Married in the Sight of God: Theology, Ethics and Church Debates over Homosexualityby Christian Batalden Scharen
View All Available Formats & Editions
Married in the Sight of God is a case study into the contemporary sexual ethics debates in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Christian B. Scharen analyzes the origin, rhetorical use, and institutionalization of the Lutheran "orders of creation" theology used to exclude gays and lesbians. In addition, this study shows that the Lutheran tradition holds neglected possibilities for an affirming theological and ethical position that blesses the lives and leadership of people homosexual or heterosexual who make life-long promises of love and fidelity one to another.

About this design:
The piece with the Stormy blue keshi pearls and vanilla pearls with silver accents that is on the left side is what I am trying to decide what to do with. I really like this but I am not sure my friend would see the value. Shantel's amythest is on the right of the picture it is designed the way I designed my friend Sherry's Christmas present. I think she wants them all the same. What to do this is so pretty the pearls and silver. May send her a picture. No clasp as is not done yet?
Components:Stormy Blue Keshi pearls, Vanilla pearls, silver spacer beads.
Read the comments (or add your own)
Woops the necklace on the left in this picture is the one I created for my future (??) Daughter in law. I'll create a space for that one alone later. It is amythest pearls and gold spacer beads and gold lobster clasp. I made bracelet the same so she could add it to the necklace and make the choker style into a longer necklace.
The amythest bracelet has to be made shorter as it is 8 1/4 inches. Way to big for this girl I made it for.
They are both very pretty!
It's lovely the way it is . I think she will love it!
Beautiful they way they are actually. I would wear any and all of them (well, that is, after you attach the clasp!) They are very stunning in the pics and I'm sure the pics don't do them justice.
These are so bretty. Your future-daughter in law is a lucy girl.
I love the light/dark contrast.
Faith my friens I hope You are having a good weekend. Here is late evening and I have to go to sleep soon.
Oh, I think these are all wonderful!
Very nice Faith!!!!
Thank you EA Beth, Stormy Deb, Linda Kitty MOM, Arja, and Lorrie. I am happy if I were the person wearing them. I just don't feel the passion I feel when I look at everyone's creations. I'll get better with time. I guess I am just not daring with my design. I tend to buy smaller stones and end up with jewelry that is smaller looking and sort of over the counter like I sold for years. Now I think why would someone else want to buy it this way? Kind of a confusing analogy. Well you know what I mean.
So very nice, I love the colors….
Turns out good thing I made the bracelet. Future daughter in law is on the heavy side and cannot wear a choker so glad she can add the bracelet for now until I can send an extender. That was a big boo boo on Mom's part.
Well that was confusing the amythest, with champagne pearls and gold was for new daughter in law to be. The other one for Shelly is probably going into 2 pieces or what ever. Any how I'm sorry thought I might clarify that mess incase anyone checks into it.

Computerworld dubs the Xserve G5 a \'dream machine\'
Computerworld has posted a positive review of the Xserve G5, noting that it is up to 60% faster than its predecessor: "Focusing solely on the hardware, the new Xserve just wows me. It has one or two 2-GHz G5 processors, uses 400-MHz ECC RAM and has a dedicated front-side bus running at 1 GHz. Add to that the ability to support up to 8GB of RAM, and you have the makings of the fastest Mac ever conceived. But Apple didn't stop there. Each of the three drive modules contains dedicated 150MB/sec. controllers, and the Xserve supports 100- and 133-MHz PCI-X cards.

Microsoft Xbox revision to use G5, new ATI chips
The Mercury News reports that Microsoft will use the G5 chip in its next-generation Xbox due in the fall of 2004 before Sony's PlayStation 3 launch (expected in 2006): "The details suggest Microsoft is far more concerned about keeping the cost of its Xbox Next console low than it is with including dazzling technological features or driving its rivals out of the business...[It will feature] (1) Three IBM-designed 64-bit microprocessors. The combined power of these chips means the Xbox Next will have more computing power than most personal computers. The chips are used in Apple Computer's high-end G5 PowerMac machines now. (2) A graphics chip designed by ATI Technologies with speeds much faster than its upcoming R400 chip for the personal computer. This chip will help the next Xbox to display games with the resolution of high-definition TV."

