a bilingual soundwalk with city of Gatineau councillor (Hull-Wright) Steven Moran around ‘la filature' for radio-hull 2023TRANSCRIPT OF EPISODE (this episode is a mix of English and French, below is the complete English version)(bell and breath)Claude (C ): Steven Morin, I invite you to take a sound walk with me. Steve (S): Excellent. Shall we? C: So you're a local councillor here? S: Yes. From Hull-Wright.C: Me, I'm an artist in residence here at DAIMON then I create works for the radio-hull 2023. Then I decided to take a walk with a friend, you, in French and English. The idea of a sound walk is to pay attention to all the details. For example, our feet are making a rather soft sound at the moment. It just rained here in Gatineau. You can feel all the details of life through sound.Claude: And it's going to be a bilingual conversation because Gatineau is multilingual and I'm bilingual. In fact, my family, my grandfather lived in Hull at the time. So there are lots of stories that we can tell. C: I'd start with what you're hearing right now, Steven. S: I can hear the leaves in the poplar over there. You hear construction because you always hear construction in the city center. I hear birds. I think it was a chickadee. I hear the wind. I hear the wind by itself, I think. I hear the wind in the leaves. I hear the highway and then Montcalm. Someone with a chainsaw, it sounds like. C: So that's the idea. But what's interesting about the sound walk is that you can also interact with the soundscape. So you listen to it, you perceive it, you're sensitive to... for example, the car that's just gone by. You can perceive all sorts of things with sound. For example, there are bustards ahead. We'll see if they make a sound. We're so used to seeing that our sense of hearing is sometimes a little less developed, so a sound walk is a way of sharpening our... S: With geese, you can hear them in the sky, but you don't think about them as much when they're on the ground. C: For example, the building here is interesting. The spinning mill was an old factory, the Hanson I forget the name of.S: Hanson Mills. Socks, among other things? Yes, among other things. C: Then it was converted into an artist center in the '80s and now it's AxeNéo7 and Daimon. I find it interesting that there's a cultural center in a former industrial site, that it's a way of giving new life to the building and the neighborhood.  (soundscape of children playing)S: Ruisseau de la Brasserie was really the center of a whole industrial environment. It was the beating heart of Gatineau industry. The axes were made right there. The distillery was right there and a lot of things happened on the creek. So, when we think of industry and culture, when we talk about places, obviously it's often post-industrial spaces that aren't necessarily suitable for housing, so we use them to make cultural spaces. The spinning mill was a perfect example. (urban soundscape)S: But it's clear that in this place, if there was an era. I try to imagine it, and then I hear it in my head: the hammers, the big machines, the saws, and so on. That's not the case anymore. I mean, there's no heavy industry of that kind here. The sounds would be completely different. It's fascinating to imagine what it would have been like back then. Also, you have to remember, just before World War II, there was a big homelessness crisis of what we called the homeless at the time, who were here, who were centered on the West Side. So there would even have been camps. Are those industrial sounds? But it would have been families left in poverty, in this industrial system that left them behind. It would also have been a family place. But not in the same way as now. (soundscape of children playing)C: When I came here earlier, there were a lot of children playing with their bikes. I did some sound recording, and for me it's also a discovery, because I don't know Gatineau very well. I'm an artist from Ottawa who comes here to listen... and to take part in Radio-Hull. And I find it really interesting to get caught up in Gatineau's atmosphere, culture and spaces.(sound of foot on the road)C: But speaking of sound, that's a nice one. Yeah. Tell me what just happened here.Steven: Cars going through puddles, everybody knows that sound.  