In the midst of this long harsh winter take 8 minutes to watch the video below and be blown away by what we are supporting as a ministry. The hospital in Mango, Togo where the Kosioreks are heading held its' inauguration ceremony last week. Thousands of Togolese flocked to the hospital along with the President of Togo to participate in this historic day that saw the hospital project reaching completion. The Kosioreks are reaching completion of their language learning at the same time and will, Lord willing be at the hospital July 2nd. Please pray for this ministry and pray the Lord will raise up the final financial need ($20,000). The Kosioreks have to move all of their belongings and themselves to Togo. God is doing incredible things in northern Togo and the surrounding countries and our very own Kosioreks will be there soon to do their part see many come to Christ!

The Proposal: A Sweet Night
There is just something about that moment when a man drops to a knee and asks a woman to be his wife and promises to love her and take care of her forever if she will just say yes. Those ideas were the theme of this year's Sweetest Night. A night highlighted with a wonderful catered meal (cheesecake!!), laughter, sweet proposal stories, a few classic "Roses Are Red Violets are Blue" poems and a room full of men delivering a rose and a proposal to their sweetest. Enjoy some pictures from our very sweet night.
True Love?
Are you ready for this? Are you ready for true love?
I wonder.
We all long for true love or at least we say we do. Truth is most of us shun it because we completely misunderstand it. But true loves awaits those who will accept it and embrace it; if we dare. But we must be prepared for love to look different than what Hollywood portrays or even the stuff of our childhood ideals.
What if true love is something quite different than what you thought it was? What if it is even diametrically opposed to much of what you have been taught? What if true love is demanding, consuming, unyielding and never growing? Could you handle that kind of love; if it was indeed true love?
The Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:8). He is the source of it, the Author of it, the embodiment of it. So love must be understood through the prism that what God has said and done is the ultimate understanding of true love. So here are four immutable truth's about God's love that might just surprise you.
1. God's love is demanding.
It is demanding in two ways.
First, in order to have a love relationship with God He demands you respond to His love. 1 John 4:8-10 says "…for God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world , that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son, to be the propitiation for our sins." Did you catch that? We do not naturally love God, we are not drawn to Him but rather away from Him. Yet God loved us, pursued us and gave His Son as a sacrifice for our sins that we might have a way to know Him, be drawn to Him and love Him. John 3:16 states; "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever should believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." To experience true love a response is required; specifically one of belief. There is no true love without complete belief and trust; and unless you believe you cannot truly be loved. Romans 10:9-11 lays out what our response is to be; "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says; 'Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." True love takes away all shame because true love covers it all. God insists His Son is enough to wipe away all your stains and forgive all your sins. Can you insist He is too? It's the response God demands.
Second, God expressly says that If we love Him we will obey Him. Talk about demanding and flying right in the face of everything this world says about true love. Jesus says "If you love me you will obey my commandments." (John 14:23) That is just too much you may protest. Well, consider this well known verse from Romans 8; "All things work together for good to those who love God." If we love God and obey God all things will work out for our good. Mind you, good here is defined by God not by us. And yes, that is demanding of Him, but if He is God then He is all-knowing and we are not. So, how about having an all-knowing and wise God on your side who is in love with you and you in love with Him? I think things will work just nicely in this kind of relationship as demanding as it is.
2. God's love is consuming.
We are to get lost in Him. We disappear. It is not about us at all. It's not about the bride it is about the bridegroom. How does that fit in your worldview? True love it turns out is about giving a life away in order to really have life. Galatians 2:20 bottom lines this for us, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me, and this life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." We are consumed it turns out, by the love of Jesus. How dare we expose ourselves to such a scandalous kind of love? We dare because He left the perfection of heaven to come here and be treated horrifically, unjustly and then brutally killed on a public cross of shame to save you from you. When one comes to grips with that love they willingly surrender everything and place it at the Savior's feet. Whatever was mine Jesus, is now yours. The Apostle Paul put it this way, "I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus." We are most loved and happy when we are most consumed by Jesus.
