There and back again: An interreligious Zoom Session
Zoom sessions have been part of our history from the beginning. This is no surprise considering our history and our background: We are an international and interfaith group, which first met 2017 for a Summer School in Wittenberg on the occasion of the 500 year celebration of reformation. A small group of Jews and Christians who believed that the stories and texts of the Hebrew Bible could be common ground for a vivid and real Jewish-Christian dialogue. It was an experiment and no one of us could have guessed the outcome. Would it be possible to read the text together? To discuss and talk about it, even though we come from different traditions? And to find a common language based on the biblical narrative? In the end it exceeded all our expectations. we had a wonderful, vivid and fascinating week reading the story of Abraham and his family together. But not just reading. We dove into the text, discussed verse after verse thoroughly and tried to make sense of the Word and us. It turns out many perspectives and many voices reading one sacred text is enriching and enlightening. The biblical text became our common ground and formed a shared language. After the week in Wittenberg we knew, that we have started something special. And we also knew that our shared journey was not done. We had been called – just as we heard it happen to Abraham – to travel down this uncharted road. And we were ready. So we continued to meet online and continued to read and debate biblical stories. Zoom became our tool to bridge the geographical distances. One year later we met again - this time at the Bar-Ilan University in Israel. So we came together again. This time with the story of Joseph.
As life sometimes has its obstacle’s not all of us where able to make it to the second Summer School in Israel. But it did not stop us. We tried another Zoom session in order to at least read one chapter of the Joseph narrative together. And this is what you will find online. We recorded it to give you a glimpse of what our uncharted roads look like.
You will find the typical manner of our discussion: First we go around and read the text out loud verse by verse each of us in the language she or he prefers. After having heard the text in Hebrew, English, Arabic, Polish or German we dive into the discussion. Sometimes with a specific verse sometimes with a question the moderator presents to us. This time after reading Gen 40 we started with the question “Can Joseph interpret dreams?” And here started the stream of thought: Joseph refers to God, to whom the interpretation belongs. But he still reads the dreams. What is his role as an interpreter? Does he simply repeat what comes from somewhere else or is he a natural reader of dreams or is he the interpreter? The discussion continued on the role of dreams at this point in the story, before it went deeper into the dreams themselves. Why do we need the baker and the wine bearer? What is the difference between them? Why do the dreams always come in pairs and what is it with the numbers mentioned in the dream? If you are intrigued by these questions and want to dig deeper into the text yourself, we recommend reading Gen 40 and then watch our recorded Zoom Session. And don’t forget: make up your own mind. It is always about the Word and us. Enjoy!


Last week, my parents closed on a house that needs quite a bit of renovation. They saw the potential in the property and have begun the process of making the possibilities a reality. Over the weekend, David and I got to see the house for the first time and spent a few hours helping complete some of the pressing projects.
I was tasked with cleaning the windows – inside and outside. This may not seem like a big deal, but the large windows had been plastered with tape and stickers making them an eyesore rather than a focal point. As I scraped and scrubbed, I noticed myself obsessing over tiny pieces of residue that would’ve gone unnoticed before the initial splash of Windex. The cleaner the windows got, the more aware I was of each remaining speck of dirt.
Our Christian lives are a lot like those windows. Apart from Christ, we are a disaster. We are dirty, yet incapable of cleaning ourselves. When God saves us, though, He forgives and cleanses us (1 John 1:9). He begins the process of making us like Jesus – a process that will be complete in Heaven.
Initially, the changes may seem pretty drastic, like wiping a Windex-soaked rag over a dirt-laden window. Over time, however, we tend to become increasingly aware of the ways in which we still fall short, and it sometimes feels like we’re getting worse. In reality, though, our sin is contrasting with the cleansing work of God in our lives, becoming more and more out of place, thus more conspicuous.
Part of Christian maturity means that the more God works in our lives, the more aware we will be of the sin that lingers. Rather than causing despair, the presence of sin should point us to our Savior. Like Paul wrote near the end of his life, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost” (1 Timothy 1:15). As Paul grew in his relationship with God, he became more aware of his sin which caused an increased realization of his need for grace.
When I cleaned the windows on Friday, I had to alternate sides frequently because the greater cleanliness of one side exposed the remaining dirt on the other, and vice versa. I would have been foolish to think that the windows weren’t getting any cleaner just because the process was time consuming. In the same way, sanctification – the lifelong process of God, through His Word and His Spirit, making His people more like Jesus – is lengthy and grueling.
Even though we are dangerously prone to be more aware of what’s left to do than what God’s already done, we can be convinced that He is indeed at work. In those moments when our sin feels all too apparent, grace becomes more than a theological truism; it is our functional hope. When we’re at our ugliest, grace is at its most beautiful.
The greatness of salvation is appreciated deepest by those who are most aware of the gravity of their sin. In the famous words of John Newton, author of the beloved hymn “Amazing Grace”, “My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things: that I am a great sinner and that Christ is a great Savior.”

