In this episode, Simon takes advantage of Anita's absence to indulge his favourite topic: trusts and divorce.Simon is joined by three leading experts in the field:Emma Hargreaves  is a barrister at Serle Court chambers, specialising in contentious trust litigation.Abby Buckland is a partner in the family team at Kingsley Napley and was part of the team who were successful in an argument that a trust was a sham in Michael v Michael.Louise Woolrich is a partner at Carey Olsen in Jersey, specialising in trust litigation.We start by going back to basics and exploring what is a trust, and by getting to know the cast of characters who appear in any case involving trusts: the settlor, the trustee, the beneficiary and the protector. We answer the question “what is an offshore trust, and should we always be suspicious of them?”.We then travel through the various stages of a case involving trusts from disclosure to enforcement. We consider trusts as resources and nuptial settlements and discuss whether trustees should be joined to proceedings and, if they are, whether they should submit to the jurisdiction. We discuss how trustees can be involved in without prejudice negotiations and FDRs in order to try and bring about settlement. Finally, we look at how to get orders enforced, in England and offshore.We look at each aspect from the perspective of the beneficiary spouse, the non-beneficiary spouse and the trustee. Practical tips from our speakers at every stage, whoever you are advising.Abby refers to a number of key English law cases on nuptial settlements and sham:Ben Hashem [2008] EWHC 2380Brooks v Brooks [1996]Snook v. London & West Riding Investments Ltd [1967] 2 QB 786Thomas v Thomas [1995] 2 FLR 668Michael v Michael (No 1) [2024] EWFC 463Louise refers to key offshore decisions:Disclosure of trust informationArticle 29 of the Trusts (Jersey) Law 1984Re Rabaiotti 2000 JLR 173Re H Trust 2006 JLR 280Submission to the jurisdictionRe H Trust 2006 JLR 280In the Matter of the Poon Family Trust [2011] JRC 167, [2014] JRC 254A and [2015] JCA 109EnforcementArticle 9 of the Trusts (Jersey) Law – the “firewall provision”In the Matter of the X Trust 2002 JLR 377In the Matter of the IMK Family Trust 2008 JLR 250 and 2008 JLR 430In the Matter of the PQ Employer Financed Retirement Benefit Plan [2019] GRC 013Emma refers to the following cases and legislative provisions:Prest v Petrodel Resources LtdPugachevs53 Law of Property Act 1925s423 Insolvency Act 1986

Christ has already triumphed over Satan at the cross, and one day the battle will be over forever. We fight from victory, not for victory. We will anchor the series in hope. Jesus wins. The enemy is defeated. We are called to endure and overcome as victorious children of God. One day, the war will end and we will reign with him forever. Our world is caught in a battle that cannot be seen with human eyes. The Bible show The post The final victory (Laura Snook) appeared first on The Lakes Church Cairns.

God has given us armour to stand firm and weapons to advance against darkness. We'll highlight spiritual weapons like fasting, authority and forgiveness. Our world is caught in a battle that cannot be seen with human eyes. The Bible show us the reality of spiritual warfare, the strategies of our enemy, the victory of Christ, and the weapons God gives us to stand strong. In this series we'll learn how to resist the devil, overcome fear, guard our minds, and The post The weapons and armour of spiritual warfare (Geoff Snook) appeared first on The Lakes Church Cairns.

The enemy attacks our thoughts with lies, accusations, and destructive patterns. We need to identify the battle in our thought life and learn to replace lies with truth. We'll emphasise spiritual disciplines of prayer, worship and community.  Our world is caught in a battle that cannot be seen with human eyes. The Bible show us the reality of spiritual warfare, the strategies of our enemy, the victory of Christ, and the weapons God gives us to stand strong. In this The post Guarding your mind (Geoff Snook) appeared first on The Lakes Church Cairns.

