April 6 Service Groveport UMC, Groveport Ohio To support the ministry of the church, please click here: https://groveportumc.org/give/ OPENING SONGS: “Majesty” with “Thy Word” WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS OPENING PRAYER: We come into your presence, O Lord, with so many burdens and concerns on our hearts. Help us to be open to your words of healing and restoration. Bring us closer to you. Enable us to discern your will for us that we may serve you more faithfully by serving others in need. In Christ's name, we pray. AMEN. PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES: “O Sacred Head Wounded” *HYMN “The Church's One Foundation” #545 CALL TO WORSHIP: L: When all we have hoped for and trusted in has let us down; P: There is Christ who reaches out to us. L: When the world seems dark and despairs threatens to close in upon us; P: There is Christ, reaching out for us. L: Come and let us worship the Lord who is always ready to reach out to us. P: We humbly come before the Lord in hope and faith. AMEN. HYMN “Seek Ye First” #405 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Patient Lord, we find it easy to blame others and other circumstances for the things which happen in our lives. We hear the words “if only” and wonder why things didn't happen differently for us. Too often we want you to be a “magic” presence which will, with the wave of a wand, cure our ills, give us success and happiness; but we don't necessarily want to take responsibility for our attitudes and actions. Life is. Things happen which we didn't plan for and events swirl around us over which we have no control. But to place blame and not to find ways in which we can work through the situations is detrimental to everyone, especially ourselves. Forgive us when we are so busy placing blame that we don't recognize your presence and love for us. Free us from placing our own desires first and foremost. Help us to look at the many ways in which you are working in the world for peace and justice, and enable us to be part of that ministry. In Jesus' name, we pray. AMEN.

In this Super-sized episode, Sam and Henry celebrate Superman's 85th birthday with a discussion of what Superman means to Sam, a short take on the My Adventures with Superman teaser and a lengthy discussion of Henry's takeaways from Regal Cinema's Superman The Movie & Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut screenings. The Pals also dive into a very solid episode 6 of Superman & Lois. Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I'm Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. Superman's 85thSuperman's birthday was last week. Kind of a missed opportunity to have a big episode on the actual publication date. What does Superman mean to you? Why do you love SupermanMy Adventures With Superman teaserMy experience with seeing Superman 1&2 back to backNotes from the films - Glen Ford plays it as not only is he having a heart attack but he realizes he's dying. The "oh no" is saying "not now. I thought I had more time. "How long after Pa dies does Clark hear the crystal calling to him? I would've liked at least one more scene with Pa. What is ma telling Clark to remember?Clark asks the one question you might ask God - Who Am I? What is my purpose? Why am I here?I never noticed jimmy said " I told you one P"There's something about 70s NY on film that makes Metropolis feel so important and huge The double Jeopardy scene is the best first appearance period, the end. It's the perfect rescue to introduce Superman. Plane rescue - He literally saves the President on his first night. Let's talk about Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 6S03E6 - “Of Sound Mind” Directed by:Diana ValentineWritten By:George Kitson (from what I can tell, not related to Barry KitsonIMDB & Apple TV: Clark finds himself in uncharted territory; Lois bonds with a new friend; Superman pays Bruno Mannheim a surprise visit; Lana puts Sarah in charge while she's away at a meeting with Chrissy.Henry's Notes:Superman stuffDeadline diedTraces of X K and Superman's bloodOnomatopoeia speaks! Jordan training, beat all these guysEquus is a fictional comic book supervillain, a cyborg mercenary in the DC Comics universe who serves as an opponent of Superman.[1] Created by writer Brian Azzarello and artist Jim Lee, he first appeared in Superman (vol. 2) #206, which was published in June 2004 as part of the "For Tomorrow" storyline.Mechano-Man - All Star Superman #10Atomic SkullI love the video game that Jordan has to play. Bizarro plus Atomic Skull - double jeopardy for JordanReally fun seeing Atomic Skull in actionJordan, “I can do this all day” ok Cap.Dumb Jordan/Clark fight. Jordan's gotta know his role.