Matthew 11: 28-30
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
I've been dealing with a lot of internal struggles lately. Really, throughout my recent life, I've had to deal with internal struggles. It's very burdensome sometimes, especially lately. I've come to better appreciate and realize that I cannot handle these burdens on my own.
That's why these verses give me comfort. I don't need to be the only one to bear these burdens. I'm learning more and more that I can offer up my burdens to Christ, whose yoke is easy and burden is light. I relate this back to carrying my cross. Sometimes it feels like my cross grows all the more to the point where it seems absolutely impossible for me to carry it. Yet Christ, if I allow Him, helps me bear that burden. Only then do I find peace and rest.
Lord Jesus Christ, you carried the burden of the sins of the world. Even then, it was not too great for you. Grant me the grace to look towards you when my burdens seem too great. In your name, I pray. Amen.

The Diversity Program held the semesterly Diversity Worship Night last Sunday, April 3, 2016 at 7 p.m. Students gathered as they sang a selection of songs, read scriptures in different languages, and corporately prayed for the persecuted church.
Mark Makkar introduced the hymn "Assalat Arrabaniya," or The Lord's Prayer in Arabic during the worship night. Makkar is a sophomore from Syria.
"It's one of my dad's favorite hymns," Makkar said. "It's also usually the first hymn in most Arabic hymn books." Because his Dad is a pastor, the hymn has been a part of Makkar's childhood. His church's congregation usually sings The Lord's Prayer at the end of the sermon.
"What I love about Arabic hymns is that the [music and beat] takes on the emotions of the lyrics," Makkar said. "The music helps you feel the grief or the joy." Makkar gave examples: songs about Jesus' crucifixion would be really mellow, and songs about Jesus' resurrection would be really upbeat.
Lillian Arjona-Garzon introduced and led a Spanish song, "Creo en ti" ("I Believe in You"). James Taylor, one of the six Diversity Leaders who organized the worship night, included songs such as "Teach Us to Pray" and "The Anthem" that he learned at the Urbana 2015 Missions Conference.
Both Makkar and Taylor said that they loved the song "Teach Us to Pray." The lyric of the song speaks of the persecuted church. The song starts with, "Teach us to pray for our sisters and brothers who suffer to speak Your name / Ravaged by violence, exile, and torture, we will watch and not turn away."
"It's good to know that people are realizing that there's a need to pray corporately," Makkar said. "And that there's a song about it! For people like my parents, it's good to know that people are praying together."
Makkar's parents are currently serving in a disciple-making ministry in Syria.
The theme of the worship night is Persecution and Hope. "I didn't make the theme clear, but all the Bible verses we read had to do with hope, and we had an extensive period of prayer time for the persecuted church," Taylor said. "The prayer time was wonderful."
For the Scripture reading, five different languages were represented.
"I had to ask my mom to take a picture of this passage from her Bible!" Simon Ocailap said, holding his hand-written copy of Psalm 3:2-6 in Runyoro, his mother's local language in Uganda. Ocailap was one of the five students who read the Scripture in their traditional languages.
The worship night closed with "Amazing Grace" sang in Korean, Swahili, Portuguese, and English and the song, "The Anthem."
Taylor said that there could be more publication for the worship night to garner more attendance. "The theme could [also] be made clearer," Taylor said. "Otherwise, I thought it was a great event."

Museum of Grooves
MC (Master Curator) Patrick Vernon is based at space station SS Sankofa which is 200 billion miles from Earth in the NOVA quadrant region in the year 2300. He is the curator and archaeologist at the Museum of Grooves. The Museum was established by the Intergalactic Commission with the objective to preserve aspects of African Diaspora heritage from the 20th century for education and research purposes for humanoids who live off world and have never been to Earth. MC Patrick has been able to restore music from this period based on archaeology research of soul, disco, jazz, house music, techno dub, and funk and left field tracks. The Museum has extensive black heritage collection covering objects, clothing/fashion accessories, prints, and photographic images.The Museum is open to all species and alien life forms who are interested on black history and the existence of black people who lived on Earth prior to WW4.
The museum has been able to restore oral interviews and film footage linked to a specially design interactive holographic images of respondents (each respondent or replicant has a reference number) as part of a database of interviews with people from the 20th Century who have an interesting perspectives (sometimes called opinions) in areas such the arts, music, enterprise, politics and community affairs. Also the interviews are linked to respondent's favourite tracks as part of the archival process to understand thought their processes and contextual meanings of culture and lifestyles. This research information provides listener and visitors rich ethnographic information on social habits of Earth species.
The show is First Tuesday of the Month on Reel Rebel Radio between 8-10pm

Roasting pecans or walnuts is a great idea because it brings out their wonderful flavors and makes everything you use them in better.
But, roasting nuts can be tricky because if you use too high a temperature or roast them too long, the nuts can burn. Been there. Done that.
And, I have tried just about every way there is to roast nuts. Dry skillet. Oven at 400 degrees F. Oven at 350 degrees F. Even the microwave.
I have not been very happy with any of these methods.
But, then recently Rose Levy Beranbaum (author of The Cake Bible and The Pie and Pastry Bible to name a couple of her books) came to my rescue.
She recommends roasting nuts at 325 degree F for ten minutes. Here's how:
- Place the nuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place the sheet in the oven.
- Roast for about five minutes and then open the oven door and shake the baking sheet and move the nuts around.
- Roast for another five minutes.
- Remove the nuts and cool completely. You should smell that wonderful aroma of roasted nuts.
Simple. No burning. Better baked goods.

