Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 322
- "I have the power…" (John 19:10).
Pilate's frustration with a silent Jesus boils over into an incredible but true interchange. The Roman governor threatens with his power to "free you or crucify you" and Jesus responds by saying that such power comes from above. Both are true. In fact, every one of us has been given a similar power. God, in wisdom and by grace, has given each of the multiplied billions of His creation the choice of what to do with Jesus. That power from above establishes and sets the course for our lives. We have been given this remarkable opportunity of self-determination and with it can either embrace or reject God himself. So go ahead, Pilate, make your call. We all have to.
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 321
- "When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid (John 19:8).
Who might Jesus be? That's the suddenly uncomfortable thought that pierces Pilate's mind when he hears what Jesus claimed to be. Is He a god? Now this unusual prisoner has become a completely different issue. The issue before Pilate is no longer dispensing with an irritation or intrusion to his day. There's no denying what he felt when Jesus responded to his questions. There's no pretending that his own wife's nightmares aren't pounding in the mental background. Who is this and what if He is what He says? What nightmare awaits Pilate's men if they lift their hands against Him? While Pilate and his soldiers will survive the day, little does he know of the everlasting impact of his next step.
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 320
- "Hail king of the Jews" and they struck him in the face (John 19:3).
This is the Son of God–a reality hidden from the eyes of the random soldiers who imagine their superiority. They mocked Him and they struck Him. As the advances of social media bring news of worldwide persecution of Christians and as those persecutions seem to be drawing closer to our shores, the question many a church kid has wrestled with in the safety of freedom's arms seems about to be asked. What would I do if they threatened me? They will. They did and they will. As encounters with the "they" of persecution move nearer to our reality, we want to pull back and reject their inequity. But nothing could have felt more unfair than what John apparently saw in this biblical moment. That's the Son of God…and they struck Him. What seems right or fair never penetrated that place. And likely it won't govern future moments for Jesus' people.
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 319
- "Give us Barabbas!" (John 18:40)
He's the usual choice. When opting between Jesus and the guy we think can get us what we want, we take the Barabbas guy. When choosing between what is we know is right or what we think is easy, easy usually wins. Barabbas is the aggressive path. He's the take action guy. He's the one that best represents what we want, and looks like our best path of getting it. Jesus is surely the better choice, most would even say the proper one. But Jesus doesn't want what I want, He wants me to want for others. He doesn't take what He wants, but gives 'til it hurts. In the long run, most of us know that Jesus is the better choice, but in the moment and for right now, well…
10 Signs of an Inward-Focused Church
For the past several years, I've been a part of a team that crisscrosses the nation to work with local churches–hundreds of them. At the same time, I spend a chunk of my summers poring over church attendance and ministry data, identifying metrics to measure health and real effectiveness, and looking for clues to what can drive the oft-elusive, but greatly-prioritized goal of growth.
Now, be assured that long ago I set aside the idea that health and growth are twin sisters, seemingly always together (and often dressed alike). There's ample evidence proving that health and growth aren't that close–maybe they're cousins who see each other a few times a year, but can otherwise live two very different lives. There are many growing churches that aren't healthy. We should get that fairly easily since no one argues that the biggest people are the healthiest!
But the reverse is also true, though harder for us to grasp. There are, in fact, healthy churches that aren't growing numerically. We struggle here since we believe that healthy things grow naturally, but we must keep in mind that growth can occur in ways other than attendance. Anyway…that's for another day and time (and blog entry).
Amidst all this study, one thing we have learned for certain is that declining churches consistently prove to be inward-focused churches. In fact, growing churches that are about to plateau often do so because inward focus has taken root within. When we lose track of the "other-focus" of Jesus' ideal, we give into our personal consumerism and soon the unhealthy symptoms begin.
So how do you know if you're local church is inward focused? Watch for these signs:
- You attend church each weekend wondering what you'll get rather than considering what you'll give.
- You know how to celebrate your faith but you lack confidence to share it.
- The people of your church guard their preferences and expect new people to adapt to the established ways.
- Congregation members aren't friendly to Sunday guests (that's a Greeter's job).
- Pastor spends 90% of his time caring for/ministering to the existing congregation (and he/she is exhausted).
- Your congregation members are more likely to ask "What about me?" than "What about them?"
- Less than 10% of your congregation brought a friend to your church last year.
- Talk of serving Jesus focuses primarily on serving at church on Sundays rather than ways to serve Him Monday thru Saturday in the community.
- Your church is active, but your city doesn't know (or care about) what you're doing.
- Your local church's most powerful day of the week is Sunday (rather than any other day of the week when your congregation is dispersed into your community).
If any of these (or even several) sound familiar, you're local church may be on an unhealthy path. Christ designed His Church to be about "Him and Them." When we are about "Him" in worship and "Them" in ministry, then He takes care of us. And only then can we be the healthy church He longs to establish in our community.
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 318
- "What is truth?" (John 18:38).
Pilate's apparent irritation with the idea of truth's existence likely underscores his own weariness with his role in life more than any characterization of the philosophical climate of the day. He's a middleman between two groups that despise each other. The Emperor, on one hand, views himself as benevolent to those he conquers and likely has little patience for the apparent ingratitude of the Jews. On the other side, the Jews hate being ruled by one they view as godless. They despise Rome and only engage Pilate when they must, and when they want to manipulate him for their own purposes. Against this backdrop, his question reveals a melancholy toward daily life. "What is truth?' doesn't seek an answer, but shows a man who gave up on finding truth some time ago. It seems sad that Pilate's weariness with his life caused him to misidentify the One before him. The meaning he lacked could have been found, if he had only heard what Jesus is saying to him in this moment.
Notes from the Journey with the Disciples – 317
- "I came into the world to testify to the truth" (John 18:37).
To Pilate, Jesus describes His mission a bit differently than we might expect. He came for truth–an idea that encompasses so many possibilities. He came to bring the truth about the Father, revealing Him and His intent in clear and unsuspected ways. He came to bring the truth about life, how God desires we live it and the ethic of love that ought drive us. He came to bring the truth about the Law, how it was designed to help shape our hearts, not just our behaviors. He came to bring the truth of God's kingdom, it's true nature and the nature of those who would enter. He came to bring the truth, and those who refuse to respond to the truth found in themselves a desire to silence Him. And that is why He is standing before you, Pilate.

