50th reunion time! Mark your calendars for June 19 to 21. Here's a list of those who've told me they likely will attend the festivities: Ed Doherty, Mark Hanket, Carl Heintel, Jack Kenesey, Jack Mesker, Tom Pogros, John Rioux, John Whelan, Jim Winchester, and Frank Wright. Others might have notified the alumni office directly.
Ed Doherty has been volunteering in Ghana, where he does organizational development. This is his fourth volunteer assignment this year for ACDI/VOCA – a nonprofit, international development organization that delivers technical and management help to the agribusiness, financial services, enterprise development, community development, and food security fields. He has also worked in Nigeria and Kyrgyzstan. Next year Ed will be working with Catholic Relief Services in Kenya. He says it's exciting work.
Mark Hanket and his wife, Carole, moved to Murfreesboro, Tenn., last August. They were driven South by last year's coldest and snowiest winter on record for southeast Michigan, where they had been living. They have four grandchildren in Murfreesboro, which is the main reason for their move. Mark and Carole also have a fifth grandchild in the greater Philadelphia area, so they still have some travel in their future. Furthermore, they plan on spending the winter in Venice, Fla., from January through March.
Carl Heintel has been building and rehabbing homes with Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity for the past 12 years.
As for your class columnist, I spent a month in France. While my wife attended a professional conference, I explored the Normandy invasion beaches. We then reunited for a visit to Saint-Malo and Mont Saint-Michel before travelling south to Vichy, Vaison-la-Romaine (in Provence), and finally, Marseille. After a week by the sea, we flew to Paris for several days before going home. Hope to see you in June!

Our 50th reunion weekend is scheduled for June 19 – 21, 2015, so mark it on your calendars now. I'm looking forward to a large turnout of our class.
I received an email from Rick Rea, the class of '75 columnist, who described a recent accidental meeting with Patrick Smith while sitting next to him in a diner in Kirkwood, Mo. Rick said Pat retired from Allegiant Mortgage and is helping his son, Steve, run a tavern in south St. Louis. Rick and Pat enjoyed reminiscing about campus life and spoke about the upcoming reunions next summer. Dan Peitzmeyer wrote to me from the beach during a getaway with his wife to Kauai this summer. He'd like to travel more but his wife, Judy, is still involved with theater, so Dan is left with solo trips to ski or sail with his buddies. Dan continues his involvement with the Death Penalty Alternatives for Arizona. I spent a month in France to visit in-laws and take advantage of some time on my own while my wife, Cecile, attended a professional conference in Normandy. We traveled by car to St. Malo, Vichy, Vaison la Romaine, Marseille, and Paris. I celebrated my 71st birthday in a small restaurant in Ansouis, a quiet village in Provence. Lunch was followed by a quick trip to Lourmarin, a nearby town, for a visit to the grave of Albert Camus.
Remember, think 50th!

Dan Peitzmeyer was excited to turn 70 on Feb. 23. His age will allow him to receive an annual pass at the Arizona Snowbowl, an alpine ski resort located on the San Francisco Peaks, and Sunrise Park Resort, Arizona's premier ski destination in the White Mountains. I'm not sure if Dan was able to use his pass because this past winter was one of the driest and warmest on record, and snow conditions were dismal. In fact, the resorts might have closed before he received his pass! Dan continues to work with Death Penalty Alternatives for Arizona, saying there's a better way by replacing the state's death penalty with fair, victim-centered, and cost-efficient alternatives.
Frank Kelley '64 was nice enough to send information about the undefeated football teams of the 1962 and 1963 seasons being inducted into the JCU Athletic Hall of Fame during the induction dinner held as part of homecoming weekend last September. Members of those teams who attended the ceremony from our class included Frank Wright, Ron Niedzwiecki,Jack Loeffler, John Rioux, and Dennis DeJulius. In addition to being honored on Friday night, all 31 players from the classes of '63 to '66 were introduced on the field at halftime of the homecoming game. The honorees received a rousing standing ovation at both events. Deceased players from our class who were given special recognition are Bill Kickel and Mike Mazzucca. One particular game-saving clutch moment was Jack Loeffler's touchdown catch among three defenders with two minutes left in the 1963 game at Western Reserve. That puts the undefeated season in perspective.
Larry Guzy continues as the president of the Oneonta, N.Y., Rotary Club District 7170, which he describes as a great organization. The rotary has managed to fill his time now that he has retired from academia.
In February, Jack Kenesey returned from a few days in Puerto Rico. I'm not sure what Jack was doing there, but I assume it was legal.
Your columnist and his wife stayed closer to home this holiday season. Last year, we went to India; this year, we went to the Florida Keys and Miami. We stopped by Don Shula's '51 restaurant in Islamorada, Shula's 2, but it was closed. I don't suppose Don hangs out there much anyhow. Our 50th reunion is getting closer. Keep your schedules open.

Ron Foth is still active with his advertising business, Ron Foth Advertising (ronfoth.com), but his two sons, Mike and Ron Jr., take care of the day-to-day activities. Ron started the firm in 1975, 10 years after graduating from Carroll, and has enjoyed producing advertising for clients throughout the U.S. and in Europe. Earlier this year, his firm was presented the 1st annual Advancing Field Media Excellence award by Wendy's (one of his clients) for a creation featuring well-known ESPN sports legend Dick Vitale and focusing on Wendy's Baconator sandwich. The campaign ran during the 2013 basketball season for March Madness and included TV and radio commercials, digital ads, in store signage, ringtones, and a unique contest to have lunch at Wendy's with Dick Vitale. This is the first time Wendy's presented this national award, so Ron was proud to be the first ad agency selected for this recognition.
Mary Ann and Jack Kenesey traveled to Israel and the West Bank in January and February and said it was the trip of a lifetime.
Hugh Largey says his wife, Laura, joined him in retirement this year, which led them to discover more mutual fulfillment in crusading for their shared social issues through volunteering their services to such organizations as Catholics for the Common Good and the California Knights of Columbus.
Larry Guzy was elected president of the Rotary Club in Oneonta, N.Y. Larry, who describes the club as a wonderful service organization, is busy as president. He was involved with distributing dictionaries to all the third graders and thesauruses to the sixth graders in the Oneonta School District. This might seem out of synch with the availability of the Internet; however, several of the third graders were excited with the books and indicated they don't need batteries or a WiFi signal. Larry also declared, "Our 50th reunion is almost here; I plan to attend."
Your columnist and his wife, Cecile, spent several weeks in Paris and southern France in September, visiting with her family and exploring out-of-the-way tourist attractions because we've already seen the major attractions many times. The trip was preceded by a week in New York City, which we found was much noisier and dysfunctional than previous trips, when we were much younger, more tolerant, and didn't fall asleep after dinner.
Don't be shy. Send me your news – now! And don't forget our 50th coming up in 2015. Larry wants to see you there.