So typical of after the rain. Yeah. Yeah. But also, I mean, it's asphalt. It wouldn't be the same if this were, you know, mud. It wouldn't be the same if this were grass. A car going through puddles definitely has to do with asphalt. And we forget to think… I always think it's interesting to keep in mind what was here before we built cities and what were the sounds that were possible then it's I mean, I don't think about just sounds, I think about all the spaces, the trees. Of course the sounds come with that. How would this place have been different? It would've been totally forested. So you would've had a different perspective on everything. It would've sounded very different. The sounds of a forest, you know, it would've almost certainly been a maple forest. So what were the sounds of that, right?C: Well, right now we're above what kind of tree this is, but it's not the poplars from earlier. It's a more gentle leaf.S: This is a Manitoba maple. A really big one, surprisingly.C: Now on my way here this morning, I was playing with this sound.(sound of gate)S: Another sound everybody knows.C: But this, this is so rich. And it's a gate. And we're gonna go through this gate and back to la filature…S: This makes me think it's school: The sound of school. Absolutely. I mean, 'cause I never worked in a factory, but I think people worked in factories, that's the sound of the factory closing all those probably more of a sound of beep as you slide it rather than closing like that. But that for me is the sound of school. Every school has a fence like this. Right. The click click and the,C: Is it cool in a good way or a bad way or just whatever, right?S: I love school, I'm a parent, but I love school. When as a kid maybe I would've had a different idea of it.C: You see as an artist, to me, this is a very interesting sound that I would play with, right? I would say, okay, this is a barrier. So what is the notion of what is, who's being left out? What, what, what's being protected? The sort of conceptual side, but then just the sound itself and it's, it's the richness of, of the shaking and, uh, sort of, it's really interesting artistic material.S: And funny, this is obviously metal, but I don't think you can hear the metal. Yeah, you can hear the metal in the after shake, but during the, this sound isn't necessarily clearly metallic. C: Alright, Steven, let's continue. What I'm going to do with this sound walk, this is a special way of doing the sound walk, is I'm going to insert sounds and do a little bit of composition with it so that your, interventions will bewith closeups of the sounds, which is a, a fun way to play with the notion of a space because that's what artists do is, is interpret and be playful with aesthetic experiences so that audiences can have different sensations and different ways of, in this case, listening to…(sound of a cart passing by)C: What do you hear? S: I hear a planeC: So it's going to pass over us. stereophony to pick it up. S: It's obviously something specific. In this part of Hall, there's a certain height that planes are at because they're landing or departing from the Ottawa airport. That's one thing we hear. The other thing we hear is 'biplanes', often small fun planes, coming out of the Gatineau airport. They're lower, but a different sound comes with them. But it's still a very specific pitch.C: Interesting. You're good. You pay attention to the details, because it makes a difference to know where a sound comes from, at what height is it clearer if there are clouds or not? It's all really important and interesting details, I think. So I promised at the start of our walk that I'd tell you a little story. My father, Maurice, who has sadly passed away... His father's name was Maurice and I remember we used to come here to Hull on Roy Avenue, which isn't far from here. I have a childhood memory of a fire, a wood-burning stove, because in those days, most people heated their homes by wood-burning stoves. Good morning, sir. S: Can I hear the fridge? Very typical of a convenience store. C: Is it? How's that? S: Listen? Do you know that sound? Are you in a convenience store, sir? C: Can we come in? Okay, this fridge here. Wow. Hi, I'm just taking a sound clip for a sound walk. S: He's just taking a sound clip. OK?C: Want to record the fridge. Convenience store owner: Go ahead.C: Cheers. Tell me more Steven. S: You hear the fan that is very typical of the fridge. Low ceilings. The small areas, it's very typical. I love depanneur. It's something that we take for granted. Owner: For Youtube? C: It's for a radio stationOwner: Ah, radio station 106.5 ok cool. Thank you.C: You're welcome...  