We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of INNutriGEL AG The use of the Inter-net pages of INNutriGEL AG is possible without any indication of personal data.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or tele-phone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the Federal Act on Data Pro-tection and all processing of personal data that falls within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall be in line with the GDPR. By means of this data pro-tection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, INNutriGEL AG has implemented numerous technical and organiza-tional measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data.
The data protection declaration of INNutriGEL AG is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal da-ta or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collec-tion, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limit-ing their processing in the future.
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural per-son, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's per-formance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, relia-bility, behavior, location or movements.
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the per-sonal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relat-ing to him or her.
The website of the INNutriGEL AG collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called re-ferrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the ac-cessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the INNutriGEL AG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) de-liver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information tech-nology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the INNutriGEL AG analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we pro-cess. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all per-sonal data provided by a data subject.
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject on-ly for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the Eu-ropean legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are rou-tinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22 (1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful in-formation about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Un-ion or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information so-ciety services referred to in Article 8 (1) of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the INNutriGEL AG, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of INNutriGEL AG shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Arti-cle 17 (1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employ-ees of the INNutriGEL AG will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the per-sonal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the pro-cessing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the INNutriGEL AG, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the INNutriGEL AG will arrange the restriction of the processing.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the control-ler to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6 (1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Ar-ticle 9 (2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6 (1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the pro-cessing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public inter-est or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time con-tact any employee of the INNutriGEL AG.
The INNutriGEL AG shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the ob-jection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the es-tablishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the INNutriGEL AG processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the da-ta subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the INNutriGEL AG to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the INNutriGEL AG will no long-er process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the IN-NutriGEL AG for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of the INNutriGEL AG In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of in-formation society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data sub-ject's explicit consent, the INNutriGEL AG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual de-cision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the INNutriGEL AG.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to with-draw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the INNutriGEL AG.
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visi-tors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visit-ed, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when access-ing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our web-site. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our web-sites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the in-formation technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical proce-dure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the loca-tion from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is par-ty, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are neces-sary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obli-gations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the pro-cessing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pur-sued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which re-quire protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly per-missible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR our legit-imate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our em-ployees and the shareholders.
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respec-tive statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the con-tract or the initiation of a contract.
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regu-lations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the con-tractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the da-ta subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal da-ta would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal da-ta and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

Saruman tries to corrupt Gandalf
An event in Gandalf's Imprisonment in Isengard; see that entry for an overview:
'"So you have come, Gandalf," he said to me gravely; but in his eyes there seemed to be a white light, as if a cold laughter was in his heart.
'"Yes, I have come," I said. "I have come for your aid, Saruman the White."....
'"Have you indeed, Gandalf the Grey!" he scoffed. "For aid? It has seldom been heard of that Gandalf the Grey sought for aid, one so cunning and so wise, wandering about the lands, and concerning himself in every business, whether it belongs to him or not."....
'"But if I am not deceived,... things are now moving which will require the union of all our strength."
'"That may be so," he said, "but the thought is late in coming to you. How long, I wonder, have you concealed from me, the head of the Council, a matter of greatest import? What brings you now from your lurking-place in the Shire?"
'"The Nine have come forth again," I answered.... "So Radagast said to me."
'"Radagast the Brown!" laughed Saruman, and he no longer concealed his scorn.... "Radagast the Fool! Yet he had just the wit to play the part that I set him. For you have come, and that was all the purpose of my message. And here you will stay, Gandalf the Grey, and rest from journeys. For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman Ring-maker, Saruman of Many Colours!"
'I looked then and saw that his robes,... were not [white], but were woven of all colours, and if he moved they... changed hue so that the eye was bewildered.
'"I liked white better," I said.
'"White!" he sneered. "It serves as a beginning. White cloth may be dyed. The white page can be overwritten; and the white light can be broken."
'"In which case it is no longer white," said I. "And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom."
'"You need not speak to me as to one of the fools that you take for friends," said he. "I have not brought you hither to be instructed by you, but to give you a choice."
'He drew himself up then and began to declaim, as if he were making a speech long rehearsed. "The Elder Days are gone.... The Younger Days are beginning. The time of the Elves is over, but our time is at hand: the world of Men, which we must rule. But we must have power, power to order all things as we will, for that good which only the Wise can see.
'"And listen, Gandalf, my old friend...!" he said, coming near.... "I said we, for we it may be, if you will join with me. A new Power is rising. Against it the old allies and policies will not avail us.... There is no hope left in Elves or dying Númenor. This then is one choice before you, before us. We may join with that Power. It would be wise, Gandalf.... Its victory is at hand; and there will be rich reward for those that aided it. As the Power grows, its proved friends will also grow; and the Wise, such as you and I, may with patience come at last to direct its courses, to control it. We can bide our time, we can keep our thoughts in our hearts, deploring maybe evils done by the way, but approving the high and ultimate purpose: Knowledge, Rule, Order; all the things that we have so far striven in vain to accomplish, hindered rather than helped by our weak or idle friends. There need not be, there would not be, any real change in our designs, only in our means."
'"Saruman," I said, "I have heard speeches of this kind before, but only in the mouths of emissaries sent from Mordor to deceive the ignorant. I cannot think that you brought me so far only to weary my ears."
'He looked at me sidelong, and paused.... "Well, I see that this wise course does not commend itself to you," he said....
'He came and laid his long hand on my arm. "And why not, Gandalf?" he whispered.... "The Ruling Ring? If we could command that, then the Power would pass to us. That is in truth why I brought you here. For I have many eyes in my service, and I believe that you know where this precious thing now lies. Is it not so? Or why do the Nine ask for the Shire, and what is your business there?" As he said this a lust which he could not conceal shone suddenly in his eyes.
'"Saruman," I said, standing away from him, "only one hand at a time can wield the One, and you know that well, so do not trouble to say we! But I would not give it, nay, I would not give even news of it to you, now that I learn your mind. You were head of the Council, but you have unmasked yourself at last. Well, the choices are, it seems, to submit to Sauron, or to yourself. I will take neither. Have you others to offer?"
'He was cold now and perilous. "Yes," he said. "I did not expect you to show wisdom, even in your own behalf; but I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly, and so saving yourself much trouble and pain. The third choice is to stay here, until the end."
'"Until what end?"
'"Until you reveal to me where the One may be found. I may find means to persuade you. Or until it is found in your despite, and the Ruler has time to turn to lighter matters: to devise, say, a fitting reward for the hindrance and insolence of Gandalf the Grey."

