Scripture: Hebrews 9:24-28
For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own; for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Sermon: "Once, For All"
For the months of October and November, we've been exploring the Book of Hebrews, which is essentially an extended sermon, written to churches with members who were probably formerly Jews, but who are now Christians. These churches find themselves in need of encouragement, as we sometimes do, and the author of Hebrews offers it, using images and symbols that are sometimes strange to our ways of thinking, sometimes not, but evidently made perfect sense to his audience.
And today is no different. We find ourselves in the walking into the Holy of Holies, going behind the second veil, into a place even the priests of the temple could not go. Only the high priest was allowed into this space, and even then, only once a year, on the Day of Atonement, on the day when all sins, intended, unintended, known, unknown, real, imagined, the sins of all the people were redeemed. This is a place for which that we, a modern Christians, really have no conception or frame of reference.
In the verses before our scripture today, earlier in chapter 9, we find a tantalizing description of this mysterious place: "Behind the second curtain was a tent called the Holy of Holies. In it stood the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which there were a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat.
…The priests go continually into the first tent to carry out their ritual duties; but only the high priest goes into the second, and he but once a year, and not without taking the blood that he offers for himself and for the sins committed unintentionally by the people."
This is the setting for our scripture today, and while we might be somewhat perplexed, the people who originally gathered to hear this sermon knew exactly what the author was talking about. These were the symbols of their ancient faith: The Ark of the Covenant, containing the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, a golden urn with manna, food in the desert, an edible symbol of God's providence during forty years of wandering. Aaron's rod, the symbol of the line of Priests, the dry stick of wood that bloomed as a sign of being anointed by God.
And above all, the mercy seat, the guarantee of God's forgiveness. The Holiest of Holy items in the Holiest of Holy places.
But just at the moment that the author points out these holy items, he draws the curtain closed again. "About these things," he says, "we will not speak."
And then he begins his description of Christ's sanctuary, of Christ's ministry, of Christ's sacrifice, that we read today.
It was this abrupt drawing of the curtain that caught my attention this week. Why would the author stir up his listener's imagination, just to shut it down again so completely? Why would he remind his audience of the ancient symbols of their faith, just to close the door on them, without further discussion, without further reference, as though they no longer mattered, as though they no longer even existed?
And then I realized that maybe we have more in common with the author's congregation than we might have realized. We know more about what's going on in their lives and in their church than we might want to admit.
Let's remember that this letter to the Hebrews was written right around the time of the destruction of the Jewish Temple. And make no mistake, for Jews and for early Christians, this is a very big deal. Whether you were Jewish or had converted from Judaism, the Temple was the center of communal life. It represented everything that we knew about God. It was the very dwelling place of God.
For hundreds, for thousands of years, the first and second temples in Jerusalem were everything. The Temple was the central bank, it was the town marketplace, it was the community water cooler, it was the Broadway Brew, it was where everybody went, all the time, for everything. 24/7, 365, there was stuff happening at the Temple.
And then, in the year 70, all that came to a crashing halt. The temple was destroyed by the Romans, and the priestly rites of sacrifice, the Holy of Holies, all of what Judaism and the earliest forms of Christianity associated with forgiveness and with relationship with God was taken away from them, forever.
The symbols of their faith were destroyed.
It would be easy for the church to wonder if God was still with them. It would be easy to wonder if there was any chance for redemption, for forgiveness, for relationship, when all the tools which made those things possible had been burned to the ground.
But then the author of Hebrews reminds them that the temple and the rituals of worship that went on in that place, while valid in their own way, were only copies of what was to come.
He reminds them that while the temple was beautiful and the symbols it held had meaning, it was made by human hands; that while the rites of sacrifice were redemptive, they were temporary; and that while the things of this world might fall away, our relationship with Jesus Christ is eternal, and cannot be changed by our external circumstances.
And this is where I think we might find some common ground with the Hebrews.
Because, while we might not participate in temple worship these days, I think that sometimes we still have a temple-style faith. A faith that is dependent on things, on circumstances, a faith that, when these are taken away, when these are changed, we find ourselves rootless, confused, and wondering if God is still with us.
