In response to Neil's comment a quick run through of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, which if nothing else will clarify what we disagree on! My comments are in square brackets.
Article I.
We affirm that the Holy Scriptures are to be received as the authoritative Word of God.
[I have problems with this straight off. The authoritative Word of God is Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity – as Scripture itself testifies (John 1 above all). The authority of Scripture is derivative from the authority of God. Scripture has authority precisely because it is the principal testimony to the Word, not because it IS the Word (in this sense).]
We deny that the Scriptures receive their authority from the Church, tradition, or any other human source.
[Hmmm. Maybe. This gets to the debate: when the church selected and gathered the Scriptures together (which is surely indisputable?), guided by the Spirit etc, were they recognising a pre-existing authority, or were they bestowing the authority? I think more the latter, but I don't see this as either/or, it wouldn't trouble me too much to accept the former option.]
Article II.
We affirm that the Scriptures are the supreme written norm by which God binds the conscience, and that the authority of the Church is subordinate to that of Scripture.
[Happy with the first bit, not with the second, not so much because I want to say that the authority of the Church is higher than that of Scripture, but because I reject the division. I don't think Scripture can be understood without a community of interpretation.]
We deny that church creeds, councils, or declarations have authority greater than or equal to the authority of the Bible.
[Same as previous comment. The Nicene creed is non-biblical (homoousios) but it is the determining interpretation of Scripture, I would argue, and inspired.]
Article III.
We affirm that the written Word in its entirety is revelation given by God.
We deny that the Bible is merely a witness to revelation, or only becomes revelation in encounter, or depends on the responses of men for its validity.
[Erk. This is what might be called 'Scriptural Apollinarianism'; it's profoundly anti-incarnational. It presumes a radical division between God and man which is what I understand Christianity to be all about overcoming. This is where the philosophical problems become most apparent, for this perspective can only make sense with an Enlightenment-era understanding of text and meaning. If you don't accept that (eg, if you think Wittgenstein's account of language makes sense, as I do) then this article is literally meaningless.]
Article IV.
We affirm that God who made mankind in His image has used language as a means of revelation.
We deny that human language is so limited by our creatureliness that it is rendered inadequate as a vehicle for divine revelation. We further deny that the corruption of human culture and language through sin has thwarted God's work of inspiration.
Article V.
We affirm that God's revelation in the Holy Scriptures was progressive.
We deny that later revelation, which may fulfill earlier revelation, ever corrects or contradicts it. We further deny that any normative revelation has been given since the completion of the New Testament writings.
[Hmm. Not sure about the first one. It seems to give the written text more authority than the living Word. Needs a bit more unpacking. Happy with the second sentence.]
Article VI.
We affirm that the whole of Scripture and all its parts, down to the very words of the original, were given by divine inspiration.
[Still has the Modernist understanding of 'text' hovering behind it.]
We deny that the inspiration of Scripture can rightly be affirmed of the whole without the parts, or of some parts but not the whole.
[All of Scripture is God-breathed (even if that's a reference to the Septuagint!)]
Article VII.
We affirm that inspiration was the work in which God by His Spirit, through human writers, gave us His Word. The origin of Scripture is divine. The mode of divine inspiration remains largely a mystery to us.
[No, this is profoundly wrong. The INCARNATION "was the work in which God by His Spirit… gave us His Word". This sums up everything I disagree with about doctrines of inerrancy – it places the text in the place of the living Christ.]
We deny that inspiration can be reduced to human insight, or to heightened states of consciousness of any kind.
[OK, pretty much – the weight is in the word 'reduced'. I think human insight is precisely the way in which revelation works – that doesn't stop it from being God-driven. Again, there is a gnostic distinction (anti-incarnational) being presumed here.]
Article VIII.
We affirm that God in His work of inspiration utilized the distinctive personalities and literary styles of the writers whom He had chosen and prepared.
We deny that God, in causing these writers to use the very words that He chose, overrode their personalities.
Article IX.
We affirm that inspiration, through not conferring omniscience, guaranteed true and trustworthy utterance on all matters of which the Biblical authors were moved to speak and write.
[Yes – the intentions of the Biblical writers were met.]
We deny that the finitude or falseness of these writers, by necessity or otherwise, introduced distortion or falsehood into God's Word.
[Hmmm……. What are the criteria being assumed?]
Article X.
We affirm that inspiration, strictly speaking, applies only to the autographic text of Scripture, which in the providence of God can be ascertained from available manuscripts with great accuracy. We further affirm that copies and translations of Scripture are the Word of God to the extent that they faithfully represent the original.
[Nyaah…. This is just the sort of cul-de-sac which the earlier mistakes lead into. Inspiration works through the relationship (that's an implication of accepting the doctrine of the Trinity) between text and reader. It doesn't stand on its own, as if the tablets of the Ten commandments should be discovered by people who didn't speak Ancient Hebrew, and suddenly they understood the point!]
We deny that any essential element of the Christian faith is affected by the absence of the autographs. We further deny that this absence renders the assertion of Biblical inerrancy invalid or irrelevant.
[First sentence is fine, but I suspect the second sentence is true regardless of the questions of authorship!]
Article XI.
We affirm that Scripture, having been given by divine inspiration, is infallible, so that, far from misleading us, it is true and reliable in all the matters it addresses.
[OK, dependent on what 'all the matters it addresses' refers to.]
We deny that it is possible for the Bible to be at the same time infallible and errant in its assertions. Infallibility and inerrancy may be distinguished but not separated.