Kip Zegers informed me his ninth book of poetry, "The Poet of Schools," was published by Dos Madres Press in Loveland, Ohio, and is available online (dosmadres.com). This completes Kip's series of poems about teaching, New York City, and working with brilliant kids in good times and after 9/11.
Jim Worley was named manager of a $64-million project to provide energy, security, and independence for the Army base in Fort Knox, Ky. His wife keeps asking when he's going to retire and his answer is: "As soon as the tunnel to the gold vault is done."
Roger Abood '67G retired from St. Peter Chanel High School in Bedford, Ohio, five years ago after 41 years, the last 21 as principal and president. Roger spent the past five years working part time at Notre Dame College in South Euclid, Ohio, as the coordinator of dual enrollment programs. He and his wife, Kathy, have 12 grandchildren, all living within 40 minutes of them in Brecksville, Ohio. Keeping up with the grandchildren keeps them busy and feeling young.
Marty McNamara returned from Panama, where he helped celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps. He served there from 1965 to 1967. During the trip, he saw the construction of the new Panama Canal locks that will accommodate enormous ships. The Peace Corps set Marty's path in life to international business where he spent the next 22 years in eight different countries in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia. He's now retired in suburban Denver.
I note the passing of several classmates. Ralph Nottoli died May 6 from complications from a blood transfusion after being diagnosed with cancer. Ralph worked for Proctor & Gamble and then as a representative for an electric supply company that brought him to the RV industry in Elkhart, Ind., where he co-created Leer, a manufacturer of truck covers and accessories. After selling Leer in 1987, Ralph formed a partnership to build Summit Grove Office Park in Conyers, Ga. He was part of St. Vincent DePaul at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Stone Mountain, Ga., for 28 years. Ralph is survived by his wife of 48 years, Etta, and three children: Joe, Meg, and Susan. He has 10 grandchildren. Joseph Fiala of Worthington, Ohio; Mary Ann Rogers of Cleveland; and Sr. Donna Emerson, CSJ, also of Cleveland, passed away since my last column.
As for your columnist, my wife and I spent 10 days in Guatemala in March where we visited Guatemala City (not recommended!), the Mayan Ruins at Tikal (with infrequent electricity), and Holy Week in Antigua (a wonderfully colorful experience) with a side trip to Lake Atitlan.

Larry Guzy contacted me to say that, after 43 years of teaching and conducting research with his students, he formally retired this past September. He's still conducting research with college and high school students. They're investigating the accuracy of recognizing underlying emotions when the face is swollen. Larry! No wonder I can never figure out if a prizefighter is glad he won.
Doug Kaputa '66 reports Charles Prochaska visited him for several days en route from Alabama to Newark, Del., where Charles was delivering relief items to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Doug and Charles had been in each other's weddings a long while back, so they had a lot of reconnecting to do.
Dan Peitzmeyer is working as an anti-death-penalty activist in Arizona, where he created an online petition he hopes will motivate Republican state Sen. Rick Murphy, chairman of the judiciary committee, to hear a bill to end the death penalty. Dan heads an organization called Death Penalty Alternatives for Arizona. "The arbitrary nature with which we apply the death penalty is appalling," Dan says. "I don't believe we're executing the worst of the worst. I believe we're executing the poorest of the worst, or the ones who had the worst upbringing, or the ones who had the worst representation."
My wife and I returned from India in early January when we spent three weeks touring Rajasthan (Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur, and Kumbhalgarh), Agra to see the Taj Mahal, and Benares to witness the cremation of the dead along the banks of the Ganges. The trip home took three days because of airplane delays and cancellations in New Delhi and Beijing, with additional overnight stays in both capitals. An unforgettable trip but one we wouldn't repeat. Knowing we had just been to India, Doug Kaputa wrote to me saying he and his wife went there in 2011 and traveled some of the same Delhi-Japiur-Agra-Delhi trip. Doug's son works for a company that works in India, so they spent a week there in five-star hotels and had a car with a driver. Doug opines the Indian populace drives worse than the people in New Jersey. I agree, although I no longer vacation in New Jersey. Best wishes, and send your news.

Alan Westendorf and his wife of 45 years, Margie, moved back to the Cleveland area after being away for more than 25 years, nine of which were spent in Geneva and Madrid, Spain. They returned to a house they built in Chagrin Falls and will spend five months a year there. The balance of the time will be spent at their home in Bonita Springs, Fla. Alan retired from the position of president of Praxair Europe in 2005 after 40 years with Union Carbide/ Praxair. Alan and Margie have four adult children and eight grandchildren, half of whom live in Chagrin Falls.
Every year John Rioux and his wife, Diane, vacation for two days in Florida with Carroll '64 grads Tom Moore, Tom Nash, Tony Petricca, Jim Capparelli, Tony Caputa, and Tad Walters. The 2013 gathering is scheduled for March 8 and 9 in Sarasota.
Ken Esper '70G hopes his JCU buddies are doing well and being blessed with good health. He's still trying to contact former roommate David Owen '66. If you have any info about Dave, contact Ken (email@example.com or 843-457-2555).
In March, your intrepid correspondent and his wife are headed for Guatemala where we hope to catch a bit of sun and warmth after a long, dark winter in the Pacific Northwest.

In retirement, Hugh Largey jumped at an opportunity to create his own AM radio talk show named "The Life is Worth Loving Hour with your Host Hugh Largey" on Catholic Radio of San Diego. The one-year experience was a great ride for Hugh and afforded him an opportunity to interview guests such as Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., about his proofs for the existence of God without using religion, and Fr. Frank Pavone, founder of Priests for Life. After the program ended because the station was sold, Hugh turned to another volunteer job as president of the San Diego Knights of Columbus Chapter Charities and then to new duties as Knights of Columbus California State Chairman for the Culture of Life – Saving Lives and Changing Lives. During Hugh's full-time volunteer employment this year, his most enjoyable moment was giving a speech to a crowd of 2,000 at the downtown San Diego Religious Freedom Rally.
Don Novotny continues his practice of dentistry in Huron, Ohio. After graduating JCU with a Bachelor of Science in physics, he earned his dental degree from Case Western Reserve University. Don, a member of the American Dental Association, is part of one percent of dental professionals providing the most recent FDA cleared procedure for gum disease and periodontal treatment called LANAP laser treatment, an alternative to traditional treatments that doesn't require cutting or sutures. We all can like those types of dental treatments.
Since retiring, Ray Karcher has been trying to improve his golf game, without much success. Last tax season, he volunteered with the AARP tax assistance program and plans to continue to do so. Other than that, Ray travels a bit and works to keep the house in good shape.
As for me, I spent June and part of July in Greece and Southern France with my wife, Cecile. The heat wave hit us hard, especially in Greece where we "enjoyed" the 107 degree heat of Athens. It was nice to finally get to Southern France where we experienced a cold snap – in the 90s. My wife and I plan to travel to India, principally Rajasthan, in December and don't expect to be greeted by cool weather.
Don't be shy about sending news. Keep June 2015 open for our 50th reunion.

In an email exchange last February, I learned Ray Karcher had traveled from his abode in cold Michigan to Carlsbad, Calif., where he and his wife were enjoying the good weather for a month while working on their new condo.
On May 3, Joe Whelan received the Alumni Educator Award, given by the JCU Department of Education and Allied Studies, in recognition of outstanding achievement by an alumnus in the field of education.
Larry Guzy is retiring from teaching at the State University of New York in Oneonta. After 39 years of teaching, mentoring, and a collection of administrative duties at SUNY with four years at other institutions, he's excited to devote more time to research and writing about such topics as motion sickness and visual illusions.
Jack Mesker and his wife, Sharon, celebrated the birth of their ninth grandchild. Jack says he now has his baseball team, but there's no way he'll try to manage them. Jack also reports Sharon's arthritis and bad knees are hindering their plans to travel to Chile to meet their adopted grandson. She's not agreeable to the long flight.
As someone who also has a bad knee, I share her concerns. Even so, I traveled to Albuquerque, N.M., in early March for the wedding of my niece, Heather, to an anesthesiologist from Shanghai, China. It was an interesting fusion of Irish and Chinese cultures – Guinness and dim sum. In June, my wife, Cecile, and I spent several weeks in Greece where she attended a conference in Salonika while I played a tourist during the day. We followed that visit with several days on the island of Santorini and a few nights in Athens. We capped off the trip by spending 10 days in southern France with Cecile's family in and near Marseille.
If you haven't noticed, we are inching toward our 50th class reunion in 2015. The three years will go by quickly. As usual, the gathering will probably be in June, so keep that month open.

