Have you ever met anyone that reminded you of Jesus? Come meet Dorcas.Listen Now
In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor.Acts 9:36
Have you ever met anyone that reminded you of Jesus? Come meet Dorcas.
(Knocking on door)
Who is it?
It's Dorcas. I heard that your son was sick, so I've brought some medicine and some soup. I hope it helps.
Oh, Dorcas, please come in. Thank you so much for your help. We are so worried about my son. We don't have enough money to get medicine, but now you've brought it to us. Thank you so much!
I'm glad I can help you. I will pray for healing for your son.
Come, stay for supper with us so that we may show our thanks to you.
I would love to stay, but I have several other errands to do today.
Whom else are you helping today?
Oh, I just have some clothes and food to deliver to some people who could really use it.
We thank God for you every day, Dorcas. Jesus talked about loving our neighbors, and you really show us how to do it.
Thanks. I'm just doing my best to serve God.
(Sound of door closing)
A few days later a little girl went to see Dorcas.
(Knocking on door)
Yes, may I help you?
May I please speak with Dorcas? I want to thank her for bringing food to my family. I want to let her know that my parents are thanking God for her generosity. May I see her please?
Oh dear. I'm so sorry. Haven't you heard?
Heard what?
Dorcas is very sick. We are gathered here at her house to pray for her. We are all very worried about her.
May I pray with you, please?
Certainly, come in. The doctor is with her now.
(Sounds of people praying, talking)
(Door opens, doctor enters room)
Ssshhh. It's the doctor. Doctor, how is Dorcas?
I'm sorry to tell you this. Dorcas has just died. I will need some people to wash her body and prepare her for burial.
(Sounds of people crying)
How could Dorcas be dead? She helped my family so many times. She was so kind.
I will miss Dorcas so much. She was always doing good and helping the poor people in our town.
Wait, I have heard that Peter, one of Jesus' disciples is nearby in the town of Lydda. I think we should send someone to ask him to come. Perhaps he could help.
(WALLA: group agrees)
So, the Christian friends of Dorcas sent two men to Peter and they begged Peter to come with them.
Yes, I have heard of Dorcas and her many kind acts. Of course, I will come with you.
(Music transition)
(Sounds of footsteps, knocking at the door)
Who is it?
It's Peter. I have come to see Dorcas.
(Door opens)
Peter, thank you so much for coming.
Please take me to see Dorcas.
(Sounds of footsteps and crying)
See, Peter, so many people are very sad because Dorcas has died. Look at all of these clothes that she made for the poor of our town. She was such a wonderful Christian woman.
Peter was overwhelmed with sadness and asked all the people to leave the room so that he could pray.
(Sounds of quiet crying, footsteps leaving, and door closing)
Dear Father, I am praying to you because I know that you are the giver of everything, including life. In the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, I ask you, Father, to bring Dorcas back to the people of this town. Amen.
Dorcas, get up.
(Sounds of rustling bedclothes)
Who are you? Where am I?
Give me your hand, Dorcas, and let me help you up. I am Peter, and I am very glad to meet you. I've heard so many wonderful things about you.
I just try to serve the Lord as you do, Peter.
Everyone, come in. Dorcas is alive.
(Sounds of door opening and people walking in excitedly)
(WALLA: people excited, disbelief)
Oh, Dorcas, you are alive! Thank you, Lord, for healing Dorcas.
Dorcas is alive! Let us all pray together to thank the Lord for this wonderful miracle.
(WALLA: group praying)
Dorcas was someone special because she loved and helped others just like Jesus did. Is there someone you can help today?

