  • Massachusetts Colony, Henry David Thoreau, and Walden Pond Radon Andersen
    Massachusetts Colony, Henry David Thoreau, and Walden Pond RaDon Andersen As detailed in the book Mayflower by Nathan Philbrick, the first permanent settlers in the Massachusetts area were the Pilgrims, who arrived in Plymouth in 1620, after a long, exhausting journey. Led by Captain Miles Standish and William Bradford, among others, the Pilgrims suffered huge losses during their first winter, with only 44 of 102 surviving. “For we must Consider that we shall A few years after the Pilgrims arrived, the be as a City upon a Hill, the eyes of all Massachusetts Bay Colony was chartered, and settled people are upon us…” John Winthrop by Puritans. Three hundred families arrived in 1630, and John Winthrop was named governor of the colony. Declaring that the colony would be “a city upon a hill”, Winthrop and his followers settled in the Massachusetts area, with Boston as their center. These colonists also suffered losses during their first year, as over 200 settlers died from disease, hunger, and the effects of harsh weather. Colonists struggled to find food. Many of their shelters were not built to withstand the unexpected conditions in winter. Interactions with American Indian tribes were unpredictable and dangerous. In spite of these initial challenges, the colony eventually thrived and became a successful economic center. The Massachusetts Colony was known for its emphasis on education. In 1647, the Old Deluder Act required that any township with 50 households must provide a teacher to instruct students to read and write. New College, later named Harvard University, was established in 1636. According to historian Perry Miller, as quoted in Founding Faith, “the government of Massachusetts…was a dictatorship, and never pretended to be anything else” (Waldman).

    some words about words This talk was written about North American English, but English is not a single language with a single standard meaning for every word or phrase. It’s possible that the specific things I say in this talk will not apply to the dialect of English that you speak in your workplace. Unfortunately, I don’t have the experience I would need to be able to localize this talk to the major dialects of English people speak in this part of the world. So I will begin by talking about the theories of language I drew on in writing this talk. Understanding these theories can help you understand what to look for in your workplace and your dialect(s) of English. what to listen for Direct insults have no place in a retrospective (or, I would argue, any workplace), but they’re also reasonably easy to identify, and they’re generally an issue for a company’s management, so insults and other unambiguous mean remarks are mostly not what I am going to to talk about today. I am going to talk about subtle words and phrases that may make you feel bad but leave you feeling confused about why. These are regionally and culturally variant- subtle insults or compliments depend on you knowing what the speaker considers good and bad and what words have good or bad connotations, and those things are strongly influenced by culture and region (even within countries). So I will start by giving you some tools to use when thinking about the meanings of words in English.

Generally speaking it is a positive phase. If you were born during the night then you experience the shining influence of the Sun's rays in your mid 40s. You have been reassessing your life goals and making the necessary changes. This can range from something as simple as spring cleaning your house, to a more serious change of career or relationship. After a period of letting go and perhaps experiencing a sense of loss, you are now ready to move forward and shine in your life. Opportunities arise in all areas of life. People from all walks of life are ready to help you achieve your personal and professional ambitions. You have the opportunity to live and rich and rewarding life with appreciation from other people. If you were born during the day then you experience the positive influence of the Sun's rays from birth, and then again in your mid 70s if you live that long. Depending on other influences in your birth chart, you are likely to have a rewarding childhood. Your parents dote on you in early childhood, helping you to experience a good sense of self.

ABILITY VS. DEPENDABILITY Think about the person you count on most in the world, such as your parent, your sibling, a friend, an older neighbor, and so on. What about them makes you comfortable relying on them? It could be that they always listen when you need it. It could be that they’ve never failed to help you procure something you need. It could be that they always show up when they say they will. The key can probably be boiled down to: They always do what they say they are going to do. That is the core of dependability. A dependable person will do whatever is required to get the job done. It doesn’t matter if there is a sacrifce of time or resources or mental energy required. They said they would do it, so you know that it will be done. Everybody wants to be the big, noticeable talent on the court. You want to be recognized for your abilities because society tells you that’s what counts. But, dependability is far more vital to success than mere talent. If your teammates and coach can’t depend on you to be there when you’re needed most, it doesn’t matter how much talent or ability you have. You have to be trustworthy before you will be trusted with the moments that matter.

  • The Pastor's Page
    THE PASTOR’S PAGE My dear People of St. Mary’s: On May 25, 2018, the people of Ireland went to the polls and became the first nation in history to approve the legalization of abortion by popular vote. They did so by a margin of 66% to 34%, with 84% of all 18 to 24 year-olds voting in favor of abortion. On Sunday, September 30, 1979, Pope St. John Paul II held a special Mass for 300,000 young people at Ballybrit Racecourse, in County Galway, Ireland. Here is what he said to them on that day: This is a very special occasion, a very important one. This morning, the Pope belongs to the youth of Ireland! I have looked forward to this moment; I have prayed that I may touch your hearts with the words of Jesus. … When I look at you, I see the Ireland of the future. Tomorrow, you will be the living force of your country; you will decide what Ireland will be. Tomorrow, as technicians or teachers, nurses or secretaries, farmers or tradesmen, doctors or engineers, priests or religious—tomorrow you will have the power to make dreams come true. Tomorrow, Ireland will depend on you. When I look at you assembled around this altar … I see the future of the Church. God has his plan for the Church in Ireland, but he needs you to carry it out. What the Church will be in the future depends on your free cooperation with God's grace. When I look at the thousands of young people here before me, I also see the challenges that you face.
