Last year Andrew and Luke both visited Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for the first time, staying at Buhoma Lodge as their base for gorilla trekking. In this episode they unpack what makes this place so special, from the location right inside the park boundary to the way the whole operation is built around making your trekking experience as smooth as possible. They also get into the afternoon activities, the Batwa people, the Ride for a Woman initiative, and a few stories you probably won't find in any travel brochure.Find out more about our Uganda safaris: https://wild-eye.com/uganda-photo-safaris/

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by Bro Zelwyn B. Eaton, and is brought to us by WBro David Koncz, PM – United #8, Brunswick ME. It is uncomfortable to consider our own demise. As Freemasons, our accepted duties are to help, aid, and assist, and there is no one who needs it more than someone who has just recently lost a loved one. Here we find a guide to Masonic funeral planning, which we should all give consideration to while we have time.

This week we had some not-so-great inflation figures and also reports that there'll be another interest rate rise right before the government hands down its federal budget in May. Newly-minted shadow treasurer Tim Wilson, aka the "energiser bunny", accused Treasurer Jim Chalmers of pouring fuel on the economic flames, but what is the government saying about the situation?

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Clare Marie Ritter, Motorcoach Coordinator at the historic Penn Wells Hotel and Lodge in rural Pennsylvania. She shares her experience positioning a smaller, less well-known destination. We talk about the foundations of successful collaborations and why building a supportive network has been crucial to her success. Clare brings vivid examples of successful collaborations, from multi-state itineraries to connecting with neighboring museums, that prove even "off the beaten path" destinations can thrive with teamwork and creative thinking. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Clare Marie Ritter found her way into the tour and travel industry through volunteering and local connections Why positioning a rural destination requires creative marketing strategies, including focusing on attractions and experiences What collaborative partnerships across borders (including state lines) look like, and how Clare uses those relationships to build group itineraries How thinking outside the box has helped Clare identify unique attractions that appeal to group travelers Clare creates fresh itineraries and creative connections in a rural area Best practices when establishing collaborations and building genuine personal connections Expanding Itineraries Clare's passion for history and her beginnings at a local motel led her down a path of helping visitors discover the hidden corners of her rural Pennsylvania home. She realized that promoting a hotel meant first selling the destination itself. After all, you can have the best, most fancy property in the world, but without a reason to come, your marketing is going to fall on deaf ears. Clare recognized the need to think outside the box by promoting local attractions and extending the visitor journey. She formed partnerships with unique local experiences, including a horse-drawn wagon ride through the canyon, small maple producers, and boutique chocolate factories, then widened her lens, working with regional attractions across state lines. She built partnerships with attractions like the Corning Museum of Glass, just 45 minutes away, reaching into New York for collaborative opportunities. The Power of Networks and Creative Collaboration Networking and partnerships play a major role in the success of rural tourism. For Clare, professional networking at organizations like the American Bus Association and regional groups provides contacts, ideas, and new opportunities. You never know where the next fruitful partnership might come from. One standout example is an itinerary co-created with counterparts in Corning and Jamestown, NY, and Coudersport, PA. Together, these small destinations developed a loop that incorporated art, comedy, local history, and natural beauty. Selling this unique cross-state experience has opened doors and filled itineraries with unexpected connections. Looking Ahead: Innovation and Nostalgia With renewed interest in nostalgic travel and more experiential, off-the-beaten-path destinations, Clare is excited about her latest project, which is developing a Route 6 motorcoach itinerary to showcase small towns along this historic road. This initiative dovetails perfectly with America's 250th anniversary, offering travelers fun themed journeys full of history and local flavor.

US President Donald Trump's new global tariffs have come into effect at a lower rate than expected. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has commented about last night's security threat which saw him evacuated from The Lodge in Canberra. - アメリカのトランプ大統領は、連邦最高裁が無効とした相互関税に代わるものとして全世界を対象とした10％の関税を発表しました。昨夜、キャンベラの首相公邸へ爆破予告が届き、アルバニージー首相が一時避難する事態が発生しました。

It's tempting to treat the evacuation of the prime minister from the Lodge this week as a bizarre outlier but that would miss the point.

