Reverence, Rue and ResentmentMature
"Move it backward," said Lieutenant Pierce, pointing to the holographic globe at the center of the deck. "Stop! forward slightly. Whoa! Stop there and magnify sector Oscar Two Zero by a factor of sixty five. There it is."
Admiral Jameson took a step closer. A blue hue shimmered off the sharp edges of his face as he looked up at the sphere. His brow wrinkled as he scowled at the flickering image. "Are you sure Lieutenant?"
The Lieutenant nodded to the Admiral, "Sir, I am one hundred percent positive." He looked up at the magnified three dimensional image as it hovered above them. A dark blotch filled the sphere; a blurred cigar shaped silhouette.
"How?" The Admiral said in a harsh voice, pointing violently at the hologram. "How did our sensors miss this?"
"Well." Pierce turned to the hologram, his hands waving around as though he was conducting a silent orchestra. "Although the debris field consists mainly of man made refuse, it's still a naturally occurring cluster of any objects with enough velocity to escape the local planetary gravity wells while simultaneously lacking the velocity to travel past the system's -"
"Pierce." The Captain interrupted. "Wrap it up."
"Right," said the young Lieutenant, peering over his shoulder to the Admiral who was glaring at him impatiently. "Well, basically the debris field is hiding ship signatures; but as you can see …" Pierce pointed to the blurred holographic image "... they can't hide from our optics."
Captain Anderson took in a deep breath. "This is an interesting turn of events. How did your angry farmers get their hands on an Idris Frigate? It's bad enough we have a Retaliator to contend with. Who knows what else they have in that garbage heap?"
Admiral Jameson, still glaring furiously at the image, ground his teeth as he spoke, "Send a pigeon to Higher." He turned and marched toward the stairs to the upper bridge, not once looking at Michael as he stormed past, yelling. "I want to know who was responsible for the intelligence on this operation!"
Lieutenant Pierce came to the Captain's side with a Glas in hand. "There's something else Sir. It just came in this morning."
"What is it?" Asked the Captain, taking the Glas that Pierce was offering. His eyes scanned the information. "What?"
"I'm not sure what to say Sir. It's just ..."
"Gone." The Captain said, finishing the young Lieutenant's sentence. "It's gone," he said again, in a murmur staring beyond the Glas and into infinity.
Lieutenant Pierce could see moisture brewing in the Captain's eyes. "Sir, the anomaly may have disappeared, but that doesn't mean we have to lose hope for the two pilots who went through. They could very well still be alive."
"Your data would suggest otherwise Lieutenant, though I'm thankful for the reassurance; in the end I'm a realist and the reality of the situation is that navigating an unstable wormhole and surviving is improbable to say the least. To top it off, we will never be able to send something through to get closure. Now that it's collapsed, hope of rescuing them is truly lost."
"You're right Sir, we may never be able travel to their destination to discover their fate. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean they're dead."
"That may be the case Pierce, but the UEE will want us to provide closure." The Captain sighed, handed back the Glas, and turned about before climbing the steep and narrow stairway to the upper bridge in silence.
The Wolf Pack's common area was quiet, with periodic interruptions from the corridor as other crew members walked by or carried out loud conversations from one doorway to another. Ivar sat at the sofa, reading from a small Glas he had purchased during his short time on Terra before continuing to the Scipio. With a furrowed brow, he impatiently flipped through the pages of a fiction novel with the complete absence of interest. When a body came through the door, his gaze popped up.
Sophine walked in, sitting on the sofa opposite Ivar.
"Hey, I wanted to say sorry about earlier."
Sophine looked across the room and smiled. "Don't worry about it."
"If you ever need to talk I'm a good listener."
Sophine sat there for a moment, looking at him as though she were searching for something. "Okay."
Ivar nodded, "Okay, well ... anytime," he said as he got up.
"No, I mean let's talk."
Ivar's eyes widened. "You mean right now?"
"Yeah. I think you're right. I've been internalizing things too long and I need to let them out."
Ivar swallowed the lump that had grown in his throat and straightened himself as he sat back down. "Alright, well, go ahead. I'm listening."
