FNE Pilgrimage – 2012 – to Cornwall, Montreal, Ottawa and Kingston
Definition of a Pilgrimage- A journey to a sacred place
The vast majority of Pilgrimages offered throughout the world are aimed primarily to those who are retired or about to be retired or to young adults for large special events such as World Youth Day.
Are Pilgrimages even suitable for the younger crowd ages 8 to 15?
Would children's attention spans be adequate enough for them to actively participate in and benefit from a Pilgrimage?
Are children even interested in a Pilgrimage… are they interested in venturing into a series of unique churches and lastly are they even interested in our Catholic faith practices such as Holy Mass, Confession, Eucharistic Adoration and prayers such as the Rosary or the Chaplet of Divine Mercy?
For answers to these and other questions read on…. dear readers you may be surprised with the story as it unfolds below.
Commencing at 3.00 p.m. on Thursday August 9 through to 11.00 pm on Sunday August 12 we travelled better than 1,500 km with some 25 timber wolves, explorers, plus 3 leaders and one Priest commencing with Holy Mass at our home parish – Blessed Trinity in Toronto.
Father Matthias Kim celebrated the private Mass for our Pilgrims and a number of their parents… his message through his homily was clear… we could embark on this Pilgrimage either as a tourist and see many neat and beautiful things, take pictures, share stories and have good meals together OR we could go as a Pilgrim on our journey through life to one day meet the Lord in heaven at the end of our earthly journey.
We could go on this Pilgrimage to see what would happen or we could go on this Pilgrimage with a purpose, an intention, a reason, with a special request to present to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit… what would it be?
Father Mathias was very animated, dynamic, and passionate such that watching the boy's body language you could see the message sinking in as they pondered as to what they would offer up their Pilgrimage for.
Our timber wolves and explorers served Mass with great care and precision undertook the various readings with a clear voice and with meaning and sang songs in praise and adoration as they would for all of our Private Masses that we would participate in throughout the Pilgrimage.
We would dare say that from the very start of our Pilgrimage we could already sense and perhaps even feel the Holy Spirit at work, his work would become much more pronounced and recognizable as our time together grew.
The climax of the Mass as it always is … is to receive the Sacred Body and the Blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ happily and with reverence on our knees and on our tongue.
By 4.30 p.m. we commenced our travels by bidding the parents goodbye and heading off on the road to our first destination the Legionaries of Christ seminary in Cornwall. Rush hour traffic on highway 401 was not too bad… we stopped for dinner at a highway rest stop near Cornwall and arrived right on schedule at the seminary for 9.45 p.m.
After piling out of our vehicles our host and Pilgrimage guide was there to welcome and great us in the very person of Father Thomas Murphy LC who has worked with us for better than 3 years and who knew each and every timber wolf and explorer by name.
Once settled in with our baggage in the seminary gym on cots we gathered in one of the classrooms to have a closer look at the program for the Pilgrimage and to hold a detailed discussion building on the homily that afternoon… why are you here and do you have an intention or two to offer up during our Pilgrimage now underway.
By 11.45 pm we were all tucked into out beds with lights out with an early morning start as we had a busy day planned.
Friday August 10
6.20 a.m. arrived all too soon. As leaders we like to be able to encourage the boys to rise and shine… with little difficulty (for some of the older boys it was really hard to wake up) they got up out of bed and dragged their just waking selves off to the showers to get refreshed before getting back into their uniforms to prepare for the days program. By 7.00 a.m. we neatly entered the dining hall to eat a hearty breakfast after our grace before meals prayers
followed by cleaning away the dishes, wiping off the tables, pushing in the chairs and returning the various breakfast condiments before heading off to a classroom for our daily talk and question and answer period.
This morning's discussion focused around the effect of sin, even what is viewed to be a little sin and how one's personal sin can impact others directly or indirectly in so many ways. This was followed by jointly brainstorming areas where perhaps we may have fallen short, where we may have broken one or more of the 10 commandments (e.g. thy shall not kill is not just limited to the body but to a person's sense of self-worth) so that we can all better prepare ourselves for the Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Confession) that would be made available over the next couple of days to all of us participating in this Pilgrimage.
Before heading off we took a break to enjoy the games room… and boy what fun this was!
Our first step was to visit the shrine of Blessed Kateri at St. Francis of Xavier Church in a native Canadian town called Kahnawake a 90 minute drive from where we were staying along the great St. Lawrence River.
It was amazing to see this great river, a river that is the primary drainage conveyor of the Great Lakes Basin. The St. Lawrence River traverses the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario and forms part of the international boundary between Ontario and New York in the United States. The river runs 3,058 km (1,900 mi) from the farthest headwater to the mouth and 1,197 km (743.8 mi) from the outflow of Lake Ontario. This river was and is a major waterway for trade and exploration of the new world long before Canada became a country in 1867.
The weather forecast called for heavy rains for all of Friday – 40 to 60 mm of rain… yet for us…it was just overcast and a comfortable 23 degrees C – an unexpected and welcome start to our day!
This church St. Francis of Xavier Church was no ordinary church…. It housed the tomb of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha who will be declared a Saint by Pope Benedict 16th on November 2nd 2012 in Rome. We learned that little Tekakwitha's life was a happy one at first, living with her parents and baby brother with their Mohawk people. Then smallpox (brought from Europe by the early settlers) arrived in their village, and many people died of this sickness. Tekakwitha survived with many scars and ugly markings on her body and face but her family did not. As she grew up, she found hope and strength in the stories her mother had told her about Jesus the Great Spirit. When Tekakwitha was ready, she told the priest from France who was living in her village that she wanted to become a Catholic. Even though her people did not like her following the ways of the Europeans, she knew in her heart that God was calling her. On the day of her baptism, she received a new name: Kateri, which means Catherine.