Thomas W. Shultz (Tucker*)
*This nick was the one used by his friends and opponents in the
pool playing world.
Born: April 25th, 1943
Died: May 12th, 2001
He had 23 years of Sobriety when he passed away.
He passed away from Pancreatic Cancer at the age of 59 years, 1 month and
He was Cremated May 16th, 2001.
A friend of his had built a scale model pool table of different
kinds of hard wood to house the ashes. Tom was given it before he died and was very pleased with the gift Joe gave him.
A Memorial Service was held on the lawn at our home on June 16th, 2001.
Pastor Elza Boldman officiated.
Tommy was very fond of Lucy, one of our friends in AA. He
thought of her as a daughter. She came to the service dressed in a little black dress, her hair up on top of her head;
with fresh cut garden flowers in her arms, just for me; because she thought Tommy would have liked that. I told
her at the time I knew he would have appreciated it. Since that time, our dear friend Lucy was killed in an unfortunate
car accident. So I think that she and Tommy are probably having meetings in heaven with other old-timers.
Tommy was the kind of person that would admit when he was wrong. He spent the last 23 years of
his life going to AA meetings because he did this. He had a God of his own understanding and became very spiritual during
those last years. He was always there to help the new guy. One thing that he firmly believed in was not letting
anyone use him or anyone else like a doormat just because they were recovering alcholics. He gave that God of his understanding
all the credit for his sobriety and tried to be the best he could be to the other people whether they were in the AA
Tommy helped me learn to enjoy life. Both the small and big events got attention from him.
He cared about people who seemed to have a hard time caring for themselves but he could spot a phoney a mile away. Every
day we woke up there was a new adventure. Even disappointments were an opportunity for Tom. He never let
them ruin his whole day. I once asked him; "What is your purpose in life?" "Darling, that's simple.
My purpose in life these days is to fix computers and see to it that the people I love, especially you, aren't sad and have
a good time."
|Evelyn, Tom, and Ruth at their wedding in 1998
"Time slips away no matter what you try to do...I am
fixing to tear up the rug as much as possible while I am still breathing with God's help."-Tom Shultz
And God Bless him ....He
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering
He knew that you had pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered..."Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
I shall always miss him but I know Tom is in a better place.
|Tommy at one of our favourite cafes.
Tom was a very loving and kind person; although a might
shy if he didn't know you. He made it a habit of stepping out and getting to know those to whom he took a real
liking. That is the way he got to know my sister Betty, Mom and my niece Mary. They were heartbroken when he passed
away as they really enjoyed being around the two of us. Tom made every occassion special. He was a blessing
to everyone who knew him well and great fun to spend time with. Tommy had a bright, engaging personality;
always ready with a joke or pool/life story. He knew how to make others feel comfortable in their skins. My
Tom was the genuine article! All his friends, family, and cats miss him dearly. Little Tonkerbell, our chocolate
Tonkinese died of a heart break within a month after Tom died. I miss Tommy a great deal. He will always
be remembered with fondness and love by all those who knew him.


Two Kinds Of Responses From God For Our Prayers.
God answers prayer and He often does answer all our prayers. Some of the greatest questions of our times especially during these time of pandemic is, why is there so much suffering in this world? If God is good why does he allow evil? Why don’t He answer our prayers?.These are some of the questions we often wrestle with and here are two responses which I would like to make,that would make sense in our suffering.
1.God answers our Prayer by changing the circumstance:
God always answers our Prayers through His direct intervention into the circumstance that are intended to harm us and He rescues us from such evil and makes a way to flee away before it could destroy us.His will for our lives are to bless us and to make us a blessing for others.Whatever seems to be catastrophic are not harder for God, where He is all knowing and the all powerful.He can do miracles through our hands.He gives us the wisdom to accomplish things when things are beyond our control.He makes us more than conquerors in Him and helps us along the way in our walk with Him by being with us. Thus when we call unto Him in the times of trouble, He answers and delivers us with quick answers.
2.He involves in changing us rather than changing our circumstance:
The second most important answer that we would receive from God is that His involvement in changing us, rather than changing our circumstance . Sometimes the problem for God to do miracle is not our circumstance but we ourselves.Those are the harder times where we fail to understand God, and we often wrestle with Him by questioning His existence. Any kind of answer that we receive from God is a blessing, whether it is Yes or No.God in His sovereign Wisdom does everything right in His time and it’s place.We can never find injustice in Him.God is so disciplined in His timeline.The pandemic that stuck our globe might make us think that God is unjust, but analysing the condition of the human lives will clearly reveal whether God is unjust or the man.God is not the reason for the suffering, rather it’s our failure to listen and obey His counsel.God never wants to bless us with something that takes us away from Him. Therefore it’s our responsibility to humble before God and to seek His counsel rather than listening to the grumble of this world.
It is better to trust in the Lord who gives us the hope to live in this world and it’s our responsibility to seek and listen to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ the author of our lives and the reason for our hope,who has enormously blessed us with the things that are above and let our eyes be fixed on Him in the race that we have ahead and to be victorious in our daily walk with Him.Amen.God bless you.