Arsenal legend Tony Adams admits he is hugely honoured by the club's recent unveiling of a statue of him outside the Emirates, alongside fellow club luminaries Thierry Henry and Herbert Chapman.
The former Arsenal captain's stellar playing career for the Gunners was immortalised in bronze to commemorate the club's 125 year anniversary last week, and while he admits such accolades are normally reserved for the deceased, Adams admits he is thrilled by the lofty compliment.
Adams played over 500 games for Arsenal during his stunning Highbury career that lasted nearly two decades. The tough-tackling centre-half won four league titles with Arsenal and 66 caps for England and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the club's history.
"It's been a year or more now since I found out about the statue. I've been working with the artist, giving him all my dimensions and that, making sure he increases my chest size by a few inches." The Arsenal great told the Daily Telegraph.
"Now it's done, Ray Parlour actually reckons the statue moves quicker than me!
"But seriously, I was thrilled to bits when I heard." The ex-Arsenal skipper told his former Arsenal teammate Alan Smith.
"It's a massive honour to be recognised this way. I know some people think you should be dead before having a statue cast but, without wishing to get too profound, this commemorates a playing career that died a while back."
Adams retired from playing for Arsenal in May 2002 and remains one of the few one-club men in modern football. He made his debut as a 17-year-old, in November 1983 against Sunderland in the First Division. He famously battled alcoholism and drug addiction during his remarkable playing career and founded the Sporting Chance Clinic in 2000 as a result of his well-documented problems.

Reasons to scrap your car
There are a lot of reasons for wanting to scrap an old banger.

If you have a car that is unusable you need to either declare it off road or scrap it, otherwise your will continue to need to pay road tax on the vehicle.
The car scrappage scheme
The car scrappage scheme at first may seem like a great idea. However, you are in fact limited to what type of new car you can get. You can't buy any car, you have to be told a list of possible cars (this changes with each manufacturer). This is can be frustrating for those looking to get themselves a new car as they must buy a car that is currently in the scrappage scheme.

This week has been a tale of three Queensland groups. My first guests were an old uni mate and her husband. She sat down on my deck and made me the most exquisite basket from plants in my garden – wisteria, iris, ferns, gum nuts, kangaroo paws and others. Very hard to photograph.
My second Qld guests (BnB) were a family with two young lads one a very keen fisherman – so out of the car came our young fisherman and said 'hello Beth' – (won my heart immediately) and wanted to know what fish could be caught – I reeled of the possibilities and lastly mentioned the Murray Cod in the context of 'if you are really lucky you might catch a Murray Cod and make the locals jealous'. That night no luck but undeterred our young fisherman was up a 7.30 am and down in the favourite fishing spot below the BnB and yes he caught a Murray Cod. His secret -a cloudy day, much enthusiasm and a spinner.
My last Queenslanders when booking said they wanted to use the barbecue and would bring extra for me. So I fired up the habashi, made the salads and we spent a lovely evening chatting and enjoying the water view.
The BnB is turning out to be a most enjoyable experience.
The Noisy Friar birds have moved on. Our local birds are no longer being tormented and the the town has returned to its quiet and peaceful self.

Stranded refugees taken to Cocos Islands
A group of suspected asylum seekers is expected to arrive at Australia's Cocos Islands today after being rescued from a broken down fishing boat.
62 people were aboard the small boat which broke down in the Indian Ocean north west of Cocos Islands on Wednesday.
It was spotted by Australian search and rescue aircraft yesterday and four merchant ships were diverted to the area.
The ABC has been told there were 14 children on the small boat and they had little food and water.

Contributed by the Fluids Engineering Division of ASME for publication in the JOURNAL OF FLUIDS ENGINEERING. Manuscript received July 14, 2014; final manuscript received October 23, 2014; published online January 20, 2015. Assoc. Editor: Frank C. Visser.
This paper describes the design of a nonaxisymmetric hub contouring in a shroudless axial flow compressor cascade operating at near stall condition. Although an optimum tip clearance (TC) reduces the total pressure loss, further reduction in the loss was achieved using hub contouring. The design methodology presented here combines an evolutionary principle with a three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) flow solver to generate different geometric profiles of the hub systematically. The resulting configurations were preprocessed by GAMBIT© and subsequently analyzed computationally using ANSYSFluent©. The total pressure loss coefficient was used as a single objective function to guide the search process for the optimum hub geometry. The resulting three dimensionally complex hub promises considerable benefits discussed in detail in this paper. A reduction of 15.2% and 16.23% in the total pressure loss and secondary kinetic energy (SKE), respectively, is achieved in the wake region. An improvement of 4.53% in the blade loading is observed. Other complimentary benefits are also listed in the paper. The majority of the benefits are obtained away from the hub region. The contoured hub not only alters the pitchwise static pressure gradient but also acts as a vortex generator in an effort to alleviate the total pressure loss. The results confirm that nonaxisymmetric contouring is an effective method for reducing the losses and thereby improving the performance of the cascade.