This is week two of our new sermon series, Identity Crisis: Becoming Who We Are, Together In Christ. We're exploring the God-given longings we all experience and how, in intimate relationship with Jesus, and in the context of healthy community,  those longings can be most deeply and fully met. This week we'll look at the longing for affection. We often think of affection as physical attention... hugging, hand-holding, a pat on the back. But real affection is so much deeper than being "touchy-feely." To have affection toward someone is to set your heart and mind on being for another. To care with intention and love without condition. God has set His affections on us; He delights in who we are, just because we are His. And we are called to do the same for one another. ----------------------------------- TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP ----------------------------------- Let us know that you were watching with us and you will be entered to receive a free prize by completing our Connection Card: http://dsf.church/ecard Give Online: https://www.simplechurchgiving.net/App/Giving/dsf Message Notes: https://www.dayspringfellowship.com/messages Like, comment & subscribe to stay updated!

Temptation and fear are two of the enemy's fiercest weapons. God equips us with truth, faith, and his presence to overcome. We'll talk about practical steps to live free from both of these things using faith and prayer. Our world is caught in a battle that cannot be seen with human eyes.

I've always been a planner. I like routines and knowing what to expect. My dad however,  liked to change things up. I remember as a kid, driving home after being in town. From my perspective, there was a 'right' way to get home. But dad took a different route. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Home" he replied. "But this isn't the way home, " I said. He responded gently, "We're taking the scenic route." It wasn't the route I expected, but he was doing the driving.  The journey of being a Christ-follower is a lot like traveling the 'scenic route.' We think we know the way to get where we want to go, but God has a different path for us to travel. Following Him means surrendering our plans, our right to call the shots and going where He leads - even if the road is unfamiliar or intimidating.  I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 AM as we continue in our series Upside Down Kingdom: The Gospel According to Mark. You'll find us online by clicking the "Join Us Sunday" button on our website or connect with us via our YouTube channel.

“There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.” Dorothy Gale That classic line from the movie, The Wizard of Oz, has become iconic - representing the familiarity and comfort of home. As Dorothy wakes up in her own bed at the end of the movie, still murmuring those words, it reinforces the meaning of coming back to a place of safety, where you are known, loved and welcomed. Dorothy has had her grand adventure, but there's nothing better than coming home and sleeping in your own bed again.  This week, in our sermon series, Upside Down Kingdom: The Gospel According to Mark, we find Jesus returning home after some extended traveling. But his experience of coming home is nothing like Dorothy's. Sure, Nazareth is familiar, but not safe; and Jesus is certainly not welcomed. His family and friends aren't exactly impressed by the boy from the 'hood, now that he's all grown up. And His teaching definitely rubs them the wrong way. Just who does He think He is?

Ralston College presents a talk by Christopher Snook, Lecturer in the Department of Classics at Dalhousie University, on St. Augustine's great autobiographical text The Confessions. This talk offers a detailed walk through of Books VII and VIII of Augustine's text in light of Augustine's “abiding preoccupation with the nature of the created order.”  Snook explores how Augustine absorbed the  insights of Platonist philosophers like Plotinus and Porphyry but also moved beyond them as he sought a more embodied account of the nature of the human person. Augustine's own conversion stresses the importance of encountering models for life and reveals the centrality of the incarnate Logos to the Christian understandings of self-realization. This lecture was delivered on January 9th, 2025 at Ralston College's Savannah campus during the third term of the MA in the Humanities program.

Do you remember life before cell phones? Or email or the internet? Did you ever use traveler's checks or money orders? How about cameras? Kodak Brownie? Instamatic? Polaroid? 35mm?  Change is inevitable. And often, it's beneficial! Yet many, if not most of us resist change, even when what's new is better than the old. Change is uncomfortable. In fact, if doing something new or trying a new way doesn't feel awkward at first, you're probably not doing it right!  Often, change feels like a loss. We like what we know, even if it's not working very well. As we pick up our study in Mark's gospel this week, we find Jesus continuing to ruffle the feathers of the religious leaders. Jesus' way of doing things breaks all the rules of their religious game. And they are not happy about it. The old ways are just fine, thank you very much. There's no need to change things... or is there? ----------------------------------- TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP ----------------------------------- Let us know that you were watching with us and you will be entered to receive a free prize by completing our Connection Card: http://dsf.church/ecard Give Online: https://www.simplechurchgiving.net/App/Giving/dsf Message Notes: https://www.dayspringfellowship.com/messages Like, comment & subscribe to stay updated!