The reward sharing will depend on their power contribution and the method that they are exercising towards Bitcoin mining. While the idea of mining pool is astonishing, the downside also is that you are directly putting all your hash power to the pool owner. It can however be transferred to another pool as soon as the miner wants to shift to another pool. While looking at the scale of each pool either it's small or large or might be pointing all your power to the owner, it is also good to know if the owner uses it's own power or they are just using third party in it.

Congratulations! You've made it through your introduction to Telios! The first several sessions have been fairly fast-paced and meaty in terms of content, as we've had to work to get everything set up. Events have swept you along, and you've been doing a lot of reacting since the attack on the temple.
Now, however, you're out of immediate life-threatening peril, and you now have the ability to choose where you go and what you do. The game will take a different turn now, and in some ways it's about to really kick off. From here on out, it'll mainly be you guys that will be setting the pace, and Dan and I will do as much or as little as that requires. I will, however, mention that things seem to be spiraling out of control rather quickly in the nation of Venth, and that inaction will have devastating consequences.
So if you want to start a conversation about what happens now, here's the place to do it. You know the situation, now it's time for the big question:
"What do you do?"

Investing on Home Insurance
As a homeowner, ensuring the protection of your house is a must. After all, fires, theft, and damages due to natural disasters are not uncommon. That is why it is very much advisable to invest in home insurance. However, the plan you should get must be high quality enough and can provide you ample coverage for greater peace of mind. As such, here are some tips on getting the perfect home insurance for you.
Check out these links to learn more about this matter:
- giniwealth news : The latest news and information about contracting, tax issues and legislation.
- Property for rent in Mont Albert : Offers assistance on finding a property for rent in Mont Albert.
- bibby business finance : Learn about the financial solutions that your company can have.
The first thing you need to do is to shop around. You have to view as many choices as you can in order to understand what is out there and which one is the best. A few of the plans you would encounter during your search would include mortgage protection policies, buildings and content insurance, and life insurance. No matter what you choose though, take note that high insurance prices do not necessarily guarantee quality.
Another factor to focus on when getting home insurance are your exact needs and requirements. Do not get too little insurance cover, but do not go overboard as well. Additionally, make sure that the policy you are getting does cover you. This is because some insurance dealers do not feel any compunction on selling policies to people who are ineligible. It is then your responsibility to research and understand the terms and regulations of a home insurance before purchasing it.
Finally, go for the insurance that you can really afford. If you need advice or assistance on this, do not hesitate to avail of reliable professional help. The goal is to have enough protection for your home without getting broke in the process.

