Heroes of Katrina: Ten Years After
in Writing
We are restarting our blog-radio show, "Heroes of Katrina." Several years ago, we hosted the show under the generous support of Bonnie Kaye ("Books of Excellence"), who provided support for our efforts.
We are now restarting the show under a thematic of "Ten Years After." What are the heroes written about in the book, "Katrina: A Freight Train Screamin'" doing now? How have their lives changed. What is new and interesting for them?
All these questions are important, as Katrina changed many lives in many ways...As always we provide this show to exhibit a perspective of the resiliency of the human spirit.
As the winds of Katrina blew, lives were changed. People did what they had to do...and their stories reflect the power of human and perseverance and spirit.
What better than ten years later do we explore lives affected and re-equlibrated and re-reflected.
Please join us for an inspirational and reflective discussion on the human spirit as reflected by the changes of lives.
Special Hurricane Katrina Show . 9 years later!
in Family
Join us August 29, 2014 for our special Hurricane Katrina 9th Anniversary show ...
Hurricane Katrina ... was the costliest hurricane, as well as one of the five deadliest, in the history of the United States. Among recorded Atlantic hurricanes, it was the sixth strongest overall.
Katrina was the costliest storm in United States history - with amounts over $81.2 billion. The death toll was over 1,836.
I just so happened to be named "Katrina" and this was my personal site ... little did I know that over 15 billion hits within one day of Hurricane Katrina hitting the coast would come here ... to learn ... to read ... to find help ... to offer help ... and that this website would be used as such to be a blessing to thousands of people all over the globe. We still get over 60,000 hits per day ... 9 years later!
8:00 pm right here!
Heroes of Katrina: Ten Years After - Mardi Gras Then and Now with Vince Vance
in Books
Six months after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans celebrated Mardi Gras. The celebration in 2006 was as lively as ever, but smaller. There were four fewer days, six fewer carnival krewes and every parade had to use the same route......BUT laissez les bons temps rouler.....even history's most devastating natural disaster could not destroy the spirit of our community captured in the background photo of the world's largest and best free party. Join us during the height of the season as we chat about Mardi Gras immediately post-Katrina and then ten years later. Only in NOLA!!! Also, we have Valentines coming up on Saturday of next week...and nothing could be more appropriate than a show integrating Valentines Day with Mardis Gras fanfare.
This evening we have Vince Vance joining Cary and Gretchen the Wonder Girl for a reflective evening of looking at Mardi Gras and Valentines Day. We will be discussing the relationship between the two celebrations and sharing much of Vance's music...Join us for some fun!
Heroes of Katrina: Ten Years After - Cary and Gretchen, with Bonnie Kaye
in Books
This week on Heroes of Katrina: Ten Years After, We are honored and pleased to have Bonnie Kaye come on the show as a host to interview Gretchen and I. Bonnie was the original patron of the Heroes of Katrina show we did several years ago. Without her support, wisdom, advise, and encouragement, the show would likely have never been, nor would be, now.
Cary met Bonnie through her efforts to support literally hundreds of independent authors who faced significant losses in revenue due to the fraudulant practices of Airleaf Publishing. Over the years she has become a close friend to both Cary and Gretchen.
We are excited to have Bonnie on as a host...this show brings us back around to where we started in 2010. So please join us Wednesday evening for a show where Cary and Gretchen give their "Then and Now" account and discuss new and upcoming projects with Bonnie Kaye.
Heroes of Katrina: Ten Years After: The Adventures of Lily Duke
in Writing
In the first weeks after Katrina, New Orleans and the Gulf Coast lay in ruins. The infrastructure of the entire area had been literally eliminated.
Lily Duke an independent film producer had moved to the New Orleans about 5 weeks prior to Katrina. When the storm came she evacuated to Mobile, AL. From the time of her evacuation she had a calling from destiny and knew she could make a difference.
A couple days after Katrina, she returned to New Orleans but was told by Louisiana State Police border guards, that to be allowed through, she needed documentation that she was a First Responder in some official capacity. Through her military connections, she learned of the Church of Christ and became an official First Responder.
Through her resourcefulness, Lily ended up running a food and supply camp on Algiers Point the Mardi Gras World complex.
Lily has been on the show before and is coming back to give her perspective on the changes since Katrina and the impact her experiences have had on her live since the storm and after.
Please join us for an inspirational 2 hours on Thursday evening, February 5th at 8:00 pm EST, 7:00 pm CST, 6:00 pm MST, and 5:00 pm PST, for what should be an inspirational and amazing show.
Heroes of Katrina: 10 Years After /The St Bernard Parish Fire Department
in Writing
When the winds of Katrina began to die down, the flood waters began to rise. For St. Bernard Parish, the flooding was nearly absolute. 99% of the structures had been flooded and destroyed. In some places 25 feet of water lapped up upon the rooftops.
St Bernard Parish is the only county in the history of the United States to have been nearly completely destroyed.
As of the census of 2000, there were 67,229 people (an increase of 598 or 0.9% over the previous decade), 25,123 households, and 18,289 families residing in the parish. The population density was 145 people per square mile (56/km²). There were 26,790 housing units at an average density of 58 per square mile (22/km²).
After Katrina, with an entire population reeling from the destruction, many evacuated. Those that remained waited for the waters to subside and began the long process of re-building.
For perspective, as of the census of 2010, there are 35,897 people. The community is still re-building 10 years later.
During the storm, the St Bernard Parish Fire and Sherriff's Department deployed to aid the community as the flood waters rose and remained.
Chief Thomas Stone is our special guest.
Chief Stone recently told us, "So much has occurred with the recovery and rebuilding of our departments, such as building new stations, replacing our apparatus, hiring and training new firefighters. Our departments have been to hell and we're not back yet. We had a mass departure of senior officers in the years after Katrina, threat of layoffs of firefighters and all the red tape trying to rebuild. We have not even replaced all of our equipment lost through the Public Assistance Project Worksheet program 9 ½ years later".
Please join us for what promises to be a fascinating show about perseverance, reality, hopes, and dreams.
Heroes of Katrina: Ten Years After--French Quarter Tori and the Red Owl
in Books
Listen in to the audio of our children's book which is a metaphor of a real life story of love, friendship, perseverance and everlasting bonds. Juba Kali narrates and Denise Thompson stars as Tori the caterpillar/butterfly.
The video entitled, "French Quarter Tori and the Red Owl" is an animation for the first book collaboration between Cary and Gretchen. The (as-of-yet) unreleased DVD also features Allie Moffet as Lebeau, the Corgi, from the Lower 9th Ward, Steven Wilson who holds the role of Kendall, the mighty owl from the Pacific North West, who guides these friends, and Juba Kali who performed magnificently as the narrator. A heartwarming story loved by children and adults…
Our guest, following the audio, will be Ms. Denise Thompson and she will share the tale of her thoughts and feelings on bringing the character of Tori to life. Denise is an accomplished actress, salon owner and hair artist, wonderful mother and all around talented woman with a glowing heart and inspirational philosopher on the beauty of daily life. We have extended invites to Allie, Steven, Juba, and Caroline (The book's illustrator) to call in and join the conversation. You won't want to miss this show.
A Look Back at Hurricane Katrina- A Radical New Role for Conflict Management
in Self Help
During the month of July, please enjoy these previously recorded shows. We will return live every Tuesday night beginning August 5, 2014. Enjoy the summer!
Using Hurricane Katrina as a model, this speaker will discuss the phenomenology of disasters in America. Various deleterious factors can be forecast that impede effective emergency response. These factors can be better managed when one person is placed in a role to oversee and manage the crisis phase of a disaster. A Conflict Management Professional can unify the ad hoc crisis management team and ensure its accountability and engagement. Provision of a structural solution of this nature would signify a commitment by our government to mitigate human misery in disasters.
Join us as we speak with Cindy Mazur, she has just earned her PhD from George Mason University's Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution in Fairfax, Virginia. Her research is in Conflict Management and the emergency management challenges of Hurricane Katrina. Cindy is the Director for Alternative Dispute Resolution in Washington, D.C., at a federal agency that delivers emergency management services.