Phil Ping – Owner/Certified Arborist
In 1973, Mr. Ping began his career in the tree care industry by performing basic tree work. While running the business out of his Indianapolis home, he was simultaneously serving in the United States Army Reserves as a helicopter mechanic and working full time at the local Chrysler Automotive Foundry. His passion for tree care grew and motivated him to earn his ISA Arborist Certification. Phil's expertise along with his caring and kind demeanor paved the way to success. He incorporated Ping's Tree Service in 1985, and it is now the largest locally owned tree care company in our service area. Mr. Ping has served on the Indianapolis/Marion County Tree Board since its inception in 2007 and has sponsored Arbor Day celebrations for many years. He is a strong supporter of the Indiana Arborist Association and has sponsored their annual conference several times. Phil also possesses a Bachelor's Degree in Theology. Even as the company continues to expand, Phil stays connected to the tree work itself. Most days you can catch him around town, inspecting trees and providing quotes to our customers. On occasion, you may even catch a glimpse of him up in a tree working with the crew. No matter how large Ping's Tree Service becomes, Phil is still right in the center of it all.
Lisa Daugherty – Executive Vice President
Lisa may have taken her own path to success by starting and running three small businesses, but the tree care industry has always been a part of her life. From an early age, she spent many afternoons helping her dad, Phil, work his new company and learning from him the techniques of proper tree care. Lisa didn't immediately follow her father's footsteps into tree care but instead decided to branch out and make her own way. Since 1996, she has developed and maintained her entrepreneurship spirit as a small business owner. This spirit along with her knowledge of business systems, personnel management, and regulatory compliance has led her to assist with the expanding growth of Ping's Tree Service. She brings a renewed culture to the company, allowing us to reevaluate our practices and make changes to enhance our growth and service to our customers. She continues to advance our business systems and processes in order to provide an even better service. When she isn't at Ping's, Lisa is managing her own businesses or spending time with her husband and five children.
Mike Webster – Superintendent/Board Certified Master Arborist
Mr. Webster's career in the tree care industry began with Ping's Tree Service in 1993. As a young man looking for work, Mike was eager to take on the challenge of learning how to safely remove trees under Mr. Ping's instruction. His job quickly turned into a lifelong career as he began taking classes and working toward his tree care industry certifications. With continued dedication to his craft, Mike obtained not only an ISA Certified Arborist certification, but also holds a category #3A (Ornamental) Pesticides Applicator's License in Indiana, the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), and the status of being a TCIA Certified Tree Care Safety Professional (CTSP). As of January 2016, Mike officially became a Board Master Certified Arborist, one of only a handful in the state of Indiana. He is an expert in his field with over a decade of experience as a tree care foreman and with the ability to train others in all aspects of tree maintenance. For his commitment to his work and loyalty to Ping's, Mike was promoted to Superintendent of Operations in 2002. Outside the office, Mike devotes his free time to his lovely wife and seven children.
Plant Health Care Department
Aaron Wimmer – Plant Health Care Manager/Certified Arborist
Aaron came to the tree care industry with a diverse employment background. He served our country in Operation Desert Storm and was with the US Marine Corp for 4 years. After completing his service, he began working in commercial diving doing underwater welding. Due to the high-risk nature of the commercial diving business, Aaron decided to move into a position in the automotive industry. There he was a manufacturing production manager/supervisor for General Motors and Chrysler. In 2008, he left the automotive industry and launched his career in tree care with Ping's Tree Service. Since starting with Ping's, he has acquired his ISA Certified Arborist Certification, the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), his Licensed Pesticide Applicator Certification in Indiana, and his status as a TCIA Certified Tree Care Safety Professional (CTSP). From his various work experiences, he has gained extensive professional skills in quality control and work force management. These are the qualities Aaron brings to work every day. When he's not caring for customer's trees, you can find him working in his own yard or spending time with his wife and two daughters.
Scott Mitchell – Board Certified Master Arborist/Municipal Specialist
Scott's career in the Green Industry began in 1990. Most of his early work was in turf and landscape management. After continuing his education with classes and seminar on trees and their care, he decided that Arboriculture was the direction that he wished to pursue. He became a Certified Arborist in 2004 a Municipal Specialist in 2008 and in 2016 he became a Board Certified Master Arborist. In addition, Scott has his 3a Ornamental and 3b Turf Indiana Pesticide applicator license along with being an Indiana Accredited Horticulturalist.

Sales Team
Jeff Hagfors – Board Certified Master Arborist
Jeff served our country for 2 years in the US Army as a military police officer. After returning from his service in Germany, he earned his Bachelor's degree in Forestry from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and began his career in the tree care industry. Jeff started working as a production foreman with Wachtel Tree Science in Merton, Wisconsin where he was later promoted to Tree and Landscape Supervisor and then to a Sales diagnostician. He has been a certified arborist since 1990, but recently earned his certification as an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist. He also holds the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ).