#887 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/887 Presented By: Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho  Not every trout river fishes the same, and eastern Idaho might be one of the best places to see that firsthand. In this Traveled episode, we head back to Teton Valley Lodge with Brian Berry to explore how the South Fork Snake, Henry's Fork, and the Teton River each bring a completely different challenge depending on flows, seasons, and how you approach the water from a drift boat. Brian walks us through how fishing changes throughout the year—from winter nymphing and streamer tactics to the explosive Mother's Day caddis hatch and summer dry-dropper fishing. We dig into boat positioning, reading subtle holding water on technical rivers like the Henry's Fork, and why staying flexible with river choices is often the key to a successful trip in eastern Idaho. #887 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/887

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Carl H. Claudy and first published in July 1949. This justly famous elaboration of the Prestonian lecture upon Geometry, part of the Fellowcraft degree, is less well known to present day Masons than it’s poetical content deserves. Mackie mistakenly attributes the authorship to Pike, but, lucky for you, here is the real story. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brother and your Lodge.

Have you ever visited a Lodge in another state and noticed small, yet distinct, differences in the ritual? Or wondered why, despite these differences, the core ceremony feels so familiar from coast to coast? The answer to both questions can largely be traced back to a pivotal, yet often overlooked, event: the Baltimore Convention of 1843. In this episode, we journey back in time with Masonic author, WB Nathan St. Pierre ("Harmony in the Hive"), to understand this crucial turning point in American Freemasonry. This national convention was an ambitious attempt to unify and standardize Masonic ritual across a rapidly expanding United States.Show notes and links: Join us on Patreon.

Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot investigates, and his friend Captain Arthur Hastings narrates "The Mystery of the Hunter's Lodge."