The winner of the South West Club of the Year 2015 is the 2013 National CAMRA Club of the Year, the Cheltenham Motor Club. The CMC has won the South West award for nine of the last ten years, which is a testament to the high standard achieved and maintained against strong competition across the region.
In late breaking news it has been announced that the club is a CAMRA Super Round winner and will now go forward as one of the four finalists for the title of CAMRA National Club of the Year.
CAMRA Regional Director Gareth MacDonald presented the South West award to Club Steward, Neil Way. Among those present were CAMRA Chief Executive Tim Page, club members and CAMRA branch representatives attending the October South West Regional Meeting.
Cheltenham CAMRA Press Officer, Tony Lucas, said: "Gloucestershire and the South West enjoy a great reputation for both the quality of the beer brewed here and the high standard of our pubs. Bristol in particular is a major destination for real ale fans. So for Cheltenham to collect both pub and club awards for the South West, and for both of them to reach the final four shortlist for UK Pub and Club of the Year" really puts the town on the map.
"The beer scene continues to develop here; the first Cheltenham CAMRA Real Ale Festival at the Town Hall attracted over 2,500 people. Somerset craft brewer Wild Beer recently opened an exciting new pub/restaurant in Cambray Place and several other new pub/restaurants are due to open in town.

Just returned from another of our wildly successful NPS bus tours ...
Today's was another in a yearlong series of bus tours that began as an experiment designed to involve the Richmond community in park-building with us. Unlike other national parks, Rosie the Riveter is situated on scattered sites throughout the city, and where the NPS owns little or nothing. There are no scenics falls or canyons, no Mt. Rushmores or Old Faithfuls or Civil War Battlefields, or parades of statuary on the Capitol Mall. The area was congressionally designated without precise boundaries. We do have the Rosie Memorial at the shoreline which was its genesis. We're defined by rusting still-existing structures from the World War II period that are privately-owned or are the property of the Redevelopment Agency, the City of Richmond, or organizations that purchased them to be adapted for other more current uses. Therefore, with a variety of partners -- we're co-creating a new national park -- and making it up as we go along. I don't remember ever a time or project that created more interest -- either in me -- or in those who are sharing the adventure with us. Little-by-little, this park is being defined by the human stories it is yielding -- with the structures, the shipyards, SS Red Oak Victory, the Kaiser Permanente and Maritime housing, the beautiful Ford Assembly Building (and the site -- eventually -- of our Reception Center), medical facilities, and prefabrication sites providing the background to those stories.
It is all so fluid at this point that it's is hard to see what form it will eventually take, which makes it all the more exciting. We're building ourselves a national park and you can feel the excitement as it unfolds and takes shape before our eyes with each of these trips into the past.
We're still in the process of identifying those relevant sites that are scattered throughout the city, and in order to do that, we invite groups of folks to board our small bus (18-passengers), and for 3 hours follow a guided tour during which (if we're lucky) our "tourists" slowly become participants in the re-living of the story of the Home Front experience from as many angles as there are people on the bus. The experience is astounding!
The fact that we're re-living times that were triumphant when viewed from the perspective of the progress made in the shipbuilding industry; times that were excruciatingly painful for the black community that entered into one of the greatest migration stories in our nation's history; a time so devastating for the Japanese-Americans shamefully interned in relocation centers for the duration; and a time that was so freeing to the women who were entering the nation's work force for the first time ... with each bus load carrying at least a few who lived some parts of those stories. Layer-upon-layer we've been peeling the onion back to a time of unprecedented social change in the nation's history, and doing it honestly, with candor, and without rancor.
Initially, it was my role as a community outreach consultant to create each group by invitation. Over the past year our past and present mayors, city manager, most department heads, some city council members, school teachers, business and professional leaders, church folks, a few teens mixed in with others, elders, all in a healthy mix of races and ethnicities have come along for the ride. There have been to date over two hundred "tourists." At one point in doing my audit I discovered to my joy that exactly 52% of our riders were African American. In lesser numbers were Latinos, with the rest of European descent. But then I was carefully controlling the makeup of the groups -- being careful to have them balanced racially, and in every other way possible. It worked beautifully. But there were some who were missing. We've had few people of Asian ancestry and none of the newer immigrants; the fairly large Sikh community or an equally substantive community of Laotians that arrived in the Bay Area as refugees after the collapse of the Vietnam War. These groups, of course, are a part of the more current migration story -- but perhaps it's too early for that kind of interpretation. We'll have to work on it.
Over the past month, we've opened the tours up to the general public. No more choreographing. Flyers were sent out. Announcements were made through the media, and a great item was published in the local newspaper by one of several reporters who've joined us from time to time. The response was overwhelming, so much so that the six tours (3 each in July and August) were oversubscribed within 4 hours of the article's release. All week I spent much of my day returning telephone calls to would-be "tourists" explaining the dilemma and promising to add their names to a bulging Wait List. But the past two groups have been totally European-American without a single person of color on board. Interesting. But not to worry. We're allowing folks to self-select now and our next scheduled group will be larger (27) and will consist of 10 African American members from Easter Hill United Methodist Church among others, a Japanese American woman from Berkeley, and a family of 3 Chinese-Americans who have history as workers on the Home Front. Another tour in mid-August will have a group of ten African American teens (14-17) from a training program -- with their director who I believe is from Nigeria. It's an exciting thought that those youngsters will be mixed in with a group of racially-mixed adults in order to encourage the direct transmission of that history to occur. The buy-in by the community is showing up in meaningful ways.
How will we deal with the overflow? Our management team has granted us permission to add two more August dates, and in addition, we're graduating from an 18 passenger model rental bus to one that holds 22 -- and for all 5 tours. However, by the time this was accomplished, my Wait List had accumulated an additional 50 names! Groups are now calling to request permission to come with their own bus (public-address-system equipped), and wanting to know if we can provide guides-only? October will see 40 members of the California Pioneers of Santa Clara County (esta. 1875) touring the still-forming Rosie the Riveter World War II/Home Front Historical National Park with two guides (I'm one) at the helm. Another group of 24 from San Francisco called to ask if we could meet them at the local Bay Area Rapid District (BART) because they like to use public transit when possible... .
And tomorrow's *West County Times Sunday edition is doing a feature story on the park and our tours and then the carefully adjusted expanded system will crash!
Come the last weekend in September we will be hosting with partners (Chamber of Commerce, the City of Richmond, and others) the 1st Annual two-day Home Front Festival. Save the date. And -- only after that date -- after October 1st -- we'll resume public bus tours and, hopefully, we'll have gained control over our popularity and the growing enthusiasm of our audience!
Success is surely the proverbial double-edged sword.
*National Park in Richmond honors women who reshaped workforce during World War II : WARTIME HEROES, The Sunday Times, West County, Sunday, July 29, 2007.
http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_6493746
Toss your walkers, your dentures, and fling your hearing aids skyward. "We can do it" too!
Would have written sooner, but I was busy getting my keys to the tree house, and everything had to be put on hold while I was being properly badged and hatted for re-entry into the workforce (as if I ever left). As unlikely as it may sound, I'm now a full-fledged National Park Ranger and I'm even wearing regulation brown socks, courtesy of our General Superintendent. (But I vowed long ago to go easy on mentioning the actual names of others in my life lest I invade someone's privacy. Learned that from one of my son's who shall be nameless.)
At an age where most have been retired for at least 25 years, I've just started another career. And -- I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm having an amazing adventure that will probably come to an end only on that day when I wake up and look for my bright and shining brass name plate (neatly placed over my right breast pocket) to figure out just who I am and what in the world this woman is doing driving to the office in my little red Beamer with my fancy-schmancy ranger hat topping her blue flannel pajamas!
Last Friday was my first day actually in uniform after several years of being a contract worker for the Trust which supports Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front Historical National Park. In that role I've been consciously aware of the privilege and responsibility of working with a national park in its earliest stages of development. The chance to help to shape what this park will be -- even in the seemingly inconsequential ways open to someone in the lower ranks of the hierarchy -- is awesome -- in the best sense of that overused word.
Though my work life started relatively late. (I didn't seriously enter the work force until my children were grown and I was nearly 50.) Since that time I've been lucky to have held a succession of great positions that -- together -- led to where I am now. Nothing was wasted; not a single month, day, or hour. And it all came at a time when I was fully mature with an impressive time line in exciting eras of political change; with an awareness of where I fit into it all; and with an enthusiasm that kept me contemporary every step of the way.
I thought of all that yesterday as city staffers began to file into our work space (the Park's temporary Reception Center is hosted by the City of Richmond in City Hall) to take a look at me in full regalia. It feels as if I've become symbolic of something truly important. I am a woman of color. In a strange way, through my work with the National Park Service -- we've all arrived at some new place. It feels as though we're all standing under this distinctive straw hat -- only I'm the official wearer of the moment. Some young woman will inherit this role at some point when I'm no longer around; what a humbling thought. What an amazing way to enter into a new trajectory of national life while helping to preserve the old and its lessons. In some strange way I appear to represent it all.
Much of this crossed my mind as I stood against the wall of the makeshift chapel with the other Rangers at yesterday afternoon's powerful commemoration of the tragic Port Chicago Explosion of July 17, 1944. I was there among the remaining veterans of a tiny group of survivors; family members of survivors; other National Park Service personnel; Armed Forces and Maritime Service representatives; all gathered to honor those young lives lost long ago. I could close my eyes and still bring to consciousness the trauma of that awful night when -- miles away in Berkeley -- the silence was shattered by the fury of that awful blast as it broke through our sleep. Some of the lives that were lost had been at an innocent afternoon party only hours before in our little apartment. They'd left hurriedly to make it back to Port Chicago before curfew ... .
I never knew their names.
... and here it was. Betty the Old with Betty the Contemporary, and both awed by the wonder of it all ... .