Now, we might have different words for our Holy of Holies. Our faith might be built on tradition, or doctrine, or it might be built on social assumptions, or cultural identity rather than on priestly sacrifice. Instead of words like temple and arks and golden urns and cherubim and Aaron's Rod for the symbols of our faith, we might use words like church buildings, styles of worship, hymnals, organs, church programs and choirs.
Our faith might not depend on the temple, but it might depend on certain interpretation of scripture. It might not depend on blood rituals being performed on the mercy seat, but it might depend on believing certain things about certain people. Our faith might not depend the ancient symbols of Judaism and early Christianity, but if we're honest, it might depend on more modern symbols that we have constructed for ourselves with human hands over the years.
And what happens to our belief system when these things are taken away from us? What happens to our faith when the cornerstone of our carefully constructed temple of faith is kicked out of place? What is left of our relationship with God, when those things that represent that relationship are no longer recognizable to us?
A few years ago, I read an interesting book by a former pastor named Rob Bell, a challenging book called "Love Wins." I say, 'former pastor' because after he wrote this book, he sort of needed to step away from being the pastor of his church. It turns out that when you question certain assumptions about faith, people get uneasy.
And Rob Bell questioned some pretty big assumptions. Assumptions especially about who, exactly was going to Hell. And why. And even, if, they were going to Hell. And when he began questioning these assumptions, his congregation didn't like it. They didn't like it one little bit. He was destroying their temple of faith. He was tearing down their Holiest of Holies. And they let him know it. And he had to leave.
Now, I don't agree with everything that Rob Bell said in his book, but, I absolutely agree with his desire to find a more generous Christianity. I don't claim to know the most intimate details of God's will, but I do know that He wants to save everybody, at least, that what it says in 1st Timothy, chapter 2.
And so the question for me is, and for Rob Bell is, does God always get what God wants? And if he does, how does that work, exactly? In the end, I would rather err on the side of God's mercy rather than of betting against him getting his way. I've decided, for me, to take that risk.
Over the last couple of years, we have seen some pretty challenging changes in our own denomination, changes that might seem to shake the very foundation of our faith. Changes in the way we think about relationships, changes about how we think about marriage, changes even in the way we think about ordination.
For some, these changes have been embraced. They represent the recognition of the dignity, gifts, and calling of all people to all areas of community and church life, regardless of gender or sexual identity.
For others, let's be honest, these changes are catastrophic, and they might as well represent the destruction of the temple itself.
But regardless of where we might stand on these changes, they have had a dramatic impact on our church and on our denomination. And while we may not have actually lost our second tent, while we may not have physically had our Holies of Holies taken from us, for many folks, there is still a deep sense of loss, there is still a sense of uncertainty about who we are, and what we believe, or even, how to believe.
And when we consider other changes that are facing the local church, our church right here and now, this sense of loss multiplies. If, for example, we consider changing the way we worship, or the way we structure our session, if we think about the use of projection equipment, the use of drums and guitars in worship, if we think about changing our order of worship, or our ministries, well, just the thought of all of these things cause an immediate and almost visceral negative reaction.
Let me be clear: there has been no discussion about any of these things that I just said! I was being deliberately, provocatively hypothetical to make a point.
But I hope you see my point. These things, our traditions, our symbols, our order of worship, our programs, our ministries, these things are the stuff of the temple, they are made by human hands. They may be good things. In fact, they are good things. They may be valid things. In fact, they are valid. They may be faithful representations of what we believe. In fact, they are faithful representations of what we believe.
But in the end, they are only a copy of what is really happening when we worship God in Jesus Christ.
And this is where the author of Hebrews wants to take us today: beyond tradition; beyond symbols; beyond worship styles; beyond doctrine; beyond articles of faith; beyond books of confession, beyond arguments about who goes to heaven and who goes to hell, or who gets married to who, or who gets to serve communion on Sunday morning.
Our relationship with God is based on one thing, and one thing only -- a fact so stubborn and dependable that the author says it five different times in his letter to the Hebrews -- that Jesus Christ, once and for all, has done everything, and by that he means literally everything that could possibly need to be done, in order for us to be welcomed into the presence of God.