[This is entirely dependent upon what the criteria of error are taken to be. I don't see a problem with something being spiritually and theologically without error, and also in contradiction to present day scientific knowledge (which is also liable to error and change over time).]
Article XII.
We affirm that Scripture in its entirety is inerrant, being free from all falsehood, fraud, or deceit.
[As previous comment.]
We deny that Biblical infallibility and inerrancy are limited to spiritual, religious, or redemptive themes, exclusive of assertions in the fields of history and science. We further deny that scientific hypotheses about earth history may properly be used to overturn the teaching of Scripture on creation and the flood.
[Ah. This I disagree with, and this I think is the application of Modernist philosophy to Scripture (an idolatrous undertaking IMHO). I think the only valid inerrancy is 'spiritual, religious and redemptive'. I don't think questions of historical and scientific accuracy were a part of the Biblical writers' worldview and I don't see it as being at all important. (The viewing of such questions as important indicates the degree of Babylonish captivity held by the person asserting it, I would argue; ie, it shows how far secular values have taken root.)]
Article XIII.
We affirm the propriety of using inerrancy as a theological term with reference to the complete truthfulness of Scripture.
[Like homoousios, inerrancy is a non-Scriptural term being used to determine the interpretation of Scripture. The difference is that homoousios was affirmed by the wider Body of Christ, and assented to for centuries. The same cannot be said for inerrancy, which is clearly a recent innovation, and one which is repudiated by the vast majority of the Body.]
We deny that it is proper to evaluate Scripture according to standards of truth and error that are alien to its usage or purpose. We further deny that inerrancy is negated by Biblical phenomena such as a lack of modern technical precision, irregularities of grammar or spelling, observational descriptions of nature, the reporting of falsehoods, the use of hyperbole and round numbers, the topical arrangement of metrical, variant selections of material in parallel accounts, or the use of free citations.
[As I read that first sentence it seems exactly what I'm criticising the doctrine of inerrancy for doing!! Maybe I've missed something crucial here… ]
Article XIV.
We affirm the unity and internal consistency of Scripture.
[OK. The unity and internal consistency of Scripture comes from its pointing to Christ.]
We deny that alleged errors and discrepancies that have not yet been resolved violate the truth claims of the Bible.
Article XV.
We affirm that the doctrine of inerrancy is grounded in the teaching of the Bible about inspiration.
[OK (don't agree, but it's a reasonable argument).]
We deny that Jesus' teaching about Scripture may be dismissed by appeals to accommodation or to any natural limitation of His humanity.
[OK, but His humanity mustn't be evacuated in gnostic fashion.]
Article XVI.
We affirm that the doctrine of inerrancy has been integral to the Church's faith throughout its history.
[Rubbish. At least, not in the sense argued for here.]
We deny that inerrancy is a doctrine invented by scholastic Protestantism, or is a reactionary position postulated in response to negative higher criticism.
[That is pretty much what I think it is!!]
Article XVII.
We affirm that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the Scriptures, assuring believers of the truthfulness of God's written Word.
We deny that this witness of the Holy Spirit operates in isolation from or against Scripture.
[Huh? John 3.8 anyone? Sure, it doesn't operate 'against' Scripture, or contrary to Scripture, but to deny that it can operate apart from Scripture is (again) to elevate Scripture up into the Godhead.]
Article XVIII.
We affirm that the text of Scripture is to be interpreted by grammatico-historical exegesis, taking account of its literary forms and devices, and that Scripture is to interpret Scripture.
We deny the legitimacy of any treatment of the text or quest for sources lying behind it that leads to relativizing, dehistoricizing, or discounting its teaching, or rejecting its claims of authorship.
[Fine. Though I don't think an understanding of source criticism does (necessarily) lead "to relativizing, dehistoricizing, or discounting its teaching".]
Article XIX.
We affirm that a confession of the full authority, infallibility and inerrancy of Scripture is vital to a sound understanding of the whole of the Christian faith. We further affirm that such confession should lead to increasing conformity to the image of Christ.
[Once more, there is a 'spin' here which I resist. Acknowledging the authority of Scripture, I'm fine with that (I'm that much of a Protestant) – it's the inclusion of 'infallibility and inerrancy' that I have difficulty with.]
We deny that such confession is necessary for salvation. However, we further deny that inerrancy can be rejected without grave consequences, both to the individual and to the Church.
[Wow, that's a remarkably liberal sentiment to conclude with! What are the grave consequences being referred to?]
I'm not going to comment on all the 'exposition' at the end, except to quote this:
"The result of taking this step is that the Bible that God gave loses its authority, and what has authority instead is a Bible reduced in content according to the demands of one's critical reasoning and in principle reducible still further once one has started. This means that at bottom independent reason now has authority, as opposed to Scriptural teaching. If this is not seen and if for the time being basic evangelical doctrines are still held, persons denying the full truth of Scripture may claim an evangelical identity while methodologically they have moved away from the evangelical principle of knowledge to an unstable subjectivism, and will find it hard not to move further."
This is exactly what I'm accusing fundamentalism of doing!! Irony upon irony.

TRENTON, N.J. — The Portland Sea Dogs' offense finally went quiet.
After tearing up the opposition on the first seven games of an eight-game trip, Portland limped home to Hadlock Field following an uncharacteristic 8-0 defeat to the Trenton Thunder on Thursday night.