That will be an eleven game suspension for ungentlemanlike conduct.
It's the right penalty for a misbehaving hockey dad — and an important warning to other parents who leave their reasonable selves behind as soon as they enter the hockey arena doors.
In December, Thornhill dad Jordan Milberg was banned by the North York Hockey League from attending his son's Vaughan Rangers games after he hurled abusive language at a volunteer rink cashier for refusing to break his $100 bill — and now he's lost his bid for an "urgent injunction" to get back into the stands.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Chris de Sa has dismissed the dad's application against the league — and so Milberg will miss his son's Oshawa tournament as well as 11 regular season games and 21 practices. If he behaves, he can come back for the playoffs at the end of February.
"I was quite surprised when he decided to take it to court," said NYHL chief operating officer Paul Maich, who suspended Milberg. "It was gratifying to see the court support us. The language he used towards a female cashier was extreme. No volunteer should have to put up with that."
Milberg couldn't be reached for comment.
The man's 11-year-old son was playing at Everest Ice Arena in Vaughan where admission to select-level games is $5. According to the judgment,Milberg only had a $100 bill and the cashier refused to accept it. A sign at the cashier's station warned "no $100 bills."
The angry dad confronted the middle-aged woman with "inappropriate and vulgar language calling her a 'f—-ing bitch,'" the judge wrote in his recent ruling. When Milberg started to head inside anyway, she told him he would face a $150 fine if he went any further. At this point, his wife produced a $20 bill and paid for them both.
Milberg wasn't done. When he returned to the area, the cashier took Milberg's photo and told him she planned to report him. He then lost it again and "directed further profanities at the employee. More specifically," the judge said, "(Milberg) called her a 'f—ing c–t.'"
Not okay.
On Dec. 6. of last year, Milberg received an email from the Vaughan Rangers president informing him that he wasn't to enter any arena where the NYHL was playing until further notice. Two days later, he was asked to come to Maich's office to discuss the episode.
According to the ruling, Milberg admitted using "obscene and offensive language." He apologized — but then insisted his behaviour had been provoked by the cashier's "unreasonable conduct." So not really an apology after all. "He thought saying sorry would make it all go away," Maich recalled in an interview.
He told Milberg that after consulting with others in the league, he'd decided to suspend him for the regular season.
"Nobody should call a woman those names, and especially not in a children's hockey situation," Maich insisted. "We had to make the point that we can't put up with it and the staff need to know we don't abandon them."
"I was less severe than I might have been," he added. "There were others who said they would have suspended him for the year. But I let him come back for the playoffs. That's one of the joys of taking your kid to hockey."
The guy should have taken his lumps for his embarrassing conduct. Instead, he hired a lawyer.
Milberg went to court to have his suspension overturned as procedurally unfair: his lawyer argued there was no meaningful hearing or avenue of appeal. The court heard that if he was banned from attending the tournament, his son would be "devastated" and the suspension had already severely impacted on his child's morale.
Which is unfortunate, but who's fault is that?
De Sa dismissed the dad's injunction application, saying there was no basis to interfere with a league sanction that was clear and not malicious or arbitrary.
"The decision to suspend was directly related to the Applicant's rude and vulgar remarks to the attendant." the judge ruled.
And because of his abysmal behaviour, his son will have to look into the stands in vain for his dad.

Dangerous drug linked to Kinsale deaths
GARDAÍ HAVE appealed to anyone who may have obtained a new and highly dangerous form of ecstasy linked to the deaths of two young men in Co Cork to contact them immediately and also to seek medical assistance if they have consumed the drug.
Supt Eddie MacEoin, who is leading the investigation into the deaths of Michael Coleman (22) and Liam Coffey (22) from a suspected drugs overdose in Kinsale last weekend, yesterday appealed to anyone who has obtained any quantity of the drug to contact them.
"We would appeal to anyone who got this drug which we believe may be linked to the tragedy in Kinsale to contact us in confidence. We will deal with them fairly but our main concern is to try and get this drug off the streets," he said.
Supt MacEoin confirmed that an ounce of the drug, which is brown in colour, is selling for about €1,500 and other sources have confirmed to The Irish Times that a typical deal consists of a gramme or "bomb" of the substance, which sells for about €80.
The Irish Times has learned that gardaí are satisfied both Mr Coleman and Mr Coffey obtained the drugs from a drug dealer in the Wilton area of Cork city at about 4pm on Saturday before travelling to Mr Coleman's rented house in Kinsale.
Gardaí are remaining tight-lipped about their investigation but are satisfied that they have traced the supply line back four levels after arresting and questioning three men and a woman about supplying the drug to the two dead men.
It is understood gardaí examined mobile phone records, text messages and CCTV footage in the investigation, which led them to raid a house in the Roman Street area of Cork's northside on Sunday where they seized a quantity of the drug.
All four people have been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the DPP.
However, analysis of the drug revealed that it contained both ecstasy or methylamphetine (MDMA) and paramethoxymethamphetamine (PMMA).
Confirmation of the chemical composition of the drug prompted HSE South to issue a warning to drug users as well as alerting medical professionals and community and voluntary groups working with drug users in the region about the dangers of this synthetic substance.
Meanwhile, consultant in emergency medicine at the Mercy University Hospital, Dr Chris Luke, warned that the taking of potentially deadly new forms of drugs is posing a huge challenge for medical personnel.
"Ever since the head shop episode in 2010, we've seen an explosion in the number of novel recreational drugs and molecules being created – many of them coming from China and eastern Europe and our laboratories just can't keep up with identifying them.
"The result is that it's almost impossible for doctors and nurses to know what's in someone's system when they arrive into the emergency department.
"There are so many chemicals we cannot test for so we end up treating the effects.
"If someone has a seizure, we treat that. If someone has a stroke, we treat that. If someone has high blood pressure, we treat that," Dr Luke said.