There is nothing more that we need do. Nothing more that we can do. Nothing more that we have to do. And nothing more that can be done about it, for better, or for worse.
In Jesus Christ, we are, completely, endlessly, joyfully, welcomed into the family of God. And there's nothing that can be done by us, or for us, that can change that.
The world is changing around us. The church is changing around us. Articles of faith we once held so dear are no longer as binding. Ways of thinking about God have shifted.
But one thing has not changed, and never will. Once, and for all, Jesus has signaled God's willingness to do whatever it takes to bring all of us into his eternal temple, a sanctuary that can never be torn down, a feast that will never end, a love that will never die.
This is the one aspect of our faith that we can depend when everything else falls away -- our everlasting hope, our eternal promise, the foundation of everything we believe -- Jesus Christ had done it all, for everyone.
Now to the Holy One
who is at work within us,
accomplishing far more than we could ever ask or imagine,
now and forever. Amen.

Whispers of Big Wednesday winner
The mystery holder of Dannevirke's $14.1 million Lotto ticket should keep their head down to avoid small-town vultures, a local Lotto winner believes.
Whispers about the identity of the winner of the Big Wednesday jackpot have been circulating around the Tararua town, but the ticket-holder has been laying low.
The prize for the ticket sold at Blockbuster video store on High St had yet to be claimed on Friday night.
Woodville man Errol Ireland and his wife Jenny collected $100,000 on Lotto's winning wheel in February 2011, and were delighted to hear that another Tararua town was back in the spotlight.
More than two years on from their win, Mr Ireland said that if he had won the $14.1 million he would also be keeping it pretty quiet.
''Once people know you've won, we found you get these people ringing you. And ours was only $100,000.
''I'd recommend the winner gets some advice on what to do from Lotto, who are great, and just watch out for the vultures.
''They're the people you will least expect who come round and ask for a handout.''
The Ireland's bought a $60,000 campervan with the money.
''I just hope this winner is someone who needs it and that they get to do what they want to do with it.
''If they're broke in 10 years, who gives a shit,'' Mr Ireland said.
NZ Lotteries spokeswoman Emilia Mazur said small-town winners had to be extra careful who they told about their circumstances.
''We tell all our winners to decide who they're going to tell before they tell them.
''Once you have told someone you can't un-tell them.
''If you tell a few people in a small town, with the way they are, it's more likely everyone will find out.''
Ms Mazur said Lotto helped people from small towns set up a bank account so they did not have to go into the local teller.
They also gave advice about the things to spend it on.
''If you don't want people in a small town to find out, maybe don't buy anything flashy.
''We can't recommend people not to take the Lamborghini [which is part of the Big Wednesday prize] but have a bit of a think about whether that will draw attention to you.''
Not many big Lotto jackpot winners went public and it was particularly rare in small towns - with the exception of former Te Kauwhata man Trevor Cooper who toasted the media with his $26.5 million Powerball win in 2012.
The experience of ''seeing your face on the front page of the paper'' was something they would coach a winner through if they chose to go public, Ms Mazur said.

Geno Silva appears in two scenes in Mulholland
Drive. They are brief, but memorable. In his first scene, he plays Cookie, the manager of a
dilapidated hotel where Adam Kesher is staying after being thrown out of his house by his wife. Cookie warns Adam that his credit cards are maxed out, and that whoever
is looking for him knows where he is.
Wrapped in Plastic #57
Cookie/EmCee - same actor … but also same character?
The use of the same actor for two, unrelated, small parts should bolster the Diane's Dream theorists. Why? because IMO it re-inforces the idea that the whole dream sequence is indeed a creation, something put together slightly hurriedly, slightly hap-hazardly fom a limited cast of possible characters. IOW, there was no real hotel manager and/or Silencio MC. Diane is using the characters she knows to fill in all sorts of roles she imagines. - (Thespear)
When Cookie warns Adam in the hotel he addresses him with the phrases "mira, ese", and "oye, carnal" which are slang terms, and very LA/Mexican-American in their usage. Basically, "mira, ese" = "look, man", and "oye, carnal" = "listen, brother". The main thing that I get from this is that Cookie seems to be really trying to help Adam. He's trying to get through to him with this information, and is doing his best to warn him, as a friend. I don't know what this might mean in real life, but my theory about Cookie is that he might have been someone (the real-life manager of the Park Hotel? the manager of the Sierra Bonita Apts?) who was always genuinely nice to Diane, and really felt sorry for her, even though he knew that there was nothing he could do for her. This is consistent with his role at Silencio, in my opinion, because you could say that he was working there as someone who was helping to bring Diane back to reality. - (Aerial)
Cookie obviously knows Adam Kesher. Why does he know him? They're friends, and Cookie has a history with him. You can see that he's protecting him. But that guy is also in show business! He is the emcee of that club. What a comment on LA. No matter who you talk to, they are somehow connected to show business.