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp is selling its entire stake in the Terra Nova oil project off the eastern coast of Canada, though the world's largest publicly traded oil producer said it was committed to remaining an investor in the region.
The project, located about 217 miles (350 km) off Newfoundland and Labrador, produced about 5,000 barrels of oil per day in 2016.
Exxon is selling all of its 19 percent stake in the project and initial bids are due March 30, according to data and a document from Schlumberger's oil and gas asset sale business.
Exxon confirmed the sale process, though said it does not involve other assets in the area. "We continuously review our asset portfolio to ensure it meets our strategic objectives," Exxon spokeswoman Suann Guthrie said in a statement.
The Terra Nova project consists of a floating production, storage and offloading vessel to produce oil.
The project has pumped 400 million barrels of oil and consists of 30 wells that pumped about 31,000 barrels per day last year, the document said.
PetroCanada, Husky Oil Ltd [HYOLTD.UL] and Murphy Oil Corp are other partners in the project.
Shares of Exxon were barely changed in early afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange at $78.88.

The Best Support for A Missionary
December 4, 2019 UncategorizedDr. Robert Scudieri
Missionary to America John Cobos
Missionary John Cobos grew up in a city in the mountains of Ecuador, a long way from his mission in Tampa, in distance and customs.
Thirty years ago, before Missionary Cobos came to America life in Ecuador was difficult – at one point 30% of the population was unemployed. At nineteen and eager to make a better life for himself he joined his father and brother who had come to New York to find opportunity. With the support of his family he began studying law and devised a plan to complete most of his studies in America and return to Ecuador to begin his own law firm. But the Lord had other plans.
A door was opened for him and his brother to begin a dry cleaning business. With no work prospects if he returned to Ecuador John took the opportunity. Looking to extend the dry cleaning business, he came to Tampa. There the Lord had another surprise.
One of the workers he employed in the dry cleaning business invited the young man to church, to Messiah Lutheran, to serve in her wedding as her godfather. At the wedding he met Yolima Sanabria. Yolima's father is a missionary to Spanish speaking people in Tampa and John was attracted – to Yolima and to the idea of serving as a called representative of Jesus.
With a push from Pr. Sanabria, John became a part of Concordia Seminary's "Hispanic Institute." On line classes allowed John to continue to run his dry cleaning business and to serve the Lord as a missionary. Income from the business gives him and his young family the monetary income they need. Preaching and teaching the Word of God gives John the fulfillment he longed to have when he decided to come to the US. But he and Yolima could not sustain the mission on their own. The best support for a missionary is partnership.
Every new mission and every missionary would long to have a partner like Paul had in the Philippian Christians. This was the first church Paul established in Greece, sometime between 49 and 51 AD.
Paul's letter to the Philippians was written about ten years after the church was established. Paul was in prison and wrote in part to thank the Christians in Philippi for their support. He had seen them go through much in ten years; they were not a perfect church – but they had been faithful and sacrificial. So he wrote to them, "I thank my God every time I remember you. In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." (St. Paul to the Christians in Philippi, Chapter 1 verses 3-5).
Forgive me when I say too many "partnerships" are vandalized by three things, things that kill good partnerships: suspicion, selfishness, and ignorance. This is not necessary. At Messiah in Tampa it took a while for the Anglo church and the new outreach to Spanish speaking immigrants in the church's neighborhood to trust each other. The secret to the ten year partnership they enjoy is found in the respect and trust the two groups have invested in each other – this is also one sign of good leadership. It is also found in each group's willingness to sacrifice – the church sacrificing space, money and even dedicated times of worship in order to accommodate the mission. The mission in its sacrifice of talent and time – John is a bi-vocational missionary. Not only does he have to balance time with his family and his calling to missionary work, but add to that running a small business.
Jesus the Carpenter knew about sacrifice – He left His Father and all the saints in His heavenly home. He sacrificed His life for us and now is our Partner in the greatest work imaginable, the temporal and eternal salvation of human souls. Mathew 28:18-20 is a great commission but it should better be known as the Great Promise. When we go on our way to make disciples Jesus' promise is, "Lo (which means "pay attention to this – this is important") I am with you always."
When Christians partner with Jesus' in His mission they value each other's sacrifice, they are willing to make offerings of themselves to each other and they sincerely respect what each has to give away. When such a partnership exists they have more of a chance to say what Paul did in his letter to his partners in Philippi, "I thank my God every time I remember you."
THE MOST IMPORTANT MISSION IN AMERICA TODAY
September 15, 2019 UncategorizedDr. Robert Scudieri
Rev. Mark Adrian, Pastor/Missionary
"Where there is growth in American Christian denominations, it is driven mostly by nonwhites, whether Catholic or Protestant, evangelical or mainline. Over the past half century, 71 percent of growth in Catholicism, for instance, has come from its Hispanic community. In the Assemblies of God, one of the few U.S. denominations to show overall growth, white membership slightly declined while nonwhite membership increased by 43 percent over 10 years." Wesley Granberg-Michaelson*
The most important mission for a church in America is reaching an ethnic group different from their own. We are in the midst of a great change – from a time not so long ago when eighty percent of the people in America were White English speaking to a time not so far away when White English speaking people will be less than fifty percent of the population in America.
Pr. Mark Adrian is the pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Tampa, Florida. He has been successful in reaching out to their increasingly Spanish speaking neighbors. Pr. Adrian and Wesley Granger-Michaelson know this: unless an Anglo (White English speaking) church is reaching an ethnic group different from its own it is contributing to the demise of the church in America.
The same could be said for a homogeneous African American, Korean or other congregation. And we are not talking only about numbers. As Granberg-Michaelson says in the same article, ""Multiracial congregations are expanding to draw 1 in 5 churchgoing Americans, and surveys report a higher level of spiritual vitality among them compared with racially homogeneous congregations."
Pr. Adrian inherited his multi-ethnic mission. Previous leaders took the initial risk to call someone to help them reach Spanish speaking people in their community – a wise thing to do in Tampa, Florida, where 20% of the population speaks Spanish. Pr. Adrian came to Messiah Tampa partly because he wanted to be on the forefront of God's mission to America.
I asked Pr. Adrian what his advice would be for a congregation that wanted to reach out to an ethnic group different from their own. This is what he said:
Listen to God, and listen to the people of the new group you want to reach. Do not lay your ideas on the new ministry. How I would have proceeded is very different from the way those doing the work want to reach a new ethnic group for Christ.
Take time to see who is a leader in the new group. Do not make that decision quickly or lightly. Who reflects the image of Christ, is spiritually and emotionally mature?Who among the new group has ideas the rest want to implement, and can lead the group from a vision to reality? Who is willing and able to invest four or more in a process to become certified to lead Christ's people? This takes time to discover.
Be prepared to sacrifice. The original church should realize they will have to give up some things, and this will cause consternation among the members. This can be managed if the people are mature Christians, and proceed in love, ready to forgive.
Realize one of the things you will have to sacrifice is space. Messiah does not have a large plant and at one point had to rearrange their times of worship so the new Spanish speaking service could succeed. In fact, the initiating church should be ready to give the new people priority for using the space. Sacrifice. It is not just a word, and to be taken lightly.
Speaking more about sacrifice, the new group may need financial support, at least for a while. The original church should allow the new group to fund raise among the sponsoring church's members. But the group can and should be encouraged to develop resources as much as possible from among themselves, as well as finding support from other groups.
According to Pr. Adrian, in the end there are many more blessings than sacrifices! The mothering congregation will learn about its community, and will find the new group may be even more ready to join in projects at the church than members who have been longer at the church. In his experience, the new ethnic members are more willing than many to help – help each other and help those in the mother church.
It was not our Lord's intention that His Body be divided into separate pieces defined by language, culture or skin color. His Great Commission Promise sent the church to every nation, to every ethnic group – as difficult as it was for Peter and the other early leaders to accept.
The most important mission in America today is for a church to reach an ethnic group different from their own. If it takes a miracle, maybe a sheet coming down out of heaven with strange food on it to open our eyes, so be it. However I would pray that we would be motivated by His Word alone.
Can the face of the church look more like the changing face of America, better still, more like the face of heaven as John describes in Revelations 7:9?