Greg Sears – Certified Arborist
Greg brings an array of experience to Ping's Tree Service. Before coming to Ping's, he served our country as part of the United States Navy. He had also worked in several other industries before embarking on a career in the tree care industry. Greg joined the Ping's team in 2007 and has since then developed a love for arboriculture. He has been quoted saying that working in arboriculture is the most exciting and satisfying job of his working career. His passion for tree care propelled him to become a Certified Arborist where he can help fellow Hoosiers care for their trees.
Michael B. Siebenburgen – Salesman
Michael began his career in the tree care industry in 1989 with 7 years of line clearance experience. He has worked with every piece of equipment in the tree care industry.

Newcastle United £15m move for Stoke's Ryan Shawcross.
Stoke City boss Mark Hughes has moved to dampen 'speculation' linking Ryan Shawcross with a big-money move to Newcastle United, Reports suggest that the £15million-rated defender has emerged as a target for Rafa Benitez this summer, should the Magpies clinch promotion back to the Premier League.
Mark Hughes: Shawcross only has one year left on his Stoke contract, and the Newcastle boss is understood to be an admirer of the no-nonsense centre-half.
But City chief Hughes says the club will be offering the one-cap England international a new deal in the summer. "We're looking to sit down and re-contract him, along with others," said Hughes. "That would make sense for everybody. "Talk of a move is pure speculation."

2016 Ford Ecosport
Ever since its arrival, SUV market is not the same any more. The Ecosport model from Ford is relatively new vehicle, with a history of just few years, but these were pretty interesting. This vehicle mad a great combination of its design with performance, paying same amount of attention on all parts. This mini crossover is mostly produced for US and Indian market, and it is expected from 2016 Ford Ecosport to be one of the best selling vehicles in Asian country in 2016. However, new Ecosport is going to be produced in plants in Chennai, so it could cut the costs of the vehicle for Indian buyers.
2016 Ford Ecosport engine
It is very likely that new 2016 Ford Ecosport is going to offer same powertrains as its predecessor. If that happens, we will get this small crossover with 1.0-l three-cylinder EcoBoost as a base unit, delivering around 120 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque. However, these numbers could be boosted for new Ecosport model. After that one comes 2.0-l four-cylinder unit with 110 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque. Power will be sent through 5-speed manual transmission to front wheels. Also, there is automated gearbox available with 6 shifts. Current Ecosport can develop 110 mph and this number should be topped with 2016 year model. Mileage is not confirmed yet.
2016 Ford Ecosport styling
Although this is new model, some design works were necessarily, so we have 2016 Ford Ecosport refreshed, but not headed as new generation model. Bumper and grille are going to be redesigned anyway. Exterior is also refreshed, and it will have more aggressive look. Small SUV also gets sunroof and new dashboard, as a parts of big works inside the 2016 Ecosport. Control panel is now easier to use and it looks slicker than before. MyFord infotainment system is expected with daytime running lights as standard feature. There are few trims ready to be launched for this crossover. Same as its predecessor, 2016 Ford Ecosport will be available as Ambiente, Trend, Titanium and Titanium (O) model.
2016 Ford Ecosport price
Release date for 2016 Ford Ecosport is not set yet. However, price is also unknown, but its previous versions cost around $20.000, so near price is expected from 2016 year model.

One Additional Note On The All-Church Christmas Party One of the five giving opportunities will be to a new, Session-created fund: "FPC Campus Renovations and Development".

That is so wonderful!
December 2018 – FPC Campus Renovation And Development Fund Matching Opportunity Due to the generosity of a church member, contributions to this fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 through the end of this month. Also, you can make a pledge this month, to be paid in the first quarter of 2019, and it will still be matched! Please mark your cash-in-envelope, check, or pledge accordingly.

World Communion Sunday at First Presbyterian Church! October 7th, 2019. Welcome, neighbor!
The Communion Liturgy on this day will be traditional Presbyterian; the form, prayers, and choral elements were inherited from the early church in the Middle East and from the Catholic church in Europe. The liturgy took new shape in Switzerland, the birthplace of the Reformed tradition, and has been refined through the centuries by the Presbyterian churches in Scotland and America.
The Confession Of Belhar, source of our Affirmation of Faith on World Communion Sunday, is the newest confession of the Presbyterian Church (USA), being adopted for the Book of Confessions, a constitutional document, by the 222nd General Assembly (2016). It has roots in the Dutch Reformed Mission Church in South Africa and the Uniting Reformed Church of Southern Africa. It is those churches' response to "sin that disrupts the church's unity, creates division among the children of God, and constructs unjust systems that steal life from God's creation"; it is those churches' response to Apartheid.

