Angelo on the Latest in Paleo podcast had James Clear as a guest. Apart from diet and fitness James talked about habits, how we start bad ones, how we can break them and replace them with good ones.
I signed up for James' newsletter and read Transform Your Habits.
Time for a little backstory. I've wanted to start developing iOS applications in my spare time. I have the equipment, the books, development knowledge, I sit in front of my Mac for hours and hours during any given week and never achieve anything.
In the morning I check email, RSS feeds, BBC News and Digg to see what has happened to the world while I was asleep. After work I sit on the sofa and read a book, but then I check email, RSS feeds, BBC News and Digg before I start making something to eat. After I've washed the dishes, when I should be writing applications in Xcode, I check email… well you get the idea. Time passes, one thing links to another, an hour later I'm thinking that there's no point trying to start anything now I may as well look at Buzzfeed, watch a little TV then go to bed. So by the end of the week I have nothing to show for it.
It's just a habit. I can break it. Just check email and RSS feeds once a day. The rest of the time do something constructive.
James also wrote that he set himself a task, to write for his blog every Monday and Thursday. That's his habit, sit down and write.
With most things in life it's best to start with small steps.

Seven Weston-super-Mare primary schools hope to join forces to create multi-academy trust
PUBLISHED: 09:02 19 February 2017
A group of seven primary schools in Weston are hoping to join together to form a multi-academy trust.
Locking, Mead Vale, Oldmixon, Bournville, Walliscote, Milton Park and Windwhistle primary schools hope to form a multi-academy trust (MAT) in September this year.
In March last year the Government set out its vision for all schools in England to become academies.
The Government later made a U-turn on the policy but North Somerset Council's education grant will still be cut, meaning all schools in the district must become academies by September next year.
Individual academies are run by MATs – single bodies responsible for overseeing multiple schools and ensuring they are running effectively and efficiently.
The Government believes there are already too many MATs in North Somerset, but these seven primary schools say setting up a new MAT is in the best interest of all the schools involved.
In a shared letter to parents the schools' headteachers said governors believe it is better to form a new MAT rather than join an existing one because it will bring together like-minded schools with the same core aims and values.
The letter adds: "Each school that enters the MAT will keep its own name and will retain much of its independence while benefitting from being part of the trust.
"There will also be opportunities to extend our work together across the MAT, which will benefit children, staff and communities."
A full consultation is now underway and the letter says any decision on whether or not to create a MAT will be based around what is best for pupils, schools, staff and the rest of the community.

They demand that cautious Assemblymember take a more active role in helping stop evictions
A group of San Francisco tenants and advocates delivered an eviction warning to Assemblymember David Chiu today, urging that he help push a repeal of the notorious Costa-Hawkins bill through the Legislature.
Chiu is the chair of the Assembly Housing Committee, the first stop on the path toward bringing the repeal bill to the floor.
The author of the bill is Assemblymember Richard Bloom of Santa Monica. Chiu is listed as a co-author, but tenant advocates say he has not made the measure a priority…
Here are the members of the committee. Five are Democrats; two are Republicans. The current leadership of the Assembly and the Democratic Party have no made tenant issues a priority, and apparently don't want to put pressure on anyone to vote to help renters…
True said Chiu wants to meet with the tenants, and that's fine. But what we have here is a very different philosophy. Chiu has endorsed Sonja Trauss, the build-at-all-costs candidate who no tenant organization would ever support, in District 6. He doesn't look to the Tenants Union and the Housing Rights Committee for direction; he looks to what's good for his relations with the rest of the Assembly Democrats, who are often real-estate shills…(more)

By Antonio Salmeron Ato
Many cycling hopes in Spain lie on Alejandro Valverde these days, who may be the most gifted rider to win the Tour de France since Miguel Indurain. But the Caisse d'Epargne cyclist himself plays it low at the moment, preferring to let the first great races of the season be raced before talking about his further objectives.
The French Grand Tour is always present in the Spaniard's thoughts, but without being an obsession. He has also let himself be seduced by the Spring Classics, where he has already tasted victories in the past. Valverde has been targeting the month of April for a first peak of form. "The Challenge a Mallorca was hard for me," he told Cyclingnews about his restrained preparation and his eagerness to win. "I hope to be polishing my form in the Vuelta a Valencia, and will help my teammate Luis Leon Sanchez to reach the victory. Until now, I used to arrive tired at the great races, but I won't let it happen again."
In order to peak twice, or even three times during the season, Valverde needs to have a perfectly laid-out schedule throughout the year. "My training plan has been adapted according to my objectives," he explained. "There is sufficient time between the block of classics races and the Tour, for example, so there is no problem for me. I have already won two important Classics, but now I would like to add Amstel Gold Race to my palmarès."
As for his objectives at the Tour de France, the 27 year-old humbly prefers to play his chances down. "The Tour does not obsess me," he continued. "I'm very young and I still have to finish it before anything else [Valverde had to abandon twice because of injuries - ed.]. Oscar Pereiro already knows what it represents to win it (sic), so I must learn of him and be more close to him. That doesn't mean that I don't want to assume my responsibilities and the pressure put on me - neither scare me - but that is what corresponds to Pereiro. I'm not either going to deny that, for my future in the Tour, it is important to finish ahead of him.
"I know the Tour route, and I don't mind that the Alps will be before the Pyrenees. It doesn't matter to me. That's where the Tour will be decided, although there also are two long time trial stages."
After the highlight of the season, there's always the Vuelta for Valverde to come home to. But the Spaniard has said that he might not include it in his program this season - more out of superstition than anything else: "It brings me bad luck to say that I will race in the Vuelta if I do not finish the Tour satisfactorily," he added.
As for another one of his dreams, which he has missed out on by a hair several times now, Valverde again points at one of his colleagues to be more suited for the job than himself. "Neither Samuel Sanchez nor myself should be the national team leader if Oscar Freire can finally race again," he said. "We have to help him get the victory."

That number sounds like a lot right? Well, it turns out that I've in fact taken more than 1 million steps since January. Early January I purchased the UP24 which I use daily to track my sleep and steps. I received a notification saying that I walked over 1,000,000 steps and counting which is equivalent to walking from San Francisco to Mexico!
Does owning a fitness tracker really help? In my opinion, yes. Back in Texas I walked a lot and it was mostly due to work. However, now that I'm on this…extended vacation it's really easy just to stay in pajamas and Netflix binge. So when I'm looking my iPad and my UP24 app is practically yelling at me it's a real encouragement. I also have fitness pals who I know sees my updates and when I see their updates and when their numbers are significantly higher than mine that when I get to steppin'! I use my iPad to read the app but if you have an Android or iPhone you can literally track your steps constantly. I found that it drove me a little crazy so I decided to take it off my phone and just periodically check my progress when I'm at home.
Do you know how many steps you have to take in order to have traveled a mile? They say it's about 2,000 steps it just depends on the measurement of your strides. My ultimate goal is to be able to walk 20,000 steps/day. I haven't been able to break that number yet but I think I will get there soon. I just need to put the time into it.
Do you own a fitness tracker? What kind do you have? How often do you use it? If you don't have one, are you considering getting one?

