While Mary and Sorrowful prepare to search for the lost city of Gold in the Orinoco, the crew of the Caliban have a very different challenge ahead: get their old buddy Sam Axe off scott free for borrowing a ship. The puritans of Providence Island have secrets that they guard on this island, secrets that many are eager to steal from them... Will this new alliance succeed? Or will it be cast asunder before it can even set sail?

A programme to mark Mothering Sunday that has our presenter’s name all over it; Mary Stallard explores the relevance and significance for us today of Jesus’s mother, Mary of Nazareth. We hear about some of the long-standing traditions that have evolved around Mothering Sunday. It’s a day on which many church communities will honour their mothers and grandmothers as well as Mary herself. During the programme we hear from both Roman Catholics and Protestants about what Mary means to them. We also learn how Mary is the inspiration for contemporary religious movements and prayer groups. While Mary is loved by many to the extent of prayers offered to her, she has become a divisive person for others. Certainly, the ‘Magnificat’ - Mary’s poetic expression upon hearing she would be the mother of Jesus - has been seen as a powerful text. But with lines such as ‘he hath put down the mighty from their seat’, it can also make for an uncomfortable message. Finally we consider another text - the ‘Stabat Mater’, Mary’s outpouring of grief at the foot of the cross upon which Jesus is being crucified, and explore whether it has anything to say to us during the present pandemic. Our guests are the Very Revd Sarah Rowland-Jones OBE, Dean of St David’s Cathedral; the Revd Dr Gareth Leyshon and Revd Fr Matthew Roache-Saunders; Lucy Williams from Cwmbran and a member of ‘Focolare’, Revd Fr Damian Jackson SJ from St Beuno’s Jesuit Spirituality Centre in Denbighshire, and the Revd Dr Jennie Hurd, Chair of the Synod Cymru district of the Methodist Church. Music in the programme includes extracts from ‘Ave Maria’ by Robert Parsons, The St David’s Service by Neil Cox, ‘Stabat Mater’ by Giovanni Pergolesi and popular Marian hymns including ‘Daily daily’, and ‘Immaculate Mary’.

The name Brickell has become synonymous with the upscale financial district located on the southside of the Miami River. However, long before the name became a brand for an important quarter near downtown Miami, it was the surname of a prominent family that settled southside when the area was a sparsely populated outpost and long before it became what it is today. Those who are familiar with the story of the Brickell family may know their role in the formation of the city of Miami but may not be familiar with their story prior to arriving in Miami. It was a serendipitous journey to Australia that led William Brickell into great wealth, but also led him to find his wife. While Mary and Bill Brickell met and married in Australia, it was ultimately their journey to the wilderness along the Miami River that cast the family in a leading role in the formation of the Magic City.

Two victories in hand but more battles to come, the two crews continue their quests. While Mary and Sorrowful enjoy their nearly bloodless victory on newly retaken Barbados, they encounter evidence that Sorrowful's old tricks may have put Hawley on the tail of something interesting. Meanwhile, flush with plunder from Jamaica, the crew of the Caliban gather around Sam Axe and hear more of his past with this mysterious Brothers Pimm Society.

While Mary and Thomas worry over a still-unconscious Brigitte, the rest of the crew of the Caliban prepare to seize a Spanish military ship. With the treasure fleet sailing soon, they'll need every edge they can get... and with inside knowledge of a newly inspired Captain Diallo, they hope to pick off a prize while its away from its protection.

While Mary takes a little break, Sarah's friend Holly joins us to chat about the CCB star of the season IF I ONLY HAD CHRISTMAS. Kansas City publicist Darcy ventures to the Emerald Educational Trust for the job of a lifetime, helping VP Glen Goodman and his team find the know how, courage, and heart to help a charity in need for Christmas. Darcy and Glen begin to realize they have everything in common. However, Glen's surprise revelation at the big Christmas gala just may put an end to their promising romance before it has really gotten started. Starring Candace Cameron Bure and Warren Christie.

