financial giving and antacid sales -
and those speak of areas of both hope
and struggle for us right now.
But there are other metrics, far less quantifiable, that tell me clearly
that ours is not a church in decline.
I see children, excited to be in church, asking the questions that we
need to hear. I see a strong,
thriving ministry among the families of our church, who are teaching each
other about covenant and community.
I see long-time members sitting with first-time attenders, living
into our promise to be a welcoming church.
I see a group of people who are not content with a Sunday morning
faith, but who are pushing for ways to be disciples in the world.
I see the Body of Christ, holding one another up in sorrow and in
joy, loving despite difference, seeking after the health of the whole.
I do not see decline.
Not in our church. And I
don't expect to see it anytime soon.
It's time to ignore the
culture of fear that tells us we are declining. It's time to change the
narrative, to talk more about how we seek to live our faith in authentic
ways. New ideas are percolating
about how to live out the ministries and missions of First Church outside
our walls. At the same time,
we're seeking ways to better utilize our walls - this historic building - to
serve the needs of the community.
We must live, not in fear, but in hope.
We must live in the promise of God's providence and grace, the
promise that reminds us that our church is so much more than numbers on a
Let these be the
standards by which we are measured: by the love we show to one another and
to our community. Whether we are
two or two hundred or two thousand, if love is our metric, First Church will
never be in decline, no matter how much handwringing goes on around us.
Peace and blessings, Eliza

Just wanted to put in a quick thank you to everyone...
Thank you all so much!
To the Deacons, who are working overtime, coordinating pastoral care and
worship planning.
To all the fantastic pastors who have led, and will lead, worship. God's
Word continues to be spoken!
To the church staff, who are probably finding their jobs simpler without
my interruptions, distractions, and crazy ideas.
But mostly, to all of you, who are the church: you have wrapped my whole
family in prayer and love, while still giving us the space and time to rest
and relax together. We are so grateful to be a part of this community.
Peace and blessings, Eliza

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
Some of the most hopeful words of the Gospel, as we dwell in a time of light.
This may not seem like a particularly "light" time of year; it's still pretty dark when the alarm goes off, and dark well before many of us are sitting down to supper. Although the days are getting longer, it will still be a while before we'll notice much of a difference.
But in our Christian tradition, the time of waiting, of wondering, of wandering in darkness is over. Christ's light is present in the world, just beginning to shine in the hearts of shepherds, angels, a few animals, and a couple of very tired parents. God is present in human form, to banish the shadows in which we so often find ourselves living. And the light does not end with Christmas - even if we make it last for twelve days! After Christmas, the church enters the season of Epiphany, marked by the arrival of the Magi, guided by yet another source of light. Epiphany: the time of understanding, of clear-sightedness. The time, in the midst of a bleak, cold New Hampshire winter, when we are reminded to remain turned outwards; to be open to all that is beyond our own warm, well-lit spaces, out there in the darkness and the cold.
Which doesn't sound like hope, but like a thankless, super-human task.
But we are also reminded, at this time of year, that light
attracts light. It was the light
of the angels that drew the shepherds on to Bethlehem, to bear witness to
the birth of God's light. It was
the light of the star that drew the Magi out of Persia to find the home of
the one whose light would continue, long after the star had disappeared from
the night sky.
And it is the light of that one, whose birth we have just celebrated, who nourishes the light that we carry. It is for the sake of that infant light that we step boldly into the shadows, extending our hands and our hearts to those who have so long lived in darkness. And we do so with hope: that our light might shine in the darkness, and that we will tend that light well, renewing it as needed and sharing it far and wide, so that the shadows - of fear, of pain, of ignorance, of hatred - shall not overcome it.
The light is in the world. The light is in each and every one of you, and the shadows tremble because of it. In the cold and dark of a New England winter, you are God's hope in this world. Thanks be to God!Yours in Christ, Eliza

15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil which we did to him." | 15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?" |
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, | 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, "Your father left these instructions before he died: |
17 'Say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray you, the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.' And now, we pray you, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." Joseph wept when they spoke to him. | 17 'This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.' Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father." When their message came to him, Joseph wept. |
18 His brothers also came and fell down before him, and said, "Behold, we are your servants." | 18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. "We are your slaves," they said. |
19 But Joseph said to them, "Fear not, for am I in the place of God? | 19 But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? |
20 As for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. | 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. |
21 So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones." Thus he reassured them and comforted them. | 21 So then, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your children." And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them. |
22 So Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. | 22 Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father's family. He lived a hundred and ten years |
23 And Joseph saw E'phraim's children of the third generation; the children also of Machir the son of Manas'seh were born upon Joseph's knees. | 23 and saw the third generation of Ephraim's children. Also the children of Makir son of Manasseh were placed at birth on Joseph's knees. |
24 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die; but God will visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob." | 24 Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." |
25 Then Joseph took an oath of the sons of Israel, saying, "God will visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here." | 25 And Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath and said, "God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place." |
26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. | 26 So Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt. |

One fine day, it hit me that I am not going to reap any benefit if these people will not take me seriously or will not value me at all.
Now, this problem gave birth to another question:should I quit what I am doing currently or create a plan to reach up in their priority chain??

