Hail Mary: the Angel's Candle
Thou angel of God who hast charge
From the dear Father of mercifulness,
The shepherding kind of the fold of the saints
To make round about me this night;
Drive from me every temptation and danger,
Surround me on the sea of unrighteousness,
And in the narrows, crooks, and straits,
Keep thou my coracle, keep it always.
Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me,
Be thou a smooth path below me,
And be a kindly shepherd behind me,
To-day, to-night, and for ever.
I am tired and I a stranger,
Lead thou me to the land of angels;
For me it is time to go home
To the court of Christ, to the peace of heaven.
- Oral tradition ancient prayer - Carmina Gadelica
As I prepared to light the angel’s candle this last Sunday of Advent, I opened my copy of the Carmina Gadelica, which is a wonderful collection of ancient prayers and incantations gathered in the Scottish Highlands, by Alexander Carmichael in the 19th century. I also began researching what the mystics had to say about angels, and found that the Rhineland mystics are a fun study. Then I began to read Thomas Aquinas’ writings on angels and ended up traveling down a fantastic youtube rabbit hole with Rupert Sheldrake and Matthew Fox, watching the interviews they did for their book The Physics of Angels.
Whenever I hear fully grown people, astute in their fields, speaking with such candor on a topic that is somewhat “out there”, I feel better about the places I go in my hopes and imagination. (I blame it on Madeleine L'Engle, George MacDonalad, C.S. Lewis and Tolkien.)
Seeing angels as “intelligences that help to steer evolution”? Comparing Thomas Aquinas’ language about angels to today’s quantum mechanics? They can seriously sit there and talk about this stuff and see it as something more than worth talking about. Plus, they have a pretty major historical grasp on the roots of materialism, and how quickly the heretic can become one who doesn’t quite buy the whole of the heresy. And they are still willing to play fools, in such a way that draws me in to why they would place their attention there.
As I got further into it, I recognized the fact that all of these biblical texts about angels are “out there” too. But somehow… at least within the walls of the tradition, they’re taken as commonplace, with the kind of apathy found in Sunday school rooms where children craft all their angels with white paper plates and yellow yarn. Somewhere along the line, someone squeezed the juice out of the text years ago, and all that sticky, juiciness is laying there dried up at the bottom of a waste basket in a church basement.
So then I did this deep dive to discover, to really observe, how many times angels show up in connection to Jesus - and of course, I recognized each instance - but I'd never really actually noticed before.
It is an angel who visits Mary to tell her about baby Jesus.
It is an angel who appears to Joseph, her betrothed, in a dream.
The angels and the heavenly hosts unleash their celebration of conscious incarnation at the birth of Jesus. And the shepherds get it.
An angel appears in a dream to warn the Holy Family to seek refuge in Egypt.
After the intensity of Jesus’ temptation in the desert, angels come to minister to him.
In the garden of Gethsemane, an angel appears to strengthen Jesus.
Then, in the Matthew account, Jesus says “do you not think that I cannot now appeal to My Father, and He will at once send me more than 12 legions of angels?”
An angel rolls back the stone from the tomb.
An angel appears to Mary Magdalene, and then Jesus appears to her, making her the first apostle.
And then there are angels present at the ascension of Jesus.
For me, maybe it’s because that Sunday School crafting apathy set in long ago. Or maybe it is because in many of the protestant spaces in my past, to suggest we commune with angels or consider their presence, was seen as somehow a threat to God. (The same goes for asking the Saints to pray for us.)
But all that to say... I am grateful to be lighting the Angel’s Candle with a freshly arrived “second naïveté” about angels.
For me, as a songwriter, what shows up in the end, is a result of research, of opening, and of writing and singing from a place that has "gone the distance", so to speak. Even if the result is incredibly simple, it is simple often because I got complicated along the way.
For instance, when I listened to Rupert Sheldrake and Matthew Fox speak about Aquinas asking how fast an angel travels, and then comparing it to asking the same question about light in quantum mechanics, I also began to see what Aquinas was getting at when he said angels were in a timeless realm.
So the lyric "her heart beat in time with my wings" implies, at the quantum level, that Mary's longing to bear forth the Divine was a timeless longing, beating in time with the angel's wings… or we could say, her heart beat in time with the "intelligences guiding evolution".
Her heart beat in time with my wings
Her heart beat in time with my wings
Hail Mary, full of Grace,
The Lord is with you.
May our angels protect us, and guide us, as we enter into the days of Christmas. I welcome their presence in my life, and in my work, and I welcome them to keep watch over my home, and to touch the soil that I long to bring to fuller life. Amen.