When the people of her village rejected her, she went on a long journey to a Christian village where she could live her faith openly. The people there could see that she loved God very much, and felt that God was with her. She suffered much but never gave up on the teachings of our faith and following Jesus and to carry her cross well… a wonderful message for us Pilgrims to ponder and take to heart as we to strive to love and follow Jesus and to carry our own crosses well.
While at this beautiful church we took the time to sing the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and to pray in front of the tomb of Blessed (soon the first native North-American Saint) Kateri to ask for her intercession with the Lord as to the intentions of each timber wolf, explorer and leader on this Pilgrimage.

Father Thomas started to hear the first of a series of confessions where our boys can unburden themselves of their sins through the mercy and forgiveness and love of our Lord Jesus Christ himself.
Comments from our boys… Joshua… I learned about Kateri as to how she suffered by sacrificing herself for God… Misha… this experience and others amazed me that I now desire to pray more…
Next stop – Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal acclaimed by many as the most stunning and beautiful church in North-America! The main construction work took place between 1824 and 1829. The cornerstone was laid at Place d"Armes on September 1, 1824. The sanctuary was finished in 1830, and the first tower in 1841, the second in 1843. On its completion, the church was the largest in North America. On May 31, 2000 the provincial state funeral for former Montreal Canadiens superstar Maurice "Rocket" Richard was held in front of thousands, both inside and outside the Basilica. On October 3, 2000 Justin Trudeau gave his eulogy just steps from the High Altar during the state funeral of Pierre Trudeau, his father and Canada's 15th prime minister. It was also the setting of Celine Dion's December 17, 1994 wedding to René Angélil.
This visit would not be an ordinary visit…. We were truly blessed to be greeted by the Organist for Notre Dame Basilica himself – Pierre Grandmaison who took us on a private behind the scenes tour … and what a tour it would be!
The timber wolves, explorers, leaders and Father Thomas sat enthralled as Pierre explained the workings of the organ and the thousands of pipes measuring from 1/4 of an inch to 32 feet tall… he demonstrated the various ranges of notes and then played the organ for us with such grace and confidence. Installed in the chapel is a French classic organ with traditional mechanical action, built by the firm of Guilbault-Thérien of Sainte-Hyacinthe (1982).
The great organ that towers over the choir loft of the Basilica was built in 1891 by the firm of Casavant et Frères of Saint-Hyacinthe. Since then, the vast instrument has undergone several restorations. To mark its 100th anniversary, additional stops were installed, bringing the total number of pipes to 7,000.
In 2002 a second trompette en chamade (outward facing trumpet) stop was added. The organ today has 92 stops distributed over four keyboards and a pedalboard. The present console dates from 1962.
Lesson learned… it takes much perseverance and practice day after day, week after week to be truly successful.. the same applies to the practice of our faith, we need to persevere in embracing the sacraments, to pray daily, to trust in God… failure to do so will leave us open to potentially grave temptations and a loss of grace and over time perhaps even our faith itself.
Organ demonstration for FNE timber wolves and explorers:
Playing a famous musical item on the Organ by Bach
From there Pierre lead us on a private tour of the church to view up close and personal the main altar. The centre of the altarpiece, placed directly over the high altar, represents Calvary. Beneath the altar, the image of the Last Supper appears – a magnificent wood sculpture based on Leonardo da Vinci's famous mural – representing the institution of the Eucharist on the eve of Christ's suffering and death.
In the centre is the Tabernacle, flanked by bas-relief sculptures in wood showing angels and saints in adoration, according to the vision described in Chapter 7 of the Apocalypse (Revelation).
We then visited the Chapel of Notre-Dame du Sacré-Cœur that was totally restored After the disastrous fire in Notre-Dame du Sacré-Cœur Chapel on December 7, 1978, the board of the Fabrique, at the architects' suggestion, decided on a complete restoration of the chapel's first two levels. A team of carpenters, sculptors and woodworkers skilled in traditional methods was assembled to carry out the work. The vaulted ceiling, however, received a modern treatment, making full use of available natural light. The entire work is crafted in linden wood. The restored chapel was opened in 1982.
The altarpiece - The Quebec sculptor Charles Daudelin was commissioned to create the new altarpiece. This consists of 32 bronze panels, which were cast by Morris Singer Founders of London, England. The altarpiece is 5 metres wide and 8 metres high (16 feet by 26 feet) and weighs 20 tons.
The theme chosen by the artist shows the march of humankind toward God, represented in the form of the Holy Trinity: the Father symbolized by a shining sun, the Son by the head of Jesus and the Holy Spirit by an immense bird with extended wings. The three arches signify the difficult stages of life, the return of human beings to their Creator. The last arch represents the passage from this life to the next, illustrating at the same time the hope of eternal happiness.
Before leaving the Basilica we stopped off to visit the Jesus in the Tabernacle in a special glassed in area free from the many tourists and murmur to pray to the Lord to give thanks for this very special visit with him in his church. Quebecers certainly know how to construct such beautiful churches to honour our Lord and to call the people of the Lord together to pray and worship him – thank you God!
Comments from our timber wolves and explorers… from Andrew… going to Notre Dame was the best moment of this Pilgrimage, from Jin…Pierre played songs on the Organ and it was good, it is 15 to 20 years or training to master the Oragn – wow…
from Andy… Pierre told us that the organ has 7,000 tubes and smallest tube is ¼ of an inch and the biggest is 32 feet tall, … and from Joonho a timber wolf…
The pilgrimage changed me in many ways. My favorite part of this pilgrimage was when we visited Notre Dame … here there was beautiful frosted glasses, pictures of Jesus and his disciples on journeys to pilgrimages and holy trips. This church was beautiful. I think that it was the most amazing church that I have ever seen.