Even though the owner of Luis Vuitton bags, Dior perfumes and Dom Pérginon champagne LVMH (Luis Vuitton Möet Hennessy) group has reported a 14 per cent rise in sales due to a good first quarter on a like-to-like basis in the US and Asia markets, the group has given a warning to its European market area. Slightly surprising give the slowdown of China's economic growth for instance. LVMH is the world's biggest luxory group by sales is headed by Bernard Arnault. According to Arnault, the luxury groups concentration on retailing towards tourists trough airport spots of Sephora and DFS helped them to increase sales with 20 per cent over the last quarter in 2011. LVMH is active in five different sectors; wines&spirits, fashion&leather goods, perfumes&cosmetics, watches&jewellery, and selective retailing.
DFS group (down town gallerias, airports shops and others) is one of the world's leading luxury retailer catering to the travelling public, and owned by the LVMH group. The groups headquarters locate in Hong Kong, whereas global financial and information technology centre being in Singapore. The luxury group offers hence off-and on-airport shopping environments where buyers can find established and rising luxury brand products including Cartier, Channel, Gucci, Luis Vuitton, Tiffany, Michael Kors, Tory Burch and many more. Also, special events such as champagne receptions, fashion shows and watch and leather making demonstrations are held regularly.
Needless to say customer loyalty is a key for making LVMH and DFS types of groups to work. Hence, promises such as 100% WorldWide Guarantee, personal shopping services, currency exchange, multilingual staff and comfortable seating areas have to be given.

Following on from last week, I've updated my Knights list. I know that I can still use the Baal strikeforce and don't have to change to the angels blade formations, but its pretty clear that the old FOC system is going to end up getting scrapped in favour of this system. So it therefore makes sense when I'm just about to start painting the Knights, having finished the Hjaltland LI, to paint them to the new formations rather then have to eventually repaint them from the FOC.
I'm going to go through my old list first and then the new list so that they can be compared, as there are a few changes, both interns of losses and additions.
Captain - 210
Valours Edge, Artificer armour, Storm Shield, Razorback
Priest - 96
Pistol, Angles Wings, Crown Angelic
Tac - 165
10 marines, Hand Flamer, Flamer, Heavy Flamer
Tac - 215
10 marines, Hand Flamer, Flamer, Heavy Flamer, Rhino, Stormbolter
Command Squad - 190
Standard, 3 Storm Shields, 3 Power Weapons
Vanguard - 215
5 Vets w/jump packs, 4x Lighting Claws, Power Axe, Power Sword, Power Maul
Death Company - 265
Jumppack, 3x power mauls, 3x plasma pistol, 2x thunder hammers, 2x boltguns
Lemartes - 130
Assault - 175
10x Marines, melta bomb
Assault - 195
10x Marines, power fist,
Baal Pred - 145
Bolter Sponsons, Extra Armour
With the options for the new formations I decided to go for the Angels Blade Strike Force and the basic Demi-company. For the auxiliary option I decided to go with the DC formation instead of the rapid assault force, mostly as both can perform the same function with jump troops, but the DC are just better with more options
Leaders of the Angelic Host (286pts)
Command Squad (200pts)
Jump Packs, 4x lightning claws, power axe, champion, novitiate - modified vanguard vets, loose one vet to the novitiate, only way to get the unit in to the force.
Sanguinary Priest (86pts)
Bolt Pistol, Chainsword, Jump pack, The Crown Angelic - only one relic allowed so lost the Angels Wings.
Core (940pts)
Battle Demi-company
Assault Squad (170pts)
10x Assault Marines, Jump Packs - same as before, just running solo now.
Captain (120pts)
Bolt Pistol, Power weapon, Storm shield - lost the relic blade and artificer armour, as well as razorback.
Command Squad (175pts)
3x power swords, 3x stormshields, champion, noviate - lost the standard, not an issue.
Devastator Squad (110pts)
4x Heavy bolter - new unit, replaces Baal Pred, not as good but no choice in the matter.
Dreadnought (100pts)
Multi-melta - new unit, don't want it but no choice.
Tactical Squad (85pts)
5x marines, Flamer, Hand Flamer -all three tactical squads are minimum size as I don't have point to max them out, also they lost a transport, stupid dreads.
Tactical Squad (90pts)
5x marines, Heavy flamer, Hand Flamer
Tactical Squad (90pts)
5x marines, Heavy flamer, Hand Flamer
Death Company Strike Force
Death Company Chaplain (150pts)
Crozius Arcanum, The Angel's Wing - replaces Lemartes,
Death Company Dreadnought (125pts) - no choice, don't want it.
Death Company Squad (175pts)
3x Bolt Pistol, 2x Bolter, 3x Chainsword, 5x Death Company Marine , Jump Pack, 2x Thunder Hammer - half the old DC, the heavy hitters
Death Company Squad (115pts)
5x Bolt Pistol, 5x Chainsword, 5x Death Company Marine, Jump Pack - transferred assault marines make up the numbers. Running as basic as possible.
Death Company Squad (205pts)
2x Bolt Pistol, 2x Chainsword, 5x Death Company Marine, Jump Pack, 3x Plasma Pistol, 3x Power Weapon - the other half of the old squad.
As you can see there is quite a change between the two lists. One issue is the lack of transports for the tactical marines. This means that they will either be stationary for most of the game or be foot slogging across the board, both of which are not ideal. Its at this point that I will moan about the inclusion on the dreadnoughts in to both lists, without them i could afford the transports that I need, by my count 2 rhino's and a razorback. I could cut points from the death company force, but they are the hard hitting part of the force and need to be armed effectively. As it is, I'm happy with the new list. It retains its fluff, kinda, but more importantly, it retains all the jump infantry!

Linde offers complete gas supply and delivery solutions for GAIM including supply, storage, pressure boosters and metering systems.
Nitrogen (N2), in various forms, has been used in gas-assist injection molding (GAIM) for years to improve cycle times for manufacturing plastic parts for automotive, appliance, furniture and many other applications. For injection molders and OEMs, Linde gas-assist technology can mean higher productivity and competiveness. For designers of plastic parts and injection molds, gas assist can make more intricate designs feasible, while reducing mold stresses and product weight.
When nitrogen gas is injected into the plastic part creating a hollow channel, the endothermic reaction instantly chills the warmer polymer areas inside, so the part can smoothly eject from the mold in less time. High-pressure inert nitrogen gas can push the melt into the cavity for more complete mold filling as in "short shot" applications, or be used to quickly form the gas channel inside hollow parts such as handles, which we call "inner cooling." Wall thicknesses of tubular-shaped parts are usually thick but homogeneous, and rapid cooling from the inside out can improve cycle times and help eliminate production bottlenecks.
Today GAIM systems can use either nitrogen (N2) or carbon dioxide (CO2). Given recent advances in gas-assist technology from Linde, CO2 is now the recommended solution in most cases. Contact Linde to schedule a process review to see if this is a better solution for your operation.

