Hemmed In by Podcast startup by Robin Aylor

In the account of Noah and the flood, we must see that our God takes sin and rebellion seriously. And, we see His grace to preserve a remnant; ones who will recreate a community of worshippers from the wreckage.

På et splitsekund forsvinder alt i et uendeligt lys for Dina Bjørn. En ulykke på langrendsski i Norge giver hende en nærdødsoplevelse.Som ung har hun dødsangst, og pludselig står Dina i sit livs mareridt. “Det er ikke min datter,” siger Dinas mor, da hun først ser Dina efter skiulykken. Kvæstelserne har gjort hende ukendelig. Piskesmæld, hjernerystelse og ekstreme smerter er nu hendes virkelighed.Efter ulykken er Dinas hverdag præget af hjernerystelsen, der kræver ro og omsorg. Hun kan derfor ikke vende tilbage til en hverdag med fuldtidsarbejde, men Dinas situation passer ikke ind i velfærdssamfundets kasser.“Er det nok bare at være menneske?”, spørger Dina sig selv, mens hun mærker en ulmende skam over at være på kanten af samfundet.Med farens kærlige påmindelse om at holde snuden i sporet, bliver Dina uddannet økologisk landkvinde fra Kalø Økologisk Landbrugsskole. Det baner vejen til en hverdag i tæt kontakt med planter og dyr, hvor hun finder det mentale frirum, hun har brug for.Hør desuden Loa Satie og Dina tale om:Hjernerystelsens økonomiske og sociale konsekvenserNatur, meditation og selvomsorgDrømmen om at blive sexologEr der økonomi i at producere mad til mennesker?Glæden ved at så et frø og styrke forbindelsen til naturenGå til have ved Loa Satie på Djursland med Dina Bjørn som underviserKØB ADGANG TIL EKSKLUSIV EKSTRAEPISODE MED DINA BJØRN:Vi taler om ayauhuasca-ceremonien i Amazonas og om Sex And The City.Find den herDENNE EPISODES SPONSOR ER LIVSSTILSBRANDED MARTINYS:Prøv de nye hudplejeprodukter Daily Soothe & Hydrate Serum og Daily Nourish & Glow Oil som jeg har testet de sidste par måneder.

In which the state competes with Colorado or Utah or Montana or Wyoming for conventions and competitions and ski clubs by the planeload. In which Washington skiing matters to anyone other than Washington skiers.But this is not the reality we live in. Because despite several defining factors shared by other great ski regions – plentiful snowfall, proximity to a large airport, locations along major highways, plentiful natural snow, large vertical drops – the state's ski areas are, for the most part, day-drivers. There is little slopeside lodging, nothing approximating a pedestrian base village. Just scattered cabins, ubiquitous RV lots, hotels 40 miles from the lifts.Which, when Washington was a scenic American backwater, was fine. But Seattle is the fastest-growing big city in America. And those new arrivals have money to spend: per-capita personal income in the region has more than doubled in the past 20 years, from $39,965 annually in 2003 to $89,274 today, a rate that has significantly outpaced inflation. Thank Amazon or Microsoft or Starbucks or Boeing. But whatever's driving this general affluence, the region's ski infrastructure has simultaneously benefitted from it and failed to keep up.There are good reasons that Vail (Stevens Pass) and Alterra (Crystal) and Boyne (Summit at Snoqualmie) all own ski areas within Seattle's orbit – it's a rabid and monied market, and one with a reliable enough snowtrain that Stevens Pass owns exactly two snowguns. Snoqualmie doesn't have any (well, a few for their tubing park). All of these companies know how to build resorts. But they can't do it in Washington. Hemmed in by national parks or NIMBYs or terrain too severe for building, they are stuck with powder-day and weekend parades of SUVs dozens of miles long.Which takes us to the purpose of this podcast. What is the future of Washington skiing? That it should continue unchanged seems an insane proposition. But absent large-scale infrastructure investment, the state's Seattle-adjacent ski areas have had to get creative to manage crowds. Crystal's season pass price nearly tripled in just two years. Summit at Snoqualmie is trying to build its way out with ever-more, ever-more-high-capacity lifts. And Stevens Pass follows the mothership's policy of limiting day tickets even as access remains unlimited on a variety of highly affordable Epic Passes.Washington will likely never be an epicenter of destination ski resorts like the Wasatch or Summit County or Tahoe. But it does need to evolve into something other than what it is right now: a big-mountain, high-traffic region that is trying to pretend like it's Michigan's Upper Peninsula, isolated and depopulated and wild. Stevens Pass will be an important character in this drama, creating one version of what it means to be a busy Pacific Northwest Ski area in the so-far eruptive 2020s. Hang on.What we talked aboutStevens Pass' relationship to Whistler; whether the ski area has jumped regional destination status; the ski area's lower-than-average snowfall this past season; the often treacherous but indispensable US-2; earning back trust after you lose it; working the 2002 Olympics; Beaver Creek and the art and importance of grooming; why Galbraith volunteered to work at Stevens Pass when everything started to go sideways during the 2021-22 ski season; the moment the ski area turned around; rethinking parking; employee housing; lodging; RV life; the Kehr's chairlift upgrade; why Stevens Pass is upgrading Kehr's before the even older Seventh Heaven lift; thoughts on replacing Seventh Heaven; the unique up-and-over Double Diamond/Southern Cross lift and whether a future version would still combine the two lifts or upgrade to a detach; potential expansions and lift additions; the masterplan; Stevens Pass snowmaking “system”; the night-skiing footprint; why Stevens Pass still has its own Epic Pass and why the mountain remains unlimited on the Epic Local Pass; comparing Crystal and Stevens' varying responses to Washington's population explosion; and limiting lift ticket sales.