There was a moment of silence before she started. "Hector." She said, her eyes watering as she stopped and cleared her throat. "Wow, off to a good start." She laughed nervously, wiping the beginning of tears from her eyes as she took in a deep breath. "Hector and I were together at the academy. You just came from there, so you know very well that the school on MacArthur has a strict policy against romantic relationships between students."
Ivar nodded, and saw very well where this was going.
"We spent a lot of time together during those years, but never once did he make it clear to me if he felt the same way I did about him. To be fair, I guess he may not have known what I felt either; for the same reasons. We couldn't risk our careers for what could have been just a fleeting romance. We had our whole lives ahead of us after all."
Ivar nodded, listening intently.
"Now he's gone, and as much as I hate to let him go; I've realized that I have no choice. When you got here, I found out, more than ever, that I couldn't just keep wishing he'd pop up out of the blue. He's gone." She wiped at another tear as it ran down her cheek. "Heh," she laughed that same nervous laugh. "Your first week here and you're having a therapy session with your wingman."
"It makes some sense though. I'm the new guy. In some way it's probably easier to speak with me about this than it is with people who would have known you at the academy, or could have perhaps judged you for your closeness to Hector."
"You make a good point."
"I'm green." Ivar said, his arms wide in confession. "I've never been in real combat and I've surely not lost a friend. That being said, I can tell you that I have people in my life that I hold more dear than existence; and I would do anything to keep them safe, and do twice that to keep their memories safe if they were to pass from this world. Hector might be gone, but as cliché as it sounds, a part of him survives with you. It's our responsibility as friends and family, to keep our loved ones memories alive. Now, all you have to do is decide which is the best way to accomplish that."
Sophine nodded. "Thank you, for listening. I think I have something to do." She got up and walked out of the common area.
Ivar watched her go, wondering what his words had translated to in her own mind; and what they'd prompted her to do.
The Captain turned to the door as it chimed. "Come in," he said, wondering who it was this late in the evening.
Sophine entered, stood to attention and saluted. "Sir."
Michael saluted in return and got up from his chair. "How can I help you?"
"Sir, I know I'm probably out of line, but I'd like to suggest we hold ceremonies for Pistol and Subtext. I know they're still only listed as missing, but the truth is, they're gone from us. I've spoken to the Padre and some of the other pilots that were at the academy with them. We'd like permission to say goodbye in our own way."
The Captain nodded. "Sit down Blackwood."
Sophine sat at the chair across from the Captain's desk.
"I agree with you, and I promise I'll make the appropriate arrangements. I can't say exactly when I'll be able to put the whole thing together, but I can promise you that it will be a proper procession befitting of a UEE citizen who's performed the ultimate sacrifice for the future of the Empire." The Captain sat, and straightened his tunic. "Now that the textbooks bullshit is out of the way," he looked up at Sophine and saw her discomfort. "I have one thing to ask of you, and this might be hard, but it's important for me."
"Anything Sir."
"Call me Michael, we're officially off the record." He said, pulling two glasses from a cabinet beneath the desk and producing a decanter. He nodded toward the glass.
Sophine smiled and took it in her hand as he poured the aged amber liquor.
"Now." He sat back in his chair and sipped the bitter drink. "This one thing I am requesting is that you tell me about these two young men. I want to know about their lives and what drove them to come out here and risk everything."
Sophine sighed and took a gulp. "You're right, this isn't going to be easy."
In the low lit office, she began telling their story as best she could. The night went on and it seemed as though whole galaxies passed by the Captain's ready room window as he learned of Hector Curshaw and Norman Farnell's lives from Sophine's encounters with them.
Years had passed like water on a river, fast and unnoticed; and for Sophine, recalling their first meeting and indoctrination into the school felt like she was reaching back into another life. At the same time, nostalgia sometimes swept over her and made her words feel like the events could have happened yesterday. Together they laughed loudly, and in turn became silent with reverence; just to break into smiles moments later. She eventually told Michael that her friendship with Hector, for her at least, was a temporary fixation forged by the rules of the academy; she confessed her love for the man that would now never know it fully, and wept for the loss of a life she could never have.
In the early morning, footsteps outside the door told them that silent hours had come to an end. They had spent all night, reminiscing on the two pilots. Michael too, had stories of his own to tell. Even though they had not been on the Scipio for very long, he'd had his fair share of encounters with the two young men; a few of which made for good stories.
