At rally, Beck positions himself as new leader for Christian conservatives
Among those surprised by all of conservative TV host Glenn Beck's recent religious talk - including at Saturday's Washington rally, where Beck said that "America today begins to turn back to God," - is the Rev. Richard Land, a Southern Baptist leader.
"I've been stunned," said Land, who directs public policy for the Southern Baptist Convention and who attended the Saturday rally at Beck's invitation.
"This guy's on secular radio and television," Land said Saturday, "but his shows sound like you're listening to the Trinity Broadcasting Network, only it's more orthodox and there's no appeal for money ... and today he sounded like Billy Graham."
Beck's speeches around his "Restoring Honor" rally have brimmed with religious language: "God dropped a giant sandbag on his head" to push him to organize the rally, he said Friday.
On Friday night, Beck held a religion-focused event at the Kennedy Center that was billed as Glenn Beck's Divine Destiny.
Beck's speech Saturday also evoked the feel of a religious revival.
"Look forward. Look West. Look to the heavens. Look to God and make your choice," he said.
Beck has also begun organizing top conservative religious leaders - mostly evangelicals - into a fledgling group called the Black Robed Regiment.
The organization, whose charter members convened in Washington this weekend, takes its name from American clergy sympathetic to the Revolution during the 1700s.
Beck's emerging role as a national leader for Christian conservatives is surprising not only because he has until recently stressed a libertarian ideology that is sometimes at odds with so-called family values conservatism, but also because Beck is a Mormon.
Many of the evangelicals who Beck is speaking to and organizing, including Land, don't believe he is a Christian. Mormons, who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, call themselves Christian.
"There's a long history of tensions between Mormons and evangelicals and some of that is flat-out theology," says John C. Green, an expert on religion and politics at the University of Akron. "Mormons have additional sacred texts (to the Bible) and a different conception of God."
"It's also competitive," Green said, "because evangelicals and Mormons are both proselytizing in the U.S. and around the world."
Some evangelicals criticized Christians for partnering with Beck this weekend because of his Mormon faith, provoking a number of evangelical political activists to pen defenses of their decision to join Beck.
But Evangelicals and Mormons have also stepped up cooperation around conservative political causes in recent years. In 2007 and 2008, presidential candidate Mitt Romney reached out strenuously to evangelical leaders, winning endorsements from the likes of Bob Jones III, a Christian fundamentalist.
Evangelicals and Mormons led the successful push to pass California's gay marriage ban, Proposition 8, in 2008. Activists from both traditions say they can set aside theological differences in the name of moral issues.
"The evangelicals participating in the Restore Honor event are not endorsing Glenn Beck's theology, nor is he asking them to," said Ralph Reed, former executive director of the Christian Coalition, who attended Saturday's rally.
"Together, we and millions of our fellow citizens are calling America back to its Judeo-Christian values of faith, hard work, individual initiative, the centrality of marriage and family, hope, charity, and relying on God and civic and faith-based organizations rather than government," said Reed, who leads the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
But Beck has sometimes upset religious conservatives. For instance, he said recently that opposing gay marriage is not a top issue for him.
Since launching his 9/12 Project last year, which is meant to "bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001," Beck has gone in a more religious direction.
The second of the project's nine principles is "I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life."
The Southern Baptist Convention's Land, who hadn't talked to Beck before a few weeks ago, has started getting questions from the TV and radio personality about theological issues.
"I think he's moving - I think he's a person in spiritual motion and has been," Land said.
"He has said as much to us," Land said, referring to fellow pastors. "That he has moved in the direction of being more spiritual, more concerned with cultural issues and seeing that politics isn't the answer."
In discussing religious values, Beck generally speaks from a nondenominational perspective, avoiding specifically Mormon or evangelical references.
Beck's religious rhetoric appears to counter the prevailing conventional wisdom that the power of religious conservatives has been eclipsed by the Tea Party movement's small-government conservatives.
But Green says that "groups of religious people who care about social issues have not gone away."
"Some of their leaders faded but that group didn't disappear," he said. "They are waiting for new leaders and my sense is that Beck would like to be one of those leaders."

These comments are what I expect. Negative as usual from the CNN crowd.
thats what you get when you post on a fanboy cite
The negativity is just a mirror like reflection of the subject matter, as for your comment about CNN specifically, I am willing to bet that you will find a much greater amplitude of articulated and thought out comments (both for and against) on this site, than you ever have a chance of finding in the "Romper Room" like comment sections of Fox News articles.
oh my goodness.....and that is an example of why we are where we are....
This guy is as phony as they come. America has too many political and religious opportunists who are mouthing platitudes that assuages emotions of the dull and the ignorant, but in the end it's the money that they hear speaking to them, and that is their god, mammon.
frootyme
Calling this joker a Christian conservative is an insult to real conservative moment.
Beck is simply an extremist of his own views. Sorry, he doesn't represent Christian conservatives.
I agree with the last post, I read these rants and understand completely why I do not watch CNN and do not listen to half of what the left says. This nation needs to move back to the Godly principles of our founding fathers. I am well educated, not an idiot or a sheep following some crazed wanna be messiah. Sorry folks, Beck has it right, if we don't turn back to God, morals, and truth we will fall as Rome did. I believe God has something better in store for all of us, whether we are on the left or right or what our politics is, it does not matter. Our ultimate destiny is in God's hands, eventually we will all see this truth, whether we want to or not. God Bless the United States of America!!!!
Which godly principles are you alluding to? Is it the biblical principle of genocide? Or is it the biblical principle of the enslavement and oppression of an entire race of human beings? Or is it the biblical principle of actively destroying the future of the people in the third world?
The Deep Toucher
This is completely ridiculous. Our Founding Fathers were oblivious to "truth" and "morals." To abide by a law stipulating that a human being can be commodified into 1/3 of a person betrays the lie. Every man created equal? The fact that founding fathers raped slaves betrays the lie. This harkening back to Revolutionary Days is a con, a ploy, a straw man. The American culture enacted by our Founding Fathers was morally and ethically repugnant. The fact that all you bat-guano crazy tea party people simply gloss over these facts proves indisputably that you all care little for "truth."
Furthermore, you are completely backwards on your characterization of the so-called fall of the Roman Empire. Firstly, it's simply absurd to talk about the fall of Rome as function of moral degeneration. The geopolitical and economic complexities of the era simply resist such reductive analysis. However, for the sake of argument, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that Rome fell AFTER it converted to "godly" principles.
Sheain
Rome fell after AFTER Constantine forcibly converted the empire to christianity.
Forcibly? Are you serious? How do you think the Saturnalia became Christmas? Constantine sought to alleviate religious tension by means of consolidating holidays. He wanted a peaceable transition. Your comment is just silly.
MadisonMan
The founders of our nation almost all believed in God, and believed that the founding of our nation was divine destiny. They nearly all believed that our nation, under the Constitution, could not continue to exist unless its people were religious and believed in God. No one disputes any of this who has read any of their writings. They all argued that belief in God should be taught in public schools and religious belief should be encouraged by the government. The "wall between church and state," so often alluded to by atheists who have never read any Jefferson was for the Federal government – Jefferson believed strongly in state governments supporting, encouraging and teaching religious belieft, including in public school. To argue that we do not need God in the public sphere and that we should be a secular nation is in direct contradiction to what the founders believed. So by all means make the argument, but do not claim any support from the founders of our country. I tend to believe they were better educated than any of you, so until I am convinced otherwise I believe they got it right.

