Burray is one of the Orkney Islands in Scotland. It lies to the east of Scapa Flow and is one of a chain of islands linked by the Churchill Barriers.
Geography and geology[edit]
Burray lies between Mainland, Orkney and South Ronaldsay, and is linked to both by the Churchill Barriers. Barriers 1, 2, and 3 connect Burray with Mainland, Orkney via the islets of Glimps Holm and Lamb Holm in Holm Sound to the north east. Barrier 4 links to South Ronaldsay, across Water Sound. To the west is the tidal island of Hunda, also joined by a causeway. Further west, across Scapa Flow, are the islands of Flotta and Calf of Flotta, approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) away.
In 2001, the population of Burray was 357,[7] a total that had grown to 409 by 2011.[2] The main settlement, Burray Village, is a former fishing port on the south west coast. There are also settlements of Northtown, Southtown and Hillside on the island.
Burray is made up of old red sandstone of the Devonian period.[3] The island is indented in the north west by Echnaloch Bay, which takes its name from Echna Loch. Burray Ness and Burray Haas are two headlands in the east.
Visitor attractions[edit]
Attractions in Burray include the Fossil and Heritage Centre at Viewforth.[8][9]
The island has a reasonable amount of birdlife, with not just gulls (herring and lesser backed) breeding here, but curlew.[3]
Sir James Stewart[edit]
During the early 18th century, the laird of Burray was one Sir James Stewart. Stewart is said to have been involved with a murder in Kirkwall in 1725, and went on the run for twenty years. A Jacobite sympathiser, he ended up fighting in the Battle of Culloden in 1746, and was one of the few survivors. However, when he returned to Burray after the battle, he happened to chance upon the son of the murder victim, who reported him to the authorities. Stewart was arrested, and ended up dying in a prison cell in London.[3]
The novelist Mary Brunton was born Mary Balfour on Burray on 1 November 1778.[10]
WWII and construction of Churchill Barriers[edit]
On 14 October 1939, the Royal Navy battleship HMS Royal Oak was sunk at her moorings within the natural harbour of Scapa Flow, by the German U-boat U-47 under the command of Günther Prien. U-47 had entered Scapa Flow through Holm Sound, just to the north of Burray, one of several eastern entrances to Scapa Flow. The eastern passages were protected by measures including sunken block ships, booms and anti-submarine nets, but U-47 entered at night at high tide by navigating between the block ships.
To prevent further attacks, the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill ordered the construction of permanent barriers. Work began in May 1940 and the barriers were completed in September 1944, but were not officially opened until 12 May 1945, four days after the end of World War II.
The Churchill Barriers project required a substantial labour force, which peaked in 1943 at over two thousand. Much of the labour was provided by over 1300 Italian prisoners of war,[citation needed] who had been captured in the desert war in North Africa, who were transported to Orkney from early 1942 onwards. As the use of POW labour for War Effort works is prohibited under the Geneva Conventions, the works were justified as 'improvements to communications' to the southern Orkney Islands.
The prisoners were accommodated in three camps, 200 at Camp 60 on Lamb Holm[11] and the remaining 700 at two camps on Burray itself.[citation needed]

Voluntary or mandatory?
Some parents ask: Who draws the line for summer sports camps?
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Craig Everybody wants to win.
Coaches, players, parents - everybody involved in sports wants to taste victory.
But at what length will a parent, player or coach go?
The numerous sporting camps conducted by Moffat County High School coaches this summer raised question among some parents about where the line should be drawn between voluntary workouts in the off season and mandatory practice.
Lori Mann, mother of a graduated MCHS athlete, was the only parent interviewed for this story who commented on the record in opposition of the various off-season voluntary workouts.
She said she felt that a lack of a presence at "voluntary workouts" meant a decrease in the chances of her child making a team.
"I feel like it's too much," Mann said. "They don't enjoy their summer, because they feel obligated to go to all of them."
Article 23, Rule 2300.2 of the Colorado High School Activities Association handbook states: "No coach or school representative may directly or by implication direct a student to participate in competition outside of the competitive season as a condition to participating or otherwise influencing a student's opportunity to participate in any school sport."
MCHS girls volleyball coach, Brianna Montgomery, has put her team of summer volunteers through two camps this off-season, a move she said is geared toward getting the girls up to speed.
"Coaches, of course, strongly encourage these camps," Montgomery said. "I can't make any of these camps mandatory, but I do tell girls that I think that it is critical for them to be at these camps and that it's critical that they put the time in during the summer.
"If they don't want to come and they don't want to work as hard as everybody else there is - voluntary without being asked to - then they don't even need to be there."
CHSAA Assistant Commissioner Bert Borgmann said he's sees a few violations each year, but has never had a negative report or complaint filed against MCHS.
"Coaches basically can't say, 'If you want to make the basketball team at Moffat County High School, you have to play all year with us.'" They can't say that.
"They can't make that mandatory."
Borgmann said proving an infraction occurred is difficult.
"Basically, the school would have to help us with an investigation," he said. "But, in most cases, most people have a clear picture of what's right and what's wrong."
The Bulldogs football team hosted two voluntary camps this summer, a third is ongoing and a fourth camp begins Aug. 4.
"By no means do we tell players they have to attend a voluntary camp," football coach Kip Hafey said. "If you want to be a part of the Bulldogs football team, you better be at the mandatory practice Aug. 11, but all the other stuff we've been doing is totally voluntary. We encourage them to go, but we don't tell them they have to."
Borgmann said coaches who violate rules place the team and other teams within the program at risk of a CHSAA disciplinary action, such as probation or even a suspension of playoffs for a school year.
But, for that to happen, a report has to come from the school first.
Rick Penner, first-year MCHS Athletic Director, said he believes the coaches know what they are doing, and he trusts they are able to create a definitive line between voluntary and mandatory.
"They know what's good for the athletes and the team," Penner said. "Everything that we do is governed by CHSAA. I commend our coaches for putting in the time to make all these options available to athletes to get better. In season and out of season, they take the time to work with them.
"They all know the limits they have to stay within, and I'm confident their experience and knowledge guarantees they are following the rules."
The question not only lies within football and volleyball but arises in other sports, as well.
Cross country coach Todd Trapp instilled a voluntary once-a-week team meeting for his runners, during which he answers questions and hands out three-week training routines that can be worked on in runners' spare time.
"To be successful in any sport, especially running, you have to do some kind of summer training," Trapp said. "It's the best way to keep the team motivated. If you workout in the summer, you will definitely feel the benefits. I'm not saying you can't be successful if you don't, but it's harder work to get back into shape."
Of the coaches interviewed for this story, each said voluntary practices are there to give the athletes an opportunity to excel.
And, most of the time, athletes present at voluntary off-season workouts are the athletes who generally have the most success.
So, it's left up to the athlete on how much work he or she chooses to put in, coaches said, and the workouts are an outlet for them.
"In my view, you almost have to show up at the summer practices," Cena Carlson, mother of an MCHS athlete said. "Not because the coaches are telling them they have to, but because of the level of competition. If your kid is playing against a kid who has been working all summer, your kid better be working hard all summer, too.
"If they love their sport, they will do whatever they can to get better."
Mandatory practices for each of the six fall sports teams - boys golf, cross-country, rodeo, football, volleyball and boys soccer - begin Aug. 11.
Until then, it's practice if you want.