If you are a Senior Pastor, Lead Pastor, Campus Pastor, or Associate Pastor, I'd love for you to join me on July 30th for The Pastor's Roundtable in the Metropolitan Area. Being in ministry for over 25 years, I have learned some valuable lessons about leadership, balancing ministry and family, church planting, staffing, sermon preparation, and more. I'd like to personally share insight that has helped me become a better leader. We started Zion Church in February of 2000 with a Bible study of 25 attendees. Today, it has been a blessing that Zion Church reaches over 5,000 attendees weekly across 3 Campuses. Participation is limited to 12 attendees. This allows for an intimate setting where each Pastor's specific needs, questions, and challenges can be addressed. Spouses (clergy and non-clergy) are also welcome to attend.
The cost for each Participant is $100 and it will take place Wednesday, July 30th, 2014 from 9am - 12pm. We will meet at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden's Ministry Center located at 3600 Brightseat Road; Landover, MD, 20785. The registration cost is non-refundable, but is transferable (ie. if you are unable to attend, you may transfer your spot at the Roundtable to another Leader.) Remember, space is limited, so don't delay registering. I hope to see you there.

Roman Catholic Church of St Michael the Archangel
It was built in 1786 on the grounds of the old church from 1740, in baroque style, with recognizable elements of classicism. It has harmonious proportions with elongated single nave base with arched alter apse in the east side, whose northern part holds sacristy, and an impressive western front with the bell tower. Length 33 m, width 14 m, height 12 m, bell tower height 35 m. Clean and calm facade decorations, containing lesenes and shallow arches framing windows, and in harmony with light and spacious interior of the church, decorated with meticulously shaped furnishings and clean ornamental motifs. The paintings are baroque, put up in appropriate baroque frames and alters, with clear baroque characteristics. The following ones stand out: • St Michael the Archangel, oil on canvas 1.3 x 3 m, painted by Josephus Fransciscus Falkoner in 1792 • Pieta - The Mourning of Christ, oil on canvas 1.3 x 2.3 m, painted by Johan Georg Baader in 1794 • St Joseph, Jesus Christ and John the Baptist, oil on canvas, 1.1 x 2 m, painted by an unknown author, the end of the 18th century. • The Crucifixion of Christ, oil on canvas, 1 x 1 m, painted by an unknown author, the end of the 18th century. The pulpit belongs to baroque style, it is white with gold-plated relief scenes and carved ornaments. The baldachin is rich, with figures of angels and looks luxurious. A small baptistery is in baroque style.