I think it is slavery.. That great institution that built Rome.

Never know, there maybe enough stupid american that will vote for thsi idiot Beck he will become a candidate running for president. That will be the day/
I would relish seeing a Beck/Palin ticket (or vice versa) going against President Obama in 2012. Nothing more, need be said.
would the republicans really be that stupid again to have a dumb and dumber ticket?
oh my.. they need to get rid of they guy behind the curtain, he is making a laughing stock of America.
Not Surprised
And this surprises who? When Karl Rove started pandering to the extreme Christian right, he created a monster. He promised them a strong stance on gays, abortion, etc. and the Republicans delivered nothing. Now they are turning to huckster turned "high priest", Glenn Beck. Next stop, a repeat of the inquisition, under the heading of "The Reformation"
Navy wife
Karl Rove, another mormon with an agenda...... Glenn Beck won't get the nomination but he would love to be Mitt Romney's (another mormon with an agenda)'s running mate. Glenn Beck cries his crocodile tears but we remember how he treated his first wife and children. Sorry Glenn, can't vote for you, you are a man without honor. And speaking as a military family member of 26 years, I can't think of any military folks I know who are waiting for some media type to restore their honor. My husband's worked his butt off for his entire career, been compensated very well, and has respected whomever was the Commander in Chief at the time. Including the current CIC,. I am sick to death of conservatives high-jacking the military as part of their personal agenda. GB is the age of my husband if he is so taken with the military he could have JOINED up instead of partying his way through the 80's and 90's.....
Abudu
Beck will never succeed. When the fact that he is a Mormon attempting to hijack the Christian right plays out he'll be cast aside as an outcast. There is no way the Southern Baptist will accept him as one of them and certainly not in a leadership position. BTW, unless Karl Rove recently changed his faith, he's still an Episcopalian.

I'm ready. Lets all be sworn in as mor mons together. Get your wives and children, too. Let's go.

"Mormons have additional sacred texts (to the Bible) and a different conception of God."
This should be mentioned every time Beck brings up the founding fathers. His faith, the Mormon view of God, is very different from anything that could be described as traditional. It is extremely dishonest for him to disparage anyone's beliefs... especially our President as he did earlier in the week.
Cliff really loves to watch Beck on Fox.
Um Cliff, you should look up "Deism" as beleived by many of our founding fathers and let us know how that comports with your view of "traditional" beliefs.
It certainly wouldn't portend a belief that this is somehow a Christian nation, as most Christians would have you believe...that is, the matter of the founding fathers being deists. Glenn Beck is trying to, not only jump on, but take the reins of the "Christians should run this country" bandwagon, and that is surely the last thing the founding fathers would have wanted. Nay, I would venture to say that that was one of their biggest fears.
Sean: Don't worry I know the term Deism. What would the founding father's think of the church of latter day saints? That was the point I was trying to make. Do you believe the lost tribes of Israel where to be found in South America? Do true believers receive their own planet to populate with their "harem" of wives? The point is that Beck is exposing a call to morality, and that he speaks in truths, but yet he belongs to what the "founding fathers" would consider a cult. There is hypocrasy there. Your knee jerk reaction came against someone who more than likely agrees with you, so with all respect you are an idiot. I'll leave you with a quote from a founding father, who would call Beck out for being an retard.
Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.
-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom
Do you really know so little about the Mormon religion? First I don't have a freaking harem, I have ONE wife! Second why don't stop spilling out hate speech when you obviously have no clue what you are talking about. God bless you and keep you.
VA Rocks
I consider mysekf a die hard, staight and narrow conservative. When I watch Beck, my radar says "crack pot."
This is great to hear, maybe there is some hope afterall
Your not the only one, I may be a liberal, but I do have conservative friends that I respect who hate the likes of the Glen Becsk and Sarah Palins of the world. I know I'm not alone in having no problem with people that disagree with me over economic policy, or even moral issues. It's people out there that our willing to demonize half the country as Un-American simply for sharing a different view of the world that annoy the heck out of me.
Joedoe
Ben, it's people out there that our willing to demonize half the country as Racist simply for sharing a different view of the world that annoy the heck out of me.
Open your eyes, the far left is not one ounce more tolerant or less hateful that the far right. Just read these letters. I guess if we just demonize anyone we disagree with – left or right, we don't have to think, we don't have to study, we don't have to be civil and we don't had to discuss and come to a consensus so that we can work together despite our disagreements. We can just say that Palin and Beck are 27 times worse than Hitler, then feel good that they're the "haters", not us. It's pathetic.
If Beck somehow is able to bring civil discourse back to America, he will have accomplished something great. I don't care i this comes from the left or right, I just home is comes.
simpee
Glenn Beck has strings tied to Fox News, they in turn are pulling his strings. To me he has no creditability what so ever.
Larry D. Forsythe
Just out of curiosity,how many genders did you see today?
He is a hyper-inflated egomaniac who, besides making a profit off of people's fears and paranoia, has become a prophet of their fears and paranoia. He is the crying, blubbering visage upon the Tea Party Hydra that has become the new face of McCarthyism.
jopus
He is a guy trying to figure out what he could say on the Mall that wouldn't offend everyone, like his Fox show does, so he decided to talk religion. Safe bet. No one can complain about that. The message is so confusing, no one can figure out if they agree or not.
Anyone else shocked that he would say he wants to bring us all back to Sept 12, 2001?? The very worst moment in American history.. when everyone was scared and in mourning? Really? I guess it's easier to control the masses when everyone is angry and afraid. What's scary is that anyone would want to take "US" all back to that time and mentality! Does this mean he supports what happened the day before? He is in favor or terrorism and murder because it forces the masses to work as one unit without asking questions or demanding answers? What a frightening, frightening state it is that this man is in the media lime light in any way shape or form.
You obviously missed the point at what he was saying!
Sometimes there are people who don't seem to want to see the clear picture. I have watched and listened to Glenn Beck for several years. He is saying like Rodney King said years ago, "Why can't we all get along?" He is right. We watched today and saw many people of many genders and religions that were doing what we all need to do. Respect and honor those who have given their lives. Respect and honor those who are trying to make a difference. We are a nation of many different backgrounds but I think we all want what is best for our country and our children. I have been around all sorts of different people all my life. I was brought up to respect differences. Perhaps if we could use that principle instead of thinking that we are owed something, we are looked down upon, it really isn't about we, it is about all of us. Lets try to see the best in all people and perhaps many bridges will be built instead of being torn down.
Wow...did you hear anything? We pulled together on 9/11. One nation under God or not. We stood together.
No Brett, you have obviously missed the point of "why" he was saying it.
And to you S, saying that Beck is trying to bring the country together, is like saying that spousal abuse is a way to mend a broken relationship. WOW...the blinders are going around and they are (appear) free of charge. Oh wait, I see you already have some...good for you. Beck comes out and makes a touchy feely, I love God speech and everyone immediately forgets about all his fear mongering and vitriolic diatribes against anyone he considers to be "on the left." Oh yeah, he's a real saint alright.