With her eyes swollen from weeping, and her head numb with Whiskey. Sophine got up from the leather chair she'd spent the night talking from. "I could just imagine what the officers at the academy would say if they heard that I'd spent the whole night getting drunk with my commanding officer."
"They'd probably bring it up to Higher and I'd get reprimanded for fraternizing with subordinates."
"Michael," he reminded her.
"Well, technically Sir we're on duty again," she said; pointing toward the door; the bustle of morning traffic could be heard as everyone got to their posts.
"True enough."
"I just want to thank you."
"No, Sophine, it's my place to thank you. Without you I wouldn't have had the chance to get to know them." He shook his head. "I lost so many that I never had the chance to know."
"Maybe someday, when this is over, you can go and meet their families and ask them to talk about their lost loved ones."
"I don't think that would be appropriate."
"I beg to differ Sir. If there's anything I've learned from this, it's that keeping someone you love alive in your heart is the most fulfilling way to remember them. I would be very surprised if they chose not to take part in that experience."
The Captain nodded. "Maybe you're right."
"Well, I suppose I have to get to work."
"No, you're going to bed." The Captain sat at his desk and tapped on it. The desk lit up, at which point he navigated through several menus before pulling up a roster and searching through it. "There, you have the day off. Go to sleep, that's an order."
Sophine smiled softly. "Thank you Sir." She walked through the doors and turned to salute. The Captain was returning the salute as the doors slid shut, punctuating the end of an odd but wonderful experience.
Michael took in a deep breath and poured another glass when the door chimed again. "Come in," he said, hiding the glass and decanter beneath the desk.
"Who was that?" Asked Jameson as he walked in.
"That was Second Lieutenant Sophine Blackwood." Michael said, lifting the decanter and glass back over the cusp of the desk.
"I see you're starting early this morning."
"Rather I've been at it late."
Jameson shook his head. "Please don't tell me you're losing it Michael. I don't want to have to get you in trouble."
"It seems we keep having this discussion. For your information, the young girl is in love with one of our missing pilots. She came to mourn his loss, and I obliged. If I remember well, you too have come to me in times of suffering in your past."
"Maybe, but I wasn't your subordinate." Jameson said, pouring a conservative drink of his own, "I also wasn't a ten out of ten with a drop dead body and flowing golden locks."
"She's a brunette."
"Whatever, you know what I mean."
"No, you're right. Still, I wanted to know them better and she was a vehicle for their stories."
"Did it make you feel any better?"
Michael nodded. "Yes Richard. It did."
Jameson was about to take a sip when he stopped, his glass hovering just in front of his mouth, making his words sound hollow. "I'd rather not know the men I put in harms way."
"That's where you and I differ. Well, one place of many where we differ."
Jameson shot the whiskey back and slammed the glass onto the Captain's desk. "Well that's not why I'm here anyway. We got a pigeon drone back from Higher on the subject of that Idirs Frigate."
"What did the think tanks have to say?"
"We talked it over and there are two options."
"There are always more than two options." Michael said, shaking his head.
Jameson nodded, "Yes I agree, but someone up high is pulling strings."
Michael squinted. "What do you mean?"
"They're sending a team."
Michael got up from the chair. "We have plenty of personnel to take care of this. The Vivid even has a small Marine compliment that came along for training purposes."
"Well, they're part of the team. The five Marines we have were testing a weapon, and needed a live combat scenario to see how it performed. This was a low key operation which gave them the right amount of variables to get the conclusions they needed for the program."
"So that was the big picture you couldn't show me until now?"
"There's more to it than that, but yes, that's part of it."
"Richard, if I weren't half drunk I would punch you in the face right now. You couldn't tell me about a stupid weapons test?"
"There are ethical considerations that I didn't want you to have to deal with Michael. Like it or not, you and I can both agree that you're sometimes a sensitive and opinionated person. I didn't want to have a winded philosophical debate to try and convince you as to why this was necessary. In the end I'd have to go over your head anyway because I know you, and you wouldn't let it rest until I pulled rank or put you in the brig."
There was silence.
"Anyway." Jameson said, breaking the quiet. "That's been postponed. The rest of the weapons det's platoon is on their way now."