3. God's love is unyielding.
God doesn't bend in this relationship. There is no negotiating the terms of the relationship with God. God never changes but He is always changing us. In our world, that is completely unfair and unacceptable isn't it? "What do you mean I have to change but they don't?" But true love is not of this world. True love is supernatural, eternal, and all-powerful- all things we are not. God is in charge of this relationship and He has one goal for it…conform you to Him. Again from the book of Philippians the Apostle Paul instructs us along these lines, "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." Please note it is a good work He is doing in you. His unyielding nature in this love relationship is to produce the best you, and the best you looks like His Son (Rom. 8:29). True love helps others to see and be truly loved, and God will produce that true love in you as you pursue His Son of true love. Pursuit of anything else is a pursuit of something less than true love and God loves you too much to see you do that. He's unyielding that way.
4. God's love is never growing.
He can't love us anymore than He already does. Romans 8:38-39, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." From the day you realize God's love in the gift of His Son and accept that gift you have every ounce of the love of God you will ever have. He cannot love you more and He cannot love you less than He did that day, today or any other day. His love is inexhaustible so He does not have to worry about how much to love. He simply loves 100% of the time. Our love, on the other hand is always growing, or at least it should be. Our love fluctuates, even daily. We should not confuse the two– His love and our love. One is perfect 24/7/365/infinity. The other is woefully less. You will never out love God. Instead, He will always out love you. Not bad for a true love.
I invite you this Valentine's Day to be sure you know what true love is. God is love, but His love is not the stuff of fairly tales but of true redemption and eternal bliss. This Valentine's Day God is saying be mine and experience true love, maybe even for the first time in your life.
No Shades Of Gray
Just in time for Valentine's Day comes a movie that has captured the attention and salacious desires of our culture. "50 Shades of Grey" is the film adaptation of the bestselling book of the same title. It is really nothing more than 50 shades of sin. No matter how a Christian might review, critique, slice or dice it; it is a celebration of sin. Have I read it or seen it, nope. Do I need to in order be fair and reasonable about my opinion, nope. From a mile away I can see what it is all about and the Bible tells me to stay that mile away (1 Cor. 6:18; 2 Tim. 2:22; Matt. 5:28).
This from Kevin DeYoung, pastor and blogger, "There is nothing gray about whether a follower of Christ should see 50 Shades of Grey. This is a black and white issue. Don't go. Don't watch it. Don't read it. Don't rent it. Some movies do not deserve sophisticated analysis. They deserve sober repudiation. If the church cannot extend grace to sexual sinners, we've lost the heart of the gospel. And if we cannot tell people to stay away from 50 Shades of Grey, we've lost our minds." (full article here)
Why even write about this? Why the fuss? Because many who profess to be followers of Christ will go see this. It's art they may well protest. It's the conversation everyone else is having and if we are going to be reaching our community we need to be in the conversation. No, we don't; not this one anyway. In fact, I would argue the opposite is closer to the truth. The fact that we do not go will go farther in our witness than if we do.
Holiness is to be desired more than relevance. Truth is biblical holiness will accomplish everything being relevant is supposed to accomplish and will leave our testimony pure. Remember Jesus' warning from Matthew 5:13, " "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet." Yes, the next verse says we must be a light, but we must first be salt in order to be the light Jesus wants us to be.
Our light has no shades of gray. It is to be a holy light. Yes, we are imperfect (by a long shot!) but the world needs to see the difference a living Savior can make more than how cool or "with it" we can be as Christians. There are times and places for being "with it" and in "conversations" this is one that will better had from 50 miles away.
Friday Frivolity ~ Staff Instrumental Style
A merry heart does good…