Key policy moments of 2022
Policymakers and experts on their policy highlight – or lowlight – of the year.
By Spotlight

It has been a tumultuous year. Clutched from the jaws of the pandemic, the world has been at the mercy of stark economic headwinds and geopolitical turmoil. War in Ukraine, the energy and cost-of-living crisis, and the ongoing climate and nature crises, have necessitated urgent policy responses.
In the UK, political turmoil has sharpened the uncertainty, with Britons, reeling from inflation that peaked at 11.1 per cent in October, at the mercy of an unstable government. When temperatures dropped, strikes continued as workers felt the pinch of real-term wage decreases. And this litany of urgent crises looks like it will continue into the new year.
Throughout 2022, policymakers have attempted to tackle these challenges. Spotlight asked MPs and experts to reflect on the turmoil and choose their policy moment of the past 12 months – whether highlight or lowlight.
A loss and damage fund is a real breakthrough for climate justice
Caroline Lucas, former leader of the Green Party and MP for Brighton Pavilion
How universal public services can end the cost-of-living crisis
"Spawn of the devil": the dangerous escalation in Tory climate rhetoric
Up north, Gove quotes Engels and criticises our broken economic model – but he's stuck for solutions
Though the lack of progress on ambitious emission reductions at Cop27 was desperately disappointing, one bright light shone through the darkness. After more than three decades of campaigning, led by Global South countries, the agreement of a loss and damage finance fund represented a real breakthrough for climate justice. Despite our own right-wing press fiercely resisting the proposal of any financial support, wealthy countries finally responded to the overwhelming arguments from climate-vulnerable countries – including impassioned speeches from people like Pakistan's prime minister after the nation's devastating floods.
There's still a lot to be done. The fund is meaningless unless governments like our own ensure that it is sufficiently financed to support vulnerable countries. And that's new and additional money, not cash raided from an ever-dwindling overseas aid budget. But the creation of this fund could mark a significant shift towards seeing the biggest polluters, who for centuries have continued to burn climate-wrecking fossil fuels at will, paying up to help poorer countries deal with the apocalyptic impacts of a climate emergency that is not of their own making.
Despite its ambition, the levelling-up white paper's prescription fell short
Carys Roberts, executive director of the Institute for Public Policy Research
The UK's deepening regional disparities in health, wealth, education and wellbeing have held back the whole country. February's levelling-up white paper, aiming to define the Boris Johnson government and cement Conservative electoral gains, recognised this and set out 12 cross-government missions to address the problem. Despite this important recognition and clear ambition, the paper's policy prescription fell short. A "devolution revolution" was promised, but not on an equal basis to all areas. Fundamentally, the proposals did not challenge the features of the broken economic model that has caused our spatial inequalities. New funding was far below what has been ripped out of communities by years of austerity, or what other countries have demonstrated would be needed to truly level up.
Changing how the whole of government behaves and interacts takes time and consistency. Recent political and policy turbulence has achieved the opposite. Meanwhile, the already inadequate levelling-up funding hasn't even been inflation-proofed. But, the political prize remains for the party that gets this right, so we can expect to hear more about levelling up in 2023.
The Online Safety Bill will help make the UK the safest place to be online
Damian Collins, MP for Folkestone and Hythe, and chair of the Joint Committee on the Draft Online Safety Bill
The return of the Online Safety Bill to parliament shows that we are back on track to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online. Safety standards and protections for free speech will no longer rest on the whims of platform owners like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Instead, platforms will have to act to prevent illegal activity on their sites, open their systems up to transparency audits from the regulator Ofcom, and give due regard to users' freedom of expression rights when moderating content. News media organisations will also be protected from arbitrary take-down of their content.
The bill also includes new criminal offences, like the controlling of coercive behaviour towards women, and against the promotion of self-harm and suicide. Companies will also be required to publish risk assessments on the dangers their services pose to children. Provisions like these will, we hope, prevent further tragic cases like the death of Molly Russell, whose experiences on social media were said to have made a material contribution to the end of her life.
The government must fully adopt Labour windfall's tax
Tulip Siddiq, Labour's shadow economic secretary to the Treasury and MP for Hampstead and Kilburn
This year, the country has experienced the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation. Conservative economic mismanagement has left the UK uniquely exposed to the crisis. Politics in 2022 has been defined by one question – who should pay for 12 years of Tory failure?
Since the beginning of the year, Labour has been calling for a windfall tax on energy giants to support families with their energy bills. After months of Rishi Sunak dismissing our proposals as "disastrous" he was forced into a U-turn in May.
But in the recent Autumn Statement, the Conservatives chose yet again to protect the energy giants' windfalls of war. By failing to backdate the tax to January and end the fossil fuel investment allowance they have left billions on the table, leaving ordinary families to foot the bill. The government must now fully adopt Labour's windfall tax. If it doesn't, 2023 will be another difficult year for working people.