[text of email sent to some friends on 3 Nov 2016]
Without a doubt, gullibility is a common trait of humanity. It would be safe to add that some people are more gullible than others; being ignorant may be one plausible cause of being gullible but, arguably, a person can still be gullible without being ignorant, as gullibility, as we have just mentioned, is a common trait of being human.
Sometimes, what is apparently a fraud is not assumed as such but treated as something truthful or positive, to be practiced or followed. In centuries past "certificates of indulgencies" were openly sold by the Catholic Church [CC] that supposedly guaranteed remission for sins and entry to Heaven. These were paper certificates produced in bulk that were pre-signed by the Pope, which were sold for cash and "cash-convertibles" such as a piece of land, farm animals and other products etc. Apparently, the trade in certificates of indulgencies was a thriving business, with the CC being the ultimate beneficiary of the money that was raked in from the sales of these certificates.
On evidence, it appears that at least one person was cognizant of the apparent greed [or fraud?] that the CC was engaged in. Martin Luther, a German Catholic monk, was strongly critical of the CC's profiteering scheme vis-à-vis indulgency certificates, and he protested openly by displaying an article written by him, later came to be known as The 95 Theses, on a church's door. The issuing of indulgency certificates by the CC was discontinued following Martin's protests, so those with money and a willingness to buy their way into Heaven had to buy from other people who possessed them. In addition to putting a stop to the CC's trade in indulgency certificates, the 95 Theses eventually led to the Reformation, a fracturing of Christendom that included the birth of Protestantism.
Are people in the 21st century less gullible than people who lived in the 15th or 16th century? The simple answer of course is a resounding No.
What does the doctrine of the Assumption mean? It means that the physical body of so-called Mary, so-called mother of Jesus, was assumed [transported] to Heaven after her death; Mary died and was buried; days later when her tomb was reopened her body was no longer there. The CC then announced that her body was physically assumed to Heaven because of God's love for her and the assumption to Heaven was a pre-emption of the rotting of her body while being buried in the ground on Earth.
The Assumption doctrine is celebrated by the CC on the 15 of Aug each year.
Faith/gullibility/irrationality? You decide.

Baby's First Foods7:05 AM
Oliver is the following things:
Four months old.
Hungry every hour.
Trying to grab food from my hands/ fork/ plate.
Waking up to eat more during the night.
I honestly wanted to wait until 6 months to start him on solids but he is showing a lot of signs of wanting to start asap! Before I jump into anything, I have some research to do.
Conventional knowledge and recommendations tell us to start with a brown rice baby cereal. Easy enough, it's simple to change the consistency, relatively low risk for allergies, and seems easy to digest... but new sources say there's a better way to go.
I'm now reading about how an infant's digestive system is not suited for grains yet. Not for a while. They say fattier foods like egg yolk, coconut oil, butter and animal livers are perfect first foods.
As I'm still in the beginning of my research I don't want to claim to know much at all about this. So, what's your opinion?
3 comments
I've read too much bad on starting babes before 6 months. It's hard on their tummies since their intestines aren't built for it yet, puts them at risk to developing allergies, obesity, and a lot of pedi's believe feeding a baby solids wont help with sleeping through the night, either! Just my opinion. You gotta do what you think is best for Ollie though!ReplyDelete
There soooo much info out there! I was there 4 months ago and waited until a week shy of 6 months. Started with simple fruits & veggies and decided to try brown rice cereal after 2 weeks... well, we ended up in the emergency room. I gave him a store bought cereal and it had traces of milk in it. ER Dr. told me that fruits & veggies was smart and to make my own cereals but to introduce it slowly mixed with breastmilk (or formula) or fruits for easy digestion.ReplyDelete
I guess every baby is different. I started my first baby at 4 & a half months with no problems.
I guess you just need to do what's right for your own little one. Trust your instincts. You know your baby best :)
I also found really great info on- http://blog.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/ Super awesome blog/website that saved me lots of time and searching.
Good luck with your research :)

I started Isaac on veggies when he was six months - but he had crazy reactions so I backed off and continued to breastfeed exclusively until he was almost one. Babes don't need ANYTHING else before a year. Then we returned to veggies and meat...a bit of fruit (I have major concerns with sugar) and grains were the last thing we did. I do find them to be very hard on the system and cause a lot of inflammation.ReplyDelete
Like everyone else said, you need to do what is right for you and your Oliver. I do think if you want him to eat solids sooner than 1 year, that fats and protein are the way to go - they will give him all the good stuff he needs and the fats will help satiate him through the night.

Although Microsoft buried Moonraker blueprints for a smartwatch, the thought of a Nokia smartwatch but attracts breath. Nokia's board of administrators has proposed amendments to the corporate's structure to incorporate language about smartwatches and different smart issues.
The board proposed modifications to Article 2 of Nokia's Articles of Affiliation to raised outline what it means when it states its intent to "analysis, develop, manufacture, market, promote and ship merchandise, and software and providers" in numerous shopper and enterprise markets.
"These merchandise, software and providers relate to, amongst others, network infrastructure for telecommunication operators and different enterprises, the web of issues, human well being and properly-being, multi-media, huge knowledge and analytics, mobile units and shopper wearables and different electronics," states Article 2.
Nokia is probably not essentially referring to smartwatches when itemizing "shopper wearables" among the many listing of merchandise its plans to analysis, develop and market. With "human well being and nicely-being" additionally two of its primary areas of focus, Nokia could also be planning a health band or sensors to be paired with smartbands and watches.
Nevertheless, Nokia's plans for a smartwatch noticed the sunshine of day final summer time. That is when it was found that Microsoft had scrapped deliberate for a Nokia smartwatch with the codename Moonraker.
Moonraker was a Nokia design. However its consumer interface seemed like Nokia had taken a web page out of Microsoft's playbook on Metro tiles, the design scheme that changed the beginning menu within the first version of Home windows 8.
Nokia allegedly provided Moonraker to potential consumers throughout Cellular World Congress 2014 and even had plans to launch the watch alongside the Lumia 930. However when Nokia bought the rights to its handset division, the destiny of Moonraker and the Lumia line have been positioned in Microsoft's arms.
Microsoft both tabled or ditched the Moonraker design, opting to push its health band as its first entry into the marketplace for wearable tech. Microsoft does not look like considering smartwatches simply but both, as the corporate has been fielding preorders for the second era of its Microsoft Band and is seemingly beginning to fulfill these orders now.

Preliminary Report of a Maritime Archaeological Survey at Sandy Point, St. Kitts, British West Indies
Author(s): Cameron Gill; Dennis Knepper; Raymond Hayes; Monique Klarenbeek; Bill Utley; Francois Van Der Hoeven
Year: 2014
From the 17th through the mid-19th centuries, England defended the town of Sandy Point at the northwestern end of St. Kitts from seizure by rival nations. As one of the earliest English settlements in the Caribbean and a major trading center for European goods, enslaved Africans and island produce, Sandy Point was protected by fortifications at Brimstone Hill and Charles Fort. Responding to assaults by the French, British construction at Sandy Point continued between 1672 and 1732, creating 'the Gibraltar of the West Indies'. Despite the Treaties of Utrecht (1713) and Versailles (1783) affirming control of St. Kitts by England, the French attacked Sandy Point until the 19th century. Archaeological surveys of the sea floor, shoreline and coastal trading zones have revealed artifacts and features of the historical anchorage, fortifications and merchant storage sites. Volunteers from the local community, including students, have participated by investigating, recording and appreciating their island heritage.