"How many?" Michael asked.
"According to the manifest, there will be twenty five more bodies on board. Twenty four marines and one listed as civilian."
"Hmm." Micheal rubbed his head. "Civilian."
Jameson was nodding at him, his eyebrows raised.
Jameson shrugged and shook his head, "Who knows? All I know is that they're really interested in how an Idris and at least one Retaliator got into the hands of these radicals."
Michael loosened his collar. "When do they get here?"
"That's the thing. They were nearby, on another operation that was obviously less important than what's come up. They'll be here tomorrow."
Michael nodded. "Do we know who's in charge?"
"Yes, I didn't make note of it, but it should be on TacNet. You can check it out yourself." He said, pointing to the desk.
Michael sat at his desk and logged in. He went through the manifest. Closing his eyes, Michael let his hand slide off the desktop. A muffled "Oh God," came through his fingers as he wiped his face.
"What?" Jameson asked. "What's wrong?"
"Did you see who it is?"
"No, who is it?"
Michael highlighted the Platoon Commanders name and spun it around for Jameson to see.
The Admiral looked down at the screen and saw the name. He hung his head and began rubbing his brow between thumb and forefinger, "Ugh".
Michael sighed. "None other than Major Alera Kusanagi."

|svn:needs-lock for ODF documents?
|Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:40:35 GMT
Noticed this comment on the CommitterStatus.ods file: "Wondering: I think I may be about to experience the disadvantage of binary documents in SVN. If I have a collision, finding a way to merge has to be all off-line and I could collide for a long time while working on this document off-line. Heh." There is a technique we could use in SVN to make binary collisions less likely. If we set the svn:needs-lock property for the file, then when it is checked in, the working copy will be read-only at the OS level. If the user then locks the file in SVN, it becomes writable. And when committed the lock is released and the working copy is read-only again. In general locking is a bad thing, but there are trade-off's when dealing with binary files that cannot be merged or even effectively diff'ed if simultaneously edited. -Rob

The City is slathering with excitement at Shell's £47bn bid for BG group. Its shareholders are less than impressed. The problem for them is that the price represents a 50 per cent premium to where BG shares languished prior to the deal's announcement. To make it pay, Shell really needs the oil price to move up to $90, and quickly.
The question its investors have to ask themselves is whether Shell could pick up something like BG's portfolio, the opportunity it represents and the earnings stream it generates, with its existing assets and resources.
Even if they think it can, and such an outcome won't be quick, they still have to ask if they'd be happy for someone else to have BG, the profits of which will at least help to power the generous dividend Shell pays them. A dividend that represents a welter burden to their company.
What is certain is that this will not be the last mega-deal to be done in the energy sector, as its giants seek cheaper alternatives to risking cash they're not earning on exploration. It likely won't be the biggest either.
BG's most likely suitor was long rumoured to be Exxon, the American giant, which represents the most likely threat to this deal's completion. But Exxon may have it's eyes cast in the direction of an even bigger B in the form of BP. BG's drift had become sufficiently aimless that its board felt the need to risk shareholders ire by offering an appalling £25m with nary a condition attached to lure Helge Lund from Norway's Statoil. He's now going to sail off into the sunset in a boat filled with cash.
BP's board might wish it had only that to worry about. For the US lawyers ranged against it, the Deepwater Horizon disaster is the gift that keeps on giving. The company is more than half owned by Americans, it is run by one (Bob Dudley), and it has substantial operations in the country. But they still insist on referring to it as "British" Petroleum across the Atlantic. The logic of putting it formally into American hands via the mega-deal to end all mega-deals with Exxon is that it could take an awful lot of feet from off its neck.
The biggest question amid all this excitement, however, is not over the future of BP, or whether BG is worth it to Shell. It is whether the energy merger mania that has the City cock-a-hoop is as good for the rest of us as it is the bonus boys.
Shell will no doubt argue its overall share of the global energy market is really quite small, even if it pulls this off and becomes the number one in gas as a result.
But that market is now dominated by state actors that are often used as instruments of foreign policy and giants that have too much clout and influence over policy. That is not a good situation to be in given the ruinous impact upon the environment these businesses can have.Reuse content

Host Families Need Aug. 22-27 for Chinese Exchange Students
The Chinese Culture and Education Center is urgently looking for host families.

