But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

I swear this is legit, I was writing out some verses on the love of God demonstrated, and this is the last thing I copied. I feel like such a Jesus Juke right now, but really I am being Legit.

I was gonna try to find some fancy verse to precede this, but I’m not going to. You need to pray for your Pastors. Lead, Worship, Youth and otherwise. Pray for them.

“if you hadn’t shaved it, like i told you not too, it wouldn’t be itching so bad.”

Holy cow, I didn’t realize that I hadn’t copied anything since then, and that sounds REALLY not good taken out of context. This is part of a Facebook status comment that i left on one of my students walls (I am a youth pastor). This guy was debating whether or not to shave his chest… I had pointed out some negatives. He did it and his latest post was complaining about his chest and belly being all itchy.

Hilarious.

After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
(Revelation 7:9 ESV)

I linked to that post in a fb post earlier.

Nick, I am overjoyed to commit myself to you in front of our God and our family and friends. I am confident that God has chosen you to be my husband, that He is delighted to bring us together to create a new family, and that His will is being fulfilled today.

I choose you to be my husband and offer myself to you to be your wife. God has made you into a man of joy and integrity, of faith and of strength. I love your humor and your care for me and for other people. Your personality and character set you apart from all others. I am in awe when I think of how you have obeyed God’s calling, even when it cost you. You are the kind of man worth give my heart and my soul to, to be my companion for the rest of my life. Apart from my redemption in Christ, you are the greatest gift God has ever given me.

Nick, you are the love of my life and my soulmate. 1 John says, “We love because Christ first loved us.” And I love you with the strength the Lord because He first loved me. I accept you as my husband wholeheartedly with solemn commitment and a grateful heart. I commit to putting your needs and our family’s needs above and before my own. When life is sweet and full of laughter, I will love you. When the trials and storms of life shake us to our core, I will stand next to you. Even as we face a life of unknowns – with a lot to risk and to gain – I commit to you that I will spend the rest of my days with you learning how to treasure, protect, honor, and respect you.

When Christ submitted to the Father, it became the greatest act of love the world has ever known. With Christ as my strength, my example, and my Lord, I pledge to submit to you my love and my life. I will point you to Jesus and let you point me and our family to Him as well. I vow to love you out of the outpouring of Grace that God gives me. And by His power, I will remain faithful and steadfast to you. I will follow you, trusting that the Lord is guiding you as you lead our family. Beloved, I commit myself to you to be your wife, your biggest fan, and your closest friend.

Dear Los & Co,
Let’s find out what I have on my clipboard!!!
Gaelic Storm

Hey that’s a good band!

How have you been bullied in your life?
Why does the world mistreat Christians?
How did Jesus respond when He was bullied?

Team, I am going to be gone the last week in September, visiting the Mattix family and helping them move. I will be working on eval stuff away from my desk for a few days. Can someone oversee Lodge clean up, food move to galley, rearranging beds back to normal configuration, along with any big group clean up that would be good to get done? Thanks! Not sure exactly when people are leaving but have communicated my desire for them to help clean the lodge.

“Ok, here’re my expounded upon thoughts:

Firstly, I do, generally speaking, support the right of teachers and other public workers to strike and have organized representation. Why should they give up the right to present a united front and have a spokesperson/group merely because they receive their paycheck from the state/city/whatever? I don’t think they should have to. There is voice and power in numbers, and unions are a part of facilitating that for workers regardless of who their employer is.

I also tend to support this strike. Now, I will say that it needs to a short strike. A prolonged strike will end up being detrimental to everyone involved. I don’t think it will end up being prolonged since it seems the negotiations are close, but there was some bit of sticking that needed a “We’re serious” action.

1—regarding salary: Yes, there is now a 16% raise on the table. This is over 4 years, though. Previously, the city/mayor had agreed to a 4% raise. This was when they were well aware of the budget for the year. Then, the mayor canceled the raises—nixed a negotiated contract with no negotiations. That was a tacky move on his part. He also pushed for an added 90 minutes to the school day despite the canceled raises. Then there was agreement to hire additional teachers to help spread the workload of the additional 90 minutes a day. Which seems to fly in the face of “We don’t have enough money for the raises we already promised you.” Then, of course, there’s the siphoning off of money to private/charter schools while saying there isn’t enough money for the schools that are there. At any rate, as I understand it, the salary negotiations are looking to be favorably worked out. But that leads to the second sticking point, which is a big one—

2—The mayor wants more high-stakes testing in exchange for agreeing to the raises. This ties teacher and school evaluations to a simplistic and inequitable metric, especially since there is no adjustment for factors outside of the teachers’ control that significantly impact student performance throughout the year and particularly on tests like poverty and homelessness. Socio-economic factors are one of the biggest influences on the student success gap and on school success (by numeric metrics, at any rate) in general. Tying teacher evaluations almost solely to high-stakes test scores is overly simplistic, short-sighted, fails to account for a great deal of variables involved, and does nothing to further good education or help actual student achievement. It’s also not well in line with where education needs to go and where the Common Core is meant to lead students.

3—The other issue that seems to be at stake here is regarding what happens to teachers if schools need to or are forced to close. This seems to be in relation to financial downsizing, not performance-based closings. * The city/mayor is proposing relocation or a three-month severance package for those teachers, and the union wants a provision for down-sized teachers to be recalled when more teachers are needed again (should down-sizing be necessary) rather than hiring new teachers when teachers are needed. I get that. These teachers already have a vested interest in the system, and if they would like to be recalled into the system as soon as a new position comes available, they should have that option.

So, there’s my take on the matter. I think the action was necessary to prove the importance of these issues (my understanding is the high-stakes testing is the supreme motivator for this move). If it drags out more than a few day, maybe a week, though, it will start to undermine its own good. Then it will become detrimental to the students, and therefore to the teachers. There needs to be a contract agreement before then.

*Performance-based school closures is a tangental part of this whole struggle. I understand the motivation behind it, and I understand why it’s part of the current federal education direction. On the other hand, you are left with some big issues, most importantly: what do you do with the students in these schools? This becomes an even bigger issue considering that, as I noted above, the socio-economic standing of the students and the area (why oh why is school funding still tied to property taxes. *sigh*) is the most significant impacter of student and school success. Schools in poor areas have lower performance rates. This is something that needs to be considered and accounted for when dealing with education reform. /slight rabbit trail.”

A tutorial on how to make a binding for a quilt.

“Self-Binding Using Backing Fabric – With Mitered Corners ”

By: Penny Halgren

You can use the backing of the quilt and roll it over the edges to make a binding that attaches to the quilt top.

Or, you can use the quilt top and roll it over the edges to make a binding that attaches to the back.

Etc., etc. ad nauseum to most non-quilters !

Happy Quilting!

We’re both wondering how it’ll look like, as we want to have as many audience as possible taking the time to read the blogs, and transforming their minds to follow Jesus. Praise God for these Ragamuffins!

Ephesians 4:22-24

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your
old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made
new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created
to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