Jo and Bill Otter were off to Buenos Aires and Rosario, Argentina, in February to visit railroad friends. They're also going to Alaska with the American Association of Railroad Superintendents in May. Bill and Jo have five kids, six grandkids, and four granddogs. Bill's dad, also Bill Otter (Loyola Academy '35), is 94 years old and doing well. The two went train riding together before Christmas and had fun, which Bill defines as not getting derailed.
John Mieyal, professor of pharmacology at Case Western Reserve University, appeared on National Public Radio in January. He also conducted a science café at the Market Garden Brewery in Ohio City. The café is a public event for lay people to have a beer and ask questions about science relevant to living in today's world.
Neil Evans' last vacation was in 1986 because of health issues, although he retired as a teacher in 1995. Neil is interested in photography and was part of a threeman photography show at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Akron for two months. He has more than 2,000 photos on his Flickr site. Conduct a people search and type in ncevans to see his pics.
Dan Peitzmeyer stopped working full time six years ago while his wife, Judy Rollings, continues to enjoy her work in theater. Her younger son, Matt, is a musician and has toured the world extensively. Dan and Judy became groupies and, in 2010, followed the band in England and France. Luckily, they were able to meet Tom McKay and his wife, Ruth, for dinner in a London pub before a concert in Royal Albert Hall. Tom and Ruth had just arrived from Cleveland that day. Dan, on his own, also makes an annual stag week trip to Colorado to ski at Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, etc. On the next trip, he hopes to catch up with Marty Bunker '67. Marty, a retired USAF lieutenant colonel, and his wife, Marilyn, have resided in Colorado Springs for almost 30 years. Dan is a part-time hospital chaplain, schedule permitting. He also works in social justice ministries with the homeless, elderly, migrants, and prisoners, while seeking to reform criminal sentencing and abolish the death penalty. Last year, he attended the annual conference of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty at the Arizona/Mexico border, participating in Derechos Humanos' Migrant Trail, and at the School of the Americas watch vigil at Fort Benning in Columbus, Ga., where, among the thousands, he found JCU students.
In December, your columnist and his wife, Cecile, returned from a fabulous three-week trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. It was the trip of a lifetime.

Larry Guzy has nothing to report, which is a report in itself. Other than that, the class of '65 is oddly silent.
I discovered through Facebook that Ron Nemeth and his wife, Mary, recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. Earlier in the year, Ron and Mary traveled to Prague and Vienna, not to mention a few trips within the U.S. It's difficult to keep up with them.
Your columnist spent several weeks in Europe at the end of summer. My wife, Cecile, and I traveled to Strasbourg, France, where we took the opportunity to visit the many sights in the Alsace area. We also spent one day in Baden-Baden, Germany, where we enjoyed currywurst for lunch. Our last week was spent in Paris, fending off the last of the September vacationers, most of whom seemed to be from Eastern Europe. On Sept. 7, my wife treated me to a great birthday dinner, Parisian style.
And this from Marilyn Hormann '65G, which was accidentally omitted from my last column: "Enjoyed a vacation in Reno. Nev., with friends in July. God's people and creation are amazing."
Remember, no news is no news, so consider sending me some for the next column.

Dennis McSeveney writes he retired a couple of years ago after a long and productive career at the University of New Orleans. Upon his retirement, the LSU system awarded him the titles professor emeritus of sociology, dean emeritus of the College of Liberal Arts, and associate provost emeritus. Dennis served as a member of the Council of Alpha Kappa Delta, the International Sociology Honor Society, as its representative to the Association of College Honor Societies for many years. In February, he was elected president of the Association of College Honor Societies. Dennis also was elected treasurer of the Urban League of Greater New Orleans and assumed that position in July. He's also a member of the board of directors of the ACE Mentor Program in New Orleans. More importantly, he married Nance Harding, a psychotherapist with a private practice who works in the corporate sector, two years ago.
Larry Guzy was nominated and elected a fellow in the Aerospace Human Factors Association, a branch of the Aerospace Medical Association.
And this from Marilyn Hormann '65G: "John Tarpey and Mark Hanket are looking forward to our 50th Carroll reunion already and wonder how many of you might be interested in doing something extra. They're thinking of a cruise or trip to somewhere exotic, departing from Cleveland the Sunday or Monday following reunion. John and Mark would like an indication of interest. If you're so inclined, reply to Mark (firstname.lastname@example.com). Mark's 50th high school reunion is in Columbus this year in mid-August. All of us probably have the honor of celebrating that milestone this year. Tempus fugit.
My 50th reunion from Cleveland Heights High School was at the end of July. In December, my wife and I will travel to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Before that, in late October, I plan to attend the 60-year anniversary celebration of the Pershing Rifles at JCU. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you there.

In December, Governor David A. Paterson of New York announced the appointment of his counsel, Pete Kiernan, as the chair of the New York State Law Revision Commission, which examines and considers proposed changes in the law, recommending such changes in the law as it deems necessary and reporting its proceedings annually to the legislature with proposed bills to carry out any of its recommendations. Pete has been Gov. Paterson's counsel since November 2008.
William Kickel, who lived in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, passed away Oct. 23, 2010, in Pequot Lakes, Minn., after suffering from dementia for several years. He's survived by his son, Graig, and daughter, Rebecca.
Joe Whelan reported about recent events with his consulting firm Whelan International. Joe recently spoke in Scottsdale, Ariz., to the 28th Annual Effective Schools Conference. In the past year or so, Joe has provided training in differentiated instruction to schools and groups throughout Cleveland and in New Jersey, Illinois, Minnesota, and California.
My wife and I spent 10 days in Marseille, France, in March visiting her family and exploring the less traveled areas of that city. Guidebooks rarely suggest visiting Marseille, but they're missing the call on hidden treasures. I'll be in Cleveland this month to attend my 50th reunion from Cleveland Heights High School. Can it have been that long already? Get prepared for our 50th at JCU in 2015. Let me hear news about your travels and activities in retirement.

With sadness, I report Frank Vermes, D.O., passed away in November in Fort Myers, Fla. Frank had a private medical practice in Columbus, Ohio, from which he retired in 1998. He leaves his wife, Trish, their two children, and three grandchildren. Frank was a valued member of the Pershing Rifles (PRs) where I met him in 1961. I recall him as a good-natured fellow, always ready to find humor in any situation. You can remember Frank by sending contributions to the Animal Refuge Center, P.O. Box 6642, Ft. Myers, FL 33911. Frank's passing created a flurry of e-mails that reconnected me with former PRs Doug Kaputa '66, Ron Nemeth, Tom Etowski '64, John Morris '66, Ellis Keefer '64, John Marcy '63, Steve Christian '63, Bob Schulz '63, Dick Foster '64, Mike O'Halloran '63, and Andy Zwarun.
In New York City, Kip Zegers is in his 27th year of teaching at Hunter College High School with no thoughts of retiring – so far. His seventh book, "Reading Whitman in Manhattan," was published recently by Foothills Publishing/Hunter College Center for Gifted Studies and Education (available at foothillspublishing.com). Kip's daughter, Annie, is a freshman at Muhlenberg College and his wife, Jill Crandall, is clinical professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Jack Mesker, who has a vacation lake house at Lake Greenwood, S.C., is looking forward to fishing trips and family get-togethers. Jack and his wife, Sharon, also took a 12-day trip to Italy that fulfilled her life-long dream. Sharon fell just before the trip, so she needed a wheelchair. Jack says he lost weight pushing the wheelchair on cobblestones. The wheelchair allowed them to sit in the front row to see the pope, which was the highlight of their trip. Another moving experience for them was a visit to the veterans' cemeteries in Anzio. Jack wants to travel to Alaska but, in the meantime, visitors are welcomed at his place.
Ken Esper has been communicating with Gary Franko and Denny Danalchak '66, who are doing well, although a few pounds heavier than their playing weights. Ken still is trying to find his JCU roommate, Dave Owen '66. Contact Ken at firstname.lastname@example.com if you know Dave's location.
The three musketeers: Jay Brungo, Duane Kexel, and Tom McGrath are planning a trip to Eastern Europe with their wives in October. Tom says it should be fun. I'll warn Interpol.
Your columnist continued his peripatetic lifestyle this past December by travelling to French Polynesia, including Tahiti, the islands of Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa in the Marquises, and Moorea. Nothing like heat and humidity to make one forget the rain and cold of the Pacific Northwest in winter.