NYT: Jobs becoming digital media mogul?
The New York Times says that Pixar's decision to walk away from Disney is "the clearest indication yet that Mr. Jobs is becoming the personification of the digital media mogul," noting that Jobs has "been built on his ability to anticipate the public's appetite for technical innovation...Indeed, one of Mr. Jobs's strategic strengths may be his understanding of the limits of technology. Some industry executives have wondered whether Mr. Jobs's breaking off the Disney negotiations was partly a prelude to efforts to take the top job at a Hollywood company - maybe even Mr. Eisner's job."
HP-Apple deal: \"shortcut for playing catchup\" to iPod
The HP-Apple deal was a shortcut in playing catch up to Apple's iPod technology, according to The LA Times: The deal reportedly began with a phone call from Steve Jobs to Carly Fiorina in mid-2003 with negotiations picking up in "earnest" in December 2003 for the January 8th announcement: "HP had gone through numerous music player designs and had built several prototypes to show to focus groups around the country. But people kept saying they preferred the celebrated iPod from Apple Computer Inc."
Apple, Microsoft in talks to cooperate on music DRM
Billboard reports that the music industry is pushing Microsoft and Apple to figure out interoperability issues between the companies' digital music formats: "Hardware makers and digital format developers, including many traditional adversaries, are engaged in private talks aimed at meeting the music industry's goal of compatibility among competing digital music devices by 2005. [However], at a minimum, the companies behind the leading format standards would have to cut licensing deals to allow for the conversion of content and transfer of DRM rules -- something the companies have been loath to do so far."

Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu

Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu

US: Tyson expands four meat plants
Tyson wants to increase production of value-added lines
US meat group Tyson Foods is expanding four of its plants in the country as part of a strategy to "add value" to their products.
Tyson said it has spent US$40m on facilities in Texas, Tennessee, Virginia and Florida.
"Tyson continues the strategy of adding value to our commodity products for retail customers and consumers," Gary Sheneman, senior vice president of case ready beef and pork at Tyson, said.
The company said the investment "could create as many as 490 jobs".
Last week, Tyson reported an 11% increase in profits for the first quarter of its financial year.
In November, when Tyson posted its financial results for its last fiscal year, the company said it would look to accelerate growth in value-added poultry.
CEO Donnie Smith told analysts Tyson's "destiny" was not to become a "low-cost commodity protein company".

Bringing Food Into Ireland
Report Abuse
For most visitors to Ireland, there are no restrictions on importing food.
However, visitors arriving from outside Europe may not bring meat or dairy products or certain exotic live plants. Details are complicated, and vary slightly depending which country you're importing them into. There are usually no restrictions at all on the intra-Ireland land border
The Republic's rules are at www.revenue.ie: Northern Ireland's at www.nidirect.gov.uk/index/travel-and-transport/travelling-abroad/before-you-travel/bringing-food-and-plants-into-northern-ireland.htm
Nuts are just fine.
Report Abuse
Nuts, protein bars, and the like are easily found here. Is there a particular reason why you should bring them with you?
Report Abuse
Perhaps they want to eat them on the plane, or are allergic to some ingredients and want to make sure they have some without them?
I always bring snacky-bits with me for the plane ride so I don't have to find a shop first thing. Especially for my DH, who suffers from low blood sugar after a flight.
Report Abuse
Snack bars are fine i brink them round the world and have nebver been questioned
Report Abuse
My problem with snack bars is that many of the low-sugar ones contain coconut as a sweetener, and I can't stand coconut. It takes me a while to find some without in the US grocery stores - I can just imagine trying in a strange place

thanks so much for links and advice. We love Pure Protein bars and hard to get in US not sure avails in Ireland.

