I've been a terrible blogger this semester. Life just keeps flying by and doesn't slow down long enough for me to sit and write my reflections. This semester has brought us precious moments in the middle of the mundane. We feel more settled than ever before into a place of comfort and it seems that any time I get comfortable the Father decides to make a change. He doesn't want us to stay in a comfortable place because we become less effective. We allow the comfort to take the place of His presence. For us at this time, He decided to bless us with a baby to be born in June. We could not be more excited, however, this really through a "kink in the plan." We began to research options for staying here to have the baby. We felt like this was our home. This is where He has us. But after much research and heart-searching, we decided this would not be the best option for us. So, then we began to devise a plan of the whos, hows, whats, and wheres for coming to America to have the baby. We prayed and talked and talked and prayed. In the meantime, I was having some mild complications like hypertension and recurrent UTIs. We decided that I would return to America at the beginning of March and Cody would have to stay here to finish as much of the semester teaching as possible. So, Cody will join me on June 1st with lots of prayers that the baby stays put until Cody's arrival. The situation is less than ideal, but we both feel at peace about it and that is what carries us to push on.
Even though, we felt pretty all consumed with the surprising news of a baby coming, life here continued on. We enjoyed having Nancy here and looked for opportunities to tell her of a perfect Father through reading stories from the Word, Kid's Night (children come to our house on Thursday nights for pizza, we sing songs and dance, and share a story about Him), and meaningful conversations. Her parents have decided to move her to a teammates' home since I will be leaving in March.
We also had awesome opportunities to share about him at school during the Christmas season. This is always an excellent time to tell the story of his birth and this year was no different. All of our students performed a Christmas skit completely in English entitled, "How Christmas Stole the Heart of the Grinch." It was a spinoff of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," but completed with a nativity. Around 300 people attended this program and were told about His birth. It was pretty amazing and we were pretty proud of our students for doing such an excellent job!
We finished off 2012 with my sweet friend, Staci coming to visit us. It was a wonderful time of catching up and gallivanting around our big city. We were encouraged by having her here and had a blast. We are so thankful for sweet friends and family that love, encourages, and supports us. We are tremendously blessed.
We have three more weeks in the semester and then we finally have a long break. We will head to Thailand at the end of January for our conference retreat. We are so looking forward to rest, relaxation, warmth, sunshine, fresh air, and sweet moments with our Father. While we are looking ahead to Thailand, we are hoping to make the most of each day He has given us here because it is gift, not to be taken for granted, and we know that he is preparing the hearts of people all around us. May we be sensitive to His work.
We are excited about 2013 and all that it will bring. Our hope is that we will walk in faith and obedience each day, no matter where or what He calls us to.

On high noon, four armed men burst in to Jeff's Jewelry in Houston, Texas. The robbers came in shooting. But speed, surprise and violence of action weren't enough to win the fight against the store owner and employees. From yourhoustonnews.com
In a hail of gunfire, Conroe jewelry store owner Jeffery Turner Jr. made the decision to shoot back – with his AK-47 rifle – at four men who opened fire on his customers and staff during an attempted robbery Monday afternoon.
In the aftermath of the bullet spray, one robber lay dead in the doorway among shattered glass; while Turner, his employees and customers were left shaken but unharmed.
As the above video indicates, this wasn't the first rodeo for the owner and employees of Jeff's Jewelry in Conroe, Texas. In 2014, there was a robbery attempt where five armed robbers were scared off by an employee with a shotgun. From khou.com:
"God was with us today, he had his arms around everybody that was in there today," said Warner.
This isn't the first time Jeff's Jewelry was hit. Back in 2014, a group of armed robbers barged in, but were scared off when they realized an employee had a gun.
This time, customers are glad the owner was prepared.
"I'm just thankful we're all ok, and he's ok because he really stood up for everybody," said Havens.
In addition to the AK-47 clone-firing employee, at least two other good guys were armed and firing back at the attackers: four black men in black clothing. There were multiple surveillance cameras in the store. The video has not been released.
With one of the attackers dead, it's likely that the others will be apprehended shortly. It is not known if any of the other attackers were wounded.

God, and Victor Kalashnikov, you mean.
Mikhail Kalashnikov.
Damn straight.
God helps those who help themselves. An Ar or an AK or just a good solid Mossberg 500 will go a long way to helping yourself.