John 15:1-8,“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.This morning we come to the seventh of Jesus's seven great “I am” statements in the Gospel of John. Jesus is the bread of life; he is the light of the world, the door, the good shepherd, the resurrection and the life; he is the way, the truth, and the life. And finally, in John 15, he is the vine.The vine. It's such a memorable and concrete image that it might be hard for some of us to hear it afresh. One of the challenges for us is how this old English word “abide,” which is not a word we use today. Anyone use “abide” on the street this week? It's an old word, but it's easy enough. It just means “remain” or “stay.” “Abide in me” equals “Stay in me.”Now, that command to stay or abide in Jesus doesn't come until verse 4. Verses 1-3 set the table with vital background information before Jesus turns to us, the branches, in verse 4, and says, Stay in me.So, we branches have something to do here, to engage in. In this picture of Christ's provision, you do get to play a part. You are not decisive, but you are involved: you stay, remain, continue. Or, said negatively: don't bail, don't fall away; don't coast and drift from Jesus — especially when conflict comes, when interruptions come, when agitation comes, disorientation, confusion, insults, opposition, slander.The call to abide, to stay, assumes a context of conflict, with forces pulling on the branches, trying to disconnect them from the vine.It's easy to pull these verses out of context and imagine a nice, peaceful, sunshiny day in the vineyard. But John 15 is right at the beginning of the storm. Remember this is the longest Thursday night, the night before Jesus dies. The storm is bearing down on them, and Jesus is getting his men ready.He said in 14:27:“Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”And he said in 14:31, “Rise, let us go from here.”But he keeps talking. I imagine the disciples rising to their feet, but before they go, Jesus wants to prepare them a little bit more, with a battlefield speech: I am the vine; you are branches. That's what you need for this storm. Stay in me.Then in 16:1 Jesus will say why he said what he did in chapter 15:“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.”So, abiding is not about cushy, idyllic days. It's about staying in Jesus when forces are trying to pull you away from him. Which relates to another context for this passage: our context. Jonathan called it our “Troubled Heart Situation”: the jarring interruption of our worship a few weeks ago, with its insults, and since then, the questions and many misunderstandings we've endured from those who don't know the truth and may show little interest in it.So, originally, the Vine and branches was to help Jesus's disciples, against opposition, stay with him. And now God has given Cities Church the Vine and branches this morning to help us, against opposition, stay with him.Now, when we see ourselves in this passage, it is a very simple, modest role. Jesus uses the word six times: branch. That's what you are, what I am: we are branches. Humble branches, totally dependent, powerless and unimpressive on our own — and yet branches on a good vine can be very happy, nourished, well supplied, empowered, and fruitful.So, we make our way this morning with four truths about us as humble, happy branches who need to stay in Jesus in the storm.1. We branches are distinct from the Vine. (vv. 1–2)We are just branches. We are not the Vine. Jesus is the Vine. We are distinct from the Vine and we do not become the Vine, and yet, amazingly, we are joined to the Vine. And not just Vine, but in verse 1, Jesus says “true vine.” “I am the true vine.”We've seen Jesus use the word true throughout John to talk about being the real or genuine or ultimate. He is the true light, the true bread, true food, true drink. And now true vine.True vine implies that another vine has come before, and now Jesus comes as the true one, the ultimate one. What was the previous vine? Israel. Psalm 80:8–9 is one place among many:You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. In Psalm 80, and in Isaiah and Jeremiah and Ezekiel, Israel is God's vine, and tragically, in the prophets, God's vine that did not bear the fruit it should have.So, this is no small claim when Jesus says he's the true vine. He's saying that God's first-covenant people, the first vine, the old vine, were not the final vine. And now Jesus comes as the new vine, the true vine, the ultimate vine. Which means he's the new and final place of connection to God, not Israel.Previously, to be God's people, you had to be born into or specially brought into God's ethnic people. But now, to be God's people, you need only to be joined to Jesus.This joining to Jesus is what we call “union with Christ.” Through faith, by the connecting power of the Holy Spirit, men and women from every nation, whatever ethnicity, are joined to Jesus and, in union with him, experience all the benefits he provides: righteousness, redemption, forgiveness, holiness, sonship, and true family, and best of all, at the center of it all, the surpassing joy of knowing Jesus.And a union works in two directions. A husband and all he has becomes his wife's, and the wife and all she has becomes her husband's. So, verse 4 says, “Abide in me, and I in you.” Verse 5: “Whoever abides in me and I in him.” This is mutual indwelling. We branches are not only in the Vine by faith, but he is in us: “I in you.” As we saw last week, the Holy Spirit, who dwells in us, is the presence of Jesus in our lives and ministers to us the realness of Jesus. (And we'll see in a minute how this gets more tangible.)So, we branches are not the Vine; we are distinct from the Vine. And yet, we are joined to the Vine, united to the Vine. Which raises a question in verse 2:Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he [the Father, the vinedresser; literally, the Farmer, geōrgós] takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.Get this, it's not just vine and branches. There's a Farmer in the vineyard: the Father. He walks the vineyard. He helps the Vine and the branches by pruning the good ones and removing the fruitless ones. We'll come back to the Father and his pruning, but here's the question: What do we make of these branches that are “in the Vine” but the Father “takes away”? Verse 6 continues the thought:If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away [cast out] like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.Can someone be truly in the vine and taken away? The answer is the metaphor is not meant to go that far. Jesus has made plain again and again in this Gospel that no one can take his true sheep from him (6:37; 10:29; 17:12; 18:9), and John has made it clear that there are some who seem to believe, so-called followers of Jesus, even Judas among his twelve (2:23-24; 6:60, 6; 8:30ff; 12:42-43). The reality is not that they were once truly in and then fell away, but that their falling away shows they were never truly in the Vine. Those who are truly in Jesus persevere; they abide, and bear fruit; and they are the ones the Father prunes that they might bear more fruit (like the Lord's discipline in Hebrews 12:4–11).The point is that true Christians will bear fruit, not that a person could be genuinely united to Jesus and lose their connection.Jesus is the Vine, and we are the branches, distinct from him, and united to him by faith and the Holy Spirit. 