Concerned about protecting your confidential sources and communications after Edward Snowden's revelations about Big Brother snooping?
Just came across this interesting post on how to do just that from investigative journalist Dan Meredith of Radio Free Asia. Includes tools to conceal your web research, email, calls and files from prying eyes.
Be aware, of course, that using some anonymity tools can actually be a red flag for spies, themselves attracting attention. Do your own research!
Here's a good tipsheet from the Global Investigative Journalism Network on protecting your investigative reporting.
And on a related note, here's a 65-minute video of former MI5 intelligence officer Annie Machon talking about how spy agencies use and manipulate the media, hosted by the UK's Centre for Investigative Journalism.
Welcome to the investigative reporting blog of award-winning journalist Alex Roslin, author of the book Police Wife: The Secret Epidemic of Police Domestic Violence. Roslin was president of the board of the Canadian Centre for Investigative Reporting, and his awards include the Arlene Book Award of the American Society of Journalists and Authors.

The Warden took The Girl to basketball practice this morning, leaving me with instructions: "Don't bother cleaning anything more than the kitchen, because I'll end up having to come back and do it over." Sometimes incompetence is nice! They say ignorance is bliss. I say incompetence is bliss when it comes to cleaning house!
So anyway…there I was, giving the kitchen the once-over when I decided to put on some tunes. I pulled up a playlist of various stuff on my computer (My musical tastes are vast, by the way). I start a-playing, and get back to work. Then a song came on that took me back a year or two: Jimi Hendrix: "Let me Stand Next to Your Fire."
It seems that back in, oh, 1981 or so I attended a gathering (i.e. Big Fucking Party) at someone's house. There were quite a few people, beer, herb, and a few other recreational mind-altering substances. That night I opted for a hallucinogen. A few hours into the trip a bunch of jock fucks from high school stopped by the party, surely realizing that their lives were pretty damned dull. We were in the front yard when they arrived and piled out of their cars. To our amazement, a couple of girls were with them (Wow, maybe they weren't homos after all). One of the girls, who will remain nameless, ran up to me in what I thought was mock glee to see me. She jumped up in my arms and planted a big ol' kiss square on my pie hole. After some time I found myself in one of the jock fucks' cars with that girl. I remember thinking in my psychedelic haze, What the fuck am I doing with these dorks? Then Mr. Happy (aka my wiener) reminded me. Thank you Mr. Happy! We ended up back at the girl's house drinking beer. If you've ever hung around a bunch of drunks when you're under the influence of a hallucinogen, you'll know that it's quite bizarre. Everyone moves and talks in slow motion and generally looks retarded.
What was the point of this post again? Oh yeah. So the jocks and their girl-jocks disappear to various rooms in the house and this girl and I get to dancing a little Mambo on the living room floor – Horizontal, that is. Then "Let me Stand Next to Your Fire" came on.
Wow. In my altered state, that song had a profound significance considering what Mr. Wiener and I were up to at the moment. And so that memory is forever carved into the two brain cells I have left…I never think of it until that damned song comes on.
So I dutifully continued my chores, listening to a few other songs, none of which elicited much from my two brain cells.
Name that Tune (And no Googling!):
(Chorus omitted cuz that'd make it too easy)
The chills that you
Spill up my back
Keep me filled with
Satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come
Your groove I do deeply dig
No walls only the bridge
My supperdish, my succotash wish
(Sing it baby)
("He" changed to "She" so James doesn't think I'm gay)
I've been told she can't be sold
She's not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious
Guest Quote of the Day:
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Dear Parents
Once again it has been a busy fortnight. Shakespeare Reduced, this year's school play, certainly reduced the audience to tears – tears of laughter! The bard himself probably chuckled from some lofty place and there is no doubt he would have delighted in the sheer enjoyment had by the audience and the cast. Ms van Aswegen and the cast and crew gave up many nights to ensure that the play was indeed entertaining and engaging. In spite of performing for a number of nights to a packed audience it was remarkable to see some of the cast members either helping at the Reddam Derby Day or giving their best on the sports field. To view photographs from these events please go to https://www.somersetcollege.org/photo-gallery/
Many of our students are working hard to contribute positively to their CVs and to the College. They are commended on their tenacity and drive.
The Derby Day was a great success and I hope those of you who attended enjoyed seeing your children play excellent sport. All the First Teams fared extremely well. The Netball Team has to be commended on their excellent win and the remarkable improvement in their play. They simply never gave up. The Rugby Firsts playing a mixed Reddam and Reddam Development side gave the spectators a few heart- stopping moments but the collective relief of a well-deserved win came in the dying minutes of the game. The Girls First Hockey XI drew their match against a strong Reddam side, while the Boys First Hockey Team's 14-nil defeat of Reddam was indicative of their outstanding performance throughout the season. Well done to all the teams, their coaches and the students who attended, performed First Aid and PR functions and who generally showed all that is positive and good about the College. We can be very proud of our students.
Our Facilities staff work tirelessly to create a pristine campus and they certainly presented a near-perfect space for us to enjoy and admire on Saturday.
I am very grateful to both the Prep and Senior School PAs for the incredible task they accomplished in feeding the many spectators and players. The catering was superb so thank you to the parents who flipped burgers and boerewors and made sure everything worked well. Also thank you to those parents who supplied the various ingredients to make the day the success that it was. A visitor commented on how fortunate we are to have a committed group of parents who valued sport and who were engaged enough to have their children participate so meaningfully. It is very rewarding to see a community being a cohesive, spirited and happy group – the positive energy that emanated from the day can only be good for the College.
The termly music concert was another successful event and the Eco-Club's fashion show of clothes made from recycled products added an interesting twist to the evening. The innovative young designers showed flair for design and aesthetics. Thank you to the staff and parents who attended – it was a lovely evening.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES of STUDENTS AT WEEKENDS:
This past weekend seemed to be a busy social one for a number of students. The College cannot be responsible for the behaviour of students at parties. Neither is it the College's job to prescribe how parents should parent or how students should spend their weekends.
Similarly, the College cannot be held accountable for the fact that some parents see fit to serve alcohol to under-age children. Rather it is an issue for dissenting parents to raise with the parents who do serve alcohol illegally. It is common knowledge that serving alcohol to children under eighteen is illegal; it can serve to destroy futures. Parents would do well to remind their own children that many reputations are damaged at weekends. The details that came across my desk this week were disturbing and disappointing. That children see fit to place inappropriate images of themselves and others on social media can have very dire consequences. The contents of this newsletter should indicate quite clearly that the good majority of students engage meaningfully with life and have a good sense of how to build a positive future.
Mr Heine Matthee, the new Business Manager, will be joining Somerset College on 18 May 2015. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the College and holds a B.Com (Management Accounting) degree as well as a B.Compt (Hons) degree, and is an Associate General Accountant of the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants – AGA (SA). He is also an Associate Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA) of the Chartered Institute of Management Accounting (CIMA – UK). Heine is a passionate participant in various sports. He has 4 Comrades, 9 Two Oceans marathons, 24 Argus Cycle tours, 2 Cape Epics, 1 Ironman and a few other races under his belt. He is married to Annaleen and they have a blended family of 5 children. I am sure you will join me in welcoming the rather formidable Heine Matthee to our community. He has a huge task ahead of him but I have no doubt it will be a walk in the park in comparison to his various achievements.
The Head of Rowing, Mr Ben Whitfield is leaving Somerset College next term. Under his leadership the Rowing Club has seen some remarkable achievements – not least two South African Gold medalists. We wish Mr Whitfield much success in his new adventures.
We are moving towards examinations and students should be using some of their spare time to complete past papers and prepare themselves well so that they can enjoy the examination period.
Thank you to those parents who have attended the many events and who continue to support the College in so many ways.
Yours sincerely
Meg Fargher