Many a boy commented about this particular visit and especially being with Pierre. At the end of the tour Pierre offered to do this again for us whenever we would return to Montreal in the future – thank you Pierre!
We stopped at a local park for our picnic style lunch (and YES the rain continued to hold off for us) and said Grace together:
Visit to St. Joseph Oratory was our next stop… and once again the rain largely held off… as we arrived the timber wolves and explorers remarked about the massive size of the structure and its beauty and scale!
In 1904, Saint André Bessette, C.S.C., began the construction of St. Joseph, a small chapel on the slopes of Mont Royal near Notre Dame College. Soon the growing number of visitors made it too small. Even though it was enlarged, a larger church was needed and in 1917 one was completed and has a seating capacity of 1,000. In 1924, the construction of the basilica of Saint Joseph's Oratory was inaugurated; it was finally completed in 1967.
The basilica is dedicated to Saint Joseph, to whom Brother André credited all his reported miracles. These were mostly related to some kind of healing power, and many pilgrims (handicapped, blind, ill, etc.) poured into his Basilica, including numerous Protestants. On display in the basilica is a wall covered with thousands of crutches from those who came to the basilica and were allegedly healed. Pope John Paul II deemed the miracles to be authentic and beatified Brother André in 1982. In October 2010 Pope Benedict XVI canonized the saint.
A reliquary in the church museum contains Brother André's heart, which he requested as a protection for the basilica. More than 2 million visitors and pilgrims visit the Oratory every year.
Upon arrival we quickly gathered at the base of the stairs and commenced our way up on our knees (called the stairs of pain by our boys)… the wooden covered steps were still wet with rain that largely fell prior to our arrival… so we elected to go up the "dry" concrete steps that added to the challenge … as one of the Explorers Mingu put it… This Pilgrimage was very special and different from other Pilgrimages for many different reasons… for example this year we prayed on the concrete stairs while it was lightly raining so it was harder to pray…from another boy… I really liked going up the steps so that we could share a little in the pain that Jesus went through for us.
We got ¾ of the way up the steps when we had to stop to be on time for our private Mass in one of the side chapels. And what a special mass it was… one of the guides that was present was so impressed with our timber wolves and explorers that she returned to the chapel with a gift… a photo of St. Joseph for each member of our Pilgrimage group and also asked when we would be returning… the next time she said we would be welcome with advance arrangements to have Father celebrate or co-celebrate one of the public masses and to have a couple of our boys undertake the readings while others would serve as altar servers… this was a very kind and exciting offer.
After Holy Mass we ventured into the Oratory itself to light candles for our Pilgrimage Intention and/or for others or for special intentions such as the addition of leaders into our FNE movement both for our boys and girls side of the program.
We stopped off at the main altar tabernacle to pray and sing to the Lord and to give thanks for the many graces and gifts that the Lord has given us – and to chant from the bottom of our hearts… I love You Jesus!
Further comments from our timber wolves and explorers…Jordan a timber wolf… I really like the big church with the huge dome… it was awesome! This is my first pilgrimage and I really liked it a lot! From Justin a timber wolf… I liked it when we went to St. Joseph Oratory and when we lit candles there…and from Jin an explorer…I liked St. Joseph Oratory it was beautiful and I liked the Mass there because I know more about God and I liked Fathers blessing and I prayed for my family and from Michael another timber wolf who writes…
I liked St. Joseph because we had a private Mass and we got to see the tomb of St Brother Andrew and we got to light candles, this changed me because on the stairs of pain we suffered for Jesus while we were praying. And finally from one last timber wolf… The thing that moved me was the stairs of pain cause I felt a bit of Jesus's pain which made ne happy to suffer some of Jesus's pain. There are many comments from the others who participated along the same lines as quoted above.
We ended up the day by returning to Cornwall for a swim in the local area pool before returning to the seminary at 9.00 pm for dinner, reflections, prayers and off to bed.
It was an awesome first day and a very busy one at that! Thank you Lord for the many blessings bestowed upon us this day.
Saturday August 11 2012
6.20 am arrived all too early as we dragged our tired bodies off into the showers, dress into our uniforms and be in the dining hall for a 7.00 am breakfast! This was followed with our morning talk and a little play time before heading off to our first destination of the day – St. Stanislaus Church in downtown Montreal for our private Mass.
This was a very beautiful and old church that we had to ourselves for our morning private Mass in the side chapel. Our timber wolves and explorers came alive by singing beautiful songs:
Throughout our private mass each one was viewed by the timber wolves and explorers to be very special -
and from Roy an Explorer… I really enjoyed private Mass and adoration. Thank you for providing this great opportunity to get close to God. From Daniel an Explorer… my special moment of this pilgrimage to me was the private Masses we had at different churches because I have done my first reading and also because we as a group having Mass is very special to me. We conclude all Masses by thanking the Lord in song -
Before departing the church we made a visit to the main altar to pray in front of the tabernacle to give thanks and to continue to ask the Lord for his Love, Graces and Protection while asking for the strength to do his will in our lives in the months and years yet to come.
We then departed for the Bio Dome in Montreal first to have lunch….and then to see nature up close and personal. We would not be disappointed as we could see and experience the beauty of many of the Lord's creatures and plants.
As we exited the Biodome there was a simulation of being in a rain forest and going through a mid day thunderstorm... here are some of the boys reaction to said storms... boy what fun they had!
After such a successful and exciting visit we headed off to the beautiful Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament to participate in Eucharistic Adoration… when we got there unfortunately the main church was closed so we entered a smaller side chapel to adore the Lord.
