This post is part of a series in which I am providing an overview of my healing process from child abuse. The story begins here.
As I continued to heal from my abusive past, I changed. I experienced an enormous amount of emotional growth. While I felt much better about myself, this rapid growth changed every single relationship in my life. That was challenging and continues to be a challenge to this day.
Relationships start out with a certain dynamic, and there is an expectation that the dynamic will continue indefinitely. The problem is that I am no longer the same person who entered into these relationships, and I am no longer willing to be the passive doormat. All of my relationships changed. Some became much better, but others felt the strain. Some went from what I thought was "really good" to being very challenging. (That was particularly true of family relationships.)
My husband has told me more than once that I am no longer the woman he married. He's right – I'm not. I told him that I would understand if he wanted out, but he doesn't. He wants me back the way I was, where I lived to make him happy and protect him from getting upset about life in general. That is not who I am any longer, and I cannot go back to that place. He has changed just enough to make it work, but it is a challenge. I am not the little girl who entered into this marriage many years ago.
I have outpaced many of my long-term friends in emotional growth. This has changed our friendships. There are characteristics that seem like "new" unhealthy behaviors that I have to recognize were always there: I just didn't want to see them. Some of them are not people I would choose to befriend today, and yet I love them, so it is hard to figure out how to make those relationships work when we are in such very different places. When I love, I love deeply, so I continue to nurture some relationships that really are not the healthiest for me until I reach a place where I have to distance myself because it simply does not work any longer.
And then there are the challenges of new friendships. I have developed some newer friendships over the past year that both thrill me with the possibility of true emotional intimacy while, at the same time, scare the h@#$ out of me because they "see" me. I have always both wanted and feared being seen. These healthier friendships drive home how broken I still am. I am now too healthy for many of my unhealthy friendships to work and yet I feel too broken to trust that the healthy ones will work, which leaves me feeling isolated.
Unfortunately, this continues to be a struggle for me, so I have no answers for those of you in the same place. All I can offer is to travel the path with you.

Jealous of the past
A Reading Note
On the library as a personal history:
I delight in knowing that I'm surrounded by a sort of inventory of my life, with intimations of my future. I like discovering, in almost forgotten volumes, traces of the reader I once was—scribbles, bus tickets, scraps of paper with mysterious names and numbers, the occasional date and place on the book's flyleaf which take me back to a certain café, a distant hotel room, a faraway summer so long ago. I could, if I had to, abandon these books of mine and begin again, somewhere else; I have done so, several times, out of necessity. But then I have also had to acknowledge a grave, irreparable loss. I know that something dies when I give up my books, and that my memory keeps going back to them with mournful nostalgia. And now, with the years, my memory can recall less and less and seems to me like a looted library: many of the rooms have been closed, and in the ones still open for consultation there are huge gaps on the shelves. I pull out one of the remaining books and see that several of its pages have been torn out by vandals. The more decrepit my memory becomes, the more I wish to protect this repository of what I've read, this collection of textures and voices and scents. Possessing these books has become all-important of me, because I've become jealous of the past.Manguel, A History of Reading, page 237
Imagine the same jealousy, when instead of a room full of books, you are surrounded by floppy disks, outdated file formats, drives with connections that no longer fit, URLs that return emptiness. The things we read (or see or watch) are part of who we are; we need to guard their futures like our own.

Trump Pumps Fake Oil Price Crisis While Strangling Venezuelan Exports
Donald Trump sent the oil market into a tailspin Monday with one tweet claiming oil prices are too high and blaming OPEC for it. Is Trump unaware that oil prices are a function of supply and demand? Or is he deliberately shifting the blame off his destructive embargo of Venezuela? Oil prices getting too high. […]Continue Reading