Kip Hafey said. "If you want to be a part of the Bulldogs football team, you better be at the mandatory practice Aug. 11, but all the other stuff we've been doing is totally voluntary. We encourage them to go, but we don't tell them they have to."
It goes without saying if you want to be a starter and active player then the voluntary is like the military volunteer program. "You, You, and You are volunteers"

This is nothing compared to what teams that win State Championships do. Berthoud last years 3A State Champs play in football leagues all summer and travel to several 7on 7 passing tourneys as does teams like Rifle and Palisade. Palisade practices and lifts weights 4days a week all summer and guess what they will kick our butt this year like always because they have kids that are getting better all summer not just with a few camps.Coach Hafey and the other coaches mentioned give our kids the opportunity to get better but still allow them time to enjoy their summer. But hey how about having the MCHS coaches offer nothing in the summer it will give you a reason to complain that our coaches now aren't providing enough opportunities for our kids.

And what about the rancher or farmer that is relying on his son to help on the ranch so he doesn't have to hire someone to keep his work caught up? Oh too bad your child isn't good enough to get that scholarship to go to college.
grannyrett 6 years, 6 months ago
dented-When my parents-ranchers- had kids in school, they didn't have time for sports any time of the year. We worked out digging post holes, bucking bales of hay and fixing fence. Didn't seem to find time in there for sports. We also didn't sit around and whine that we were bored. Didn't have time for that either.
focus152 6 years, 6 months ago
dentedfender and granny I agree with you both, I dont want us to have programs that require our kids to be there all summer like the Palisades, thats why only having a few camps like football does gives the kids the option to go if they want. Check out last years program the football team started 5 sophomores last year and they had 12 Seniors out which is more than most 3A schools I really believe these coaches are playing the kids they feel as a staff have earned the right to start, you dont start just because you are a Senior.
Ray Cartwright 6 years, 6 months ago
Focus, I too, don't want the programs that run all summer. Unfortunately the mindset at least when I was involved was that if you didn't participate during the summer you wouldn't, either have a place on the team or sat the bench. Henceforth the possibility of a scholarship was out of reach.
oawow 6 years, 6 months ago
It doesn't matter if it's volunteer or mandatory; if you don't want to practice, then don't play. Practice is part of being in a sport, that's how you get better, that's how you turn good players into great players, and that's how you win games. The ones who do attend the practices are the ones who want to win and improve them selves, and those are your players. That's why the coaches have summer practice for those players, you can't teach discipline and work ethic. The reason Palisade beats Moffat County is because the want to be there and practice, they welcome the time to get better, not complain about it. Every player on a team wants to win, but does every player want to contribute?
It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference.- Bear Bryant 1913-1983, American Football Coach

