Well, as we said this morning, we're going to continue in our study tonight of glorifying the Lord, moving from one level of glory to the next and bringing honor to His name. For those of you who weren't with us this morning, we are just doing a one-day sort of two-part look at how we as believers glorify God. That, of course, is the most important thing that we can do. We were saved to bring glory to the Lord. There are some very practical ways in which we accomplish that by His power.
And this morning we started out by saying we glorify the Lord by aiming our life at that purpose. First Corinthians 10:31 says,"Whatever you do, whether you eat or drink, do all to the glory of God." The most mundane and simplest thing that we do in life is to be done to God's glory as well as the most spiritual and the most devout expression of Christian faith and truth. Everything in our lives is to be aimed at the glory of God. And that means we prefer Him and His Kingdom above everything else. We're content to do His will no matter what the price and we suffer when He suffers and we are content to be outdone by others as long as He receives the glory.
And then secondly we said, this morning, that we glorify God by confessing sin. When we confess our sin, take responsibility for our evil, our wickedness, our violation of God's law, our disobedience, when we take responsibility for that and God chastens us, then He appears rightly to be just and holy and do what is to be done for a holy God should indeed have a holy reaction against sin. And if He chooses not to chasten but to be gracious, then He receives glory for being gracious to one who is so utterly unworthy.
So, we glorify God by aiming our life at that focus and we glorify God by confessing our sin. Those were the things we looked at this morning and I don't want to take the time to go into them in any more depth than that. If you want to get the full richness and range of those two points, get the tape from this morning and I think your heart will be blessed. And it's a vital and very important foundational study for your own Christian growth.
But let's move to another point tonight, a third point. We glorify God by trusting Him...we glorify God by trusting Him. If indeed in our lives we are to glorify God moving from one level of glory to the next and becoming more and more like the very one we worship, the God we adore revealed to us in the face of Jesus Christ, then we're going to bring Him glory when we trust Him. We honor Him by trusting Him. It's a very simple principle. If I say that I respect my father, if I say that I respect and honor and highly regard my mother and demonstrate in the way I live that I have no regard for their word, that I don't trust what they say, then you can question the legitimacy of my respect. If on the other hand I have tremendous trust in my parents, if I have tremendous trust in their integrity and in their wisdom and their decisions and their leadership in my life and I follow that leadership, then I am affirming my trust without any equivocation.
The same thing is true in the Christian's experience. If we say God is worthy to be believed in, He is worthy to be trusted and we demonstrate that we don't trust Him, question what He does, doubt and fear and dismay and sometimes sorrow and worry and anxiety characterize our lives, then people should have a right to say,"Well if you trust God so much, why do you live in doubt? Why do you live in fear? Why do you live in anxiety? If God is who you say He is, shouldn't He be trusted?" So again, we will bring honor to God by our trust. We will truly say that we see the glory of God when we trust God.
Let me give you an illustration of that as we've done in each case. Turn to Romans chapter 4. And as we've said all along, there are a number of illustrations of each of these point, I'm trying to pick out one that is some way or other unforgettable. And in Romans chapter 4 we come across the wonderful account reiterated of Abraham and Sarah and the promise and the fulfillment of the birth of Isaac. Now you remember the story, I think, that God had promised to Abraham that he would have a seed. In fact, his progeny would be so prolific that they could be numbered according to Genesis chapter 12 as the stars of the heavens or the sands of the sea. And we now know that there is probably some equality in those two, maybe there are as many stellar bodies as there are grains of sand. It's far more vast then we could ever imagine.
The unaccountable stars and the unaccountable grains of sand on the seas of the world were what the Lord selected to illustrate the vastness of the seed that would come from the loins of Abraham. God made that promise. However, by the time Abraham reached 100 years of age and his wife, Sarah, reached the age of 96, they had absolutely no children. Sarah's womb was dead and they had no fulfillment of the promise.
But in spite of that, I want you to look at Romans chapter 4 and verse 18. This is what it says about Abraham. "In hope against hope, in hope which made no sense from a human perspective, he believed. He believed in order that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, so shall your descendants be." When it made no sense to believe, he believed. When it made no sense to hope, he hoped. In fact, in verse 17 he believed even God who gives life to the dead could call into being that which doesn't exist, that God had the power to do what seemed humanly impossible. He believed that if God said you're going to have descendants, that he would have descendants. And verse 19 says, "Without becoming weak in faith, he contemplated his own body now as good as dead since he was about 100 years old and the deadness of Sarah's womb."
From a human perspective it just wasn't going to happen. Yet with respect to the promise of God, verse 20 says, "He did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith." And what did that do? Giving...what?...glory to God. "In being fully assured...verse 21 says...that what He had promised He was able also to perform. Therefore that faith was reckoned to him as righteousness."
It was that very faith in God that saved him, as faith always saves. It saved Abraham. He believed God for that which was humanly impossible. He was strong in faith and gave glory to God. You see, unbelief is an affront to God. For God to make a promise and you not to believe it is to question His character. If the Bible says, for example, as it does in Philippians 4, "My God shall supply all your need," do you believe it or do you worry about your need? If Jesus said, "Take no thought for what you shall eat or drink because the Father in heaven who takes care of the birds of the field and clothes...the birds of the air, rather, and clothes the lilies of the field and the grass promises to take care of you, don't you think He'll do it?" And if the Scripture says inspired by the Holy Spirit that there never will come a trial into your life that is more than you can bear, do you believe it? And the Scripture says that in the midst of the seemingly unbearable trial there will always be a way of escape? Do you believe it? Because if you don't and if you doubt and fear and are anxious and worried, question whether God can perform His Word, you have denied Him the glory that is due His name. He is worthy to be trusted. He can do what He says. He will do what He promises. And unbelief questions His integrity and that doesn't bring Him honor anymore than questioning somebody's integrity brings them honor, it brings them dishonor to question anyone's integrity. And how foolish to question the integrity...the ability, the power and the honesty of God.
Listen to 1 John 5:10, the middle of the verse, "The one who does not believe God has made Him a liar." The one who does not believe God has made Him a liar. You are treating God as if He lied. The Lord says He's going to meet your needs, He's going to lead through all the trials and temptations of life, all the tribulations and bring you to glory. He says there's never going to be anything that's more than you can bear and there will always be a path through to triumph and victory. He promised He's going to be there as a friend sticking closer than a brother, He's going to supply all your need. Every resource of heaven is at Your disposal, including the angels which are sent to minister to the saints, as Hebrews 1:14 says. All the promises of God are ours because they're all yes(?) in Jesus Christ who is ours. And we greatly dishonor God when we claim to believe in Him and yet we can't cope with life and we can't solve our problems and we can't rest confidently and assuredly in His wisdom and His power. In fact, we're stealing His glory. Sure, life is full of troubles. But our God is beyond all of those. There's no sense in fearing.
This morning in one of the services I alluded to a text in Daniel. I want to go to it. Daniel 3 chapter 3 and verse 13, it's back to this experience with the three young men who were thrown into the fiery furnace known as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. That, of course, was their Chaldean names, their Hebrew names were Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, but the Chaldeans, part of the brainwashing process gave them names that were Chaldeans names which bore as a part of the name the name of the Chaldean gods, false gods, to try to lure them into idolatry. But you remember the story of these three young men because you remember that everybody was required to bow down to the king. And anybody who didn't bow down to the king was going to have to pay with his life. And that is precisely what happened. You remember these men are mentioned there in chapter 3 verse 17, Hananiah, Mishael...chapter 2 rather verse 17...Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
But by the time you get into chapter 3 they are called in verse 16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. And when they are told to bow down to the king, they refuse to do that. And verse 15 says, "If you don't worship you're going to be immediately cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire." And then he says, does Nebuchadnezzar, "What God is there who can deliver you out of my hands?" He thought himself to be more powerful than the Hebrew God. And it's understandable since the Babylonians had managed to conquer the Hebrews. They ascribed their conquering powers to their own deity and assumed that if the Hebrews' God couldn't defend them against the gods of the Babylonians that therefore the gods of the Babylonians were more powerful and that he, Nebuchadnezzar, was perhaps the most powerful of all...even though he was a man, he saw himself as some kind of deity.
"Well," he says, "you either bow down to me or he'll throw you in the fire." Verse 16, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered and said to the king, `O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this.'" We don't have to say anything to you, you can't force us to speak to you, we don't respect your office or your authority. "If so be, our God...verse 17...whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire and He will deliver us out of your hand, O King." Now that is tremendous faith. If somebody asks you in a simple question in the normal course of life if you believe God could deliver you out of any situation, you'd probably say yes but it might be a little different if you were standing on the edge of a fiery furnace...feeling the heat and breathing the smoke and the flames as they were, but it never caused their faith to waver one bit.
Verse 18 they added, "Even if He doesn't, let it be known to you, O King, we're not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you've set up." What did they mean? I think that's an evidence that they believed in the power of God to raise the dead. Even if God doesn't protect us from the fire, He'll take us out the other side. I believe they were so confident in God's power and God's promise that whether it was in life or death, they knew God would deliver them. Well Nebuchadnezzar was so enraged by that in verse 19, he was filled with wrath, his facial expression was altered. He screwed up his face in fury. And he answered by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated. And he commanded certain valiant warriors who were in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, I guess he expected a fight, he didn't get one, in order to cast them into the furnace of blazing fire. And these men were tied up in their garments, their coats, their caps and their other clothes and cast into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. They're just bundled up and just heaved into this fire.