On September 14, 1991,in Anchorage, Alaska, a very pregnant Peggy Barnett along with her 9-year old daughter drove to the post office to deliver a package to an associate, George Kerr in Chugiak, fifteen miles outside of Anchorage. George's father David Kerr picked up the package three days later and brought it home. He and his wife Michelle were in the kitchen when David opened the package. The explosion was so intense, neighbours feared there had been an earthquake. David died instantly but Michelle survived.
Michelle told U.S postal inspectors that Doug Gustafson was involved. It was no secret that Douglas Gustafson and his cohort, Raymond Cheely, despised George Kerr, had knowledge of explosives, and liked to blow things up. However they had perfect alibis. They were already in prison for murder.
An investigative task force was formed led by U.S Postal Inspection Service, with assistance from the Anchorage Police Department and the US department of the Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to solve this case. THE ALASKA MAIL-BOMB CONSPIRACY-Burl Barer

With Benjamin Toms
I hope you've enjoyed the series of photography advice articles with documentary wedding photographer Benjamin Toms. They all stemmed from a conversation we had a little while ago where I learned so much about wedding photography I simply had to share it all with you… which brings me to one last little piece of advice I absolutely couldn't miss!
This one's a little tongue in cheek, but the message is still important…
Documentary wedding photography is storytelling in pictures. It's never a dull timeline, but more of a journey through your wedding day, captured through the eyes of your guests. You'll see lots of wonderfully candid photos of your favourite people in the world chatting, laughing, smiling and so much more. This style of photography will capture the spirit of your day like no other.
… and then there's Auntie Muriel.
Please note, I have made Auntie Muriel up. Much as JK Rowling invented Harry Potter (but I'm sure he was loosely based on a boy with wizardy tendencies… although I digress) Auntie Muriel is not a real person.

Cookie Crumbs and Nugget Nodules
choking-chuckle-snort Bb, I have no brain!! Does it come as any surprise??
Nugget Fucker
Is that a yes? You've fucked with my nuggets before, but this seems to be taking form of cake crumbs to me. Now stop sucking the ingrown hair on you leg and answer me you dick-dirt
A healthy Root
You may be able to root a beet also. It'd be messy and you'd be stained purple for at least a week, but you can count it towards your vegetable quoter for the day
escapee fodder
ahhhh i'd been feeling low on natural fodder, nice suggestive helper. However my roots are running low and somewhat exposed at the moment so I must resort to some other type of juice absorbtion. How does one prevent escape of the goods once consumed?? oh to have a vegetable magnet one can weild on demand ...
So the more s's the better the cork??? That is a nice gherkin if i Do say so myself.
I think after two more whisker splits I shall call it a night.
I think after two more whisker splits I shall call it a night.
Grose Grocer
Ive known you a long time Bb, and Im used to your eloquent phrasing, but that one made me gag in my drink. Personally cucumbers are harder, bigger and can take more grunt than a half-cocked pickle. You should seek out a more respectable vegetable mechant. Your's is only excited by the expandability of your pocket
You two are drunk. If I were a tad more sober I'd thrash the living daylights out of you. Turnips are lame. Daffodil.
Anticipating the bib
Oh. my pockets are elastic I see. I must be wearing bubblegummers and at least 20 years out of touch, which means they can accommodate both large and non-existant vegetables, but be assurred should the mother of all vegetables present itself it will be juiced instantaneously and devoured with embarrassing delight. I will be sure to wear a bib.
Juicy Bubblegummers
A bib might not cut it my faithful friend of the past decade. You might need a few boxes of Goober-wipes, and then a few lemonscented KFC towelettes to sweeten the putred stench of vegetable dregs that dribble from the creases of your vegetable munching arse cheeks.
final whisker
A moist towelette can amend the most putrid of stenches, and be assured my most inebriated cabodre that I have a plentiful supply onhand. I've been collecting for years, after all and continue to have tiny packets of lemon goodness thrown my way. On this indigestive flavour i shall bid ye goodnight!
The journey's end.....
Yes yes, the lemony goodness will always overcome all situations sordid. Sleep soundly Bb, but just be careful of your tongue when you talk in your dreams, it might make you trip over your teeth. I'm gonna empty my gwaffer of it's Soco-Lemony-Drink-of-Goodness and climb into my pj's through the arsehole soon myself. Take care till next we meet!
Moons,mooses and bin-raping
A new moon on it's cycle and I've yet to have you scratch my wax-tubes Bb. Im surrounded by mooses and men dressed in bright yellow shorts - me thinks bin-raping at the 80's-store in Canada has occured! How foul doth the wind blow in the nellie regions Bb??