Luke 16:19-31 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side. 24 He called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.’25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony. 26 Besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’ 27 He said, ‘Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—that he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.’ 30 He said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Back in 1983 Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy starred in a movie titled Trading Places. It’s been a few years, but maybe you remember the movie in which a snobbish rich man played by Dan Aykroyd gets switched with a street con artist played Eddie Murphy. They find themselves in the other’s shoes, trying to make sense of their differing situations. This proves especially difficult for Aykroyd’s character because he’s not used to having to deal with life on the streets. While his previous life had been relatively easy, now it was much more difficult! While the plotline for Trading Places doesn’t exactly parallel that of Lazarus and the Rich Man, there is in this parable a reversal of fortunes. In a real way they traded places.
In the parable, Jesus tells the story of a rich man who lived in the lap of luxury, and who couldn’t be bothered with the needs of those less fortunate than him. On the other hand, there is a poor man sitting at his gate. He’s hungry and he’s covered with sores. Everything about this life is opposite to the other. If only a few scraps from the rich man’s table could reach him, he might satisfy his hunger, at least for a moment. It’s at death that the reversal of fortunes comes (not the result of a bet on the part of a couple of bored millionaires). While the poor man ends up in the heavenly realm in the company of Father Abraham, the rich man ends up in Hades, where he is tormented by intense and constant fire. You can see where the idea of the fires of hell gets its biblical support. Whereas the poor man experienced torment in this life, in the next it was the rich man.
Most of us like to root for the underdog. So, when we hear this parable, we’re likely to side with Lazarus. It’s a good thing that he found the comfort in the next life that was never available to him in this life. As for the rich man, if you don’t think of yourself as being rich, then you may feel like this rich man got what he deserved. We middle class folk derive a certain satisfaction when the rich fall, even as we enjoy the opportunity to pity the poor. If you’re middle class, you can sit in between and feel as if the story isn’t about you, but is that true? For some of my compatriots, when it comes to taking care of the poor, that’s the responsibility of the rich. Tax them and take care of the poor. If we do that then the poor get taken care of, but my taxes will stay the same (or so I’d like to think). Besides, could it be that when Jesus envisions the rich man he had me in mind?
This parable follows after the parable of the dishonest steward (Luke 16:1-13). Both parables speak to some degree about the role of money and wealth and how we handle it responsibly. In the earlier passage Jesus warns against falling prey to the idol of wealth. You can’t serve God and mammon both. You’ll have to choose, and it’s not an easy choice. In this second parable the pursuit of wealth and luxury lands the rich man in Hades. The reason doesn’t appear to be the wealth itself, but the way the man lived his life. He simply ignored Lazarus. The needs of the poor were irrelevant to him. As I read the parable and thought about its implications, I began to wonder if the embrace of philanthropy on the part of many wealthy people results from having heard this parable? Who wants to end up in Hades? If you can forestall that with a little sharing, isn’t that a good thing?
What is interesting about this parable isn’t just the reversal of fortunes in the afterlife, but that Jesus also treats the characters differently. Did you notice that Luke gives the poor man a name (Lazarus), but fails to do the same for the rich man? I think this is intentional. It is worth pointing out that the name Luke chooses is also the name of the man Jesus raises from the dead in John 11. There are some interesting connections, but the Lazarus in John isn’t poor, or doesn’t appear to be. The rich man, on the other hand, the one who is dressed purple and fine linen, and gets to dine on a sumptuous feast every day while Lazarus lays outside his door, both hungry and sick (the neighborhood dogs come and lick his wounds), lacks a name. There are three primary characters. Two of them have names, but the rich man doesn’t. That’s another reversal of fortune, but since names are important, especially in the ancient world, tradition calls him Dives. Later interpreters may have felt sorry for him and figured if Lazarus had a name, then so should he. Jesus, however, didn’t think that was necessary!
Returning to the parable, Lazarus is situated by the side of Abraham, who in first century Judaism was considered the patron saint of hospitality. Lazarus now enjoys what was withheld from him in life. The rich man is very aware of his own torment, but interestingly enough now that he is in torment he finally acknowledges Lazarus. He even knows his name. He requests of Abraham, that Lazarus be sent to dip his finger in water and bring some relief to his torment. The sense of superiority that was present in life, remains present in death. Abraham, however, refuses to let this occur. Things are as they are.
The rich man, feeling some concern for his family, asks that Lazarus be sent to warn them (sort of like Jacob Marley is sent to warn Scrooge), so that they might repent. Abraham again refuses, suggesting that if they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets (the Scriptures), then why would they listen to the dead? This response raises an interesting question—is repentance possible for the wealthy? The answer should be yes, since we have other stories in Luke where the wealthy do repent (witness Zacchaeus).
Contextually the parable is a reminder of God’s choice to bless the poor, that God is on the side of the poor, which is a reversal of fortunes. If we consider ourselves followers of Jesus, then how does his own sense of calling as the one who brings good news to the poor define our own sense of calling (Lk 4:18)? If we desire to be on God’s side, shouldn’t we follow Jesus’ example and side with the poor? Indeed, what does this parable say to those of us living in middle-class America? If Abraham is the patron saint of hospitality, what might this parable say to us about how we share the Table? Do we invite everyone, or only those who are like us?

Testimonial by Dawn Kerns – When the Christian Flag Keepsake Box arrived, I was ecstatic to see how beautiful it was; even more beautiful than the picture. It was absolutely perfect for a very special gift I wanted to give my 27-year old nephew who was getting baptized in only two weeks. The engraving of his name and a message on the inside lid made it so personal, and it was done and arrived in time for the event. My nephew’s father passed away when he was 10 years old; they had been inseparable and I know how much he misses him. His father had given me and my husband a statuette of Mary and Jesus and I wanted to present it to him from his father on the day he was baptized. The box could not have been more perfect and when the lid was raised and he read the inscription inside the lid, it brought tears. Thank you so much for making the gift so very special and in such a short amount of time.