The Risk of Mary, sermon by Don Freeman There were so many reasons to say, ‘No.' So many, ‘What ifs?' ‘What will my family, friends, fellow villagers, even strangers, think?' ‘What about Joseph's reaction?' Many would have begun the round of questioning with, ‘Why me, of all people?' While Mary probably wouldn't have considered herself a risk-taker, something about the intimacy of her relationship with God, her leaning in to his love, to his leading, created in her a posture of heart that made submission to any and all plans of her good God seem both wildly uncertain and supremely safe. Mary's vibrant faith, in the face of the angel's startling pronouncement, freed her to speak those fateful words, “Be it unto me . . .” Luke 1: 26-56 A. _______________________________ 1. v. 29 – troubled 2. v.34 – How will this be? 3. v. 38 – I _____ the Lord's servant. ___________________________________________as you have said. B. _______________________________ 1. v. 39 – a hurried visit 2. vv. 40-45 – Elizabeth's ______________________ C. ______________________________ 1. vv. 46-56 – Mary's ________________________ song

Joseph was probably in his late teens to early twenties, living in his father’s house in Nazareth, when he met Mary. For Joseph, becoming a responsible man able to support a wife meant learning a trade or occupation—probably from his father, Jacob. God has tied masculine responsibility to occupational reality. While it isn’t known how well they got along, Joseph may have developed a deep love for his heavenly Father from his love for his earthly father. God often uses earthly examples to teach heavenly principles. Although we don’t know what kind of man Joseph’s father was, we do know it was customary in Jewish culture for the father to find or approve a wife for his son—often a distant relative. While Mary was probably a teenager, Jacob likely saw her devotion to God and approved of their marriage (Luke 1:38, 46-49). Marks of loving God are submission to the authority over you and incorporating godly counsel into decisions (Prov. 12:15; 1 Cor. 15:33; Eph. 6:1-3).

Now that they've nearly returned to Tortuga, the crew of the Caliban quickly learn the latest happenings on the island. While Mary begins planning her future as a pirate, Captain Crowe hopes to oversee the first rum ration for the bretheren of Tortuga--and not blind his crews in the process....

Today, on a very special episode of Work In Progress, Sophia is joined by Mary L. Trump for an incredibly timely conversation with the election right around the corner. Mary is a psychologist, businessperson, and author. She is also the niece of current President Donald J. Trump. While Mary has largely remained out of the spotlight for most of her life, her recently published book, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man, thrust her into the spotlight following its release in July of this year. The New York Times bestseller casts a cold light on the many dysfunctions within the Trump family and the impact that they had on shaping the man that Donald J. Trump is today. On today’s episode of Work in Progress, Sophia and Mary discuss Mary’s early years growing up in New York, her parents, grandparents and family dynamics, her training and experience in clinical psychology settings, the pervasive toxic masculinity, and turbulence that existed within her family and the lasting impact that it had on the man that Donald Trump grew up to be...and so, so much more.

While Mary had to take a sick day, Jason was joined by brand new friend Lisa Leaheey from The Critical Critics for the exciting conclusion to #spookyseason! Jason and Lisa discuss Halloween decorations, movie trailers that scared them as kids, movies they TOTALLY shouldn't have seen as kids, which movie in The Human Centipede series is the best (the answer may shock you!) and finally they have a 45-minute discussion on this month's Movie of the Month "Sleepaway Camp" which features unique kills and SO! MANY! HAIRY! SHIRTLESS! GUYS!

Mary Upchurch joins hosts, Jack Galvin & Hillary Hutson as they take a break for the norm. Hillary steps out of her comfort zone and gives Tinder a try. We break down the differences of our daters during this project. While Mary eats Jack's Christmas present, we discuss the stigma behind dating in your late 30's & 40's, the efficiency of dating a lot of people at one time at the same place, and what makes the best profile.

Interviewing my book editor Mary Ford was a pleasure!  By sharing her background, including her early years of marriage and how—when she walked into a newsroom for the first time at 35, felt like she belonged—showed me how relatable she is. Mary is an accomplished editor, and she had us both laughing about some embarrassing typos in headlines and news copy in her journalism career. Those experiences she revealed showed that Mary understands vulnerability and that we all make mistakes. She knows the value of having a second set of eyes look at what we write and she couldn’t stress the importance enough for every writer to welcome feedback—even though it may not be what we want to hear. She openly welcomed clients of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities throughout our interview including students, business people, authors, and more. And with her professional background as a teacher, those skills she carries with her—help her clients achieve the great writing and messaging they are all looking for. Especially when most of us need an expert like Mary is at meeting deadlines. We live in the era of texting, instant messaging, and dashing off emails so I fell in love with Mary’s fondness for the English language. While Mary says we accept that form of communication—complete with its grammatical and spelling errors—that should not take the place of writing well. As an author myself, I share a special connection with Mary, who is writing a coming of age novel about her husband’s youth. To contact Mary directly, please visit www.MaryFordEdit.com today.