Gov. Tim Walz and legislative leaders are still trying to reach a budget deal but time is running short for ending the 2019 session on time.
Both sides traded new offers Monday but overall there was little progress.
The governor and House Democrats offered to cut their proposed 20 cent gas tax increase to 16 cents.

Walz, DFL House offer reduced gas tax increase as budget negotiations continue
Walz, legislative leaders fail to reach budget deal again
Senate Republicans offered $100 million more in spending funded by tapping some of the state's budget reserve. But they said the gas tax increase and renewing an expiring 2% tax on health care providers remain off the table.
Legislative leaders on both sides agreed that they need to reach a deal on budget targets by Wednesday to allow enough time for drafting the big budget bills and passing them by Monday's adjournment date.
Lawmakers have until May 20 to strike a deal during the regular legislative session. After that, the governor can call lawmakers back into a special session to finalize any remaining work. They must have a deal by June 30, the final day of the fiscal year, or the state government will shut down.
Gov. Walz's spokesperson said both sides are "making progress," and will hopefully pick up again Wednesday morning, according to KSTP reporter Callan Gray. As of 10 p.m. Tuesday night, meetings were still in progress with no signs of stopping.

If you have crossed paths with Juri, then consider yourself blessed. He is humble, authentic and gifted when it comes to intuition and sensitivity for doing body work. He is one of the rare humans these days who not only "talks the talk" but also "walks the walk". He is a very pure channel because he has done the inner work to make himself so. I highly recommend a session or two of Access Bars if you feel it resonates with you. Juri is a pure channel for running this intelligent energy coming from the Source Field.

There are many components that go into making a perfect glove. For me, the main one is simplicity. I want a glove that will do everything I want it to, without having too many functions or too much junk on it. The Avant-Garde Glove by Spidi is exactly that. Warm without bulk, water resistant, breathable, lightweight and super soft: these gloves have quickly become the standard for our cold weather riding.
With sheep leather on the back and durable goat leather on the palm, this all black glove has a timeless, easy to wear look. There is no velcro, only an adjustable snap for fitment, which I always prefer as I tend to store my gloves in my helmet and the velcro always pulls on the inner shell.
Timeless simplicity is hard to master, especially when function is the most important aspect of the design. Spidi has managed to pull it off perfectly in the last several pieces we have had to test from them. Excellent design and high quality materials, what more can you ask for?

