  • 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.

  • The Calm Before the Storm
    The Calm before the Storm Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved to watch the birdies. I loved it when our yard became filled with the cardinals, snow birds, sparrows, and other feathered friends. You could almost predict the weather or my cats’ whereabouts from their frenzies. Today, it seems that we have a whole lot in common with the birds. Many of us feel a sense of unrest in our spirits. There are so many weird things going on in our world that we have to be very intentional about maintaining our sense of peace and focus. We cannot allow ourselves to succumb to fear, but we must prepare. Over the past few months, I have been telling my clients that they must prepare spiritually, emotionally, and physically. What they did last year to prepare is not enough to get them through. Preparation must occur regularly and with greater intensity. There are more stressful situations in our midst daily. Since the stress is higher, the remedy must increase in proportion to the stresses. We must condition and prepare just as an athlete prepares for the opponent. I have never been one to understand sports, but motherhood has expanded my horizons. My son talked me into enrolling him in martial arts when he began middle school. He was excited to begin and the first few classes were relatively easy. Every year he has been expected to accomplish more. He has had to work out many times a week. Last week’s workout did not excuse him from this week’s workout.