S:I think we need to think about the role of the convenience store as a community center. Convenience stores are an endangered species. I used to live in Montreal, but that's the case in Hull too. Convenience stores have played and will continue to play a central role. It's what they call the third place, where people gather because there's something to do, they talk to each other, they recognize each other, they see each other. These are becoming very important community places, especially with the shrinking of public space and state-owned spaces. These third-place spaces are super important. I think we need to think hard about the role of convenience stores. C: And the sound of convenience stores. S: That's part of it. You know, the smell you get in there. The vision, it's an addiction. It's a convenience store. Everybody knows it. When you walk in, but a very typical sound. You know, the ‘sloche' machine has its noise. It's a refrigerator, it makes a noise. There's always the crooked lights that make noise. All the cash coming through the counter, it makes a noise. A sound. C: Steven, it's fascinating. I'm so glad we were able to discover this. There's another sound phenomenon that happens here, and that's dogs. S: Hello, hello. Hello. C: The little dogs make a particularly high-pitched sound and when there are three of them like that together. I call it an interesting sonic presence. S: I'd say so. You can also hear the noise of the machines, the buildings around. I don't know if I can hear them, I don't think it's air conditioners or heating, but you can hear this background noise that's really 'white noise'. I think we still need to think about sound and noise pollution, because we're in a poor neighborhood next door. The sounds would be very different. In my opinion, there's always something to be said for that. When you think about the city, you always have to think about that. (cricket sound) C: Well, we'll be back. We've done a bit of a tour of the building. The spinning mill, which is spinning, I think it has to do with thread and mending and all that. We're going to go into the building for a moment, and then we'll finish with a sound sculpture that's on site, here in front of the Daimon Artist Center. C: Hello Philippe, you know, part of the Radio Hall team, so I've been very well received here... so inside, here, it's just to feel the difference between the outside and inside space. So, what do you hear here inside? S: It's silent. It's more than silence. It's what we call it. We stop the noise. Everything is organized to stop the noise.  Very typical inside buildings. We're going to lower the noise, so the walls, it's as if they're eating the noise. You hear people talking, playing with wires, someone like that, pieces of metal, which is still someone talking. A telephone, I think. There's a noise. It's the sound of light. C: Then there's a fan over there that makes a little sound here. Yeah, that's it. S: That's what I was hearing. You can hear people.C:. the contrast between an indoor and an outdoor space, something that's really interesting, something that happens to us every day and that we don't pay much attention to. But it's a really nice experience to just stay inside. Outside. (silence)C: There's a sculpture in front of the building here by a Montreal artist. I'll find out his name. S: There isn't. There isn't a little sign. C: It's Adam Basanta. It's called Triad. Then I'm going to put my mic on like this. I invite you to listen. S: Super interesting experiment. And if you do two different ends. C; I can tell you about it. S: Sounds like different frequencies. But tell me about this one. S: You want me to tell you about here? That's interesting. Yes. Wow! C: Let's sit here and try it out. I'll go to the other end. Go ahead. S: Hi Yes, you can hear me. It's a fascinating noise in here, but there's actually something in this pipe here. I imagine it changes the sound slightly. It's fascinating the interplay of frequency and length. There's a mathematical game going on here, which we ignore or listen to, because it's so natural. But length changes frequency. C: Well, we'll stop here, since there's a work of art that has helped us listen more closely to the space here. Thank you for the sound walk. It's going to play, obviously. a Radio-hull 2023, but also on my conscious podcast because it's part of the series I'm exploring, on the sounds of modernity. So we talked about all that this morning. Thank you very much Steven Moran. S: It's always a pleasure to talk about Hull, and then it's fun to see too. C: See you soon. Thank you, Steven.*CREDITSRecorded at La Filature, Gatineau, August 30, 2023.