This outfit has been my summer uniform for almost the entire month of August. I am just beyond in love with the European village printed on the maxi skirt, and use any chance I have to wear it. Since today is September 1st, I'd just like to say that the old rule about wearing white after Labor Day has long been out-dated. I plan to wear this skirt well into the fall and beyond. I know with tights it will be a great staple piece in the coming months. I really wanted it to be the focus of the look, so I stuck with simple pieces and some complementing accessories. This has got to be one of my favorite pieces in my closet! What are your all-time favorite wardrobe staples?
I am really in love with these photos. My wonderful friend and photographer Anabella meet me the minute the Highline opened last week in order to capture some beautiful sunlight before crowds started to come. The Highline is one of my favorite places in Manhattan, and if you can get up early enough, it is truly a hundred times better when there aren't hoards of people on it. Anabella is truly one of the most passionate photographers I have ever met. She's extremely analytical, and takes a lot of thought and time into how she captures poses, lighting and scenery. I think this series of photos is one of my favorites on the blog, because Anabella just had such a way of making me feel comfortable and capturing my face from the right angles. I have had the pleasure of working with a lot of wonderful photographers since I have started blogging, but I have got to say that Anabella truly has a special touch! See more of her work here on the blog in the coming weeks, (and check us on Instagram at NYFW!) and make sure to "like" her on Facebook here!

Book Review – Ohio Brides by Cara C. Putman
Ohio Brides is another book in the Romancing America series. This book by Cara C Putman contains three Christian romance stories. In this case the stories surround three siblings and is set in the 1940s. In each case, one of the Miller children find themselves presented with a crisis that causes them to look deeper at their relationship with God.
One thing I really enjoy about this book is the openly Christian themes and explanations about faith. I found the first story a bit slow and not as interesting as the other two. I had difficulty relating to the characters in the first story. By contrast, I really enjoyed the second story and felt the plot and the characters were well handled. The final story did complete the saga through the family and was enjoyable as well. Overall this was a good book to read through as we see people turn to God in the midst of questions and crisis in their lives.

Timberlake Outreach Center
I remember thinking in January of 2009 it could be a very difficult year. Our economy was hurting, many businesses were closing, the unemployment rate was climbing and our cliental was rapidly increasing. People from all over Omaha, the surrounding Metro community and small towns were coming to the Open Door Mission Timberlake Outreach Center to receive resource case management, food, diapers, clothing, furniture and appliances etc. I wondered if we would be able to continue to meet our clients growing needs?
Well, I am happy to say we did it! You did it! GOD did it!!! And we made it through another year. Through God's love and life changing power, your donations, and volunteer time, we were able to provide our clients with help for their present situations and hope for their future.
Thank you for partnering with us to help change lives for eternity; we couldn't do it without you.
Joyfully serving Jesus,

Friends of the Friendless
Friends of the Friendless was first organized as the Ladies Auxiliary in 1956. Its purpose was to pray for the new work that was being done among the homeless in Omaha. The women involved also offered their services to help financially and practically.
Times have changed and the work of Open Door Mission has expanded in many ways. The Ladies Auxiliary changed its name to Friends of the Friendless in 2007 – we're not just for ladies anymore!
Our purpose has not changed though. We spend the first hour of our meeting eating lunch and listening to testimonies from graduates of the New Life Recovery program. That is the most exciting part for me. It is awesome to hear how God has used Open Door Mission to bring people from a life of despair to one of hope and joy. We also hear from a current program member and learn what circumstances God used in their life to bring them to this place of refuge and healing.
We spend some time hearing about the needs of the mission and praying that God will supply for all of our needs. After a short business meeting, we spend a couple of hours (or whatever time each of us has available) on service projects: sorting clothes, making sandwiches, bagging laundry soap, or working together to make fleece blankets. Projects vary according to the need; but there's always a variety.
A Mission with a big vision needs the support and prayers of many volunteers – we are so thankful for our Friends of the Friendless. We are always looking for more friends. If you're interested in checking us out, our next meeting is scheduled for January 5, 2010 at 11:30. Call Cris at 422-1111 ext 1504 if you'd like to join us or need more information.

Having Faith
I'm involved in the Project Santa program and last Friday we were hoping to finish stuffing the 4,500 toy bags Open Door Mission is giving out on Tuesday, December 22. We only had 25 more bags to stuff for the newborn to 12 month boys. We put blankets in all the bags, however, we only had enough blankets for 14 bags. We began discussing what we were going to do, as we really needed to complete this age group. We forgot for a moment, that God was in control. A few minutes into our dilemma a donation was dropped off - someone had brought in 12 crocheted blankets. This was one more than we needed to finish the 25 bags.
A great example of how God always knows what we need and when we need it!

The Heartland's generosity is overwhelming—462 individuals were sponsored during this all day event. You are providing hope and encouragement for the men, women and families with children who are struggling during this Christmas season.
Thanks again and praises to our Lord and Savior for helping Open Door Mission serve the community. Without you, we couldn't provide Hope for the Hungry Hope for the Holidays.

Employed again after 9 years!
Ted started the Journey to Work Program ten months ago. After completing the required course work and the WorkNet Program with intensive case management, he was ready to do his independent job search and get back to work. Praise the Lord!
Ted is now employed and is praising the Lord that he was given a second chance and that Open Door Mission was able to assist him when he needed help the most. Ted is now saving money so that he can move into his own apartment after the New Year.

Thank You
However, we still need more toys to provide presents for over 4,500 children that would not otherwise get Christmas presents. It has been hard on everyone economically this past year, but there are still those that can and choose to give in order to make a difference in the lives of others. We need people with generous and compassionate hearts to bring new toys to Open Door Mission. Your gifts will bless many children and their families by giving them hope.
We still need new unwrapped toys - primarily the following items:
- Teen Board Games
- Puzzles – all ages
- Baby dolls
- Barbies
- Play sets – children 1-2

December Blessings
This week, ConAgra came to Open Door Mission to "Shine the light on Hunger". In just a 3 hour period, we served over 2,000 meals. We left the Timberlake Outreach Center open that evening, so the community could utilize their trip to east Omaha. Open Door Mission, with the help of Payless Shoe Source, was able to provide 200 children with new shoes. Many of the men, women, and children were also able to receive a new winter coat.
I normally work during the day and usually only go to the main mission building to give a tour or for a special event. The dinner was held on Thursday—one day after the storm. During my visit, one of the employees from Men's Emergency Service told me that we slept about 300 men in emergency services on Wednesday night. I have been keeping stats a long time at the mission and I believe this is one of the largest crowds we have had. We were glad to provide even the smallest space on the floor for these men.
With the number of men, women, and children we are serving, Open Door Mission is in desperate need of blankets, linens, and pillows. Many of the men that night did not have anything thing to sleep on except for a coat, or the clothes they had with them. If you have any of these gently used or new items, please consider donating them to Open Door Mission.
We continue to be very grateful for the generosity of those in the Heartland. We could not serve those in need without your assistance.