Technically they were Kalashnikov's arms.
If I was going to knock off a jewelry store, it sure as hell wouldn't be in Texas.

If I were to shop at a jewelry store, it wouldn't be named "Jeff's". Unless I was looking for a gold nugget bracelet and matching pinky ring. Does Jeff's do wheel alignments around back? Maybe they have an FFL.
I mean, that's like getting your wife a negligee from Bubba's Lingerie Boutique.
Hooray! Glad to hear it. (Five will get you ten that it won't make the national news).
God trains our hands for war and our fingers for battle (Ps. 144:1). He is faithful and He protects us from evil (iI Thess. 3:3).
Suck on that one Bloomberg.
Yes! Don't mess with Texas or us Texans.
We are armed, trained, practiced, and take care of business. Go to Kalifornistan if you want no resistance…
There's a CA jeweler in L. a. that has more gunfights under his belt than Wyatt Earp. And he's won them all.
In one case his SIG was jamming cause his own blood made it difficult to handle the weapon. He tossed it aside and pulled a revolver and finished the fight.
Geography doesn't dictate ball size. Just sayin'.
But it does dictate magazine capacity…
Hence the Angeleno jeweler's New York reload….
That's why we have speed loaders.
It does indicate brains, though; after managing to win like five shoulda-killed-him gun fights, that guy finally got the sense to leave friggin' Oakland (I believe that was the particular shitty suburb). I guess the drug/pimp-money juice wasn't worth the bloody squeeze (jeweler in a ghetto –duh)
It does indicate a ticking time bomb. [For the sake of argument] Wouldn't it be better to use your weapons on the people who attempt to disarm you for those perpetrators of crime, then to wait around for the latter? Who's working for whom? Are the anti-gunner's [a/k/a: The Criminals] getting a cut from the people they are aiding more, namely the people who want to rob you [a/k/a: The Criminals] ? Or are the Criminals, [the people trying to take something away from you] working for the Criminals [the people who are trying to take something away from you]?
@jwm, you're referring to a watch dealer named Lance Thomas.
In the space of less than three years, Thomas had four gun battles against 11 known suspects. He shot six, killing five. Thomas was wounded on two occasions, taking five rounds in total. One of his gunfights was with a hit man hired by a local gang to take him out.
Thomas ended up closing his store after 15 years in business. I guess that enough was enough.
This is impossible. Rifles are useless for self-defense.
Only the AR's. Sarcasm
4 idiots run in, 3 limp out leaving a blood trail while one lays dead bleeding out.
When villains are met with overwhelming firepower they turn into yellow bellied cowards.
I have a small office, me and 4 ladies in a decent area of town. Every single one of them has a .38 special and I have an M&P .40. I would hope we would have similar results as one is a shooting instructor and I run 5000 cartridges a year out of a menagerie of handguns.
The others go to the range with me at least once per month and we practice, practice practice. It's fun! I hope we never have to use our guns at work, I pity the fool(s) who might try.
I hope the video gets released. I always like seeing the OH SHIT moment when the thugs realize that their victims aren't so keen to be easily victimized.
Great name – passthebrass- love it!
I love this response from one of the readers of the news article:
This just in from BLM
" four young men returning from choir practice at church mistakenly entered a local business they thought was a ice cream parlor and the workers opened fire for no reason other than they looked suspicious"
A book was found near the innocent dead man
Authorities are questioning if workers thought the "book" was mistaken as a firearm
We had that in my neighborhood (also TX) years back. 3 black gangbanger types in a stolen car drive up to a jewelry store and attempt a robbery. Guy shot first had the car keys, so the other 2 run off into a rather high-rent neighborhood (mine) where they stood out like they were carrying neon signs, hid out in the woods for several hours while being hunted with dogs, helicopters, mounted cops, and all neighbors were notified and carrying rifles and shotguns. Stopped a neighbor to ask which way to the Interstate, he told them it was right up ahead (it's over 20 miles to an Interstate) and called the cops. Good news is they were taken alive, sort of surprised me. Texas is not the best choice for that kind of activity.
" The robbers came in shooting."
That right there was the nightmare scenario I had when working pawn shops.
Every few feet behind the counter (not visible to the customers) we had guns stashed, chambered, and safety off.
Those guns we identified by having red tape wrapped around the barrel and grip.