The Old Testament Is An Agreement Between
The above covenants were between two equal parts; This means that the alliance relationship was bilateral. The commitment was sealed by both parties, who often praised an oath that each, with the same privileges and responsibilities, would perform their assigned duties. Since an alliance between two human parties was bilateral, some scholars have come to the conclusion that Yahweh`s alliance with men is also bilateral. That is not the case. God initiated, determined the elements and confirmed his covenant with humanity. She`s biased. People are beneficiaries, not contributors; They are not expected to offer items for borrowing; they are called to accept it as offered, to keep it as required and to receive the results that God has assured by the oath, will not be retained. According to Weinfeld, the Abrahamic Alliance is an attribution alliance that binds the Overlord. It is the Master`s duty to his servant and it contains gifts to people loyal to the service of their masters. In the covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15, it is God, who is the mayor, who commits himself and who swears to keep the promise. At the federal level, there are procedures for the oath that include a smoke oven and a lit torch.
There are many similarities between Genesis 15 and the Abba-El act. In Genesis 15 and similar in the fig. Abba-El is the higher party that goes under oath. The oaths in both cases involve a situation where the losing party delivers the animals, while the upper part takes the oath. The ancient covenant was a solemn agreement between God and the Jewish Partiarchabraham (see Genesis 17:1-14). In this covenant, God promised to bless the descendants of Abraham and to be their God and protector when they arrived in the land of Canaan. In return, the Jews promised to be faithful to God and not worship other gods. As a sign of the United, all Jewish males should be circumcised. Testament is an old English word meaning «alliance» or «agreement between two parties.» It was derived from the Latin will. This term was used to translate the Greek and Hebrew words for the covenant; Hebrew and diatheque in Greek.
This is why the old and new covenants have become the Old and New Testaments. This is the old meaning of the term. In the Christian context, this new covenant is associated with the word «will» in the sense of a «will after the death of a person», with instructions for the inheritance of property (Latin testamentum) of the original Greek word, used in the Scriptures, in the diatheque (, which, in the Greek context, means only «wants (after death)» and never practically «alliance». Alliance.»  This fact implies a reinterpreted vision of the Old Testament Covenant as a «will after death» qualifying in Christian theology and has attracted the attention of biblical scholars and theologians.  Reason is related to the translation of the Hebrew word for the covenant, brit () in the Septuagint: see «Why the Testament Word» in the New Testament article. Noah`s Covenant [Gen 9:1-17] applies to all humanity and all other living beings.  In this covenant with all living beings, God promises never to destroy all life on earth again by the flood[9:11] and creates the rainbow as a sign of this «eternal covenant between God and every living creature of every flesh that is on earth.» [9:12–17] Christians see Jesus as the mediator of this new covenant, and that his blood shed at his crucifixion is the necessary blood of the covenant: as in all the covenants between God and man described in the Bible, the New Covenant is considered «a bond in the blood that is sovereignly managed by God.»  It has been theorized that the New Covenant is the Law of Christ, as was said in his Sermon on the Mountain.  Bible students have totally different opinions about the number of great covenants that exist (or existed) between God and humanity, the number ranging from one to twelve at least.

This week we continue to reflect on Bill Hybels’ hard-fought leadership lesson that
PEOPLE JOIN ORGANISATIONS & LEAVE MANAGERS – PART II
Employees cannot continue to work long term in a negative culture where high visionary leaders make them feel like an unappreciated, expendable “number”. There comes a time when people leave managers regardless of the greatness of the vision for the organisation.
Today we will take a brief look at how God views people and how to positively change the culture of an organisation.
God is running an organisation called the Kingdom of Heaven right here on earth. His Son Jesus came to the earth as the Chief Executive Officer to start laying the foundation of His organisation. Jesus selection and recruitment programme failed all the modern norms. He chose a bunch of unqualified people and set about changing the culture. How did he do that? He demonstrated that the cared more for the people and was more concerned about getting a relational culture established than in fast tracking the vision. He used the vision to draw his team into relationship. When his managers messed up by preventing visiting parents from bringing their little children to Him, He told them, My organisation belongs to these little ones, bring them to me (Lu 18:15-17). When members of the community did not buy into His organisational vision and some of his managers wanted to destroy what they considered the competition, He rebuked them severely, made it clear that their culture needs changing and drew them back into relationship by explaining the vision once more (Lu 9:52-56).
- Do you know the names of the spouses and children of your employees?
- Do you use misunderstandings to draw people back into relationship?
- Do you write people off because they still do not understand every facet of your vision for the organisation?
In the next post, we will continue to explore how you and your executive team can fix the culture of your organisation.