Our timber wolves and explorers truly appreciate and love being in front of Jesus through adoration… it continues to amaze us how our boys on their own without prompting or encouragement from any of the leaders have this strong desire to go to confession… Father Thomas was very busy for the entire 90 minutes that we were there… as one of our Explorers explains it in his own words… My special moment during this pilgrimage was the adoration after confession. At the moment just before confession, I felt guiltier than ever before and felt a deeper passion to do better. After confession, I felt lighter; as if I knew I could sin lessand left stronger in my faith with Jesus. Although I wasn't as attentive as I should have been during the pilgrimage I definitely left different during this experience.
From Michael an Explorer – the Pilgrimage was great but one event that touched me the most was when we had adoration… we prayed with a great deal of passion. From Roy an Explorer – I really enjoyed Eucharistic Adoration!
As one of our leaders left the chapel to help stream the boys to confession a lady exited the chapel and asked to speak to him… she said… Your boys are such holy boys, know this that I will pray for them and your movement every day for the rest of my life! Wow – what a beautiful gift!
While we were in Adoration the skies open, the wind blew, the rain bounced off the windows of the chapel… the boys did not notice… and just as we exited the chapel to walk back to our vehicles… the rain slowed to a light soft rain and had largely stopped by the time we reached our cars.
We now headed back to the seminary in Cornwall arriving at 8.00 pm for dinner, then written testimonies that we have used throughout this story and then watching the movie the Incredibles before falling into bed for a well-deserved night's sleep.
Sunday August 12
Guess what… 6.20 am rolled around all too soon as we dragged our tires selves off to the showers, into uniform and in for a hot breakfast for 7.15 am! We ate to our hearts content sausages and eggs and fruit before holding our final morning discussion on the day's gospel from John 6:41-51
The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said,
"I am the bread that came down from heaven,"
and they said,
"Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph?
Do we not know his father and mother?
Then how can he say,
'I have come down from heaven?'"
Jesus answered and said to them,
"Stop murmuring among yourselves.
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him,
and I will raise him on the last day.
It is written in the prophets:
They shall all be taught by God.
Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.
Not that anyone has seen the Father
except the one who is from God;
he has seen the Father.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
whoever believes has eternal life.
I am the bread of life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven
so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
This was a beautiful Gospel well suited for a major theme of our Pilgrimage… to better understand and appreciate the true meaning of the Blessed Sacrament – the Eucharist – Jesus truly present in his living body and blood.
Father Thomas read this Gospel to our timber wolves and explorers before holding a solid discussion as to the true meaning of the Eucharist and how this truth is hard to take and how this truth keeps many away from the Catholic faith and how this truth is the center of our faith as without this Sacrament and that of Confession / Reconciliation our Catholic faith would be seriously compromised.
By 8.30 am we bid good bye to Father Thomas as we headed off to the City of Ottawa for the last phase of our Pilgrimage.
We arrived in plenty of time to attend the 11.00 am Sunday Mass at St. Patrick's Basilica in Ottawa.
It is here that we were once again warmly welcomed and enjoyed Mass including the traditional use of the communion railing to receive Holy Communion on our knees and tongue - this made us all very happy!
It is from this parish that we hope to start up our first FNE Explorer group in Ottawa. While there a remarkable number of families approached us to enquire how their son or daughter might be able to join our FNE Explorer program. While also there our new FNE leader and one of our other leaders was approached by the spouse of a local MP who offered to assist us in any reasonable way possible to successfully start up our new FNE group. We really felt the Holy Spirit at work…
After Mass we enjoyed lunch in the church basement before departing off to Kanata to enjoy a swim in their wave pool. We had an awesome time.
Soon we were on our way to Kingston to attend the Adoration chapel at St. Mary's of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral… during our one hour visit to Jesus in the St. James Chapel one of the other worshipers approached us to express her happiness to see our timber wolves and explorers love Jesus the way that they do that she wants to make homemade rosaries and scapula's for each and every member of our movement in Canada… amazing and how kind and what a gift!
After our very special time with the Lord we stopped off for dinner at a fast food restaurant before arriving back in Toronto at 10.50 pm tired but very happy.
So how has this Pilgrimage helped our timber wolves and explorers…
From an Explorer Mingu… So when I go home, I will try to pray, go to Mass and Confession more often.
From Joshua a Timber Wolf… I learned about all kinds of sin and trying not to do them, I went to confession and I really liked being blessed by Father Thomas.
From Yoonho a Timber Wolf– I think that I can change from this Pilgrimage by going to Mass more often and to live in my faith.
From Daniel …This Pilgrimage has changed me to be more courage's and continue to pray more daily because Jesus has borne much more than just praying.
From Andrew an Explorer – I learned more about my faith and God!
From Joshua a Timber Wolf – I will change myself by praying more

Each retreat begins with an afternoon check-in, followed by dinner at 6:00 and an evening small group discussion. The daily schedule begins with either a full breakfast, or a light breakfast with a brunch at 10:30. There is a mid-morning small group discussion each day.
Afternoons are free for couples to spend at their leisure, either on site or in the surrounding community. Dinner is at 6:00, followed by an evening gathering. The last day of the retreat ends at noon after a full breakfast and a closing session.
Couples' Retreats
The Couples' Retreat is a three-day getaway for anyone desiring to invest in their marriage.
Our beautiful facilities, immaculate housekeeping, and gourmet meals will envelop you in luxury. What better location to escape from the demands of life to rest, reflect, and be refreshed together as a couple!
Couples' Retreats at The Lodge are designed to strengthen your marriage. Whether you seek simple refreshment or restoration, the time you spend together will pay rich dividends of love, loyalty, and closeness. Our marriage retreats are a sound investment in your future.