(BOSTON) — Due to a technicality, a man caught taking pictures up women's skirts on a public transit system won't face punishment after the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Michael Robertson did not violate state law.
He was initially charged under a Massachusetts law that prohibits people from intentionally and secretly photographing people who are nude or partly nude without their permission in a setting where they should reasonably expect privacy.
However, Robertson was exonerated in the upskirting case because the women he photographed were neither nude nor partially nude.
The high court's ruling was unanimous in spite of what many argue is a loophole in the law that was enacted before the proliferation of phones that can take photographs in virtually every situation.
State lawmakers are expected to work on legislation that catches up with modern technology to prevent upskirting and other so-called invasions of privacy.

What does message > passing have to do with variable assignment? > thanks, ke han The things listed in the Erlang book about the process dictionary apply equally to message passing. - if a computation is rolled back by a catch, messages sent during that computation cannot be rolled back - if functions send messages (have side effects), the order in which functions are called can become very important. - understanding a single function is much easier if it only depends on the input arguments, and not on message passing inside the function. Without side-effects, you know that the function will always return the same result each time it's called with a given set of arguments - regardless of timing issues. - verifying code that doesn't have side-effects is also much easier, as the state space is radically reduced. This is related to the previous point. In general, it's a very good idea to isolate all side-effects as much as possible, and to keep them clearly separated from the code that can be side-effect free. /Uffe

Fire safety
Date: 17th Jun 2017 @ 9:10pm
Class Four were visited by the Cheshire Fire Safety team on Friday, who gave a very helpful talk about staying safe if a fire starts in your home.
From disucssing smoke alarms and how to test them, to planning sensible escape routes, they were all brilliant listeners and participants in the talk. This was commented upon by the Fire Officer, who found them polite and attentive.
I am also glad to say that many of them went home and continued their discussions and shared what they had learned with their parents.

"Driving force"-dependent block in the inward rectifier K+ channel
Ion channels are protein pores allowing specific ions to pass through cell membrane to maintain resting membrane potential, or to generate various physiological electrical signals. The inward rectifier K+ channel (Kir channel) is noted for the strong inward rectification, which means the K+ ions flow much more easily in the inward direction than in the outward direction (Fig.1).
This fascinating phenomenon had been observed in starfish eggs in 1976, later in the human heart and nerve cells, and also in the cloned Kir channels after the 1990s in the molecular era. Physiologists have known that the inward rectification can be observed when the positively charged blockers, such as Mg2+ and polyamines, are present in the intracellular solutions. However, the molecular scenario underlying the rectification remains as an interesting topic. Researchers from Taiwan proposed a novel biophysical mechanism based on their delicate experiments on the cloned Kir2.1 channel, published in the journal Biophysical Chemistry. They demonstrated that the steep changes in the apparent affinity of the blockage near the reversal potential (the voltage at which the net K+ current is zero and changes its direction) actually result from the flux-coupling effect by the conducting K+ ion on the blocker along the narrow long pore. This study may represent an advance in understanding of how the nanoscale Kir channel pore utilizes the thermodynamic "driving force" to regulate electrical signal.
The driving force for ion conduction across the channels is a collective tendency resulting from both the concentration difference and the electrical voltage difference across the cell membrane. Macroscopically, diffusion is the net transport of small particles, such as K+ ions, from the area of high to low concentration. Microscopically, each ion is randomly pushed by the surrounding water molecules due to thermal motion, and just jiggles independently without a specific direction. In the presence of the voltage difference across the membrane, the diffusion of the positively charged K+ ions is counteracted by the electrical forces; the process is called electrodiffusion. The direction of the net ion flux is determined by the driving force, which is the difference of the membrane voltage from the reversal potential. The driving force for electrodiffusion is equivalent to the electrochemical potential difference across the membrane.
Why does the Kir channel have strong inward rectification while other K+ channels lack this feature? The key to answer this question lies in the structure-function relationship of this channel. Previous X-ray structural studies have revealed that the Kir2.1 channel has a narrow long cytoplasmic pore structure, which extends the single-file K+ ion pathway more than 30 Å beyond the 12 Å length evolutionary reserved selectivity filter. Several K+ ions can reside simultaneously along the cytoplasmic pore in the Kir2.1 channel. The diffusion or electrodiffusion in this narrow long pore is special because the movement between ions is not independent. The flux-coupling effect can occur in a single-file, multi-ion pore, which means the ions cannot pass over each other and have to line up and move concertedly.
As Dr. Chi-Pan Hsieh and colleagues propose in their paper, when the driving force is negative, the predominantly inward K+ ion flux exert the coupling effect on the intracellular blocking ion, and prevent the blocker to bind onto the deeper binding site within the channel pore. When the driving force favors outward conduction, the blocker can be coupled by the outward K+ flux, and reach the binding site to occlude the K+ current (Fig.2). As a result, inward rectification can be recorded in the current-voltage curve in Kir channels in the voltage-clamp study. More interestingly, the authors show that the "driving force"-dependence block, and thus the flux-dependent inward rectification, can be demonstrated even in the presence of the concentration gradient alone, when there is no voltage difference across the membrane.
Thus, the "thermodynamic driving force" can exert real directional impact on the ion movement in the single-file, multi-ion pore. The entropic tendency for electrodiffusion in the nanoscale channel can be harnessed for regulating physiological signals. In this regard, the physical mechanism underlying the rectification of Kir channels is reminiscent of the rectifier in the electrical circuit and in Feynman's imaginary Brownian ratchet.

"Well, my real working used to be to carry around a small sketchbook and make studies from various things I saw, but in time I got interested only in a few subjects and I didn't want to go around looking for any more subjects. The problem was to do the one subject, and so it practically boiled down to that. By one subject I mean ... people."
- Ian Fairweather 1965
As Ian Fairweather's work developed it grew more summary and monumental, giving way to symbolic abstraction. Style and subject became unified, his final works increasingly painterly and meditative, with a profound influence on younger abstract artists in Sydney in particular.