Capt. Pauly Ross is quickly becoming one of the most respected young guides in the Florida Keys, and for good reason. At just 24 years old, he's already earning a reputation that many seasoned captains spend a lifetime building. Born and raised in Islamorada, Pauly grew up on the deck of the Relentless, the legendary offshore fishing vessel captained by his father, Paul Ross—an icon in the sportfishing world with seven Gold Cup Sailfish Series titles to his name. The Ross family name carries serious weight on the water, and Pauly is honoring that legacy while forging his own path in the backcountry and tarpon arenas. With a quiet confidence and humble nature, Pauly operates with the precision, calm, and instincts of someone twice his age. He's a natural guide—sharp-eyed, tactical, and relentlessly focused on giving his anglers the best possible shot. Pauly's list of accolades is already impressive. He's a multi-time winner of the Poor Boys Tarpon Tournament and a champion of the Herman Lucerne Backcountry Tournament. His name is consistently in the mix during tarpon season, where he's recognized as a serious threat across all the major tournaments. Although, the most amazing accomplishment, I believe, is that he recently caught a super slam (Tarpon, Permit, Bonefish, Snook, & Redfish) solo on fly in one day! I am not sure anyone has done that to date - but could be wrong. But accolades only tell part of the story. What sets Pauly apart is his work ethic and presence on the water. Whether poling through skinny flats or chasing rolling tarpon at dawn, he brings the same level of preparation, quiet intensity, and deep respect for the sport every day. His guests quickly realize they're fishing with someone special—a guide with both heart and heritage. Capt. Pauly Ross represents the next generation of elite Florida Keys fishing. And if his early success is any indication, he's just getting started.

Snook, who played Shiv Roy on Succession, was just nominated for a Tony for playing all the characters in The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway. "I don't know what comes after this," she says. She talks about playing 26 different parts in Dorian, why she almost didn't audition for Succession, and the word she could never quite say in an American accent. Also, Ken Tucker shares a remembrance of the leader of Pere Ubu, David Thomas.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

CCE-850ALast week I asked listeners of the podcast to let me know if they were tuning in, and sure enough, several of you did reach out! So, perhaps this Friday edition of the newsletter going out as a podcast will continue. Today's edition doesn't have any new information but instead is an audio summary of some of what has been going on with voices from some of the decision-makers.I'm Sean Tubbs, and this one's a bit of a puzzle to put together. In the print edition below you'll see new versions of a couple of the stories as I had to develop a new script. I have not included the images, but these podcasts will now have normal shout-outs. No more house ads!Two stories in this edition, both about Charlottesville's budget for FY2026:* City Council makes last minute decisions at final work session before tonight's vote on $265M budget* Council adopts $265.2 million budget after another conversation about transit fundingFirst shout-out: Plant Virginia NativesSpring is here and there's still time to plan for upgrades to your outdoors. You can take some time to get ready for spring! Check out Plant Virginia Natives!Plant Virginia Natives is part of a partnership with ten regional campaigns for ten different ecosystems across Virginia, from the Northern Piedmont to the Eastern Shore.