Let’s try to settle this Christmas question once for all, “What did Mary know?” The role God formed Mary to play in the birth narrative of Christ is fascinating and critical to our understanding of who Jesus is. While Mary certainly is a flawed sinner like the rest of us, she is used mightily of God and displays great faith in Him. What did she know about Jesus that strengthened her to submit to God’s will in her life? | Luke 1:26-38

“Are We Eager?”12/22/19Luke 2:8-21Core Belief: Authority of the Bible I believe the Bible is the Word of God and has the right to command my belief and action.2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.Scripture: Luke 2:8-218 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” 15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. 21 And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.The Message of this Passage:From the Ligonier Ministries: “Undoubtedly, we tend to put a heavy emphasis on the lowly circumstances of Jesus’ birth when we retell the Christmas story each year. Certainly this is appropriate, for the Son of God humbled Himself profoundly when He “emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men” (Phil. 2:5–8).Christ’s entire life was marked by humiliation, as He moved from a manger in Bethlehem to life as a common person in Nazareth to His ignoble death on the cross. Yet this humiliation led finally to glory. God the Father, because Jesus had been faithful to His mission, exalted Jesus and “bestowed on him the name that is above every name” (vv. 9–11).Our Savior’s glory was veiled by human flesh in His incarnation, and it remained hidden throughout much of His ministry. Yet there were points in our Savior’s life when His glory shone temporarily through the veil. The best example of this is the transfiguration, the moment when Peter, James, and John were granted a vision of the Lord’s glory as it shone through the flesh of the Savior (Matt. 17:1–13).Furthermore, this glory also shone brightly at times when the people might not have been expecting it. In the midst of the humbling conditions of our Lord’s birth (poverty, being unable to find shelter in Bethlehem), there was a special manifestation of the Messiah’s glory to people nearby.The account of this manifestation is found in today’s passage.While Mary and Joseph tended to their son, many shepherds were nearby tending their flocks (Luke 2:8). In those days, shepherds occupied the bottom rung of society’s ladder, and the average citizen of Judea wanted little to do with these keepers of sheep. No one could have predicted that the first people to hear of Jesus outside of His parents would be a motley crew of shepherds. Nevertheless, an angel of the Lord appeared to these men, who got to watch the greatest sound-and-light show of all time (Luke 2:8–9).Understandably, the shepherds were afraid (v. 9), but in this case the glory of the Lord’s presence, which they could otherwise not endure, was a good thing. This was the announcement of the Savior, the One who had come to redeem even society’s outcasts. So, after the angels sang their praises to the Lord, the shepherds hastily traveled into Bethlehem to see the wonderful gift the Father had given to His people (vv. 15–16).The shepherds were eager to see the Savior of the world, and we should be eager to see Him as well. This involves not only coming to Him in our conversions but also seeking His face each and every day of our lives.Though we will not see the fullness of His glory until we see Him face to face in heaven,we will nonetheless come to a fuller appreciation of this glory as we study His Word and pray to Him.Let us be diligent in these means of grace.”Answering Interpretive Questions:We know these events took place after the birth of Jesus, but how does Luke’s interpretation differ from Matthew’s account? Why do you think they are different?Why do you think the first proclamation is made to shepherds?Why is the announcement in v. 11 so significant?Take time to consider all Mary had been through up to this point. What do you think she “pondered in her heart” according to v.19?What does this story teach us about those our culture quickly overlooks?Is there anyone you quickly dismiss, or don’t pay attention to, and how can you change your attitude towards these people in the future?Compare the reactions of the three groups mentioned in 2:18– 20: the onlookers “amazed,” Mary “treasuring and pondering,” and the shepherds “glorifying and praising God.” How do these reactions compare to our modern day reactions to the gospel?Read Revelation 1:13-18. What are the differences between these two images of Jesus?Read Romans 5:1. Even since the birth of Jesus there has not been peace on earth. How would you explain the peace that Jesus brings to an unbeliever?Notes:

Before Jessica Alba had a hip-hop dance career, few may recall that Kirsten Larson was also making gold from honey. In the fifth Kirsten book, we find our young hero has become an unbearably brave woman of the woods. Undaunted by wild bears, Kirsten “saves the day” by finding honeycombs and eventually, creating a new revenue stream for the family. While Mary and Allison question Kirsten’s devotion to beekeeping (Bees? Beads? Her?) they tackle the concepts of wilderness and whiteness. This episode also includes an important discussion on Justin Timberlake and the unresolved, unanswered BOLO for Singing Bird.Visit our merch store!

