Frontage Road 10 Eternal Winter Jessica Schoate The cold air chills my blood, Curling tightly around me, stealing my warmth. My tears turn to ice, slicing my cheeks as they fall. My world has become an arctic waste land. Numb, my skin is so terribly numb Deadened by the fi erce, icy breeze. Love once embraced me, smiled gently and warmed my soul, but quickly ripped its frigid claws into my veins. Spreading its frosted disease through my body. Alone I dwell in my eternal winter. Gone are the days when I would bask in the heat of our love. Only memories now, scorching my mind, turning it to so much ash. My body freezes with your absence, yet my mind is set ablaze with it. I am doomed to wander this desolate place and endure its agony. This wintry hell that our love has created for me, this is now my home. Photo submitted by Alicia Reynolds 6 Frontage Road 10 Conversations with the Mirror Jessica Schoate Pathetic tears sliding down your face, Shut up, little girl, you sicken me. You are the beaten dog whining at the feet of your master Begging for attention, only to be shunned. So run away, miserable child. Ponder why no one could love a parasite like you. Weep your tears of self loathing and desperation. You are the insignifi cant toy tossed aside, only good for a moment of amusement. Mirror, mirror, on the wall You say the most horrid things of all. A nuisance, you are the thorn in everyone’s side. A putrid mess plaguing the earth and soiling humanity, An oddity that no one could ever feel affection towards. Lie in a puddle of your own self pity, at least you understand how worthless you are. Shattered mirror, shards of glass, You are an eternal reminder of my desolate past. 7 Frontage Road 10 Helplessly Watching Jessica Schoate I see you, your venomous eyes glaring daring me to spill your secrets. I alone know your darkest of desires, I know your hunger for pain, I understand your starvation for tears, and I am willing to share my knowledge. I see you, your bitter voice gently whispering in Her ear. Her innocence shines like a beacon to your storm-tossed heart; Her angelic fi gure thrills your darkened soul. A fresh mind to torture and break, New agony to feast upon, And I weep the most sorrowful of tears for Her. I see you, your seemingly loving disposition towards Her; She takes your bait and runs into your arms. She doesn’t see your trickery, but it is crystal clear in my sight. She sees only your sorrow, not the violence you cleverly cloak. She sees your deep blue eyes overfl owing with love, not the harsh reality of your existence, and I wonder if she will allow me to save her. An unfaltering smile comes upon Her face as you touch Her hand, and I know that I am helplessly watching. Photo submitted by Meredith Casteel 8 Frontage Road 10 ODE TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE Jeremy McMillan Oh you! What a controlling force! You have monopolized the way I communicate! Since my fi rst word as a young babe You, like cancer, has grown along, within, and through me. You are a half-bred monster A mixture of Latin, of German, of French, and of Greek You have no reason for your laws And no mercy for the meek. For even the blind must adhere to subject verb agreements And the deaf must sign in the right tense! For as a child I grew up with Genesis That is – the alphabet, and have now come to the Revelation That you have an unyielding grasp upon my life! What a mangled system of rules That we constantly seem to break Comma splices and fragments abound Simplify yourself for Pete’s sake! I am under constant punishment.

  • Recognizing the Calm
    Recognizing the Calm By Gus Andrews How recognizing who Jesus is & what Jesus did brings calm into a believer's life. Luke 24:13-35 Introduction We begin a new series this morning that we are calling “The Calm Before the Storm.” When I googled that phrase the first definition that popped up was this one: “a period of unusual tranquility or stability that seems likely to precede difficult times.” And that’s the time of the NT Church that we are going to look at over the next eight or nine weeks. We’re going to look at the time between Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection– and the time when the Church began preaching and reaching and bringing thousands to the Lord Jesus AND SUFFERED INCREDIBLE PERSECUTION FOR DOING SO! And we’re going to try to use their example of how they prepared for their upcoming storm to see if we might gain a few insights about how we might prepare for whatever storms might be coming our way as well. Helpful insights about… Recognizing the Calm (And using the time provided by the calm for…) Substantiating A Faith of Your Own (And Thinking Twice) Before You Go Running Half Cocked Into the Storm (And) Powering Up While Things Are Still Calmed Down (As well as something About) Prayer Before the Storm (And) Listening to the Lord (How) A Little Help From Heaven Never Hurts! (And About) Making Hay While the Sun Still Shines! (How) Happy Days (Can Be) Are Here Again! All great lessons that those early Christians teach by the way they prepared for their upcoming storm.