Listener's Call to Action: We need to hold our government leaders/politicians accountable. We can do this by writing letters to our Congressman.

Kevin Scott Hall Talks About A Friendship Born from Hurricane Katrina
in Motivation
Telling the riveting true story of what happened when Kevin Scott Hall took in a refugee of Hurricane Katrina, Hall's second book, 'A Quarter Inch from My Heart' is a story of love found in the unlikeliest of Determined to help Maurice "get back on his feet", Hall was still thrown for a loop by what transpired. Over two-and-a-half years, the two men lived as roommates and friends, forcing Hall to examine his own feelings about race, class and love. When Maurice was diagnosed with a rare lung cancer and AIDS, Hall stayed with him until the bittersweet end, looking after his friend and watching his spiritual and emotional growth.
"When Maurice died, I realized what I'd lost and I began to revisit many experiences that I hadn't thought of in years," says the author. "I was the victim of a random street stabbing in 1994, and the event reverberated through my life. In writing the memoir, I detailed my struggles as an artist, family tensions and other events from my past in an attempt to understand how I had come to this moment – letting a mysterious stranger into my life and growing closer to him than I'd ever been to anyone."
"A Quarter Inch From My Heart is a harrowing account of love and loss. Kevin Scott Hall writes about being young in New York City and reckoning with how we all must grow up by taking care of each other and ourselves. His memoir is not only about one life or even the defining, complicated friendship at its center, but about the universal project of being decent, thoughtful citizens of the world. It is at once deeply introspective and outward reaching."

