We were touched by her trust and have tried to carry out her wishes. How serious a responsibility was entailed became apparent as soon as we examined the material. One thing in particular impressed us: Marguerite Teillard's self-effacement. In presenting the letters she had omitted every- thing that concerned herself personally and concentrated on allowing the personality ofPere Teilhard to emerge. We felt, however, that it would be impossible to understand the birth and development of Pere Teilhard's thought if the part played by Marguerite were not appreciated. Her modesty and her sense of dignity caused her to withdraw into the background, but her contribution, from the very nature of her character, was of capital importance; and now that death has released her from any possible suspicion of vanity or pride we feel that her personality should no longer be left in self-imposed obscurity.

No decent person likes to watch someone else crash and burn, especially a kid. Yet, I found myself in a position for eight years where I had to do just that. I knew it was coming every year and it was never pleasant. Nor did I ever really get used to it or hardened by it. So, what was the position? It was that of a high school basketball coach at an inner city high school. Every year in the early fall, we began the process of forming that season’s basketball team. This was always a time of big dreams, high expectations, and big talk. Usually the biggest talk came from the new young players or the new kids who had transferred to our school. As the process began, we would spend two weeks trying to get the kids to quit. We would run them more than most of them had ever run in their life.

  • Sermon Transcript
    3 – “Friendship and Communication” // Ephesians 5:25–27 // First Love: Gospel-Centered Relationships Compassion Video: This weekend, we are launching a partnership with Compassion International. Compassion partners with local churches to sponsor impoverished children right in their own neighborhoods and communities. That was my family, and today, each of you will have the opportunity to partner by sponsoring a child. By sponsoring a child, you will ensure that they have the opportunity to get proper nutrition, education, and leadership training. You will also be able to write letters, encourage, and perhaps even visit them in their home country. Most importantly, these children will be involved in a local church and have the opportunity to respond to the gospel of Christ. (A majority of the children available to sponsor today are from regions where the Summit has an ongoing ministry - the Dominican Republic, Kenya, and Indonesia.) We have a vision of planting 1,000 churches in our generation. This is one way that we're giving EVERYONE the opportunity to take part in that vision and our mission internationally. I’d love for us to sponsor 1,000 children this weekend! Help us make that happen. Your campus teams will follow up with more details at the end of our time together today. Introduction: I sent you out last weekend with the assignment to ask significant relationships in your life, “What can I do to serve you?” I’ve heard some great stories… One guy told me he asked his boss and got assigned overtime and was not too happy about it.

    QUOTES ON DATING If she’s not your first and last thought of the day, let her go. She deserves better. --Dinesh Kumar Biran Why do we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss or dream? Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt by the heart. —Denzel Washington One may have a blazing hearth in one’s soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way. —Vincent Van Gogh I’ve been single for a while and I have to say, it’s going very well. I think I might be the one. —Rebel Circus O love, O fire! once he drew With one long kiss my whole soul through My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew. —Alfred, Lord Tennyson Go and love someone exactly as they are and then watch how quickly they transform into the greatest, truest version of themselves. When one feels seen and appreciated in their own essence, one is instantly empowered. —Wes Angelozzi You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through.

  • On the Road to the Origin with Darwin, Hooker, and Gray
    On the Road to the Origin with Darwin, Hooker, and Gray DUNCAN M. PORTER Department of Biology Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Blacksburg, Virginia 24061 INTRODUCTION I began this paper intending to write a short essay with the title "Plant Geography in The Origin of Species." However, I find that it has evolved into something quite different. Since the summer of 1989, when the original title was chosen, I have read some unpublished letters at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University that led me to substitute the present title. Much of the present paper now consists of excerpts from letters between Charles Darwin (1809-1882), Asa Gray (1810-1888), and Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911). They are relevant to my subject because Darwin depended upon Gray and Hooker, botanists respectively at Harvard and Kew, for much of the information on phytogeography in the Origin. I intend to pursue that theme in a later publication. I do not apologize for these long excerpts, as I think that the story is best told in the words of the protagonists. Also, they show that Darwin was not operating in a vacuum. Letters of Asa Gray was published in 1893 (J. Gray 1893), and Life and Letters of Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1918 (L. Huxley 1918). In spite of the large numbers of letters contained in these four volumes, many of the letters that I quote from have never been published. Apparently, they were not deemed of sufficient interest to the general audience that was presumed to comprise the readers of such collections.