After averaging 7.3 runs to win 6 of 7 against Reading and Trenton, including Wednesday's victory against the rehabbing CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees, the Sea Dogs managed just three hits Thursday night.
A day after moving 28 games over .500 for the first time since 1995, Portland had to settle for a still-successful 6-2 trip and will look to get back to their clubhouse mantra when they host New Britain for the first of three games beginning at 6 p.m. Friday.
"We mess around before games and after games that, 'Hey, no one can beat us. We're the best team in the minor leagues right now,' " catcher Blake Swihart said following Wednesday's win. "We come out swinging. That's just our team mentality."
On Thursday, though, the Thunder couldn't get the bats going against Matt Tracy (8-2) and four relievers. Tracy allowed only Michael Almanzar's fourth-inning single in five impressive innings.
Portland's best chance came in the second when it loaded the bases with two outs for Shannon Wilkerson, who had to wait out a 55-minute rain delay before striking out looking to end the inning.
The Sea Dogs had gotten runners on with a pair of walks and a hit batsman. Tracy retired eight of the next nine batters to finish his evening.
Meanwhile, Mike Augliera (3-7) was continuing his struggles for Portland. Pitching about 45 minutes from his Old Bridge, New Jersey, home, Augliera surrendered six runs on 11 hits – both of which matched season worsts – in four innings. The left-hander is winless in his last eight starts, going 0-3 with a 7.02 ERA over that stretch.
The Thunder knocked Augliera around in the first for three runs on five hits. He also got some bad luck in the inning when right fielder Jonathan Roof misjudged Peter O'Brien's pop fly single that loaded the bases. Roof left the game after injuring his hand when he dove trying to make the catch.
Rob Segedin's two-run double and Zach Wilson's RBI single followed, giving Trenton more than enough runs.
Swihart hits CC: Of the five hits the Sea Dogs got off of Sabathia in 32/3 innings during the lefty's start Wednesday, Swihart's two doubles stood out. He doubled to left in the first and drove the ball to deep center for an RBI double in the third in Portland's 8-6 victory.
"It's not the first time I faced a big leaguer, so I just went up there with the same approach I always have and it just worked out for me," he said. "Just put the bat on some good pitches."
The catching prospect, who entered Thursday batting .303 with nine homers and 44 RBI, certainly gained some confidence from his success against the six-time All-Star and 2007 AL Cy Young winner.
"If you can prove to yourself that, 'Hey, I can put a good swing on a ball against him,' I feel like I can do it at the next level,'" he said.

This week the Made Especially For You has a sketch challenge. Use the sketch above to make a project. This week's challenge is sponsored by Pattie's Creations.
For my card I chose to use Pattie's Valentine Bear. I Copic colored him different shades of brown and layered him on a scalloped heart die cut on top of a heart doily. I wrapped red and white bakers twine around the base three times and tied a bow. I white washed some Kraft cardstock and trimmed three edges and used a Kraft patterned paper for the fourth edge. Hope you like it!
Inky and glitter fingers for all!

It's January in Arizona! While much of the country is buried under snow, we're gearing up for some fun in the sun. When you live in a state that has some of the best weather in the country (most of the year, anyway), it makes perfect sense to choose a home designed to take full advantage of outdoor living. Here are a few of the latest popular new home features that let homeowners enjoy Arizona living to the fullest.
Courtyards add expanded living space, give your family more room to spread out, and provide multiple entertaining spaces for kids and adults. With the right furniture, a fireplace and maybe a stocked bar, you'll find plenty of reasons to enjoy the great outdoors year-round.
Casitas, Ramadas and Cabanas
If you like to entertain, casitas, ramadas and cabanas are great ways to transform your backyard into the ideal party spot. Throw in a flat-screen TV or two, and you can alternate between watching the big game and cooling off with a dip in the pool.
Putting Greens
Why should you have to drive to a golf course or Top Golf to improve your game? With a backyard putting green, you can work on your stroke any time the urge strikes. If you have tweens or teens, this is a great way to get the kids off their phones and into some outdoor activity time.

You wanna talk about something today? Well, linkup with some fabulous girls for some Tuesday Talk - Jessica or any of the other hosts. :)
Today there are a few things I wanna talk about:
1. My hip. I talked a lil bit about my looming procedure on my hip. I had surgery on my right hip about five years ago for hip impingement, well, it's back & I have to go through the whole thing again except this time both the specialist & the surgeon have since retired so I'm starting off new...kinda. Well, the specialist my primary doctor has me set to see doesn't have a great reputation, however, he's done work for my husband & his parents & they like him. So, I figured that I will go meet with him & if I don't get a good feeling, I'll go elsewhere. I already had anxiety about this whole situation & now trying to find the right doctor to take care of me is just creating more anxiety & I am not liking it. I know that it will all work out & I'll get the attention I need but it's just a lil scary right now.
2. My stepdaughters' mother. Sunshine has been trying to contact her mother for weeks now with little or no response. During one response, Sunshine was told by her mother that she was "busy doing things she liked". Apparently, talking to your youngest daughter is not something she likes. This whole ordeal is not new to me as their mother did the same thing to Trouble at about the same age as Sunshine is now. Nothing has changed except that this time, Sunshine WANTS to talk with her mother, Trouble just cut her out. I've said things before to their mother about staying in touch & talking with her daughter/s. I did it again this morning. I just sent her a message saying that she needed to respond or that eventually, Sunshine will just give up on their relationship. Although both of these girls have told me that I am their mom even though I didn't give birth to them, I still know that it hurts them that their mother doesn't talk to them & the only time she does is when she wants to get sympathy from them or yell at them about something they did or didn't do. It's just frustrating that a mother can treat her daughters that way. I am sure that nothing will change but I know that I tried & that I have always been & will always be the bigger, more positive person.