"For this reason because the king's command was urgent and the furnace had been extremely hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego." It was so hot that it burned the guys who got near enough to throw them in. "But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire, still tied up. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste, he responded and said to his high officials, `Was it not three men we cast into the midst of the fire?' They answered and said to the king, `Certainly, O King.' He answered and said, `Look, I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm and the appearance of the fourth is like the son...like a son of the gods.'" Most Bible commentators would believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the second member of the trinity in a pre-incarnate appearance came and attended to these three wonderfully faithful men.
"Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire, responded and said, `Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here.' And they came out of the fire. Their faith was vindicated. Well, it tells us in verse 27 that the fire had no affect on the bodies of these men, nor was the head of their heads singed, nor where their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them.
I remember one time as a kid when I was in college I was on a very strict budget, I was a long way away from home. And a department store in the area of the college burned down. And it was a perfect opportunity for some of us to go buy clothes cheap. And I remember buying a sportcoat for about $8.00 or something and I thought it was really a great looking sportcoat. It smelled, to be sure, of smoke. But I thought it would dissipate. And I remember when the year was over and I came home and my mother first opened my suitcase, the whole thing smelled and it was months after. There wasn't even the singeing of hair, there wasn't even...and I get that every time I try to barbecue chicken or something, don't you? It burns all the hair off my fingers. My wife is in the background saying, "Heat the fire hotter." And I'm always trying to get it up to the perfect place and...but not a thing, not even the smell of smoke.
Just this, their faith was vindicated. They believed God on the edge of the fiery furnace and that's the kind of faith that honors God. That is a tremendous honor to Him when you can stand on the edge of the fiery furnace and say I trust God, when you can face a tragedy in your family, whatever it might be, and say I trust God, God is too wise to make a mistake, too loving to be unnecessarily unkind and too powerful to have anything beyond His control. Faith glorifies God.
Let me give you a fourth principle. We glorify God by fruitfulness. We glorify God by fruitfulness. This is a very important truth. Turn over to John 15:8 and these are very foundational things we're reviewing but they really do tie in to this 2 Corinthians 3:18 verse which we finished up in our series on in this idea of moving from one level of glory to the next. We glorify the Lord by fruitfulness.
In John 15:8 it is stated just as point-blank as it can be stated, John 15:8, "By this is My Father glorified that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciple." God is glorified when you bear much fruit. It dishonors God to have little fruit. I don't think there's any such thing as a no-fruit Christian. By their fruits you shall know them. I mean, I think we...we have to have some manifestation of the life of God in us but it dishonors God when we have little fruit, you know, when you have to look a long time to find a few shriveled grapes. There should be a bounty, an abundance of fruitfulness in the life of a Christian. That's what Paul was pleading for in Philippians 1:11 when his prayer was that you would...that you would be filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God. God is glorified and God is praised when you are filled with the fruit of righteousness, not when it's a now and then, here and there kind of thing but when your life is just filled with righteousness.
I mean, as an illustration of that Romans chapter 22 and verse 24 provides a very graphic insight. Here came the people of Israel, right? The Jews of the time of Jesus, the time of Paul. And who did they claim was their God? Jehovah God, and they claimed it loud and far. Everybody in that part of the world knew that they served the one true God, Jehovah God, that they believed in God. But there was no fruit in their lives. There was no fruit. Verse 21 of Romans 2,"You therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one should not steal, do you steal? You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law through your breaking the law, do you dishonor God?" And then verse 24, what an incredible indictment, "For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you." You are not a source of glorifying God, you are a source of blaspheming God, you are a discredit to God. You say you belong to God but look at your life...thievery, adultery, idolatry, transgression of the law, it's all there. And so, you blaspheme the name of God.
And Jesus addressed this in the Sermon on the Mount. He said,"In contrast to that kind of living, here's how I want you to live. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, your fruitfulness and do...what?...glorify your Father who is in heaven." That's not the way the Jews were living. They were claiming to belong to God. They were claiming to believe in God. They were claiming that God was their God, that they had a relationship and a connection with God and they were experiencing God's power. And the fact was the name of God was being laughed at, mocked and blasphemed among the Gentiles because of the absence of any real spiritual fruit, any real good works, any true righteousness.
In 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 and verse 11, Paul says, "To this end we pray for you always that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and this, that He would fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power...why?...we want goodness in your life and power in your life...why?...in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you." That's the whole point...so that God can receive honor and glory because of the way you live. You say, "Yes, Christ lives in me," and people look at your life and say, "Well it doesn't look like it." You say, "Christ lives in you," it doesn't seem to me that He's very powerful, I don't see anything in your life that's particularly transcendent or divine. However, on the other hand, when people can look at your life and see the demonstration of true righteousness, that brings glory to the one who you claim as your Savior.
Now when we talk about this fruit, just briefly, I don't want to go into this because we've taught this before, but just very briefly. What are we talking about? What do you mean fruit? Two kinds of fruit, action fruit and attitude fruit. Action fruit is what you do, righteous deeds. It could be anything from leading someone to Christ, like in Romans 1:13 where Paul says I want to obtain some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles. In other words, I want to lead some people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. It could be what Paul calls fruit in Philippians 4:17 which is fruit which increases to your account when you give. In other words, it's giving, giving is a fruit of the work of God in your life, being generous, giving to those in need. It could be what Paul has in mind in Colossians 1:10, bearing fruit in every good work, every kind of righteous deed. It could be what the writer of Hebrews has in mind in Hebrews 13:15, "The fruit of your lips, even praise to God." Any kind of righteous good deed, any kind of righteous gift, any kind of righteous praise to God, any leading of someone to Christ, any of those things are action fruit, any righteous deed that you do, any manifestation of God in your life.
But behind that action fruit there is attitude fruit. And what is that? The fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. Where you see a life filled with love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control there is evidence that God is there. If I say Christ lives in me and my life is without love, without joy, without tranquility, then who is going to believe that my God is a transforming God, right? What kind? God doesn't need that kind of press, that's what He got from Israel and the result was they blasphemed His name.
What God wants, first of all, is attitude fruit and then action fruit. Listen to this little thought, if you have action fruit in your life without attitude fruit, that's hypocrisy. You're just doing things on the outside that don't come from the heart. What God wants is that you walk in the Spirit, the Spirit produces attitude fruit, attitude fruit results in action fruit. And when your life is characterized with much fruit, then God is glorified.
You know people like that whose lives are godly, you look at their life and you honor Christ for what he is doing in their life. You can see Christ in them, you can see God in them. That's what we call a godly person.
Number five in our little list, and we'll just give you a few more tonight. We glorify God, we move from one level of glory to the next, by praising Him...by praising Him. And this is a very simple but a very important and basic concept.
Praise is fitting, Scripture says. It is a noble expression on the part of every Christian. We should be engaged in it and are if we're faithful to the Lord at all times. Listen to what it says in Psalm 50 verse 23 and I'm going to quote it from the old Authorized because I think it's such a clear quote. "Whoever offers praise glorifies Me...Whoever offers praise glorifies Me." Simple principle. That's true worship, when you offer God praise you're glorifying Him, you're honoring Him. Glorifying means to honor, to show respect, to lift up, to exalt.
In Psalm 86 we read, verse 9, "All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord, and they shall glorify Thy name." It's a form of worship. They'll worship by glorifying Your name. Verse 12, "I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord, my God, with all my heart and will glorify Thy name forever." It's a matter of worship. It's a matter of giving thanks, that's praise, that's glorifying to God.
In Psalm 92 just at the very beginning of that Psalm, the first two verses, we hear an echo of similar things. "It is good to give thanks to the Lord and to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High, to declare Thy loving kindness in the morning and Thy faithfulness by night." That's just part of glorifying God. Every time you praise God, thank God, exalt Him, glorify Him, you are doing what pleases God.
In fact, we remember, don't we, in John 4 how the Father has sought true worshipers who would worship Him in spirit and in truth. And a part of that, of course, is lifting Him up and giving Him glory. As the psalmist says in Psalm 95:5, "Come let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand." We need to bow. We need to praise. We need to worship. We come together on the Lord's day to do just that...to offer our praise and to offer our worship to our worthy Lord, our worthy God.
First Chronicles chapter 16, "Sing to the Lord all the earth, proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day, tell of His glory among the nations. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength, ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name." That's praise.
Now, let me just give it to you very simply. Praise has three components, three simple components. Number one, reciting God's wonderful works...reciting God's wonderful works. That's praising. Just the litany of what God has done, it's sort of like what Habakkuk did in the third chapter of that little prophecy where in the midst of his trouble nothing really changes circumstantially but he just starts to remember what God has done. He just starts to look back and recite all of the incredibly mighty delivering acts that God achieved and accomplished. And here he is in the midst of this little time of fear and anxiety and he starts to say things like, "God comes from Teman and the Holy One from Mount Paran," and he's reaching back and remembering some of the historic events."His splendor covers the heavens, and the earth is full of His praise. His radiance is like the sunlight, He has rays flashing from His hand and there is hiding of His power. Before Him goes pestilence and plague comes after Him. He stood and surveyed the earth; He looked and startled the nations. Yes the perpetual mountains were shattered. The ancient hills were collapsed. His ways are everlasting. I saw the tents of Cushan under distress, the tent curtains of the land of Midian were trembling."