Car Rental Market Will Witness Growth Based On Rising Disposable Incomes Together With Enhanced Road Infrastructure Till 2024
The global car rental market is expected to witness a substantial growth over the forecast period, reaching USD 119.56 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The industry is primarily driven by the growth as well as expansion of the global travel and tourism industry. There has been a significant increase in the number of business and leisure trips worldwide over the past few years.
The advent of online rental portals has helped shape the dynamics of the car rental industry. Growing usage of smartphones and tablets has helped customers to book and reserve cars from anywhere at any point of time. Major players, such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Avis Budget Group, are now focusing on developing smartphone applications and optimizing their customer-friendly websites to facilitate quick and convenient bookings.
However, compliance with stringent vehicle emission regulations is expected to challenge the demand for these services across the world. In addition to this, the instability in crudeoil prices and growing demand for publictransportation are presumed to challenge the growth to some degree over the forecast period.

- An emerging trend in the travel and tourism industry which is gaining immense popularity is the evolution of "Bleisure", which refers to a combination of leisure travel with business trips. The growth in this trend is presumed to propel the demand for car rentals among businesses as well as leisure travelers.
- Executive cars are expected to witness a considerable growth with an estimated CAGR of close to 7% from 2016 to 2024. Swift globalization culminating into increased business trips across the globe is the primary factor propelling the growth of these cars in the near future.
- In terms of application, airport transport dominated the overall industry share in 2015 and is presumed to retain its dominance over the next eight years. Rapid globalization has resulted in a significant increase in the number of air travelers across the globe, which, in turn, has bolstered the growth prospects of the industry.
- The Asia Pacific market was valued at over USD 12 billion in 2015 and is presumed to witness a substantial growth over the forecast period. The significant regional growth prospects can be attributed to the rising economic development, enhanced road and infrastructure facilities, and growth in tourism over the forecast period.

After defeating the New Orleans Saints 38-32 yesterday, the Atlanta Falcons secured a first round bye, giving them two weeks before they hit the field in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Denver Broncos have requested to interview Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan during that bye week for the vacant head-coaching position.
Kyle Shanahan is, of course, the son of Mike Shanahan, who won two Super Bowls while serving as head coach of the Broncos from 1995 to 2008.
In his second year as offensive coordinator for the Falcons, Shanahan has taken their offense to new heights, establishing a dominant ground attack with Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman while constructing a legitimate MVP candidacy for quarterback Matt Ryan, who has thrown for 38 touchdowns and just under 5,000 yards this season.
http://www.scout.com/nfl/broncos/story/1742489-kubiak-makes-it-official-... After playing wide receiver for the University of Texas, Shanahan has made stops as a graduate assistant at UCLA, offensive quality control coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, various positions with the Houston Texans (including being promoted to offensive coordinator at the age of 28), offensive coordinator for the Washington Redskins under his father, and finally offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns before moving on to Atlanta.
Shanahan's style is certainly a derivative of the offensive scheme that Gary Kubiak brought back to Denver when he began as head coach in 2015. The hiring would make a lot of sense given Denver's current offensive personnel established during the last two years and Shanahan's own philosophy as an offensive architect.
It's worth noting that when the Broncos parted ways with Mike Shanahan after the 2008 season, it caused somewhat of a rift between him and president Joe Ellis.
Eight years later, as the Broncos seek an interview with his son, it's still questionable as to how that will effect Kyle Shanahan's decision as he chooses between the Broncos, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have all requested to interview the young coach.

Conversation with a Demon
"What do you want with us?"
The demon paced around the outside of the circle of swirling sand, leaving slow, frightful footprints at the perimeter. "I desire Form," it replied in its multitudinous whisper. "You can give it to me."
"How?" asked Seoc. "Do you mean ta possess one of us?"
"No. I have tried such methods before, young mortal, and have found it not to my liking. No, it is your souls, not your bodies, that shall serve me. A soul is the purest, most potent source of energy, and it requires a great deal of energy to create a Form."
"Why do you want us in particular?" Seoc inquired, his manner still calm.