The staff here at Grace is quite talented. Of course we seek to be humble and not flaunt our gifts but you know sometimes you just have to share your gifts with others to bless them. So to perk you up this bone chilling mid-winter weekend here's a little somthin' somthin' from Pastors Shirk, Bartz and myself. Leading off is me on the flute, followed by Pastor Shirk on the trumpet and Pastor Bartz on the sax (because he is just so smooth- it's the beard ya' know). Enjoy!
Oh, and Pastor Shirk says, "Hi!" from Iowa where he is driving Claudia around in this beauty as they share at a state fellowship marriage conference (or so he says they are :)).
Friday Frivolity ~ Super Bowl Style
A merry heart does good…
First up a little quiz. Which artist quoted from Psalm 51 during their performance of a Super Bowl halftime show (and perhaps the only artist to quote Scripture during a halftime show)? Take your guess by commenting below.
Now on to a collection of Super Bowl ads the editorial staff at Frivolity find favorable and funny! The first one is dedicated to Pastor Jeff Bartz!
More cat themed frivolity.
And we close with a sentimental classic.
A Church That Prays Together Stays Together
This past Wednesday night we held our annual business meeting. I actually look forward to them. You probably think I'm a little weird right about now and I suppose I can't blame you. For most church going folk the annual business meeting is one of the most dreaded events on a church calendar; as in, I'd rather go to the dentist and have a tooth filled then go to one of those!
Not at Grace. We enjoy them as celebrations of God's goodness. I do not say this as boasting but it just is what it is. Why are these meetings worth looking forward to? Because we pray together (see picture above from Wednesday night).
Church business meetings are not really about business; they are about ministry. They are about snapshots of God's grace in the life of Christ's Bride. They about entreating the Lord to be with us in the coming year. They are about pressing on with the gospel against the gates of hell. They are about prayer.
Really, prayer? Yes, really. Consider the first business meeting held after Christ's ascension. The disciples gathered, probably a little shell-shocked that Jesus vanished into thin air, left them here to wait for some sort of Helper to come and to carry out some sort of mission until He comes. Whoa, talk about a daunting backdrop to a business meeting! There is no financial plan, no programs to discuss and debate, and no Robert's Rules of Order for goodness sakes! No, there is only a mission; spread the good news of Jesus. So what did they do? They prayed. In fact, they prayed with one accord or one mind.
"These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication…and in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples …" Acts 1:14-15
They needed to get organized and sort out what to do so they prayed with one mind. They were unified. Oh, I'm sure they didn't agree on everything; Acts, after all, lays out disagreements the apostles had about theology as it was forming in the early years and methodology. But they were on the same team! They had each other's back. A church that prays together stays together!
Here are four brief reasons why a church that prays together stays together even during business meetings:
1. Prayer sets the heart agenda. You cannot in good conscience do and say the opposite of what you pray. You know to do so makes you a hypocrite. It is really hard for a person of genuine prayer to be selfish and mean-spirited.
2. Prayer is a sort of supernatural glue for a church. It binds us spiritually together. Try praying this; "God please decimate this body, tear it apart." You can't pray that can you? Why? You know it would be sin to do so. You know God's will is for a united body. But if you skip the whole praying thing you can easily carry a divisive spirit with you.
3. Prayer causes us to go to God for the spiritual betterment of each other. Try praying this; "God please curse Chuck with struggles and temptations so he will fail and spare me from such so I will not." Puh-lease. If you are regularly praying for others you will strongly desire their spiritual progress and victories. Which "BTW" will lead to a growing church and celebratory business meetings!
4. It forces us to agree with God's plan and purpose not ours. Try praying this; "God, I know your Word says (fill in the blank) but I want…" Yeah, not expecting that one to get past the ceiling are you? Prayer has this nasty little way of making us think biblically and that is awfully good for us.
A church that prays together moves forward together and business meetings are about how we will move forward. It seemed all those early disciples knew to do was pray. But that season of prayer drew them together, set their hearts agenda, strengthened their friendship and gave them thinking that aligned with the Word of God (Acts 1:16-20). That is a great place for any church to be as they meet for their annual business meeting.