He talks about the Lord raging against the rivers and against the sea and he talks about the Lord riding on Thy horses, on Thy chariots of salvation, the bow was made bare, the rods of chastisement were sworn. Thou hast cleave the earth. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. The mountains saw Thee and quaked. And he goes on with all the stuff that God has done from creative history right on. And when it's all done and he has recited all this litany of God's achievements he says this, "Though the fig tree shall not blossom and there be no fruit on the vine, though the yield of the olive shall fail and the fields produce no food, though the flocks shall be cut off from the fold and there shall be no cattle in the stalls." In other words, though everything in the world goes haywire, everything in the earth goes wrong, though everything you can count on, everything that's dependable, everything that's fixed stops, yet I will exalt in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. The Lord is my strength and He has made my feet like hinds, or goat's feet and makes me walk on my high places.
I can tread the precipices with the same security and safety as a mountain goat, no matter how dangerous the times because I trust my God. If everything in the world goes array, I will trust Him. Why? Because in reciting the history of what God has done in the past he remembers the tremendous power and deliverance of God. That's the benefit of praise. When you begin to recite everything God has done, your problem seems fairly small.
Secondly, you not only in praising God recite His works, you recite His attributes. And you see this in the psalms. You see this in the prophets...the recitation of God's attributes...Psalm 46, Psalm 66, Psalm 90, Psalm 96, many other places. And you just begin to run down the record of all of God's great attributes. Here you are in the middle of your little problem and you remember that God is absolutely powerful, that God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, that God is immutable, never changes, that God is all wise, perfectly just, holy, righteous. You just go all down those attributes...He is gracious, He is filled with loving kindness, His mercy reaches higher than the heavens. And you begin to go through all of these things that are true about God. And as you recite all of that it changes your focus. It changes how you view life. You'll begin to trust God in a greater way.
Praising God has a tremendous built-in benefit to the one who does it. So we recite God's wonderful works, we recite His attributes and the third component is we say thanks for both...we say thanks for both. Having a thankful heart. It is a sin not to be thankful, isn't it? It is, it is a sin to be ungrateful to God. And I think of that, I always remember and I hadn't planned to say anything about it, but I always remember that amazing account in the seventeenth chapter of Luke where Jesus healed those ten lepers. And they were all crying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." And verse 14 He saw them, He said to them, "Go and show yourself to the priests. And it came about that as they were going they were cleansed." Now one of them, not ten, nine, eight, seven, just one...when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice. How did he glorify God? He fell on his face at Jesus' feet and gave Him thanks. And Jesus said,"Were there not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found who turned back to give glory to God except this foreigner?" He was a Samaritan. "And He said...Rise and go your way, your faith has saved you." Ten were healed, one was saved...came back and said thanks.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth is an ungrateful child...certainly an ungrateful child of God. As Joab when he fought against Rabbah, sent for the king that he might carry away the crown of victory. So the Christian when he wins any battle sends for Christ that He may wear the victor's crown. Gives Him all the praise and all the glory. As the silkworm when she weaves her wonderful work hides herself under the silk and is never seen, so when we have done anything praiseworthy, we give the praise to God. That's living to the glory of God. We glorify Him when we recite His record of deeds and His attributes and thank Him for both. You know, if this is a way of life for you, if this is a pattern of living for you, it's going to have a dramatic effect on how you view your circumstances and how you handle your trials no matter how severe they are.
Number six, we glorify God by prayer...we glorify God by prayer. John 14, one of the most wonderful sections in Scripture because it is the legacy of Scripture given to those who belong to Him just before He left. And I want you to know that in this particular section the disciples were greatly distressed because Jesus was leaving and they were frightened about that realization. Where would they turn when He wasn't there? He had given them food when they needed food. He had calmed the storm when they needed the storm to be calmed. He had provided safety when they needed safety, truth in their ignorance. He had given them everything and now He was leaving. And He said, "Don't worry about it." John 14 verse 13,"Because whatever you ask in My name that will I do." Just because I'm not here physically doesn't mean I'm not here, just because I'm not around to do what you need done doesn't mean it won't get done. Whatever you ask in My name I'll do it. Why? "In order that the Father may be...what?...glorified in the Son."
Do you know why the Lord answers prayer? You say, "Yeah, to give us what we want." No. Say, "Well to give us what we need." No...no, that's superficial, that's just the beginning. The real reason that He answers prayer is to put Himself on display. He answers prayer so you can glorify Him. When you prayed for someone to be saved and you've prayed long and passionately, maybe for years and God awakens that dead heart and that person embraces Jesus Christ, your first response is to cry out to God with gratitude, isn't it? To thank Him. And so you glorify Him. And when you're in a situation where your resources are limited and you don't know where you're going to turn and the Lord wonderfully and graciously provides for you, your immediate response having prayed for His provision is to thank Him and praise Him for what He has made available to you.
You see, the person who doesn't pray isn't necessarily going to be destitute...God is still gracious. The person who doesn't pray may have everything he needs, he just won't praise God for giving it to him, he just won't understand that this is all from the Lord. He's just really not a part of that process.
I mean, imagine, you go to a Bible study and somebody gets up and says, "I want to tell you that Robert So-and-so was saved." And you hear somebody say, "Oh thank the Lord, how wonderful...Oh, isn't God wonderful, isn't He good?" And you know that person had been praying for that individual. While another person who sat there and listened to the person say Robert So-and-so was saved just kind of looks around and wonders where the refreshments are. Why? Because they're not involved in the prayer process. So God didn't put Himself on display in their life because they never gave Him the opportunity to do that because they weren't a part of the petitioning.
Prayer is really designed so that when God acts you're going to know He acted. That's why we're not fatalistic, even though we believe in a sovereign God who will work His own purposes. The reason we pray is not so we can change God's mind about what He's going to do but so that we can give Him glory when He does it because we're involved in that process. When you pray in My name based upon My merit in union with My person and My purpose and for My glory, I'll do it. God will put His glory on display, He'll put His power on display. I remember years ago there was a guy here in our church who used to make prayer requests and write them in a notebook. And we were meeting over in the Family Center then, we didn't have this part of the campus built. He came to me one Sunday and he said, "I'd like to know, Pastor, if you have any prayer requests, I'd like to pray for four or five things," and he took out his little spiral notebook. And I mentioned them and he wrote them down, and wrote them down and wrote the date in the left hand column that they were written in this little book. And then it was a few weeks later he came back to me with the same little book, more things written in it now and he said, "I'd like to just check off those requests, I've been praying. Could you tell me how they all worked out?" And I gave him a series of answers and he wrote a little date in the right-hand column with a little note about what the Lord had done.
And I asked him, I said, "How long you been doing this?" He said, "This is book nineteen." Now there was a man who had seen God display Himself. I mean, if you said to him, "Has God ever really shown Himself powerful in your life?" He'd say, "Yes, would you like to see my shelf?"...and just start filing through. See, if you're not engaged in that kind of petition, then you're not engaged in that kind of experience of seeing the power of God manifest. Prayer glorifies God because it puts Him on display and then you glorify Him in response to that display.
Well, so many other things could be said. I'm going to mention one more. We glorify God by bringing others to Christ. We glorify God by bringing others to Christ. Look at 2 Corinthians 4:15, and by the way, there are many others that are specifically stated as means of glorifying God we don't have time for...but look at 2 Corinthians chapter 4. We're going to get to this, this will take us back kind of to the vicinity of our text. In 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 15, Paul again here defending the legitimacy of his apostleship among the Corinthians because it's under assault by the false teachers, says, "For all things are for your sakes. If you think I'm in this for myself, you're wrong." And that's exactly what they were accusing of...him of. If you think I'm in it for the money or power, prestige, or some kind of favors, you're wrong, "Everything I do is for your sakes. All things are for your sakes." What is it that you want? "In order that the grace, saving grace, which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God."
Now there are perhaps a number of facets to what he is saying but let me put it as simply as I can. He is saying everything I do is to provide an opportunity for saving grace to spread to more and more people so there will be more and more people glorifying God. Paul is saying, "I do what I do in order to add one more voice to the "Hallelujah Chorus." Every time you lead someone to Christ, another voice is singing hallelujah, another is praising and glorifying God." I can glorify the Lord in my own life, I can lead someone else to Christ by God's grace and that means two are glorifying Him. We continue to do that through life and we multiply the "Hallelujah Chorus."
So the Apostle Paul says you'll glorify the Lord when you spread the message of saving grace and God in His mercy saves. And more and more people will express their thanks to God's glory. Now in fact that has to be the most potent way to glorify God because it's a multiplication, it gets beyond me to someone else and doubles the potential of glorifying Him. As you think about how you use your life, keep this in mind, that everything you do in the end should be so that the grace of God which saves could spread to more and more people so more and more people will be able to glorify Him. And God is most glorified in the salvation of a soul because that really puts His power on display.
So, we all with an unveiled face, the obscurity removed, looking at the glory of the Lord shining to us in the face of Jesus Christ through the pages of holy Scripture, seeing that blazing glory and moving from one level of glory to the next and being changed into the very image of Christ by the Holy Spirit. This is fitting. The Lord wants glory in His church. He wants to reveal and manifest His glory in His church even as He did on the face of Moses. Let's close with a couple of scriptures. Ephesians 3:21, a benediction, "To Him be the glory in the church." Boy, what a mandate. He wants glory from His church. "To Him be the glory in the church, even in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever..." and we all ought to say amen to that. And Philippians 4:20, "Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever...and everyone said...amen." Amen.
Father, we thank you for the reminder again tonight of this foundational principle of Christian living...to give You glory. And there are many things we did not say. We glorify You by our unity. We glorify You by our obedience. We glorify You by our moral purity. Father, in every way possible we want to live to Your glory. We want to reflect the glory of Christ and be transformed into His image by the Holy Spirit. This is our prayer. This is our desire. "Oh to be like Thee, dear Jesus, my plea. Just to know Thou art formed fully in me." That's our prayer. And we pray that You will fulfill in us by Your Spirit in Christ's name. Amen.