"I don't particularly care about you," Jhra informed him. "But it is convenient to have the merman out of my way."
"The proper term," Seymour growled, "is Aechyed."
The demon laughed sinisterly. "Do you think I care?"
"No," Seymour muttered. "But I do. It eliminates the question of whether or not I have a tail."
"Sey," Seoc hissed, shooting him a glare that read very clearly, 'Shut up.'
Jhra stopped pacing. Where it had halted, a tendril of sand parted from the swirling perimeter of the circle and wrapped itself around Seymour's neck. The Aechyed detective struggled, but it was no use.
"I have gathered ninety-nine souls over the past year," the demon whispered. "All I need is yours, Seymour de Winter. Then I shall be whole."
Seoc glanced at the stairs to nowhere. They must serve some purpose. Perhaps they led back to the dunes, or at the very least, the world of the living. It would make sense: Jhra would need some sort of door to leave the Realm of In-Between once it had acquired a physical form. Perhaps those stairs were their only hope of escape.
His musings were interrupted by Seymour's scream of pain. Seoc whirled around and watched in horror as the detective began to dissolve before his eyes. Within a moment, he had been converted entirely to sand and absorbed into a spinning cloud. There was nothing that could be done about it. Seoc leaped for the stairs of sand and ran up them, hesitating only a moment at the top to look over his shoulder. Behind him, the whirling mass was taking the shape of what could have only been described as an enormous, grinning gargoyle of dust.
Seoc launched himself forward, trusting his intuition to save him.

Cars in a parking lot
As prom season, summer weddings and sunshine escapes beckon, here are some questions you may want to ask when picking a limousine company to chauffeur a special evening. Industry officials and regulators alike say there are guidelines to keep in mind:
1. Don't let price be your only consideration
After shopping around for the best price, you should ask for the company's safety record. Ask for their Commercial Vehicle Operator Registration (CVOR) number, used by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation to track a company's accidents and convictions. MTO can provide a public abstract.
2. Make sure the company you plan to hire has insurance and is licensed to operate
Ask the company to provide you with proof of insurance and their license to carry passengers. Be sure to check how many passengers the company is allowed to carry in each vehicle.
3. Check it out
It may sound silly, but people have been known to book based on the pictures they saw online and then were disappointed when their ride arrived "in the flesh." Go and have a look, make sure the limo you're renting is roomy enough. If it's for a wedding, the limo's interior colours may even be a consideration.
4. Ask about gratuities
Is tip for the limo driver included in the total amount? Is there a standard amount expected? Find out beforehand and have the necessary cash on-hand.
5. Get it in writing
Ask for a written agreement with the cost, deposit required, refund policies, pick-up/drop-off times, arrival and departure locations, type of limo requested and specific services you expect. Read the contract carefully and ask questions if you don't understand something. A good limo company will be happy to answer questions.

Dear Warrior {11-04-12, or 11-03-12, depending on how you look at it}
[Note: I am not using anyone's real names.]
Dear, Dear, Dear Warrior...
It's weird, standing in a room where you know so many peoples' struggles. I was in a social setting the other day, in which I looked around and saw so many people whose strengths and weaknesses I know so intimately.
Here is what I could have said.
That's Isabel; she was rejected by one of the people she loves the most. That's Evan; he showed me the scars on his wrists. That's Kristin; she has an eating disorder. That's Taylor; he rarely lets me see his heart, but when he does, I see the monsters that plague his mind.
But, no. As I observed all those around me, I was filled with one of the most incredible feelings I've ever felt.
I don't know if this feeling has a name. "Love" is probably the closest thing to describing it that I can think of, but the mere word "Love" is too vague, too weak.
It was overwhelming. It was pure. It was beautiful. It was intense and immense and indescribable, and it came over me so quickly that suddenly, my eyes were filled with tears, and my heart swelled with...well, with Him.
Because, as I looked out over the sea of individuals, I was struck with a sense of we are His beautiful creations, and He is enthralled with us. How He Loves us; oh, how He Loves us!
And it was not a matter of That's Conner; he struggles with intense anxiety. No, suddenly, it became, That's Conner; he can find rest in God, Who Loves him so dearly and delights in him.