Just not fitting in
I sat there thinking, I could write twenty blog posts on all this goodness...where will I even start in sharing how powerful this weekend is?
Now that a few days have gone by, I know where to start. One truth keeps popping up in my mind. Among the hundred points Beth made, this one felt very relatable:
"Our lives feel like a squirming concoction of misfit parts."
She said that. She elaborated then, explaining that no matter who we are, or who we are with, we usually feel like we don't quite fit in. We feel like the odd one. We feel unhappy. Uncomfortable. We search and strain for more happiness and more comfort and more acceptance. But we never seem to achieve perfect equilibrium.
Let's take it down to me, personally.
My heart is always conflicted. I am a beautiful combination of strengths and weaknesses, flaws and gifts. I know I have God-given potential, but I'm held back by my brokenness. I want to serve God. I want to love others. But no matter how perfect I want to be, I never am. I make mistakes every single day. Sometimes I'm so keenly aware how far away from perfect I am that I feel defeated and exhausted.
Beth pointed out that humanity's very creation was conflicted: we are a handful of dust mixed with a handful of holy.
When I think of my social circles, I too can relate to what she said; I usually don't feel like I fit in, no matter the group. I'm the serious one who isn't that fun. Or the spiritual one to whom they can't relate. Or the older one. Or the one who doesn't like sushi. Or the conservative one. The one who can't afford it. The one with kids. The one who doesn't go to PTA meetings.
Lots of times, I don't even really "fit" with my husband. I could come up with lots of ways we don't work well together. I'm sure all of us could make a list of those things about our marriages. There are reasons I feel like I don't fit in my church's women's ministry. And my group of friends. And my extended family.
On the surface, you'd never know. You'd think I fit in just perfectly. But on the inside, where no one can see, I am a perpetual black sheep.
And what Beth said next sort of floored me. Despite our constant efforts to find a comfortable spot in this world, Jesus will NEVER let us fully find it. He will not solve all our squirminess. He will not make our marriages perfectly happy. He will not heal all our relationships and allow us to feel perfectly accepted.
Because we don't belong here. We were never meant to. And so in some ways, He will let us squirm.
Jesus wants me to know deep down that my home, my comfort, my soul's longing to fit somewhere will never be satisfied on this earth. He wants me to long for heaven.
And oh, how I do.
As negative as this whole post is sounding, isn't it sort of freeing? Like I can stop working so hard at smoothing out all the wrinkles in my life. I can accept some of the squirming as not only normal, but tolerable. And ordained, for my own good. A reminder of where I need to keep my eyes focused.
Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.
Phil 3:17-21
Friends, it is at best an illusion and at worst deception straight from hell that you can find or achieve lasting happiness here on earth. We can have joy, certainly, knowing that our hope is independent of our circumstances. But happiness is fleeting, and our lives will always feel like a squirming concoction of misfit parts.
Can you find some rest in that truth? Can you too let go of some of the striving in your life to make all the pieces fit together?
I hope so. Praying we all can find some rest in knowing this is not our home, be a little more content with the squirming and the conflict, and know the Lord is our Shepherd, even though this flock is full of black sheep.

This is something I always struggle with, too. I always just assumed there was something wrong with me or that I just wasn't as "normal" as everyone else, because I always feel left out. I never thought about it this way. Thank you so much for sharing! It makes me feel a lot more confident in who God created me to be and what He wants me to truly care about :) xoxoReplyDelete
Freeing. Yes, this post definitely is freeing to me. Revolutionary actually. To think that I don't need to keep striving for perfect? Because perfect will be in heaven, and if I live for Him, I will reach Heaven eventually....love it. Thank you so much for writing this post. I'll be saving this to look back at. Thank you, thank you, thank you.ReplyDelete
Wow! Thank you for sharing this with us. This is right where I am at too and just what I needed to hear before I set out for my day with the events I have going on. I feel like I can breath a little better keeping this big picture in mind. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Girl, we could be really good friends. Where you describe where you don't fit in because you feel as the boring one, or the conservative one and not fitting in with even your husband - really? there is someone else out there with those same feelings as me!!ReplyDelete
I always want to be more like everyone else to fit in, but isn't that sad?
I am learning that His grace is enough. I'm slowly getting there, but you wrote it out so well, that it makes so much sense.
Oh girl! I seriously LOVE how you presented this. And I can just HEAR Beth Moore saying it too. I went to her Live Simulcast in September, she is awesome! I feel.just.like.you. Never quite fitting in anywhere. But at the same time, I'm becoming more ok with that. Because really- who wants to "fit in" with this crazy world!? Love your words and Love YOU! So wishing California and Arkansas were just a little closer:) Happy Wednesday friend!ReplyDelete
And this perfectly sums up how most of us feel. Always awkward, never quite like the perfect puzzle piece to finish the picture. Because we truly were made for more, and the trick is to take those awkward feelings and replace them with that truth: I feel this way because God has a better home for me, that is just my spirit longing for his more in my life. I need that reminder nearly every single day.ReplyDelete
And p.s. I don't go to PTA meetings either and I've never liked sushi. How about we just be awkward together?
Leslie this spoke straight to me. You described me in all you said about yourself. And it is such a great reminder that we aren't made for here. I always think of Mercy Me's "homesick" song. There are days where I am truly homesick and long for us all to be together and free of all the ick that's here. Love your heart so.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/17/12, 2:46 PM
Wow. I've been struggling with this for years, but it's gotten worse recently. Thank you for reminding me that this life on earth is only temporary and I'm meant to feel this way. Definitely something to think about and remember each day...ReplyDelete
Boy did I need to read this, this week. Thank you!ReplyDelete
this is such an uncomfortably comfortable Truth from the Lord. i'm always amazed at how the Lord uses Beth to really nail home uncomfortable things, to make them comfortable and hopeful because Jesus is our comfort and our hope! thank you God! so beautiful!ReplyDelete
Beautiful post. Love the line - we are a handful of dust mixed with a handful of holy.ReplyDelete
One of my favorite posts of yours ever. Love. Love. Love.ReplyDelete
I love you and you bless me. That's all.ReplyDelete
this is an amazing description of how i feel on a daily basis.ReplyDelete
in fact, i was just telling my husband this very thing tonight.
thank you for sharing this Truth, and encouraging me that it's ok to not fit in.
love this and your heart to share.
oh my goodness.ReplyDelete
"Sometimes I'm so keenly aware how far away from perfect I am that I feel defeated and exhausted".
this is me almost every single day.
and i, too, often times feel like i don't fit in.. and i have not, for the life of me, figured out why.. or why i can't seem to MAKE myself fit in.
and now i know differently.
thank you so much, i really needed to hear this tonight.
tomorrow is a new day.
Hi, I really enjoy your blog. I found you through your mentoring post on Casey Wiegands page. I also went to a Beth Moore conference that was Simulcast in Reading. I wrote about it here. http://whereiamnowaryee.blogspot.com/2012/10/beth-moore-conference.htmlReplyDelete
God has really spoke to me through her Bible Studies.
Keep doing what you are doing. I think it is really special :)