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 287 - Jesus, I Will Ponder Now: vv. 1-3 - Litany for Ash Wednesday: L: Man who is born of woman C: Is of few days and full of trouble. L: For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. L: He comes forth like a flower and fades away; C: He flees like a shadow and does not continue. L: In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. L: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. C: For dust you are, And to dust you shall return. L: We have been consumed by Your anger, C: And by Your wrath we are terrified. L: You have set our iniquities before You, C: Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. L: For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh. C: For dust you are, And to dust you shall return. L: Teach us, O Lord, to number our days, C: That we may gain a heart of wisdom. L: Let us pray. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, we humbly beseech You to set Your Passion, Cross and Death between Your judgment and our souls, now, and in the hour of death. C: Give us mercy and grace, and grant Your Church concord and peace, that at length we shall enjoy everlasting life and glory; for with the Father and Holy Spirit You reign, one God, now and forever. Amen. - Matthew 26: 17-35: Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.” ' ” So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them; and they prepared the Passover. When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?” He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.” And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.” And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.' But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee.” Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.” Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And so said all the disciples. - Hymn 276 - When O'er My Sins I Sorrow: vv. 1 & 3 - Homily - Hymn 287 - Jesus, I Will Ponder Now: vv. 4-6 - The Kyrie (p. 124) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect, Benedicamus & Benediction - The Collect, Benedicamus & Benediction - Hymn 593 - On My Heart Imprint Thine Image - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Jake Marzinske (Organist)

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Non-directed conceptual founding, published by Tsvi Benson-Tilsen on January 15, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. [Metadata: crossposted from. Written 13 June 2022. I'm fairly likely to not respond to comments promptly. If you're especially interested in chatting, my gmail address is: tsvibtcontact ] In trying to understand minds-in-general, we sometimes ask questions that talk about "big" things (taking "big" to ambiguously mean any of large, complex, abstract, vague, important, touches many things, applies to many contexts, "high-level"). E.g.: What is it for a mind to have thoughts or to care about stuff? How does care and thought relate? What is it to believe a proposition? Why do agents use abstractions? These "big" things such as thought, caring, propositions, beliefs, agents, abstractions, and so on, have to be analyzed and re-understood in clearer terms in order to get anywhere useful. When others make statements about these things, I'm pulled to pause their flow of thoughts and instead try to get clear on meanings. In part, that pull is because the more your thoughts use descriptions that aren't founded on words with clear meaning, the more leeway is given to your words to point at different things in different instances.[1] Main claim From talking with Sam, I've come to think that there's an important thing I hadn't seen sufficiently clearly: A description of Y that uses terms that are only as "foundational" as Y or even "less foundational" than Y, can still be useful and doesn't have to be harmful. For analyzing "big" things, such descriptions are necessary. Circular founding A description is a proposition of the form "Y is a ...". A description is founded on X if it assumes that X exists, e.g. by mentioning X, or by mentioning Z which mentions X, or by relying on X to be in the background.[2] Some descriptions of Y might be founded on Y, or on X where X is itself founded on Y. A description like that could be called circular, or in general non-directed. The circularity could be harmful. E.g., you could trick yourself into thinking you're talking about anything coherently, when really you're not: whenever you ask "Wait, what's Y?" you respond "Oh it's XZ", and you say "Z is YX", and you say "X is YZ", and you never do the work of connecting XYZ to stuff that matters, so it's all hot air. Or, you might have "Y" more densely connected to its neighbors, but not beholden to anything outside of its neighbors, so "Y" and its neighbors might drift under their own collaborative inertia and drag other ideas with them away from reality. There are probably other problems with circular founding, so, there's reason to be suspicious. But: (A) Non-directed founding can elucidate relevant structure; (B) For "big" things, it's more likely to be feasible to found somewhat-non-directedly, and especially somewhat-circularly, and less likely to be feasible to found strictly in a certain direction; and therefore (C) For analyzing and understanding "big" things, non-directed and circular founding are likely to be best-in-class among the available tools. (A): "Thing = Nexus" as a circular, non-directed, useful founding As an example, take the description of a thing as an inductive nexus of reference (more specifically, the claim that nexusness points essentially [see below] at the nexus of thingness). This description makes use of a pre-theoretic notion of the "stuff" between which there may be relations of reference, and defines "reference" in terms of what minds in general do. So the definition of nexus is founded on "stuff", which is pre-theoretically on a similar footing to "thing", making the definition of nexus somewhat circularly founded. And, the definition of nexus is founded on "mind", which is a "bigger" concept than "thing", making the definition of nexus founded on so...