We get to meet some amazing people in our day-to-day work, and in particular there is something special about working with a bride (and groom) to help realise their creative vision for their wedding cake.
To help give you a behind the scenes look at Vanilla Pod Specialty Cake Kitchen, and share some of the amazing wedding cakes and memories we've helped to create over the years, we've started our Pod Bride blog, where each month we will share one happy couple, their amazing wedding cake creation and the story behind their big day.
Jessica McGrath
The Cake
Jessica and her partner Julian came to their tasting undecided as to whether they would go down the "traditional" wedding cake path or opt for a more modern style of cake and finish such as our naked or barely frosted styles.
Leaving design briefly aside, we looked at flavours. The couple instantly fell in love with our lavender and vanilla bean buttercake. We added a white chocolate mud cake with raspberries to complement the lightness of the buttercake.
Looking towards design, we developed a cake that used the "traditional" notion of a wedding cake as inspiration but drew upon more modern influences. It's three tiers of a single height 6', 8' double-barrel and 10' single height base adding contemporary lines to the cake.
Finally, the three-tiers were finished in a barely frosted style, with arrangements of fresh blooms added by Bouquet Boutique, in keeping with Jessica and Julian's modern design. A stunning result!
Reflections From the Bride
Initial inspiration...
We did a lot of Instagram & Pinterest searching and funnily our favourite was a Vanilla Pod post!
Serving Cake as dessert...
We were that in love with the cake from our tasting that we wanted everyone to enjoy it as much as we had!
General Wedding Tips...
We had an on the day planner (Melinda & Danielle from White + White) and they are worth EVERY PENNY!!
My big tip would be to listen to the professionals, we followed the advice of our vendors and there is not an aspect of our wedding that we would tweak or change! Our view was that our vendors do/see weddings as a job – they know what they are doing, trust them!
The Vanilla Pod Experience...
Kirsty and the team from Vanilla Pod are a league above the rest! From our first conversation with Kirtsy right up until our wedding day Kirsty would check in and offer suggestions which was greatly appreciated. She is a lovely person to deal with and our overall dealing with Vanilla Pod was seamless.
Not to mention the cake! I have never had anything like it and it is safe to say that Julian and I will now have the Vanilla Butter Cake as a staple for our anniversaries, not to mention birthdays! There are just not enough positive words for Vanilla Pod! You will be blown away by everything this team has to offer!

The man in charge of the Government's new $1 billion regional economic development fund has dropped a big hint it could help pay for the regeneration of Dunedin's waterfront.
The suggestion came from Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones during an interview with the Otago Daily Times yesterday.
Mr Jones said Dunedin had taken "a number of knocks'' in recent years, from the closure of the Hillside workshops to the "brouhaha'' over a failed bid to build a 27-storey waterfront hotel in the city.
The city's latest ambitious project would need widespread support from the public, as well as civic and business leaders, if the Government was to dip into its new development fund, he said.
But if those hurdles were cleared, and analysis backed Dunedin's waterfront development plan, advocates for the project "would be pushing on an open door with me as minister''.
"It sounds like this particular proposal is heading in the right direction.
"Anything to do with harboursides ... is likely to get a tick from me,'' he said.
His comments came after Damien van Brandenburg, of Architecture Van Brandenburg, and Dunedin businessman Ian Taylor unveiled on Saturday a 30-year "masterplan'' for the regeneration of Steamer Basin.
The concept envisaged a series of signature buildings ringing the basin and a landmark pedestrian and cycling bridge connecting the area to the city, to be paid for by a mix of public and private funds.
The concept has received widespread public support, including in an informal ODT online poll in which 89% of the nearly 7000 votes were in favour of the proposal.
Key stakeholders in the area - the Otago Regional Council, Port Otago, Ngai Tahu and the Dunedin City Council - have also backed the concept, although some businesses neighbouring the potential development zone are more circumspect.
Mr Jones said he expected to discuss the project in more detail during an upcoming visit to Dunedin, as part of a wider tour of the South, details of which were yet to be finalised.
While the regional development fund's criteria were still being drawn up, the Government would respond to any "transformational'' project by looking for "an appropriate level to engage and transition such things into reality'', Mr Jones said.
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull is overseas, but earlier this month backed tapping into the fund to help pay for harbourside development, if the city qualified as a regional centre.
Dunedin South MP Clare Curran said she could not say if government funds would be available, but she wanted to "go in to bat'' for the project and the city.
Dunedin North MP David Clark, in an email, said it would be "great to see Dunedin's waterfront revitalised''.
"I'm not in a position to comment on government funding at this stage, but as the local MP, I will watch this proposed project with great interest.''

So, here is the sizing I cut my fabric up in. The fabric by the way was a thick canvas with a thick plastic backing. I used the plastic backing as the lining of the bag.
You can add a 1/4" seam around it, I didn't. So, my actual bag came out a little smaller than the measurements here. I pinned the front piece and the side pieces canvas side's together on my first stitching and sewed them together.
I then turned this piece right side out and sewed the bottom of the back piece on.
Now, this is going to sound confusing, but I turned the bag right side out again and sewed the two sides of the back piece onto the bag.
After this, I cleaned up the flaps edges and folded them under and sewed.
|bag finished without straps
For the strap I folded it in half and ironed in on the canvas side....and yes it was ok to iron, even with the other side being plastic. Then I folded it again (quartered it) so that the sides were touching in the middle and ironed it again. Keeping the sides touching in the middle I folding the whole thing in half and sewed along the edge.
I used gromets to attach the strap to the bag. Then using the fabric transfer paper I transfered my image (google image search) onto the front of the flap.

