Henry S. Whitehead was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on March 5, 1882, and graduated from Harvard University in 1904 (in the same class as Franklin D. Roosevelt).[3] As a young man he led an active and worldly life in the first decade of the 20th century, playing football at Harvard University, editing a Reform democratic newspaper in Port Chester, New York, and serving as commissioner of athletics for the AAU.He later attended Berkeley Divinity School in Middletown, Connecticut, and in 1912 he was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Church. During 1912-1913 he worked as a clergyman in Torrington, Connecticut. From 1913 to 1917 he served as rector in Christ's Church, Middletown, Connecticut.[2] From 1918 to 1919 he was Pastor of the Children, Church of St. Mary the Virgin, New York City.[2]He served as Archdeacon of the Virgin Islands from 1921 to 1929.[1] While there, living on the island of St. Croix, Whitehead gathered the material he was to use in his tales of the supernatural.[2] A correspondent and friend of H. P. Lovecraft, Whitehead published stories from 1924 onward in Adventure, Black Mask, Strange Tales,[3] and especially Weird Tales. In his introduction to the collection Jumbee, R. H. Barlow would later describe Whitehead as a member of "the serious Weird Tales school".[3] Many of Whitehead's stories are set on the Virgin Islands and draw on the history and folklore of the region. Several of these stories are narrated by Gerald Canevin, a New Englander living on the islands and a fictional stand-in for Whitehead.[2] Whitehead's supernatural fiction was partially modelled on the work of Edward Lucas White and William Hope Hodgson.[3] Whitehead's "The Great Circle" (1932) is a lost-race tale with sword and sorcery elements.[3]In later life, Whitehead lived in Dunedin, Florida, as rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd and a leader of a boys' group there. H. P. Lovecraft was a particular friend as well as a correspondent of Whitehead's, visiting him at his Dunedin home for several weeks in 1931. Lovecraft recorded in his letters that he entertained the boys with readings of his stories such as "The Cats of Ulthar". Lovecraft said of Whitehead: "He has nothing of the musty cleric about him; but dresses in sports clothes, swears like a he-man on occasion, and is an utter stranger to bigotry or priggishness of any sort."Whitehead suffered from a long-term gastric problem, but an account of his death by his assistant suggests he died from a fall or a stroke or both.[1] He died late in 1932, but few of his readers learned about this until an announcement and brief profile, by H. P. Lovecraft, appeared in the March 1933 Weird Tales, issued in Feb 1933. Whitehead was greatly mourned and missed by lovers of weird fiction at his death.[4]R. H. Barlow collected many of Whitehead's letters, planning to publish a volume of them; but this never appeared, although Barlow did contribute the introduction to Whitehead's Jumbee and Other Uncanny Tales (1944).

It's hard to keep our thoughts at bay and it requires us to have a firm commitment to stay focused. We have this same attention deficit when we come to God, our mind wanders, our thoughts take over.

Pomyślałam, że utykamy pomiędzy młotem a kowadłem, kiedy weszłam do sklepu z książkami. Na półce z działu “poradniki” po lewej stronie “sztuka odpuszczania” po prawej “szybciej, mocniej, bardziej”. Wzięłam po jednej, losowej pozycji i pomyślałam, że to nawet zabawne, jak niektóre treści wzajemnie się wykluczają. I pomyślałam, że nagram o tym podcast.Zadzwoniłam do @abramowiczdaria jak zazwyczaj, kiedy jadę autem i zaczęłyśmy o tym gadać. Nie pierwszy raz, bo mam wrażenie, że rozmawiamy o tym w kółko - ze sobą i do ludzi, z którymi współpracujemy. Że poradnik, mimo całej swej autorytarnej mądrości zapisanej czarno na białym (dużą czcionką i interlinią, koniecznie z miejscem na notatki, aby ukryć znikomy udział treści w tym dziele), nie zbuduje konceptualizacji i nie odpowie na pytanie “jak żyć”. Zdrowie psychiczne i dobrostan może wypaść tam, gdzie wrzuci go algorytm. W tej czarno-bieli symboliczna była półka, jako odcinek symbolizujący pewien wymiar: determinacji, eksploatacji i siły, przez poszukiwanie balansu, ładowanie baterii aż do odpuszczania tego, na co nie ma się wpływu (a przecież jest całkiem sporo takich zmiennych). I o tym brakującym (lub nie wybrzmiewającym w popularnym przekazie) środku jest ta rozmowa. Podobnie jak kawa nie wyklucza herbaty, tak i dociskanie nie sprawi, że potrzebne będzie odpuszczanie, a to, co wiemy na pewno, to to, że bez zdjęcia nogi z gazu kontrolka paliwa wyda stosowne ostrzeżenia. Te jednak, jeżeli zostaną zignorowane, nie będą ostrzegać w nieskończoność.Wyszło nam nieco osobiście, zatem dajcie znać, co zabieracie z tej rozmowy dla siebie i w jakim rytmie planujecie posuwać się na wymiarze ciśnienia/intensywności w nowym roku.xoxo, Gutral (Gada)Za możliwość realizacji i dystrybucji tego podcastu dziękuję Patronom i Patronkom