And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

The Eighteenth Sunday After Trinity The Pharisees ask a Law question. Jesus asks a Gospel question. The Pharisees seek to trap Jesus in His own words. Jesus seeks to "trap" them in the saving reality of who He is as the Messiah (Matt 22:34-46). The Law requires you to "fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul" and to "love the stranger" (Deut 10:12-21). Failure to keep the Law perfectly brings judgment. On the other hand, the Gospel brings the grace of God given by Jesus Christ, that you may be blameless in the day of His return (1 Cor 1:1-9). Jesus is David's Son yet David's Lord, true God and true man. He is Love incarnate who fulfilled all the demands of God's Law on our behalf, that we might be saved from the Law's condemnation and sanctified in the Gospel's forgiveness. Thereby we see that "God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." Introit: (Psalm 122:1,6,8-9; antiphon: Ecclesiasticus 36:16-17a) Pastor: Give peace, O Lord, to those who wait for You: and let Your prophets be proven faithful. Congregation: Hear the prayer of Your servants, according to the blessing of Aaron upon Your people. P: I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!” C: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! P: For my brothers and companions' sake I will say, “Peace be within you!” C: For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. All: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. P: Give peace, O Lord, to those who wait for You: and let Your prophets be proven faithful. C: Hear the prayer of Your servants, according to the blessing of Aaron upon Your people. Collect Of The Day O God, because without You we are not able to please You, mercifully grant that Your Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. + Deuteronomy 10:12-21 + “And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, (13) and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good? (14) Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it. (15) Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. (16) Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn. (17) For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. (18) He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. (19) Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. (20) You shall fear the LORD your God. You shall serve him and hold fast to him, and by his name you shall swear. (21) He is your praise. He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen. Gradual: (Psalm 122:1,7) I was glad when they | said to me,* “Let us go to the house | of the LORD!” Peace be with- | in your walls * and security within your | towers!” +1 Corinthians 1:1-9 + Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, (2) To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: (3) Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (4) I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, (5) that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— (6) even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— (7) so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, (8) who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (9) God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. +The Lutheran Confessions Responsive Reading: The Lord's Prayer+ P: As the head of the family should teach it in a simple way to his household. What is the second request of dear true children to their dear True Father (The Second Petition)? C: Thy kingdom come. P: What does this mean? C: The kingdom of God certainly comes by itself without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may come to us also. P: How does God's kingdom come? C: God's kingdom comes when our heavenly Father gives us His Holy Spirit, so that by His grace we believe His holy Word and lead godly lives here in time and there in eternity. P: What is The Third Commandment? C: Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. P: What does this mean? C: We should fear and love God so that we do not despise preaching and His Word, but hold it sacred and gladly hear and learn it. Verse: (Psalm 117:1) P: Alleluia! Praise the LORD, all nations! C: Extol him, all peoples! Alleluia! + Matthew 22:34-46 + But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. (35) And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. (36) “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” (37) And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. (38) This is the great and first commandment. (39) And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (40) On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” (41) Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, (42) saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” (43) He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, (44) “‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet”'? (45) If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” (46) And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

Devotions on the Seven words from the cross and a prayer of the church The Prayer of the Church & the Lord's Prayer P:      Heavenly Father, you are a just God who accepts nothing less than perfection.  All too often we fail to realize how much our sins offend you.  We forget that the wages of sin truly is death.  We forget that there actually is a hell.  Lead us to recognize the seriousness of our sinfulness.  Lead us also to admit our inability to make things right with you. C:     Teach us to look to you as the only one who can make us just and right. P:      Today we are reminded not only of your justice but also of your love.  You did not spare you own Son but gave him as a ransom for each one of us.  Comfort us with the knowledge of this great love.  Give us the peace that the forgiveness of sins brings. C:     When we feel our guilt, point us to the cross, where our guilt was washed away in Jesus' blood. P:      Lord Jesus, we thank you for paying the debt that we could not pay.  We thank you for coming to earth so that we could be with you forever in heaven.  C:     For being our perfect substitute, we thank you, Lord Jesus. P:      Son of God, you offered up your body as an unblemished sacrifice for sin and commended your spirit into the hands of your Father.  Teach us to cast the cares of this brief life on our heavenly Father and commit our bodies and souls to his love. C:     Give us the courage to face death, knowing that it is the gate to our home in heaven. P:      Hear us, Lord, as we offer our personal thanks for the forgiveness that you have given us and for the home that you have won for us.       Silent prayer P:      The cross was once and instrument of death.  It is now a sign of life. C:     Dear Savior, we humbly kneel at the cross in awe of your power and of your love.  Amen.

L: In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. L: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. C: For dust you are, And to dust you shall return. L: We have been consumed by Your anger, C: And by Your wrath we are terrified. L: You have set our iniquities before You, C: Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. L: For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh. C: For dust you are, And to dust you shall return. L: Teach us, O Lord, to number our days, C: That we may gain a heart of wisdom. L: Let us pray.