You know, gently used (and new) books can be acquired in various ways, in town and online.
So what were your children's or your grandchildren's favorites? Those are the ones we want to give.

Lent @ FPC 2018
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 14th, and we will mark the beginning of Lent with the traditional Presbyterian Ash Wednesday service in the sanctuary at 6:15pm (Adult Study in recess).
Friends in Christ,
every year at the time of the Christian Passover
we celebrate our redemption
through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lent is a time to prepare for this celebration
and to renew our life in the paschal mystery.
We begin this holy season
by acknowledging our need for repentance,
and for the mercy and forgiveness
proclaimed in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We begin our journey to Easter with the sign of ashes.
This ancient sign speaks of the frailty and uncertainty of human life,
and marks the penitence of this community.
We are invited, therefore, in the name of Christ,
to observe a holy Lent
by self-examination and penitence,
by prayer and fasting,
by works of love,
and by reading and meditating on the Word of God.
– Book of Common Worship, PC(USA)
Hope to see you there.

Rainmakers, top guns, power prospectors, business builders, call them what you will. If there is one challenge that consumes sales and marketing executives it's, "How do I turn more of my team into this type of business development professional?" Rainmakers know how to keep the pipeline filled with new customers, which is the lifeblood of any organization. Recruiting experienced top guns from outside the company is enormously expensive and seldom works out in the long term. This raises a number of challenges. How can I create more rainmakers on my team? How can I become one? What exactly do the top rainmakers do that makes them so successful?
It is very apparent that first and foremost, marketing has to be a part of your daily routine if you sincerely want to become a rainmaker. It can't be something you do only when the pipeline of new business dries up. While maintaining enthusiasm for new business development is not always easy, for top rainmakers it's an activity that never stops.
Arthur Blackspure is a great example of this. At the age of 70 he's still one of the top rainmakers for his company. He's managed to successfully overcome an issue common with many older workers, building relationships with people considerably younger than himself. For example, most people in their 20s tend to forge relationships with others in their 20s, when they're in their 30s, their strongest bonds are with others in their 30s, and so on. Obviously if you limit your relationships to people the same age as yourself, as you approach retirement all of your contacts are also likely to be retiring. This is fine if you want to retire, but a potential career killer if you don't. Throughout his career Arthur made a concerted effort to develop relationships with younger people who were on the fast track at their companies. These relationships have enabled Arthur to be a top producer for over five decades.
What else made a difference between those who were successful at rainmaking and those that were not? Although it might sound obvious, one key differentiating factor is calling on the right person. Rainmakers have a remarkably accurate understanding about who has influence and who doesn't. We need to know who the real decision-maker is, and not be fooled by the person who says they're the decision-maker, when in fact they're not.
Not surprisingly, rainmakers have considerable knowledge about their own products and services. While that's important, it's also pretty basic. What distinguished the rainmakers was the depth of knowledge they had about their client's industry. They understood with great clarity what the issues were that keep their clients awake at night. They also were very well versed on what their clients' competition was up to. I'll discuss in more detail hhow rainmakers went about collecting this information and how they used this data to build successful relationships.
It is one thing to consider yourself as an expert, but quite another to be considered an expert by your prospects and customers. There's an old but true saying that you aren't an expert unless others know that you're one. How does one become an expert? Rainmakers used speaking and writing as the two primary vehicles to build their reputations. While less successful sales people understood that writing articles and giving speeches would help them be perceived as an expert, they never got around to actually doing anything. Rainmakers did more than just talk a good game. They actually wrote articles and made presentations.
What about the methods used to meet those of influence? Not surprisingly the most common method was through networking. One would think that with as much that has been written about networking, that we would be a society of wonderful networkers. Unfortunately, we're not. Very few people actually do a particularly good job of networking. There is a real methodology for successful networking that the top players understood and implemented.
Another important characteristic of our top business developers was that they never lost touch with someone who they felt could be helpful. Staying in contact requires both organization and creativity. This is particularly true if one's product or service doesn't change on a regular basis. It's not that difficult for me to determine what to say the first time I call you. But what's my excuse to call you the second time, or the time after that? How do I stay in frequent contact without becoming a pest?
The answer lies in a using a variety of creative excuses in order to stay in touch. These might include insights on a project, input on an article, recommending a top job candidate, passing along a piece of industry intelligence or offering some valuable insights on issues impacting your prospect's business. If you put your mind to it, you can come up with a lot of excuses like these to stay in touch. For example, in the process of writing my many articles, I've been in contact with dozens of my clients and prospects to get their thoughts and ideas. Not only do these conversations give me valuable insights but they also serve as excuses to stay in contact.