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewAt some point, we'll be able to stop discussing the disastrous start to Stevens Pass' 2021-22 ski season. But, to both set context around Galbraith's arrival and to distance her from the genesis of the issues, I'll reset it one more time. Gregory Scruggs, writing in The Seattle Times last year:After a delayed start to the season, snow hammered the Cascades during the [2021]holiday week. Severely understaffed, Stevens Pass struggled to open most of its chairlifts for six weeks, including those serving the popular backside terrain.Vail Resorts, which bought Stevens Pass in 2018, had sold a record number of its season pass product, the Epic Pass, in the run-up to the 2021-22 winter, leaving thousands of Washington residents claiming that they had prepaid for a product they couldn't use. A Change.org petition titled “Hold Vail Resorts Accountable” generated over 45,000 signatures. Over 400 state residents filed complaints against Vail Resorts with the state Attorney General's office. In early January, VailDaily reported that Vail's stock price was underperforming by 25%, with analysts attributing the drop in part to an avalanche of consumer ire about mismanagement at resorts across the country, including Stevens Pass.On Jan. 12, Vail Resorts fired then-general manager Tom Pettigrew and announced that [Tom] Fortune would temporarily relocate from his role as general manager at Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe, California, to right the ship at Stevens Pass.Fortune, the current head of Heavenly and Vail's Tahoe Region, had grown up at the ski area, and Stevens' resurrection constituted a deeply personal mission. He laid out the whole experience when he joined The Storm Skiing Podcast back in April. But after jump-starting the machine, he had to get back to Tahoe. Enter Galbraith, who had worked her way up through the Vail ranks and earned her first shot as a mountain general manager last June. Scruggs wrote a follow-up article this past January, to check in on Stevens and assess her first half-year as resort lead:Galbraith, 42, was brought in to help right the ship last season under interim general manager Tom Fortune as Stevens Pass struggled to operate at full capacity, with staff shortages leading to long lines, closed terrain and irate season pass holders. In May, Galbraith became general manager, and by all accounts the guest experience has improved dramatically since its nadir one year ago. For longtime Stevens Pass regulars, their home mountain feels back to normal, with all 10 chairlifts spinning and ski runs open every day, conditions permitting, and lodges fully open for business. And more promised capital upgrades from deep-pocketed Vail are on the way.“Those memories from last year are still very front of mind,” said Galbraith, from her office overlooking the mountain, where a David Horsey cartoon featuring the abominable snowman lampooning the Stevens Pass debacle is tacked above her desk next to a quote from Gen. George S. Patton. …While customers signed a Change.org petition to hold Vail Resorts accountable last winter and filed consumer complaints with the state attorney general, Stevens Pass is generally earning higher marks under Galbraith's tenure.“After last year's D-plus effort, I give this year a solid B-plus,” said Will Roberts, of Edmonds, via email. “My family is having fun and we are happy to come to Stevens Pass.”So, with a season behind her, how was it going? While the Epic and Ikon passes have somewhat scrambled the traditional who-gets-attention calculus, skiers outside of the Pacific Northwest rarely hear about the region's ski areas unless things get terrible. A heat wave ends Timberline's famous summer season three weeks early. The unlimited-Ikon-Base-Pass-inspired Crystal Mountain meltdown of 2020. Stevens Pass goes sideways. When the national ski media ignores the PNW, that typically means everything's going OK.And we didn't hear much about Stevens this year, did we? Lift aficionados are aware of the Kehr's chairlift upgrade. Powderchasers know the ski area came in significantly under its annual snowfall average despite bomber conditions throughout the West. Locals know that the ski area lost several days to road shutdowns on notoriously dicey US 2. But the rest of us mostly forgot about the joint, and for Vail Resorts, that was probably the best possible outcome.Questions I wish I'd askedIf I'd had more time, or if this interview had been 10 years earlier, or if the mountain hadn't been shuffled among owners in the interim, we surely would have discussed the 2012 Tunnel Creek avalanche. The incident killed three skiers in the popular backcountry area adjacent to Stevens Pass. This Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times feature story by John Branch offers a definitive account of what happened that day. It is a long but essential read, and basically scared me away from the backcountry forever.Why you should ski Stevens PassUsually Facebook is a wasteland overrun by morons who either lack brains, lack empathy, or both. As though someone had flushed the contents of the DSM-5 into the digital netherworld. But once in a while, a flash of brilliance. I observed such an exchange around the time Vail Resorts purchased Stevens Pass in 2018. I can't find the original conversation, so I'll paraphrase:PERSON 1: This is terrible, I don't want a bunch of Vail skiers overrunning my ski area.PERSON 2: You have nothing to worry about. No one is coming from Colorado to ski Stevens Pass. Vail is buying it so that Stevens regulars will go to Park City/Vail/Breckenridge/Whistler on vacation.Person two was right, of course, to an extent. Sure, Colorado or Utah skiers are generally happy reminding everyone that they live in Colorado or Utah. But to an Epic Pass holder living in, say, Pennsylvania or Michigan or New York or Wisconsin, an 1,800-foot, 1,100-acre ski area that averages 460 inches of snow annually sounds like a rowdy good time worth traveling for. Particularly since that ski area is pretty easy to reach via Seattle.I asked Galbraith whether, under the Epic Pass, Stevens had begun to attract more destination guests. She said that it had. It is likely a modest increase, and Stevens Pass will never offer the slopeside condos and snow quality of Utah or Colorado. But it is a revered ski center in a gorgeous natural setting with fierce skiing and a well-defined locals' culture. In our checklist era that the Epic Pass has enabled and defined, Stevens Pass is one mountain that every skier ought to hit eventually.Podcast NotesOn Washington's ski area landscapeWashington has just 16 ski areas and nearly 8 million residents. That gives the state one of the lowest numbers of ski areas, by geographic or population size, of any major ski state:While some of the state's ski areas are quite large, only 11 have chairlifts:We have a better chance of seeing Loup Loup on the Epic Pass than we do of ever building another ski area in Washington State.