C: Give us mercy and grace, and grant Your Church concord and peace, that at length we shall enjoy everlasting life and glory; for with the Father and Holy Spirit You reign, one God, now and forever. Amen. - Psalmody: Psalm 51: 2, 3 Wash Me Thoroughly S. S. Wesley: Wash me throughly from my wickedness, and forgive me all my sin. For I acknowledge my faults and my sin is ever before me. - Mark 14: 32-52: 32 They went to a place named Gethsemane. Jesus told his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 Then he took Peter, James, and John along with him and began to be troubled and distressed. 34 He said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow, even to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.” 35 Going forward a little, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 He also said, “Abba, Father, everything is possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 When he returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not strong enough to keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 Again he went away and prayed, saying the same thing. 40 When he returned, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what they should answer him. 41 He returned the third time and said to them, “Are you going to continue sleeping and resting? It is enough. The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us go. Look, my betrayer is near.” 43 Just then, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A crowd was with him, armed with swords and clubs. They were from the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders. 44 Now his betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.” 45 He went right to Jesus and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him. 46 They laid hands on him and arrested him. 47 But one of those who stood nearby drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48 Jesus responded by saying to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to capture me as you would a criminal? 49 Day after day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But this happened so that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.” 50 Then the disciples all left him and fled. 51 A certain young man was following him, wearing just a linen cloth over his naked body. They seized him, 52 but he left behind the linen cloth and fled from them naked. - Hymn 518 - Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You - Luke 22: 47-48: 47 While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd appeared, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” - Homily - Hymn 287 - Jesus, I Will Ponder Now: vv. 4-6 - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - Collect - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 593 - On My Heart Imprint Thine Image - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev.

And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 258 - Lord Jesus Christ, My Savior Blest: vv. 5-7 - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev.

For I acknowledge my faults and my sin is ever before me. - Matthew 26: 1-16: Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, that He said to His disciples, “You know that after two days is the Passover, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.” Then the chief priests, [a]the scribes, and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and plotted to take Jesus by [b]trickery and kill Him. But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.” And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.” But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him. - Hymn 272 - O Sinner, Come Thy Sin To Mourn - Psalm 32: 1-5: Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not [b]impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old Through my groaning all the day long. 4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.

This is a FREE edition of “The Kale Letter”. To get this letter 5x a week + Podcast Audio version, please subscribe by clicking the blue button. Good morning everyone! Super pumped about this one. I stole this DIRECTLY from Dale Carnegie and his book “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” (a CLASSIC that I HIGHLY recommend). I’ve been trying this tactic for a number of months now and can vouch for it 1000000%. Simply put, it works. Try this today, and let me know in the comments if it works for you as well. Oh, and the kindest thing you can do, if this DOES work for you, is SHARE THIS LETTER WITH SOMEONE ELSE :) Here’s what you do. Step 1) Identify what you are worried about, actually. This step is important, and kind of my own addition to Carnegies’ “Formula".Sometimes, I will just feel anxious, for no apparent reason!What’s up with that?! Anyone agree?It’s very important, in that moment, to do a couple simple things. A) Might sound stupid, but EAT SOMETHING (75% of the time I’m just hungry, lol)B) Might sound stupider, but TAKE A NAP (20% of the time I’m just tired, lol)C) For the other 5%, actually stop, take a deep breath. Go on a walk. Grab a coffee. And THINKAnother one of my favorite books “Thinking Fast & Slow” talks about the fact that we have 2 brains.One brain is reactionary and automatic.The other is slow, deliberate, and allows for reasoned thought. DEFINITELY need to use your 2nd “slow brain” for this one to dig into what you are actually worried about :)Step 2) Picture the worst case scenario.This is where