Thank you for this and all the other songs you have graced us with. They lull me into the quiet space where I hope to meet the Divine Presence where time ceases.

Thank you for such a song and rumination that rehydrates the depth and richness of angels from being "dried up in the bottom of a trash can in the church basement". I hope you are considering putting your Sunday songs on a CD for purchase, listening to them is a meditation of the soul. Thank you Alana.
12/23/2018 12:00:29 pm
Alana, you have touched a chord in my heart with all the Advent songs. I love the depths in me, to which your music takes me. It helps me to focus better on Our Lord. I too have some protestant background and feel I can relate to your thoughts on Angels. God Bless you, have a happy and holy Christmas and again, thank you.
12/24/2018 03:22:22 am
Alana, your ‘simple’ and profound song opened my heart to Mary’s experience more than anything I have ever encountered, I thank you for this beautiful experience. Blessings to you and yours during this most wondrous season.Heather

Harris Chapel Cemetery
"This area of Cass county was settled in the 1850s. The rural community became known as Harris Chapel after John T. Harris and his family came to the area in 1853 and purchased land on which a Methodist log church and cemetery were located. The church building was also used as a school house for area
children. The first log church was replaced by a larger wooden structure near the cemetery in 1859. The Rev. Solomon O'Dell preached the first sermon in the new church.
"Although there are many unmarked graves in the Harris Chapel Cemetery some of which may date from an earlier period, the oldest legible tombstone marks the grave of Zelpha E. Conley (1839-1859). In 1868 M. G. Harris, son of John T. Harris, deeded the church and cemetery property to the community. ‘
Harris family graves are enclosed by a wrought iron fence. The second church was destroyed by a tornado in 1949 and was replaced by a brick structure in 1953. Mr. Harris' daughter, Mrs. Johnny Williams is suppose to be 1st person buried here, unmarked grave.
"ln addition to the graves of many early pioneers, those interred here include veterans of the Mexican War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II and Korea. The historical Harris Chapel Cemetery serves as a reminder of early rural life in Cass County."
This is an active cemetery.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind.” Luke 10:27