Mood Disorder and Addictions, Anxiety/Panic Disorders, Schizophrenia, Dementia, Neurological Disorders (e.g. Dystonia, Chronic Pain Syndromes)
Translational Systems Level Neuroscience
- mechanistic understanding of psychiatric and neurological disorders
- identification of objective biomarkers for psychiatric and neurological disorders
Psychiatry remains entirely clinical and therefore subjective with no objective biomarkers to guide clinical practice and research. For most of the rest of medicine, biomarkers are of crucial importance. Consequently, development of psychiatric biomarkers is a priority which my work aims to address. The work is fundamentally translational.
I am interested in a range of common psychiatric disorders, aiming to improve understanding of illness and therapeutic mechanisms, with a focus on treatment resistant illness. Two themes particularly interest me: a) the 'biology-phenomenology gap', whereby current clinical and psychological understanding is profoundly separated from biological understanding of medication effects, due to a fundamental lack of understanding of the brain at a 'systems' level, and b) the identification of objective biomarkers for psychiatric disorders, for individual patient management.
Regarding the first theme, my approach to achieving a better understanding of syndrome and therapeutic mechanisms uses neuroimaging based studies of psychiatric disorders, focusing largely on the use of reinforcement learning (also neuroeconomic) paradigms, sometimes involving computational models of brain function. A recent focus is testing Deakin and Graeff's predictions about depressive illness using loss-avoidance and reward-gain instrumental learning.
With regard to the second theme, my focus is on the development of machine learning-based methods, to identify biomarkers for accurately predicting clinically relevant variables for individual patients. Initial publications were 'proof of concept' studies for situations where the 'gold standard' was well established clinically. A recent focus is making accurate individual patient predictions where none are otherwise currently possible (e.g. ADHD medication response prior to exposure to methylphenidate, determining an accurate risk score for dementia for elderly patients presenting with Mild Cognitive Impairment).

We — specifically the humans among us — are a very uncreativebunch.
While we excel at refining existing ideas and solutions, we'reextraordinarily poor at creative, original thought.
And I'm not just talking about business, scientific orengineering creativity: Even in the realm of the creative arts(writing, art, music), many practitioners are simply absorbing(being "inspired by") what others are doing and then making ittheir own.
In a way we're all unintentional, subconscious plagiarists,and while we often don't even realize it, many of our "original"ideas are nothing more than refinements (or degradations) of thosethat we've come across elsewhere at some point in our time on thisEarth.
Other times it's completely accidental.
Many of the great inventions in science, mathematics, medicine,and healthcare, for instance, weren't scientifically pursued withan engineering discipline, but were rather accidental discoveries(usually stumbled upon while searching for a slightly better way ofbuilding a different mousetrap).
And sometimes confused communicationsyields innovation.
Many of my best ideas weren't the result of quiet time in deepcontemplation — in fact I've found intentional, focusedthought to be terribly unproductive — but rather were thewonderful benefit of the bad habit of not paying complete attentionto presentations or media.
Quite a few times I've glanced over an article or casuallylistened to a presentation while distracted; drawing inferences andconclusions based upon what I think is being presented tome. As my mind casts it into a workable solution, I've often foundthat what I visualized bears little correlation with what wasactually described. A few inputs, and the presumption thatit's a logical solution, fooled my brain into creating newsolutions out of nowhere, in a way that I could never have doneotherwise.
This, I suppose, is the foundation for brainstorming sessions.It's the reason why it's often productive to randomize all sorts ofproduct or business ideas and them merge them into seeminglybizarre combinations (I created this "How WillYou Get Rich?" tool as a joke, but was surprized to find meactually stopping on some of the supposedly joke suggestions,imaginary scenarios where they would work).
How do youinnovate How do you engage the lateral thinking part of yourbrain, thinking up creative and novel solutions toproblems?

Bouncing Around
Well we made it past the half way mark and Tim hasn't pulled all is hair out!! The last two Sundays we traveled up to NoVA to visit some mega churches! We first visited McLean Bible's mini campus, and boy was it big. Sitting up in the nose bleed section we got to view three large screens with the words for the music (just in case we were old and couldn't see the front screen). We felt like little fish in a really big pond. After the campus visit we traveled up to MD to visit the Hollowells! We had a great time eating lunch, touring the camp and chillin with the kids and a surprise visitor. This past Sunday we went back to the hubbub of NoVA and visited Vienna Pres, which is more up our alley. We both really enjoyed the service, ran into some old friends and stayed for lunch. All in all it has been fun being able to worship and not get int erupted or be "working". It has been a treat to enjoy the Lord's day.

Bamboo scaffolding has been widely used in construction for centuries. Many famous landmarks, most notably The Great Wall of China, were built us in bamboo scaffolding. Construction workers in Hong Kong still use traditional bamboo to build scaffolding covering 21st century buildings.
We propose to use these building techniques and materials to create an immersive experience that allows viewers/participants to enter and walk around structure.