Republicans have accused Democrats throughout the 2012 election of stoking a "class warfare" by pushing a proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy, for making a campaign issue of Mitt Romney's tax returns and for demonizing his career in private equity.
The Republican tactic in the class war they accuse President Obama of stoking has been one of non-aggression.
"Sowing social unrest and class resentment makes America weaker, not stronger," Rep. Paul Ryan said in October 2011. "Pitting one group against another only distracts us from the true sources of inequity in this country"
But Romney's comments to a closed – and he thought unrecorded – fundraiser in May come at the class warfare from the other side of the fight. Romney conflated the 47 percent of Americans who do not pay income taxes with the portion of the country who would never vote for him.
Watch the viral Romney fundraiser videos.
At the fundraiser, Romney was trying to explain his strategy; how he has to appeal to the small percentage of people whose opinions can be changed. But the recording makes it seem as though he has real disdain for the people who oppose him: "victims" who are "dependent" on the government. And they're all people who don't pay income taxes, he said.
People who don't pay taxes, he implied to the room full of people paying $50,000 to help his campaign, vote for Obama. People who do, by extension, would vote for Romney.
Romney called the 5-month-old comments "inelegant" at a hastily called news conference in California – in between fundraisers – Monday night. But he didn't walk away from them.
It's not entirely true, of course. Many of the lower income people who don't pay income taxes still pay payroll taxes to the federal government, sales and state taxes at home, gas taxes at the pump. Others of the 47 percent simply don't have a job and might pay capital-gains taxes.
It was about a year ago, at the height of the Occupy Wall Street movement, that Romney said the protests were a dangerous form of class warfare.
"I think it's dangerous, this class warfare," he told a questioner at a retirement community in Florida in October 2011.
That was in contrast to his own argument, one of an America unified by its economic system. He had a run-in with an Occupy protester asking him what he'd do for the "one percent." His campaign promoted the video of Romney becoming agitated with the protester.
"Let me tell you something: America is a great nation because we're a united nation," he said in South Carolina just before the primary there in January. "And those who try and divide the nation, as you're trying to do here and as our president is doing, are hurting this country seriously.
"The right course for America is not to divide America and try and divide us between one and another. It's to come together as a nation. And if you've got a better model, if you think China's better, or Russia's better, or Cuba's better, or North Korea's better, I'm glad to hear all about it. But you know what, you know what, America's right and you're wrong."
Class warfare was a major talking point at the time, not just regarding the Occupy protests, but also because Obama was vocally pushing the Buffett Rule, his proposal to raise taxes on people making more than $1 million, as one element of dealing with the federal deficit.
"You can call this class warfare all you want. But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense," Obama said during his State of the Union address in January.
He called simultaneously for delaying an end to a payroll tax cut for people who make less money. Watch that here.
Republicans have complained, accurately, that targeting the rich with new taxes wouldn't, in itself, solve the budget problem and also that it pitted one layer of the socio-economic strata against another. Democrats have countered that raising taxes will have to be part of the cure.
The issue will continue not matter who wins the presidency as the country faces a "fiscal cliff" that pairs the end of Bush era tax cuts and automatic spending cuts that will affect both the Pentagon and domestic spending programs.
Among the Republicans who most vocally equated the Buffett Rule with a kind of class warfare was Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee. This was long before Mitt Romney had secured the Republican nomination and long before Ryan was being considered as his running mate.
"Pitting one group against another only distracts us from the true sources of inequity in this country, corporate welfare that enriches the powerful, and empty promises that betray the powerless," Ryan said, accusing the president of a 'politics of division" in a speech to the Heritage Foundation later in October 2011.
Meanwhile, some conservatives on the right are applauding Romney's "inelegant" candor in the videos.
"This election poses a choice for voters: Do you want a country dependent on government programs and handouts, or do you want a country with an economy that produces good jobs and returns America to a higher standard of living?" said Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator of Tea Party Patriots in a statement, calling Romney's comments an opportunity to have a necessary debate on government dependence.
"We need that guy on the campaign trail," Redstate.com's Erick Erickson tweeted of the comments in the surreptitiously recorded tapes.
But if Romney is to appeal in the next 49 days to the 5 percent or so of voters that he believes could get him to 50.1 percent and a victory, dismissing 47 percent of Americans as dependent, government-addicted victims could land him squarely into the "politics of division" that Ryan decried a year ago.