Some time back AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal beat BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in an online poll to select The 100 Most Influential People in the World.
For the uninitiated, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry are locked in a battle for the most popular pop star in the world when it comes to such polls. For quite some time, Bieber was the Twitter leader, but Katy narrowly beat him to become the first to get 50 million Twitter followers.
The same thing happened in this year's Time poll and both Bieber and Perry took an early lead. But of course both Kejriwal and Modi fans had other ideas.
They started voting in large numbers and very soon the two edged out the reigning pop stars. And for anyone following the percentage of votes, it was a seesaw battle resembling a T20 match.
One unique thing about the Time polls is that you can cast both a Yes vote and a No vote. So if you don't like someone then you can still vote for him, albeit with a no. At the end of the poll after Kejriwal emerged as the clear winner.
That's because even though Modi got more overall votes, Kejriwal got more positive ones. In fact in the end, Kejriwal had to most Yes votes and Modi had the most No votes in the entire poll. Now doesn't this resemble the Indian mainstream media, civil society and intelligentsia where Kejriwal is the most loved and Modi the most hated!
In terms of percentage of No Votes clocked for each personality, Rahul Gandhi had the highest No percentage even ahead of the other "most hated" Bieber. Pappu is a disaster wherever he goes!

Bathtub Conundrum
TravelFairyMarch 11, 2012
I am remodeling my master bath, and I would love a freestanding tub. I am completely enamored with the look of the Kohler Reve, but I can't find one anywhere near me to look at, or more importantly lay down in :-). I am really nervous about shelling out several thousand dollars for a bathtub that may not be comfortable.
Has anyone ever seen this tub?? Are most tubs made with the same angle on the back? Can I be certain that it will be comfortable?
Thanks in advance for any help!

how many plants are you 'holding over' right now?? -- newbie hint
and how many of them are you still holding since last year.. lol ...
i like to say: just because you buy it .. it doesnt mean its time to plant it ...
so sooner or later.. you learn to 'hold them over' until the next proper planting time ... which for me in MI is mid to late september ...
so .. fess up.. how many pots do you have laying around???
i have 8 hosta since last spring [15 months ago].. and 3 more from this year.. and a pot of lilac i borrowed, with permission from a door i knocked on ... and a dozen picea pungens from 4 years ago.. that i should just throw out.. lol ...
Oh my. I am so bad about buying or accepting plants as gifts when I do not yet know where they go. I am starting to get caught up (which means that two weeks ago this number was higher) but I currently have sitting in pots on my driveway, patio, and porch:
3 hosta
3 geraniums
4 brunnera
1 dianthus
1 delphinium
4 phlox
2 spirea
6 pulmonaria
3 campanula
1 echinacea
1 shasta daisy
24 strawberry plants
And I'm sure there are more I've forgotten.
A few hundred (mostly in 2 1/2" pots, plants I grew from seed) all waiting for a bed to get tilled and amended. I'm running out of patience with my help to get this done. I want all of the plants in the ground during my vacation in less than two weeks, but I doubt that'll happen if I can't get the bed prepared. Sigh.
I winter sowed lots of new-to-me perennial seeds and got excellent germination on most, though not all. I should probably be glad about the ones that didn't germinate 'cause there are 158 gallon-size pots of lavender, rudbeckia, dianthus, Echinacea, lady's mantle, baptisia, blackberry lily, boltonia, hypericum, columbine, penstemon, Russian sage, spirea and globeflower, among others, on my breezeway waiting to be planted out.
I haven't planted anything the past few weeks because of the heat and lack of rain. I generally wait until the second half of September/early October when the sun is less intense and there's often a better chance for rain, to get things in the ground before winter. Whatever doesn't get planted out then goes into storage bins lined with newspapers inside my garage until spring.
Aren't pots of perennials handy for tucking in here & there?
I have several pots of serbian bellflower (Campanula poscharskyana) brightening up the patio pots that I'll remove once out of bloom. I keep some primrose in ground in summer, but pot up in fall to tuck under the cover of the porch to bloom in late winter near my front door out of the rain.
I have seedlings of Hellebores on a 3 tiered plant stand away from slugs (I hope) as well as starts of Corydalis lutea, and various groundcovers in pots waiting for the fall rains to come before I plant out back. I have some hosta from a trade waiting to grow up a bit before planting out as they were some of those Costco bagged ones that make me a bit leary of disease.
Then of course some other hardy plants I winter sowed that are punky & waiting around for me to get to 'em.
I'm jealous, echinaceam, but I hope we have rain soon here. It's very thundery right now and it should rain as I spent half the day watering.
I only have one plant I am holding, and that is a red flowering peach tree. It was pricey, for me, but I have been diligent with watering.
Around 25 (maybe a few more) various cuttings and seedlings from winter sowing. The ws seedlings were so pathetically tiny that I decided to re-pot so they could bulk up for fall planting.
You can plant pretty much anything in summer as long as you are willing to water several times a day and shade the new plant I find...
I only have a few - 2 roses, 2 russian sage, 2 salvia "wild thing" and one butterfly bush. They are all replacing things that either croaked during the winter or because of the winter. My poor deodar cedar that suffered so badly from our harsh winter pushed a bunch of new growth this spring but the intense heat of this summer dealt it a death blow and it is brown and crunchy now - replacing it with the russian sage which will do better in that intensely sunny and hot spot. Just waiting for it to cool down a bit....too hard on the plants to plant now, not to mention the gardener.