Charles Durning, the two-time Oscar nominee who was dubbed the king of the character actors for his skill in playing everything from a Nazi colonel to the pope, has died at his home in New York City. He was 89.
Durning's longtime agent and friend Judith Moss said that he died of natural causes in his home in the borough of Manhattan on Monday (US time).
Although he portrayed everyone from blustery public officials to comic foils to put-upon everymen, Durning may be best remembered by movie audiences for his Oscar-nominated, over-the-top role as a comically corrupt governor in 1982's The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Many critics marvelled that such a heavyset man could be so nimble in the film's show-stopping song-and-dance number, not realising Durning had been a dance instructor early in his career. Indeed, he had met his first wife, Carol, when both worked at a dance studio.
The year after Best Little Whorehouse, Durning received another Oscar nomination, for his portrayal of a bumbling Nazi officer in Mel Brooks' To Be or Not to Be. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe as the harried police lieutenant in 1975's Dog Day Afternoon.
He won a Golden Globe as best supporting TV actor in 1991 for his portrayal of John Honey Fitz Fitzgerald in the TV film The Kennedys of Massachusetts and a Tony in 1990 as Big Daddy in the Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Durning had begun his career on stage, getting his first big break when theatrical producer Joseph Papp hired him for the New York Shakespeare Festival.
He went on to work regularly, if fairly anonymously, through the 1960s until his breakout role as a small town mayor in the Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning play That Championship Season in 1972.
He quickly made an impression on movie audiences the following year as the crooked cop stalking con men Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the Oscar-winning comedy The Sting.
Dozens of notable portrayals followed. He was the would-be suitor of Dustin Hoffman, posing as a female soap opera star in Tootsie; the infamous seller of frog legs in The Muppet Movie; and Chief Brandon in Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy. He played Santa Claus in four different movies made for television and was the pope in the TV film I Would be Called John: Pope John XXIII.
"I never turned down anything and never argued with any producer or director," Durning said in 2008, when he was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Other films included The Front Page, The Hindenburg, Breakheart Pass, North Dallas Forty, Starting Over, Tough Guys, Home for the Holidays, Spy Hard and O Brother Where Art Thou?
Durning also did well in television as a featured performer as well as a guest star. He appeared in the short-lived series The Cop and the Kid (1975), Eye to Eye (1985) and First Monday (2002) as well as the four-season Evening Shade in the 1990s.
"If I'm not in a part, I drive my wife crazy," he acknowledged during a 1997 interview. "I'll go downstairs to get the mail, and when I come back I'll say, 'Any calls for me?"'
Durning's rugged early life provided ample material on which to base his later portrayals. He was born into an Irish family of 10 children in 1923, in Highland Falls, New York, a town near West Point. His father was unable to work, having lost a leg and been gassed during World War I, so his mother supported the family by washing the uniforms of West Point cadets.
The younger Durning himself would barely survive World War II.
He was among the first wave of US soldiers to land at Normandy during the D-Day invasion and the only member of his Army unit to survive. He killed several Germans and was wounded in the leg. Later he was bayoneted by a young German soldier whom he killed with a rock. He was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and survived a massacre of prisoners.
In later years, he refused to discuss the military service for which he was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts.
"Too many bad memories," he told an interviewer in 1997. "I don't want you to see me crying."
Tragedy also stalked other members of his family. Durning was 12 when his father died, and five of his sisters lost their lives to smallpox and scarlet fever.
A high school counsellor told him he had no talent for art, languages or maths and should learn office skills. But after seeing King Kong and some of James Cagney's films, Durning knew what he wanted to do.
Leaving home at 16, he worked in a munitions factory, on a slag heap and in a barbed-wire factory. When he finally found work as a burlesque theatre usher in Buffalo, New York, he studied the comedians' routines, and when one of them showed up too drunk to go on one night, he took his place.
He would recall years later that he was hooked as soon as heard the audience laughing.
Durning and his first wife had three children before divorcing in 1972. In 1974, he married his high school sweetheart, Mary Ann Amelio.
He is survived by his children, Michele, Douglas and Jeannine. The family planned to have a private family service and burial at Arlington National Cemetery.

State College, PA- The Mahoning Valley Scrappers fell on Tuesday night in State College, 12-5 to extend their losing streak to 7 games. In a game that they led two different times, the Scrappers were unable to hold on and were swept for the second consecutive series.
\The offense got started early on Tuesday night. Claudio Bautista singled with 1 out and moved to 3rd on Juan Herrera's triple. Both runners would score on a wild pitch when Spikes' catcher Luke Voit threw the ball away trying to retire Bautista at the plate.
The Scrappers saw their lead disappear in the bottom of the 2nd inning when Ronald Castillo and Voit hit consecutive pitches for back to back homeruns.
Trailing by 2 runs in the top of the 5th inning, the Scrappers took the lead back. Nellie Rodriguez singled home Bautista who had walked to start the inning. Robel Garcia then singled home Herrera, who had walked as well, and Rodriguez for the 5-4 lead.
The lead was short lived as with 2 outs in the bottom of the inning, Castillo drilled a 2 out 2 run triple to grab the lead back for good for State College. The Spikes would then blow the game open in the 7th when they sent 11 batters to the plate on the way to a 6 run inning.
Rob Whitenack (1-3) started for the Scrappers and took the loss. He went 4.2 innings allowing 9 hits and 6 runs. He walked 2 and struck out 3. He was ejected from the game when he hit Voit with a pitch in the 5th inning. Kyle Crockett followed and went 1 inning allowing 0 runs on 1 hit. Kerry Doane relieved Crockett and worked 1 inning. He gave up 6 runs on 7 hits while walking 1 and striking out 2. Manuel Carmona worked the final 1.1 innings. He did not allow a hit or run while striking out 1 and walking none.
The Scrappers return home on Wednesday, July 10th to begin a 6 game home stand. Indians 3rd round draft choice, Dace Kime will start on the mound. Call the Scrappers box office at 330-505-0000 to get your tickets.

One Piece Unlimited World: Red, last years hit 3DS title will be released in Europe, Australia, and America on Wii U and 3DS sometime in 2014. Unfortunately for us Americans, The Wii U version can only be downloaded from the eShop. Hopefully, we get a price cut for the digital only release. Unlimited World: Red looks similar to its predecessor Unlimited Cruise with a Monster Hunter twist.
One Piece Unlimited World: Red has a focus on multiplayer and it involves gathering bugs, hunting, taking down giant monsters, and rebuilding a town that acts as your home base. It is nice to see Namco Bandai taking a risk and releasing the game in the west. What do you think about the west getting another One Piece game? How do you feel about the digital only release?