On Saturday, February 14 (from 5:30-9:00PM), our Grace Fellowship WOCA ministry will host "Parent's Night Out". THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THIS EVENT. If you plan to attend, please let us know how many children you are bringing. The deadline for registration is Wednesday, February 11. Also, please PRINT AND FILL out a MEDICAL RELEASE FORM and bring it with you! We will have extra forms available at the church, but it will save you some time if you go ahead and have it with you.
Our Women's Thursday morning Bible study will resume Thursday, January 22 at 9:15 in the Grace Community Center. We will be studying James. Get your Precept workbook, or "In and Out" (less intense) workbook from Precept online, or just study on your own and join us for discussion. Childcare will be provided.
We are excited to announce "IMPACT", the new name for Grace Fellowship's youth ministry! In the past David Swinney has served in the role of our Campus Outreach Pastor, but will now transition into his new role as Pastor to our Youth. In fact, his vision for "Impact" will significantly follow that of Campus Outreach, meaning that it will focus primarily on discipleship. Dave says "Impact is pretty much going to be like a little CO. We will not be like traditional youth groups in the sense that activities and events will not take precedence over God's Word. That's just not who I am. I want to see dynamic small group interaction taking place, as well as life-on-life training".
This is not to say that there won't be events. The calendar is pretty impressive. He has laid out some unique and fun ways to involve our students.
Regarding the name for the ministry, "Impact", Jordan and Anna Weathers, and Dave sifted through various names before landing on that one. He said, "We were intentional in choosing that name. As we researched names we came across some really bad ones. "Impact" was a unique name for us because of what it would mean for our ministry in particular. First and foremost, we want our students to be impacted by God and His Word. Secondly, we want them to impact the people around them, their family and friends. That's what we want this to be about."
"Impact" will also serve as the name of our Wednesday night student meeting times, which will occur bi-monthly. Our first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 14 at 6:30 in the Community Center. The first meeting will be for all students and parents. There will be a catered meal and time set aside to discuss vision and the year's calendar.
The current plan is to host a big activity for our students about once a quarter. Our first big event, January 30/31st, is a weekend that will focus on teaching and discipleship (much like a d-now weekend). The most pivotal event of the year will be a Summer Camp at Shocco Springs, scheduled for June 25-27. During the summer months there will also be service projects and fun summer outings.
We hope that every family will take advantage of this new beginning at Grace Fellowship. It is our prayer that God will use this ministry to strengthen our families, spiritual mature our young people, and end the end our prayer is that God will be glorified in everything we do through "Impact"!
A new year is coming. In some settings, that suggests the formulation of New Year Resolutions, most of which are forgotten or abandoned in short order. The resolutions may be honorable, necessary, and even life changing — if actually implemented. But those resolutions aren't usually shared with anyone other than one's spouse, if even that. In other words, we are going to try to change old habits by exercising our own strengths and disciplines with a Lone Ranger attitude. The question is, why do we wait until the new year? If habits or activities need to be changed, why haven't we already taken the necessary steps to accomplish the change? And why do we not follow up on the resolutions that we do make? Could it be a lack of belief and accountability? The attitude that "nobody knows about my resolutions and whether or not I keep them, so what difference does it make?"
That's just one of the many issues we'll address in the new Men's Ministry to be led by Chuck Wood in 2015 and beyond. The overall objective of this ministry will be, among others, Sharing, Accountability, Bible Application, Outreach, and Training Ministry — SABOT Ministry, for short.
We'll hold our initial meeting on Saturday, January 3, 2015 from 7 AM to 9 AM, and follow with the same presentation/issue discussions on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 from 6 PM to 8 PM. Thereafter, we will follow this same sequence, i.e. (repeating the issues/discussions on Wednesday that were addressed on Saturday). This is so that those unable to attend on Saturday mornings will hopefully be able to attend on Wednesday evenings or be able to attend one or the other as your schedules allow. For your planning purposes, we will be meeting on the first and third Saturday and Wednesday of each month. All meetings will be held in Grace Fellowship Community Center, unless otherwise advised.
]]>Grace Fellowship is a local church that seeks to glorify God as a part of His Church universal. His glory is the ultimate motive behind everything we believe, teach, practice and represent. We seek to glorify Him by loving Him and growing to know Him greater in His true essence and nature, as revealed by His Word, the Scriptures. We also seek to glorify Him by loving others, being used of Him to bring them to know Him in growing relationships and to minister them in His Name.
We might summarize who we are by saying that we are Bible-based and Christ-centered, with strong beliefs in God's Sovereignty over all things, and His grace in all things. We believe that the Church universal is in need of a modern day Reformation, and that each local church should have a confession of faith accepted by all leaders and participants. We are best described as somewhat Reformed in doctrine, Baptist in practice and evangelism, and Presbyterian in discipleship and local church structure.
Regarding our ministries in the church, we believe that they must relate to the scriptural purposes of the church. In general, these Biblical purposes should glorify God, help His children grow, or produce good for all people. In other words, we desire to be used of God in his particular graces for His own children and in common graces for all people. We also believe that truth takes precedence over tradition, people over programs, and spiritual success (fruit) over secular success (numbers). Therefore, all of the ministries and activities of the church should be designed, operated and reviewed for His church.
Regarding our corporate church services, it is common for us to publicly confess different aspects of the 1689 London Baptist Confession, a sola statement, or an ancient church creed. Although we typically use a liturgy, we try not to be too "wooden". Liturgy doesn't have to be dry and boring!
What are some of the characteristics that you will find at Grace Fellowship? You will find an emphasis on God's transcendence and yet His imminence. He is far greater than us and yet He is near. You will see an appreciation for both the ancient and the contemporary, the new and the old. You will (hopefully) experience depth, but not rigid formalism. You will experience a value for God's Word and yet a dependance on His Holy Spirit. You will sense a respect and fear of the Lord, all the while being able to relax.
We encourage you to join us this Sunday for corporate worship at 10:15!
]]>First of all, speak with your pastors about your desire. The Bible speaks (in Galatians 6) of sharing all good things with those who lead you. Missions would certainly fall under this category. Your pastors should know that you have the desire for a mission endeavor. Seek their guidance. Your pastors are entrusted with the responsibility of making sure that those within their flock are protected. However, they cannot protect you if they do not know your plan. Too many Christians seek out an opportunity prematurely, before seeking any counsel. At times, Christians can end up yoking themselves with organizations who do not share their values or doctrinal convictions.
Your pastors, at Grace Fellowship, want you to be on mission. However, we want your experience to be the best experience possible. We have a few organizations that we highly endorse. There are others that our members have investigated that we think helpful. We have, unfortunately, have had members who had very negative experiences with various missions organizations. We want to help you prevent such catastrophes. We know that anyone who puts in the effort and work to go on mission evidently is wanting it to be productive and go well. Therefore, let us help you find the right organization.
We want you on mission, whether at home or abroad. If you choose to go abroad, which we hope you do, we encourage you to contact us. Let us help you find the right organization, talk about your goals, your desires, and how you should go about raising support. We do require any member seeking missions support through Grace Fellowship to meet with us first. This ensures that the church is endorsing your particular opportunity, which is biblical and vitally important as you move forward.