A Path To Missionary Service
August 9, 2019 UncategorizedDr. Robert Scudieri
Missionaries to America Deaconess Flor and Rev. Miguel Sanabria, Sr.
"A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." (Proverbs 16:9)
His proud father set out the path for his oldest son.The ten year old boy stood quietly as the older man made arrangements for him to enter a Roman Catholic seminary in Colombia, South America.
Everyone agreed that the boy, Miguel Sanabria, was smart; he loved going to class, he loved learning. But his father saw something more – saw the boy's love for the Divine – saw the making of a priest. Parents could make that decision for their sons and feel blessed to have a child who could grow in service to the Lord. Miguel would not disappoint. The path he was on led to more responsibility.
Later, as a young man, he was singled out by his professors as someone with rare potential. Miguel was one of two students from his seminary chosen to continue his studies at a higher level. After ordination an early assignment saw him serve as a university chaplain. A Cardinal recognized the promise shown by the young priest and invited Father Sanabria to accompany him to Rome.
That path led to even higher service. Miguel became a professor at the seminary in Colombia – but then God turned Miguel in a different direction.
Realizing his father's choice was noble he still knew he was not called to walk the road his father had laid out. Miguel Sanabria left the priesthood. It was a courageous decision. Recognizing Miguel's talent and love for the Lord's work, the church made him the head of all education programs for the Catholic Church in Colombia. That was only the first change.
By God's grace he later met Flor, they married and formed a partnership to follow a passion put in their hearts by the Spirit of God – the passion to bring the good news of Gods' undeserved love and forgiveness to all. The assumptions the people of God had made about the Messiah were way off track. Jesus surprised them all. He came as a servant, a servant who died in our place, taking the punishment we deserve – so we could live with that heavenly Father forever. To share that good news Miguel and Flor were put on a path that led them to Tampa. Today they minister to four new missions in Tampa, missions begun by the family of Deaconess Flor and Rev. Miguel Sanabria.
Miguel's earthly father would not have guessed his son would become a missionary. Or that he would go with a wife and children into the mission field. And not in Colombia, even though there was great need in that country, but the mission field of Tampa, Florida. The Heavenly Father had laid out a different path.
I wish I had a dime for every missionary who said to me, "I never thought I would be sent to (you name it) Africa, China, South America." Let alone the United States. All of which says to us, "For your thoughts are not my thoughts neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord." ( Isaiah 55:8)" We do not choose God, God chooses whom He wants to serve where He wants them to serve. Few feel worthy or prepared to serve.
No one in my high school class guessed I would enter seminary, let alone manage missionaries. St. Paul was even less likely a candidate. Even after he gave in to the Voice on the Road (Acts 9) there were times he still couldn't find the path.
Eager to be a missionary in Bithynia in Asia, his path was blocked and he found himself a missionary in Europe. I wonder if he was disappointed; after all the prayers and planning he would have to forgo mission work in Bithynia. Who would have guessed that three hundred years later Nicaea in Bithynia would become the site of the first worldwide church council, and produce a creed endorsed by the Emperor of Rome? God's way is full of surprises.
There are still surprises your Father in heaven has in mind for you.
Out of love a father in Colombia put his son on a path he believed would lead to serving a wonderful God as a priest in Colombia. His heavenly Father had another path. We can all remember that., and pray "Show me your ways, O Lord. Teach me your paths." (Psalm 25:4)
What Does It Take To Start A New Mission?
July 26, 2019 UncategorizedDr. Robert Scudieri
Missionary to America Miguel Sanabria, Jr.
Last Spring I asked the President of the Florida/Georgia District Greg Walton to suggest a missionary I could interview for the Mission Nation website. He did better than that – he suggested the Sanabria-Cobos family in Tampa, Florida. Mark Adrian, the Pastor of Messiah, Tampa, works with this missionary family. As of today they have begun four new Spanish speaking missions in Tampa.
Decades ago when I was the mission executive for the English District I worked with faith-filled congregations that asked if they could begin a new mission. Back then just asking the question was a bold move. The assumption was that districts began new churches. I had to remind pastors and church leaders that wasn't always the case.
A young pastor reminded me of that – he had recently become the pastor of a church where his grandfather had been pastor. He showed me a church bulletin from his grandfather's time in the 1920s; along with the morning service there was a scheduled "Mission Service." I asked him what that was. He told me that most churches in those days held worship in the morning for their existing church and another in the afternoon for the new church they were starting. It was assumed that every pastor would lead their church to start a new mission and lead an afternoon "mission service." How times changed.
By the 1980s churches did not know they could start a new church. That was "district's" responsibility. I made it part of my ministry to try and change that and encourage congregations to start a new church. When an existing church was ready to begin a new mission one of the questions I would invariably, and rightly, be asked was "What does it cost to start a new mission?" So it is interesting that a modest church in an urban area like Tampa could begin three new churches. I was curious to know how the missionaries had done that.
So, what does it take to start a new mission? At Messiah Tampa it boils down to passionate sacrificial mission leadership by a team. I'll try to explain. in 2007 Miguel Sanabria, Sr. led his family from Colombia, South
America to Tampa. In Colombia the senior Miguel had decided to leave the Roman Catholic priesthood after a distinguished ministry as an educator. After he left, the Roman Catholic church selected him to lead ministries in higher education in Columbia. He married and raised his children with a desire to make Christ's love real to all – a challenge in a country being torn apart by crime and poverty.
In America Miguel Sr. was given an opportunity to use his education background. A Spanish speaking friend invited him to a meeting where theology was discussed. It turned out to be a meeting of students in a seminary extension program. Run by the Concordia Seminary Hispanic Institute the seminars prepared students for ordination. Miguel did something significant – he invited his son, Miguel, his daughter, his son in law and his wife to attend the meetings.
Miguel Jr. joined his father in Tampa to study for ordination in the Lutheran Church. Eventually Miguel Jr, Miguel Sr, his son in law John Cobos would be ordained as missionaries to America. His daughter Yolima and wife Flor became deaconesses in that same effort. As a family they entered theological training.
The family has given itself to bringing Jesus to a weakened American church. By God's grace their passion to serve Jesus has overcome the obstacles of leaving their home and coming as missionaries to a foreign land.
What does it take to start a new mission? Not money, not luck, not an easy life – but passion, primarily the passion of Jesus, whose passion won freedom from death for humanity, whose Spirit moves us out of lives of comfort to step out onto a platform constructed of the love of Christ for all people. His passion is what creates new missions.
"Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships, and calamities; in beatings, imprisonments, and riots; in labor, sleepless nights, and hunger; in purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, slander and praise; viewed as impostors, yet genuine; as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything." (2 Corinthians 6:4-10)