Home Made Power - a Summary of Common Sources
Do you wish to learn about using home made power?
Here is a rundown of a few of the more popular choices for generating your own power source. They not only help you save money, plus most of them are environmentally friendly, too.

Useful Resources
The continually escalating costs of powering your home via your local electricity company is probably making your budget groan at the end of the month.
During the winter months, your utilities bill probably doubles while you are trying to keep your home warm, and in some areas, the summer months play havoc with your budget while trying to keep your home cool.
For this reason, many people are starting to investigate alternative sources of power to help keep their budget from going down the tubes and still enjoy the comforts that electricity driven appliances provide. There are many options to investigate when looking to create your own home made power, some of course are a little on the labor intensive side and others are easier to make with a small investment.
Some of these choices include wind turbines, solar panels, alternative fuels generators and hydropower. Each one of these power sources can be made at home with different benefits and varying start up costs. However, it is important when choosing to make your own home made power that you choose the right type of alternative power sources to suit your needs and your environment.
Making home made power from solar energy is probably the most popular source of alternative power, as we are very lucky to live on a planet where solar rays can be harnessed in almost all but the remote areas of the world. Solar energy, however, requires a substantial investment for the initial equipment, although the maintenance of the solar panels is almost zero once it is installed. Solar panels that are correctly installed will give you an unlimited amount of energy as well as an uninterruptible power supply to rival the best power companies' efforts.
Wind turbines and generators, on the other hand, need to be installed in areas where there are not only strong winds, but constant winds to keep the turbines running all the time. Erecting a wind turbine in areas where there are only slight breezes or occasional wind storms will only give you the minimum amount of power if you have the capacity to store the energy generated while the wind is blowing. If you live in a coastal area where you can take advantage of the winds blowing off the ocean, then a wind turbine will work wonderfully and also help your budget to recover from paying those rising utilities bills.
Another possible source of home made power is hydropower, which is generated by the movement of water and also requires a considerable investment in the initial setup. Hydropower can also be used anywhere in the world - as long as the water keeps flowing, you will have an unlimited amount of energy. Small hydropower plants can also double up as a beautiful garden centre piece at the same time as providing energy to your home.
Alternative fuels generators are not as popular as the previously mentioned sources of power, as you have to create some type of fuel to power the generator. There are many experiments currently happening, all of which try to create fuel from anything including corn cobs and chicken waste.
Whatever choice you make as to making your own home made power, make sure that you do your research and build the power source that suits your lifestyle.
All the best!