It’s funny; promises are made and so often easily forgotten, broken, delayed, or denied. I promise to.... and I promise to.... and I promise.... it so easily comes off the tongue and flows into the ears of others. IN THE MOMENT, our hearts are in agreement with our head, or sometimes it’s our Head talking, and we make a declaration that often gets tested by the trials that we face. It’s only then that we see just how much strength we have to persevere and how much faith we have in the ability to fulfill the promise. Recently there have been a lot of things, events, and promises that have surfaced and really challenged me to persevere (James 1:2-12) past my situation and move into what I knew God had promised me to. In the past 2-3 months things had taken a really difficult turn for me and had caused me to be in "the pit" of my feelings, resources, and faith, yet as I was tried, I drew closer to Christ in those times and I not only sit to "be real" with Him and share how I feel but I was challenged to continue to sit LISTEN, to OBEY GOD and experience BREAKTHROUGH ( great book: B.L.O.G. to Marriage by Candace and Tommy Claiborn IV http://www.nextag.com/B-l-o-g-736302882/prices-html though it says "marriage" it’s such a great book for breakthrough by listening and obeying God in every area of life).
In that time spent with Christ, I began to learn more about myself, my purpose, the purpose of my test and trials, and even the effect it has on others. It was revealed in my "real moments with Christ" that I heard so clearly "IT AIN'T ABOUT YOU GIRL" So often we think that "I am the only one going through THIS type of test, and THIS is happening to ME, and YOU just don't understand" and in those statements "we" focus more on ourselves and neglect others and our purpose, because as my pastor (Donnell Jones at Grace Covenant Church DC www.gracecovdc.org) has said in the recent series, you are experiencing a situation that is in violation of the expectation of your destination based off of the declaration from God about your life (Yea I know real Jessie Jackson rhymeish, but you get the picture!) When I realized this, it shifted my focus, to no longer be on whatever situation I was facing, where I lacked, or what I (selfishly) desired, but more so on the hearts and needs of others, and on doing the work of God. As my focus shifted to others and not myself, I began to see that everything for me fell into place and worked itself out, minus my ATTEMPTED help and control. I shared with a friend recently, as they are currently going through what I am walking out of, was this, what kept me going to persevere, and what encouraged my faith was being reminded of God's promise and my "REMEMBER WHEN" moments. Those remember when moments are points and time in your life where you were promised something, and when things didn't look like the promise and even took another turn, but sometime after began to change and come to pass, that deliverance, victory, provision, fulfillment was simply God's kept promise, which is always kept.
And I came to realize (through a small statement from Kirk Franklin) that "Your [Christ] delay is NOT A DENIAL ... I realize ....YOUR MAKING ME STRONGER NOW" and that these trials are only so that I can become stronger, and that my faith and character would grow and much more would be produced in my life, so that perseverance would be mature and work its complete work so that I would lack nothing for the season and opportunity I am about to step into. When I was in those places of being in my feelings and in the pit, I had to realized that God promised me so much more than what I have, what I can see right now, and much more past the negative things that were being said at the moment, so I had to remind God of what He promised me, and in that I simply was reminding myself and encouraging myself to believe in the declaration and that I will not sit back and sulk, or wait on it to happen without doing anything else, but I would be active with my faith. With others in the bible and in life, I’ve seen how they were who they were and they had lives and at some point God made a declaration to them and their life that promised more, and when the moment was over, they went back to their lives and later experienced trials that tested that promise and their faith in the promise of God. Just like them so have I.
One thing that amazes me, that I realized through last week’s message, was that God promised Abraham and Sarah a son, and it was 24 years later and they still did not see the effects of God’s promise, but when God visited him, he served and worshiped him, and did not question, harass, or challenge God saying “what happened to …….. that you promised” but he served him and worshiped Him as he did, and God remembered that promise and blessed them with the son. Now I had to ask myself, Phi….if this were you, what would you have done …… still served but in the back of my head wondered and might have tried to bring it up in the conversation…. Lord so …. Remember you said ….. uhhh is that going to happen anytime, not that I’m rushing you, but I just wanted to know so I can prepared ….. That’s typically the response, even when a friend, family, job, etc makes a promise we EXPECT it to happen and come IMMEDIATELY, and when it doesn’t its like ….. man you lied, well forget it, or then there is a breach in trust and faith in that person’s ability to uphold their promise and word, and God is nothing like that, He said it, He will do it, but in and at the appropriate time, to so my “EAGERNESS to be prepared, He simply responded…NO CHILD … YOU HAVE BEEN BEING PREPARED DURING YOUR PERIOD OF WAITING, WHILE YOU WERE FOCUDED ON ME, I WAS PRODUCING SOMETHING MORE IN YOU TO BE ALBE TO SUSTAIN, MANAGE, AND KEEP WHAT IS PROMISED TO YOU!
So no I am not God, in the fact that I will break a promise, let you down, fall short, be a little late on fulfilling it, but yet and still I will strive, to keep the promise that I made. Yes it gets hard, no I don’t want to, yes I will WANT to give up, but THIS race is NOT GIVEN [its earned] to the swift or the strong, but to those that endure [persevere] until the end. So to encourage everyone, who reads whether you are doing this weight loss, financial breakthrough, spiritual increase, emotional and mental renewing, "be encouraged" that "trouble don't last always" [two of my favorite old school songs], and that we are in this together and as we run THIS race, let us remember that perseverance must become mature and complete, so that we lack nothing and in the end will wear the crown of LIFE!
Physically: I lost a total of 13lbs, and then gained 7lbs back, on the grind again, to continue and stay encouraged, the gym is a beast! Mon/Wed - Water Aerobics, Tues/Fri regular workout/weights, Thurs Zumba!
Financially: I do not have a job Cletis! But things are being taken care of I am doing odd jobs and all but I am still actively looking and finding parttime work that allows for me to take care of things.
Spiritually: I am on a HIGH that I don't want to come down from. My prayer has been to listen more and become more sensitive to God's call and prompting so that I respond promptly (with alacrity), because I know that its "NOT ABOUT ME" and that my responding is at the life and stake of someone else's blessing, confirmation, and breakthrough. Pleasing HIM is what's most important to me, and is all that matters.
Emotionally/Mentally: I thought I was going to lose my mind (figuratively speaking) but I took a little break and got away cleared my mind (as much as I could) and now I'm back. Sometimes you have to be renewed, rest and take a break in order for you to be as productive as you need to be for yourself and those around you.