“I have Superman to learn from”Ooooh Onomatopoeia can mimic other people's voices? Interesting power. How is Superman resisting Kryptonite???“Go save your father” He's wearing his new costume!That was really intense! How did Superman defeat them? Did Jordan help? Would Superman have defeated them anyway?I knew Jordan would be Kryptonite-resistant Manheim InvestigationNurse: “Mr. Manheim wishes you well in your article”Patient - “What's your angle?”What if this isn't about Powers, but trying to keep these guys alive.Cancer patient is talking about Manheim's accomplishments that helped her and Suicide SlumsNice misdirection with the cancer patient being Onomatopoeia. Is she Manheim's sister? Did you see that coming, Sam?Cancer stuffReally nice seeing Clark in a support group. Even Superman needs emotional help. “Wasn't for me” - hmmmmmNurse: “Mr. Manheim wishes you well in your article”Patient - “What's your angle?”Estate planning. If they haven't done life insurance yet, then they're fucked. No Life Insurance company would take her at this point. Clark is in super denial mode.This episode is about Clark's pain, fear and lack of control.“For the first time I can't keep you safe. I feel really powerless”Yep, I'm crying. Thanks Tyler and Bitsie.I knew the episode would end with Clark coming back to the group. Not mad about it but that was telegraphed. “So that's why I'm here. To ask for help.” - ClarkTwins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry“Rusty”“You look like a guy who made a wish to be a kid again”Is Clark trying to control Jordan because he can't control Lois' Cancer?Lana/Kyle/SarahIs this Sohpie's first sighting this season?! Where has she been? Juvie?OMG so awkward with Chrissy and LanaI like that Chrissy and Kyle are continuing. They're cute.Sarah, “you're chipper, it's weird.”No one is paying attention to Sophie. Maybe if she was in more episodes, they'd notice her. They freaking lost her. What the hell?Boy, between the slapping and the negligence, these two are really parents of the yearSad, sad Sophie at the abandoned fair. That is bleak. Sophie's character arc is going away, then when they need a story for the Cushings, they bring her back. Haha, nice reference to Burger Time. Kyle and Chrissy going steady, cute.

https://blog.feedspot.com/bible_podcasts/ (https://blog.feedspot.com/bible_podcasts/) Based on Luke chapter 19 verses 1 to 10 Zacchaeus Zacchaeus was a short man, short in height and short of friends! To say he was unpopular would be an understatement because most people hated Zacchaeus. You see Zacchaeus was a tax collector – he had paid the Romans to get the job of collecting taxes from his own people, the Jews. He then gave those taxes to the Romans who used them to stay in charge! What's more, as Zacchaeus had paid for the job of collecting taxes and the Romans didn't pay him anything to do the job, he had to collect extra taxes from all the people so that he had enough to live on himself – and in fact, over the years, he'd grown quite rich! If they had any choice in the matter, no ordinary Jew would have anything to do with the likes of tax collectors unless they absolutely had to! You see, because they worked for the Romans, tax collectors were considered to be traitors! Oh, Zacchaeus did have some friends, but they were either tax collectors like himself or else one of the many other outcasts there were in Israel at that time. (P) But even among this group of outcasts the stories about Jesus had started to circulate. Some were saying that Jesus was the friend of tax collectors! Zacchaeus listened to these stories with great interest and decided that, should Jesus come to Jericho, the city where he lived, he'd make sure to see him. One day sometime later, Zacchaeus heard an excited voice shouting outside. Stopping what he was doing, he listened. ‘Hey, David!' said the voice, ‘Have you heard? Jesus is heading into town. We're just off to see him. Why don't you come with us?' After that, the voice lowered and Zacchaeus heard hurried footsteps as they rushed off to see Jesus. This was his chance! As quickly as he could, Zacchaeus got up and hurried off to see Jesus. But as he came closer to where Jesus was, he found a massive crowd of people, all wanting to see Jesus for themselves! Jesus was surrounded by 100's and 100's of people! (PAUSE) Zacchaeus didn't even bother to try and push his way through the crowd. He knew that when the people realised it was him trying to push past them, they'd never let him through. But he wasn't going to be put off. He'd promised himself he'd see Jesus and he was determined