That was in addition to whatever employees concealed carried.
I am ever grateful they were never needed when I was in there…
But…But…I was told DGUs are a myth.
Hmm wonder what would have happened in a state with a 10 round magazine limit.
Buckshot. YMMV.
"bullet spray"? There always has to be a dig.
God blessed Texas
Ummm…I've been in jewelry stores and pawn shops all over Chicagoland and NW Indiana. Most buzz you in-ya' can't just walk(or barge) in. Do these Texas AK wielders do that? Just curious?…good shooting!
Most that I have been to do not have this, at least in San Antonio.
Different shops have different ideas on door access.
Some require buzzing in both in and out, some buzz out only, trapping the murderous robber inside, some dumbsh!ts buzz in only (stupid), letting shoplifters haul ass outta there. Or various other schemes.
Every shop I have worked at had one iron-clad rule, always at least two employees behind the counter.
Those shops that run solo in my opinion are just asking to be hit…
From the source news article: "In the aftermath of the bullet spray…"
Way to frame the anti-gun argument, "journalist". Had the shootout been conducted by LEO, it would have been "gun fight" and "targeted shot" because we all know full well that LEOs are crack shots that aim for the leg or arm.
I love a good bed time story.
This is my favorite bedtime story:
"In addition to the AK-47 clone-firing employee, ***at least two other good guys were armed and firing back*** at the attackers"
Oh damn! "At least," lol; what a cluster-fuck. That's what we call a 'tactical error by way of unknown-unknown' right there. I wonder how the armed good guys kept from killing eachother/everyone like is always claimed?
I guess all the antis have left is to hope the dead perp can be classified as a child. I think that is anyone not in the AARP.
Remember, no one needs more than a 10-round magazine to defend themselves …
Of course that means you only get 2.5 bullets per attacker when 4 attackers rush your location such as this jewelry store robbery … whichhhhh also means you better be a damn good marksman and able to put 40% of your rounds on target when engaging multiple attackers under stress. Well, if you want to be able to put at least one bullet into each attacker and have a solid chance of physically incapacitating them as opposed to putting all your faith in scaring them off with misses. And if your attackers require two bullet wounds before they are unable to continue their attack, then you have to put 80% of your rounds on target.
Hmm. And gun-grabbers actually claim that no one ever needs more than a 10-round magazine. I think I just stated a simple case where a person truly would need more than 10-rounds to defend themselves in the real world.
And therein lies the rub. I am talking about what a person actually needs in the real world. But gun-grabbers — Progressives — operate on altruism, fantasy, and emotion.
They came in shooting probably because they were tbe same group tbat tried to rob the store first time. They were going back to show that store owner he would pay a price for making the "brothers" look like complete cowards.
Well, they were spanked a second time, one lethally, and now they look not just like cowards, but retarded cowards as well.
The store owner learned about the need for superior firepower, we should do the same.
How fitting,
Short trip north from Conroe to Huntsville. Evidently that crew thought they would fare better there than in Cut and Shoot, directly east. ?
SB 1446 – July 1 2017 the people of CA. have to get rid over 10 round magazines, no compensation.
At that time I can be fined for the passion of "a" magazine first time is $250 per offense.
Second time is $500
I'm guessing that it would cost me $250 – $500 for having 2 12 rounder's for my Ruger MK II, plus attorney fees, court costs, etc..
I signed the petitions.
Estimated 13 million gun owners in CA only 300 thousand didn't bother to take 20 minutes to sign.
Pleasant weather.
I would say that an armed society is a polite society except the guy who got shot was quite rude for bleeding all over the shop owner's floor. Hopefully the message gets out that is the wrong jewelry store to hit and that crime does not pay except in copper jacketed lead and stupid prizes.
But I thought these assault weapons had no defensive use?
No one needs an ak-47. They are only used for killing people. Right.
Glad the employees and customers of the business are safe.
When I was a kid, we used to go to the movies every Saturday morning. They had an ongoing serial, and I remember there was this trap door in front of a desk. When the door was tripped, it dropped who ever was standing on it, down into a pond of alligators.
Might have worked well in this scenario.