The Journals of Sparrowhawk
Welcome the the Journals of Sparrowhawk
The only true tale of the strangest family in the land. A bunch of misfits in race, stature and outlook who only get along because "Dad sez so" and will have us all doing chores around the farm as the alternative.
The story starts in Wolsingham – A tiny fishing and farming community by the sea. Our father Kerwin is selling up the family farm and moving somewhere a little smaller. Time for the ragtag bunch of youngsters to move out!
Dad never explained where we all came from and our mother Madaline died 12 years ago. The only thing we can be sure of is that we were all adopted….
The world as you know it
The Kings realm stretches from East to West, coast to coast. Restricted by mountains in the main to the north and gently fading in power and influence to the south where vast plains and little rain make farming difficult and habitation by decent folk a rarity.
The Kings realm was not always so peaceful. Not three generations ago the empire was split into 5 individual waring fiefdoms; Ewland, Berwick, Egmanton, Strathland and Kilmuirland. Bitter fighting reduced many of the lands to over taxed and over levied ghost towns. That was until the Church of Kord managed to forge an alliance between the nations and united them under a single King. Since then Kord has been the patron deity of the Kings Realm.
To the north-west of the realm is a colder and more stark land; Frequent downpours wash away the topsoil making farming almost impossible with flashfloods liable to carry off whole villages. This vast swathe of land continues to the north jutting to a jagged set of mountains also extending in that direction. Hobgoblins, Orcs and goblins are known to live in this land in great numbers as well as many of the other green races. In the past there have been border wars where food shortage in the north have driven the creatures to pillage farm stocks. A few years ago there was one raid too many and the baron at the time eventually put a force together (after much petitioning) capable of driving the raiders back into their own lands.
Far to the north-east is the great Wyld Forest. Through the southern section of this great wood lies Wylds Way; a great road that joins the east to west; running for some 2000 miles in as straight a line as was practicably possible.
Your village, Wolsingham, is nestled at the very western edge of the Kings realm next to the sea. To the west of Wolsingham is Brides Bay beyond which lies the Raging Sea which extends beyond most local peoples experiences. Within this sea are many small islands, some of which are near enough to be visited on a quiet summers day. Wolsingham itself is primarily a farming community though with the border to the north being so close there's definitely a martial element to the area. There's obligatory training in the martial arts for all those not already undergoing tutelage in other more intellectual or spiritual pursuits.
The weather in Wolsingham is temperate with mild winters and pleasant summers. Spring brings the emergence of various crops and the gamboling of lambs under the warming sun.
There are many other land masses upon the world, of which the realm of King Artemis III is but one.
One of the 5 great nations that merged to form the Kings realm.
A small town of some 7000 inhabitants, Wheloon is mostly known as a border town between the Kings realm to the east and the great plains of Tasseldale to its SW. A great cathedral to Pelor has been built in the town, bringing some of the Splendour of the Kings realm further west.
To the far East
The over-riding authority in the realm is the King, currently Artemis III. A benevolent leader seeking the best for all those under his protection. On a smaller scale are a number of barons responsible for maintaining law and order, collecting taxes and keeping the general populace both under control and safe from the many dangers in the world. In reality the law-keepers and protective forces of the realm are very much gathered in the east where the three great cities of the realm are; Bewcastle (where the king has his seat of power), Gilsand and Lanercost. To the far south, and to a much lesser extent the west, people who venture out that far do so at their own risk.
Many hundreds of small islands are dotted around the Kings realm.
One such island is the sub-tropical Mortabi island. Here, two small tribes eeked out an uneasy existence separated by a small volcano and some ancient temples. A corrupting black smoke was also encountered.

My thoughts on the letter - 'Three Hollyhocks'
by Flower Lover, 1938.Flower Lover was saddened by the state of her garden after the ravages of weather and pests. However she ended her day happy and looking forward to her garden after a kind and thoughtful neighbour shared half of her plants. The neighbour said "It isn't much" but Flower Lover was so overwhelmed and appreciative.
How often do our friends do what they consider 'little things' that we really appreciate. Even a simple smile when one is feeling sad is often a great uplifting expression that makes one feel they are important to someone.
One does not know how others feel with what one says or does. We should all try to be more kind to ourselves and others.

Kolhapur: Citizens may soon have little to fear while digging into their favourite street snacks with cleanliness and hygiene training on the cards for over 1,000 street vendors.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will team up with students from the department of food science and technology of the Shivaji University, Kolhapur (SUK), to train more than 1,000 street side food vendors in the city about importance of the cleanliness and hygiene.
S M Deshmukh, assistant commissioner, city unit of FDA, said there is a dire need of training and assistance for streetside food vendors to let them know about the importance of food hygiene, cleanliness, how it should be stored and how they can keep the food fresh. He added that it will help to improve food safety.
Deshmukh said the training will begin from June 15 and the department will start with a survey of such vendors. It is likely that the number of street vendors may be more than 1,000.
Another official from the department said the number of street food vendors has increased in the recent years and most of them are at public places like Rankala lake, movie theatres, the RTO office, and bazaar areas.