Loveland Lizard image from Weird Things
Next, we'll head across Ohio towards Cincinnati, and check out the reports of its mean green machine, the Loveland Lizard (or frog).
The Algonquin Twightwees (the Miami tribe), lived in Ohio's Miami Valley and were the first to tell tales of a froggy creature. As early French explorers came by, the Twightwees warned them of a lizard-like creature that could not be killed. They called this critter Shawnahooc, meaning "demon of the river."
But after a couple of centuries spent fighting the expansion of the settlers, the Miamis were forced to relocate to Kansas, and with them went the Shawnahooc legend.
That is, until May, 1955. A businessman reported that he saw three or four frog-faced creatures gathered under a bridge near Loveland.
They were described as three-foot tall, with wrinkles instead of hair, broad chests, and wide mouths without lips, like king-sized frogs. One of them is said to have held up a wand that shot sparks. A strong odor of alfalfa and almonds was reportedly left behind after the varmints vacated the bridge.
The witness couldn't decide whether he had seen fairy-tale trolls, creatures that were half human, half frog, huge reptiles, or spacemen.
As the years rolled into decades, there were no further reported sightings of the Loveland Frog. Then the long arm of the law got involved.
On March 3, 1972, a police officer was patrolling a section of Riverside Avenue that runs along the Little Miami River in Loveland, Ohio. The policeman saw what he thought was a dog lying in the middle of the road, and slowed down his cruiser on the icy road, unsure of the animal's condition.
The cop stopped his patrol car and got out with his flashlight to check if the dog was injured or perhaps even roadkill. Suddenly, the creature crouched on two legs, and the officer realized his sighting wasn't a dog at all, but something entirely different.
It was three to four feet tall, 50 to 75 pounds, with leathery skin, maybe a short tail, and a head and face like a frog. Whatever this creature was, it glanced at the patrolman and leapt over the road's guard rail toward the river.
The officer reported the odd event to the police dispatcher, though never filing an official report, and later returned to the scene with another policeman. All they found were markings from something that had scraped along the hillside as it made its way to the river.
Two weeks later, another police officer saw it, again lying in the middle of the road. When he got out of his car to haul it to the shoulder, it got up, climbed over the guard rail, eying the policeman, and disappeared toward the river.
The cop took a shot at the creature, but it never slowed down and escaped into the waters of the Little Miami River.
A farmer in Loveland also claimed that he spotted a froglike creature during the same time frame.
A local publicity firestorm erupted, based a little bit on the sightings and a lot on Loveland politics and efforts at embarrassing people and evening scores, not an uncommon tack in small-town editorial rooms (or big city ones, for that matter.)
The second peace officer pooh-poohed the whole affair, claiming that he saw someone's tossed-out, overgrown pet lizard. He took a shot at him in an effort to bring the critter in and clear the first officer's reputation. His guess was that either he winged it and it eventually died from the wound, or that the cold got it.
An investigation came up empty, suggesting that the officers saw an escaped Nile monitor lizard or a large iguana, which can be over six feet in length. So did the sightings.
Did they actually see a lizard-man? Well, there are reports of them from other places. Some of the more renowned are the Lizardman of Wayne, New Jersey, the Giant Lizard of Milton, Kentucky, and the Lizard Man craze that swept Bishopville, South Carolina in 1988.
But for Loveland, it seemed the end of the story. The twentieth century passed by without anymore lizards littering the local roads. But...
In 2000, a visitor on vacation reported seeing the Loveland Lizard on the way to his hotel. He described it as a 4-foot-tall creature that was part human and part lizard or frog. He said it had scaly skin, webbed hands and feet and was holding a wand-like stick. Sound familiar?
The tourist tried to take a photo of the creature but he hit the flash instead of the shutter button and scared it off. Pity; a picture is worth a thousand words.

So, as explained yesterday, I'm posting recordings of the 2000 tour 15 years to the day of the actual concert, starting with this recording from Nottingham. You can get more details and some memorabilia at the gigography entry.
Not the best recording from the tour – the taper was finding his feet a bit I think and it's a bit drum heavy in the mix. But OK.
If you happen to have recollections or alternative recordings of this (or indeed any other Prefab Sprout concert), do please get in touch.

World Water Council to Co-convene a Seminar on Financing Water
The World Water Council will be co-convening a seminar entitled Financing Water Infrastructure for Sustainable Growth during this year's World Water Week in Stockholm.. The seminar, which will take place on Tuesday, 30 August, will share recent developments and discuss options to secure the appropriate level of finance for water infrastructure and water security solutions.
Financing water-related investments is a major challenge for both developed and developing countries, as reiterated at the Third International Conference on Financing for Development (Addis Ababa, 2015). Addressing the risks of too much, too little, too polluted water, deteriorated water ecosystems and lack of access to water supply and sanitation - serving as hindrances to growth and sustainable development - require substantial investments in infrastructure, technology, risk management, knowledge creation, people and partnerships. A new look is required at financing water-related investments, which:
- makes the best use of existing sources of finance through proper project design, planning and sequencing,
- harnesses new sources of finance, such as financial markets, carbon finance, long-term investors, and donor funding, and
- optimizes the risk-return matrix to unlock higher commercial and blended financing.
The seminar will be co-convened by the World Water Council, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment of the Netherlands, the 2030 Water Resources Group, and the Stockholm International Water Institute.