Doug Kaputa '66 recently wrote he and his wife planned to be in Cleveland for the 50th anniversary of his wife's elementary class at Gesu School. Doug also was planning to attend the September Pershing Rifles reunion and celebrate the 60th anniversary of ROTC on campus. I attended Gesu for one year in 1950, which must have been the first year of ROTC at Carroll because I remember watching the cadets march in the area that's now occupied by Sutowski and Murphy Halls. Little did I know, then age 6, I'd be second in student command of the Cadet Corps in 1965.
Chuck Friedman reported he had a pleasant Fourth of July visit to Cleveland where he attended a concert by the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Center followed by a huge fireworks display. Chuck is still working despite my advice retirement is really good – better than fireworks.
My wife and I spent two weeks in Peru this summer. The first week was in Lima. Then we went to Aguas Calientes, the gateway to the ruins at Machu Picchu. This was the first vacation during which I lost several pounds climbing around at high altitudes. Our last five days were spent in Cuzco and the Sacred Valley area. In September, we traveled to France where my wife researched at the state archives in Caen at the Abbaye d'Ardennes, an abbey of the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré founded by St. Norbert in the 12th Century. (Yes, I had to look it up.) While she researched, I revisited the beaches of Normandy, the U.S. cemetery at Coleville, and the village of Ste- Mère-Église where Private John Steele of the 82nd Airborne Division is still hanging from the bell tower by his parachute risers.
Looking for more news, especially from those of you who might have had the opportunity to attend the PR reunion and the ROTC anniversary.

Larry Guzy reports, this past year he chaired the Strategic Plan and Resource Council at SUNY College at Oneonta (N.Y.). Larry describes the council's work as a significant undertaking that ended successfully with a doable action plan. "I'm glad it's over," he says. "Now, I can get back to my students."
Dan Peitzmeyer brought me up to date on his life since JCU. At first, he spent four years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force, followed by another 24 in the Guard and Reserves, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. Along the way, he had two children. His civilian employment had great variety, generally in sales and sales management. After his 27-year-old son, Kurt, died in an accident, Dan left the business world and took the path to spiritual care, joining a national training program to become a chaplain in local hospitals, hospices, and treatment centers. Dan gave up full-time employment three years ago but still does relief and on-call work while devoting his efforts to social justice issues. He's active in various civil rights issues, such as immigration, criminal justice, sentencing reform, and abolishment of the death penalty. Dan is married to Judy Rollings, a professional actor, director, and producer. He confesses to following her as a part-time thespian. Dan and Judy also enjoy an increased opportunity to travel, usually to see family in Connecticut, Phoenix, and Los Angeles.
Recently, I had a phone conversation with Sandee Krajniak Slavik, sister of our late classmate, Chuck Krajniak. I hadn't seen Sandee since 1965, but we had a good time reminiscing about Chuck's life. Sandee indicated there's a memorial site for Chuck (www.mem.com) where the family has posted photographs. Visitors also can post comments.
A trip to Seattle in June by Jack Kenesey and his wife, Mary Ann, afforded us the opportunity to meet over dinner. We did the usual reminiscing – a minireunion because neither could make the official one in Cleveland.
Those who were able to make that reunion were: Roger Abood, John Brungo, John Chandler, Ken Esper, Ed Ferrall, Eugene Hamilton, Mark Hanket, John Hruska, Duane Kexel, Ken Kuechle, Hugh Largey, Tom McGrath, Fred Nista, Ralph Nottoli, John Tarpey, Joe Whelan, and John Zaremba. Gary McPhillips '67 also was there. Hope all had a good time. Let me know if there's anyone I may have missed.
Start planning now to attend our 50th in 2015.

Hugh Largey is currently among the "formerly employed" in San Diego, CA, where he is devoting more time to fulfilling volunteer service opportunities afforded by the Knights of Columbus. Hugh is also working very hard to keep his wife, Laura, happily employed full time, which is their "insurance plan," at least until the economy turns around. Both Hugh and Laura work with Catholics for the Common Good, which deals with the protection of children and the preservation of traditional marriage. Hugh said he was looking forward to our Reunion in June.
Sharon and Jack Mesker had a busy 2009 with the birth of two grandchildren, one in Atlanta, GA, and another in Birmingham, AL, for a grand total of eight — one more and it's a baseball team. Jack's fishing is taking a back seat to family events but, he and Sharon are traveling, starting with 10 days in Italy this fall. In his spare time, Jack is chairman of the Greenville, SC, Disabilities Board, serves on his homeowners association, is on the local parish Finance Council, and is financial secretary with the Knights of Columbus. He says that anybody near or passing through Greenville or Spartanburg should get in touch.