1 Kings 19.9 thru 18 sullivanotsermon2
Josh Sullivan
1 Kings 19:9-18
The Un-giving up God
Pentecost 12
Focus: God does not give up on his people even when they want to give up on him.
Function: that the hearers call upon God in every trouble
Structure: Law then Gospel
Have you ever felt like giving up? Sometimes it seems that things just aren't worth it anymore. Everyone gives up at sports at one point or another. We've all had friends that have given up on us. And each of us probably has a friend that we have given up on. Human nature says that it's easy to throw in the towel when the going gets rough. And it is. But have you ever given up on God?
My friend Mark did. Mark was never really a popular guy. In fact, when we were in elementary school my mother made me be his friend because no one else would. Gee, thanks mom. You see, if you wanted to be liked, it if you wanted to hang out with the cool kids, and if you wanted the ladies to notice you, then with Mark was not place you wanted to be.
I've known Mark all my life. We both started Lutheran school in the fourth grade. Mark and I made up half of the boys in the fourth grade class. We were also from a town about twenty miles away. In a class of fourteen, four of them being guys, it's pretty easy to make friends; unless you're name happened to be Mark.
Mark learned from a very early age to give up on himself. He was never the brightest. He certainly wasn't the most athletic. And he most certainly wasn't the most socially gifted person ever. But Mark had a heart of gold. He was loyal to the friends he did have and he'd do anything for them.
Throughout our time together in school I saw Mark try a lot, and I saw him fail a lot. He failed at making and keeping new friends. He failed at sports. He broke a different bone every year during football camp. He and I were the only two guys cut from the JV basketball team our freshman year of high school.
Somewhere along the desert landscape that is high school Mark learned a very important lesson. He learned how to give up. He began to feel sorry for himself. He had honestly tried after all. But his best efforts were simply not good enough for those around him. Mark even gave up on God. The thought of a savior who loves unconditionally was useless to Mark.
Mark even gave up on life. Mark told a few of us his plans to end his life. He would do it at our junior prom, in front of everyone. By the time prom rolled around all the teachers were on alert, keeping their eyes peeled. Mark didn't have a date that year either, but he still wanted to go. So that year I had two dates: my girlfriend on my right and Mark on my left.
I was terrified of what might happen that night. Mark had grown up in a decent Lutheran home. He had attended Lutheran school since the 4th grade. He wasn't the most popular, but he did have a few loyal friends. He had seen God active in his life before. But he was ready to throw in the towel nonetheless. He was ready to call it quits . . . for good. I thank God every time I think of that whole ordeal, because Mark didn't kill himself that night. He decided not to give up after all.
So I'll ask you again, have you ever felt like giving up? Or worse, have you ever given up? There are more pressures on you now then there have been for teens in the past. School pressures, trouble on the homefront like never before, and of course, your peers. There is plenty going on in your lives. There are many chances for each one of you to give up, to throw in the towel.
Many of you have seen God working in your life before. Maybe not by some miraculous wonder, but you have seen him nonetheless. That doesn't make it any easier when the temptation arises to give up on school, our families, or even our very lives.
Take the prophet Elijah for example. Elijah has seen firsthand the Lord working in full force. God had brought a drought on the land of Israel. God had even used Elijah to predict it. When a widow's son died, God raised the boy from the dead using the hands of Elijah. Elijah had seen a lot of stuff. He had done a lot of stuff.
Then he caps it all off with his own mountaintop experience. On a slope of Mount Carmel Elijah faces off with the 450 prophets of Baal. It's Yahweh vs. Baal in a winner-take-all match to the death. Elijah stands alone against the prophets of Baal, with an indecisive Israel in the middle, waiting to be convinced.
Elijah smashes his chances of winning by pouring three huge jars of water all over the sacrifice. There was so much water that the ditch around the altar was filled with it. This sacrifice was soaked. If Elijah hadn't been the underdog by this point, he was now. The charge: the God that answered by fire and consumed the sacrifice would go home victorious. We all know what happened.
Yahweh nuked Elijah's sacrifice. Yahweh saved the day, He proved himself mighty. He proved himself God. The drought was over and God caused it to rain like crazy. All of this through the mouth of Elijah. He had seen and done a lot. He had seen God do even more.
Yet in our text we see him running. We see him giving up. Elijah throws in the towel for several reasons. No one listened to him. The king and his wife were still bent on killing him and forsaking the true God. The people were still in an indecisive slumber. And it seemed as if he was the only one left who truly loved and served God. He had no other choice but to run away, to throw in the towel, to call it quits. Elijah had seen the enemy, and the enemy was too big.
So we're in good company when we want to give up and hide. After all, one of the greatest of the prophets did it.
But that's not the end of our story. Even though we may give up on God at times, we have a God who has never and will never give up on us! God speaks to Elijah on the mountain. He doesn't tell him to buck up. He doesn't tell Elijah to get over it and get back down to work. God reassures Elijah that he is, in fact, not the only one left. There others. Seven thousand others to be exact, who still are faithful. "Elijah, you are not alone."
If Elijah had been the only one left giving up would have been so much easier, he might have had an excuse. But God reminds Elijah that He is a God who doesn't give up on his people. Sure we feel like giving up all the time. The pressure is too great, the stress is more than we can handle. But our God does not give up on us. He won't.
God could have given up on Adam and Eve in the garden. After all, one simple rule to follow and they botch it up. God could have, and maybe should have given up on us. But instead of pushing them aside he gives them a promise instead. He would not abandon them to hell.
In Elijah's time, God could have given up on Israel. But He doesn't. And the same is true for us today. We look to the cross of Christ. It looked like all was lost that day. The Messiah dying. Not only that, but completely forsaken by his father. It looks like God might have given up that day. But in fact it's just the opposite.
In the cross of Christ we see God's unwavering, unyielding love for us. God refuses to give up on us. Jesus Christ was abandoned by his Father so that you and I would never have to be. God would stop at nothing to bring to you back to him, to reconcile you and him. God would not give up on Israel three thousand years earlier, and he refuses to throw in the towel now.
Children of God, your God is with you. "Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him." Elijah was not alone, and neither are you. Look around you again. Look to your right. Look to your left. All these people next to you share your faith and your fears. But you are not alone. You are in this together . . . with each other, and with your God. For He has said, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you," and, "behold, I am with you always, even until the very end of the age."
It's so easy to give in, give up, and throw in the towel. And we do it all the time. But our God doesn't. He proved it by walking this earth himself, Jesus, coming to seek and save the lost. Don't give up on God. He is doing things in you and through you that you may not even be able to imagine. He used Elijah, doubts and all; and He is using you as well. Amen.