Poll shows divide over update casino
LOUDONVILLE - A new Siena Poll was released Monday night showing that some divide still remains when it comes to the topic of a casino in upstate New York.
The poll says that 44% of those polled in the Capitol Region are in favor of the casino. 40% of those polled are opposed to it.
In the Catskills and Hudson Valley region, 48% said that they are in favor of the casino.
The poll also stated that voters viewed traffic problems and increased crime as the biggest disadvantage of a casino in the area.
Those who voted said that local job creation and tax revenue for local governments would be the biggest benefits.

Whole Foods plans first Irving store in Las Colinas
Whole Foods Market has been on a roll with new store announcements in North Texas. Today, the Austin-based grocer said it's working with Dallas developer Leon Capital Group to open its first store in Irving.
The 45,000-square-foot store will anchor a new 85,000 square foot shopping center at the southwest corner of President George Bush Turnpike (State Highway 161) and North MacArthur Blvd. in Las Colinas.
It's the first Whole Foods in Irving.
Will Tolliver, managing director of Leon Capital, said the shopping center will have high visibility along 161 and MacArthur with commuters to the many corporate offices in Las Colinas.
Construction on the shopping center will begin this month and the store is scheduled to open by fall 2016. It's on a 12-acre site.
Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne said residents and businesses in the area "repeatedly requested" that Whole Foods be recruited by the city. The Greater Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce and the Las Colinas Association were involved in getting Whole Foods interested in the property that had to be rezoned.
Whole Foods has been aggressively expanding its North Texas store count in recent years and now has 10 stores in the Dallas area. Another five stores, including this one announced today, are in the works.
Here are the opening dates for previously announced stores in development:
– Uptown Dallas at McKinney Ave. and Routh St. in summer 2015
– Frisco in the Forum at Wade Park at the Dallas North Tollway and Lebanon Road in fall 2015
– Fort Worth at Bryant Irvin Road and Arborlawn Drive spring 2016
– Richardson in the CityLine development at Plano and Renner Roads in spring 2016
– Irving at State Highway 161 and MacArthur in fall 2016

Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Greek retail sales may drop 30 percent in the 2011 Christmas shopping season as growing unemployment, tax increases and wage cuts crimp shopping budgets, a Greek business group said.
Under an "optimistic scenario," sales would drop 22 percent from a year earlier while market signals show a 30 percent decline in holiday spending to 9.3 billion euros ($12.3 billion) from 13.2 billion euros in 2010, the National Confederation of Hellenic Commerce said in an e-mailed statement from Athens today. Christmas sales fell almost 20 percent last year from 2009.
Average individual budgets for Christmas gifts will fall to 288 euros from 410 euros the year before, the group said, basing its estimate on annual private consumption and household disposable income estimates from the Hellenic Statistical Authority and sales figures from previous years.
Successive rounds of tax increases and cuts in wages and pensions have deepened a recession now in its fourth year, with the Greek economy set to contract 5.5 percent this year and 2.8 percent in 2012, according to next year's budget. The unemployment rate jumped to 18.4 percent in August from 16.5 percent the month before, data released on Nov. 10 by the statistics office showed.
Christmas shopping in Greece tends to start in the second half of November.