Dear Grace Fellowship,
Greetings from South Texas. Though we are far in distance you are never far from my heart. Often I listen to the sermons on Hebrews you are hearing Sunday mornings, and I remember you. I pray your souls are growing in truth and faith more and more, as you seek the face of Jesus through His eternal word.
The Lord has been faithful, so faithful to provide for me through your faithfulness to give to Him. I have witnessed the Lords abundant giving through you and pray even now as I write this that He would bless each of you abundantly in return. Thank you for your testimony of sacrificial giving.
Maybe some of you are considering joining me on the front lines. Consider it highly. I am finding it to be a great gift. What a great privilege it is to represent each of you at Grace Fellowship for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the unreached in Mexico. I look forward to potentially representing you again in other countries more closed to the gospel of Jesus in the future. I feel certain that I am the most blessed missionary because of your partnership, encouragement, guidance, care, and support.
We will be studying through 2 Thessalonians this week. So I will leave you with encouragement to pray that the word of The Lord would speed ahead in Mexico and my heart as well while I train at To Every Tribe for long-term missionary service. And may each of us constantly be directed to the love of God and steadfastness of Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:1-5
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
All Glory Be to Christ,
Jill Rae, your hands and feet to the unreached
We want to help make this journey a little easier for adopting families. God does not call everyone to adopt a child; but everyone can help these orphans through prayer and the giving of resources to help ease the financial burden of the families that God has called for His purpose.
Would you think about financially supporting Micah's Hope? No gift is too small. Monthly gifts would go a long way in bringing more children home!
With so many families needing assistance in covering the high costs of international adoption, Micah's Hope is in need of financial donations. Please make checks payable to "Grace Fellowship" (attach a note indicating your donation is for the "Micah's Hope Adoption Ministry") and mail to:

]]>We seek to do Kingdom work. We believe that part of our mission as believers in Christ is to be a blessing to the communities in which God has placed us. In relation to Jesus' words from Matthew 25:31-46, we believe that we are called to ministries like giving food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, welcoming strangers, clothing the naked, caring for the sick, and serving those who are in prison. Or as James described it, "religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction…" We are called to show mercy and grace to those in need.
We believe that this is the call of God upon our churches. Not only are we to care for those who are members of our churches, but we are also to reach beyond the walls of the church into the homes and organizations in our communities for the purpose of ministering in the name of our Lord. Since our individual churches have limited resources in terms of people and finances, it makes very good sense for churches to work together to serve the common good of those in our communities who need help.
We realize that there are churches and organizations already engaged in ministries to the community. For instance, there are already ministries in place throughout Calhoun County which provide food, clothing, and assistance with utilities or prescription drugs. Our goal is not to reinvent the wheel or attempt to "fix" what is not broken. Where ministries already exist, we want to encourage churches to come alongside to help and encourage.
Ignite! has a vision and plan for specific ministries to the community. We seek to develop ministries in four broad areas:
• Education – mentoring, after-school programs, encouragement for teachers, physical improvements to schools, etc.
• Family – Home repairs, landscape assistance, wheelchair ramps.
• Poverty / Justice – GED training, prison ministries.
• Healthcare – free medical and dental clinics
Some of the ministries we participate in are ongoing in nature. But we also take part in major ministry events a couple times a year. We call these events "Big Serve" weekends. Dozens of Christians from our group of churches come together to repair homes, do landscape work, paint schools, lay sod, build ramps, help tornado victims, etc… If you are interested in serving the needs of the Calhoun County Community through our "Big Serve" ministry please call or email one of the pastors.
]]>All of us have had church experiences that seemed boring or legalistic, performance or entertainment focused, insincere or superficial in worship, ministry or fellowship. One of the most common comments about Grace Fellowship has been that "it just seems real." We are thankful that God has blessed us with genuine believers who acknowledge they are sinners saved and kept only by grace. God and His Word is the focus of our worship and teaching, not people or performance. Ministry is focused on others, for God's glory, not on gaining merit, attention or something in return for the church. And fellowship is centered on Christ and the gospel, so unity and love is created by the Spirit, and not based on common secular interests, or social, economic or racial segregation.
There are many meanings of and misunderstandings about this word. "Reformed" refers to our general doctrinal (or teaching and belief) position, and refers back to the most important movement in Christianity since the foundation of the church in the first centuries. The Protestant Reformation began in Europe almost 500 years ago, and should be the defining moment for all forms of Christianity outside the Roman Catholic church. What was meant to "reform" the universal Roman church ended up becoming a revolution and a whole new branch of the faith called Protestantism. The "protest" was against the church adding things to the gospel and Word of God, and came from a strong belief in the absolute sovereignty of God above and in all things. The Holy Scriptures in the Bible alone were recommitted to as the sole authority for the church and believers. Christ and His work alone was acknowledged as the only basis for justification and reconciliation with God. Similar positions were taken on "grace alone," "faith alone," and for "God's glory alone." These five slogans became known as the "sola" (from the Latin term for "alone") statements, which were the creeds of the Reformation. We feel that all problems within Christianity today can be identified as relating to one of these foundation pillars, and that the church is still in need of a modern "reformation." In other words, we try to not "add to" nor "take away from" the gospel and the Word of God. How that works itself out in teaching, worship, living and application is the key to being really "reformed" in the love of Christ.
Again, this is a popular "buzz" word today in churches, so it is important to understand what we mean by this word also. Radical often implies a rebellious or un-submissive nature, but that is the opposite of what we mean here. With all the false gospels, erosion of Biblical authority, easy believism, cheap grace, and the focus on getting emotional "decisions" instead of truly born again disciples, it is no wonder the church in America is seen as blended into the mainstream of the culture and its worldview. Any believer or church that really proclaims the gospel, believes the Bible to be the Word of God, follows Christ in both good and bad times, makes disciples and is devoted more to a depth of life rather than a superficial "add on" to worldly living and our own desires, will inevitably be seen as "radical." Our relationship with God through Christ is a new life altogether ("born again") and should transform all other aspects of our lives, not the other way around. As the one true "faith" (God reaching man) in the world, Christianity should be much more "radical" than any "religion" (man trying to reach God)!
We invite you to come join us as we seek to be even more "real," "reformed," and "radical" in our worship of and walk with the One True Living God! More specifics or details about our beliefs can be discovered by visiting the "Beliefs" section of this website and following the related links there. Most and best of all, we invite you to come worship and walk with us! Thanks for visiting!