I have had no problem planting or transplanting during the summer...all that is needed is great soil and more importantly daily on-going watering until one sees signs of new growth.
Like echinaceamaniac I dared as well ~ very early AM *Strike while the iron is hot* could be both our middle names! Sank in 3 OSO Easy babes, one continued the non-stop blooms in a matter of days thru the H~E~A~T~W~A~V~E I did cheat & used landscaping sun-screen fab. Yesterday we sank in 5 Shenandoah Switch Grass ~ Ma Nature did the deep watering ~ poured down & followed by intermittent dousing all day & today is misty ~ what luck!!!
Awaiting w/ much anticipation arrival of 2 more Paprika & 4 Mango Salsa OSO Easy as soon as temps drop more.
Unexpectedly we had to cut down a huge limb-breaking/dropping very old Crabapple tree ~ Mighty Sun burned the entire Hosta plantation ~ given all away to willing diggers!
I wish all oven-hot gardens the same blessings we're receiving w/ a good 80s week ahead!!!
I just planted the agastache' Apricot Sunrise' I had in a pot, it's been kicking around since last fall. This is one tough little cookie it came though one of the worst winters we've ever had in a gallon pot with no protection.
Still have a Hosta, a couple of maidenhair ferns and one echinacea I bought last fall from a 'lost my tag rack' looks like it might be a short one, time will tell no flowers yet.
I used to hold plants but always ended up with troubles like encircling roots, roots grown out of the drain hole into the ground, and plants that never grew once they finally got planted. I don't buy plants I'm not ready to put in the ground. Cuttings go in the ground as soon as they are rooted. The only plants that don't make it are those that get stepped on by canine helper or veto'd by the squirrels.
Got one Tiger Eye sumac, one variegated Japanese maple, three pots of veronica Blue Bomb, and a flat of seedling hostas that are probably no-account green things, but they will fill spots in the lower woods where I won't risk feeding my high-dollar babies to the deer.
There are a slew of plants I need to move, but I'm waiting for a little bit cooler temperatures (not necessarily for the plants, I can water them, but for me!)
One. I am shocked at (or is it with) myself! I planted everything that I bought. I didn't buy any more and I've even weeded everywhere. I think I got someone else's get up and go. The magnolia Susan will go in the ground after a good soaking and will have a good soaking as needed.
Not a chance. ;)
Wellll maybe, just maybe, we can share.
You can have it back for a few days. I have to decide if the m Susan will give off too much shade, before I plant her where I was thinking of, so I need that get up and go once I've done my measuring and thinking.
1 Japanese Full Moon Maple
1 Umbrella Pine
1 Gold Arborvitae
1 Stewartia Pseudocamelia
1 Abies Koreana 'Silberlocke'
1 Picea Pungens 'Walnut Glen'
3 Streaked Hosta seedlings (DBxOP) that I winter sowed
About 20 more Hosta that are destined for two beds that are almost finished in terms of preparation.
Steve, your collection waiting to be planted is worth more than stocks.
Saturday I got in 6 hosta in the pouring rain. Easier said than done since involved many trips to get buckets of compost, back and forth to the hose, and heaving really crummy soil from the planting hole a distance away (kill weeds by smothering with sandy soil)Somehow I couldn't get myself organized to fill an entire wheelbarrow with compost or find one of the many turn-off valves we own to make watering easier. I'm sure I planted because this post was lurking in the conscience part of my brain.(which part is that?)
At least 6 shrubs to go.
idabean/aka Marie
I pushed hard to get my wintersown stuff in so I could relax in the August heat wave with little hand watering to do. Butt I ended up with holding a few things over
3 baby Eastern redbuds
6 Tacoma Maya gold (4 of them for giveaway this fall)
6 Great blue lobelia that are in the ground but must be relocated
4 slow-to-take-off prairie splender coneflowers (faster growing sidlings are already planted)
1 yellow flowering trumpet vine cutting destined for an outdoor pot
2 straberry foxglove seedlings in the same boat as the coneflowers
2 mallow mauritania from over generous germination that I just don't know where to plant