Rejoicing and Remembering
(No. 2461)
"We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine." Song of Solomon 1:4.
IT is a very blessed habit of saints who have grown in Grace to enter into actual conversation with the Well-Beloved. Our text is not so much speaking of Him as speaking to Him—"We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine." Of course, in prayer and in praise, we speak to God, but I suggest that we should seek to have much more of intense and familiar conversations with the Lord Jesus Christ than the most of us at present enjoy. I find it good, sometimes in prayer, to say nothing, but to sit or kneel quite still and to look up to my Lord in adoring silence—and then sometimes to talk to Him, not asking anything of Him, but just speaking familiarly with Jesus, realizing Him to be present, and waiting to hear Him speak until some precious Word of His from Scripture comes into my soul as with living accents newly-spoken by those dear lips which are as lilies dropping sweet-smelling myrrh! The French have a word which they use concerning that conversation which is common among those who love one another, or are on terms of intimate friendship. They call it, "tutoyage," for they say, "you" and, "your," to one another, instead of the more formal language used towards strangers. I like that form of expression that is used in our text and delight to meet with souls that are brought into so rapt a state of fellowship with Christ that they can speak to Him in this familiar fashion, "We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine."
If you, dear Friends, have not lately conversed with Jesus, do so now in the quietude of your own spirit. Think that His shadow is over you—do not let it be mere imagination, but let it be what is far better than that—a true realizing faith—for if He is present where two or three are met together in His name, rest assured that He is not absent where this great assembly of His people has come together to commemorate His passion and His death! You are here, blessed Mas-ter—we are sure that You are and we worship You and speak with You as really as if we could see You with that vesture on, woven from the top throughout—as truly as if we saw You, now, lifting that beloved pierced hand and laying it upon us! And we say to You from the bottom of our hearts, "We will rejoice and be glad in You, we will remember Your love more than wine." This text is not so much for me to explain, dear Friends, as for you to enjoy! Forget all about the preacher, but take the text and part it among yourselves—extract as much as you can of its spiritual nourishment and feed upon it!
I. As you do so, you will notice, first, that we have, here, A DOUBLE RESOLVE— "We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine."
I may say of that resolve that it is, first, a necessary resolve, for it is not according to human nature to rejoice in Christ. It is not according to the tendency of our poor fallen state to remember His love. There must be an act of the will with regard to this resolve—let us will it now—"We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine." There are so many things that try to come in between our souls and our Savior, so many sorrows that would prevent our rejoicing in Him, that we must be resolved to be glad in Him whatever our sorrows may be. Down with you, sorrows! Down with you! We have said unto the Lord that we will be glad and rejoice in Him and we mean to prove our words to be true! Then there are so many troublous thoughts that come flying in to mar our full fellowship with our Lord. However tightly windows may be closed and doors may be shut, these thoughts will find an entrance and we get to remembering the sick child at home, or some care that has afflicted us during the week. Oh, but, Lord, we will not remember these things, now! We say to You from our hearts, "We will—we will—we will remember Your love!" Away with you, care, sorrow, grief—away with you! Come to me, O Holy Spirit, and help me, now, to have a happy time, to be glad and rejoice in my Lord—and to have a holy time—to remember His love and to remember nothing else!
You must will it most intensely, dear Friends, or it will not come to pass. It is not sufficient to merely walk into a place of worship and put ourselves into the posture of devotion—and then to imagine that, doing whatever is proper to the place and the hour—we shall have fellowship with Jesus. Oh, no, Beloved! Oh, no! We must worship Him in spirit and in truth, not in fiction and in sham—not mechanically, as though we could have true fellowship with Him without earnest and intense desire. No, there must be these two utterances of our holy resolve, "We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine."
And truly, dear Friends, as this resolve is necessary, it is also a right and proper resolve. Should we not be glad and rejoice in Christ?—
"Why should the children of a King Go mourning all their days?"
Why should the children of the bride-chamber fast while the Bridegroom is with them? With such a Husband as we have in Christ, should not the spouse rejoice in Him? Would it be becoming for a heart that is married to Christ to be in any other condition than that of rejoicing in Him? I know you have many things in which you cannot rejoice. Well, let them go. But you can rejoice in Him—in His Person, in His work, in His offices, in His relationships, in His power, in His Glory, in His First Advent, in His Second Adventl Surely, these are not things that can be thought of without delightful emotion! It is most proper that we should be glad and rejoice in our Lord. There ought to be a reduplication of our joy—we should joy in Him and then rejoice in Him—we should "be glad and rejoice" in Him.
It is most proper that we should be glad in the Lord and what can be more proper than that we should remember Him? What a shame it is that we ever forget Him! His name should be so deeply engraved on our hearts that we cannot forget Him. Let us remember His love, for, surely if there is anything that we ought to remember, it is that undying love which is our choicest portion on earth and which will be the main constituent of our highest bliss in Heaven! Then, by the help of God's Spirit, let us make this resolve at this moment. Whatever we may do when we get out of this building, at any rate for the next half-hour let us resolve to stand to this double declaration, "We will rejoice, and we will remember."
Do you not think, also, that this resolution, if we carry it out, will be very helpful to ourselves? What a help it is to a Christian to be glad in the Lord! I know what it is to be depressed. I do not suppose there is any person in this place who knows what it is to be cast down so low as I sometimes am. Then I feel that there is no help for me and no hope of my living and working unless I can get out of that sad condition and get to be glad in the Lord. And I cry, "My Heart, my Heart, what are you doing? Why are you cast down, O my Soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance and my God." There is no way of getting right out of the Stygian bog of the Slough of Despond like rejoicing in the Lord! If you try to rejoice in yourself, you will have a poor reason for joy. But if you rejoice and are glad in the Lord, you have the real, abiding, unchanging source of joy, for he who rejoices in Christ rejoices in Him who is "the same yesterday, today and forever." And he may always rejoice in Him! Come, then, and for your own good hang up the sackbut and take down the psaltery—put away the ashes! What if men call this season, "Lent"? We will keep no Lent, tonight—this is our Eastertide! Our Lord has risen from the dead and He is among us, and we will rejoice in Him! Come, Beloved, surely it is time that we did, for a while, at least, forget our pain, griefs and all the worries of this weary world and, for one, I must, I will, be glad and rejoice in my Lord—and I hope many of you will join with me in the happy occupation which will be helpful to yourselves.
Certainly, it will also be for the good of others. I think that Believers do much harm if they allow their depressions of spirit to be too conspicuous. There is another meaning besides the first one to that text, "You, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face that you appear not unto men to fast." But if you can get right out of your sorrow and can actually rejoice in the Lord. And if you can so remember Him as to be glad and rejoice in Him, you will allure many to the fair ways of Christ which otherwise will be evilly spoken of if you go mourning all your days! Come, you weak ones, come and feast on bread that can make you strong! Come, you, whose eyes are red with weeping, take a handkerchief that shall dry your tears and make your eyes as bright as diamonds! Remember Christ and be glad and rejoice in Him! Angels around the Throne of God can have no higher joy than this! And they cannot enter so fully into it as you can, for He has not loved them as He has loved you!—
"Never did angels taste above, Redeeming Grace and dying love."
This, then, is what I earnestly commend to you, this double resolve, that we should all truly say to our Lord, "We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine." But, dear Friends, we cannot carry out the resolve without the help of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, let us breathe it unto the Lord in prayer and, as we tell Him what we mean to do, let us, each one, add, "Draw me, O Lord. Then I will run after You. Help me to come to You! Manifest Yourself to me and then I will be glad and rejoice in You."
II. Now I want to go a step further and say that I think the resolve of the text is A SUITABLE RESOLVE FOR THIS OCCASION—"We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine."
We are, most of us, coming to the Communion Table to eat of the bread and to drink of the cup in remembrance of our Master's dying love. Surely now is the hour, if ever in our lives, to be glad and rejoice in Him and to remember Him, for the object of this supper is to commemorate His dying love! It is idle and worse than idle, to come to Christ's Table if you do not remember Him—what good can it do you? The use that it is to the spectator is that you show Christ's death "till He comes." But if there is not in the spectator any thought of that death, of what use is the sight of the Table with its sacred vessels? And if you, yourself, do not think of Christ, of what use to you are the emblems of a forgotten or an unknown Lord? No, we are to commemorate His death—so let us, in our hearts, rejoice in Him and remember Him! Well did we sing just now—
"Jesus, when faith with fixed eyes,
Beholds Your wondrous Sacrifice,
Love rises to an ardent flame,
And we, all other hope disclaim!
Hence, O my Soul, a balsam flows
To heal your wounds, and cure your woes.
Immortal joys come streaming down,
Joys like His griefs, immense, unknown." Remember, next, that in coming to this Communion Table we also commemorate the results of Christ's death. One result of our Lord's death is that He gives food to His people. His broken body has become bread for our souls, yes, it is meat, indeed. His blood, which was shed for many for the remission of sins, has become drink, indeed. By His death, Christ has given us life and by the completion of His great redeeming work, and by His ever-living intercession, He has given us bread and wine by which that life may be sustained. He has finished it all and He has gone into Glory to secure the results of His finished work. Sitting around His Table, we are reminded of all this—the bread is ready, the cup is filled. We have nothing to do to prepare the feast. All we have to do, now, is to come and partake of it and feed to the fullest upon heavenly food. So, dear Friends, if we come to this Table in a right spirit, we must rejoice in our Lord and we must remember His love.
I think, also, that there is this further reason why we should rejoice in our Lord and remember His love, because at this Table the commemoration is made by our Lord to be a feast. They miss the meaning of the Lord's Supper who kneel around what they call an, "altar." The very point of the Supper is that it should be taken while sitting around a table. It is not meant to be an adoration—it is a communion! We come here that we may have fellowship with Him who sat at the table with His disciples and made them to be His companions at His last supper. Joy is becoming at a royal feast! What? Will you come to the King's Table with a sorrowful countenances? Will you come sadly to see what He has brought you? Now that He has prepared the bread and wine as a feast for your souls, will you come here hanging your heads like bulrushes? No, but let this be your resolution, "We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine."
Do kings make feasts? Do they lift high the flowing bowl? Are there shouts of joy and exultation at their banquets and shall it be that this world's poor vine, whose juice is often to men like the wine of Gomorrah, shall bring even the semblance of joy superior to ours when we drink of the wine that comes from the Vine of God and the clusters that Christ has trod in the winepress? No! Higher, far, is your joy than ever came to them that have made merry at earthly feasts!
More delightful, more intense, more real, more true be your hallowed ecstasies than anything that wine or wealth can ever bring! "We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine." O God, help us to carry out this resolution! It seems to me to be specially right, proper and fit, when we come to this high festival of the Church of God, that we should rejoice in the Lord and remember His love!
Let us also recollect that when we come to the Table of our Lord, we commemorate a very happy union. Our text speaks in the plural—"We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine." I do not know how you feel, Brothers and Sisters, but I should not like to go to Heaven alone. If nobody else will go on pilgrimage, Christian must set out by himself and march along towards the Celestial City until he finds a suitable fellow-pilgrim. But I like best to go with Christiana, Mercy and the children—and as the company together. Though I should enjoy fellowship with my Lord if I were His only loved one, yet it greatly increases my joy as I look at the faces of many of you whom I have known a score of years and with whom I have lived in such happy union year after year! Many of you who were once "in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity," have been plucked, like brands out of the burning, through the preaching of the Gospel in this pulpit—and it seems such a happy thing for us to be communing together around the Table of our Lord.
Some of you, my dear venerable Brothers and Sisters, will soon be Home—come, we will be glad and rejoice in our Lord, will we not? Before you go away from us, join us in another holy song! Give us another of your patient, quiet, happy, restful looks! One dear Sister went Home this morning, at twelve o'clock, while we were worshipping here. I am sure that her spirit is now rejoicing before the Throne of God and some of you will be going soon—but until you go, we will rejoice and be glad together, will we not? We will still take the cup of blessing at the Lord's Table, whatever our infirmities and sorrows may be. And we will remember Him until we drink the new wine in our Father's Kingdom above! And you men and women in the very midst of the battle of life, with all your trials and struggles, we will stand shoulder to shoulder, will we not? We are one in Christ and there is between us a bond of union that never can be snapped! It binds us for time and for eternity. We came to this Communion Table to eat and to drink, not each one for himself, only, but each one in fellowship with all the rest—and this ought to make us glad. If I am not glad about myself, I will be glad to think that you are glad! If I have a heavy burden to carry, I will be glad that you have not. And if you have a burden and I have not, try to be glad that I have not one, or, if you have one, and I have another, let us rejoice that we both have the same God to help us to carry them and let us believe that as our days, so shall our strength be!
What a joy it adds to this festival when we see the young folk coming among us, the sons and daughters of God's people being brought into the Church! Do you not notice how dear Mr. William Olney, whenever he prays for a blessing upon our ministry, always breaks out into thanksgiving to God that all his family have been brought to Christ? There are many others of us who can praise the Lord for the same favor and it is a great joy to us! Yes, Lord, we will remember Your love—husband and wife, sons and daughters, and some of us can say grandchildren, too—we will all come clustering around Your Table and, together, we will remember Your sweet love to our fathers, to ourselves and to our children! We cannot help remembering it and rejoicing and being glad in it.
I must give you just one more thought upon this point. It does not become us to gather at this Communion Table with a heavy heart when we remember that it is not only a commemoration, but an anticipation. We are to do this "till He comes." Did I not try, this morning, [Sermon No. 1894, Volume 32—"The Two Appearings and the Discipline of Grace" to sound the trumpet of His coming? It would not have startled me if He had come while we were assembled and I was speaking of "the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ." Nor should it startle any of you, if, in the dead of this very night, while you are in your beds, you should hear the cry, "Behold, the Bridegroom comes!" for He may come at any moment and He will come, "in such an hour as you think not." Let us leap up at the remembrance of this gladsome hope!