That's Isabel; she will never be rejected by God, Who Loves her so dearly and delights in her.
That's Evan; he can be healed by God, Who Loves him so dearly and delights in him.
That's Kristin; she can be filled - truly filled - with God, Who Loves her so dearly and delights in her.
That's Taylor; he can be protected by God, Who Loves him so dearly and delights in him.
Or you can even drop all the prefixes, all the labels, and simply say, "They are Conner and Isabel and Evan and Kristin and Taylor, and their souls are deeply cherished and adored and Loved by their Creator."
You can even say, "I am __________, and He Loves me; oh, how He Loves me!"
It takes Faith. It takes Grace. It takes Hope. It takes Trust. But I am His precious child, and He Loves me...oh, how He Loves me.
And as I stood there, basking in not only God's Love for me, but also His Love for them, I knew. As unclear as my future is, as much as I honestly don't know where I'm going to go after I graduate, I know what I want to do. I want to take their hands, whether literally or figuratively, and lead them to Him. I want to bind up the broken. I want to cast light on the shadows they hide.
They are beautiful, and I Love them. I must've looked ridiculous, standing in the middle of everything and fighting tears. But I care so much, a caring that only God can give. My heart ached with it. Seeing others as God sees them...it's powerful.
And that day, and ever since, His Love has been so real. I will never give up on them, and He will never give up on them, and He will never give up on me.
How He Loves us; oh, how He Loves us...

The Skinny on Being Healthy in College
By Jesse Hu The latest data on American Obesity rates is in, and it's downright embarrassing. While certainly not a hard-and-fast rule, Americans are statistically fat and complacent: during the years 2011-2012 34.9% of adult Americans were classified as obese and 17.9% of Americans aged 2-19 were classified as obese. The numbers are appalling, but the study does add the consolation that that no...
Is Adderall Worth the A?
By Emma Burke In a perfect world, students would study for tests far in advance and papers would be finalized days before the deadline. However, extracurricular activities tend to lead even the most organized students astray. Many feel pressured by the rigorous academic demands of college and desperately seek a competitive edge against their peers. Studies show that anywhere from 4.1% to 35.5% of...
The Chemistry of Coffee: a Common College Addiction
By Leah Ginn It all starts with a slow rhythmic drip, followed by a noise of bubbling and an emergence of steam. An arousing aroma settles over the room and beckons you to partake in a cup. The first sip is hot and sweet (or bitter, according to preference) to the taste. You soon feel a boost of energy and feel prepared to take on...
Caught In The Labyrinth of Illness
By Megan O'Mara The narrative of the chronically sick is tragically underrepresented and vastly important. Essays like "The Slow Death of Compassion for the Chronically Ill" and "The Spoon Theory" all attempt to explain to the healthy what it means to be chronically ill. For young adults and pre-med students in particular, finding out someone close to you has a chronic illness is surprising, and...
A History of Colleges' Campus Care
By Saakya Peechara The beginning of any school year is stressful and brings with it many changes in a student's life. The beginning of college, however, carries a host of changes that can compound the worries associated with any ordinary new school year. The start of college can mean a sudden increase in freedom, a wealth of classes to delve into and an influx of...
Medical School: Applying as an International Applicant
By Huyen Nguyen To many American students, applying to medical schools is a tedious and endless process. Taking hard science courses, volunteering, shadowing, doing research and studying for the MCAT are the most fundamental things a typical applicant must do throughout their four years in college. People may think that earning a spot in medical schools cannot get any harder, but in fact, there are...
Handy Health: The Benefits of Knitting
By Madison Hogan I started knitting my senior year of high school. It began merely as a curiosity — could I really make a nice hat or scarf on my own? However, the hobby soon became much more than a simple pastime. It was relaxing and enjoyable, and I could practically feel any tension that I had built up flow out of my body...
Take a Hike: How Hiking Can Boost Your Physique, Mood, and Spirit
By Leah Ginn While on a strenuous hike in southern Kentucky near Cumberland Falls, one of my closest friends once said to me, "I think I believe why nature is so sacred; it is the only part of life that exists just as God intends for it to. It does exactly what it is supposed to do." I pondered this statement as I continued walking...
Una Estudiante de Medicina: Shadowing in Perú