Turkey Day & Beyond
Speaking of Jesus, celebrating his birth is just around the corner. After Turkey Day, many of us will head to the malls to get those gifts for family and friends, as we recall the gifts the Magi shared with the Christ child. At Open Door Mission Christmas gifts - especially toys for boys & girls - are all around. It almost looks like Santa's workshop as preparations for Project Santa are in full gear. This year over 6,000 toys will be given out by Open Door Mission to children in need. Thanks for your donations of toys, volunteering to prepare their distribution, and your prayers for those who receive them.
But first things first - time to join in prayer with family before we fill up the plates with our Thanksgiving feast. Enjoy!

I Am Thankful
I am blessed to be working with a truly amazing organization - Open Door Mission. It is not just a place to work, but a family - a family of believers that are here to support, uplift and pray for me. The simple comfort that the Lord covers me with is shown daily, through my co-laborers. Their warmth is sustaining me. I love each and every one of them! Phil. 1:3
I am blessed with assurance that my son is with our Lord, Jesus Christ. My son was a simple young man with a simple faith. This was exactly what God has asked of us - to come to him with the faith of a child - never was it more apparent to me how urgent it is that we share the word of God to the world. "God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son. That whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. God sent his son into the world not to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved." I am thankful that I live in a nation where I can worship the Lord, Jesus Christ. I am blessed that I work with a family that shares the love of Christ, and thankful for the Lord himself. He came to save us all, not just a few or some, but ALL OF US! We need only believe in Him! John 3:16-17.
I am overcome with an awesome peace that can only come from my Lord.
I pray that you all have a blessed Thanksgiving, in the knowledge that Jesus is Lord of your life.

A mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through
Somebody said don't you even care?
Do you let 'em do that everywhere?
She slowly turned around, looked up and stared
She said Please forgive them
But they've been up all night
Their father struggled but he finally lost his fight
He went to heaven
In the middle of the night
So please forgive my children
(They don't understand)
Everybody's busy with their own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true
(They don't understand)
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
Many people come through Open Door Mission's doors because of losing a job, a loved one, fire destroyed their house, suffering domestic abuse and so many other reasons. We might not ever know why they are here, but we, as staff, are blessed to be able offer a warm meal and a place that is safe for them to lay their head. In 1 John 3:17-18 it says "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." We don't know what the people we serve are going through, but we can show them the love of Jesus and to me, that is the best gift of all.
Perhaps you feel a tug to get involved at Open Door Mission. Visit our volunteer page today and learn about volunteer opportunities. I look forward to seeing you around here soon!

Another Great Saturday
Saturday was a fabulous day! Open Door Mission was blessed with over 800 volunteers that helped deliver Turkey 'n Fixin' boxes to those in need throughout the Omaha & Council Bluffs communities. These volunteers braved the cold, foggy morning and did it with smiles on their faces!
We also had wonderful volunteers help sort through our Christmas gifts that will be given out through our Project Santa program in December. This is always a fantastic time of year remembering how thankful we at Open Door Mission are for each of you. As we look forward to what this season holds, would you join us? We are thankful for your prayers, gently used household donations, volunteer hours, and monetary gifts. I look forward to seeing your smiling faces at Open Door Mission as we partner together!Patti Cummings

Receiving Area
Last Saturday, numerous volunteers and staff worked hard to prepare our building for this transition. Monday, we officially opened the new receiving area for business. This significant change will greatly enhance the receiving and distribution of your donations into the hands of our clients in a more efficient and timely matter.
Your generous donations of furniture, clothing, appliances, household items, etc. permit us to help our clients receive needed items they can not afford to purchase. Thank you for partnering with Open Door Mission to help fight the battle of homelessness; in doing so, you are giving to families less fortunate and helping them have a better life.
So, the next time you bring your Gift-in-Kind donations to Open Door Mission remember to bring them to the Timberlake Outreach Center receiving area. You can't miss it--just follow the signs. And while you're here, please stop for a visit. I would love to give you a tour of our Timberlake Outreach Center and tell you about the various programs and ministries Open Door Mission offers to help prevent homelessness. May God bless you, as you generously bless others.
Joyfully Serving Jesus,

It's A Marathon!
As I heard the graduates tell where they have been (unemployed, incarcerated, suffering an addiction, and/or victims of domestic abuse) and where they are now (sober, disciples of Christ, employed and filled with hope) I viewed their months in their Open Door Mission program as a marathon for each of them.
I am a marathon runner and I know that in the midst of the run there are points of joy as one passes mile markers and hears the crowds cheering you on. In addition, there are many instances of pain, suffering, and wondering if you can finish. Our graduates have passed through many joyful thresholds of accomplishment in their programs and they have been cheered on by staff, fellow students, and family members. Yet, each graduate has also experienced much pain and suffering along the way as they have withdrawn from addictions and changed thought patterns and actions that have been destructive in the past. They have crossed the finish line because in Christ all things are possible and they are now ready for a new life that breaks the cycle of homelessness and poverty.
Praise God that each graduate is now ready to run the race ahead of them in life and become a blessing to others as they draw on blessings from God each day!

As I write this, I must admit that I am so proud of our men. Lately, they have been put through a barrage of changes and have chosen to focus on them in a positive life-changing way. The Word of God teaches us that we are all made in His image and therefore people carry so much more potential than we realize. It is definitely a privilege to see our men prove that daily.
That's why our Lord died on a cross 2,000 years ago, isn't it? This certainly was a horrendously evil event, definitely an incredible loss. Yet, God brought out of that very act the most blessed event in mankind's history - He redeemed us and made us righteous. The most evil act was made the most righteous act; the biggest loss in history was made into the greatest gain of all time. I can't think of a more important message for our men to understand.
It was my privilege just 2 days ago to be setting with one of our men explaining this to him when he told me that he was already saved but needed to act upon it and start building his life on this foundation. So he decided to rededicate his life to Christ on the spot. I don't have to tell you what an honor that was for me. Further, that is something we get to experience all the time here. Our men have the same potential that we do, just different experiences. When those experiences lead to life-altering beliefs, the only cure is Biblical beliefs. Recovery is essentially replacing faulty belief systems (in several areas) with appropriate belief systems. Isn't it great to have that from an objective source? Thank God for his revealed Word or all I would be able to offer is my own faulty beliefs. Beliefs have tremendous transforming power. No wonder the Word of God has so much to say about belief from cover to cover.
The weather is changing, the economy is changing, and the world is changing around us, but I just praise Him for the anchor He has provided and hope to teach others to do so too.

The New Life Recovery Program and Journey to Work Program are measured in months, not millions of years, but each day, week, and month in a program provides a new layer of life skills, educational ability, and spiritual development for each individual enrolled. The solid foundation upon which all layers form is faith in Jesus Christ, our solid rock. Then layers of emotional coping skills, Biblical knowledge, maintenance of sobriety, educational and computer skills, job readiness insights equip each graduate for new life!
The Grand Canyon is a wonder of the world and each graduate from an Open Door Mission program is a grand wonder as well. If you would like to explore a Planned Gift to support the work of Open Door Mission please contact me.