Leaving Ypres, we headed to the south to a restored trench system known as "Bayernwald".

** Holy moly! Thanks for all the great comments and the frontpage and daily 2nd! I am really happy about it. Ill probably make a more... rpg orientented sequel, with powerups, addons, etc. Thanks again everyone! **
I always wanted to create a kinda stylish shooter game. I had to cut it short for the contest, but I am sure you will all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. The background is inspirated from an other game, transmigration. This game is part of a monthly contest: www.gamestudios.com. The art is inspirated from tankmen (as you can see).
Controls are in-game.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
Lose the music
i didn't enjoy playing it because it was just too simle. And please make an option to put off the music next time.. it annoyed me
Rated 2 / 5 stars
umm im really sorry but this game just isnt fun to play............there is no colour in the planes there are no upgrades........the story line at the start made it sound like t was very interesting but it just turned out to be nothing
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Good things:
Bad things:
The first time I played transmigration I got shocked, and know Super Pilot makes the same to me, I loved the music and how it changed with the background.
If only there were more people like you, this world would be a better place.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
nice nice
a lil story, good music, eazy game play all the reasons are good to give it a 10

A Sanson man has been jailed for his part in the "rather amateurish" armed robbery of a Palmerston North car yard where a valuable modified car was taken and a car salesman was left shaken.
Dylon Robert Sergent, 25, admitted a charge of aggravated robbery for his role in the August 6 heist, as well as a count of burglary for a separate incident in June.
In Palmerston North District Court yesterday Sergent was sentenced to five years and 7 months' jail.
The court heard that Sergent and an accomplice visited Rose City Cars on the corner of Grey and Ngata streets and inquired about a modified Subaru worth $36,996.
Car salesman Bruce Herbert, who is well-known in rally circles and is a four-time Rally of New Zealand champion, refused to let the two take the car for a test drive, first because it had no warrant and, when that was sorted, because he wanted to see some money first. A court summary said Sergent's accomplice threatened Mr Herbert with a .308 rifle.
He handed over the keys and Sergent tried to drive the car away but couldn't start it at first.
Mr Herbert told the Manawatu Standard the sentence was about what he had expected.
He had been visited by Sergent's father and said he "understood where he was coming from".
"I don't think I'm over it but I have put it to the back of my mind," Mr Herbert said.
He had received an insurance payout for the car.
In court, Judge David Smith labelled the robbery "rather amateurish".
"How you thought that you were going to get away with it, is beyond comprehension.
"I can only assume it was due to the fact that you and the co-defendant were not thinking as normal sober people."
Defence lawyer Steve Winter said the robbery and burglary happened "during a brief period in this young man's life when he lapsed into behaviour that's foreign to him".
Sergent had flirted with what might have seemed a "glamorous lifestyle" involving criminals, drugs and drink.
"He went along with that.
"He made bad decisions and he must accept the consequences of that," Mr Winter said.
About 20 family and friends supported Sergent from the public gallery and Mr Winter said his client's behaviour was contrary to the way he was raised.
"His family are honest, decent people . . . He had let them down and he had let himself down and he knows that."
Sergent had been on bail while awaiting sentence and, Mr Winter said, the atmosphere at his home was "almost funereal" ahead of yesterday's hearing.

Blake Takes a Break From FW For Penn Time
Blake Lively looked ready for rain in her Hunter Wellingtons getting lunch at Tortilla Flats with Penn Badgley in NYC yesterday. This season on Gossip Girl the wishy washy back together couple can't seem to keep their hands off each other, but considering their offscreen chemistry it doesn't seem like too much of an acting stretch. One place we haven't seen Penn is by his girlfriend's side for all the Fashion Week fun where Blake's checked out some of what we're sure to see S and B wearing in episodes to come.

Ummm...definitely not Hunters on Blake. I have those exact shoes from Chinese Laundry. The color I have is called hunter green, NOT to be confused with Hunter Wellingtons! So there. Kudos to that one chick for initially stating this important fact. I love Blake by the way. (I love Penn even more) :)

Those aren't wellies, they always have their logo in the front.. They have to be Chinese Laundry!, I have a pair in red :) .. Plus Blake loves CL remember those grey suede tall boots she's worn? love it!

