Be an Amazing Catechist
Preparing for Miracles: Lessons that Open Hearts to Grace
So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? ~ Galatians 3:5
"The consolation was for us, not just for the children," says Corinne Addiss, a remarkable catechist from New York, recalling a day last summer when she and her Vacation Bible School team received a beautiful sign of God's presence working powerfully through the children.
"We were in the second day of our program. Almost a hundred children nursery school age through sixth grade children enrolled, with another thirty-something junior counselors, grades seven and above. My energy was uncharacteristically low. I wanted to just get through the week. This day's focus was the Eucharist, and one of our 'stations' was Adoration.
"As a teacher was finishing up with a group of about twenty little ones, they all came out of the pews and she showed them how to genuflect properly in front of the Blessed Sacrament, on both knees. As she watched, one child suddenly went down on her belly, prostrated in adoration before the monstrance. And then, one after another, the children followed until all of the children were lying with their hands extended in front of them, adoring Jesus—in a position no one in the program had taught them."
The teacher, Corinne remembers, knelt in silence, tears streaming down her face as she gazed in awe at the sight. "There was no 'earthly' explanation; it was something within the children. It was their faith in God."
It would seem the program received special graces that day. She says, "There are always graces. But that day, there were graces being accepted."
Corinne has created many programs in her diocese over the years and has a reputation for doing creative, effective work.
"We are in competition with the world which attracts minds and souls through the senses," she explains. "We try to appeal to the senses of sight and sound as well. Jesus used visuals—coins, mustard seeds, mountains, boats, etc. We decorate everything in an imaginative and cost-effective way using rolls of plastic table covering, brown paper bags, things from home, paint, and lots of creativity! A visual teacher can produce great fruits by helping children 'see' and learn the truths of faith. It's about busting the myth that faith is no fun. When great stuff is taught in fun, interesting ways, it bears fruit."
"Most often I am flooded with ideas when I'm sitting in church in front of the Blessed Sacrament," she says definitively. "If I try to force them, it's useless. I'll go to Adoration and sit with my list of projects and say, 'Okay, God, I need your help,' and I just start jotting down ideas. Once I've got an outline for the VBS, I talk it out with others and together we finalize the plan."
Here are some of the activities that prepared the children to appreciate the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist:
Saint Anthony and the Donkey. "A month before the VBS program, I visited all the religious-ed classes. I told the children the story of Saint Anthony and the Donkey (the story of a miracle that affirms the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist) but I didn't finish it. The kids were howling in protest, begging to know how it turns out. I ended with 'Come to VBS next month to hear how the story ends!' and they did! On the day we taught the Holy Eucharist we began with a re-enactment of the story. We had a barn, town square, cobble stone road, haystacks and all. Junior counselors dressed as St. Anthony and his donkey."

So last week DH went to McDonalds for sausage egg mcmuffin. He got home and it was freaking ham. Ham! I was so upset, I don't even like there ham so I ate DH breakfast burrito.
Well today, DH went to Dunkin donuts for pumpkin spice coffee and my sandwich. I was so excited!! Well, he got home, and there is no freaking sausage! Just egg and cheese. I lost it.
I cried hysterically for about twenty minutes. I couldn't stop myself. I felt ridiculous lol. DH was just kind of standing there staring at me, and then started laughing. Which made me feel even worse. I have never felt so embarrassed.
He is on his way to get the right sandwich, and I hope its right. I don't know what the heck I will do if there is no damn sausage! Sorry, just had to get that out.
I hope I am not the only one crying over food..