"There is always concern about the cleanliness and possibility of related illnesses where streetside food is concerned. All vendors need to know about the scientific methods of food preparation, its storage, and how small things like wearing gloves while serving food and keeping food at the right temperature can help greatly," said the official.
An official from the university department said the FDA initiative an innovative one as students will be able to interact with vendors and tell them about food safety. He added that the students are well-suited for this initiative since they study various aspects of food and food precessing such as preservation, chemistry, quality and others.

Dr. Bruchalski's Conversion: Abortionist to Pro-Life Doctor
Dr. John Bruchalski is known all throughout his Northern Virginia, and through much of the United States as well, as a great pro-life OB/GYN. His medical practice, Tepeyac Family Center, operates as the largest fully pro-life OB/GYN in the nation, with 5 providers and a PA. There, women of all races, creeds, and economic statuses are welcome, whether they can pay or not. Every year, abortion minded women are welcomed in to meet their doctor, to meet the kind people that offer to deliver their baby, for no profit, just because they care.
As much as his practice will allow, Dr. John travels throughout the country to promote the practice of Christ-centered medicine, encouraging doctors and other medical professionals to follow the Christian principles that reflect the dignity of the human person and the unity of body and soul.
But it was not always so. Dr. B was an abortionist.
Raised in a devout Catholic home, Dr. Bruchalski drifted from his faith in young adulthood. He came to believe that, surely, the Catholic Church's teachings on sexual morality would evolve toward those of the prevailing culture.
He entered from South Alabama College of Medicine in 1983 where those beliefs were strongly reinforced by the prevailing ethos of medical school. With a knack for fixing PMS and a good ability to listen and diagnose, he was drawn to obstetrics and gynecology In time, he thought, all will recognize what he and his medical colleagues knew, abortion, contraception, and sexual liberation were necessary for women to flourish. After receiving his M.D. degree 1987, he returned to Virginia to do his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Eastern Virginia Medical Center and the Jones Institute of Reproductive Medicine in Norfolk. There he practiced the full panoply of reproductive medicine: contraception, sterilization, abortion, artificial reproduction, embryo destruction; and he even developed a reputation for being very adept at late-term abortions.
But his conversion started with reflection, witnessing the effects of abortion all around him. He saw no joy or happiness for the women he aborted. All he saw from more abortion and more contraception were "more broken relationships, more infections, more destruction, more brokenness." But he put aside these concerns, swayed by his professors' insistence that happiness was just around the corner, awaiting better education and more of the same services.
Three "words from the Spirit" combined with his uncertainties to spark his conversion. Early in his residency, a friend convinced him to go with him to visit the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the unborn, in Mexico City. While there he heard the clear voice of Our Lady ask him, "Why are you hurting me?" Still hard of heart, he put the question in the back of his mind, thinking maybe it was only the heat.
The second word came later in his residency. Doing a late-term abortion, he inadvertently delivered a baby over 500 grams, which by law must go to the neonatology unit. When he called the neonatologist, she sharply told him he was treating the baby as if it were a cancer turmor, and that as a doctor he must treat both woman and baby as patients. She then explained that she had just returned from Medjugorje, and suggested that he go there himself. Two days later, to his shock, his mother called up and suggested he accompany her on a trip to – where else – Medjugorje.
There, a Belgian woman told him she had a message from Our Lady for him: to be the best doctor he could be; to follow and promote the teachings of the Church, and to serve the poor daily. As he told Eric Metaxas in an exclusive interview, "the scales fell from my eyes" and it all made sense: the evils of contraception, abortion and artificial reproduction; the truth of natural law and Church teaching; the love of Jesus Christ. The course of his future was forever altered.
A conversion experience sends the converted one on mission.
Dr. John told his hospital he could no longer perform abortions, prescribe contraceptives, or do artificial reproduction. "Just keep it quiet," his supervisor asked him, rolling his eyes, "I hope it wasn't some religious conversion." But he couldn't keep Dr. B quiet. By the end of residency, many of his fellow residents had followed his lead and ceased performing abortions.
After residency he worked in a Maryland practice for two years, then felt deeply called to begin Tepeyac out of his basement in 1994, seeing women with and without insurance! Tepeyac has now been around over 20 years, faithfully serving a whole generation.
In 2000, the skyrocketing price of medical malpractice insurance forced a phone-a-thon fundraiser to keep Tepeyac's doors open. Thus was the beginning of what would become Divine Mercy Care – a non-profit supporting the work of Tepeyac and educating the world about this form of medicine.
Both organizations continue today as a way of building a culture of life, a way of meeting people where they are, and a way of transforming hearts. Dr. B's story reminds us all that hearts can in fact be radically transformed.
Hear the story in Dr. Bruchalski's own way at the video below.
This video was shown when Dr. Bruchalski received the Life Hero Award in Budapest in 2017.

I took this picture of my little "family" this morning... thought it was cute and wanted to share. :)
Also, I'm finding it ironic that I am having anxiety about going to talk with someone about my anxiety. This morning could prove to be a difficult one for me. The rain is very fitting for my mood.
Prayers are appreciated.
Tune in next time for a (hopefully) much more cheerful post. ;) Maybe the cuteness of the picture I posted makes up for my depressing mood. LOL. Maybe.

NHPR: U.S. Rep. Kuster Holds Roundtable On Campus Sexual Assault
Representatives from Dartmouth College,UNH, and advocacy groups joined Democratic Congresswoman Ann McLane Kuster for a roundtable discussion about campus sexual assault today. The event at UNH Law in Concord focused on new legislation introduced in the US Senate.