The children of Israel, about two million of them, were hemmed in on every side. They felt the ‘squeeze' of God. The army of Egypt in pursuit behind, monstrous walls of water on either side, and an unknown future in the wilderness ahead. Some decisions are irreversible. The Israelites could not un-ring this bell. They made their choice and were now committed. Hemmed in between giant walls of tenuous circumstances threatening collapse whenever the winds of fate changed their direction. They could never return to Egypt. There was only one, singular option now… go forward!

"In the Footsteps of the Few - The Power of a Principled Life" Not Where We Were - Finding Ourselves Somewhere Else It seems that we have some vague and rather ethereal sense of where we're going in this thing called life.  For the more contemplative soul, that sense might be quite refined.  For the casual traveler, it might be a bit more nebulous and scattered.  For many, where they're going is defined by the tasks of the day, rather than enlarged by a vision for tomorrow. In many cases where we're going is far more rigorously defined by all the places where we don't want to go, rather than the places where we do want to go.  At other times its definition is rather handily shaped by the opinions of others, or it's carved directly from the bedrock of the value systems that have been built into our lives throughout the whole of our lives.  For others, it's based on the need to avoid the pain of our past or somehow prove our worth in the face of a self-image that lays battered and bloodied.  Vague or refined, we all have some sense of where we're going.  And too often, we find ourselves ending up someplace else. Some of us are not necessarily in conscious pursuit of wherever this place is.  We have this instinctually primal sense that it's there and we intuitively assume that our path will take a natural course to wherever that place is.  Then, there are others of us who are myopically focused on where we're going to the degree that everything that we do is wholly defined by that singularly beguiling destination.  Some of the more adventurous souls among us nimbly pursue that destination, spiritedly pulling in as much of everything that we can along the way to accentuate both the journey as well as the destination.  In whatever way we do it, we all have some sense of where we're going.  And too often, we find ourselves ending up someplace else.    The Detours We Create Yet, life is not so predictable as to always wind its way to the places that we presumed it to be going.  There are those times when where we were going was bafflingly mistaken as some sort of final destination when in reality it was only a step to a final destination.  At other times the place where we're going is really a destination that we had fabricated because the place to which life had originally called us appeared too big, or too far, or too steep, or simply impossible in whatever way our limited vision happened to interpret it.  At such times we craft some other less intimidating and thoroughly unfulfilling destination.  Sometimes our destination is to set a course away from our destination so that we can dispense with whatever responsibility or obligation our original destination might have demanded of us.  And then in the magic of life, there are those times where we have actually pursued some authentic destination with such rigorous tenacity that the trajectory of our efforts has catapulted us past our destination to places that are everything of our furthest and fondest imagination.  However, it might play out, we're all headed somewhere.   The Detours Life Creates But then there are those other times when life takes a sharp turn that seems little of our actions, nothing of our destination, but everything of circumstances designed to kill our journey and crush our destination long before we get within arm's length of it.  There's a sense that something intrinsically unjust, stealthy and evil is always about and on the prowl, and whatever it is, it's bound to show up if it hasn't already.  When it does, it undoes everything that we thought was secure and certain, wreaking havoc on whatever our journey had been to that point.  And to whatever degree it wrecks the road underneath our feet, we're left in a blurring trauma that renders our journey disjointed, our destination uncertain, and our lives dispirited.   The Explanation of Detours Missed How It Happens Yet, more often than not it's the not the obvious shifts in our journey that are the core problem.  Sure, life shows up and we get shoved down.  There's no question that the natural ebb and flow of life, whether it be titanic or miniscule, will happen to us.  Despite our frequently ego-centric inclinations to the contrary, we are not so shrewd or ingenious as to be able to traverse life in a manner that deftly side-steps everything that comes at us.  We don't dance as well as we think we do.  Our ingenuity falls prey to our arrogance, and the winds that we assumed to be reliable often shift and drive our genius toward some rocky shoal.  And so, life will fall upon us, or ram against us, or pull the ground out from under us, or wreck us.   Casual and Careless Yet, more often than not, the explanation doesn't rest in life having shown up.  The much more poignant issue is that too often we are passive, flabby and lax in rigorously living out our lives.  We're far too casual and careless.  Somehow, somewhere the exquisite sanctity of life and the priceless privilege of living it out was supplanted with some sense that it's too much work or that it's not going to work, so why try?  The gift is lost in the grind and we lose a sustaining sense of gratitude.  We get caught in the shallows, forgetting that the deepest waters hold the greatest treasures.  But we would rather forage for trinkets because treasures are too stubborn to just hand themselves to us and we will not succumb to such preposterous demands.  The shallows become our calling when they are nothing more than our coffin.  Therefore, we drift without knowing that we're drifting because we're no longer paying attention.  We come to believe that we are living a life of great things because it is too overwhelming to embrace the truth that we have forfeited great things.  The outcome of such passive living is that we end up finding ourselves somewhere else without ever seeing it coming.   Preoccupied with Pabulum Too often we're too preoccupied with pabulum.  We're tediously engaged with tiny things and we're caught in the tedium of minutia because we can gather these things around us and control them when the bigger things are out of our control.  Too frequently we're goaded by the fear of big dreams and massive possibilities, so we dumb down our lives to anesthetize those fears.  There's plenty of pablum to go around.  Therefore, we assume that if we collect sufficient quantities of it, it will add up to something bigger than pablum.  Yet, dreams are never constructed of pablum and our fears are never put at bay by any collection of it, regardless of how massive.  It is an escape, but it is never an answer.  It's a detour, but it is never a destination.  It is an imitation of what we are attempting to avoid.  Subsequently, pablum gives us a sense that we can circumvent everything that we fear and still achieve everything that we dream.  We're caught in small things, and the outcome is that we end up finding ourselves somewhere else without ever seeing it coming.   Along for the Ride Frequently we presume that we're some docile passenger along for a ride that's going wherever it's going, so we just let it go to wherever that place is.  We freely surrender to passivity which is an invitation to meaninglessness.  And meaninglessness is the death of the soul itself.  Life is a river, we say.  And the best course of action is to navigate it because entertaining the far-fetched notion of swimming against it is utterly preposterous.   Assuming that we are along for the ride releases us from any accountability for the ride and where it might end up.  We are innocent.  Or we're victims of circumstance.  Or our families put us here because they didn't know any other place to put us.  Or we're simply being obedient to whatever we've subjected ourselves to.    Assuming we're on a ride that we can't direct, the outcome is that we end up finding ourselves somewhere else without ever seeing it coming.        The Walls of Denial At other times, we live in the constructed confines erected from the raw material of denial, causing us to live out a life that is in denial of life itself.  We become squatters living in a squatter's camp constructed by the flimsy materials of justification, rationalization, blame-placing and projecting.  We pull in the walls due to the reality that materials of this sort are always pulling inward because they will die if we dare to press them outward.  Hemmed in by walls of this sort, the world around us is shut out and moves on without our awareness of it.  We live in walls that we pretend are horizons, or vast doorways that open to massive expanses and marvelous places.  In time, we come to believe that they are not walls at all as we've visualized them as something that they will never be.  We then live out our lives in these confining hovels, convinced that we are forging great mountains and running in wild places.  The outcome is that we end up finding ourselves somewhere else without ever seeing it coming.          Ending Up Where We Wish to Be We will end up somewhere.  The fact that we have a destination is irrefutable as life is a journey that presents us with no option other than the journey.  We may decide that the nature and course of the journey is irrelevant, and we may take a backseat to passivity.  If we do, we have no right to complain when we end up in some place other than what we may have thought or preferred. Yet, we can recognize that we are not automatons subject to the flux of the world within which we have found ourselves.  It would seem advisable to recognize that we have an obligation to the course that our life is taking, and that along with that obligation we have been granted a profound degree of power to bring to the course.  If we imprudently succumb to carelessness, or become engrossed by pabulum, or if we just let the ride go wherever circumstances take it, or if we pull close the walls of denial this thing that we call life will wind itself to wherever it's going with no one at the helm.  And that kind of destination cannot be good. We would be wise to inventory our lives and determine if we are in some way large or small participating in any of these behaviors.  If so, we need to root them out and expunge them from our lives.  Reclaiming a sense of vision, and then seizing our lives with discipline and intentionality will set us on a path that will land us in places that we've dreamt to land.  If we don't, the place we land may not be on any land that we even remotely recognize. 

Get ready to Turn It Up because the Rumors are true - we are celebrating two pop culture icons of the 2000s: Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan! Join Joel and David for a bubbly, nostalgic dive into the debut album eras of "Paris" and "Speak".  As one of the first new mega celebrities of the new century, socialite turned reality TV pioneer, entrepreneur, DJ, actress and popstar; Paris Hilton was inescapable in the 2000s. At the height of her fame, she did what any decent celebrity would do and released a pop album crafted by some of the industry's biggest hitmakers including Scott Storch (Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera) to JR Rotem (Rihanna). The "Paris" album remains a pristine party record, glistening with hip-hop infused club bangers like 'Turn It Up' and the breezy reggae bop 'Stars Are Blind' as well as spiky pop-rock moments like 'Nothing in This World' and 'Screwed' (insert Joel voice: "Justice for Haylie Duff!").  Disney and "Mean Girls" star Lindsay Lohan was always destined to release music alongside her blossoming film career. Her huge mainstream debut album "Speak" arrived in the year she turned 18 after a steady tease of her music through soundtracks for "Freaky Friday", "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" and "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement". Hemmed by Kara Dioguardi (songwriting queen for pop-rock stars of this time) and John Shanks (Ashlee Simpson), this guitar-pop driven coming-of-age album is packed full of emotions. Flip a bird at the paparazzi with 'Rumors', scream at your ex with 'Over', and get what you want with corkers like 'Speak' and 'First'!  If you're liking what we do, don't forget to rate, review and subscribe on your fave platforms.