text: Tommy Bankhead's Message to St. Louis (Fedora 5017; 49:09) is a seamless blend of country and city blues by the St. Louis blues vet, a one-time sideman to blues legend Sonny Boy Williamson. A product of the house party/fish fry/juke joint circuit of Mississippi and Arkansas, Bankhead migrated to East St. Louis in the early '50s and has been there ever since. His only previous recording is a 1983 outing with his band The Blues Eldoradoes on an obscure label. This one finds him in fine voice and in gritty spirits on a program of affecting shuffles and confessional slow blues like "It Ain't Right," "Alcohol Ain't Nothin'" "Old Maid" and the rocking title track.

1. Whom does RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center serve and what does it do?
RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center serves individuals who have barriers to self-sufficiency but who are able to work competitively. This includes people with physical, sensory, mental health and other disabilities, immigrants and refugees, and individuals transitioning off of public assistance.
RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center offers services in the areas of Assessment, Accredited Career Education, Job Placement, and Job Retention.
2. Where is RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center located?
RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center's main location is at 2438 27th Avenue South in Minneapolis, but RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center also has service locations in St. Paul, and St. Cloud.
All RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center locations are on or near public transportation and offer individuals a safe environment and a knowledgeable staff who have the expertise necessary to move individuals forward in their lives.
3. Who pays for RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center services?
RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center is a private, nonprofit organization that operates it programs by charging a fee for its services or receives grant funding to cover costs for specialized programming.
Most individuals do not pay for services on their own, although individuals may choose to self-pay if no other payment source is available. The referral source or individual who refers a person to MRC for services normally covers service fees. Referral sources include Vocational Rehabilitation Services, State Services for the Blind or Veterans Administration rehabilitation counselors, QRCs, case managers, employers, or other individuals who have access to dollars for the types of services MRC offers. The decision to cover the cost of RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center services is made between the referring counselor and the individual needing/wanting RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center services, not by RESOURCE staff.
4. How are referrals made?
A referring counselor must refer each individual receiving services at MRC for those services. The RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center Referral Form must be completed and mailed or faxed to RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center, along with documentation of an individual's disability, when applicable. An authorization for payment of services may accompany the completed referral form or may be sent at a later time but prior to an intake being scheduled. Once the referral form is received, a RESOURCE staff person will call the individual and referring counselor to schedule an intake appointment.
5. What can RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center do for me?
RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center offers services that help participants assess their skills and skill potential, expand and enhance technical and interpersonal skills through career education, secure employment through individualized placement, and retain and maintain their jobs through intensive post-placement follow-along services.
6. What is the length of time for RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center services?
The length of RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center services varies from a few days to many months depending on the service(s) being provided.
7. Will I get a job once I have completed services at RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center?
Individuals may be referred to RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center Employment Services to help them secure employment or they may be referred to another provider or back to their referring agency to receive placement services. Referring counselors will help participants determine the best placement option for them.
RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center has a knowledgeable placement staff which offers individualized placement and support services to each job seeker. The job seeker and employment specialist work together to secure an appropriate job within a 90-day time period. RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center focuses on jobs with career advancement potential and benefits and utilizes the expertise of its 70-member Business Partner Council in the placement process. Although RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center makes a strong commitment to placing participants referred for placement services, we cannot guarantee that every individual referred will find employment.
Once the job seeker has been placed, RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center staff continue to follow each participant for a minimum of 90 days post-placement to make sure the job is a good fit for the individual and that the employer also feels the match is good.
8. Will I need to make a plan or set goals?
RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center requires that each individual referred for services completes a plan prior to beginning the service(s) they are referred for. This plan gives direction to the process and helps RESOURCE Minnesota Resource Center staff better understand the needs and goals of the participants referred.

For this relay race game you will need lots of tutu's, 2 tiaras, ballet shoes, lipstick and other fun or crazy items that ballerinas would wear. Divide the guests into 2 teams. Each team lines up one behind the other and waits for their turn to do the relay. On the other side of the room set up a basket filled with the tutu's and other items - one basket for each team. From each team girls race one at a time to the basket, put on the items, run back to the starting line, then run back to the basket and take the items off … then run back to the starting line and tag the next team member to go. All items must be in the basket before another girl can start. This game is even more fun if you have several (4 or more) tutu's that the teams have to put on during the relay race.