Bedford Blues recorded their second win of the season – and the first in the Greene King IPA Championship – as they overcame a determined Ealing Trailfinders side 31-14.
With severe weather warnings on the horizon – and not wanting to quote bedtime stories - there was plenty of huffing and puffing around Goldington Road but the Blues came out on top with a five try haul which included two apiece for Ollie Dodge and James Pritchard while Mike Le Bourgeois added one into the mix.
With the Sky cameras in attendance it looked as if Bedford were going to put on quite a show as they ran in the first try after 12minutes. Ealing had started lively and were not afraid to have a proper crack at the Blues but when Jake Sharp saw Dodge standing on his own over on the left wing, he sent a fine kick straight into his arms and Dodge just had to step inside to score with Pritchard adding the extras.
Any hopes of an easy afternoon were soon expelled though as the visitors started to make their possession count. Bedford were being penned back and when a pass was fired at Sharp he unfortunately juggled it straight into the arms of the oncoming Tom Wheatcroft who passed it down the line to fullback Andrew Henderson who scored. Wheatcroft then levelled the scores with the conversion.
Ealing Trailfinders – who won promotion from National One last season – then showed that they had plenty of grit upfront. After turning down a pretty simple looking three points from a penalty – something they did several times during the afternoon - the pack took lineout ball and then went through a series of phases inching ever closer to the Blues try line. It looked as if Steve Pape had come close but with a ruck over the try line, scrum half Morgan Thompson dotted down and the video ref confirmed he had grounded the ball under the posts giving Wheatcroft a simple conversion to make it 7-14.
Bedford's reply should have been immediate had it not been for a loose hand. The forwards carried well into Ealing's 22 before Luke Baldwin sent a pass out wide. There was enough pace on the ball to find any of the four men outside but a hand came in from Sharp and diverted the ball into touch.
A second try did arrive though and Sharp was again integral to its constructions. The Blues forwards did plenty of grafting before the ball came to the fly half. With men outside but the defence up quick, he sent a peach of a grubber towards the corner which evaded Le Bourgeois but not Dodge who slapped down to score but it went unconverted.
Five minutes after then interval and things looked a little rosier for the Blues when Pritchard got his first of the afternoon. The Blues had ground their way into the Trailfinder's 22 before the ball came to the backs. Sharp made a darting run to gain a couple of metre's and as the last line of defence came crunching in, he floated a pass to Pritchard to go over besides the posts with the Canadian international converting his own effort.
Ealing continued to fight tooth-and-nail throughout the game and they were always looking for a route back into this one. Their lineout continued to frustrate the Blues while their backs were always willing to have a run. That said, there was some good cover defence from the Blues with the likes of Brendan Burke and Nick Fenton-Wells getting in on the action throughout.
It took until the 63rd minute for the Blues to get an all important fourth try. Don Barrell took a lineout ball in the Ealing 22 which the forwards then mauled on. Scott Spurling broke from the back and jinked his way infield before Sharp delivered a super pass out to Le Bourgeois who scored with Pritchard converting.
Ealing continued to look for at least a bonus point but despite having plenty of possession they just couldn't find a way through. Darryl Veenendaal – who came on for his 100th appearance in a Blues shirt – showed some fantastic footballing skills to dribble the ball into Ealing's 22 before a defender carried it to touch but Bedford then failed to capitalise.
The Blues did get one final chance though which they took with both hands to send the fans home happy. The Blues scrum – which was solid for most of the match – made ground and allowed the backs to break free. With the ball being carried one way then the other, it finally came out to Barrell who near the left wing. The blindside could have tried to go over himself but as the tackle came in, he popped the ball to the onrushing Pritchard who touched down in the corner to seal the win 31-14.