"In the Footsteps of the Few - The Power of a Principled Life" Not Where We Were - Finding Ourselves Somewhere Else It seems that we have some vague and rather ethereal sense of where we're going in this thing called life.  For the more contemplative soul, that sense might be quite refined.  For the casual traveler, it might be a bit more nebulous and scattered.  For many, where they're going is defined by the tasks of the day, rather than enlarged by a vision for tomorrow. In many cases where we're going is far more rigorously defined by all the places where we don't want to go, rather than the places where we do want to go.  At other times its definition is rather handily shaped by the opinions of others, or it's carved directly from the bedrock of the value systems that have been built into our lives throughout the whole of our lives.  For others, it's based on the need to avoid the pain of our past or somehow prove our worth in the face of a self-image that lays battered and bloodied.  Vague or refined, we all have some sense of where we're going.  And too often, we find ourselves ending up someplace else. Some of us are not necessarily in conscious pursuit of wherever this place is.  We have this instinctually primal sense that it's there and we intuitively assume that our path will take a natural course to wherever that place is.  Then, there are others of us who are myopically focused on where we're going to the degree that everything that we do is wholly defined by that singularly beguiling destination.  Some of the more adventurous souls among us nimbly pursue that destination, spiritedly pulling in as much of everything that we can along the way to accentuate both the journey as well as the destination.  In whatever way we do it, we all have some sense of where we're going.  And too often, we find ourselves ending up someplace else.    The Detours We Create Yet, life is not so predictable as to always wind its way to the places that we presumed it to be going.  There are those times when where we were going was bafflingly mistaken as some sort of final destination when in reality it was only a step to a final destination.  At other times the place where we're going is really a destination that we had fabricated because the place to which life had originally called us appeared too big, or too far, or too steep, or simply impossible in whatever way our limited vision happened to interpret it.  At such times we craft some other less intimidating and thoroughly unfulfilling destination.  Sometimes our destination is to set a course away from our destination so that we can dispense with whatever responsibility or obligation our original destination might have demanded of us.  And then in the magic of life, there are those times where we have actually pursued some authentic destination with such rigorous tenacity that the trajectory of our efforts has catapulted us past our destination to places that are everything of our furthest and fondest imagination.  However, it might play out, we're all headed somewhere.   The Detours Life Creates But then there are those other times when life takes a sharp turn that seems little of our actions, nothing of our destination, but everything of circumstances designed to kill our journey and crush our destination long before we get within arm's length of it.  There's a sense that something intrinsically unjust, stealthy and evil is always about and on the prowl, and whatever it is, it's bound to show up if it hasn't already.  When it does, it undoes everything that we thought was secure and certain, wreaking havoc on whatever our journey had been to that point.  And to whatever degree it wrecks the road underneath our feet, we're left in a blurring trauma that renders our journey disjointed, our destination uncertain, and our lives dispirited.   The Explanation of Detours Missed How It Happens Yet, more often than not it's the not the obvious shifts in our journey that are the core problem.  Sure, life shows up and we get shoved down.  There's no question that the natural ebb and flow of life, whether it be titanic or miniscule, will happen to us.  Despite our frequently ego-centric inclinations to the contrary, we are not so shrewd or ingenious as to be able to traverse life in a manner that deftly side-steps everything that comes at us.  We don't dance as well as we think we do.  Our ingenuity falls prey to our arrogance, and the winds that we assumed to be reliable often shift and drive our genius toward some rocky shoal.  And so, life will fall upon us, or ram against us, or pull the ground out from under us, or wreck us.   Casual and Careless Yet, more often than not, the explanation doesn't rest in life having shown up.  The much more poignant issue is that too often we are passive, flabby and lax in rigorously living out our lives.  We're far too casual and careless.  Somehow, somewhere the exquisite sanctity of life and the priceless privilege of living it out was supplanted with some sense that it's too much work or that it's not going to work, so why try?  The gift is lost in the grind and we lose a sustaining sense of gratitude.  We get caught in the shallows, forgetting that the deepest waters hold the greatest treasures.  But we would rather forage for trinkets because treasures are too stubborn to just hand themselves to us and we will not succumb to such preposterous demands.  The shallows become our calling when they are nothing more than our coffin.  Therefore, we drift without knowing that we're drifting because we're no longer paying attention.  We come to believe that we are living a life of great things because it is too overwhelming to embrace the truth that we have forfeited great things.  The outcome of such passive living is that we end up finding ourselves somewhere else without ever seeing it coming.   Preoccupied with Pabulum Too often we're too preoccupied with pabulum.  We're tediously engaged with tiny things and we're caught in the tedium of minutia because we can gather these things around us and control them when the bigger things are out of our control.  Too frequently we're goaded by the fear of big dreams and massive possibilities, so we dumb down our lives to anesthetize those fears.  There's plenty of pablum to go around.  Therefore, we assume that if we collect sufficient quantities of it, it will add up to something bigger than pablum.  Yet, dreams are never constructed of pablum and our fears are never put at bay by any collection of it, regardless of how massive.  It is an escape, but it is never an answer.  It's a detour, but it is never a destination.  It is an imitation of what we are attempting to avoid.  Subsequently, pablum gives us a sense that we can circumvent everything that we fear and still achieve everything that we dream.  We're caught in small things, and the outcome is that we end up finding ourselves somewhere else without ever seeing it coming.   Along for the Ride Frequently we presume that we're some docile passenger along for a ride that's going wherever it's going, so we just let it go to wherever that place is.  We freely surrender to passivity which is an invitation to meaninglessness.  And meaninglessness is the death of the soul itself.  Life is a river, we say.  And the best course of action is to navigate it because entertaining the far-fetched notion of swimming against it is utterly preposterous.   Assuming that we are along for the ride releases us from any accountability for the ride and where it might end up.  We are innocent.  Or we're victims of circumstance.  Or our families put us here because they didn't know any other place to put us.  Or we're simply being obedient to whatever we've subjected ourselves to.    Assuming we're on a ride that we can't direct, the outcome is that we end up finding ourselves somewhere else without ever seeing it coming.        The Walls of Denial At other times, we live in the constructed confines erected from the raw material of denial, causing us to live out a life that is in denial of life itself.  We become squatters living in a squatter's camp constructed by the flimsy materials of justification, rationalization, blame-placing and projecting.  We pull in the walls due to the reality that materials of this sort are always pulling inward because they will die if we dare to press them outward.  Hemmed in by walls of this sort, the world around us is shut out and moves on without our awareness of it.  We live in walls that we pretend are horizons, or vast doorways that open to massive expanses and marvelous places.  In time, we come to believe that they are not walls at all as we've visualized them as something that they will never be.  We then live out our lives in these confining hovels, convinced that we are forging great mountains and running in wild places.  The outcome is that we end up finding ourselves somewhere else without ever seeing it coming.          Ending Up Where We Wish to Be We will end up somewhere.  The fact that we have a destination is irrefutable as life is a journey that presents us with no option other than the journey.  We may decide that the nature and course of the journey is irrelevant, and we may take a backseat to passivity.  If we do, we have no right to complain when we end up in some place other than what we may have thought or preferred. Yet, we can recognize that we are not automatons subject to the flux of the world within which we have found ourselves.  It would seem advisable to recognize that we have an obligation to the course that our life is taking, and that along with that obligation we have been granted a profound degree of power to bring to the course.  If we imprudently succumb to carelessness, or become engrossed by pabulum, or if we just let the ride go wherever circumstances take it, or if we pull close the walls of denial this thing that we call life will wind itself to wherever it's going with no one at the helm.  And that kind of destination cannot be good. We would be wise to inventory our lives and determine if we are in some way large or small participating in any of these behaviors.  If so, we need to root them out and expunge them from our lives.  Reclaiming a sense of vision, and then seizing our lives with discipline and intentionality will set us on a path that will land us in places that we've dreamt to land.  If we don't, the place we land may not be on any land that we even remotely recognize.

Not Hemmed In  2 Corinthians 4:7-8 By Brother Randy Rigney

Living with our faith on display is challenging - especially in the face of a crisis. Shortly after purchasing a telecom business, I found myself in the middle of a full-blown crisis. I had bills to pay, friends and family who had invested in my business, and no visible prospects to right the ship. That's when God stepped in and brought me back to him. Listen to part one of this story, and then come back to discover what God did.

“How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! “ Matthew 23:37You know, when a hen gathers her chicks underneath her to protect them and they are not willing, that is a major problem. I just love to watch a young mother when she has bathed her beautiful baby... And when she's bathed that baby, she wraps that baby tightly up and it looks so snug and so secure.I looked up, Hemmed in - You and I need to be hemmed in by the Lord today. Hemmed in means to be surrounded or restricted, a restricted movement of someone... and that just makes you feel so secure, doesn't it? People are so distressed today, they are so loose - There is just nothing secure, nothing sure. When I go to Israel, there is a little church on the Mount of Olives, a small little church that overlooks the Kidron Valley and you can see the Temple Mount from there - where Solomon's Temple was. Jesus sat there and that is where He said, “I would just love to gather you together but you are not willing.” I want to say to you today, let the Lord hem you in. Let Him look after you like a mother hen looks after her little chicks - Don't push away from Him.You know, a couple of nights ago, we were driving home. It was a rough road, it had been raining, it was dark, the traffic was hectic and there were potholes everywhere. You couldn't ask for a worse night... The road was extremely busy. People were trying to get home, lights flashing everywhere - it was a terrible scenario to be in. We didn't really know where we were going because there were these massive signboards, “Pull over to the left”, “Stop!” We didn't know what to do but there was a huge 30-ton pantechnicon, a big lorry in front of us. We decided we were going to tuck in behind him. He had massive red brake lights and every time he came up against a pothole, he put his brakes on and we knew there was a pothole coming and we slowed down. That driver, I wish I could have shaken him by the hand but it wasn't possible. You know we just settled in behind him and he took us safely to our destination.I want to say to you today, why don't you and I allow Jesus to guide us, He wants to. Let's just allow Him to look after us and wrap us up, nice and tight, and take us to our destination.Have a wonderful day.God bless you and goodbye.

