  • “Springtime Is for Lovers”
    Vol. 6, No. 4 http://ImmanuelHouston.org/ March 2017 “Springtime Is For Lovers” “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” John 13:34 February 2nd, Punxsutawney Phil took a timid look outside, got a glimpse of his shadow and headed back into hiding, signaling to the world that we would have six more weeks of winter and springtime would just have to wait. As I write this article I can hear the hum of the A/C. The grass is springing back to life, the leaves are emerging green and vibrant, and the mercury has risen to the mid 80’s outside. Maybe it is actually springtime regardless of what some pampered rodent named Phil thinks… and we all know that spring is for lovers. At least according to the over 14 million hits I got when I Googled that phrase. But seriously, it doesn’t matter what time of year it is, LOVE is for the Body of Christ. Jesus did not command that we simply be polite. He didn’t go on and on that we must dress appropriately when we go to church on Sundays. He didn’t even command that we have a neat and tidy facility that is warm and inviting. Jesus commanded that you love one another just as He loved you. You, me, and every other person that has ever lived is a sinner. We violate God’s commandments and do things every day to stray from His path and put distance between Him and us.

  • Pieces of a Woman
    PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.

The reactors were set to be among the first built in the U.S. in decades. While the decision will save customers billions in additional costs, customers of the two utilities — Santee Cooper and South Carolina Electric & Gas — may get little to nothing refunded of the billions they’ve already paid for the now-abandoned project.

  • Ink Master: Angels': New, All-Women Series Is "Inspiring," Showrunner Says by Amanda Buckle June 2017
    https://mic.com/articles/178923/ink-master-angels-new-all-women-series-is-inspiring- showrunner-says#.q1nb1r7bX 'Ink Master: Angels': New, all-women series is "inspiring," showrunner says By Amanda Buckle June 2017 Ink Master alums Ryan Ashley, Kelly Doty, Nikki Simpson and Gia Rose are here to stay. The tattoo artists proved to be top competitors in season eight of the Spike reality series and in March, the network announced that the women would be returning for their own one-hour special, Ink Master: Angels. On Monday Spike revealed that the special has now been turned into a series. Ink Master: Angels will consist of 10 episodes and debut this fall. The series will follow Ryan, Kelly, Nikki and Gia as they "travel the country and go head-to- head with some of America's most talented tattoo artists." The twist is that the competitors facing the four women will be fighting for a spot on season 10 of Ink Master, which will debut in 2018. The announcement doesn't come as a big surprise as Ink Master pulled in a 57% female audience for its eighth season — the largest number of female viewers in franchise history. The eighth season also crowned Ryan Ashley as its first female winner. For Ink Master showrunner and executive producer Andrea Richter, the idea to bring the women back came together "pretty quickly." "It's interesting having been there and filmed them for the first time and seeing all of them meet for the first time and bond," Richter said. "I think it was an obvious choice.