2. We branches delight in the sap. (vv. 3, 7a)I assume we don't have many viticulturists in the room. I should probably make it clear that life-giving sap flows in one direction: from the Vine to the branches. Sap, containing water and nutrients and sugar flows from the vine to the branches to nourish the branches that they might grow and develop fruit.And if you ask, Okay, that's great in theory about the vine, but how does this relate to our union with Jesus? Verse 7 gives us the critical answer for how this union becomes tangible:“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you…”Did you hear it? What's staying in us when we stay in Jesus? His words. And this is not the only mention of his words in this passage. Jump up to verse 3:Already you are clean [katharoí, same root as “prune” in v. 2] because of the word that I have spoken to you.So, before telling them to abide, Jesus says, already (one of the most important words in this passage) you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. What's the word he spoke to them? In chapter 13, Jesus says something very similar. He's washing the disciples' feet, and Peter objects. Jesus says, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with me.” So, Peter says, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” Jesus responds, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean [same as 15:3], but not every one of you” (referring to Judas).So, here's the significance of this first word in 15:3: it's his word of full acceptance, a declaration of right standing (what Paul will call justification by faith). Before you're purified, you are pure. Before you're cleaned, you are clean. You are in Jesus by faith, united to him, before you abide the storms. Union first, then abiding. Not abide to secure union; abide because you're united. So, verse 3, refers to a word Jesus speaks that effects full acceptance with God, in union with him, that is already true before we abide.Then, back to verse 7, where we have his word for fresh abiding, or the word for daily strength. This is the ongoing, sustaining flow of grace that comes to us in union with Jesus through his word. This is the word for sanctification or for perseverance. Jesus's word, with his Spirit, is the sweet sap that flows to our souls and gives them life and delight. (Do you long for and enjoy his word like a branch enjoys the sweet sap of the vine? Do you, like a newborn infant, long for the pure spiritual milk of his word? 1 Peter 2:2.)Vital to abiding in Jesus is savoring the sap of his word, having his word stay in you, getting his words lodged into our hearts. How do you do that? Not just reading Scripture but meditating on it. Chewing on it. Savoring the sap, slowing down to savor the sap of his word, and ponder it, and lodge it in your heart, that Jesus himself might abide in you by his Spirit.Healthy branches stay in the vine through regular, particular moments of intentional, unhurried abiding, staying in Christ's word, not reading quick, praying quick, checking the box, and onto the rest of your day; but lingering unhurried in the Vine through his word. Put your phone away. Carve out enough time to lose track of time, to stay, without rushing, abide, in the presence of God in the Vine, savoring his words as energizing, life-giving sap for your soul.So, branches delight in the sap, that is, the word.3. We branches depend on the Vine. (vv. 4, 5, 7b)Not only does the sap of the word flow from the Vine to the branches, but there is a particular orientation of the branches back toward the Vine: utter dependance. There is in humble, happy branches a glad admission of powerlessness, and a glad response to the word called prayer, asking for more of the Vine and for his help in doing what he calls us to do: be fruitful.The powerlessness is in verses 4–5:As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. . . . [A]part from me you can do nothing.So, such powerless dependent branches, delighting in the word of the Vine, respond with their own words called prayer. The last part of verse 7:“ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”We saw another of these “ask whatever” verses in chapter 14, verses 13–14:“Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.”We'll see another next week in 15:16:“…whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you…”Now verse 7:“…ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”I don't think Jesus is giving us a blank prayer check for natural desires, and clearly we all know from our experience that we don't have that. The key in verse 7 is to remember the context. How different it is when you're in a trial and hanging on his words! His words in us feed our desires and prayers that echo his own heart. And “in my name” qualifies it. We have a banner in Jesus's name. And we have a backstop in the Spirit interceding for us. Romans 8:26–27: …the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us [in our] groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.Perhaps the main thing to take away is how much the Vine wants his branches to pray. He wants to hear from us — to live on the sap of his word, lodge his words and his will in our souls, and then, in his name, speak back to him. Pray. He wants there to be relationship, communion in the union.And a holy heart, shaped by God's word, is unleashed to ask, and ask, and ask, and know that when we don't know how to pray, and pray for the wrong things, we have the Spirit of Jesus in us interceding for us.So, the branches are distinct from the Vine, and we delight in his words, and we depend on him in prayer.4. We branches develop fruit, and so draw attention to the Farmer. (v. 8)Go to verse 8:“By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.”I say develop fruit because fruit doesn't happen in a moment. It grows organically, bit by bit over time. If you ask, what does “bearing fruit” mean for us, it includes all the good that flows from our union and communion with Christ: love for one another and joy and obeying commands and being his means to others coming to abide in him (more on that next week).None of which branches should hear as a burden! Bearing fruit is a joy for branches. That's what they were made for. Branches bearing fruit are branches fully alive and happy.And if you ask how you might evaluate your fruit, I would say this: don't evaluate your fruitfulness relative to how well you could someday love or obey or be effective in evangelism, or comparing yourself to the fruit of others. But ask yourself about you: your past, your former desires, your old self — how is the life-giving sap flowing into your soul and developing the fruit of love for others in your life? Perhaps you've heard the famous quote from John Newton:I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am.And verse 8 is clear that developing fruit does not make you to be Jesus's disciples but proves you are his disciples. Our fruit shows that we had already become his. Which makes the Vine look good. And the vine producing fruit, through his branches, makes his Father, the Farmer, look good.Pruning Cities ChurchSo, we come back to verse 2 and that there's a Farmer. John 15 isn't just Vine and branches. We have a Farmer, the Father, who walks the vineyard. And he serves the vine and all the fruitful branches by removing the unfruitful ones. And he prunes the fruit-producing branches so that they can produce more fruit.So, I want to end with this question: Was the Farmer away on January 18? He was not away. John 15 clues us in on what he was doing: he was pruning Cities Church for our good, that we might bear more fruit. I don't think “more fruit” means headlines or relates to the opinions of people far away. But in the Vine, God has given us fruit together in these first eleven years in worshiping Jesus together, and loving one another, and seeking the good of these Cities. And “more fruit,” I would assume, would relate to these same three avenues.Brothers and sisters, the Farmer wasn't caught off guard on January 18. And he hasn't been away since. He is ever vigilant over his Vine and his branches. He is ever gardening. He is pruning with perfect cuts. And I can already see he's done and is doing some amazing work, to take so many individuals from some fruit to more fruit, and to work on us a people to prune us from fruit to more fruit. Most of you have leaned in with an engaged hope that has been remarkable. But if the last month has distanced you from the Vine, if you sense yourself withering, with less of his word, less prayer, less fellowship, make this your day of turning. The main thing the Farmer is doing in this suffering is causing his branches to go deeper into the Vine. Don't drift from the Vine. Stay. Remain. Abide.Delight in his sap. Lodge his sweet, life-giving words into your mind and heart. Depend on his help. Having filled yourself with his words, pray in your own words. And ask him for whatever you need in his call to love each other and these Cities.Fellowship of BranchesWe said at the beginning, we are not the Vine. And now: you are not the only branch. Jesus says branches. You are never a lone branch in Christ, and never alone at this Table.We call this Communion for two reasons: communion with the Vine and communion with the other branches that are in him. So, take a morsel of nourishment, and a thimble of sap, and let's enjoy the Vine together.