The Globeville and Elyria-Swansea (GES) neighborhoods never seem to get a fair shake. Hemmed in by industrial polluters, highways, and massive commercial real estate developments, the area has long been among the poorest and most marginalized in the city. So when the City of Denver suspended work on one piece of the redevelopment of the new National Western Center during the pandemic, they saw an opportunity to claim some community control. City Cast Denver producer Xandra McMahon sits down with the director of the GES Coalition Organizing for Health and Housing Justice, Nola Miguel, and GES Coalition organizer and lifelong resident Alfonso Espino to talk about reparations and their new campaign to establish a “community-driven” planning process for that land.

Welcome to Day 1672 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomHemmed in Prayer – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!  We are on Day 1672 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Charles Spurgeon, and it is: A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel. Hemmed in Prayer Ever have one of those days where it seems to unravel before your very eyes? I have had my share of them. Sometimes they come all at once. When life begins to unravel, where can we run?  How do you start and end your day? I would recommend that you hem the beginning of each new day by allowing God's Word to flow through you and seeking His face through prayer. When you establish the proper mindset at the beginning of each day, it will allow you to focus on what is most important in life. When you end your day with a prayer of gratitude for another day well-lived, you hem the day that might have otherwise unraveled. Why do we hem a piece of cloth? So that it looks finished. So that it doesn't unravel. So that it doesn't fall apart. We hem so that the fabric is protected and the edges are secure. Our all-knowing God is doing that for our lives. He hems us in so that we have borders and those borders are protected. God hems us in so that we are secure and finished in Him. He hems us in, behind us, and before us. What an important truth to live, remember, you are hemmed in today. The borders of your life are protected and secure because of our all-knowing, all-loving God. If your life has come unraveled, turn in prayer to the Master Tailor. He stands at the ready with the needle in hand. God is prepared to put things back for you. All you have to do is “stand still”…..and see the salvation of the Lord.  The Master hems you in through prayer. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+31%3A1-5&version=NLT (Psalm 31:1-5) O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don't let me be disgraced. Save me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me; rescue me quickly. Be my rock of protection, a fortress where I will be safe. You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger. Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone. I entrust my spirit into your hand. Rescue me, Lord, for you are a faithful God. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.' If you would like to listen to any of our past 1671 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day's trek will be downloaded automatically. If you have not done so, please consider giving us a five-star rating so that others will also join us in mining our nuggets of wisdom. Thank you so much for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and, most...

In this episode it starts off like a normal episode, we are at a friend's house using his bathroom to wash up and use toiletries. We stopped recording for this episode in next few days and wasn't gonna pick it back up until we had more of a outline to go off of. I want these podcasts to be educational and informative and I want them to show people what we go through as addicts. So I want more organized segments rather then us just winging it. But anyways we landed up getting arrested and going to jail. So this episode explains what went down with all of that. Also I give a shout-out to APD our local police department and officer Squires for being awesome and for NOT being Piggly Wigglys. They are great at what they do and need to be recognized for there actions. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/slowlysaggin/message

A small maritime region, Phoenicia lay on the Eastern Mediterranean coast. The Phoenicians, who were Semites, emerged as a distinct Canaanite group around 3200 B.C. Hemmed in by the Lebanon Mountains, their first cities were Byblos, Sidon, Tyre, and Aradus. Scholars agree that there are two sources of the Western tradition: Judeo-Christian doctrine and ancient Greek intellectualism. More generally, there is recognition that Western civilization is largely built atop the Near Eastern civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. A basic question arises, however, as to which ancient people specifically prepared the way for the West to develop. While early Aegean cultures are often viewed as the mainspring, assessment of the growing literature reveals that the city-states of Phoenicia stimulated (Bronze Age) and fostered (Iron Age) Western civilization. Phoenicia, the principal axis of Eastern influence, sent forth pioneering seafarers, skilled engineers, gifted artisans, and the master entrepreneurs of antiquity. Through a peaceful, long-distance exchange network of goods and ideas, they influenced the trade, communication, and civilizational development of the Mediterranean basin. The height of Phoenician shipping, mercantile, and cultural activity was during the Greek early Archaic period, especially the Orientalizing phase, c. 750-650 B.C., which appears to have laid the foundations for fifth century B.C., classical Greece. Phoenician mercantilism also prompted European state formation in the Aegean, Italy, and Spain. Rome would succeed Greece and Carthage. Finally, Roman Carthage promoted Latin Christianity.

Are You Hemmed In?