Hello there, I'm Jonathan Gouthier, your host for the Faith First Podcast, and the Associate Pastor at First Church here in Torrington, CT. Our world has become very pluralistic in its thoughts about God. They've even stated that all roads lead to the same God. Yet Scripture tells us something different. We are so glad you've joined us for today's episode where I sit down with our Lead Pastor Steve Darr to discuss “No Other God”. Hey Steve, welcome.In this episode you'll discover:Why we are not to have any idolsWhat a modern-day idol isWhy we need to embrace Jesus + Nothing = EverythingHow deception beginsWhat to do with new age practicesThe God of the Bible, Yahweh, is the great and only I AM. Why would you want to worship anything else? If you have Him, you have everything. Without Him, you have nothing that matters or lasts. Therefore we must completely surrender to Him and worship Him.If you've just found out about the Faith First Podcast, we are so glad you joined us for this episode and we encourage you to hit the notification bell below to be alerted to when the next episode launches.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA—When Wade Leist first came back to the family's stockyards from auctioneer school in 2004, his dad didn't exactly turn the auctions over to him — and he says that's a good thing. Instead, the elder Leist started his son out selling a few baby calves here and there, and spending plenty of time working in the back.  The tactic paid off, as 20 years later, Leist came out on top in the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship, hosted by Livestock Marketing Association. It was the ninth time to compete for the auctioneer who regularly sells at Mitchell Livestock Marketing, Mitchell, South Dakota, United Producers Inc., St. Louis, Michigan, and his family's Northern Michigan Livestock, Gaylord, Michigan. The bid-caller earned his spot in the contest by winning the Torrington, Wyoming, qualifier last fall. He and 29 other semi-finalists battled it out in Oklahoma City June 12-15, participating in an interview competition and then selling on the block at the Oklahoma National Stockyards. As the new champion, Leist will spend the next year traveling the country, sharing his auctioneering skills with other livestock auction markets and acting as a spokesperson on behalf of the association and the livestock marketing industry. It's something he looks forward to — and a responsibility he doesn't take lightly. “I can't wait to go to work,” he said. “Both for the people who have supported me along the way, but also those who have never heard of me and are just excited to have the champion come sell. “Auction market owners care for and work hard for their producer customers. That they would invite me to come and represent them means a tremendous amount to me.” Dakota Davis, Waukomis, Oklahoma, was named reserve champion, and Dean Edge, Rimbey, Alberta, Canada, was runner-up. Jace Thompson, Billings, Montana, was the high score rookie and Barrett Simon, Rosalia, Kansas, had the top interview score. Rounding out the top 10 were: Justin Dodson, Welch, Oklahoma; Eric Drees, Caldwell, Idaho; Brennin Jack, Virden, Manitoba, Canada; Sixto Paiz, Portales, New Mexico; and Zach Zumstein, Marsing, Idaho. A one-hour highlight show from the 2024 competition will air on RFD-TV July 8. The 2025 World Livestock Auctioneer Championship will be held June 4-7 in Dunlap, Iowa.

It was big Torrington day on the show. The guys broke news about a new restaurant in Torrington, chatted up Burr Pond and spoke to a comedian (Colin Mochrie) who is coming to the Warner Theater.

PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK in your social media so others who loves strange and macabre stories can listen too: https://weirddarkness.com/archives/18269==========HOUR ONE: Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines. The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That's the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don't care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool! (Ghostly Homes And Ghost-Loving Buyers)==========HOUR TWO: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth? Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it's now extinct. But then how do you explain sightings of the massive airborne creature as recently as 2018? (The Giant Thunderbird Lives) *** Sometimes, the darkness of night can hide frightening secrets. Especially if you are alone. (You'll Never Guess What Happened While You Were Asleep)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Robert Ressler came up against a lot of resistance, but his dedicated focus on the minds and motives of serial murderers created what we know today as criminal profiling. (The Man Who Created Criminal Profiling) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:BOOK: “Demonic Foes: My Twenty-Five Years as a Psychiatrist Investigating Possessions, Diabolic Attacks, and the Paranormal” by Dr. Richard Gallagher: https://amzn.to/2YSlhBJBOOK: “20 Commonly Asked Questions About Demons” by Daniel C.