Another one of the pioneers in my family is my great-grandpa, Chester Laverne McBride. Grandpa Chet was born May 14, 1917 in Minnesota. Married in 1940 to Juanita Monte Lewis, they had one daughter, my grandma Nita. Grandpa Chet played the trumpet in bands at the clubs, and always had such a lively spirit.
Grandpa Chet is someone who followed his heart when he knew what was right. About 10 years ago, my grandparents moved to Utah and brought Grandpa Chet and Grandma Juanita with them. After moving to Utah, Grandpa Chet starting taking the missionary discussions and decided to join the LDS Church. He was baptized on May 14, 2004, which was his 87th birthday. He faithfully attended church every week in his bolo ties, and went through the temple a year after he was baptized. It is amazing that even though he had lived a long time, he still was willing to change and improve his life.
Grandpa Chet died in 2008, about 4 years after Grandma Juanita. He had a lively spirit and was happy, even when life got hard. I miss Grandpa, and I am glad I will see him again one day.

16th May 2015
All Saints church was packed to the rafters on Thursday for the service dedicating the refurbished World War 1 war memorial, thanks in part to the 53 children from KS2 who had given up many of their lunch times to rehearse a medley of songs to present to the congregation.
‘It’s a Long Way to Tipperary’ and ‘Pack up Your Troubles in your old Kit Bag’ were blended perfectly together in an arrangement by Mrs Casey, followed by a nod to the famous Christmas Day No Man’s Land truce with a solo verse of ‘Stille Nacht’ by Hannah Mitchell before the rest of the choir joined in with the English lyrics of ‘Silent Night’.
It was a moving service of remembrance and the children were perfectly behaved, polite and respectful throughout, even when they were a little cold and wet waiting for the official unveiling. They were a true credit to the school and all of the staff accompanying them felt very proud of our ambassadors.
Parishioners of Middleton Cheney had raised the money to erect the memorial following the war and later generations worked hard to raise the money for the refurbishment. MCPA children and parents played their part with the amazing MC Bake Off back in November raising over £420 towards the fund so the children were very pleased to see the results of their hard work (check back at the blog for a reminder of the amazing array of cakes!).
On previous village history walks, classes of children have tried hard to read the writing on the memorial so it is wonderful to see the names of the village fallen clearly legible again, especially as so many of the family names are still well known in the village today. It is also a very special feeling to know that children from the village school were involved in the unveiling of the original memorial and generations later were again involved in its restoration and rededication.

them, as prescribed by St Luke, to love God with all their hearts, souls,
strengths and minds; and love their neighbours as they would to
themselves", that is the word of President Akufo-Addo at the dedication of
the Tema Children’s Church of the Apostolic Church-Ghana, Community 5 District,
in Tema, Accra.
He said "The Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 18, verse 6, tells us, again, that ‘if anyone causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck, and to be drowned in the depths of the sea’”.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo reminded Christians of the responsibility of imbibing into the children, the virtues of Christ and instils in them the beliefs of their Churches.
He told members of the congregation that “you should be fulfilled in the knowledge that you are obeying the teachings of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For, if you welcome any child into these premises, you have welcomed Christ, Himself, here.”
The President appealed to the congregation to pray for him, his Government and his appointees to exercise their responsibilities with humility and integrity, and pray for Ghana, that she remains united and continues to strive for progress, prosperity and the embrace of God.

If you understand even a glimpse of the grace you have been given, grace should be easy to give. It’s easy to forget and take for granted, but He reminds us that because He has forgiven us, we are to forgive... Not once, not twice, but 70x7 times.
You have been shown love, mercy, and grace upon grace, now you have been asked to show it to others. Let your response be “yes” over and over again.

The Centurion and His Lance
Longinus, is a legendary name of Christian history given in medieval and some modern Christian traditions to the Roman soldier who pierced Christ’s side with a lance, the “Holy Lance” during the Crucifixion. This act created the last of the Five Holy Wounds of Christ.
Whoever Possesses It Will Rule the World
The Syrian city of Antioch almost proved the undoing of the first Crusade. After having struggled through Asia Minor, the Knights became bogged down in protracted siege of the city. Once they had captured it, they faced serious Muslim resistance. The finding of the Holy Lance which had pierced the side of the Christ, in June 1098, led to a revival of morale. Even after the Heathen was repulsed, it took until November 1098, before the final push for Jerusalem could be made.
The Spear is Lost
From the moment the Spear of Antioch, the spear of Longinus, was found until the moment it disappeared from history after the battle of Ascalon, it was the rallying point of the First Crusade in the hands of Raymond of Toulouse. Raymond used the spear to lead the Crusaders out of the city of Antioch to victory against a much greater army.
Escape to Antioch
Now lying substantially buried beneath the rubble of countless earthquakes and ancient conflicts near the modern city of Antakya, Turkey, ancient Antioch was, at the time of Christ, the third most important city of the Roman Empire. Founded in 300 BC, it served as capital of the Seleucid Empire until, in 64 BC, it was annexed to the Roman Republic by Pompey.