Vinnie Moore (April 14, 1964, New Castle, Delaware) is a guitarist and a
member of the English hard rock band UFO. Along with Yngwie Malmsteen,
Tony MacAlpine, and others, Moore is known as one of the most influential
guitarists to emerge out of the shredder boom in the mid 1980s.
Moore began his professional career at age of 12 and played clubs and bars
until Shrapnel executive Mike Varney discovered him through a magazine
article. His connection to Varney led to an opportunity to appear in a Pepsi
commercial in 1985, (only Vinnie's hands appeared in the commercial as his
guitar playing is heard.) Following this Moore recorded his first solo album,
Mind's Eye, released on Shrapnel Records and featured Tony MacAlpine on
keyboards. The album received several awards from guitar magazines and
sold over 100,000 copies.
Vinnie Moore played lead guitar with the heavy metal band Vicious Rumors on
their debut album, Soldiers of the Night. The album features Moore's
solo-song, "Invader", which was in the style of Van Halen's "Eruption". The
shred guitar craze of the late eighties led to more releases for Shrapnel.
Moore also began performing with other hard rock bands. He joined Alice
Cooper's band for a tour and then appeared in Hey Stoopid album. Following
this Moore released two instructional videos on guitar playing

Booking space
5th annual library report shows increased use, need for larger building
Rebecca McKinsey
Due to limited space in the children's section of the Carroll Public Library, programs are held in the main area of the facility. A new report indicates that activities can be disruptive to other users of the library and that additional space is needed.
LIBRARY VISITORS IN FY 2012 and 2013
1,297: FY2013 visitors during one April week
1,277: FY2013 visitors during one April week
2,434: FY2013 visitors during one July week
2,356: FY2012 visitors during one July week
August 29, 2013
At the Carroll Public Library, children's books line shelves that are higher than small hands can reach. They surround a table with four miniature chairs - red, blue, green and purple.
Kelly Fischbach, the library's director, wants to offer more - but she doesn't have room.
"If you're a fourth-grader, you have to crawl on a stool (to reach the top shelves)," she said. "If you're 4 years old, your chances of seeing the new books on top are basically nil."
Fischbach recently released the library's fifth-annual report for fiscal year 2013. It details an increase in visits to the library and items checked out, despite a 2½-week period during which the library was closed while new carpet was installed.
The report also emphasizes the need for a larger space. Right now, programming at the library, whether children's story time or Crafty Library Ladies, takes place in the library's main open areas, among individual visitors who want to browse through books or quietly study.
"We ask elected officials to decide what direction the Carroll Public Library is going," the report states. "Whether we look to progressive communities who have invested in citizens of every age and socioeconomic background in developing a library for the future, or we choose to remain a book warehouse in our current building, the Trustees and Director need help in charting the future."
Visitors to the library, along with the numbers of items they check out, have steadily increased for years, Fischbach said.
During fiscal year 2013, 1,297 people visited the library during one week in April, and 2,434 people visited during a week in July. The year before, the count was 1,277 visitors for the week in April, and 2,356 for the week in July.
"It isn't a huge (increase), but you're always excited when it keeps steadily going up," Fischbach said, adding that the change between 2013 and 2002, when the library began tallying visitors, is much more drastic. "People who haven't been using the library for a long time don't understand how it has evolved."
Between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013, patrons checked out 123,820 items, up from 116,369 items checked out the previous year, a 6 percent increase.
During the past fiscal year, visitors to the library checked out more children's material, magazines, young adult and adult books, although they checked out fewer books on tape, DVDs, and CDs compared to the previous year.
The report adds that the lower DVD-checkout numbers could reflect a change in May 2012 that allowed patrons to check out DVDs for five days instead of three.
Fiscal year 2013 was a good year for library grants, according to the report. The library received about $10,000 for a children's computer, online learning programs, children's books, summer reading program materials and programming.
Programming, both for children and adults, is a large draw for the library, Carroll Mayor Adam Schweers said.
"(The library is) doing a great job of bringing programs to town people normally haven't seen, and I think the general public is really appreciating that," he said.
Fischbach said she hopes the library will soon offer programs that will teach people how to use newer technology, such as iPads, and allow adults who have been in the same career for several decades and are interested in a change to discuss their options.
As those programs and others are implemented, the need for more space will be even more apparent, Schweers said.
"We're really focused on the fact that oftentimes, when the library offers programs, it takes up a portion of the library, and patrons aren't able to privately work with tutoring," he said. "More programs will mean more inconvenience to general citizens; we recognize the need for that space, as a way to enhance trying to provide learning."
The next step is proposing a space-needs assessment to Schweers and City Council, said Tom Louis, president of the library's Board of Trustees. An assessment, which an independent firm would conduct and which might be paid for by the Library Foundation, would determine if more space at the library is needed and if it makes more sense to expand the current location or start over at a new spot.
This discussion has been going on for years, Louis said, but he hopes it will turn into action soon.
"I think Kelly and her staff are doing a great job with the facilities they have," he said, "but I think they could do much better with better facilities."
In addition to providing spots dedicated to programming, additional space would benefit people hoping to study individually or tutor others, as well as those who want a space to sit and work on a laptop, Fischbach said. Right now, the library has only one small private study room.
"I think we can be more of a community gathering place for people who don't even realize they need a library," she said. "Once we have that space, people will wonder how they ever did without it."