Cookie & Lamp Lady - a connection?
I think Cookie could represent Diane's neighbor who comes for her dishes. They both come knocking at the door telling their friends they are being sought by two males. Cookie tells Adam two guys were looking for him and that whoever he's hiding from, they know where he is. My theory for the "real scene": In apartment #16, the neighbor tells Diane two detectives came by again looking for her, making Diane think that sooner or later they're going to find out where she is. Both, Cookie and the neighbor seem to be of Hispanic decent: Cookie is throwing in some Spanish lines and Diane's neighbor is presumably going by the name of Gonzales or De Rosa. » See panel
The name of the guy who runs the Park Hotel is Cookie, and with a such nickname I think he is a coke provider, and more precisely Diane's provider. In the dream, she pretends that it is Rita who is addicted to coke. Rebekah could be a junkie too, as all the prostitutes who work in the Park Hotel for Cookie. That's his little business. - (gandalf36)
Trivia: Geno Silva on how he got involved with the project
I got a call from my agent, and he says, "Geno, David Lynch wants to see you for his new
film." I said, "Excellent. Is there a script?" "Uh, no." "Oh, well fax me the sides, okay?" Uh, there are no sides." And I said, "What am I doing? What am I going to play?" He said, "I don't know. That's the way David Lynch works." So I asked him what I needed to do. "Well, you're going to go meet Johanna Ray, and she's going to put you on tape." I said, "Doing what!?" "Well, he just likes to see people. He likes your
look; he wants to see you."
months go by, and my agent calls me: "Geno, remember that David Lynch
film?" "Yeah?" (I had assumed it had moved on.) "Well, he
wants you to do it." I said, "Do what!? (Laughter) I couldn't
believe it! He said, "Listen, I had some clients work on Fire Walk With
Me, and this is the way he does it. He works on the fly." I said,
"But is there a script?" He said, "Geno, do you want to work
with David? And I said, "Well it's kinda of hard to say 'yes' when you
don't know what you're going to do. Let me get a look at something." It
was Friday and I said, "When does this go?" And he said, "It
goes Monday." (Laughter) So he sends me over what, I guess, was supposed
to be sides. All it said was, "Mexican emcee introduces Rebekah Del
Rio." No dialogue. Nothing. I was really mad, and I threw it across the
room! I said, "I'm not going to do this. this is s---!" You get
really angry at stuff like that. You think you're being exploited, and you
think that somehow you're Tom Cruise or something!
Wrapped in Plastic #57
Trivia: Geno Silva on the shoot of his scenes
Geno had been asked only to do the role of EmCee. He shot the scene (it took about a day), then...
"I had finished the day about four in the afternoon. We were shooting downtown, and my wife owns a dance studio in Hollywood. So I drive over there on my way home and call my answering machine to check my messages. There are these three frantic messages: 'Geno! Oh my God! Call us back as soon as you can! This is Frank -- the AD on Mulholland Drive -- you've got to come back! You've got to come back!' They were, like, nuts! I called back and they said, 'Can you come back now!?' And I said, 'What happened? Did you guys burn the film?' He said, 'David wants to know if you want to play another part.' I said, 'When?' 'Right now. Can you come back to the set?' I said, 'He wants me to play another part, now, at the same set?'