Ed & Gayle Villalba
As Director of Pastoral Care, Ed serves as "the pastors' pastor" during our retreats. When Ed was seventeen, God confirmed his call to full-time ministry, and he spent almost 47 years in various ministries before coming to The Lodge in 2007 with his wife, Gayle. While having an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the Calvary Christian College and Seminary of Kalamazoo, MI, Ed's background of pastoral and counseling service helps him relate to pastors' needs.
Wilson & Laura Green
Having obtained two undergraduate degrees and a Master's from Liberty University, Wilson pastored for 21 years in Virginia and Illinois. In 1999 God led him and his family to Life Action, where he served as Summit Ministries Director for four years before traveling on the road as a Family Revival Seminar Instructor.
He and his wife, Laura, have three children: Ryan, Alicia, and Justin.
LeRoy & Kimberly Wagner
LeRoy and Kimberly Wagner are committed to helping the body of Christ understand how to connect the truth of Scripture to daily life. You may have heard them on the Focus on the Family radio program.
Several years ago, the Wagners reached a desperate place in their marriage, and in their book, Men Who Love Fierce Women: The Power of Servant Leadership in Your Marriage, they share how God is able to bring a glorious transformation to the most hopeless situations. Kim enjoys connecting with women, and encouraging them to be students of the Word, through her (almost) daily blog.
Steve & Monique Rogier
Steve & Monique have been married for nearly 32 years. They met in college in Virginia. The Lord has allowed them to serve at Community Bible Church in Swansea, Illinois since June of 1993. Steve serves as the Lead Pastor, and Monique as the Women's Ministry Coordinator.
God has blessed them with three children, Betsy (married to Darren), David (married to Madelyn), and Jacob (engaged to be married to Richelle). They regularly give thanks that their "people" (all 6) love the Lord, and are faithfully serving Him.
This year, the teaching focus in Community Bible Church's various ministries (pulpit, men's, women's and Family Discipleship) is "Delighting in the Fear of The Lord."
They have greatly enjoyed retreating at The Lodge, since first being introduced to Life Action and Revive Our Hearts in 2011. Their prayer is that God will use them to encourage other servants who come to The Lodge to be refreshed in the Lord.
Randy & Carlene Huckabee
Randy is the Lead Pastor of FBC Dade City, Florida and a graduate of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity. He received his ThD in 1996 from International Theological Seminary in Plymouth, Florida. Randy has served the past 30 years as a senior pastor in NC, GA and Florida.
Carlene is currently teaching Accelerated Reading in a middle school. She has also served as the Director of discipling for 16 years for the Life Counseling Center, and was the Director of discipling and woman's ministries at a prior church. She continues to disciple as her schedule allows and is certified by The Exchange Life Ministries.
Carlene and Randy have been married for 39 years and are originally from NC. They have two married children, Aaron and Abigail, and love spending time with their five grandchildren. Carlene has been involved in music ministry as well as enjoying calligraphy. Randy has been a nuisance alligator trapper for the past 16 years and enjoys all aspects of the outdoors.

Southwestern Historical Quarterly
What was said and what was done, at Washington on the Brazos
on the 2nd of March, 1836, need no defense. The pledge made, on
that day, was redeemed fifty-one days later, on the field of San
Jacinto. And when I look over this imperial State, and see the won-
ders, that have been wrought, in the ninety-one years that have
followed; when I see an earnest citizenship of nearly six million
intelligent and patriotic men and women, striving to 'make the
wilderness blossom as the rose'; when I look upon the fields and
see the laughing grain and cotton, greater than the whole earth can
consume; when I see great systems of transportation; thousands of
miles of free public highways; the smoke of vast industries; and
great marts of trade, filled with busy throngs; when I see populous
cities, richer and more numerous than the fabled seven golden cities
that tempted the daring Coronado across the plains of Texas and
far into the sands of Arizona; when I see splendid universities;
scientific institutions; and benevolent foundations, endowed by pub-
lic grants and by universal private gifts; when I see the thousands
of free schools on every hilltop and in every valley; when I see the
smiling faces of more than a million happy children; I can explain,
as did the prophet of old, verily the children of the fathers and
mothers of thirty-six have answered the challenge, they have kept
the faith.

"Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the yard on a cold night, she can still survive."
"Being outdoors in the spring is an enjoyable way to spend time learning about nature. At this time of year, it is common to find young rabbits, birds, raccoons, fawn deer or other wildlife that may appear to be abandoned. Rest assured that in most cases, the young animal probably was not abandoned and the best thing to do is not disturb it."
"Last year our outdoor team was the state runner up. I said at the end of last season, that this year we were going to be looking to win it. If everything goes right, we should be in the mix to win it."
"We lost outdoor by a point last year, but scored more points than we were supposed to. The team performed very, very well. It just wasn't enough."
"For outdoors I just want to try and have fun. I want to enjoy my senior year, have fun and run as fast as I can."
"We are a state of outdoor enthusiasts, and we're proud of that, ... I don't care what part of the outdoors you enjoy, we have it all in this state."

This Heart
Summary – Right from the start, Bella Cullen knew that her brand new life as a vampire would not be easy. Her friends are in danger: But from what? They know they are being watched but something is rendering Alice and Edward useless. Then the Volturi begins to get stronger. The power seems to be on their side but with the help of some unlikely characters and long lost friends, the Cullens seem to have a fighting chance in the ultimate war. Or do they?
A/N – I know it's been forever. Forgive me?
Disclaimer – I don't own Twilight.
6. Embers (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)
In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.
Running can feel like freedom. There is wind in your hair, dirt under your feet, and the goal you wish to reach is right in front of you. All you need to do is push it. Forget that you can hardly breathe. Forget that something if chasing you. Forget all of your pain, your worries, your heart ache.