Plaindealer, January 20th, 1899
Another of my finds and a wormhole. The CME church that Chiles' is talking about in this piece was Lane's Chapel at 14th and VanBuren. I do not know where this was located between approx. the turn of the century but in the 1970's it moved to 16th and Harrison and was there until the 1980's. (Topeka Capital Journal, October 27th, 2013 " The old building, which was built in 1920, was home to the former Trinity Methodist Church through the mid-1960s. It then was taken over by Lane Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal Church through the 1970s and into the early 1980s.")At that time it appears to have moved (merged??) to 12th and Lane. The stone church at 12th and Lane is another of my favorite buildings in town.
I posted pictures and I have no idea why one picture is so much larger than the other but you get the idea. Anyhow, this post is to earmark this to look into more later. And FYI, this church should definitely be on the National Register.
Here is a picture of the church where Lane's Chappel was during the 1970s/80..
Lane's Chappel as it is today at the corner of 12th and Lane.

So the Pope walks into a bar...
YAOUNDE, March 17 (Reuters) - Pope Benedict on Tuesday reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to the use of condoms in the fight against AIDS as he started a visit to Africa, where more than 25 million people have died from the disease in recent decades.
The Pope, who arrived to a tumultuous welcome in the capital of Cameroon, also said the continent's people were suffering disproportionately due to the global challenges of food shortages, financial crises and climate change.
"It (AIDS) cannot be overcome by the distribution of condoms. On the contrary, they increase the problem," he said in response to a question about the Church's widely contested position against the use of condoms.


word = the articulate subject-matter of what is said. By discovering an infallible remedy for the disorders of his nature -- the salvation that is by Jesus Christ. It stands as the giant among the Psalms--it is the longest psalm and the longest chapter in the Bible--176 verses. Instead of question and answer both in this one verse, the Hebrew demands the construction with question only, leaving the answer to be inferred from the drift of the entire Psalm -- thus: Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way to keep it according to thy word? Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Psalms 119:9-11. The inquiry is -- How shall a young man make a clean way -- a pure line of conduct -- through this defiling world? We can sin without thought, we have only to neglect the great salvation and ruin our souls; but to obey the Lord and walk uprightly will need all our heart and soul and mind. Sufficiency of energy for the cleansing their way. And the answer, in referring to Christ the uncreated word, and to the scriptures of Christ the written word, plainly manifests its reference to be universal. Let him hear what follows; the description is from God. II. Verse 9. See Psalms 73:13. Your way is a way of hope. Have I hid, in the 11th verse, signifies, treasured up, like something of inestimable value: it may be read, Have I laid up within, &c. The question here put, and with which this second part opens, is not simply intended for the youthful part, but for all. The remedy is the word; by way of address to God, called "Thy word"; because, if God had not given direction about it, we should have been at an utter loss. Perhaps, on the contrary, it is one who, like Browningâs Rabbi ben Ezra, while seeking how best to spend old age, looks back on youth, not with remonstrance at its follies, but with the satisfaction that even then he aimed at the best he knew. ], [There is not a precept in the whole inspired volume which is not made also the subject of a promise.

Non Drama 2001/2007 English Standard Version Audio Non-Drama:


I remember hearing a while back about some parents who decided that because their children had broken a family heirloom and lied about it, they would be cancelling Christmas for all 3 of their children. While I do believe it is appropriate to discipline our children for not telling the truth I believe these parents missed an incredible opportunity to teach their children what Christmas is actually about.
When God sent his son Jesus as the once and for all gift for us, he didn’t exclude anyone based on behavior. The point of giving gifts on Christmas is (or should be) to bless others in a fraction of the way that we have been blessed by the gift of Jesus. Cancelling Christmas may sound like a good idea to teach our kids a lesson (and what parent hasn’t been tempted to do so) but I don’t believe it communicates grace in the way that God communicates grace to us.
The reality is that our kids never earned any of the gifts we got them in the first place, just like we didn’t earn any of the things that God has blessed us with. Naturally we don’t want to be dealing in cheap grace devoid of any repentance on the part of our children, but there are other ways in which to teach and discipline.
As a parent I know that these parents were only doing what they thought was best but what I also know is that they were reacting more out of hurt and betrayal. Our children will sin, and will sin against us and we must show them a savior who is willing, ready and able to forgive us and then gives us more than we deserve, not because we are good but because He is.

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says: Rejoice with me. I have found my lost sheep.”
This parable is found in the Bible in Luke 15:4. It clearly shows how God cares about every single person. He does not say, “Oh, I still have 99 sheep left. Who cares about the one sheep that got lost.” No, He goes after that one sheep because it’s important to Him. He even leaves the flock behind for a while, just to save the one.
Many people in the world are in trouble, and hardly anyone cares about them. They are on their own. They are lost and broken, outcasts even. We have a heart for these people. God cares about them. We care about them.
Teenage girls and women are especially vulnerable. Often they are misled by people who say they care (like loverboys), but lead them into abusive situations, like human trafficking or forced prostitution.
Our vision is to prevent situations like these by reaching out to kids and teenagers to warn them about these dangers.
Our vision is also to go into dark places, like brothels, to reach out to women who are being abused there and show them that they are loved, that we care, that there is a way out, that there is hope.
And finally, our vision is that once people are set free, they get to leave the past behind and live a new life in peace and freedom.
Our hearts beat as one with God’s heart for the lost and broken. Will your heart join our hearts too?