Trash Guy is not a young man, but he's not especially old, either. He's got short curly hair that has more gray than blonde in it. He's dressed as if he's ready to go on a hike-floppy hat to keep the sun off his neck & head, cargo shorts, plaid cotton shirt, crew socks and what the Brits call "trainers" but we call tennis shoes whether they're for tennis or not. Anyhow…he's carrying a backpack and using a large walking stick.
The reason I call him Trash Guy is because he's out most mornings picking up the trash on the side of the road. I don't know what motivates him, but he sees a need and he's filling it. I don't see him every day, and I miss him when he's not there, hoping it's just because he's decided to take the morning off and not because he's ill or has some other trouble in his life he's had to deal with.
I've often thought of stopping when I see him, rolling down the window, and shouting my thanks to him. I haven't done it yet and I don't really have a good excuse except to say that I'm driving and I have to watch for what is going on around me. I will promise you this, though-when a good opportunity presents itself I will stop and say, "hello" to him. I will ask his name and I will thank him for looking out for his neighborhood. I have no idea if he knows someone has noticed him and what he's doing but he should be told his efforts are appreciated. I'll report back when I have a chance to speak with him.
Be well and God Bless…until we meet again.

ESG Oil & Gas
By Darrell Stonehouse
Editor's note: Last year, when assembling the 2020 Top Operators report, the COVID-19 pandemic had shuttered the global economy. Oil demand had been reduced by over 20 million bbls/d and prices were at lows not seen in decades.
The mood of the Canadian industry was grim. After five years of being rocked by wild price volatility the pandemic hit like a knockout punch.
The 2021 Top Operators Report looks back at how Canada's oil and gas leaders pivoted to meet the challenges of 2020, and how they are positioning their organizations for future success.
Once again, we have tapped into the experience of professional services firm KPMG in Canada to provide insight into what strategies operators could pursue to thrive in the current environment.
The report also features a broad swath of the insights and opinions from industry leaders gleaned from Daily Oil Bulletin coverage, along with commentary from data providers Evaluate Energy and CanOils.
The worst is over.
As the pandemic recedes the global economy is gradually getting back on its feet.
Oil prices have bounced back and are now trading in the US$70/bbl range, generating free cash flow for Canadian operators after flat-lining for most of 2020. Natural gas prices are also at profitable levels for most operators, hovering at around C$3.00/GJ this summer.
But that doesn't mean oil and gas operators can relax and let down their guard, said Michael McKerracher, National Energy Leader for KPMG in Canada.
"Oil prices are at a plateau and could move either way. There are as many optimists as pessimists in the market. The OPEC+ group needs to manage supply well."
Given this market uncertainty operators must balance how they invest cash flows, he said. Repairing balance sheets remains the main priority, as it was before the pandemic.
"You need a healthy balance sheet. It was apparent a number of companies were challenged in staying solvent," explained McKerracher. "Large companies had the support of the debt markets and banks through the whole period. Smaller producers had to live through a tough environment. There was a lot of carnage along the way. Lots of good producers didn't make it."
As a result, "many companies are now focused on paying down debt," he noted. "Debt structures are being realigned as investors want lower debt to cash flow ratios."
After a tough last five years investors are looking to see a return on capital. They are also looking for improved ESG performance and a strategy for successfully navigating the energy transition as it gains momentum.
"Yield, dividends, share repurchases, capital expenditures, energy transition type costs — CFOs are trying to balance all these challenges," said McKerracher, adding that methods to return capital to shareholders will vary according to each operator's circumstances. "If you are not sure you can sustain dividend increases, then share buybacks make sense as they can be more flexible. Investors want increasing dividends but they don't want them going up and down."
There is a push by more optimistic analysts to see industry plow money back into capital expenditures to grow production. But McKerracher said it is unlikely large companies will adjust spending plans this year.
"Some smaller companies are going to spend to grow to a size to be noticed by analysts and investors. They want to grow to a size that investors are willing to play."
The long-term effort to cut costs and improve operational efficiency is expected to continue, he added, although the focus is changing towards investment in technology and away from lay-offs and service price concessions.
"Energy producers have driven most energy service companies to the point they can no longer reinvest to maintain operations. Some producers are realizing that and don't want companies to go under. They want to maintain a competitive market.
Other than technology advances, there isn't a lot of additional cost savings outside of M&A activity."
Technology, whether subsurface or in the back office, will be the next target for investment to improve productivity and drive out costs. McKerracher sees significant opportunities in automating back office functions and leveraging data analytics to improve decision-making throughout organizations.
He also expects a growing focus on ESG and energy transition efforts as governments around the world push for what they call a "new normal." But he urges caution in how these transition choices are made.
"We've seen majors divest of oilsands plays or sell assets to look better in the ESG environment but this reduces cash flows and then they don't have anything left to reinvest," he explained. "It's not a real strategy for the energy transition."
The KPMG National Energy Leader also questions whether spending on carbon credits is a good long-term strategy.
"Companies shouldn't be buying carbon credits halfway around the world," he explained. "They have to build emissions reductions into their operations through technology like carbon capture, methane mitigation, or better cokers. Investing in technologies or processes core to their operations that reduce carbon will stand the test of time rather than buying credits where you don't know their quality over time. Credits are risky long-term. Global sentiment wants investment in the energy transition and we expect CFOs to spend as it fits into their operations."
So, what looks like success in the post pandemic era?
"Long-term lower debt, a sustainable dividend, and having the money to allocate to carbon zero efforts. I don't think industry will have an easy go of it. Production is needed now and for decades to come, but it's not going to get any easier."

When designing your sales presentation tools you need to inoculate them against the major sources of sales resistance that gurus like Dale Carnegie (1888-1955) wrote about extensively.
Satisfaction with the status quo. If your potential customer doesn't feel a need to change, it's far easier to do or buy what they are doing or buying. Your presentation needs to demonstrate that the cost of changing does — quantitative as well as qualitative — does not significantly exceed the cost of remaining the same.
Fear of reducing options in resolving some problem or need. If you can't significantly differentiate yourself from competitors or make a case how your product or service is of higher value with low risk, your sales presentation will be dead on arrival.
Fear of making the wrong choice. Customers — especially large-volume buyers — want to avoid taking risks. The challenge here is to give the potential customer the tools to show how changing the status quo leads to new success.
Reluctance to be the first to buy. Overcoming this variation of sales resistance is a simple matter of pointing to business role models, whose testimonials show how your product placed them on the path to success.
Your product or service doesn't work at all. This, of course, is an insurmountable obstacle to sales resistance for obvious reasons. In this case, you have much bigger problems than simply improving your sales presentation.