We are coming to the Table, keeping up the memorial of our Lord's first appearing in the fond hope and sure belief of that second appearing when the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Therefore, let us keep the feast with high hope. With joyous notes, sound aloud the silver trumpet of the great jubilee and, as you come to the Table, let your hearts be glad in the Lord, whose love you especially remember at this hallowed festival!
III. I will close in a very few minutes, but I must dwell for a brief space upon what I meant to make my third point concerning this double resolve—LET US CARRY IT OUT. That ought always to be the practical conclusion to every sermon—let us carry it out! We have said to our Lord in the language of the text, "We will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine." Very well, now let us carry out this resolve.
"We will remember Your love." Dear Savior, what we have to remember is Your love—Your love in old eternity, before the earth was, Your prescient love, which—
"Saw us ruined in the Fall, Yet loved us notwithstanding all." We remember the love of Your espousals when You did espouse Your people unto Yourself and did resolve that, whatever might be the lot of Your elect, You would share it with them. The Lord Jesus made up His mind that He would be one with His Church—for this purpose He left His Father that He might be one with His bride. I shall get into great deeps if I go much further in speaking about Christ's love.
"We will remember Your love"—that love which, having once begun, has never wavered, never diminished, never stopped—
"Love, so vast that nothing can bound! Love, too deep for thought to sound! Love, which made the Lord of All Drink the wormwood and the gall! Love, which led Him to the Cross, Bearing there unuttered loss! Love, which brought Him to the gloom Of the cold and darksome tomb! Love, which will not let Him rest Till His chosen all are blest! Till they all for whom He died Live rejoicing by His side!"
We remember the love which Jesus bore in His heart right up into Glory at the right hand of the Father—that love which is still as great as when He hung on Calvary to redeem us unto Himself. The wonderful part of all this to me is that it should be the love of such an One as Christ is. That ever so Divine a Person should set His love on us is very wonderful. I can understand my mother's love. I can understand my child's love. I can understand my wife's love, but I cannot understand Christ's love. Oh, Brothers and Sisters, we are nothings, we are nobodies! Yet this glorious Everybody, this All in All, did actually set His love upon us! Suppose that all the holy angels had loved us and that all God's redeemed had loved us? All put together, it would be only so many grains of dust that would not turn the scale! But Christ's love is a mountain, no, more than all the mountains in the universe! I know of nothing to be compared with it.
That is the first way in which we are to carry out this double resolve—we are to remember and to rejoice in Christ's love.
Next, let each one of us say to Christ, "I will remember Your love to me." Brothers and Sisters, I can believe in Christ's loving you, but there are times when it seems a great mystery that He should ever have loved me. I can truly say that, often, I have felt that if I might sit at the feet of the poorest, meanest, least of God's servants and serve them, I would count it a Heaven to do it if I did but feel sure of Christ's love to my own soul. I see so many beauties in my Brothers and my Sisters that I can admire the Grace of God in them, but, often, I see and feel so many imperfections in myself that I can only wonder that Christ should ever have loved me. I suppose that each of you feels the same. I am sure that you do if you are in a right state of heart, for, truth to tell, there is no beauty in any of us that He should desire us—and there is no excellence in any of us that could have made it worth His while to die for us. "God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" "When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly"—and died for us as ungodly. Come, then, will you not be glad and rejoice that Christ should ever have loved you? Will you not be glad and rejoice, and yet wonder all the while, that it should ever have been possible for Him to draw you "with cords of a man, with bands of love," and bring you into living, loving, everlasting union with Himself?
Still, even that is not all! The text does not merely speak about Christ's love, and Christ's love to me, but it talks about Christ Himself. "We will be glad and rejoice in You"—not only in His love, but in Himself! Do try, dear Friends,
to let your thoughts dwell upon Christ, His complex Person, God and Man, and all the wonders which lie wrapped up in Emmanuel, God With Us! Your work, Lord, is fair, but the hand that worked the work is still fairer. All Your designs of love are full of splendor, but what shall we say of the mind that first gave creation to those designs? The glance, the look of love which You have given me is blessed, but oh, those eyes of Yours, those eyes which are brighter than the stars of the morning! The Lord Jesus is better than everything that comes from Him! His gifts are infinitely precious—then what must He, Himself, be? Come, then, Beloved, and let us be glad and rejoice in Him, and let us remember His love more than wine!
The text says, "we will remember," but some of you cannot remember because you do not know. A man cannot remember what he has never heard of, or seen, or known. But, Brothers and Sisters, let us remember what we do know of Christ's love. I remember the first day I ever tasted of His love consciously to myself. Ah, but I look back and think of the rivers of love that came steaming down to me when I did not even know that I was receiving them! And I remember that many days have passed since first I could give back the glance of love in return for His love to me. But oh, what His love to me since then has been! His love in sickness, in sorrow, in labor, in backsliding, in prayer, in tears, in unbelief, in faith, in varying and changing as many as the changes of the moon! Yet, His love has always been the same. What a book some of you could write concerning Christ's love to you if you had but a nimble pen! What a story some of you could tell of Christ's love if some guest could be detained while you told the wondrous story!
I sometimes think within myself that if all the interesting things that are written in all the works of fiction could be put together, I could surpass them all in the literal simple facts of a common life like mine—and I believe that many of God's people here could say the same! A Christian's life is full of interest. Last Thursday night I called the life of a Christian a cluster of Kohinoors threaded on a string of Divine faithfulness and I am sure that it is so!—
"Wonders of Grace to God belong, Repeat His mercies in your song." Repeat His mercies as you remember them and be glad and rejoice in Him even more than in the mercies that come from
In conclusion, I would say that I think the people of God, in gathering to the Communion Table, should try to be glad and rejoice in their Lord, and in nobody else—and to remember Him—and nothing else. Let all be a blank except what Christ has written on your memory! Let all be a blank except where that dear face appears—
"The head that once was crowned with thorns,"
"Is crowned with Glory now."
Think only of Him! Put the glass to your eye and shut out all the rest of the landscape—let that glass take nothing within its circle but just the face of the Well-Beloved which we soon hope to see without a cloud between!
God bless you, dear Friends! I wish that all of you understood this Truth of God of which I have been speaking. Some of you do not—may the Lord lead you to do so, for there is no life like that which is spent at Jesus' feet, and no joy like that which comes from our dear Lord! I wish you knew it. Believe on Him and you shall know it, and shall know it at once. Amen.
This Psalm is a sort of window through which we can look into the heart of our crucified Savior. We see all the external part of the Crucifixion through the four windows of the Gospels, but this 22nd Psalm brings us into the King's innermost chamber and here we perceive the secret sufferings of His soul. You can very well conceive of the Lord Jesus Christ, when He was on the Cross, beginning to speak in the language of the first verse of this Psalm and closing with the last words of the Psalm—"He has done this," which might properly be interpreted, "It is finished." I have often read this Psalm with you, especially on the evenings of our great Communion services. If we are spared, we will read it together many more times. It is a very wonderful Psalm—the Lord give us to understand it as we read it!!
Verse 1. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, and from the words of My roaring? That was the very climax of our Lord's grief upon the Cross, that it was necessary that the Father, Himself, should forsake Him. The penalty of sin is that God must leave the man who has sin upon him even by imputation—and God left this wondrous Man, this perfect Man, in whom was no sin, but upon whom the sin of His people had been laid. He, "His own Self, bore our sins in His own body on the tree" and, therefore, the Father must forsake Him. But it was a bitter experience for our Savior that even His prayers should not be heard when they had become so hoarse as to resemble, rather, the roaring of a wounded beast than the articulate utterance of a man—"Why are You so far from helping Me, and from the words of My roaring?"
2, 3. O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But You are holy, O You that inhabit the praises of Israel. Notice that the Lord Jesus, in His greatest agony, does not impugn the justice of His Father's treatment. In His bitterest sufferings He still adores the holiness of God—"You are holy." It was because God was holy that His Son must suffer so—in order to save the unholy.
4-6. Our fathers trusted in You: they trusted, and You did deliver them. They cried unto You, and were delivered: they trusted in You, and were not confounded. But I am a worm, and no man—There is a little red worm which seems to be nothing but a mass of blood—and the Savior compares Himself in His agony to that tiny creature—"I am a worm, and no man"—
6-8. A reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see Me, laugh Me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the lord that He would deliver Him: let Him deliver Him, seeing He delighted in Him. What vinegar and gall that mockery poured into the Savior's wounded heart! How these cruel words must have stung His sensitive spirit! It was necessary that God should leave Him while He was bearing His people's sin, but how shameful it was that evil men should turn that stern necessity into a ground of accusation against Him! Yet they did—they taunted Him with it—"He trusted on the Lord that He would deliver Him: let Him deliver Him, seeing He delighted in Him."
9,10. But You are He that took Me out of the womb: You did make Me hope when I was upon My mother's breast. I was cast upon You from the womb: You are My God from My mother's belly. Our Savior remembers His own marvelous birth which differed from ours in some respects—and He thinks of how the Father took care of Him, then. Did He not preserve Him when Joseph and Mary fled into Egypt from the wrath of Herod? Was there not a singular power that controlled the movements of the Wise Men and warned them to return to their own country another way, so that the Infant Christ should not be discovered and destroyed? Jesus on the Cross remembers that remarkable preservation! And I suggest to you who are getting old that you may draw comfort from the fact that when you were infants and could not help yourselves, the Lord took care of you. And if you come to a second childhood—if you should live to be as helpless as when you were infants—the God who watched over you in the beginning will watch over you to the end! Remember how He has said, "Even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
11. Be not far from Me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. Peter, James, John and all the disciples had fled. "There is none to help." The women could weep with pitying eyes and sympathetic hearts, but they could not help. "There is none to help."
12. Many bulls have compassed Me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset Me round. There stood the chief priests and the rulers, and the Roman soldiers with their massive bulk and brute strength.
13. They gaped upon Me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. There was nothing but cruelty and spite and fury all round the tender heart of that lonely Sufferer. Ah, me, was there ever sorrow like unto His sorrow?
14. I am poured out like water, and all My bones are out of joint. This was caused by the rough dashing of the Cross into the ground when they lifted it up and plunged it into its place.
14. My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels. It was a living death, a deadly life. Christ's very heart, which is the center of life, had become dissolved by pain and weakness and sorrow.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd and My tongue cleaves to My jaws; and You have brought Me into the dust of death. The terrible death-thirst was upon Him through the fever generated by His wounds.
16. For dogs have compassed Me: this assembly of the wicked have enclosed Me: they pierced My hands and My feet. The common multitude, with ribald jest and hateful mockery, stood there taunting Him. He was encircled by them—like a poor hunted stag surrounded by the hounds.
17. I may count all My bones: they look and stare upon Me. They stood mocking at His nakedness, jesting at His emaciated form.
18- 19. They part My garments among them, and cast lots upon My vesture. But be You not far from Me, O LORD. That is still the very center of our Savior's suffering, so He turns His pleading in that direction. He does not ask that the dogs may be called off, nor that the bulls may be driven away—His cry is, "Be not You far from Me, O Lord."
19- 21. O My Strength, hasten You to help Me. Deliver My soul from the sword; My darling from the power of the dog. Save Me from the lion's mouth: for You have heard Me from the horns of the unicorns. He remembers former days wherein God had helped Him, and He prays that the Lord will help Him still, and bring Him safely through this terrible trial, as, indeed, He did! Now the tone of the Psalm changes. A gleam of sunlight plays across the scene. The agony is over, the life is poured out, and now the Savior begins to contemplate the result of His suffering. Think, dear Brothers and Sisters, how the Lord thought of You! He says—
22. I will declare Your name unto My brethren. In the midst of the congregation will I praise You. The risen Christ is in the midst of us! He has come here to tell us of His Father's love. He has told it to us by His death and now He bids us praise the Lord and He, Himself, leads our song! This is the reward of His passion, that He and His brethren should bless and praise the Lord forever and ever!
23, 24. He that fears the LORD, praise Him; all You, the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him, all You the seed of Israel. For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the Afflicted, neither has He hid His face from Him; but when He cried unto Him, He heard. Is not this delightful? Your Lord has gone through the black darkness and has come out into the Light of God—and when your turn comes to go through the darkness, you, too, shall come out into the Light even as He did! Therefore, rejoice in His name! If the Head has conquered, the members shall conquer, too. You shall all share in your Savior's joy as you are partakers of His sufferings.
25, 26. My praise shall be of You in the great congregation: I will pay My vows before them that fear Him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied. He thought of you, poor, timid, trembling ones! You who are humbled before God under a sense of your sin. Because He died, because He accomplished your redemption, you "shall eat and be satisfied."
26, 27. They shall praise the LORD that seek Him: Your heart shall live forever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before You. See what solace Christ derives from the spread of the faith, the conquest of the world by His death!
28-30. For the Kingdom is the LORD'S: and He is the governor among the nations. All they that are fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before Him: and none can keep alive his own soul. A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. This is in accordance with Isaiah's prophecy—"When You shall make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed."
31. They shall come—The passion of Christ shall work for a certain deliverance for His people. What He has purchased, He shall surely have—"They shall come"—
31. And shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He has done this. Or, "it is finished." When our Lord had uttered these words, "He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost."