It happened a year ago today. The door bell rang and my life, as I knew it, was never the same. It was the warning of the storm headed straight my way. And, it wasn’t just any storm – it was the perfect storm. I never saw it coming either. I’m thankful someone else did and loved me enough to wake me up, both figuratively and literally, to warn me. I still get anxiety when I hear door bells ring.
Living on the East Coast my whole life, I’ve been through a few hurricanes. There’s always the eery calm before the storm. You’ve been warned. You know it’s coming. You’ve stocked up on water, flash lights, batteries, generators, and bread. Now all you can do is batten down the hatches, wait and worry. You wait and worry about who and what will survive. You pray the storm will pass and everything in your life will be in tact when it’s over – including you.
That’s how that day and the next 47 days felt. Wait, worry, repeat.
As I sat in the eery silence of the calm before the storm, I heard God’s still, small voice whisper:
I’ve got you.
In that moment I knew no matter what devastation the storm caused, I was going to survive. Not without feeling like I was going to die first though…
The perfect storm destroyed everything in its’ path. My dreams. My identity. My self-worth. My relationship with the church I worked at for 12 years and gave 33 years of my life to. Not to mention the people I thought were grace-filled friends and leaders.
But, through that storm and the next two storms, God kept His promise to me. He was with me through them all. Even after the storms passed and I sat in the wreckage of my sin – He never left me.
It’s ironic the day after the hurricane seems like the most beautiful day God’s ever created. The sun is shining brighter than ever and there isn’t a cloud in the sky. Interesting. But, yet – there’s devastation all around. It’s a mess – yet it’s beautiful. A beautiful mess. And, only God can take our mess and make it our message, or shall we say, our story. He makes it a beautiful message. A beautiful story of His grace.
It’s taken almost a year to pick myself up out of the beautiful mess. And, by God’s beautiful grace, I haven’t just survived – I’ve thrived. In fact…
I’m dreaming again.
I’m believing the best is yet to come.
I’m rejecting the lie of being disqualified.
I’m confident and have clarity of my calling now more than ever.
I’m owning my story.
I’m not allowing a couple scenes to define my story.
I’m chasing the lion. (This will make sense in a later blog)
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, never underestimate what God can do in a year. When that door bell rang, I never imagined I’d be thriving and most of all, dreaming again – just 365 days later. I never imagined He could take the wreckage of my sin and make it into something beautiful. If he can do that in 365 days, I can’t imagine what life will be like 365 days from now. Knowing God, it’s gonna be good – no matter what.

Students attending Summer Quarter can earn credits and thereby finally earn a Masters of Sacred Theology (STM) granted by Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. In addition it is probably also necessary to take some online courses of WLS in order to earn the credits that are needed for the degree.