Fresh crisis brews in APC as Chieftain files suit challenging dissolution of NWC
By Sunday Ejike - Abuja	 On Jul 12, 2020
One of the chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Barrister Kalu Agu, has instituted a legal action challenging the dissolution of the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole led National Working Committee (NWC).
Agu, a Youth Leader of the party in Abia State, is challenging the powers of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party to sack the national leaders barely two years out of their constitutionally guaranteed four-year term of office.
In the suit numbered, FHC/ABJ/ CS/736/2020, the plaintiff is praying for an order of the Federal High Court, Abuja, setting aside the dissolution of the NWC by APC's NEC meeting held at the presidential villa last month.
He is also praying the court for an order restraining members of the National Caretaker Committee led by Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni, from parading themselves as national officers of the APC and from usurping the functions of the party's NWC.
Plaintiff also prayed the court for an order restraining the National Caretaker Committee from putting into effect the resolution of the APC's NEC meeting passed on June 25, 2020, and for another order against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising, dealing with or relating with the caretaker committee in whatever guise to usurp the functions of the NWC.
ALSO READ: Ondo 2020: APC aspirants kick against indirect primary
Similarly, the plaintiff also prayed for an order of mandatory injunction compelling INEC to continue to recognise the Oshiomhole led members of the NWC as the authentic national officers of the party.
In the suit filed on his behalf by Mr Ukpai Ukairo and dated July 8, the APC chieftain is asking the court to strike down Article 17 of the APC's constitution which provided for the appointment of officers into the organs of the party for being inconsistent with section 223 of the 1999 Constitution and section 85 of the Electoral Act of 2010.
In a 44- paragraph affidavit in support of the originating summons, the plaintiff claimed to be one of the foundation members of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) under which he contested for the House of Representatives in Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency of Abia State in 2011 and that after the 2011 general elections the party along with others merged in 2013 to form the present APC.
Plaintiff further averred that he is an accredited APC member and that he was elected as the Abia State Youth Leader in April 2014 during the state's congress held at Umuahia, adding that the national officers of the APC were also elected in 2014 in accordance with the party's constitution.
Insisting that the 1999 Constitution guaranteed four-year tenure for party officials, Agu averred that in breach of the same constitution on June 25, 2020, APC's NEC meeting at the presidential villa Abuja, passed an illegal and unlawful resolution dissolving the NWC and also setting up an illegal caretaker committee of the NWC.
He is, therefore, praying the court to declare the dissolution of the NWC as unconstitutional, illegal, null and void and another declaration that the recognition accorded the caretaker committee is unconstitutional and illegal.
Plaintiff further prayed the court to declare that the setting up of the caretaker committee for APC by the NEC on June 25, is unconstitutional, illegal, null and void and of no effect.
Respondents in the case are INEC, APC, Governor Mai Mala Buni, Isiaka Oyebola, Ken Nnamani, Stella Okorete, Governor Sank Bello, Dr James Lalu, Senator Abubakar Yusuf, Hon Akinyemi Olaide, David Leon, Professor Their Mamman, Isiaka Ahmed and Senator Akpan Udoedehe.
Meanwhile, no date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit.

So after a good amount of conceptualizing and texturework, I'm proud to present the first few snapshots of my first and most likely biggest, resource pack project; Nova Lux. Nova Lux is going to be an MCpatcher pack that aesthetically modifies Minecraft to give the feel of playing an open-world fantasy RPG game, all through the use of the pack itself, and the features included with MCpatcher. Utilizing features such as CTM, CIT, random mobs, custom colours, and more, Nova Lux will bring over 100 new mobs to the game, over 100 weapon and tool variants, multiple races, new biomes, and some story elements and lore to drive it home. Of course these changes rely solely on visual and RP elements, as you can't add mods through texture packs (and modding is beyond my ability). For now you can check the progression of the pack here, as I complete new content, and post pictures for feedback and stuff.For now, here are some of the common block textures that I've completed.
Grass plants utilize CTM to grow taller when they are in clusters, and shorter when alone.
The Cerulean Woods is a biome populated by Cerulean Willow Trees, and various types of flowers and fungi. The trees drop whitewood blocks.
Each biome will also have its own unique mob skins too. This is a creeper replacer for the Cerulean Woods. The Fire Fairy.
Plant blocks follow a slightly different system with this resource pack. Instead of picking up the whole plant when it's broken, players will obtain seeds, bulbs, berries, or spores, depending on the plant. These items can be used to grow plants once more, but the type of plant produced may change depending on the soil conditions of the area. Seeds that are planted in the plains may not yield similar plants than if they were grown in the jungle. Seeds, bulbs, berries, and spores can also be crushed to create various dyes as well, just like the flowers in regular Minecraft. In this image, you see some of the plants these items yield while in the Cerulean Woods biome.
Oooohh. I like the look of this.
Wow. This is simply amazing. I love what you have done with the birch leaves.
That's one of about seven biomes I'm working into this pack. Four of them are subterranean and will rely on specific height limits and surface biomes to determine their appearance.
Cyrus I am in awe, I believe this just might be the greatest resource pack ever made when completed. This is quite the ambitious idea if I ever saw one.
Question: If I shear off the cerulean leaves and move them to say, a plains biome, would they stay the same colour? If not is there a mod that would allow you to do so?
Unfortunately no. :c The leaves are just regular birch leaves that use CTM and biome specificity to look that way. Any Cerulean Willow saplings you get here will also turn into birch trees in other biomes too. I don't know if there is a mod that would allow it either. Modding is beyond my ability right now.
Though who knows? Maybe in the future I might make a downloadable addon or something.
EDIT: Alright I started giving it a bit of thought, and thing I'll go halfway and just turn all birch trees into willow trees of different colours in different biomes. I started getting a bit bothered seeing the willow's randomly becoming half-birch when they reach the boundary of the biome.
This is amazing! Definitely one of the most ambitious packs I've seen in... Well, possibly forever!
Looks great so far though, can't wait to see what you have in store for the other biomes.
I really love the idea behind this! That creeper "fairy" is just amazing.
Progress has been a little bit slow because of school and other stuff, but rest assured, I've been working on this pack too.
Here's a little teaser shot of the second new biome. The Amber Spruce Forest. I'll write up the full details once it's complete.
Made any more progress on this?
Really interested to see what you have in mind for the other biomes!
I came in here expecting the usual "RPG-style" textures, but... wow. What you're doing here is amazing. Stop now, before I copy your ideas.
Really though, I'm interested as to what you'll be doing with tools and weapons. Will it just be stuff that you can get by renaming your items, or will they change with enchantments?
I like the idea of a Cerulean forest, but I'm not particularly fond of your white log textures. They don't really have any darker colours around the edges to give a "rounded" look like what you've got with the spruce logs (unless you prefer them that way, which is fine), but the main problem is that the change between light and shadow is far too abrupt with unbalanced contrast- I suggest you make the highlights lighter so that they do stand out, but also make the shadow colours lighter so that they don't stand out as much. Alternatively, you could just make the colour between the highlight and shadow darker so that it balances them both out.
It is. I haven't had as much time to work because of school, and things, but I've been making some progress. I took some time to work on some more of the mob skins. Sorry for the lack of activity.
You know, this is the kind of atmosphere that a planetary ring* would fit in with. If you're ever planning on a skybox, I'd love to see that be put in.
This is not good at all, IT IS AMAZING! I have never seen anything like this before, it's just so amazing. I cannot wait for you to be done with this so I can download it, The Forums needs more resource packs like this.
Sorry for the inactivity. Summer classes get pretty draining.
Here's a small preview of some of the new mobs that will be included in the pack.
From left to right, top to bottom: Explosive Machina, Bomb Flower, Magma Charge, Giant Snail, Chomper, Amber Crysta, Cuttlefish, Mossbomb, Harvestman Spider.
Yeah. Each biome will have its own mob variants. The picture I posted is just a random assortment of mobs from different biomes.
I have about 98% of all of the mobs arranged in this one word document, by biome, and the tally is around 100-105 mobs in total.
This is going to take a loooong time... I hope you the best!
The roses are wilted, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty, and so is your head.
I support this 150,000,000 % lol. Seriously this is a unique and very original idea. If you can pull this off your pack could possibly be the very best pack ever created for minecraft.
I like the look of the moss bomb, though I wonder if you couldn't make it without the bomb and just have a short, exploding moss creature.
In general, this looks extremely ambitious, and I look forward to updates.
My nephews and I have started posting Minecraft videos on my YouTube channel! Fairly random, but enjoyable.
General schedule is 4 PM Mon-Fri and 10 AM Saturdays. Most popular MC vid so far is the one Vechs laughed at on Twitter!