Running can also mean something completely different. Running can feel like terror. When you are running headfirst into a war, you feel the utmost terror.
Do you want to know why dying is so damn scary? It's scary because it is ordinary. It can happen at any time. It happens all the time.
Ask yourself: When will it happen to me?
I wish I had been braver. I wish that, many years ago – when there was an itching feeling under my skin that this was not normal – I wish I would have spit in Aro's eye and run.
I wish I would have run so fast that my feet barely touched that ground. I wish I would have swum to America and meet Edward and simply lived. Everyone always tells you to live like you are dying. It's a nice policy to live by, I suppose, until you are actually on the verge of dying. Then all you can do is wait for the war to begin.
Did you know that when swans fight they lower their neck, hiss and charge forward? When a swan wins the fight they trumpet in success.
I hope I win. I might even trumpet.
It was too silent in the forest. Typically you would expect there to be sounds. There should be crickets chirping, frogs croaking and other animals twittering about. Instead they stay silent and lay low. They know a fight is coming. They can feel the tension in the air.
"When?" Emmett demanded like an impatient child waiting to receive desert.
"I…" Alice flickered through vision after vision. "I don't know, he disappeared again!"
James drops down behind Bella, a smile on his face. He came alone, the foolish man. The Cullens whirled around to face him. Edward's face screwed up in confusion. Jasper looked worried, Alice was furious. "Why can't I see you?" She screeched.
"Am I making you… uncomfortable?" His voice was smooth and venomous. He sighed. "So naïve. So helpless."
Emmett moved forward but Carlisle held up a hand. "Why are you alone?" He asked.
"Perhaps I am alone at the moment." He looked thoughtful.
"Enough talking. Lets rip him to shreds." Emmett snarled.
James laughed. "You are quite the amusing family to watch. You should think about investing in curtains. I know a great place in Seattle, Esme, if you would like the address."
A chill ran down my spine. "I was right. You are watching us."
Out of nowhere they leaped on us. I moved to avoid being landed on by a slim 20-something vampire with long black hair. I summoned the power within me and pushed her away with my mind. I desperately searched for Edward in the clearing, but the woman returned. I grabbed her arm and swung her into the nearby tree with such force that the tree splintered apart and fell.
I ripped her head off without half a thought.
I straightened and was about to turn when she heard a hiss in her ear. "Do you really think you are the only one?" James hissed. I whirled around and shoved him away.
"Only what?" I demanded.
He smiled and turned to run, only to be stopped by the enormous figure of Emmett.
I turned to find Edward's figure again. Just as suddenly as the ambush began, the ambush was done. Thankfully my family was intact. And Emmett had killed James, and he was ever gleeful of that fact.
We kicked the body parts into a large pile. "Bella, if you would like to do the honor of burning them." Carlisle gestured to the pile and hugged Esme out of happiness that she was alive and well.
I focused and ignited the pile. Within seconds it was ablaze. We watched it burn, clutching to our mates with dear life. Alice and Jasper simply held one another. Rosalie fussed over Emmett – "Don't you dare leave my side in a fight ever again." She hissed. Esme smiled up at Carlisle as he brushed her hair behind her ear. Edward slid his thumb across my lower lip.
"Are you okay?" He murmured.
"Did you hear what James said to me?" I asked him.
He raised an eyebrow. "Yes. 'Do you really think you are the only one?'" Edward repeated the sentence perfectly. "I assume he means that they know of there being other Wild Powers."
"He knows?" My brain reeled with a thousand questions. "He is in cahoots with the Volturi!"
"I know." Edward grimaced.
We watched the bodies smolder in front of us. We can never escape the flames. When become a vampire, you burn with pain. While you live a vampire life, you fight the flames in your throat. When you die as a vampire, you burn until you are nothing more than a pile of ash waiting to be scattered in the wind and rain.
The embers slowly simmered out.
"Seattle is in turmoil. This is the highest suicide rate ever seen in this city. Police suspect gang members may be involved for the rate is much too high to be caused by one serial killer. In other news, a young teenager named Bree Tanner has gone missing. Police ask anyone who may have seen her to come forward immediately."
Edward shut the TV off when the newscast was replaced with commercials. The living room was silent.
Jasper looked at his wrist as though he was checking the time. "I fear they are creating an army." He said.
I turned my head in his direction. "An army?"
"Of newborns." Jasper specified.
In a short time my head was spinning with information. I learned about the wars of the South, I learned of Jasper and I understood why he made this assumption.
"And Victoria is creating this army? In Seattle?" I asked in disbelief. Why so close to where we are.
"I think she is merely gaining recruits." Jasper clasped his hands in front of him. "Something tells me that they are here for a specific reason. Perhaps a power is here? Something Aro would find useful."
"Wild Powers." I whispered.
"James…" I explained what James said to me. "Either the Volturi has a Wild Power or they know where they are."
"There is more than one?" Emmett looked confused.
"There were four of them last time… Why not there be four now?" I said. "If they have a Wild Power, then why can't we? Let's find them… Somehow! Aro obviously has a way to find them, we can too!"
"Don't you see? Eleazer is how Aro is locating them." Jasper frowned.
I took a deep breath. I guess it all is over at this point. We have no hope left. Once Aro has a Wild Power, he has four powers in one person! And he has a way to find them. If there really is four of them, then he would have three. That's 12 extreme powers!
And what do we have? Me… But what good am I? I could shield them, start some fires and maybe convince Aro to make our deaths less painful.
We are screwed.
Looking around I could tell that they were all thinking the same things. They all had a look on their face that said no hope. I stared at my feet before looking up and examining my family. Mi Familia. La Mia Famiglia. Ma Famille. Ku'u Ohana. And that was about the extent of my language skills.