CAN blows hot, reveals what it will do over Kaduna religious bill
The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Kaduna state chapter says it will challenge the legality of the religious bill recently passed by the former State House of Assembly, in court.
The CAN state chairman, Reverend John Joseph Hayab, who spoke on the religious bill to newsman in Kaduna, said, "We are going to court over the illegal action of the former lawmakers in the state who hurriedly signed the Religious Bill into law hurriedly before they left."
He added that Christians in the state would not accept the religious bill passed by the State House of Assembly, even if Governor Nasir El-Rufai assents on it.
According to the Christian body, the bill, which the former lawmakers endorsed before the House of Assembly was dissolved, is a breach of the fundamental rights of all Christians in the state which the constitution guaranteed, and it's being studied for immediate legal action in the court of law.
"I, as the chairman of CAN in the state or any official, was not invited for any preliminary hearing by the State House of Assembly on the bill that the House hurriedly passed before it was resolved. And even the Interfaith Council which they claimed would regulates the activities of Churches and Mosques in the state, most of the members don't understand what Christianity is, let alone regulating our religion.
"They cannot regulate both private and public evangelism of Christians. What is the essence of Christianity if we cannot evangelise both privately and publicly? The law cannot work. We will not accept it," he said.
Besides, Hayab added, "I was in America when the news of the Assembly endorsing the bill was announced. Now that I am back, we are going to challenge the unlawful bill that the people of Kaduna rejected."
He argued, "Even if the Governor assent to the bill, we will challenge its legality. We will not accept anything that would trample on our fundamental rights to worship and evangelise. We will go to court and challenge it.
"And for the sake of religious harmony, the government of Kaduna should avoid anything that will bring disharmony in the state. We have had enough controversies and issues of insecurity. Government should not overheat the polity again."

This model's name is Michelle. I think she started off modeling just for fun.
(I've helped several models with starter modeling portfolios)
Not too long after this session, she started working out vigorously and became a fitness model, entering competitions, etc.
Here are just a few of the images I photographed of Michelle (prior to the guns!).


text: Robert de la Borde comes from the Caribbean to England in the 1980's after hearing that his brother, Jean Marc, has died. In Bristol, his brother's journals prompt Robert to visit the Ashton Park Monastery, which Jean Marc entered in the 1960's as Brother Aelred. There Robert pieces together Jean Marc's life; his exuberance, his mental suffering, and his struggle to balance his sexual impulses with his love of God. As Robert is forced to question his inherited prejudices, what unfolds is a story about the triumph of compassion over brutality. Moving from present to past, from cruelty to sympathy, Aelred's Sin is a powerful new novel of erotic love, spiritual awakening and above all, reconciliation.

About this centre
The Kumon Linlithgow Study Centre opened in 2003, and welcomes students of all ages and abilities from Linlithgow and the surrounding areas.
The unique Kumon Maths and English Programmes pursue the potential of each child by developing confident, independent learners through individualised, advanced study. Kumon should not be considered a traditional tuition provider as, rather than 'teaching' students, we encourage them to become independent learners who feel confident in their own abilities and are able to face unfamiliar work.
The centre focuses on developing excellent study skills as an integral part of the Kumon programmes. Students attend the centre for approximately half-an-hour per subject up to twice a week, and are supported by a team of highly trained and enthusiastic staff.
The Instructor and centre staff have a great deal of experience working with pre-school children as well as older learners; current students at the centre range in age from four to 16 years old. We have a receptionist who gives a warm welcome to students and families, and parents are welcome to wait in the foyer while their children are in class.
To arrange a free assessment for your child or to discuss Kumon, please contact the centre.
My name is Alison Maternaghan and I am the Instructor of the Kumon Linlithgow Study Centre. I recently took over the centre after working there for seven years.
I first started as a class assistant in 2009 at the Linlithgow and Livingston centres whilst still at Linlithgow Academy. I returned to Kumon in 2014 to work full-time as Assistant Manager for Linlithgow and Livingston.
I was now seeing both sides of the business; spending time with students at the classes and keeping busy in the office. The dedication and knowledge that goes in to every class inspired me to learn as much as I could. I was now involved with setting study plans, reviewing completed worksheets, keeping in close contact with parents and much more. I was spending time getting to know all the students and families and also completed Instructor training in London throughout 2016.
It is an incredibly rewarding job and I get so much enjoyment from working with students and helping them gain confidence through studying the Kumon programmes.
I also thoroughly enjoy meeting families and keeping a close relationship with parents to ensure my students always have a study plan that's best for them.
I look forward to welcoming you to my study centre.