Dubai cargo soars in 2012
Dubai Airports announced traffic statistics for Dubai World Central that showed the airport handled 219,092 tonnes of airfreight during its second full calendar year of operations, an increase of 144 percent over 2011.
In 2012 Dubai World Central's average monthly air cargo volumes totaled 18,258 tonnes compared to 7,477 tonnes recorded during the airport's first full year of operations in 2011. Cargo transit traffic comprised 44,052 tonnes or 20 percent of volume.
Aircraft movements for the year came in at 16,317, up 99 percent from 8,198 recorded in 2011. During 2012, more than 30 airlines operated into Dubai World Central, predominantly as cargo charter operations. Of these 15 were scheduled services.
"Less than three years after its opening, Dubai World Central is fast emerging as a significant cargo airport in the region," said Paul Griffiths, CEO, Dubai Airports. "That emergence is set to continue as airlines take advantage of the airport's facilities, road feeder service to Dubai International and bonded link to the Jebel Ali port."
The flexibility in operations at Dubai World Central continues to attract new cargo operators, with eight new airlines launching services to the airport during 2012, including ZetAvia, Abakan Aiva, Silk Way Airlines, Khalton Air, Sakavia Services, Iran Aseman, Vision Air and Saudi Arabian.
An increasing amount of Dubai Airports' total cargo is projected to be handled at Dubai World Central in the years ahead with cargo volumes for both airports projected to top three million tonnes by 2015.

Assembly & memory
Hello all,
I have been told I need to process a list of 31,000 integers that are stored in memory on my computer at one integer per word. One word is 2 bytes. I estimate that 20% of the instructions are unary. I am trying to figure out how I can calculate the maximum number of instructions I can use in the program that processes the data. Note the program shares memory with the OS and my data.

What did you think? I liked it and plan to watch again. I felt sorry for the first girl but I think its a good match. Would you do it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Never!!!!! |
I think they should have made the match then let them date awhile to see if they were suited before marrying them off. Do you think they will go through with it now? |
It amazes me what people will do to be on television. Joann, do they explain why the participants feel with this odd arrangement? I can see someone who is really so unlucky, many break ups maybe a few divorces, so why not try this? Nothing left to lose. But for the average person, this just seems weird. Years ago there was a show," Who wants to marry a millionaire?" The women didn't get to see the millionaire until he chose his bride. They did get married but of course it went downhill with the bride realizing her mistake. They were divorced as soon as they got back from the honeymoon. |
They didn't explain why yet, that will be in the next show. I think they did feel like this was a last resort since they were not having any luck in the real world. They were very nice looking people in their 20-30's. Our world has changed so much its very difficult to meet anyone and online dating is the pits, so why wouldn't they try this and let someone else do all the work finding their perfect match. I do hope it works out for them. |
I had not heard about this show, but now I am curious to watch. I don't usually like shows like the bachelor, but ones like this have me curious as to why people makes such decisions. |
This post was edited by alice_sj on Thu, Jul 10, 14 at 21:20
ellendi ........... right, all those shows are quite obnoxiously humerous. Paid to fall in love. Not my kind of humor. |

The never-ending saga of the curiously towed town manager's vehicle still hasn't gone away, and since I'm occasionally accused of being guilty of sensationalism, let's get right to it, shall we?
At the most recent Castleton Select Board meeting, while the board was signing warrants at the beginning of the meeting, Roy Newton brought up the $125 tow bill the Select Board agreed to pay at the previous meeting.
The tow bill was the result of Town Manager Charles Jacien's vehicle being towed from the yard of a neighbor while parked within the right-of-way of North Road after Jacien had run out of gas near his home.
Jacien originally thought Castleton police officers were involved in the towing of his vehicle and said former Police Chief Bruce Sherwin had agreed to pay the tow bill even though it was later revealed the officers had nothing to do with the tow — the neighbor had asked for the car to be towed from the property.
But the board, having consulted with Sherwin and hearing that he did in fact say he would cover the tow bill from his budget, agreed they would honor that commitment and approved the $125 payment.
At the most recent meeting Newton told the board he thought this was a misuse of public funds and asked the board to reconsider.
"I come here tonight in hopes you'll revisit the issue of the towing bill that was authorized by you to be paid last week," Newton said. "I have nothing against the town manager. To me … this is a private matter between a citizen and the homeowners. It's not a matter for the town of Castleton to be involved in."
Board Chairman Joseph Bruno repeated some of what had been said at the previous meeting about honoring the police chief's word.
"A lot of times, this board has to make decisions we're not really comfortable with, but we're looking out for the best interest of the town," Bruno said. "The previous police chief authorized that. I called Bruno's to be sure of it. It didn't really settle very well with me and other board members. But, just to keep the town at peace, we went ahead and paid it."
But Bruno wasn't through.
He was perturbed that the issue of spending $125 would be brought back up.
"It really bothers me someone would come to this board complaining about a $125 bill," Bruno said. "It cost each and every one of us (taxpayers) 5 cents. I understand it's probably more of the issue than the dollars. I didn't hear anybody crying foul when we spent over $70,000 to pursue renovations on 556. Not one person came in and cried misuse of public funds. In my opinion, that was a much bigger case than this $125."
After getting that off his chest, Melanie Combs, a constant voice of calm and reason, asked if there would be any other expenses regarding the towing incident coming before the town.
I don't want to speculate on what Combs meant, but I know that when she asked it, the thought that jumped into my mind was the alleged damage to the car Jacien said occurred because of the tow.
Jacien has said he submitted the estimate for the damage from a body shop to the town and hasn't heard anything more about it.
Bruno said he wasn't aware of any further expenses, but if there were, "we'll have to handle them at that time."
"Appropriately?" Combs asked.
"Yes," Bruno said.
Read into that what you will.