Innovation 1: smart building logistics
This concept Smart Building Logistics aims to use an inner city construction site as efficiently as possible whereby as little storage as possible takes place on the construction site. In order to achieve this, RFID technology is used and distribution centres are set up around the centre of the city where suppliers deliver their material and from where the city centre can be supplied.
Setting up such distribution centres enables reliable planning of the (grouped) transport of construction materials to the inner city and so prevents problems delivering or transporting material. Delivery can for example take place at times of the day when the roads are less busy. The contractor will be more likely to stock up with extra raw materials that are critical for the continuation of the construction project. These stocks are in the distribution centres. Also setting up the distribution centres jointly for several construction projects makes it possible to keep total stocks and costs low. Containers filled with the correct material produced on a certain day and material can be transported daily to the construction site.
A distribution centre can also be used for processing return flows. Construction projects indeed involve the disposal of large amounts of materials. Fast disposal of waste, unused and wrong material reduces the need for space on the construction site. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology enables automated tracking of building materials in construction supply chains. RFID makes information related to building materials readily available to the persons handling these materials and has supports in this way a further optimization of construction supply chains.
It is also possible to choose other forms of transport of construction materials as well as the choice of the location of stock items. A known example of this is the construction of the North-South line, a new metro line in Amsterdam. Concrete elements were transported for this via ships to the construction site.

Connecticut park funding debated amid budget cuts
HARTFORD >> Recent state budget cuts should encourage the General Assembly to think creatively about funding the 109 state parks, as the reality of fewer lifeguards, taller grass and messier restrooms sets in this summer, a key Connecticut lawmaker says.
In recent years, several money-generating ideas for the parks failed in the legislature, including a 5-cent fee on plastic bags; expansion of the state's 5-cent bottle deposit program to include sports drinks, teas, juices, wine and liquor; and a $5 "donation" added to motor vehicle registrations.
State Sen. Ted Kennedy Jr., a Democrat from Branford and co-chairman of the legislature's Environment Committee, said he hopes the park cutbacks and the economic ramifications will encourage lawmakers to reconsider those concepts or others when they return to Hartford next year.
"I think right now, people are finally realizing the ramifications of these cuts to state parks," Kennedy said. "It's time to have a debate and discussion and put all of these ideas on the table."
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection recently announced $1.8 million in reductions to park operations. Besides cutbacks in maintenance and lifeguard staffing, the agency's plan called for closing three state campgrounds and changing hours at certain locations. Commissioner Robert Klee said he expects additional cost-cutting measures next spring as his agency faces an overall $10 million cut in funding from the state's general fund.
Unlike most states, Connecticut's parks are financed entirely through the general fund, the state's main spending account. It costs about $18 million to operate the parks each year. Approximately a third of that cost is made up from revenue generated at the parks, including entrance fees, which is automatically deposited into the general fund.
That wasn't the case prior to 2009. Tom Tyler, the state's director of state parks, said the parks survived for decades on revenue raised from various fees deposited into an environmental conservation fund, as well as some money from the state's general fund. But he said revenues generated from fees became static. A couple of weekends of bad weather could really hurt revenues.
Faced with a difficult budget year, the legislature swept the fund for other uses and covered park expenses with only general fund revenues. Some believed the parks would then have a reliable, steady stream of revenue.
Pam Adams, who retired in 2009 as the state parks director and now heads the Friends of Connecticut State Parks organization, said the idea worked for a little while until state revenues worsened.
"The state parks started to suffer. We've been on sort of a downslide ever since," she said, adding how staffing is at a long-time low. "If they have to take any more reductions, you're going to have to start going after full closures of facilities."
Adams agrees with Kennedy that state officials need to think creatively about increasing park revenues to augment the general fund money.
The environmental protection department is providing the legislature with a report this fall about private interest in expanding different types of concessions. That report will also examine whether fees should be changed from per vehicle to per person. Other proposals under consideration include charging a nominal fee for senior citizens, who currently receive free admission, and increasing rental fees.
Kennedy said he'd like lawmakers to review how other states handle park funding and marketing.
"This is not something that's unique to Connecticut," he said, adding how the state needs a "fundamental change in how we view these assets."