For the Charlottesville area, download a free copy of the handbook: Piedmont Native Plants: A Guide for Landscapes and Gardens.Plant Northern Piedmont Natives is for anyone who works with native plants, whether you are a property owner, private consultant, landscape designer, nursery operator, conservation group, or local government.(image)A summary of the April 10, 2025 Charlottesville City Council budget work sessionOne of the challenges of doing a podcast version at the end of a week is that I may have to rearrange two previous stories in order for the audio edition to make sense. That's the case this week with Charlottesville City Council's adoption of a $265.2 million budget for fiscal year 2026. That happened on April 14 at a special meeting.But before we get to that, we have to go back to the work session held on April 10.In Charlottesville, the budget process never really stops. In fact, it keeps on going up to the last minute of adoption. New items were added at the work session that had not previously come up.At the beginning of the April 10 work session, they learned about additional spending that can happen because new funding has been found since the beginning of the budget process in March.“We do have supplemental revenue over and above the proposed budget of $774,263,” said Krisy Hammill, the city's budget director.The driver of that change was an additional $700,000 increase in Business and Professional Licenses that had not been factored in.There were many numbers thrown around during the final work session. Before Council signed off on how to spend that money, City Manager Sam Sanders went through how $915,620 in “Council Discretionary Funds” would be spent to leave a balance of $440,406 to spend.“Kind of thinking that with all the volatility that we have in DC, there could very easily be a series of moments that come up and that this would give you the flexibility to make some decisions and how we could support gaps in what could happen based on decisions and how it actually lands in the community,” Sanders said.Staff codified a list of what Council had already decided to spend over the course of four budget work sessions.* $250,000 to the Blue Ridge Coalition for the Homeless to cover the costs of a federal grant not obtained because there was an error related to a recent leadership transition.* $162,000 to the Piedmont Housing Alliance to pay for the cost of staff who work on eviction prevention.* $50,000 in cash to the Piedmont Housing Alliance related to eviction prevention.* An additional $43,150 to the Boys and Girls Club for a total of $116,000 in the FY26 budget.* An additional $28,800 to Lighthouse Studios to fund two programs for a total funding of $40,000 in the FY26 budget.* An additional $6,000 to Loaves and Fishes to bring their total funding to $50,000 for FY26.* An additional $1,200 to Piedmont CASA for a total of $10,000.* An additional $6,600 to Live Arts for a total of $16,000.* An additional $7,100 to Legal Aid Justice Center for a total of $40,000* An additional $1,500 to SARA for a total of $25,000.* A total of $104,261 in capital improvement program funds will be redirected to the Dogwood Vietnam Memorial. Read this story for more information.At the meeting, Hammill handed out a spreadsheet that provided more details about other programs that were added to the list such as an annual payment to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center. This was initially left out of the budget because the organization did not fill out an application through a portal called Zoom Grants.The payment to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center was $228,993 in FY2024 and $246,993 in FY2025. The organization is considered fundamental which means it no longer has to compete for funding through the Vibrant Community Fund process . The payment for FY2026 will be $228,200.“By not submitting through Zoom Grants, they didn't appear on the list, but they didn't know that they had to still submit through Zoom Grants,” Sanders said. “So we have some course corrections that we need to do there and making sure that everyone understands what they have to do still, even though they're in a non competitive round.”Sanders said there was a similar error with the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority. That government body is considered “fundamental” but also sought additional funding.“We have to have a conversation with them about their pursuits of funding going forward to your point they could be here and in the competitive rounds,” Sanders said. “I don't particularly care for that. I think that makes it double dipping.”Sanders said Deputy City Manager James Freas and the Office of Community Solutions are currently performing an audit of CRHA as a way of building a better working relationship.City Councilor Michael Payne, a member of the CRHA Board, called for a joint work session to plan for the likelihood of reduced federal funding for public housing units.At one point in the conversation, Council initially signaled a willingness to add an additional $16,000 to the United Way for their Prosper program. Deputy City Manager Ashley Marshall made a pitch for the program at the April 10 meeting. The program had previously been called the Financial Resiliency Task Force.Another last minute item is $30,000 for the Tonsler League headed by former City Councilor and current CRHA Chair Wes Bellamy. The organization had expected that the City of Charlottesville would have received an additional $250,000 from the state government for operations, but Governor Glenn Youngkin recently vetoed that from the budget.“He received a $250,000 grant for this current year that ends in June,” Sanders said. “I am planning to check with him to see if. If he will expend all of that and avoid the risk of having to send anything back.”Council supported giving the Tonsler League $30,000.At half an hour into the final budget work session held three days after the final public hearing, Sanders asked Council if there was any other item they might want to fund and gave them the current balance.“The question that we are really posing at this point is, is there anything else that you all have been pondering?” Sanders asked. “Because we try to remind you that this is the end of the road and we are truly down to $394,000 that today, right now at this moment, is your Council Strategic Initiatives Fund.”That prompted Councilor Lloyd Snook to express a concern.“So we haven't even gotten to the fiscal year and we've already cut it down?” Snook asked.“That's correct,” Sanders said.Snook said he felt the process was not appropriate.“I find myself trying to figure out what possible process we're advancing here,” Snook said. “And the answer is it's still back to whatever anybody throws up against the wall at Council at the last minute. I just think that's a terrible way to do business.”Sanders said he understood Snook's concern.“I understand and appreciate the last minute nature of it and I'm not a fan of always doing that and I think in these, this, these two moments specifically, we can identify a way to bring you critical information so that you can have that presented to you and then you can make that determination on if you believe the item is ready to go forward,” Sanders said, adding that both Marshall and Bellamy could appear before Council to formally make a pitch.There were at least three Councilors who supported funding for Tonsler, but not yet for the Prosper Program.There was also a long discussion about increasing the number of transit drivers to 82 in order to restore service to pre-pandemic levels. This comment from Sanders finishes off that discussion and sets up a conversation for the future.“I think what I heard was that you are not going to attempt to unpack the budget at this late stage and find a way to make 82 drivers a reality,” Sanders said. “But what you are indicating is that you support the desire for added drivers and that you're looking to have us revisit that with you at some point in the future later in 2025 for the possible consideration of the use of one time funds for the bridge that would be required to get us to the next budget where we will realize the true cost.”Sanders also said he still wants to hold on to the $22.4 million surplus from FY2024 in case federal programs are cut.“The conversations that are being had in regards to SNAP and Medicaid are real in that they're big,” Sanders said. “And if those cuts were to occur, we will see a number of our constituency impacted directly by that.”Sanders said that while the city is blessed to have a large surplus, it will go very quickly if the local government picks up what had been a federal program.Tonight's meeting to adopt is not the end of the process. Because of a second advertising error, Council still has to hold a public hearing on the tax rates and that will take place at the next regular meeting on April 21. By law, Council cannot adopt those tax rates at that meeting and must wait at least three days. A second special meeting will be held on April 24.I had hoped to tell you more about the next three items by going back to the audio, but I've got to get to the next set of stories:* Sanders had an update on a potential low-barrier shelter. The General Assembly's version of the budget had $1.5 million going to the City of Charlottesville for this purpose, and Youngkin cut this in half. The budget has not yet been finalized and Sanders said Senator Creigh Deeds is still trying to make the case to restore the funding.* Sanders said he believes the city would need to provide operating funds to any grocery that sets up at 501 Cherry Avenue.* There is still a possibility that the city might provide funding for UVA's affordable housing project at 10th and Wertland. They will be asked to submit a request as part of the next funding cycle this fall.Second shout-out: Piedmont Master Gardeners seek items for Green Elephant SaleIf you are cleaning out your garage or basement this winter and have garden implements or yard ornaments you no longer need, the Piedmont Master Gardeners will take them off your handsThe Piedmont Master Gardeners are seeking donations of new and used garden tools, hoses, decorative items, outdoor furniture, and virtually anything else that can be used to maintain or enjoy a home landscape.