to make it happen! As he stood there wondering what to do, suddenly a thought sprang into Zacchaeus' mind. There was only one road through the city and Jesus would be travelling along it, so Zacchaeus ran ahead to see if there was some place he could stand that would give him a good view of Jesus. But there was nothing! What was he going to do? Resting by a large sycamore tree, Zacchaeus thought through his options. He couldn't push his way through to Jesus; the people wouldn't stand for that, and, there was nowhere along the road where he could get a good view. Zacchaeus banged the back of head softly against the tree as he tried to work out what he could do, then he stopped, and looked up. The tree! Jesus would be passing right under this very tree! As quickly as he could, for he hadn't done this since he was a lad; Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree hoping the leafy branches would shield him from disapproving eyes. And then he waited as the crowd slowly made its way along the road. As the massive crowd started to pass under the tree, they didn't notice the little man hidden in the branches looking down. (P) There was no mistaking Jesus, Zacchaeus could tell exactly who He was - right in the middle of the crowd with people coming up to Him to talk or just look at Him! It wasn't the perfect way to see Jesus, but it was the best Zacchaeus could manage. Then, as Jesus moved directly underneath where he was hiding, to his surprise, Jesus stopped! Zacchaeus hadn't expected this. Then suddenly, Jesus looked right up to where he was hiding and shouted, ‘Zacchaeus!' Zacchaeus nearly fell out of the tree...

Dr. Pat Love is known for warmth, humor, and her practical and research based wisdom. Her work has taken her around the world to help people understand and improve their relationships through just about every platform including magazines, TV, blogs, and workshops. Today, she talks about the inspiration she gains by new research and information in the field, how she brings couples together when there have been many years of distance and the formula for desire and true passion. She also gives a formula for passion and intimacy, the strongest predictors of longevity in relationships and the three key elements that make up real life trust. TAKEAWAYS: [1:28] Dr. Pat Love has numerous amount of blog posts, You Tube clips, trainings and workshops that have made her a renowned relationship consultant. She is also a distinguished professor, licensed marriage and family therapist, and long-standing clinical member and approved supervisor in American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. [4:26] More research is coming out everyday to support the evidence that being there for each other during not only the fun times, but the tough ones as well is one of the main keys to a healthy and fulfilling relationship. [5:42] Many of Rob’s clients struggle and wonder how they will be sexual with their partner after there has been a betrayal. [7:11] One of Dr. Love’s motivations for writing her book Hot Monogamy was to dig in and process how to feel intimacy again when there has been a betrayal. [9:21] There are two pathways to desire, there are autogenic and psychogenic. We often stereotype all women to be “brains” and men to be “body” in term of desire, but it is more like a continuum. [11:58] The formula Dr. Love came up with in Hot Monogamy is P(passion)=S2i (two sexual beings joined by sexual intimacy). [14:21] One of the strongest predictors of longevity is emotional regulation, the ability to calm, soothe and cheer yourself no matter what is happening. [16:16] The three steps to build trust: Say what you are going to do; Do it; Repeat steps 1 and 2. [18:09] Infatuation lowers our defenses, and the desire and brain chemistry cocktail leads us to focus only on the positive instead of processing negatives. [19:55] The all too common phase of “I love you, but I’m not in love with you” isn’t always something to break up over. Often times, it presents a critical moment where the infatuation has passed and you are at the threshold of true love. [23:56] Dr. Love adapts her model and teachings based on the current research and information, and Hot Monogamy will be updated to reflect the digital age. [28:47] Dr. Love shares her experience of getting her hormones checked and taking testosterone for a couple months. She saw that all the sexual cues that related to her desire were screaming at her under the influence of 1 cc of testosterone. [32:34] The discussion of “chore play” is important for taking the time to relax, and block out some time to create desire.

You have to be proactive.”