I get a lot of compliments on this combo. I was very pleased at how smoothly these shadows apply and they stay put! The only con I have is the bit of sparkle that falls on my cheeks when I put this on.

I purchased the Flare color in this new Shadow Stick line and liked it so much I bought all the others as well. I LOVED Flare and Torch, this one, not so much. The peachy gold and olive green are definitely complimentary colors, but it's not one of my favorite color combinations although it does look nice on. I think a champagne or beige gold color would have been more pretty and practical, especially for use during the day. Plus the peach highlighter shade is too sparkly, not just shimmery like Flare and Torch which is something I couldn't see in the store. Overall I think I'll wear this for evenings out, but for daytime the colors are a bit too dense and harsh.

How big a threat is North Korea?
Q&A: Kim Jong Il's drive to make his nation a nuclear power and how that threatens Asian neighbors.
North Korea has raised the stakes on the Korean peninsula by conducting an underground nuclear weapon test Monday and subsequently test-firing half a dozen short-range missiles. The rapid sequence of events is creating a new sense of crisis in Asia and fresh concerns about the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology.
North Korea has been reprocessing spent fuel rods to produce weapons-grade plutonium at its central nuclear complex at Yongbyon since the 1980s. North Korea now is believed to have enough reporcessed plutonium for at least half a dozen nuclear warheads. Although no one knows for sure how many warheads the regime has fabricated or even where they are, North Korea has now detonated two of them. The first test, in October 2006, measured less than one kiloton, a weak blast likely due to problems with the design or materiel.
The second device was more powerful than the first, estimated at between 1.5 and 4 kilotons. That's still not as powerful as the 15-20 kiloton bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, as initially claimed in a Russian news report about Pyongyang's latest test. The speed with which North Korea exploded the second nuclear device after vowing to "bolster" its nuclear deterrent suggests that it has more bombs ready for testing.
North Korea is believed to be working to develop a warhead small enough to fit on the tip of a long-range missile. Some experts say that North Korea has already created nuclear warheads for medium-range Nodong missiles that could strike South Korea and Japan, and has stockpiles of medium- and short-range missiles.

This month DH refinished this Rocking Horse for someone to give as a gift to her granddaughter. It had originally been the son's and she asked that we make it more girlie. Typically we ONLY refinish and repair but knowing that I really wanted to start decorative painting again and fulfill my dreams business wise, DH asked if I would do something w/ it. So one night right before Christmas I started painting. It's been years since I've picked up a paint brush to decoratively paint furniture and I was really nervous but I'm pleased w/ the results. I tried to keep the head and tail similar to the original. She requested blue eyes so I did change the eyes.: |
Follow-Up Postings:
OMG!! that is just drop dead gorgeous!! Awesome details!! |
So cute! And much nicer (and friendlier) looking than the original!!! |

- Posted by laurie_2008 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 12:07
It's beautiful! That little horse looks so much happier : ) Did you need to do any light sanding prior to painting so the paint would adhere? Also, did you trace a pattern or did you paint it freehand? |

For those looking to get one last vacation in this summer, some extra cash for gas will be needed.
The nationwide average price of gas is now $3.65 a gallon, up 27 cents from July, according to AAA.
"Instead of the trip, we've got to save up just for the gas," one North Carolina driver said.
Analysts warned recently that during the next few days, drivers on the West Coast could see gas prices go up 25 cents or more.
"How do you expect people to manage?" asked Alma Edwards, another disgruntled driver.
A string of refinery breakdowns across the country have sent fuel traders into a panic and prices soaring.
And a major fire at the Chevron refinery, one of the country's largest oil refineries, is being blamed for a massive shortage.
Chevron produces 16 percent of the gas the western U.S. uses every day. Chevron officials aren't sure when the refinery will be back up and running.
"To fill up my truck, it takes me $110 every time," San Fernando resident Jose Gaeta said.
The number of U.S. refineries has also dropped from 158 to 124 during the last decade.
Those remaining have upped their production, pumping out 1.5 million barrels of oil a day, meaning one downed refinery can have a drastic impact on fuel supply.
"A lot of the reason for the increase is a lot of refining issues that have crept up all at once, as well as some pipeline problems that have surfaced in the last few days," said GasBuddy.com senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan.
"You have to give up on something because you have to go to work," DeHaan added. "You have to give up something because you've got to buy it."
In addition, Tropical Storm Ernesto has halted some production. Whatever the cause, experts say the high prices are here to stay at least through Labor Day, if not longer.