This is much better than last August, but they will have to wait until cooler weather now for their survival and mine.
I did plant two hardy plumbago pots last week end. But that means special watering until the rains come, which has not been happening in my garden, even when the resat of the area gets an inch of rain.
Just prepped a new bed. Ready to plant 2 of each and waiting on cooler weather
Dianthus coconut punch
Dianthus telstar scarlet
Amsonia Blue ice
Moss Phlox scarlet
Coreopsis Show stopper
Penstemon Husker red
Helianthus low down
Campanula glomerata alba
Echinacea pow wow
Will also eventually add Gaillardia Gallo peach and a couple of other echinacea to this bed.
Just planted in another bed
Hosta Patriot
Sedum Autumn Charm (variegated autumn fire)
Amazingly enough I don't have anything waiting to be planted. I did have to get a few things in the ground this spring that were from last year. I've bought a few plants this year but have spent more time moving things around and ripping things out. Some things have grown larger than I planned for, some were butt ugly and needed composting, some were just in the wrong spot.
I have 3 hosta sitting on my deck waiting to be planted..But here's the best, I bought for the first time ever a mandavilla plant in late April early May.Never got around to actually planting it so it sat on my deck next to a wrought iron chair and..yes it is thriving growing very nicely through the wrought iron chair.. It is a sight to behold.. LOL
Too many. I had to remove plants from a large holding bed and don't have new beds to put them in as it has been too cool & wet or hot & wet here all summer to make new beds. And just where will I put a long bed for lilies, daylilies and mums/asters?
More will be potted up when we redo the driveway this fall but those will go back into the same beds. Other plants are being removed as beds are reconfigured due to construction of a new deck late last fall.
Visitors took home 6 plants today and I have more to give away or sell this fall.
Too many. As usual. Most from a mid June stop at a nursery in another state I passed through. I did get some of the backlog planted about a month ago, but then several died from too much rain. I've lost even established plants this year from too much rain. I just checked the group of pots today, and some quart sized ones have died. Cerastium tomentosum. They looked fine a few days ago, so not sure what happened. They like it dry, so maybe even in the pots, and raised up on the deck, they drowned.
I got everything planted that was waiting, and moved some of the hostas......but now there is a rhododendron waiting, to replace one that died in the heat this summer. And I have a spot for three big eastern snowball bushes, divisions of a big one, that are going to wait to be moved in October or November. It's the never-ending plant conveyor belt. The just keep coming!
We've had our first cool day in many weeks, and this whole week is going to be more of the same. Time to get those little pots emptied and their contents planted in the garden, if I can just decide where . . ?? I've probably got at least 50 small pots of native perennials, native grasses, etc. as well as some lovely potted oriental lilies bought for 1/2 price after blooming. Glad I'm not the only one with a "pot ghetto" on my patio.
I plant all winter...but then I'm not zone5 either ;) For me, the best time is mid fall through earliest spring (April being about the end).
I planted a sweet bay magnolia last week, a fringe tree, and a possumhaw yesterday. I plugged in about 10 container grown perennials (some from my own late summer sowing) also yesterday.
Everything has been experiencing freezes and frosts, so all are hardened off, though still, the ground is the best place for them.
obviously, I haven't learned a fecking thing since there are MORE pots and stuff lying about despite my avowed intent to plant them (and it is not as if I am challenged for space either). A whole heap of tree seedlings are facing the prospect of another year in pots, another autumn has been and gone and it is certain death to plant in my rooty, waterless woodland in spring...and anyway, the hundreds of seedlings will be appearing any day now....sigh, it is endless and I have been so slack this winter.