I'm surprised there's not ONE comment about her hair. If this was someone else people'd be all over it! LOL
Her hair is an absolute mess. Does the girl not own a comb? I love BL, but seriously. LOL

Mesayme, I've seen a couple of episodes and yes, it is a great show. Watch just one episode, and if you're not hooked then I'll be surprised!

2/8/2015What's the point of paying for insurance if you just can't use it , I was forced to pay for insurance but when the roof leaked on all my expensive furniture the manager told the insurance company there was nothing wrong with the ceiling , are you blind or blind I even posted pictures of the nasty moldy ceiling dripping water , even in the pics you can see the water bubbles forming on the bottom , not to mention how expensive this storage facility is on top of all that . If you are considering to store ur nice items at this facility please look elsewhere " I don't want to say I told you so "

5/15/2014I have had the best experience here. The storage unit is exactly what I need. Michael is so helpful and nice! He really relieved some of the stress of moving. I made this Public Storage reservation after Uhaul in Midtown cancelled my reservation without telling me, then charged me for a lock that I never received! My experience with Public Storage has been the complete opposite: amazing customer service! I am very happy to be a customer here.

Re:Upside Down? (142 comments)
Re:Bikes lanes are nice (213 comments)
I have to disagree vehemently. It vastly depends on the speed that you are traveling with on your bike. As soon as you aproach the upper 20s (km/h, European here) it is way too dangerous to be traveling on the side walk. Here in Germany we have dedicated bike lanes which unfortunately mostly run on the side walk, meaning that pedestrians often do not look up to check if a bike is coming. More dangerously though are the cars taking right turns, because even if they bother to look you will be right in their blind spot. Add to this cars coming out of driveways or sidestreets, only bothering to stop and look once they reach the actual street and you get quite a dangerous mix. Whenever it is allowed thus, I always ride on the street and counting the number of close calls or accidents I had it is a lot safer. Basically the only danger when riding on the street are butthurt drivers who make it a point to overtake you with a 10cm gap even if the opposite lane has no traffic, because you are supposedly occupying 'their' street.