Audio Transcript: Good morning. Or for us here today, good afternoon. My name is Andy. I'm one of the pastors here at Mosaic, along with Pastor Jan and Pastor Shane. This is a prerecorded service. We are meeting online right now this Sunday, because the temple where we meet has plans and preparations for one of their great annual holidays. So, we are meeting online. We look forward to seeing you next week. Thank you for just being flexible, after a long season of being flexible. But we pray that the Lord would continue to work profoundly through the mediums of technology that he's given to us. Today, we are continuing. Before I go into that, if you are new to Mosaic, you can still sign one of our connection cards. You can click on a link and fill one out. If you want to learn certain information about the church, the body here, our values, community groups, fill that out. We want to get to know you. We will follow up with you. Please do that.But today, we are continuing in our series, Balm Psalms. We've been going through this series through the Psalms, talking about how the Psalms are like balm for our soul. They're soothing. They meet us. They give us words to our deepest and strongest emotions in the Christian walk. Additionally, they drop balms of truth for us. Today, we're going through Psalm 22. Growing up, my mom used a lot of skin products. And some skin products, you just have to use over and over and over again for days before they make a difference, before they improve your condition, before they improve that cracked skin. Psalm 22 is one that you really have to spend time with. You have to meditate on. If you don't know, this is the Psalm that is typically referred to on Black Friday.Good Friday, excuse me. On Good Friday. And on Good Friday, we typically read about the afflictions of Jesus Christ, as he approaches the cross, and he's on the cross. Often, the pastors, preachers will spend time quoting Psalm 22. Psalm 22 is the most quoted Psalm, most quoted, most alluded to Psalm in the New Testament. This is a crucial Psalm in the history, in God's redemptive history. And so, just want to delve right into it.The best way to really take in this Psalm is to read it by yourself. Meditate on it. Spend time with it. Go back and forth in between the New Testament and the Old Testament. When you spend time with that, you see this is a Psalm written 1000 years before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Before crucifixion was even invented, crucifixion is predicted here. There's a lot of debate when you dig into the commentaries. Does this prophesy? Was David functioning as a prophet when he wrote the Psalm? Yes, it should be blatant. It should be obvious. You should read this Psalm with me right now, and think that you're in the New Testament. Today, I'm not going to exposit it. It's a little too long for me to take you through all 30 or so verses in one sitting. I want to pull out a crucial theme that is a part of this text.Would you please listen as I read the word of God? Psalm 22. "To the choirmaster, according to the Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David."My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest."Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. In you our fathers trusted. They trusted, and you delivered them. To you they cried and were rescued. In you they trusted and were not put to shame."But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. All who see me mock me. They make mouths at me. They wag their heads. 'He trusts in the Lord, let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, for he delights in him.'"Yet you are he who took me from the womb. You made me trust you at my mother's breasts. On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb you have been my God. Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help."Many bulls encompass me. Strong bulls of Bashan surround me. They open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion."I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within my breast. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws. You lay me in the dust of death."For dogs encompass me. A company of evildoers encircles me. They have pierced my hands and feet. I can count all my bones. They stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots."But you, O Lord, do not be far off. O you my help, come quickly to my aid. Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog. Save me from the mouth of the lion. You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen."I will tell of your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will praise you. You who fear the Lord, praise him. All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel. For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him."From you comes my praise in the great congregation. My vows I will perform before those who fear him. The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied. Those who seek him shall praise the Lord. May your hearts live forever.All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and the families of the nations shall worship before you. For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations."All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship. Before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive. Posterity shall serve him. It shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation. They shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it." This is the word of our Lord. Please pray with me.Heavenly Father, we praise you for this text. We praise you for just the details that you have laid before us to show the lengths, the depths that you went, that Jesus Christ endured, to preserve your name and provide a means of salvation for us. Lord, we praise you for your holiness. We praise you for working for your great name, and inviting us into relationship you with great compassion. Heavenly Father, we pray right now. Use this time of worship together to give us a grand vision of you, in all your glory and all your holiness. Give us a healthy fear. Shake us to the core, that we may worship you properly. Holy Spirit, please be with us. Correct and sharpen our hearts, as we delve into your word. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.If you know the tiniest bit of Christianity, you'll know that the Bible claims that God is holy. You might have distant memories of singing Holy, Holy, Holy. Lord God Almighty, if you grew up in the Protestant church. If you're from a Catholic background, you might be triggered by the word holy, to think of first holy communion. If you like history, you might think of Holy Wars. Sadly, some of you, many of you, when you hear the word holy, you might only think of ways that you've sinfully used it in a profane manner at a time of exasperation. Whatever your association with the word holy, if you've been in the church for any amount of time, the word has probably become commonplace to you, a common part of speech, something you encounter a lot in God's word, and hear and say in prayer in small groups. But when we think about the word holy, the sad reality is that a lot of us in the church don't understand God's holiness. And we downplay its importance in our lives. That's wrong.Isaiah 6:3 is a passage that highlights the importance of God's holiness. The prophet Isaiah, at the time of his calling, he receives a vision from the Lord, sitting on his throne in all of his glory, with seraphim, these heavenly beings on either side of him. One seraph calls out to the other seraph and says, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory." We can't speed past the repetitive nature of holy made here. It wasn't sufficient for the seraph to say, "God is holy." The seraph had to use the word holy three times to capture the depth and breadth of God's holiness.In Hebrew culture at that time, to say something twice was to make clear that this was really important. The listener here should focus in upon hearing something repeated twice. To say something three times was to attach supreme, superlative importance to something. In all of scripture, the only quality of God that is mentioned three times in succession is holy, holy, holy. Isaiah says, God is not simply holy or even holy, holy, He is holy, holy, holy. The Bible never says that God is love, love, love, or mercy, mercy, mercy, or wrath, wrath, wrath, justice, justice, justice. It does say that he is holy, holy, holy. And that's not enough. The whole earth is full of his glory.When we think of holy, holy, holy, it's supposed to stretch the boundaries of our intellect, stretch the boundaries of our imagination, whatever you think of when you hear the word holy, hear that God is holy, you need to know that God is in an entirely different category of holiness. He's much holier than you ever thought he could be.When we think here, holy, holy, holy, it's meant to humble us with the realization that God is different from us. That God is infinitely greater than anyone and everyone who has ever lived, who has ever existed. This is essential to know that God's holiness is the crucial feature of his being. The crucial essence of his being when we come to Psalm 22. When we come to Psalm 22, we're walking on holy ground. Charles Spurgeon, a great preacher, pastor once said, "We should read Psalm 22 reverently, putting off our shoes from off our feet, as Moses did at the burning bush, for if there be holy ground anywhere in Scripture, it is this Psalm."Why is it holy? In seeing the grave detail, we see the length that God went to preserve his own holiness, by pouring out his wrath for the sins of man on his own son. Perhaps more than any other piece of scripture, the holiness of God is on full display in Psalm 22. His ways are altogether different. He himself is altogether different. Today, I want to talk about God's holiness. I just want to clarify even further, what is holiness? What is God's holiness? Why does God's holiness matter? How does God's holiness provide comfort? I'll go back and forth to this more topical connection with the text.What is holiness? The word for holiness comes from the Hebrew word qadosh, which means to cut. To be holy means to be cut off, to be set apart from everything else. It means to be in a class by oneself, a cut above the rest, when we think of great athletes, great artists, great figures. Qadosh has another layer of meaning. I mean, to be holy, qadosh means to be entirely morally pure, in every way possible, at all time. Often, holiness is cut short in its definition. It's defined by using only one aspect, one of the aspects that I just presented, but we have to include both. To say that God is holy is to say that his holiness occupies a place of power and moral purity that no one else has ever had before, or where no one else has ever sat before. We therefore don't have anything that we can compare him, as a frame of, compare God's holiness to as a frame of reference. Because there's no metaphors, there's no similes, there's no comparisons that quantify what God's holiness is in relation to us.God is altogether different. He's altogether pure. To say that he is holy is synonymous with saying that he is God. Psalm 2, we touched on this in recent weeks, it taps into this. "Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, 'Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.' He who sits on the heavens laughs. The Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 'As for me, I've set my King on Zion, my holy hill.'"It's folly to think, for rulers of the nations to think themselves, think of their thrones on a similar level of God in his holiness. First Samuel 2:2 proclaims, "There is none holy like the Lord, for there is none besides you. There is no rock like our God." Exodus 15:11 asks, "Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?"To clarify even further, God's holiness is not just a feature. I misspoke a couple of minutes ago, it's not just a feature of who he is or what he does. His holiness is not just one of many other attributes that sets him apart from all other beings. God's holiness is the essence of who he is. Everything God thinks, desires, speaks, and does is an expression of his holiness. Therefore, God is holy in every attribute and every action. He is holy in power. He is holy in justice. He is holy in awe. He is holy in mercy. He is holy in grace. He is holy in sovereignty. He is holy in wisdom. He is holy in patience, holy in wrath, holy in faithfulness, holy in compassion. He's holy even in his holiness. So why, point two, why does this matter?If you're anything like me, you're probably thinking, "I kind of get it. I think I can define how he's holy. But what does this mean for me? How does this doctrine impact my life?" First and foremost, the holiness of God is at the center of the redemptive narrative of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's at the center of scripture. It is the holiness of God that brings us to this moment, highlighted in Psalm 22, that points to Jesus Christ bearing the wrath for man's sin on the cross. Without the holiness of God, there'd be no moral law to which every human being is responsible. Without the holiness of God, there would be no divine wrath, as depicted graphically in Psalm 22, against man's sin. Without the holiness of God, there would be no need for a perfect son sent as an acceptable sacrifice, as atonement for the sins of man. Remove God's holiness from our doctrine, or remove it from the life of the church, remove it from the speech of mankind, and it all boils down to your sense of right and wrong.Really means nothing. Your sense, your desire for justice means nothing. Our sense of these things, it stems from God's holiness. God has imputed to us some of, communicated to us some of his attributes. As image-bearers, we know, we have it written on our heart what is right and wrong. And so, we can't ignore God's holiness. Some people come to Christianity and they say, "I want to learn about God." They want to read. They want to study. They want to do the apologetics. They want to engage in argument. But they don't want to confront God's holiness. They think they don't need that. You can't come to Christianity without confronting God's holiness. It's at the center of the story.So, how does God's holiness provide comfort? Want to read from Psalm 22 again. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" The famous words that Jesus Christ spoke while he was hanging on the cross. "Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest. Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel." In a moment that seems so out of control, that seems so evil, where wrong seems to be rewarded and right seems to be punished, where God seems to have abandoned the Psalmist, abandoned Jesus Christ, it's the recollection and the love of the holiness of God that allowed the Psalmist, that allowed Christ to persevere through the crucifixion. This is the first thing that he says in that feeling of forsakenness, that feeling of abandonment.With the utterance of "my God, my God," in the midst of this excruciating trial, Christ still views God the Father as God. He doesn't lash out against God. He doesn't shake his fist at him. He does not revoke his faith in the Father. He does not seek his own vindication in the moment. What he finds refuge in, what he seeks, what he proclaims first and foremost is, "Yet you are holy." It's the holiness of God, and leaning into that, in this moment, that allows the Psalmist, that allowed Jesus Christ to stay faithful and persevere through the most despairing of moments. Jesus Christ, thinking about his father, his holiness, knows that God is far bigger in his holiness than the circumstances that he faces.A.W. Pink, theologian says, "Never did divine holiness appear more beautiful and lovely than at the time our Savior's countenance was marred in the midst of his dying groans." This Christ himself acknowledges in Psalm 22. When God had turned a smiling face from him and thrust his sharp knife into his heart, which forced that terrible cry from him, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me," he adores this perfection. A lot of theologians take time to argue, he had the whole Psalm in his mind. What the Psalmist knew when he wrote this, what Jesus knew and believed with the eyes of his heart, was that in every situation that he was in, in the care of his sovereign and holy father.In our lives, it's the same. Every situation you have been in, every situation you are in, the situation you're in right now, every situation you will be in is under the sovereign control of the holy God. It often doesn't seem this way, but it is true. Because God is holy, what he does is always right. What he says is always true. Whatever he wills is just. Whatever he promises, he will always deliver. In year 2020, do you believe this? Psalm 22 teaches us in verse 1, in our perceived forsakenness as Christians, perceived abandonment, God is holy.Furthermore, Psalm 22, verse 1, when God seems far away, "God, you've called me to this task yet I don't feel like you're showing up," he is holy. When he doesn't seem to answer your prayers, the groanings of your heart, he is holy. Verse 2, when you're crying and anxious, but still get no answer, God is holy. Verse 6, when we're stomped on like a worm and scorned and despised, God is holy. Verse 7, when you're mocked, God is holy. Verse 8, when accused of wrongdoing, God is holy. Verse 12, when the people of power look down on you, he is holy. Verse 13 to 15, when your body is sapped of all strength, when you feel like you're reduced to a lifeless heap of flesh, when you thirst and feel like death, God is holy. Verse 16, when enemies of God's people, these dogs surround you and harm you, God is holy. Verse 18, when your garments and belongings are taken, he is holy. Verse 21, when he rescues you, he is holy.Do you believe this? Ted Tripp says, you have to preach this message of God's holiness to yourself over and over again. Evil is not in control. Injustice does not rule. Corruption is not king. Satan will not have victory. God is, and will always be worthy of your trust, for this one reason. He is holy. We might not get to see it in this life, but with his holy might, God will defeat every evil thing that has inflicted pain and brought upon every difficulty injustice. And this form of despair will eventually deliver us to a world free of all that is wrong, forever.So, when we as Christians, when we don't find comfort in God's holiness, there's something wrong. There's something going on. The message of Psalm 22, of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is that Jesus Christ was forsaken by the Father, so that we who are in Christ would never be forsaken by him.Second Corinthians 5:21. "For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him, we might become the righteousness of God." Romans 8:1, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." There might be times that we don't feel like we're children of the holy God. We don't feel that he's holy and in control. In these moments, these are feelings, not truth.We need to reject those feelings. Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick. Who can understand it?" And in this flesh until Jesus Christ returns, our own heart can condemn us. Satan condemns us. The world condemns us, but we can't trust those feelings, whatever the source or the cause. We need to fight feelings with faith. Ephesians 6:16, 18, "In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication." We need to fight condemnation with conviction like the saints of old.Hebrews 11:1. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Though it might appear that God is not with us in the bleakest of moments, we trust that he is. We trust that with him on our side, we're never in the wrong place or the wrong situation. Though we might face temporary injustice, he will eventually bring full justice. One day, we will reign with him in full holiness and splendor.Where does this conversation, this discussion of the holiness of God lead us? What direction should encounter with God's holiness lead us? To praise and celebration. This is the end, the turning point of the Psalm, Psalm 22, verse 22. "I will tell of your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation, I will praise you. You who fear the Lord, praise him. All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel. For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him."From you comes my praise in the great congregation. My vows I will perform before those who fear him. The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied. Those who seek him shall praise the Lord. May your hearts live forever."All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations."All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship. Before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive. Posterity shall serve him. It shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation. They shall come and proclaim his righteousness to people yet unborn, that he has done it."No, we encounter God's holiness, and we praise and worship him for it. Ironically, when we're in the valley, when we're in despair, when we feel like God has abandoned us, we feel like we're falling apart or becoming undone, but it's an encounter with God's holiness that truly causes us to become undone.In God's holy presence, we lose all sense of pride, all reasons to boast in ourselves, the desire to keep on living for our own glory. With our creatureliness and our sin exposed by our holy God, we really see our need for our Savior. We see the impossible gap between ourselves and the Father, and finally understand that the Son who was forsaken by the Father is the only way to bridge that infinite gap. We celebrate God's holiness because when God reveals it to us, the purpose is not to get us to run from him in hopeless terror, but to run to him to find grace for all of eternity. We receive God's offer of grace and we praise him. We lead lives of worship and praise and mission for his glory.A classic prayer called The Valley of Vision praises God for his holiness, and really captures those trying moments, when we see his holiness most clearly, like this moment on the cross. The Valley of Vision."Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly, thou has brought me to the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but see thee in the heights. Hemmed in by mountains of sin, I behold thy glory. Let me learn by paradox, that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive, that the valley is the place of vision. Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from deepest wells, and the deeper the wells, the brighter thy stars shine. Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy life in my death, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley." Please join me in prayer.Lord, we pray. Give us the vision of Jesus Christ. Let us see you working, for your glory, for your holiness, out of deep love for us, in the valleys, in the moments of despair. Lord, we pray, give us a grand vision of you moving, of you running, pulling the strings of life, guiding the world, all for your glory. And Lord, while we wait, let us run with praise. Let us celebrate your holiness. Let us proclaim it with joy, and invite others into it. Lord, I pray, honor our lives, honor our faithful efforts to you, especially when we don't have strength to walk forward without your help. I pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Ep 272 - Looming Industrial Lands Crisis Guest: Eric Aderneck   Vancouver has a problem! Hemmed in by water, mountains, agricultural land, the border and the Port of Vancouver, industrial land is severely squeezed. Virtually no one is paying attention because industrial employment land isn’t sexy. It doesn’t capture headlines nor votes, and it’s complicated. Metro Vancouver is endeavouring to develop a plan, but with 21 different city and municipal governments – all with different agendas – addressing the many issues collectively is next to impossible.   It’s an important issue because without industrial lands that are available, affordable and adaptable to the changing needs of businesses of all sizes, the consequences will be felt on the roads, in the community, in the environment and in the economy.   As with residential and commercial property, the inspiration to come up with innovative solutions is dumped onto developers who have to weave their way through an increasingly complex set of rules, regulations and processes. Many of the design rules are set in the past and don’t take into account the need to build sites that go skyward and include some commercial office space.   It is projected that within the next four to five years, the Lower Mainland will simply run out of industrial lands. You may ask yourself, “Why should I care?” You don’t have to and most people dismiss it as a minor issue.   But Eric Aderneck, an expert in industrial and employment land use says, "There will be opportunity costs that are lost. Businesses that may want to expand can't, and so they leave, and larger international organizations that may want to come to Vancouver don't because there isn't available space”.    We invited Eric Aderneck to join us for a Conversation That Matters about our need to think in innovative ways about the region’s industrial lands.   Conversations That Matter is a partner program for the Morris J Wosk Center for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University.