Field Trip
A quick field trip on the way back from El Rosario to a ocean side seafood growing place. Not really sure what to call it. But, it was cool.

Health Fairs en El Rosario
Two Health fairs were held during my time in El Rosario including one at the church and another at the local park. It was great seeing how the people from the San Vicente church had pulled together and the effectiveness in their communication of the health concepts introduced with the games. My responsibility was to talk with those whose blood sugar or blood pressure was elevated and direct to the next course of action. I also, assisted with checking vision for the possible need of reading glasses. About 100 came through during the 2 days. Found several blood sugars over 200.

Heart Tuggers
There are always a few kids that turn into real "Heart Tuggers". As I minister in new places, like El Rosario, ineventably new friends appear. Josue Noe and Ana pictured with me proved to be my companions for the week. They liked snuggling up or holding my hand as we walked. If I got busy with translating or helping someone else with a craft, they were sure to seek me out. It was satisfying to reveiw the bible memory verses with them after class was done. Both hung around the church long after VBS being their moms were preparing meals for the team. Such sweet spirits!

July 29th, 2010 Vacation Bible Success
I love working with kids! Both young ones and teenagers which this time has proven to be. The growth in the Angeles ability to minister has grown significantly during this year. The days of prep time have allowed them to be better prepared to minister to children. The timid voices of last year have given way to confidence. After VBS was complete, I queried Pastora Laura of the El Rosario church, about the event's attendance. She was pleased to announce that about 2/3 of the children who came were visitors to their church. Now that is a successful outreach into one's community.

July 28th, 2010 How Many Kids Can Fit Into A Pickup?
One of the ladies from the church in El Rosario drove around the community picking up kids until her truck would hold no more. Amazing 10 children in the cab and 20 kids in the back. She lined them all up upon arrival to the VBS to count off so that she was sure to not forget anyone after the day's end.

Final Practice with the Angels July 26th, 2010
Time to work out some of the kinks out of the puppetshows. Good thing as Grandma Puppet needed her glasses sewn in place, arm sticks needed to be added and a rehersal to be in sync with the music recording was needed. Nothing worse in a puppets show than all the puppet mouths moving when there is only one voice being heard.

July 27th, 2010 from El Rosario
Time to decorate for this week's Vacation Bible School. We utilized the garden arch as a focal point for the daily puppet shows. The Mexican ladies busied themselves with creating tissue paper skirting and blowing up balloons. It's awesome how creatively they use inexpensive items to decorate. Mother Nature is rearranging some of what we put up with her gusts of winds that keep blowing through. The VBS is being held outside because the men of the church are enlarging the sanctuary by putting in a new roof on the back half. With the church property on a main drag this may be an advantage.

July 26th, 2010 Traveling to El Rosario
Up at 6am to be ready for a 8am departure from the church. Boy, did I pick the right van to travel in. Everyone pulled out the breakfast once we were out of town. There were burritos, tamales, and fruit that circulated around the van until everyone had had enough. Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!! The trick this week will be to NOT gain weight. The caravan of 6 vehicles carrying 51 team members,lugguage and building supplies didn't get far down the road before someone got a flat tire. Still it was a beautiful 4-hour ride travering the winding roads through the mountains with stretches that ran along the ocean.

July 25th from San Vicente, Sunday church
Left for Church at 9:45 this morning to join in on Sunday school at the church here in San Vicente that I attend when I'm in town. Mario gave an awesome teaching on the example we as adults need to be to our children. It was great to hear such a focus on the value of children especially when this upcoming week with be so directed to "these little ones" when I join forces with the church for the outreach farther south. The church service is directly after Sunday school. The church is packed today for worship and prayer time that last about 1- 1/2 hours. One of the kids is sitting on my lap until the children are released for the second half. It's getting pretty warm so the fans keep the air moving. Return from church about 2pm. Time to pack for the 4-day outreach to el Rosario, get a little down time and then return to church for the 2-hour evening service that starts about 6pm. Then there is a carne asada dinner after service. Return about 9pm.