I've always wanted a "compfortable" shoulder holster. I hate the idea of buying without being able to try one one first. All my local dealers either have NO shoulder holsters or very few nylon ones in store - none of which are compfortable at all.
I so wish I could find a place I could walk into and try several leather ones on.
Anyways, this one isn't leather but looks like it might be compfortable and it doesnt' look too expensive.
I'd like to hear about it from someone who actually has or has had one before making a purchase.
Thanks in advance.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
My husband snores, plain and simple. I�ve heard that humidifiers can help with people who snore. And my sinuses get very dry in the winter months which can lead to nose bleeds and other problems. These were our reasons for purchasing the Robitussin� 1 Gallon Natural Cool Moisture Humidifier. We also like having this extra background �noise� in our room as it blocks out things like dogs barking, passing cars etc. so we can sleep more peacefully. Robitussin� 1 Gallon Natural Cool Moisture Humidifier Model DH-832 This humidifier is pretty compact in size compared to a lot of other humidifiers out there (like the Vicks products). It holds one gallon of water when it is filled to capacity and it can humidify up to 800 square feet, which is a room that measures 27� by 30�. Features: - Power Light - Easy to fill in the sink - Compact Size - Ultra Quiet Operation - Runs up to 16 hours per filling/gallon (*Gallon output per day dependent on room temperature and humidity) It also comes with a 3 year limited warranty. This humidifier has 2 speed settings, high and low moisture output. It also features what is called the �Automatic Moisture Balance System�� which means it naturally adjusts the output of moisture for maximum comfort in your room. This Natural Cool Moisture System works by sucking dry air into the humidifier�s fan and it blows out invisible and moisture-balanced air. Unwanted elements (such as minerals and bacteria) that may be in the water are trapped inside the filter. When the humidifier is on, you will not see or feel a mist coming out of the ventilation openings, but you can feel cool air coming out. But you will know that the humidifier is putting out moisture as you watch the water level in the tank decrease throughout the day or night. The Robitussin� Natural Cool Moisture Filter What�s so special about the filter? It�s designed with new technology called Healthshield�. This antimicrobial technology prevents surface growth and the spreading of mold, fungus and bacteria in the filter for approximately one season. Depending on the quality of your water, mineral deposits can still clog or cause discoloration of the filter, which can still affect the filter and the life of the humidifier. Each time you clean the humidifier, it�s recommended that you let the filter soak in cold water to help reduce mineral build up. Place it back into the humidifier when it is wet. Repeat this each time you clean the humidifier. Each time you refill the humidifier�s tank, it�s recommended that you flip the filter over to help water be evenly distributed on each end of the filter between cleanings. NEVER use HOT WATER when soaking the filter! You will have to replace your filter about twice a year (once every season change: summer and winter). Replacement filter: AGW-813 or AC-813. Cleaning & Maintenance There are 4 parts to this humidifier. The base, the water tank, the filter and a remove and rinse tray. The remove and rinse tray holds the filter. When ready to clean the humidifier, simply turn the unit off and remove the water tank. Be sure to turn the water tank upside down to prevent spills. Remove the filter and let it soak in cold water. Remove the tray that holds the filter. The remove and rinse tray and the water tank are then ready to be cleaned. The water tank has a screw off fill cap that you will remove prior to emptying, filling or cleaning the tank. You can either purchase a cleaning product specifically made to clean this humidifier, or you can use undiluted white vinegar to clean the Remove and Rinse Tray piece. To disinfect your unit, the instructions recommend using 1 teaspoon of bleach and 1 gallon of water in the water tank and also the remove and rinse tray. Let solution stand for 20 minutes and then rinse out good until the odor is gone. Our Experience & Recommendations We�ve been mostly pleased with the purchase of our Robitussin� 1 Gallon Natural Cool Moisture Humidifier. It definitely provides ample amounts of moisture in our bedroom and has definitely helped with my husband�s snoring and my sinus problems. It has not left any condensation on any of our furniture or windows, so it�s putting out just enough moisture and it�s not over-humidifying our room. I was concerned about what the moisture would do to our furniture if it put out too much water/moisture. This has not been a problem. The unit is simple and easy to operate. We usually set the moisture level on �high output� and it makes a decent amount of noise. We like the noise though, as it blocks out noises that might disturb our sleep otherwise. On the �low output� setting, it is virtually silent and makes very little noise. The only thing that is annoying about this humidifier is the cleaning and re-filling process. We clean it and disinfect it about once a month, but we have to refill it about once or twice a week maximum. Cleaning is not fun, but it�s just a minor inconvenience. If we just use it during the night everyday, we have to refill it 1-2 times per week. If we happen to turn it on some during the day, we may have to refill it even more. This humidifier is our 3rd one, and we�ve definitely been more pleased with it than the other 2 we tried. If you have any need for a humidifier in a bedroom, this one could be the answer. It�s a good buy and has so far lasted us almost 2 years of daily use! Purchasing Information We purchased our Robitussin� 1 Gallon Natural Cool Moisture Humidifier at K-mart almost 2 years ago.