Key Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 We often miss out on God's plans for us because we feel unworthy or we're simply unwilling. When an angel appeared to Mary, telling her she was chosen to bring Christ into the world, she was stunned. How could God choose a nobody like her to do such an incredible thing? While Mary knew her inadequacies, she also knew the greatness of God. While she knew the road ahead would be difficult, she also knew it would be worth it. Are you willing to allow God to use your life according to His will? Scripture References and Quotes: Luke 1:28-29 Hebrews 13:5 Matthew 1:23 Ephesians 3:20 1 Corinthians 4:1 1 Peter 2:16 Galatians 1:10

Ever-optimistic single mom Emma Sanderson is looking for a Christmas miracle to write about for the lifestyle magazine at which she has landed a temporary job. While following her lead on the story, Emma discovers unexpected romance with a supportive colleague and takes it upon herself to bring about a Christmas miracle for a lonely street musician. While Mary takes a short break, Sarah's neighbors Sarah and her daughter Candice fill in for all things Hallmarked Up - Christmas Bingo, #Relatable and of course the Red Pen Rewind Rewrite of A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!

Quality is more important than quantity. While Mary worshipped at Jesus' feet, Martha was hard at work around the house. While Martha was mad about what Mary was doing, Jesus actually said that what Mary was doing was a better use of time. Even doing something necessary can be a misappropriation of your time. Sometimes we can get so busy with our checklist that we end up missing the people around us. In the end, it’s about one thing - being like Jesus.

Luke 12 repeatedly speaks about anxiety and fear, and even earlier in the gospel book, we are told another story about anxiety featuring the sisters, Mary and Martha. While Mary listened at the feet of Jesus, Martha kept herself busy flittering about to make sure everything at the party was just right.

While Mary is away, Travis and James get to chattin' about all the crazy and interesting things that were announced at the Disney's D23 expo!

What really matters in life? Are we listening to what matters most? Let's go deep in God's word to find out in Luke 10. Jesus is coming unto the home town of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. He stops to spend time with them. Martha gets too tied up with doing a good thing, cooking. While Mary has chosen a greater thing, to sit and listen.

We have something a bit different for Episode 10! While Mary #2 was off gallivanting in London, Mary #1 sat down with Ber Grogan, independent candidate for NUI panel of Seanad Éireann. Once Mary got over the weirdness of not having Mary #2 there, we had some great chats! Expect housing and single people, pro-choice activism, dating, politics and why everyone on mortgage ads has great teeth. Never fear, both Marys will be back together for the next episode :) The photo is of Mary #1 and Ber delivering canvassing training together this time last year!! #getberinder

Susan and Mark discuss the episode The Election which originally aired on March 21, 1977. It is the 20th episode in Season 3. Synopsis: "As a prank to make him look foolish, the older boys of Walnut Grove school nominate the object of their practical jokes, gentle Elmer Dobkins, to run for class president against popular Mary Ingalls and wealthy Nellie Oleson. While Mary and Nellie wage their campaigns with promises of popcorn and gum balls, Mr. Dobkins witnesses his son being teased by the older boys and, when he finds out why Elmer was nominated, angrily orders him to pull out of the election. But, when election day comes and the race seems too close to call, a cruel act and children tired of being bullied decide the outcome."

While Mary's song was personal, relating what God had done for her, in this next song of Zechariah's, he expands our vision, showing us that God has worked not just for individuals, but for the entire universe. The Jews had long been awaiting their Messiah, and in this song, Jesus is called by that name, and God is to be praised for coming to his people, and rescuring them. But it is not just the Jews that benefit from God's redemptive work; this redemption is for all who have been living in darkness, in the shadow of death. Through the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, all have been offered the love and mercy of God.

Known for her dry humor and unrelenting honesty, bestselling memoirist Mary Karr shares how she threw away the equivalent of four finished books, how she gets through the “scary blankness” of bad writing days (and invokes favorite prayers!), why she ALWAYS writes a proposal for every book, and one of her biggest motivations (hint: a lot of writers will disagree with this one). While Mary’s first love is poetry, her 1995 memoir, The Liar’s Club, reignited the memoir movement, while her most recent book, The Art of Memoir, reveals in detail both her personal process and insights from a decade of teaching the form at Syracuse University. You’ll be ready to do the tough work and tell the tough truth after this jam-packed conversation.

Luke 1.26-38 While Mary’s character can be seen in other passages, God’s character is on display here. God gives grace to whom He wills. His grace is not earned, but freely given to His People.

In contrast to Mary, who wanted to be as close to Jesus as possible, Judas, who was with Jesus often, was far from Him in his heart. While Mary's gift of adoration cost her a year's wages, Judas sold out Jesus for a third of that.
