If you have anything to be shredded, please bring cash with you and be in the lobby at 10:30 am. They will only stay as long as we have residents with items to shred. No signup is necessary.

Suddenly submerged deep underwater, victims often swim toward where they believe the surface to be, but in fact they are swimming deeper into the water. We can compare that situation to a vital biblical idea communicated in this week's text. Sinful human beings are swimming for their lives, trying to find the surface. But as they swim toward what they think is up – toward power, prestige, wealth, comfort – they are swimming deeper into what will ultimately ruin their lives. The gospel teaches us that the true way up is the way we usually think is down. Jim West will lead us through this important lesson. Come early to hear our own Freeta Moore bless us with her piano mastery of the hymns at 9:15am. VESPERS THURSDAY, JANUARY 24TH 3:30 PM BRILL CHAPEL Vespers speaker Melissa Nelms, Direc- tor of Discipleship at Acts 2 United Methodist Church, Edmond. Music by the Villa Voices: “Lord, All I Am Is Known to Thee” VESPERS THURSDAY, JANUARY 31ST 3:30 PM BRILL CHAPEL Vespers speaker will be Rev.

Music by the Villa Voices: “Father Jacob” 4 NEWS FROM RELIGIOUS LIFE If you have not yet picked up your January/February issue of "The Upper Room" daily devotional guide, we still have a few available. Don't miss out! Courtesy of the RLC, your copy is waiting for you in the Brill Chapel foyer in a display just left of the office door. Last Thursday 1/17, was the first time attendees at Vespers service had the opportunity to make a voluntary donation to the Religious program. Reference the memo placed in your in-house box announcing the implementation a couple of weeks ago. Apologies to those who missed seeing the place to do this. Some of you asked .... where? The collection plate on a stand will be on the right side of the foyer a few feet from the Chapel entrance. It tends to get crowded in the foyer and hard to spot when you are not used to it. Once the service is underway, the ushers will move the collection plate to a new location inside the chapel against the back wall on the left as you exit. The move is necessary to clear the space in the foyer for the valet parked walkers that are lined up and waiting to be returned to their owner at the conclusion of the service. Feel free to call with questions. Wilma R., Religious Life Chair 5 LINDSEY MEDICAL FRIDAY, JANUARY 25TH STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 AM Lindsey Medical will be coming to Epworth on Friday, January 25th starting at approximately 9:00 am to do FREE inspections of walkers and scooters.

In the south, the giant temple of Tanjore built by emperor Rajaraja Chola and traditional bronze casters, working as their ancestors did 1,000 years ago are shown. Michael Wood calls Tamil Nadu, "the only surviving 'Classical Civilization' in the world." Tamil is older than any modern European language. I wanted to remind Western-centric audiences, who implicitly assume the superiority of Western modes of thought, that Tamil is one of 23 official Indian languages, with a literature comparable to any in the West. It makes viewers sit up and question their assumptions. 8 LUNCH OUT AT MATTY MCMILLEN’S TUESDAY, JANUARY 29TH LEAVE @ 11:30 AM Matty McMillen’s will inspire memories to be made with friends and family. The pub atmosphere welcomes guests of all ages and features a classic menu and drink selection.

We also offer a variety of shareable plates, a selection of salads and fantastic sandwiches, like the Stout Braised Brisket with corned beef brisket, bacon jam, BBQ sauce, beer cheese and yellow mustard on a Brioche bun. Vegetarian options are available as well, including the Avocado Toast and the Impossible Burger. So let’s pack the bus and head across the street to Matty McMillen’s for lunch out. If you are interested in going, please sign up in the ‘Count Me In’ book BY MONDAY, JANUARY 28th. Residents are responsible for the cost of their own lunch and drinks.

Contents, Illustrations. Maps. Biblio. Notes. Index.. P.4l6. $39.95. Hardcover. One of the great mysteries of North American exploration is the precise route of Coronado after he crossed the Pecos River in May 1541. Morris' work explores possible answers to this question which has been "shrouded in controversy, mired in deception" (p.26). He has studied the numerous accounts of explorers as well as generations of foHowers to present his interpretation of the route of discovery. Besides the contributions of Coronado, the testimonies of much later explorers and developers such as Josiah Gregg, A. W. Whipple, and John Pope are discussed. The work is not only a focus on Spain's efforts to locate the fabled Cities of Gold; it also analyzes the early ex.plorers' attitudes toward the land and its richness in mineral and water wealth as well as in terms of the original inhabitants.

This was a time of robberies, range wars and Indian wars in the wide open spaces of the West. Gradually, the forces of law and order caught up with the lawbreakers, while the US army defeated the Plains Indians.