  • DOG SPIDERS Written by Ammon Gilbert from A
    DOG SPIDERS Written by Ammon Gilbert From a Concept by Ammon Gilbert, Jim Law, and Johnny Moreno © BingeMedia 1 We open up the movie in a science lab, and not just any science lab, but something out of THE AMAZING SPIDER - MAN (that's for you Law, no w shut your mouth), something that's filled with lab coats, beakers, and fancy high - tech equipment that nobody really knows how to operate, but goddamn does it look cool. There are various scientists wandering around with clipboards, pocket protectors, thi ck - rimmed glasses, and classic white shin - hanging lab coats. It's a typical day at the ol' science lab doing typical science lab shit. Trotting down one of the many isles like it owns the place is a Golden Retriever. Like many Golden Retriever, this one ha s a perpetual smile on its face and looks about as happy as a pig in shit just being there. We focus on its collar to find its name is GINGER ). Ginger trots down the a isle on its way to its owner, Dr. Jack Hammer. Jack is a regular Rico Suave: handsomely g ood looking with a chiseled chin and a beefed out frame to match (i.e., the perfect role for Paul Logan). He is also sporting a lab coat and thick rimmed glasses because he's a scientist and that's what scientists do. He's currently working on some science shit, pouring liquid into various beakers, analyzing data, and concentrating intensely. Ginger stops trotting and sits by Jack , obviously wanting attention.

  • The Arts in Russia Under Stalin
    01_SOVMINDCH1. 12/19/03 11:23 AM Page 1 THE ARTS IN RUSSIA UNDER STALIN December 1945 The Soviet literary scene is a peculiar one, and in order to understand it few analogies from the West are of use. For a vari- ety of causes Russia has in historical times led a life to some degree isolated from the rest of the world, and never formed a genuine part of the Western tradition; indeed her literature has at all times provided evidence of a peculiarly ambivalent attitude with regard to the uneasy relationship between herself and the West, taking the form now of a violent and unsatisfied longing to enter and become part of the main stream of European life, now of a resentful (‘Scythian’) contempt for Western values, not by any means confined to professing Slavophils; but most often of an unresolved, self-conscious combination of these mutually opposed currents of feeling. This mingled emotion of love and of hate permeates the writing of virtually every well-known Russian author, sometimes rising to great vehemence in the protest against foreign influence which, in one form or another, colours the masterpieces of Griboedov, Pushkin, Gogol, Nekrasov, Dostoevsky, Herzen, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Blok. The October Revolution insulated Russia even more com- pletely, and her development became perforce still more self- regarding, self-conscious and incommensurable with that of its neighbours. It is not my purpose to trace the situation histori- cally, but the present is particularly unintelligible without at least a glance at previous events, and it would perhaps be convenient, and not too misleading, to divide its recent growth into three main stages – 1900–1928; 1928–1937; 1937 to the present – artifi- cial and over-simple though this can easily be shown to be.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

Jeff O’Grady, Pastor Today, on Palm Sunday, we conclude the sermon series, “Letting Go, Letting God” with a look at how pride can lead to a downfall. We’re not talking about pride in our accomplishments or being proud of our children. Self-respect is a positive thing and doesn’t necessarily lead to pride. However, we are talking about a lack of humility. Dante defined pride as the “love of self, perverted to hatred and contempt for one’s neighbor.”1 Who do you know that loves themselves excessively, that always puts themselves and their own interests first? Does that description fit Ty Cobb or Mickey Mantle for you? Donald Trump or Governor Andrew Cuomo? Madonna or Megan the Stallion? Pavarotti or Placido Domingo? My day timer has a “thought of the day” this week that read, “It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.” Doesn’t it seem sometimes that the people who refuse to accept anything but the best, often succeed where others don’t? I’m a March Madness NCAA fan at this time of year.