Winning Tampa for Christ Five Houses At A Time
Missionary to America Yolima Sanabria Cobos
Yolima Sanabria Cobos has a dream to bring the Word of the Lord to everyone in Tampa.
Yolima did not grow up in Florida. Her early years were spent in the country of Colombia during a time of terrible unrest. Her father and mother, saints committed to serving Jesus, raised their children in the love of the Lord. This love was severely tested in Colombia, where drug cartels went to war with the country's authorities. Political parties fought each other. As a young woman she saw violence take over her homeland.
Yolima became an activist for peace and order. Eventually this would bring her to the attention of lawless people who had the power to end her life and the lives of her loved ones; it eventually caused her to flee with her family to Tampa, Florida – along with many others who feared for their and their families' lives. In one sense Yolima saw this as God's salvation for her, but also as God's way to bring more people to faith in Jesus.
America is seeing many immigrants and many Spanish speaking immigrants arriving from countries like Colombia, countries torn by war and violent divisions. Many immigrants did not hear the gospel in their homeland.
Concordia Seminary has perfected an Hispanic Institute to prepare Spanish speaking missionaries to bring the love of God to the new arrivals. Yolima's father had extensive theological training in Colombia; he entered the Concordia program to enhance his skills and be ordained. The classes are based on a distance education curriculum and Yolima, the youngest of the three Sanabria children, found them fascinating. She asked to be allowed to sit in when professors from the seminary occasionally came to Tampa to supplement online classes. Yolima says "It was beautiful sitting in and listening to the professors." She had a hunger to learn more – and applied for entry to the seminary's deaconess program.
Messiah Lutheran Church in Tampa, the city where the Sanabrias emigrated, saw an opportunity to reach out to the new Latino population. Pr. mark Adrian and the members of Messiah accepted the family as missionaries and provided support to begin new missions to the immigrants. Yolima became a deaconess-missionary. She is not paid by the church – income for her and her family comes from her position as a director for Mary Kay Cosmetics. But Mary Kay is only an avocation – her vocation is bringing Christ to those dispossessed from countries where mayhem and murder are too much a part of life.
In her Mary Kay job Yolima visits five homes a day, but she does more than provide cosmetics. It is her vocation to daily bring Christ into those five homes. Her heart's desire is to reach all of Tampa with the good news of God's love for human beings. She brings Christ with her to meet everyone along her way. Yolima's passion to bring God's Word to all people fulfills Jesus' desire, the same desire that drove Him to a cross and then through His servants to bring His love to the whole world.
"So the Master told His servant,'Go out to the highwas and the hedges and compel them to come in so that house will be full.'" Jesus to His servants in Luke 14:23.
Thank you Lord for Yolima Sanabria Cobos.
The Church in A Donut
May 23, 2019 UncategorizedDr. Robert Scudieri
The Church in A Donut: Missionary to America Carl Johnson
Carl Johnson is not your typical missionary. He had to overcome several challenges to become a missionary with Lutheran Intercity Network Coalition in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was raised by a single mother in Atlanta. His mom worked full time; when Carl was nine years old his mother was the secretary of a megachurch, a church that had thirty thousand members and sent missionaries to Ethiopia. He went to Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. Nevertheless, when he became a teenager, church had no appeal for him.
Carl did what too many young men in the city of Atlanta did, he became involved in drugs, then when he was seventeen, the drug trade.
At nineteen he went to jail. He tried out Islam, becoming a Black Muslim (his brother is still a member of The Nation of Islam). On probation for his first drug offense, he went back to selling drugs. He was arrested again, this time with a friend who had a gun in the car. This brought a more serious charge.
But Carl's friend could not be found when it was time for trial. There were too many young people coming before the courts in Atlanta; room in the jails was tight, and it was expensive. Carl, the one who showed up for the trial, was let go. Tired of being arrested, trying to start a new life, he moved to New Jersey. That's when his addiction to alcohol began.
Not able to hold a job in New Jersey, abusing alcohol, he tried to get away from his dependency by moving to South Carolina – that did not work either. At least during his time in South Carolina he was able to follow a new passion, cooking. He attended a cooking school and learned a marketable skill. That was not enough to keep him anchored.
Still restless, Carl Johnson thought he might find a job and a sense of normalcy by moving to Orlando. By now he was a binge drinker, and his troubles continued. One day. after a night of heavy drinking, he woke up in a place he didn't know. Stumbling home, he passed out in front of Orlando Baptist Church. A passerby called 911 and Carl was brought to a nearby hospital. He was examined, and released, but he had no one to call to help him; setting out by foot, he tried to find his way to the apartment he rented.
But Carl did not know Orlando very well, made several wrong turns, and at 3 am, still on foot, he was still two blocks from his apartment. His feet hurt from so much walking in shoes that were falling apart, so he took his shoes off and kept walking. A prostitute he passed on the street, seeing his sorry state, said to him, "I know how you feel." It was then he remembered the Bible story of the prodigal son, and felt himself sinking in mud in a pig sty. He cried out to no one in particular, "O God, why me?' He did not expect an answer.
Finally home, stumbling into his apartment, he fell into a deep sleep on his couch. After a couple of hours (and he remembers this clearly) it was 6 am – he jumped up from the couch when he heard someone yell his name, "Carl!" He sat up, looked around, but there was no one there.
Now awake, Carl says he knew exactly what he had to do. He cleaned himself up and went to church. After church was over, he was brought to a drug treatment program for young people struggling with an addiction, Teen Challenge. The third day after entering that program, Carl Johnson knelt at the church altar and asked God for forgiveness and healing and prayed Jesus would be his guide. That is when his life changed, the Lord led Carl to Melanie, a wife to share his life and ministry. Shortly after, he entered training for Christian mission work.
Carl did not know it, but all along he was being formed as a missionary, for a specific ministry. It's not that God made him an addict, or forced him to jail or led him to "Prodigal Son Land" – but Carl was a vessel, a cracked vessel, that was useful for important ministry, a ministry that few other missionaries could serve. Melanie was his co-missionary.
His first call was to be the assistant to the Pastor of a new church plant in St. Louis. He grew to hate church planting – church planting felt more like a job than a ministry. Joyce Meyers Ministries is located in St. Louis and presented a ministry he felt more called to – counseling men who had become addicted. He rejoiced in the blessing to teach Basic Bible to the men. Carl says, "This brought me to life. I learned so much." Then an opportunity presented itself to minister at an established church in Ohio.
Carl could not get the story of Jesus' feeding the five thousand out of his head, or his heart. He heard Jesus turn to him, as he had to his disciples, and say, "You feed them." Using his experience in food preparation, Carl established a team to work to end food insecurity in the neighborhoods around the church. The church had only 200 members in a community of forty thousand population, but with volunteers and grants those two hundred served twenty five thousand meals, "One child at a time." Carl's vision was to duplicate this in ten major cities in America. He did not know how it would get done, but he wanted to try. He prayed, "God provide for us, God provide for others." That prayer changed to "God help us provide for others."
People saw Jesus moving in that Ohio church. Carl prayed for a chance to expand the ministry, and that's when the senior pastor said, "Carl, you are ready to be on your own. I know you have a dream; it is time for you to be the captain of your own ship."
A call came for Carl to lead a new church plant in St. Paul, Minnesota. "Oh no! Not a church plant," he sighed. God has a funny sense of humor. But a cohort of ten missionaries would enter the Twin Cities to see where the Lord might start a new mission. Carl and Melanie wanted to begin in the "Donut." As Carl tells it, if you look at the downtown of any major city you will see a ring where there are no churches and no Christian presence. It will usually be a poor area, a part of town where people will not have access to a church, or good food. People living in this area may be there for the anonymity: plus Carl believed, "The city is a refuge for the sinner."
He began the ministry by going around and meeting people – people at the barber shop, people at the bus station. It became apparent that this donut had bad housing and difficult access to affordable and healthy food. He was not sure what he could do about the housing, but he had expertise in preparing food – more than twenty thousand meals worth!
At first he cooked the food himself: he could create fifty meals for $50. They cooked a lot of meatloaf and lasagna. He found a theater that offered its space for people to come to eat. He put table cloths down and arranged for dinner music. But he was not able to build capacity beyond fifty hungry people. He had to rethink this strategy. However, this first try was the base to build a multi-ethnic core group. That is when he met Ben Griffin, the head of Lutherans in Inner City Networking. LINC's ministry is to partner with urban missionaries to add capacity to their work. Part of that capacity was providing Carl with formal practical and theological training to become an ordained missionary. LINC also introduced Carl to potential funders, churches with the desire and capacity to help him. The ministry took off.
Carl was at a conference when the idea came to him: the "Donut" where we minister needs a place where city people can find quality food at a reasonable price – but it is not reasonable to have one store in one neighborhood and not give access to another area. "What if we started a grocery store in a storage container? We could move it from place to place on different days." He approached engineers and architects he had been introduced to. They loved the idea. Local farmers could be encouraged to bring their food downtown; meals kits could be developed for use by seniors and others who lacked mobility. He heard Jesus say, "You feed them." His vision became, "Every church a grocery store."
Carl Johnson may not fit your stereotype of a missionary, neither did St. Paul. Carl is a missionary, responding to God's call to feed His people – with groceries, and with God's Bread of Life.