  • Legends of the West
    1 This novel is dedicated to Vivian Towlerton For the memories of good times past 2 This novel was written mostly during the year 2010 CE whilst drinking the fair-trade coffee provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington Most of the research was conducted during the year 2010 CE upon the free Wi-Fi provided by the Caffé Vita and Sizizis coffee shops in Olympia, Washington. My thanks to management and staff. It was good. 3 Excerpt from Legends of the West: Spotted Tail said, “Now, let me tell you the worst thing about the Wasicu, and the hardest thing to understand: They do not understand choice...” This caused a murmur of consternation among the Lakota. Choice was choice. What was not there to not understand? Choice is the bedrock tenet of our very view of reality. The choices a person makes are quite literally what makes that person into who they are. Who else can tell you how to be you? One follows one’s own nature and one’s own inner voice; to us this is sacrosanct. You can choose between what makes life beautiful and what makes life ugly; you can choose whether to paint yourself in a certain manner or whether to wear something made of iron — or, as was the case with the famous Cheyenne warrior Roman Nose — you could choose to never so much as touch iron. In battle you choose whether you should charge the enemy first, join the main thrust of attack, or take off on your own and try to steal his horses.

  • AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Presents Billy the Kid
    AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Presents Billy the Kid The True Story of the Orphan Teen Who Became the Most Wanted Man in the West Premieres Tuesday, January 10, 2012 9:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET on PBS “Escape was one of his great talents. When he leaves the courthouse on horseback, as he goes out of sight, he passes into legend at that moment. The story will never be the same after that.” — N. Scott Momaday, Pulitzer Prize-winning Native American author On April 28, 1881, twenty-one-year-old Henry McCarty, a.k.a. Billy the Kid, just days from being hanged for murder, outfoxed his jailors and electrified the nation with the latest in a long line of miraculous escapes. An outlaw with a deadly reputation, the young man was finally gunned down by the ambitious sheriff Pat Garrett just a few weeks later. The felling of one of the most notorious criminals of the age made front-page news and marked the end of Henry — but it was the beginning of one of the West’s most enduring legends. Demonized by the lawman that killed him, the Kid was soon mythologized by a never-ending stream of dime store novels and big-screen dramas, portrayed by everyone from Paul Newman to Roy Rogers to Emilio Estevez. But in all the tellings, Billy the Kid’s real story has been obscured. A fascinating look at the boy behind the myth, Billy the Kid, directed by John Maggio, will premiere on the PBS series AMERICAN EXPERIENCE on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 9:00 p.m.

BALL As THE FRONTIER ADYANCED WESTWARD in the nineteenth cen­ tury, the unsteady world in which these pioneers settled attracted many lawless persons. The civil lawmen of the territories pos­ sessed only limited resources with which to suppress civil disturb­ ances or pursue bandits. The posse comitatus, the body of private citizens obligated to assist local officers, often failed to overawe badmen and sometimes sympathized with the troublemakers. When outbreaks of lawlessness occurred, lawmen sought sub­ stitutes. In the late 1870s and early 1880s, Governors Lew Wal­ lace and Lionel Sheldon confronted serious outbreaks of crime in several counties of New Mexico Territory. The extraordinary degree of this violence and wrongdoing constrained these ex­ ecutives to substitute militiamen for the usual citizens in posses.

  • Billy the Kid Transcript
    Page 1 Billy the Kid Transcript Narrator: On April 28th, 1881, 21-year-old Henry McCarty, alias Billy the Kid, was just days from being hanged for murder. A promised pardon from the governor of New Mexico never materialized and Billy was now in the custody of Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett and two well-armed deputies. Drew Gomber, Historian: Thursday evening about six o'clock, there's two guards on duty. Pat Garrett went over it time and time again to not be taken in by this guy's charm. I don't care how charming he is, the first chance he gets, he'll kill the both of you and leave. Mark Gardner, Historian: Billy the Kid was extremely intelligent. He was able to get them to underestimate him time and again. Fredrick Nolan, Historian: I think he thinks, "somewhere in here, I'm gonna get out of this." Escaping was always on the agenda. Narrator: Billy the Kid had been on the run from the law since the age of 15. In just a few short years he had become the most wanted man west of the Pecos. Demonized by a popular press set on cleaning up New Mexico, Billy was portrayed as a blood- thirsty killer, a ''ruthless cuss,'' hell-bent on anarchy. Michael Wallis, Writer: They were beating the war drums. Let's get rid of that Kid. Let's hunt him down. Let's civilize this territory. Narrator: Billy the Kid came of age at the moment the myth of the Wild West was forged.