I go back there and as I drive into the lot a hundred walkie-talkies go off: "Geno's here!" It was echoing across the block. It was so weird. I said (to the costumer), 'Look, before anything happens, I need to talk to David. Give me a walkie-talkie.' So I get David and I say, 'David, what am I doing?' He said, 'Ah, Geno, I'm so glad you got back. I have an idea. I think it will be some fun.' I said, 'Do you want me to change my look? Change my hair or shave, maybe?' He said, 'No, no. I want you to look exactly the same.' Then he said, 'What it's going to be - this is your day job. The other one's your night job.' (Laughter) I had no idea. I still have no idea! But I'm just loving this!"
David was so happy. He said, "That was great, Cookie." He kept calling me Cookie. What was funny to me was that nobody makes movies like this. That's like guerilla filmmaking, except the guy is one of the top directors in the world. That's what you would do if you were on college. But he can pull it off because of his incredible vision in true collaboration. That's what's fun about it.

A significant aspect of your life is actually making certain your household are usually looked right after. This would indeed be quite time consuming you, but right here you will not be assured to offer other discounts that could have been obtainable and will turn into a correct sort of policy the soul to your current state. Prior to getting a life insurance policy coverage, you ought to get in much better shape. Preserve in mind that there is a limit to how extended the policy will remain in force with the automatic premium loan.
This defeats the objective of purchasing the policy in the initial place to safeguard these you care about from financial hardship must you no longer be able to offer for them due to your death. To quit paying your policy and leaving yourself exposed to the the risks for which you bought your policy should never ever be regarded, if you actually understand the reason for buying it in the initial spot.
Calculate the correct quantity of life insurance coverage coverage coverage to suit your wants, and get only what you need. When you figure out to buy insurance coverage, it is vital to calculate the amount you may possibly need very carefully. If dividends are lowered in the future, the cash values will be smaller more than time. This will possess a large influence if you choose to cancel your policy due to the fact you happen to be unhappy.
As you verify out obtainable insurance coverage providers, it is very best to pick a prominent company using a very good reputation. I know if this was my kid I would hope any person who could would post this button on thier site – Lets find Lindsey! Getting an complete life or universal insurance coverage coverage policy may possibly be prohibitively pricey to numerous households. You could possibly pay less for a life insurance policy when you acquire greater than a minimal quantity.
Most households choose term a life insurance policy as it is cheaper, plus provides protection inside the occasion from the death on the insured. While this may possibly seem like some thing which does not need to have to be stated, you will uncover undoubtedly a lot of term life insurance brokers who will be arrogant, and believe they're so intelligent that they've known what is excellent for you.

Dakar, Senegal: Hungry for oil and minerals, India and China have become Africa's new colonialists, exploiting the world's poorest continent in the same way as its old European masters, said billionaire financier George Soros.
European nations' scramble for resources, from slaves to diamonds and gold, led them to subjugate Africa's people under colonialism. After independence swept the continent in the 1950s and the 1960s, they often supported corrupt and dictatorial regimes.
Transparency call: Billionaire financier George Soros.
Over the last decade, amid concern over minerals funding wars from Angola to Democratic Republic of Congo, Western governments and multinationals have largely accepted the need for accountability and transparency in extractive industries. But India and China, which are pumping billions of dollars of loans and investment into Africa, have not, Soros said. "There's a certain irony of the old colonialists recognizing their past mistakes and trying to correct them, and the new colonialists then repeating those mistakes," he said in the Senegalese capital.
Soros hoped that Chinese firms would toughen their criteria for investment, although he said Chinese demand for raw materials had brought benefits to the continent, underpinning its strongest growth in four decades. "It's the basis on which the economic outlook for Africa is somewhat exempt from the current global downturn," he said, assessing Africa outlook as "quite good".
"I don't expect a global recession. I expect a recession in the developed economies but there are some very positive dynamics for the developing world, particularly resource-rich areas," said Soros.
For those African countries not lucky enough to possess mineral wealth, the outlook was more sombre. Non-oil producing states were losing more in economic terms from record petroleum prices than they ever gained from Western debt relief, he said.
The financier, who set up the Open Society Institute and Soros Foundations, said ongoing post-election violence in Kenya, which has killed more than 1,000 people, was a reminder of the need to bolster African democratic institutions.