The creation scientist in contrast to the evolution scientist looks at the universe through a much different lens. He begins with Genesis 1:1 (KJV) which gives the underlying premise for all special creative acts by God as well as later physical laws and processes, such as the second law of thermodynamics, we now observe. The heaven referred to in the first part of verse 1 is undoubtedly the space-time continuum absent matter. The second part (the earth) refers to created matter (out of nothing, ex nihilo). If Dr. Russell Humphrey’s “white hole” cosmology is adopted (ref. 11 pp21-31), that created mass resided as a single immense spherical body of water 3 light years in diameter (the deep in Gen. 1) equal to the mass of the entire universe. That much mass would necessarily gravitationally distort the space-time continuum into another sphere by virtue of the law of general relativity. This distortion may be alluded to in Psalms 18:9 (KJV) which says “He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.” The second part of this verse may indicate something else important that happened. The spherical mass would have created a discontinuity in space at some distance from that body. From an outside observer it would initially appear as a very large black hole which would then by God’s hand become a white hole expelling matter through the discontinuity, with enough left inside to create the earth and possibly the solar system. The change by God of the black hole to a white hole may be found in II Corinthians 4:6 (KJV) which declares “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”. With the above cosmology, time would pass orders of magnitude faster in the outer cosmos compared to the near earth environment. This idea can be found in II Peter 3:5 (KJV) “…that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water”. It is interesting that God referred to the heavens (presumably second and third heavens) as being old but not the earth. Also important may be the comma in the middle of that verse possibly signifying the discontinuity mentioned earlier and delineating an old outer cosmos from a young earth. If we allow this cosmology to exist, we can explain other things. Most important are the great distances observed in the universe because of time stretching which allows light from distant parts of the universe to reach earth while it is still young. Additionally, the red-shift in the spectra of distant objects can be accomodated also by the stretching of the universe as mentioned several times in the Old Testament. With respect to the nebular hypothesis, the creation scientist can interpret very differently what is currently being observed in our galactic region. In Genesis 1:16 (KJV) He said “… he made the stars also”. It is likely that God made much more than just stars (and worlds or planets) but made vast clouds of gas and dust. These clouds could have been made to surround already existing stars or later come from stars which under went cataclysmic events such as supernovas which in time cross paths with stars as they drift through space.
Isaiah 50:3 (KJV) states that “I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering”. Also, in Psalms 18:11 (KJV) “He made darkness his secret place: his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies”. The word “pavilion” is interesting in the modern context as it pictures a tent-like structure in many of our city parks which is open below allowing people to pass through freely. In some cases they have bright lights high inside of the covering illuminating the area below but hidden from those outside. There are numerous nebulae which consist of dense dust and gas clouds hiding very massive and bright stars, the light and radiation from which are seen around the edge of these clouds either by reflection or by excitation of hydrogen gas in the region.
Horsehead Nebula (I.C. 434)
These created clouds also could explain many of the observations cited by the nebular theorists including the stellar “dusty disks” surrounding some stars. Those star systems may have been encroached by a passing cloud and the central star and attending planets distorted the cloud gravitationally into a disk. Some of the “disk gaps” could have been sculpted by local planetary accretion of the disk material.
TW Hydrae Disk Gap
So-called protostars said to currently exist and radiating in the infrared may be pre-existing brown dwarf stars veiled by dust and gas. Indeed, the majestic details of God’s creation are proclaimed well in Psalms 19:1 (KJV) “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork”. We should never let those who say we are the product of “star dust” silence us and as proclaimed in Ephesians 2:10 (KJV) “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them”.

The Da Vinci Code is a 2006 film about the Holy Grail of Christ, so it's a Christian film but also pagan.
10 out of 10 stars. This is one of my favorite films and fun to watch at Christmas. It reveals a lot of actual history around the time of Christ as well as the time of Constantine and the Knights Templar. Most people don't study history and don't consider Jesus an actual person unless they are Christian. Well, he was real. There are historical accounts of him in almost every religion and every historical text of the time. What differs by religion is who he was, a man, a prophet, or the son of God?