the magic happens. You need to actually stop and think about everything going HORRIBLY wrong. What if that thing you are worried about actually happened + ALL THESE OTHER BAD THINGS happened too? Then what?Now, at this point, you might be thinking I’m crazy. That’s okay, just stay with me. Let me illustrate an actual example before we get on to #3 where it all will make sense. The other day we almost missed payroll.I know. The same thoughts went through my head that you’re probably thinking now.WTF.Sweaty palms. “How did we get here?”Stupid BS like that, that doesn’t help anyone. So I went into step 2, (note) it hurts at first. READ THIS: You have to actually VISUALIZE IT like it’s HAPPENED TO YOU, and ACCEPT THAT THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED, AS A FACT - that’s important. — We miss payroll— people start complaining— half the staff quits— customers get left in the dust— refunds spike— complaints spike— our credit cards start declining— I have to sell my house and live in a box on the street— my wife divorces meOKAY OKAY OKAY hahahah I went a little TOO far on that one, but you get the point!!!!!!!!! Step 3) How this makes you feel SO MUCH BETTEROnce you’ve pictured everything going to actual hell in a hand basket…The magic starts. There’s nothing else to worry about. You’ve already accepted that everything hit the fan, that the worst case scenario actually happened. Your brain now LITERALLY only has one direction to go in. UP. Before, it was scattered everywhere, random negative thoughts flying around like a stray fart in the wind.And now, everything is crystal clear. Your brain simply starts asking the question, now what?Let’s say all that bad stuff happened above…My example was extreme but let’s just go with it. — We get thrown out on the street and my wife threatens to divorce me…“okay, well, she loves me way to much to leave me, so I’m good there, and I’m pretty sure that if I just moved money from here to here we’d never actually get evicted, + isn’t it illegal to evict people right now?”^^ as you can see these are my actual thoughts that come up almost automatically and start to make you feel better…— refunds spike— complaints spike— our credit cards start declining“well couldn’t I just personally call every customer and be honest with them and tell them that I would personally make it right, and then make it right? Honestly, that might IMPROVE the reputation of the company not hurt us…”— We miss payroll— people start complaining— half the staff quits“well, couldn’t I just go liquidate a couple Bitcoin, or even better yet get a LOAN against my Bitcoin?? hmm… that might work! We might be good to go!”I could go on, but do you see it working??? It’s almost automatic! THE REASON THIS WORKS IS SIMPLE.Whether you believe it or not. Whether the World has beaten you down a lot, or not. YOU ARE A FIGHTER.When your back is against the wall. When everything else has caved in around you. And it’s simply survive or die. You SURVIVE. That’s just how you are WIRED. So all you have to do to harness this BASIC INSTINCT is to GO TO THAT DARK PLACE with your EYES WIDE OPEN.PICTURE IT GOING BADLY. And you will automatically find a way out. Welp, that's enough words for one day. Go TRY IT. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. Love always.Kalep.s. The payroll thing really was an accounting issue, lol, the company is doing great. Our tax bill was just massive so we had to move some money around. No worries.p.s.s. I’m guessing this HELPED a few of you. If it didn’t, I should probably quit writing because I KNOW this works (from experience). So if it helped you please COMMENT that it did but most importantly, subscribe and SHARE this with AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT! THANK YOU!

We got caught! But found something pretty cool to fix up and use later on. I'll give you a hint it has to deal with the hand you are dealt. Material culture is all around us and is important too. Cast Iron is all forms, represent to me blackness, forged in fire, and can be useful in so many ways than one realizes. If you got it (cast iron) its so special I know it can be scary, all rusty and crusty- but see beyond that to the beauty before time took advantage. They say iron sharpens iron after all, right. Well you gotta be iron to fix iron, so see the links below for tips. The pinterest link is for a visiual on what our IRON MADIEN looks like. Material culture is what we use, culture is what makes us who we are. Culture is beatiful and can at times be compartmentalized, ya know like good prep should be. The way all the cultures you identify with combine and show up for you is what makes you, YOU! And you are amazing, unless you are prejudice (people) or racist(systems)- aint nobody got time for that and something will be said or done about that! Bless Up and Stay Sharp! -C For more info on how to connect to our community check out https://www.coffeecoloredconcepts.com/ and https://dacostacorrine.wixsite.com/coffeecoloredconvos Links for this episode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast-iron_cookware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6Tz3HnnCFs https://www.pinterest.com/pin/398990848213521672/

And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!” - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 205 - If Thou But Trust in God To Guide Thee: vv. 5-7 - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev.