Breakfast is always good, lunch and dinner it's a toss up for if it'll be good or not.

It depends on what you're studying.

N/A I haven't heard or been to one.

The food in the cafeteria is pretty good and relatively varied. My only complaint is that it closes somewhat early, but there are plenty of vending machines around for a late night snack.
Campus Housing:
The dorms are wonderful. They are in good condition and are a good size. The student lobby is comfortable and relatively quiet.
Campus Quality:
Concordia is a beautiful campus with great student resources. I just wish that the music department was a little bigger!
Happy with the flexibility my campus offers, as well as support in assisting me with my goals.

The Art of "Spirited Away"

Extremely disappointed.

I absolutely love the film and was hoping this book gave us a further insight in the art department or at least the art/animation process of the film. It has a few sketches and storyboard pages but 98% of the book consists of screenshot images from the movie. If you want a movie companion book, this... See full review

Adored the series and did not expect the excellent quality of this book. This is definitely a purchase that must be made by every Avatar fan out there.

Amazing quality product.....second to none!
I've ordered through the mail 10+ times, it always arrives neatly packaged, and has never been late.....:)
Yay Firefly!
FYI your phone number does not work.
I have been using Fireflygenetics for a few months. I am partially disabled and have bad episodes of pain and panic. The delivery of my medication is important for those episodes because it is not easy for me to go out.
I don't mind if they don't have a particular strain. The ones I have bought have helped with appetite and sleep, the two most annoying problems I have. Thanks a lot FG.
Oh, I wanted to mention my favorite, so far, has been Tangerine Kush. It helped with both problems.
Quick Med Delivery Via Mail!

I love that whole concept of ordering via online and receiving product through the mail. I have ordered once so far, but am very impressed with the professionalism in the containers and packaging in which the buds come in. I also really appreciate that the bud is lab tested. Fantastic site and service!
Here's the best!
3 peoplethought this review was helpful!
I have been getting my meds delivered from the amazing people at Firefly Genetics now for four or five months. I have not been disappointed once. The flowers are always potent, not riddled with seeds or stems, unlike the stuff available in Yakima. I just recently started using concentrates, they are wonderful! And the edibles, best I've ever had. Especially the four dose brownies, oh my they are so yummy!
They always reply in a timely manner when I've had a question or concern. They are also putting in a free item or two, at least once a month with my orders. And now I don't have to even leave my house to get my meds, and as I suffer from Crohns disease as well as anxiety, I have found my fit.
Thank you Firefly Genetics for all that you offer and do for mmj patients in Washington State! Keep up the awesome work.
don't waste your time with those other guys
3 peoplethought this review was helpful!
Stop searching for the right meds to fit your individual needs. Fireflygenetics are the best! Great quality. Helpful people, priced right. And above all quality products. I can't say that enough. Oh ya, Overnight Delivery! For those of us who live far from town, it's great.
Thank you Fireflygenetics.
Above and beyond

The owner of this place is a true gentleman. I called for the first time today, in fact this was the first dispensary I've contacted. I was not aware they are closed on Sundays, but with out hesitating the owner himself came over. I will order again. also hats of on your presentation, its just icing on the cake!!!