Short but sweet. Very lyrical and enjoyable.
The force of my love was strong. The sea lion lay down long. Song in the air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song. Ma, Ma--look what i did, Ma. Look what i did to my hands, I broke 'em. You gave me the stone, gave me the chisel, didn't say how to hold 'em. Didn't say to give away every piece of the puzzle 'til i was left with nothin'. But i took it upon myself to crush it up and distribute the dust. Get in the bus. Hop in the van. Jump in the water. Crawl to the land. Build another castle out of sand. Break it down and then get into the saddle again. I'm going city to city - i'm already lost. Tell the boss who is new in town. I'll ride this horse 'til it it bucks me off and i'm forced to shoot it down. I'll take him out for some gasoline. Trade this cow for some magic beans. Gonna make mom proud of the deals that I made, 'cause I'm just a modern day Johnny Appleseed But i'm glad that I never passed the genes, and I never put down the axe. Piano man got a checkered dance floor to grace and a painful look on his face. 'Cause the crowd is packed and the louder they clap the less he is able to make the connection between what he sees when he hears certain notes and the hurt that is shown in his facial expression. Ahhhhhh. I don't need your "go ahead" to go ahead. No, I know no one said it was gonna be easy, but sweet jesus who wants to sleep with me? Way too many moves to learn. Not enough people to put 'em on. Look it, mom! No hands. I built this suit of armor with wooden arms. The force of my love was strong. The sea lion lay down long. Song in the air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song. Oh God I think I'm dead I can't see outside my head Brains and bloods and cryptic gang men Czars and warlords breaking bread Thoughts are thought What's said is said I thought that 'fore you said it I didn't mean to think out loud My tongue slipped but who let it? Let it be, let me be, let me go, nah let me out My manhood nods and whispers when my father screams and shouts Dear dad I'm sad you're dead A new man standing in the pulpit He bows before a wooden cross and forces praise the culprit I'm a tenor in the choir but I sing a different song Of how the wheres and whys of now all prove I don't belong But I'm staying I've planted seeds and plan to watch them grow I've watered all my wishes dreams fulfilled more seeds to sow And I promise to learn to love the way I've learned to fear To unknot all the inhibitions tangled in my hair To let my ego mound in piles around the barber chair And make a graceful exit from my vexed troubled years I've decided I've been invited to my own resort Where knights can leave their armor neatly piled by the door And every woman, child, and man will gather by the shore and study how sea lions swim in cursive The force of my love was strong. The sea lion lay down long. Song in the air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song.

Luxurious New Boutique Hotel Set to Open in the Hudson Valley
Allison Kay Published: November 3, 2022

One of the most important parts about vacation and traveling is where we stay. It can range from an Airbnb, bed and breakfast, motel or hotel and more.
Depending on the person or people traveling in a group, this may or may not be an easy decision to make. Some people prefer Air Bnbs over hotels and vice versa.
What's The Difference Between A Motel, A Hotel And Airbnb?
Motels are smaller than hotels usually with less amenities and thrills. However, a hotel is typically larger with a lot more rooms and things to do such as a gym, lounge, restaurant and or bar.
Airbnbs have become popular over the years. This service allows owners to rent out their space such as home, house, rooms and more. Usually, those who have multiple people staying under one roof for vacation would choose this.
Are Bed And Breakfasts Still A Thing?
Typically in larger and or older homes, a bed and breakfast can provide guests with that at home feeling. It may include a home with several rooms on site. For the most part, the owner of the b&b there but there is a chance if they are residing under the same roof, its somewhere on the property, nearby.
However, taking the more expensive route can be fun and exciting.
Have You Ever Stayed In A Boutique Hotel?
I stayed in my first boutique hotel when I was in California. It felt so unique, upscale and fancy. You may not have to travel out of state to have a similar experience.
A Luxurious New Boutique Hotel Is Set To Open In The Hudson Valley

De Broederschapshuisjes zijn een rijksmonumentaal rijtje woningen in het Nederlandse dorp Vleuten.