Missionary to America Professor Shang Ik Moon
"Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know about me and what I am doing. I have sent him to you for this very purpose,that you may know about us, and that he may encourage your hearts." Ephesians 6:21-22
Professor Shang Ik Moon had seen the movie. It was a good thing, because chances for his survival were not good.
The bullets flying and the bombs falling were just the beginning. It was after this, as a child on a dark mountain in South Korea, with snow piling up, cradling his infant nephew in his arms, hiding in a crevice away from the freezing cold winter weather , with hostile soldiers moving around him, it was then that the memory came back. A classmate had invited Shang Ik to see the Jesus Movie. He hadn't gotten a lot out of it, but he remembered one thing, Jesus saying, "I will be with you always." Now, for the first time, he prayed – "Jesus, be with me."
St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians, cited above, was written from prison – a time when Paul must have been wondering how, if at all, his suffering would have a purpose. But Paul sends his representative Tychicus to comfort the Ephesian Christians in their struggles! What an act of love; what an act of faith. Matthew quotes Jesus, "Lo (pay attention, this is important) I am with your always." Sometimes it means just putting one foot in front of the other, trusting that He knows where we should go and we are just following Him, blindly, believing He is with us. You and I know about that. I sure do.
In 2016 LK Wood, the scion of the Wood Realty Company in St. Louis, asked for my help to write his biography. LK (Lowell Kenneth) had a story of survival and faith he wanted to share. I had never written a biography, and really wasn't interested, I had my own purposes to fulfill,. But LK was persistent. So, it turns out, was the Lord.
I interviewed LK, recorded the interviews on audio tape, and wrote what he told me. It took months, and before I was finished LK, eighty nine years old, passed away. Patty, LK's loving wife, wanted the world to know his story and brought the manuscript to a publisher, Rebeca Seitz. This had not been my understanding when the work began – it was supposed to be an account for LK's family. The publicist concurred. What I had written was not for commercial consumption – but, she said, if I wanted to work with a coach, learn to write biography and rewrite the book, well, maybe there would be a future for the book in bookstores.
To make a long story short, I worked with a wonderful coach, Julie Ieron, who had many books published. We took six months to re-write LK WOOD, AS EVERYONE SHOULD, for sale in book stores and on line. But that was just the beginning. I wondered what I would to do with this new skill. I realized the Lord had opened a new door for ministry: I began Mission Nation Publishing Company to publish the biographies of new missionaries to America. These are courageous, intelligent, passionate men and women whom I had met while leading missions in the United States for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Missionaries like Shang Ik Moon.
When US Army Air Force Chaplain Eduard Vajda asked the Korean boy, "What is your purpose?" he had no idea. However, he was willing to go through the door Jesus was opening. Decades later Professor Shang Ik Moon retired as the Provost of Concordia University. You can read the full story of how one child in the midst of a horrific experience in a horrific war found the purpose created for him by the God he had met in a movie.
Maybe you are just trying to put one foot in front of the other, unsure of where the Lord is leading. At those times, allow Him to cradle you in His arms, to carry you through the fierce storms and hostile challenges and bring you to the purpose He has for you. This may be difficult, may even be impossible, and we may even have given up. That is why Jesus died in our place. Jesus did kep going, He followed through on God's purpose for His life; He did that for you and me and for all who are confused about where the Lord is leading. He said for us all and on our behalf, "Father, into hour hands I commend my spirit." Jesus did not give up because it was God's purpose for Him to love and forgive us all.
Still, out of His love, when you and I commend ourselves into His hands, in time He will reveal His purpose, He will help us to know Him, and He will encourage our heart.
When One Door Closes…