The Campus Accountability and Safety Act would, among other things, fine schools up to one percent of their operating budgets if they fail to investigate an alleged assault. According to the Centers for Disease Control, one-in-five undergrad women have been sexually assaulted. Representative Kuster says that's also an economic issue, since the trauma can affect women's careers and earning potential.
"And I think that they deserve a voice and an advocate that will change that environment so that they can have healthy college experiences and effective and successful careers," she says.
Some attendees pointed out two major omissions from the bill. It doesn't give schools additional funding for staff to conduct investigations, nor addresses prevention.
Kuster is a House co-sponsor of the bill.
New Hampshire Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte is also a co-sponsor, and helped introduce the legislation in the Senate.

Chapter 162: The abnormalities of the white bone staff
"There are three people five hundred meters behind you. Because they're further away and wearing ordinary gear, I can't figure out their strength." Han Shuo observed for a moment as he stood on the outcrop with narrowed eyes, responding to Candice's question in a low voice after a while.
"Thank you Bryan, I'll remember your help." Candice said lowly and didn't say much else to Han Shuo, turning to return to the Battlefire mercenary band, discussing something with the mercenaries.
"What is she to you that you're willing to help her?" Lisa tugged on Han Shuo's sleeve after Candice had left.
"A friend of mine from awhile back. Let's go. We'll leave in another direction. We still need to return to Valen City in a bit." Han Shuo looked at Candice and saw that she was still discussing things with her employer. He knew that his words had had an effect then.
Candice was a mercenary and had her missions and way of living. Han Shuo gave her a reminder out of the kindness of his heart when he ran into her and saw that her mission held some latent danger. He was being a good friend, but wouldn't interfere in her matters.
When she heard that Han Shuo wanted to leave, Lisa didn't say much as she ducked her head shyly and walked behind Han Shuo, reaching out her hands to entwine around his neck and jumping firmly onto his back. She said merrily next to his ear, "I still want you to give me a piggyback me."
Han Shuo was speechless, and then smiled ruefully. He said to Lisa on his back, "I had no choice just now because there was an emergency. That's why I put you on my back. Now that we're out of danger, you no longer need to be piggy backed. We can slowly walk back."
"Hehe, I'm not getting down no matter what you say." Lisa's small hands entwined themselves around Han Shuo's neck as her fleshy thighs criss crossed themselves around his waist, appearing quite at ease.
Lisa was at an exuberantly youthful age, and because of Han Shuo's random teachings, her originally flat chest was now a bit ridiculously well rounded. Han Shuo could even feel that her chest on his back wasn't much smaller than that of Emily's. That soft, wondrous feeling made Han Shuo's heart itch a bit.
Off in the distance, Candice spoke a bit with her comrades and seemed to be set on continuing to make their way to Valen City, ignoring the three following behind them. Their minds made up, the group began moving out again. Candice flicked a glance over at Han Shuo and happened to see Lisa on Han Shuo's back. She was rather taken aback.
Han Shuo felt Candice's slightly bizarre gaze and turned to lift his head proudly, as if showing off something to Candice. She couldn't help but break into soft laughter.
"Hang on, we're leaving too." Han Shuo didn't force her to come down from his back when he saw that Lisa's mind was set. She'd just lost her parents and was in the most painful moments of her life. He didn't want to make her unhappy at a time like this. He gave instructions in a low voice and walked off on another path, avoiding the direction that Candice's crew was taking to Valen City.
It was already evening at this time. Han Shuo took note of the direction and made a circle around the city walls. He used the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens" to fly over the city walls when night had fallen, landing in Valen City's territory.
They arrived at the hotel that Emily had stayed at last time and Han Shuo made his way directly to Emily's room. Chester called out lowly from within the room before they entered, "Who is it?"
"It's me!" Han Shuo responded and pushed open the door. He looked at the surprised Chester and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Chester hesitated when he saw Lisa on Han Shuo's back, responding, "Madame Emily thought that this might be where you're meeting Lawrence and had me stay here in hopes of receiving word from anyone of you."
"Then, did you receive any messages from Lawrence?" Han Shuo couldn't head directly to the Dark Mantle from here because Emily had arranged for men to be here, and because Lisa was present. This was also where he'd told Lawrence he was staying, so Lawrence was likely to come here after he escaped.
Nodding, Chester answered, "Lawrence hasn't come by yet, but he's sent a messenger. The man told me that if you and Lisa came back, please take Lisa to this place!" Chester handed over a card as he spoke. The address that was not too far from here was written on it.
"What did the man who Lawrence sent look like?" Han Shuo had to take all precautions.
After Chester had described the person, Han Shuo immediately understood that the person who'd come was the old assassin Lucky and therefore there was nothing to worry about in this matter.
Letting Lisa down from his back, Han Shuo looked at her and said seriously, "Lisa, we're about to do something very dangerous. You should go with Chester and immediately go to where your cousin is. Lawrence will take you back to the Empire in a short period of time. Do as I say, alright? We'll stay and get revenge for you."
After experiencing an extreme hardship in life, Lisa was much more mature than Han Shuo had remembered. Although an expression of longing remained in her eyes after he said his words, she nodded her head docilely, agreeing to Han Shuo's arrangements.
"Hire a carriage. Take Miss Lisa to the place on Lawrence's card yourself. Place her safely in Lawrence's hands." Han Shuo said with a smile to Chester.