Listen to this article
This was a strange evening and no mistake. Take one favourite hour-long opera, slice it up and mix with extracts from another play on the same theme, have the entire show acted out by a cast of puppets, and throw in an art installation, school of Damien Hirst. What would you call the finished product? Exactly – nobody seemed to be clear what this production was meant to be.
We know very little about the first performance of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas (the theory that the work was written to be performed by the young women of Josias Priest's school for girls in Chelsea has been discredited) but it seems doubtful, to say the least, that his audience circa 1690 expected to see the opera as part of a modern art installation or a puppet show. Authenticity was not the name of the game here. Rather it was a case of filling out an opera that has always seemed skimpy in its treatment of the Dido myth.
Adding extracts from Christopher Marlowe's Dido, Queen of Carthage was not a bad idea in itself. Although a century separates Marlowe from Purcell, the extracts were well chosen to fill the gaps and deftly interleaved by Tim Carroll – too much so in the final scene, where Purcell's flow kept getting interrupted by extra lines of dialogue. Yolanda Vasquez and Jonathan Oliver, the play's leading couple, spoke their lines clearly. Acting as such was not required, as the puppets provided the movements. A wooden Dido might not seem likely to engage the human emotions much, but she bled very realistically after her suicide by stabbing. The strange body part exhibits, displayed in glass cases, were used to illustrate the sorceress's hellish curses – shades of Shakespeare's "eye of newt, and toe of frog".
Did the opera seem greater or lesser than usual? The latter, I am inclined to think, despite the eloquence of Sarah Connolly's Dido and Giles Underwood's uncommonly sensitive Aeneas, heading an expressive musical performance by the Choir and Orchestra of the Enlightenment, directed by Steven Devine. This far-flung artistic concoction had its entertaining and even touching moments, but on the way out one question must have been on everybody's lips: "Why?"

Our Sandringham Flower Show DiaryLeave a Comment
7th July 2010
We are nearly there! Build up starts Monday so what I'll do from then on (if I get time) is�take photos of the build as it comes along and upload them on here – warts and all! If something goes wrong – I'll tell you – if something goes right – I'll definitely tell you :). I think it's going to be a tricky one purely for the reason that we are inside a marquee – and this garden has a lot of height – why has it got a lot of height when its in a marquee I hear you cry – well… because we are mad�- that's why! We do love a challenge and this is going to be one heck of one – did I mention the ground is also on a slope? Should be a very interesting build! I plan to hide here in the office for most of it – venturing out armed with camera and chocolate only occasionally and�properly surfacing when its time for the planting – that is the plan… I don't think it will quite go that way. But no matter I shall be ready for it -�with my trusty clip board and reams of lists!
Whilst I have been writing this – we have just had a delivery of our gorgeous Extex upholstery kindly donated by�Marina Mill�– it looks fantastic and we are so lucky to have Marina Mill onboard – their outdoor fabric is just lovely! It's hard to believe that it is for outdoors!

fire is incredibly difficult to get a clear shot of.
you know, when you're looking into flames, you can see each point & lick of fire delineated & defined.
the camera doesn't see it that way.

Getting woke is a revolutionary act of resistance against systems and structures that would strip humans of their inherent value. Jesus was and is woke- we can be too.
The Church Needs Lemonade
Intuition. Denial. Anger. Apathy. Emptiness. Accountability. Reformation. Forgiveness. Resurrection. Hope. Redemption.
These words are integral to the Christian narrative. Try to find a bible tract or gospel presentation that doesn't have at least 50% of them. Christians love these words… Until Beyonce says them…
Jesus Shut It Down and they Murdered Him For It
When Jesus shows up to the temple he sees what is wrong and chooses to interrupt it. He flips tables, disrupts the temple economy and decries the injustice toward "the other." He shuts it down.
I Was Raised a White Child but Black Lives Matter Made Me a Black Woman
I always joke that if I were to write a memoir about those early years that it would be called Grandma Tried. But really…she did try, but the reality of racist family roots on all sides doesn't set a white woman up well to raise her biracial granddaughter to be a picture of #blackgirlmagic.

Viewpoint: Remember the Example of Quincy, Illinois
Contributed By Sarah Jane Weaver, Church News staff writer
Article Highlights
- In 1838, persecution increased and the Saints fled Missouri.
- The destitute Saints found refuge in the town of Quincy, Illinois.
- Despite being outnumbered by the refugees, the people of Quincy opened their homes to them.
"For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in. … Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:35, 40).