Night Watch in the Lydia House
Last month, Charity asked if I would fill in for our Overnight Supervisor during her surgery and recovery. I had never worked the midnight to 8 a.m. shift before and wondered how the change would affect me physically. The Lord has blessed me to be able to handle the change of sleeping during the day.
As Overnight Supervisor, I do periodic room checks throughout the Emergency A & B wings, file, sort mail, clean, assist in handing out medications and much more. During this time, I am reminded of Psalm 63:6, "When I remember you on my bed; I meditate on you in the night watches." and Psalm 119:148, "My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I might meditate on Your Word." (KJV)
Ladies will come to me and ask me to pray with them, or talk, because they couldn't sleep. Moms will even bring their sick children to my office for medication and to keep them from disturbing other family members. I love being able to minister to families and ladies in this way and thank God for giving me the opportunity to serve during the 'Night Watch' at Open Door Mission.

Southwest Church of Christ
Pastor Jim, from Southwest Church of Christ, and his friend Dave stopped by Open Door Mission this week to bring a "small" gift to help out during the holidays. It was no "small" gift--it was over 1,000 pounds of donations ranging from canned goods to clothing. His congregation out of compassion for others, chose to make a difference by donating to the homeless and near homeless in the Heartland.
The holidays are fast approaching and for many in our area it will not be a joyous time of celebration--they are hungry, hurting and in many cases feeling hopeless. Would you please help Open Door Mission reach out with hope and help for those seeking just the basic necessities of life?
- Open Door Mission and Lydia House will provide more than 91,000 hot, nutritious meals this holiday season to the hungry and homeless in the Heartland. Set up your Hope for the Hungry food drive.
- Reach out to more than 6,000 boys and girls and bring the joy of Christmas to their hurting hearts with your donation of new toys to Open Door Mission. Schedule your Project Santa toy drive.
- Provide gifts for hurting adults who are lonely and need to know someone cares. Request your set of Christmas Bells.
- Please, volunteer today, to give your time to make 'Drumsticks on Wheels' and 'Project Santa (A Drive-Thru Christmas)' the best events ever.

Learning Center
It is very rewarding to help individuals learn new skills or improve their knowledge in the Learning Center. Due to alcohol and drug abuse, what was once learned seems to be gone for the individual. That's where Learning Skill Improvement helps to regain lost memory. Improved memory brings self-confidence.
However, many men don't see the purpose of learning how to type or how to use a computer. I think of the man where construction has been his trade. His fingers are large and don't seem to work on the keys, but in time he has stretched his fingers to type.
It is all about helping people reach goals they didn't know they needed. It is surrounding them with words of congratulations, you did it and you can do it. The Learning Center provides a launching pad for the future.

Volunteer Blessings
What a busy week it has been at Open Door Mission! As you probably know, busy means blessing here at Open Door Mission, and the blessings certainly poured into the Volunteer Department this week. We had some amazing guys stop by from a group called "Heart Hats". These men are tradesmen from all over the country, working in the Omaha area. In their spare time, they share their talents and skills with nonprofit organizations. These new friends built a storage unit in our kitchen, replaced a wall in the dining room, and built some terrific new storage bins in the Timberlake Outreach Center.
The busyness (blessings) continued into the weekend. We had several groups of young people dig in and put together some new clothes racks in the TOC so we can get more of your gently used clothing donations hung up and available for our clients. That cleared the way for bringing in more of those donations, which they did, smiling the whole time.In the afternoon the warehouse was blitzed (sorry I couldn't resist) by some members of the Millard West football team who joined another kind of team in reorganizing our warehouse pantry in preparation for putting together thousands of Turkey 'N' Fixin's boxes next month.
I would love to tell you that it was an extraordinary week, but I think all of our volunteers are extraordinary. It continues to be my honor and pleasure to serve Open Door Mission. On behalf of the Volunteer Department I want to say thank you, and bless you!

Greetings from the Lydia House
Recently, God showed me that our efforts have a long term effect on people. I was encouraged by two of our alumni. One has started their own ministry, putting God's Word in everyone's hand by using recycled prescription bottles. The other has shared the amazing faith they developed since their graduation from the program.
Our goal at Lydia House is to change lives, one at a time, and I have had the privilege to see the signs of this happening in at least two lives. This gives me the encouragement to keep going that my small efforts do help to change lives.

Men's Ministries
A man (I will call Frank), whom I have worked with for three months, recently got a job. Frank's journey was not unique. He has no family he is close to and has been on his own all his adult life. His parents divorced when he was a child and his mother died when he was eighteen. Frank has a distant relationship with his father, and no siblings. In his adult life, he has worked a series of jobs, but has also had many "lay-overs" at shelters throughout the Midwest.
Frank is a loner, does not drink or use drugs. Most of his jobs have been dead-ends. Spiritually, he knew God was out there, but never considered any personal relationship with Him. While most of my interactions with Frank have been spur-of-the-moment, because he was anxious or worried, I listened, offered reassurance, and offered advice on what he could do.
His first month at the Mission, Frank arranged his evening so that he did not attend chapel. As he described it later, it was not that he had anything against hearing about God, it was just that God never seemed to have any direct relevance in his life. So Frank was content to let God go His way, and Frank would go his.
What is so wonderful at Open Door Mission, is that we have volunteers that take time out of their busy schedules and provide help—in the kitchen, at the Timberlake Outreach Center, chapels, and other areas. We have a man who comes almost every week and leads a small group in Bible study or shows a video, which provides a more personal setting where men can hear God's word and interact with it.
Frank was encouraged by his case manager, Mike, to take advantage of the services offered at the Mission. One evening, Frank attended the Bible Study. He said later that he didn't know quite what to think about it. The man leading it was nice; however, Frank had never thought much about God. But Frank continued to attend. One week, the leader shared the plan of salvation, and Frank began to consider God in a new way.
Later Frank shared with me that he has benefited from his time at Open Door Mission. He found a job, is saving money, and has hope. He knows that God loves him personally and whatever the future holds—God will be there for him.
It is such a blessing working at Open Door Mission. Even though we see the shadier side of life, and come face to face with hopelessness, I don't become overwhelmed by the neediness and chaos that comes through our doors. Experiences with people like Frank, remind me of Open Door Mission's purpose and its provision of hope and new life in Christ. Taking the time to treat a fellow human being with simple things like food, clothing and shelter, in the name of Jesus, can make all the difference in the world.
Thank you for praying, giving and serving at Open Door Mission.

Crown Pointe Spaghetti Dinner

Our volunteers are ever-faithful. Despite the snow, we had amazing volunteers who were willing to do the job. I was at the Timberlake Outreach Center and had the opportunity to work alongside volunteers as we sorted through clothing, household and kitchen items that have been donated. We had quite a lot of baby and children's clothing that were donated and we were able to fill up the racks for the babies and kids in our community!
Thank you to our volunteers for their hard work! Thank you to our donors who make this job possible! We couldn't serve those in need without you!