Sugar Plum Fairy Tutus - let guests make their own Sugar Plum fairy skirt. Cut long pieces of ribbon that are big enough to go around the child's waist with room left over to tie a bow. This is the base of the tutu. For the body of the tutu cut long strips of tulle in green, pink, purple and yellow about 2" x 3 feet. Lay the ribbon on a flat table and show guests how to fold the tulle strip in half, place the folded loop under the ribbon and then take the two ends of the tulle and put them through the loop. Pull the ends so that the loop closes over the ribbon attaching itself into a loose knot. Continue along the ribbon until it is full. Tie skirts around the waists of the fairies. Pieces of ribbon can also be cut into strips and added to skirt with the tulle. For younger children make the skirts ahead of time and let them add the ribbon.

The Plot of Your Life
By Audrey Stallsmith
"It makes a better story." I've heard many justifications for the suffering most of us experience off and on throughout our lives, but that one definitely is the oddest!
We all know that conflict is required for good fiction. In his book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, Donald Miller holds that it is required to make a good life too.
"We realize that great stories are told in conflict," he points out, "but we are unwilling to embrace the potential greatness of the story we are actually in. We think God is unjust, rather than a master storyteller."
Of course, all authors--even God--have to have to have a good reason for putting their characters through hell, or those authors will come off as sadistic. According to Miller, "If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation."
There's only one way that character transformation happens in fiction. As Miller writes, "I knew a character had to face his greatest fears. That's the stuff of a good story. . ." His greatest fear was having to face the father he'd never met and never particularly wanted to meet.
Most of us are content to get such drama from novels and movies and would just as soon exclude it from real life. That is why, as Miller notes, "Characters don't usually choose to move. They have to be forced." Forced by their author as, presumably, we have to be forced by God--if our mothers don't get there first!
In her book, Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert writes of her mother, "At every turn, she made me do exactly what I dreaded most." That is true of a great many female parents, including my own, who decided that this introvert should take over the children's missionary service at church and a local judge of elections position because both "would be good for me." Granted, they proved to be so eventually, but I definitely wasn't convinced of that at the time. I also had a strong suspicion that my mother just wanted to get out of those jobs herself!
They did teach me, however, that we can survive even our most public flubs, and that nobody but the flubber is likely to remember them for long. Our worrying about what other people think of us generally is a waste of time since, as Gilbert puts it with brutal candor, "nobody was ever thinking about you anyway."
No, we introverts don't deal well with any of the twists that make a good plot, especially when they involve drastic changes such as my sister and her adolescent daughter moving in with us after her marriage broke up. Having to share a small house and single bathroom with two more people provided conflict enough, even before my sister went out to lunch with someone she'd met on the Internet and hadn't returned by mid-afternoon.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, my believe-the-best-of-everybody mother had never drilled fear of strangers into us. In fact, I'd even had an ex-con pen pal visit me once with no harm ensuing. So none of us had paid much attention to my sister's lunch date.
However, even the mother who'd once let two of her teenagers go off on an extended bike trip alone got worried when she couldn't reach my sister on her cell phone. And then we received a call from my niece's school bus driver saying that nobody was at the bus stop to pick her up.
On the way to get her, I debated in a befuddled sort of way about how you tell a young teenager that her mother may have disappeared. I came up with a lame, "They could just have lost track of time," which ultimately proved to be true, but probably didn't sound too convincing to my niece at the time I was saying it. Instead, I felt like asking God, Is it really necessary for all of us to end up on an episode of Dateline to make a good story?
One of my greatest fears is of irrationality. If God really does force us to confront those greatest fears, that could explain how I've ended up working for a woman with dementia. It might just be His way of developing her character, though, since she has to patiently listen to me repeat the same instructions over and over ad nauseam.
Her often blank affect and minimal conversation make it hard to guess what she's thinking, but I always suspect it's something along the lines of, If that girl keeps sounding like a broken record, I'm going to clobber her with my walker! (For those of you too young to be familiar with LPs-- long-playing vinyl records--I should explain that the record player's needle sticking in one place causes the music to repeat itself in a highly annoying way until you move that needle.)
Most of us wouldn't consider my patient's fate a happy ending to the story of her Christian life, but we have to remember that she actually hasn't reached the ending yet. That will come in heaven where her health will be restored--and where I hope she'll forgive me for all those "vain repetitions."