Good Morning!
Ahhhh, Friday….here again. Love it. Today I've got a little update on my seedlings for you. Yes people, I've got germination. I now have little sperm-y looking sprouts coming out of many of my seeds. It looks like starting seedlings in the fridge is working fabulously! Now I have to plant them and try not to kill them…no promises.
Check out my cosmos….
And the flower I'm most excited about is the poppy…
I'm a huge fan of poppies. They are so delicate and come is such gorgeous colours. Not only are they lovely but they are also highly symbolic and political. Firstly, in Canada they are a symbol of remembrance for fallen Canadian soldiers and are a common symbol around Remembrance Day in November. However, the papaver somniferum variety of poppy (the opium poppy) is far better known as the culprit from whom the illegal narcotic drugs opium and heroin originate. These flowers are more than just a pretty face. That being said, I'm going to focus on their pretty for today….

Love the chair by etsy seller Green Gage Vintage (unfortunately it's sold), and I'm not big on tatoos but that poppy tat is truly body art.
Have a good weekend!

Dear Abby: I have been divorced for three years. I have started seeing a truck driver I�ll call Ted. His job keeps him away from me a lot of the time. I�m used to being by myself, so it doesn�t bother me that much. Ted calls and texts me all day, so the communication is there.
My family is telling me it will never work because I need someone with me in the evenings � like my ex was. I say it will work because I�m used to being by myself now. Ted and I have a lot in common.
I guess what I�m asking is, should I pay attention to what my family is saying or tell them to mind their own business?
� OK By Myself in South Carolina
Dear OK: Constant togetherness is no guarantee a marriage will be successful. If it was, you wouldn�t be divorced from your �ever-present� ex. When choosing a partner, it is important to listen to both your heart and your head.
Continue the relationship and see how it plays out. Tell your family you appreciate their concern, but this is something you must decide for yourself. �Mind your own business� seems a bit harsh.
Dear Abby: I see a very skeletal woman every day at my gym. She does an hour on the sit-up machine. Her stomach sticks out like a person suffering from starvation. It hurts to look at her.
I feel I have a moral obligation to do or say something in case she is suffering from anorexia. However, I would not feel obligated to say anything to an obese woman at the gym. I am also afraid this person may have another condition that is causing her to waste away.
How should I offer support to her? Or should I just ignore her like the other people at the gym do?
� Working Out With My Eyes Open
Dear Working Out: If you would like to reach out to her, be friendly, but do not comment on her appearance. As you get to know each other, you will learn more about her condition � if she has one.
If you say anything right off the bat, it could be considered rude, nosy or insensitive, so I don�t recommend it.

As a teenager he lacked application until starting to learn with Philip Eastop. Offers of scholarships to attend all the Music Colleges were a result of his outwardly comedic pedagogy. With infinite wisdom, Carsten then opted to study with Tony Chidell and Jeff Bryant at the Guildhall School of Music. During this time he played with the EUYO, YMSO and various other ensembles around at the time.
Whilst at the Guildhall Carsten took up a position as horn player at the English National Opera and spent a good number of years ploughing through Wagner Operas with Mark Elder and others. In December 2007 he emerged from the Pit and joined the Philharmonia Orchestra where he remains to this day.
Carsten's grandad played horn under Furtwängler with the Berlin Philharmonic for 28 years before moving to the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra in 1965. Carsten still plays his Grandfather's prized Alexander Horn.
When he gets a break from his busy schedule as an international soloist and busy studio musician, Carsten enjoys the company of unreliable Italian motorcycles. He can also often be spotted mincing around Shoreditch on a fixed-gear bicycle.