Tesfai Tesema
"I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." Psalm 84:10
Tesfai Tesema walked through a door in Saudi Arabia. For him it was a door of no return.
Before his time in Saudi Arabia, the first door he walked through was a jail cell in Eritrea, He had been put in prison by the then communist government. He never expected he would walk out alive, but he did. That door was "accidentally" opened. A miracle which allowed the atheist to escape and begin a long and danger filled trek
to Saudi Arabia. There, another door unexpectedly opened – by a greater miracle than a jail door swinging open unexpectedly Tesfai became a Christian – yes, in Saudi Arabia! As a part of the Saudi underground church he used every means to tell Muslims about Jesus. Unable to contain the joy and hope and love that lived in him, he caught the attention of the wrong people. One day he came home to find a threatening note from the local police. To save his family he had to exit the country. It is a truism that when God closes one door He opens another.
The only country he could legally emigrate to was Sudan.
Life was not easy in Sudan. Refugees were overwhelming the government's capacity to care for them. People, Tesfai and other Christians, slept on the ground in a park. The small Christian community opened their arms to them, but while there was great love to share there wasn't much treasure. No matter the challenge, Tesfai led the refugees from Saudi Arabia dn the thousands fleeing persecution in Eritrea to begin worship services. The numbers grew. More churches were begun. The Word of God spread like wild fire. Then, another door opened – this one truly unexpected – a refugee visa to the United States.
Today Tesfai Tesema is a missionary in San Jose, California. He is opening doors for Eritreans and the door of a congregation of ethnically diverse young millennials. Who could have believed an atheist from Ethiopia could be brought to the United States as a Christian missionary?
This was no accident. Jesus made a bold claim in John 10: 7,"Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved…" In Tesfai's life this has proven to be true many times. It is true in my life and, I expect you can say the same.
Doors close on you and me all the time, but one door always remains open, the door to a cross, the door to a grave, the door to salvation – the door that opens after one door closes, the door opened by our Lord to realms no human can expect.
Needed: A Seat At the Table

President Michael Gibson, Pacific Southwest District, The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod
"Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?" James 2:5
"Go into the Word of God – it transforms us! It's not OK to be a country club." Mike Gibson.
To be honest, in my experience, many but not all District Presidents are passionate about Christian missions. Mike Gibson, the first term president of the LCMS Pacific Southwest District, has made bringing more souls to Christ his first priority. That means challenging the ninety five percent White English speaking Lutheran Churches in America to "get real" and get out, to love all people, especially those unlike them. According to Mike, the church of the global north, a church of privilege, has to listen and learn from the church of the global south, a church that has learned to lose all for the sake of the gospel.
Not that the southern global church knows so much more – but it has been left out of the conversation. How would the church be different if there was a seat at the table for those "left out" of economic power, left out of political, church, local and world power even as we cater to those who have the most? How would our lives be different if the "least of these my brethren" had a full seat at the global north table? If we listened to them, what would we learn? Mike Gibson wants us to listen and learn.
Mike grew up in an ethnically diverse community in Sacramento, California. As a consequence, the ministries he has served have brought him into close contact with a diverse population. He benefited from that life experience. He didn't have to learn not to be afraid of someone who did not look like him, who spoke in accented English, whose faith challenged his. That kind of learning cannot be bought with money, it has to be acquired. This kind of learning is paid for with the profit from daily gospel interaction with people of different backgrounds.
In the January 2019 issue of the International Bulletin of Missionary Research William P. Gregory searches the heart of Pope Francis' missiology.
For Francis mission "involves love, and love always involves closeness to other people. To engage in mission means, 'going forth, coming out of ourselves and drawing near to others…This was the point when he told pastors to be shepherds with the smell of the sheep.'"(Holy Thursday Homily, March 28, 2013).
Gregory goes on to tell us, "Put simply, in their intention to be faithful and in their intention to be missionary some things Christians in fact do are counter missionary in their effects and damage the church's relationship with the potential recipients of the gospel. The problem in essence is the church 'Pharisee problem.' That is, the church often comes across looking and sounding more like the stereotyped scribes and Pharisees of the Gospels than Jesus himself."
When I asked Bishop Gibson, at the beginning of your time in office what is your deepest desire, he responded: "Congregations were raised up in a particular place for a mission reason. But over the years we have moved away from this. I pray congregations will ask 'What have we done with our "place'? As a church we have to repent and ask 'how we can engage our neighbors with the love of Christ?'" As an example Gibson sites the church in the global south.
In his experience Christians coming to the United States from Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East have a lot to each the church in the north, in America. Mike sees these Christians as gifts God is giving to the American church. These Christians have suffered and sacrificed greatly to identify with their communities. By their lives of sacrifice and forgiveness, by their willingness to lose everything and hold back nothing they are the living proof of a God who held back nothing for the sake of the world. That is the kind of witness that attracts; that is the witness of Jesus.
The new president of the Pacific Southwest District told me, "The church of the global north is better served by the church in the global south by listening to the south, to become students of southern Christians. This is something we all need. This is something the Spirit of God can use to revitalize His church."
Where do you have an opportunity to hold out a seat for a global southern partner?
IS NOT LIFE MORE?
March 7, 2019 UncategorizedDr. Robert Scudieri
Missionary to America Samuel Kamissa
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? " Jesus, in Matthew 6:25
"The missionary did not have to worry about his belly." Samuel Kamissa
Missionary Samuel Kamissa earns his livelihood as an Uber driver in Los Angeles. That is a long way from where he grew up in western Ethiopia.
In his rural area there were no local stores or churches. His mother was his Sunday School teacher, and she taught Samuel well. He loved the Lord and even more, loved telling others about the endless love of Jesus. Besides having no local church, there were other challenges.
As a child he left his home at 6 am, walking to school, to arrive at his elementary school at 7:30 am. The same walk awaited him when school was over.
But there were more dangers to be faced than lions or snakes or even thieves.
At the age of fourteen Samuel Kamissa was put in prison by the communist government for making disciples. Did that deter him? No. As Jesus asked, "Is life not more…?" Samuel kept on making God's love known, even when a well known pastor in another town, a leader of the Lutheran church body called "Mekane Yesu" (House of Jesus), was executed. The grace of God had become so alive in the young boy that when he graduated from high school he did not look for a job; instead, he went on foot to other towns and villages in rural areas. "Is not life more?
There was no organization to fund his work, although Mekane Yesu Lutherans supported what he was doing; Mekane Yesu asked their members to help him. Samuel says he did not worry about his belly. In fact, there were many such evangelists crisscrossing the country. Local Christians saw it as a privilege to open their homes to these messengers of God; they gave Samuel and the others food and a place to sleep. Early Christianity was a lot like that. The missionary did not worry about life, life in this world. The early Christians knew life was more than food, the body more than clothing.
In time Samuel Kamissa was ordained and became the pastor of a local church. One day a new door opened. Samuel was given the chance to enter the mission field of the United States. For Samuel there was never a question of having a certain amount of money to start a new church, even in America. Samuel started churches in San Diego and Los Angeles. The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod partners with Mekane Yesu Lutheran Church. Mekane Yesu is five times larger than the Missouri Synod, in fact, it is the largest Lutheran church body in the world – and the fastest growing. We in America have a lot to learn about mission work and missionaries from our sisters and brothers in Ethiopia. The role money plays in mission development is one of those lessons.
In too many cases money drives the mission in America. In this country before we begin a new mission we assess our material wealth; in Ethiopia the driving force is the gospel and the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit impels Christians to bring the love of God to everyone; when Christians step out in faith to make the love of Jesus real to others, the Lord supplies all we need to get His message out. As a missionary with Los Angeles LINC Samuel does not reach out to Ethiopians, or Africans only – but to all people. Some he meets when he gets behind the wheel to drive for Uber.
In my opinion, unless and until money no longer drives the mission in the United States the gospel proclamation will be hindered and the number of disciples will not grow. However, I see signs this is changing. There is a new passion to share the gospel, there are new shoots springing up in America – many from outside the United States – one of those is the number of missionaries from other countries, missionaries like Rev. Samuel Kamissa. Money is not the major factor in mission work. Life is more.