Acton Institute Director of Research and author of Tea Party Catholic Samuel Gregg joined host John Pinhiero for a discussion of his latest book and the Catholic influence on the American founding on Faith and Reason, Pinhiero's new show on Holy Family Radio in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, Michigan. The wide-ranging discussion lasted a full broadcast hour, and can be heard using the audio player below.
While imprisoned by the Nazis at Tegel military prison, and shortly after learning of the last failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Dietrich Bonhoeffer penned a short poem for his friend, Eberhard Bethge, titled "Stations on the Road to Freedom."
I've come across the poem before, but in recently reading Eric Metaxas' fine biography of the man, I was reminded of its power and potency in describing the essence of Christian freedom. It becomes all the more compelling given its context, serving as a "distillation of his theology at the time," as Metaxas describes it.
Though we must be careful to appreciate the time and place from which it sprung, it brings with it plenty of implications for the ways in which we order our lives and allegiances. Indeed, in his prodding toward obedience, discipline, and submission to God — features many would find contradictory or in opposition to freedom — Bonhoeffer's embrace of this profound paradox dovetails quite nicely with Lord Acton's famous notion of "defining liberty not as the power of doing what we like, but the right of being able to do what we ought."
Acton Institute President Rev. Robert A. Sirico made an appearance on The Price of Business with host Kevin Price on Business 1110 KTEK in Houston, Texas. The conversation focused on the importance of liberty and the vital need to understand the foundations of our freedoms. You can listen to the interview via the audio player below.
Perhaps it's because we Americans are still getting over Christmas, or talking about the Super Bowl, but National Religious Freedom Day doesn't get a lot of press. But indeed: January 16 is National Religious Freedom Day, adopted originally by the state of Virginia and now remembered annually by the White House. Penned by Thomas Jefferson, the Statute for Religious Freedom reads, in part:
Be it enacted by General Assembly that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of Religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge or affect their civil capacities. And though we well know that this Assembly elected by the people for the ordinary purposes of Legislation only, have no power to restrain the acts of succeeding Assemblies constituted with powers equal to our own, and that therefore to declare this act irrevocable would be of no effect in law; yet we are free to declare, and do declare that the rights hereby asserted, are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was fond of saying that the "arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." This was no thin, pragmatic account of rights-based egalitarian liberalism, says Derek Rishmawy, but rather a philosophically and theologically thick appeal to a divinely ordered and sustained cosmos.
As Rishmawy notes, it is simply impossible to separate King's denunciation of racism and segregation from his Christian confession and theological convictions about the nature of the universe:
The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., like most mortals, evokes a certain ambivalence regarding what should be celebrated and what should be rightly critiqued. There are certainly parts of his life and thinking that warrant correction, rebuke, and challenge, but this will be true of all us if we live long enough. On this MLK holiday, however, I am thinking about my parents. My parents spent the first third of their lives being denied the equal application of the rule of law because of Jim Crow laws.
During Jim Crow, my parents could not trust the justice system. State and local courts of justice were unreliable. My parents were not free to take roads trips wherever they pleased, especially at night. They were not allowed to attend certain elementary and high schools. They were not allowed to even apply to several colleges. They were not allowed to equally compete in the marketplace against whites in the South. What made Jim Crow additionally immoral is that they were laws that protected a particular class of people so that they could not suffer the consequences of racial discrimination. Jim Crow protected whites in the South from learning the hard lesson that racial discrimination is bad for business and undermines social flourishing.
It's easy to read that headline and think, "Wha…?" What in the world do Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, Catholic Sisters and our present day health laws have to do with each other? I'm glad you asked.
More than 200 years ago, the Ursuline Sisters of France were fleeing the French Revolution and seeking a new home in New Orleans. They planned to open schools, hospitals and orphanages, but wanted to make sure that the U.S. government, now in control of New Orleans, would not meddle in their plans – separation of church and state, you see. They wrote to President Thomas Jefferson with their concerns; Jefferson's response? (more…)
Today, Professor Helen Alvaré of George Mason University, testified before the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice regarding taxpayer-funded abortions under Obamacare. Alvaré, who teaches family law, law and religion, and property law, states that Americans have never understood abortion as a "good," and that abortion cannot be labeled health care. The video below is her testimony.
While the University of Notre Dame has decided to comply with the HHS mandate requiring employers to cover contraception, abortifacients and abortions in employee health insurance, the University of Dallas continues to fight the mandate.
The University of Dallas, a Catholic institution founded in 1910 by the Vincentian Fathers, received a preliminary injunction on January 2, 2014, that would relieve the university of the necessity to comply with the mandate. (more…)