I've recently painted the interior of our newer construction home a taupey-greige and we are having new painted white baseboards, window casing and wainscoting installed. Furnishing are neutral and I like to add color via seasonal accessories. I do have a few red accents and we've ordered this large red cabinet for our living room. I am also thinking of this console table for our entryway. The problem I'm having is that our front door is an eggplant color. I like the color and it works with the exterior siding and small amount of stone, but it clashes with the red. And it bothers me that the exterior color scheme will not be in harmony with the interior. The front door is being replaced and so I can change it, just not sure what to change it to. Here is the from of our house, the photo was taken pretty late on an overcast day amd looks quite dark. I'd say it isn't that dark in real life, but perhaps something brighter would be better. We are going with a more craftsman style door and we could do a wood door with a stain, although it would be more expensive. I think I'd prefer to have a painted door. I like black doors, but it would be too dark and I think I'd like something more colorful. Any suggestions? Or should I not worry about the exterior door color vs interior color scheme? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think a color pulled from your stacked stone would look nice with the exterior, and go well with the interior. |
Paint the inside of the door a color that goes with your foyer. Leave the outside eggplant. |
What other colors are you using with the red on the interior? You should be able to pull another color from your interior colors to use on your door. Looks to me like there are a few colors that would look good with your exterior siding. From what I can tell, I think the eggplant color looks fine but Internet pics can fool ya. Maybe you just need to adjust the eggplant color. |
Right now there's not much color inside. Walls are a light greige, floors are mostly a rustic pine with a medium, slightly gray tone. There's a large espresso leather sectional and the wooden pieces are a light walnut sort of color. Soon I will be painting the kitchen cabinets a putty color, maybe a sort of gray-green, not sure. I have a few conifer botanical prints up over the sectional. There's no other artwork except for a wedding photograph, which is basically black and white. I will be putting up more b&w photos in the foyer. The red furniture will be the most colorful pieces in the home. And to me the red clashes with the exterior door color. Does it matter though? It kind of bothers me, but I don't know. I'm not even sure what color to change the front door to anyway. Here are some more shoots of the front door. As you can see it needs to be repainted, but we are probably going to replace it with a nicer door anyhow. Here's the living room, it's very neutral. The red cabinet is going where the yellow post-it's are. Hopefully we will be redoing the fireplace surround. Carpet is being replaced and the trim will all be replaced with larger, white-painted stuff. The floor plan downstairs is very open. And as you can see everything is very neutral. But the red cabinet will be bold. I'd like the exterior color scheme to reflect the interior somewhat and since the eggplant clashes with the red I don't think it works. |
In that case, I would just paint it the same as the new cabinet and put some rusty red flowers out in the front this spring. |

I suggest painting the exterior of the front door black. |
- Posted by technicolor (My Page) on Sun, Feb 17, 13 at 11:04
Love the cabinet. If you could get paint samples to match, then paint your door an eggplant with same color tint, it might work. If you really love the eggplant. Or a browner eggplant to blend in with your furniture. Oddly the pic frames appear to lean towards eggplant. Is there any other items in your home eggplant? Also, when you get your new door, you may completely change your thoughts on color. |
What color is the interior side of the door, and why are you replacing the door? I don't think the color of the exterior matters, mainly because I don't see that cabinet as red but as a dark wood tone. If the interior side of the door is eggplant, then yes, I'd paint it another color.....maybe the same color as your trim, or the color of your other interior doors. |
I LIKE red and purple together! And since the door is not going to be standing in the room in close proximity to the red, I wouldn't give it a moment's thought: |
The front door and the large red cabinet will not be in close proximity. But if I get the console tabLe it will be very close. If I open the front door you will see the eggplant exterior and the red console table at the same time. I'm not sure about the console table as I think it is kind of expensive for a table like that, but I like the storage it offers. Here is what you would see if I get that console table and open the front door I think they clash. The interior of the front door is painted white and the other interior doors are currently an awful faux maple wood tone but are being replaced and will be painted either the white trim color or possibly a soft black. I may paint the interor of the front door the same black color. |
Well, if the cabinet color is true online, then you're right, they do. Why don't you wait and see if you get the cabinet and, if so, what the color looks like in your space, then paint or replace the door if it does clash. I think you could find a purple that would work with that red, though. Or for something different, look at that little pop of turquoise on the cabinet shelf :-) |

Environmental science, math, and art team up! Find out how much of the Earth is water and how much is land. Students make a globe to show what they know!
The earth is a very wet place. Share maps with students that show where water is located in their community, country, and planet. Students look at a globe to find the world's largest bodies of water. Ask students where that water comes from and to identify the continents. What if all continents were pushed together? How much of the planet would be water? What fraction would be land? Estimate, then have students research to find out what other scientists have calculated.
Students create a new globe to show what fraction of the planet is water. Smooth Crayola Model Magic® over a crumpled foil ball to create a sphere. Air-dry the Earth overnight. To keep the globe from rolling, balance it on a paper cup.
Cover the painting area with recycled newspaper. Use blue Crayola Premier™ Tempera Paint to cover the fraction of Earth that is water. Paint the remaining fraction green or brown to stand for land. Air-dry the paint.
Add Crayola Tempera Mixing Mediums to create textured effects on the globe. Paint Pearl It! over blue areas to create the effect of shimmering water. Mix Texture It! into green or brown paint. Dab textured paint onto land areas to make peaks and bumps. Air-dry the globe.
Students will be able to feel how much of the planet is water and how much is land just as easily as you can see it!