350.org is building a global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis. Our online campaigns, grassroots organizing, and mass public actions are led from the bottom up by thousands of volunteer organizers in over 188 countries.
350 means climate safety. To preserve our planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 392 parts per million to below 350 ppm. But 350 is more than a number—it's a symbol of where we need to head as a planet. 350.org works hard to organize in a new way—everywhere at once, using online tools to facilitate strategic offline action. We want to be a laboratory for the best ways to strengthen the climate movement and catalyze transformation around the world.
We operate at a large scale to take on the world's greatest challenge. In October of 2009 we coordinated 5200 simultaneous rallies and demonstrations in 181 countries, what CNN called the 'most widespread day of political action in the planet's history.' On 10/10/10, we organized a day of climate solutions projects--from solar panel installations to community garden plantings--and changed communities from the bottom up with over 7,000 events in 188 countries. And at the end of last year, we coordinated a climate art project so large it had to be photographed from a satellite in outer space.
In 2011, we are building people power in every corner of the planet. With a huge mobilization planned for September and a series of bold campaigns in strategic countries around the world, we've got big plans. With the help of millions of people, we'll create a wave a hard-hitting climate activism all over the world that can lead to real, lasting, large-scale change.
We think we can turn the tide on the climate crisis--but only if we work together. If an international grassroots movement holds our leaders accountable to realities of science and principles of justice, we can realize the solutions that will ensure a better future for all.
"Climate change is a reality. Caused by us all, it is a cultural, social and economic problem and must move beyond scientific debate. Cape Farewell is committed to the notion that artists can engage the public in this issue, through creative insight and vision. The Arctic is an extraordinary place to visit. It is a place in which to be inspired, a place which urges us to face up to what it is we stand to lose."
David Buckland, 2007
Cape Farewell pioneers the cultural response to climate change.
Working internationally, we bring artists, scientists and communicators together to stimulate the production of art founded in scientific research. Using creativity to innovate, we engage artists for their ability to evolve and amplify a creative language, communicating on a human scale the urgency of the global climate challenge.
The way that we live our lives has caused the climate to change and the solution to a potentially devastating reality has become a cultural challenge. Cape Farewell asks the best of our creative minds to respond to this challenge and to build a vision for a sustainable future.
Cape Farewell employs artists and creative thinkers at its operational core. We employ people who are prepared for no one day to be the same as the next, but who are also able to help develop and drive a strategy allowing us to manage a wide range of activities in a sustainable and effective way.

Nearly 1000 businesses signed The Copenhagen Communiqué making it the definitive progressive business statement on climate change – sign up now to The Cancun Communiqué, which sets out the case for action on climate change with renewed urgency.
Download the Cancun Communiqué
There is a growing movement of major international businesses in support of ambitious international action on climate change. These businesses realise that a strong and effective international climate framework is essential to allow the global private sector to respond to the threat of climate change and make the most of its opportunities.
Since 2007 an increasing number of these businesses have signed a joint statement in advance of the annual UN climate change summits. These communiqués synthesise key thinking from the business community and aim to expand the political space and build the momentum for progress in the international negotiations.
Progress so far...
The Bali, Poznan and Copenhagen Communiqués have all gained global press coverage, seized the attention of key decision makers and contributed to the dialogue within the international climate negotiations. They have, amongst other things, reinforced the message to governments that a large part of the international business community wants a strong and effective international climate framework.
Despite the best hopes and efforts of many, a comprehensive and ambitious international agreement on climate change was not secured in Copenhagen, and progress on this front is more urgent than ever. But the authors of the Cancun Communiqué believe that this is not sufficient.
This year, the Cancun Communiqué on Climate Change sets out a definitive statement of what the business community expects from the Conference of the Parties 16 (COP16) in Cancun. But it also urges governments to take a number of key strategic actions locally, nationally and regionally to move the world close to the low-carbon transition that is required.
We expect to deliver the Cancun Communiqué with the support of more than 1000+ companies from across the globe, with every G20 country represented and many more.