He had introduced a $264,474,183 budget on March 4.“Things have changed a little bit, as it always does, from the proposed date to your adoption date,” Sander saidThere have been five budget work sessions and two public hearings on the document itself, but yet to come is a public hearing on the tax rates for 2025.“What I'll point out to you just in basic highlights, is that the revenue expenditure at this time has now risen to $265,248,446,” Sanders said.The tax rates have not changed for 2025, but another year of growth in assessments has resulted in more revenue. The assessor's office reported an average of a 7.74 percent increase in late January.One spending change in the budget is an additional $600,000 for Charlottesville Area Transit which partially came out of a push for local advocates.“We added a transit mechanic to help with operations,” Sanders said. “We are also maintaining fare free service across the system and absorbing the absence of the flexible federal funds because those funds are now not available to us as they have been.”Other highlights:* There's $5.4 million over the next five years for sidewalk repair and construction* There's $12.7 million in spending on affordable housing initiatives in FY26* The FY26 budget is the first to apply to a fourth collective bargaining unitCity Councilor Michael Payne asked about the status of a $22.4 million surplus from FY2024. Sanders made the decision to keep the amount in reserve and Council has so far agreed. The idea is to keep the money available while a new era for the federal government continues to settle in. He also said he has been meeting with nonprofit groups who have been making presentations on funding they have lost from the federal government.“So they are first trying to recoup what they've spent and hope that they might actually get some continuation,” Sanders said. “So that is beginning to build. We're beginning to see that finally the city organization itself has not incurred a loss. But we still continue to monitor just believing that it's just a matter of time. It's not a matter of if, it is actually a matter of when.”A generally-held practice in municipal budgeting is to not use one-time money such as surpluses to hire staffing.“Something like staffing is not ideal because we can't guarantee that funding to occur year to year,” said City Councilor Natalie Oschrin.The conversation went back to transit. The City of Charlottesville owns Charlottesville Area Transit and has full control of its operations. Albemarle County and Charlottesville have entered into an entity called the Charlottesville Albemarle Regional Transit Authority but so far that is entirely about planning for transit operations.Albemarle Supervisors vote to join Regional Transit Authority, December 15, 2024Charlottesville joins regional transit authority; Council holds first reading on federal transit allocations, December 28, 2024Charlottesville Area Transit has no independent board of directors which makes Council the sole authority over its operations. There had once been an advisory body made up of citizens but that was eliminated sometime during the pandemic.An advocacy group called IMPACT made up of various churches has been pressuring Albemarle and Charlottesville to increase the amount they spent on transit to hire additional drivers. Their specific number has been 82, a number believed to enable Charlottesville Area Transit to increase service.“The solution to long wait times is very straightforward: we need more bus drivers,” reads their website. “Right now, Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) has budgeted 67 drivers. Getting to wait times of half an hour will require at least 80.”In Virginia, cities and counties are completely independent of each other. There are regional services such as that provided by the Rivanna Water and Service Authority, but localities have to adopt budgets independently.IMPACT's public event was held on April 8, over a month into the budget process for Charlottesville and about six weeks after Albemarle County Executive Jeffrey Richardson introduced that locality's budget.At their work session on April 10, City Council indicated they wanted to support IMPACT's request but the timing is not right for the existing budget. They agreed to hold conversations about how to get there shortly after the budget is adopted.Vice Mayor Brian Pinkston and Charlottesville City Council were the two members of Council who went to hear from IMPACT at what they call the Nehemiah Action.“The commitment that the two of us made was to try to get something for this coming the fiscal year that we're working on now, which means some sort of amendment or whatever,” said City Councilor Brian Pinkston.Several members of the group were in attendance at the meeting and Pinkston addressed them directly from the dais and encouraged them to get involved earlier in the budget process.“I want people to know that this is not the end,” Pinkston said. “We heard you last week, we're working on it. And what you're hearing now is the sort of public outworking of the conversations that need to happen.”For over four years of reporting on transit issues, take a look at this tab on Information Charlottesville.Council adopted the budget after a final explanation of last minute changes such as $30,000 for the Tonsler League to help keep it going after Governor Youngkin vetoed an anticipated $250,000 from Virginia's budget.Council will hold a public hearing on the tax rate for 2025 on April 21 and then will hold a special meeting on April 24.Postscript for #850AToday's edition was intended to have additional audio but I ran out of time. Also the podcast edition can be less than half an hour long. The version that airs on WTJU has to be at least 29 minutes long. There was no radio version last week so I'm going to put another story or two in that version from #846-A. Behind the scenes I have quite a bit of organization that allows me to seemingly produce more content than entities with budgets that are much larger than mine. One day there will be more of everything. This is a public episode.