Brother pleads guilty in New London stabbing
One of two brothers charged with inflicting life-threatening stab wounds on a man during a large brawl outside the WildStyle Motorcycle Club in downtown New London last fall pleaded guilty Thursday in New London Superior Court.
Jose Roman, 35, of Waterford, will be sentenced Dec. 4 to up to four years in prison for accessory to first-degree assault. Charges are pending against 32-year-old Juan Roman of Waterford, and both brothers remain incarcerated.
The victim, whose intestines were bulging from his abdomen after he was stabbed, identified the two brothers as his attackers, according to police. The Romans were the president and vice president of the now-shuttered WildStyle Motorcycle Club at 130 Bank St.
Two other brothers, Robert Marin and Donte Marin, had pleaded no contest to attacking another man during the brawl and are scheduled to be sentenced in October.

Ecclestone would welcome Ferrari title in 2013
- Drivers:
- Fernando Alonso
- |
- Bernie Ecclestone
- |
- Sebastian Vettel
Bernie Ecclestone says "it wouldn't be too bad a thing if we were to have a change at the top of the sport" and would welcome a return to form for Ferrari in 2013.
While Fernando Alonso was a close runner-up in the drivers' championship last season, Sebastian Vettel won a third consecutive title as Red Bull continued its dominance. Speaking to Corriere della Sera about his comments that Vettel deserved the title over Alonso, Ecclestone admitted he thinks Vettel can improve even further but said he'd like to see a change at the top in the coming season.
"I explained that Vettel is a true champion, but that he's still young and can only improve in terms of being a character in the sport and in terms of his personality," Ecclestone said. "As for Alonso, after three years of dominance by Red Bull it wouldn't be too bad a thing if we were to have a change at the top of the sport, perhaps with Ferrari leading the way again."
Ecclestone also clarified his position following a war of words with Luca di Montezemolo, saying that the pair's relationship had not been damaged.
"Montezemolo is still a friend and I'm convinced that he didn't really intend to say the things he said about me, about my age and my ability to continue to work. I'm happy - it's just 'role playing'!
"All I said was that [Red Bull] deserved to win the Drivers' and Constructors' titles again and that I didn't agree with the stance Ferrari were taking with the appeal against the alleged and non-existent rule infringement by Vettel at Interlagos."

Nady's knock in 12th caps wild Padres win
WASHINGTON -- Just when 35-year-old Xavier Nady probably figured he had seen just about everything in a big league career that has encompassed 955 games and eight different teams, he witnessed some things Thursday that essentially made him reconsider his stance.

WASHINGTON -- Just when 35-year-old Xavier Nady probably figured he had seen just about everything in a big league career that has encompassed 955 games and eight different teams, he witnessed some things Thursday that essentially made him reconsider his stance.
"That was," Nady said, "a bizarre game."View Full Game Coverage
And that's not the half of it, as the Padres hung on to edge the Nationals, 4-3, in 12 innings in front of a chilled crowd of 22,904 at Nationals Park who were treated to a wild affair that lasted over four hours and featured enough plots twists to keep your head spinning for weeks.
Consider what happened Thursday:
• San Diego lost third baseman Chase Headley to a strained right calf when he felt something grab coming out of the box during his first at-bat. He'll likely head to the disabled list as soon as Friday. Then, later in the game, Seth Smith strained his right groin chasing a ball in the outfield. He'll likely miss two to three days.
• There was a successfully challenged call by Nationals manager Matt Williams in the ninth inning that wiped out a stolen base by Yonder Alonso. San Diego manager Bud Black took exception, insisting the batter was in the box and the pitcher was on the rubber before Williams went to challenge the call.
• It was for just one out, but Padres pitching ace Andrew Cashner, their Opening Day starter, was a left fielder in the 11th inning, as the Friars didn't want to burn a position player before they made a pitching change later in the inning. Smith's injury also necessitated the move.
• The Nationals had the tying run in Bryce Harper at second base with one out in the 12th inning when Jose Lobaton lined a ball that shortstop Everth Cabrera leaped to grab before turning it into a game-ending double play.
Get all that?
"This was a weird one," Black confessed.
The Padres (11-12), playing their second 12-inning game in three days, got another strong performance from the bullpen, as Dale Thayer, Nick Vincent, Joaquin Benoit, Tim Stauffer, Alex Torres and then closer Huston Street combined to allowed one run with seven strikeouts over the final 6 2/3 innings.
"How it started, you almost felt like that game was yesterday," said Stauffer, who allowed two hits over 2 1/3 innings, bridging the gap between Benoit and Torres (1-0), who got the win in advance of Street's eighth save of the season.
Those relievers, and the performance of starter Eric Stults, who allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings, left the Nationals (12-11) reeling, as they were 0-for-16 with runners in scoring position.
"Along the way, a lot of clutch pitches. ... Both teams were stressed," Black said.
The Padres, who took a 3-1 lead on Yasmani Grandal's two-run double in the sixth inning, got a big hit in the 12th from Nady, who bounced a ball up the middle to score Jedd Gyorko. Gyorko singled softly to left field with one out in the inning, stole second base and advanced to third on a Lobaton throwing error.
"You had injuries, the replay, a lot was going on," Nady said. "They outhit us [16 to 8], both bullpens did an outstanding job, leadoff hits, bases loaded. ... A lot happened."
And, for once, a lot of good happened to the Padres, who are 2-2 on this 10-game road trip against three teams with records over .500. Despite the injuries, this was one the Padres wanted to savor.
"That was an interesting one for sure ... where you had to be creative as you went along," Black said. "You really had to do some things to win a game. As coaches, we had to put our heads together."

Charges have been dismissed against a Charlotte firefighter who was accused of beating his wife and abusing a cat at their Gastonia home.
Charges have been dismissed against a Charlotte firefighter who was accused of beating his wife and abusing a cat at their Gastonia home.
Bryan Carlton Barfield was arrested July 20 and charged with assault by strangulation, assault inflicting serious injury, assault inflicting serious injury with a minor present, cruelty to animals and communicating threats.
All of those charges have been dismissed because Barfield�s accuser has since told prosecutors that she lied, according to Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell. �Without her we don�t have a case,� Bell said. �We did not charge her with perjury, but we did have to dismiss because she was the only witness.�
Charges against Barfield were dismissed Wednesday. His accuser originally told police that he dragged her around the house, choking her, punching her in the face and hitting her head against a dishwasher, causing a fractured wrist, a cut above her eye and another cut on her lip, according to arrest warrant affidavits.
The woman reported that some of that violence happened in front of a 2-year-old child. She also told police that Barfield maliciously tortured and beat a 14-week-old kitten by choking it, throwing it against a wall, dunking it in the toilet numerous times, slamming the toilet seat on the cat�s head and kicking it across the yard as if punting a football.
The woman initially reported that Barfield threatened to kill her if she called police. Now five months later, she signed paperwork saying that she made it up, Bell said. It is not uncommon for women to report abuse then come to the District Attorney�s Office and recant their statements, Bell said.
�Getting women to testify when they�ve been beaten is a hard thing,� Bell said. �I�ve had them come to me with a black eye and a busted lip and say he didn�t do it.�
Only Barfield and his wife know that happened in their home July 20. But in the event that the 29-year-old firefighter did commit the crimes, Bell said he doesn�t intend to punish the accuser.
�I don�t want to make the woman a victim a second time,� Bell said.
But Bell said that in domestic violence cases, he has his doubts. �I�m more likely to believe the original story than the one that comes out months later,� he said.
Barfield is a firefighter with the Charlotte Fire Department. The Gastonia man was put on paid administrative duty from his job on July 22. Hired in October 2011, Barfield remains on administrative duty pending a review, according to a spokesman with the Charlotte Fire Department.