"Don't worry, I'll handle all of this perfectly." Chester promised Han Shuo with great confidence and then bowed towards Lisa, gesturing for her to walk ahead of him.
Lisa looked deeply at Han Shuo, saying to him with some worry afterwards, "Be careful, don't let anything happen to you."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Make use of the cover of the night to make haste. Go with him." Han Shuo nodded and urged Lisa on with a slight smile.
Lisa turned and followed Chester after these words, and the two quickly moved outside. The Dark Mantle's influence was naturally significant in such a city as large as this. It wouldn't have been a difficult thing to accomplish if Han Shuo had wanted to send Lisa back.
However, he'd only joined the Dark Mantle only a short while ago, so it wasn't a good thing to use the organization's resources for his own personal affairs. In addition, as the third prince, it would be a more than appropriate thing for him to handle this matter and take care of Lisa's affairs after she'd returned back to the Empire.
Han Shuo turned after Lisa had left and walked into the inner chamber, saying with a slight smile, "Come on out."
Emily walked out with a smile from the inner chamber wearing a soft leather coat and rolled her eyes when she walked next to Han Shuo. She reached out a hand and pinched him, saying with some jealousy, "You made off with Lawrence's sister after visiting him and made him send men here to ask for her. You're something alright!"
Grasping her pinching hand and pulling it forward, Han Shuo held Emily in his arms and started roving his hands all over her well rounded chest. He smiled in explanation, "I'm not as bad as you think I am! I only took her with me because Lawrence's location had been compromised."
He explained the entire matter to Emily, who then responded with a furrowed brow, "According to Lawrence's words, he may be here to act against Bob Ascher on the king's silent approval. This may be one of the methods that His Majesty is using to test Lawrence. He'll be using Lawrence's performance in this matter to determine Lawrence's future path."
Han Shuo started slightly after hearing Emily's words. He hadn't thought that much at first, but it all made sense after Emily had explained things. He mused silently for a moment and then said, "If this is the case, then we might actually have the inclination to cooperate with Lawrence."
"That's right, the Dark Mantle is under no restrictions when we conduct missions. I don't mind cooperating with Lawrence if the timing is right, but as for how to actually act, we must have a defined plan." Emily's slender brows were knit tightly as she spoke with some concern.
Emily's worries stemmed from Lawrence's identity as prince. She was afraid that if others misunderstood their relationship before the greater picture had been set. If Lawrence wasn't king in the end and another prince inherited the throne, then Emily, Han Shuo, and those others who had been too close to Lawrence might attract fatal disasters. Thus, Emily was quite cautious.
"I understand your meaning. Don't worry, I know my place when interacting with Lawrence." Han Shuo said quietly. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Right, you left in a hurry to notify your brother about the Calamity Church and told me not to mention this to anyone else. Why is that?"
Emily's charming features became incredibly grave when these words were voiced. She took a deep breath in and responded, "The Calamity Church is an evil church. They worship all sorts of evil gods, and numerous evil experts are gathered within their ranks. I only know of a few rumors about this church and don't know the details, but my brother told me that this Calamity Church is the largest evil cult on the entire continent. They commit acts hated by both man and god in the shadows. It's always a great threat to any country whenever they embark on a large scale mission."
"Ten years or so ago, several empires cooperated to exterminate the Calamity Church and swept away all of their exposed strongholds. There was no news of the Calamity Church for a long while after that, but everyone knows that they hadn't been destroyed at all. They are only in hiding. The fact that you confirmed this fact from the memories of the necromancer from the Calamity Church means that this matter is receiving significant attention."
Starting in shock, Han Shou looked askance at Emily, "Did you report the fact that I took the necromancer's memories?"
"Of course not." Emily pouted and rolled her eyes at Han Shuo, seeming to fault him for not believing her. She only continued to speak after he apologized. "I only said that we killed the necromancer together and gained this information from his space ring."
"I see. It looks like this necromancer was a big fish." Han Shuo smiled and fished out the white bone staff as they chatted, toying with it as they continued talking.
A strange buzzing sound suddenly emitted from the white bone staff, like the drone of an unknown bug. This made Han Shuo's hair stand on end with astonishment.
"Is there anyone here in this hotel?" A familiar voice traveled in from outside at this moment. It was Candice calling out loudly.
The white bone staff still continued to sound out oddly and kept vibrating, seeming to want to fly out of Han Shuo's grasp. This greatly surprised both Han Shuo and Emily.
"Eh? Miss Belinda, what are you doing? You can't leave by yourself." Candice's shouting suddenly became frantic calls. It seemed that her employer had walked out of the Battlefire mercenary band's protection.
Firmly grasping onto the shaking white bone staff, Han Shuo also felt rather perplexed and shook his head quickly. "I don't know what's going on either. This has never happened before whenever I used it."
Frantic footsteps quickly approached their room, accompanied by Candice's frantic yells. Han Shuo's thoughts raced as he seemed to understand something and put the white bone staff back into his space ring. He made a motion towards Emily as he tip toed over to the window.

As you all are aware, Lindsey Springer is serving a 15 year sentence in the Federal Correctional Facility in Big Spring, Texas. In spite of his situation, he continues to defend himself against the corrupt nature of the IRS, Department of Justice, and the Courts.
Below is his latest update on 26 U.S.C. Section 7601 which gives the Secretary of the Treasury broad authority to canvas "Internal Revenue Districts" looking for "therein who may be liable to pay any internal revenue tax."