Steam rising off the world's largest hot springs pool. A sunrise balcony at Hotel 1888. Naturally formed vapor caves beneath the Rockies.In this Colorado episode of The ROAMies Podcast, we head to Glenwood Springs for what started as a girls' getaway and turned into a full-body reset and a reminder that travel can reshape how we live back home.Plan Your TripVisit Glenwood Springs https://visitglenwood.comGlenwood Hot Springs Resort https://www.hotspringspool.comInstagram & TikTok: @glenwoodhotspringsWe toured the property with Aly Ackley, Resort Sales Manager, and explored Hotel 1888 (the boutique 16-room hotel inside the original 1888 bathhouse), the world's largest hot springs pool, the Athletic Club, and the Lodge.Our spa interview was with Melinda, owner and steward of Yampah Spa.Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park https://www.glenwoodcaverns.comWe tour Glenwood Hot Springs Resort with Aly Ackley, Resort Sales Manager, learn how 122-degree geothermal water from the Yampah spring is cooled and maintained for everything from lap swimming to pure relaxation, and hear how the resort blends rich history with modern wellness.Then we go underground at Yampah Spa & Vapor Caves with owner Melinda, where naturally occurring mineral vapor caves filled with sulfur, magnesium, potassium, and lithium offer a one-of-a-kind experience focused on recovery, relaxation, and restoration.We compare soaking styles, talk hydration and cooldown strategy, and share how to decide between Glenwood Hot Springs, Yampah Spa, Iron Mountain Hot Springs, or Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park depending on your travel goals: play, pamper, or reset.If you love mountain towns, wellness travel, and experiences that follow you home, this one's for you.Then something unexpected surfaced: color as medicine. Glenwood's mineral aqua, canyon rust, slate-white ridges, evergreens, and bold sky blue became a toolkit for life at home. Instead of chasing trends, we asked what feeling we need more of—calm, courage, clarity, growth—and used small, intentional shifts to invite it in: a mineral-aqua mug, a canyon-red throw, a sky-blue screen, a capsule wardrobe built from trip hues. Travel can fade unless we carry it forward; color makes memory tangible.If this journey sparked ideas for your next soak, reset, or room refresh, tap follow, share with a friend who needs a warm-water weekend, and leave a quick review so more travelers can find their way to Glenwood's healing waters.The information shared in this episode, including discussions about mineral vapors, hot springs, and potential wellness benefits, is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