...titty out like what, I don't give a f*$#k!...
Those words are some of Lil' Kim's most famous lyrics — and, you may remember, the theme of the skimpy breast-exposing (but nipple-concealing) ensemble she wore to the '99 Video Music Awards. That profound line also inspired my Halloween costume in 2008, which, I contend, was the best costume ever. I naturally have a few physical characteristics in common with Kim — stature, ethnicity, confidence, vulgar jargon, etc. — but that's not why the costume was as amazing as it was. I know on Halloween that I'm not only amusing myself but also everyone else who hits the town hoping to be amused by people like me. I know I have to be cheeky in more ways than one. So I reconstructed over a period of weeks, the best replica of the costume I possibly could with this in mind, and hit the town with an attitude to match.
Some people (haters) judge women dressed in sexy Halloween costumes. Today, in a Utah Statesmen editorial titled "OPINION: Sluttishness Is Not a Halloween Costume," the author writes, "The whole point of slutty costumes is to solicit sex." And the Washington Times printed a few days ago, "Self-respect begins internally, but extends to how we dress, even on occasions like Halloween." These writers may think that women who get extra sexy on Halloween "have issues." You know what? We do! If, to you, issues include raging self-confidence that completely refutes the notion that women ought to feel "fat" or generally bad about their bodies and themselves all the time. And the fearlessness it takes to shamelessly enjoy, as an adult, a little juvenile Halloween fun. It's the one and only day of the year that we self-assured females can leave our homes in lingerie and a wig and not be presumed a prostitute (unless, of course, that's what you're going for).
My Halloween ensembles require thought, time, effort, money, and, frankly, nerve. Since 2007 — my senior year of college and the year I became secure with my body — my Halloween costumes have served as excuses to parade around in revealing outfits. But there is a difference between being sexy for the sake of it and being sexy with intention. I'm not just putting on underwear and running outside. You will NEVER catch me in the standard seasonal costume shop that sells "sexy" versions of just about everything in plastic bags. I will never be a "sexy nurse" or anything else cliché like that. I tend to dress up as someone current, because it's funnier than being, say, a "sexy bunny," which is just a big snore. At this point a "sexy bunny" or nurse or whatever is like the C-Span of costumes — really boring! I choose costumes that just so happen to allow me to expose my lovely figure — things that are authentically, organically skimpy, if you will. Like Lil' Kim, or this year's costume: Gabby Douglas. (What else?)
I'm confident that my Gabby Douglas portrayal will be the best of anyone else who may attempt this costume. Normally, this year being no exception, it takes weeks to complete my Halloween attire. I try to have my idea set by the end of September and initiate formation of the costume by October 1. The Lil' Kim VMA costume required me to purchase a unitard which I had to take to my trusted tailor at the opposite end of town from my apartment. I also had to procure just the right kind of purple lacy fabric to pin to the unitard. Now, this pinning process was only possible while I was actually wearing the unitard, which turned bathroom trips into a three-women effort all night. I don't think a woman who simply wants to show off her assets would endure this painstaking of a process — but for me it's just as much about making myself, my friends, and everyone else laugh as looking hot.
Wearing sexy costumes also requires fortitude, which any Halloween enthusiast ought to respect. A fireman (the regular kind, not the sexy kind) is not going to freeze in a freak Halloween Nor'easter or be subject to sexual harassment all night. I've gone out on Halloween in freak blizzards, but I never hide my costume under a coat. What's the point of putting all that work into a costume if you're going to do that? But also, I hit house parties or bar crawl so as to minimize time outside. (And we all know booze has body-warming properties, so there's that.) There is also the obvious threat of a sexual assault/harassment. In my VMAs look, I was a hit with lesbians. I thought for sure that my friends/bodyguards would have been batting off skeevy men all night, but it was quite the opposite. These women were lifting my exposed left breast the same way Diana Ross did to Lil' Kim at the VMAs, clearly without hesitation or inhibition.
I strongly believe that any women with the fortitude to pull off such a costume also has the foresight to prepare for interactions of this kind. It's in fine print at the bottom of the "I wanna be confident and sexy on Halloween" contract, so to speak. But it felt awesome, even though the boob touching was a little weird, to be celebrated for being sexy and proud of it by so many other ladies.
I find it perplexing that critics of women who wear sexy Halloween costumes claim to support women's rights and female empowerment on the other 364 days of the year — yet they chastize the women who have the gall to "go there" on Halloween. Feministe wrote last year that the "sexy" Halloween phenomenon "throws the entire [feminist] movement back about 50 years, to a time when a Playboy Club-style Dirty Cop was more generally accepted than an actual female cop on the actual street." Well, I'm proud of my body, I'm proud of my costume-making and -planning skills, and I'm proud of the cheeky humor behind them. But you know what they say:

In vernal pools, renewal is under way
This time of year, marbled salamander tadpoles are already swimming through the shallow waters of vernal pools. Vernal pools are temporary wetland habitats in our forests. They hold water long enough during spring to attract special animals that you aren't likely to see anywhere else. Then the pools dry up, so fish and other large predators can't live there.
What is that? visitors want to know of the oddities they see when exploring a vernal pool at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary.
Sarah Alley inspects water taken from a vernal pool at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary.
Four species have adapted to lay their eggs in vernal pools on the mid-western shore of Maryland: wood frogs, marbled and spotted salamanders and fairy shrimp. An unusual toad called an Eastern spadefoot also appears after flood rains. Their lifecycle is quick; an Eastern spadefoot egg can hatch, grow as a tadpole and metamorphose all in two weeks.
Each fall, on a rainy night near September 15, marbled salamanders migrate to their dry pool where females lay clutches of eggs under logs. They know where to go because they hatched out of the pool two to 15 springs earlier. When water fills the pool in late winter, the eggs start developing, giving the marbled salamander tadpoles a head start on the coming season.
As early as February, vernal pools fill with water, and wood frogs migrate to them. A population of wood frogs congregates for just a few days. Their quacking song rising from the forest day and night is unmistakable. As quickly as they appear, they disperse back to the forest floor, leaving softball-sized squishy floating egg masses that will hatch into tadpoles in less than 30 days.
Feathery external gills give the spotted salamander tadpole a lion's mane appearance, which distinguishes it from frog and toad tadpoles.
Around that time, you might see spotted salamanders migrating on a rainy evening. The males and females dance silently after reaching the pool. Then females attach tennis ball-sized egg masses to underwater twigs and vegetation. Once hatched, the spotted salamanders' feathery external gills give their head a lion's mane appearance. This adaptation distinguishes salamander tadpoles from frog and toad tadpoles.
As spring progresses, other aquatic animals are drawn to vernal pools for food, water and shelter. Dragonflies hunt, wood ducks swim, turtles forage, newts wriggle and snakes slither. This temporary web of life is ever-changing.
In these short-span pools where survival is tough, species have developed amazing fitness.
As a pool fills with water, fairy shrimp hatch from special eggs, called cysts. By April, these fascinating crustaceans have grown to over an inch long, and females carrying eggs can be seen fluttering underwater. Fairy shrimp die when the pool dries out. But the cyst eggs they leave behind are remarkably tough. Cysts have hatched after exposure to temperatures as low as –342 degrees F, and as high as 178 degrees F. After 15 years on the shelf, a fairy shrimp cyst can still hatch.
From autumnal marbled salamanders to quacking wood frogs' pool party to spotted salamanders and fluttering fairy shrimp, the vernal pool season is here this month, gone the next — but full of life in between.
Ages 8 and up can learn more about fairy shrimp or join a vernal pool research day at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary: www.jugbay.org.