Soros, 77, called on Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga of Kenya to agree a power-sharing administration and move towards new elections, or risk dragging that country's once thriving economy into a spiral of decline.

Lena Park To Release New Album 'PARALLAX'
By Staff Writer | June 10, 2012 07:26 PM EDT
Lena Park (Park Jung Hyun) has made an announcement to release her eight studio album next week. Her new album teaser has been gaining much attention.
After 3 years, she is finally back with her 8th album, 'PARALLAX.' She posted her teaser on her twitter and official website on June 9.
Although the video is only about a minute, it shows Lena Park's natural state when working on a new album by expressing her opinions.

Day of Caring cleans up county
09/13/2013 - By Amber email@example.com - Cleburne Times Review
The ninth annual United Way of Johnson County Day of Caring is on Saturday morning in neighborhoods across the county.
Each year, hundreds of volunteers give through service by teaming up with volunteer organizations or donating time as individuals. Past projects have included planting gardens, cleaning up overgrown yards, painting and building projects, such as wheelchair ramps, for homebound residents.
At 8 a.m., volunteers will gather at the United Way parking lot, 210 Featherstone in Cleburne, for registration, breakfast and a rally. At 8:30 a.m., volunteers will disperse to the project site of their choice and work until noon. Volunteers younger than 18 are required to have a permission slip signed by a legal guardian.
"It's very important to the community to see that folks are willing to get out and give back to their communities," said Dianne Packwood, United Way executive director.
Various county organizations, churches, youth groups and students plan to help out with this year's activities, which include working in flower beds, landscaping, painting and helping Keep Cleburne Beautiful volunteers decorate the city for fall.
Residents with extra fall decorations are asked to donate them for city use at Cleburne City Hall, 10 N. Robinson St.
Packwood said most of the projects have been scheduled in Cleburne, and one is set up in Burleson. Those who need help with a project in other cities or who would like to volunteer are asked to call the United Way office at 817-645-9153.
Two new features to Day of Caring aim to give back to volunteers. The first is a free hot dog lunch at noon at the United Way building provided by employees with Newalta Environmental Services. Texas Health Resources will also have a mobile mammography bus on site from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. offering mammograms for uninsured women. Sign ups are required. To register or for more information, call 855-318-7696.

The uses for Calmoseptine Ointment are endless. From diaper rashes to pressures sores to burns, this multi-purpose moisture barrier will treat and heal just about any type of skin irritation. Calmoseptine Ointment will also protect the skin from: wound drainage, minor cuts and scrapes, fecal or vaginal fistulas, eczema, yeast infection, feeding tube site leakage, fecal or urinary incontinence, poison ivy and more.
Calmoseptine contains zinc oxide menthol, calamine, and lanolin. The ointment is very thick and stays in place, which is great as it's designed to temporarily relieve discomfort and itching. You only need a small amount to cover a large area. This cream can be used by anyone, including babies and elderly adults.
Calmoseptine Ointment is commonly used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, so you know it's a highly praised skin product. Get relief now!
Many people have raved about the effectiveness of this ointment and have even suggested that it works better than any other diaper rash cream they've used, such as A&D Ointment and Desitin Ointment.
Since the ointment is quite thick, it may stick onto clothing and can be hard to wash off the hands. It only takes a thin layer of Calmoseptine to be effective. Using too much at once can get messy.
Question will be displayed after moderation.

missaay Review
Very pleased with this comforter set!
After dealing with a duvet nightmare for the last couple years, I decided to get a simple comforter. No longer would I be plagued with shifting and bunching, no, I would have a nice comfy blanket that I don't need to adjust every morning. This comforter set is exactly what I was looking for. First of all, it's very comfy and soft. The ribbed fabric adds a touch of style and interest. The little throw pillow really makes the bed look sharp when it's made. The color is a little bit lighter than in the photo, more of a dusty lilac. I would have liked the purple to be a little richer to go with my peacock blue sheets, but it still looks good. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase!