I had just become one of them, I had just finally belonged here. Now we will all die.
My Husband… A word I had not quite gotten used to saying. Edward. My love. He will die. I will die too. But will it be so bad? At least I won't have to live without him.
Or will I?
Fear raced into my head. What if they kill everyone but me? I am the one Aro wants. He won't kill me. Surely he won't. He will keep me and brainwash me and use me to his advantage. And my love, my dearest treasure that I keep so close to my unbeating heart… he would die. My family would die…
I will have to live without all my loved ones.
And then there is Jacob. Jake… my best friend. He is supposed to become a father and raise a child. There is no way I could possibly convince him to stay out of the massacre for his family's sake. He would die… Kim and Emily, Nadia and an unborn child… they would all lose their loved ones.
Quite simply it was all because of me.
I sat on the porch outside with Edward. Edward hummed a tune… I recognized it of course, being that it was my lullaby. I would miss his voice. I would miss all of this… even the rain.
Edward sat up. "Someone is approaching." He hissed.
I attuned my senses and heard it too… light footsteps, similar to those of Alice. A young woman walked through the trees and stared at us with familiarity – as if she had known us forever. She was dark skinned and very, very tall… only a few inches shorter than Jacob, if I had to guess. She had short and poofy black hair and large gold hoop earrings. Her clothes were immaculate and she wore no shoes.
Here's the real kicker – her eyes, narrowed in disdain, were bright golden. Another vampire like us.
Edward relaxed beside me. "She is no threat."
"You are the one they call Isabella?" She asked with a heavy accent. It reminded me of Zafrina.
"Yeah?" I said curiously. "Who are you?"
"Names are not important. But you may call me Zykrie." She sighed. "I am here because I am like you. A Wild Power."
My heart stopped – a figure of speech, of course. It couldn't be! Wild Powers don't just walk up to your front door and say 'Hey! I could be the difference between death and life! Nice to meet ya!'
"You have been alive for much longer than Bella." Edward stated suddenly. "Why?"
"My Mother died in birth. She predicted I would be of much power, so I became of much power." She looked around. "I cannot stay too long."
"You will help us! You will come back and fight, right?" I was practically begging her.
"You have a great destiny, Isabella." She said cryptically. "We are all intertwined and connected, but you are the one who will change everyone's path. Isabella… You will know what you need to do. I must leave."
"Wait! How can I reach you – what if I need your help?" My mind was swimming with possibilities.
We are all connected. Speak with me freely. She nodded and I realized that it was not me who thought that… it was Zykrie.
We can talk to each other? I asked her, trying to imagine the message sending to her though the air.
She nodded and disappeared.
Perhaps we have a fighting chance after all.
I am sorry to all fans who have been waiting and waiting for this! Please don't hurt me!

EPA continues search for bird poison culprit
The Environment Protection Authority continues to seek help from the Bingara community, to track down those responsible for poisoning around 50 birds.
Half a dozen people from the community helped EPA officers conduct a street sweep of the town on Tuesday, in a bid to determine if there's an ongoing issue.
Dead birds recently located around the Bingara showground tested positive for the pesticide Fenthion, as did bread located nearby.
The EPA is hopeful it's seen the end of the poisoning, but Armidale Manager Simon Smith says they're yet to find out who is responsible.
"I guess if there is any good news, we didn't find anything else," he said.
"We did find evidence of a few more dead birds which is suggesting that the numbers are up around the 50-odd that we know of and a few more different species, there was a blue wren that had died recently as well.
"Hopefully this has put an end to it and there's nothing more left in the environment that will cause any more birds to die."
The EPA says catching the people responsible for the poisoning will be difficult without help from the community.
"In this case we're still out there asking questions, we're asking for people if they know anything more to give us a call," Mr Smith said.
"We'd like to find out who the person was, we'd like to talk to them and see if there is any explanation for why, was it a brain snap that they thought it was a good idea at the time and hopefully have thought differently about, or is it something that they're doing continually."

EXTRA free important EVENT
Saturday October 29 6:30
"Equal Means Equal"
About the Equal Rights Amendment or the ERA and the status of women in the US. Opening remarks by NC4ERA chair Marena Groll
the Skylight Gallery, 102 W. King Street, Saturday October 29, over Antonia's Restaurant for information and to reserve a seat call 919-644-8637.
"Every constitution written since the end of World War II includes a provision that men and women are citizens of equal stature. Ours does not."Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Details: Starting at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday October 29 at Hillsborough's downtown Skylight Gallery, 102 W. King Street, Marena Groll will briefly introduce the revived state and national movement to enact the Equal Rights Amendment, and will answer questions, before the showing of a new 1.5 hour documentary titled "Equal Means Equal."
The film, produced by Academy Award winner Patricia Arquette and directed by Kamala Lopez, is an intense exploration of the status of women in America, exploring the pay gap, pregnancy discrimination, female poverty, reproductive health care, and sexual assault. Marena Groll is chair of NCERA, http:// http://www.nc4era.org, and Co-Chair of ERA-NC Alliance, http://www.era-nc.org, involved in state and national efforts to pass the ERA. In 2015, ERA bills were introduced in both NC chambers by Sen. Floyd McKissick and Rep. Carla Cunningham.
Despite past decades of effort, the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution failed in 1982, after being ratified in 35 states but falling short of the needed 38 states before a government-imposed deadline. North Carolina was one of the states that did not ratify the ERA. New efforts are underway to ratify the amendment which reads, "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."
Submitted by Jennifer Miller, Hillsborough Artists Cooperative/Skylight Gallery, 102 W. King Street, Hillsborough NC 27278, 919-644-8637, email: email@example.com

Chloe Strauss: In Sight
Friday, February 28, 2014
Chloe is a student at Cedar Ridge High School and filled the gallery with art lovers young and old.