"Be sure to wear a jacket!" "Don't forget your homework!" "Make good choices!" "Be kind!"   "Have a good day!" "I'm praying for you!" "I love you more!"  You've most likely heard these phrases... maybe even said them. They're the little bits of encouragement or reminders we share as we say goodbye to someone we care about - whether just for the day, or an extended length of time. We are in week 6 of our series Hope for Today // Faith for Tomorrow. We're working our way through Paul's letters to the church in Thessalonica. This week, we're unpacking the final verses of 1 Thessalonians 5. It's the end of Paul's first letter to this beloved church family. And he has some final words of encouragement and some reminders before he brings his letter to a close.  Final words can sometimes sound cliche, but as we look beneath the surface, we'll see that Paul's words are infused with a depth of meaning that we might miss, if we just passed them off as a friendly goodbye. I hope you'll join us this Sunday at 11 AM as we wrap up the first of Paul's letter to the Thessalonians. You can worship with us via Facebook, YouTube, or by clicking the 'Join Us Sunday' button on our website. We would be delighted to have you join us in person. Come have a cup of coffee and make a new friend. We'd love to connect with you. We do know that 11 AM on Sunday doesn't work for everyone. If that's you, the service will be available on-demand, so that you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule. And it's no cliche... we really can't wait to worship with you this Sunday! ----------------------------------- TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP ----------------------------------- Let us know that you were watching with us and you will be entered to receive a free prize by completing our Connection Card: http://dsf.church/ecard Give Online: https://www.simplechurchgiving.net/App/Giving/dsf Message Notes: https://www.dayspringfellowship.com/messages Like, comment & subscribe to stay updated!