Verified Review
Custom Touch was hired to install the equipment to charge a new Electric Car (No less than a 2013 Tesla Model S). The electrical panel was full, and we were facing a big charge to enlarge the service. But John Gary and his team solved the problem with custom manual transfer stitch where we use the A/C circuit to charge the car, They also said we could use a standard range plug type 15-40 and we did not have to spend $150 for the fancy-dan electric car plug. They did a great job, and the electrical inspector even said when signing off the permit it was a smart way to get the EV charger working without a big service upgrade fee. A. Smith CGC, Inc.

My experience with Custom Touch Electric was excellent. They showed up on time to bid on my project and showed up on time to complete the work on my project as agreed. The change out and movement of my service panel took 2 days as estimated with all the agreed requirements being completed. The building inspector showed up the next day and after two minutes signed off the work. I will be asking them to bid on future work.

With only 46 days until Notre Dame kicks off the season at home against Temple, we Irish fans are starting to get a little antsy. It's OK! As I've stated before, we all gotta do what we all gotta do to get through these final weeks- whatever that might be.
However… before you go and rob a bank, beat up a nun, poop on your neighbor's front porch, or whatever else you can think of to pass the time; why don't you sit down and meditate on these questions and give them an answer. Each one has to do with a "first" for the season; who does what, first?

Leadership Team
Having a passion for helping others realize their goals is the foundational element shared by all of our board members. K2 Adventures Foundation is fortunate to rely on the expertise they bring to the table as members of Fortune 500 companies, business owners, entrepreneurs, and non-profit leaders. It's the diversity of that acumen that allows us to do things that other organizations can't—and elevates the K2 Adventures Foundation to realize its own possibilities.
To book Kristen Sandquist for a speaking engagement or a special team-building event, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Kristen Sandquist
Throughout the years, Kristen has been involved with a variety of non-profit organizations, starting one when she was just 23 years old. But seeing the great poverty among those who were disabled in the U.S. and in third-world countries was so distressing that she felt compelled to do something about it.
Her vision was realized in March 2009, when she was asked to be one of the guides on mountaineer Kevin Cherilla's climb to lead eight blind individuals up Mt. Kilimanjaro. The group made the summit and broke four world records, but the trip was historic for another reason, as well—she and Kevin made the decision to co-found K2 Adventures Foundation.
For Kristen, the experience has proven to be life changing. "I've fallen in love with a little boy in Africa named Said," she says. "When I met him in 2009, I was told he only had a few years to live if his medical circumstances didn't change. Because of the medical care K2 has provided to his orphanage, he's still alive and his condition is monitored regularly. Without our help, he wouldn't be here today."
Today, Kristen organizes all the K2 applications and awards that are received and donated, and oversees the Foundation's annual fund-raising events. She also manages all board meetings and board member committees. Together, Kristen and Kevin run K2 Adventure Travel, which organizes trips to Africa, Peru, Argentina and Nepal.
Talks That Transform
Whether you're looking for something inspirational, educational or motivational, K2 Adventures Foundation CEO and Co-Founder Kristen Sandquist will deliver a presentation that's powerful and professional. Click here to learn more about Kristen's presentations.
Kevin Cherilla
Co-founder, President
Kevin has been an international mountaineer for over 20 years—conquering the summit of Mt. Everest in 2007 was one of his greatest personal accomplishments. His passion for climbing and helping others reach their personal goals has impacted the lives of participants at the various destinations he has climbed and includes individuals who are blind, paralyzed or have lost limbs. As co-founder of K2 Adventures Foundation, he and his partner Kristen Sandquist change lives one adventure at a time.
Their own adventure began when Kevin was the expedition leader for 25 individuals, eight of whom were blind, on a climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise awareness for those with disabilities. Kristen was one of the guides on this team. The team broke four world records, raised over $200,000 for the blind in Arizona and assisted a local orphanage that housed 24 blind, albino children in Tanzania. After this historic climb, the two joined forces to create K2 Adventures Foundation and K2 Adventure Travel. They've been helping others around the globe ever since.
Kevin says, "I enjoy the smiles on the faces of those we help both in the United States and around the world."
Today, Kevin helps organize all of K2 Adventures Foundation's annual fundraising events in the spring and fall, and helps manage all board meetings and board member committees. Together, Kevin and Kristen run K2 Adventure Travel, which organizes voluntourism trips to Africa, Peru, Argentina and Nepal.