The Foolishness of the Cross
"For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
(1 Corinthians 1:18 – Watchword for the Week of Sunday 8 March 2015)
There are so many spots in my life that are marked with the sign of the cross.
Let me share with y'all what some of them are about:
When she first saw me in the uniform of an Army Chaplain my mother started crying. Yes, of course there was this whole "my son is a Soldier" thing but what disturbed her most was the cross on my chest. The love of God and a combat uniform do not naturally go together. The Army Chaplain Branch Cross is one of five insignia besides the Jewish tabloids, the Muslim crescent, the Buddhist wheel of life and the Hindu "Om" syllable. They tell Soldiers where their Chaplains are coming from not where they are taking them. Luckily my mom understands that the love of God is greater than all religious distinctions and Christ has called me to be a servant to all.
Whenever our family has moved we have posted a cross over our front-door. You may call it a talisman or good luck charm. I think of it as a blessing of our home and everybody who lives and visits in it. A symbol of Christ's presence. Maybe not so much through the symbol of the cross itself but very much so by the spirit which we strive to live. The crosses we have used over our doorposts over the years have always been very modest you may even say tiny. That way they have also been great reminders of humility. I wish the cross were used that way more often. Around Houston highways crosses are being abused as symbols of power and dominance towering up to 200 feet tall. The "emblem of suffering and shame" should not be used as a phallic symbol that strives to be bigger and stronger than everybody else.
The roadside crosses that I respect are the ones that remind us of our mortality. After the deadly crash of a loved one family and friends sometimes try to keep the memory alive at the scene of death – with a cross and candles or flowers. By that not only do they support their own grief process but they also help others in a similar situation. Driving past such a memorial site can work like a support group: I am not alone in my mourning. And on a pragmatic note it warns all motorists: A deadly crash happened here. This spot may require more attention and lower speeds. The cross gets that across more powerfully to me than any speed limit sign could.
In the parish hall at St. John's United Church of Christ we have close to one hundred crosses on the wall. No, this is not bragging by numbers. This is a sign of diversity. Not two are the same. They are kids crafts, cowboy scenes, crucifixes, clothespins, artsy, rustic, kitsch and ancient, you name it, we got it. The blessing here is in the variety of the multitude. There is not the one correct cross. Our journeys are all different, our approaches to Jesus' suffering and the season of Lent are all different. What is your cross style?
Intergenerational Covenant
It's a great thing to be in a covenant with God. Over thousands of years biblical authors have painted the most wonderful pictures of what that means: blessing, wealth, love, health, peace, power, forgiveness, eternal life, whatever you may hope for in heaven and on earth, it has probably been spelled out as part of God's covenant with us somewhere. Like when God promised to Abram:
"I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your offspring after you throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you."
(Genesis 17:7 – Watchword for the Week of Sunday 1 March 2015)
Sunday's Watchword adds an important twist though: God's covenant is not only with you in the present generation but also "your offspring after you throughout their generations". That is a challenge because it means that it is our responsibility to preserve the blessings that God provided us with for future generations. And we have to look at this in all aspects of our lives. All to often grown-ups say: "Children are the future" where in reality that is a distraction from our responsibility today. There are also passages where curses are handed down from generation to generation: "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me," (Exodus 20:5)
How can we live here today and make sure that our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their children inherit a world that is full of more blessings than ours has ever been? What can we do to preserve our social programs in a way that they are funded for generations to come? Are we making sure that we don't leave our kids with generational debt that they need to pay on our behalf? Do we leave behind a world that is fun to live in with a sea to swim in, woods and fields to play in, air to breath and water to drink? Do we create a thriving church that inspires generation after generation? God's covenant is for all generations. We need to keep our end of the bargain.
Ash Wednesday in a Protestant Church, really?
I grew up in a largely Catholic area in Germany. Cologne Cathedral has served the area since the 4th century. So as the Reformation came around in the 16th century Protestants needed to be different. We have gone along with the carnival season from November 11th to Ash Wednesday because we like a good mardi gras celebration with parades and floats and a lot of partying. But then when Ash Wednesday comes around you can still tell Catholics from Protestants because overwhelmingly we will stay away from that fasting thing.
For me that changed somewhat when we moved to Utah. In a community where 93% of the population are Mormon the liturgical roots of our tradition helped me to retain and strengthen my identity. My UCC congregation worked regularly with the Episcopal Church across the street to keep ourselves rooted in the desert. And I got my Catholic fix out of our joint Ash Wednesday services. Now in Rosenberg, Texas, at St. John's UCC we have our own Ash Wednesday service – no Episcopal priest to impose the Ashes but it will be my turn tomorrow. That to me is a double-edged sword since the most disturbing thing about Catholicism for me is the role of the priesthood. The guy imposing the ashes seems so removed from the sinners who receive it. That just feels so wrong since our tradition puts a big emphasis on the priesthood of all believers. So I am very excited that I get to juggle that tension tomorrow.
The good news is that the whole ash thing at its core uses a scriptural foundation that fits well into the Protestant spirit:
"Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19)
God is quoted saying that to Adam and Eve after the scene with the forbidden fruit. Basically they are reminded of their limitations. That applies to all of us who were born to a human mother: Protestants, Catholics, Mormons, Priests, All Believers, oh yes, we are all sinners alike!
The thing with traditions – presidential or otherwise
Going back and remembering presidents past is a good thing: It keeps us rooted. We do that within our families all the time: Remember the hero that grandpa was, take grandma's sacrifice as an example. But also: Don't be a drunk like auntie Paige or a playboy like uncle Bob. We remember presidents for their greatest and their worst hours:
George Washington as the founder of the nation and first president will obviously get a lot of credit for all he did. And when we worship heroes like that we tend to overlook their human weaknesses: George Washington was known to complain that his pay was not sufficient to cover the expenses of his household and at times he even had to pay expenses out of pocket. His $25,000 in 1789 equal $650,000 in today's dollars after inflation. Since 2001 presidents have only made $400,000. Looks like the father of the nation did not have his personal budget under control.
Many stories that we tell about ourselves tie us to heroes of the past: How we grow up to imitate all the great things our parents have done for us or how we start a family tradition totally opposite of our upbringing. We have to connect to the past one way or the other. The same thing is true for Jesus. The Gospels would not just have him show up and do his preaching-teaching-healing thing. They have to explain his authority, to give him a rightful place in the life and faith of God's people. That's what Transfiguration Sunday is all about:
"Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!" Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus." (Mark 9:2-8)
Jesus is nobody unless he has the authority of a prophet like Moses. No presidential candidate can make it to the White House without tipping their hat to one who has gone before them. None of us can live happy lives without an understanding of how our family tradition and history have affected us for better and worse. None of us are perfect, ancestors and presidents included.
Houston WPCU Prayer Service
This was only the second time that Houston had revived its observation of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity holding an ecumenical prayer service. Last year's was at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. This year we celebrated at Lakewood Church. The theme was prepared in Brazil and focused around John 4:7 where Jesus said to the woman at the well: "Give me to drink".
As a symbol of unity pastors from various denominations and churches poured water into one fountain that unites us all. From the Baptist Preacher to the Cardinal of the Roman Catholic church we all brought a vessel to pour our own traditions into this event. I brought my Army canteen representing all the families that have suffered through wars over decades. One of the ushers at Lakewood Church saw that and shared his Vietnam story with me.
Since Lakewood was the host church this year music was mostly their style with many people in the audience waving there hands like they do in concerts. One great performance artist after another took the stage. Lakewood's drama team did a fantastic job bringing the scene between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well to life.
The sermon was given by Mike Rinehart, the Lutheran bishop in Houston. In his thoughtful reflections he laid out a seven-point plan for the unity of the church in Houston:
1. Galatians 3:28
2. Make love your aim.
3. Humility. Have this mind among you…
4. Pray for unity
5. Work for unity
6. Serve together
7. Stop bickering
You can read the entire sermon on his blog.
The United Church of Christ was officially represented by Houston Association Minister Joshua Lawrence and myself as a member of the planning committee. Our denominational motto "That they may all be one" was quoted over and over again throughout the service. We understand that this kind of work is worth all our effort. Please plan to join us next year as well.
I was charged with an intercessory prayer for freedom of expression which you can read on my blog.
Rev. Lawrence said this benediction for the service:
"May Jesus Christ, the living water, be behind you to protect you, before you to guide you, by your side to accompany you, within you to console you, above you to bless you."
God and the Super Bowl
You know what the biggest group of Americans say they DON'T do on any given Sunday?
– Be in church or watch football!
According to the January PRRI/RNS Religious News Survey most people forgo both of these Sunday activities. Now, as a pastor I am a regular at church but I must admit that I do not make time to watch afternoon TV except for the Super Bowl. So here it goes: The big game is coming up and I will be joining the minority elite by going to church at 10 and streaming the game later in the day.
But there were a couple more stunning results in that survey when it comes to football and faith:
1. Americans are split in half over the question as to whether God rewards athletes who have faith with good health and success. Let me take sides here: No, God does not reward actions! Being a person of faith does not make your life any easier: Remember Job! If anything, faith makes your life more challenging. Because bad stuff happens to good people and as a person of faith you have to work that out with your image of God. Health and success as a reward? Job says: Hell no! All I got was pain and misery for nothing! Maybe signing multi-million dollar contracts can boost your success. Maybe exercising for a living can make you healthier. But please, don't blame God for your good fortune.
2. One in four Americans say that God plays a role in determining which team wins the Super Bowl. Again, let me join the minority elite. Of course, God can do all things! Not a thing happens in the world that God couldn't prevent. I am one of four! Every Sunday we sing "He's got the whole world in his hands!" And yes, that includes the football and the scoreboard, he's got the Patriots and the Seahawks, he's got the whole world in his hands. "We reject the false doctrine that there could be areas of our life in which we would not belong to Jesus Christ but to other lords", states the Barmen Declaration. God Almighty rules over time and space so of course the result of a sporting event is within God's reach.
BUT: Sometimes people have a tendency to forget that God is the Ultimate Free Agent. We can't tell God what to do. We cannot predict a Super Bowl Winner by turning our praying ear toward God. Because the ruler of heaven and earth has been very clear as to who is in charge. Which ever team you will be rooting for on Sunday, America will most likely be split down the middle again and half of us will be utterly disappointed. The recommended prayer for that prospect is: "He said, 'Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want.'"
A Prayer for Freedom of Expression
On Friday, January 23, 2015, I will be part of the 2nd Annual Ecumenical Prayer Service for Christian Unity. This year it is hosted by Lakewood Church. You are now part of the lucky who can already read my prayer today. But still: Please make time to join us on Friday at 7pm.
I am free to do this hand sign right here, right now.
Being a demonstrator in Thailand such an act of defiance will get you arrested.
Military dictatorships are afraid of movies that promote freedom of expression.
When The Interview came online I couldn't resist but watch it and it really turns out to be hilariously offensive. Do you have to love it? – No! Is it important to have that kind of artistic expression out there? – You bet! Or as Evelyn Beatrice Hall put it in the mouth of Voltaire: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
As we gather this week to work toward Christian unity let us join our voices in prayer for freedom of expression:
Holy One: Your Word called the world into being. Your Word became flesh among us. When you express yourself in all your awesome and holy freedom everything changes. A voice like thunder, the loving whisper of a mother – a word can affect so much and you have freely spoken to all your people through the ages.
When Jesus came to the Samaritan woman at the well your Word was expanded to include even those Samaritans which have never been any good. Ultimately gentiles from all around the world were called into your beloved community. Like an author publishing a book you have set your Holy Word free.
You want our words to be free also:
when we laugh at ourselves for our shortsightedness,
when we poke fun at each other for our denominational oddities,
when caricature educates and enlightens the political public.
You call us to stand for freedom of expression: With Charlie Hebdo, with protesters in Thailand, with our Christian brothers and sisters in Brazil and all around the world. It takes loud people with radical symbols that keep on yelling: "Let my people go!" Holy One, hear our supplications that we can express so freely. Amen.
Welcome to the Future
Last weekend they announced the concert lineup for the Rodeo Houston. Brad Paisley is going to perform. That is big for Mirjam and I for we really admire his work. On Saturday the tickets will go on sale and you have to pre-register and wait for an hour in an online waiting room before even being considered for the privilege to fork over your money. Can you tell it's our first year at Rodeo Houston? – Very exciting times.
I need to share this this week for two reasons:
a) I don't want you to miss your opportunity to get your tickets. Think of this as a public service announcement or a friendly reminder.
b) Next Monday is Martin Luther King Junior Day. And it is so easy and pleasant to remind ourselves of great thoughts from the past: "I have a dream". But who is brave enough to tell a story of racial injustice that has happened in your own backyard? Well, Brad Paisley is one of those people who dare to share in his song "Welcome to the future":
From this musical excursion let's go to the cold hard facts of demographics. According to solid projections there will be fewer blacks and hispanics in Fort Bend County in five years. Whites are the only ethnical group with substantial growth:
Did you have a spontaneous gut reaction to those numbers?
What do those feelings tell you about race relations in America 2015?
How deep are your roots?
When I drop off the kids at school in the morning I drive past two churches that could not be more different: One has a full fledged sanctuary with educational buildings attached. The second rents a store front in a failing strip mall. And I must admit I am partial. I have a hard time envisioning church life in a store front. I know the church is first and foremost the body of Christ, second the congregation and the people it is comprised of and only in the third place the church is the church building. But in my little thinking all three go hand in hand. I need a sense of sanctuary to connect me to the ancient roots of our faith. I need the sound of the organ to lift up my spirit beyond what I can hear on the radio every day. I need ancient canticles, time-tested rituals and historic places. No, I am not against change. The church has always evolved: From a radical preacher healer whose gang of twelve was persecuted and prosecuted to the established religion of the greatest empire the world has ever known. The house church has been the go to style of worship from the beginning and still has its merits in a variety of settings. But this week's watchword is a nice reminder that God wants a nice place:
"Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name; worship the Lord in holy splendor."
(Psalm 29:2 – Watchword for the Week of Sunday 11 January 2015)
It makes sense to invest into the church building and put on a new roof. It makes sense to upgrade the Hymnals. It makes sense to tune all the pianos scattered around the buildings. It makes sense to change the paraments and restock candles and tapers. For worship we use things and words and gestures that are not necessarily part of everyday life. They are special, they are set apart, they are holy. I would not want an elaborate candelabrum at home but it serves its purpose in the sanctuary. Are all those bells and whistles really necessary? It depends! Do they prepare our hearts and minds to listen to the still speaking God? That is my litmus test. Tradition only makes sense as long as it accomplishes its mission to make straight the paths of our God.
All this tells you more about me than it tells you about the nature of the church. I hunger for the connection to the ancient roots of our faith and since you all have chosen to worship in this place in this style it is safe to assume that some of my reflections resonate with something inside of you. But how about the storefront worshipers? Their faith journey is just as sacred and valid. God does not need a traditional setting to reach hearts and minds. It just may be the case that people there do not need the deep roots of faith but are better at enjoying the moment and facing the challenges of the here and now. Maybe I envy them after all for being able to live life without the constant reminders that keep me rooted.
Let's cut Santa some slack
Around Christmas time Christians start bashing Santa Claus and get apprehensive if not aggressive against the good old Saint because he is presumably not part of the "real reason for the season".
In many ways Christians are called to be Saints. Like here by the Apostle Paul:
"May the God of peace sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
(1 Thessalonians 5:23 – Watchword for the Week of Sunday 14 December 2014)
Santa is what Christmas is all about. Just keep in mind how we got him in the first place:
1. Santa Claus is named after St. Nicholas of Myra, the historic 4th-century Christian Saint and Greek Bishop of Myra (Demre, part of modern-day Turkey). He is the patron saint for children and the stockings we have on our mantles are derived from the boots that children in Europe get stuffed with little presents on St. Nick's day, December 6th. Just they put them outside the front door so the original St. Nicholas does not have to invade homes. That's what he looked like:
2. Father Frost is the Slavic personification of winter. He gave our current Santa his fluffy coat and heavy stature. He has all the warmth cold Russian winters lack and he brought presents to Russian children while Stalinism did not allow for St. Nicholas to make a religious appearance. Now the Russian church is having to wrestle with the fact that people have merged St. Nicholas and Father Frost in their hearts and minds. His coat for the most part was pictured green:
3. Even though there have been earlier attempts to bring a red version of this newly merged Turkish-Russian winter-spirit Saint to America, it took the marketing power of Coca Cola to ultimately give our modern day Saint his red coat and bring him fully into the center of American Christmas culture.
That's what Christmas is all about:
1. A Saint helping poor little children
2. A resilient spirit keeping hope alive in hostile winters
3. A blending of different cultures and traditions that makes the holidays bright for everyone whether they call them Christmas, Chanukkah, Kwanzaa or just Holidays.