♥ Hemmed InPsalm 139: 1-10 & 23-24ESV:O Lord, you have searched me and known me!You know when I sit down and when I rise up;    you discern my thoughts from afar.You search out my path and my lying down    and are acquainted with all my ways.Even before a word is on my tongue,    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.You hem me in, behind and before,    and lay your hand upon me.Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;    it is high; I cannot attain it.Where shall I go from your Spirit?    Or where shall I flee from your presence?If I ascend to heaven, you are there!    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!If I take the wings of the morning    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,even there your hand shall lead me,    and your right hand shall hold me.Search me, O God, and know my heart!    Try me and know my thoughts!And see if there be any grievous way in me,    and lead me in the way everlasting!Music for Hemmed In composed and recorded by eamonn in 2020.♠ re-versere-verse is a collection of narrated scripture passages put to music.

After 400 years of slavery, the Israelites are finally leaving Egypt. They marched triumphantly out of town only to find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place. As the Egyptian Army pursues the Israelites, they turn on Moses and question his leadership. But God had clearly placed them in this place, Hemmed in by mountains on either side and the sea in front of them. God put them in this spot to demonstrate His mighty power to save in response to a step of faith.

You’ve probably heard the statement, “Great fences make great neighbors.” Regardless of how you feel about that phrase, you have likely experienced the benefit of healthy boundaries in certain relationships and the pain that comes with the lack of them in others. Healthy boundaries are important in other areas of life as well. From how we handle money and use our time, to how we deal with suffering and respond to disappointments, boundaries are a reality for all of us. Join us for a new sermon series exploring what the Bible teaches about boundaries: what they are, how we should face them, what they teach us about God, and how we find the pleasant places He has for us inside of them.

Give Thanks? Hemmed In Psalm 139:5-13 What is Prevenient Grace? God the Father, through Jesus Christ, is working on our behalf to draw us to himself before we can turn to God on our own. Genesis 1:27 - Image of God Genesis 2:16-17 - Death Romans 5:6-9 - Justified by his Blood. 2 Corinthians 5:19 - Reconciled in Christ. Colossians 1:23 - Freedom of Choice Psalm 139:5-13 5You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 12even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 13For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

On this episode of the CartoonSomethingYouknoWhatever Podcast, we go over the last days of the month of May 2018. We discuss the Pusha T-Drake beef(and the uproarious anger from the line "you are hiding a child"), three straight years of great/all-time great diss tracks, why Drake MUST respond with an Ether-like diss (and has to go see Pusha just to save face), JR Smith's all-time fuck up (with Spanish commentary of the exact play), why Bryan Colangelo is thankful for JR Smith (and why "The Process" was detrimental to everyone), Roseanne doing what Roseanne does best and costing Matthew a parlay bet (and why you SHOULDN'T feel bad for her coworkers nor applaud ABC for cancelling it), how Bob's Burgers & The Simpsons nukes the talking point of there's no tv sitcom with a white middle-class family that represents the struggle of middle-class America like the Connors, Trump's bare desk, Thundercats 2011 being better than Thundercats 80s (brief mention of Thundercats Roar, what this episode was supposed to be about), and more.

A sermon by Rev. Dr. Baron Mullis - Scripture: John 1:43-51; Psalm 139:1-6; 13-18

After General Cornwallis reestablished his base of operations from the Carolinas to Virginia, little did he know that he was setting up the conditions that would be lead to the end of the American Revolution. Ordered to hold a small port in Virginia, Cornwallis chose Yorktown. The French turned the tables on the Royal Navy, defeating the squadron sent to keep Cornwallis supplied. Hemmed in by the Continental Army on land and the French Navy at sea, Cornwallis had little choice but to sit tight and hold out. Have a question, comment, or compliment, contact us at americawarpodcast@gmail.com.

AS201 Ask Sister podcast recorded live. Hosted by Sister Maxine, with guest Sister Carol Inkrott, OSF. Show Notes (2:00) What does a pastoral leader in a parish do? (7:50) Listener: Eternity in heaven sounds good, but when I think of doing anything forever, even trout fishing, it's scary. Should I be afraid? (15:20) Awesome music break: Dolly Parton sings Led Zepplin's “Stairway to Heaven.”      (16:45) Listener: How does God help you in tough times? (19:30) Listener: What is the parish's attitude toward you as a pastoral leader who's a woman? And how do you work with priests regarding the sacraments? (22:30) Listener: My Catholic church got closed, and it's 30 miles to another one. Can I watch mass on TV or go to the Lutheran church here in town instead? (29:50) Christianity mash-up vs. true ecumenism. (33:30) “Church coffee” as a way to build the parish community.

Just two centuries ago, no one had a clue where the borders of the USA actually were. Hemmed in by the Atlantic, the Appalachian mountains and Canada to the north, early Americans could only dream of the massive territory Donald Trump and his government control today. So why is the border with Mexico where it runs today? For that matter what fixed Canadian border? The answer to both questions is war. Misha Glenny and producer Miles Warde travel across Texas and into Mexico to find out what defined the USA in the south. This is fringeland where multiple cultures collide. Local response to the President's wall proposal is not what you'd expect. With contributions from Andres Resendez, Kate Betts of the Bullock State Museum in Austin and Clive Webb on the history of the line in the south; plus Margaret MacMillan, Kathleen Burk and Alan Taylor on the numerous wars that shaped the frontier in the north.

Hemmed In (Pastor Howard Brown) 1 Kings 1-18 (5/7/2017) by Christ Central Church

Hemmed in by what she 'should' be writing, Clare Beams turned a corner by freeing herself to write what would become the title story in her phenomenal collection WE SHOW WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED. James was fortunate enough to edit one of Clare's stories for ONE STORY, and they discuss that experience as well as putting her collection together, how she ignored advice to maintain a consistent level of weird, and exploring the limitlessness of short fiction. Plus Emily Smith, publisher at Lookout Books, describes the unique program at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.  -  Clare Beams: http://www.clarebeams.com/ Clare and James discuss:  Columbia University  "The School" by Donald Barthelme  Kelly Link  Aimee Bender  Alice Munro  Hannah Tinti  Annie Hartnett  HAYDEN'S FERRY REVIEW ECOTONE  LOOKOUT BOOKS THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY THE NEW YORKER ONE STORY Beth Staples  Emily Smith  Erin Kottke  BINOCULAR VISION by Edith Pearlman  PEN: Robert Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction  Young Lions Fiction Award  - Lookout Books: http://www.lookout.org/index.html Emily and James discuss: The Sewanee Writers' Conference  Michelle Brower  ECOTONE  National Endowment for the Arts Association of Writing Programs  David Gessner  Jeff Sharlet  The Publishing Laboratory  Stanley Colbert  THE BOTTLE CHAPEL AT AIRLIE GARDENS: A TRIBUTE TO MINNIE EVANS  BACKYARD CAROLINA by Andy Wood  THE HATTARASMAN by Ben Dixon MacNeill BINOCULAR VISION by Edith Pearlman GOD BLESS AMERICA by Steve Almond Beth Staples  Anna Lena Phillips Bell  Melissa Crowe BELOIT POETRY JOURNAL   HONEY FROM THE LION by Matthew Neill Null  South Arts  "Granna" by Clare Beams  "We Show What We Have Learned" by Clare Beams  Ben George  WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS OLD: POEMS by John Rybicki  RIVER BEND CHRONICLE by Ben Miller  MADRAS PRESS  Sumanth Prabhaker  Corinne Manning  THE JAMES FRANCO REVIEW PLOUGHSHARES  REDIVIDER  ONE STORY  INSURRECTIONS by Rion Amilcar Scott  - http://tkpod.com / tkwithjs@gmail.com / Twitter: @JamesScottTK Instagram: tkwithjs / Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tkwithjs/

Hemmed in on both sides, the crew of Grizzelda make frantic plans.  The situation couldn't possibly get worse.  Or could it?