How many of those were for programs that could easily be held somewhere else? The library needs to sort their stats.

Here we go again.

SAN ANTONIO — A weird week of setbacks and "not quites" has Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony looking at each day, wondering if it's the one when he actually will play again.
Sunday was not that day. But according to coach George Karl, today may be.
"I think he'll try to play against Sacramento," Karl said. "(Not playing against the Spurs), it was maybe the pace of the game, and it's going to be another 36 hours (of rest)."
Anthony has missed four consecutive games and may not be out of the woods yet. His biggest setback of the week occurred during the team's flight from Houston to Oklahoma City, when his ankle became more swollen.
Although Anthony was fine after the flight from Oklahoma City to San Antonio, Karl was asked if he was concerned about another setback on the flight back to Denver.
"I think different guys have different reactions to altitude," Karl said. "There's no question, the flight from Houston to Oklahoma City, there was a setback there. His ankle was sore and got more swollen after that flight."
Proper playing time.
Holding down guard Chauncey Billups' minutes was a hot topic during the preseason, but Karl said it's not something he's thinking about for now.
"I think I observe that a little more after the all-star break," Karl said. "I think I have a number of minutes over the year that I like to keep certain guys at, or under.
"And I don't really take a pulse on it until March 1, the last 30 games where you make sure you keep him under a certain number."
Billups has played 1,286 minutes this season, an average of 32.9 per game. His career average is 32.1 minutes.
"I feel fine," Billups said.

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
The perfect match - paint mixing
Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

There are 186 condo units in the Kapalua Golf Villas. My unit is one of five with this configuration: It is a two bedroom unit on the street level which means you don't have to go up or down stairs to get to it. All the rooms are on a single floor. The angle of the building is situated so that even when there are strong winds, you can sit on the lanai, enjoy the great view and not worry about your bowl of potato chips blowing away. With the shades up, windows and doors open, no one can look into the unit. It is very private.
- 1,694 square feet
- Single level unit, easily accessible
- Wireless Internet
- Very private, very quiet
- Newly remodeled - Brand new kitchen, carpeting and furniture in 2012 - Kapalua Resort Gold standard amenities
- Two entrances for additional privacy (if desired)
- Beautiful sunsets from the oversized lanai
- Free shuttle service within Kapalua resort
- Walking distance to everything
--- Plantation and Bay golf courses
--- Beaches
--- Four private pools
--- Mountain trails
--- Running/walking trails
--- Restaurants
--- Tennis courts
--- Spas and health clubs
Time moves slower in Maui than on the mainland. The pace of your daily lives may not provide enough moments of peace but in the Kapalua Golf Villas you will be sure to find time to sit down and watch the sun set on the horizon.
This two bed/two bath condominium provides accommodations for a perfect Maui vacation. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the lanai or take a short walk to the white sandy beaches. Ideally located in the heart of the Kapalua resort - just minutes from world class dining, golfing, snorkeling and shopping. Included in the unit are all the comforts: newly remodeled full kitchen, personal laundry machines and fresh towels/linens. Rent this unit if you are looking for the perfect family vacation or a simple romantic getaway.
This is my Maui vacation home. It's yours to enjoy when my family is not there. The serene peace of Maui and Kapalua is what has been keeping me coming back for the past 30 years. If you take a vacation here, I think you will agree that this is paradise.
Mahalo Nui Loa
(Thank you very much)