Fisher Island hotels
Fisher Island
Even though Fisher Island is just a short, three-mile ferry ride from Miami, it feels like another world. Here visitors will enjoy breathtaking scenery within one of the most affluent areas in the entire United States. Named after real estate developer Carl G. Fisher, who once owned the entire island, Fisher Island is man-made, created in 1905 by a dredging and land reclamation project that started around Miami Beach. Since then, Fisher Island has become home to several luxury resorts and chic restaurants that cater to the world's elite.
- Take a hike around the island's perimeter and watch the sun in full-spectrum colour as it sets on the skyline of Miami.
- Whilst on Fisher Island visitors will enjoy taking a tour of the historic Vanderbilt Mansion, enjoying a journey through the mansion's age-old halls that culminates in a stroll through its formal dining room, replete with many sparkling chandeliers.
- Play a round of golf with the turquoise ocean as your backdrop at the Fisher Island Club golf course. Tee-off among its immaculate fairways, which boast amazing views of Miami.
There are no roads that lead to Fisher Island, as the only way to get there from Miami is by boat. Speedboats can get you to the island quickly, whilst the slower ferries can accommodate both you and your car. Usually only residents bring their cars onto Fisher Island; however, once you arrive, you'll find a number of establishments that rent motorbikes and scooters. Putting around the island on a motorbike or scooter is probably the most enjoyable way to explore the island, as you can enjoy the fresh air and spectacular scenery at your own pace.