My sister-in-law gave me a catchup DVD with the first six episodes of season 4 last night and although bleary eyed, I watched five of them (well 4.75 really as I fell asleep on the sofa). I watched the remaining 1.25 episodes today and I have to say, although still a big fan, I am completely 'LOST'!
Season 1 to 3 kept doing flashbacks to the past lives of the survivors. Season 4 is zipping to the future lives of 6 survivors who managed to escape 'The Island' and although I'm still interested, I fear they will run out of plausible interesting viewing material soon. I miss The Sopranos too! Does anybody know what's happening on Eastenders? What's your theory on 'LOST'? - Explain all, enlighten me in a comment below!

Ingrowing Toe Nail
Ingrown toenail or "onychocryptosis" is a commonly encountered problem. It frequently affects teenagers or young people in their twenties. Patients usually complain of pain at the onset but quite frequently infection complicates the problem.
Antibiotics are important to clear infected cases and proper nail care must be emphasized to all patients. Excision of the nail is useful to get rid of the problem but can be frustrating to both patient and physician as recurrence of the ingrowing nail is common.
Wedge excision with ablation of the underlying nail matrix is a very successful technique for treating ingrown toenails. By limiting the excision to the lateral fourth of the nail, more of the nail is preserved and better cosmesis is achieved. Ablation of the lateral nail matrix is the most important part of the procedure. Failure to completely remove the lateral nail matrix will lead to the lateral part of the nail regrowing under the lateral nail fold and hence causing the problem to recur.
Technique for excision of an ingrowing toe nail
Aseptic techniques should be used and universal precautions should be adhered to.
Figure 1.
Figure 2.
Local anesthetic should be infiltrated on both sides of the toe. 2 to 3mls of a 1% Lignocaine solution on either side should be sufficient to provide adequate anaesthesia.
Figure 3.
After testing to ensure that the anaesthetic as taken effect, a tourniquet is applied to secure a bloodless operating field. A sterile rubber band can be used , alternatively, the cut off fingertip of a sterile glove as in this picture.
Figure 4.
By using a pair of scissors or a scalpel, a wedge excision of the outer one fourth of the nail plate can be done. This excision should be continued from the tip of the nail down to the nail fold.
Figure 5.
The nail plate is then securely gripped and avulsed with a simple twisting motion. If avulsion is incomplete, care must be taken to regrasp and completely remove the remaining nail plate under the nail fold.
Figure 6.
Care should be taken to excise the nail bed and ablate the nail matrix by using a small curette. Adequate analgesia is important to ensure patient comfort at this stage.
Figure 7.
Be sure to remove the tourniquet!!
Figure 8.
A nice firm bandage is applied taking care not to compromise the circulation.
Post op advice for patients

Coalition Emerges to Oppose Internet Censorship Bill
Dozens of Groups Share NY Times & LA Times Concerns with PIPA
WASHINGTON - Reflecting the growing concern over Sen. Leahy's Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA), dozens of organizations now oppose the legislation. This comes amid new criticism over PIPA's censorship provisions from the New York Times and Los Angeles Times editorial boards. Both publications questioned the overly broad scope of the bill in editorials last week.
PIPA would give the government the power to force Internet service providers, search engines, and other "information location tools" to block users' access to sites that have been accused of copyright infringement — initiating a China-like censorship regime here in the United States.
More than 350,000 people have signed Demand Progress's petitions against PIPA and the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act -- an earlier version of the same bill. Over 50,000 members emailed their lawmakers last week to demand that they join Senator Wyden in opposing the bill. And more than 6,000 Demand Progress members have called their lawmakers to urge them to oppose PIPA.
Aaron Swartz, Demand Progress Executive Director stated: "Increasingly, ordinary Americans realize how vital a free-flowing Internet is for their daily interactions, free expression, and America's economic future. The business interests pushing Leahy's Internet censorship bill have gone too far and are now galvanizing the opposition to PIPA."
The following organizations oppose the current version of PIPA:

MC4 Female Connectors (Positive +)
- Product Code: MC4-Female
- Availability: In Stock
MC4 connectors are single-contact electrical connectors commonly used for connecting solar panels. The MC4 and compatible products are universal in the solar market today, equipping almost all solar panels produced since about 2011.
The MC4 system consists of a plug and socket design. Oddly, the plugs and sockets are placed inside plastic shells that appear to be the opposite gender - the plug is inside a cylindrical shell that looks like a female connector but is referred to as male, and the socket is inside a square probe that looks male but is electrically female. The female connector has two plastic fingers that have to be pressed toward the central probe slightly to insert into holes in the front of the male connector. When the two are pushed together, the fingers slide down the holes until they reach a notch cut into the side of the male connector, where they pop outward to lock the two together.