Most Popular Questions
Kumon is a self-learning programme but each student receives regular support from their Instructor. The carefully developed worksheets teach students how to find the answer for themselves, whilst their Instructor offers guidance when necessary. The key role of each Kumon Instructor is to observe their students working, making sure that work is set at the right level and that they are developing at the right pace.
Students can start learning with Kumon from age two upwards. We currently have students as young as two years old studying with us, ranging all the way up to those about to go to university; Kumon helps children of any age and any ability. The sooner children begin, the earlier they can start developing skills to gain the greatest cumulative benefit; as soon as you feel your family is ready to make the commitment to long-term study, Kumon will be ready to help you achieve your goal.
Kumon offers much more than tutoring and differs from traditional teaching in the classroom. Rather than preparing children for a particular test or assessment, Kumon empowers students to learn for themselves, through individualised instruction and carefully developed worksheets.
As well as developing key skills in maths and English, each Kumon student will work towards building their independent learning skills and confidence in their own abilities. This means that a Kumon student will not be dependent on – or limited by – the skills and knowledge of others.
As a global programme, Kumon does not follow a school curriculum, but rather is complementary to curricula across the world. The primary aim of the Kumon Method is to develop independent learning skills. These independent learning skills enhance the students' performance right across the school curriculum. Kumon operates at exactly the right level for each student – regardless of their age – ensuring that work set extends and develops their skills, confidence and ability.

November is National Adoption Awareness Month. In the spirit of bringing awareness to adoption, our agency mission and the successes of families we serve — we are filling our blog with guest stories throughout this month. Chrysalis House, Inc. believes in the power of sharing experiences and in learning from the stories of others. We present this series, realizing the words might be the insight that an adoptive family, adoptee or birthparent is searching the internet for!
Our sincerest thanks to the families who have put their lives into words. We are still accepting submissions through the month of November! Please send your submissions to email@example.com.
Please enjoy the story of a family's: Foster Adoption. In the event you wish to discuss our Fost/Adopt program, please contact the office at 559.229.9862.
Gene and I began trying to have children when we were in our mid-twenties. By our early thirties we began to explore adoption. We contracted with an adoption agency and went through all of the class work to the point of developing our birthmother book. At this point, Gene was offered a job outside of the Central Valley, and the agency did not cover the area…
Back to square one!!
We spent a couple of years moving and getting settled, and then started thinking about adoption again. We contacted our local Social Services office, but decided not to pursue That route. More time passed.
In 2006, a close friend adopted two boys from Kazakhstan. We began exploring international adoption which led us to Chrysalis House to perform the home study. When we met Lanny (our social worker), we knew we were in the right place. He was great, and asked us if we had considered domestic adoption. We said yes, but with all of the reservations that exist on that front – Lanny explained to us the options, and we decided to start down that path. This especially became a focus as the international path became more and more complicated. We went through all of the class work again for Chrysalis House, and completed our home study and began to wait for a match. Lanny and Peggy warned us it was a rollercoaster… wow, is it ever! We poured through the profiles and kept trying to make a match. Our first try was with a birthmother who eventually moved out of the area and disappeared.
Then, we made a trip to meet siblings that we felt were not a good match for us. By this time we had almost given up hope and our emotions were in tatters. As this process seems to go, we were only weeks away from our perfect match! Peggy attended a get acquainted picnic and was the first to meet our children, Alexa (then 6) and Davis (then 4). She called us with great excitement and sent their information through. They were beautiful siblings, and although we had almost stopped hoping, a light began to shine through.
We first met Alexa and Davis for pizza, blue jello and a movie. The next weekend we brought them home for a visit, and that visit just never ended! Love at first sight for us, and it seemed to be a good match for all. The hands of fate allowed us to meet these great kids.
We finalized our adoption in June 2007 with all of the Grandparents in attendance, and all of the wonderful people who made the journey with us. We had been married for 21 years, and had begun our adoption journey over 15 years before.
To say having children after so much alone time is an adjustment is an understatement. The first two months I was home from work, and more exhausted than I can ever remember. We went through the holidays, and it was all a happy blur. Now, we are settled into a family life, and it is wonderful!
We are firm believers that your family is out there, and when you find each other you will "know". As we come to our one year "gotcha day" Gene says, we can not
envision our life without our kids. They are joy, love, frustration, and mirth. We think almost daily, "what in the world was life before?"
Now we can only see after and couldn't be a more happy family.
****All family names have been changed to preserve confidentiality.