It seems like the next big thing in the swimbait scene is starting to hatch. Snook fishing—and saltwater or brackish water swimbait fishing in general—has been taking off over the past 3-4 years. Anthony has been a part of this movement since almost the beginning, and he hasn't let up since, helping to mainstream the snook swimbait fishing scene in Florida.From spillway fishing to canal fishing and even flats fishing, he shares his insights with us. Snook has quickly jumped to the top of my list of things I need to do ASAP. Swimbaiting for bass is cool, but this is the kind of episode you need to hear—the crazy stuff we're missing out on in most other states.

I love to travel! I enjoy seeing new places, meeting new people, and riding new rollercoasters. I don't know if the Apostle Paul necessarily enjoyed traveling - it was definitely a more arduous endeavor then than it is for us today. But I'm sure he knew a thing or two about what it takes to prepare for a long journey and the importance of planning ahead.  This is week 3 of our series Hope for Today // Faith for Tomorrow and we're in chapter 3 of Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians. In this section of his letter, we catch a glimpse of Paul's deep desire (to travel) to be with his Thessalonian friends. But even more than that, he wanted to be sure that they were living each day with their eternal destination in view. Day-to-day life can easily distract or discourage us from focusing on eternity. There is much that demands our attention. But Paul reminds us of the importance of holding tight to an eternal perspective.  ----------------------------------- TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP ----------------------------------- Let us know that you were watching with us and you will be entered to receive a free prize by completing our Connection Card: http://dsf.church/ecard Give Online: https://www.simplechurchgiving.net/App/Giving/dsf Message Notes: https://www.dayspringfellowship.com/messages Like, comment & subscribe to stay updated!

Doug and the callers talk about fishing and then this question comes up: Which is better Salt water fishing or fresh water? Hmm...I'll let you be the judge. Of course another topics of discussion is the Trout limits. How is this going to benefit the fishing community in the long run? What do you think? Well, Doug explains it to us. You just be sure to tune in to hear what he has to say. Plus, Doug gives us and update on his progress on cleaning out his garage. Then Doug tells us, why is it so important for us, to carry a compass when hunting. Plus, reflecting on good ol' days of jumping off or into things. Doug and the callers are surprised at the things they did.

Don calls up Eric Muhoberac, from the Louisiana Kayak Company, to discuss how the weather this week has been rough for paddlers of all types but don't fret, one of the foremost and highly anticipated tournaments of the year, the Minimalist Challenge, will be here before you know it, and a huge Snook discovery making waves in LA and MS!