Consult! Prepping those that GO...
26 July Chris in San Diego
Huddling around a laptop at a local cafe with a couple of people who are still queasy from their first doses of anti-malarials, all one week pre-trip for a least-developed country internationally to do health-care outreach... this week, it's Haiti... two weeks ago, they were going to Tanzania...
My lecturing at San Diego nursing schools and 'adjunct faculty' work has brought me into the circle of students and faculty who are going on health outreach during breaks. They have found out that I've worked internationally, and are coming to me with questions and needing training/prep for healthcare work abroad.
Just the last few months, my "Cafe Consults" have prepped people for Haiti, Tanzania, Thailand, Mexico and some urban health-care work in the 'rough part' of San Diego and San Francisco. In the last decade, I've done "Consult!" for people going to 28 moderate-to-low development countries.
They always come back and communicate how spot-on and useful the training was, and how it made for an effective health outreach or educational effort.
What ususally happens is that pre-trip, the people begin to prepare to 'go do' something, and as they research that prep, they find out that 'everything in their experience' cannot help them for where they are going to work. Then they contact me. I'll create profiles of health needs and healthcare realities for where they are specifically going, then (usually over a tall decaf Americano) spend a couple hours teaching/training. Laptops in cafe's work great. Many times, we'll also do some acutal planning on how the health education or intervention will happen during their outreach.
Just thought y'all should know about this 'Consult!' work, since it's a regular and substantial bit of what we do missionally.
Sorry, gotta go, somebody is running off to Thailand to work with village kids, and they want some healthcare info for that...
your bro, Chris

still Learning Aug. 24, 2010
Arrived in san Vicente Thur. evening to begin final prep for next week's outreach. The current team will include 37 people from the Nazarene Church here in SV, 9 people from Good News Community Church in Colorado, Dave and Lynne (missionary couple here in SV. and myself. Anyways, I've been busy pulling materials for the Health Fair and vacation Bible School. When I met with the Pastor's wife yesterday, I discovered that she had decided on different stories from what we had talked about before. Thus, much of the pre-trip prep I had made was in naught and needed to be restructured. If there is something that I STILL struggle with, it's feeling like I've wasted my time. Of course, nothing is EVER wasted in the "Kingdom". Relationships are ALWAYS more important than time! Hopefully, someday it will become more natural for me to shrug off these type of irritations. In the meantime, I'm being remolded into HIS image.

Hannah helps with VBS prep
Sure glad I had my daughter, Hannah, help with preparing the flannelgraph figures for the upcoming Vacation Bible School in El Rosario, Mexico. Next week will include three days of ministry to children.Leadership has been divided between Pastor Marta and myself as we continue to train up teenage girls of the Nazarene church in San Vicente in reaching out to kids in the surrounding area. Pray for open hearts of little ones who will attend as well as stamina as weather reports say temps could be over 100 degrees.
Can't wait to report about the good things that will happen.

For those who might have lost the most recent mail from The Hydro in their junk mail, here's some info about Monday's gig.
First up, definitely get there early to pick up your tickets. Given the fact that at the time of purchase "collection on the day of the gig" was the only option given, I reckon TicketSOUP are at fault for this potential mess.
Tickets *have* been available to collect from the SECC box office for a week or so already. So if you can get them from there beforehand then *DO IT*. Otherwise you'll have a hell of a wait on Monday.
Secondly, the set times are apparently as follows:
1800: Doors to arena
1830: Doors to bowl
1930: Halestorm
1945: Shinedown
2025: Interval
2055: Alter Bridge
2230: Show ends
By my reckoning, this means that Halestorm are coming on stage to set up Shinedown's equipment for them then walking off again.