Bringing Music Home
Perhaps it is because we feel the fakeness of all this. Or perhaps it’s because we are no longer fooled by it. Or perhaps it’s because we want more. Or maybe, it’s for all these reasons, but whatever the reasons, all four generations alive today are expressing a desire for authenticity—yes, even the millennial generation that will be our future.
This is one of the places where Shelley Giglio has gotten it right. Shelley grew up in Texas, with a family who cared well for her and stressed the importance of being true to who she is as an individual. She recalls, “My parents taught us that there was an authenticity to being who you are. Faking was not tolerated.” Her mom and dad rearing her in this way became the foundation for the way she lives her life.
Shelley married Louie Giglio 31 years ago, and together the two have created some of the most dynamic movements within the Christian church and music industry, including Passion, Passion City, and sixstepsrecords. One of the common threads for each of these is the same spirit of authenticity that Shelley was taught as a child. No faking allowed.
Combining the theme of authenticity with worship, Shelley and Louie, through the Passion movement, have impacted numerous young people’s lives through events such as the Passion conferences (began in 1997), OneDay, and the Passion World Tour, in which the goal has always been to bring young people together to worship God and experience that worship in an environment where lives could be forever impacted.
Shelley and Louie also created sixstepsrecords, a record label with the vision of getting authentic worship music to the people of God, so that God can reach His people with a message of love and healing. It may not seem unusual now, but at the time, this was revolutionary. Christian music had been on the scene for a while, but not worship music. It wasn’t something that Shelley knew would succeed. But she took a risk being her authentic self, and it paid off—not only for her, but for the millions of people who now have worship music as a significant part of their lives. And since its beginning in 2000, sixstepsrecords in Atlanta has been home to not only Passion, but also David Crowder, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, and others.
When asked how it feels to be a part of this trend-setting movement, Shelley remarks, “Most of my life is spent in the back of a darkroom while others are propelled to the front—but it’s worth it, because lifetimes are built on this.” Shelley has somehow managed to take the beautiful home life she experienced as a child and bring that into her label, creating an authentic home for her artists. She speaks of them with the same tenderness, fondness, and pride that a mom would have for her child. “I know the simplicity from which their songs came. They put their heart and melody behind something they’ve learned or are walking through. The purity is what God elevates.”
Shelley gives them a safe place to express their hearts, hurts, and healings. The words and melodies used by artists are an authentic expression of who they truly are—what they think and how they feel. Art exposes the essence of the artist and leaves not just their art, but also their personal being revealed and vulnerable to criticism when it’s shared with other people. For some, that can be an incredibly difficult fear to overcome. One of Shelley’s gifts is seeing into people’s hearts and believing in them until they can believe in themselves.
But it has not all been easy. Shelley remarks that life is painful. Everyone experiences loss and tragedy, and when she was young, she sometimes didn’t have the maturity and wisdom to deal with it. As she has walked through life, she has learned, “Sometimes breathing is all you can do. You can’t change it. But just breathing is a gift. I can appreciate it or hate it, but that’s all I can do. That sets the tone for everything else. It makes you realize that there is purpose in life.”
Shelley’s purpose to create an authentic home for the people that God puts in her path isn’t limited to sixstepsrecords and the artists working there. She has begun two ministries at Passion City Church for women, and one of the goals of these programs is authentic expression of women within the church. About ten years ago, she launched the Grove to address a growing concern in her heart. She wanted to unite the women of Atlanta in inspiration, to show them that there is a place in the church for them to express themselves fully and authentically. Similar to worship music, Shelley was before her time in recognizing that there was not a place in church for women to express their talents. As a result, Shelley saw that the women in church were leaving to express their talents in culture, which is appropriate, but she says, “How sad it is if women don’t have a place to serve in their own house! Women are thermostats; they set the temperature of every environment they are in. We believe in them. There’s a place for them in body of Christ.” And every week, women now gather at Passion City Church in Atlanta to worship, fellowship, and learn about contributing to the body of Christ as their authentic selves. More recently, Shelley began Flourish, a mentoring program for young women in the church, with around 800 participants today. Believing that it isn’t just big environments that are needed to help women flourish, this is a day-to-day program in which women are growing up into what God has created them to be and receiving an investment into their lives, much in the same way that Shelley personally invests into the lives of her artists.
What an inspiration to see someone like Shelley—someone who knows who she is, someone who isn’t afraid to take chances, and someone who risks believing in people with all her heart. Her legacy is over thirty years of authentically loving and supporting people, and I am excited to see that continue for the next thirty years.

A Tale of Two Campgrounds
It’s very easy to see the hand of God working in the lives of the two ministries that came together to form Haven on the Rock. In the early 1980’s He was working in two areas of Wyoming, speaking to leaders and youth alike to tell them that a camp was in His plan.
For the parents and grandparents of Lingle, Wyoming, God’s plan became evident as they watched many of their children go to summer camp and be transformed. During a local church service one evening, an old rancher stood up in the back and said, “I don’t know what happened to all these kids at that camp – all I know is I want what happened to them, to happen to me.” With that, he marched down to the front of the church and got on his knees, where he was soon joined by half the congregation. Some of the lives that were changed that night included a local ranching family, who were so moved that they dedicated some of their land to the building of a camp designed to fulfill the calling God had given them. They called their camp Rim Rock, and dedicated its use to the community that had inspired them to open it.
Just up the road, a local church in Casper established a children’s church camp. As more and more children came and the camp began to grow, the church’s leaders turned it into a Christian community camp called Adventures in Christian Kamping, or ACK, with the goal of helping children “ACK”nowledge Christ in all their ways.
In the early part of each camp’s ministry, they actually did camp together – Adventures in Christian Kamping used the facilities at Rim Rock to run their camps. This arrangement ended as both camps grew and eventually parted ways to continue to serve the Lord and the children that came summer after summer in their own ways. But in 2010, Adventures in Christian Kamping returned to Rim Rock to rent their facilities and perform their ministry, working around Rim Rock’s own schedule. It was in 2012 that the leaders of each ministry got together and asked the question, “Could we do this ministry together? Not side by side, but as one?” Following the Lord’s direction, they decided to give it a try, forming what is known today as Haven on the Rock.
God has been with each ministry every step of the way, changing lives and bringing people to Himself through dedicated counselors, selfless volunteers, and countless hours of fun and teaching. In turn, He has asked both Rim Rock and ACK, “Will you follow me in this?” We answered proudly and boldly with “Yes!”, and are following Him to the place He will lead us – to His Haven on the Rock. As we follow God’s leading, we are excited to see the incredible things that He will continue to do with this new and unified camp, and look forward to sharing our journey with you!

