  • The Welcome Verse for This Week Is Psalm 23:2: “He Makes Me Lie Down in Green Pastures
    The welcome verse for this week is Psalm 23:2: “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” Practicing Solitude and Prayer Luke 5:12-16; Mark 6:31; Matthew 14:23 The Bottom Line: All of life is built out from the eremos, solitude with God. Introduction: At the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, he is led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Why? The wilderness is the place of strength, not weakness. Today, we discuss the importance of solitude and prayer in the life of the believer. All of life is built out from the eremos, solitude with God. Tension: We have become comfortable in one big kingdom of noise. “The reason we live in a culture increasingly without faith is not because science has somehow disproved the unprovable, but because the white noise of secularism has removed the very stillness in which it might endure or be reborn. The greatest threat to faith today is not hedonism, but distraction.” – Andrew Sullivan Many of us would rather be caught up in the noise of life than be alone with God and ourselves. This is just what the enemy intends. Truth: “Let him who cannot be alone beware of community; let him who is not in community beware of being alone.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer Your life among other believers is only helpful when you have built a foundation of solitude with God. Your encouragement, ministry, and witness to other believers should be an overflow of your own time away with God.

  • Metabolic Rates of Ephemerid Nymphs from Swiftly Flowing and from Still Waters by H
    179 METABOLIC RATES OF EPHEMERID NYMPHS FROM SWIFTLY FLOWING AND FROM STILL WATERS BY H. MUNRO FOX, B. G. SIMMONDS AND R. WASHBOURN. (From the Zoology Department, University of Birmingham.) (Received 15th December, 1934.) I. INTRODUCTION. IT was shown in 1933 by Fox and Simmonds that certain species of mayfly nymphs (Baetis rhodam) and caddis larvae (Hydropsyche sp.) from a swift stream have a considerably higher oxygen consumption than nearly related and equal sized ephemerids (Chloeon dipterum) and trichopterids (Limnopktlus vittatus1) from a pond, and that, within the confines of a single species of isopod Crustacea (Asellus aquaticus), individuals from a swift stream consume more oxygen than animals from sluggishly flowing water. The oxygen uptake was in each case measured under standard and similar conditions. We have now obtained further evidence of the same phenomenon with other species of ephemerids and we have studied the comparative survival of nymphs in low concentrations of dissolved oxygen. The new results are reported below. Two small species were studied, namely Coenis sp. and Ephemerella ignita. Coenis was found clinging to Lemna floating on the same pond at Alvechurch, Worcestershire, from which Chloeon had previously been taken. Ephemerella occurred on submerged roots in the same stream at Blakedown, Worcestershire, that harbours Baetis, but in less rapidly flowing water than the latter. The oxygen consumption of Coenis and Ephemerella was measured on the same day that the animals were caught. Three large species were also studied and compared with one another. These were Ephemera vulgata, E. danica and Ecdyonurus venosus. Nymphs of the first-named species were found burrowing in mud at the edges of a small pond near Newdigate in Surrey.

    4 Lent Psalm 23 Christ and Grace March 22, 2020 Robin Teasley Psalm 23 King James Version 1 The LORD is my shepherd; * I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; * he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul; * he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his Name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; * for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; * thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, * and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Sometimes I am reminded that God knows what we need and puts it before us exactly when we need it. If there has ever been a time when I needed something, lots of things actually, it’s now. We had a hint it was coming but oh what a week it has been. I imagine all of you are feeling much the same. Along with the stress and challenges, I have seen and heard some amazing things this week and what I have noticed is that they have appeared before me like manna. This holy food from God appears like a table prepared before me, like oil for anointing and healing, like a cup that runneth over. When it happens it’s all goodness and mercy and I know I am dwelling in the house of the Lord even when our church is closed.

  • “Waters of the U.S.” After Swancc
    10/6/2005 “WATERS OF THE U.S.” AFTER SWANCC By Jon Kusler, Esq. Association of State Wetland Managers, Inc. PREFACE This paper has been prepared to facilitate discussion in a forthcoming workshop concerning the identification of “waters of the U.S.” for Section 404 wetland permitting and the role the states may play in closing the “gap” in federal Section 404 regulations created by the SWANCC decision. It focuses upon the identification of “waters of the U.S.” What did the U.S. Supreme Court hold in SWANCC concerning the identification of “waters of the U.S.”? What are some to the major legal issues and field identification problems in identifying such waters? What have lower federal district and court of appeals had to say with regard to CWA jurisdictional issues in both pre and post SWANCC contexts? The paper has been written primarily for lawyers and, therefore, contains many case citations. However, it may also be of interest to federal, state, and local regulatory agency staff, planners and others working with the Clean Water Act. The paper begins with a background on the use of terms “navigable waters” and “waters of the U.S.” in the Clean Water Act. It then examines the changes resulting from the SWANCC decision. This is followed by an examination of court cases and administrative guidance following SWANCC. The paper then turns to some combined field-level legal/factual issues in identifying waters of the U.S. on the ground. Finally, it concludes with some recommendations. Appendix A describes in greater depth some factual contexts which pose particular identification problems.

Messiah Lutheran Church 6900 Kingston Pike • Knoxville Tennessee 37919 865•588•9753 • www.messiahknoxville.org • [email protected] 2 In today’s gospel the risen Christ appears to the disciples and offers them the gift of peace. Even amid doubts and questions, we experience the resurrection in our Sunday gathering around word and in our everyday lives. Throughout the coming Sundays of Easter the first two readings will be from the Acts of the Apostles and the first letter of Peter. Even as the early Christians proclaimed the resurrection, we rejoice in the new birth and living hope we receive in baptism. Gathering WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS PRELUDE Christ Is Alive! Let Christians Sing -Wilber Held Organ GREETING Alleluia, Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen indeed, Alleluia! THANKSGIVING FOR BAPTISM All may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins. Alleluia! Christ is risen. Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia! Joined to Christ in the waters of baptism, we are raised with him to new life. Let us give thanks for the gift of baptism. Water may be poured into the font as the presiding minister gives thanks. We give you thanks, O God, for in the beginning you created us in your image and planted us in a well-watered garden. In the desert you promised pools of water for the parched, and you gave us water from the rock.