(NBC News) Health advocates from around the country were in Washington Wednesday, waging a war on soda and other sugary drinks.
Education about the link between sugar and health problems like obesity and diabetes have contributed to Americans cutting back on soda, down three percent last year according to an industry report.
But the government still calls sugary drinks the single largest source of calories in the American diet, and health advocates say that needs to change.
Researchers are considering new deterrents like beverage taxes and coupon bans.
The beverage industry argues their popular drinks aren't to blame for the country's obesity problem.
"Nutritional advice is important, but turning it into regulations often is a really bad idea," says Baylen Linnekin of Keep Food Legal.
The beverage industry argues they've given consumers low and no calories options, and it's up to consumers to choose them.

The single room is part of a wide flat where we live in (3-6 people in relation to the presence of some components of the family) It has a reserved bathroom with bathtub (no proper shower, but we adapted it to so it is possible to use it as a shower as well) for the whole period of permanence.

The breakfast is at the italian way, and can be share with the rest of the family. We use preferably foods that come from the fair trade and / or certified organic.
We live 7 minutes by foot from Mestre railway and bus station which means that's possible to reach Venice by bus or train in 20 minutes at anytime during the day and night (the bus run continuously just less frequently during the night). 150 mt from the house (on the same street) there is a bus stop, which goes to the main Airport (Marco Polo). The bus is every 30 minutes and takes circa 30 minutes to reach the airport. The tourist tax, payable to the municipality of Venice, is included in the cost of the bnb.

At home we don't smoke and it is not allowed to smoke inside the house, however we have a nice terrace were you can eventually full fill your smoking needs.
The living room
As soon as I got to Giovanni's home I felt like I was with my family. My train arrived a little bit late at night but Giovanni's mom was waiting for me. The room was very clean, with information about Venice; exactly what they're showing in the pictures. I spent a lovely time with Giovanni's mom and his sister talking about different topics. This place is very close to the train/bus terminal. If I come back to Venice, this place would be my first option.
La famiglia è gentilissima e molto disponibile per qualsiasi cosa, ci si sente come a casa! La casa è bella e grande, anche il bagno è confortevole e ad uso esclusivo dell'ospite. Inoltre c'è la possibilità di parcheggiare nel cortile interno privato. In 3 minuti a piedi si raggiunge la stazione centrale da cui andare a Venezia con il treno o con il Bus (N°2). Soluzione perfetta per visitare Venezia, consiglio vivamente
It was a lovely place to stay. Did not have the chance to meet the host, but Giovanni's mother was super helpful and friendly. Would recommend this place to all solo travelers.
This is a family affair and perfect for the solo traveler. Isabella (Giovanni's mother) welcomed me with a private set of keys, an open schedule for breakfast and return times, passionate information about Venice and also the surrounding area (Mestre). Even set a twenty minute walk/bus transfer from Venice, this home is comfortable, colorful and safe-fantastic exchange for the price. Giovanni's sisters also stopped by over the weekend, lending really fun and informative conversations over each breakfast and evening.
Giovanni responded very quickly which was great! I was able to check-in at 11:00am which was a huge bonus because some Airbnb places the host is not home until after 6:00pm and one must wait to drop off bags. Giovanni was not home while I was in town for two nights but his Mother, father and sister were all very kind to me. Giovanni's mother sat down with me and explained some history and key locations within Venice. I always enjoy hearing stories from people who truly know a place and all the beauty it has to offer. Giovanni's mother also prepared me a nice breakfast with great strong Italian coffee, my favorite! The room was big and clean, the bathroom was likewise!! :) Overall I really enjoyed staying with Giovanni's family, I would very much recommend staying and I would definitely come back! Thank you!
Giovanni was unable to be there during my stay but I was met by his family members who were extremely welcoming and sat down with me to give directions and answer any questions I had about Venice. I was not their very long but the accommodations were very nice and comfortable. It was sweetest thing when I woke in the morning to fresh coffee, breakfast and had a great conversation with the family.
Perfect location, nice house, helpful and cordial hosts; but more than anything, Isabella's love for Venice which shines in her eyes and in every word. Thank you, Isabella, for sharing this love with so many persons.