On this episode, Andrew catches up with Academy Award winning master of stop motion animation, Adam Elliot, and Emmy award and AACTA award winning screen legend, Sarah Snook, to talk about their mollusk-motion flick, Memoir of a Snail.Memoir of a Snail is driven by the delightfully dark sense of comedy and a relatable pathos, both of which bring the off-kilter world of Grace Pudel (Sarah Snook) and her equally orphaned twin brother Gilbert (Kodi Smit-McPhee) to life. It's a film that's resonated immensely with audiences around the world, with each person able to find a little bit of themselves in this tender tale of Grace and her obsession with snails.As always, Elliot is able to bring forth a welcome sense of groundedness to his characters, and while they may physically appear eccentric, there's something about each and every one of them that makes us feel seen. As with his previous film, Mary & Max, Elliot actively removes stigmas associated with those who live with mental illnesses, while also shining a light on those who try to vilify, condemn, or in the case of Gilbert, cruelly convert them away from their true self.The authenticity that sits at the core of Memoir of a Snail is not just driven by the characters we see on screen, but also from the empathetic and grounded voice work from Snook, Smit-McPhee, and other Aussie screen icons like Jackie Weaver, Magda Szubanski, Tony Armstrong, Eric Bana, while French icon Dominique Pinon also makes an appearance.In the following conversations with Adam, then with Sarah, I talk about how they both built that relatability on screen, what it means to show Australian stories in this way, and curiously, the importance of dress up boxes in the homes of Australian kids. There's really something for everyone here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don calls up Robbie Campo from Campo's Marina to go over one of the oddest catches made near his marina, a Snook, and Robbie gives us a preview of some winter fishing around Louisiana's coastline water as Sheepsheads, Trout, and more fish are packing our waters.

In this festive and reflective episode of The Guide Post, the team dives into holiday themes and fishing memories. Tony, Kyle, Scotty, and Cody share stories about the best and worst gifts they've ever received—from mismatched boots to beloved pets—offering heartfelt and humorous anecdotes from the holiday season. The discussion transitions to the challenges facing fisheries today, with each guest voicing their one wish for the future of fisheries conservation. The guys emphasize the need for courage among advocates and the importance of remembering what fisheries once were to inspire action today. Packed with laughs, personal tales, and calls to action, this episode celebrates the spirit of the season and the shared love of fishing.

Ralston College presents a talk by Christopher Snook, Lecturer in the Department of Classics at Dalhousie University, on the influence of Dante's Purgatorio on two of T.S. Eliot's most important works: The Waste Land and Four Quartets. Mr Snook attends, in particular, to how Eliot's treatment of fragments represents at once both a departure from and a return to medieval understandings of the whole. This medieval understanding is evidenced in the “manifold articulation” of particulars within the architecture of the Gothic cathedral, the literary shape of the Divine Comedy, and the logical structure of the Summa Theologicae. Mr Snook's lecture was given in the final term of the 2023-24 year of Ralston College's MA in Humanities program, which focused on the concept of the Whole.    Applications are now open for the upcoming year of the MA in the Humanities program, which will focus on the theme of Fellowship. Apply now.    Authors, Artists, and Works Mentioned in this Episode:    Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologicae René Descartes, Meditations on First Philosophy Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness Charles Baudelaire, “The Painter of Modern Life”  T. S. Eliot, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” T. S. Eliot, “The Hollow Men” T. S. Eliot, The Waste Land T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot Dante, The Divine Comedy  T. S.

Ralston College presents a talk by Christopher Snook, Lecturer in the Department of Classics at Dalhousie University, on T.S. Eliot's modernist masterpiece The Waste Land. The lecture explores the personal, historical, and literary contexts of Eliot's poem. Through an engagement with the Western tradition that is simultaneously rich and fragmented, The Waste Land confronts cultural and personal crises that have atrophied both memory and desire. Snook finds in Eliot's work a mournful modernism that serves as a serious and searching rejoinder to the more frivolous and enervated responses present in some modernist schools, most notably Dadaism. This lecture was delivered on April 15th, 2024 at Ralston College's Savannah campus, during the final term of the second year of the MA in the Humanities Program. Applications are now open for next year's MA program. Full scholarships are available. https://www.ralston.ac/apply Mentioned in this episdoe:  T. S.