Being a mother of five daughters and many spiritual ones too, made me realise the need for our Mothers and Child/ren workshops. There are just too many unsaid or unexplained events that take place, leaving everyone to make their own assumptions, which in the end causes broken relationships. So being a mother, I am not suggesting that there is a lack of initiative and ability, nor does it mean getting our priorities straight. This does not mean that the men are set free from all responsibility. What I am saying is that it’s about sharing responsibility and mostly recognizing the various gifts. In these workshops we facilitate restoration and eradicate all the misunderstandings between a mother and her child/ren.
Young Souls of Substance
The energy among our young souls of substance is amazing, we encourage creativity especially in the Arts where these young souls get to be true to themselves. Annual conferences and regular workshops and equipping are what drives these souls to experience joy mostly through evangelism through productions.
Couples of Destiny
The family is the foundation of society. A successful marriage brings joy to the extended family and the community—but marriage can also bring challenging problems. How can you improve your marriage? We need to strengthen our families and our marriages. The stability and health of the nation is greatly dependent on the stability and health of the family. Through our couples encounter, date night and marriage conference we encourage, equip and strengthen relationships.
BBN – Breakthrough Business Network
BBN started with a growing need to gather businesses and network with those who wish to seek opportunities for growth by hosting seminars and workshops for entrepreneurs alike.
Calvin and Terri Hannie first opened the Business Breakthrough Network with a breakfast seminar, addressing the importance of better understanding of how the network and other opportunities for businesses will continue through these gatherings.
We encouraged everyone to maintain relationships, so people can be acquainted with the services and products they produce. You may think your business is small today, but you could be a big company tomorrow!
The need to create job opportunities is always on the table so we are here to help you seek opportunities for growth in your businesses.

Just on a more personal note, as Women of Substance SA partners and ambassadors, we need to understand our role OUTSIDE of the team or even the committee is Just as important as that of WITHIN.

Be all the man/woman God intended you to be.
Each one coming into our events is God’s hidden treasures and treated as such. Whatever we do, whatever we portray, others need to look in and say “I want to be a part of that” My view is that we are a support structure for those in need and that they must WANT to come to every event because our focus is on THEM, reaching their full potential in Christ and not on ourselves. We are not in a popularity contest but the win the lost and advance His Kingdom.

If I were to create a list of people and things I consider to be my nemeses, blue cheese would fall somewhere around number fifty.
But it was Christmas day eve. Dinner was late to the table, and I was hungry. So the blue cheese ultimately won this round with its surprise presence and my need to consume something in order to silence the rumbling thunder that was emanating from my stomach region.
Christmas, as a whole, had been enjoyable but relatively uneventful.
During the Christmas eve service, my brother and I whispered back and forth to each other.
The minister called all of the young children to the front of the church to explain to them the significance of Christmas presents. "We give gifts as a reminder of the gifts of the three magi. They are in celebration of Jesus's birthday," she said.
I leaned into my brother and said, "Actually, that is only partially true. Yes, the gifts are meant as a reference to the magi, but they are not in celebration of Christ's birthday. They are in celebration of Christ's birth in general. He would have been well over a year old by the time the magi reached him. Evidence suggests that Christ was born in the summer or early fall, so handing out birthday presents for Jesus in December and calling it 'Christmas' is a misnomer."
"You should stop the minister right now and correct her," my brother said.
"Don't worry, I will," I said.
My sister refused to attend the Christmas eve service. In fact, she refused to follow through with many long established Christmas traditions held by my family - my favourite being the one where she sleeps with one of the neighbour's sons on Christmas eve and my father has to use all of his problem solving skills to determine which house on our street he should call on Christmas day in order to summon her home to open presents around the tree. So she is in a relationship. Big deal. That is no reason to end what we all consider to be, arguably, the most entertaining aspect of the holiday.
And now, with the holidays over, it is time to dress my dog up in the Santa suit my father purchased. Sure, he cannot wear the pants (they are much too large), but I am sure he will look handsome in the coat, beard and hat. Humiliated... but handsome.