Some people don't want to hear.I wish it wasn't the case. But it seems to be.There is a man at Edgewood, about whom I've written before, who doesn't have long to live. This past week he learned he has kidney failure, and he has decided not to do anything about it. Our nurse told me people with kidney failure typically live one to three months.My mind went back to the Resident of the Week interview I did with H. I don't remember the question I asked him, but he started telling me that he never really went to church as a kid. That his family wasn't "religious". Then he said, "I don't know why I'm telling you this." I trust it was God, planting a seed in me.A couple days ago H called the office, and I was the one to answer the phone. He just needed help getting a drink out of his refrigerator, so I went up to his apartment. And I trusted this was an opportunity placed in my lap by God, Himself. After I got H his drink, I sat down by his chair. He asked if I had heard 'the news' about his kidneys. We talked about it a bit and then I asked permission to ask him a question. He is a delightful man, and agreed immediately. So I brought up the interview we'd done and asked about his belief in God.H was very clear that "religion" was not part of his up-bringing and therefore has no real meaning to him. He simply was never taught to value spiritual things. In H's mind, religion is a comforter for people, and he said he just never needed the comfort. Besides, he said, he doesn't like the idea that a person should have to choose between heaven and hell. He isn't worried. He knows he's a 'good guy' and is very comfortable with facing death.And that was the gist of our conversation. H was as kind and polite as ever. He acknowledged my faith, and seems to respect it, but thinks he doesn't need it.Even so, he happily agreed to have me pray for him - which I did right there. I prayed then, as I continue to pray now, that God would reveal Himself to H. God knows his heart and He loves H. I know He does! And I am praying God will soften his heart in these final days, that H might be willing to listen. Because it breaks my heart - as I know it breaks HIS - that some people don't want to hear.

I live w/ an H. And it breaks my heart. And what he doesn't understand is how much better OUR lives would be if he would just listen to that voice that I KNOW speaks to him.
Praying for H and for my H and for you. I pray God gives you more chances to witness to him. :o)

I pray God would soften H's heart before it is too late. I ask Jesus to give you more opportunities to witness to H and that He would have ears to hear. Oh please, Jesus!!!

Sample text
The "meta-mimetic" dependence of these dramas on ubiquitous images of the Passion in late medieval Western culture scaffolded, she argues, the evaluation of beauty and the construction of their audiences' individual and collective identities. Like Groeneveld's essay, Deneen Senasi's "Staging Beauty; or, A History of Violence: Rending the Aesthetic in Jeffrey Hatcher's Compleat Female Stage Beauty" also addresses conventions of consumption and assessment of beauty and violence in a theatrical context.
She concludes: "Whenever we allow ourselves to attribute meaning, whether political or spiritual, to the useless suffering of others we behave a bit like public executioners" (19). In speaking about beauty and violence caught in the deadlock of representation and politics, it is next to impossible to avoid contentious issues, and examples such as these raise difficult questions: What is the responsibility of art to the worlds with which it interacts and which it expresses? How does art in general, and beauty in particular, engage with the violence of those worlds, and the violence of its own constitution?
Although taking a very different topic as its object of study, "Environmentality and Air Travel Disasters: Representing the Violence of Plane Crashes" by Chris Schaberg also queries the means by which violence is made intelligible, here moving beyond the intimacy of murder to the broad scope of public disaster. Schaberg draws on modern environmental theories, deploying Arun Agrawal's concept of "environmentality" and Timothy Morton's notion of "the mesh," for instance, to explore the use of figurative language in the accounts of three airplane crashes in 2008 and 2009.