It feels like it has been a long time since we sent out an update. Things have been very busy here with an expanding sphere of influence, growing ministries and our addition to our family (our niece).
Here are some quick bullet point updates on the last 3+ months:
Ministry with World Impact
Ø Trained 13 teams in our Evangel School of Church Planting representing 17 US cities and other nations. Their combined vision is to plant 1,200 over the next 3 years.Ø Coaching 9 people in church planting and ministry development.
Ministry with Fuente para las Naciones

Ø Church-wide Serve Day leading up to Thanksgiving.
We went out to the streets and handed out 100 meals to the homeless and most needy in our community.
Ø Christmas Banquet & Toy Store and other outreaches coming up in the next few weeks.
There has been an increase in visitors checking out our church, being invited by friends. During times like Christmas these events give us more time and opportunity to build relationships and share about Jesus and our church.
Christmas Toys Needed
Are you willing to help us with our Toy Store?
This annual event gives families from our church and community the opportunity to come buy a gift or two at deeply discounted prices (up to 75% off). This makes getting a special gift for their children more attainable, but still allows for them to feel the ownership and dignity of choosing and buying the gift themselves. There is a real special feel as our church really makes the space festive and hospitable and a group from our church does all the follow-up afterwards to help make a deeper connection for these families.
We need 100+ toys and gifts for boys and girls from 2 years – 18 years old. You can send or drop off gifts, order them online and have them delivered directly to us or send us a check and we’ll do the shopping. Please have money or gifts to us by December 14th at the very latest.
If you are able to give towards this special event, please send your gift to our church: FUENTE PARA LAS NACIONES (note this is different than our normal support giving sent to World Impact):

LIFTING WORSHIP TO KINGDOM HEIGHTS
(CLICK HERE IF YOU WISH TO ORDER WORSHIP SONGS IN HAITIAN CREOLE)
One of the major ministries of HaitiRevival is to transform worship throughout Haiti. Jim Glynn has translated over 350 well-known contemporary worship songs into Haitian Creole. He continues to translate songs on an ongoing basis. He records to CDs and has compiled a songbook, available for purchase through this website.
Haitian churches worship with a songbook of hymns and choruses compiled many years ago and used by all denominations. We are the only ministry actively translating and recording praise and worship music. Pastor Jim’s recordings are regularly aired on the major Christian radio stations throughout Haiti.
As is true in many US churches, Haitian congregations tend to worship in a way we could call performance-driven. Worship leaders shouting into microphones, an emphasis on physical manifestations more than spiritual connections, repetition and militant obedience to the orders of the leader. It can seem earnest and lively, yet seldom yields deep connection with the Throne of God.
Wherever we have opportunity to lead or teach worship, we demonstrate what Jesus said, “...true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24).
Before congregations, worship leaders, pastors, and musicians we bring liberty in the Spirit to worship, showing how to lead worshipers “to the Throne of God” instead of simply performing music on earth. True worship may involve shouting and body movements, but it will also be marked by the holy connection of each individual worshiper with the Kingdom of God, with a corresponding response from heaven.
We also challenge Haitians to reclaim native instruments and music styles which are used in voodoo worship. We know that God is the creator and Lord of bamboo flutes, wooden and metal rhythm instruments, and various kinds of drums, and music is his creation. We know that Satan is a robber and imitator who has no rights to any musical style or instrument. So we pray and encourage Christian musicians to take back all that Satan has stolen in order to create true “Haitian” praise and worship music.
If you are a worship leader, teacher, singer, musician....or master of sound equipment, projection, computer worship programs, we welcome and invite you to join our work lifting worship from earth to heaven in Haiti.

We are biblically based in that everything we do is measured by the Word of God as revealed in the Bible. We are a Protestant church, “one"of the three great branches on the "tree" of Christianity.
While holding to those matters of faith and practice that make us different, we recognize and affirm the validity of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. We recognize and observe two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper.
We are a local church, having been in the community of Morgantown since the early 1800's. We are a worship-centered church because God created us for worship. In worship is how we express our love for, adoration of, and thanks, to God. We are a mission and outreach church because this is the direct command of Jesus Christ