My family first visited Maui in 1976 and we have been coming continuously since the eighties. We are familiar with all the activities on the islands and if you desire, I would be glad to point you to many of the 'local' places to eat, to shop, or to sightsee.
Maui, particularly the Kapalua area, is simply the best place in the United States to have a second home. It is a clean, friendly place to relax and unwind. And the fact that the weather is a constant 75-80 degrees with gentle trade winds does not go unnoticed.
All of the activities and restaurants are within walking distance of the condo and if you don't feel like walking, there is a free shuttle that will take you anywhere within the resort.
If you are a golfer, I can book tee times for you on the best courses on the island. The unit is on the Bay Course and a free shuttle ride from the Plantation Course, a must play course if you are on Maui.
The unit has total privacy. Although in the Golf Villas, it is located high above the Bay Course, so there is no noise from mowers or other course maintenance vehicles. It is also far away from any road noises.
The unit is situated such that people staying in other units cannot look into the unit insuring great privacy. This cannot be said of most of the other units.
What an amazing place Hawaii is. Everything was absolutely perfect. The Plantation course is the best i've ever played and the most fun. Your villa was everything we wanted and more. We did not make it to the King K course. We played the Bay course instead since it was so much closer. We also really enjoyed the Sea House restaurant and Merrimans.
Our trip to Maui was incredible in and of itself, but was more enhanced by our stay at Kapalua. The condo we rented was very well furnished, it felt as if we were in a model home. The bedrooms were very spacious and soooo comfortable, all the amenities you would want for a luxury stay. The view from the balcony was beautiful and serene. Kapalua is situated in a beautiful bay so we were able to view whales right from our balcony, the sunsets were spectacular. With a short walk or drive, you can reach several first class dining and a gorgeous picture postcard beach. My husband and I were extremely pleased with our stay and would definitely come back to Kapalua and especially to this particular condo.
Our stay at the condo was an amazing getaway. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and quality of appointments. Fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer was an added convenience. Sunset views from the Lanai were spectacular. There were many excellent restaurants within walking distance. Wish we didn't have to leave and looking forward to staying again in the future!
I stayed in this unit for two weeks in June and walked away very satisfied and impressed. After a four hour plane delay in Los Angeles, my family and I weren't able to arrive on the island until 2AM. Needless to say, I was concerned about gaining entrance to the unit and finding it in good condition. Despite being tired and cranky from travel, I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the unit. The Villa is equipped with a digital keypad door so no key-pickup or check-in was required. I simply entered the code that was communicated to me before I left my house and was able to easily gain access to the villa.
Once inside, I was also equally impressed with the interior of the unit. Pristine is the best word that I can use to describe it. We walked in to find freshly made beds, loads of clean towels and Aveda soaps for our use. We were even provided beach towels to use. The kitchen was fully stocked with plates, knifes, pots, pans, and small appliances - everything that we needed to feel at home. After a quick trip to Safeway in the morning we were stocked up for the rest of our trip.
Our 2AM arrival time meant that the night sky was pitch black. This led to a very pleasant morning surprise as the villa overlooks the oceanfront. After making some coffee, we found the nice patio furniture and were able to enjoy the views of the ocean. This view got even better at dusk as we were able to enjoy the sunset every single night. The pictures just can't describe how beautiful a Maui sunset can be.
While on island there was never a shortage of things to do. Two things that my family and I enjoy are the beach and the golf course. I'd highly recommend Kapalua Beach and the Plantation Golf course. Both of which were a short walk and a quick shuttle away, respectively.
Overall, I cannot say enough great things about my stay and this unit. It was clear that the unit was upgraded as all the appliances and fixtures were top notch. I'm definitely looking forward to staying here again in the future and highly recommend it for anyone looking to visit Maui!