To its credit, the Department of Homeland Security distributes important documents via email. (Subscribe on their home page by scrolling down to find the "Subscribe to E-mail Updates:" box in the right column, then select your preferences.)
Yesterday DHS sent me a copy of the written testimony by Michael E. Leiter, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, for a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing titled: "Eight Years After 9/11: Confronting the Terrorist Threat to the Homeland."
As I read Leiter's (relatively brief) testimony, I wondered how well it squares with the strategic counsel offered by Audrey Kurth Cronin, Professor of Strategy at the U.S. National War College, Senior Research Associate in the Changing Character of War Programme at Oxford University, and a participant in Cato's January counterterrorism strategy conference.
In her Institute for International Strategic Studies paper, "Ending Terrorism: Lessons for Defeating Al-Qaeda," she offered several counterterrorism strategy pointers:
The first prong of a successful strategy to counter al-Qaeda's terrorism is to clarify to audiences around the globe exactly what al-Qaeda is and what it is not. This is not just of academic interest. It is partly because there is so much vague use of the name 'al-Qaeda' that it seems superhuman and ubiquitious… . When politicians and experts employ the term 'al-Qaeda' loosely, they help its propagandists to construct and perpetuate their desired image and to mobilise support.
Violent internal cleavages and bickering are endemic to the al-Qaeda movement, and have been from the outset, and the second prong in a successful strategy against al-Qaeda is consciously to exploit them.
The third element in a successful strategy against al-Qaeda is to disaggregate the many elements of the movement and develop more sophisticated, targeted counter-terrorism policies tailored to its constituent parts. The aim must be to enlarge the movement's internal inconsistencies and differences … .
At our counterterrorism conference, terrorism expert Marc Sageman similarly said, "We often unify our enemies needlessly… . Let's not unify our enemy and give it strength that way." (If you don't watch all of panel III, you can start at minute 66.)
Read Michael E. Leiter's testimony for yourself and see how well it reflects the counsel of these experts.

DOVER, Del. - Wesley College held Montclair State to its lowest point total in 49 games, as the Wolverines downed the Red Hawks 44-7 in the second round of the NCAA Championships.
Wesley limited Montclair State to just 113 yards of total offense and a negative-five on the ground in the win.
Brandon Wright (Clayton, N.J./Clayton), meanwhile, rushed for 136 yards and Justin Sottilare (Columbia, Md./Oakland Mills) tossed three touchdowns to lead the Wolverines.
However, it was the Wesley defense that scored first. Corner Marcus Wilson (Pennsauken, N.J./Camden Catholic) picked off a pass on the seventh play of the game and returned it 52 yards for the touchdown and a 7-0 lead.
The Wolverines forced a three and out on the Red Hawks next possession, then put together a nine-play, 77-yard march for a 14-0 lead midway through the first period. Wright rushed for 31 yards and caught a seven yard pass on the drive before Chris Cummings (Newark, Del./Newark) scored his first rushing touchdown of the day.
In the second quarter, Wesley put together a 12-play, 75-yard drive that ate nearly seven minutes of game time to extend the lead to 20-0 on a nine-yard strike from Sottilare to Ellis Krout (Dallas, Texas/Roosevelt).
The Red Hawks answered with a 12-play series of their own, but Sean Scanlon (Cherry Hill, N.J./Camden Catholic) intercepted a pass at the Wesley two to end the threat. Wesley then took the ball and went 60 yards to set up a school record 46-yard field goal by Dan Tryon (Wilmington, Del./Salesianum) as the first half ended with the Wolverines ahead 23-0.
Wesley's third interception of the day, this one by Byron Eaton (Randallstown, Md./Randallstown), set up the only score of third quarter. Sottilare finished off a short 38-yard drive with a two-yard pass to Hassan Alston (Randallstown, Md./New Town).
Sottilare's third touchdown of the day, and 35th of the year, came on the first drive of the fourth quarter. The junior hit Leonard Stevenson (Nanjemoy, Md./Lackey) for 15 yards at the end of a nine-play, 68-yard drive.
The Red Hawks got on the board with just over four minutes left when back up quarterback James Melody threw a 25-yard touchdown to Dan Keegan to make it 37-7.
Cummings second rushing touchdown of the day finished the scoring and Wesley sacked Melody three straight times to end the game.
Wright's 23 carries for over 130 yards put the sophomore over 1,000 yards for the year.
Sottilare completed 20-of-27 passes for 190 yards and three scores against zero interceptions.
Stevenson and Krout each caught four passes, while Stevenson led the team with 58 receiving yards. In all, eight different receivers caught passes for Wesley.
Defensively, Chris Mayes (Waldorf, Md./Westlake) had six tackles, four for loss and 1.5 sacks. in the game. Aaron Benson (Swarthmore, Pa./Strath Haven) and Jeff Morgan (Vineland, N.J./Vineland) each had seven tackles and Devin Hardy (Baltimore, Md./Eastern Tech) notched a pair of sacks.
Montclair State's leading rusher on the season, Matt Jimenez was held to minus-two yards in the game and quarterback Tom Fischer, the NJAC Co-Offensive Player of the Year, was held to just 12-of-26 passing for 78 yards and three interceptions.
Byron Lewin, Keegan and Joe LaSala each caught at least four passes, but no Red Hawk player reached 40 yards receiving.
Ed Kirschenbaum had a big day for the Montclair State defense with 15 tackles and three for loss. Mario McLean added 14 tackles, while Gary Knoeppel was in on 10 stops.
With the win, Wesley will host Mary Hardin-Baylor in the NCAA Division III Championship Quarterfinals on December 4 at noon at Scott D. Miller Stadium.

Arizona Governor Vetoes Anti-Gay Bill
Today Arizona Governor Jan Brewer put an end to speculation by vetoing SB 1062, a bill that would allow businesses to refuse service to LGBT customers on the basis of religious beliefs.
Brewer gave a statement earlier tonight, concluding that the proposed legislation would have too many unintended and negative consequences.
"To the supporters of the legislation, I want you to know that I understand that long-held norms about marriage and family are being challenged as never before. Our society is undergoing many dramatic changes," she said. "However, I sincerely believe that Senate Bill 1062 has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve. It could divide Arizona in ways we cannot even imagine and no one would ever want.

As I write this article on Monday, the heat and humidity are both high, making things uncomfortable. Remember it makes things uncomfortable for all our livestock, also. A couple of the most important considerations are certainly water and shade. Be sure that clean water is always available, especially in hot weather. Make routine checks of the water supply. Cattle need 13 to 20 gallons of clean water in hot weather.