De woningen ontstonden tussen 1599 en 1624 in het kader van armenzorg. Ze zijn vernoemd naar de in de 15e eeuw opgerichte "Broederschap van Onze Lieve Vrouwe", die de woningen tevens in bezit had. Gaandeweg zijn de woningen verbouwd en/of herbouwd. Tot 1954 werden ze verhuurd aan minvermogenden.

In een van de vijf woningen is het documentatiecentrum van de Historische Vereniging Vleuten De Meern Haarzuilens gevestigd.

Ida Lavachek
d. August 1, 2012
Ida (Metzger) Lavachek, 99, Bismarck, died July 31, 2012 at the Baptist Home, Bismarck.
A funeral service will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, August 4, 2012 at Calvary United Methodist Church, Bismarck, with Reverend Deanna Reikow officiating. Burial will be at Mandan Union Cemetery.
Visitation will be held from 6 to 8 pm on Friday, August 3 at Buehler-Larson Funeral Home, Mandan, and continue one hour prior the service at the church on Saturday.
Ida was born in Hebron, ND on February 21, 1913 to John and Kathryn (Auch) Metzger. She attended public schools there. Ida left high school at age 15 to home care for her mother and younger sister, Sophie Martha, and to keep house for her father and two remaining brothers at home. She married Deane Lavachek on April 29, 1934 in Hebron, and took high school correspondence courses after her marriage.
She and Deane worked several jobs during the first 20 years of marriage, not having any children. They worked at the Greenville store in Montgomery, MN and lived and worked in California and Washington State during the WW II years.
Ida and Deane managed a Gambles Store. She loved her husband, and wherever his work took him, she willingly followed. They moved back to ND and Deane taught school and farmed with Ida at his side. Ida liked going to barn dances of the era while Deane sat in and played banjo or guitar with the bands. She often said they would stay at the dances until the band "packed it in".
A son, John, was born in 1954 and a daughter, Kathryn, in 1956. Ida was active throughout her life in Carson, ND, in Homemaker's and Ladies Aid clubs. She was involved in Farmer's Union, Eastern Star, and she taught Sunday school and vacation bible school. Ida sang in ladies' quartets and in the Presbyterian Church Choir. She always made certain that her children had enough money to tithe at church on Sundays. At age 50 she started working for Krause's Super Value in Carson. Her family often traveled to Monarch, MT to visit Deane's relatives at their cabin in the beautiful Montana Mountains.
The family moved to Mandan, ND in 1971 and Ida worked for St. Alexius Hospital, and later on at the Mandan Hospital. Ida enjoyed dancing, canning and preserving, baking, making homemade bread, cooking, crafts, gardening, knitting and sewing. She also loved to hear John whistle.....saying it reminded her of her dad.
She enjoyed going to the mall with her niece, Mildred. Throughout her later years, she often, without knowing it, over coffee, lunches or family gatherings dispensed valuable 'life lessons' and advice to her nieces, nephews, and children. She instructed her daughter in sewing, knitting, baking, and things she deemed necessary. She always enjoyed welcoming people to her home for coffee, visits, and meals.
Many loved her wisdom, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and unconditional 'German' love. She often cooked stew, chicken, or roasts for John's travels back and forth from Fargo to Bismarck while he lived in Fargo.
Her hair turned white in her later years, and the comment most people would say to her was "You have such beautiful hair" and it gave her enjoyment. She always rode exercise bike well into her late 80's. Ida always had her daughter apply makeup to go out to her various appointments or lunches, wanting to look her best.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Deane in 1999, her parents, five brothers and two sisters. She is survived by daughter, Kathryn (Michael D.) Nilles, Bismarck and son, John Lavachek, Bismarck.

Aiden is 32 inches tall and 24.5 pounds, 90th percentile and 50th. I knew there was a reason he'd grown out of all his pants in the last month... HIs motor development is comfortably ahead of where his doctor needed to see it, and he said not to worry about speech or lack thereof until he's two at the earliest. To quote him, "Year one is about growth; year two about motor, and year three is all speech."
One interesting thing about parenthood I've discovered is that so many of the things that are "supposed" to be huge, momentous "firsts" are really fuzzy gray areas. We did definitively catch his first laugh and the first time he got into a sitting position on his own - but rolling over, crawling, walking, and now (maybe) talking have all been a long process of "Is he? Isn't he? I'm not sure. Was that - I can't tell. Ok, I guess we can't deny it anymore."
Aiden *may* be saying "hi", "Dada", "Mama", and "Aiden", in decreasing order of replicability. But even in the case of "hi", we have no way of telling if he is actually using it with an intent to greet people or if it's just a fun sound that he's discovered gets a particularly good reaction from the big people around him. It's a matter of gradual statistical correlation, and reacting as if he means it to reinforce the behavior until eventually he will figure it out. Or has figured it out.
So is he talking? I have no idea.
What about understanding? That's supposed to come well before speech. Aiden will sometimes comply with what we ask, but it's almost always only when it's in line with learned circumstances and established patterns - like saying "open your mouth" when I feed him, paired with me modeling the behavior, and yes, he opens his mouth. Does he understand the words I say? I have no idea.
On a more objective front, Aiden is eating significant amounts of solid food - probably 20-40% on any given day. He can drink from a cup if I hold it for him, with or without a straw. Cheerios are his Favorite Food Evar. He is also usually far more interested in whatever we're eating than in what we try to feed him, naturally.
One breakthrough on the sleeping front - while he has been napping in his own bed since we moved six weeks ago, for the first five he would cry pitifully when he woke until one of us came and got him. The last week, though, he's frequently gotten out of bed, left his room, and wandered out to find us, quietly and happily! This means we have to keep a sharper eye on that hallway, but it also means he's not automatically miserable if he wakes up alone, which is a good thing!
Oh, and he had his first real illness beyond a cold this month - roseola. A few days of fever, a few days of rash. Worse was the weeklong cold I got the week after - taking care of an active toddler is tiring enough even when I'm healthy!
He is also usually far more interested in whatever we're eating than in what we try to feed him, naturally.
Out of curiosity, why aren't you giving him what you guys are eating? He's past the major "allergy" phase, and he's certainly old enough to be eating table food.
The "rice cereal trick" is designed for the really young set (like, under 3 months), and yes they say it's a myth. But for Aiden, his body is certainly capable of going 12 hours without eating because he's big enough. It's really your decision whether to continue the night feedings. For him, it's just a habit. If you want to get rid of them, you'll have to do it gradually, like get rid of one per week. On the other hand, if it doesn't bother you and he enjoys it, then keep going with it.
We are, but he usually won't eat enough of it to get any actual nutritional value. If we want to get a meal into him, it still has to be baby food.