WASHINGTON -- The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell last week to the lowest level in nearly a month, a hopeful sign for the labor market.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits decreased 42,000 to a seasonally adjusted 338,000, the Labor Department said Thursday.
While recent data on claims have been clouded by seasonal volatility around the winter holiday period, Thursday's report showed claims in a range that supports expectations for faster economic growth next year.
"With labor markets on the mend and consumer confidence on the rise, we look for broader economic improvement to continue pushing claims [lower]," said Gennadiy Goldberg, an analyst at TD Securities (TD) in New York.
New jobless claims have trended higher since September and are now roughly where they were during the early days of the 2007-09 recession.
Search Jobs
The four-week moving average for new claims, which irons out week-to-week volatility, increased 4,250 to 348,000.
"The underlying trend remains favorable," said Ryan Sweet, an economist at Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pa. "We will be able to muster stronger job growth in 2014."
The claims data appeared to have little impact on prices for U.S. stocks and bonds, which were little changed in thin holiday-season trading.
Citing an improving labor market, the Federal Reserve earlier this month announced it would reduce its monthly $85 billion bond buying program by $10 billion starting in January.
Payrolls increased solidly in October and November. The unemployment rate dropped to a five-year low of 7 percent in November.
A Labor Department analyst said no states had been estimated, but noted that claims were still in a period of volatility related to the holidays. The volatility is caused by the difficulty inherent in adjusting weekly data for seasonal factors like retailers and schools adjusting the sizes of their staff for the winter season.
Claims for the prior week were revised to show 1,000 more applications received than previously reported. Economists polled by Reuters had expected first-time applications to fall to 345,000 last week.
The claims report showed the number of people still receiving benefits under regular state programs after an initial week of aid rose 46,000 to 2.923 million in the week ended Dec. 14.

"Football. There's murder in that game. Prizefighting doesn't compare in roughness or in danger with football. In the ring, at least you know what you're doing. You know what your opponent is trying to do. He's right there in front of you. But in football -- there's 11 guys trying to do you in!"
-- Heavyweight champion of the world JL Sullivan d. 1918
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is taking a lot of heat right now for his suggestion that the league consider, in the name of player safety, modifying or eliminating the kickoff.
The kickoff is integral to the game. As Jets special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff noted, can you imagine being at the Super Bowl, with the anthem and the cheering and the cameras flashing, only to have an official take the game ball and, instead of putting it on the tee for a booming kick, say, "OK guys, put it down."
Except that football has endured hundreds of changes, large and small, since the flying wedge was banned. Leather helmets are gone, instant replay arrived, not to mention myriad rules about bagels and laundry that NCAA athletes have to follow -- rules that the good old boys of the Ivy Leagues would have scoffed at in the sport's infancy.
In 1905, 73 players reportedly died on the football field from the high school ranks on up, as William Buckley noted in his Observer column on Jan. 25, 2003. The number of deaths and injuries were so alarming that football's rules committee made a radical change that must have horrified traditionalists of the day: the forward pass.
That's right, the very element that distinguishes football from rugby and every other sport was inspired by a desire to protect the health and safety of the men who play the game.
Would eliminating the kickoff be a radical change? Of course. But if the NFL has the data to show that a disproportionate concussions occur during that part of the game, they would be foolish not to consider it.
The league faces lawsuits from hundreds of players over the very issue. Football has always been a murderous game, but rulemakers have always tried to preserve the violence of the game and protect the health of the players.
It may be an impossible task, but kudos to Goodell for trying.

|Grassley, Carper Hope to Include Pharmacists in Accountable Care Organizations
|News Releases - Health, Medicine & Nutrition
|Written by Grassley Press
|Wednesday, 18 December 2013 09:34
Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2013
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware said today they will look for opportunities to advance their proposal to include pharmacists in Medicare's program encouraging providers to give coordinated, high quality care to their Medicare patients.
"Pharmacists can play a critical role in coordinated health care," Grassley said. "As Medicare moves toward payment policies that reward integrated care, we should recognize the role pharmacists play in encouraging adherence with doctors' drug prescriptions."
Grassley and Carper filed but did not offer an amendment to the physician payments bill considered in the Finance Committee last week that would include pharmacists in Medicare programs encouraging Accountable Care Organizations. These are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers who come together voluntarily to give coordinated, high quality care to their Medicare patients. The coordinated care is meant to achieve the right care, especially for chronically ill patients, while avoiding wasteful duplication and preventing medical errors.
The organizations share in the savings they achieve for the Medicare program when they succeed in delivering high-quality care while avoiding wasteful duplication and spending. Medicare currently does not promote pharmacists' participation in Accountable Care Organizations, even though pharmacists play a significant role in overseeing patients' prescription adherence.
Grassley and Carper said they will look for legislative opportunities to advance this proposal in the coming months. Grassley also co-sponsored an amendment offered by Carper encouraging the development of quality metrics related to medication adherence. The Carper-Grassley amendment was offered and withdrawn.-30-