Retro-ACTION! Volumes 1-3
It's a common occurrence: you buy a box set of a show you fondly yet vaguely remember, then, after you've got the buzz of seeing the title sequence again and reacquainted yourself with the characters, you find that maybe the whole series wasn't as good as your rose-tinted vision had you believe.
That's why these compilation discs are such a great move. All the shows here (one episode of each) are from ITC, a UK production company run by the legendary showbiz impresario Lord Lew Grade and responsible for much of our world-class TV output during the 1960s and 1970s. ITC shot everything on film rather than video (so everything here looks stunning) and made full use of all the writers, directors, actors, craftsmen and technicians the British film industry had to offer. Over three separately available discs you get the pick of such classics as The Prisoner (as well as the great Danger Man, the show it span off from); pre-Bond Roger Moore in The Saint; the groovily camp Department: S, Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased); more Moore, this time with Tony Curtis, in the Euro-fluff romp The Persuaders!; Richard Greene in the phenomenally successful The Adventures Of Robin Hood and many more. Lots of great guest stars appear, too, with some fine on-the-way-up performances from such actors as John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins.

Off the Mat with Wrestler Bo Nickal
By Logan Mayo, Strategic Communications Student Assistant
University Park, PA. — Red-shirt freshman Bo Nickal, a native of Allen, Texas, is ready to bring his ample wrestling talents to the Nittany Lion lineup this upcoming season. Besides the lengthy list of goals he has set for himself on the mat, he has just as many goals set once he hangs up his singlet. Studying Kinesiology, Nickal is ready to make a name for himself in whatever he pursues.
In 2014, Nickal embarked on his journey to the east coast. Growing up knowing about wrestling and the NCAA, he knew there was no better match for him than Penn State. "It really was a no brainer for me," said Nickal. "It is the best place overall to be in the country regardless of location."
Even though Penn State had one of the best wrestling programs in the country during his application process, academics was a prime and driving factor in his choosing to come to Happy Valley. Originally coming into University with a different major, Nickal realized after taking his first course load during the summer of 2014 that he wanted to pursue a different career path than he originally thought.
"Once I took my first seminar, I immediately realized that I was not interested in what I thought I was," said Nickal. "After that, it made me think, 'what could I do to stay active and also be able to help people in the process?' After some research and thought, I decided Kinesiology was the right fit for me."
In studying Kinesiology, Nickal plans on taking his career to the next level by attending professional schooling in order to become a chiropractor once his wrestling career winds down.
The Kinesiology department at Penn State is ranked one of the top programs in the entire the country. The program allows students to engage in comprehensive courses, studying human movement to better prepare them for a profession involving various forms of physical activity.
Being from Texas and 24 hours from his hometown, the Penn State community has made a home away from home for Nickal right here in University Park. Having to adjust to college and life as a student-athlete, the transition was made easy because of all of the people here at the University.
"My coaches, teammates, and the people I have been surrounded with since I got here, they are just incredible. All of these guys have such high goals and have accomplished so much already, it really just makes it a lot easier for me by being surrounded by those kinds of people and being in an environment of wanting to pursue excellence in the same way," said Nickal.
Though he has some of the most acclaimed coaches in the world by his side, they are just as disciplined in the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex as they are in study hall. Entering his freshman year, he is required to complete a certain amount of study hours each week until earning an appropriate grade point average, along with every first-semester athlete.
When it comes to studying, Nickal does not like to procrastinate. "I like to space out my work over a longer period of time, rather than saving it all and cramming at the last minute," said Nickal.
Both of Nickal's parents were teachers growing up, which instilled good habits in him as far academics and athletics. "When it comes to studying and staying on top of it, if I was ever to slack, they would have me cut that out really quick. It was never accepted to do poorly in school; it was something that was necessary for me to be able to pursue athletics." He has used this mindset at Penn State not only excel in the classroom but also benefitting him when it comes to balancing his busy schedule.
Outside of his work on the mat and in the classroom, Nickal is heavily involved in Penn State Christian Athletics (PSCA). This is a student-run organization designed to help students grow in their Christian faith. This organization collaborates with other local Christian organizations and churches whom all share the same desire to reach college students and athletes to renew, discuss and flourish in their faith.
Speaking very highly of this organization, Nickal said that the people involved and what he has learned has inspired him. The organization meets twice a week, once for Bible Study and once for a Sunday night dinner. Many athletes are involved and those that are have used the passion for their faith to strive here at Penn State.
Counting down the days until the season begins, Bo Nickal is ready to make the Penn State community proud.