God's Faithfulness
Now, my fault is that I tend to get focused and just pour into the lives right around me. However, I hear that unity is not only going on where I work but all through the Mission. As we continue to grow our goal should be to continue to really pour into other staff members lives. I think unity is where true strength comes from and requires vulnerability and trust with one another. That unity will keep the devil from coming in and destroying the amazing things that God desperately wants to do in each of our clients lives and don't forget…in OUR lives.
I'll share one of the many stories I have experienced over the last few months. I was working a Saturday morning which tends to be pretty laid back because the clients have no classes. I walked to the emergency wing and there was a lady who had just come to Open Door Mission the night before. This lady was standing in the hallway tearing up and seemed very guarded therefore didn't want to talk. I debated what to do as I was walking towards the office. Finally I turned to her and said, "Is there anything I can do?" She said, "no" as she started to cry again. I wasn't going to leave her alone so I waited a minute with her. I asked her again, "Is there anything I can do?" She didn't say anything as she started crying a little harder. I sat down on the bench in front of the office and so did she.
I was so excited because I knew she was starting to open up because she sat down next to me. I waited a minute as she was crying and finally asked, "What are you dealing with?" Finally she opened up and told me how she couldn't find a job even though she had a master's degree. Her son was in the military and normally calls every day but hadn't called in two weeks. The last time she had talked with him his tank was destroyed while he was in it and they were afraid of more retaliation from the enemy.
I have a brother who was a Calvary scout for 4 years and know how hard it is to have family at war so I tried to encourage her. I asked her if she believed in God and had faith that He would protect her and take all her cares. She said she used to believe but because of everything that had been going on she was finding it hard to have faith in God at all. I told her how He can take all that pain and fear of the unknown from us if we trust him. I asked if we could pray. She agreed and I asked God to give her a peace and if her son was still alive that he would contact her.
I gave her some tissues and we both went on our way. I went to the recovery side of the Mission and came back fifteen minutes later. The Lady came to me with this glow and said, "I have to tell you something! I don't know how this happened but I just want you to know that my son called me five minutes after we prayed and he is ok." I rejoiced with her and thanked God for letting her experience His faithfulness!

29/11 Program
Yesterday was such a day. One of our clients received a refrigerator and the family was overjoyed. This family of six had been living without a refrigerator for the past three weeks. A single mom with six children received a washer & dryer. Her washer broke a month ago and she had been washing her family's clothes in the bath tub. Needless to say we made her day. Then, a client from the past walked into my office. Yvette is a part of our 29/11 Program and she had been sent over to receive a food pantry and some other items by her case worker, Jeanette Blackstone.
When she walked in my office she said, "I don't know if you remember me or not, but I want to thank you for praying with me and telling me about the 29/11 Program. That day was a turning point for me and the 29/11 Program is really helping me." I was happy to see her and hear how things were better since she joined the program. I asked her if she would share some of her story with you and here's what she wrote:
"I walked in only for a food pantry, but was blessed to find out about the 29/11 Program. I would like to first start off by thanking God for putting caring people in my life. The 29/11 Program is truly a blessing. I am a single mother of three beautiful children whom I love dearly. In the past year and a half I have been struggling to take care of my children due to overwhelming expenses, such as moving, rental increase, car repairs, buying food and high utilities bills. But in the midst of all that stress God has never failed me. I learned about the 29/11 Program and I decided to join and since then our family is doing better and I am thankful to Open Door Mission and the 29/11 Program."
Because of your various donations, families are able to improve their quality of life and lives are being changed one person at a time. Thank you for partnering with us to help prevent homelessness and meet the needs of our working poor. May God bless you for your kindness and generous spirit.
Joyfully serving Jesus,

I couldn't help but think of our busy lives and how we don't take time to pray and thank God for our many blessings. We need to remind ourselves we can pray for others even while sitting at a stop light, or when we see someone in need of prayer instead of sitting in judgment of them.
Prayer for today: Lord of creation, help us to pause daily and be refreshed by the blessings of today and ready to pray for people around us.

Changing Seasons
The next few weeks will offer a glimpse into the marvelous artistic skills of our Wonderful Creator, but the season doesn't wait around very long. If you don't get out there and pay attention, you will miss it altogether and have to wait an entire year for another opportunity.
The English word, "opportunity" has a very interesting origin. The word comes from the Latin, "opportuna", which was used to describe specific water levels and tides when it was best for a ship to leave port and head out to open water. For the ship captains, there was a brief "window of opportunity" for which they had to be prepared or else wait until the next day.
The wise sailor did not wait to prepare until "opportuna" arrived. He knew that he had to be ready to go before the moment of departure, or miss it altogether.
I find that I sometimes resist change because, for whatever reason, I was not prepared. I have a hard time viewing unanticipated change as an unexpected opportunity. I only embrace change when I have a say in it and am convinced that it is for the better. Like everyone I know, I like being in control even if the sense of control is not based in reality.
The truth, of course, is that only God is ultimately in control, and He doesn't find it necessary to confer with me before He implements it. Could it be that He already knows what needs to change even without my input or well-reasoned recommendations?
My wall hanging asks, "Why fear it or fight it when you can simply embrace it?" The oft-recited Serenity prayer is both wise and eloquent: "Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." While I might resist change, I also detest the boredom that comes from the same old thing over and over.
My mother always told me that, of her four kids, I was her 'difficult child'. Some things never change…. If you stop by my office at Open Door Mission, I will be happy to show you my fall pictures. Better yet, I urge you to take advantage of the wonderful fall scenery that is about to unfold around us!

"Blessings from Above"
We in the Volunteer Department connect "Blessings from Above" with all of you! The many volunteers and donors that connect with us on a daily basis are Open Door Mission's "Blessings from Above"!
Today, we were blessed with a group of 10 adults joining us through Urban Plunge. These wonderful volunteers made up over 200 toiletry kits that will be distributed on Fridays during our Streets of Omaha Project. These kits include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap, body lotion and a Gospel tract. God is good!
We also had a group of 60 8th graders, along with their leaders, volunteering through their confirmation class at St. John Vianney Church. These kids were a big help serving in the kitchen, organizing our warehouse and helping accomplish many projects that were on our "honey-do" list at the Timberlake Outreach Center…4 hours times 60+ people = priceless!
Thank you for being Open Door Mission's "Blessings from Above"!!! I look forward to seeing you all in the near future!

Amy's Favorite Scripture
Today I want to share my favorite bible verse.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
This is one of my favorite verses for a couple of reasons; my grandparents wrote this verse in a bible they gave me and second, because it tells us of the love God has for us and that he sacrificed His only Son on our behalf. It gives me great joy that I can cling to this verse and know that I will have eternal life in heaven through the love of God and death of Jesus Christ.

Eagle's Nest Treats Lydia House to Spa Care
Even though the women were happy with the gifts and massages, it was unanimous that they received more than that: they were able to converse and hear testimonies about women that have been through abuse, hurts, and addictions and yet God has set them free. Those testimonies came from ladies that have graduated our New Life Program some years back. The Open Door Mission does change lives and it is awesome to see it first hand.
As I was listening to the testimonies, I came to realize that if we are not careful we'll let our work here at the Open Door Mission become a routine. However, we need to remind ourselves that we are on a mission to change and transform lives for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; no matter how mundane our jobs are, no matter how hard it is. Who would have thought that a manicure could change someone's life? It can! At the end of the evening a beautiful thing happened: one of the ladies gave her life to the Lord! One could just feel the love in the room! Glory be to God for sending us volunteers that want to make a difference in other people's lives!

Mission Bean Coffee
If you like coffee and want to help Open Door Mission please go to your local HyVee store in the Omaha metro area and buy a bag of Mission Bean. It is great cup of coffee to get you going in the morning and you will feel great all day long knowing you are helping the hungry, homeless, near homeless and hurting in the Omaha metro area. So make the coffee you drink something special-make it Mission Bean-a coffee that can help others in so many ways.