I have a couple of questions about Handle on the Arts for anyone who's used it, especially with Sonlight. We are using Sonlight Core B next year with a first and third grader.
First, I'm just wanting to make sure I'm looking at the right thing. Is it Time Traveler Volume I for Core B and Volume II for Core C?
And it looks like the Time Traveler Resource Guide kit is a slightly condensed version of the same thing and basically I can just use that for 1/2 the price. Will I be missing much with that?
Thanks so much!!!

How many weeks are you, and are you showing?
How many weeks are you, and are you showing?
Almost 10 weeks, a little thicker in the waist bu I think it is because I have not been to the gym since my m/s started over a month ago! I have not gained any wt yet though, thank goodness! My belly is soft, not firm, so I am fairly certain it is not the baby =P
Happily married RN, mother of 4: 2 teens, a toddler, and my new little baby...I am so done!
I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow and I am slightly showing. It looks like I had a big meal. lol.
I'm 12 weeks and my SO tells me that I look more pregnant. I have lost nearly 16lbs since getting pregnant (yay for morning sickness...) And my belly is definetly poked out more.... Baby or bloat, who knows! Probably a bit of both
First Time Momma
Expecting a Little Pink Firecracker
Due July 9, 2013!
I'm showing. I am 11 weeks. We didnt tell anyone about the pregnancy until christmas as a surpirse to our parents. His parents came over and within 3 minutes they asked me if I was pregnant. I was shocked that they could tell.
Your baby may be small now but you uterus is expanding. About the size of a grapefruit at the 12th week so showing (especially if you are slender) is legit.