Dyslexia: LEFT OUT OF GIFTED PROGRAMS FOR BEING DYSLEXIC?
S: My moderately dyslexic 10 year old son was turned down again this year for the QUEST and EAST programs. I really feel like it's because he is "too much trouble" – you know, struggling to read and write (dysgraphia too). I feel the "tests" to enter are biased against LD children, and the teacher's decisions of who to pick are very subjective. I feel he's being discriminated against but again – there's no proof, these "tests" to enter the classes are all wholly subjective to teacher's choice.
It seems that you simply want the playing field leveled so he may participate in the programs. Maybe, take that route and listen to see what resources are available to help him succeed in such programs. Are they even aware of the AT available to help him? On another note, I also focused (as we did not have such programs in my school district) on summer programs at private/prep schools to stimulate my LD child. Such programs also allowed for me to explore other school options and for my child to make new friends. More, the academic stimulation during the summer was amazing. Also, other agencies have after school programs that are stimulating.

Q: Express how to send html file with json I need to send html file (frontend is on ReactJS) with a json that contains some user info from request.
I try this, but this give me a Cannot set headers after they are sent to the client error
app.get("/*", (req, res) => {

res.json({ message: req.*something* });
 res.sendFile(path.resolve(__dirname, "client", "build", "index.html"), (e) => {

     if (e) {
         console.log(`\nEROR\n${e}\nEROR\n`);
         res.send(`<h1 style='text-align:center'>ERROR ${e.status}</h1>`);
     }
 });
});

I try to search how to do this, but get solutions only for "js views"
Is there any way to do that?

A: An HTTP request can only have one HTTP response. An HTTP response can only have one body.
If I type http://example.com/ into my browser's address bar, then I get an HTML document back.
My browser wouldn't know what to do if it sent back an HTML document and a JSON text but you're trying to send back a JSON text (res.json) and an HTML document (res.sendFile) and a fragment of HTML (res.send)!

You could send back a JSON text where a property on an object was a string containing an HTML document.
{ "html": "<!DOCTYPE ... etc", somethingElse: 123 }

You could send back an HTML document with JSON in the body.
You could send back an HTML document with a link to a different URL that returns JSON.

i want to render page, reactJS dinamicly renders content, there only one index.html

General, the approach to take here would be to:

*

*Create a directory to contain the output of building your React project

*Use express.static to serve that directory from the root

*Create an Express router to handle providing any JSON that needs to be dynamically generated

*Mount that at a path like /api/

*Use Ajax to make HTTP requests to the API from the React application

So your server-side could would end up looking something like:
const myApiRouter = require('./routers/api');

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000

app.use("/api", myApiRouter);
app.use(express.static('path/to/react/build'));

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Listening on port ${port}`)
});

And then a React component would do something like:
const MyComponent = () => {

    const [apiData, setApiData] = useState(null);
    useEffect(() => {
        fetch('/api/foo')
            .then(response => response.json())
            .then(data => setApiData(data));
    }, []);

    if (!apiData) return <Loading />;

    return

        { apiData.map(item =>
{item}
) }

};

i need to send to send requested url back, for routing on frontend site (react-router-dom), if i just type localhost:8000/main, it will throw "cannot get /main" insted of /main rout on frontend, so i send request back and change route on frontend

Generally, unless you are doing SSR or static page generation, I would suggest not using BrowserRouter. Having a bunch of different URLs serve up the same content which just bootstraps different bits of client-side code isn't create for caching.
I would use HashRouter instead.
If you really want to use Browser Router, then the structure of the Express app would be similar, you just need to default to serving up the index file for anything that would otherwise 404.
app.use("/api", myApiRouter);
app.use(express.static('path/to/react/build'));
app.get("/*", (req, res) => res.sendFile("path/to/react/build/index.html"));

That said, static page generation and SRR are excellent things to do and I heartily recommend them. I generally use Next.js to achieve these. (And it has its own routing system so you'd be ditching React Router entirely for this).
If you use Static Generation then the resulting static files can be served up as per the first Express.js example at the top of this answer.
If you use SSR then you'll use the Next.js server instead of Express.

A: Because when you call res.sendFile() it send index.html to client. You cannot use res.send() in callback. Why would you do that?