Complicating this, however, is the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, which abolished internal revenue districts and district directors.
Please read the full update below:
From: Lindsey Springer
Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2012 4:04 PM
To: Lindsey Springer
Subject: 26 U.S.C Section 7601
Lindsey Springer here hoping you are found blessed even in the circumstances you may be in. There are some very interesting things going on and I will convey what I can.
First, I learned Congress is knee deep in finishing changes to the Tax System. As long as the United States ceases using the name "Internal Revenue Service" we will all be better off. Agencies must be established by law and their authority clearly spelled out in law or regulations corresponding to the spelled out law.
The problem facing the Courts currently is the meaning of 26 U.S.C. Section 7601 which the Supreme Court over and over again held this provision of "spelled out law" gives the Secretary of the Treasury broad authority to canvas "Internal Revenue Districts" looking for "therein who may be liable to pay any internal revenue tax." See U.S. v. Bisceglia, 420 U.S. 141, 144(1975)
The IRS's entire claims of any authority to do anything must be premised upon Section "7601…of the Internal Revenue Code." See Bisceglia above at 144. This Section is entitled "Canvas of districts for Taxable persons and objects." Ask yourself this question:
"What does Congress mean using the term "district" in Section 7601?"
Three years after Bisceglia was decided, the Supreme Court, explaining the Congressional power of the Secretary of the Treasury, said the Secretary is required to "canvas revenue districts to inquire after and concerning all persons therein who may be liable to pay any internal revenue tax." U.S. v. LaSalle, 437 U.S. 298, 308 (1978).
In 1980, the Supreme Court placed Section 7601 at the head of the "Secretary's Framework":
"as required in the numerous precedents recited supra, imposes on the Secretary of Treasury, and the IRS as his designate, a broad duty to enforce the tax laws. 26 U.S.C [Section] 7601(a)."
See U.S. v. Euge, 444 U.S. 707, 716(1980) The Court explained the IRS as the Secretary's designate "has only such authority as Congress gives it." Euge at 720 "Unlike [section] 7602, the canvassing provision speaks broadly and in plural instructing Treasury Department Officials 'to proceed…through each internal revenue district…" Bisceglia, 420 U.S. at 154
The Panel in my case held the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 "abolished internal revenue districts and district directors." U.S. v. Springer, 444 F. Appx. 256, 262 (10th Cir. 2011)
There is nothing in the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 that repealed Section 7601. Nothing that repealed Section 7621. Section 7621 requires the President to establish Internal Revenue Districts and he has not since 1998.
What is currently heading for the Supreme Court is whether the abolishing by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue all Internal Revenue Districts pursuant to Section 7601 and 7621, and Office of District Director at Section 7514, repeal Sections 7601, 7621, and 7514[?].
Obviously the only thing sought by the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 is Restructuring the Secretary's IRS who at best was created by a Treasury Regulation at 26 CFR Section 601.101 and with no statutory or other regulatory provision supporting its authorized creation by Congress.
Currently, the IRS Agents are claiming their authority comes from the Internal Revenue Manual.
The Supreme Court in Central Laborers Pension Fund v. Heinz, 541 U.S. 739, 748 (2004) said:
"neither an unreasoned statement in the manual or allegedly longstanding agency practice can trump a formal regulation with the procedural history to take on the force of law."
The Internal Revenue Manual has no force of law and cannot be the origin of the Agent's authority to do anything. As Congress changes the Tax System remember [keep your eyes on] section 7601.
I will provide more follow up in the near future.
God bless you,
Lindsey Springer

Doubtless, there'll be plenty of bar-room banter emerging tonight over Sunderland's emphatic victory in the "secret derby".
After the chuckles have died down on Wearside though, Sunderland's 6-0 win has no lasting repercussions.
March's clash at St James's Park is all that matters for two clubs that are on a beeline towards still being in the thick of the relegation dogfight at that stage of the season.
It ain't 'seven in a row' yet!
But today's behind-close-doors Stadium of Light friendly was imperative for improving the sharpness of those on the fringes of the Sunderland first-team.
Clearly, the mainstays of Sunderland's side have needed a breather this week after they were so alarmingly heavy-legged at times in last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth.
Yet Sam Allardyce needs those waiting in the wings to be ready to take their opportunities.
The likes of Jack Rodwell, Steven Fletcher and Duncan Watmore will inevitably be called upon in the coming months and Sunderland cannot afford for them to be rusty, given the current state of the relegation battle.
The same applies to new signings Jan Kirchhoff and Dame N'Doye, with the latter not playing a competitive game for more than a month.
Clearly, there were a few reservations from Allardyce about throwing N'Doye into the fray from the bench against Bournemouth.
Playing against fellow Premier League players, rather than a friendly against a lower league side, should do the Senegal international the world of good ahead of a crucial month in the survival battle.
That's the big benefit of the "secret derby".
The scoreline just provides Sunderland fans with something to smile about.

KB Labs seeks to find new ways to combine the library's digital cultural heritage collections and research, with the latest methods within machine learning. The lab is an initiative taken by the IT department at the Royal Danish Library.
Here you will find different applications made by the Royal Danish Library to visualize, engage or showcase the different materials or collections that we have available, to inspire and deepen the knowledge of what collections we actually have, and hopefully expand the use of these.
At the moment, applications and builds found here are considered experimental projects, and as such, can change or even be taken down without warning. This includes the data being presented by the applications.
Feel free to contact us, if you have any questions or wish to know more about a given project.