Good Work Group
This will be her ninth loan from Tujijenge Tanzania. She used the previous loans to restock the missing items in her food store. She started selling soup, paid school fees and household expenses and bought more sacks of charcoal, and she has paid back all her loan successfully.
She hopes for a loan to buy more sacks of charcoal to resell to more customers.
Her dream is to one day be able to finish building her family house.
She will share this loan with her loan group, "Good Work," which totals 15 members who will hold each other accountable for paying back the loan.
Additional Information
About Tujijenge TanzaniaThis loan is administered by Tujijenge Tanzania, which was founded in 2006. It has operations in Dar es Salaam, the coastal region, and the Lake Victoria region. The organization aims to reach out to micro entrepreneurs and provide them with financial and social intermediation services because capital is one of the major barriers to development and success for micro-enterprise initiatives in Tanzania.
For more information on Tujijenge Tanzania, please visit its partner page, or join its lending team.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Special Report
William McDonald: He's Kept the Faith
Lutherans honor Tuskegee hero from World War II.
The mainline church officials who make up the Religious Left prefer to portray America as a shameful imperial power obsessed with conquest. Veterans of America's wars, as cogs of the empire, are not typically honored.
But local church people often override the biases of their senior clerics and honor the veteran warriors among them. North Carolina Lutherans recently paid homage to an 83-year-old Tuskegee Airman veteran who has long been active in one of their churches.
"Just being able to survive, to make it, and to keep my faith -- those are the things I'm most proud of," William McDonald told the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) News Service. He's a long-time elder at Lutheran Church of the Abiding Savior in Durham. The denomination's North Carolina Synod, at its recent gathering, unanimously hailed him "not only for his military service, but even more for his keep faith, grace-filled personal witness, and faithful labor in the Kingdom of God."
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first black flyers in the U.S. Armed Forces and were formed by President Franklin Roosevelt at the start of World War II. They trained at the historically black Tuskegee Institute on Alabama and were deployed as bomber escorts starting in 1942 during the North Africa campaign, continuing through the Italian campaign, and concluded the war by leading raids on strategic targets in Germany.
Nearly 1,000 Tuskegee pilots were certified, 450 of whom flew in combat missions. Over 60 were killed in combat, and dozens more died in service related accidents. Last March, several hundred Tuskegee veterans, including pilots, bombadiers, navigators and others, were on hand in the U.S. Capitol dome, where they collectively received a Congressional Gold Medal that President Bush bestowed upon all Tuskegee airmen, both living and dead. In 2005, seven elderly Tuskegee veterans traveled to Iraq to give encouragement to U.S. Air Force personnel there.
YEARS AGO, I HOSTED ONE of the most senior Tuskegee heroes at my Methodist church in Arlington, Virginia. Lt. Gen. Benjamin Davis, then age 79, had just written his 1991 memoir. The son of the first black general in the history of the U.S. armed forces, Davis was the first black to graduate from West Point since Reconstruction. His classmates in the West Point class of 1934 had shamefully shunned him, with one exception, whom Davis cited in his memoir, and who was present for the Methodist Men's breakfast at my church.
Tall, slender, very distinguished with white air and a deep voice, Davis impressed my church with his dignity, devotion to country and lack of acrimony over his early struggles against racial prejudice, of which the silent treatment at West Point had been one of the most searing. Davis was the first of the Tuskegee airmen certified as a pilot, became a young colonel during World War II, later served in the Korean War, and eventually became the U.S. Air Force's first black general. He died in 2002.
The spirit of dignity and service that animated Davis clearly was common among the Tuskegee airmen. The North Carolina Lutherans said as much about their fellow churchman, William McDonald, who was described as a "quiet gentleman who commands respect not because of his title or his accomplishments, but because of what he has experienced and how he treats others." The Lutheran bishop of North Carolina noted, "When Bill speaks, people listen."
According to the ELCA News Service report, McDonald exemplifies the Tuskegee motto, which was, "All blood runs red." Many of the Tuskegee fighter planes during the war had red tipped wings. Noting the distinctive insignia, U.S. bombers often appreciated their protective presence without realizing that the pilots were black. On the Sunday after he was in Washington, D.C. with other veterans to receive the collective Congressional Gold Medal, McDonald's church celebrated their hero and went on to compose the resolution that the ELCA's North Carolina Synod approved last June.
That resolution hails the "record, example, and honorable conduct of the Tuskegee airmen," which has "served as a powerful role model to multiple generations." The North Carolina Lutherans unanimously expressed their "extreme respect for our brother, William McDonald, as well as our gratitude to Almighty God for giving him to us to know and love."
McDonald credited his Lutheran upbringing in Detroit for guiding him throughout his long life. "The church meant so much to me as I grew older," he said. "When I went off to college, I was grounded well in faith, and I had the strength to combat the obstacles I had to face." His pastor at Lutheran Church of the Abiding Savior in Durham linked McDonald's integrity to his infectious faith in Jesus.
As a young man, McDonald had been the only black engineering student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He joined the Tuskegee Airmen in 1944 and visited the South then for the first time. "We knew [in Michigan] that [segregation] existed, but reading about it and living it are two different things," he told the ELCA News Service. "You had to readjust your life and everything to those social conditions."
After the war McDonald worked as an electrical engineer and has lived in North Carolina since 1973, where since retirement he has been busy with church work and with helping to renovate housing for homeless people. Like other veterans of his era, he does not demand attention for himself, and he uncomplainingly credits God for helping him to endure racial discrimination, depression, war and other vicissitudes of life.
McDonald's example, so Christian in character, is not often recognized in the official circles of the mainline church world. But his fellow members of the Lutheran Church of the Abiding Savior in Durham made sure that other North Carolina Lutherans knew that his record deserved honoring.