17 Feb Glasgow Cathedral
The City Apartments are only 5 minutes away from this historic Glasgow landmark just 10 minutes walk from the city centre. This amazing peice of history was built circa 1136 making it around 884 years old!
Glasgow Cathedral, also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Kentigern’s or St Mungo’s Cathedral, is the oldest cathedral on mainland Scotland and is the oldest building in Glasgow. One of Scotland’s most magnificent medieval buildings, Glasgow Cathedral is the only one on the mainland to survive the Reformation of 1560 intact.
Glasgow Cathedral is built on the site where St Kentigern, or Mungo, is thought to have been buried in AD 612. The crypt within the Cathedral was constructed in the mid-1200s to house the tomb of St Kentigern. St Kentigern was the first bishop within the ancient British kingdom of Strathclyde, and the present cathedral was built during the 13th – 15th centuries.
Other connections run through the cathedral’s history: one of Scotland’s most famous literary sons, Sir Walter Scott, refers to the kirk (Scottish for church) in his novel, Rob Roy. And no visitor should leave without gazing up at the breathtaking white ceiling in the Blackadder Aisle which was built around 1500 by Archbishop Blackadder – no relation to a certain famous TV character!
If you have time, pop next door to the award-winning St Mungo Museum of Religious Life & Art, named after the patron saint. It’s a haven of tranquillity in the bustling city. Or take a walk through the neighbouring Glasgow Necropolis, one of the most significant cemetaries in Europe and an exceptional display of Victorian Glasgow. Adjacent to the Cathedral, the Necropolis was modeled on Père-Lachaise in Paris. It is estimated that something in the order of 50,000 burials have taken place here, with around 3,500 tombs.
Glasgow has such rich roots and you can see/feel the history of the city in such a small radius surrounding this beautiful cathedral. Even the streetlights around the area have the seal of glasgow on them which was designed by St Mungo. The city’s seal has the bird that never flew, the tree that never grew, the bell that never rang, the fish that never swam. From the legend of St Mungo.

My name is Beth. I worked for the Methodist Church in Britain but retired due to ill health in Autumn 2018. I have Lupus, an autoimmune disease that makes me tired, achy, feverish, and not very good at thinking straight.
I began working as an ordained minister for the church in Britain after a career as a Registered Nurse in the USA. I specialised in maternal-infant care and along with bedside nursing, I taught classes on sibling preparation, breastfeeding, and newborn care. I spent the last 5 years of my nursing career as a International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, working exclusively with mums and babies who were struggling to breastfeed.
I began to feel a pull towards ministry when I had been attending a church for a few years. I didn’t go to church as a child, but started in my mid-twenties. What I learned about God and the Christian faith helped me to understand that I – that everyone, actually – have a unique role to play in making this world a better place.
While I was able to make life better for some as a nurse, I became aware that there was a much bigger world out there for me to engage with. So I left nursing and began a course of Theological study and discernment. This led to my ordination as a minister.
I have led churches in rural and small town settings, preparing and leading worship services and bible studies, visiting people in hospital and at home, and all the admin that goes with church life.
What I really wanted to do was teach and lead retreats. I was able to do some of this as a minister but not nearly as much as I would have liked. I do wonder if I might be able to set up a business of leading retreats themed around spiritual growth and development.
I am second-time married, and have two adult children from my first marriage.
I love the created world and all its inhabitants. I am as happy to sit and stare into our pond as I am do to anything else. I have kept chickens for the last six years. Each day with them brings insight into both chicken and human behaviour. I often wonder, in Christian terms, if we a not more like chicken than sheep.
I am hoping to get my own honeybees. I have taken two beginners beekeeping courses, but just haven’t been able to get started with the practical side. So, for now the blogs are more about ‘light’ than ‘sweetness’ … but that may change over time.

I discovered this recently at a brain-cutting lesson given by Jean-Paul Vonsattel, a neuropathologist at Columbia University. On the day I visited, there were half a dozen brains sitting on a table. Vonsattel began by passing them around so the medical students could take a closer look.
One broad argument is that the apostle Paul is the real founder of Christianity. Under this broad argument falls the claim that the Bible shows the teaching of St Paul to be quite different to the teaching of Jesus.
This article intends to respond to this claim by listing similarities between the Lord Jesus Christ and St Paul. The similarities listed are taken from the Biblical accounts of Jesus and Paul.
The Gospels are the main source for Jesus' life, words and actions. There are also some words and action of Jesus in the Acts of the Apostles and the book of Revelation. The life, words and actions of Paul are found in the Acts of the Apostles and his letters Romans through to Philemon.
The similarities presented include similarities in words, actions, life, and Similarities between. He said to them, "But who do you say that I am? And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven".
Paul was occupied with proclaiming the word, testifying to the Jews that the Messiah was Jesus. All of them asked, "Are you, then, the Son of God? Then they said, "What further testimony do we need? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips! Immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God".
You call me Teacher and Lord - and you are right, for that is what I am.
Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God! Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe". From them, according to the flesh, comes the Messiah, who is over all, God blessed forever. Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did, but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God".
There is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human. The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus.
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High Luke 1: When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman. I cam from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own, but he sent me.
For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: I am the way, and the truth, and the life.Although both men studied the same subject, their theories contained more differences than similarities. Piaget's research emphasized "nature," or innate capabilities, while Vygotsky's theories revolved around "nurture," or the connection between environment and development.