Refuge during a time of persecution
During the winter of 1838–1839, early Latter-day Saints—facing an extermination order and extreme persecution—fled Missouri. The Prophet Joseph Smith and his counselors in the First Presidency, Sidney Rigdon and Hyrum Smith, were in jail.
In the freezing temperatures of winter, they found themselves looking across the Mississippi River to Quincy, Illinois. Residents in Quincy, a community of 1,500, were generous and sympathetic to the plight of the exiled Mormons. Many of them opened their homes or collected money, food, clothing, and other necessities for the Mormon refugees.
Throughout the late winter and spring, thousands of Latter-day Saints arrived at the western bank of the Mississippi across from Quincy. Elizabeth Haven wrote that in late February "about 12 families cross the river into Quincy every day and about 30 are constantly at the other side waiting to cross; it is slow and grimy; there is only one ferry boat to cross in" (Church History in the Fulness of Times Student Manual, chapter 17).
As Quincy filled with hundreds of refugees, the living conditions there deteriorated. The Saints, most of whom were almost entirely destitute, suffered from hunger in the cold, rain, and mud. The community of Quincy opened its homes to almost 5,000 of those refugees.
Quincy's legacy in a time of refugee crisis
Today, Quincy is remembered as a heartwarming chapter in a largely unpleasant period in Church history.
The Church is so grateful for the sacrifice and compassion of early members of the city that on June 28, 2002, President Gordon B. Hinckley traveled with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to Quincy for a concert of thanks. "We come here as those who love and appreciate the city of Quincy, Illinois," he said. "In the annals of our Church, the city of Quincy and its citizens will always occupy a position of the highest esteem. We shall always be grateful for the kindness, the hospitality, the civility with which your people met our people who were exiles from the state of Missouri."
After traveling to Europe recently, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, said in a Church News interview that he was again reminded of Quincy and the early members who "came there and were so desperate and in need of help."
President Uchtdorf said this legacy of compassion exemplified by those who helped early Latter-day Saints in Quincy is being carried on today by Church members living in Europe, where the Church has grown strong, and "committed and willing" members are helping refugees.
Some areas in Europe are receiving 1,500 refugees per month, President Uchtdorf said. Latter-day Saints "treat them with kindness and are, in loving care, reaching out. … The Church and its members are doing significant things, following the Savior."
The Church's efforts to assist refugees around the world echoes a directive to take care of the poor and needy that was taught by the Savior during His mortal ministry: "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in. … Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:35, 40).
In Leviticus 19, we have been given a scriptural injunction from the Lord to care for strangers among us: "And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself" (Leviticus 19:33–34).
A letter from the First Presidency dated October 27, 2015, states: "It is with great concern and compassion that we observe the plight of the millions of people around the world who have fled their homes seeking relief from civil conflict and other hardships. Thanks to the generous help of our members, the Church is providing assistance to migrants and refugees in several countries. … We invite Church units, families, and individuals to participate in local refugee relief projects, where practical."
Fulfilling our duty to help
Elder Patrick Kearon, General Authority Seventy and President of the Church's Europe Area, said in his April 2016 general conference address that there are an estimated 60 million refugees in the world today.
"As members of the Church, as a people, we don't have to look back far in our history to reflect on times when we were refugees, violently driven from homes and farms over and over again," he said.
What can Latter-day Saints, who share a spiritual legacy with refugees, do to help? "Begin on your knees in prayer," Elder Kearon said. "Then think in terms of doing something close to home, in your own community, where you will find people who need help in adapting to their new circumstances. The ultimate aim is their rehabilitation to an industrious and self-reliant life" ("Refuge from the Storm").
The story of Drusilla Hendricks is typical of the Quincy experience. Her husband, James, had been injured and was carried about on a stretcher. The family arrived in Quincy and secured a room "partly underground and partly on top of the ground." Within two weeks, they were on the verge of starving, having only one spoonful of sugar and a saucer full of cornmeal to eat. That afternoon, "Rubin Alred came by and told her he had had a feeling they were out of food, so on his way into town he had a sack of grain ground into meal for them" (Church History in the Fulness of Times Student Manual).
We can learn much from those who lent a helping hand in Quincy and in Europe—and other places across the globe where this legacy continues today.
As President Thomas S. Monson said during his April 1990 general conference address, "We have a responsibility to extend help as well as hope to the hungry, to the homeless, and to the downtrodden both at home and abroad" ("My Brother's Keeper").

A major frustration for teachers using Google Drive is how to organize files that are "Shared with Me" into a folder on the drive; after all, it is NOT fun to try and search through the "Shared with Me" files for a doc that you can't remember the name of or who sent it to you. So we learned about three really easy features: search modifiers, Drag-and-drop, and Shift + Z. Check it out!
Just a final reminder about Google Drive: you can access the keyboard shortcut screen by using Shift + ?.

- 3 ounces goat cheese (Rindless, at Room Temperature, About 1/3 Cup)
- 16 pitted dates (Split Lengthwise, but Not Cut in Half)
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin (Rinsed and Patted Dry, Silverskin and Fat Trimmed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons mesquite seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shallots (Finely Chopped)
- 3/4 cup tawny port
- 1 cup raspberry chipotle sauce
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Place goat cheese in a sandwich bag, press into the corner and snip off the end to make a piping bag. Pipe cheese into the dates. Cut each tenderloin lengthwise, almost, but not quite through. Stuff each tenderloin with filled dates and secure with crosswise loops of butcher's twine. Brush tenderloins with the oil and season evenly with sweet mesquite seasoning.
- Bake 15 minutes. Flip tenderloins and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degree F, about 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
- While the tenderloins are roasting, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Add port and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid is syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add raspberry chipotle sauce and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and keep warm.