Anyone have a fix? I have a consultant using R2012 that's not using any Annotative features: we are.
We send him files, he sets CANNOSCALE to 1:1 for his needs, all our blocks/text/dimensions/mleaders etc. shrink down.
- SAVEFIDELITY is not applicable here.
- -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD is no go, he has R2012 remember.
- DXFOUT is no go either, no matter how far you save down.
- BEDIT each block would take forever. Text and dimstyles a little easier but still manual.
- PROPERTIES doesn't cut it with blocks.
- CHANGE command>Properties>Annotative doesn't really work either.
Since there is no roundtrip need with those files, I wrote a quick and dirty lisp to BURST all the blocks (and reset the styles) for him then purged the files. But one day I guess I will need to do it better.
Open to ideas that work for you.
Who is working for who here?
Looking at this from a management standpoint, rather than technical....
Can't the "boss" firm set the rules (contract terms) and make the other party adhere to the these standards?
If he's not using annotative objects, why does he care what CANNOSCALE is? If he just leaves it alone it should be all right, shouldn't it?
That's the challenge: they XREF our files into theirs, and they set CANNOSCALE to 1:1 in the top file. All our blocks shrink by default. I suggested the same thing but they seem to rigid in the office drafting standards (and rightly so of course).
Any answer in how to change a Associative block to Non-Associative? I have a similar circumstance and the only thing I can think of is to replace all 100+ blocks.
Are you still looking for a solution to change Annotative block to Non-Annotative without exploding or replacing the blocks?
I have a solution using BatchInDatabase tool wihich is being updated now and is it possible to give me a sample file to check?, if so that would be great.
Here you go. It has a series of Annotative blocks connected to each other.
I have attached the result drawing and batch status, Could you please check and let me know the comments?
some good and some bad. I'm going to reattach the file because there was some cad junk on it. Look for the magenta block lines come off the UD line at 90 degree angles. The UD is an underdrain with a stormline attached at 90 defrees, with an existing inlet at the other end.

is that SGEs lead to antagonistic co-evolution with other components of the genome. Important features of eukaryotic genomes (e.g., DNA methylation, RNAi, small RNA regulatory pathways, R-M systems) have evolved, at least in part, as defense mechanisms against SGEs. Many genetic elements have mixed phenotypes, with both selfish (parasitic) and "beneficial" ("mutualistic") features. The classic example is the mitochondrion, which is clearly beneficial but also shows selfish features (e.g., cytoplasmic male sterility) that reduce nuclear gene fitness, thus leading to genetic conflict. Evolutionary dependency can also evolve in hosts with ubiquitous SGEs, which can lead to irreversible dependence. Growing evidence supports a significant role of SGEs in eukaryotic development and speciation, and possibly also in extinction of species. Genome domestication of SGEs leads to evolutionary innovations, including acquisition of new genes and gene regulation from TEs, heritable microbes (e.g., Wolbachia), and selfish plasmids. Safe havens can promote longer associations of SGEs with host lineages and also may facilitate their domestication. Finally, distinctions are made between the evolutionary consequences of SGEs and the factors that maintain them over evolutionary time. Clear formulations of the idea of evolvability as a means for evolutionary maintenance of SGEs will facilitate rigorous testing of this idea. Nevertheless, current evidence strongly supports the view that SGEs are maintained by their transmission-enhancing phenotypes and that evolutionary innovations emerging from them are a consequence of their existence rather than the cause.

I still have many, many more...so I'm busy making salsa and slicing some to eat,etc...and the rest I will freeze for cooking. Beca~ |

Hello Bill and Beca, Thinking you might be as tired of those bamboo posts on top also I have tried a theory of how to get them down and on their way into oblivion. I think that the reason they stay on top is because they have never been responded to. Imagine posting a thread on a busy day (not likely on our forum) and then having it disappear off the front page before anyone gets around to replying. In order to keep this from happening they stick around on top until they are responded too. At least this is what I think. Usually you bump a post to bring it to the top but I just bumped these to get them off the top. If that is really how it works than this post should be on top because it is posted minutes after the others were bumped. Beca stop talking about your tomatoes:) I'm afraid to go into my greenhouse and see all the damage on my plants after all my water storage and heating pad ideas just weren't enough. Well I have two spindly things in the house, maybe I'll try potting them up in something bigger and bringing them out in the morning and in at night. Some of us will do anything for a decent tomato in the winter, and we don't have fifty pounds sitting around in boxes, baskets and every other container we can find waiting to ripen. Maria |

Maria, You're a genius. Well compared to me, that is - for what it's worth LOL. I just looked at this forum, and noticed the bamboo posts dropped back down a notch. Yay! Now we need more posts to prove to whoever that this forum is a keeper. |
Well Galllie (trying to sound like Gomer Pyle here)Maria....... I will "try" to not talk about my tomatoes (much anyway)....LOL. Beca |