Although Miller's theory is an interesting one, after thinking it over, I found I couldn't entirely agree with it. As I've stated in previous articles, I believe in free will rather than predestination. So I also believe that most of the bad things which happen to us either are random or caused by our own folly. There might be occasional exceptions to the rule, just as miracles are more positive exceptions to the rule, but they would be exceptions. So, no, I don't think such conflict is God's way of making our plots more interesting.
We authors know that characters frequently refuse to cooperate with proscribed plot lines anyway and veer off onto other paths instead. But, if we follow our protagonists where they need to go, they will experience transformations. Provided, of course, that they voluntarily have chosen to fight their weaknesses rather than running from them.
Scripture tells us that God allows His characters their freedom too. He accompanies us on our journeys, but doesn't force us onto particular paths, only giving guidance when we request it.
If we allow Him to do so, however, He--like a good Author--can use whatever trials we encounter to make us better people. After all, the Creator who constructed a world from chaos should have no problem constructing plots from the same.

Or are the experiences parapsychological fruits of the seers' unconscious? Are they a deceptive manipulation or even a trick of evil forces? According to reports, there are plans at the Vatican to have the Medjugorje phenomenon -conclusively investigated by a commission. Regina Einig asked the chairman of the German Society for Mariology
(Deutsche Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Mariologie), professor of dogmatics and patristics at Lugano, Manfred Hauke, about the subject.
Wherein can we find the theological meaning of Marian apparitions? Appearances of the Mother of God belong to the charism of prophecy, in which the mysterious working of the Spirit of God comes to expression. St. Paul emphasizes: "Do not quench the Spirit! Do not despise prophetic utterances!" (1 Thess. 5:19-20). The book of Proverbs already emphasizes: "Without prophecy, the people become demoralized"
(Prov. 29:18).
According to Thomas Aquinas, prophetic revelations after the Apostolic era are not given in order to spread a new teaching of faith, but serve to
guide human action. Theology speaks here of "private revelations", inasmuch as the content conveyed does not belong to general and public revelation, which closed with the Apostolic era. "Private", then, means a reference to an individual person, a group or even the whole Church in a particular historical situation. "Private revelations", or (better) prophetic revelations help us to recognize the "signs of the times" (Lk. 12:56) and act accordingly.
Following Pope Benedict XIV, the recognition of a private revelation by the responsible bishop is not the basis of any duty to believe, in the strict sense (fides divina), but it states that one can approach the apparitions with a purely human faith (fides humana) based on reasoning.
So no Catholic is obliged to believe that the Mother of God appeared in Lourdes and Fatima; but the Church states that the reports of the apparitions are worthy of belief and a Catholic may believe in them and cultivate a corresponding spirituality. Yes, the Church has even set
several memorial days in the liturgical calendar and issued corresponding Mass formulas. Prophetic revelations are not the normal case of Christian life, but an exception:
"Blessed are they who do not see and yet believe" ( Jn.20:29). The Catechism of the Catholic Church stresses with St. John of the Cross: In Jesus Christ, the eternal divine Word, God the Father has shared everything with us (cf. Hebr. 1:1-12). "Any person questioning God or
desiring some vision or revelation would be guilty not only of foolish behavior but also of offending him, by not fixing his eyes entirely upon Christ and by living with the desire for some other novelty" (CCC 65).
Is there really a possibility of apparitions that convey to a person something that does not originate in his own psyche?
According to one widespread theory, which goes back to Karl Rahner primarily, all apparitions are "imaginative visions". According to that theory, the content of the "apparition" has a psychogenic origin, even if it can be made possible by a divine impulse. That is, God does not work in this world immediately, but only through created secondary causes (especially through the human psyche). In other words: whether someone experiences a vision of a "ship's goblin", or of his own stepmother, or of the Virgin Mary depends on the subjective psychological disposition, perhaps on unconscious mental processes, and not on objective circumstances that encounter the person from
outside himself. In such a theory the question of authenticity or inauthenticity of Marian apparitions is no longer germane, in the last analysis.