Trading Ease For Transparency With Interchange-Plus
I've already talked about tiered-pricing in my previous posts. I've talked about the fact that I dislike it as pricing model, and that I prefer a different model instead. That different model is interchange-plus also known as "interchange pass through."
But wait, what is interchange plus? Here's a quick review of what interchange-plus actually is…
Until recently, only the largest merchants have been able to obtain "Interchange-Plus" Pricing. Otherwise known as "interchange pass through" pricing, Interchange-Plus is the practice of pricing a merchant with a transaction fee and then passing the exact interchange and assessment costs from the Associations to the merchant. – TransactionWorld.net
Instead of narrowing down the interchange rate categories into a few manageable tiers, interchange-plus just passes the Visa and Mastercard interchange rates directly to the consumer. The acquirer then tacks on their markup, and calls it a day.
So, what's the benefit of interchange-plus pricing?
With interchange-plus, you know exactly what Visa and Mastercard are charging you, and you know exactly what your acquirer's markup is. You don't have to guess why only a fraction of your transactions are falling under the Qualified Rate tier that you were quoted by your agent, and why most of your other transactions are listed under the more expensive Mid-Qualified and Non-Qualified tiers.
Although tiered pricing was setup by acquirers to make it easier for us merchants to understand our statements, it offered an incentive for the acquirer as well.
In addition, common practice was for acquirers to mark up and charge significantly more for "downgraded" transactions (those that did not qualify for the best rate applicable). These "downgrades" often comprised the majority of the profit acquirers received on merchants, as business owners focused mainly on the "qualified" or best rate. – TransactionWorld.net
But, with interchange-plus, they don't have that incentive…
Interchange-Plus does not allow acquirers to increase profit on "downgraded" transactions. – TransactionWorld.net
So, interchange-plus = bad for acquirers, but good for you.
There has been a great deal of debate about whether Interchange-Plus is a purer form of pricing. Interchange-Plus puts the merchant in a situation where they will always pay their acquirer the same and be directly responsible for the costs from the Associations, with no mark-ups. However, this pricing methodology can create merchant confusion as understanding statements with numerous qualification levels is complex and tedious. – TransactionWorld.net
The question to be asking yourself is; are you willing to sacrifice ease for transparency? In a time like this, I'd opt for interchange-plus pricing.

I had a restless night filled with very odd dreams about all sorts of things. Probably due to feeling a bit stressed about my appointment today.
I have taken today off work so that I don't have to worry about any schedule other than getting to my appointment on time.
I have lots of questions written down that I want to ask the specialist and I'm trying very hard to leave everything in God's control. Last night is the first time that my knee has given me so much grief during the night. It seemed like every time I turned over I caused it to start throbbing. Perhaps it has done it before, I've just never noticed because I was actually sleeping!
I'm praying for and claiming a positive outcome today and that the surgery will be scheduled quickly.
Had a voice message from my Aunt's husband yesterday to let me know that Aunt Muriel is going to be hospitalized for some time, she is out of immediate danger, but they are very concerned about her rapid deterioration. We played telephone tag, as he had already gone to the hospital to visit her when I got the message. He called again last night after I had gone to bed and Garry talked with him for a bit. I'll try and touch base with him again today.
Still waiting to hear when the funeral is going to be for my uncle that passed away on Friday. As it will be in BC, I'm not sure if we will be able to go as roads through the mountain passes at this time of year are not always good. Flying is rather expensive, but we will see.
My Gratefuls:
1. I'm grateful to have heard directly from Uncle Lyle yesterday about Aunt Muriel. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
2. I'm grateful to have today off work so that I only have one schedule to content with. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
3. I'm grateful that today is the day I see my specialist again and hopefully get some answers to questions that I have. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
4. I'm grateful that the snow that was supposed to occur last night didn't. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
5. I'm grateful that Garry was able to put in a whole day at work yesterday and that he was able to cope with the discomfort of his leg. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
6. I'm grateful for the trials that we are going through as they have given us new eyes about situations. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
7. I'm grateful that we are blessed to have all our needs met and even some of our wants. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
8. I'm grateful that I have been working towards a healthier me and that I've been able to do good with the staying on track. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
9. I'm grateful that I am already set up to work from home on a "need to" basis, so that when I do have my surgery, I will be able to have a moderated work schedule from home. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
10. I am grateful for this new day of life and look forward to all the opportunities that lie before me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Have a blessed and wonderful day,