Forget Giggs at 40... goalkeeper Poole comes to Burton's rescue at the age of 50
Burton will name 50-year-old goalkeeping coach Kevin Poole in their squad for their Sky Bet League Two clash with Mansfield on Tuesday night.
The veteran, who made top-flight appearances for Derby and Leicester during a lengthy career which began in 1981, will act as cover for No 1 Dean Lyness following the recall of on-loan Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford.
Safe hands: Kevin Poole has been named in the Burton squad at the age of 50
Helping hand: Poole is ready to help out manager Gary Rowett in his hour of need

|Northampton Town (loan)
|Hartlepool United (loan)
|Leicester City
|Birmingham City
|Bolton Wanderers
|Derby County
|Burton Albion
It will be the second time this season Poole, who is the oldest registered player with the Football League, takes his place on the bench after doing so in a similar situation last month.
Brewers boss Gary Rowett told BBC Derby: 'Obviously that is not something we want to do long term.
'I said to Pooley at the start of the season that if we have to do it for one game, if it saves us wasting money on a loan keeper for a month, then it makes sense for me to do it.'
Poole's last first-team appearance for the Brewers came as a 47-year-old in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat to Rotherham.

HCL Technologies and Consumers Energy Agreement Brings New Technology Center to Michigan
300 New Local Jobs to Be Created with Help from State of Michigan
SUNNYVALE, California and JACKSON, Michigan, May 11, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
HCL America, Inc., a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of HCL Technologies Ltd. (HCL)
], a leading global Information Technology (IT) services provider,
and Consumers Energy [
], the 4th-largest U.S. electric and
natural gas company, today announced that the two companies will collaborate on a new
"Glocal" Center of Excellence (GCoE) called the Michigan Technology Development Center
(MTDC). The Center will be located at the Commonwealth Commerce Center in downtown
Jackson, Michigan.
As part of the agreement, HCL expects to hire local technology professionals and
create 300 professional technology positions during phase one of the MTDC opening. The
MTDC also will be a designated training and development hub for advanced and emerging IT
processes, tools and will work with local universities and colleges. The center will also
establish a learning academy to train Consumers Energy employees on advanced and emerging
technologies, and will be further expanded to accommodate 500 technology professionals in
the next few years.
The two companies entered into an agreement with the objective of improving
operational excellence through advanced technological operations and processes and provide
significant benefits to the mid-Michigan and Jackson economies. The agreement will
significantly increase Michigan's IT capacity, while improving employment prospects for IT
graduates from Michigan universities and colleges. It will also serve as a leading example
of Michigan's new, successful economic policies.
This agreement is the result of the Consumers Energy leadership's vision to embark on
a game-changing plan to move its IT department from a technology support role to
technology innovators - and will utilize HCL's expertise through its matured processes and
highly qualified employees. It will enable Consumers Energy's IT department to leverage
HCL's software solutions expertise to manage its existing operations, thereby allowing
Consumers Energy's many talented and knowledgeable employees to focus on innovative
assignments supporting business excellence for the utility. HCL is a recognized leader in
the energy and utilities sector with a proven track record of delivering IT enabled
industry targeted solutions.
"Our company is making this important investment to provide our employees with new IT
skills to work on high value projects and technologies that will prepare our company for
the future," said Mamatha Chamarthi, Vice President and Chief Information Officer of
Consumers Energy. "Through this center, HCL will provide IT operations for our company,
enabling our employees to move to innovative projects."
"HCL's expansion demonstrates that our economic gardening strategy is helping dynamic
companies to grow their presence in Michigan," said Governor Rick Snyder. "This investment
by HCL and continued commitment of Consumers Energy sends a message that will be heard
around the world that Michigan's highly competitive business climate and tremendous
workforce capabilities mean real opportunities for leading edge businesses."
"As a socially responsible organization, HCL will invest in developing the
next-generation workforce in Michigan by creating high-quality jobs in the industry and
the region," said Rajeev Sawhney, Corporate Vice President, HCL Technologies. "We look
forward to working with Consumers Energy on these strategic initiatives within its
organization and the region."
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the City of Jackson, the Jackson
Enterprise Group and the Commonwealth Commerce Center all provided substantial assistance
in supporting HCL's decision to locate in Jackson, a prime central Michigan location in
close proximity to many Michigan universities and colleges.

Wild Parrots At It Again
updated: Feb 27, 2014, 12:45 PM
By Larry
Those pesky parrots have been visiting us for years, usually in the morning. The crows were away on
vacation this morning, so the parrots perched in the tree long enough to get some nice pictures. I counted
10 birds in the flock; I believe there used to be 12 or so. I may have mis-counted.