Here are some words about her latest art:
Taken from a love of Cinema and interest in the human condition, Strauss' collection features quick glimpses into other lives and other worlds. Intense expression and color make you wonder about those living within the pieces.
Relatable though slightly surreal, In Sight explores what could be.
Acrylics, chalk pastels, markers, oil pastel, and greenware will be on display.

Age: 7 Months on arrival
Colour: Black
Sex: Male
Arrived: 5 Jan 2017
These two young cats were saved from being put to sleep. They had lived all their short lives outside but were rescued on 5th January and have lived inside since then. In the beginning they were very timid and cuddled together all the time. Over the past few weeks they have made dramatic improvements although they are still very scared of strangers and need an experienced cat owner to bring out the best in them They have become part of my household being more independent of each other and mixing well with other cats in the house as well as a dog. They are very playful now as young cats should be but still timid of people they do not know. They are not used to children, they could be homed together or as a companion for another cat. They are approx seven month old (Jan 2017) Merlin has a white patch under his chin Magic is all black. They are neutered vaccinated and micro chipped flea'd and wormed. They have lived as house cats since their arrival and love the comfort they have. They deserve to have the chance of a forever home. These cats are now in our cattery at South Cave for viewing

Healthy Ageing Campus Netherlands | R&D Hotel
Monday 7 September 2015Print this page
Diagnoptics is nominated for the Deloitte Technology Fast50 Award 2015. With this nomination Diagnoptics proved to be able to show substantial growth for multiple years. The Deloitte Technology Fast50 is a yearly election of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the Netherlands.
"Our strategy and continuous growth led to the nomination for the Deloitte Technology Fast50. This is an acknowledgement of our activities in the last few years and proves that our strategy has been successful." said Bart van den Berg, CEO of Diagnoptics.
About Deloitte Technology Fast50
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is a programme that recognizes and profiles fast growing technology companies in the Netherlands. The programme ranks the 50 fastest growing public or private technology companies. Technology Fast 50 award winners for 2015 are determined based on the revenue growth over four years (2011 to 2014).
About Diagnoptics
Established in 2003, Diagnoptics is the pioneer and inventor of cutting edge diagnostic devices that can non-invasively diagnose and assess the risk of diabetes and its complications. Its technological advance in detecting fluorescence of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) has led to the invention of the AGE Reader - a state of art diagnostic device that can determine the tissue accumulation of AGEs in 12 seconds. Since the CE certification on the first AGE Reader in 2006, Diagnoptics has been marketing this medical device to thousands of clinics around the world. Currently the company is working on obtaining additional regulatory approvals in other regions and is engaged in new product development activities. The head office of Diagnoptics Technologies BV is in Groningen, the Netherlands.
About AGE Reader
The AGE Reader provides an immediate cardiovascular risk prediction for major chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and renal failure. The AGE Reader yields a real time and non-invasive assessment of cardiovascular risk in 12 seconds. The method is convenient, easy to use and validated. The AGE Reader measures tissue accumulation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) by means of fluorescence techniques (skin autofluorescence). AGEs play a key role in the pathogenesis of many age-related diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and renal failure. Since the market introduction in 2006, the AGE Reader has been clinical validated extensively in over 140 peer reviewed scientific publications.
AGEs are essential biomarkers of metabolic and glycemic stress and have been implicated as causative factors in the progression of a host of age-related diseases, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, renal failure and Alzheimer. The level of AGEs in tissue reflects the glycometabolic memory and is a valuable predictor of (pre)diabetes and cardiovascular complications.

No role yet for top bureaucrat
The costly reappointment of the Tasmanian Premier's former Chief of Staff has dominated a Parliamentary hearing into the Education Department's budget.
Mark Sayer suddenly left the top advisory role earlier this month and returned to the Education Department on May 18.
The Premier, Lara Giddings, said she needed a team leader with a different set of skills to take the Government to the next state election in 2014.
In late 2010, Mr Sayer left his job as head of Skills Tasmania to head up the former Premier David Bartlett's office.
Education Minister Nick McKim has told a budget estimates hearing Mr Sayer was contracted to the Education Department until September this year on a salary of $200,000.
Mr McKim said Mr Sayer was still in talks with the department about his role and would not rule out extending his contract.
"I'm unable to tell you exactly what it is that Mr Sayer will do."
"We will find work for Mr Sayer to make sure he's usefully employed," the Minister said.
The Minister faced a barrage of questions from the Opposition's Michael Ferguson.
"A decision's already been made to downsize the senior executive service."
"It would be quite unjustified, wouldn't it, to extend that by one beyond September?
"Would you rule out extending that SES (Senior Executive Service) contract beyond September?
"You wouldn't want to have a task that would therefore justify artificially extending the contract," he said.
The Minister said SES contracts resided with the Premier.
The Minister told the hearing the Department had recently shed nine senior level bureaucrats.
Budget cuts
Mr McKim told the hearing it was impossible to measure the effect of budget cuts on schools.
He said class size funding was cut and school budgets were kept at 2010 levels last year to save $1.4 million.
Mr Ferguson questioned if the impact of the cuts had been analysed.
The Minister said it was up to principals to decide what to cut to make savings.
"It's not possible, therefore, to assess exactly what the impact of that particular savings strategy was on any school's particular budget decisions."
Mr Ferguson said it sounded as though the Minister did not want to know.
The Education Union's Terry Polglase said the impact was obvious.
"You'd only need to walk into one school and simply ask what you're not getting this year that you were getting last year."
"If he could do that in his 190-odd schools I think he'd get a very immediate effect of what the budget cuts have done," Mr Polglase said.