It’s one thing to be the Chief Marketing Officer of a large business but another thing to be the CMO of the world’s largest advertiser, P&G. I really enjoyed my latest interview with Jim Stengel who is the founder of The Jim Stengel Company and prior to that had a very successful career as the Global Marketing Officer (GMO) of P&G. In his seven years as the GMO, the company doubled its revenue. In today’s terms, the revenue he brought in during his tenure is equivalent to the revenue of approximately 30 AirBnBs. He has received more awards and recognitions than one could ever dream of. From being named onto Fortune’s Executive Dream Team to being the number one power player in marketing by AdAge through 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007. If there’s anyone who has reached the pinnacle of advertising and marketing, it’s Jim. What I took away from my interview with Jim was not all of the things that he accomplished professionally, but the importance of being a good human being. He’s incredibly humble and down to earth. He admits to the mistakes that he made in the early days as both a husband and a leader. He emphasizes the importance of his wife (who is #1) and the value he places on building relationships. Jim could have stopped after his career at P&G to relax and retire. Most people would have been more than happy with what he achieved. Instead, he’s continued to make it it his mission to help businesses and people reach their full potential. Here are some of the highlights from our conversation: Jim hustled as a child. To get a job delivering the local paper, he had to lie that he was 12 years old when he was only 10. It was the only way he could get the job. In addition to delivering the paper, he mowed lawns, shoveled driveways, worked at a pizza joint and did a lot of other scrappy jobs to make some money. His first grown-up job was with Time Inc. where he was hired into the books division. To my surprise, Jim was actually rejected for an internship at P&G. He didn’t make the cut but he didn’t give up and eventually got hired. It was a good thing that P&G didn't make the same mistake twice. On his first job, he was tasked with the launch of a new product, Duncan Hines. He was given the task to find a way to sample to every household in the US. With a $60 million sampling budget at his disposal, he managed to hire every delivery truck in the country to help him deliver the cookies. On rookie leadership mistakes, he talks about the importance of seeing what’s around the corner and what’s ahead of you. Too many leaders fall into the trap of tackling daily operational activities but fail to deliberately spend time thinking about the future of their business. On other business advice he would give, it would be that you can never fire too fast. When it comes to people related issues, you usually know in your gut as to what the decision should be. One bad apple on a team can infect many people and it’s important to remove those people immediately. The only time he ever considered leaving P&G was after his first year. Time Inc. called him back and offered him a job that would triple his salary. What kept him at P&G was the opportunity to learn and grow. From then on, he had a principle to never speak to head hunters. He’s a big believer that the key to life is resiliency. People who have bounced back from setbacks in their careers or personal life. These people are often the happiest people and have lived the most rewarding lives. His WFIO (We’re F&cked, it’s over) moment happened in the second year when he was running the business in Czechoslovakia. He was the only one on the team who didn’t have share growth that year. It was the moment when he thought that his job was on the line. But John Pepper, the CEO of P&G at the time, spent five minutes with him and provided a few words of assurance that the company believed in him and that he believed that he would get through it. Jim never forgot that conversation and it changed the way he viewed his situation. He encourages leaders to never underestimate the impact that they can have on their people. And yes, the business he ran turned around and the rest is history. Jim met his wife and proposed to her only three months later. To help seal the deal on his proposal, he made her a physical scrapbook documenting their experiences together. He’s what I call a “closer”. On mistakes he made as a husband, he talks about the times in his life when he didn’t always put his wife as number one and took her for granted with work, children and other obligations. Life gets in the way but one should always put their spouse as number one. On routines, exercise is a non-negotiable. He might sacrifice sleep or eating, but he will never sacrifice exercise. He tries to change it up all the time and will do water aerobics, tennis, yoga, a HIIT class, or something different. On the bucket list, he’s hoping to still play Roger Federer a game of tennis. He recently played Ana Ivanovic (the former number one ranked female tennis player). I took that as a humble brag. =P There’s a lot more from this interview so make sure to listen to the full interview. Either go to the SoundCloud link below or subscribe to our iTunes channel.

Thanks to everyone who joined us last night! I'm SOOOO sorry that Ellie was so fussy. She is only 6-weeks old after all! We worked to time everything right with her feeding and all to do the broadcast uninterrupted, but she had her own plan :P There's a little crying here and there, but that is our life right now! We didn't want to stop/cancel the broadcast, so you'll just hear a little baby noise in the background.