SYDNEY, N.S. — A second half offensive storm carried the Halifax Hurricanes past the Cape Breton Highlanders 108-104 in a Sunday matinee game at Centre 200.
After limiting the visitors to just 13 first quarter points, the host Highlanders took their halftime break with a 17-point lead in the NBL Canada match.
However, the Hurricanes stunned the crowd of 1,205 with a huge third quarter during which they outscored Cape Breton 41-19 before holding on to claim victory over their Nova Scotia rivals.
Billy White led Halifax with 33 points and 11 rebounds, both game-highs, as he played all but four minutes of the 48-minute contest. Mike Poole came off the bench and made the most of his 18 minutes of court time by netting 25 points.
Chris Braswell scored 22 points to lead the Highlanders, while Rick Bodiford and Bruce Massey Jr. each contributed 17 points.
The Highlanders took to the court without the popular Duke Mondy, who has left the team after securing a contract with the Texas Legends of the NBA G League. The Legends are the farm team of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, while the 26-team G League is the NBA's official development league.
Arguably the Highlanders' best player, Mondy averaged 19 points, four rebounds and five assists per game.
"Losing top players to other leagues happens frequently in the NBLC and it's always bitter-sweet," Highlanders president and general manager Tyrone Levingston said in a release.
"We're happy for Duke to have such an opportunity to grow as a player, but it's a tough adjustment for our team. Nonetheless, I'm confident that we have a cohesive team enhanced with our recent newcomers to round out the roster and finish the season strong."
The Highlanders (11-16) were also without Kevin Loiselle, who was released last week. Newcomer Cordell Jeanty, a league veteran, signed with Cape Breton and played five minutes of Sunday's game.
The Highlanders are back in action on Friday when they once again host the Atlantic Division-leading Hurricanes (17-9). Tipoff is 7 p.m.
Cape Breton then wraps up its three-game home-stand with a match on Sunday against Charlottetown's Island Storm (11-16).
The Highlanders play their final match of the 40-game 2017-18 regular season on April 1 in Saint John.

Bronze Age burials at Inverness Asda site
A Bronze Age burial site has been uncovered at the planned location of the Highlands' first Asda supermarket.
Archaeologists found an area of cremation pits surrounded by a ring ditch at Slackbuie, in Inverness.
Almost 2,000 flints were also recovered from the field on the city's distributor road.
Pieces of Neolithic pottery known as Unstan Ware were also discovered during digs led by Edinburgh-based NG Archaeology Services.
The details are contained in an interim report following excavations made last November through to May this year as part of the store's planning process.
A full report will be published later.
The finds are similar in date to others made along what is known as the Culduthel ridge.
Unstan Ware takes its name from the cairn of Unstan on Orkney where large quantities of the pottery style were discovered during its excavation in 1858.
Asda plans to build a superstore and filling station.
The outline planning application was called in by Scottish ministers and given consent following a public inquiry.
Last year, Highland Council dropped plans to take the Scottish government to court for allowing Asda to build a store without paying anything towards necessary road improvements.
To avoid further lengthy delays to its plans, Asda struck a deal with the local authority limiting to £1.5m the cost it would pay for road upgrading at the Inshes roundabout and A9 interchange, if the work was needed.
On the finds made at Slackbuie, a spokeswoman said: "Asda has satisfied all the conditions regarding the archaeological survey and is now free to continue with our planning proposals for a supermarket at Slackbuie, Inverness.
"We are confident that we have removed all items of interest but we will continue to work closely with the Highland Council's archaeology department in case of any future finds."

The venerable SlashDot had a post the other day about Windows Media Center Edition vs. The World Surprisingly no mention of byopvr though =(
"sam_christ writes "An article in today's Investor's Business Daily (Google cache) and an article by TV industry pundit/predictions-huckster Philip Swann say the same thing: that Microsoft's Media Center Edition will be a big flop in 2005. Meanwhile, from what I can tell much more powerful alternatives to Microsoft's MCE bloatware are thriving: commercial products like Snapstream (see their 6-tuner Medusa PVR built for about $1200), Showshifter and open-source freeware like Mediaportal and MythTV. From what I've read about Microsoft MCE and all of its DRM and content restrictions, I have to agree with both of these articles."
Some excellent comments if you sift through the chaffe of /. to find it regarding why the Windows Media Center Edition 2005 DRM and DRM in general is a bad idea (for consumers).

Not To Be Mistaken For A Cute Little XboxReviewing: Western Digital Wd3200i032 | Rating:
Along with the USB flash drive would come the external hard drive - a useful piece of techology (although heavier than a flash drive due to its larger size than that of flash drives) that, not unlike the flash drive, gives you a set amount of storage (measured in bytes - kilo, mega, giga and so forth) capacity for the purpose of - of course - saving/storing your files! At first, I was a bit skeptical during the point in which I wasn't really aware of what exactly an external hard drive was, but as you can see, I've been very satisfied with what it can do and it's promising durabilty (this one in particular) - all in the convenience of a fairly small "tower".
*Instantly connects with your computer therefore allowing access to files (as well as adding more, deleting, moving and whatnot)
*As previously mentioned, it's fairly small and it comes with a cool-looking green light that's behind a design of a circle in the center part of the front interface
*You won't even need to go through the hassle of unplugging it just to shut it off "properly" - all you gotta do is simply leave it connected to the computer at all times, and once you shut off the computer, the hard drive itself will turn off, as opposed to staying on given that it's AC-outlet powered
*Comes with everything you need in order to get started right away
*Nice and simple for those who are only looking to have their files stored for back-up purposes, or whatever the case may be
*First off, this doesn't go to say that it's "fat" - perhaps could have been a little more thinner, although this isn't much of an issue to me at all whatsoever
Ultimately, I'm glad I decided to try out one of these courtesy of Western Digital once I stepped into that Staples store, and just happened to pass by a section containing these items. Again, if you're looking for simple, highly convenient storage, then shooting for one of these would definitely leave anyone with a feeling of satisfaction. I'd highly recommend this to absolutely anyone - even to someone who doesn't even know what a computer is!