H.D.: The Politics and Poetics of the Maternal Body
Aliki Sophia Caloyeras, University of PennsylvaniaFollow
Bob Perelman
This dissertation reads the work of modernist poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961) through the lens of the maternal body, which was systematically repressed and concealed in the first half of the twentieth century despite the very public nature of women's reproductive issues in this period. H.D.'s era was one which saw the changing legal status of women, the medicalization of childbirth marked by its movement from the home to the hospital, the entry of women into the medical profession, the mainstream popularity of eugenics, the development of the psychoanalysis, and the rise of the technology of film. H.D.'s life and work provides a unique opportunity to bring together these major events of twentieth-century history with literary studies, not only because of H.D.'s connections to the Imagist movement, avant-garde cinema, and psychoanalysis, but also because of her personal experiences as a childbearing woman, a bisexual mother, and a patient of Freud. While her personal and social situation kept her on the fringes of modernist literary history throughout her lifetime, the variety of her pursuits positions her as a quintessential modernist figure. Through my sustained investigation of H.D., I argue that the childbearing woman, in all her functional physiological capacities, can be a central author figure. On the broadest level, my work interrogates the relationship between the medical and technological advances of the early twentieth century and the literature of the modernist period. By focusing primarily on H.D., I demonstrate how modernist literature grows out of an individual poet's continual personal contact with the changing technologies and medical institutions of her time. This interface between poet and culture is very much informed by H.D.'s social and biological status as a woman. Each of my chapters takes as its theme a particular possibility of female reproduction: stillbirth, birth, abortion, and pregnancy and lactation. I not only demonstrate how the socio-historical situation of the poet-as-childbearing-woman shapes the production of H.D.'s modernist writing but also I reveal how these themes exist as pervasive anxieties in modernist culture.

2012 Sack Newsletter
Dear Friends, April 2012
Thanks to a rare global partnership in ministry, we were able to share a literal touch of the Gospel with a community that became known (albeit without a recognized name) to the world on March 11, 2011.
The people of this story are from the fishing village of Kamaishi, Japan, hundreds of miles north of Tokyo. Their homes, shops and schools were situated in a rounded bay area, originally the kind of picturesque vista one might find on a calendar page: blue waters meeting convoluted forested shorelines rising in elevation immediately at water's edge, steep jagged rocky islands jutting out of the ocean waters, wind-worn gnarled pine trees that bear witness to the harsh elements of the ages. The fishing boats bobbing in the bay would only add to the imagination inspired by the scenery. Kids packed their school bags with books and moms' lunches that morning as usual. Then not long before the afternoon bell was to ring, an historic 9.0 quake jolted the country, birthing the Big Wave which eventually crashed into the elementary and junior high schools, not to mention homes, stores, hospitals, work places~ and all of those boats. Everything became a giant spillage of soup, the ingredients being the materials of town, including, sadly, many of the residents. You know the event. However, a shock like this does not disappear from lives as quickly as it does from the headlines.
One woman had a friend in this village. The grandparents' lifetime fishing boat had been splintered into oblivion in a millisecond's time. This woman's original impulse was to help her friend and the grandparents~~ until she realized that there were 129 kids in those 2 schools~ all of whom had suffered similar losses. The woman therefore created her own movement to appeal to people all over Japan on behalf of all of these kids, grades one through nine.
She raised money. Of course that was welcomed. But after the first line of necessities had been restored and the money spent, the woman wisely knew that the kids needed something more than money. They needed caring, hope and encouragement.
Someone thought about Pastoral Harp (prayerful presence through harp and voice) as a possibility toward this end. Carol was approached about the idea of visiting the village on Santa Lucia Day, December 13. This day had been considered the darkest day of the year in the old Julian calendar. Many Swedish Lutherans know the archetypal message of "Lucia," the "Queen of Lights," who dons a crown of candles in the blackest moment before dawn, bringing food to the hungry, warmth in the cold, light into the darkness. The plan sounded good, but would principals of 2 Japanese public schools accept such an idea? To make a long story short, they did. Though they had politely declined numerous forms of entertainment, the idea of prayer through harp music somehow, surprisingly, struck a cord.
There is a second chapter to this true tale. As plans were being molded for the forthcoming event, we remembered that we had received around 60 beautiful prayer shawls shortly after March 11 from churches and individuals throughout the US , all bearing the message: "Please pass these on to people in northern Japan." Could this be the plan for these shawls? The thought seemed inviting and beckoning, except that we had only 60, and we knew that we could not give to one child if we could not give to all.
A second plea went out to our sponsoring churches and prayer shawl ministries throughout the States. By December 1, we had received close to 200 shawls!
On the Day of Lucia, students, grades one through nine, and teachers gathered in the cold make-shift gymnasium-school. The woman told the legend of Santa Lucia and invited the kids to let their hearts take them on whatever heart-journey they needed to take. She affirmed that tears can help to wash. The harp was played in darkness illuminated by 50 candles. Not a word was spoken. And in that time, volunteers quietly, imperceptibly, approached each child, silently wrapping a shawl around him, around her, capping the offering with a firm grip on each child's shoulders~ to speak volumes without one word. But when the lights came on, or perhaps after the kids from these public schools were already back home, they could find on each shawl a tag written in Japanese which read:
"This shawl was knit with prayers for God's Love and grace for you. When you feel down, when you feel the need to be supported with Love, please put on this shawl. And, please remember then that I have knitted this shawl with prayers especially for you. I am praying that you will receive courage from this shawl of love and prayer."
The "touch" of God's love and grace, literally.
Thanks be to God, and thanks be to all of you in many parts of the Body of Christ who added to the thousands of hours of prayers for these students of Tonicho Elementary and Junior High Schools in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, northern Japan.
The anniversary of March 11 has come and gone. Your further prayers become invisible skeins that silently continue to touch these courageous young persons with the Love and blessing of the Lord. ~So that they also can then be blessed to be a blessing. (…And on it goes, the Kingdom of God.)
Jim and Carol Sack
P.S. I am so sorry to be sending this message so late. It happened that my Swedish Lutheran pastor-father passed away the very morning I left for this event. This only added to the depth of meaning of the day. Nevertheless for various reasons it has taken me some time to return to this report. I pray my long silence will not betray the mountain of gratitude we feel, nor especially that of the students and teachers of the schools. God bless you all! We thank God for your partnership in the Gospel of our Lord!