Thank you very much for reminding me of that. I actually had read it before and was thinking about it recently but I didn't have a firm recollection of the details. Do you cook it as he describes in the slow cooking section? 200F for 3hrs?

President Obama Welcomes 20 Service Members Who Became American Citizens
Editor's note: This blog was originially posted to The White House Blog by Katherine Vargas on April 25, 2014.
President Barack Obama participates in a naturalization ceremony at the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul, Republic of Korea, April 25, 2014. Walter Haith, Field Office Director, U.S. Embassy calls the name of each candidate, and Robert Daum, Deputy District Director, USCIS Asia-Pacific Region, administers the oath of allegiance. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)
This morning, President Obama welcomed 20 new American citizens at a special naturalization ceremony held at the War Memorial in Seoul, South Korea. President Obama celebrated the new citizenship of 13 services members and 7 military spouses at today's ceremony. The President paid tribute to all those who served and fought for the United States in the Armed Forces, including generations of immigrants. The President also had the opportunity to highlight the important role of military spouses, 7 of whom were granted citizenship, for their commitment and service to the United States.
Those honored came from 14 different countries, each with a unique and poignant personal story but all shared a common love of our country. We celebrate the true meaning of patriotism -- the love of a country that's so strong that these men and women were willing to risk their lives to defend our country even before they could call it their own. It is through the remarkable sacrifices of these 20 individuals that the power of immigrants in the United States is illustrated. These men and women defend our nation's freedom day after day or support their spouses who do so.
America is stronger because of its history as a nation of immigrants, coming from all parts of the world. There is more to citizenship than just circumstances of birth, but rather a joyful spirit of citizenship, one that demands participation, responsibility, and service to our country and to one another.
If our nation wants to continue to attract the best and the brightest, the smartest and most selfless, like our men and women in uniform who became American citizens today, then we owe it to our citizens to fix our broken immigration system and pass commonsense immigration reform.
The President will continue to fight tirelessly to urge Congress to act this year on reform that will modernize the legal immigration system, continue to strengthen our border security, hold employers accountable and provide a pathway to earned citizenship for those undocumented immigrants living in the shadows. Commonsense immigration reform also means that our country can live up to our most closely held values by providing the opportunity for others to join our American family.
Katherine Vargas is the Director of Hispanic Media.

Each year a whopping 40 percent of all the food in the US is wasted, according to a recent article in the Washington Post. That's an estimated waste of $165 billion worth of food annually. Farms, grocery stores and especially households are responsible for a huge portion of the waste. American families toss out between 14 and 25 percent of the food and beverages they buy. Make a commitment to transform your Thanksgiving leftovers for less food waste this year.
Black Friday Pie
Since you're spending the day scoring deals you may as well save money on food too. Put those leftovers to good use by whipping up some Black Friday Pie. Leftover mashed potatoes serves as the "crust" topped with turkey, green beans and gravy. Cover it with stuffing, bake and you have another tasty meal.
Turkey and Stuffing Soup
Instead of tossing leftovers in the can, put them in a pot. Celebrity chef Rachael Ray suggests creating soup from your leftovers. By combining stuffing, turkey and vegetables like celery, onion and carrots with chicken stock you can quickly prepare a warm batch of soup.
Turkey Pot Pie
Here's another hearty dish to help you use up that leftover bird: Turkey Pot Pie. Make your own pie crust or use pre-made for an even faster meal. Combine three cups of cooked turkey with vegetables, a can of cream of potato soup and a can of cream of chicken soup for some post-Thanksgiving comfort food.
Bird to the Last Drop
If you really want to use everything-- including the turkey carcass-- then check out this recipe from Alton Brown. It's a hearty stew that uses the turkey carcass to add flavor to vegetable stock. Mix in some rice, frozen veggies and leftover turkey for a flavorful meal.
Turkey Reuben
Martha Stewart suggests revamping your turkey dinner into a modified classic: the Reuben sandwich. By placing your leftover turkey in between rye bread and thinly sliced Swiss you're creating a lovely lunch without much work.