Against this, I would stress that to exclude the unmediated intervention of God in this world is intellectually not tenable, because then the original creation out of nothing, which goes back to God alone, would be impossible. Besides this, there are unequivocally witnessed phenomena, in which the content of what was seen comes from an extra-mental experience: for example, in the Marian apparitions at Knock in Ireland in 1879,15 people saw Mary with other saints, and an altar, in
pouring rain; the place where the saints stood remained dry despite the pouring rain. Such an event is not explicable by Rahner's subjectivistic proposal. We must always consider the subjective factor: even in genuine revelations errors can intrude, when human imagination adds
something or when a statement is interpreted wrongly.And there is naturally the phenomenon of fantasies of a morbid origin, or the possibility of deception. If both are excluded, standing in the center of the interpretation of apparitions is the evaluation of its extra-mental origin: the intervention of God and heavenly personages, or instead
evil forces.
What forms of visions or apparitions can be distinguished? "Apparition" means, in its theological definition, the intervention of a heavenly being, experienced by the external senses or by the faculty of imagination. The concept "vision", in contrast, places emphasis on the subjective components, and therefore on the perception of an event
which is by nature not visible. Among them, there can be "bodily visions", if the approaching object is perceived with the visual sense; "imaginative" visions (which only manifest themselves in the faculty of imagination), or "intellectual" visions (which show themselves in thought without conveying a sensory impression). Does the Medjugorje phenomenon fit, in your view, in the line of the great Marian apparition sites such as Lourdes, Fatima, or Guadalupe?
Medjugorje has, in common with the apparition sites you mentioned, which have been recognized by the Church, a formidable stream of pilgrims, who pray there, seek conversion, or renew their faith. I myself was impressed on a visit to Medjugorje in 1985 with the numerous
confessions; in one of them, someone told me: "My last confession was before the Second World War." Also a fair number of religious vocations is connected with the pilgrimage, the believing community, and the life of prayer that can be experienced in those places. On the other side, there are obvious differences. Among those are the number of visionary phenomena and the miracles recognized by the Church as worthy of belief.
In Guadalupe there were four appearances of Mary (December 9-12, 1531), which were made credible by one of the greatest miracles in Church history, namely the impression of the image of Mary on the mantel of the seer.In the following ten years eight million Indios converted. The authenticity of the apparitions was recognized in
1566 after a canonical process and the seer was canonized in 2002.
In Lourdes eighteen Marian appearances were counted, which took place within a half year (Feb. 11 - July 16, 1858). The messages connected with them concentrated on prayer and penance. They were made credible from the beginning by miracles, which stood up to a thoroughly critical medical and ecclesiastical examination.The bishop's recognition (1862) is connected with the personal credibility of the seer, Bernadette Soubirous, who entered a convent after her encounter with the Mother of God and was canonized in 1933.
The events of Fatima comprise six appearances of Mary (May to October 1917), which were preceded by three apparitions of angels (1916) and were extended through apparitions to the seer Lucia in Pontevedra (1925-26) and Tuy (1929- 30). The miracle of the sun in Fatima (October 13, 1917) happened in front of about 50,000 people. The Marian apparitions of 1917 were recognized as worthy of belief in 1930, and the messages to Lucia at Pontevedra and Tuy in 1939. Two of the seers of 1917 (Francisco and Jacinta,who died as children) were beatified in 2000, while the inaugural process for the recently deceased Sister Lucia began in 2008. So Guadalupe, Lourdes, and Fatima are distinguished by a very limited number of Marian appearances, by a clearly outlined message, through the holiness, recognized by the Church, of the seers. and by the impressive confirmation on the grounds of obvious miracles.
In contrast to those, the Medjugorje phenomenon presents itself differently: the number of alleged appearances must reach over 40,000; the messages connected with them are especially numerous and raise some critical questions; regarding the credibility of the seers, there is a shadow in a few cases from the phenomenon of a provable lie;a miracle recognized by the Church does not exist; the miraculous signs predicted by the seers as confirmations of Medjugorje, have not been observed yet. The Portuguese Cardinal Saraiva-Martins, for years prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, was recently asked about
the parallels between Medjugorje and Fatima. He gave the opinion: While the shepherd children of Fatima showed themselves to be humble and chose silence, these virtues are not obvious in Medjugorje; while Sister Lucia entered the cloister, no one in Medjugorje has chosen consecrated life [one of the seers instead married an American beauty
queen; this is of course no sin, but it is also no especial sign of a supernatural influence through Marian apparitions]; Sister Lucia put down the secrets entrusted to her by Mary in writing, while the visionaries of Medjugorje keep them for themselves. "No, I see nothing in common between Fatima and Medjugorje" (www.papanews.it,
January 15, 2010).
